Chapter 22 First Single
On Monday, at Tianfeng Entertainment's recording studio, Sister Chen not only found someone to compose the song for Zhou Tianhua's "One Wing Butterfly", but also used her own face to invite Wen Bingkang, the gold medal producer of Tianfeng Entertainment, to be the producer of this single.It can be seen how much she attaches importance to Yan Zi's single album.

When Yan Zi brought Feng Xiaoyun in, Sister Chen's eyes lit up when she saw the Tang suit on Yan Zi's body.Although it is said that female singers pay more attention to sound conditions, it has to be said that appearance is also a considerable plus item.Otherwise, why would someone be fond of the word "Sweet Songs"?

Moreover, nowadays artists rarely only develop in a single way. If they have good looks, they can train their acting skills, and then they can play some roles in film and television dramas, and it will be easier to attract fans.Taking a step back, if your acting skills are too bad, you will only stare, but if you are beautiful, you can at least go to variety shows.

"The clothes are nice and match you very well." Sister Chen gave her a rare compliment, and also showed a rare smile.

But Yan Zi's next words immediately turned her face from sunny to cloudy.

"Sister Chen, I want to sing this song I wrote." Yan Zi drank too much that day, and didn't know that she actually wrote the lyrics under Feng Xiaoyun's various hints and guidance, but felt that the lyrics were completely hers. The state of mind is her handwriting again, so it is taken for granted that she wrote it herself.

"Yan Zi, I know that every singer hopes to be labeled as a singer-songwriter. But this is your first single, which is very important to you, and it can even be said to be a stepping stone for you to enter the record market. Well, the company will definitely consider the resources invested in you."

"But..." Yan Zi bit her lip, and said persistently: "But, this song, I really think it's...very good."

After thinking about it, he said confidently, "Very good!"

"Do you have a sample?" Wen Bingkang, who was next to her, asked before Sister Chen could speak.

"This is Mr. Wen Bingkang, our gold medal producer of Tianfeng." Sister Chen introduced.

"Haha, what kind of gold medal producer is loved by everyone, just call him Brother Wen."

"Hello Brother Wen!"

"How is it? Little girl, do you have a demo? Singers always use songs to speak. Tell me what you have to say. I have made music for so many years. I can still tell the difference between good and bad. If it is really better than "The One-Winged Butterfly" Alright, then I will take the place of your manager and use your own song."

"Yes, yes." Feng Xiaoyun stepped forward and handed a player to Wen Bingkang.

"Hey, HiFiWOMAN, this is the latest HW3000. There is something there." Wen Bingkang took the player and played with it for a while. This thing is really a magic tool for people who listen to music, but most people can't recognize it. .At least Yan Zi thought it was an ordinary black player.

"Hey, it's a gift from a friend, a gift." Feng Xiaoyun dug out two earphones from his bag.This HW3000 has two headphone jacks. As for the two headphones, of course it is because he and Yan Zi each use one on the way here.

"Knowledgeable!" Wen Bingkang took over two Audio-Technica earphones.But thinking about it, Yan Zi is wearing more than 2 Tang suits, and he didn't say anything. There are more rich second generations playing music, so it's not surprising.

After putting on one, he handed the other to Sister Chen who had a frosty face, and pressed the play button.

The prelude piano sounded, well, it should be a lyrical slow song.

While listening, Wen Bingkang's feet beat the beat of the music.

Listening, the beat stopped, his expression became serious, and then he closed his eyes.

When the first chorus is over, it's over, and the subsequent repetitions are not recorded.

Wen Bingkang opened his eyes, looked at Sister Chen who was beside him with a shocked expression, and said, "Sister Chen, you have dug a treasure!"

Taking off the earphones, Wen Bingkang looked at Yan Zi and asked, "You wrote the lyrics?"

"No, I wrote the lyrics and Feng Xiaoyun helped me compose the music."

"Who is Feng Xiaoyun? I haven't heard of it. Is he also a newcomer?"

"That..." Feng Xiaoyun raised his right hand, "I am Feng Xiaoyun."

Now it was Wen Bingkang's turn to be shocked. After so many years of music, it's not like he hasn't heard good songs, so although he thought this song was a very good song at the beginning, he was not shocked.

Feng Xiaoyun followed Yan Zi in just now, but he didn't care, he looked like an assistant at first glance, and he didn't need to care about the name of this newcomer's assistant.

But now he was told that the song was written by the assistant of a pure newcomer whose name he didn't even know just now.Are assistants so demanding now?

"So you wrote the lyrics for this song?" Wen Bingkang pointed to Yan Zi, then turned his hand and pointed to Feng Xiaoyun next to him, "And you composed the music?"

"Yep!"

Hey, old, old, how about Qianlang died on the beach?Today's young people are really not to be underestimated.

"Sister Chen, there's nothing to say. I think you can tell the quality of this song. It's definitely better than Zhou Tianhua's."

