After leaving the company, Chen Shuo asked Shu Hui, "Do you want to buy it?" ”

"Don't look at the fact that I've been in the industry for so many years, but I haven't saved much money now." Shu Yan shook his head and said, "Let's wait until next year."

After joining the company this year, Brother Qi found me a few commercial performances, but I haven't saved much money yet.

After the broadcast of "Baolian Lantern" next year, my fame should rise a lot, and I will be able to make money by then. ”

Chen Shuo thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, anyway, your literature department is not like the acting department, you have to stay in school for the first two years."

Act first, become famous, make money, and say anything. ”

The three of them chatted and came to Jingwen Records, and entered Chen Shuo's office, he said: "You guys play in the office first, and I'll go to Brother He first." ”

"Okay, there you go." Liu Yifei waved his hand to let him take care of himself, and then flipped through the album on his shelf with Shu Hui.

You know, with the convenience of Jingwen, he has collected a lot of signed albums, many of which are collector's editions.

After He Zhengyang saw Chen Shuo, he put down the work in his hand and said, "You came just in time, you shouldn't be busy next, right?" It's time for our second album to get ready. ”

Chen Shuo sat down in front of him and said, "Except for some sporadic scenes, there is no need to stay in the crew all the time."

Is the arrangement done? ”

"It's done, you'll hear it later."

"When will you start recording? Do you want to poop in the afternoon? "Although there is nothing to do with Chen Shuo in the crew, he still has a lot of things to do.

One is the final performance, the other is to look at the house, and I have to prepare for Li Xiaoyao's interview.

"Don't rush yet." He Zhengyang said and took out a card and a document from the desk drawer, pushed it in front of Chen Shuo, and said, "This is your share last year, and it will be settled at the end of December."

It's just that you were on the side of the mountain city at that time, and I never had time to give it to you. ”

Chen Shuo picked up the card and looked at it, and asked, "How many in total?" ”

He Zhengyang said: "12.41 million yuan." ”

"How much?" Chen Shuo was taken aback when he heard this, and asked.

"12.41 million yuan." He Zhengyang said lightly again.

Chen Shuo couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that the album sales were less than 4 million copies before, I calculated at the time, I could get about 4 million at most after tax, how can there be so much more now?" ”

Seeing his surprised look, He Zhengyang smiled and explained: "Do you think that domestic sales are all?"

Don't forget, our company's business is not just domestic.

Southeast Asia, Dongying, Bangguo, and even Europa and the United States all have our partners.

As long as it's not too restrictive, we can sell well all over the world. ”

Chen Shuo was stunned when he heard this, and almost forgot that there is not all in China.

Seeing that he figured it out, He Zhengyang said: "In fact, foreign albums are not as sold as much as in China, but there are very few pirated copies like Europa, the United States, and Dongying, and we did not implement the strategy of ultra-low prices, but sold them according to the local market."

In this way, the profit of an album is high, and selling one over there is equivalent to selling three or five copies in China.

That's why you're going to get so much on this album. ”

"Is this after tax or before tax?" Chen Shuo couldn't help but ask again.

"After tax, the company will help you pay all your taxes, and you can spend the money as you like." He Zhengyang clicked on the document on the table again, and said: "This document is the income breakdown of your album, domestic and foreign, record sales, CD sales, tape sales, and the unit price of each country."

The sales of each region, the details of tax payment, etc., are listed in detail.

You can find someone to take a look. ”

Chen Shuo picked up the file and flipped through it, and found that the total sales of this album had reached nearly 100 million.

Moreover, the sales abroad are not large, only more than one million, but the profits created are greater than the nearly four million albums in China.

This couldn't help but make him sigh again, sure enough, doing this business is simply making money.

After putting away the documents and cards, he was immediately full of energy, got up and joked: "Brother He, hurry up, let's hurry up and finish the album, and then go to make money." ”

"Haha~" He Zhengyang smiled, got up and said, "You kid, now you know that you are positive?"

But the quality of your new album is really good, much better than the previous one.

And you also have a lot of money on this album, and by this time next year, you will definitely get more money than now. ”

A newcomer has earned so much on his first album, and the company will naturally not be invisible.

