Fang Xing took Lu Ming into the recording studio and started recording the song "Big Fish".
"Big Fish" is a song written by Yin Yue, composed by Qian Lei, and sung by Zhou Shen.
This song is the impression song of the animated film "Big Fish and Begonia". In 2016, it won the Top Ten Golden Song Award at the annual Asian New Song Chart Annual Ceremony.
This song can be said to be a label for Zhou Shen, and it is widely sung.
This song is more difficult for male voices.
The highest note in the lyrics is D5 flat, and the singing part reaches F5.
However, some of Zhou Shen's live versions of "Big Fish" can be sung up to A5.
Lu Ming got the sheet music last night. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He lay on the bed and hummed once, then got up and ran into the bathroom with the door and windows closed to practice.
I didn't go to bed until late at night and took a taxi here as soon as I woke up in the morning. I was in good spirits.
Since he had practiced it many times last night, Lu Ming looked at the music score and could follow it smoothly the first time.
All that's left is to work out the details. Once the pitch is fine, it's time to pursue the emotion.
This song requires a lot of emotion in the chorus part, because the line about watching the big fish fly to the sky needs to convey the feeling of wanting to stay but not being able to stay.
Last night, when I sent a message to Lu Ming to record the song, I also sent a WeChat message to Guo Keda, asking him to come to Songshi Records when he was free.
When "Big Fish" was halfway through recording, Guo Keda came over.
"There was an announcement in the morning. I flew over as soon as the work was over. How's it going?" Guo Keda entered the recording studio and saw Lu Ming recording inside.
"It's finished soon. Let's go back to the office and chat after Lu Ming finishes recording." Fang Xing continued to control the recording equipment and helped Lu Ming dig out the details.
Guo Keda picked up an ear and put it on his head. Hearing Lu Ming's singing, his eyes widened immediately: "Brother Fang, this song is going to be a hit. Tsk tsk, Xiao Luzi's voice is really enviable and jealous.
"
In a small group of four.
Guo Keda has the weakest singing ability among the four.
He recognized this very early, and he also knew that his voice talent was incomparable to that of Lu Ming and Shao Yu.
In fact, he likes to play music and musical instruments, but liking does not mean he must pursue perfection.
He not only likes music, but also likes to drink draft beer.
Moreover, he does not feel that he has to give up other hobbies for music.
Therefore, he has positioned himself very clearly as a music lover.
In addition, his voice talent cannot be compared with Lu Ming, so he never demands that he must sing a popular song.
It is precisely because of this mentality that he has no burden in music.
Moreover, he is a sociopath. He prefers to go out and have fun with friends than staying in the recording studio.
Therefore, when he said "envy, jealousy and hatred", his tone was actually ridiculing.
…
After Lu Ming finished recording the demo, the three of them returned to Fang Xing's office.
Fang Xing directly told them his recent plans: "I'm going to open a studio and help Lu Ming record this song, which is the first job of the studio. It will be released together with an animated short film.
"Lu Ming, I'm going to sing this song for you. What I recorded today is a demo, and I want to give it to my collaborators to listen to.
"You go back and practice again. Maybe we will start recording officially in a few days."
Lu Ming immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, no problem, I like this song so much."
Ever since he called his grandfather and learned that his family had been paying attention to him and had no objection to him switching to falsetto, his heart had opened up.
Fang Xing then looked at Guo Keda and said, "I'm going to open a studio and I need help. Can you come over?"
Guo Keda immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course I will come, and I will hang out with Brother Fang from now on."
Fang Xing added: "I asked you to come here because I am going to let you be the manager of the studio. If you want to continue, I can bring you the management team in the future.
"As for this song, if I have a chance in the future, I can send you one or two."
Guo Keda reached out and slapped Fang Xing on the shoulder and said, "Don't I know how much I weigh? I can lead the management team. Anyway, I will hang out with Brother Fang from now on."
"Then it's settled. Sister Hong will come over later. You sign a contract with her and find a time to join the company. The studio should be registered in a few days."
At noon, Qiao Yinghong came over and arranged the entry procedures for Guo Keda.
