Chapter 353: Fang Yajun's new album

Xiao Tianlang and Du Xinghe took a step to the Red Guild Hall, and they were already waiting for the two of them in the elegant private room.

The Red Guild Hall is open to the public, with a total of 24 private rooms, with the late Tang Dynasty poet Sikong Tu's "Twenty-Four Poems" as the theme of each private room, which is quite stylish.

Xiao Tianlang made an appointment to the "Chaoyi" private room this night, the area of the room is not large, the house in ancient times, in addition to the hall, in fact, the separate room is very small, only a dozen square meters, and the retro furniture furnished in it is quite ancient, elegant and exquisite.

After the leading lady took Du Xinghe and Xu Nuo to the private room, she left on her own, so as not to disturb the celebrity meeting.

There is no ordering in the small private room that is open to the public, and the hall is served with dishes for guests according to the seat, which saves the trouble of celebrities ordering food. Most of the people who come here to consume come to talk about things, and eating is the second place, so there is no need to waste people's time on ordering.

"Xiao Production, you arrived early enough, I arrived ten minutes early, I didn't expect you to arrive faster than me." After Du Xinghe took Xu Nuo into the door, he greeted Xiao Tianlang.

Xiao Tianlang had already taken off his black tweed jacket and hung it on the hanger, and at this time his upper body was dressed plainly in a white shirt, and his thin appearance really looked like a model worker.

I have eaten with Du Xinghe several times, and the relationship has become more and more familiar, if Du Xinghe comes alone, Xiao Tianlang will save some trouble of greeting and saluting, and he will not get up to greet Du Xinghe. But Du Xinghe came with Xu Nuo, Xiao Tianlang had only seen Xu Nuo once in Yunshijie, and he had not eaten in private. So I had to get up and greet the two of them and said, "I have nothing to do here, so I came early." ”

After Xiao Tianlang's gaze met with Du Xinghe, he turned to Xu Nuo.

"Xiao is ready." Xu Nuo immediately greeted Xiao Tianlang.

Xiao Tianlang smiled and nodded at Xu Nuo, saying hello to Xu Nuo.

Xiao Tianlang's attitude is very friendly, but Xu Nuo always feels that this person's eyes are terrible, Xiao Tianlang's eyes are dry brown, and there are a little spots on them, which is not very healthy and not very godly. But it was calm. The man who was targeted by his eyes. will inexplicably give birth to a feeling of being seen through, and when people are seen through, they are always a little frightened, so they look at Xiao Tianlang. There are quite a few people who are afraid. Especially those who have ghosts in their hearts.

Just like Xu Nuo now. was stared at by Xiao Tianlang and smiled slightly, she felt that the relationship with Du Xinghe seemed to be understood by Xiao Tianlang, because his smile seemed to be subtle!

Xu Nuo just came back from the United States. Later, the two of us had to go to a birthday party of a former Huayi classmate, so we came over together. Du Xinghe explained to Xiao Tianlang in front of Xu Nuo, so as not to make Xu Nuo really feel like a light bulb.

Xiao Tianlang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a light meal, eating with cute girls has always been a happy thing for me Xiao." ”

Xiao Tianlang spoke, and glanced at Xu Nuo politely.

Xu Nuo didn't expect that Xiao Tianlang's relationship with Du Xinghe would be so good, and his mood was much more relaxed, and he smiled sweetly at Xiao Tianlang, which was Xiexie Xiao Tianlang's praise for her.

But he didn't think about it, Xiao Tianlang immediately spied on the military situation: "Xu Nuo, you have been gaining momentum recently, I heard Xiao Du always say, you are recording a new album, when are you going to release it?" ”

Xu Nuo was stunned by Xiao Tianlang's question, she didn't expect Xiao Tianlang to care about her new album, and she didn't know whether to leak this trade secret.

