There are many music production companies in Beijing, and there are even more small studios.
In the Delong Building alone, there are many well-known music production units in the industry such as Tianlai Workshop, Golden Disc Culture, Sunshine Records, etc., and the competition between them is very fierce.
Although Lu Chen's first choice for producing his solo album was Tianlai Studio, the latter was not the only choice.
He didn't expect that there would be a small studio promoting business in the lobby of Delong Building.
It’s really hard to do business now!
While sighing, Lu Chen chatted with Wang Changsheng, the manager of Nirvana Studio, for a few minutes.
Wang Changsheng has some confidence to dare to come here to solicit customers. This Nirvana Studio has an independent recording studio and band. Its members include three graduates of Beijing Music, and can complete all the work from composition to post-production.
The most important thing is that their prices are cheap.
Wang Changsheng said: "Our studio has the ability to guarantee the production quality of Tianlai Workshop's D package. The price is only 100,000, and an album is only 100,000!"
Wang Changsheng was definitely not a shrewd businessman. He was obviously nervous when he made the price. He stared straight at Lu Chen and his hands clenched into fists involuntarily, as if he was worried about being ruthlessly rejected by the latter.
But in the previous sentence, he said it very confidently.
And he knows the Teana Workshop quite well.
Lu Chen found it interesting. The price of package D of Tianlai Workshop was 250,000 yuan, and Wang Changsheng asked for 100,000 yuan. There was obviously room for bargaining, and there should be no problem in cutting off more.
But why can the other party guarantee the same quality?
Tianlai Studio is said to have spent several million on the recording studio alone, and its advanced facilities are among the best in the industry. Lu Chen didn't believe that Nirvana Studio would have such a large investment, otherwise one of his managers would use himself to attract business?
And it’s still like waiting for the rabbit!
Lu Chen didn't think he was the rabbit that hit the tree. He thought for a while and said: "Manager Wang, I am preparing to release a solo album, but the quality requirements are very high. The one currently finalized is Tianlai Studio, so
terribly sorry."
Package D of Tianlai Workshop is not Lu Chen’s choice. If he wants to be cheaper, he can also choose package E.
It’s more reliable than a small, unknown studio, right?
"That...that's really disturbing. I'm sorry to waste your time."
Wang Changsheng waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "I should be the one to apologize. Then...see you later."
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
He was not mocking, but he felt that this person was really not a businessman and did not understand basic negotiation skills.
However, he had a better impression of Wang Changsheng.
Lu Chen stood up and reached out to the other party: "Manager Wang, if there is any need, I will contact you again."
"well!"
Wang Changsheng stood up hurriedly and shook hands with Lu Chen: "Thank you!"
Lu Chen nodded and left the teahouse.
When leaving, Lu Chen paid for it - a pot of tea here is not cheap.
Wang Changsheng sat for a while longer. When he called the waiter to pay the bill, he found that Lu Chen had already paid the bill. He hurried out and wanted to chase Lu Chen, but he couldn't find the latter anywhere!
Lu Chen returned to his home and spent the afternoon sorting out the songs for the album.
There are ten songs in an album, and he originally settled on six songs: "My Deskmate", "Love in the Wind", "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk", "Cinderella", "Young Jinshi" and "Beauty".
Now you can add "Those Flowers" and "Time Ballad". The eight songs have a unified style and are classic enough.
The first album in his life, Lu Chen will never be ambiguous!
After careful consideration, he also added "The Past You" to the album playlist.
"The Way You Were" is not a folk song, but a light rock style, but Lu Chen likes this song very much, and he decided to use this song as the ending song of the album, which is a little surprise Easter egg.
It's really luxurious when you think about it. No matter "My Deskmate", "Lian Lian Chen", "Those Flowers" or even "Beauty", any song is qualified to be used as the title song of an album for promotion.
Lu Chen put them all on the same album, which felt like a waste of resources.
Owning a world's treasures is so capricious!
As for the tenth song, Lu Chen has already thought about it.
