The tide sound cultural idol group SPK released a new song and topped the hot song list.

It's nothing, it's the top of the hot song list, and it always has to be replaced.

It's just that after SPK's new song "Sexy" topped the hot song list, various announcements flew all over Weibo and self-media.

The content is basically the following: ["Sexy" defeated "Nocturne" and topped the hot song list. 】

When Fang Xing saw these circulars, he was all angry.

"Nocturne" has dominated the list for four weeks, and it is normal to be off the list.

However, SPK uses this for propaganda.

Moreover, it is difficult to refute him.

Because, now the position of "Sexy" on the hot song list is indeed on "Nocturne".

These circulars, at first glance, were bought by Chaoyin Culture.

It's okay to promote a new song, but you have to step on the opponent, which makes people very unhappy.

However, stepping has always been a common operation method in the fan circle.

Even if it is touching porcelain, as long as the topic is pulled up and the fans on both sides quarrel, won't the traffic come?

……

Since the end of the finals of "Rising Star", Fang Xing moved out of the training camp and temporarily lived in the hotel where Songshi Records had been booked for a long time, which was very close to Songshi Records.

So, you can walk to the company outside the door.

Fang Xing pushed open the door of Liang Yusong's office, and said with a straight face: "I changed my mind, I want to get him." ”

Liang Yusong suddenly showed an interested smile on his face, and said: "On the night of the celebration banquet, I also asked if you wanted to compete with SPK, and you also said that you can't always be competitive and vindictive, why did you change your mind so quickly?" It's not enough to cultivate it. ”

"You just don't do it." Fang Xing urged.

"Hehe......"

Liang Yusong smiled, looking very easy-going: "The scale of Chaoyin Culture's company is larger than that of Songshi, and He Hongtu has no less music in front of me."

"If you don't want to do it, forget it, if you want to do it, then what else is there to say.

"However, there is another job that I want you to try.

"You also know that the company always wants to make money, and you refuse to accept commercial performances, which is too loser.

"After the talent show ended, it was three months hot.

"If you refuse to take on the commercial show, I have to arrange some work for you."

Of course, Fang Xing didn't take any work, but selectively took on work.

"What job?"

"It's the producer's job, Jade Bird Media, a movie created with a lot of money, is in the late stage of production, preparing for the National Day release, and now I'm looking for someone to write the theme song."

Liang Yusong said, pushed a document in front of Fang Xing, and continued: "The price of the Blue Bird is quite high. However, the requirements are also high.

After all, this movie is the highlight of Jade Bird Media this year, and all the actors invited are not low.

"The company sent two samples, and they were both returned.

"I heard that the companies of Puxiang Records also wanted to take this order, but it was similar to our situation, and the samples sent over were all returned.

"Not only are the requirements on the Blue Bird's side high, but they also need the songs to fit the story of their movie.

"Therefore, it is not easy to find the right one in the company's inventory.

"I also asked the lyricist to change the lyrics and try to fit the story of the movie as much as possible, but it still didn't satisfy them.

"I've heard you sing ten songs in "Tomorrow's Star", and I feel more and more that you kid's stock should still be there.

"You look at the synopsis of this movie and see if you can write a theme song.

"If you can take this order, this time the producer will share it, and I can give you an extra 10%."

Fang Xing smiled: "There is such a good thing? ”

Although Fang Xing's popularity is very high now, he has not been on the hot search all summer.

However, participating in "Rising Star" can't get much money.

Because before participating in the show, he was just an unknown Dongyin student.

soared in the program, but the program team will not increase the announcement fee because of this.

Only the insert advertisements in the second half of the show can get the advertiser's big red envelope.

Originally, taking advantage of the popularity of the show, you can make a lot of money by taking on more commercial performances.

But Fang Xing said at the beginning that he would not take on commercial performances randomly.

caused the show to end, and Fang Xing still seemed to be very short of money.

Therefore, when I saw the budget for the purchase of the theme song of Jade Bird Media, my eyes lit up.

