Chapter 353 Fang Yajun's New Album
Xiao Tianlang first arrived at the Red Society Hall before Du Xinghe and the others, and was already waiting for the two of them in the elegant private room.
The Red Association has publicly booked a total of twenty-four private rooms. The "Twenty-Four Poems" by the poet Sikongtu of the late Tang Dynasty is the theme of each private room, which is quite stylish.
Xiao Tianlang made an appointment with the "Choyi" private room that night. The room was not large. In ancient times, except for the hall, the separate rooms were actually very small, only a dozen square meters. The furnishings inside were all retro furniture, quite ancient and elegant.
After the lady in charge took Du Xinghe and Xu Nuo to the private room, she left by herself to avoid disturbing the celebrity meeting.
There is no saying that the small private room is open to the public. The guild halls all serve the guests in a position, which saves the trouble of celebrities from ordering dishes. Most of the people who come here to talk about things and eat second, so there is no need to waste other people's time on ordering dishes.
"Xiao Zhizhi, you arrived early enough. I arrived ten minutes in advance. I didn't expect you to arrive faster than me." After Du Xinghe brought Xu Nuo into the door, he started to greet Xiao Tianlang.
Xiao Tianlang had already taken off his black tweed jacket and hung it on the hanger. At this time, his upper body was dressed in a simple white shirt, and his thin appearance really looked like a model worker.
After having dinner with Du Xinghe several times, the relationship became more and more familiar. If Du Xinghe came alone, Xiao Tianlang would save some trouble of greetings and greetings and would not get up to welcome Du Xinghe. But Du Xinghe came with Xu Nuo. Xiao Tianlang had only met Xu Nuo once in the Yun World and had not had a meal privately. So he had to get up and greet the two of them, "I have nothing to do here, so I came early."
Xiao Tianlang's eyes were intersecting with Du Xinghe for a while, and turned to Xu Nuo.
"Xiao is ready." Xu Nuo immediately greeted Xiao Tianlang.
Xiao Tianlang smiled and nodded to Xu Nuo, saying hello to Xu Nuo.
Xiao Tianlang's attitude was very friendly, but Xu Nuo always felt that this person's eyes were terrible. Xiao Tianlang's eyes were dry brown and there were a little spots on it. It looked not very healthy or very spiritual. However, it was very calm. People who were stared at by his eyes would inexplicably feel like they were seen through. When people were seen through, they were always a little worried, so they looked at Xiao Tianlang. Many people would be afraid, especially those who had ghosts in their hearts.
Just like Xu Nuo is now staring at Xiao Tianlang and smiling slightly. She feels that her relationship with Du Xinghe seems to be revealed by Xiao Tianlang, because his smile seems to be subtle!
"Xu Nuo has just returned from the United States. We have to attend a birthday party of a former Huayi classmate, so we came together." Du Xinghe explained to Xiao Tianlang in front of Xu Nuo, so as not to feel like he is a light bulb.
Xiao Tianlang smiled and understood, and said, "It's okay, it's just a simple meal. Eating with a cute girl is always a happy thing for me, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Tianlang spoke and looked at Xu Nuo politely again.
Xu Nuo didn't expect that a big production like Xiao Tianlang had such a good relationship with Du Xinghe, and he felt much more relaxed. He smiled sweetly at Xiao Tianlang, thanking Xiao Tianlang for his praise for her.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Tianlang immediately spyed on the military information: "Xu Nuo, you are in good momentum recently. I heard from Mr. Du that you are recording a new album. When will you release it?"
Xu Nuo was stunned by Xiao Tianlang's question. She didn't expect Xiao Tianlang to care about her new album, and she didn't know whether she should leak this trade secret.
Du Xinghe quickly followed Xiao Tianlang's words, but did not make Xu Nuo embarrassed, and said, "We will not have a car collision with your little king. We know it ourselves. Don't worry. If the recording goes well, Xu Nuo's new album should be released in May."
The three of them sat at the round table in an equal triangle position. Xiao Tianlang took a sip of tea and said to Du Xinghe: "Look at this speed, your Yun World is a month-long album. March, April Yi Yan, May Xu Nuo, who is June?"
Xu Nuo was stunned by Xiao Tianlang's statement. How could this super producer know so much about the order of Yunshi's release of albums? Even Yi Yan knew about the release of albums in April! After thinking about it briefly, it was probably because of her absence that Du Xinghe and Xiao Tianlang had further negotiations and had already finalized the promotion and distribution of Yi Yan's new album.
Du Xinghe has told Xu Nuo that Yi Yan's new album will be promoted and distributed by Guoyu, which is also an experimental collaboration. If Yi Yan's album is sold well, it means that Guoyu attaches great importance to cooperation with Yunshi. In this way, in the future, singers in Yunshi will have more promotional options. After all, it is far from enough for them to rely on Hongyan's family to promote and promote and promote.
Although Hongyan has strong abilities, his manpower and material resources are limited after all. There are more and more singers in Yunshi. Hongyan himself has singers. They are not super big companies of the level of National Entertainment, and they can make effective promotion and distribution plans for many singers at the same time.
