From yearning to entertainment master

Chapter 25 Signing the Red Wolves
In the early morning, several people in the recording studio were arguing excitedly with dark circles under their eyes.Ye Mingxuan and Lao Cao had a big disagreement about the accompaniment of a letter from home.

Lao Cao believes that "A Letter from Home" should be the same as "An Ordinary Day", with simple guitar accompaniment. Ye Mingxuan believes that the timbre of the guitar is not enough to express the emotion of this song, at least not fully. on other instruments.

The Red Wolf Band also has its own ideas, and wants to add some pop factors, adding some light drums, piano, bass and so on.It is closer to Ye Mingxuan's idea.But no matter what, there must be a guitarist. Chen Ting and Chen Yao are practicing together.

"Such a good song, with instruments that add pop factors, will destroy the atmosphere of the whole song."

"No, only the guitar accompaniment is too monotonous. I also know that this song is best performed in the form of a folk song, but as a musician, we have to consider the audience of the music."

"You only used the guitar on the show, why not?"

The two were arguing with red faces, and neither could convince the other.They all looked at each other with their necks stuck. If they were not responsible for the music, how could they quarrel?If it wasn't for the love for Ye Mingxuan's talent, why would they argue?Everyone understands that this is the quality a musician should have.

"Can you record two versions?" Wang Jun, the youngest, said in a low voice.

Everyone looked at him. "I'm just talking casually about that." Wang Jun shrank his neck.Ye Mingxuan's attitude towards his music made him a little scared.

Ye Mingxuan and Lao Cao looked at each other and nodded heavily.

"Copy guy, work, work. Xiaoye, let's record your version first."

After recording two versions of the accompaniment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoye, hold on a little longer, record the song, and then go to rest."

"Xiao Ye, in the first half of the song, the emotions are tense and can't burst out. It feels like talking in a homely way."

"Xiaoye, there are a few scales in the middle that haven't been handled well, let's do it again."

"Xiaoye, the relationship in the second half is not enough, not enough, not enough, the relationship must be sincere, and start again."

"Xiaoye, do it again."

...

"Little Leaf..."

"Uncle Cao, do you want to come again?" Ye Mingxuan looked at Lao Cao wearily.

Lao Cao took off the monitor earphones and looked at Ye Mingxuan seriously, "Xiao Ye, you are the most serious young man I have ever met. Don't forget your original intention."

"Uncle Cao, is it alright?"

"It's ok, it's perfect. It's perfect." Lao Cao's face was full of excitement, and his exhaustion was swept away. "Xiaoye, you guys go to rest first, I'm going to synthesize the song, fix the noise a little, and then I can post it."

"Huh ~ Uncle Cao, let's do it after a break"

"I'm fine, you go to rest first, and I'll call you when I'm done."

"Uncle Cao, I'm in trouble. I can't take it anymore. I have a sore throat and a headache." Ye Mingxuan took the throat lozenges that Lao Cao handed over.

...

While listening intently to the finished song, Lao Cao's phone rang.

"Old Cao, where is Xiaoxuan?" Teacher Huang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm sleeping!" Lao Cao replied impatiently.

"You're good at what you do! Are you impatient after just a few words?"

"Xiaoye's two songs are about to be finished, and I'm listening to the effect, when you call, do you think you're annoying?"

"You record songs without turning off your phone?"

"Just opened it for a while, if you have something to say, hurry up, it's busy!"

"Let Xiaoye come to my company in the afternoon. I have something to do. Don't forget."

"Got it, got it, hang up." Lao Cao hung up the phone impatiently.

Two songs by Ye Mingxuan were played again.After listening to it several times from beginning to end, he nodded in satisfaction.Put the sound source into the memory card and leave the control room.I saw Ye Mingxuan and the young people from the Red Wolf band lying on the chairs in the recording studio.

Wake them up one by one, and wave their hands to signal them to wash up first.