According to the 50% score of the lyrics and songs, not counting the subsequent income of the song, you can get seven figures for the purchase budget of this theme song.

Liang Yusong reminded: "Don't be too happy too early, Jade Bird Media is very demanding. Moreover, this is only the budget for buying the theme song, the budget is not the final price, and it depends on whether they are satisfied with the song. ”

"I know."

Fang Xing lowered his head and continued to read this information, and read out the synopsis of the story: "The story of the movie is adapted from the story of the ghost painting skin of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", this life seems to be a bit easy......"

The history of the world before the 19th century was basically the same as that of the earth.

"Strange Tales from Liaozhai" began in the Qing Dynasty, so this world also has it.

Developing ancient works into IP is something that many entertainment companies are doing.

Liang Yusong frowned and asked, "What's the matter, you have it again?" ”

"What do you mean again?"

Fang Xing glanced at him and said, "I have a little idea." However, it is too troublesome to prepare two songs, so it is better to combine them into one. Let's use this movie theme song to snipe at the tide sound culture. ”

Liang Yusong didn't understand it for a while, and said suspiciously: "There may be something you don't understand, this song is going to be the theme song for Jade Bird Media, how to use it, when to use it, it's up to Jade Bird Media to decide." ”

"It's something that can be discussed. Anyway, I have to set the lyrics and singing of this song, and the release time will try to follow our plan. Fang Xing was very insistent on this.

Liang Yusong shook his head and said, "Sure enough, you are still young, you may not have figured it out, Jade Bird Media is Party A, and we are Party B." They offer such a high price because they want us to cooperate with them. ”

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Let's record a sample for them first, maybe they are willing to listen to Party B?" Of course, it may be that they don't like it. ”

It's entirely possible.

Although this Jade Bird Media is developing the IP of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", it has made the story of the ghost painting skin into a movie.

However, no one knows what kind of taste Jade Bird Media will have, and whether they can see this song or not.

"Yes, then record a sample for them first, if they are interested, then talk about it, if they don't like it, then forget it." Liang Yusong felt that the sample had not been recorded now, and it was too early to consider the things that were favored by Jade Bird Media.

"Then I'll go back to arranging the music." Fang Xing said and prepared to get up and leave.

Liang Yusong added: "Try to do a good job, what kind of company is Jade Bird Media, you should also know that if a large company in the film industry can cooperate with Jade Bird Media, it will be beneficial to you and the company." ”

"I'll do my best."

Fang Xing said that he went back to the hotel and began to compose and arrange.

……

Meanwhile.

Jade Bird Media Headquarters.

The company is in full swing for the National Day film production post.

The post-production work has been going on for five months, and there are still two months to go before the scheduled release.

Time is a bit tight, so the staff of Jade Bird Media are very busy.

The soundtrack team invited by Jade Bird Media has basically done a good job of the soundtrack of the movie, except for the lack of a theme song.

Originally, it was planned to release the theme song in the second trailer.

However, the National Day file is getting closer and closer, but the theme song I want has not been found.

The producer and director of this project also had a quarrel because of this incident.

The producer felt that he should choose one of the more than a dozen samples received as the theme song.

The director disagreed.

The director has very high requirements for the film, and he did music work in his early years, so the requirements for the theme song are higher than those of ordinary film directors.

in the conference room.

Producer Luo Yuheng knocked on the table and said: "Now the time is very tight, we must come up with the second trailer as soon as possible to promote the release of the National Day file, don't delay it any longer." Among the twelve samples I have received now, there are good ones, and you can choose one from them. ”

Often, in a film project, the producer is the one who speaks.

Of course, the director also has a lot of say.

Therefore, between the producer and the director, there are often quarrels.

However, when these two identities quarrel, it is usually because of money.

The producer is in charge of the money, and the director is only in charge of making the movie well.

However, making movies is very expensive, and the bigger the scene, the more money is burned.

In order to shoot big scenes, the director naturally burned money desperately.

That's where the role of the producer comes in.

The investment in the film is limited, and if the director is allowed to burn money, the budget will definitely not be enough, and there may be no money halfway through the filming.

