The next day.

Turquoise Records Headquarters.

Fang Xing took Lu Ming into the recording studio and began to record the song "Big Fish".

"Big Fish" is a song written by Yin Yue, composed by Qian Lei, and sung by Zhou Shen.

This song is an impression song of the animated film "Big Fish and Begonia", which won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards at the Asian New Song Chart Annual Ceremony in 2016.

This song can be said to be a label of Zhou Shen, and it is widely sung.

This song is more difficult for male voices.

The highest note of the lyrics is D5 flat, and the chant part is F5.

However, some of Zhou Shen's live versions of "Big Fish" will be sung to A5.

Lu Ming got the score last night, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, so he hummed on the bed, got up and ran into the bathroom to close the doors and windows to practice.

I didn't sleep until the middle of the night, and when I woke up in the morning, I took a taxi over, and I was in good spirits.

Since he practiced many times last night, Lu Ming looked at the score and was able to follow it the first time.

All that's left is to pick out the details, and after the pitch is okay, it's the pursuit of emotion.

In the chorus part of this song, it needs a lot of emotion, because the sentence of watching the big fish fly to the sky needs to sing the feelings that you want to keep but can't.

Last night, when I sent a message to Lu Ming to record the song, I also sent a WeChat message to Guo Keda by the way, asking him to come over Songshi Records when he was free.

When "Big Fish" was halfway through the recording, Guo Keda came over.

"There was an announcement in the morning, and I flew over as soon as the work was over, how was it?" Guo Keda entered the recording studio and saw Lu Ming recording inside.

"It's going to be finished soon, let's go back to the office to talk after Lu Ming finishes recording." Fang Xing continued to control the recording equipment and helped Lu Ming pick out the details.

Guo Keda picked up an ear, put it on his head, and when he heard Lu Ming's singing, his eyes immediately widened: "Brother Fang, this song is going to be popular." Tsk, Xiao Luzi's voice is really envious, jealous and hateful. ”

In small groups of four.

Guo Keda is the weakest singing ability among the four.

He recognized this a long time ago, and he also knew that his voice talent was incomparable to Lu Ming and Shao Yu.

In fact, he likes to play music and musical instruments, but liking does not mean that he has to pursue the ultimate.

Not only does he love music, but he also likes to drink draft beer.

And he didn't feel like he had to give up his hobbies for music.

Therefore, he has positioned himself very clearly, music lover.

Coupled with his voice talent, he can't compare with Lu Ming, so he never asks himself to sing a fire song.

It is because of this mentality that he has no burden in music.

Moreover, he is a social, preferring to go out and hang out with friends rather than stay in the studio.

Therefore, when he said "envy, jealousy, hatred", the tone was actually ridiculing.

……

After Lu Ming finished recording the sample, the three of them returned to Fang Xing's office.

Fang Xing directly told them about his recent plans: "I plan to open a studio and help Lu Ming record this song, which is the first job of the studio, and it will be released together with an animated short film when the time comes."

"Lu Ming, I am going to sing this song to you, I recorded a sample today, and I want to take it to the collaborator to listen to.

"You go back and practice again, maybe in a few days you will officially record."

Lu Ming immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, no problem, I like this song so much." ”

Ever since he called his grandfather and learned that his family had been following him and that there was no objection to him switching to falsetto, the knot in his heart had opened.

Fang Xing then looked at Guo Keda and said, "I'm going to open a studio, I need help, come here?" ”

Guo Keda immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course you have to come, you will be mixed with Brother Fang in the future." ”

Fang Xing added: "I asked you to come here to prepare for you to be the agent of the studio, if you want to continue, you can bring the brokerage team to you in the future."

"Well, if I have a chance in the future, I can send you one or two."

Guo Keda stretched out his hand and slapped Fang Xing's shoulder, and said, "I don't know how many catties and taels I have?" I can lead the brokerage team, anyway, I will be mixed with Brother Fang in the future. ”

"Then it's decided, Sister Hong will come over later, you sign a contract with her, and find a time to join the company. The studio should be registered in a few days. ”

At noon, Qiao Yinghong came over and arranged the entry procedures for Guo Keda.

