Back then, Qi Yuan signed a rookie contract with Tianhao Company, and the terms were rather harsh.Although Tianhao Company did put a lot of effort into praising Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan at that time had nothing but face.
The terms of the contract are that during the period of Qi Yuan's contract, he must produce a popular variety show with an audience rating of more than 10%, an album with at least two hit songs, and if it is completed, the income will be very high, otherwise, he will have to pay a lot of money. The company lost 5000 million yuan.
It's a bit like a VAM agreement, high risk, high return.If you succeed, you will earn money.
Why did you sign such a contract?Probably because of the blind self-confidence of the traverser.
Later, because they couldn't write songs, couldn't make variety shows, and lost their pants on "A Chinese Journey to the West", Tianhao Company directly gave up Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan had an income of more than 4000 million in those two years, and there was still a shortfall of 500 million.
For the 500 million, Qi Yuan's parents raised money everywhere and paid a 5000 million liquidated damages, which made Qi Yuan and Tianhao Company terminate the contract.In order to repay the debt, they are still working hard to run a small restaurant in their 50s.
Now, with the system, presumably the 500 million is no longer a problem!Parents can enjoy their old age in peace!
Qi Yuan felt that his dream was on fire again!
Don't say that Qi Yuan's dream has been corrupted by money and is not pure, because Qi Yuan's dream is to make money!
Qi Yuan strode towards the recording studio of Xidu TV Station!
"Ding dong. It is detected that the host is going to record a song, triggering the novice task."
"Mission 1: Respond to everything!"
"Mission content: The host's reputation reaches [-] points. Mission reward: Three bronze treasure chests."
"Task 2: Complete the recording of the first song!"
"Mission content: The host successfully recorded "Someone Like Me". Mission reward: a silver treasure chest."
Didn't expect the task to come so soon!
Qi Yuan finished the novice task, held the sheet music, and pushed open the door of the recording studio.
[2.Chapter 2 Song Recording]
Xidu TV Station is one of the four major TV stations in China. There are often some programs that require a professional recording studio, so Xidu TV Station built one directly.
Qi Yuan pushed the door open and entered.
In a bright recording studio, three or four figures are sitting on the sofa, and a middle-aged man is sitting in front of the monitor, wearing black-rimmed glasses, bald, and looks in his 40s.
He is Liu Shiyi, the music director of Xidu TV Station.
Inside a thick soundproof wall, stood a beautiful girl singing.
That girl, Qi Yuan, knows her. She is a recently popular singer. This time, she is recording a program on Xidu TV Station. The program needs to sing, so she comes to the recording studio to record it first. When recording the program, it will be good to lip-sync.
Qi Yuan waited for about half an hour, the girl and her assistant manager finished recording, only Qi Yuan and Liu Zongshi were left in the recording studio.
"Xiao Yuan, what's the matter? The soundtrack of your show is simple, don't rush, I will give it to you next week."
Liu Shi is more polite to Qi Yuan, because he likes the song "Sweet Honey" written by Qi Yuan six years ago.
Now because Qi Yuan terminated the contract with Tianhao Group, although he didn't say it clearly, but with Tianhao Group's status in the entertainment industry, Qi Yuan is in a state of being half-blocked, so he still has some sympathy for Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan handed over his score with a smile, and said, "Brother, I'm not here to talk about work. I wrote a song, help me record it?"
Liu Shiyi took the sheet music and said with a smile: "You brat is blatantly using your working time to do private work. But it's not an example."
Qi Yuan said: "That's for sure."
"Do you have an arrangement for this song?"
Qi Yuan shook his head.
At this time Liu Shiyi didn't speak any more, his eyes were fixed on the paper in his hand.
His hand holding the score trembled slightly.
He took off his glasses, wiped them, put them on again, and read the lyrics of Qi Yuan's score several times from beginning to end.
"Is this... you really wrote it?"
"If it's a fake replacement."
Liu Shiyi patted Qi Yuan's shoulder excitedly: "I knew it! I knew it! If you can write "Sweet Honey", how could you not be able to write a new song!"
"Brother Liu thinks this song is not bad?"
"This song is very good!"
As soon as Liu Shi touched his bright forehead, he seemed extremely troubled.
Qi Yuan's song is very good. He hasn't composed it yet. He wants to compose this song for free.
The melody of a song generally refers to the main vocal part of the song, while the arrangement refers to adding chords, sound effects, musical instruments, etc. according to the emotional needs of the song.
Arrangement, simply speaking, is the accompaniment of a song.
Arranging music is a test of a musician's skill. There are not many musicians in the Chinese music scene who can independently arrange and even produce lyrics.
What Liu Shiyi struggled with was that the song "Someone Like Me" was really good, and he wanted to participate, but he was afraid that he would ruin the song.
Seemingly seeing Liu Shiyi's entanglement, Qi Yuan took the initiative and said: "Brother, I have been blocked by Tianhao now. Although no one has mentioned this matter, it is already considered an unspoken rule. I will find someone to rely on in other channels." The producer of the spectrum, it is very difficult in a short time, can you help?"
"That's fine! But let's not do it in the stage. After get off work at night, come to my studio and let's work on the arrangement!"
……
Two days later.
In a recording studio filled with various musical instruments with simple decoration, Qi Yuan stood in front of the microphone and gave Liu Shiyi an OK gesture.
This is Liu Shiyi's studio. In addition to working at Xidu TV Station and making music for the programs on the station, Liu Shiyi usually does some private work.
For example, there were two women sitting behind him at this moment, the younger one was Jiang Qianye, in his twenties, a rookie singer who had just debuted for half a year, and the older one was Zhao Yue, who was Jiang Qianye's manager.
Zhao Yue bought a song for Jiang Qianye from Liu Shiyi, and made an appointment to record the song today.It was just in time for Qi Yuan and Liu Shiyi to prepare the accompaniment for "Someone Like Me" and also came to record their own song.
Inside the glass wall, Qi Yuan has already started singing:
"A good person like me should have lived a brilliant life."
"How come after more than 20 years, you are still floating in the sea of people."
As soon as the slightly hoarse voice came out, it instantly captured the hearts of the three people present.
Jiang Qianye knew Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan was so popular a few years ago. Later, I heard that his creative ability declined and gradually disappeared in the entertainment industry. But the person in front of him, the person who sang this song, this song Can't the song represent his creative ability?
