When Chen Ming left Zheng Rong's office, his eyes were full of resentment.
He is not convinced!
Why did Zheng Rong not need to write songs for artists when he was the music director? But when it was his turn to take office, he needed to do such an extra job!
In this regard,
Zheng Rong said frankly: "I can't write songs."
........
Very honest answer.
Chen Ming had no way to refute.
certainly,
Zheng Rong did not ask Chen Mingming to write songs. In addition to the music director's monthly salary, there was also an extra bonus, which was only given to Chen Mingming.
This time,
Chen Ming felt slightly better.
to be honest,
If Chen Ming didn't have a lot of inventory in his laptop, he would really not dare to take this position. After all, it is too difficult to make several artists famous.
Chen Ming himself is still only a second-tier artist, and he hasn't even become famous yet. It's outrageous that he actually wants to praise others.
After leaving Zheng Rong's office,
Chen Ming took a short rest and went straight to the recording studio.
You must open your voice before recording a song!
This is the rule!
Chen Ming sang one or two of his previous songs and felt that the condition of his voice was adjusted well, so he entered today's theme.
The song I’m going to record today is Linkin Park’s “numb”.
This song was released in 2003, and in 2011, it was selected as the "2011 League of Legends Global Finals Theme Song".
This is the battle song of s1!
However, "League of Legends" had just started that year, and not many people played it, so the gold content of the championship was not very high.
But this song blew up the audience!
even,
This song was more exciting and shocking than the competition at that time.
It is worth mentioning that,
This song is also a high-pitched song.
For Chen Ming, any song that requires the use of high notes is extremely challenging.
but
It's nice to challenge yourself occasionally.
The recording room was quiet, with only Chen Ming alone.
The artists in the branch did not know that Chen Ming had come to the company, so no one came to disturb Chen Ming.
"Huh~"
Chen Ming exhaled a breath of thick air.
Standing in front of the recording microphone, Chen Ming ran through the melody of the song in his mind before speaking slowly.
◤i'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless lost under the surface◢
The lyrics before the chorus are relatively peaceful.
The overall melody also foreshadows the chorus.
But before the official start of singing,
There is a new heavy metal instrument performance at the beginning of this song. This explosive intro needs to be recorded one by one after Chen Ming has finished recording the main song, and then added to the song.
This section is not stressful for Chen Ming.
but,
Chen Ming tried a little bit to add falsetto techniques.
It turns out,
You cannot use falsetto when singing this song, otherwise you will not be able to sing the chorus at all.
This new heavy metal music is different from "In the Name of the Father". Its overall melody is becoming more and more exciting and passionate, so it is easy to break the song if you use a falsetto.
Two hours later,
Chen Ming then walked out of the recording studio rubbing his throat.
Recording this song was really taxing on my voice!
Especially for someone like him who is not good at high notes, he needs to rest for a while every time he hits high notes.
Fortunately,
The songs are basically all recorded.
Next,
Chen Ming only needs to borrow the musical instruments from the company and add the parts that need to be recorded.
After working for a long time,
A brand new English song appeared on Chen Ming's laptop.
《numb》.
Lyricist: Chen Ming.
Composer: Chen Ming.
Mixed music: Chen Ming.
Vocals: Chen Ming.
It’s still the same as before: don’t let anyone else do it, and never ask others to do things you can do yourself.
After Chen Ming and Zheng Rong said hello, they left the branch company.
Seeing Chen Ming coming and leaving casually, many people in the branch looked enviously.
To Chen Ming, the branch is not like a company, but more like Chen Ming's home. He can come and leave whenever he wants. The key is that no one dares to say anything.
This is the privilege of an A-level artist!
certainly,
Even B-level artists can come and go as they please, but very few B-level artists do this.
The next step up from B-level artists is A-level, which are the little kings and little queens.
In order to leave a good impression on the company and get more resources, generally no B-level artist will choose to be a big name and not take the company seriously.
Chen Ming is an exception.
When he was a B-level artist, he was more casual.
The key is,
Zheng Rong doesn't care about Chen Ming. As long as Chen Ming can write a popular new song, then Chen Ming will do it.
If they also had Chen Ming's creative ability, then Zheng Rong would not care about them.
........
Return to Su's house.
Chen Ming called Xia Zhihe and asked for the mailbox.
Immediately, Chen Ming sent the recorded new song to Xia Zhihe's mailbox.
now,
Inside Yuncheng Hotel.
In Xia Zhihe's room, a group of grown men were waiting impatiently.
Chen Ming’s new song has been written!
and,
The entire song is in the Nanzhou dialect, which makes these Nanzhou people feel incredible that Chen Ming actually understands the Nanzhou dialect.
"Boss, if the song is not good, will we really pay you?"
"Four million for a song is easier than making money by playing games. I want to write songs."
"If you ask me, I'd give him a few hundred thousand at most. Considering that he's an A-level artist, let's be a little more generous."
"That's right, hundreds of thousands is as much as my annual salary for a year. He made it with blood!"
The group of people started chattering again.
The noise gave Xia Zhihe a headache!
The next second,
Xia Zhihe shouted in a cold voice: "If you keep making noise, get out of here. You have been pressing me ever since we came to Zhongzhou. When will you stop talking like this?!"
"Originally, the people of Central Continent are disgusted with us, but you are still pushing us hard. If you cannot open up the game market of Central Continent, we will all get out!"
"When the time comes, are you still thinking about an annual salary of hundreds of thousands?! Go to hell!"
Xia Zhihe rarely loses his temper.
This time,
The rest of the people shrank their necks and did not dare to speak anymore.
see the situation,
Xia Zhihe snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the mailbox on their laptops, waiting anxiously.
Why hasn't it been sent yet?
Xia Zhihe felt a little anxious.
Ever since Chen Ming informed him that the song demo had been recorded, he had been waiting in front of his notebook, waiting for the "ding" from the mailbox.
But half an hour has passed and the email has not responded.
Wrong email address?
Xia Zhihe thought about it and thought, no, when he read Chen Ming's mailbox just now, he repeated it three times, so he shouldn't have read it wrong.
even,
To be on the safe side, he edited a text message and sent it to Chen Ming.
wait,
It is always the most anxious.
I don't know why,
Xia Zhihe felt inexplicably nervous to the extreme.
In his heart, he still trusted Chen Ming's creative ability. He checked Chen Ming's information and found that every one of his previous songs was of very high quality.
But nothing is absolute!
What if Chen Ming overturns this time...
At this moment,
The clear beep that Xia Zhihe had been waiting for for so long finally rang.
