The next day, Zhong Lei took the 100,000 yuan that the two of them had collected from selling everything and boarded a plane to Zhonghai.
After all, she went to college in Zhonghai, and most of her meager connections in the music circle were concentrated in Zhonghai, so it would be easier to get things done there. Although
the music score is ready, there are still many steps to convert it into a complete accompaniment.
Rich people can invite various excellent instrumentalists together to form a fully equipped orchestra and slowly record it in a high-fidelity top-notch recording studio.
The level of the performer is very important. Anyone who knows a little bit can hear the difference and tell who is better.
Unfortunately, with the budget of Zhong Lei and Chen Feng, it is definitely impossible to record real people's sounds, and they can only use electronic arrangement and synthesis.
The advantage is that the accompaniment produced is of a stable level, which is definitely better than just randomly finding low-end performers to fill in the gaps.
The disadvantage is that the accompaniment produced by electronic arrangements lacks the flash of inspiration of real performers, there are no variables, and it lacks spirituality.
Zhong Lei felt very sorry, but there was nothing she could do.
If she wanted to make a big production, she would have to spend a lot of money. One hundred thousand is far from the bottom, and she would have to triple or quadruple it at least.
After arriving in Zhonghai, Zhong Lei and Chen Feng proposed to apply for a loan to raise the budget to two hundred thousand.
She didn't even ask to increase her share, she just wanted to make the song well.
But Chen Feng sternly refused.
In another time and space, Zhong Lei's independently produced "Boring" was a pure electronic arrangement.
Chen Feng has already changed a lot of history, and he really doesn't want to add any unnecessary details to the production. He wants the original flavor.
In the original history, Zhong Lei created the prototype of "Boring" about two or three years later, and the production should be completed four years later.
The quality of the song has not changed at all, but the time has been greatly advanced.
Before everything is settled, Chen Feng is not sure whether history can continue to develop along the original track.
Although he has tried his best to be safe, what if there are too many variables and it is thrown after it is sung?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.
Zhong Lei returned to Hanzhou with the finished product that she personally supervised and worked overtime to carefully produce. Chen
Feng did not go to the airport to pick her up, but waited at home.
Zhong Lei wanted to send him the master tape online, but he stopped her. It was unnecessary and would only increase the risk.
After not seeing her for ten days, Zhong Lei looked a little dusty.
Her whole temperament has changed miraculously.
Although Zhong Lei had a bad temper before, there was an lingering gloom and depression about her.
But now she has not changed on the surface, but her eyes are full of energy and vitality.
It feels like the end of the new moon and the dawn is coming.
Yes, she knows that her destiny is going to change. She
can't feel it just by looking at the score, but when the song is completed, she only needs to listen to it once to understand a fact.
She thinks the realm of this song is higher than she can imagine. The accompaniment score composed by Chen Feng is not the icing on the cake, but the finishing touch.
Even though his strength is already valued enough, Zhong Lei's cognition is still refreshed again and again.
Every time she thinks she understands his talent, she can soon see new things from this treasure-like man.
What's more peculiar is that he really doesn't show off, and never shows off.
Everything is discovered by himself.
Is this the legendary great sound that is silent and hidden from the world?
Pushing the door open, Zhong Lei handed the USB flash drive in her hand to Chen Feng, "Can you listen to it now?"
Chen Feng nodded, disconnected the laptop from the Internet first, and then plugged in the USB flash drive to listen.
In the small apartment, Chen Feng listened to the song slowly with low-end headphones, while Zhong Lei stood behind him, not daring to breathe.
Finally, he put down the headphones and closed his eyes in deep thought.
Zhong Lei thought he was savoring the details with a very high level of consciousness, but she didn't know that Chen Feng was just constantly comparing this "new" version with the version he heard in his dream.
Thanks to the previous forced memory, his comparison process was slow but very detailed.
About fifteen minutes later, Chen Feng opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Lei with an expression of apparent approval but actually a desire to worship.
He gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, very good. Perfect."
He was convinced.
Zhong Lei really has real skills.
It is no accident that she has become a great figure who will go down in history.
Even though she has been pushing things too hard, even though the conditions are very simple and the work is done very hastily, she still handed in a perfect answer sheet.
She is so strong in her childhood. When she has mastered it and truly entered the realm, what kind of awe-inspiring realm will she reach?
