Chapter Ninety-Three: Buying Songs in Installments
The next day.
Chen Ming came to Xingyu Entertainment.
Today
He plans to solve Xu Chujing's new song.
"When Director Zheng came, he told him that I was in the recording studio."
"By the way, contact Miss Xu Chujing and ask her to come to the recording studio."
Chen Ming explained a few words to the front desk.
The young lady at the front desk wrote them down one by one.
After that,
Chen Ming was the first to come to the recording studio.
There is still no one in the studio today!
Chen Mingdu was used to it, so he sat on the sofa on one side and opened his laptop.
Ten minutes later,
Xu Chujing hurried over.
"Brother Chen, I'm late."
Xu Chujing stood on the side, not daring to sit.
Now Chen Ming's status in the company is second only to Zheng Rong, and the artists in all branches have heard about writing songs, and they are more interested in Chen Ming.
Qu Dad!
In the eyes of the branch artists, Chen Ming is the real Qu Dad.
Much better than music producers who are not in the company all year round!
More critically,
Chen Ming wrote a poem "The First Dream" to Xiao Xuan before.
In the end, he won the first place on the August New Song Chart.
This made all the artists in the branch agitated!
Rather than waiting for a few songs that the musicians in the company only write in a year, it is better to seize the opportunity that is readily available.
From yesterday to now,
Xu Chujing has already sent away a group of artists from the same company.
She believes,
Cheng Qiang and Yuan Keqing were in the same situation.
Chen Ming looked at the restrained Xu Chujing, and remembered Xiao Xuan at the beginning, Xiao Xuan's personality is very suitable for polishing in the music industry.
Xiao Xuan will not have stage fright, and will not be overly complimented because of Chen Ming's creative talent.
This is what Chen Ming admires most about Xiao Xuan.
In contrast,
Xu Chujing seemed too submissive.
Chen Ming sighed: "We are colleagues in the company, you don't have to be so nervous, relax." ”
Of course
This can't be too blamed on Xu Chujing.
Her status in the company is not as good as Xiao Xuan, so naturally she has to look at other people's faces in many aspects.
After a long time like this, I have developed my current character.
Chen Ming didn't say anything, but asked her to sit down first.
Xu Chujing cautiously did Chen Ming's side, and looked at Chen Ming's side face from time to time.
"Do you want water?"
Chen Ming asked.
He saw that Xu Chujing had been sweating, and seemed to be in a hurry to come over.
Xu Chujing hurriedly replied: "I'll come by myself." ”
Not only that,
Xu Chujing also poured Chen Ming a glass of boiled water by the way.
After a brief rest,
Chen Ming began to introduce the content of the new song.
"The new song I wrote for you is called "Courage"."
The title of the song is very ordinary.
But Xu Chujing instantly became serious.
The composer of the song "Courage" is a singer everyone is familiar with, Mitsura.
This song is also the first solo single with a full version of the original sound created for Liang Jingru after Guangliang flew solo.
Chen Ming intends to follow Guangliang's example.
When Guangliang created this song, he sang along throughout the whole process, and it would be modified in time according to Liang Jingru's voice characteristics.
Chen Ming felt that he could give it a try.
He has been trained in professional courses at Yuncheng University for a while, so he now has a certain understanding of music.
As a healing love song,
Liang Jingru was planning to start a new relationship at that time.
So there is very little sad emotion in her singing, and every line is full of hope and longing for future love.
This,
Xu Chujing shouldn't be able to do it.
"The set vocal range for this song is A-D3."
"You can try to raise the major on a 2/4 beat."
"There is no real or false sound in the whole song, only the climax may be slightly raised, and it is not a big problem to control it perfectly with your voice."
Every time Chen Ming said a word, Xu Chujing nodded seriously.
A few minutes later,
Chen Ming took a sip of water and asked, "Do you still have any questions?" ”
"Nope."
Xu Chujing shook her head for the first time.
Chen Ming nodded: "Then let's listen to the song sample now." ”
"I'm basically done with the lyrics and composition, but in terms of composing, I need to think about it again and see which instruments are better to incorporate."
Xu Chujing nodded again.
Chen Ming clicks on the audio file on his laptop.
The guitar sounds melodiously.
originally
The attack of the song is piano.
However, when Chen Ming records song samples, he usually only uses a guitar.
A song ends.
Chen Ming asked, "How do you feel?" ”
The studio was quiet.
Chen Ming frowned slightly, he found that Xu Chujing was distracted.
In desperation,
Chen Ming could only pat Xu Chujing's shoulder.
Moment
Xu Chujing came back to her senses, her whole face was embarrassed and red, like a ripe apple: "I'm sorry, I walked for a while." ”
Chen Ming said softly, "Do you need to listen to it again?" ”
At this very moment,
The door to the recording studio was pushed open.
Zheng Rong strode in, sat beside Chen Ming very familiarly, and asked excitedly, "The new song has been written?" ”
"It's probably out, I'll think about the details later."
Chen Ming replied with a smile.
Without waiting for Xu Chujing to speak, Zheng Rong looked very expectant.
"Is there a song sample? I'll listen. ”
Chen Ming clicked play again.
This time
Xu Chujing listened very carefully!
A few minutes later,
The song slowly stops.
Chen Ming then spoke: "The overall melody will not change, you can practice more in the next period." ”
"Ask me if there's anything I don't understand."
Wen Yan,
Xu Chujing nodded like pounding garlic.
Brother Chen's original, it must be a boutique!
This "Courage" continues Chen Ming's high-quality creative style as always, and is even slightly better than the previous "First Dream".
But because of this,
Xu Chujing was distracted just now.
She was afraid that the song would be too expensive, and she couldn't afford it in installments.......
In fact
She also has another option, which is to sell the house that Chen Ming is renting now to Chen Ming.
But she felt that Chen Ming might not be able to look down on her.
Thinking of this,
Xu Chujing pinched the corners of her skirt and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, how much is this song?" ”
"I want to ..... Buy in installments. ”
Buying songs,
There is no opposition or support within the company.
In terms of cost, the artist needs to negotiate with the creator himself, and when the song is finally released, the production company must be marked as the artist's company.
This is an overlord treaty!
But this is the default unspoken rule in the circle, and it is not a shameless behavior.
Even a little diva like Xiao Xuan needed to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy "The First Dream" from Chen Ming, and it was marked with Xingyu Entertainment when it was released.
Chen Ming was not surprised at all.
This is something that I had agreed with Xu Chujing before.
What Chen Ming needs to consider is, how much should this song be charged?
before
Chen Ming wrote a song for Xiao Xuan, but only symbolically received 400,000 yuan.
But the quality of this song is still above "The First Dream", and he and Xu Chujing have little to do with it in private.
The asking price was low, and Chen Ming felt uncomfortable;
The asking price is high, and I seem to take advantage of others.
Time
Chen Ming was very entangled.
On the other side, Zheng Rong was stunned.
He has been in this industry for so many years, and it is the first time he has heard that buying songs can be paid in installments.......
