Lao Huang hummed against the score, and it felt okay. Although the title of the song is sad, the melody is quite brisk.

He didn't complain anymore.

After humming along for a while, Disco suddenly remembered that their group doesn't seem to have a name yet, and the name of the group won't be the same as these two songs, right?

"Brother Huang, what's the name of our combination?"

Lao Huang said confidently: "I'm Huang Wei, you are Doug, let's call the Zodiac auspicious day combination!" I've found someone to calculate, and this name will definitely be popular! ”

Although he has been nurtured by Guo Meifeng, who loves feudal superstition, for many years, Disco has always been a staunch materialist.

However, since he met the old blind man who was quite evil in the Lama Temple, he was in a state of "rather believing what he had".

Therefore, when he heard that Lao Huang had found someone to calculate, he swallowed back his objections.

Yu Tong reminded responsibly: "In case these two songs become your masterpieces, you two are likely to perform on stage in the form of a combination in the future, should you think about it again?" ”

People who don't know the situation still think that you two are going to go on stage......

The name is quite memorable, I'm afraid that the two of you will regret it in the future.

Disco crutches Lao Huang with his elbow, "Brother Huang, why don't we make it sound better?" My old lady knows a few masters, so you can ask her to come forward and ask the master to help us count one. ”

imagined the picture of them coming to the stage to announce the curtain, "Hello everyone, we are the zodiac auspicious day group, and today we bring you a new song "Love You Love You Really Love You"! ”

Just thinking about it can make your hairs stand on end.

However, Lao Huang is particularly fond of this name, "You think, there are so many singers on the market, and there are many forms of combinations. We don't have a special name, how can we stand out from the encirclement? Many good singers have been delayed by their names! ”

"Think about it again, if you really can't think of a good name, you can not choose a combination name. When the time comes, it will be written on the cover 'Huang Wei Di Douge's first music album'. Let people know who you are. ”

Yu Tong is actually quite democratic in this regard, as long as the actors themselves are satisfied, they generally will not strongly oppose it.

Anyway, it wasn't her who was embarrassed on stage.

Because of the new progress in the tape production, Lao Huang and Disco put more time into practicing chorus.

Lao Huang, who is not bad at money, even stopped all his performances at night, and focused on this album.

A good audio-visual publishing house will have a music director to help the actors arrange the album tracks, but Yu Tong has not yet negotiated with the publishing house in Tianjin, so they can only choose the songs themselves.

An audio cassette is about sixty minutes long.

They prepared twenty songs, six choruses and twelve solo songs in addition to the two original songs, which were so beautiful in title.

That is, fourteen songs should be prepared for each person.

Among them, there is also a new song "Say You Say Me" provided by Yu Tong.

It is said to be the theme song of the movie, and it just won the Oscar for Best Original Song on Lao Mei's side a few months ago.

There are already people in China who have picked up the tape, but the foreign language pronunciation is not very correct, and the response is not very good.

Yu Tong felt that since Di Ergou was learning foreign languages and sang foreign language songs well, he should make full use of this advantage and sing this new song with Lao Huang that has not yet flooded.

Time is tight, and in order to make the most of the time, Disco finds a tape recorder and puts it in his bicycle basket.

On the way to the dance hall and the café, follow the tape recorder to learn new songs.

On the way back to the dormitory after work, I listened to the tape of "Speaking Variety" to practice listening.

In his spare time, he saw the stitches and arranged it clearly.

Lao Huang thought his idea was very good, so he also got a tape recorder and carried it wherever he went every day.

Therefore, when Yu Tong made an appointment with the distribution salesman of "China Singing" and planned to take the Zodiac auspicious day group to the banquet, he received two young men who were carrying tape recorders.

The two of them carried tape recorders, exactly like those disco youths on the road, especially Lao Huang with an explosive head.

In order to be able to carry three people, Yu Tong specially borrowed the sidecar motorcycle of the external liaison director today.

As a result, Lao Huang, a big fat man, sat in a sidecar, holding a huge tape recorder in his arms, and sang passionately with Di Ergou on the way from the song and dance troupe to the restaurant.

Not only did it make her ears buzz, but it also earned the curious eyes of passers-by.

Even if he wanted to stay away from these two people, Yu Tong still had to fully respect the personality of the actors and go with them.

This dinner was because Yu Tong found some twists and turns, and finally caught up with the line.

The distribution salesman is named Zhong Xiaosha, who used to be a singer and actress in their song and dance troupe, but the age difference between the two is seven or eight years old.

Later, the record club, record factory, and record distribution company merged to establish "China Singing", Zhong Xiaosha naturally became an employee of "China Singing", and when China Singing was rectified in the first two years, she transferred to the distribution department and became a distribution salesman.

After all, there are some origins, and there are acquaintances to draw the line, and the two female comrades quickly greeted each other familiarly.

Hearing that Yu Tong had received an offer from China Singer, Zhong Xiaosha said enthusiastically: "We have our own publishing and distribution channels, and now we have expanded the scope of distribution, and we have branches in several major cities across the country. As soon as their tapes were released, people all over the country had the opportunity to buy them, and it was really a matter of minutes to become famous! ”

Lao Huang was said that her heart was hot, but thinking about the meager publication fee, she said embarrassedly: "Manager Zhong, the quotation given by your unit is too low, only 2,000 yuan for the first 200,000 copies." ”

The two thousand pieces must be taken away by the unit first, and one thousand pieces must be taken away.

The remaining 1,000 pieces were divided equally between the two, and each person received only 500 pieces.

After a toss, I haven't made much money from the performance.

Zhong Xiaosha said disapprerovingly: "You are newcomers, the first tape is mainly to expand popularity, with the endorsement of our singer, it will be much easier to come up with an album tape in the future." ”

Many newcomers who are not well-known have taken this path.

