"This one is...... Turquoise Records sent me. ”

Hearing Xue Tao's question, the assistant hurriedly flipped out the records on his mobile phone.

The music is still playing, when the dolphin notes of the interlude passage appear.

Xue Tao got goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly said, "Quick! Contact Mr. Luo, call Songshi Records, and say that the producer of this song is invited to come over to discuss cooperation. By the way, what is this song called? ”

"Well, it's called ...... "Painting the Heart".

Because Xue Tao has done soundtrack work before, he can even hear that the level of this sample is higher than the industry average.

Assist hurried out to inform the producers of this film project, and then called Turquoise Records.

These days, because of the movie theme song thing.

Producer Luo Yuheng and director Xue Tao don't know how many times they have quarreled.

Luo Yuheng is a very hard worker, and when he was a producer, he sometimes lived in the office.

When I heard what the assistant conveyed, I immediately rushed over.

"I heard from the assistant just now, and finally there is a sample that you are satisfied with?"

There is no need for Xue Tao to answer, because in the conference room, a sample of "Painting Heart" is still playing.

Luo Yuheng stood and listened for a while, and said, "This song is really good, and the charm is also very in line with our movie story." ”

She commented, but did not make a decision immediately, and continued to listen quietly.

After all, it is to choose the theme song for a special effects blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and it is not sloppy at all.

The song is a little bit long, more than seven minutes long.

After the song was played, Luo Yuheng looked at Xue Tao and asked, "You should be satisfied with this song, right?" ”

Although the two often quarrel because of their positions, they have been working together for almost a year.

Therefore, Luo Yuheng still knows Xue Tao very well, and knows that what he wants is this kind of song.

"This song is good, immediately settle down with Songshi Records, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money, hurry up and find someone to record the song." Xue Tao urged.

Since the project funds are managed by the producer, Luo Yuheng finally has to agree to spend money.

"Okay, as long as you like this song, I'll arrange for someone to talk to Songshi Records about the rest." Luo Yuheng was not as anxious as Xue Tao.

Anyway, the song is there, just talk about it according to the process.

Luo Yuheng thought for a while, and in view of the director's high requirements, he asked again: "Do you have any ideas about the singer?" ”

"If you can sing the dolphin sound of this song, I don't care who you choose. Of course, you can't choose too bad, the little singer of this song is estimated to be unable to take it. Xue Tao replied.

"Okay, wait for the people from Songshi Records to come, and then discuss with them." Luo Yuheng just asked Xue Tao's opinion first, and he didn't want to decide on a candidate immediately.

For film and television songs like this, there is no necessary connection between the singer who sings the sample and the singer who sings the song at the end.

To put it bluntly, the sample is a trial pack.

To give a singing sample, it is to record a trial version, give it to Party A who can't understand the score, and let Party A listen to the melody of the song.

As a result, record companies often let the young singers in the company sing demos.

After all, how embarrassing is it to let a famous singer sing a sample, and when it is time to officially record, change to another singer to sing?

……

This afternoon.

Fang Xing is recording the Cantonese version of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement".

In fact, the Cantonese version of Mr. Lin Zixiang's "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is more momentum and stronger.

In terms of singing, Lin Zixiang is simply terrifyingly strong, and his real voice is C5, so strong that he is not like a person.

However, the Cantonese version will still have certain limitations in terms of audience due to language relations.

It is also for this reason that Fang Xing chose to use the Mandarin version in the finals of "Rising Star".

Later, in the comment stage, in order to canvass for votes, Liang Yusong promised that as long as Fang Xing won the championship, he would take out the Cantonese version of "Men as Self-improvement" as a thank you gift and give back to the audience for free.

Therefore, Fang Xing is now recording the Cantonese version of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", but he still can't earn a penny.

Fang Xing can be said to be the poorest top stream at present, with empty traffic and no money.

Of course, after singing so many songs, it's not that you can't earn a penny.

For example, other singers have to pay for covering ten songs from "Rising Star".

"Rising Star" broadcasts these ten songs, and Feifan Entertainment owns the live copyright of these ten songs.

In other words, Feifan Entertainment can use the live version of these ten songs to its heart's content, but it cannot be adapted or other operations.

The copyright of these ten songs is in Fang Xing's hands.

If there is a singer who wants to cover these ten songs, it is useless to find Fei Fan Entertainment, you must find Fang Xing.