Seeing that everyone was more energetic, they took out the memory card. "It's all done, Chen Ting, you take Xiaoye and the band to listen to the effect. I think they can't handle it anymore and are going to rest, and after listening to this kid, get out of here. Don't bother me anymore."

Before the members of the Red Wolf Band could say a word, Lao Cao went out. "By the way, Xiaoye, Lao Huang asked you to go directly to his company."

Chen Yao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

"This will always be our home." Chen Yao whispered to herself softly.

Chen Ting calmed down and started to play the song, and several people listened quietly.

"Dear Mom and Dad,

Are you guys OK

…with all due respect. "

"It's great, it's really great, I didn't expect that we can also accompany such a great song. I will die without regret." Wang Jun, the youngest, happily took Chen Yao's arm, "Sister Chen Yao, did you hear that?" ? We can also make great music, and we can also make such great music." Then he burst into tears.In the past two years, the Red Wolf Band has suffered too much grievance, until now, the youngest Wang Jun finally cried.

"Xiaojun, don't cry. You should be happy now, our Red Wolf band will definitely be popular." Chen Yao comforted Wang Jun.

After Wang Jun's mood stabilized, Chen Ting continued to play another version of "A Letter from Home".

After Ye Mingxuan nodded, he played "An Ordinary Day".

After playing all three songs, Ye Mingxuan nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, everyone follow me to the company!"

Ye Mingxuan was like Mr. Huang's office when he was going through the studio formalities.With the five members of the Red Wolf Band, they went directly to Mr. Huang's office.

Teacher Huang looked at the members of the Red Wolf Band with strange expressions. "Xiaoxuan, why did you kidnap Lao Cao's precious band after recording two songs?"

Teacher Huang is very familiar with Lao Cao, and knows that these young people are very good young people.

"Ms. Huang, I want to sign them into the studio, and Uncle Cao agrees." Ye Mingxuan explained
"You boy, the studio has not yet taken shape! Sign your studio?" Teacher Huang shook his head. "Sign the contract with your studio, and leave the daily management and so on to me! When you arrive at the Mushroom House, tell your teacher He that many programs on Shonan TV need to use bands. Let him arrange a program for live accompaniment first, so as to improve Get famous." Teacher Huang turned to ask how many members of the Red Wolf Band. "Is this arrangement okay?"

Although it was a question, the Red Wolf Band also knew that they had no choice. Without the umbrella of Mr. Huang and Mr. He, they would not be able to be on the show at all, and they all nodded in agreement with Mr. Huang's arrangement.

Teacher Huang gave the Red Wolf Band the most common third-tier artist contract. After all, the Red Wolf Band has not appeared in front of the public for two years.

After negotiating the contract of the Red Wolf Band, someone took the members of the Red Wolf Band away.

"Xiaoxuan, let's deal with your own problems."

"What's wrong? Teacher Huang?" Ye Mingxuan asked in confusion.

"Have you finished recording both songs?"

Ye Mingxuan nodded, "The recording is finished, I am very satisfied. Uncle Cao is this." Ye Mingxuan gave a thumbs up.

"Several major music companies have called several times in the past few days to ask about your song. Do you have any thoughts?"

"Mr. Huang, what's your opinion?" Ye Mingxuan thought for a while

Teacher Huang pondered, "Although your song is very popular, there are many people asking for it online. But after all, you can only be regarded as a newcomer, and the platform will not give you too much share. My idea is to find a big platform. It doesn't matter if it's less, first increase your reputation and expand your popularity."

"Mr. Huang, what are the conditions for sending a song to a newcomer like me?"

"There are no newcomers like you, but I can give you a reference. Generally, third-tier well-known singers buy out their copyrights for their songs. The slightly better 20% commission, the first-tier 50%, no commission for superstar-level platforms, the platform also You have to pay a lot of licensing fees." Mr. Huang explained the income of releasing songs in the current music scene.

"In the afternoon, I'll make an appointment with the heads of several major platforms to see what they have to offer! With the face of me and your teacher He, it won't be too low, don't worry."
