Chapter 18: I Can Teach a Ghost
The next day, Zhong Lei took the 100,000 yuan that the two of them had gathered by smashing pots and selling iron, and got on the plane to Zhonghai.
After all, she studied in Zhonghai, and most of her shallow connections in the music circle are concentrated in Zhonghai, so it is better to go there.
Although the score is ready-made, there are many steps to transform the score into a complete accompaniment.
When wealthy gods make accompaniment, they usually ask a powerful master to convert the score into a part of the accompaniment, and finally combine the audio of different instruments one by one into a complete accompaniment, like building blocks.
The wealthy gods simply invite a variety of different instrumentalists together to form a well-equipped orchestra that slowly records in high-fidelity top-notch recording studios.
No matter what kind of instrument it is, the top players can play their own feelings, and ordinary players can only read from the script.
This is where artistic creation and performance are difficult to replicate and differentiate.
The same score, the mediocre player and the top performer show a completely different effect.
It's a pity that with Zhong Lei and Chen Feng's budget, the real-life recording will definitely not be possible, and they can only use electronic arrangement and synthesis.
The advantage is that the level of accompaniment produced is stable, and the effect is definitely better than casually filling up the number of low-end players.
The disadvantage is also obvious, the accompaniment made by the electronic arrangement lacks the inspiration of the real performer, there is no variable, and there is no spirituality.
Zhong Lei felt a lot of regret in her heart, but she couldn't help it.
If you want to make a big production, you have to spend money, 100,000 is far from the bottom, at least three or four times more before there is a show.
After arriving in Zhonghai, Zhong Lei and Chen Feng proposed to apply for a loan and raise the budget to 200,000 yuan.
She doesn't even ask for an increase in her shareholding, she just wants to do the song well.
But Chen Feng sternly refused to her.
In another time and space, Zhong Lei's independent production of "Boredom" is a purely electronic arrangement.
Chen Feng has changed a lot of history, and he really doesn't want to add more snakes to the production, what he wants is the original.
In the original history, Zhong Lei only created the prototype of "Boredom" about two or three years later, and it should be four years before the production was completed.
The quality of the song has not changed at all, but the time has been greatly advanced.
Until the dust settles, Chen Feng is not sure whether history will continue to develop along its original trajectory.
Although he has tried to be safe, what if there are too many variables and he pounces after singing?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.
Zhong Lei returned to Hanzhou with the finished products that she personally supervised and worked overtime to carefully make.
Chen Feng didn't go to pick up the plane, but waited at home.
Zhong Lei wanted to send him the master tape on the Internet, but he stopped it, there was no need, and it increased the risk.
I haven't seen her for ten days, and Zhong Lei looks a little dusty.
Her whole temperament has changed wonderfully.
Although Zhong Lei had a big temper before, there was a lingering gloom and depression in her whole body.
But now there is no change on her face, but her eyes are full of vigor and vitality.
It feels as if the night is at the end and the dawn is approaching.
Yes, she knew her fate was about to change.
She couldn't feel it just by looking at the score, but when the song was made, she only needed to listen to it once to understand a fact.
The realm of this song is beyond imagination.
Chen Feng's accompaniment score is not the icing on the cake, but the finishing touch.
Even if he has paid enough attention to his strength, Zhong Lei's cognition has still been refreshed again and again.
Whenever he thought he understood his talent, he soon saw something new from this treasure-like man.
What's even more peculiar is that he really didn't show off, and never did.
It's all about discovering it yourself.
This is the legendary sound of the great sound, the great hidden in the world, right?
Pushing the door in, Zhong Lei handed the USB flash drive in her hand to Chen Feng, "Now you can listen to it, right?" ”
Chen Feng nodded, disconnected the laptop first, and then plugged in the USB flash drive to listen.
In the small apartment room, Chen Feng was wearing low-end headphones and listening to songs slowly, and Zhong Lei stood behind him, not daring to take a breath.
Finally, he put down his headphones and closed his eyes in contemplation.
Zhong Lei thought that he was savoring the details with a very high realm, but Chen Feng was just constantly comparing the difference between this "new ship" version and the version he heard in his dreams.
Thanks to his previous forced memory, his process of making comparisons was slow, but it was very delicate.
About fifteen minutes later, Chen Feng opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Lei with a bright face of approval, but in fact, he wanted to worship.
He gave a thumbs up, "Yes, it's amazing." Perfect. ”
He was convinced.
Zhong Lei really has real kung fu.
It is no accident that she can become a great figure in history.
Even if she has pulled out the seedlings to help them grow, even if the conditions are very simple and things are done in a hurry, she still handed in a full score of the answer sheet.
