The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 363 Bardic Performance: Inspiring Fear
After leaving the company, Chen Shuo asked Shu Chang, "Chang Chang, do you want to buy it?"

"Although I've been in the industry for so many years, I haven't saved much money now." Shu Chang shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it next year.

After joining the company this year, Brother Qi found me a few commercial performances, but he hasn't saved much money yet.

After "Lotus Lantern" airs next year, my reputation should increase a lot, and I'll be able to make money by then. "

Chen Shuo thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, anyway, your literature department is not like the performance department, where you have to stay in school for the first two years.

Act first, become famous, earn money, and talk about everything. "

The three chatted and came to Jingwen Records, entered Chen Shuo's office, and he said, "You guys play in the office first, I'll go find Brother He first."

"Okay, you can go." Liu Yifei waved his hands to let him go, and then flipped through the albums on his shelf with Shu Chang.

You know, with Jingwen's convenience, he has collected quite a few signed albums, many of which are collector's editions.

After seeing Chen Shuo, He Zhengyang put down his work and said, "You came just in time. You shouldn't be busy next time, right? We should hurry up and prepare for our second album."

Chen Shuo sat down in front of him and said: "Except for some sporadic scenes, there is no need to stay on the set all the time.

Is the composition ready? "

"It's done, you can listen to it later."

"Then when will you start recording the song? Can you play it in the afternoon?" Although Chen Shuo didn't have anything to do with the crew, he still had a lot to do.

One is for the end-of-term performance, the other is for looking at the house, and preparing for Li Xiaoyao's interview.

"No hurry." He Zhengyang took out a card and a document from the desk drawer, pushed them in front of Chen Shuo, and said, "This is your share from last year, and it was settled at the end of December.

It's just that you were in the mountain city at that time, and I didn't have time to give it to you. "

Chen Shuo picked up the card and flipped through it, then asked, "How much is the total?"

He Zhengyang said: "1241 million yuan."

"How much?" Chen Shuo was surprised and asked.

"1241 million yuan." He Zhengyang said lightly again.

Chen Shuo couldn't help but asked: "Didn't you say that the sales of the album were less than 400 million copies before? I calculated at the time that I could get around 400 million at most after tax. How can there be so much more now?"

Seeing his surprised expression, He Zhengyang smiled and explained: "You don't think that domestic sales are all there, do you?
Don't forget, our company's business is not only domestic.

Southeast Asia, Japan, Japan, and even Europe and the United States all have our partners.

As long as the album is not too restrictive, we can sell well all over the world. "

When Chen Shuo heard the words, he suddenly realized that he almost forgot that not everything in the country is there.

Seeing that he had figured it out, He Zhengyang said: "Actually, foreign albums are not sold as much as domestic ones, but there are very few pirated copies in Europe, the United States, and Japan. We did not implement a super-low price strategy, but followed the local market. selling.

In this way, the profit of an album has increased. Selling one album over there is equivalent to selling three or five albums in China.

Therefore, your share of this album is so much. "

"Is this my post-tax or pre-tax?" Chen Shuo couldn't help asking again.

"After tax, the company will help you pay all taxes, and you can spend the money as you like." He Zhengyang clicked on the documents on the table again, and said, "This document is the income statement of your album. Domestic, foreign, record sales, CD sales, tape sales, the unit price of each country.

The sales of each region, tax payment details, etc. are listed in detail.

You can ask someone to have a look. "

Chen Shuo picked up the file and flipped through it, and found that the total sales of this album had reached nearly [-] million.

Moreover, the sales volume abroad is not large, just over 100 million, but the profits created are greater than the nearly 400 million domestic albums.

This involuntarily made him sigh again. Sure enough, doing this business is simply making money.

After putting away the files and cards, he was immediately full of energy, got up and joked, "Brother He, hurry up, let's finish making the album quickly, and then go to make money."

"Haha~" He Zhengyang smiled, stood up and said, "You kid, do you know how to be active now?
But the quality of your new album is really good, much better than the previous one.

And your share of this album is also more, by this time next year, you will definitely get more money than now. "

For a rookie who earned so much money from his first album, the company naturally wouldn't treat him as invisible.

