Chapter 9 Recording Songs

"I'm not very good at singing, but I have a pretty good song on hand!"

According to the classification of the system, songs that no one listens to even if they are sung are inferior songs. Songs that are of good quality but difficult to sell are medium-grade songs. Among them, there are no inferior songs in the system. There are relatively few medium-grade songs. Menjie got

My preference is the lowest level middle-level songs in the system.

After that, there are more classic songs that have a certain market, some top songs that are widely circulated and have great sales potential. As for the more advanced king-level songs, Menjie has not been exposed to them yet, so let’s not mention them for now.

Usually when an ordinary new singer releases an album, if he can put together four or five mid-level songs and one top-level song, he will be able to sell well. Although it is difficult to become a hit, he can still have a tepid release.

album.

The preference that Menjie has at hand is a good presence in a mediocre song. If it is posted online, it can indeed attract some fans, which will help to get a high-quality contract!

It happened that Menjie had put the song that was engraved in his mind into written form, and took it out of the script and handed it to Su Youpeng.

"Brother Youpeng, please help me see if it can be of some help if it is recorded!"

After taking over Menjie's song, Su Youpeng started to read it and frowned slightly, "Menjie, this song of yours...how should I put it? It is considered a middle-level song, with barely any potential for a top-notch song. It is a single."

If the situation is recorded, it will not be a problem to attract hundreds of fans, but it is impossible to become a hit!"

"If it can be recorded and your singing skills can be shown, I guess there will be no problem for Huayi Brothers to discuss raising the contract level!"

"By the way, I have a way!" Although she is not good at singing, she has released three singles. Jia Jingwen, who has a little knowledge, looked at Menjie's "Preference" and said, "It just so happens that this song has that

It has a classical feel, why not record this song and show it to Director Yang, maybe it can be used as an interlude in The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer!"

"It's a good idea. If it succeeds, it will also make Menjie somewhat popular. Moreover, no one in our crew is ready to sing the song of The Heaven and the Dragon Sword, so it's just right to leave it to Menjie!"

"Let's go over together and talk to Yang Tao!"

Worried that Menjie's submission of songs by himself would cause the director to ignore him, Jia Jingwen volunteered to go with Menjie. Su Youpeng, who was standing by, thought about it and realized that nothing happened, so he followed.

"Director Yang, are you free now? I have something to trouble you with!" Seeing Yang Tao looking at the script, Men Jie walked over and said.

"What's the matter?" Yang Tao raised his head and saw Men Jie, Jia Jingwen, and Su Youpeng coming over, and he was a little confused.

These days, even Yang Tao can't help but be shocked. Menjie's communication and affability are indeed good. Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen became friends in such a short time, which also made Yang Tao value Menjie even more.

In the entertainment industry, having connections is also a big advantage!

"It's like this. I wrote a song a few days ago and composed the music. It felt very suitable for the chivalrous atmosphere. I was wondering if I could record it and use it as the song of Heaven Slaying the Dragon!" Men Jie put it in his hands.

He handed over the lyrics and music of 'Preferred' and said cautiously, "If the theme song doesn't work, the ending song will also work!"

Yang Tao took the lyrics and music in his hand, glanced at it, then raised his head and turned to look at Su Youpeng, "What do you think of this song?"

As a director, Yang Tao didn't know much about songs, so he could only ask for help from Su Youpeng, who was relatively skilled in this aspect.

"This song is good. Usually costume TV dramas like ours need songs that are full of ancient love and knight-errant feeling. The theme song is probably a high-quality song, and the ending song is a middle-class song. This song by Menjie can be used as the theme song if I can force it.

It’s more than enough to serve as the ending theme, absolutely no problem!”

Su Youpeng did not side with Menjie and expressed his views exactly.

"Okay!" Yang Tao shrugged and looked at Menjie, "Are you going to sing this song yourself?"

"Of course! I wrote it myself, and of course I sang it myself!" Seeing that something was going on, Menjie nodded quickly and responded.

"Okay! In a few days, when you don't have any roles, find time to record it by yourself. After you finish recording, show it to me. If it works, I will give priority to your song!" With the help of Jia Jingwen and Su Youpeng,

, Yang Tao agreed very happily, and it was regarded as selling Menjie a favor.

Find time to record songs by yourself? Putting aside whether we can sing well without any guidance, renting a recording studio is a problem. It’s really hard for a hero to pay a penny.

Menjie had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead and looked at Yang Tao with some embarrassment, "Yang Tao, the recording studio where the song is recorded..."

"Director Yang!" Jia Jingwen stopped Menjie, "Don't worry about this! My brother will definitely complete the task properly!"

"That's good!" Yang Tao didn't doubt that he was there. After saying a few words, he turned around and left, starting the filming of the next scene.

