Chapter 121 Go ahead, develop!
It's bitter!
After Chu Yue participated in that event, except for recording and writing songs, he almost always put all the other moments on training! How did that sentence come to say that, overthrow the three mountains of feudal society. Chu Yue doesn’t want to overthrow his master now, but he really wants to move away from this mountain!
In addition to a certain period of time, he has to hang his voice and practice singing skills every day, but also practice martial arts. This is simply an inhumane life. He would rather go out to shoot advertisements or do some other work now. Unfortunately, Luo Xinzhong has not arranged too much work for him these days - he is also preparing for that game!
Advertisement, of course, don’t rush. After "Fastline Service 2: Olympic Storm" is released, as long as the box office is not bad, his net worth will definitely increase! However, speaking of this, Luo Xinzhong is very proud. Chu Yue’s career has risen steadily! If he wasn’t embarrassed, he would still want to ask for the modification of his contract with Jiasheng after "Fighting Movement"!
How popular is a star? It depends on the degree of pursuit of the media, and the number of fans! With several very successful hypes, Chu Yue is now well-known to the level of first-tier stars, but there is still a certain gap in the number of fans!
Of course, the third thing is to look at the price! There have been several concerts in the mainland recently, and the organizers want to invite Chu Yue, who is very popular recently! Luo Xinzhong offered Chu Yue at least 300,000 yuan at a time. If you sing two songs in a concert, it will cost 400,000 yuan!
During these games, Lin Ling quickly denied the Shanghai show. Shanghai people are very rational. New singers like Chu Yue who are not in class (not in level) will probably not have a good ending. However, in a game in Hunan, Chu Yue can participate!
According to Lin Ling's idea, Chu Yue shouldn't have been allowed to participate. Chu Yue is now famous, but the number of fans is far from enough. Even if he only released a big album and was busy walking, that is definitely not a good way. She was not opposed, but Chu Yue's current fan group has not stabilized yet, and it is definitely thankless to do these things.
During these days, Chu Yue didn't have much work, but the training was getting heavier! Every day when he got home, he almost ended up sleeping! The morning training was so life-threatening, and it would only be relaxed at noon. Chu Yue took this time to discuss the issue of the new song with Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng.
Including "Fighting Movement", his new album has four songs he created. Among them, "Highing" and the other one are inferior, but "Wandering Winter" which was renamed "First Snow" is the main theme. How to form an album for the four songs is a headache for Lin Rui.
In fact, they all know the reason why Lin Rui, the producer, was a headache. Chu Yue's first album was at that level, and the second album must not be bad, otherwise the popularity would be afraid of not rising but falling. However, the first album had four high-level songs, and this time it was really a dilemma for Lin Rui.
Among the songs I received, I only selected a few songs with appropriate styles, but found a good song that could be used as the main theme. But it was not enough, so Lin Rui had to come and chat with Chu Yue and let him write a few more good songs no matter what, at least one more song, that would be enough.
However, Lin Rui flashed his spirit and saw Chu Yue being trained like a refugee, and he came up with a new idea: "Why not try to compose from the perspective of kung fu? This may be a very good subject!"
After this awakening, Chu Yue's heart moved, which makes sense! If the pain of practicing martial arts can be expressed through music, it would be a good idea. When I mentioned this to Lin Rui, Lin Rui immediately slapped his thigh: "Good idea, A Yue, you can do this! But, you must change the angle!"
The so-called changing angle actually means using different angles when composing and arranging music. Some songs can make people want to sing along as soon as they hear them, while some songs can make it difficult for people to sing along with them. This is the difference in angles, which is somewhat similar to the shooting techniques of movies!
It makes sense to think about it. If Chu Yue didn't change his angle to compose the song, maybe the fans would be immediately overwhelmed by this huge pain as soon as they heard it. Thinking of this, he changed his mind. Why should he directly convey the pain? Perhaps it is better to use hard work and sweat to set off his final achievements!
After a few rounds of thought, the song written by the hardships of practicing martial arts gradually shifted its focus to other aspects! Chu Yue's mind moved slightly, and his inspiration was like a tide. He closed his eyes and hummed a tune that came out of his mind, bumping and intermittently. However, with his gradual supplement and improvement, it became the chorus part of a song. Since there was a chorus part, the next one was much easier!
People often think that the chorus is the best essence, but they don’t know that most of the composers have the tune of the chorus part, and then make other parts based on the chorus to perfect the entire song! On the surface, this may not be too difficult, but Zhao Jinsheng is very clear that it is not too difficult to improve with the chorus. What’s difficult is how to make other parts the essence, rather than the garbage that can be heard or not!
To be honest, Chu Yue needs inspiration to create the essence of the chorus, but he can't help but alternating the tunes in his mind until the tune perfectly presents the effect he wants. Therefore, the songs he created are different from other songs, the level of the whole song is very stable, and no other parts appear, and only the wonderful things in the chorus!
However, at this moment, Chu Yue didn't think about those things. He just focused his mind, as if he had completely returned to the era of hard-working martial arts! Thinking that he was playing tricks like singing chickens to dance in modern times, thinking that he practiced his steps on wooden stakes, and once he hit his crotch and almost inseparable from his descendants!
Thinking of the majestic gangsters outside the school after he finished his art, he chased the other party and fled for several streets! A smile gradually appeared on his face. Practicing martial arts was really hard, but what he obtained after hard work was more precious and more fulfilling. The more difficult it was, the greater the sense of accomplishment! It was like he was in the entertainment industry!
He suddenly opened his eyes, but saw Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng both looked happy. Lin Rui stood up and patted Chu Yue on the shoulder hard: "You are so perverted. Almost every poem can be above the level, which is amazing!"
