Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 11 The crew buys songs

Seeing the title of this song, Zhou Yimo and Qiu Luo were both taken aback, and the sense of anticipation created by "People without ideals are not sad" was directly reduced by half.

It's not that the songs with lyrics and music propositions are not good, but that it is difficult to write well, unless those songwriters standing at the top of the pyramid can write good proposition works with years of accumulation and excellent lyrics and music skills.

But this is easy for Bian Lang. Others are writing propositional essays, and he is just doing multiple-choice questions to choose the best from the best.

When the lyrics were all written, Zhou Mo, who had been watching along, was dumbfounded.

There is absolutely no rock-and-roll element in the lyrics, but he feels that the song seems to be an in-depth interpretation of the movie, or a melodic, literary, and thoughtful film review.

"Who will fight for ideals, who will sacrifice for love, this sentence is really well written!"

"The once handsome boy, his age is gone. Doesn't this refer to the status quo of rock and roll in our country?"

"Moscow will no longer believe in anyone's tears, and she will no longer believe in anyone... This is the true portrayal of Big Brother at that time! It feels... wrong, Bianlang, which year were you born? You must not have been born at that time, right?" To have such an understanding of Big Brother’s disbandment, you don’t have to say you have experienced that era, but you must at least do some research. At your age, you shouldn’t have any special feelings about that period, right?”

Hearing this, Bian Lang didn't even make excuses about being influenced by his parents, and said directly: "I just made it up..."

"I believe in a ghost!" The other three said in unison!

Bian Lang smiled and picked up a glass of wine. After finishing it, he continued: "I will re-record the OST for "People without ideals are not sad" as soon as possible for Director Zhou, but for "Walking Tractor Sky", I suggest finding a doll. A female singer will sing, and I will arrange the music in the next two days."

The song "Original Earth" was written by Peng Pants for Zhang Qiang. With this powerful filter of original singing, Bian Lang felt that it would only be so good if it was sung by a similar female singer.Nie Dazhu's trotter once sang a cover in a variety show, and it became a nonsensical and funny style.

"Brother Lang, can't you just do it all by yourself? Why should the wealth flow out?" Qiu Luo didn't see the score and didn't know the style of the music, so he instinctively spoke for Bian Lang.

Zhou Yimo would like to hear what the author Bian Lang said: "Isn't this song a rock style?"

"Electronic dance music, disco!"

Hearing Bian Lang's answer, Qiu Luo looked at the brainwashing lyrics full of people's names, and after making up a melody in his mind, he instantly had a sense of the picture!

"Brother Lang, this is interesting! You record a demo first, and then we will find a singer as requested!" As a musician, Qiu Luo, an assistant director and music director, is fine.

Zhou Yimo also attached great importance to his opinion: "Okay, just do as Luotuo said. I don't think you have the intention to ask for a price, Mr. Bian, so I will mention one first. Our music procurement budget for the entire movie is 100 million. I will give you a quarter of these two songs, and you will get all the income from the OST album, what do you think?"

This price is similar to the OST price of "Sewing Machine Band" on the original earth, and is basically consistent with Bian Lang's psychological expectations. The key is that the price is [-] higher than the asking price of Magic Disk, which makes Bian Lang feel quite comfortable!

So this price is completely acceptable to him, and besides, the value of these two works is simply not something that this movie can fully exploit.

As for the other music in the movie, it really doesn't fit the plot, otherwise Bian Lang would be able to take out "Choose All", "No Hesitation" and "Goodbye Ideal", etc., and wrap up the songs of the entire movie for him.

"No problem, Director Zhou, prepare the contract with you." Now that he has made a decision, Bian Lang no longer hesitates.

Seeing that Bian Lang didn't make a counter-offer, Zhou Yimo happily raised his wine glass and clinked one, then he said hello and left the private room, probably to call to arrange the contract.

At this time, Zhu Yan, who had been silent until now, spoke: "Bian Lang, there are two things I want to discuss with you."

"Brother Yan, tell me!" Bian Lang was also a little curious, why Zhu Yan was so anxious to block him.

"I'm going to work at the radio station next Monday. My first plan is to use your song as the theme. If it's convenient, I would like to invite you to come over and help me make a program. It can be regarded as a good start for me, a newcomer in the workplace." Zhu Yan said The wording was careful, not at all casual as usual.

