The bard joins the entertainment industry

Liu Yifei held the little tiger in her arms, flipping through the music scores of three songs, holding a breath in her mouth and moving her cheeks from side to side, looking extremely cute.

But the only fly in the ointment was that her brows were slightly furrowed at this moment, obviously feeling a little embarrassed.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she made a "pop" sound, rubbed her chin on Xiaohu's head, and said, "This song is good, but it's also very difficult.

Technically speaking, I can say that I have almost mastered my voice training and can master it.

But like Chen Shuo said, it always feels very difficult to express the artistic conception in singing. "

He Zhengyang thought for a while and then said to Chen Shuo: "In this way, you can follow me in, and you two will sing a chorus together, so that Sissi can feel the artistic conception of the three songs."

"Okay, let's go." After hearing this, Chen Shuo stood up and invited Liu Yifei.

"Okay!" Liu Yifei stood up happily and handed Xiaohu to Liu Xiaoli, and followed him into the recording studio.

Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Chen Shuo said: "Let's start with "Elf in the Cloud"!"

Liu Yifei put on the ear loops, nodded, and made an "OK" gesture.

Then I picked up the lyrics and looked at them.

"Above those distant white clouds

There is a sacred country

There is a group of mysterious elves there

They have transparent wings and wear exquisite clothes.

They like to dance and play in the clouds

…

Under the starry sky~ we make a wish

Follow the wind and drift to the country above the white clouds

Awakening the sleeping elves

They happily planted their dreams in the white clouds

Water it with selfless love

Watch it take root and sprout, and bear a fruit that is about to grow

Turn into a meteor and send it to us

…

La la la la~ la la la la~ la la la la~”

As Chen Shuo sang, the brisk melody seemed to flow in everyone's hearts.

Every character and every melody is like an elf waving its wings, emitting cheerful laughter like silver bells.

Clear away the fog in everyone's heart and reveal the bright light of the soul.

Even the little tiger couldn't help but flick his tail, looking particularly happy.

At first, Liu Yifei just thought it sounded good and was very happy to listen to it. Later, she couldn't help but sing along with Chen Shuo.

Slowly, she forgot that she was recording a song in a recording studio. She closed her eyes slightly, relaxed her mind to the extreme, and hummed the lyrics she had already memorized, following the melody in her ears.

Outside the shed, He Zhengyang saw this and gestured to Chen Shuo, asking him to lower his voice.

The sound engineer was asked to adjust the audio track to further reduce Chen Shuo's voice, and then strengthen Liu Yifei's voice.

It may not work this time, but this state of spontaneously immersing yourself in artistic conception is rare, and maybe it will have some effect in the end.

As the final cheers ended, Liu Yifei was still shaking her head and immersed in the artistic conception.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo greeted He Zhengyang, and then hummed the intro melody of the song softly.

Listening to the melody in her ears, Liu Yifei spontaneously swayed her body to match the rhythm.

When the lyrics began, Chen Shuo did not speak out, but lowered his voice again and hummed the melody.

And Liu Yifei started to sing reflexively.

"Above those distant white clouds

There is a sacred country

…”

This time, Chen Shuo just swayed with her, matching the melody, and was careful not to make any sound.

After singing it again, He Zhengyang and the sound engineer did not continue recording, but played the recorded sound and listened to it again.

Listening to the familiar voice in her ears, Liu Yifei slowly opened her eyes, listened carefully, and realized that it was her singing.

Chen Shuo was also listening carefully.

After it was over, he and He Zhengyang and others outside applauded.

"Is this the end?" Liu Yifei said in surprise.

"No." Chen Shuo took off the ear loops, then helped her take them off, and said, "Let's go and see the effect first.

Although this kind of natural sound is very emotional, it does not meet the requirements of a high-quality song, and you have not handled many details well.

However, after this experience, if you listen to the recorded singing more and find the shortcomings, you will basically be able to master the song. "

Liu Yifei nodded, and the two of them left the recording studio together. The sound engineer processed the recorded sound track, mixed it with the previously compiled song, and then played the sound out.

Listening to the first version of the half-finished product, no one said anything for the first time, they just listened carefully.

From the second time, Chen Shuo began to let Liu Yifei find the shortcomings on his own.