This song is also a folk song, with the same nostalgic style, and it is very nostalgic.
Just listen and you will know.
"...
The open space below my house is a movie theater.
It no longer appears on summer nights.
Children today no longer understand that in the past,
The world that people at that time were intoxicated with.
I grew up watching them act out love,
I felt sad when they kissed,
Beneath the screen children play games,
There were people crying for her in the movie.
La...
There are no open-air cinemas in the city anymore,
I can no longer see the other side of the screen.
Are you still playing the games back then?
I can no longer see the stars while watching the movie
La..."
When Lu Chen finished singing this soothing, delicate and even slightly poignant new song, Lu Fei's live broadcast room was flooded with barrages.
"That sounds great, Lu Fei is so talented!"
“It’s very nostalgic, I like it!”
"It reminds me of my childhood. The lyrics are so well written and the melody is even better!"
"What's the name of this song?"
"Strongly request to sing it again, no no, ten times!"
"Sing ten more times +1!"
"..."
Lu Chen put down the guitar and said with a smile: "The name of this song is called Open Air Cinema. It is the first time I sing it in a live broadcast room. It makes up for the debt I owe everyone during this period. I hope everyone likes it."
He went home and attended the graduation ceremony, and the live broadcast was temporarily suspended for a few days.
When the broadcast resumes tonight, the online popularity of the live broadcast room has dropped a lot, starting with only 300,000+.
Therefore, in addition to singing his new song for the first time, Lu Chen also wants to announce some good news.
After a pause, he continued: "One more thing to tell you, that is, I plan to rearrange all the songs I have written before, make them into real albums, and then publish them on the Internet!"
“Everyone is welcome to purchase and download!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the live broadcast room exploded!
"What? An album? I heard that right!"
"Lu Fei is so mighty!"
"Great, I've been looking forward to this day!"
"Anchor Dada, which website is your album on?"
"Don't say anything. Let me know when the time comes and I will mobilize all my friends and classmates to buy the genuine version!"
"Yes, we support genuine products!"
"Online albums cost 10 yuan each. The student party said there is no pressure and it's just a skipped breakfast!"
"The real rich man in front of me costs 10 yuan for breakfast."
"But I want the CD even more!"
"CD+1!"
"CD+2!"
"CD+10000!"
"..."
Along with the barrage came countless fishball rewards, as well as aircraft carriers sent by wealthy people!
This is the most direct way for fish fans to express their joy.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room became extremely lively, and the popularity level increased steadily due to the appearance of heavy rewards.
Although Lu Chen's every live broadcast is recorded, and all the songs he sings can be found on the forum's Fish Nest, playing and singing videos are completely different. However, specially produced music albums are a completely different matter.
So far, despite the water content of hundreds of thousands of fishmeal, Lu Chen has already gained a group of real fans. They like Lu Chen's live broadcast style, his original works, and his nostalgic or sad ballads.
On days when they can't see Lu Chen's live broadcast, they will repeatedly watch past videos, listen to his songs over and over again, and spare no effort to recommend them to others.
These fans are no longer just fans, but "fans", celebrity fans!
And they also had the strongest reaction to Lu Chen's upcoming album, and most hoped that he would release a CD at the same time.
What kind of album is an online album? CD is a real album!
Many "Lu Fei Fans" expressed through barrages that they would buy CDs to support Lu Chen.
Of course, their strong appeal was noticed by Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was somewhat dumbfounded.
It is more difficult to release a CD album than an online album, and it is easier to lose money - too few people buy CDs to listen to music now.
However, the enthusiasm and eagerness of the fish fans made Lu Chen suddenly have an inspiration flash in his mind.
In fact, it is not impossible to release online albums and CD albums at the same time.
His idea comes from the dream world and seems to have never appeared in this plane!
…
While Lu Chen was communicating with fans in the live broadcast room, the first single of the Wandering Band under Qingyu Media also started its first wave of promotion on the Internet that night!