Du Xinghe quickly picked up Xiao Tianlang's words, did not embarrass Xu Nuo, and said: "I won't collide with your little king, we are self-aware, you can rest assured, if the recording goes well, Xu Nuo's new album should be released in May." ”

The three of them sat at the round table in an equilateral triangle position, Xiao Tianlang took a sip of tea, and said to Du Xinghe: "Look at this speed, you Yun Shijie is an album in a month, Zhai Xiaofeng in March, Yiyan in April, Xu Nuo in May, who is in June?" ”

Xu Nuo was stunned by Xiao Tianlang's words, how could this super producer know so much about the order in which Yun Shijie released the album? Even Ihiko knew that he would release an album in April! Later, after a little thought, it is estimated that during her absence, Du Xinghe and Xiao Tianlang had further negotiations, and the promotion and distribution of Yiyan's new album had been finalized.

Du Xinghe has already told Xu Nuo that Yiyan's new album will be promoted by Guoyu, which can be regarded as a Shiyan cooperation, if Yiyan's album sells well, it shows that Guoyu attaches more importance to cooperation with Yun Shijie, so that in the future, Yun Shijie's singers can have more publicity options when they release albums again. After all, it is not enough for them to rely on Hongyan to publicize it.

Although Hongyan's ability is very strong, but manpower and material resources are limited after all, there are more and more singers in Yun Shijie, Hongyan also has singers, they are not a super large company of the level of national entertainment, and they can make effective publicity for many singers at the same time.

The effect of letting Hongyan push one or two singers at the same time may be obvious, but if you push too much, they will not be able to reach it. What's more, Hongyan also signed the publicity and distribution work of Fang Yajun, the great god, and the focus of their company in the second half of the year is to package and promote Fang Yajun, which is almost a battle of all its efforts, and it is impossible to have more manpower and material resources to promote other singers.

Du Xinghe has long expected this, so he will contact national entertainment, including arrow targets, to establish more publicity channels. At the same time, he is also planning to take the opportunity of merging the publishing house to gradually establish Yun Shijie's own publicity, publishing and distribution team.

At this moment, seeing Xiao Tianlang asking Yun Shijie who would release an album in June, Du Xinghe joked in a good mood:

"June Fang Yajun."

Hearing this thunderous name, Xiao Tianlang's hand twisting the teacup trembled slightly, and his face seemed to become ugly, but he forced himself to stay calm, and asked Du Xinghe: "Didn't you say before that Fang Yajun only released an album in August and September?" Why is it so early to June again? ”

Du Xinghe knew that Xiao Tianlang was very concerned about Yun Shijie's actions now, so he was also true or false to Xiao Tianlang, and he couldn't tell Xiao Tianlang everything to him.

Took Xu Nuo and poured him haode oolong tea. Du Xinghe took a sip, fragrant and fragrant, astringent and sweet, into the throat into sweet, this is the northwest suburbs of Fuwan county produced in the country's top oolong tea - Tieguanyin.

Du Xinghe prefers the taste of this tea, but he does not like to drink this tea very much, because according to legend, the man who often drinks Tieguanyin will not give birth to a son. He himself didn't believe in this, but in the previous plane, a few friends around him didn't believe in this set either. After all gave birth to daughters. He doesn't drink much Tieguanyin.

In this plane, it is still early to give birth to children, so he is not taboo about these, and he begins to enjoy this excellent oolong tea with a strong aroma again.

Although it is oolong tea. But it's not an oolong thing. Du Xinghe naturally didn't give Fang Yajun's album so much in advance. It is impossible for him to release Fang Yajun's new album in advance, and it may even be postponed! Because after Chen Xi watched nearly 100 classic songs he gave Fang Yajun circle, he overthrew Jihua who they wanted to release a single album for Fang Yajun. I want Fang Yajun's first comeback album to release a two-disc album of twenty songs!

There is no other reason for this, it is because there are too many classic songs, and even Chen Xi is not easy to choose! After all, this album is related to Fang Yajun's status and future in the music world, so it must be done carefully. So, Chen Xi came up with the idea of launching a double-disc album.

