Chapter 47(1/2)
"Hey, Xiaomei, come here, I'm going out for a business."
After calling Zhen Baimei, Linda originally planned to take her to the cultural center of the city.
But while searching for relevant information, Linda accidentally saw a piece of news.
"Greece's national treasure orchestra - Greek Alexander Orchestra came to our city to hold a special concert, and there are the last five! Please seize the opportunity to buy tickets..."
This news instantly attracted Linda's attention.
Two music I prepared to make, whether it is "You Will Return Like Lightning" or another one.
They are all very closely related to Greek culture.
We were going to find someone to play the music, but now the Alexander Orchestra happens to be here in China to perform. Isn’t it God’s will to arrange it?
How can the orchestra you find in a cultural center or an agent be more authentic than others!
So Linda decisively asked Zhen Baimei to contact him to see if she could ask the Alexander Orchestra to conduct some additional commercial activities.
Through the relationship between the domestic organizers, Linda has also successfully joined the link there.
The two parties agreed to have tea together.
Lin Da brought Zhen Baimei and Xu Lingying out to take them to see the world.
The representative of the organizer is Manager Li. As a commission-at-intermediary, he is naturally very enthusiastic about Linda.
But on the side of the Alexander Orchestra, their leader, a little white-bearded man, seemed not very interested in the additional business cooperation.
Although he came to the teahouse to meet Linda for the sake of hosting.
But it can be seen that Captain Alexander doesn't really want to come.
"Manager Li, please translate it. My band will have a rehearsal at 3:00 pm. If anything happens, we will do it as soon as possible."
After listening to the translation, Linda directly explained the purpose of the trip.
"We are Aixi Game Studios. We are planning to develop a Byzantine-themed game recently and we plan to write two songs for the game."
"We have already written the song, and the tunes and lyrics are ready."
"However, in terms of recording, we have tried electronic synthesis and invited several professional orchestras that are well-known in the industry."
"But because both songs are very historically heavy, ordinary bands cannot show it."
"It just so happens that your Alexander Orchestra is here, and I thought that since it is Byzantine music, it must be your professionalism."
"Recorded with a Greek band with original flavor will surely produce better results and make our game better."
"Of course, the price is easy to negotiate."
Linda proposed his own ideas.
I originally thought that everyone was doing business and earned money if they had money.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the Alexander Orchestra seems to be a bit of an old artist and looks a little bit disliked by the game?
I saw the Alexander leader saying: "It is naturally good to have the opportunity to cooperate with business."
"But our Alexander Orchestra is well-known throughout the industry and globally, and has been able to last for decades because of our strict control over the quality of music."
“We are having a show now and may not have much time to record game music in the near future.”
"Actually, there were game companies asking us to perform soundtracks for the game before, but we all declined."
"You know, we have high requirements for music."
"I heard from Mr. Lin that you have already composed the music, but you just want us to play it?"
"Although I don't play games very much, I also know that the music quality in the gaming industry is generally average, mainly electronic synthesis technology."
"I wonder what kind of song the music score you provided by Mr. Lin will be?"
"Music is a noble art. If the corresponding game music cannot reach a noble level, it will lower the overall quality of our orchestra..."
Unexpectedly, things didn't go well!
Originally, Linda thought that everyone was a commercial organization, and as long as the price was negotiated, it would be OK.
But now it seems that the Alexander Orchestra is not very keen on giving the game soundtrack.
Because people are very suspicious, Linda's gaming music level is very average.
Soundtrack for a regular music in a regular game.
But it will ruin their reputation as making only high-quality products!
To put it bluntly, the overall level of the game industry of Parallel Blue Star is too low, and the game soundtrack is also very savage and rough.
For a long time, gaming music has been almost synonymous with inferior synthetic music.
The Alexander Orchestra has been playing art for decades, and it belongs to the upstream of the artistic contempt chain.
Some of them look down on the soundtrack for the game.
What's more, it's a score provided by a game company.
How good music can a game company play?
Seeing that the scene was a bit stiff, the organizer Manager Li quickly pulled Commander Alexander out, as if he wanted to chat alone.
Zhen Baimei also asked Lin Da with some embarrassment: "Mr. Lin, have we... been rejected? It seems that these art-playing people look down on us games?"
Lin Da shook his head calmly and said to Zhen Baimei softly: "This world's chain of contempt always exists."
"It's like the same music circle, there is also a chain of contempt inside."
"It is normal for the existence of the contempt chain. Although our gaming industry is known as the ninth art, it must also admit that the current game has a relatively low position in the contempt chain."
"And what we have to do is change this."
"I watched that Alexander performance. They are indeed very strong and have crazy capital."
"But he is definitely not the kind of noble and corrupt scholar, nor does he have no intention of cooperation."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't come at all."
"He is willing to come, which proves that the Alexander Orchestra doesn't mind making extra money during the performance."
"Especially, we have music scores now. The band only needs to rehearse a few times to complete the performance, which is very easy to make money."
Zhen Baimei asked in confusion: "Since he is willing to cooperate, why is he so arrogant? Is it a means of negotiation?"
Linda nodded.
"Of course it's a means of negotiation."
"Let the noble Alexander Orchestra sound the music of your game music of unknown standards?"
"Can."
“But you have to add more.”
Linda could see Captain Alexander's mentality at a glance.
This is a very strong and somewhat arrogant musician.
At the same time, he didn't mind making extra money by making money.
But the premise is...or this extra money level is high.
Or the extra money is really big.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to just use the money to knock it out!
Linda personally prefers this method.
But after learning about their value and daily commercial performance income, check the funds in the system account.
Linda feels that Aich's current strength is not enough to use money to knock people out.
It’s not that Linda is reluctant to give up money.
The key is that the money is really not enough!
And it is impossible to give all the money to the orchestra.
There must be some funds left for subsequent game development.
The price given by Aixi can only be based on the market price.
The price is not beautiful, and it is also a soundtrack for the game that despises the chain. Maybe it will make a low-profile work, and it will also have to be known as the gimmick of the Alexander band's soundtrack.
If Linda was Alexander himself, he might refuse.
After listening to Linda's words, Zhen Baimei suggested: "Since we have a small budget and we are unwilling to cooperate, we might as well find a cheap small band, or simply make it electronically synthesized."
"Anyway, we have the song, so it should be easy to synthesize."
"Games, music doesn't matter."
Lin Da sighed and looked at Zhen Baimei with compassion.
"Oh, the music of the game is not important?"