Of course, Fang Xing will not take care of these matters personally, but will be in charge of the agent Qiao Yinghong.

Besides.

The sales figures of "Nocturne" and "Wild Birds" are very good, and naturally they make a lot of money.

However, this money is not bought by the audience, and it will be in Fang Xing's hands immediately.

After the major music platforms sell songs, there will be a payment period, a short of three months, and a long half a year.

After the money from the sale of the song reaches the account of Songshi Records, Songshi Records will settle according to the proportion of shares.

Therefore, if Fang Xing wants to get the money for "Nocturne" and "Wild Bird", it will be at least three months later.

The Cantonese version of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" was recorded at about the same time.

Liang Yusong walked into the recording studio, stood outside the glass wall, and asked the recording engineer first: "How was the recording?" ”

The recording engineer gave a thumbs up and said, "Teacher Fang's vocal skills are too outrageous, it's no problem to go over it once, but it feels like I'm lazy, so I recorded it a few more times." ”

Liang Yusong gave a thumbs up through the glass wall and gestured to the recording studio.

Fang Xing took off his headphones, came out of the shed, and asked, "Something?" ”

"Jade Bird Media called and said that we should come over at three o'clock in the afternoon to talk about the theme song." Liang Yusong said this directly.

"So fast? Didn't you just hand it over this morning? ”

Fang Xing didn't expect the result to come so soon, usually this kind of film and television drama invitation to sing, back and forth for several months.

"Jade Bird Media didn't say whether it was our song or not. However, since we were asked to go over and talk, it was at least intentional. ”

Jade Bird Media didn't say that much detail on the phone, so Liang Yusong didn't know the progress.

"I've recorded it here, so let's go now." Fang Xing looked at the time, it was 2:20, and it was just right to go to Jade Bird Media now.

……

After cleaning up a little, Fang Xing and Liang Yusong took the company's business car and went to Jade Bird Media.

Jade Bird Media is a well-known company in the film and television industry, and has released many movies with a box office of more than 100 million.

Don't look at the Spring Festival and National Day files every year, there are often billions or billions of box office movies.

But in fact, the film industry is not that easy to mix.

Every year, less than one-tenth of the movies made in China can be released in theaters.

After having an online platform, it has given a lot of low-budget movies the opportunity to be broadcast online.

However, there are not as many film companies that can really make money as they appear on the surface.

Therefore, a company that can produce a box office movie that breaks 100 million in one or two years is already very famous in the industry.

The film project prepared by Jade Bird Media for the National Day file this time, with an investment of 150 million, is a big production.

It is also for this reason that the requirements for every detail are very high, and the theme song is naturally the top priority.

At 2:50 p.m.

Fang Xing, Liang Yusong, and Qiao Yinghong went to Jade Bird Media.

Luo Yuheng personally came out to greet him and warmly brought the three of them to the conference room.

However, when he arrived at the conference room, Fang Xing found that there was another group of people in the conference room.

When Liang Yusong saw the group of people who arrived first, he immediately smiled and shook hands and greeted: "Mr. Xu, long time no see." Come on, Fang Xing, let me introduce you, this is Xu Liren, the music director of Puxiang Records, Mr. Xu, come and get to know him. ”

Fang Xing stepped forward and shook hands with Xu Liren: "Hello." ”

Xu Liren grabbed Fang Xing's hand, looked up and down a few times, and praised: "Young man, in the past few months, I can hear your name every day, like thunder." ”

"Mr. Xu has won the award." Fang Xing responded with a smile and behaved appropriately.

"I'm very interested in the few songs you sang in the show, and I have the opportunity to work together, and the divas of our company like your songs very much." Xu Liren said, stuffing the two business cards into Fang Xing's chest pocket.

Liang Yusong hurriedly pulled Fang Xing back to his side, and said with a smile: "Fang Xing has taken on a lot of work now, when the work in hand is done, he will definitely come to visit." ”

After he finished greeting, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, did Puxiang also come to talk about the theme song of the movie?" ”

Luo Yuheng nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to talk about the theme song of the movie." ”

"That's ......"

Liang Yusong glanced at Xue Tao in the seat and said, "Then it's not a coincidence that we came at the same time, are you done talking?" Why don't I go out and wait for a while? ”

Luo Yuheng beckoned and said, "No, sit down and talk together." We are more interested in the demos sent by the two companies, so we plan to choose one from them to be the theme song of the National Day movie.

