From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 286 Recording Songs
Anxiety is actually not that terrible. The scary thing is that I don’t know how to vent it. Some people have many ways to vent their troubles. I am relatively single. I can’t find any other way except to play the piano. I don’t like to talk to friends. I'm not happy anymore, why bother my friends.

The next day, we came to Yinhe Records again. Today’s content is very interesting, recording vocals. Mr. Xiaokai will come back from Shanghai in the afternoon. His activity is quite long.

Shen Qier is very serious and has been singing the part that belongs to it. I have nothing to do. My harmony will not be recorded until they finish recording the vocals, so Ying Qingyao and I are playing drums. I asked her to teach me some Complicated rhythm pattern, Li saw that this guy didn't play the rhythm guitar, but played with the bass to cooperate with me.

He was originally a bass player, but Shen Qier could only play bass during the show, so he turned into a rhythm guitarist. I thought that for the needs of the arrangement, besides the guitar, I can play some common instruments. Understand their theory, but the technology is not solid.

"Captain, your drumming is not bad!" Ying Qingyao praised.

I smiled, "When I was in school, I practiced for a while, and I usually need to arrange music, so I also master some rhythm patterns, but compared to your major, I am still far behind."

"That's okay, I can teach you later if you want to learn!"

"Okay, just don't charge tuition fees."

Li Jian stopped playing and asked, "Qingyao, I also want to learn how to play drums, so teach me one by the way!"

"Okay, I will teach you after paying the tuition fee."

"Why?" Li Jian looked aggrieved, "Why doesn't Yun Qian ask for teaching fees?"

"Because he is the captain, how dare I charge the captain?"

"This is hegemony and it's very unfair"

I laughed dumbfounded and ignored them. I continued to immerse myself in my music. Others thought that the guitar was the first musical instrument I learned, but it was not. The harmonica was my real musical instrument. The first musical instrument.

……

In the afternoon, Mr. Xiaokai arrived as scheduled. He changed into a new hairstyle and looked even more handsome. No wonder he fascinated so many little fans, and his looks are all online when he is not on the camera.

My cousin Yun Ting's idol is Teacher Xiaokai. If she knew that I was talking with Teacher Xiaokai face to face at this time, she would probably have to call me to ask Teacher Xiaokai for an autographed photo.

"I practice singing when I find time these days. How is your practice, Shen Qier?" Teacher Xiaokai said: "If there is no problem, today we will ask Teacher Lin to help us record the vocals."

"I'm OK!"

Shen Qier made an "OK" gesture with her hands, and Teacher Xiaokai nodded slightly. Director Lin came to the lounge after a while. He explained some song designs to Shen Qier and Teacher Xiaokai, and finally we entered the recording studio Start recording.

Li Jian, Ying Qingyao, I, the three of us looked at them through the soundproof glass. After Director Lin sat in front of the computer and gave them the "OK" gesture, they began to sing.

We couldn't hear their vocals clearly, and Director Lin also used monitor headphones to listen to their effects. Judging from the expressions on their singing, I know they must be singing this song very well.

During the period, I was called to stop several times by Director Lin. Mistakes were unavoidable. In order to ensure better quality, I couldn’t rely entirely on the sound mixer, and the vocals couldn’t all be repaired. I would rather record it several times and choose the best one, so that the final result can be produced. The effect will be better.

At this time, a person came into the recording studio. She was Sister Rong, who seemed to be in charge of promoting the company's artists. I didn't know much about it.

She said to us: "You are the captain of the continuing band! The three of you come out with me, I have something to tell you about the next arrangement."

"Okay, Miss Rong!"

We followed Sister Rong to the meeting room of the record company. She ordered her assistant to pour us a glass of water. The others were very respectful to her, guessing that she had some status in the company.

"I have to tell you about a situation, because you are not yet a signed band, and the song is a promotional song released on the basis of Xiao Kai's fame, so your band will not get any income from this song, part of it It belongs to Xiaokai's management company, and part of it belongs to our Galaxy Records, understand?"

The three of us looked at each other in blank dismay. I had never thought about this question before. I didn’t know how to answer it for a while, but I soon understood it. Listening to our band’s loss, but it’s not a loss. If there is no teacher Xiaokai’s participation, we It is estimated that the works sent out will not play a real promotional role, so we have no reason to refuse. No matter from which point of view, the person who benefits the most is Galaxy Records.

Our life and death seem to be completely in the hands of capital.

I said lightly: "We can understand, Sister Rong!"

"It's good if you can understand. Don't feel disadvantaged. To be honest, I have heard about your band. Although it performed well on the show, if there is no good promotion, the market will soon forget you."

Sister Rong took a sip of water and continued: "For example, the Qinsheng band, you should be familiar with it? Their band, especially Xia Qing, can be said to be an artist now! Although they have strength, the company's packaging And promotion are indispensable, Butterfly Records is a powerful company, and the newcomers released in the past two years are very popular."

"Well, thank you Sister Rong for your teaching." I said this in a humble tone, even if I was a little bit reluctant, for the sake of the band, I couldn't offend such a woman.

Sister Rong smiled and said, "Yun Qian, director Lin of your band has mentioned signing you more than once, I might as well tell you, this is also a good opportunity for you, if the market research results are good after the release of the single, the company I will consider signing you, and then we will give you a percentage of the revenue from this song according to the contract."

"Sister Rong, is this true?" Li Jian asked hurriedly, I just nodded, and I didn't think in a good direction for things that didn't come to fruition.

"Of course. Our company won't lie to make you happy. Okay, let's talk about tomorrow's business. Tomorrow, I will shoot a band photo and promotional video for you. Yun Qian, after recording the song in a while, you can fill in your band's information , so that we can modify your information on the music platform."

I nodded, and Sister Rong said there was nothing to do, so we left the meeting room in a sensible manner.It seems!No matter where you go, it's the same. When you are not popular, no one will be optimistic about you. When you really become popular, everyone will treat you with respect.

　Rest early, good night~
