Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng were both prepared to invest 100,000 yuan first.

Another night of discussion...

From the next day on, Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng began looking for a specialized music production studio in Beijing, intending to produce background music, interludes, and even theme songs for their game.

Of course, when the studio starts formally operating and the game is released, they both plan to hire someone to shoot commercials.

They were originally planning to find professional actors to record a promotional video for their game, but after being inspired by Director Lu Xun, Huo Feng volunteered!

He planned to take part in the filming of a promotional video for their game, and Yan Siyuan naturally agreed!

Because this can save the cost of an actor, and Huo Feng is not bad looking.

The next day, Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan began running around various studios, looking for suitable partners for their game music.

Ye Qingcao, who had nothing to do, started walking with the two of them. Yu Sangzhi had been working as a social worker in the hospital with his classmates from the Student Union these days and could not go with them.

So, there were four people in the group: Huo Feng, Yan Siyuan, Ye Qingcao, and Gu Erhao.

Throughout the day, they visited several studios and compared the quality of music production, as well as the prices and production times of each studio.

Because this is not considered a collaboration, but is equivalent to them placing an order with another studio, so they are the client and have the dominant power.

After hitting a wall in their careers for so long, it’s finally their turn to take charge. It feels pretty good…

However, the pressure behind it is also doubled.

They took music samples from several studios and returned to the dormitory to make a joint decision.

At 7:00 pm, Yu Sangzhi, whom you found for me, also came to the boys' dormitory to find them and listened to music with the four of them.

Four studios were given 10 music samples and two unreleased background music, one happy and one sad, for them to choose from.

Everyone listened to the 10 music samples twice in turn, and then voted to decide which studio's music to buy.

You can buy existing unreleased music copyrights, or you can make a request and ask the music producer in the studio to write music exclusively for them.

Of course, buying ready-made ones is definitely cheaper. If you want to write your own music, the price of one song can be as high as hundreds of thousands.

So, everyone’s idea is to buy ready-made songs.

Regardless of whether it is an unreleased or released song, as long as you can purchase the commercial copyright or obtain the composer's authorization, you can use the song.

Today we brought back 10 music demos, which were the songs that the four of them selected when they were auditioning in the music room. They are songs that make you feel comfortable the moment you listen to them.

After coming back, everyone was faced with the dilemma of choosing a studio to work with and a song to sing.

Finally, after a round of voting, the music from [LeXiang Studio] was selected. However, there is still a problem: this studio is quite expensive...

The composer of the song they chose is a composer with a certain quality of works, so they may have to spend 80,000 to 200,000 yuan on the production of the music, or even more...

Because, you can buy ready-made background music and interlude music. However, the game theme song still requires exclusive copyright...

Therefore, the game theme song had to be produced by a special person. As for the singing, Huo Feng decided to take charge of it himself to save the cost of hiring celebrities!

The main reason is that the production cost and copyright price of the theme song are high. I wonder how much the studio will ask for?

Therefore, the financial investment still made everyone excited and led to additional discussions.

Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan agreed last night that each of them would contribute 100,000 yuan, which means that they have a total of 200,000 yuan in liquid funds available.

Of the 200,000 yuan in liquid funds, most or even all of it may be spent on buying songs.

The studio still needs to hire people, buy several servers, and keep it running normally, which also costs money...

Yan Siyuan had quite a bit of private money, so he could afford the subsequent expenses for the time being.

But Huo Feng has no money...

So, later in the discussion, Huo Feng had a big problem.

"Then we've booked the studio. The broadcasting students I contacted earlier sent me their dubbings today. However, we need to gather them in Beijing for the dubbing. Besides paying them their salaries, we also have to cover their round-trip airfare and accommodation. Otherwise, the few hundred yuan a day they earn wouldn't cover the airfare, so we still have to cover expenses..."

After Yan Siyuan summarized the music issues, he began to talk about the voice actor issues.

It is true that every step requires money...

Moreover, when you actually implement it, you will find that the money is not worth spending at all and it is very easy to spend.

"Then how much money does this cost?" Huo Feng asked Yan Siyuan.

Yan Siyuan thought for a moment, "As you said, if there are eight characters to dub, the round-trip airfare for each person is over 1,000, the hotel is 300, plus the salary. The expenses in this regard will be more than 10,000!"

Huo Feng took a deep breath and felt his brain was about to be deprived of oxygen...

Yu Sangzhi, who was standing beside him, had already noticed his distress. She quickly patted his shoulder and said to Yan Siyuan, "Can't we save money on dubbing? Otherwise, why don't we do it ourselves?"