This second album directly gave him a share of 10%, and at the same time, all the songs in the album were written by himself, and in the end, the copyright could also be divided into nearly 10%.

In other words, he can finally share 40% of the proceeds of this album.

This condition is generally not eligible for singers who have been famous for a long time.

But who let him have the ability, not only can he write it himself, but he can also be popular when he sings, and the company is willing.

He made more than 12 million yuan from one album, but the company made even more, even if all the costs were removed, the company had a net profit of nearly 50 million.

The next album, the visible will be better.

If Jingwen is stingy and unwilling to give, naturally someone is willing to give, not to mention anything else, Taimai, Rolling Stone and other companies are staring at it.

When Chen Shuo turned around and joined other companies, Jingwen couldn't earn a penny, and he had to be ridiculed by his peers.

The two went to Chen Shuo's office, picked up Liu Yifei and Shu Hui, and went to the recording studio together.

There are many singers in Jingwenzhong, and they have their own recording studios, and the configuration is definitely the top in the industry.

After entering the recording studio, He Zhengyang flipped through the score and asked, "Which one to start recording first?" ”

"Let's start with 'Mortal Eyes'." Chen Shuo said: "Try to record it first today, and then record "Peerless", "Water Moon", and "Outer Sky" tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

These songs are going to be used by Zhou Yi, and "Water Moon Cave Sky" and "Legend of the Spirit Mirror" will be finished in the later stage soon. ”

"How do you understand this song?" He Zhengyang nodded and asked Liu Yifei.

"There is a feeling that I don't understand." Liu Yifei said with some embarrassment: "Chen Shuo said that there should be a touch of confusion and a touch of sadness, but I am really confused and don't know what he wants." ”

"Then you go in and sing it first." He Zhengyang thought for a while.

"Okay." She didn't have stage fright, nodded and walked into the shed.

After wearing the ear feedback, after trying the sound, Liu Yifei made an "OK" gesture to everyone.

The recording engineer saw it and began to play the accompaniment, and when he reached the point, he prompted: "Enter!" ”

Liu Yifei got the cue and began to sing:

“……

How can I see clearly~

You're like a dream~

It's not easy to keep you~

It is like the relationship between water and the moon~

……”

Listening to the singing sound coming from the headphones, the recording engineer didn't make any movements, but waited for her to finish singing again, and beckoned her to come out.

Then I played it out to her.

"Do you feel that something is wrong?"

Liu Yifei thought for a while and said, "There doesn't seem to be any emotion. ”

The recording engineer waved his hand and said, "Chen Shuo go in and sing it again." ”

"Okay." Chen Shuo answered, went in and sang it again.

“……

How can I see clearly~

You're like a dream~

……”

When he finished singing, his singing voice was cold and ethereal, and a sense of desolation could be clearly heard.

"I'll try again." Liu Yifei thought about it and went in to record it again.

This time, she listened directly in the shed, and Chen Shuo and the others listened outside.

Chen Shuo and Shu Hui clearly heard that she used the technique of ape crying to increase the sadness in her voice.

The recording engineer listened, applauded, and said through the microphone: "It's good, I feel it, but your feeling is too floating, and it's too emotional."

The voice is a little more solid, the sad feeling is a little lighter, and there is a sense of confusion and sadness.

Combined with the lines to understand, how can I see clearly, your fantastic figure.

The other party is like a dream, so you can't see clearly, so there is a kind of confusion.

But the other party is the person or thing you want most, but you can't see right from wrong clearly, and there is a kind of helpless sadness.

Imagine doing it all over again. ”

After Liu Yifei understood what he meant, she came again.

"The effect is there, according to your current understanding, let's come one by one.

Let's start with the first sentence, okay, let's go! ”

"How can I see clearly~" Liu Yifei immersed herself in the artistic conception of the lyrics and sang slowly.

Helplessness, confusion and a hint of sadness can be clearly heard in the singing.

"Okay, what, how and don't be so fast, drag it a little, do it again.

Very good, next sentence, it's not easy to keep you~

Yes, the accent is on 'think', and then a little bit more at the end.

……”

The recording engineer took the trouble to help her go through sentence by sentence and correct every detail.

At the same time, he is also adjusting the arranged music to be the most suitable for Liu Yifei's voice.