This second album directly gave him [-]% of the share. At the same time, all the songs in the album were written by himself, and he was able to share nearly [-]% of the final copyright.

In other words, he can finally share [-]% of the proceeds from this album.

Generally, singers who have been famous for a long time are not eligible for this condition.

But who gave him the ability? Not only can he write it himself, but he can also become popular when he sings it. The company is willing to give it to him.

He made more than 1000 million and 5000 million yuan from an album, but the company earned more. Even after all the costs were removed, the company still had a net profit of nearly [-] million yuan.

The next album will be even better.

If Jingwen is stingy and unwilling to give, there will naturally be someone who is willing to give. Among other things, companies such as Taimai and Rolling Stone are all staring at it.

When Chen Shuo turns around and joins another company, Jing Wen won't be able to earn a penny, and will be ridiculed by his peers.

The two arrived at Chen Shuo's office, picked up Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and went to the recording studio together.

There are many singers in Jingwenzhong, and they have their own recording studios, and the equipment is absolutely top-notch in the industry.

After entering the recording studio, He Zhengyang flipped through the score and asked, "Which one should I start recording first?"

"Let's start with "Fanyan" first." Chen Shuo said: "Try to record it first today, and then record "Peerless", "Water Moon", and "Tianwaitian" tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

These songs are going to be used by Zhouyi, and the post-production of "Shuiyuedongtian" and "Legend of the Mirror" will be finished soon. "

"How does Qianqian understand this song?" He Zhengyang nodded and asked Liu Yifei.

"Some half-understood." Liu Yifei said with some embarrassment: "What Chen Shuo said should be slightly confused and slightly sad, but I am really confused, and I don't know what he wants."

"Then you go in and sing first." He Zhengyang thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Without being stage frightened, she nodded and walked into the shed.

After putting on the ears, she tried the sound test, and Liu Yifei made an "OK" gesture to everyone.

The sound engineer saw it and started to play the accompaniment, and when it reached the point, he prompted: "Enter!"

Liu Yifei was prompted and began to sing:

"...

How can I see clearly~
You look like a dream~
It's not easy to keep you~
Like the relationship between water and the moon~
......"

Listening to the singing coming from the earphones, the sound engineer didn't do anything, but waved her out after she finished singing.

Then play it out for her.

"Feel something wrong?"

Liu Yifei thought for a while and said, "I don't seem to have any emotions."

The sound engineer waved his hand and said, "Chen Shuo go in and sing again."

"Okay." Chen Shuo responded, went in and sang again.

"...

How can I see clearly~
You look like a dream~
......"

After he finished singing and let it out, his singing voice was cold and ethereal, and a sense of desolation could be heard clearly.

"I'll try again." Liu Yifei thought about it, and went in to record it again.

This time she listened directly in the shed, while Chen Shuo and others listened together outside.

Both Chen Shuo and Shu Chang could clearly hear that she used the technique of ape crying to increase the sense of sadness in her voice.

The sound engineer listened, applauded, and said through the microphone: "Very good, I have a feeling, but your feeling is too floating and full of emotions.

The voice is more real, the feeling of sadness is lighter, and there is a sense of confusion and sadness.

Combined with the lines to understand, how can I see clearly, your dreamy figure.

The other party is like a dream, so you can't see clearly, which creates a kind of confusion.

But the other party is the person or thing you want most, but you can't see right from wrong, and you feel helpless and sad.

Imagine doing it all over again. "

After Liu Yifei understood what he said, she repeated it again.

"The effect is there, according to your current understanding, let's do it sentence by sentence.

Let's start with the first sentence, well, start! "

"How can I see clearly~" Liu Yifei sang slowly, immersing herself in the artistic conception of the lyrics.

Helplessness, confusion and a touch of sadness can be clearly heard in the singing.

"Okay, how, don't be so fast between how and what, delay a little bit, and do it again.

Very good, the next sentence, it is not easy to keep you~
Yes, the accent is on 'think', and then a little more at the end.

......"

The sound engineer took the trouble to help her spell out every sentence and correct every detail.

At the same time, I am also adjusting the compiled song to the most suitable state of Liu Yifei's voice.

