Young people nowadays are really amazing!
Looking at the brother and sister in front of him, Lin Zhijie felt that he was really a little old.
His thinking can't keep up with the pace of young people.
Lu Chen, 22, has just graduated from college and is not majoring in music. He officially made his debut through a talent show with good ratings and became a rising star in the pop music world.
And he did not take the road to fame that most newcomers have to take. He did not sign with any agency and directly set up his own studio. Now he is going to release his first album. The speed of his rise is astonishing!
Lu Xi, Lu Chen's sister, is also his agent and studio manager, and is also dazzlingly young.
Although in Lin Zhijie's view, both Lu Chen and Lu Xi are immature enough, the spirit of self-confidence and self-improvement that they share deeply touched the old man in the circle.
Tan Hong likes to guide newcomers, and Lin Zhijie is not bad, so he helped them.
Nowadays, the domestic pop music world is in great need of energetic and capable up-and-coming stars!
Lin Zhijie shook his head and said, "You don't have to thank me. I'm also helping the company to pull business. The key is still up to you. Whether the CD album can be successfully released or not, the quality is the key …"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Lu Chen really has no problem in this regard!
From the preliminary competition of "Singing China" to the final, Lu Chen sang all original works.
"You Who Sat Next To Me", "Fly Higher", "The Bright Times of Youth", "Love In The Wind"... and the currently popular "Chasing Dream with a Childlike Heart" on the Internet, all of them were written by him. The first song is excellent, and even classic!
After careful calculation, it is not a problem to put together a complete album.
As for the quality of the song …
What else is there to say? He gave Lu Chen several 10 points as a judge!
Lin Zhijie immediately swallowed back the latter words and asked, "Where are you going to make this album?"
The musicdirector of Flying Stone Records found that he was slow enough. Lu Chen's album could have been put in his own company to produce promotion and distribution!
With the quality of these songs, Lu Chen's talent, coupled with the strong strength of Flying Stone Records, they may be able to create a small miracle and reproduce some of the glory of the record industry in those days.
Lin Zhijie has always been worried about the decline of the record industry.
The appearance of this opportunity immediately made him excited!
How could Lu Chen guess Lin Zhijie's thoughts? He replied without hesitation, "It's currently being produced at Nirvana Studios. Seven songs have been recorded. It should be completed in a week at most."
If it weren't for the delay of "Singing China" national tour competition, his debut album would have been completed.
However, this bit of time was nothing at all. It was equivalent to carrying out publicity in advance.
Lin Zhijie was instantly disappointed. How could you give your debut album to someone else so carelessly?
Nirvana Studios? What the hell was that?
I've never heard of it!
He suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to that studio. I want to give it a try!"
He secretly made a decision. If the production level of this Nirvana Studios is not good, then he will not care about face. He must pry Lu Chen's business over and do it again.
Didn't he say that it was about making money? Nowadays, releasing records is a loss. Lin Zhijie doesn't want to see these good songs being ruined, otherwise his conscience will feel uneasy!
In the current domestic environment, an excellent original song is hard to come by, let alone an entire album.
Lu Chen and Lu Xi looked at each other, not understanding why Lin Zhijie was so excited.
But the musicdirector of Flying Stone Records must be given face. Lu Chen hurriedly said, "Okay, then I'll take you there now. Nirvana Studios is also in the park. It's very close."
Lin Zhijie waved his hand: "Let's go!"
He can't wait to listen to Lu Chen's album, even if it's still a semi-finished product.
Lu Xi paid the bill, and then the group left the Blue Court Cafe and rushed to Nirvana Studios.
On the way, Lu Chen called Wang Jing to inform her to get ready.
When they arrived at Nirvana Studios, all the members came out to greet them!
Wang Jing, Wang Hui and Wang Changsheng, plus the other three members of the Nirvana band, looked very grand.
Seeing Lu Chen and others coming over, Wang Jing stepped forward and saluted Lin Zhijie and said, "Hello, Teacher Lin!"
Lin Zhijie was shocked by her and said in a daze, "Well, you are?"
He has been in the industry for more than 20 years and has taught many apprentices, but there is no one in front of him.
Wang Jing explained, "Three years ago, you once gave a public lecture in Jingyin. I listened to it twice and benefited a lot."
"Oh!"
Lin Zhijie suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I was wondering when I had such a beautiful female student!"
Wang Jing couldn't help laughing.
She is a very refreshing girl, with short hair and no makeup, and a little cold and arrogant.
