Actually I just want to act

Chapter 509 Audition Album
Yang Chengjun really admires Fang Jiming's daring to think and act.

You know, the sales volume of this album is so dismal, it is no longer the same as it used to be.In these years, the album with the highest sales was 1997 million copies set by Xiangjiang Tianwang in 400.And the sales volume of albums in mainland China peaked at 350 million copies, which can no longer be surpassed.Moreover, this is data from eight years ago.

In the past two or three years, even veteran first-line singers will be lucky if their album sales exceed one million.As for making money, it all depends on commercial performances, and I dare not hold concerts - I am afraid that no one will come to see it, and I will lose too much.As it is in the music industry, so it is in the film industry.In addition to the lack of great works, it is actually more due to the relationship between the general environment.

When China did not join the WTO, the economic development seemed to be stable, with rapid growth every year, but it was actually very dangerous because of insufficient consumption.The reason for the lack of consumption is that the wages of workers across the country are generally not high, only at the level of more than 1000. How can they dare to consume?Coupled with lower prices, the economy is indeed a bit sluggish.Economic growth is mainly supported by large enterprises.

Therefore, to join the international trade cycle, in addition to the sluggish Western economy, the Chinese market is needed to fill the gap; China also needs the world market to accelerate the development of the domestic economy.Especially after the financial tsunami in 97, the world economic situation has become more delicate, so naturally we are aiming for a win-win situation.

If ten years later, Western countries find that China makes money easily, and also finds that China makes more money from them, their psychology will be unbalanced.In particular, the Chinese are too diligent and have eaten away the basic industries of Western countries.Not only that, but when marching toward high-tech, the West and China should have conflicts.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the same is true between countries.

Turning into the domestic economic environment is that piracy is rampant, and the cultural industry has been severely eroded.It's not that consumers like piracy, it's just that they don't have the money to spend more.

Therefore, album sales have dropped again and again, that's it-you can listen to pirated copies!Although the quality is not very good, what kind of bicycle do you need?

As the owner of the record company, Yang Chengjun naturally knows this all too well.Fang Jiming entered the game at this time, and he was still a "newcomer".He is indeed a "newcomer". Fang Jiming dared to get involved in such a deep water without even releasing an album. He has money and no place to spend it!

However, for the future network layout, Yang Chengjun agreed to cooperate.

Although the dinner was a verbal agreement, it was all agreed, and the contract will be signed tomorrow.

After finishing this matter, Fang Jiming heaved a sigh of relief.

The classics cannot be lost, this is Fang Jiming's idea.If the classics are lost because of parallel time and space, Fang Jiming feels that it is his own responsibility.

Of course, whether Fang Jiming makes a movie or sings a song, the movie will be different because of the different shooting techniques and storytelling methods, or because of the arrangement, the song will be different from the original version because of the problem of singing— —That’s also impossible. If you ask a singer to remake an album, it’s impossible to be 100% the same.However, Fang Jiming felt that he had restored 80% of the classics, which was enough.

Well, Yang Chengjun still needs to listen to this album before signing the contract, Fang Jiming thinks it doesn't matter.

Good music resonates!

The next day, Fang Jiming brought Xu Xinyun to Haifu Records.

Yang Chengjun came out to greet him in person. After exchanging pleasantries, the two quickly got to the point.

"Did Fang bring the album?"

Yang Chengjun asked.

Fang Jiming asked Xu Xinyun to take out the recorded tape and said, "It's here."

"I'll listen first."

Although Yang Chengjun is a boss, he is actually very good at music, and he is also a music teacher himself.It's just that Yang Chengjun's talent is not enough, he can only have some accomplishments in musical instruments, and he still can't sing.And the talent in musical instruments can only be said to be reluctant.

However, this does not prevent Yang Chengjun from having a good ability to appreciate music.

"Woo!" opened, followed by the addition of guitars, pianos, and jazz drums, mixed with the sound of helicopters, making Yang Chengjun nod his head.It was "Lovely Woman". Yang Chengjun had already heard this song, but he still listened patiently.This is a very good song, but I'm not sure if it will sell.

The second song is "Perfectionism".

Strange!

This is Yang Chengjun's first feeling.

novel!

This is Yang Chengjun's second feeling.

"Is this an R&B minor song with a medium tempo and a fast singing speed?" Yang Chengjun speculated in his heart. The tune composed of the continuous ascending minor piano melody made people feel comfortable for a while.In the verse part, irregularly split rhythm patterns appear at the same time, and the opening part uses repetitive melodies with dynamic and complex rhythm changes that break the conventional sentence.Paired with the sudden appearance of fourth-level major chords, it produced a distinct sense of abruptness, which made Yang Chengjun's expression strange: Can music be played like this? !
When Fang Jiming sang narcissistically: "Fang Jiming, Fang Zhiming, Fang Zhiming...", Yang Chengjun's face became even better.

This……

Don't play cards according to common sense!
But this is an excellent work, a work with a high degree of completion!Yang Chengjun was surprised to find that his record company did not have any comparable works!Because the music theory knowledge used in this song is too complicated, but it shows a bursting effect, like a master narrating the music.

Well, it's just that the singer's singing skills are not good enough, and his hips are a bit stretched.

Okay, the third song is "Xingqing".

The sound of a car engine at the beginning, followed by guitar, bass and drums, makes people extremely comfortable.

"This rhythm..."

Yang Chengjun knows his stuff. Everyone may think that this is a simple piece, but Fang Jiming did a great job in grasping the rhythm, which to a certain extent conceals the fact that his singing skills are insufficient.Popularity may be a benchmark to measure whether an album is popular or not, but this album... Yang Chengjun, who has only listened to three songs, has a strange expression on his face. He has a hunch that the sales of this album will not be bad. But only a few songs are acceptable for popularity, the others...

"It's a pity, if they are all works like "Xing Qing", it is guaranteed that he will become a hit. Now, 20 copies..." Yang Chengjun thought.

Don't underestimate the album sales of 20 copies, that is a remarkable achievement for a rookie.If some rookies can achieve this result, it means that they have great potential.Dig a little more, find a few good songs, and maybe the album will sell over 50 copies. 50 is a sign of whether a singer is popular or not in this era.

The division in the record industry is: 200 million album sales are diamond records, 100 million are platinum records, 50 are gold records, and 20 are silver records.Of course, this definition is the standard in China. If it is regarded as pirated, it will far exceed this number. It is normal to exceed 1000 million.If it is in Xiangjiang, in Wanwan, the standard will be different.