She is so strong in her childhood, and when she understands it and really enters the house, what kind of realm is it that makes people look up to the mountains?
Chen Feng, as a brother with a limited level, said that he really couldn't imagine it.
Here Zhong Lei was praised by him a little shyly, "Thank you, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." ”
Chen Feng quietly looked at the low-key and humble Zhong Lei at this time, and secretly reminded himself.
Make the most of this time.
When she re-realizes her amazing talent, this kind of modest Zhong Lei is afraid that she will not appear again.
"By the way, these are the general situation and contact information of several domestic platforms that I have sorted out, let's sum up which platform to sell the song to."
These days, Zhong Lei is responsible for recording songs, and Chen Feng, a partner, has not done nothing.
But Zhong Lei didn't look at his list, she said: "I think cool songs are not bad." ”
Chen Feng looked down at the list.
There are five or six large-scale music platforms in China, and Kuge is about the second, and it is recently making a series of big moves to collect copyrights, intending to overtake the Q sound corner, which is currently ranked first in China.
Therefore, at present, the policy of the Kuge platform for singers and copyright owners is very lenient, and it makes a lot of profits.
On the whole, cool songs are indeed a good choice.
Of course, there was another important factor that prompted the two to make a quick decision.
The headquarters of several other platforms are located in other cities such as Shangdu, Tiandu, Shenchuan and Wucheng.
Only the headquarters of Kuge is in Hanzhou, which means that if the two sign Kugou, they don't have to go around, which can save a lot of time and transportation costs.
Chen Feng nodded, "Then it's settled." ”
Zhong Lei said: "You still have to go to work, I'll talk about it." Once the negotiation is complete, you can come back and sign it. ”
Because the two people signed a private contract, such a commercial authorization needs to be signed by both parties to have legal benefits.
Chen Feng was not afraid that Zhong Lei would warp himself.
After the matter was discussed, they dispersed.
Zhong Lei said something that seemed to be true or false before going upstairs, which scared Chen Feng enough.
She first thanked Chen Feng for his trust in her.
Chen Feng said that this should be.
Then she seemed to be testing Chen Feng's details again, she really wanted to know why Chen Feng knew her so well.
Every lyric, every melody perfectly stepped on the softest point in her heart.
Chen Feng could only play haha and fool around.
Next, she actually said that she wanted to worship Chen Feng as a teacher!
Although she said it very awkwardly and tactfully, she just wanted to learn creative concepts from Chen Feng very seriously, but the meaning was that.
Chen Feng's face stiffened.
I can teach a ghost!
I have a ghost idea to teach you!
I rely purely on rote memorization, and I still memorize your own songs.
Creative talent or something, musical concept or something, it's completely zero, okay?
It is impossible to accept apprentices, and I don't have that ability in this life, so I can only be a porter and wait for death.
Zhong Lei was beaten back by Chen Feng's Tai Chi, and the procrastination formula took effect for the time being.
Chen Feng pondered afterwards that "Boring" was done like this, but "It's Late at Night" must not be sung to her again.
sang it to others, maybe Zhong Lei's feelings were not so deep, and she would not find out the clues, and mistakenly thought that she was her confidant or something.
If you give it to her again, it's really hard to guarantee that she won't fall into the trap.
Now Chen Feng really doesn't dare to soak in Zhong Lei.
He was afraid that the female version of Beethoven would be lost, and the sin would be too great and he would be punished.
In the next few days, Zhong Lei went to the Kuge headquarters again and again, negotiating and negotiating, and preparing for the signing of the contract.
Although the copyright of the songs included in Kuge is a bit hungry now, Zhong Lei and Chen Feng's foundation in the circle is too weak, and it is not so easy to get the ideal conditions, and they have to toss.
Chen Feng spent most of his time working in the guest apartment.
During this period of time, because he was obsessed with doing side hustles, he was absent from work for a long time, and he could touch the fish.
Many people in the company have already complained about him, Chen Feng can't lose this job for a while, and it's time to pretend a little.
However, he said that in the evening of that day, Chen Feng came out of the company's meeting, and when he took the elevator downstairs, he heard two employees of other companies chatting.
"Have you heard? He Jiaqi will hold a singing club at Lemei on Shaolin Road tonight. ”
"Really? Such a big wrist also holds a singing party at night? ”
"Isn't it? It's also a quasi-line. ”
"Are you going?"
"Of course!"
"But don't worry, I heard that Lemei spent a lot of money this time, and it just so happened that He Jiaqi had other things to do in Hanzhou, so it would be open for three days in a row. Sing at least five songs a day for an hour at a time. ”
Chen Feng suddenly became interested.
The opportunity to sell "It's Late at Night" has arrived.