"Sister, I'm going to take this opportunity to ask Director Yang to predict some salary for the film! Otherwise, I won't have the money to rent a recording studio!" Menjie said with a sad face.

"What's so difficult about this! Sister will take care of the recording of the song for you!" Jia Jingwen patted her chest, "Although your sister and I quit the music scene after singing three songs, I still know some people and will definitely let you record the song.

Okay! Besides, the difficulty of this song is not high, so it’s absolutely no problem!”

"Well... well, please, sister, I will treat you to dinner after I finish recording the song!" Men Jie thought for a moment, and Jia Jingwen, who has a good relationship with him, is naturally better than Yang Tao, so he nodded and agreed.

…………

"Sister, where is the recording studio you took me to? It looks so remote!"

After finally surviving for about half a month, she finally got a rare vacation. Jia Jingwen took Menjie to record the song Preference. Looking at the increasingly remote surroundings, Menjie felt like he was being sold.

.

"It's not all your fault! You have to wait until you make money to return it to me. I have no choice but to take you to a recording studio with a lower price!"

Jia Jingwen glared at Menjie, but she still gave people a charming feeling.

In the past half month, Jia Jingwen has brought breakfast and milk to Menjie every morning. The two have already become like siblings, and their favorability score has reached 99%. I believe that with a little stimulation, the relationship between the two will be restored.

Go further!

"Sister Jingmin, how much does it cost for me to record a song? Don't lie to me, otherwise I will be unhappy!" Menjie was about to start recording a song for the first time, and Menjie was feeling a little excited.

"The record industry in mainland China is not very prosperous now. For newcomers, selling tens of thousands of copies is considered good, and selling 100,000 copies is considered a big hit. Many young artists are afraid to record songs rashly, so the prices are still very low!"

"When recording original songs like yours, there is no accompaniment tape in the recording studio, so you have to record the accompaniment score first, and then record the song. Therefore, the process is cumbersome and the fee is expensive. It costs at least more than a thousand yuan. Basically, it is all in

Fifteen hundred dollars give or take.”

"In addition, the sound engineer I hired for you is quite capable. It costs 500 yuan a day, which adds up to about 2,000!" Jia Jingwen said casually without taking it to heart.

To be honest, Menjie's song is not a high-end song. If there is a high-quality song as the title song, and it is just one song in the album, it will be no problem to sell tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of copies after the album is released, but if

Think of this song as the title track…

Well, I'm afraid it will be impossible for Menjie to enter the music scene in the future.

Because of this, Jia Jingwen only regarded Menjie's song as a song she wanted to sell to the crew as the ending song, and didn't take it too seriously.

“Looks pretty good!”

Not long after, Men Jie's eyes suddenly opened up, and a recording studio appeared. It looked pretty good in scale, and it wasn't an antique that had been built for decades. After entering it, most of it was pretty good. Although it wasn't brand new, it was still pretty good.

Can be used.

"Zhao Jun, this is the brother I'm talking about. I'm sorry to trouble you today!"

Having already taken care of everything, Jia Jingwen introduced a gentle-looking man in his forties to Menjie.

"Brother, you can record songs with Zhao Jun here. I will come to pick you up in the evening. I will go back to filming first!"

Jia Jingwen still has a scene today, so being able to send Men Jie here is already a huge honor. Naturally, she can't let Men Jie delay the filming, so she turned around and left after a few instructions.

"Teacher Zhao, I'm going to trouble you today!"

Facing Zhao Jun, Menjie also handed over his preferred lyrics and music very respectfully.

"This song is pretty good! Although it's not as good as the best songs, it's not that different. It's pretty good for a newcomer."

After watching for a while, the experienced Zhao Jun roughly understood a lot and brought Menjie into the recording studio.

Although it was his first time to record a song, Menjie couldn't figure out other equipment, but as a singer, all he had to do was stand in the recording studio and sing. Menjie put on the headset a little awkwardly and faced Zhao Jun behind the glass.

Made an OK gesture.

"Let's try it out first and let me see how your level is!"

Hearing Zhao Jun's voice from the headset, Menjie took a deep breath. The voice slowly rose from low to high. After fully opening his throat, Menjie took out the lyrics and music sheet he carried with him, put the microphone to his mouth, and prepared

Started recording for the first time.

Menjie found this set of procedures online before, and felt that it might be of some use, so he used it today.

Seeing that Menjie was ready, Zhao Jun nodded, turned on various facilities, and the accompaniment slowly sounded in Menjie's ears.

"Void yesterday, now you are in front of me~ I want to love, please give me a chance!"

The appearance looks relatively childish, but after the voice comes out, there is a feeling of magnetism. Menjie has just sang less than two lines and was immersed in his own singing when the accompaniment stopped suddenly.