He is now an employee of Songshi Records, and he is arranged to Fang Xing's studio.

Qiao Yinghong chatted with Li Caiwei and decided to come over to help Fang Xing and set up the studio first.

Li Caiwei is very supportive of Qiao Yinghong's coming over to run Fang Xing's studio.

She was also a little careful in her heart.

In the future, when Qiao Yinghong runs Fang Xing's studio, when there is a new song to be sung by a singer, of course, it is close to the water and the first to get the month.

……

The next day.

The sound engineer synthesized a sample of "Big Fish".

Fang Xing sent the sample to Liang Whale and asked him to listen to it.

After listening to this, Liang Whale was extremely excited.

He has been making the animation of "There Are Fish in the North Underworld", and the emotions depicted in the animation are what "Big Fish" expresses.

He forgot to sleep and eat to make animations, and this animation seems to have become a part of him, and even what he dreamed of in his dreams was the picture of animation.

And this song seems to have been sung into his dream.

"Mr. Fang, this song is so good, can it really be used as the theme song of the animation?" Liang Whale's breathing was a little short, this kind of song that even fits the dream, he was afraid that Fang would wake up and regret it.

"This song doesn't take your money, it's discounted by two million, and you have a stake in your animated film. In addition, I will invest in additional investments based on your progress in making action movies. If you agree, you can come to Pinestone Records tomorrow to sign a contract. Fang Xing clarified the way of cooperation.

"Yes, you can." Liang Whale agreed to this plan without thinking.

In fact, he has now only crowdfunded 1.5 million to make the animation.

His current team consists of six people, which is only enough to pay a salary.

If you want to make this animated movie, 1.5 million is simply not enough.

His original idea was to wait for the theme song to become popular before continuing to finance animated films.

Now, Fang Xing cooperates with the song at a discounted price, and he naturally will not object.

After all, he didn't have the money to buy this song as the theme song of the movie, and the discounted shares would make his funds more abundant.

……

At noon.

Liang Yusong made a phone call and asked Fang Xing to go to his office to talk about "Big Fish".

After the sample of "Big Fish" came out, Liang Yusong had already heard it.

He also felt that the song might be a hit.

Fang woke up to Liang Yusong's office and drank a cup of tea first.

Liang Yusong went straight to the point: "I listened to "Big Fish", which is very good. I heard that you have decided to make this song the theme song for an animated movie? ”

"Yes, that's how it was intended." Fang Xing nodded in agreement.

"I took a look at this animated film project called "Fish in the North Underworld", and to be honest, it is not a high-quality project." Liang Yusong carefully considered the words and did not use too bad words to describe "There Are Fish in the North Underworld", but the meaning in the words was obvious.

It is true that the animated film project "Fish in the North Underworld" is still in the stage of crowdfunding and financing, and there is no prospect in sight.

The proposal for this project, put on the desk of the investment department of any film and television company, will be thrown directly into the trash.

"I know it's really not going well right now."

Fang Xing paused, and then said: "However, I feel that Liang Whale is okay, I watched the animated short film he made.

"If I didn't invest in his animated films, I would also consider buying animated shorts and making the MV for "Big Fish". In this case, it is better to bring capital into the group, be the main creative team, and personally check the project. ”

After listening to it, Liang Yusong understood Fang Xing's thoughts, so he asked: "Then the song "Big Fish" is going to be discounted into shares......

The song "Big Fish" was produced and released at Pinestone Records.

Therefore, the matter of using this song to buy shares in "There Are Fish in the North Underworld" at a discount needs to be discussed with the company.

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Yes, this song is discounted into "There Are Fish in the North Underworld", and it is my personal investment to invest in this project. So the discounted part, I will supply the company. ”

According to the producer's contract, Fang Xing's share is 50%, so the discount is 2 million, of which 1 million should go to Songshi Records.

When Songshi Records released this song, it needed to use distribution channels, as well as publicity and distribution methods such as local promotion.

Even if Liang Yusong sings, it is divided into such a division.

Therefore, Fang Xing is ready to make up 1 million to the company from his own income.

