From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 276 Teacher Lin
I left the low-altitude flight rehearsal room at three o'clock in the afternoon. I have had enough fun today. Their band is going to record a new album. I don't want to delay them at the scene. Wang Chuchu also invited me to have dinner with them at night, but I declined. I have something urgent to do tonight.

On the way back, I kept calling Shen Qier. She said that she had returned to her home in Shanghai, and that her parents knew that we were dating, so they kept asking her to call me to visit. The impression is actually pretty good, now that I am in BJ and I can’t go there, I plan to visit her house when I go back.

After I returned to Li Changan's residence, he still hadn't come back. I seemed a bit bored for a while, so I found a movie to watch to pass the time, and Li Changan finally came back about an hour later.

"Brother Li, is Teacher Xiaokai back?" I asked Li Changan as soon as he entered the door.

"Well, I'm back!" Li Chang'an nodded and said, "By the way, get ready and remember to bring the piano with you. Teacher Xiaokai will take you to a good place."

"where?"

"You'll know when you get there!" Li Changan smiled, deliberately trying to trick me. I stayed in the room and smoked a cigarette before coming out. When we Li Changan came to the parking lot, Teacher Xiaokai was already sitting in the commercial vehicle inside.

"Mr. Xiaokai, where are we going?" I found that Teacher Xiaokai went out in full armor, with a mask and a hat covering everything that could be covered, so I became curious.

"My teacher's place, he is a very good music producer, we went to let him see his work." Teacher Xiao Kai took off his mask and said: "Hey, he also has a recording studio, a rehearsal room, and well-equipped facilities. It happens that we can get bored there, playing with headphones at home is not as enjoyable as playing in the rehearsal room."

"That's really great. I just came back from Wang Chuchu's place. I haven't played enough today. Later, there will be a master in the industry to guide me. I don't know how to thank you."

Teacher Xiaokai smiled, and Li Changan finally started the car and drove outside. People like Teacher Xiaokai know so many masters and have too many resources around them. This is also something I envy.

……

We came to a very impressive record company, directly above the building, overlooking a large landscape in Chaoyang District. There are many departments in it. Occasionally, we saw some famous singers and bands. People in the company saw Teacher Xiaokai. He greets.

Teacher Xiaokai asked a woman in her 30s, "Sister Rong, where is Director Lin?"

"He should be busy in the recording studio, Xiao Kai, wait a moment, I'll call him for you." The woman called Sister Rong looked at me, and then said: "You sit down as you like, Lisa, let Xiao Kai and the others Make three cups of coffee!"

"Okay, Miss Rong!"

I looked for the sound and saw that Lisa was dressed in formal attire, full of the taste of a working woman, and she was the front desk of the Galaxy Records.

"Mr. Xiaokai, are all your songs released here?"

On the sofa, I was flipping through the promotional magazines on the table. There was an introduction to Galaxy Records on it. Many popular singers in the Chinese music scene have had their records done here, including Teacher Xiaokai.

Teacher Xiaokai shook his head, "Not all of them. I have my own company, and I also set up a personal studio last year. Galaxy has cooperated many times before. I know the music director here, and I have some personal friendship with him."

"Oh, it turns out that this is the case. I'm an outsider in this industry. I usually use the mouse to arrange music in private. Teacher Xiaokai, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Except for the recording studio of the band show before, this is the second time I've come back to such a good place. Place, today is an eye-opener!" The scale, popularity, and artists under the banner here are all better than low-altitude flying.

"Take your time, there will be more opportunities like this in the future!" Teacher Xiaokai always gives people a very close feeling. Li Changan patted my shoulder and teased me, saying that I just want to hang out with Teacher Xiaokai. Red is hard.

I smiled, of course I know this is a joke, Teacher Xiaokai can help our band once, but it is impossible to help our band [-] times. Only the audience can truly enter the music world and eat this cake; only then can they stand firm on this stage.

"Xiao Kai, it's been a long time! Long time no see! You haven't been here for a long time." A middle-aged man in white clothes with glasses came to us. He is Teacher Lin. I recognize him and have brought many Golden Melody Award for Composer.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see. I can't help it. I haven't had a free day recently. I just returned to BJ from Hengdian yesterday after filming."

