"When Director Zheng comes, tell him that I am in the recording studio."
"By the way, please contact Miss Xu Chujing and ask her to come to the recording studio."
Chen Ming exchanged a few words with the front desk.
The lady at the front desk wrote them down one by one.
After finishing,
Chen Ming came to the recording studio first.
The recording studio is still empty today!
Chen Ming was already used to it. He sat on the sofa on one side and opened his laptop.
Ten minutes later,
Xu Chujing hurried over.
"Brother Chen, I'm late."
Xu Chujing stood aside, not daring to sit down.
Now Chen Ming's status in the company is second only to Zheng Rong, and artists in all branches have heard about song writing, and they are even more interested in Chen Ming.
Qu Daddy!
In the eyes of branch artists, Chen Ming is a real Qu dad.
Much better than those music producers who are not in the company all year round!
More importantly,
Chen Ming had previously written a song "First Dream" for Xiao Xuan.
In the end, it even topped the August New Songs Chart.
This made the artists in all branches agitated!
Instead of waiting for the few songs produced by the musicians in the company only a year, it is better to seize the opportunities that are available.
From yesterday to now,
Xu Chujing has already sent away a group of artists from the same company.
she believes,
It was the same situation with Cheng Qiang and Yuan Keqing.
Chen Ming looked at the restrained Xu Chujing and thought of Xiao Xuan back then. Xiao Xuan's character was very suitable for polishing in the music industry.
Xiao Xuan doesn't have stage fright, let alone flatter Chen Ming too much because of his creative talent.
This is what Chen Ming admires most about Xiao Xuan.
By contrast,
Xu Chujing seemed too resigned.
Chen Ming sighed: "We are colleagues in the company, you don't need to be so nervous, just relax."
certainly,
You can’t blame Xu Chujing too much.
Her status in the company is not as good as Xiao Xuan's, so naturally she depends on other people's opinions in many aspects.
After living like this for a long time, I developed my current character.
Chen Ming didn't say anything more, but asked her to sit down first.
Xu Chujing carefully reached Chen Ming's side and looked at Chen Ming's profile from time to time.
"Want some water?"
Chen Ming asked.
He saw that Xu Chujing had been sweating and seemed anxious to rush over.
Xu Chujing hurriedly replied: "I will do it myself."
Not only that,
Xu Chujing also poured Chen Ming a glass of boiled water.
After a brief rest,
Chen Ming began to introduce the content of the new song.
"The new song I wrote for you is called "Courage"."
The song title is very ordinary.
But Xu Chujing suddenly became serious.
The composer of the song "Courage" is a singer that everyone is familiar with, Guangliang.
This song is also Guangliang’s first full-length solo single composed for Liang Jingru after her solo career.
Chen Ming plans to follow Guang Liang's approach.
When Guangliang composed this song, he sang along throughout the song and would make timely modifications based on the characteristics of Liang Jingru’s voice.
Chen Ming thought he could give it a try.
He has received professional training at Yuncheng University for a period of time, so he now has a certain understanding of music.
As a healing love song,
Liang Jingru was planning to start a new relationship at the time.
Therefore, there are very few sad emotions in her singing, and every line is full of hope and longing for future love.
at this point,
Xu Chujing probably couldn't do it.
"The vocal range set by this song is a-d3."
"You could try rising major in 2/4 time."
"There are no real or false sounds in the whole song. Only the climax part may rise slightly. If you want to control it perfectly with your voice, it's not a big problem."
Every time Chen Ming said something, Xu Chujing nodded seriously.
After a few minutes,
Chen Ming took a sip of water and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"there is none left."
Xu Chujing shook her head for the first time.
Chen Ming nodded: "Then let's listen to the song demo now."
"I have basically completed the lyrics and composition, but in terms of composing the music, I need to think more carefully and see which instruments are better to incorporate."
Xu Chujing nodded again.
Chen Ming clicked on the audio file on his laptop.
The guitar sounds melodiously.
originally,
The song begins with a piano.
However, when Chen Ming records song demos, he usually only uses guitar.
A song ends.
Chen Ming asked: "How do you feel?"
The recording studio is extremely quiet.
Chen Ming frowned slightly, he found that Xu Chujing was distracted.
Without any choice,
Chen Ming could only pat Xu Chujing on the shoulder.
for a moment,
Xu Chujing came back to her senses, her whole face turned red with embarrassment, like a ripe apple: "Sorry, I was distracted."
Chen Ming said softly: "Do you need to listen to it again?"
Just at this time,
The door to the recording studio was pushed open.
Zheng Rong strode in, sat next to Chen Ming very familiarly, and asked excitedly: "Has the new song been written?"
"It's probably coming out. I'll think about the details later."
Chen Ming answered with a smile.
Before Xu Chujing could speak, Zheng Rong looked very expectant.
"Do you have a sample of the song? I'll listen to it."
Chen Ming clicked play again.
this time,
Xu Chujing listened very carefully!
After a few minutes,
The song slowly stopped.
Chen Ming then spoke: "The overall melody will not change. You can practice more in the next period of time."
"Ask me if you don't understand anything."
Hearing the words,
Xu Chujing nodded as if pounding garlic.
Brother Chen’s original work must be a masterpiece!
This song "Courage" continues Chen Ming's high-quality creative style as always, and is even slightly better than the previous "First Dream".
But because of this,
Xu Chujing was distracted just now.
She was afraid that the song was too expensive and she couldn't afford it in installments...
actually,
She has another option, which is to sell the house that Chen Ming currently rents to Chen Ming.
But she felt that Chen Ming might not like him.
Thinking of this,
Xu Chujing pinched the corners of her skirt and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chen, how much does this song cost?"
"I want to...buy it in installments."
The matter of buying songs,
There is neither opposition nor support within the company.
In terms of fees, the artist needs to negotiate with the creator himself, and when the song is finally released, it must be marked that the production company is the artist's company.
This is considered a treaty of overlord!
But this is the default unspoken rule in the circle, and it is not considered a shameless behavior.
Even a little queen like Xiao Xuan spent hundreds of thousands to buy "The Original Dream" from Chen Ming, and labeled it Xingyu Entertainment when it was released.
Chen Ming was not surprised at all.
This is something that I had agreed with Xu Chujing before.
What Chen Ming needs to consider is, how much should he charge for this song?
Before,
Chen Ming wrote a song for Xiao Xuan and received only a symbolic payment of 400,000 yuan.
But the quality of the song is still above "Initial Dream", and he and Xu Chujing don't have much relationship in private.
The asking price was low, and Chen Ming felt uncomfortable;
If you charge a high price, you seem to be taking advantage of others.
for a time,
Chen Ming was very confused.
On the other side, Zheng Rong was stunned.
He has been in this industry for so many years, and this is the first time he heard that you can buy songs in installments...
