Chapter 400: Half the Success (Addendum: 17/30)
Liu Yifei hugged Xiaohu, flipped through the scores of the three songs, and stirred her cheeks left and right with a breath in her mouth, looking extremely cute.
However, the fly in the ointment is that her brows are slightly furrowed at this time, obviously a little embarrassed.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she made a "pop" sound, rubbed her chin on the top of Xiaohu's head, and said, "This song is good, but it is also difficult."
In terms of skills, it's good to say, I'm almost at the same time as I can master my voice.
But as Chen Shuo said, it always feels so difficult to sing the artistic conception. ”
He Zhengyang listened to it and thought about it, and said to Chen Shuo: "In this way, you follow in, and the two of you sing together, so that Qianqian can feel the artistic conception of the three songs." ”
"Okay, let's go." Hearing this, Chen Shuo got up and invited Liu Yifei.
"Good!" Liu Yifei got up excitedly and handed Xiaohu to Liu Xiaoli, and followed him into the recording studio.
Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Chen Shuo said: "Let's start with "Elves in the Clouds"! ”
Liu Yifei put on the ear monitors, nodded, and made an "OK" gesture.
Then I picked up the lyrics and looked at them.
"Above that distant white cloud
There is a holy kingdom
There is a mysterious group of elves there
They have transparent wings and wear elaborate clothes.
They love to dance and frolic in the clouds
……
Under the stars~ We make a wish
With the wind, it drifted to the kingdom of the white clouds
Awakens the sleeping elves
They happily planted their dreams in the white clouds
Watering with that selfless love
Watch it take root and sprout and bear a fruit that is about to grow
Sent to us as a meteor
……
Lala~Lalala~Lalala~"
With Chen Shuo's singing, the light melody seemed to flow in everyone's hearts.
Every character, every melody turned into a wing-waving elf, and a cheerful laugh like a silver bell.
Remove the fog in everyone's hearts and reveal the bright light of the heart.
Even Xiaohu couldn't help but flick his tail, looking very comfortable.
At first, Liu Yifei just thought it was good and had a lot of fun listening to it, but then she couldn't help but sing along with Chen Shuo.
Slowly, she also forgot that she was recording in the recording studio, closed her eyes slightly, relaxed her mind to the extreme, and followed the melody in her ears, humming the lyrics that she had memorized.
Outside the shed, Seeing this, He Zhengyang gestured to Chen Shuo and asked him to lower his voice.
He also asked the recording engineer to adjust the audio track, further reduce Chen Shuo's voice, and then strengthen Liu Yifei's voice.
This time it may not be useful, but this state of spontaneous devotion to artistic conception is rare, and maybe it can play a role in the end.
With the end of the last cheering sound, Liu Yifei was still shaking her head and immersed in the artistic conception.
Seeing this, Chen Shuo greeted He Zhengyang, and then hummed the prelude melody of the song softly.
Listening to the melody in her ears, Liu Yifei spontaneously matched the rhythm of her body shaking.
When he started to enter the lyrics, Chen Shuo did not make a sound, but lowered his voice again and hummed the melody.
And Liu Yifei reflexively began to sing.
"Above that distant white cloud
There is a holy kingdom
……”
This time, Chen Shuo just accompanied her to shake her body, to the melody, and was careful not to make a sound.
After singing again, He Zhengyang and the recording engineer did not continue to record, but played the recorded voice and listened to it again.
Listening to the familiar voice in her ears, Liu Yifei slowly opened her eyes and listened carefully, only to know that she was singing.
Chen Shuo also listened carefully on the side.
After one time, he and He Zhengyang and others outside applauded together.
"That's it?" Liu Yifei said with some surprise.
"Nope." Chen Shuo took off the ear back, helped her take it off, and said, "Let's go see the effect first."
Although this natural sound is very feeling, it does not meet the requirements of a good song, and you have not handled many details properly.
However, with this experience, no matter how much you listen to the recorded singing and find the shortcomings, you will basically be able to master the song. ”
Liu Yifei nodded, and the two walked out of the recording studio together, and the recording engineer processed the recorded sound track, mixed it with the previously arranged music, and then played the sound out.
Listening to the semi-finished product of the first edition, no one spoke for the first time, just listened carefully.
From the second time, Chen Shuo began to let Liu Yifei find the shortcomings by himself.