"Time is tight, so I won't talk about them one by one, and set the songs as soon as possible."

Liang Yusong heard what the producer of Jade Bird Media said, so he pulled out a chair and sat down.

After everyone sat down, Xue Tao sat up straight, looked at Songshi Records, and asked, "Who is the producer of "Painting Heart"?" ”

Liang Yusong gestured to Fang Xing next to him: "Fang Xing is the producer. Of course, I will also check the quality of the songs, so I don't have to worry about the quality of the songs. ”

The façade of Songshi Records has always been Liang Yusong.

Many companies come to Songshi Records for cooperation, all under the name of Liang Yusong.

Therefore, if the producer of the songs provided by Songshi Records is a newcomer, it may be a lack of confidence for Party A.

That's why Liang Yusong added that sentence: "I will also check it." ”

But in fact, he knows very well that the songs produced by Fang Xing do not need to be checked by him at all.

However, this is clear to him, but Blue Bird Media is not clear.

Xue Tao began to look at Fang Xing again, his eyes full of curiosity: "It's a little young." ”

He didn't know Fang Xing, even if Fang Xing was popular all over the Internet three months ago, he couldn't stand that he had been busy with the late stage of the movie and had no time to watch the show.

Liang Yusong has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and when he heard it, he knew that Xue Tao didn't recognize Fang Xing, and said with a smile: "It's quite young, maybe Director Xue hasn't seen a real person." However, have you heard the songs "The Lonely Brave" and "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" recently? ”

Xue Tao raised his eyebrows, looked at the assistant on the side, and asked, "Do you have a mobile phone that fights all day long?" Battle! "Did he sing it?"

The assistant nodded hurriedly and replied in a low voice in Xue Tao's ear: "Yes, he is Fang Xing, who sang ten songs in "Tomorrow's Star", which became popular all over the Internet. "Nocturne" dominated the music charts for four weeks, and was only topped by SPK's new song two days ago. ”

Although Xue Tao usually reads few online platforms such as Weibo, he is not a primitive person.

He really doesn't watch talent shows like "Tomorrow's Star", but he still knows about music lists like the Music Billboard.

The music billboard dominated the charts for four weeks, and this achievement has a high gold content.

Therefore, Xue Tao looked at each other when he heard the other party wake up, and said, "If that's the case, "Painting Heart" can be handed over to you to produce. ”

Hear this.

The expressions of several people next to him suddenly became wrong.

Before we even started talking, the song was set?

Luo Yuheng hurriedly interjected: "Director Xue, wait a minute, we still have to consider Puxiang's "Starless Night". ”

Xu Liren, the music director of Puxiang, smiled and said, "Mr. Luo doesn't need to explain, it seems that Director Xue has taken a fancy to Songshi's song." ”

He has also been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he can't see it.

Jade Bird Media called them over, obviously not interested in songs, but using them as tools to crush the price of turquoise.

However, Xue Tao's personality is not such a sophisticated person, and he likes "Painting Heart" because he likes it, and he doesn't want to talk about other songs.

Luo Yuheng was a little embarrassed and explained: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, this time I actually want Puxiang and Songshi to cooperate, hoping to let the queen Qi Xiuna sing this theme song." ”

In the record industry, Puxiang Records is larger than Songshi Records.

One of the reasons is that Puxiang Records has a diva Qi Xiuna.

Jade Bird Media selected the theme song for the big production of the National Day file, naturally hoping to invite a diva to sing it.

In this way, in the publicity stage, you can also use the popularity of the diva to improve the publicity effect.

When Xu Liren heard this proposal, he was interested.

If Qi Xiuna, the queen of the general elephant, is allowed to sing, then there are more places to negotiate.

Even Puxiang can consider paying together with Jade Bird Media to buy out "Painting Heart" directly and produce and distribute it in Puxiang Records.

This situation is very common in the entertainment industry.

Because Jade Bird Media is Party A, under normal circumstances, Party B will do what Party A says.

Fang Xing didn't want to be like this, and said politely: "I'm sorry, I still hope that I will decide the singer for this song." ”

Luo Yuheng was a little surprised, frowned and said, "That blue bird bought this song." ”

Fang Xing frowned, thought for a moment before saying, "Forget it, you guys think about other songs, I still want to make my own decisions about this song." ”

Luo Yuheng didn't expect this young man to have such a tough attitude.

