Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 745 "Thousands of Miles Away"!
teahouse.

It was the place where I met Tao Yanqing last time.

But this time, apart from Li Zhifan, Burnett and Tao Yanqing, there was also a middle-aged man named Jia Qing, the vice president of the Union Bank.

Lianjin Bank, a state-owned bank invested by SVA, is solely responsible for investing in Burnett's studio this time.

"Mr. Burnett, we will complete the investment in your studio through our branch in New York. The initial investment plan is 500 million U.S. dollars. New investors will appear later, or you want to invest more, etc. The managers of the New York branch will be responsible for discussing with you on issues related to the dilution of shares."

Jia Qing talked eloquently, and directly threw out an amount that surprised and dumbfounded Burnett.

500!dollars!

Burnett thought he would just make a small investment, but this amount is enough to acquire a small game company in North America. Coupled with his familiarity with the field of game production, at this price, It is completely possible to form a strong production team.

Of course, all of this is just a thought for Burnett at present.

However, he has money and confidence, and he is still very confident in his idea just now.

"OK! OK!"

Burnett nodded again and again, "I am very happy to have such a day. I have even seen our future. The investment of 500 million yuan is not a small amount for me. It is much more than the amount I expected before. Then with the cost of my original plan, we can have a very good production team, I promise! This team is full of talent!"

Jia Qing said with a smile: "This is the first time our bank has invested in a studio, and it is also the first time to invest in the game field. However, we believe that the gold content of the game market in the future will be among the top five in the world, and may even break away from Outside the scope of the entertainment industry, this investment is not only for the upcoming new game "Wolf Warrior", but also for the global game market in the future, and we hope to have a place for us!"

Burnett said: "I have witnessed many game companies, relying on a game from a small unknown studio to become one of the best game companies in the world. I hope we can also be one of the miracles. In addition, the Chinese market It has always been a market that foreign game companies expect to enter, so it is really my honor to be able to develop a game with the Chinese side.”

Within a few days of coming here, Burnett also learned to be tactful, and after a few chats, he began to flatter.

……

Regarding the game, Li Zhifan handed over the full authority to Burnett and Chen Cheng, and he only exists as a game architect, just hold a conference call. After the game officially enters the development stage, Li Zhifan will also participate in providing ideas, but the chief editor It is still Burnett.

In the game industry, there is a saying that is particularly good.

As an investor, if you want full participation, you don’t need to hire a producer. The premise is that you must know how to do it. Even the most basic optimizations can't be done.

After getting out of the game preparation, Li Zhifan continued to return to his old job of touring.

Guangzhou, Tianhe Stadium.

This is Li Zhifan's second extra performance in the second round.

Half of the 33-stop tour released last year has been completed, and the second round of additional performances is not scheduled after the first round, but starts in the middle of the first round, so the earliest ticket sales for the second round is also a month ago.

After dozens of tours and tempering, Li Zhifan has completely gotten used to the state when performing on stage, and it was the influence of these states that made him suddenly feel what a star is.

That is, surrounded by spotlights, surrounded by thousands of people, shouted by voices, and surrounded by fluorescent lights.

Every time I walk on the stage of the concert and see everything on and off the stage, the state of "I am the protagonist tonight" will arise spontaneously.

Since we are in Guangzhou today, a large Cantonese-speaking area, Li Zhifan naturally wants to sing a few Cantonese songs.

"Seven Friends" is a Cantonese song he has ever published, but it is the only one.

In addition, he also sang several Cantonese golden songs that exist in this world, which are all classics from the 80s and 90s of the last century.

Of course, from Li Zhifan’s personal point of view, these so-called classics of old songs were also big hits back then, no different from those on the current pop charts. It’s just that after a long time, they become classics, don’t they? ?
Another important reason why these songs have become classics is that the songs sung by many singers are basically the same as these old songs. From the melody to the lyrics, you can find the corresponding template as soon as you listen to them.