Today's Liu Yifei has completed the training of "Five Birds Vocal Method: Advanced Version", and according to the level, the singing and line ability is at least level 10.
Although it has not yet become a model, it is already the pinnacle of professional level.
In terms of voice, there is nothing to say, and the sense of tone has also been imperceptibly improved to the corresponding level.
Naturally, I can easily hear the shortcomings in my singing.
Every time there is a defect, it can be quickly pointed out and said what should have been done to meet the standard.
For the third time, Chen Shuo began to let her listen to the merits of his singing.
And said: "People should see their own shortcomings, but at the same time, they should also see their own strengths, and don't think that this is self-selling and boasting."
Only by seeing your strengths and weaknesses at the same time can you know where you should improve. ”
Liu Yifei nodded seriously, and began to find out what he thought he was doing well for the third time.
After listening to it twice, Chen Shuo let her go into the recording studio alone to record it again.
Chen Shuo and He Zhengyang each wore a headset and listened carefully.
The quality of the headphones in the recording studio is very good, which can clearly restore the singer's voice, and any flaws can be heard very clearly.
Grinding over and over again, and at the same time keeping Liu Yifei in her artistic conception when singing, is a very energy-consuming way.
At first, she was very passionate, but as she repeated it over and over again, she gradually began to become numb.
Not to mention maintaining that cheerful and elf-like artistic conception, the voice revealed a heavy sense of confusion.
Liu Xiaoli looked at her lifeless daughter in the recording studio and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
However, looking at Chen Shuo's calm face, he clearly knew that he should not be disturbed at this time.
After singing again, Chen Shuo took off his headphones and beckoned Liu Yifei to come out.
"Sissi, drink some water." As soon as she went out, Liu Xiaoli handed over the water glass, and seeing that she drank quickly, she couldn't help but mutter: "Slow down, slow down, and what!" ”
Liu Yifei drank three glasses in a row, came to the seat and sat down, and motioned to the recording engineer to play the effect of the last pass.
Listening to the lifeless voice, her heart was a little heavy, and she got up and said, "I'll go and record again." ”
Chen Shuo grabbed her, pulled her to sit down and said, "Don't worry, rest for a while, rest for a while." ”
Liu Yifei felt that his body was very tired and his spirit was very heavy, so he let him pull him to sit down and hold him in his arms.
When the others saw it, they packed up their things as if they were out of sight.
Chen Shuo let Liu Yifei lie on his lap like a child, his head rested on his arms, slowly patted her shoulders and back, and hummed the melody of "Elf in the Clouds" softly.
Lying in Chen Shuo's arms, feeling his slight shaking, Liu Yifei felt like she was lying in the clouds, in the cradle, fluttering and comfortable.
Listening to the melody humming by Chen Shuo, he felt as if there were some other existences around him.
As the melody progresses, those beings slowly wake up, dancing and frolicking above the white clouds.
She herself seemed to be one of them, laughing with everyone, and as night fell, many golden points of light floated from below.
They planted these points of light in the clouds, holding hands, laughing, jumping, and watching it sprout and bear fruit.
Then he threw the brilliant fruit into the clouds, and watched them fall into dreams like meteors, turning into the power of hope.
After a while, she opened her eyes and got up from Chen Shuo's arms, with a clear and cheerful feeling on her body.
She got up and smiled, "I'll record it again." ”
"Go ahead!" Chen Shuo smiled and encouraged.
"Hmm!" She nodded happily and re-entered the studio.
Such as the sound of a clear spring, such as a ring dingdong, such as a clear spring falling stones......
That crisp and cheerful voice sounded, like flowing water, and sang the whole song.
From the moment she began to sing, the recording engineer was like a sheep having a seizure, trembling with excitement.
However, his hands are like a doctor's scalpel, and the tone is steadily tuned, which perfectly fits Liu Yifei's voice.
Soon, at the end of the song, Chen Shuo threw away the headphones and applauded Liu Yifei wantonly.
"Bang Bang !!"
He Zhengyang and others also applauded.
This song!
Perfect!
Not only that, Liu Yifei even gave it a deeper meaning, and deeply imprinted the artistic conception in the song in his body and mind.
From now on, this song belongs to her completely.
She can sing the artistic conception she just had anytime and anywhere.
