I am the savior of China Entertainment

Chapter 38 EP Production
In fact, Lee Hyuk's current popularity foundation is not yet solid, so it is a bold decision to take a risk and release his first album.

You must know that Yuan Hua, the current top performer in the entertainment industry, has the support of many fans, so he dared to release his first Chinese EP.In the current music environment, there are fewer and fewer singers releasing new albums. Most of them release one or two singles and then participate in variety shows to make money.

A certain singer said when he participated in a variety show that releasing albums now makes no money at all.

Concerts only make money from the concerts held by the top singers of the 90s and a very small number of new generation singers, and most of the others do not make money at all.

So it is really difficult to be a singer now, especially in an environment where plagiarism is rampant.

However, Lee Hyuk still firmly carried out the plan to release the album. He always believed that no matter what the environment, at least good songs would not be buried, and music still has a lot of audiences.

Fan Nuoxuan is very supportive of Li Hyuk's idea, originally the two became partners because of their like-mindedness.

On the eve of Xinran's EP production, Li He announced through his personal Weibo that he would quit the band, and at the same time the lead singer of the new band, Jin Ning, joined the band.

Xinran changed its name to Guns N' Roses at Li Hyuk's suggestion, which is considered to have collided with foreign Guns N' Roses, but Guns N' Roses has not registered a band name trademark in China, so there is no need to worry about infringement.

Li He quit the Xinran band. During this period of time, Li He and the Xinran band are still popular, which naturally attracted attention.Many netizens expressed their dislike for the band Guns N' Roses, which has changed its lead singer and name.

Because looking at all successful bands, once the lead singer is changed, they will go down all the way, and they will never be the same.

Fans of the band were very anxious, and tried to keep Li He under Li He and the band's Weibo, but the news released by Fantasy Studio afterwards made netizens a little confused.

"Today, our Fantasy Music Studio was officially established. It is our aim to bring better music to the audience. Everyone is welcome to join."

"Lee Hyuk, the former lead singer of the Xinran band, has officially joined the studio, will release an album independently, and become the music director of the studio."

"Happily the band changed its name to Guns N' Roses, and officially signed a contract with Fantasy Studios. We will move forward with the band in the future."

Netizens were dizzy, fans were surprised and delighted, but this is not over yet. Taking advantage of this wind, Fantasy Studio announced that the studio will produce the first EP of Guns N’ Roses, including the previous four songs and two A new song sung by the new lead singer, and an MV was filmed.

As soon as the news came out, the fans who had been looking forward to the studio version for a long time were excited, and left messages under Weibo, looking forward to the release of the EP.

Ye Zixin, Ye Ziran, Chu Chu, Xia Xia, and lead singer Jin Ning came to the studio together after their short summer vacation to prepare for the recording of the first EP and the shooting of the MV.

At this time, Li He finished Xuanzi's invitation song, wrote a demo of "I Have to Love", and sent it to Xuanzi.

Xuanzi, who is preparing for a new album, is still worrying about the title of the new album. She is busy in the recording studio all day long, and she is still struggling in the recording studio today, losing several strands of her hair.

"Xuanzi, Xuanzi, look at this." The manager rushed into the recording studio, interrupting Xuanzi's thinking.

Xuanzi was very angry: "You better have something to do, or you just wait for me."

The manager smiled and said, "There is something, there is really something, and it's a good thing."

"What good thing?" Xuanzi asked.

The manager didn't hold back, and said directly: "Didn't you invite Li He to sing a song last time? He has already sent the demo of the lyrics and music."

"Really? I thought he forgot it. He didn't give it to me for more than half a month, and he planned to call him to remind him." Xuanzi said with surprise, "Show me..."

After receiving the lyrics and music sample from the manager, Xuanzi, as a singer, naturally recognized the score, and Li He also specially recorded a vocal sample, explaining the key points of singing the song.

"Need your love every day
我 的 心思 你 猜
I love you
我 就 是 要 你 让 每 都 都
天天 把 它 嘴 边

到底 什么 是 真 爱
I love you
Exactly how much faster than expected~"

The more Xuanzi sang, the more she felt her eyes light up, my God, the feeling of singing this song is so good!Xuanzi thought to herself.

"This song is a love song sung by a man and a woman. We still need to find another male singer to sing together." Xuanzi said.