There are always a few sentences about love. The lyrics of love songs were written like this two or thirty years ago, and the lyrics of love songs are still written like this now. It is not even as good as it was two or thirty years ago, and it is more straightforward.

When I came up today, the opening song was "Seven Friends", and after singing several songs such as "When You", "Baikal Lake", "Still in Love", Li Zhifan invited a guest.

From Xiangjiang, the heavenly king who debuted in the 80s, and the veteran singer Li Jianqing.

Li Jianqing's performances have always been known for being stable. Even at this age, he still holds hundreds of concerts every year. Even in the same province, there are three concerts in the provincial capital and two prefecture-level cities. Said that the attendance rate of the three shows in three consecutive days was full, and there was no flaw in the singing.

Li Jianqing's strong singing skills can support any song. He can also adapt the popular styles of rap and R&B into his own style and sing it. This is called strength.

In his concerts, he has sung Li Zhifan's songs many times, including folk, rock, pop, rap, R&B...all challenges, all of which are Li Zhifan's works.

Inviting him as a guest today, Li Zhifan naturally wanted to ask him.

After everyone's welcome applause, Li Zhifan asked Li Jianqing: "Brother Jianqing, the audience who listened to your concerts know that you often adapt and sing my songs, and as long as it is a genre that I have tried, you have also tried it." One more time, but what is frustrating is that you have adapted it into a pop style that suits you. Besides rap, you can also recite it. There are no R&B, rock, and folk songs... What's going on? Son?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Jianqing smiled and said, "I like to sing your songs. Your songs are well written. In fact, singers live their whole lives. It's really hard to find a friend. It's hard to find a good song. I used to only cover girls' songs. I think this Covering is difficult and challenging, but after listening to your songs, I started to cover your works, even the works of some young singers. I found that what I should challenge is my own heart, one is a work that directly hits my heart, The other is to make me want to get back to the younger work."

"Okay, that's great!"

Li Zhifan applauded himself and said, "Let's step off the stage at that moment and discuss the issue of music copyright."

"what?"

Li Jianqing was surprised, "I have to pay the fee!"

"No no no!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand and said, "I have decided to authorize you to sing all my songs, what do you think?"

"what!?"

Li Jianqing was even more surprised. Not understanding what Li Zhifan was thinking, he subconsciously blurted out, "Really?"

"real!"

Li Zhifan said, "But it's not free! I will share the money you make, but you don't need to make a report in the future. I heard from Ms. Wu from the copyright department of my company that there are already more than 20 contracts signed with you. Just sign all authorizations at once."

"Great!"

Li Jianqing suddenly appeared like an old child, but then he asked Li Zhifan, "Then what about the song we sang together today?"

"This is naturally included!"

Li Zhifan said, but after he finished speaking, he subconsciously covered his mouth, and hurriedly said, "Brother Jianqing, I haven't even let it go yet, you've revealed it."

The audience didn't understand it at first, but after what Li Zhifan said, and then recalling what Li Jianqing said just now, they all understood it all at once, and started yelling.

If it's just two people singing a song together, there must be no copyright issue.

But since this is involved, it must be a new song!

Because the copyright of the chorus does not belong to the two singers, but to the inviter, that is, Li Zhifan, if the invitee Li Jianqing wants to sing solo or sing with others in the future, he also needs to apply for copyright.

The curiosity of the audience was instantly opened, cheering and screaming, whistling, applauding enthusiastically, all looking forward to the next song.

"Okay! The following song is indeed a new song!"

Li Zhifan smiled wryly and said, "Oh, I also designed a routine, and I don't need it now, so let me just explain it directly! This song is called "Thousands of Miles Away". Because of special reasons, only invited Brother Jianqing, so today's new song Live is different from before. There is only such a chance to record. I hope that both of us can sing well without making mistakes. I also hope that the audience can restrain their emotions and guarantee this time. The recording was a complete success!"

"it is good!!!"

