I got in touch with the people from the publishing house pretty quickly, but it still took a while for it to actually turn into something with the fragrance of ink.
I talked a lot about various requirements, but Xiaobao didn’t understand them, so I just had to try my best to cooperate.
The days were so uneventful, and another week passed without any disturbance.
Come to work.
Deng Ziqi sent an invitation and is preparing to record.
Generally speaking, the follow-up song to the album will not be delayed for such a long time. Her new song was officially released on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. However, the results were mediocre and exceeded everyone's expectations.
Mainly because during the promotion period, the young lady participated in many variety shows, and the results were pretty good.
In particular, in "Let's Have a Dine Together", we actually visited the author of "Nan Shan Nan" and "God is a Girl", which aroused heated discussion.
There are also hot searches on Weibo.
Unexpectedly, after the sales started, the response was mediocre, forcing the brokerage company to adjust its pace.
It’s not that I don’t have confidence in the three new songs. They can be made famous by unknown anchors, let alone singers.
However, face is still important.
At least it won't be too late to release it again after the negative impact of the album has passed.
So, after waiting for a month, I decided to implement it.
Qin Xiaobao, as the composer, composer and singer of the song, must go there during the recording. This is part of the contract, after-sales service.
Early in the morning, he got up, freshened up, had a leisurely breakfast, took a taxi and went directly to the other party's company.
In April, the weather in Shanghai has become somewhat warmer. Looking out of the car window, I can see a lot of pedestrians on the road. Some are still wearing down jackets, and some have put on short skirts and short sleeves. I don’t know when they pass by.
Will they call each other stupid in their hearts?
The management company where Deng Ziqi worked was no smaller than Dongbai. If he looked for it by himself, he would easily get lost. The manager he met last time was waiting at the door in advance and took him straight to the recording engineer.
"I guess you don't have any intention of visiting." We have met twice, so we are not strangers to each other.
"Well, just get to work." Xiaobao nodded.
There are people coming and going in the brokerage company. If he is recognized, there will probably be a small disturbance, which will disrupt the original plan. The current accumulation is not enough, so he must renew his efforts and hold back his big move.
There is only one recording engineer responsible for operation in the recording studio, Deng Ziqi himself, Qin Xiaobao, and the manager are responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Long time no see, I'm sorry to trouble you today." The young lady seemed to be in a good mood.
After a brief greeting, the recording began.
Xiaobao has also been in the recording studio, so he can't be said to be a novice, and he remembers the original song, so he doesn't show any timidity. The first song he recorded was "Nanshannan". He directly called Deng Ziqi in and sang it in his own style.
.
"I think you are a bit too sad. This song is actually more like a story, narrated like a poem. They are childhood sweethearts, but things go wrong. Time lingers and there is nothing to do. This is the meaning of the whole song.
I feel more regret than sadness..."
After finishing speaking, Xiaobao sang two lines a cappella.
Deng Ziqi inside held the earphones with one hand and listened very seriously: "Yes, I understand, but this song is really more suitable for you, Teacher Xiaobao, to sing."
Qin Xiaobao shook his head: "Your voice is thick and can be completely controlled."
"No, I'm talking about the situation of the protagonist in the song."
"That can't be helped, I am a boy." Xiaobao smiled and shrugged.
"Why can you write that English song again?"
"Okay, let's continue."
She is a professional singer and can record really quickly. If she says something a little bit, she will immediately understand it and correct it.
By around two o'clock in the afternoon, the recording of "Nan Shan Nan" had been completed.
"Would you like to work overtime and continue?" Deng Ziqi asked.
"I have no problem." Xiaobao didn't care.
"Let's eat first." The agent waited for a long time. Both of them were workaholics. They drank a lot of water and even bought the food long ago but didn't eat it.
"OK."
"I'll get it."
Deng Ziqi suddenly sighed: "I feel a little scared now. I originally didn't participate in that variety show a year ago, but later my manager persuaded me that it was the next day's flight anyway, so work hard and do more publicity.
If I hadn’t gone, I wouldn’t have met you, and there wouldn’t be the three songs we have now, what a chain reaction.”
"Okay, you know what I'm doing." The agent opened a bottle of mineral water for her and handed it over.
"Yeah yeah."
"No, even without me, Miss Deng, you are still popular." Xiaobao was modest.
"It has a big impact. The album sales this time are really bad, less than 100,000, which is a bit of a blow. However, I believe that the mini album can definitely turn the situation around." The young lady's emotions changed quickly. A few seconds ago
I was still a little depressed, but suddenly I felt confident again.
"Haha, come on, come on!" Xiaobao cheered for her: "When will the album be released? I will promote it in the live broadcast room then."
He was not only doing it for Deng Ziqi, but also to build momentum for himself.
"At the end of the month, mainly because Hengxing will release its first group album in the middle of the month." After the manager next to him finished speaking, he immediately reacted: "I'm sorry, Teacher Qin."
"It's okay." Xiaobao waved his hand: "It's all over, and you also know that I am a truly talented person, right."
"That's right." The agent responded quickly.
"Xiaobao, I'm really curious, why didn't you come forward?"
"It's useless to stand up." Xiaobao said in a helpless tone: "At that time, I had just entered the industry not long ago and had no backing. The company did whatever it said, and it was indeed justified. If I was asked to cooperate and say that I wrote it, I would be honest.
If you do it, you should be punished.
But I have to thank them, maybe because of being hit, I suddenly became enlightened, suddenly gained insights, and became able to write songs, it was a blessing in disguise."
"You have a very good attitude." The young lady praised: "Indeed, if you don't have a big heart, you can't survive in the entertainment industry. Even those netizens can make you mad to death.
With your current strength, it is really not difficult to make a comeback."
"By the way," the manager thought of something: "Zi Qi, aren't you going to participate in Teacher He's variety show in a few days, or why not bring Teacher Qin with you?"
"Teacher He Jiong, base camp?" Xiaobao was curious.
"No, he's a new webcaster, making games or something."
"Do you want to go?" Deng Ziqi asked.
"I think, if you don't get there, you have to wear a mask. It's not time to reveal the secret yet." Xiaobao didn't mean to be polite.
"Okay, Xiaoliu, you can call the program team now and ask."
"OK."
Xiaoliu went outside with her cell phone and came back within five minutes.
"How about it?"
"Very welcome." Xiao Liu's face was full of smiles: "They know Teacher Qin and are eager to learn that the author of the two songs is coming. However, the acting fee is not much, only three thousand. Don't get me wrong. Zi Qi comes over
Not much, she mainly focuses on publicity..."
"I understand. I have participated in it after all, right? Money is not an issue. I will arrange the trip in advance according to the date."
"Next Tuesday, the recording location will be in Jinling. We will drive there then, or we can go together."
"Okay, but let me explain first, I don't have a makeup artist or an agent."
"It's okay," Xiao Liu patted her chest: "Put it on me."