Today, Liu Yifei has completed the training of "Five Birds Vocal Method - Advanced Edition". According to the level, her singing and dialogue ability are at least level 10.

Although it has not yet become a model, it is already the pinnacle of professional level.

Not to mention the voice, the sense of sound has also been subtly improved to a corresponding level.

Naturally, you can easily hear the shortcomings in your own singing.

Whenever there is a defect, he can quickly point it out and tell what should have been done to meet the standard.

The third time, Chen Shuo began to let her listen to the advantages of his singing.

He also said: “People should see clearly their own shortcomings, but at the same time they should also see their own advantages clearly, and don’t think that this is self-promotion.

Only by seeing your strengths and weaknesses clearly at the same time can you know where you should improve. "

Liu Yifei nodded seriously and started to find out the areas where she thought she performed well for the third time.

After listening to the pros and cons twice, Chen Shuo asked her to go into the recording studio alone to record it again.

Chen Shuo and He Zhengyang each wore an earphone and listened carefully.

The headphones in the recording studio are of very good quality and can clearly restore the singer's voice, and any imperfections can be heard very clearly.

Just grinding like this over and over again, and at the same time keeping Liu Yifei's artistic conception while singing, this is a very energy-consuming way.

She was very passionate at first, but as she repeated it over and over again, she gradually began to become numb.

Not to mention maintaining the cheerful and elf-like artistic conception, there was a heavy sense of confusion in that voice.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help feeling a little distressed when she looked at her lifeless daughter in the recording studio.

But looking at Chen Shuo's calm look, he knew clearly that he shouldn't disturb him at this time.

After singing the song once, Chen Shuo took off his headphones and waved Liu Yifei out.

"Sissi, drink some water." As soon as she went out, Liu Xiaoli handed her a water glass. Seeing that she drank quickly, she couldn't help but muttered: "Slow down, slow down, there is more!"

Liu Yifei drank three drinks in a row, came to her seat, sat down, and signaled the sound engineer to play the final sound.

Listening to the lifeless voice, she felt a little heavy, stood up and said, "I'll record it again."

Chen Shuo grabbed her, pulled her to sit down and said, "Don't worry, take a rest, take a rest."

Liu Yifei felt that her body was tired and her spirit was heavy, so she let him pull her to sit down and hold her in his arms.

When the others saw it, they packed up their things and pretended they couldn't see him.

As if holding a child, Chen Shuo let Liu Yifei lie on his lap, with her head resting on his arms, and slowly patted her shoulders and back, humming the melody of "Elf in the Cloud" softly.

Lying in Chen Shuo's arms, feeling his slight shaking, Liu Yifei felt like she was lying on a cloud or in a cradle, floating and swaying very comfortably.

Listening to Chen Shuo's humming melody, he felt as if there were some other beings around him.

As the melody progresses, those beings slowly wake up, flying and playing above the white clouds.

She herself seemed to be transformed into one of them, having fun with everyone. As night gradually fell, many golden light spots floated from below.

They planted these light spots in the clouds, holding hands, laughing and dancing, watching them sprout and bear fruit.

Then he threw the bright fruits into the clouds and watched them fall into dreams one after another like meteors, turning into the power called hope.

After a while, she opened her eyes and got up from Chen Shuo's arms. There was a clear and cheerful feeling in her body.

She stood up and said with a smile: "I'll record it again."

"Go!" Chen Shuo encouraged with a smile.

"Yeah!" She nodded happily and re-entered the recording studio.

Like the sound of a clear spring flowing, like the jingling of a ring, like a falling stone from a clear spring...

That crisp and cheerful voice sounded, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the whole song was sung.

From the moment she started singing, the sound engineer seemed to be having an epileptic fit, his whole body shaking with excitement.

However, his hands were like a doctor's scalpel, adjusting the sound steadily, perfectly matching Liu Yifei's voice.

Soon, when the song ended, Chen Shuo threw away his headphones and applauded Liu Yifei wantonly.

“Bah bang bang!!!”

He Zhengyang and others also applauded.

This song!

Perfect!

Not only that, Liu Yifei even gave it a deeper meaning, imprinting the artistic conception of the song deeply into her body and mind.

From now on, this song completely belongs to her.

She can sing the artistic conception anytime and anywhere.

Only she can!

