Chapter 41: The First Album, "State of Mind"
The next day, Zhang Fan, who had nothing to do, returned to the studio with his little assistant Wang Yao.
In the studio. Zhang Fan checked the summary of the information exchanged in the past two days, and found that there was still not much money for some commercial performances such as opening ceremonies, and Zhang Fan was really not interested.
And Zhang Fan is not interested, the main reason is not how much money is given, but that he can't increase his fame. No increase in fame. It doesn't make sense to me, not to mention that a performance is only three or four thousand yuan, which is really too low, and I have a round-trip ticket for going out. The rest is almost unprofitable.
If you rely on this way to support the current studio, Zhang Fan is estimated to not be able to support it for a few months, and the studio will go out of business.
See here. Zhang Fan sighed. Then he called and chatted with his agent Wang Tao for a while. In the words, Wang Tao also said that he was contacting Zhang Fan to be a resident guest on a variety show, but the current itinerary is not very good, and no phased progress has been made.
Zhang Fan also knew that Wang Tao's man did not have start-up capital in his hands, and he did not have it himself a while ago.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan said: "Brother Tao signed the contract with the goose factory yesterday, and the money should be able to arrive today, and after the account arrives, you will be given a part of the past, so that you can do the activity funds." ”
Zhang Fan finished speaking. Wang Tao was silent on the phone for a while, and then said yes, and then hung up the phone.
Zhang Fan knew why Wang Tao was silent, and he didn't continue to talk to him.
Wang Tao is his agent, before signing himself, he still felt that he was still very good and could find the resources that Zhang Fan needed, so he dared to ask for a high share when he signed a contract with Zhang Fan, and it turned out that Zhang Fan gave it, but now he didn't get the right resources for Zhang Fan.
So now Wang Tao feels a little embarrassed and can't stand Zhang Fan.
But Zhang Fan actually understands very well that Wang Tao is not not doing his best, but the people in the past, because of Wang Tao's reputation, many people now don't recognize him.
And now Wang Tao has no money in his hands, so many things can't be discussed at all.
Why do you say that there is no money? That's because when Wang Tao left, Wang Yao went to book a plane ticket for Wang Tao, and occasionally saw that the balance in his WeChat was only 2,000 yuan.
And for the sake of face, Wang Tao knew that Zhang Fan had no money in his hand at that time, so he didn't ask Zhang Fan for money.
Wang Tao, who has no money and no reputation, how can it be so easy to do something.
This is also why Zhang Fan is not optimistic about Wang Tao. Go and give him the reason for the run. However, because Wang Tao is an agent, Zhang Fan can't stop him, after all, it is the agent's job to find a notice for the artist.
When Zhang Fan was pondering, Wang Yang had already excitedly walked over and whispered: "Boss, the funds of the goose factory have all been in place, what are your next arrangements?" ”
Zhang Fan looked at the sky outside the window and muttered: "The goose factory is quite fast this time, it's just 9:00 when I went to work, and I called the money." ”
But having said that, the sooner he could get the money, Zhang Fan would be able to do some of the things he wanted to do earlier. Thinking of this, Zhang Fan said: "First transfer 200,000 yuan to Brother Tao, and then my music album will start to be on the agenda, now find a good recording studio, and we will record songs." ”
After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Wang Yao immediately saluted and said, "Okay, Brother Zhang, I'll go and prepare immediately." After speaking, Wang Yao left in a hurry, looking very happy.
Seeing Wang Yao's happy appearance, Zhang Fan couldn't help but shake his head, to say that Wang Yao is also in his 20s, why is he still a child's temper?
However, things have been arranged, and Zhang Fan has to start preparing for his affairs.
Zhang Fan returned to his room and began to write the scores of the songs he had sung in his notebook, and he also had to rearrange these songs, marking which paragraph? Which instrument is used? Which segment needs to be cooperated? It was a good experience.
Because of this kind of thing, Zhang Fan himself worked in the house for two days before he finished sorting out the arrangements of all the songs he had sung, which was still in his memory, and he could only make them so quickly when there were originally those songs arranged.
If you ask a person to make an arrangement for a new song, it is simply impossible to listen to it without a few days of adaptation test auditions, and even sometimes, the complete arrangement of a song may take a month or two, which is not something that has never happened.
It's just that Zhang Fan took advantage of the convenience of listening to these songs so quickly.
Walking into the studio next door, Zhang Fan saw Wang Yao who was processing the information of the past few days at a glance, and Wang Yao also saw Zhang Fan stand up from the computer and said: "Brother Zhang, the recording studio has already set it for you, the fee is 800 per hour, or according to the song, a song is 10,000, which specific charging method is used?" It's up to you to decide. ”
"Okay, let's go over and start recording now, and record this album as soon as possible." I heard that I had already contacted the studio, and I just waited for my own decision. Zhang Fan no longer hesitated to decide to record the song as soon as possible.
"By the way, brother, this episode of the Chinese restaurant has been broadcast, and the response has been very good, and many people have found Weibo comments to let you release the album as soon as possible."
"In addition, Brother Tao just sent a message saying that although the episode he was going to run before was not done for you, there was an unexpected joy that he connected you with another variety show, and asked you to be a regular guest, called "Fifty Miles of Peach Blossom Dock", but Brother Tao didn't make a decision for you, let me ask you."
Zhang Fan pondered for a moment and recalled the variety show he had watched.
"Fifty Miles of Peach Blossom House" is a reality show that tells the story of a group of people building their ideal homes in the suburbs. The program cycle is not too long, and the guests in each episode are all newcomers except for one or two heavyweights, which is quite suitable for newcomers like themselves.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan said: "Since there is an announcement, let Brother Tao settle down, let's finish recording my album as soon as possible, try to make it before the Peach Blossom House opens, and by the way, promote it over there." ”
Zhang Fan recorded the songs very quickly, but it took Zhang Fan three days to record a satisfactory set of albums for eight songs, at least in terms of singing, he was relatively satisfied.
After the song is recorded, the rest of the promotion and sales are Wang Tao and Wang Yang's affairs, and Zhang Fan will no longer participate.
And tomorrow is the time for Peach Blossom House to enter the group, and Zhang Fan will also start to prepare.
It's just that Zhang Fan hasn't left yet, Wang Yao. has already grabbed Zhang Fan and said: "Brother, we haven't decided on the name of this album yet, it's going to be released tomorrow, you hurry up and think of a name." ”
Because Wang Tao did not return to the studio and was still pulling other lines for Zhang Fan, most of the decisions in the studio needed to be handled by Zhang Fan personally, and the name of the album needed to be decided by Zhang Fan himself.
Zhang Fan looked back at Wang Yao's expectant gaze, felt the touch on his hand, and then whispered two words.
"State of mind."