Teacher Xiaokai smiled, and immediately he shook hands with Teacher Lin.

"Hello, Teacher Lin! I have long admired your name!" I took the initiative to say hello with a smile and nodded. Although I was an unknown person in front of him, I still had to have the courtesy I should have.

Teacher Lin glanced at me and asked, "You are. I think you look familiar. Have you participated in that band show before?"

"Mr. Lin, he is Yunqian, from the Yunji band in the show." Teacher Xiaokai added, I gave him a grateful look, and then smiled at Teacher Lin, "Well, it's me, Teacher Lin, I will I also hope that you can give me some pointers!"

Perhaps because of Teacher Xiaokai's face, Teacher Lin did not show any impatience, and said that as long as I want to ask about music, he will answer me bluntly. I cherish these opportunities very much. During the years of self-study, I have Many puzzles need to be answered.

Teacher Xiaokai told Teacher Lin the purpose of coming here today, and we moved from the lounge to the recording studio. Teacher Lin was listening to my arrangement project files carefully. All nervous and ready to be picked on.

Teacher Lin put down the monitor earphones, looked back at me, and asked, "Aren't you from a major?"

"No." I nodded, feeling extremely nervous.

"It's not bad to be able to write to this level without being from a major. This dome has some technical flaws, but it is a dome after all. These can be modified in the later stage. Your song uses off-key, which is not bad. The drums are a little underwhelming. The guitar part is the most prominent, and there are a few creative arrangements in it that are quite interesting, by the way, you recorded the electric guitar yourself, right?"

"Yes, thank you Teacher Lin for your comment!" Although I can play drums, I am not a professional drummer, so I just made a demo on it. It sounds better.

"Okay! Let's talk, what's on my mind"

Mrs. Lin clapped her hands and said: "This is your music, the original music that your band is going to release. Although you are cooperating with Xiao Kai, I think it's better for you to complete it. After listening to your demo, I can totally It’s basically perfect, but it’s not necessarily the music in your mind, it’s not the “Summer Night Starry Sky” you expressed, it’s not the rock attitude you want to express! Yun Qian, do you understand what I mean? You You are the producer of the music. After all, you are going to take this path in the future. I can give you some suggestions as a reference, but you still need to arrange the changes yourself and enjoy the creation process with your bandmates. Xiao Kai, you should also understand what I mean."

Teacher Xiaokai and I nodded at the same time. What Teacher Lin said was not unreasonable. I originally thought that if Teacher Lin was not satisfied with my arrangement, I would just ask him to contract the arrangement and be lazy. Now it seems that I can’t figure it out. If I want to go further, I need to experience these things myself.

Teacher Lin suddenly smiled and said: "Maybe my words are a bit serious, Yun Qian, take it easy, I watched your finals before, I think your band is very good, the teachers on the jury, I don't think they are just ideas , Speaking of this. I can tell you one thing. I proposed to sign your band in the company at the time, but the company's senior management rejected this matter. Obviously you have commercial value, so don't talk nonsense. Maybe you will be rejected. aimed at"

Teacher Lin lowered his voice in the next few words. He has been in this circle for a long time, so he can see some tricks. At the same time, it confirmed my guess at the time. This matter must have something to do with Han Yishen.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin, I will definitely use my strength to prove it to the person who wants to suppress me."

"With ambition, in the music industry, you rely on your strength to make a living. As long as you have real things and fame, you will have the capital to negotiate conditions. Let's work hard! I look forward to your song."

After we came out of the recording studio, we drew up a cooperation plan. Teacher Xiaokai said that he would bear all the production costs of this song, and his company would pay Galaxy Records. I became the complete beneficiary, because Teacher Xiaokai kept his promise.

He said that since he gave me a chance to cooperate, he must do what he said, and I became the producer of this song. Teacher Xiaokai will give me full authority to do it, because he is really too busy, and the company arranged for him to sing. Yes, I understand him very well. I am already very satisfied that he can introduce Mr. Lin to me.

What's more, I am not alone in making this song. I can still communicate with Mr. Lin, but the overall direction is still in accordance with my ideas. Mr. Xiaokai's company has invested. Use as you go.