The effect of letting Hongyan promote one or two singers at the same time may be obvious, but if they push too much, they will be unable to do so. What's more, Hongyan also signed the promotion and distribution work of Fang Yajun, the great god. The focus of their company in the second half of the year is to package and promote Fang Yajun. It is almost a battle that has achieved great success. It is impossible to have more manpower and material resources to promote other singers.
Du Xinghe had long expected this point, so he would contact Guoyu, including the target, to establish more promotional channels. At the same time, he was also planning to take advantage of the opportunity of collecting and merging publishing houses to gradually establish Yunshi's own publicity, publishing and distribution team.
At this moment, Xiao Tianlang asked who released the album in Yunshi in June, and Du Xinghe was in a good mood and joked:
"June Fang Yajun."
Hearing this well-known name, Xiao Tianlang's hand holding the teacup shook slightly, his face seemed to be getting ugly, but he forced himself to keep calm and asked Du Xinghe: "Didn't you say that Fang Yajun only released the album in the month of **? Why is it going to June in advance?"
Du Xinghe knew that Xiao Tianlang was paying close attention to the actions of Yun World now, so he was true to Xiao Tianlang and could not give everything to Xiao Tianlang.
He took the oolong tea that Xu Nuo poured him. Du Xinghe took a sip. The fragrance was fragrant, astringent and sweet, and it became sweet when it entered his throat. This is the top oolong tea in China produced in the suburbs of Fuwan, the suburbs of northwest Fuwan.
Du Xinghe prefers the taste of this kind of tea, but he doesn't like drinking it very much, because according to legend, men who often drink Tieguanyin cannot have a son. He himself does not believe in these, but in the previous plane, several friends around him who do not believe in this set of friends. After all, he doesn't drink Tieguanyin much.
In this plane, it is still early to have children, so he is not afraid of these things and starts to enjoy this very fragrant oolong tea.
Although he drank oolong tea, he did not do oolong things. Du Xinghe naturally did not give Fang Yajun's album so much in advance. He could not release Fang Yajun's new album in advance, and it might even be postponed! Because after Chen Xi saw nearly 100 classic songs he had given Fang Yajun, he overturned their plan to release a single-disc album for Fang Yajun. He asked Fang Yajun's first comeback album to produce a twenty-song song album with two-disc!
There is no other reason for doing this, because there are too many classic songs, and even Chen Xi is not easy to make a choice! After all, this album is related to Fang Yajun's status and future in the music industry, so it must be done with caution. So Chen Xi proposed the idea of launching a double-disc album.
Generally, online singers rarely release double-disc albums, unless they are albums that promote old songs and new songs, or they are directly old song albums with multiple songs splicing together.
It’s purely new songs, so there is no need for a singer to push two discs in one breath, first post one disc, let the market slowly digest, then push one, and wait for the market to digest. This rhythm is in line with the market rules.
There is a rare precedent in the music industry that promotes a new album with pure new songs in one go. At least famous singers have not done this. Even top-notch singers like Zhang Dehua would not choose to release new albums in this way, because there is no need. One album and one disc is enough to sell. Two discs, double the songs, and they are all new songs, which means that the risk is doubled. After all, it is impossible for every song in the album to be a classic. If fans don’t accept it, it will be a waste of money.
A album has ten songs, a few classics, a few plain songs, and a few pairs of plain songs. This is the most perfect album release method proven by the market, and it is also the rhythm that fans have long been accustomed to. If you rashly create two new CD albums, how do you match the classic songs and plain songs in it?
For 20 songs, even if there are few ordinary songs, they have to account for half of them, and half of them are 10 songs. Can fans accept so many ordinary songs being pushed to fans at one time?
Just think about it and you will know how risky this is, so mature producers will not make albums for singers like this.
Chen Xi proposed to Fang Yajun to make a double-disc album, which is actually a bit risky. After all, there is no precedent for such albums to be successfully sold on the market.
In the days before the Spring Festival, he carefully listened to the 100 songs written by Du Xinghe for Fang Yajun. After listening to them carefully, he racked his brains to study them, but still failed to make a perfect single-disc style combination, because no matter how they played, even if all the 10 songs were played, he still felt that there were better songs that were not included.
The batch of songs written by Du Xinghe, which are more than 30 years old, can be regarded as classic when paired with Fang Yajun! With all the popular elements, as long as they are put in the music industry, they will definitely be popular! At least 15 of them can be used as the title song of the album alone! These 15 classic songs are all classics, how do you ask him to choose?
Chen Xi knew the most about how important this album is to Fang Yajun, but he was so stressful when choosing these songs. In order to match Fang Yajun's album, this master did not have a good time for the Chinese New Year this year. He spent a lot of time studying Du Xinghe's creations. The more he studied, the more he was shocked! This young man's creative talent is really too powerful!
For music creators, including Chen Xi himself, most of the songs written over the years are actually plain, and only a few songs can be circulated and become classics. Most of the remaining ones are buried in the scrap paper box.
However, the 100 songs written by Du Xinghe, not counting the super classic ones. Even if they are ordinary, Chen Xi thinks they are all songs with the ability to publish!
And these songs are not processed from assembly lines like most musicians today, just like processing screws.