He is now considered an employee of Songshi Records and was arranged to go to Fang Xing's studio.
Qiao Yinghong and Li Caiwei talked and decided to come over to help Fang Xing and set up the studio first.
Li Caiwei was very supportive of Qiao Yinghong coming to run Fang Xing's studio.
She also has a little thought in her heart.
From now on, Qiao Yinghong will run Fang Xing's studio, and when there are new songs to be found and singers to sing, of course, those who are closest to the stage will be first come first served ones.
…
the next day.
The sound engineer synthesized the demo of "Big Fish".
Fang Xing sent the demo to Liang Jing and asked him to listen to it.
After Liang Jing heard this, he was extremely excited.
He has been making the animation of "There Are Fishes in the North Ming", and the emotions described in the animation are what "Big Fish" expresses.
He worked day and night to make the animation, and the animation seemed to have become a part of him. Even what he dreamed about in his dreams were animation scenes.
And this song seemed to be sung into his dream.
"Teacher Fang, this song is so good, can it really be used as the theme song of an animation?" Liang Jing's breathing was a little rapid. This kind of song fit even in dreams, and he was afraid that Fang Xing would regret it.
"I don't charge you any money for this song. I'll give it a discount of two million and buy a stake in your animated movie. In addition, I will make additional investment based on the progress of your action movie production. If you agree, you can come to Songshi Records to sign the contract tomorrow." Fang
Xing Xing clarified the method of cooperation.
"Okay, okay." Liang Jing agreed to the plan without thinking.
In fact, he has only raised 1.5 million from crowdfunding to produce animations.
His current team has six people, and this amount of money is only enough to cover wages.
If you want to make this animated film, 1.5 million is simply not enough.
His original idea was to wait until the theme song became popular before continuing to raise funds to make animated films.
Now, if Fang Xing cooperates by buying shares at a discount on songs, he will naturally not object.
After all, he had no money to buy the song as the theme song for the movie, so buying shares at a discount would make him have more funds.
…
Noon.
Liang Yusong called and asked Fang Xing to go to his office and wanted to talk about "Big Fish".
After the demo of "Big Fish" came out, Liang Yusong had already listened to it.
He also felt that the song might be a hit.
Fang Xing arrived at Liang Yusong's office and drank a cup of tea first.
Liang Yusong went straight to the point: "I listened to "Big Fish" and it was very good. I heard that you have decided to use this song as the theme song for an animated movie?"
"Yes, that's the plan." Fang Xing nodded in agreement.
"I took a look at this animated film project called "There Are Fishes in the North". To be honest, it's not a high-quality project." Liang Yusong carefully considered his words and did not use too bad words to describe "There Are Fishes in the North", but there was something in his words.
The meaning is obvious.
This is indeed the case. The animated film project "Fish in the North" is still in the crowdfunding stage, and there is no prospect of it.
If the plan for this project is placed on the desk of the investment department of any film and television company, it will be thrown directly into the trash can.
"I know, this project is really not very good now."
Fang Xing paused, then continued: "However, I think Liang Jing is okay. I watched the animated short film he produced.
"If I don't invest in his animated film, I will also consider buying the animated short film and making the MV for "Big Fish". In this case, it is better to bring funds into the group, be the main creative team, and personally control the project."
After listening to this, Liang Yusong understood Fang Xing's thoughts, so he asked: "The song "Big Fish" should be bought at a discount..."
The song "Big Fish" was produced and released by Pine Stone Records.
Therefore, the matter of using this song to buy shares in "Bei Ming You Yu Yu" at a discount needs to be discussed with the company.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "Yes, this song is discounted to buy into "Fish in the North Ming". Buying a stake in this project is my personal investment. So I will replenish the company with the discounted part."
According to the producer's contract, Fang Xing's share is 50%, so the discount is 2 million, of which 1 million should go to Pine Stone Records.
When Songshi Records released this song, they needed to use distribution channels and also use local promotion and other publicity methods.
Even when Liang Yusong sings, he still gets divided like this.
Therefore, Fang Xing planned to contribute 1 million to the company from his own income.
Liang Yusong waved his hand and said, "It depends on what you think. If you think you need the company to help you share the risk, this million can be regarded as the company's investment."