Generally, online singers rarely release double-disc albums, unless it is an album that pushes old songs and new songs, or it is directly an old-fashioned album with multiple songs.

It's purely a new song, and there is no need for the singer to push two discs in one go, release one disc first, let the market digest it slowly, and then push another one, and then wait for the market to digest it, this rhythm is in line with the laws of the market.

Pushing a double disc album of pure new songs in one breath, this is a rare precedent in the music industry, at least famous singers don't do this, even a spire singer like Andy Cheung will not choose to release a new album in this way, because it is really unnecessary, one album and one disc are enough to sell, two discs, double the songs, and they are all new songs, which means that the risk must be doubled, after all, it is impossible for every song in the album to be a classic, in case fans don't accept it, then smash the pot.

Ten songs on an album, a few classics, a few bland songs, with each other, this is already the most perfect way to sell albums that has been proven by the market, and it is also the rhythm that fans have long been accustomed to.

20 songs, even if there are fewer bland songs, they have to account for half of the proportion, half is 10 songs, so many bland songs are pushed to fans at one time, can fans accept it?

Just think about it, you know how risky it is, so a mature producer wouldn't make an album for a singer like this.

Chen Xi proposed to Fang Yajun to make a double-disc album, which is actually a bit risky, after all, there is no precedent for this kind of album to sell successfully in the market.

In the days before the Spring Festival, he listened carefully to the sample of 100 songs written by Du Xinghe to Fang Yajun no less than five times, and after racking his brains to study it, he still didn't make a perfect single-disc form match, because no matter how he matched it, even if all 10 songs were classic, he still felt that there were more haode songs that were not put in.

There are more than 30 songs written by Du Xinghe, and when paired with Fang Yajun, they can be called classics! With all the pop elements, as long as it is put in the music world, it will definitely be a hit! There are at least 15 of them, all of which can be used as the title song of the album! These 15 songs are the first classics, how do you say you let him choose?

Chen Xi knows best how important this album is to Fang Yajun, so much so that he also had some pressure when choosing these songs. In order to match Fang Yajun's album well, this master didn't have a good New Year this year, and spent a lot of time studying Du Xinghe's creation, and the more he studied, the more shocked he became! This young man's creative talent is really strong!

For music creators, including Chen Xi himself, most of the songs written over the years are actually bland, and only a few songs can be circulated and become classics. Most of the rest is buried in the waste folder.

However, the 100 songs written by Du Xinghe are not super classic, even if they are average, Chen Xi feels that they are all songs with publishing strength!

And these songs are not processed from the assembly line like most musicians nowadays according to popular templates, just like processing screws.

Du Xinghe's 100 songs have many different styles, completely different melodic structures, and even the wording of the lyrics is very different. There is no pattern at all.

If it weren't said that it was written by one person, Chen Xi would have thought that this was a high-quality playlist created by dozens of top musicians who spent a lot of time creating!

I have seen Du Xinghe's creative strength before, and I know that Du Xinghe is a super genius who can create classics with superhuman inspiration in a short period of time, so Chen Xi has no doubt that these songs are written by Du Xinghe.

Du Xinghe was able to write so many classic songs for Fang Yajun in such a short period of time, according to Fang Yajun's characteristics, which made Chen Xi have the idea of breaking the convention, that is, to release a double album for Fang Yajun!

He even wanted to suggest a three-disc album to Fang Yajun at one point! However, considering the market acceptance, he Zuihou still proposed the idea of a double-disc album.

Since Du Xinghe is so able to write songs, they don't have to worry about having no good songs available in the future. Not at all like most of the producers online these days. After catching a few good songs, you have to save some use, and I can't wait to break the good songs that are definitely popular into two songs (imitate a similar one) and release two albums to use. After the first album was a big hit. They immediately released a similar album with imitation songs as the main track. Usually this is the case. Sales of the latter album will also be high.