The audience below spoke in unison.

Li Jianqing is also very excited. Although he has held concerts for half his life and has many classic Live songs, they basically appeared by accident. The powerful live singing can be called Live Classic.

And he never thought of recording a live album. After all, in his inherent impression, the record should still be made in the recording studio, recording and singing over and over again, so as to achieve the most perfect effect and present it to the audience.

Li Zhifan's approach was something he never dared to think of before.

Amidst the applause, the prelude to the music sounded.

In order to record the live scene of the song "Thousands of Miles Away", Li Zhifan invited a folk orchestra to record live with the accompaniment master tape that had been completed in the recording studio.

Taking advantage of the prelude, Li Zhifan stepped onto the crane next to the stage, and then moved in mid-air to the top of the audience.

But Li Jianqing was still standing on the stage without doing anything.

"The eaves are like cliffs, and the wind chimes are like the sea. I'll wait for Yan to return!"

"The time is arranged, act out an accident, you go away quietly!"

The first section was sung by Li Zhifan.

Standing in mid-air, the sound field here is still relatively empty, and the recording location is particularly important for the quality of the recording effect. When recording live music at a concert, the first thing to solve is the recording site and the recording environment.

Even if the recording is in charge of the backstage people, some noise from the audience below will still be recorded.

But the audience doesn't care about these, as long as the scene sounds good.

So when I heard Li Zhifan sing the first few lines, I was already relieved.

"The story is outside the city, and the thick fog can't clear away, so I can't see the dialogue clearly!"

"You can't hear it, the wind doesn't exist, it's me who is emotional!"

The second part was sung by Li Zhifan.

His singing style is R&B style, every sound or every line of lyrics has a transliteration, matched with Chinese style tunes, folk music accompaniment, coupled with this style of singing, it seems to have returned to the year when Li Zhifan first performed in Taiwan. When I sang "Susan Says", it was neither conflicting nor very harmonious, but also very trendy.

I thought Li Zhifan had finished singing the first two paragraphs, so it should be Li Jianqing who sang it!
It's a pity not, Li Jianqing didn't move on the stage, and some audience even noticed that the lights on the stage had been dimmed, and Li Jianqing's figure could only be seen as a rough outline in the darkness.

"Wake up from the dream, who is on the windowsill, open the ending!"

"The future that is as thin as cicada's wings can't stand to be demolished!"

The third section was sung by Li Zhifan, and this section has a stronger R&B style no matter from the melody or Li Zhifan's singing style!

Especially the last word "demolition", the small ending lingered around, and the audience felt a burst of clarity.

But at this moment, the lights on the stage were brightly lit, and two microphones were actually added to the microphone stand in front of Li Jianqing. One was a wireless microphone, the same as the one in Li Zhifan's hand, and the other was a wired microphone, which looked very similar. The microphone in the KTV.

In fact, this wired microphone is a condenser mic, which is specially used for recording studios. Although it is an old-fashioned condenser mic, its effect is no worse than the current condenser mic. This mic is the one that Li Jianqing has been using in the recording studio for so many years and has never changed it. , Today I heard that it was a live recording, so I brought this mic.

"I'll send you away, thousands of miles away, you are silent black and white!"

"In the age of silence, maybe it shouldn't be too far away to love each other!"

Li Jianqing is of course an old-fashioned move and typhoon.

Of course, after all, he is a star who debuted in the 80s, and has been active in the performance market, and he is not as old as the little brother Fei Yuqing in the original version, who behaves like a people's artist.

"I'll send you away, beyond the horizon, are you still there!"

"Where does the sound of the zither come from? Life and death are hard to guess. Use your whole life to wait!"

The same song, two different styles, Li Jianqing's lyrical pop style, without any sense of R&B curls, every word is full of sound, every ending sound is straightforward, at most, the little vibrato is played very well Well, this is also Li Jianqing's characteristic.

In addition to singing, there was an eye-catching scene on the stage...