Liu Yifei ran out happily, first gave Liu Xiaoli and Huang Ying a big hug, and then trotted towards Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo also happily caught her, picked her up and spun her around twice.

As soon as he put her down, he felt a touch of warmth touch his lips. He was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.

As soon as the thought "There are people around, including auntie" flashed through my mind, I threw it away.

Seeing this scene, the other people who were cheering were stunned, and smiles froze on their faces.

"Ahem~" Liu Xiaoli coughed twice and turned around to put away the already good water glass.

When the others saw it, they quickly turned around and went about their own business.

After a while, Chen Shuo felt that Liu Yifei's face was a little hot, and he slowly crawled into his arms. He suddenly knew that she was awake now and felt a little shy.

He immediately hugged her and said, "Well, Brother He will sort out the audio track, and we'll go back first."

After saying that, he hugged her and turned around and left the recording studio.

Feeling Chen Shuo close the door and pull her forward, Liu Yifei let out a sigh of relief.

Follow Chen Shuo slowly towards his office.

After a while, Liu Xiaoli and Huang Ying came to the office with their things.

Liu Yifei was just embarrassed for a moment, then pretended not to care and asked, "Mom, let's go eat, I'm hungry!"

Liu Xiaoli nodded and asked, "Okay, what would Shuoshuo want to eat?"

Liu Yifei rushed to say: "I want to drink porridge."

Chen Shuo nodded and said, "Then go and have porridge. I heard that there is a restaurant over there in Wangfujing that makes very good porridge."

Liu Xiaoli said: "Then let's go there."

Watching Liu Xiaoli turn around and leave the office, Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue at Chen Shuo and smiled.

Chen Shuo smiled and gave her a thumbs up, then pulled her to follow him.

He took out his cell phone and called He Zhengyang, thanked him for his hard work, and told him that he and others were leaving first and asked him to pack up and go back.

After hanging up the phone, except for the company, he got in the car and went straight to Wangfujing.

During the time that Chen Shuo and Chen Shuo were attending the film festival, He Zhengyang had already had a good chat with Mr. Xu.

In the end, Jingwen Records covered all production fees, promotion fees, channel fees, etc., and then accounted for 40% of the initial share.

Then, when the album sales exceed one million, the follow-up share will account for 35%, if it exceeds two million, it will account for 30%, and if it exceeds five million, it will account for 25%.

If it can exceed 10 million, Jingwen will only account for 10% of the subsequent share, and will give no less than the reward promised to Chen Shuo.

This condition may seem like a lot of concessions from Jingwen, but in fact this deal is a sure win for him.

Although Chen Shuo plans to make this album a high-quality album, the total production cost will not exceed one million.

Even counting other expenses, the final cost of one million finished albums will not exceed five million yuan at most.

This money is nothing to both Chen Shuo and Jingwen, even if they both lose it.

What's more, apart from the production fee, it's not like you have to invest so much at once.

The most important thing is that neither party feels that this album will lose money.

Based on Chen Shuo's current fame, this album is worth at least one million sales.

A million albums, a cost of 5 million, can be recovered as long as the sales volume reaches 500,000.

With one million sales, you can earn at least three million; with two million sales, you can earn at least ten million; with five million sales, the profit is nearly 100 million.

The further you go, the lower the cost, the greater the profit, and the more you earn.

Needless to say, sales of five million, once sales exceed two million, not only do you not have to pay through those channels, but you can also make money.

If you sell it abroad, you will not only get a share of the sales volume, but also get royalties.

And today, with Liu Yifei successfully recording "Elf in the Cloud", it means that this album is already half successful.

While eating, Chen Shuo said to Liu Xiaoli: "Auntie, Sissi is on the right track in terms of recording. Next, we should think about how to shoot the MV."

"What do you think?" Liu Xiaoli asked, putting down her porridge bowl.

"Twelve songs, twelve MVs, but the most important ones are the three title songs."

Chen Shuo thought for a while and said: "It is best for "Elf in the Cloud" to focus on narrative stories. I plan to make a short video using computer special effects. I will find someone to do this later.

We mainly choreographed "Flying in the Sky" and "The Legend of the World".

Based on the general meaning of the lyrics and the artistic conception of the song, two dances were composed as the theme, and then combined with the scene of Sissi singing and recording, the two MVs were completed. "