"Brother Yan is too polite! How can I help you? You are helping me! It is my wish to be able to promote the song on the Sound of Music. You prepare first, and wait for me to release the song. Record it and make an appointment with you!" Hong Ke mentioned the song before the performance, but he was more willing to sell this favor to Zhu Yan, after all, regardless of the closeness of the relationship, the inspiration for choosing this song has a lot to do with Zhu Yan.

"Okay, it's settled then! One more thing, after listening to your songs, I think it's a pity that Paradise Records has closed down. I want to pay the rent for another quarter, but I don't think you can do it now. I’m going to open an online car-hailing service again. If you have nothing to do during the day, can you help me look at the store? If you want a salary, a commission, or a member, you can just say it..."

Bian Lang didn't expect this, but from the bottom of his heart, he did feel it was a pity.

However, the record store business has already been verified on the original earth, and this relatively single business model is bound to be squeezed into a sunset industry by digital music.

Especially for low-end merchants like Jianshe Road, whose monthly rent starts at 200 square meters, it is really not easy to maintain a store of more than 100 square meters by selling discs.

"At this time, it is really difficult to get a good price for idling. If you are really reluctant, change to a cheaper location and find a second floor, and continue to do it as a side business."

Jianshe Road is next to the old campus of Dian University, the highest university in Yunnan Province, and the three universities including Dianyi are not far away. In addition to the affiliated middle schools of their respective universities, the commercial activities in this area are basically centered around students. carry out.

Right now, the graduation season is about to enter the summer vacation, and the flow of people is about to decline. At this time, the receivers will generally keep the price very low.

"I have been here for 10 years, and everyone has this atmosphere together, do you think it will work?"

As Zhu Yan said, Bian Lang doesn't plan to open an online car-hailing service anymore. Apart from recording songs, there are two things in front of him: moving songs and forming a band.If you are tired, you can find some music from Shui Lanxing and listen to it, so as to change your mind and get to know the tastes of the music fans here.

"Okay, but if I have something to do, I can only close the door for you! If I can carry it down, give me some dry shares..." Bian Lang joked!

"No problem, eat and drink can be settled in the middle of the mountain, take my order!" Zhu Yan said with a smile.

"Enough coffee, the kind that fills you with whiskey!" Bian Lang added.

……

At this time, in a hotel business suite, Li Yiliang was hanging his head, and a pad with a cracked screen on the floor was playing the replay of Little Witch's live broadcast room.

Wei Lan clasped her arms around her chest without saying a word.

The development of the situation was far from what was expected before the performance. The live broadcast of this performance made Bian Lang popular in the circle, but Li Yiliang, the original protagonist, didn't even have anyone to ask.

Li Yiliang wanted to turn around gracefully, but unexpectedly he hit the wall!

Especially after Baidao refunded the release fee to record the video, Magic Disc basically became the object of ridicule by insiders.

It is considered polite to say "buy a basket and return the pearl, the eyes are deaf, and the ears are still blind".

Just now Wei Lan received a call from Pan Xiulong and arranged some tasks for her.

In addition to keeping Li Yiliang from talking nonsense, we need to reconcile with Bian Lang at the company level as soon as possible, buy back the video copyright, and if possible, the cover song copyright and people should also be taken down together.

In fact, Magic Disc is also considered a victim, but Bian Lang himself took the initiative to say that those copyrights have nothing to do with him, so it is impossible for them to find fault with Li Yiliang in this matter.Besides, the copyright has already belonged to the company, so they have to help Li Yiliang with some things.

"Sister Wei, after this incident, will you still pay attention to me when you go back to the company?"

"Magic Disc's affiliates are all musicians, and they will not plan your development according to the standards of idols. The success or failure of a performance has little impact on you personally. This matter is not entirely bad for the company, black and red are also red. . The company will issue a public relations release tomorrow. What you have to do now is to clear your mind and don’t be affected by the waves."

"His song can't be held back, it's only a matter of time before he gets out of the circle. You just pull the band up according to the previous plan..."

At this moment, Wei Lan's phone rang. Seeing that it was Zhou Mo's number, she signaled Li Yiliang to mute her voice, adjusted her status before answering the phone.

"Director Zhou, today's reception is really bad. Don't worry, we will definitely record the OST..."

"If there is any dispute over the price, we can meet and talk again..."

Within a minute, Wei Lan hung up the phone with a livid face.

Seeing that Wei Lan's expression was not good, Li Yiliang asked tentatively, "Sister Lan, what did Director Zhou say?"

Wei Lan paused for a moment before opening his mouth and said: "We have already confirmed the cooperation with Bian Lang. One episode and one promotion song add up to 25."
