From the dream-chasing showbiz to remake bad films

Chapter 40 Zou Shen and Sun Yanzi
Just now, at seven o'clock in the morning, under the sunshine, Pei Yang swaggered out of Chuanying holding the leave slip, while the freshman students showed envious eyes.

Chuanying is very strange. As a private institution, its access control is actually stricter than that of many public institutions during the first year of freshman year, which makes people wonder.But this has nothing to do with Pei Yang.

Pei Yang took the hitchhiker called and "entered the city".Well, Chuanying is in the county below Chengdu, and is still on the outskirts of the county.A trip to Chengdu is indeed "entering the city".

His destination was introduced by Brother Hu. At the Global Center, if Brother Hu hadn’t told him, he would have been hard to believe that a person who is now engaged in post-processing had actually studied music in France.

This recording studio was opened by a like-minded friend of Brother Hu when he was in France. The conditions cannot be said to be top-notch in the industry, but only top-notch in Chengdu.

But when he was on the phone with his boss, he was also shocked by the price.

The original words of the boss are very long. Anyway, the general idea is that professional ones are not cheap anywhere.

"Except for the three purely technical processes of recording, mixing, and mastering, it is impossible to have a fixed price for other production processes."

"For publication-level recording, a song must take at least 3-6 hours. It is only for melody and vocal recording. The mixing time for a song is about one week, and the mastering time is also within one week."

"The package price of a recording album starts at 6000/8 hours, and you have to have at least three or four days for an album of ten songs, which means that you probably need to spend close to 2 to pack 3-4 times for an 8-hour studio You can also negotiate a 12-hour shed time with the shed.”

"For mixing, it is based on the track and length. For example, within 5 minutes, 300/track, and a song will probably not be less than 20 tracks, except for folk songs or some special arrangements. Usually pop music, the drum set is already At least 10 tracks are occupied, depending on the recording method."

"There are also prices based on the first calculation, and the prices are uneven, ranging from 3000 to 10000. The price of the master tape is very transparent in the circle, because not many can be done well."

"3000-10000 per song, depending on the requirements and difficulty, world-class mastering masters, the average package price of the album ranges from 20k-100k."

"There are many unstable factors for the prices of arrangers and live-recording musicians. First of all, arranger involves the creative part, so the extent to which the arranger creates will also affect the price. The level, reputation, and mood of the live-recording musicians will affect the price. And you It is also possible that the song may not be to his liking and he may reject it directly.”

Anyway, after the big brother talked for a long time, Pei Yang only understood two things. First, it is impossible to be too cheap, at most a little cheaper. Second, when he can choose the album package, he can also choose to separate the singles. package time.

Pei Yang thought about it for a while, and decided to be lazy and save trouble. When he went directly to the album package, he really got dizzy listening to the introduction, so it's the most worry-free thing to do directly.

However, it will be done twice, one is for him to record himself, he promised Xia Yike to record two songs for her, and he also made an appointment on Sunday, next Monday and Tuesday for three days to record the movie.

At around nine o'clock, he met two newcomers, a man and a woman, whom his good sister Luo Sisi had found for him in front of the Global Center building.

The man's name is Zou Shen, and the woman's name is Sun Yanzi. Pei Yang slanders in his heart. When he hears the names of these two people and their looks, he feels that these two people must be strong.

He confidently handed the prepared sheet music to Zou Shen and Sun Yanzi.

For Zou Shen: "Sunny Day", "So I Never Forgot You", "Us", "The Unspeakable Secret", "Meteor Crashed into My Pocket"

For Sun Yanzi are: "Those Years", "To Youth", "The Years in a Hurry", "All Eyes Are You", "Little Lucky"

There are also two choruses: "The Wind Rises" and "A Little Sweet"

(Search for "Remake of Bad Movies from Chasing Dream Showbiz" on QQ Music for the song list)
And both of them have five songs for each person, plus two chorus songs.

He looked at the two people who started to read with the score, and felt very relieved. He looked at the time, and before it was time for his appointment, he said, "It's still early, let's find a coffee shop for a while." sit?"

The two of them came back to their senses and apologized again and again.

Pei Yang waved his hands indifferently: "It's okay, I'm also very happy that you are so serious."

Pei Yang took the two of them to find a coffee shop nearby.

Pei Yang ordered latte with a little oat milk, and the other two ordered plain water.

When the two fell into the score, Pei Yang also looked at the information of the two that Luo Sisi had sent him.

Zou Shen just graduated from the Lviv National Academy of Music Sciences this year. He is considered half an industry insider. This year's plan is to participate in an audition called "The Voice of China". It seems that he is the very fierce man.

And Sun Yanzi is a Singaporean amateur. Luo Sisi only met her because of her relatives. She just signed a contract with Warner, so she wanted to come to the mainland to look for opportunities, which is also very suitable for a hot "unknown" woman.

The information on the two of them is quite simple, and there are no representative works, but Pei Yang can still feel confident as long as he sees the familiar faces of the two of them.

After briefly reading the score, Zou Shen raised his question: "Pei..."

Zhou Shen was very embarrassed, looking at the boy who was younger than him in front of him, boy?For a moment he didn't know what to shout.

Pei Yang saw his embarrassment at a glance, and said with a smile: "Just call Director Pei."

Zou Shen regained his composure and said, "Director Pei, these songs of yours are really good."

"So I don't need money, but this time is a little too hasty," Zou Shen scratched his head embarrassingly.

"It's not that I don't have confidence, but it's true that the time is a bit too short."

Sun Yanzi nodded when she heard Zou Shen's words: "I don't have to pay, but the time is really short."

Pei Yang knew the worries of the two, and said with a smile: "I already have demos of these songs, you can listen to them, if you think the tune is good, you can sing along, but if you have a better interpretation method Change, but I have to make a decision."

Pei Yang paused, and then said: "However, the time really cannot be longer, our production is in a hurry."

Pei Yang pretended to be embarrassed, thought for a while and then gritted his teeth and said, "Well, you can take the score and study it, and I will also send you a sample for reference, but I made an appointment for the recording on Sunday, so at most you only have Four days."

"How?" Pei Yang was really "difficult".

The two looked at each other, and both nodded helplessly. After signing the contract with Pei Yang, they left in a hurry, probably looking for foreign aid to practice singing.

Pei Yang finished his latte and smiled.

If you first set a condition very high, and then pretend that it is difficult to lower it to the height you want, then the other party will be more willing to accept and agree more easily.

So what Pei Yang told them was that they were going to start recording today, but he was willing to bear more pressure and give them some more time.
