Chapter 13 Just a hobby
"I've already made an appointment with a recording studio. How about we record a demo first? They arranged for me to have a bar singer to help me, plus a sound engineer. Although it's not perfect, I can still make a judgment. ”
Li Weida was impatient to rush over so quickly and didn't want to waste time.
He was moved after hearing Wang Yi say that it would not be worse than "Gu Yong".
Writing lyrics and composing music is cheap, and music creators simply can't afford it, but the same goes for singers looking for good songs that suit them well. Both parties are looking for a match.
At least the song "Gu Yong" is a rare masterpiece in recent years. The key is that it has a flavor that is suitable for all ages, and can be accepted by young people or children.
If it is really the same level, two hundred thousand is definitely not a loss.
Freelance musicians can't sell high prices even if they have good songs. That's because they lack relevant channels. If the copyright falls into his hands, the price increase will be more than that.
Therefore, the ones who can maximize the value among musicians are actually singer-songwriters, who can not only enrich the singer's own personality, but also increase the price.
"Okay."
The recording studio had been prepared before seeing the other party coming. Wang Yi also knew that the deal was done. He was sincerely asking for a song.
And at present, it seems that the other party is more confident than expected. It always feels like a young man who is eager to prove to his elders. He is very impatient and plunges headlong into his career.
The recording studio is not far away. As a film and television city, there will definitely be no shortage of recording studios nearby.
After Li Weida brought Wang Yi in, a decadent handsome guy with long hair and a mustache and an artistic dress directly greeted Li Weida with a smile
"Hey, Young Master Li is quite fast."
Judging from the relaxed and teasing tone, he must be an acquaintance.
On the phone before, Li Weida said that he had acquaintances in the film and television industry in Zhudian. He was not bragging. The person in front of him who could set up a recording studio here must have some connections.
"Please, if you have a guest here, can you sew your mouth shut? If word gets out, you want to put me on the fire."
Li Weida rolled his eyes at the decadent handsome man helplessly.
The latter also restrained himself.
The bickering between the two also made Wang Yi discover some interesting points, not too visible?
illegitimate child?
However, Wang Yi was just doing business and had no interest in going into details.
"Hello, Teacher Wang Yi, you can call me Sayre. Your "Gu Yong" is really good."
The decadent handsome guy came to Wang Yi and introduced himself.
However, you can clearly feel the politeness in the words. Maybe for a person who plays music like him, he will not appreciate the words of "Gu Yong" very much. Everyone has their own preferences, and maybe others are blowing it. The songs that are so magical are actually just average to my own ears.
"Hello, I'm sorry to trouble you later."
This Sai Rui should be the owner of the recording studio, and he also has a group of horses under him, and the equipment he has here looks very high-end, but there are many outside lines, which makes it look a bit messy.
Soon a small team came out, along with a beautiful woman with red hair and cool clothes.
"This beauty's name is Jiang Xin. I'll rely on her for the next stage of singing. Don't worry, she has a professional bel canto background and her singing skills are quite solid, which is enough for Vida to make a judgment."
Seri introduced the female singer alone.
A person who practiced bel canto ended up singing in a bar, which shows that musicians are also very good at it.
And Jiang Xin also looked like she was lazily awake. Her eyes were dark circles or eyeshadow, but they matched her well.
Wang Yi also likes to save time. After all the people were ready, he immediately took out the two songs registered this time.
"Wheat Waves" and "Hong Kong Nights" are not available in this parallel world, and the music style is gentle and soothing for all ages.
At first glance, it doesn't seem to have much impact. It is completely different from the style of "Gu Yong", but it can easily put people into a relaxing mood.
Generally speaking, the speed of these two songs does not change much, but the intensity of the sound changes more. As long as the technology is up to standard, the recording speed will be quite fast.
Although Jiang Xin looked lazy, she was still very conscientious when she started recording and got into the mood. As a bel canto professional, her singing skills were also fully on point. At least the effect was directly displayed.
Before the finished product came out, Seri, as a professional musician, was surprised during the recording.
He has a lot of experience in opening a recording studio in Zhudian. Many movie soundtracks will have catchy songs, but it is still quite rare to have two high-quality pieces of music at the same time. Especially the song "Hong Kong Nights" can become a masterpiece when combined with the lyrics. The main melody song praises the navy.
This is a huge plus!
Make money with blood!
Li Weida was also very excited. Since he was going in this direction, he was naturally good at it.
It's definitely worth the trip.
Indeed, as Wang Yi thought, he wanted to make some achievements to show others.
"It's a pity. If Teacher Wang Yi was also a singer, he would definitely be an instant hit. The music scene is really sluggish now."
Li Weida said with some regret that the singers who can really stand up now are singer-songwriters, and then asked Wang Yi with some expectation
"There happens to be equipment here, do you want to try it?"
Just when Wang Yi was about to explain that music was just his hobby and his main job was scientific research.
Li Weida's subsequent words made Wang Yi hold back his words.
"If you sing well, you'll get more money."
"Then let me say a few words. My throat just feels itchy. By the way, how much should I add?"
Wang Yi looked very kind with a smile on his face.
"Fifty thousand single song."
Li Weida spoke directly, and he decided in his heart that even if Wang Yi was average, he would add this money to maintain the relationship between the two, so that he would definitely give priority to his side in the future.
Li Weida is not short of money, or rather, he is not short of this small amount of money. What he values more is long-term cooperation.
Wang Yi coughed and adjusted his voice, mainly to suppress some of the pronunciation skills of the elves. In the modern world, he should still act like a human.
But even so, as the ethereal and graceful voice emerged, everyone present could not help but widen their eyes.
Jiang Xin, who had always been lazy, suddenly became energetic. Hey, this guy used to practice opera, right?
Can a man produce such ethereal tones?
After the recording ended, the audience was still in shock, even more shocked than when the song was released.
After listening to good music too much, they will be immersed in the melody and recognize that these are two good songs, but they will not be too excited.
But now combined with Wang Yi's voice, which is close to the limit of human range, the effect has been directly sublimated.
This made them seem to see a new star rising.
"Teacher Wang Yi! Please join my economic company!"
Good guy, Li Weida went from collecting songs to becoming the boss of a management company? Maybe he was planning to start one temporarily.
"No need, we can just do normal business. I won't make a debut. I seem to have told you that I am a scientific researcher."
Wang Yi smiled and dismissed the other party's idea. In fact, he had already stopped singing, but he did not expect such a big reaction.
This excuse from scientific researchers really made Li Weida feel speechless and said without giving up
"You can be like Jay Chou, and hold all the copyrights in your own hands, and I will be responsible for the operation! The value of this will be ten times, a hundred times! Or even a thousand times that of selling songs directly!"
Adding money before made the other party relent, and he tried to draw a vision for the future again.
"No, I still want my main business to reach this level."
Selling songs is just a way for Wang Yi to raise quick money, not to debut as an idol.
In fact, music, like cooking, is just one of Wang Yi's many interests and abilities, used to adjust his mentality in his free time.
He has only one ultimate goal now.
That is the truth of magic and technology...