The 100 songs Du Xinghe have many styles, completely different melody structures, and even the lyrics are very different. There is no rule at all.
If I didn’t say that this was written by one person, Chen Xi would think this was a fine playlist that dozens of top musicians spent a lot of time creating!
I have seen Du Xinghe's creative strength before and know that Du Xinghe is a super genius who can create classic works with superman's first-class inspiration in a short period of time, so Chen Xi has no doubt about these songs written by Du Xinghe.
Du Xinghe was able to write so many classic songs for Fang Yajun in such a short time, according to Fang Yajun's characteristics, which made Chen Xisheng have the idea of breaking the rules, that is, to produce a double-disc collection for Fang Yajun!
He even wanted to give Fang Yajun a suggestion to release a three-disc album! However, considering the market acceptance, he finally proposed the idea of producing a two-disc album.
Since Du Xinghe is so capable of writing songs, they don’t have to worry that there will be no good songs in the future. They don’t have to do anything like most online producers now. After they catch a few good songs, they have to save some use and wish they could break the popular good songs into two songs (imitation one similar song) and release two albums for use. In this way, after the first album is sold, they immediately use imitation songs as the mainstay to post a similar album. Usually in this case, the sales of the latter album will be very high.
The reason why the albums today are published with a few classics and a few plain songs is even a few albums with only one classic song. The other are very plain. The reason is that there are too few good songs. This is a problem that every producer has a headache and must face.
However, for Du Xinghe, it was not because he wrote too few good songs that made the producers a headache. The songs he wrote were too few, which made the producers scratch their heads!
It was because Chen Xi felt that it was not perfect no matter how he matched it, so he broke his head and came up with a strategy of double-disc compilation.
Fang Yajun has been dormant for too long, and fans have been looking forward to her for too long.
I gave Fang Yajun a classic double-disc album with 20 songs in one breath. The market will definitely be able to digest it. Who wouldn’t want to pay for a good song?
Only when 20 classic works of conscience are released can we be worthy of those fans who have always been thinking about Fang Yajun!
Based on this consideration, Chen Xi finally ordered 15+10 carefully selected classic works for Fang Yajun, and made suggestions to Fang Yajun, asking Fang Yajun to use the 15 songs he selected, and add 5 of the other 10 songs to make a double-disc collection.
Fang Yajun conveyed Chen Xi’s suggestions to Du Xinghe. After listening to Chen Xi’s reasons conveyed by Fang Yajun, Du Xinghe also thought this method was feasible. Just use a double disc to make Fang Yajun rule the world again!
During the period when Xu Nuo was away after the Spring Festival, the team from Yunshi, with Fang Yajun's team and Hongyan's team, held several major meetings. Finally, Fang Yajun's new album was confirmed in the form of a double-disc album! The songs were all selected. And with Fang Yajun's strong suggestion, the name of the new album was also decided, which was called "The Sunshine Always After the Storm and Rain"!
This name is obvious at a glance, which tells the story of Fang Yajun over the past seven years.
This name is also the name of a classic song in this album. However, "The Sunshine Always After the Storm" is not the title song of this album, because there is no title song for this album. Except for the song "He Loved Me for a Long Time" that Fang Yajun wants to give to fans, the other songs are all title songs!
Such an album as precious as a diamond, which gathers the wisdom of the previous plane's digital music master. It is the most important album of Yunshi in the second half of this year, the album that Du Xinghe is most looking forward to, and the album that Fang Yajun finally made a comeback after waiting for eight years. It is also the album that Hongyan Records wants to spend the most money in history to promote! All aspects attach great importance to this kind of album!
Starting from late March, Hongyan will build momentum for Fang Yajun's new album. Fang Yajun also started to exercise, practice her voice, adjust her state after the Spring Festival, and prepare to start recording work in mid-March.
According to the plan of all parties, this period should be the time when Du Xinghe gave Fang Yajun's album production and arrangement. Before Fang Yajun started recording in mid-March, Du Xinghe would arrange at least one-third of the songs.
When it comes to arrangement, the most workload and the most boring job in music creation is because musicians need to repeatedly match and debug, and strive to present the content that the song wants to express.
It usually takes several weeks for musicians to make classic arrangements for a song, but everyone knows that Du Xinghe is a super genius, so I believe Du Xinghe will be able to complete the arrangement of this album soon.
Du Xinghe could naturally complete this job easily because these classic song arrangements have long been in his mind. He didn't have to spend too much effort on this, and he just re-arranged the instruments in a few songs, so as to better match Fang Yajun's Tianlai's singing.
The most important task of this album after that was Fang Yajun's recording work. Although Fang Yajun's strength was extraordinary, it would take a lot of time to show the perfect level of each of the 20 songs with relatively large style differences.
The recording time for Du Xinghe to Fang Yajun is expected to be about three months, that is, before mid-July, and must be completed. During this period, Hongyan also needs to promote Fang Yajun's comeback. After everything is right, Fang Yajun's new album will be launched in August or September.
However, these are all expected plans. After all, this time we will record 20 songs, not 10 songs, so what will happen in the future may not happen, so Fang Yajun's album may also be postponed. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