Liang Yusong waved his hand and said: "It depends on your thoughts, if you feel that you need the company to help you share the risk, this million can be regarded as a company investment." ”

Fang Xing said: "The 2 million is my personal investment, if the company wants to invest, you can consider another investment, I expect this animated film to need an investment of 30 million to 50 million." If the company wants to invest, you can consider it. ”

Liang Yusong smiled casually: "With such a big investment, I can't be the master, I have to discuss with other shareholders." Moreover, our company is not a film and television company, and there has never been a precedent for investing in film projects. ”

Film and television companies have a special investment department, and to invest in a project, the investment department needs to conduct a comprehensive investigation and analysis of the project.

Turquoise Records is a record company and does not have a dedicated film and television investment department, so it has never made such an investment.

……

Early the next morning.

Liang Whale arrived at Songshi Records and waited until Qiao Yinghong came to sign it with the contract.

The contract was issued by the legal department of Songshi Records, and a legal counsel came over with Qiao Yinghong to explain the terms of the contract to Liang Whale.

Liang Whale has been stunned by the song "Big Fish", and he sees the hope of financing a movie with this song.

He only wants to make animated movies now, and he doesn't think about other things so much.

So, he quickly flipped through the terms of the contract and signed it.

In the afternoon.

Fang Xing called Lu Ming over, signed the singing contract of "Big Fish", and began to record the official version.

After the official version of "Big Fish" was recorded, it was synthesized into a MV with the animated short film "There Are Fish in the North Underworld".

After the MV was completed, Turquoise Records officially released the song.

Along with this song, there is also an animated short film "There Are Fish in the North Underworld".

The animated short film landed on major video platforms, and Songshi Records spent money to buy the homepage promotion of major video platforms.

"Big Fish" dominated major online platforms overnight.

Fang Xing's Weibo account also released the news of "Big Fish".

As soon as "Big Fish" was released, it topped the hot search within three hours.

The animated short film "There Are Fish in the North Underworld" has also begun to dominate major online platforms.

The MV of "Big Fish" released by Penguin Video has exceeded 10 million views in three hours.

All kinds of sand sculpture barrage began to fly around:

[High energy warning! 】

[High energy warning! Please wear headphones and start the brainwashing cycle. 】

[Here, Fang Xing and Lu Ming made another move. 】

[This song is paired with this animation, it's just a perfect match.] 】

[Suddenly it seems like watching this movie, when will it be released?] 】

[This broken project is still pulling investment, and it is estimated that it will not be three or five years, and it will not be seen. 】

[Lu Ming's five sets of trebles are still so good. 】

……

This evening.

After Ni Hongdan finished dinner, she pushed the baby walking artifact and took her daughter Qiqi for a walk in the green park next to the community.

The phone suddenly clanged and rang.

She picked up her phone and took a look, and found that there were a lot of people in the fan group @her.

[Qiqi's mother, look at Weibo, Fang Xing came out with another song, so I heard it, so I quickly rubbed a wave of traffic to buy milk powder for Qiqi. 】

[Is Kiki's mother this kind of person who supports traffic? ] We are the supporters of the Eight Classics. 】

[That's right, the support of Zheng'er Bajing woke up, and by the way, he made milk powder money for Kiki. 】

Ni Hongdan opened Weibo and saw that the animated MV of "Big Fish" had rushed to the top of the hot search.

She posted a shocked meme in the group:

[I just went out to walk a baby, why did there be such a big movement, I was completely caught off guard. 】

After she finished sending this sentence, she squatted down and pinched her daughter's face: "Kiki, we have to go home, my mother has to work." ”

Kiki was not happy, flattened her mouth, pointed to the square of the park, and kept kicking her legs: "Go there, go there......"

Ni Hongdan picked up her daughter with one hand, lifted the baby walking artifact with the other, turned around and walked back.

After returning home, she quickly learned about the current situation, and then clicked on the animated MV of "Big Fish".

In the prelude to the song, the anime MV begins to play, a human girl, who picks up a fish and takes it home to feed.

The prelude passes, and then to the main song.

Lu Ming's ethereal and clean voice came from the earphones:

"The waves silently drown the night deep and over the corners of the sky.

"The big fish swims through the cracks of dreams, gazing at your sleeping silhouette......"

As soon as Ni Hongdan heard it, he knew that this song was of high quality.