The manager suggested: "Actually, I have an idea. How about inviting Li Hyuk to sing as a chorus? It just so happens that he is also popular now, and your cooperation can be regarded as a strong alliance."

"Good idea, you go to contact him and see when you are free to come and record." Xuanzi made a decision.

Xuanzi's album can be regarded as a work that he has been preparing for a long time, so he pays special attention to it. The money spent on the promotion in the early stage is like water, if there is no splash, it will hurt a little.

So Xuanzi does not allow the album to fail, the bottom line is at least to recover the production cost and achieve a certain degree of popularity.

In this year, there are not many singers who dare to release albums. Basically, only a few singers such as Xu Shangao, Xue Zhiqian, and Li Ronghao can release albums and arouse a certain degree of enthusiasm.

When the news that Xuanzi invited Li Hyuk to sing in the chorus came, Li Hyuk was working as a music director, directing the band Guns N' Roses, which was recording in a studio for the first time.

"Jin Ning, you are too tight here, open your voice and sing, which shows that you have the characteristics of a penetrating voice." Li He stopped Jin Ning's recording, and then said: "Your weird clip voice Where did you learn it? Doesn’t it sound terrible?”

Jin Ning was very aggrieved, and said with a low eyebrow, "Nowadays, this singing method is popular on the Internet, and there is also a smoky voice."

"Is it necessary to learn to be popular on the Internet? Then I can just find someone on the street to be the lead singer, and then I will fix the sound in the later stage. Why do you want to be the lead singer of the band?" Li Hyuk lectured unceremoniously.

Fan Nuoxuan quickly persuaded: "Okay, okay, Jin Ning is also thinking about the band, and wants to choose a more popular singing style. You should have asked her before she recorded."

"OK, I didn't think about it, but let me tell you, when we are a band, we don't want to be popular with the masses. Isn't that what people say? Today, the clip sound is popular, and you follow it. What about the royal sister sound that will be popular the day after tomorrow? Lolita will be popular the day after tomorrow. What about the sound?" Li Heyu said earnestly: "What we have to do is lead the trend, not let the trend lead us, understand?"

The five members of the band were so trained by Li He that they didn't dare to lift their heads, they replied submissively: "Understood..."

"Take a break for 10 minutes, and record again later." Li Hyuk waved his hand to let the band rest first.

Looking at the relieved band members, Fan Nuoxuan whispered to Li He: "Are you being too strict with them? After all, it's the first time."

"It's because it's the first time that we have to be strict, and let them understand that music is not a child's play, but a very complicated, systematic, and even boring art creation work, so that there will be no problems in the future." Li He said .

"Well, what you said makes sense." Fan Nuoxuan was persuaded, and also admired Li Hyuk's attitude towards music.

"Xuanzi sent a chorus invitation. It seems that they think you are more suitable for the chorus of "Have to Love", and the enthusiasm is enough." Fan Nuoxuan continued.

Li Hyuk had an expected expression: "Did you say when to record?"

"It's best to record this week and shoot the MV."

"OK, I'll go take a look tomorrow..."

Xuanzi's recording company is also in Shanghai, so it's easy to run around.

After the 10-minute break, the band continued to record. The recording of the four old songs has been completed, and the matching MV is missing.Only the two new songs with Jin Ning as the lead singer have been delayed, and Li He has been a little angry these two days.

It didn't take much effort to shoot the MV. Even if it was over with a few shots and a few scenes, it can be said to be quite perfunctory.But there is no way, the studio has insufficient funds, and the MV budget is not enough.

The first EP of Guns N' Roses is called "Secret Garden", which contains the studio versions of four songs that have already had Live before, "Tenderness", "Love ing", "Rain Love", "Tomorrow, Hello".Among them, "Rain Love" and "Hello Tomorrow" are divided into two versions with the lead vocals of Lee Hyuk and Jin Ning.

The two new songs are "Rainy Day" and "Singing in the Trees". These six songs are all composed of Li Hyuk's lyrics, music and arrangement. Their horrible workload made everyone in the band call it scary.

But for Li Hyuk, it's actually very simple, because the melody is already in his mind, all that's left is to find a suitable arrangement and restore the appearance of the song in his mind.

In order to warm up the EP, Fantasy Studio and Lee Hyuk's personal Bilibili account released the accompaniment of the prelude and climax of "Rainy Day" to attract heat.
