Chapter 48: Ask the Children's Choir to Record (Ask for Follow-up)
Leaving Tong Fei's office, Fang Xing followed the choreographer to the tutor's rest room of the training camp and met Liang Yusong.
Liang Yusong has a company in the East China Sea.
It was he who co-founded a record label with an old friend called Pinestone Records.
The scale of Songshi Records cannot be compared with that of a large company like Chaoyin Culture, but it is also a small reputation in the East China Sea.
Moreover, Songshi Records mainly makes music, and Chaoyin Culture, a company that operates idol artists, is not on the same track.
Liang Yusong is a veteran music producer who worked as a music director at Asia Pacific Records in his early years.
After coming out of Asia-Pacific Records, he co-founded Turquoise Records.
Because of the golden sign of Liang Yusong, Songshi Records also has several first-line and quasi-first-line singers.
Songshi Records and Feifan Entertainment have always cooperated.
This time, Liang Yusong looked at Tong Fei's face and came over to check the music content of "Tomorrow's Star".
……
After Fang Xing explained his intentions.
Liang Yusong immediately agreed: "This is not difficult, I know the person in charge of the Haining Children's Choir."
"However, primary school students have to attend classes, and live performances are unlikely, so they can only be invited to come and record."
"As long as I can record, I can do the rest myself." Fang Xing hurriedly agreed.
"Although the cost is not much, it still costs to ask a choir to record, are you going to do it yourself, or does the program team have a budget?" Liang Yusong made it clear in advance.
Hiring a children's choir to record is definitely much cheaper than hiring a celebrity, but two or three thousand yuan is still required.
Fang Xing is just a trainee, and he may not be able to get this money.
When Liang Yusong said this, he looked at the choreographer on the side.
The meaning is obvious, it is to help Fang wake up and push the bill to the program team.
The choreographer often encounters this situation, and replied: "I asked the program team for a budget, and this expenditure should be able to be placed in the stage budget." ”
As he spoke, the choreographer called the person in charge of the stage budget, and quickly applied for the budget.
Liang Yusong then asked, "When are you going to record it?" This can't be recorded in the program group, you have to go to my recording studio. ”
"Is it okay to start tomorrow? One day may not be enough. ”
There are only five days to rehearse, so the sooner the better.
"Tomorrow is a bit urgent, I can only try to arrange it. Do you have a sheet music, or a sample? Send it to me first, and I'll show it to the choir leader. I'll call you if I can arrange it tomorrow. Liang Yusong did not give a positive answer.
After all, you have to hire a children's choir, and you only have one day, so you may not be able to do it.
"I'm out today, and I'll send it to you by tonight. By the way, what about the expenses of using a recording studio? Fang Xing took a sip.
Liang Yusong smiled heartily: "I'll do you a favor this time, you have to remember to owe me a personal favor." ”
"Okay, if Mr. Liang needs it in the future, he will definitely help." Fang Xing hurriedly agreed.
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.
Fang Xing received a call from Liang Yusong.
"The Haining Choir likes your song very much, but the time is a bit tight, and the children in the choir only have two hours today. You come over first, record part of it today, and continue tomorrow if you don't finish recording. ”
"Okay, I'll go over here." Fang Xing hurriedly agreed.
Hanging up the phone, Fang Xing immediately took a taxi to Liang Yusong's company.
When I arrived at Songshi Records, the bus of Haining Children's Choir also arrived.
A group of schoolchildren got out of the bus with a chatter.
It is worthy of a children's choir, even if it is chirping and noisy, the sound feels very good, like a flock of orioles.
After a little girl found out that Fang woke up, she ran over, tilted her head and said, "I know you, on TV." My mom loves you a lot. ”
"Thank you." Fang Xing reached out and touched her head, there are already four songs out of the circle, so she already has a certain popularity.
The little girl hurriedly retracted her head and pouted: "Don't touch your head, it's up to you if you don't grow tall." ”
Liang Yusong personally came down to pick up people, and because the time was relatively tight, there was not too much politeness, so he went directly into the recording studio.
I was busy for more than two hours, at half past six.
When it was time for the choir children to go home, they followed the choir teacher and left by bus.
Fang Xing continued to be in the recording studio, mixing and adjusting in the later stage.
Liang Yusong stood aside, watching Fang Xing operate the recording equipment, his eyes full of surprise.
Originally, he was going to personally help Fang Xing do the mixing, but Fang Xing stopped this work.
……
The children of the Haining Children's Choir have a strong learning ability, but they still can't finish recording in one day.
The next day, Fang Xing went to Songshi Records again, recorded with the children of the Haining Choir for an afternoon, and finally completed the recording.
However, post-mixing is a bit more tedious.
Fang Xing was busy until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it was not over yet, but it was almost done.
Liang Yusong saw that the post-production work was done, and said: "Just leave the rest to the mixer, it's too late, I haven't eaten, right?" ”
"Isn't this too much of a hassle?"
Fang Xing felt that he couldn't help using the other party's recording studio for free, and it was better to finish the work he could do.
Liang Yusong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, go out with me for a drink." Tomorrow I have someone send you the finished master tape. ”
Fang Xing saw that he had said so, and if he didn't agree, it would be too unkind.
So, the two found a bar called Blues, ordered some fruit and wine, and chatted leisurely.
The ambience of the Blues Bar is quiet, perfect for killing time.
Liang Yusong picked up the wine glass, touched it with Fang Xing's cup, and said: "I'll drink a little, you just drink water, it's all about making music, understand this truth, there's nothing polite or impolite." ”
Drinking alcohol is not good for the voice, so singers who have a pursuit of their voice do not drink.
Liang Yusong drank some wine, became more and more talkative, and asked: "I originally thought you wanted to stand on the stage and be a singer, but watching your recording today, I feel that you can do it behind the scenes." Do you prefer to be on stage, or do you prefer to do behind the scenes? ”
Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Do it both in front of and behind the scenes, there should be no conflict between these two, right?" ”
Liang Yusong smiled and said, "Young people don't speak honestly, how many people who do behind the scenes want to be behind the scenes?" They can't be popular in front of the stage, and they are forced to do behind the scenes.
"However, your situation is different, you can do it in front of and behind the scenes, that's why I asked you that."
Fang Xing smiled: "I like to sing, and I also like to go behind the scenes. Making music behind the scenes is about recording your emotions. Singing in front of the stage is to sing the recorded emotions to the world. ”
Liang Yusong nodded after hearing this, and said, "I understand when you say that, that is an all-round musician." No wonder, you don't want to sign up for Chaoyin Culture. Your talent can't be brought into play in Chaoyin culture. ”
Chaoyin Culture operates idols, eats the fan economy, and finds production teams from other companies to OEM music.
The artists of Chaoyin culture are actually assembly line products.
It fires quickly, but it also gets out of gas quickly.
Therefore, entertainment companies like Chaoyin Culture will continue to look for new faces and push waves of small fresh meat to fans.
The reason why Fang Xing didn't want to sign a contract with Chaoyin Culture was that many people thought that the contract had not been negotiated.
Only Liang Yusong understood.
Fang Xing picked up the wine glass, touched the glass on Liang Yusong's table, and said, "I have to respect one of this, and replace the wine with water." ”
"Right? I'm right. ”
Liang Yusong laughed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Fang Xing put down the cup and glanced at the old musician.
After Liang Yusong put down the cup, he also glanced at Fang Xing.
The old and the young, both guessed what each other was thinking.
It's like looking at each other, which belongs to the appreciation between musicians, but no one wants to pierce this layer of window paper first.