After finishing it again, he said, "Come on, come all over again." ”

The whole sang three more times, and the recording engineer gave her a thumbs up.

"The effect is very good, you have understood the artistic conception of this song, mastered the skills of singing, come and drink saliva."

Chen Shuo took the water cup and handed it to her, asked her to moisten her throat, and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Liu Yifei took two sips of water, moistened her throat, took a few more sips, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy, when I didn't come to the studio to record before, I couldn't feel anything wrong in some places."

But as soon as I entered the shed, all the flaws were magnified at once. ”

"Okay, you can rest for a while, I'll go in and record it." Seeing that the recording engineer was waiting, Chen Shuo took the water cup and screwed it on the table, allowing her to chat with Shu Xuan.

I went into the shed and officially recorded it.

As the level increases, so does the effect of the bard, from the initial cleansing and uplift at level 1, to the level 5 of ecstasy, and the hint of level 7.

At level 9 and level 11, Chen Shuo obtained two performance effects, exhilarating and fearful, respectively.

Uplifting: Resonate with the audience through the performance and reinforce the audience's current mood.

Fear: Acting to arouse fear in the audience's mind and weaken their willpower.

These two performance effects, one is good or bad depends on the mood of the current audience, and the other is more reflected in the bad places.

Fortunately, before and after level 10 is a threshold, before level 10 it is only the elite level, and after level 10 it belongs to the exemplary level.

At the same time, the control has also been taken to a higher level.

He can be selective, directed to stimulate the effect of the bard.

And what kind of effect is also closely related to his performance, if his performance is not terrifying, it is difficult to stimulate the fear effect.

The reason why the last album made people love it so much is because he sang every song to perfection and inspired the performance.

Then the effect of each song is superimposed on the effect of other songs, so that the listener will feel the most after listening to the whole album.

The theme of his new album is "Ancient Pathos", and the whole album has a touch of sadness.

As he sang it with all his attention, a perfect hint swiped through, activating the hint effect.

The artistic conception of the song "Mortal Eye", guided by the performance effect, aroused a sense of desolation in the heart of the recording engineer.

Immersed in it, it took a while for him to come back to his senses and give a thumbs up in approval.

After that, Liu Yifei was asked to enter the studio and recorded a version of the chorus with Chen Shuo.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that the song was recorded.

"Hard work Brother He, hard work Teacher Wu." After it was confirmed, Chen Shuo said to He Zhengyang and the recording engineer that he had worked hard.

"Hard work Brother He, hard work Teacher Wu." Liu Yifei also bowed down and said, "It's all because of me that I've kept you busy for so long." ”

"No, we were supposed to record it until nine o'clock. I didn't expect you and Chen Shuo to perform so well, and they are now finished. He Zhengyang waved his hand and smiled.

He wasn't lying, he had come with that plan in mind.

At the beginning of the year, Chen Shuo didn't have enough control over the effect of the bard, and he couldn't activate the effect every time, let alone achieve the desired effect once.

In order to pursue perfection, he was in the studio at that time and recorded everything after 12 o'clock.

What's more, today is mainly to watch Liu Yifei's performance, I thought she hadn't recorded a song, how could she adapt to it for a day, and wait for tomorrow to produce results.

I didn't expect it to be done in an afternoon.

"Since we have finished recording this song "Mortal Eyes" today, we will call it a day, and we will continue to record it tomorrow."

"Okay." Chen Shuo nodded and said, "I'm going to look at the house tomorrow morning, and I'll come back after lunch." ”

"Okay." He Zhengyang said: "I feel that your current level has made a lot of progress, and I think the speed of recording will be faster this time." ”

"I feel the same."

After leaving the recording studio together, Chen Shuo was not ready to go back to the office, and said goodbye to He Zhengyang directly: "Then Brother He, let's go first." ”

He Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll go back to the office to pack up and go home." ”

It was a surprise to be able to go home early today.

Thinking about Liu Yifei's performance, she may not be as good as Chen Shuo, but she is still talented.

Especially the changeable voice, a little girl who usually speaks with a milky voice, can make such a vigorous voice, which makes him surprised and very happy.

He wanted to sign Liu Yifei, but Chen Shuo insisted on waiting for the effect of this album to come out.

So he was helpless.