Fang Xing said: "This 2 million is my personal investment. If the company wants to invest, we can consider making additional investments. I estimate that this animated film will require an investment of 30 million to 50 million. If the company wants to invest, we can consider it."
.”
Liang Yusong said with an easy-going smile: "I can't make the decision for such a large investment. I have to discuss it with other shareholders. Besides, our company is not a film and television company, and there has never been any precedent of investing in a film project."
Film and television companies have specialized investment departments. To invest in a project, the investment department needs to conduct a comprehensive investigation and analysis of the project.
Songshi Records is a record company and does not have a dedicated film and television investment department, so it has never made such an investment.
…
Early the next morning.
Liang Jing went to Songshi Records and waited until Qiao Yinghong came over with the contract to sign.
The contract was issued by the legal department of Songshi Records, and a legal officer came with Qiao Yinghong to explain the terms of the contract to Liang Jing.
Liang Jing was already stunned by the song "Big Fish", and he saw the hope of using this song to finance the production of a movie.
Now he just wants to make an animated movie and doesn't think about other things so much.
So, he quickly read the terms of the contract and signed the contract.
In the afternoon.
Fang Xing called Lu Ming over, signed the singing contract for "Big Fish", and started recording the official version.
After the official version of "Big Fish" was recorded, it was combined into the MV with the animated short film "There Are Fishes in the North Ming".
After the MV was completed, Songshi Records officially released the song.
Along with this song, the animated short film "There Are Fishes in the North Ming" was released.
The animated short film was launched on major video platforms, and Songshi Records spent money to promote it on the homepages of major video platforms.
"Big Fish" dominated all major online platforms overnight.
Fang Xing's Weibo account also posted updates about "Big Fish".
As soon as "Big Fish" was released, it ranked first in the hot search within three hours.
The animated short film "There Are Fishes in the North" has also begun to dominate the screens of major online platforms.
The MV for "Big Fish" released by Penguin Video exceeded 10 million views in three hours.
All kinds of sand barrages started flying around:
【High energy warning!】
[High energy warning! Please wear headphones and turn on the brainwashing cycle. 】
[Here we come, Fang Xing and Lu Ming are making another move.]
【This song goes so well with this animation.】
【Suddenly I feel like watching this movie, when will it be released? 】
[This crappy project is still attracting investment. It is estimated that it will not be seen in three to five years.]
[Lu Ming’s five sets of high notes still sound so good.]
…
This evening.
After Ni Hongdan finished dinner, he pushed his baby walking device and took his daughter Qiqi for a walk in the green park next to the community.
The phone suddenly dinged and dinged.
She picked up her phone and took a look and found that a lot of people were @her in the fan group.
[Qiqi’s mother, look at Weibo, Fang Xing has released another song, it’s so good, please use the traffic to buy milk powder for Qiqi. 】
[Is Qiqi’s mother the kind of person who supports traffic? We are serious supporters of Fang Xing.]
[That’s right, Fang Xing is supported by Zhenger Ba Jing and earns milk powder money for Qiqi by the way.]
Ni Hongdan opened Weibo and saw that the animated MV for "Big Fish" had already topped the list of hot searches.
She posted a shocked emoticon in the group:
[I was just going out to walk my baby, and there was such a big noise. I was completely caught off guard.]
After she finished saying this, she knelt down and pinched her daughter's cheek: "Qiqi, we have to go home, mom has to work."
Qiqi was unhappy. She flattened her mouth, pointed at the park square, and kept kicking her legs: "Go there and play, go there and play..."
Ni Hongdan picked up her daughter with one hand, picked up the baby-walking tool with the other, turned around and walked back.
After returning home, she quickly understood the current situation, and then clicked on the animated MV for "Big Fish".
During the prelude of the song, the animated MV began to play. A human girl picked up a fish and took it home to feed it.
The intro is over and it’s time for the main song.
Lu Ming's ethereal and clean voice came from the headphones:
"The waves silently submerged the night deeply, spreading over the corners of the sky.
"The big fish swims through the gaps in dreams, staring at your sleeping silhouette..."