But she is also very beautiful, with no obvious flaws in her eyes, nose and mouth. If she dresses up carefully, puts on a skirt and goes out for a walk, it is unknown how many men's hearts she can seduce.
Lu Chen has been to Nirvana Studios many times, but he really hasn't seen Wang Jing smile more than a few times.
And when she smiles, the surrounding space seems to become bright.
Wang Changsheng said respectfully, "Director Lin, it's our honor to have you come to our studio."
Lin Zhijie is very famous in the circle, and has just served as a judge of "Singing China". Of course, Wang Changsheng knows him, and he is very happy in his heart.
This industry big shot visited Nirvana Studios. In the future, he will have light on his face!
Lin Zhijie is used to seeing all kinds of scenes, and he responded very appropriately: "You're too polite. Let's talk inside."
He came to listen to songs, not to socialize.
In fact, at this time, Lin Zhijie has already complained Big about Lu Chen in his heart.
This studio looks like a small workshop at first glance. Whether it's the reception room at the front desk or the office inside, they are cramped and unseemly. What good work can be made with such poor conditions?
It wasn't until he came to the recording studio that his impression changed.
In Lin Zhijie's professional eyes, this small recording studio is very professionally arranged, and the equipment investment is not too bad. Nirvana Studios should have used most of their funds on this, so it's so bad outside.
This kind of business attitude is still worthy of recognition.
However, Lin Zhijie still has doubts about the quality of the album.
After all, except for Wang Changsheng, the other members of Nirvana Studios are young people of about the same age.
Because there is no special listening room in the studio, Lin Zhijie directly asked for the monitoring headphones to listen to the high-quality sound source that has been recorded.
The specific operation was completed by Wang Hui.
Lin Zhijie spent more than half an hour listening to the story.
Due to his special identity, everyone was waiting in the recording studio.
Lu Chen and Lu Xi were fine. Wang Changsheng, Wang Hui, and Wang Jing all looked nervous and a little expectant.
Lin Zhijie is a real expert. There is no doubt about his professionalism. He came to Nirvana Studios to listen to Lu Chen's debut album. The level of its evaluation will undoubtedly affect the studio's reputation in the industry.
If Lin Zhijie said no, then even if Nirvana Studios does not immediately close down, it will be very difficult in the future. Because of the bad reputation, not many customers are willing to send business.
But if he could give a few words of praise, then the situation would be completely reversed!
In this anxious waiting, Lin Zhijie finally finished listening to all the seven works that have been recorded.
He took off the monitoring headphones and looked a little complicated.
As far as the current works are concerned, Lin Zhijie is not very satisfied. He heard a lot of problems.
For example, the arrangement is not perfect enough, the instrumental music accompaniment lacks enough layering and detailed performance, the post-processing technique is slightly immature, and does not fully express the mood and emotion of the song …
But it is undeniable that Nirvana Studios is very serious and attentive in making this album. As far as the conditions and equipment here are concerned, it is already very good to rely on the strength of a few young people to achieve this level. He really can't ask for too much.
Therefore, Lin Zhijie inevitably feels conflicted. On the one hand, he hopes that Lu Chen's debut album is perfect. On the other hand, he does not want or can't bear to discourage these diligent young people.
Attitude determines everything!
The most important thing is that this is Lu Chen's own choice.
Lin Zhijie thought for a moment and said, "There are some problems, but overall, it's okay."
He pointed out the flaws in the system.
If it were someone else, they might not be so serious. They would say something nice and have nothing to do with themselves.
But Lin Zhijie is not like this. He doesn't like that kind of hypocritical communication.
Say what you want to say, and be blunt!
For Wang Jing, Wang Hui, and others, this is undoubtedly an excellent learning opportunity for them. Usually, even if the studio spends money to hire someone, they can't invite a person of Lin Zhijie's level to come and personally guide them.
Therefore, everyone listens very carefully. The more critical the words are, the more they keep them in mind!
Only when they know the shortcomings can they be corrected.
Lin Zhijie was so excited that he forgot his own principles and analyzed several songs comprehensively.
Lu Xi doesn't understand. The more she listens, the more uncertain she becomes. She can't help but look at Lu Chen.
There are so many problems in the new album. Can it still work?
Lu Chen gave her an affirmative look.
No matter which company produced an album, it was impossible for it to be truly perfect.
Nirvana Studios is really not strong enough, but Wang Jing and Wang Hui's work attitude makes him speechless. Even if there are certain flaws, it will not have much impact on the overall quality.
The production cost of 100,000 yuan is already worth it!
