Chapter 18: Changing the voice actor
The celebration party didn't end until eleven o'clock and lasted for nearly an hour, and after rejecting the offer to let the TV station staff drive them, Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi slowly strolled down the road.
It's not too late, the real nightlife hasn't started yet, the street lights are bright, and there are still a lot of cars on the streets.
"What did you say to the manager of Golden Disc Entertainment just now, it doesn't seem very pleasant."
Ai Xiaoqi's fingers were different from each other, he straightened his arm and moved his body, Zhang Yao shrugged his shoulders and said: "What does it mean not too fast, it can be described as unhappy." ”
Zhang Yao took out Zhou Mingrui's business card and threw it into the trash, and then said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, he wanted to sign a contract with me and ask me to write songs for their company, but I refused." ”
"It's as simple as that?" Ai Xiaoqi didn't seem to believe it.
"There's also the fact that he wants to buy out the rights to three songs."
Zhang Yao then added, and Ai Xiaoqi said: "This can also be discussed, isn't it quite pleasant for you to talk to Qian Kun?" Actually, I think it's not bad for you to sign a contract, if you become famous, I will write a memoir, and break the news about your troubles in junior high and high school, and you can also make a fortune. ”
"Evil capitalist, do you still lack this money?"
Zhang Yao rolled his eyes and said: "He signed me to write songs, not to sign me to be a singer, I really haven't thought about making a debut now, and I'm not in a hurry anyway." As for the issue of buying out the copyright of the song, the price of the product is 100,000 yuan for three songs. ”
After wanting to sign Zhang Yao was rejected, Zhou Mingrui did not give up, in fact, many songwriters are free and do not belong to any company, and they sell their own works.
Licensing and selling out the rights are two different things, and songs written by well-known songwriters are selected for release, and in addition to the cost of the buyout, they can also get a certain share of the column.
The TV station offered a high price of 50,000 yuan per song just by obtaining the distribution authorization, but Zhou Mingrui wanted to buy it out because he wanted to package three songs for only 100,000 yuan, completely treating Zhang Yao as an idiot who didn't understand anything.
"Damn, why don't you smoke him, does he think that we are still high school students and won't even know about this kind of market?"
Ai Xiaoqi was also indignant when she heard this, and Zhang Yao said: "People think they are big shots, and everyone has to give him face to please him." Don't talk about this, I always have a question for you, don't you feel sorry for not being a real singer? ”
Ai Xiaoqi stopped, tilted her head and thought about it, and said: "It seems a little, and I think it's really not very important, I like to sing, but I don't have to be a singer to sing." ”
"That being said, there are two feelings, but there are two feelings: some people listen and no one listens."
Zhang Yao scratched his head and said: "If you can't be a singer, you can only go to KTV when you sing in the future, don't expect that there will be people in KTV who will listen to you singing, they are more interested in drinking and idle than listening to songs." ”
"You're trying to find something wrong for me, aren't you?"
Ai Xiaoqi glared at Zhang Yao with her waist inserted, and then quickly opened the two god positions and said, "Anyway, when I want to sing, you have to prick up your ears and listen." ”
"Don't go so fast, wait."
Zhang Yao caught up and said, "Actually, I'm thinking that if you don't mind not showing up behind the scenes, you can be the sound source of Hatsune Miku...... No, it's a voice actor. This way, your dad doesn't have anything to pick on, and you can continue to sing to others, the best of both worlds. ”
Although he copied Hatsune, there is no need to operate completely according to the method of the original time and space, and it is also a very good idea to let Ai Xiaoqi give his voice behind the scenes, and it is completely bad fun for him to be a voice actor himself, but he doesn't care about giving way.
"As far as your comic book character, have you clicked on a hundred?"
Although Ai Xiaoqi said this, her eyes were rolling, and she was obviously tempted, which mentioned Zhang Yao's sadness again, and shouted sadly: "Please don't say it, I can't afford to hurt it." ”
Subconsciously wanted to take out his mobile phone to see the click-through rate, thinking about it or forgetting it, so as not to be hit again, Ai Xiaoqi said: "This is not without merit, if you can always write good songs, I will reluctantly agree to you." ”
"You can rest assured, in my planning, there will be a concert after Hatsune."
"It's not a real person, what kind of concert is it?"
Ai Xiaoqi pursed his lips to express disdain, and Zhang Yao said: "Who said that virtual characters can't hold concerts, just use projection, and you can also use lasers to do 3D imaging when you play high-end." ”
Ai Xiaoqi's eyes widened again and said, "Do you really want to do this?" It's not impossible to think about it, but before that, you have to make Hatsune famous, and the number of hits on the Internet is less than 100 and you still have a solo concert. ”
"Needless to say?"
Although "Sweet" stumbled, this is related to the lack of promotion, Zhang Yao is still very confident, and said: "I have now written a song and plan to record it tomorrow, now that you are a voice actor, let's go together." I assure you that Hatsune Miku will definitely be a diva-level superstar in the future. ”
Originally, in time and space, Hatsune's influence in the Celestial Empire seemed to be limited to the otaku group, but now it is different in Zhang Yao's hands, there are so many classic songs in the brain, all of them are piled up on Hatsune, and it is difficult not to become a diva, and it is not limited to otaku.