As soon as Ni Hongdan heard it, he knew that the song was of high quality.
Moreover, he heard a firmness in Lu Ming's voice, which was slightly different from the "Star of Tomorrow" period.
"I'm even more afraid that you will stay here forever.
"Every drop of tear flows to you.
"The bottom of the ocean flowing backwards into the sky..."
When this part was sung, the animated short film just played to show the human girl, watching the big fish grow up, and flying into the sky with a slow nostalgia.
The image of the big fish is that of a whale with huge wings and fins.
When the big fish grows to be as huge as a mountain, he finally does not belong to the human world. He cannot stay here, but he is deeply attached to the girl who raised him.
Seeing this scene, Ni Hongdan's emotions began to fluctuate a bit.
She looked back at her daughter and thought that one day her daughter would grow up and fly to a wider sky, taking her thoughts with her to explore the outside world.
She understood this feeling of reluctance, but had to let go.
Immediately afterwards.
The song comes to its second chorus:
"Watch you fly away, watch you leave me.
"It turns out that you were born to belong to the sky.
"Every drop of tear flows to you.
"Go back to the first encounter..."
Ni Hongdan's tears flowed down involuntarily. She was infected by the emotion in the song and could not calm down for a long time.
She took a deep breath, thought about her words, wrote a music review, and sent it out.
At the end of the music review, he added:
"I cried when I heard this song.
"I think that one day Qiqi will fly with my attachment to the wider sky. I still can't calm down my emotions.
"The number one on the hot song chart, I'm afraid it's going to change hands again."
This sentence was like poking a hornet's nest, immediately attracting a group of SPK fans.
Because the number one song on the music charts right now is SPK's new song "Sexy".
Three weeks ago, "Drawing Heart" was released, knocking "Sexy" from the top spot on the hot song chart.
Fans of SPK waited until the popularity peak of "Drawing Heart" passed, and then started crowdfunding again and shot to the top.
However, Fang Xing released another song "Big Fish" within two days of being at the top of the hot song chart.
Moreover, the popularity of "Big Fish" soared even more horribly than that of "Drawing Hearts".
It also topped the new song chart on the first day, and then entered the hot song chart, beginning to threaten the position of "Sexy".
Amidst the wails of countless SPK fans.
"Big Fish" surged to the top of the charts, knocking "Sexy" out of the top spot once again.
Weibo is full of howls from SPK fans and carnivalesque carnivalesque netizens.
【SPK was killed again.】
[SPK was really miserable and was beaten down twice in a row.]
[I feel that SPK has great stamina. Maybe next month, Brownian motion will occur and it will reach the top of the list for the third time.]
[Then, encounter Fang Xing’s third song?]
【Seize the bamboo shoots.】
[Fang Xing: As long as I don’t agree, you can’t even hope to sit at the top of the hot song charts.]
[SPK: Fang Xing, just be a human being.]
[What are you talking about? "Big Fish" was clearly sung by Lu Ming, okay? (Dog Head)]
[Fang Xing: I don’t even need to take action myself, I can just pick out a few leg hairs to kill you.]
[SPK is also in trouble, why did you provoke "Nocturne" in the first place? It's okay now, it did a backstroke at the top of the hot song chart, and then sank again.]
However, the development of things became increasingly dramatic.
After "Sexy" was recorded as the top of the hot song chart by "Big Fish".
Chaoyin Culture selectively gave up on the charts.
After all, when "Big Fish" was at its most popular, it was obviously not cost-effective to spend money on rankings.
Therefore, Chaoyin Culture chose to temporarily give up on the charts and prepare to wait for the limelight of "Big Fish" to pass before looking for opportunities to hit the charts.
As a result, fans of Chaoyin Culture and SPK gave up on the list.
The popularity of "Sexy" began to decline, falling directly to third place.
The number one spot on the hot song list became "Big Fish", and the number two spot became "Drawing Heart".
Shadiao netizens and Lezi people are even happier:
[Okay, here comes the funniest PK session again, "Big Fish" versus "Painted Heart". 】
[It’s over, it’s over, SPK can’t even sit still in the second position. 】
