Chapter 564: Milk Tea Lun survives the second life

After receiving the demo, Lu Yuan immediately looked at the producer's column.

Not surprisingly, the producer is Milk Cha Lun himself.

Then, he looked at the song details column in turn.

The easiest thing to remember in a song is probably the singer, the lyrics, and the music.

Occasionally someone will pay attention to the arrangement.

The information that receives the least attention is definitely the musicians, recording engineers, and mixers.

Pop songs are similar to industrial products, and every link affects the quality of a song.

In the previous life, the album "Oh, Not bad" was actually quite perfunctory.

Master Huang's arrangement is very perfunctory.

The volume and loudness of dozens or even hundreds of audio tracks need to be fine-tuned to ensure that the finished product is harmonious and that certain timbres are not too overwhelming.

To be honest, Milkcha Lun's jazz game is really bad, but this guy is so arrogant that he is not willing to admit it at all.

And milk tea Lun!
Don’t let yourself go randomly, and don’t add too many ideas when arranging the music!

For another example, if the vocals are too dry, the mixer has to add some effects to make the sound sound more pleasant.

As we all know, music is recorded in separate tracks, and each sound, such as guitar, drums, bass, strings, etc., is recorded separately.

The biggest change in the entire album is not those songs, but that Milkcha Lun finally gave up on jazz, gave up on jazz!

You ask about "Handwritten Once Upon a Time"?
Nothing.

Like drums, if it is recorded with real drums, the recording of drums alone will occupy several tracks.

This is not.

For example, if the vocals are not sung accurately, the mixer needs to adjust the pitch.

And Master Lin.

Even if there is a jazz flavor, it is not as prominent as before.

The song "Yangmingshan" from the previous life, the choice of electronic sound is hard to describe.

The mixing was also not good, it was disorganized, loose, noisy, and the mixer was definitely out of luck.

Gives it a millennial feel.

Electronic music is not your field, don’t play around!

cough cough.

It has been used in advance by the milk tea shop of Xingchen Cinema Line.

A popular song usually has dozens or even hundreds of audio tracks. After the recording is completed, the mixer will fine-tune the timbre of each track.

The mixing effect is beyond words.

Now, this song is not included in "Oh, Not bad". The only ones that can be seen are "What Kind of Man" and "Hear the Sound of Rain".

After getting rid of those bad habits, the quality of Milkcha Lun's new album has skyrocketed.

When I heard the new song "Sleepless Night", the first thing I felt was harmony.

The arrangement is clearly layered, with strings, bass, drums, vocals, and electronic sounds coming together, and no tone is too prominent.

Pleasant.

Although the chords are still Zhou's routine chords, the harmonies are obviously written with much more care, and simple chords can still be arranged with a high-level feel.

An hour later, before Lu Yuan finished listening to the song, Milk Tea Lun's prestige was reached.

【How about it? 】

Lu Yuan picked up the phone and replied.

【Just give it a try】

the other side.

Seeing this reply, Milk Tea Lun took a sip of milk tea, and then the corner of his mouth became harder than AK's.

He has automatically translated the meaning of this sentence.

Barely ≈ awesome.

The hardships of the past six months have not been in vain.

No.

I have to order another cup of milk tea to comfort myself.

Another moment.

After Lu Yuan listened to the songs in the album, there was nothing more.

To borrow a phrase from Zhe Tianli, this wave of Milk Tea Lun can be regarded as living a second life, with some color of the peak period.

but.

Lu Yuan was fearless.

He is about to retire, and Milk Tea Lun has been suppressing him for ten years, and it has nothing to do with him.

but. This situation is probably unlikely.

Damn it, if there is no pressure, there will be no motivation.

Let’s take a look at those back wavers.

The general environment is so much better than in the previous life. If there are no more outstanding works, it will be wrong.

Whether a good song can appear is only linked to money.

With more money, the behind-the-scenes producers are motivated, and only with motivation can they write good works.

In the past, most producers were a one-time deal, but now even those who are not top producers can still get a share.

The income of songwriters is also sufficiently guaranteed.

Not only in pop music, the revenue structure of film and television soundtracks has also changed.

Previously, domestic film and television soundtracks were a one-time deal, with a movie costing several million and all being bought out. The income generated in the later stage of the soundtrack had nothing to do with the producer.

And the soundtracks in Europe and the United States have subsequent benefits.

This is one of the reasons why domestic film and television soundtracks tend to 'sample' (purchase existing works).

Big names are too expensive.

Taking "The Wandering Earth" as an example, the soundtrack alone cost 800 million US dollars, and 8% of the budget was spent on the soundtrack.

This is also the normal standard soundtrack fee for Hollywood blockbusters.

If the soundtrack is released, Hans Zimmer Studio will also receive a 12% share of the subsequent revenue.

of course.

Money is spent and demands are definitely inevitable.

I went back and forth for half a year and called back dozens of times.

How to deal with a picky Party A is also one of the essential skills for a soundtrack master.

……

a few days later.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" is still dominating the Lunar New Year season, and movies such as "The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)" and "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life" are not its rivals at all.

Shen Teng's popularity was even greater than that of Huang Bo in his previous life.

Box office elixir.

Like Huang Bo, Huang Bo is also in the limelight in the current time and space. The cumulative box office of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series has exceeded 15 billion.

If other movies are included, Huang Bo's personal cumulative box office has exceeded 30 billion.

There are constant film appointments, and it’s him he’s talking about.

The same goes for Shen Teng.

However, there are some differences between the two. Huang Bo wants to direct a movie like Baldy Xu.

Xiao Si, who writes a book, can he become a director?

Why can't he?
So many years of drama are not in vain.

Shen Teng didn't think that much. In addition to being an actor, he was also one of the shareholders of Happy Twist.

Although the shares are not too many, if the listing is successful, it will be worth 2-3 million.

filming?
Can't take any pictures.

Too tired.

He also earns a lot from movies and variety shows. Counting endorsements, it's not much more than 30 to 50 million a year, so that's still plenty.

With so much harvest guaranteed during droughts and floods, why do you need a bicycle?

The artists under Star Media, except for Damimi and Xu Guangtou, who are about to part ways, are basically more Buddhist.

Not that ambitious.

If he didn't need a top player to support his appearance, Boss Lu wouldn't have signed Damimi.

After setting up her personal studio, Damimi clearly felt the 'chill'.

Nowadays, it is no longer realistic to be the number one female lead in a major production like before.

"Phantom 3" is the only movie in which she has confirmed the female lead.

She needs to earn the remaining resources by herself, and at most her priority will be higher.

but.

Damimi has no time to grab resources for the time being, so she plans to sign a few new people.

To be precise, he is not a complete newcomer.

The Reba she was targeting was not a pure newcomer.

Moreover, it is very difficult to sign a contract.
