Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 94 Personal Album Songs (Subscription Request)

"Please come up with some songs for the new album as soon as possible. We will try to release it around November."

The contract was quickly settled, and after the negotiation, Wu Chao and Chen Huiying prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Lu Shiyu gave specific instructions.

“I know that I will select the songs in the next few days and then start working on the album as soon as possible.”

Wu Zhuo himself is also very concerned about his first solo album.

Now that the copyright issue of the songs has been resolved, he doesn't have to hide it anymore. He should think carefully about which songs to use in the new album.

After leaving HIM Records, Wu Zhuo and Chen Huiying were in good mood.

Wu Zhuo finally got the copyright of his songs in his hands.

As for Chen Huiying, it was because Wu Chao released a personal album. Apart from the royalties from the lyrics and music, all other income from the personal album had to be shared with the agency.

If Wu Zhuo's personal album sells well, Tian Xi will also be able to obtain a very considerable agency commission.

Not to mention, Wu Chao's release of a personal album will greatly enhance his commercial value.

As an agent, her income is closely related to the income of the artists.

If the artists earn more, she will naturally get more too.

"The company will try to arrange as few activities for you as possible during this period. You should concentrate on making records and strive to make a name for yourself in one fell swoop."

Tianxi attaches great importance to Wu Zhuo's identity as a singer.

Even more important than his identity as an actor.

Tianxi's internal positioning is to build Wu Chao into a music industry icon like Jay Chou and Leehom Wang.

Although this might be a little difficult, Tianxi is willing to take the gamble.

Even gamble a lot of resources on this.

After a pause, Chen Huiying looked at Wu Zhuo again, "Do you want to fight for the male lead of "My Lucky Star"? "

"Yes, I am very optimistic about this play!" Wu Chao nodded.

After hearing Wu Zhuo's words, Chen Huiying hesitated for a moment and said, "I think you should not join in the fun!"

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhuo was stunned.

Sanli invested a lot in this drama and attached great importance to it. Logically, Chen Huiying should support it.

“My friends at Sanli told me that this drama was actually tailor-made for Jimmy Lin.

Why do you think the male protagonist is set as a racing driver?

That’s because Jimmy Lin is into racing.”

While driving, Chen Huiying said, "I know you are ambitious and want to be the protagonist, but you don't have to be consumed by Sanli.

The reason they invited you to audition was not because they wanted to use you, but because they wanted to use the popularity of your competition with Jimmy Lin to hype themselves up.”

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo felt that it was indeed possible.

The style of the drama "My Lucky Star" is indeed very suitable for Jimmy Lin.

"If that's the case, I won't participate."

Since he knew that they wanted to use his fame to create hype, Wu Chao naturally would not ask for trouble.

It's just an idol drama, there's no need for him to be too obsessed with it.

It's his personal album.

Right now, this is the real priority.

……

After returning home, Wu Zhuo called Guo Biting and then locked himself in the room to think about the song selection for his personal album.

"Onion" and "The Day After Tomorrow" will definitely be added to the new album.

These two songs are very popular now, and Lu Shiyu specifically instructed that these two songs be added to the new album.

Then Dangerous Party can also join in.

The download rate of this song is very high, and it is no longer limited to Taiwan Province, but has begun to spread in the mainland. Then "Nuan Nuan" can also be added.

After the song was broadcast on Shanghai Satellite TV, it became quite popular and of very good quality.

This way, there are four songs on this album.

Wu Zhuo needs to prepare six more songs.

Huayan’s willingness to give up the recording copyright of the song is not for nothing.

Apart from providing assistance in production and distribution, they will not help Wu Chao with the songs.

The general meaning is to make this money with the smallest investment.

This is actually the same as Jay Chou's.

This is Sony's idea. Since you don't want to give me the copyright, I will let you go. If you have the ability, I will give you a push. If you don't have the ability, sorry, I won't invest more money.

Therefore, the songs in Jay Chou's albums are basically all composed by himself.

The advantage of Huayan's lack of intervention to Wu Zhuo is that the songs in his album are basically his own songs, and when he leaves Huayan in the future, he can take them with him.

Wu Zhuo found the songs he had copied, checked them one by one, and began to select.

He didn't think about the style.

Style is not entirely a matter of the song, but varies from singer to singer.

Unless it's a song with a very strong style.

Generally, songs that don’t have a particularly strong style will have different styles when sung by different singers due to differences in voice and singing methods.

For example, when Yang Chen first sang the song "Mouse Loves Rice", many people said it sounded rustic. But when Wang Leehom sang it, it immediately had a high-end feel.

Therefore, after Wu Zhuo eliminated the songs that did not suit his voice well, he started selecting the other songs without worrying about the style.

After a while, he picked out three songs.

"Angel in the Devil", the original version of this song is sung by Hebe Tien, and it has a different flavor when sung by a male voice. In 2018, Kang Shulong's performance on "The Voice of China" had a unique flavor, even better than the original singer.

"Rice Fragrance", a song by Jay Chou in 2008, won the Golden Melody Award for Best Song of the Year that year.

"Too Real a Kiss" is the top representative work of Hins Cheung, the toxic guy.

"Think Too Much" is Lee Kyu-cheol's representative song.

With these four songs, plus "Nuan Nuan", "Onion", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Dangerous Party", Wu Chao feels that the overall quality of the album has been formed.

For the next two songs, Wu Zhuo chose two relatively ordinary songs.

One of them is "Gravity" by Wang Sulong.

A song called "Superfluous Explanation" by Xu Song.

Well, actually if you count them carefully, there seems to be no song in this album that is of poor quality.

There's no way. Wu Zhuo was a cover singer in his previous life, and he wouldn't even bother to cover any bad songs.

This resulted in the fact that after he traveled through time, the songs in his mind were either songs that had been popular for a while or songs that had a large audience.

So, even if he wanted to come up with a particularly ordinary song, he couldn't.

After deciding on the songs, Wu Zhuo put away the other songs and began to arrange the music for these songs according to his memory.

As mentioned before, the arrangement of a song is very important.

Different arrangements can make a song different in quality.

Therefore, Wu Zhuo needs to restore the original arrangements of these songs as much as possible according to his memory.

Just as Wu Zhuo was fully immersed in composing the music, he was suddenly interrupted by a phone call.

“If time forgets to turn”

“I forgot to take something with me”

"Will you still stop at the day you said you loved me?"
