1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 13 Don't know each other without playing, start to arrange music!
Gao Xiaosong felt that the song "Those Flowers" written by Jiang Xiaofeng was really special and groundbreaking, because this was the first time in the history of Huaguo that a song was written for them.

You know, before that, all songs, including all poems, were written for a single her, as if love is such a one-to-one relationship.

But Jiang Xiaofeng's song "Those Flowers" is not about singing about her alone, but about them, about the girls he met in his youth.

In the process of listening to Jiang Xiaofeng singing the song "Those Flowers", Gao Xiaosong was also filled with emotions. He couldn't help but think of the flowers he met in his life over the years. Many of them have lost contact and don't know How are they doing?

"La la la la, la la la la, la la la miss her
La la la la, la la la la, is she still driving?

La la la la, la la la la, la la la, go
They have been blown away by the wind
scattered in the sky

……

Are they all old?

where are they
We are like this

They go to the end of the world. "

After singing a song, Jiang Xiaofeng stopped playing the strings and took a slight breath.

Gao Xiaosong quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hands, then raised his hands, took the lead in applauding Jiang Xiaofeng, and praised: "My buddy, your song "Those Flowers" is amazingly written, and your singing is also very good!"

Shen Qing also nodded and said: "Yes, Xiaofeng, I never thought that you could write with a sense of youth gone at such a young age. It's really admirable!"

Huang Xiaomao also smiled and said: "The singing and writing are excellent, I have nothing to say!"

Although Huang Xiaomao was not as exposed as Gao Xiaosong and Shen Qing, he had already secretly made up his mind to put the song "Those Flowers" in the album "Campus Folk Songs".

Without waiting for Jiang Xiaofeng to answer, Gao Xiaosong went on to say: "Brother, I apologize to you for my rudeness just now. It's because I don't know Taishan with my eyes. I will punish myself with three cups!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Xiaosong started to pick up the wine bottle and pour wine into his own glass. Jiang Xiaofeng and Huang Xiaomao couldn't stop them if they wanted to, and they didn't let him move at all, so they let him.

After finishing the three glasses of beer, Gao Xiaosong let out an "uh" and burped, then poured another glass of wine, then raised his glass and said to Jiang Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, right, we don't know each other today, Let's drink one, after drinking this glass of wine, the unpleasantness just now is over, how about it?"

Jiang Xiaofeng was not a petty person, so he immediately raised his wine glass, touched Gao Xiaosong, and said bluntly, "Don't say anything, let's do it!"

"Okay, done!" The two said in unison.

After speaking, the two drank the beer in the glass.

Afterwards, Gao Xiaosong, with a cigarette in his mouth, crossed his legs, took his mobile phone, and called a nearby restaurant to ask them to bring some snacks.

The four of them ate and drank, chatted while drinking, and chatted happily until the sun was about to set before it stopped.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Gao Xiaosong bid farewell to Jiang Xiaofeng, Huang Xiaomao, and Shen Qing.

When Gao Xiaosong saw a big name like Huang Xiaomao driving a Lada, the car was not as good as him, he felt a hahaha, his vanity was greatly satisfied!

You know, Huang Xiaomao's wife, Shi Ke, is already a well-known movie star in the mainland, and she is in the same class with Gong Li, so it's no wonder that Gao Xiaosong is proud.

In the next few days, Jiang Xiaofeng and Gao Xiaosong went to Dadi Records respectively, and chatted with Huang Xiaomao about money.

Jiang Xiaofeng had already sold "The Drum Tower" for 1000 yuan before, and the price of "Those Flowers", which was of a higher standard this time, was naturally higher.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng only agreed to sell part of the copyright, that is, the distribution copyright and the singing copyright. He didn't sell it, but kept it for himself.

Dadi Records originally mainly made records, and basically did not carry out much brokerage business, and agreed with Jiang Xiaofeng's opinion.

Jiang Xiaofeng also said to Huang Xiaomao: "Mr. Huang, I want to sing the song "Those Flowers" by myself."

Huang Xiaomao had no opinion at all, and said to him: "No problem, we have never thought about it. We want to sing your songs to some singers of our company, just to respect you!"

Jiang Xiaofeng thought so too. Ever since he sold the song "Drum Tower", Huang Xiaomao wanted him to sing it himself.

Huang Xiaomao continued: "The record we are going to make is your record, your own record."

To be honest, Jiang Xiaofeng was very touched when he heard Huang Xiaomao say that, to meet a record company that respects singers so much.

In the end, Dadi Records bought the publishing rights of "Those Flowers" from Jiang Xiaofeng for 2000 yuan.

In addition to buying two songs by Jiang Xiaofeng, Dadi Records also bought seven songs by Gao Xiaosong for a total of 7 yuan, an average of more than 9000 yuan per song.

For such a price, Gao Xiaosong is quite happy and satisfied, because before that, a record company in Shenzhen called "Xianke", under Shen Qing's lobbying, expressed willingness to release records for them, each song was 600 yuan money.

Of course, that was last year, early 1992.

At that time, Gao Xiaosong had been waiting for the record company to inform him to choose a singer and arranger. He didn't know that the song had already been recorded until he was called to sign it.

After listening to their singer's singing, Gao Xiaosong was very dissatisfied. He felt that the singer didn't express his meaning at all, so he told the record company that his song could only be sung by Lao Lang, otherwise it would not be sold.

Because Gao Xiaosong felt that the old wolf was himself, and the two of them didn't need to say anything, the old wolf knew how to express what he wanted to express.

The Xianke record company thought this young man was ridiculous, and buying his songs was already a good idea, but they dared to comment. They said directly: I will give you 600 yuan for a song, and you will have nothing to do with it if you sign it. If you don't want to, pull it down.

Gao Xiaosong was not to be outdone, even though he was nothing at the time, he hadn't made the first pot of gold in his life, and he urgently needed the money.

But for music, Gao Xiaosong still has his own persistence and pursuit, so he directly rejected it.

Not to mention that now that Gao Xiaosong is rich, he would not just "sell" his music for 9000 yuan.

Gao Xiaosong didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes. Before signing the contract, he made it clear to Huang Xiaomao: “It’s like this, it doesn’t matter if it’s money or not. Choose my favorite singer to sing, do you think it's okay?"

Huang Xiaomao said straightforwardly: "Okay, our original idea is to let you sing by yourself and make a record that belongs to you."

With Huang Xiaomao's words, Gao Xiaosong had nothing to worry about. He thought that after signing the contract, asking Lao Lang to sing these songs of his would fulfill their musical dreams.

However, after Huang Xiaomao bought the song copyrights of Jiang Xiaofeng, Gao Xiaosong and others, he was not in a hurry to let them enter the recording studio to record songs, but prepared to re-arrange these songs.

Because these songs composed by Jiang Xiaofeng and Gao Xiaosong, although the lyrics and music are excellent, but the arrangement is a bit simple and rough, and it cannot be regarded as a qualified arrangement at all.

Especially for the two songs created by Jiang Xiaofeng, apart from the guitar accompaniment, there are no other instruments. He can also play the guitar, not other music.

Huang Xiaomao's current task is to let professional arrangers make new arrangements for the songs he bought back, and then let them enter the recording studio for recording.

Of course, as the producer of Dadi Records, Huang Xiaomao, in addition to being responsible for the arrangement of songs, will also participate in a series of creative work such as directing, recording, mixing, mastering, and post-production.

After Jiang Xiaofeng and Gao Xiaosong sold the song, they took the money and went back to wait for news, waiting for Dadi Records to ask them to go back and record the song.
