Chapter 8: Listening to the Studio
Chen Hui found another recording studio, in Houhai, there is not much of anything, but there are many recording studios.
The recording studio in Houhai is like a restaurant on the street, and there is one more than ten meters away.
Chen Hui was not worried about having no place to record the song at all, he walked a few hundred meters forward and picked a recording studio that looked good.
The name of this recording studio is called Silent Listening Studio, and the name sounds very literary.
Chen Hui hesitated, but he still pushed open the door and walked in.
I saw that the space in the Jingting recording studio was not very large, only one storefront, about seventy or eighty square meters, divided into two floors.
Chen Hui walked into the Jingting recording studio, which was quiet and clean.
There is also a faint fragrance wafting in the air, which makes you feel good.
Chen Hui took a cursory look and found that the recording equipment in the silent listening studio was quite complete.
He felt that recording a simple song here should not be a problem.
At the cash register, there was a beautiful young girl, who looked to be about twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
The young girl was dressed very fashionably, with burgundy hair, like a flame, draped around her waist, and two earrings that looked like large circles around her ears.
She wore a crumpled white shirt on her upper body, ripped jeans on her lower body, and a pair of black canvas shoes.
Chen Hui just glanced at the beautiful girl, and quickly retracted his gaze, he is a human being in two lives, and for beautiful girls, he will only have the idea of appreciation in his heart, not the essence of the brain, wanting to treat the other party how to be.
Chen Hui walked to the cash register, and he said to the beautiful girl: "Hello, I want to record a song, how much does it cost to record a song?" Do I need to make an appointment? Can I record a song now? ”
The beautiful girl was first taken aback by Chen Hui's sudden words, and then a happy look appeared on her face, and she quickly got up and said, "Sir, you don't need to make an appointment, you can start recording songs now." ”
"Sir, because you are the first customer since the opening of Jingting Studio, I can give you a 50% discount, the original price of recording a song is 10,000 yuan, and now it only costs 5,000 yuan for a 5% discount."
The beautiful girl counted with her fingers, and then she said to Chen Hui with a smile.
When Chen Hui heard this, he immediately frowned, shook his head helplessly, and said, "It costs 5,000 yuan to record a song?" That's a bit expensive, I don't have that much money on me. ”
After speaking, Chen Hui turned around and prepared to leave.
However, at this time, the beautiful girl grabbed Chen Hui's arm, looked at Chen Hui pitifully with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and said weakly: "Sir, I gave you a 5% discount, is this still expensive?" Don't be in a hurry to leave, everything is negotiable, how much money can you pay? If it weren't too little, maybe I'd agree. ”
Since the opening of the studio, it has not received a new customer except for a good friend of the beautiful girl who came here to record the song.
Finally a guy walked in today and wanted to record a song.
The beautiful girl didn't want Chen Hui, a cooked duck, to fly away from her hands like this.
Chen Hui listened to the beautiful girl's words, and he also said with some hesitation, "I only have three thousand yuan in my hand now, if you agree, I will record a song with you today." ”
When the beautiful girl heard this, she nodded almost without any hesitation and said, "Yes, three thousand yuan is three thousand yuan, whether this business is profitable or not, we should make friends." ”
"Okay." Seeing this, Chen Hui was not hypocritical, and immediately nodded in response, the other party was so happy, what else did he have to hesitate about?
In the process of preparing to record the song, Chen Hui chatted with the beautiful girl, and he learned that the beautiful girl's name was Xu Huiyan, she was a rich second generation, and her family opened a music company.
Xu Huiyan has been influenced by music since she was a child, and she naturally engaged in music-related work when she grew up, but she didn't want to work in her own music company as soon as she graduated, but chose to work her own.
So Xu Huiyan took the pocket money accumulated since she was a child and came to Houhai to open a recording studio, but since the opening of the recording studio, except for a good friend of hers, there has been no new customer.
When Chen Hui heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, the little girl is still not deeply involved in the world, where is it so easy to do business now?
In addition to the cost of doing business, it is also necessary to spend a lot of money and make great efforts to do advertising, so that others can know that there is a recording studio like you in Houhai, and the other party will have that 1 in 10,000 chance of coming.
And in the music circle, network resources are very important, if you open a recording studio, if you don't know some musicians, who will go to an unfamiliar recording studio to record songs?
Let's not talk about the quality of the song recording, but how confidential the song recording process is.
Could it be that just after recording the song today, the pirated music source was spread all over the Internet the next day?
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, most musicians and singers in the entertainment industry generally go to the recording studios they often go to to record songs, or record songs in the recording studios recommended by other bigwigs in the circle.
As soon as Xu Huiyan had a hot brain, she spent tens of millions of savings, ran to Houhai, opened a recording studio by herself, and refused to borrow her family's network resources to attract guests, so it's no wonder that she can get business.
Subsequently, the process of recording the song is very simple, first recording the accompaniment and then recording the vocals.
Finally, a computer program was used to combine the vocals and accompaniment, and some subtleties were adjusted, and the sound source of a song was made in this way.
And the tune of "People Like Me" is also very simple, there is no need to use too complicated instruments, one guitar is enough to do, and in the silent listening studio, there are also guitars with good sound quality.
Chen Hui borrowed the guitar directly from Xu Huiyan, and it didn't take long for him to record the accompaniment.
Chen Hui began to record vocals, only to see that in the sealed recording studio, he was wearing headphones on his head, following the rhythm of the music, brewing emotions, and singing in a low voice.
"This song is really good."
In the operation room outside the recording room, Xu Huiyan also wore headphones and listened to Chen Hui singing, when she heard Chen Hui's singing, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Huiyan also came out of the conservatory, although the major she studied was not singing skills, but she is still very proficient in music.
Chen Hui's song looks simple, but in fact it is directed to the hearts of the people.
It's definitely a song that resonates emotionally with everyone.
Xu Huiyan doesn't know how long it has been since there has been a song of this quality in today's music scene.
Such a song is destined not to be buried!
