Zhou Yifeng was stunned for a moment: "Oh? The quality of the song is not bad?"
The manager nodded: "Yes, the lyrics, music, and even the demo of the song were sent by the other party. Before, they found an ordinary lead singer to sing, and Party A was not satisfied with the effect, so they came to us."
Zhou Yifeng was annoyed, and originally wanted to push it down, but after hearing what his manager said, he decided to listen.
In fact, it is very common for many TV series, movies and even games to ask singers to sing the theme song. Like Chen Mo's previous life, "God of War" was written by Lin Xi and sung by Eason Chan, which brought out the compelling style of this game.
But on the whole, most game companies can't afford to hire big stars, and there's no need for that. Hiring big stars is mostly just a gimmick, and it's also for the sake of making the game popular.
When Zhou Yifeng heard that it was a game company, he instinctively refused to accept it.
It is definitely impossible for a game company to compose lyrics and music by themselves. Even if they find some professionals in the industry, the lyrics and music they make will definitely not be much better, and most likely they will not catch Zhou Yifeng's eyes.
If the lyrics and music are not good, then Zhou Yifeng's singing of this song is like accepting an advertisement. He just uses his own popularity to increase the popularity of the other party, which is basically of no benefit to him.
But since the manager said the song was not bad, and sent a demo, Zhou Yifeng decided to listen to it anyway, anyway, it only lasted two or three minutes, let's talk about it after listening.
Zhou Yifeng took the earphones.
The arrangement at the beginning was not bad, and the melody was also great, which caught Zhou Yifeng's eyes.
When the lyrics came out, Zhou Yifeng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"My sword, where do I go, love and hate are hard to love."
"My knife cuts through the sky, and I don't understand right and wrong."
"I'm drunk, I'm in a haze, and kindness and resentment are illusions and nothingness."
"I wake up, a dream, life and death are all empty."
These few words seem simple, but the feeling of Jianghu dream is instantly highlighted! Whether it is bloody storm or chivalrous tenderness, these few short lyrics contain everything!
Not only that, but also vividly express the feeling of a knight walking alone in the rivers and lakes and leaning on a sword while drunk!
As soon as the melody changed, the song also entered the first part.
"Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, I wish we could meet again."
"Love is also in a hurry, hate is also in a hurry, everything goes with the wind."
"Laugh wildly, sigh a long time, live a happy life, and live a sad life!"
"Who will live and die with me?"
"Who will live and die with me?"
Zhou Yifeng felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling, and his hands trembled slightly. He had an uncontrollable feeling, as if every cell was jumping for joy!
The first part of this song, Zhou Yifeng only listened to it once and firmly remembered it. No way, this song is so good!
Zhou Yifeng turned up the volume of the headphones and listened to it a second time!
At first glance, this song is very ordinary, with no high notes or complicated transitions. It seems that anyone can sing it, but the feeling of this song is not something that ordinary people can sing.
Although Zhou Yifeng was also excited when he heard it, he could tell that the singer simply couldn't control the song. Although the singer's emotions were brewing well and he sang hard, he just couldn't sing that feeling.
Zhou Yifeng guessed that maybe it was because of this reason that the singer had to be changed over there!
This song is neither rough nor soft, neither masculine nor tactful. If one word is used to describe the feeling of this song, it should be "chic".
Therefore, this song should express the feeling of a knight-errant traveling thousands of miles alone, having a bosom friend at a reception, passing by in a hurry, and going to life and death together.
The more Zhou Yifeng listened, the more excited he became, and he said to his manager: "Quickly, tell the other party, I will sing this song, ask them how much the copyright of this song sells, and I will buy it!"
…
Guo Feng called Chen Mo.
"I have two good news, which one do you want to hear first?" Guo Feng said.
Chen Mo: "..."
Guo Feng said: "The first good news is that Zhou Yifeng likes this song very much and agreed to sing it. The second good news is that Zhou Yifeng likes this song very much and wants to talk to you about buying the copyright."
Chen Mo said, "Oh, not for sale."
Guo Feng was speechless. He thought Chen Mo would be very happy, but Chen Mo refused so simply!
Originally, if it was just for Zhou Yifeng to sing, then Chen Mo would have to pay a lot of money, but now that Zhou Yifeng has taken a fancy to this song and wants to buy the copyright, then the two parties are in a cooperative relationship. If it sells well, you might be able to make a little profit every time you go back and forth.
In the end, Chen Mo was not happy
Guo Feng said: "...don't rush to refuse, the attitude over there is quite sincere, and they also said that this song is not a buyout, but a share that can be added to the new album."
Chen Mo said, "Is there any difference?"
Guo Feng thought about it for a while: "The share of the money is much higher than the buyout, it's not an order of magnitude."
Chen Mo said: "In short, whether it's a buyout or share, in the final analysis it's all about money, right?"
Guo Feng nodded: "Yes, it's about money."
Chen Mo said, "Then do you think I'm short on money?"
Guo Feng: "...No."
Chen Mo said, "Then why should I sell it?"
Guo Feng was speechless: "If you don't sell it, what can you do if you keep it, keep it for the cubs?"
Chen Mo said: "I like this song, I am happy to keep it in my hand."
Guo Feng was helpless, he thought for a while and said: "Well, there is one more thing, Zhou Yifeng said that he plans to put this song in the new album as the title song, he has a great influence in the mainland, when this song becomes popular If you wake up, it should also help your game, right?"
Chen Mo thought for a while: "That's true. Well, I can consider selling this song to him, if he sings it to my satisfaction."
Guo Feng said: "Okay, I'll give you his manager's phone number, you can talk about it yourself, if you are not satisfied, you can find someone else. However, there are really not many male singers in China who are better than him in singing, I hope you can be satisfied." Bar."
…
After talking and talking, the two parties finally made a deal. Chen Mo sold the copyright of this song to Zhou Yifeng, participated in the album sharing, and Chen Mo didn't say much about the sharing ratio. After all, this cooperation is a win-win situation.
For Zhou Yifeng, he got a good song, and for Chen Mo, it was also a good promotional opportunity.
In the previous life, this "Sword and Sword is Like a Dream" was sung by Zhou Huajian. Like "The Sutra of Difficult to Read", it is an eternal classic of Chinese martial arts songs.
In fact, Chen Mo also likes "Difficult to Read" very much, but after all, that song is in Cantonese, and it is a bit strange to use it as the theme song of "The Legend of Wulin Heroes", so Chen Mo still chose the Chinese version of "Sword and Sword". like a dream".
In fact, at the very beginning, Chen Mo was also thinking about how to make the work "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" gain wider attention.
The previous methods of making animation and CG are not easy to use. After all, the themes are different. The theme of martial arts pays more attention to the artistic conception, not a specific picture, so Chen Mo thinks about it, and it is more appropriate to come up with the theme song .
As for whether the players in this world accept it, we can only know after the game is launched.