Normally.

A new music producer like Fang Xing has the opportunity to produce the theme song of a movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and he should be respectful.

Liang Yusong saw that Fang Xing's attitude was too tough, and he was worried that things would collapse, so he hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said, "Don't worry, let's discuss a cooperation plan again." ”

Luo Yuheng and Liang Yusong have dealt with each other, so he naturally gave a little more face, thought about it for a while and said: "We hope that the theme song will be sung by Qi Xiuna, and it will be recorded as soon as possible and put in the second trailer." ”

Liang Yusong turned his head and glanced at Xu Liren, and said: "Otherwise, we will make the song with Songshi Records, and invite Qi Xiuna to sing, is this plan okay?" ”

Xu Liren was actually not satisfied with this plan.

From his point of view, of course, he hopes that the theme song of the movie will be released by their company.

Jade Bird Media doesn't think so, as long as Qi Xiuna sings it as the theme song of the movie.

Fang Xing interjected: "I originally hoped to choose a singer by myself, if Jade Bird wants to set a singer, it can also be." The singer does not participate in the sharing of the income of the song. ”

Say this.

Luo Yuheng and Xu Liren's eyes widened at the same time.

Luo Yuheng felt a little funny: "Mr. Liang, this newcomer you signed is a bit powerful." ”

Of course, the "awesome" in her words does not really mean praise.

Liang Yusong happily played the round: "The newborn calf is a little arrogant, Mr. Luo doesn't need to worry, let's talk slowly." ”

Luo Yuheng shook his head and smiled, looked at Fang Xing, and asked, "Young man, can you call the shots?" Would you like to ask your boss first? ”

Liang Yusong understood Fang Xing's temper too well, and replied helplessly: "He can." ”

Luo Yuheng showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect Liang Yusong to indulge this young man so much.

She frowned, turned to Xu Liren of Puxiang Records, and asked, "What about Mr. Xu?" What is the opinion? ”

Xu Liren leaned back in the swivel chair, pressed his fingers to his temples, thought for a moment, and said: "If the song is made in Songshi, then we can only talk about it according to the market price, and Qi Xiuna's minimum standard is that the song is divided into 20%. ”

This price is the price announced by Puxiang.

Of course, it doesn't mean that whoever asks Qi Xiuna to sing the theme song will have to pay this price.

If it is to return the favor, or if a friend brushes his face to ask her for help, there will be another friendship price.

However, the price announced to the public is 20% share.

Fang Xing thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, I've actually talked about a singer, if you use the singer I set, you don't need extra money from Jade Bird Media." ”

Luo Yuheng frowned and asked, "Which singer?" ”

"That's what I did." Fang Xing replied.

When Xue Tao heard this, he directly agreed: "Yes, the level of the sample is very high, and the official version will pick out the details again, and it will be decided." ”

Luo Yuheng's expression fell, and he turned his head to look at Xue Tao.

The two have been arguing about the movie for almost a year.

Xue Tao said directly: "Anyway, I agree with this opinion, the singer who sang the sample." If Mr. Luo is not satisfied, you can do it yourself. ”

Luo Yuheng knew Xue Tao's temper very well, sighed and asked, "Who is the singer who sings the sample?" ”

"Li Caiwei." Fang Xing replied.

Li Caiwei is a quasi-first-line singer, of course Luo Yuheng has heard of it.

It's just that in recent years, Li Caiwei has rarely appeared on the show, so it makes people feel outdated.

However, as a quasi-first-line singer, Li Caiwei's singing skills are still okay.

Luo Yuheng looked at Xue Tao and asked, "Are you sure you want to use Li Caiwei?" ”

Xue Tao replied very simply: "I knew after listening to the sample that she could sing well, and I also hope that Mr. Luo will not be a layman to command an insider." If Mr. Luo has to intervene, then I will also show my attitude, I want this song, how to buy it is up to you. ”

That's not at all polite.

Luo Yuheng has long been used to it, but he is not angry, he looked at Xu Liren and said, "Director Xue has decided Li Caiwei, I'm really embarrassed, why don't you have a chance to talk next time?" ”

"Then we will work together next time."

Xu Liren stood up, shook hands with Luo Yuheng, then looked at Liang Yusong, and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Liang for winning this order and signing such a powerful newcomer." ”