"Are you going to release a pure cover tape, or a new song?"

Yu Tong introduced their arrangement, "There are two new songs provided by the song and dance troupe's creation studio, and there are also internationally popular foreign language songs. ”

Zhong Xiaosha said with a smile: "Of the ten tapes on the market, eight are covers, if the level of the new song is passed, and the development department feels that there is potential, the price can be discussed." ”

Hearing this, Lao Huang and Disco immediately sang a new song "Love You, Love You, Really Love You" to the salesman.

Zhong Xiaosha has been carrying tapes to expand sales channels all year round, what kind of strange song names have you never seen?

These are small scenes for her.

After listening to the chorus of the two, they politely gave a round of applause.

"That's good, you can hand in the sample and talk about the price." Zhong Xiaosha reminded, "Before the new song is released, try not to sing it in public." Now the speed at which major companies are picking up the tape is unimaginable. Many of the excellent pieces sung at concerts and galas can be picked up and sent to the factory the same night, and then appear on the market the next day. ”

Yu Tong bowed her head, she had already told the two of them.

New songs must be practiced in private, even when sung in a group, behind closed doors.

There's no way, just like Zhong Xiaosha said, the speed of picking up the tape is too fast!

Previously, a director went to Shanghai to promote the film and sang two sentences of the theme song of the movie at the press conference.

People from record companies thought the song was good, so when they were watching the movie, they used recording equipment to record the theme song of other people.

After I went back, I found someone to cover it overnight, and I also imitated the appearance of the protagonist of the movie and took a tape cover.

It only took three days to get the movie theme song tape on the market.

With the explosion of the movie, this cover tape sold 700,000 copies, and the genuine tape of the movie was divided between two companies because the director did not know how to do it, and it took two months before it was officially launched, and only 200,000 copies were sold in the end.

No one has yet sold a cover well.

The publication and distribution of Chinese singing is one, and after the tape is filled, it can be released quickly, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"I'm going to take this year's new tape to the Canton Fair after a while, if you can record the master tape as soon as possible, maybe you can catch up with this Canton Fair." Zhong Xiaosha introduced, "Many of the newcomers' tapes are flowering inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall, and after being bought by foreign audio companies, they are sold well abroad." ”

Disco took the opportunity to ask: "Manager Zhong, does our 2,000 yuan buyout fee include the cost of overseas issuance?" ”

Although the possibility of their overseas distribution is slim, but what if!

"Generally, new singers don't think about overseas things, and few people pay attention to this when they sign a contract." Zhong Xiaosha said with a smile, "If the offer really can't be discussed, it is also a comfort for you to raise the conditions for overseas distribution." ”

Zhong Xiaosha gave her old club and the matchmaker a lot of face, and introduced a lot of precautions for publishing and distributing audio tapes to the three of them.

Under her recommendation, Yu Tong met the art director of the Beijing branch.

After listening to the two samples recorded in "Zodiac Auspicious Day", the Chinese singer gave an offer of 3,000 yuan for the first 300,000 copies.

Yu Tong adhered to the principle that if he did not mention the conditions, he would suffer a loss, and signed an additional contract with the other party for overseas distribution.

In the end, Lao Huang and Disco's debut novels were handed over to this old state-owned enterprise, which is currently the largest audio-visual publishing institution in the country.

*

The studio is equipped with the world's most advanced large SSL mixer, as well as a digital tape recorder.

At an average rate of 30 per month, he helped the actors record audio tapes.

In the past half a month, the recording studio has been fully booked, and Disco and Lao Huang were lucky, a foreign singer canceled the recording for a while, so they took the time of others and scheduled the recording of the chorus album five days later.

Since signing the contract, they have always been in a state of fluttering excitement.

In addition to practicing chorus together, they often go to the Chinese singing company to watch the recording process of other singers.

However, after his curiosity about the recording studio was gradually satisfied, Disco unexpectedly got a more exciting news when he chatted with the Chinese singing staff.

On this day, after breaking up with Lao Huang at the door of Zhongsing, Disco pedaled his bicycle desperately and rushed all the way back to Taipingli Hutong.

When I entered the yard, I leaned my bicycle against the wall and started shouting people everywhere.

"Second brother, fourth brother!"

Guo Meifeng leaned out of the window and asked, "What are you howling?" Something came in and said. ”

"What about my second brother?" Disko took off his shirt and went under the faucet to wash his face.

"I went to school in the morning to deliver textbooks to Xiaoliu, and by the way, I sent her some snacks." Guo Meifeng lay on the windowsill and chatted with him, "I'll go to sleep in the house when I come back." ”

"Doesn't Xiaoliu want to maintain her weight, don't always send her food." "The last time I gave her a cream cake, their teacher saw it and criticized me as if I was going to kill the flowers of my motherland." ”

Guo Meifeng listened with a smile, and the little girl's entry into the flight attendant class solved a piece of her heart problem.

Seeing that he was washing and washing, and he was almost busy with his work, he took out a freshly prepared watermelon for him to eat.

"It's October, so it's going to be the last batch of melons this year, right?" Disco nibbled on a watermelon, and called him second brother and fourth brother at the top of his voice.

Summoned by him, the two brothers came out of the house with their slippers, and each picked a piece of watermelon and asked, "What are you shouting?" Hurry up and say something. ”

"Second brother, fourth brother, you two have been staying at home?"

Don't say anything in front of the dwarf, Disco belongs to which pot is not opened.

The second brother was caught throwing his glasses a while ago, and Guo Meifeng never let him get those glasses again.

Even if it is not smuggled goods, it is inferior goods, and it is easy to be poked in the back.
