Chapter 12: Just a Hobby
"I've already made an appointment with a recording studio. How about we record a demo first? They've arranged for a bar singer to help me, plus a sound engineer. Even though it's not perfect, we can make a good judgment."
The reason why Li Weida
He was moved when Wang Yi said that the film would not be worse than "The Lone Brave".
Writing lyrics and composing music are cheap, and music creators simply cannot afford the price, but the same is true for singers looking for good songs that fit the bill. Both sides are looking for someone they like.
At least the song "Lone Brave" 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 they are really of the same level, two hundred thousand is definitely not a loss.
Free musicians cannot sell their good songs at too high a price because they lack the relevant channels. If the copyright falls into his hands, the price he can raise will be much higher.
Therefore, the musicians who can maximize their value are actually singer-songwriters, who can enrich the singer's own image and increase his price.
"OK."
Seeing that the recording studio had been prepared before the other party came, Wang Yi knew that the deal was done and that he was really asking for a song.
Moreover, it seems that the other party is more confident than expected. I always feel that he is a young man who is eager to prove himself to his elders. He is very impatient and has plunged headfirst into his career.
The recording studio is not far away. As a film and television city, there must be many recording studios nearby.
After Li Weida brought Wang Yi in, a decadent handsome guy with long hair and a mustache, dressed in an artistic way, smiled and greeted Li Weida directly.
"Wow, Young Master Li is pretty fast."
Judging from the relaxed and teasing tone, they must be acquaintances.
Li Weida said on the phone before that he had acquaintances in the film and television circles in Shudian, and he was not bragging. Take the person in front of him who can set up a recording studio here, he must have some connections.
"Please, can you sew your mouth shut when there are guests here? If this gets out, you're going to put me on the fire."
Li Weida gave the decadent handsome guy a helpless look.
The latter also restrained himself a bit.
The bickering between the two also made Wang Yi discover some bright spots that were not easy to see?
illegitimate child?
However, Wang Yi was just doing business and had no interest in delving into it.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Yi, you can call me Sayre. Your book "Lonely Bravery" is really good."
The decadent handsome guy came up to Wang Yi and introduced himself.
However, one can clearly sense the politeness in his words. Perhaps for a musician like him, he would not have much appreciation for "Lone Brave". Everyone has their own preferences, and a song that others praise as miraculous may sound average to his ears.
"Hello, I'm sorry to bother you later."
This Sai Rui should be the boss of the recording studio, and he has a group of henchmen under him. The equipment here looks very high-end, but there are many external lines, which makes it look a bit messy.
Soon a small team came out, with a beautiful woman with red hair and cool clothes.
"This beauty is Jiang Xin. We will rely on her for the singing stage. Don't worry, she is a professional bel canto singer and her singing skills are quite solid, which is enough for Vida to make a judgment."
Sai Rui introduced the female singer individually.
Those who practiced bel canto ended up singing in bars. It shows that musicians are also very competitive.
Jiang Xin also looked lazy and sleepy, and I couldn't tell if the dark circles under her eyes were eye shadow, but it matched the look quite well.
Wang Yi also likes to save time. After everyone was ready, he took out the two songs that he had registered this time.
"Wheat Waves" and "Harbor Night" are songs that don't exist in this parallel world, and their styles are gentle and soothing, suitable for people of all ages.
At first glance, it doesn't seem to have much impact, and is completely different from the style of "Lone Hero", but it can easily bring people into a relaxing mood.
In general, the speed of these two songs does not change much, but the sound intensity changes more. As long as the skills are up to standard, the recording speed can be quite fast.
Although Jiang Xin looked lazy, she was very dedicated once she started recording and got into the mood. Moreover, as a bel canto major, her singing skills were also very good, and at least the effect was directly demonstrated.
As a professional musician, Seri was surprised during the recording process before the final product came out.
He was very knowledgeable in opening a recording studio in Shudian. Many movie soundtracks have eye-catching songs, but it is quite rare to have two high-quality music at the same time, especially the song "Night at the Port", which can become the main theme song with the lyrics, praising the navy.
This is a huge plus!
Huge profit!
Li Weida also seemed very excited. Since he was heading in this direction, he was naturally good at it.
Definitely worth it, it was not a wasted trip.
Just as Wang Yi thought, he really wanted to achieve something to show off to others.
"What a pity ! If Mr. Wang Yi were a singer himself, he would definitely become an instant hit. The music scene is really a bit sluggish right now."
Li Wei Da said with some regret that the singers who can really stand firm now are the 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's say a few words. My throat just itches. By the way, how much do you want to add?"
Wang Yi had a smiling face and seemed very kind.
"Fifty thousand for each song."
Li Weida spoke directly. He had decided in his heart that even if Wang Yi's level was average, he would add the money to maintain their relationship, so that he would definitely give priority to him in the future.
Li Weida is not short of money, or rather, he is not short of this little money. What he values more is long-term cooperation.
Wang Yi coughed and adjusted his voice, mainly to suppress some of the elves' pronunciation techniques. He still had to be a human being in the modern world.
But even so, as the ethereal and melodious voice with distinct strengths and weaknesses emerged, everyone at the scene couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Jiang Xin, who had been lazy all of a sudden, became energetic. Hey, did this guy practice opera before?
Can a man produce such an ethereal tone?
When the recording was finished, the audience was still in shock, even more so than when the song was released before.
After listening to good music many times, they will be immersed in the melody and will recognize that these are two good songs, but they will not be too excited.
But now, combined with Wang Yi's sound, which is almost the limit within the human range, the effect is directly sublimated.
This made them feel like they were seeing the rise of a rising star.
"Teacher Wang Yi! Please join my economic company!"
Wow, Li Wei Da went from being a music collector to the boss of a talent agency? Maybe he was planning to start one on the spur of the moment.
"That's not necessary. We can just do business as usual. I won't make a debut. I think I told you that I'm a scientific researcher."
Wang Yi smiled and dispelled the other party's idea. In fact, he had been singing cautiously and did not expect such a big reaction.
Li Weida was speechless at the excuse made by the scientific researcher. He said
"You can be like Jay Chou and hold all the copyrights in your own hands. I will be in charge of the operation! The value of this will be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times that of directly selling songs!"
He had previously made the other party agree by adding more money, so he tried to paint a vision for the future again.
"No, I still want to get my main business to this level."
Selling songs is just a way for Wang Yi to make quick money, not for debuting as an idol.
In fact, music, like cooking, is just one of Wang Yi's many interests and skills, which he uses to adjust his mentality in his free time.
He now has only one ultimate goal.
That is the truth of magic and technology...