"I'm so jealous of you!" Zhao Jinsheng sighed and felt deeply. He accepted his fate now, and probably he still doesn't have the talent to compose. At least, he felt that Chu Yue really has a very alternative talent in composing: "You definitely don't know that the songs you made this time can be divided into two songs!"
Chu Yue was shocked and looked at Lin Rui. Lin Rui nodded vigorously, and was very happy: "Yes, the song you started out as a slow song, as if you were sweating, it felt very hard! Later, I felt completely relaxed. Gradually, it turned into a fast song, a very breathtaking fast song!"
There is something like this? Chu Yue dared not imagine it. This is because he is ignorant. In order to get a good song, some composers and even producers have split the tune of one song into two songs. Besides, what he accidentally wrote was originally two songs!
However, with these two songs, the situation is very different! Lin Rui was so happy that he scratched his head. After thinking about it, he felt that these two songs were very outstanding and the style was consistent with the style of this new album. It is necessary and necessary to use it! In this way, he can take out "First Snow" and put it on the third album. As long as there are these five very strong songs on this album, it will be enough to take shape.
It’s not that Lin Rui praising Chu Yue, he dares to assert that "First Snow" is Chu Yue’s highest-level work so far, and it will inevitably become a classic love song! Such a classic, just put in one album and a few songs, is enough to sell it, and there is no need to waste it on this second album.
Moreover, this new album currently has "Fighting Movement" and "Up Yang" and one received, as well as the two songs written by Chu Yue now. Especially the slow songs in the two songs written now, in terms of art and singing standards, they will definitely be much higher than "Up Yang". However, he knew that songs with high artistic value like this may not necessarily be very popular, but that fast song has a great chance of becoming popular!
In Lin Rui's mind, Chu Yue's new album was basically taken. He thought quickly, finalized the remaining few songs on the album, and finally confirmed eleven songs for this album. There was one more song, but Lin Rui felt that if he put it in, it would definitely affect the overall quality of the album, so he just eliminated it!
After judging again, he couldn't help but hesitate. When should this album be released? Now, when the album is completed, it will be around Christmas. However, he also thinks that these songs do not seem to be suitable for Christmas, or it is also good to choose New Year's Day release!
I went back to discuss with Jiasheng Company and felt that Christmas is indeed not suitable for releasing this tough album. However, Wu Jiahua suggested that it would be better to release it after "Flight Service 2: Olympic Storm", so that I could take advantage of the trend of this drama. Of course, if this drama fails in the box office, the record will naturally be postponed!
"But, there is not much time left before October! In less than twenty days, it will be very rush to record the remaining six songs!" Lin Rui thought of Chu Yue's martial arts practice every day, and knew that Chu Yue had a headache!
Wu Jiahua also had a headache. In fact, the five or six songs in the album have been recorded during this period. It is not difficult to record the remaining few songs! What is difficult are some tedious things, such as publicity, and distribution.
Tong Weiyuan slapped the table with a palm: "Then it will be released in October, and it will be mobilized to do it. We must teach this album to maintain a high level. In terms of publicity fees, we need not save it, and we will make a budget as soon as possible!" Tong Weiyuan of course had the confidence to say this. The single sales of "Fighting" reached one million, which made Jiasheng earn a lot of money. No matter how bad the sales volume of this album is, it will not be much worse!
When Wu Jiahua and the others left, Tong Weiyuan immediately dialed a string of numbers: "Mr. Zhang, I am Tong Weiyuan. Chu Yue is going to release a movie in October. Are you interested in getting the overseas distribution rights?"
It is not so easy for Tong Weiyuan to spend so much money to promote it, and Jiasheng Company is so small! The fact is that Chu Yue’s last album was sold quite well in Europe and the United States. Of course, it was mainly sold to Chinese people, which also made him a small profit!
After hanging up the phone, Tong Weiyuan leaned on the boss's chair for a long time. Universal Records once wanted to buy the cover rights of "Fallen" from them to sing for its European singers. However, considering that Chu Yue's singing skills are not good enough now, if there is an English version, it would be not good to compare Chu Yue's singing skills. Moreover, the copyright is still in the hands of Chu Yue and Lin Rui, and he cannot make the decision.
This move made him see some hope, that is, Chu Yue may not have no hope of entering the European and American markets! At least, the songs that Chu Yue, Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng collaborated on are of high quality, and even in Europe and the United States, where the record industry is very developed, they are of considerable standards. If Chu Yue can enter Europe, it would be wonderful.
Of course, he knew very well how ethereal the hope of Chinese singers entering the European and American markets was, but this was not important. What was important was that he felt that Jiasheng Company might not be able to accommodate the great god Chu Yue, and perhaps it was time to strengthen Jiasheng's financing...
With the achievements of "Fallen Heart" and "Fighting Movement", Jiasheng Company has to be very confident in negotiating with major distribution companies. No matter what, there are too few singers who can sell singles for millions these days, which has no data on water! Moreover, with "Fighting Movement" as the foundation, how bad can this album be!
So, while Chu Yue was busy practicing martial arts and recording songs, Jiasheng Company started negotiations with major companies. It was not that Tong Wei originally wanted to discuss, but that Jiasheng Company only had a local distribution network, and other companies had to rely on other companies for issuance!
At the same time, Lin Ling, as a businessman, keenly noticed a business opportunity and immediately contacted shareholders of first-tier companies - including Lin Huainan and the heads of three large consortiums.
Lin Ling, hiding in the room, stared at the computer screen and smiled slightly: "Dear major shareholders, I think I have discovered a good business opportunity in Hong Kong, which requires your support!"