So, producers and directors will often fight over money.

But this time is different, the reason why the producer and the director quarrel is not because of money, but because of the song.

Director Xue Tao was not satisfied with the sample of the theme song he received, and wanted to find a song that was more in line with the theme of the movie.

However, Jade Bird Media has begun to promote the film and is preparing to release it on the National Day.

At this time, the theme song has not been set for a long time, which will definitely affect the promotion of the movie.

Producer Luo Yuheng said in a deep voice: "No matter, anyway, I have the final say on this project." If you're not sure about choosing, then I'll choose one, and "Starless Night" sent by Fenglin Records is very good. ”

Director Xue Tao exhaled and said, "Whatever you want, you do have the final say on the project, but I don't agree with this song." If you have to use this one, then you can use it. When the reporter asked me later, I also said that I disagreed. ”

Luo Yuheng shook his head and said: "This is not good for movie promotion, the producer and director have contradictions, which will make the audience suspect that the movie is a bad movie." ”

Xue Taopi smiled and said, "Which producer and director have you ever seen who doesn't have contradictions?" ”

Luo Yuheng pondered for a moment and said, "Then give you another three days, after three days, the theme song must be set, and we will record it for post-production, we have no time." ”

Xue Tao did not agree, but remained silent.

Because he simply doesn't know when he's going to come across a satisfying song.

……

Wednesday morning.

Fang Xing recorded a sample in the recording studio of Songshi Records.

Recording in the studio is a female singer signed by Songshi Records last year, and she has not released a song yet.

In fact, not every singer has the opportunity to release an album.

Even many singers, from their debut to their retirement from the circle, did not have a single song.

For newcomers like this, at the beginning of their work, they are all samples.

Fang Xing finished the score and arranged it yesterday.

However, this song is a female song, and male singing doesn't feel that way at all, so I also have to find a female singer to sing it.

Turquoise Records naturally has singers who sing samples.

However, Fang Xing listened to her sing three times, and was not satisfied, shook his head, looked at the recording engineer on the side, and said, "Are there any other female singers in the company who can record samples?" ”

The sound engineer shook his head with a helpless expression.

The singer who recorded the sample was a newcomer, and when he heard that Fang Xing was not satisfied, he was a little sad, and took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang Xing, I didn't sing well." ”

"It's not your problem, this song is really not good to sing, you can see that you tried your best." Fang Xing didn't blame her.

Fang Xing took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, slid a few times, clicked on Li Caiwei's WeChat, and sent a message: Can you help record a sample?

Usually, the work of recording samples does not require quasi-first-line singers.

However, Li Caiwei still replied quickly: Of course you can, when will you record it?

Fang Xing: Now, the company's recording studio.

Li Caiwei: Wait for me for five minutes.

It didn't take long for Li Caiwei to push open the door of the recording studio and walk in, obviously she was in the company today.

When the little singer saw Li Caiwei coming in, she hurriedly greeted: "Sister Caiwei." ”

"Hello." Li Caiwei responded with a smile.

Fang Xing handed over the score and said, "The tone is a little high, I can only look for you." ”

Li Caiwei swayed up and down with the stave in one hand and the other hand with the stave, gently humming the tune of the song.

Halfway through the hum, her eyes were glowing.

Without waiting for the humming to finish, she pressed the score on her chest, looked at Fang Xing with a smile, and asked, "Or this song will let me sing it well, I can just grasp this pitch, okay?" ”

Fang Xing waved his hand and said, "This ...... I asked Mr. Liang before, your current price is a bit high. ”

Li Caiwei was originally a quasi-first-line singer, although her career was tepid because of some things before, but her strength is there, and the price of singing film and television theme songs will not be too low.

This time, because "Red Ling" became popular, the price has increased several times.

According to the quotation given by Songshi Records to the outside, Li Caiwei is now singing a film and television theme song, and the price is seven figures.

Of course, this is the price of a buyout, and there is no subsequent share.

Fang Xing took this job, mainly to make some money.