After stroking it all over again, he said again: "Come on, do it all over again."

After she sang it three more times, the sound engineer gave her a thumbs up and let her come out.

"The effect is very good. You have understood the artistic conception of this song and mastered the singing skills. Come and drink."

Chen Shuo handed her the water glass, let her moisten her throat, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Liu Yifei took two sips of water, moistened her throat, took a few more gulps, and said with a smile, "I'm very happy, when I didn't come to record in the studio before, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

But once entering the shed, all the flaws are magnified at once. "

"That's all right, take a break first, I'll go in and record it again." Seeing the sound engineer waiting, Chen Shuo took the water glass and screwed it on the table, letting her and Shu Chang chat.

I went into the studio and recorded it formally.

As the level increases, the effect of bardic performance also increases, from the initial cleansing and boosting at level 1, to fascination at level 5, and hint at level 7.

At level 9 and level 11, Chen Shuo obtained two performance effects of exhilaration and fear respectively.

Uplift: Resonate with the audience through the performance and reinforce the audience's current emotions.

Fear: To stimulate fear in the audience through performance and weaken its willpower.

Of these two performance effects, whether one is good or bad depends entirely on the current audience's mood, and the other is more reflected in bad places.

Fortunately, there is a threshold around level 10. Before level 10, it is only an elite level, and after level 10, it is a model level.

At the same time, the control power has also stepped up to a higher level.

He can selectively and directedly inspire bardic performance effects.

And what kind of effect is triggered is also closely related to his performance. If his performance is not scary, it is difficult to stimulate the fear effect.

The reason why the last album was so addictive is that he sang every song to perfection and inspired the performance.

Then the effect of each song is superimposed with the effects of other songs, making the audience feel the most after listening to the entire album.

The theme of his new album is "Ancient Tradition", and the whole album has a touch of sadness.

After he sang it with all his attention, a perfect reminder flashed across, activating the hint effect.

Under the guidance of the performance effect, the artistic conception of the song "Fanyan" aroused a sense of desolation in the heart of the sound engineer.

Immersed in it, it took a while before he came back to his senses and gave a thumbs up to show his approval.

Later, Liu Yifei was allowed to enter the studio and recorded the chorus version with Chen Shuo.

It was after six o'clock in the evening that the song was recorded.

"Hard work Brother He, hard work Mr. Wu." After confirming, Chen Shuo thanked He Zhengyang and the sound engineer for their hard work.

"Hard work Brother He, hard work Teacher Wu." Liu Yifei also bowed and said, "It's all because of me that kept you busy for so long."

"It's nothing. Originally, we worked hard to record until nine o'clock. I didn't expect you and Chen Shuo to perform so well, but now the recording is over." He Zhengyang waved his hand and laughed.

What he said was not a lie, he did come with this plan before.

At the beginning of the year, Chen Shuo didn't know enough about the effects of bardic performances. He couldn't activate the effects every time, let alone achieve the desired effect once.

In order to pursue perfection, he recorded in the studio until after 12 o'clock.

What's more, I mainly watched Liu Yifei's performance today. I thought she hadn't recorded a song before, so she had to get used to it for a day, and the effect would come out tomorrow.

I didn't expect to finish it in one afternoon.

"Since we finished recording the song "Fanyan" today, we will call it a day, and we will continue recording tomorrow."

"Okay." Chen Shuo nodded and said, "I'm going to look at the house tomorrow morning and come back after lunch."

"Okay." He Zhengyang said: "I feel that your current level has improved a lot, and I think the recording speed will be faster this time."

"I feel the same."

After leaving the recording studio together, Chen Shuo didn't plan to go back to the office, and said goodbye to He Zhengyang directly: "Then Brother He, let's go first."

He Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll go back to the office to pack up and go home."

It was a surprise to be able to go home early today.

Thinking of Liu Yifei's performance, she may not be as good as Chen Shuo, but she is still talented.

Especially the changeable voice, a little girl who usually speaks with a milky voice, can actually make that kind of vigorous voice, which surprised him, but also made him very happy.

He wanted to sign Liu Yifei, but Chen Shuo insisted on waiting for the album to come out.

Let him be helpless.
