Chapter Twenty-Three: The Golden Composer's Label
"The first wave of publicity for Qin Lan's album has been sent out."
"The first wave of title songs will be released on May 20, tentatively "Red Beans", and then the whole album will be officially launched on May 28, let's discuss it and see if there are any comments?"
On May 16th, a seminar on Qin Lan's album was held in the conference room of Xingyun Entertainment, and Gu Yan was also called to participate, he sat quietly in the corner and listened silently without saying a word.
In the days after recording "Once You", Gu Yan's life entered a monotonous but busy rhythm.
concentrates on following Bai Qing to follow up on Qin Lan's album creation process, and even the MV will stare at it and give his opinions, which can be regarded as a thorough familiarity with the process of music producers creating albums.
When everything is busy, the time has come now, and the launch time of Qin Lan's album has been determined.
The meeting was attended by the company's senior executives, and the speaker was the boss of Xingyun Entertainment, a middle-aged man who looked a little fat, but his bearing was quite elegant and easy-going.
Under his question, a middle-aged man who was also middle-aged and blessed said: "This date is still good, there are no singers with the same coffee position as Qin Lan or a higher coffee position than her in the same period, only a little fresh meat ...... in the first half month"
The process of the meeting was stable, and Bai Qing also sat beside Gu Yan and watched the meeting leisurely, and occasionally asked questions casually.
The whole meeting formulated a series of publicity and sales plans, and Gu Yan listened very seriously, after all, it was the first time to participate in the production of the album, and I would be a little nervous and expectant.
Typical newcomer symptoms.
The meeting lasted about an hour and a half before it ended.
"Hmmm......"
After the meeting, Bai Qing stretched his waist and got up and said to Gu Yan, "Let's go, get off work." ”
Gu Yan: "......"
He said helplessly: "Teacher, I don't have such a free treatment as you. ”
Bai Qing smiled when he heard this, and said, "I almost forgot that you are not a senior producer yet, but this is also a matter of time." ”
The conditions for a senior composer are simple.
There must be a popular single with more than 10 million downloads under the name, and three high-quality works with more than 1 million downloads.
With those songs written by Gu Yan, Bai Qing thought that it would be sooner or later.
"Hmm."
Gu Yan smiled, and there was some longing in his heart.
Just when Gu Yan had expectations for the future, Bai Qing glanced at him, and suddenly said, "By the way, don't ask a singer to record those songs you recorded." ”
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"We don't have a suitable male singer in our company, and the quality of those songs is very high, I suggest you just make up the amount of an album, and then I will contact you with a suitable singer, you know the conditions for becoming a great god composer, right?"
Gu Yan was stunned.
To become a god-level composer, you don't just need to ask for any singles, you must be responsible for composing more than half of the songs on an album that has sold more than a million copies.
So even if you have a song, it's best to leave some foundation for yourself.
"Well, okay, thank you, teacher."
Gu Yan nodded gratefully in agreement, and a smile appeared on the corner of Bai Qing's mouth.
Silly boy, it's so foolish.
"Okay, then you go to work first, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do with Mr. Su."
Bai Qing said suddenly.
"Okay."
Gu Yan nodded, the two separated, and Bai Qing slipped away to Su Wei's office immediately after seeing Gu Yan leave.
"Huh? Teacher Bai? ”
Su Wei was sorting out materials in the office, and after seeing Bai Qing, he pushed his glasses in surprise.
Bai Qing made a gesture of raising his hand to stop it, and said, "You're welcome, you come and listen to these songs." ”
Su Wei smiled, made a gesture to sit down, and then took the USB flash drive handed over by Bai Qing.
"Teacher Bai, has you discovered a new good seedling or made a new work?"
Bai Qing sat down and said with a smile: "You will know when you hear it." ”
Su Wei nodded, plugged the USB flash drive into the computer, and then found the four songs inside.
"The Two of Us", "Forget Time", "Our Song", "Once You"
Just looking at the name, he couldn't tell anything, and he clicked on the first one.
A soft melody came out, followed by Gu Yan's warm and clean voice, singing love in a low voice.
It's like a teenager's emotion, scorching, hot.
And then the second one.
"Forget Time"
This song is more of a relief in sadness, and it will be more mature.
Then there is "Our Song", the mood in it is to inject emotions into the music after being disappointed with the feelings.
Finally, there is "Once You", which is obviously a real relief and a feeling of getting back on the road.
There is a gradual process, but what is the same is that all four songs are very pleasant to the ear, and one is of higher quality than the other.
After listening, Su Wei asked Bai Qing excitedly, "Teacher Bai, who sang this?" Is this new work for you? ”
Bai Qing's eyes were on Su Wei's fingers rubbed excitedly, and he smiled proudly and said, "The person who sang this song is someone from our company, and it is from the composition department, it is my new apprentice, and the song was also written by him." ”
"How is it, Mr. Su, do you think he is talented?"
Su Wei nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes!" ”
After saying that, he felt that it was a little unspecific, so he added: "Very much! ”
"So is he suitable to be a singer?"
"Of course it is! Our company is a male singer who can handle it now, Mr. Bai is here to be a lobbyist for him? I agreed, and I could directly give him an A-level artist contract. ”
Su Wei is very decisive, and the four songs in front of him are enough to make him decisive.
But Bai Qing waved his hand and said, "No, this kid doesn't want to be a singer." ”
"Huh?"
Su Wei was stunned, such a big boss looked at Bai Qing in a daze.
He suspected that Bai Qing was playing tricks on him.
Don't want to be a singer, what are you talking to me here!?
What about playing!?
Bai Qing also saw his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Hey, that's why we have to think of a way, Mr. Su, what do you think of this annual producer competition...... What do you think? ”
Su Wei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he also thought about it.
……
On the other side, Gu Yan didn't know that his teacher was calculating him, and returned to the position belonging to the composition department, Xu Wei waved happily as soon as he saw him and said, "Gu Yan!" Come and see! ”
Xu Wei was surrounded by two or three colleagues, and they also smiled when they saw him.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, thinking that something had happened, but when he looked at it, he realized that Xu Wei had opened his composer page on the music software.
At the moment there is only one song on his page.
"A Taoist Friend of Mine"
Xu Wei looked up at Gu Yan excitedly and said, "Look at Gu Yan, the number of downloads of this song has successfully exceeded 300,000 just now!" ”
"You're awesome!"
Gu Yan took a closer look, indeed, there was only one song on his homepage, and the total number of downloads displayed was indeed 300,000!
The junior composer's gold label only needs 100,000 downloads, otherwise he can only be regarded as an ordinary composer, and he is now a full-fledged composer with the label.
A smile appeared on his face.
Not only because of the title of junior composer, but also because the more popular the song, the higher his copyright fee!
However, it was just when they were happy that a nervous voice rang out.
"Oh no, something happened!"
With this nervous voice, Gu Yan and the others all raised their heads and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