According to the producer's contract, the lyrics and songs are divided into 50% in total, and if you get too much singing, there will be not much left for Fang to wake up.

Li Caiwei grabbed the score and said with a smile: "What stupid thing are you talking about?" I don't participate in the sharing of this song, and I don't want money, or just give a symbolic little bit. ”

Fang Xing frowned and said, "So easy to speak? ”

Li Caiwei nodded and said: "I only hummed half of the score, I knew that this song would be popular, and if I could sing it, I would be satisfied." ”

Fang Xing did not agree immediately, but said: "This song is the theme song of the movie for Jade Bird Media." However, I don't know if Jade Bird Media will take a fancy to it. At that time, who will sing may still need to communicate with Jade Bird Media. ”

After listening to the explanation, Li Caiwei nodded and said, "So that's the case." However, I do like this song, and I can sing it at this pitch. If so, think more about me? Free for you to be a singing machine. ”

"Okay, I'll try to get it for you." Fang Xing said.

"Alright, let's start recording."

Li Caiwei walked into the recording studio as she spoke, and after trying it a few times, she officially began to sing along with the lyrics.

Her musical skills are really good, she can hum the score with it, and after trying it a few times, she can sing it completely.

Although it is not yet perfect, it is good enough to be able to record a sample to this extent.

Fang Xing listened to it again, felt that this sample was already okay, turned his head to the recording engineer and said, "The last one is very good, you do a mix, and leave it to Mr. Liang." ”

"Okay, no problem, it can be done today." The sound engineer made an OK gesture.

Li Caiwei came out of the recording studio and asked, "How is it?" Can the sample of the quasi-first-line recording satisfy Mr. Fang? ”

Fang Xing gave a thumbs up and praised: "A first-line level sample." ”

Li Caiwei smiled generously: "Remember our agreement, I can be a free singing machine for this song." ”

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Fang Xing nodded and agreed.

Of course, Li Caiwei sings this song for free, and it is not without any benefits.

If this song becomes popular, it will naturally bring the singer away.

Secondly, Li Caiwei can at least get the right to sing this song, which can be used for commercial performances.

The right to sing must be given, otherwise it would be too much.

……

The next day.

Jade Bird Media Headquarters, Ghost Painting Project Office.

In the past few days, Xue Tao, the director of this project, has been repeating the twelve samples he received before.

He also knew that the time was tight, and he also wanted to set the theme song of the movie as soon as possible.

So, he listened to it again and again, hoping to choose one of them that was barely usable, and then put forward some opinions for the record company to revise according to the opinions.

It's just that when I listen to it, I always feel that these songs are just so meaningful.

Moreover, some of the lyrics of these samples are a bit abrupt.

The reason for this is simple.

Because of these songs, these record companies pick them out of stock and then modify them according to the story of the film.

The main change is the lyrics.

Since it's just a sample, the changes aren't very detailed, so it sounds a bit abrupt in some places.

If it's another director, maybe just choose a song and finish it.

However, when Xue Tao first entered the industry, he did soundtrack work, and he had relatively high requirements for music, so he always wanted to find a song that met his expectations.

At this time.

The assistant pushed the door in, holding three CDs in his hand, and said, "Boss, I received three more samples, sent by Puxiang Records and Songshi Records, do you want to listen to them?" ”

Xue Tao was not in a high mood, waved his hand and said, "Let it go." ”

He had been listening to it for a day, and although he was not interested, he didn't mind listening to a few more.

The assistant puts the disc into the machine and starts playing music.

The prelude of the first song echoed in the office, and the melody of the prelude was okay, but after listening to the first sentence, Xue Tao waved his hand and said, "This one is not good, it's not as good as the previous one." ”

The assistant continues to play the next song, and the result is the same as the first one.

Xue Tao was a little excited, stood up and prepared to wash his face and wake up.

Just then, the assistant played the third song.

The song began to hum la-la-la, which immediately pulled him back from his raised steps.

He stood in place, listened to the chorus with his back to the music, and asked excitedly, "Which record company is this song from?" ”