Today's albums, the reason why they have to use a few classic songs with a few bland songs, and even some albums only have one song classic. Everything else is bland, and the reason for this is because there are too few good songs. This is a problem that every producer has to face.

However, for Du Xinghe, it is not because he writes too few good songs that give the producer a headache, but because the songs he writes are too bland, which makes the producer scratch his head!

Chen Xi felt that it was not perfect no matter how he matched it, so he broke his head and came up with a strategy of a double-disc album.

Fang Yajun has been dormant for too long, and fans have been looking forward to her for too long.

Give Fang Yajun a 20-song all-classic double-disc album in one go, the market will definitely be able to digest it, who doesn't want to pay for good songs?

is only a classic of 20 songs of conscience, which is worthy of those fans who have always been worried about Fang Yajun!

Based on this consideration, Chen Xizuihou circled 15+10 carefully selected classics for Fang Yajun, and suggested to Fang Yajun that Fang Yajun use the 15 songs he selected, plus 5 of the other 10 songs, to produce a double-disc album.

Fang Yajun conveyed Chen Xi's suggestion to Du Xinghe, and after listening to Chen Xi's reasons conveyed by Fang Yajun, Du Xinghe also felt that this method was feasible. Just use a double-disc classic, let Fang Yajun reign in the world again!

In the days after the Spring Festival, when Xu Nuo was away, the team on Yun Shijie's side, Fang Yajun's team, and Hongyan's team held several major meetings, and finally decided that Fang Yajun's new album would be in the form of a double-disc album! The songs were all chosen. And under Fang Yajun's strong recommendation, the name of the new album was also set, which is called "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain"!

This name is clear at a glance, it is telling the story of Fang Yajun in the past seven years.

This name is also the name of a classic song on this album, but "Sunshine is Always After the Wind and Rain" is not the title song of this album, because this album has no title song, except for the song "He Loves Me for a Long Time" that Fang Yajun wants to give to fans, the other songs are title songs!

Such an album as precious as a diamond, which gathers the wisdom of several music masters in the previous plane, is the most important album of Yun Shijie in the second half of this year, the album that Du Xinghe is most looking forward to, and the album that Fang Yajun has been waiting for for eight years to finally make a comeback, and it is also the album that Hongyan Records wants to spend the heaviest money ever to promote! All parties take this kind of album very seriously!

Since late March, Hongyan is going to build momentum for Fang Yajun's new album, Fang Yajun has also started to exercise after the Spring Festival, practice her voice, adjust her state, and prepare to start recording in mid-March.

According to all parties, this period should be the time for Du Xinghe to produce and arrange the music for Fang Yajun's album, and before Fang Yajun started recording in mid-March, Du Xinghe wanted at least one-third of the songs to be arranged.

When it comes to arrangement, the most workload and the most boring work in music creation is because musicians have to repeatedly match and debug, and strive to perfectly present the content of the song.

It usually takes a few weeks for musicians to make a classic arrangement for a song, but everyone knows that Du Xinghe is a super genius, so I believe that Du Xinghe will be able to complete the arrangement of this album soon.

Du Xinghe can naturally complete this work easily, because the arrangements of these classic songs have long been in his mind, and he doesn't have to think too much about this, just slightly rearrange the instrument collocation in a few songs, so as to better match Fang Yajun's natural singing voice.

After that, the most important work of this album is Fang Yajun's recording work. Although Fang Yajun's strength is transcendent, it will take a lot of time to show the perfect level of each of these 20 songs with relatively large style differences.

Du Xinghe's recording time for Fang Yajun is expected to be set for about three months, that is, before mid-July, and the recording must be completed. During this period, Hongyan also has to do a good job of promoting Fang Yajun's comeback, and after everything is in order, Fang Yajun's new album will strive to be released in August or September.

However, this is all an expected plan, after all, this time it is to record 20 songs, not 10 songs, and there may not be anything in the future, so Fang Yajun's album may also be postponed. (To be continued......)
