Chapter 64: Suffering from the Search Words
The motivation is to release an album as soon as possible and make money through debut.
In the following days, Fan Wumian often took leave from school and ran to the Sapphire Blue Music Studio, where he completed the production of five songs in one go, leaving only three songs to be recorded.
It's easier to compose music for him.
The melody and lyrics were already ready, and there was no need to modify them.
After the most troublesome "songwriting" part is done, others only need to be responsible for arranging, recording and mixing.
Even the owner of this music studio said that if every business deal went as smoothly as this one, he wouldn't be so annoyed that he would want to change his career all day long.
During the recording session.
The rich experience of singing in bars provided great help to Fan Wumian.
The advantage is that he is not only very familiar with these songs, but also not limited to a certain style. He has long been accustomed to imitating various songs.
The music producers who worked with him were very satisfied, and Fan Wumian also recognized the strength of this music studio.
therefore.
As the first album will be completed in a few days, he plans to wait until the recording is finished and then continue to entrust the Sapphire Blue Music Studio to produce a batch of mobile phone ringtones.
Not only that, he will also prepare his second solo album as soon as possible, and include all the songs in "Mai Ba" in the album.
The interval between the release of two albums will most likely not exceed three or four months.
no way.
Some already famous singers are not short of money and are not worried about lack of fan support. It is common for them to spend a year or two preparing for an album, and they often only release singles.
As a newcomer in the music industry, Fan Wumian can only work hard to avoid being a flash in the pan and falling into the embarrassing situation of becoming popular but then fading away.
After Zhuang Muxi signed the contract with the Coconut Tree brand, the related news once again became popular on the Internet.
In addition, Wangcai Capital's eldest son Mai Shuli has also begun warming up for his upcoming album, and many Hong Kong media are busy promoting it for him.
Fan Wumian originally thought that he would have to continue to be patient and persevere before he could catch the wind that belonged to him.
Never imagined.
A bullet that had been flying for more than ten days finally came in front of him.
As the head of the advertising and marketing services department of Penguin Holdings' Hong Kong City branch, Shi Yiping has been very busy recently.
He and his boss went on a business trip to Bangkok, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, trying to find a way to open up overseas markets for Penguin Chat.
The solution was not found, but Manager Shi obviously had a great time traveling on company funds for more than ten days. When he came back, he even brought some Malaysian specialty snacks for his employees.
At a meeting in the evening, after listening to colleagues' reports on their recent work, Manager Shi finally remembered Fan Wumian and the Mandarin song "Gray Avatar".
Wait until after the meeting is over.
Manager Shi thought that it would be better to pay more attention to the tasks assigned by the senior executives of the group headquarters.
So after returning to the office, he immediately took out the contract signed by both parties, found Fan Wumian's mobile phone number in it, and called him personally.
----------------
"Me? To act in your music commercial?"
When Fan Wumian received the call from Manager Shi, he was busy trying out songs in the studio.
Zuo Ziyan was also present today, standing outside the recording studio with her cousin separated by glass, chatting while drinking iced lemon tea.
The All Stars Girl Band rarely got all its members together and was responsible for part of the music for the Cantonese song "Enough Clock". Her cousin Wei Linyuan wanted to know what the final effect would be like, and she happened to be free today, so she came to take a look.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Zuo Ziyan by chance, and her cousin immediately guessed something.
Fan Wumian has always been thinking about taking advantage of the Penguin Group, but unfortunately he has not found a way.
Now that a great opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him, of course he chose to agree without hesitation, without considering the money at all. However, Manager Shi took the initiative to offer to pay an additional HK$5 appearance fee.
As he had no idea that he had actually completed a particularly successful "blackmail" without being noticed, and learned that there was an appearance fee to be received, he just felt that big companies just had to be very particular about how they did things.
However, compared with the powerful publicity channels of Penguin Group, the remuneration of 5 Hong Kong dollars was just a pleasant surprise. Fan Wumian was busy discussing the time, location and other details of shooting the music commercial MV with Director Shi.
Outside the recording studio.
Wei Linyuan stared at him, then suddenly turned her head and asked Zuo Ziyan in a low voice:
"I'm afraid your relationship with this handsome guy is more than just classmates, right? You actually accompanied him here again. You weren't so diligent before. You stood us up every time our band performed at a bar owned by a friend."
Zuo Ziyan smiled awkwardly and insisted:
"Don't think too much about it. I just think making music is fun. I've never been involved in this before. I'm still young, and it's not appropriate for me to go to the bar to play. I really didn't mean to stand you up."