As a copycat with limited ability, Chen Feng said that he really couldn't imagine it.
Zhong Lei was a little embarrassed by his praise, "Thank you, I am glad to have done my job well."
Chen Feng looked quietly at the low-key and humble Zhong Lei at this time, and reminded himself secretly.
Cherish this time.
When she rediscovers her amazing talent, this humble Zhong Lei will probably never appear again.
"By the way, these are the general conditions and contact information of several domestic platforms that I have sorted out. Let's work out which platform to sell the songs to."
Zhong Lei was in charge of recording the songs these days, and Chen Feng, as a partner, did not do nothing.
But Zhong Lei did not look at his list. She said, "I think Ku Ge is pretty good."
Chen Feng looked down at the list.
There are five or six music platforms of scale in China, and Kugou ranks about second. Recently, it has been making a series of big moves to acquire copyrights, intending to overtake Qyin, which is currently ranked first in China.
Therefore, the current policy of Kugou platform for singers and copyright holders is very generous, and it gives a lot of benefits.
Overall, Kugou is indeed a good choice. Of
course, there is another important factor that prompted the two to make a quick decision.
The headquarters of several other platforms are located in other cities such as Shangdu, Tiandu, Shenchuan and Wucheng.
Only Kugou’s headquarters is in Seoul, which means that if the two sign Kugou, they don’t have to run around and can save money.
Chen Feng nodded, "Then it's settled."
Zhong Lei said, "You still have to go to work, I'll go negotiate. You can come back and sign after the deal is done."
Because the two signed a private contract, such a commercial authorization must be signed by both parties to be legally effective.
Chen Feng was not afraid that Zhong Lei would scare him.
After the discussion, they went their separate ways.
Before going upstairs, Zhong Lei said something that sounded true or false, which scared Chen Feng enough.
She first thanked Chen Feng for his trust in her.
Chen Feng said that this was as he should.
Then she seemed to be testing Chen Feng's background again. She really wanted to know why Chen Feng knew her so well.
Every word of the song and every melody perfectly touched the softest point in her heart.
Chen Feng could only laugh it off and muddle through.
Then she actually expressed that she wanted to be Chen Feng's apprentice!
Although she said it awkwardly and tactfully, she just wanted to learn creative concepts from Chen Feng seriously, but that was what she meant.
Chen Feng's face was stiff.
What the hell can I teach you!
What concept do I have to pass on to you!
I just rely on rote memorization, and what I memorized were your songs. I
have absolutely no creative talent or musical concepts. It
's impossible for me to accept an apprentice. I don't have that ability in this life. I can only be a porter and wait for death.
Zhong Lei was hit back by Chen Feng's Tai Chi, and the delaying technique was temporarily effective.
Chen Feng thought afterwards that he had settled the song "Boring", but he would never let her sing "It's Late at Night" again.
If he sang it to someone else, maybe Zhong Lei wouldn't feel so deeply, and she wouldn't notice anything and mistakenly think that he was her confidant or something.
If he sang it to her again, it would be hard to guarantee that she wouldn't fall into the trap.
In the next few days, Zhong Lei went to the Kugou headquarters again and again to negotiate and negotiate again, preparing to sign the contract.
Although Kugou is a bit hungry for the copyright of the songs it includes, Zhong Lei and Chen Feng's foundation in the circle is too weak, and it is still not easy to get the ideal conditions, and it will take some effort.
Chen Feng spent most of his time working at Kelai Apartment.
During this period, he was obsessed with his side business and was not in good condition at work for a long time. He slacked off whenever he could
. Many people in the company had already complained about him. Chen Feng could not give up this job for a while, so he should pretend to be good.
But one evening, Chen Feng came out of a meeting at the company and heard two employees from other companies chatting while taking the elevator downstairs.
"Have you heard? Ka-ki Ho will hold a fan meeting at Le Mei on Shaolin Road tonight."
"Really? Such a big star is also holding a fan meeting in a nightclub?" "Really
? She's a quasi-top star after all."
"Are you going?"
"Of course!"
"But there's no need to rush. I heard that Le Mei spent a lot of money this time, and Ka-ki Ho happens to have other things in Seoul, so the meeting will be held for three consecutive days. Each meeting will last for an hour, and she will sing at least five songs every day."
Chen Feng suddenly became interested. Should he try his luck?