"That's pretty nice, tell me what is the name of the song you wrote?"
"It's called the Song of Throwing Onions."
"Get out, my mother won't talk nonsense with you."
Ai Xiaoqi thought that Zhang Yao was joking again, and said with a glare: "Everyone goes back to their own house to find their own mother, tomorrow you have to come up with a song that satisfies me, or you should be the voice actor of Hatsune yourself." ”
Ai Xiaoqi and Zhang Yao's homes are in different directions, and it is time to part ways after walking for a while, she first stopped a taxi and wanted to flash people, Zhang Yao hurriedly shouted: "Wait." ”
"What's the matter, if you want to have a treat, you owe it first, you'll already have enough to eat at the reception today."
Ai Xiaoqi paused, and Zhang Yao said: "You are a pig, don't keep thinking about eating, I want to ask, do you want to know the real results?" ”
"Is this important?" Ai Xiaoqi asked rhetorically, got into the taxi and left, Zhang Yao smiled, this is really not important anymore, and he also stopped the car and went home.
Ai Xiaoqi didn't understand "Song of Throwing Onions", but Zhang Yao was really not joking with her, in the original time and space, many people in the Celestial Empire knew Hatsune because of this song.
There have been many versions of "Song of Throwing Onions", and Zhang Yao has been thinking about how to choose words, so he couldn't make up his mind before, and after thinking about it carefully, he decided to use Hatsune's original. However, this still seems to make Ai Xiaoqi unacceptable, so Zhang Yao rushed out a normal song after returning home.
The next day was Sunday, there was no need to go to class, the two of them slept for a day and had lunch before coming out to meet, Ai Xiaoqi stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the score." ”
"Let's get in the car first."
Squeezed into the bus, Zhang Yaocai handed the score to Ai Xiaoqi, Ai Xiaoqi looked at it roughly, and said, "What about the lyrics?" ”
"I didn't need it yet, but I knew you'd want to see it, so I printed a copy too."
After recording the tune, it is necessary to make a flash animation, which still takes time, Ai Xiaoqi's recording is not in a hurry, in order to satisfy her curiosity, Zhang Yao printed the lyrics first.
"Babaal Baba, Baalba...... What the hell is this, making fun of me, isn't it? ”
Ai Xiaoqi was furious as a result, and Zhang Yao hurriedly explained: "Calm, this is a homonym for romanization, which is actually very interesting." You can't accept this, so if I come up with a pi song, then I'll have to. ”
"Song of Throwing Green Onions" was originally a song in Finland, and it was later widely circulated after being adapted by Japanese comics, and Zhang Yao also planned to let Hatsune throw green onions like Orihime Inoue in the animation.
"I don't care if you're interesting, you think everyone is as boring as you?"
Ai Xiaoqi's reaction was exactly the same as Zhang Yao expected, so he said: "Yes, I know you will say this, then you can see if this song works, if it works, it should be regarded as an incidental song." ”
Zhang Yao took out a few more sheet music and lyrics and handed them to Ai Xiaoqi, who finally nodded after reading them and said, "It's pretty much the same." ”
The two took the bus to the cradle piano shop, said hello to the shopping guide and went directly to the second floor to find Liang Hong, Ai Xiaoqi looked at the layout curiously like Zhang Yao when he first came, and Zhang Yao walked over to say hello.
Liang Hong, one of the people in the burning band, was debugging their respective instruments, and he was about to speak, Liang Hong first said: "Zhang Yao, why are you here?" ”
"I also want to trouble Brother Liang for you to help record two tunes, I don't know if you are free."
Zhang Yao smiled and stretched out his palm to gesture towards Ai Xiaoqi, and then said, "Let me introduce you first, this is my classmate Ai Xiaoqi." ”
"We already know if we need your introduction."
The drummer Shi interjected with a smile and said: "Ai Xiaoqi, the most popular singer of Caiyun Satellite TV's Dream Sound, it's a pity that she was forced to give up, otherwise the first place would definitely be in the bag." ”
Liang Hong also laughed and said: "We also watched this talent show, and we didn't recognize you last time, so I really feel like I don't know Taishan." ”
During the live broadcast of "The Voice of Dreams", Zhang Yao was given a few close-ups, but the contestants were so dazzling, who would pay attention to the person who wrote the song, at this time the bassist Ah Qiang also said: "We also searched for the song "Sweet" later, and it is indeed a classic song, but it doesn't seem to be sung by Ai Xiaoqi, right?" ”
Zhang Yao smiled again, vaguely asked the question, and said: "A few old brothers are exaggerated, how can you say it so well, and you can see it if you click so bleakly." ”
Perfunctory, Zhang Yao turned back to the topic and said, "Brother Liang, are you going to perform?" It's also to blame that I didn't say hello to you in advance. ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I can't help but go to the street to perform."
Liang Hong said: "It's still early, I won't delay after recording the music for you, if you are interested, let's go together then." ”
Liang Hong did not refuse to record music for Zhang Yao.
