There are many music production companies in Beijing, and there are even more small studios.
In the Delong Building alone, there are Tianzhai Workshop, Golden Disc Culture, Sunshine Records and other well-known music production units in the industry, and the competition between them is very fierce.
Although Lu Chen's first choice for making a solo album was Tianzhai Workshop, the latter was not the only choice.
He didn't expect that there would be a small studio soliciting business in the lobby of the Delong Building.
It's really hard to do business these days!
While sighing, Lu Chen chatted with Wang Changsheng, the manager of Nirvana Studio in front of him for a few minutes.
Wang Changsheng dared to come here to solicit customers because he had some confidence. This Nirvana Studio has an independent recording studio and band. Its members include three graduates of Beijing Conservatory of Music, who can complete all the work from composition to the later stage.
The most important thing is that their prices are cheap.
Wang Changsheng said, "Our studio has the ability to guarantee the production quality of Tianzhai Workshop's D package. The price is only 100,000 yuan, and an album is only 100,000 yuan!"
Wang Changsheng is certainly not a shrewd businessman. He was obviously nervous when he offered the price. His eyes were fixed on Lu Chen, and his hands were involuntarily clenched into fists, as if he was worried that he would be ruthlessly rejected by the latter.
But he said the previous sentence very confidently.
And he knows Tianzhai Workshop very well.
Lu Chen feels a little interesting. The price of Tianzhai Workshop's D package is 250,000 yuan. Wang Changsheng asked for 100,000 yuan, and there is obviously room for bargaining. There should be no problem cutting down a little more.
But how can the other party guarantee the same quality?
Tianzhai Workshop's recording studio alone is said to have cost millions of yuan, and its advanced facilities are among the best in the industry. Lu Chen doesn't believe that Nirvana Studio will have such a big investment. Otherwise, as a manager, why does he need to run to pull business by himself?
And it's like waiting for a rabbit!
Lu Chen didn't think he was the rabbit hitting the tree. He thought about it and said, "Manager Wang, I'm going to release a solo album, but the quality requirements are very high. At present, it's Tianzhai Workshop, so I'm sorry."
Tianzhai Workshop's D package is not Lu Chen's choice. If he wants a cheaper package, he can also choose the E package.
At least it was more reliable than a small, unknown studio, right?
"Then … Then I'm really sorry to disturb you. I'm sorry for wasting your time."
Wang Changsheng awkwardly waved his hand and said, "I should be the one apologizing. Then … then goodbye."
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
He wasn't mocking him. He just felt that this person wasn't a businessman and didn't even know the basics of negotiation.
However, he had a better impression of Wang Changsheng.
Lu Chen stood up and took the initiative to extend his hand. "Manager Wang, I'll contact you again if there's a need."
"Good, good!"
Wang Changsheng hurriedly got up and shook hands with Lu Chen. "Thank you!"
Lu Chen nodded and left the teahouse.
When he left, Lu Chen also paid the bill by the way – a pot of tea here was not cheap.
Wang Changsheng sat for a while longer. When he called the waiter to pay the bill, he found that Lu Chen had already paid the bill. He hurriedly ran out to catch up with Lu Chen, but he couldn't find the latter!
Lu Chen returned to his home and spent the afternoon sorting out the songs of the album.
There are ten songs in an album. He originally finalized six songs, "You Who Sat Next To Me", "Love In The Wind", "The Brother Who Slept On My Upper Bunk", "Cinderella", "The Bright Times of Youth" and "Beauty".
Now he can add "Those Flowers" and "Ballad of Time". The eight songs are unified and classic enough.
For the first album in his life, Lu Chen will never be careless!
After careful consideration, "Once You" was also added to the album list.
"Once You" is not a folk song, but a light rock style, but Lu Chen likes this song very much. He decided to use this song as the ending song of the album, which is a little surprise egg.
In fact, it's really extravagant to think about it. Whether it's "You Who Sat Next To Me", "Love In The Wind" or "Those Flowers" or even "Beauty", any song is qualified to be the title song of an album for publicity and promotion.
Lu Chenput them all in the same album, which felt a bit of a waste of natural resources.
