Chapter 289: My Majestic Source of Inspiration
"What's the problem?" Lilmu asked honestly.
"We had to find a good and professional recording studio with a mixer who could guide us."
"This just happens to be ready-made, and the conservatory has a very high-quality recording studio, which can be borrowed directly, and then a professor is hired as a guide." Olivier swayed his long hair triumphantly, trying to make himself more sober in this position.
"This problem is solved, next."
"The band doesn't have a drummer right now, so it's going to be a bit difficult on the soundtrack."
"You can look at it from the students of the conservatory."
Duchamp nodded, and then continued: "Now the repertoire created by everyone in hand is relatively scattered, and the record needs to work out themes and styles, so you can filter the existing works and divide them into several themes and styles, and pour them into different records. β
Liermu thought for a moment and said: "In fact, in terms of subject matter, there are two main types, one is a repertoire that sings about the scenery of various places, and the other is a romantic love song. Isaac wrote two songs, both of which were related to the customs of the South, and it was better to have an album containing songs from all over the empire, and another album to include love songs. β
"If two albums are being prepared at the same time, will they not be able to keep up in terms of the number of creations?" Isaac raised his doubts.
"Don't worry, if it's a love song, I'll write it myself enough to make several albums." Olivier said nonchalantly.
Duchamp sniffled, feeling the pressure of genius on his face. "On the album where I wrote the scenery, I added another song about the scenery of the north, and the name was, well, the wolf of the north."
Liermuel copied Duchamp's new track on paper, and Duchamp reminded him: "The song in the wind that you have adapted the lyrics of before, which was very popular after it was broadcast on the radio, can also be added." β
Leermu nodded and said, "After I finish sorting out all the songs we are writing now, I will take them to my music enlightenment teacher to see, so that he can guide the immature places." After a month, everything should be ready. β
After finalizing the matter of the album, Duchamp whispered to Lilmuel: "I have entrusted a local businessman to help me find a person who can run the record company, and you should also pay attention to see if there is a suitable person, preferably before the holiday." Also, inquire about the procedures and requirements that need to be reported. β
Learmu nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it in mind." β
After everything was decided, Duchamp picked up the jar of fruit wine in front of him and said to the students: "Most of us will not be able to pursue music as a career in the future, and we will have to go our separate ways after graduation, but in the remaining two years, we can make the most of this time and do something we like." With Olivier on the band, they have been a big creative boost, and even if they record one album every semester, they will have five albums to keep as souvenirs when they graduate. β
"Cheers to doing what you love."
"Cheers to the new album!"
The students shouted.
"Ah, I feel like my passionate source of inspiration is about to leap out of my heart!" Olivier shouted excitedly, touching his chest.
"It looks so natural, it's not pretentious at all." Duchamp looked at someone in a state of affection and muttered to himself.
"Today is the last day of the imperial capital, and tomorrow we will go our separate ways, and we should indulge in a carnival."
"How about another day of drinking on Bar Street?" Olivier suggested with gusto.
Leermu gave him a roll of his eyes fiercely, and whispered: "If you disappear once in a while, you can barely get through, and if you disappear for another night, I don't know how many detailed complaints and admonitions you will hear." β
"Or go sightseeing in Garunier, where the high-end entertainment and shopping are very good, as are the Imperial Opera House and the Hippodrome." Duchamp made his own proposal.
"Okay, I've just heard of it, but I haven't visited it yet."
"The racetrack is a good idea, although it's not the season for horse racing, but there is a greyhound race this afternoon, so you can make a few bets before the race." Learmey anxiously diverted everyone's attention from the bar and proposed to go to the racetrack.
Many had never been to the racetrack before, and the proposal was quickly embraced.
After coming out of the tavern, the group took a guided bus to the Royal Hippodrome in Garunier and bought tickets to get in.
Duchamp watched everyone take out their pocket money to buy lottery bets, smiled slightly, walked to the service area, paid to rent a communicator, and dialed the phone number of von Stark's jewelry store.
Mr. Lincoln happened to have nothing special to do this afternoon, and he dropped by to invite two other von Stark shareholders to the racecourse for a pastime.
Today is Friday, and there are quite a few people at the racecourse, and a few gentlemen in orthodox clothes are out of breath as they search the crowd for Duchamp and the others.
"Over here!" Duchamp was the first to spot Sir Lincoln at the entrance and waved.
"Ah, Stellory, have you all finished your bets, and do you have any advice that you can use as a reference?" Sir Lincoln asked unexpectedly, "Why don't you go upstairs to the noble quarter?" β
Duchamp grinned: "We came directly after dinner, and we didn't wear formal clothes." He greeted the other two shareholders, Mr. von Stark and Mr. Christo, and introduced Sir Lincoln to the students present.
From the eyes of a jewel merchant, Lincoln could see at a glance that these teenagers were all from extraordinary backgrounds, and he introduced himself with a smile: "I have long heard that Stellary is in the elite class, and it is really extraordinary. Under Joseph Lincoln, who runs a fine jewelry store right next to the opera house, watch the game for a while, and if you still have time, go and sit down for a while. β
Duchamp invited Sir Lincoln to come, which was originally a serious matter. He asked: "I have called you before, asking for someone to run the record company on your behalf, these classmates are the members of our Sword and Rose Band, and I want to set up the record company as soon as possible during the holidays." β
It turns out that a group of aristocratic students want to spend money to have a handful!
Lincoln smiled knowingly and gave an account of what he had learned.
"At present, except for the old Imperial Opera Affiliated Record Company and Bellman Publishing Group, there are basically no large-scale companies in the record industry in the imperial capital, and they can't find a suitable partner if they want to acquire one. But I really found a suitable person. A graduate of the Imperial Conservatory, he has tried his own record label before, and now works for the famous musical instrument manufacturer Levelt, a cousin of Christo, who is a bit young, not yet 30 years old, but according to Christo, he is very capable. β
Mr. Christo took over the topic and reintroduced his cousin's situation.
Duchamp listened to the introduction, probably a music lover, and was engaged in the record distribution industry, so he roughly agreed, called Learmel over, and introduced: "This is the captain of the band, Lilmu Decesse, his home is in the imperial capital, and the record company is now in charge of the preparation, so please meet with him to discuss it in detail." β
Taking advantage of the gap between Christo and Limmour, Duchamp took Mr. Lincoln aside again and asked about the progress of this year's jewelry fair, and finally, Duchamp asked by the way how the baron's fur coat was selling.
Speaking of the brother-in-law, Lincoln couldn't help laughing: "I found him a high-end ready-to-wear store to sell, and it is said that for the first few days, he stood on the side of the road and stared at it, and every time he sold a piece, he was incorrigibly naΓ―ve." β
