afternoon.
Zhou Jianhui brought the well-known music producer Xiao Ke to Xisi Hutong. They came here to see the new song written by 'Erjun' for Sun Yanzi.
This time, Li Jie came up with five songs in total.
"Backlight"!
"Green Light"!
"Beginning to Understand"!
"So you don't want anything"!
"A perfect day"!
With five songs, Li Jie managed half of the album by himself, which can be said to be very grand.
After all, from an outsider's perspective, since Erjun's debut, apart from Shen Miaomiao, he has only written one song for Wang Fei.
Wang Fei knows everything about her status.
And what about Sun Yanzi?
He is just a newcomer. Although Warner is very optimistic about Son Yanzi, before the album is released, all predictions may be overturned.
Before Milk Tea Lun became famous, his songwriting was rejected.
Not everyone has a pair of excellent eyes.
However, when Zhou Jianhui and Xiao Ke saw these new songs, they were shocked.
Whether a song is good or not depends not only on the quality of the song itself, but also on whether the singer is suitable for singing the chorus.
Adaptability is very important.
Like JJ Lin's new songs released in 2013, each one has higher treble notes and is very difficult to sing, but for JJ, it is within his vocal comfort zone.
To put it another way, if JJ and Jay Chou's albums were swapped and they sang each other's songs, even if they could sing, they would find it difficult to sing.
This is a question of fitness.
The five new songs Li Jie came up with are very suitable for Sun Yanzi's voice. How suitable is it?
It's like it's tailor-made.
After seeing these songs, Xiao Ke was instantly convinced.
'Erjun' is indeed a musical genius. From the songs released by Shen Miaomiao, we can see that Erjun's music style is extremely changeable.
Rock, lyrical, love songs, ballads, R&B, etc., it seems that every style can be mastered.
The more knowledgeable you are, the more you know how difficult it is.
If it were Xiaoke, if you asked him to write songs of different styles, it wouldn't be that he couldn't write, but it would be difficult for him to produce high-quality songs stably.
This is the scariest place.
"Teacher Erjun, my admiration for you is really like a surging river, endless. These songs are so great!"
"I have a suggestion here. Can you be the producer of Yanzi's new album?"
"Of course, if Mr. Erjun is willing, I can make the final decision and give up an additional 12% of the album income."
With 12% of the producer's share and 13% of the lyrics and music, Li Jie's share of the income from Sun Yanzi's new album is as high as 25%. In this way, he gets more income than Sun Yanzi herself.
It is not strange for a new singer like Son Yanzi to sign a 91 share contract.
Warner nine, Sun Yanzi one.
The part occupied by Li Jie was evenly divided from Warner's share.
The income of 25% is definitely not low.
However, although Warner offered a high share ratio, Li Jie himself was not interested.
"Let's talk about it then. If I'm free, I can help take a look."
"Too."
Zhou Jianhui said slightly apologetically: "My request is indeed a bit abrupt."
Just now, he almost forgot one thing in his excitement.
If nothing else, Shen Miaomiao's English album will be released next year, and Shen Miaomiao will definitely go out to promote it.
Whether an album sells well or not depends not only on the quality of the album, but also on the publicity and distribution work.
In September this year, a singer named Liang Cuiping from Taiwan released her first album "Growing Up Overnight".
This album was released by Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone giant Li Zongsheng personally took charge of the production of the entire album. Well-known musicians within Rolling Stone such as Guangliang and Hong Jingyao all participated in the production.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Rolling Stones' dedication to this album is definitely the first among newcomers.
However, this album made no splash.
There was no splash, not because Rolling Stone didn't announce it, but because there was a major earthquake in Taiwan Province this year.
The residents of Taiwan Province are all focused on the earthquake, and no one pays any attention to new songs released by them.
correct.
This newcomer is Malay and just changed his name to Liang Jingru at the end of this year.
It is said that the Rolling Stones have not given up on Liang Jingru. The second album has entered the production stage and is still jointly produced by Li Zongsheng, Guangliang and Li Zhengfan.
Excellent musicians from all over Taiwan Province have also participated in it. Seeing that the little girl named Liang is so highly praised, there are rumors in the outside world that Liang Jingru is probably Li Zongsheng's daughter.
It’s so doting.
"Courage" is exactly the name of this album.
According to sources within Rolling Stone, the album should be released in the middle of next year.
After learning about this, Zhou Jianhui immediately thought of sniping.
Liang Jingru is very good, and their Yanzi is not bad either.
However, Zhou Jianhui had simply thought about it before and was not prepared to fight head-on. After all, Li Zongsheng's appeal was too terrifying.
With so many well-known musicians participating, the quality of Liang Jingru’s new album must be very good.
But now.
It seems possible to try one or two.
These five poems written by teacher 'Erjun' are also of very high quality!
Add in five fine songs, and their Yan Zi is completely worthy of Liang Jingru.
Next, Zhou Jianhui didn't mention the production again. He knew that Teacher 'Erjun' preferred to relax.
As a well-known best-selling author, 'Erjun' had little exposure when he arrived, and there were only a few interviews in total.
It’s so low-key that it’s outrageous!
The same goes for songwriting and stuff like that.
It’s not like no one in the industry has approached Mr. Erjun, and some even offered a sky-high price of 500,000 yuan for a song, but even so, Mr. Erjun didn’t agree.
However, Teacher Erjun, who never writes songs for others, took out five songs in one breath today.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jianhui was extremely moved.
no!
He must repay Teacher Erjun well!
The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, he would fly to America, and when he arrived at the headquarters, he would fight for a good contract for Shen Miaomiao despite his old face.
Otherwise, he will feel that he is sorry for Teacher Erjun.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Jianhui retracted his thoughts and joined the discussion between Teacher Xiaoke and Teacher Erjun.
The two of them were discussing the arrangement of these five songs.
In fact, it is not so much a discussion as it is Teacher Xiaoke asking for advice.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.
Although Teacher Erjun didn't say much, every sentence was on a key point. In just a few words, Teacher Xiaoke was completely impressed.
In addition to lyrics and music, arrangement is also very important.
Lyrics and music determine the upper limit of a song, while arrangement determines the lower limit of a song. If the arrangement is good enough, even if the quality of the lyrics and music itself is not good, it will not be difficult to listen to it.
When we are busy, time always passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, the sun has slowly set in the west.