Owning the treasures of a world is so capricious!
As for the tenth song, Lu Chen has already thought about it.
This song is also a folk song, the same nostalgic style, and very nostalgic.
Just listen to it.
"… …
The open space below my house is a cinema,
It no longer appears on summer nights.
Today's children don't know the past,
The world people were intoxicated with at that time.
When I grew up, I watched them perform love,
When they kissed I felt sad,
Under the screen, children played games,
In the movie, someone cried for her.
La … …
There are no open-air cinemas in the city,
I can't see the opposite side of the screen anymore.
Are you still playing the game of that time,
You can't see the stars when you watch the movie,
La … … "
When Lu Chen finished singing this soothing, delicate and even a little poignant new song, the barrage in Lu Fei's live broadcast room was like a tide.
"It's so beautiful. Lu Fei Da is so talented!"
"It's very nostalgic. I like it!"
"It reminds me of when I was a child. The lyrics are so well written and the melody is even better!"
"What's the name of this song?"
"I strongly request to sing it again, no, it's ten more times!"
"Sing it ten more times + 1!"
"… …"
Lu Chen put down the guitar and said with a smile, "The name of this song is called Open-air Cinema. It's the first time I've sung it in the live broadcast room. It's to make up for what I owe you during this period of time, and I hope you can like it."
He went home and attended the graduation ceremony, so the live broadcast was temporarily suspended for a few days.
When it was restarted this evening, the online popularity of the live broadcast room was much less. At first, there were only 300,000 +.
Therefore, in addition to singing a new song, Lu Chen also wanted to announce a piece of good news.
After a pause, he continued, "In addition to telling everyone one more thing, that is, I'm going to rearrange all the songs I've written before, make a real album, and then publish it on the Internet!"
"When the time comes, everyone is welcome to buy and download it!"
As soon as his voice fell, the live broadcast room suddenly burst into an uproar!
"What? An album? I didn't hear it wrong, did I? "
"Lu Fei Da is mighty!"
"That's great, I've been looking forward to this day!"
"Host, Big, which website will your album be published on?"
"Don't say anything else. When the time comes, I'll inform all my friends and classmates to buy the original album!"
"Yes, we support the original album!"
"An online album costs 10 yuan. The students say that there's no pressure. It's just skipping breakfast!"
"The one in front is really a nouveau riche. Eating breakfast costs 10 yuan."
"But I want the CD more!"
“CD+1！”
“CD+2！”
“CD+10000！”
"…"
Along with the bullet screen, there were countless fish balls and aircraft carriers given by the nouveau riche!
This was the most direct way for Fish Fans to express their joy.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room became extremely warm, and the popularity value rose steadily due to the emergence of heavy rewards.
Although Lu Chen's every live broadcast was recorded, and all the songs he sang could be found in the forum Fish Nest, a specially produced music album was a completely different matter.
So far, apart from the hundreds of thousands of Fish Fans, Lu Chen has a group of real fans. They like the style of Lu Chen's live broadcast, like his original works, and like nostalgic or sad folk songs.
On the days when they couldn't see Lu Chen's live broadcast, they would repeatedly watch the past videos, listen to his songs over and over again, and spare no effort to recommend them to others.
These fans were no longer simple fans, but "fans", celebrity fans!
And they also had the strongest reaction to Lu Chen's upcoming album, and they most hoped that he could release a CD at the same time.
What kind of album is an online album? A CD is the real album!
Many "Lu Fei Fans" expressed through the bullet screen that they would buy CDs to support Lu Chen.
Their strong appeal, of course, was seen by Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was not easy to release a CD album than to release an online album, and it was easier to lose money — there were too few people who bought CDs to listen to songs.
However, the enthusiasm and eagerness of the fish fans gave Lu Chen a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind.
In fact, it was not impossible to release an online album and a CD album at the same time.
His idea came from the dream world, and it seemed that it had not appeared in this world!
…
While Lu Chen was communicating with fans in the live broadcast room, the first single of The Bionics under Light Rain Media also began its first wave of promotion on the Internet that night!