Only she can!
Liu Yifei ran out happily, first gave Liu Xiaoli and Huang Ying a big hug, and then trotted towards Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo also happily caught her, picked her up and spun around twice.
As soon as he put her down, he felt a touch of warmth imprinted on his lips, and he was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
As soon as the thought of "there are people around, and my aunt is there" flashed through my mind, I forgot about it.
Seeing this scene, the other cheering crowds were stunned for a moment, and their smiles froze on their faces.
"Ahem~" Liu Xiaoli coughed lightly twice, turned around and went to clean up the already good water glass.
When the others saw it, they also hurriedly turned around and went their own way.
After a while, Chen Shuo felt that Liu Yifei's face was a little hot, and slowly drilled into his arms, and suddenly knew that she had come to her senses at this time, and felt a little shy.
immediately hugged her and said, "That, Brother He will tidy up the audio track, and we will go back first." ”
After saying that, he hugged her and turned around and walked out of the studio.
Feeling Chen Shuo close the door and pull her forward, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief.
Follow Chen Shuo slowly towards his office.
After a while, Liu Xiaoli and Huang Ying came to the office with their things.
Liu Yifei was just embarrassed, so she pretended not to care, and asked, "Mom, let's go eat, I'm hungry!" ”
Liu Xiaoli nodded and asked, "Okay, what do Shuoshuo want to eat?" ”
Liu Yifei hurriedly said: "I want to drink porridge." ”
Chen Shuo nodded and said, "Then go and drink porridge, I heard that there is a family in Wangfujing, and the porridge is very good." ”
Liu Xiaoli said: "Then let's go there." ”
Seeing Liu Xiaoli turn around and leave the office, Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue at Chen Shuo and grinned.
Chen Shuo smiled and gave her a thumbs up, and then pulled her to follow.
took out his mobile phone and called He Zhengyang, said his hard work, and told him that he and the others would leave first, and let him pack up and go back.
Hung up the phone, except for the company to get into the car, and went straight to Wangfujing.
During the time when Chen Shuo and the others participated in the film festival, He Zhengyang had already chatted with Mr. Xu.
In the end, Jingwen Records covered the production fee, publicity fee, channel fee, etc., and then accounted for 40% of the starting share.
Then, when the album sales exceed one million, the follow-up share accounts for 35%, the two million accounts for 30%, and the five million accounts for 25%.
If it can break 10 million, the subsequent share of Jingwen will only account for 10%, and the reward will be no less than promised to Chen Shuo.
This condition seems to have given Jingwen a lot of concessions, but in fact, this deal is a sure win for him.
Although Chen Shuo plans to rush for this album, the total production cost will not exceed one million.
Even other expenses are counted, and the final cost of a million finished albums will not exceed five million yuan at most.
This money is nothing whether it is for Chen Shuo or Jingwen, even if they are both lost.
What's more, in addition to the production cost, it is not so much invested at once.
The main thing is that both sides don't feel that the album will lose money.
With Chen Shuo's current fame, this album is worth a million sales.
One million albums, five million costs, as long as it reaches 500,000 sales, it can pay off.
One million sales, at least three million can be earned; With sales of two million, you can earn at least 10 million; With five million sales, the profit is nearly 100 million.
The further back, the lower the cost, the greater the profit, and the more you earn.
Needless to say, five million sales, but if it exceeds two million, those channels and whatever, not only do you not have to pay, but you can still make money.
When sold abroad, there is not only a share of the sales volume, but also a copyright fee.
And today, with Liu Yifei's successful recording of "Elf in the Clouds", it means that the album is half successful.
During the meal, Chen Shuo said to Liu Xiaoli: "Auntie, Sissi is on the right track in the recording, and then the two of us should think about how to shoot the MV." ”
"What do you think?" Liu Xiaoli put down the porridge bowl and asked.
"Twelve songs, twelve MVs, but the main thing is the three title songs."
Chen Shuo thought for a while and said: ""The Elf of the Clouds" is best based on narrative stories, I plan to use computer special effects to make a small video, and I will find someone to get it later."
We mainly choreographed "Flying in the Sky" and "The World".
According to the gist of the lyrics and the artistic conception of the song, two dances were choreographed as the theme, and then combined with the picture of Sissi's singing recording, these two MVs were completed. ”