The words "I don't believe it" were written all over his face.
Wei Linyuan said with a smile:
"I'm not going to tell on your parents, so talk to me about what's going on."
"Your classmate is not only talented and a good singer, but also very pretty. I'm actually quite optimistic about him. If I could create so many good songs in one go, the Starry Sky Band would have been famous a long time ago."
"Honestly, I feel he has the potential to become a very popular singer. The album he is currently recording is of very high quality. There is not even a song that is just for filling in the numbers."
Zuo Ziyan still chose to keep it secret and just smiled and said:
"These songs, with the background music, are indeed much better than before. He said he likes chatting with strangers, which can be a source of inspiration for him to compose new songs. Even though he seems a bit unreliable and his grades are a headache, he has actually serialized a novel in the Huiwen Daily. The boys in the school love to read it and have recently worshipped him as an idol."
After listening quietly, her cousin Wei Linyuan said:
"Oh~~~ You still say you don't like him? You've given yourself away. When a woman starts to become curious about a man, it's easy for her to fall into it. You obviously care about him."
"However, some people's personalities change drastically after they become famous, so you have to be careful."
"Although my band is over, everyone is busy taking care of children, playing mahjong, and shopping all day, but I have seen many similar examples. The first sword to become famous is to kill the person you love. When facing interviews with reporters, everyone always says that they are still single."
Although I am optimistic about Fan Wumian.
But Wei Linyuan is Zuo Ziyan's cousin after all, so of course she has to consider her sister first. She was just talking about experience, and it couldn't be said that she was stabbing her in the back.
Zuo Ziyan laughed and changed the subject:
"I know my limits. I'm not a crazy girl. Don't worry about it, cousin. Thinking too much will cause wrinkles."
The words are not finished yet.
Cai Furen, the owner of Sapphire Blue Music Studio, came over hurriedly with a laptop in his hand and said in a surprised tone:
"My friend went to Taiwan for vacation and said he found a very promising new singer online. He also forwarded me a video link. Isn't this song "Evening Wind Blows in My Heart"? It seems to have become popular in Taiwan. I saw that there are more than a thousand comments below. Why didn't you include the other Mandarin song in the video in the album this time?"
Zuo Ziyan leaned over to the screen to take a look, and waved to Fan Wumian hastily, then explained: "It was this Mandarin song that was bought by Eason Chen. He offered 20 Hong Kong dollars, and the contract was signed some time ago."
The vegetable shop owner suddenly realized:
"Oh, 20. Both Taiwan and the mainland markets are popular with Mandarin songs. Eason Chan is more likely to become popular if he sings sentimental songs, which are more suitable for his style."
Seeing Zuo Ziyan looking for him through a thick layer of glass, Fan Wumian, confused, walked out of the recording studio.
After watching the video of himself participating in a middle school singing competition, he saw some comments in traditional Chinese. He raised his eyebrows and thought, since the video has been moved to Taiwan, what about the mainland?
I have been too busy recently and have paid little attention to news and forums in the mainland. Fan Wumian is not so narcissistic as to search his own name on the Internet all day long.
At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that some "porters" are only responsible for moving videos and would not be so idle as to add the name of Passerby A into the title.
He borrowed a computer from the restaurant owner, opened the official website of Baidu, and directly searched for the keyword "evening breeze blowing in my heart", and actually found a lot of relevant information.
There is a post on Tianya Forum last week, the title reads - "Hong Kong's strongest high school student stunned Eason Chan with his original song!!!"
Thousands of comments followed.
There is also an old news from more than ten days ago, the title is - "Rejecting the 100 million Hong Kong dollars signing fee from King Records on the spot, Gangcheng High School pays more attention to the cultivation of interests and hobbies, which needs to cause educators to reflect. "
After reading it, Fan Wumian almost vomited blood.
As expected, many netizens only copied the video, and his name was not mentioned between the lines at all. It would be strange if he could find it on the Internet.
He had always thought that he had not made even a small splash in the competition, until now he realized that he had suffered a loss due to the search keywords.
Although the contribution of these news to his fame was so small that it was almost negligible, it made Fan Wumian feel much more comfortable psychologically.
Previously, Mai Jia used capital to defeat his "talent".
Even though I understand that this is normal in the entertainment industry, it's hard not to feel a little uncomfortable.
The praises in the comments section of these posts proved that gold will always shine, and instantly gave him a shot of chicken blood