"That's right, it's indeed better than Zhou Tianhua's song," Sister Chen said with a helpless wry smile, "I'm going to offend people now. At that time, I had to sell favors to get it from Zhou Tianhua, but now I don't use his song, isn't it? Are you clearly slapping someone in the face?"

"I'm sorry, Sister Chen! This song was written only the day before yesterday." Yan Zi also thought of this, and it was really too embarrassing to do so. He told people clearly that I got your song, but I still have Better yet, so can't use your song.

"Forget it, I can't blame you." Sister Chen waved her hand, "I can't say that there are better songs and I don't want to use them. I have to choose worse ones."

The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more.Besides, Zhou Tianhua's request for a song was originally private, and it was not disclosed to the public. Except for a few people in the recording studio, only the friends she invited to compose knew about it.Just give him a call and ask him not to spread the word about it.

So at most, Zhou Tianhua had a pimple in his heart, but it didn't affect the outside world.

"Okay, let's hurry up and get ready!" Sister Chen patted Yan Zi on the shoulder.Now that the quality of the songs has improved, she has more confidence.

And it's really like what Wen Bingkang said, maybe I really found a treasure.Yan Zi is beautiful, tall, and able to compose songs by herself. In addition, she is also from a major. Although her singing skills are still a little immature, her voice is very good.The sound is clean and the range is wide. As long as there is some luck and opportunities, the future achievements will definitely not be low.

Yan Zi walked into the recording studio and began to open his voice to prepare. Feng Xiaoyun, sister Chen and Wen Bingkang were outside.

"Feng Xiaoyun, has the copyright of this song been registered?"

"Yes, Sister Chen, I have already registered." The copyright registration is very fast now, and the system is very smart. As long as the songs you record are not limited to plagiarism, the registration will be completed soon.However, if it is identified as plagiarism, it will also be blacklisted, and it will be very difficult to register copyright in the future.

"Okay, then, as a composer, do you have any requirements for song revenue?"

"There are no special requirements, just follow the company's normal rules."

"To be honest, this song is really good, but you and Yan Zi are both newcomers, so I don't think the company will charge too high a price. The song lyrics promised to Zhou Tianhua at that time was 3 yuan, plus 3% of the follow-up income .I can promise you [-]% of the follow-up income now, but I can’t guarantee how much cash I can give you and Yan Zi in the future, but I will try my best to fight for you.”

In Tianfeng Entertainment, the basic income is 3% for the lyrics and composition, and 2% for the singer.As for the fee given earlier, it depends on the reputation of the composer and the quality of the lyrics.

"Don't worry, the quality of this song is still very good." Wen Bingkang said on the sidelines: "As long as the digital album sells well in the future, it will be a small amount of money in the future. It is not a bad thing to lose a few thousand to sell the company's favor."

Wen Bingkang is afraid that young people will be arrogant about their talents, and feels that the company must pay a high price for their good writing.In fact, these thousands of dollars are nothing to such a big company, but the rules are not easy to break. If the price is too high for newcomers, what about those who are already famous?Therefore, although there are no express regulations, there are unspoken rules about how much the songwriters of each file pay.

And if the album sells well, it is true that the follow-up share is the big one.

"Thank you, Sister Chen, Brother Wen, I have no objection." Feng Xiaoyun replied, and she knew that Yan Zi would not have any objections. It was her greatest wish to be able to release this song. The company didn't post it, so she figured out a way to record it herself and post it online for free.

"Good boy, since you know how to compose music, have you ever thought about switching careers to become a songwriter?" Wen Bingkang asked.

"Haha, Brother Wen, I still can't do it. You know, this thing only works when the inspiration comes. I happen to be the kind with less inspiration. If I change careers and can't write, I should have nothing to eat. I'm still old. Just be my assistant."

"Hahaha, not bad, I am more optimistic about you, boy. There are not many young people who can recognize themselves in a down-to-earth manner. If you have inspiration in the future, and the song is not suitable for your artist, you can come Find Brother Wen, Brother Wen will help you find another home."

The three chatted casually for a while, and Yan Zi had already finished speaking inside, so everyone shut up and signaled to her that she could start recording the song officially.

As a result, after the first line was sung, Wen Bingkang yelled to stop.

"Yanzi, is this your first time recording a song?"

Seeing Yan Zi nodding, Wen Bingkang said: "After you sing a sentence, don't close your mouth completely. You must know that this radio equipment is very sensitive. The sound of your mouth opening and closing will be recorded. Although the sound can be muted later, it can be avoided. Avoid."

"Okay, let's continue."

Since it was the first time to record a song, it was inevitable that I was a little nervous, and I didn't know some small skills of recording songs, so I recorded many times intermittently.

Fortunately, each time became smoother and smoother, and finally Wen Bingkang said at three o'clock in the afternoon: "OK, it's ok, this time it's perfect."

Yan Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and kept singing like this. If he couldn't do it anymore, his voice fatigue would be too high, so he could only continue tomorrow. Fortunately, it finally passed.

His first single has been recorded.