Moreover, from Lu Ming's voice, he heard a kind of firmness, which was slightly different from the period of "Tomorrow's Star".

The song continues to play.

When the chorus is sung:

"I'm afraid you'll fly away, I'm afraid you'll leave me.

"I'm more afraid you'll stay here forever.

"Every tear flows down to you.

"The ...... of the sea flowing backwards into the sky"

When this paragraph is sung, the animated short is played just in time for the human girl, looking at the big fish that has grown up, and with a slow attachment, it flies into the sky.

The image of the big fish is a whale with huge wings and fins.

When the big fish grows to be as huge as a mountain, he does not belong to the world after all, he can't stay here, but he is deeply attached to the girl who raised him.

Seeing this scene, Ni Hongdan's mood began to fluctuate a little.

She glanced back at her daughter and thought that her daughter would also grow up one day, and she would also fly to a wider sky and go to the outside world with her own thoughts.

She understands this reluctance, but she has to let go.

Followed by.

The song comes to the second chorus:

"Look at you flying away, watch you go away.

"It turns out that you were born to belong to Skyrim.

"Every tear flows down to you.

"Rewind back to the original encounter......"

Ni Hongdan's tears flowed involuntarily, she was infected by the emotions in the song, and her mood couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

She took a deep breath, brewed her rhetoric, wrote the next music review, and sent it out.

At the end of the music review, a sentence was added:

"I cried when I heard this song.

"I think that one day, Kiki will also fly with my affection to a broader sky. I still can't calm down.

"No. 1 on the hot song list, I'm afraid it's going to change hands again."

This sentence was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and it immediately attracted a siege from a group of SPK fans.

Because now the number one hot song on the music chart is SPK's new song "Sexy".

Three weeks ago, "Painted Heart" was released, squeezing "Sexy" out of the top hits.

SPK fans, after the peak of the popularity of "Painted Heart" passed, re-crowdfunded the list and rushed to the first place.

But before he stayed at the top of the hot song list for two days, Fang Xing released another song "Big Fish".

Moreover, the popularity of "Big Fish" soared faster than "Painting Heart".

also landed at No. 1 on the new song chart on the first day, and then hit the hot song chart and began to threaten the position of "Sexy".

In the wails of countless SPK fans.

"Big Fish" rushed to the top strongly, once again squeezing "Sexy" from the first place on the hot song chart.

Weibo is full of wails from SPK fans and carnivals from sand sculpture netizens.

[SPK has been fucked down again.] 】

[SPK is really miserable, and he was down twice in a row. 】

[I feel that SPK has a lot of stamina, maybe next month, there will be a Brownian movement and the third time to hit the list.] 】

[Then, encounter the third song of Fang Xing? 】

[Shoot shoots. 】

[Fang Xing: As long as I don't agree, don't want to sit at the top of the hot song list. 】

[SPK: Fang Xing, you should be a person.] 】

What do you say? "Big Fish" is obviously sung by Lu Ming, is it good? (Dog's Head)】

[Fang Xing: I don't even have to do it myself, I can dig out two leg hairs and you. 】

[SPK is also owed, why did you provoke "Nocturne" in the first place? ] It's okay now, I backstroked on the first place on the hot song chart, and then I sank again. 】

However, things are developing more and more dramatically.

After "Sexy" was recorded at the top of the hit song chart by "Big Fish".

Chaoyin culture selectively gave up playing the list.

After all, when "Big Fish" was at its most popular, it was obviously not cost-effective to spend money on the list.

Therefore, Chaoyin Culture chose to temporarily give up playing the list, preparing to wait for the limelight of "Big Fish" to pass, and then find a chance to hit the list.

As a result, fans of Chaoyin culture and SPK have given up on hitting the list.

The popularity of "Sexy" began to decline, and it fell directly to third place.

made the first on the hot song list become "Big Fish", and the second became "Painting Heart".

Sand sculpture netizens and fun people are even happier:

[Okay, it's time for the most joyful PK link again, "Big Fish" vs. "Painting Heart". 】

[It's over, it's over, SPK can't even sit in the position of the second. 】

[SPK is really miserable. 】

[Miserable +1]
