Today's young people are really amazing!
Looking at the pair of siblings in front of him, Lin Zhijie felt that he was really getting old.
Thinking can't keep up with the rhythm of young people.
Lu Chen, 22 years old, has just graduated from university, not majoring in music. He made his official debut through a talent show with good ratings and became a rising star in the pop music scene.
Moreover, he did not follow the route to fame that most newcomers would take. He did not sign a contract with any brokerage company, and directly established his own studio. Now he is about to release his first album. The speed of his rise is jaw-dropping!
Lu Xi, Lu Chen's older sister, who is also his agent and studio manager, is also dazzlingly young.
Although in Lin Zhijie's view, both Lu Chen and Lu Xi were immature, but the spirit of self-confidence and self-improvement shared by the two of them deeply touched this old Jianghu in the circle.
Tan Hong likes to support newcomers, and Lin Zhijie is not bad, so he helped out.
Today's domestic pop music scene is in great need of aggressive and capable rising stars!
Lin Zhijie shook his head and said, "You don't need to thank me, I'm also helping the company to get business, the key depends on you, whether the CD album can be released successfully, the quality is the key..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Lu Chen is really fine in this regard!
From the preliminary round of "Singing China" to the final round, Lu Chen sang all original works.
"You at the same table", "Flying Higher", "Youth Jinshi", "Love in the Wind and Dust"... and "Chasing Dreams", which are currently popular on the Internet, are all written by him, and the capitals are excellent. , even a classic!
After careful calculation, it is not a problem at all to put together a complete album.
As for the quality of the rap...
Then there's so much to say, as a judge, he gave Lu Chen several 10 points!
Lin Zhijie immediately swallowed back the words that followed, and asked, "Where are you going to make this album?"
The music director of Feishi Records found that he was slow enough. Lu Chen's album can be taken over and put in his own company to produce, promote and release a one-stop process!
With the quality of these songs, Lu Chen's talent, and the solid strength of Flying Rock Records, maybe they can create a small miracle and reproduce some of the glory of the record industry back then.
Lin Zhijie has always been worried about the decline of the record industry.
The appearance of this opportunity made him excited immediately!
How could Lu Chen guess what Lin Zhijie was thinking, and replied without hesitation: "It is currently being produced in Nirvana Studio, and seven songs have been recorded, and they should be completed in a week at most."
If it weren't for the delay of the "Singing China" national tour PK competition, his debut album must have been completed.
But the time spent is nothing at all, it is equivalent to publicity in advance.
Lin Zhijie was instantly disappointed—how could you hastily produce your first album for others
Nirvana studio? What the hell is that
Never heard of it!
He suddenly stood up and said, "Go, take me to that studio, I want to try it out!"
Secretly made a decision, if the production level of this Nirvana studio is not good, then he should not talk about it, and must pry Lu Chen's business over and do it again.
It's not about making money or anything, now all the records are at a loss, Lin Zhijie doesn't want to see these good songs being ruined by others, otherwise his conscience will feel uneasy!
Under the current domestic environment, it is rare to have an excellent original song, let alone an entire album.
Lu Chen and Lu Xi looked at each other, not understanding why Lin Zhijie was so excited.
But the music director of Feishi Records must give face, Lu Chen said quickly: "Okay, then I will take you there now, Nirvana Studio is also in the park, very close."
Lin Zhijie waved his hand: "Let's go!"
He couldn't wait to listen to Lu Chen's album, even if it was still a half-finished product.
Lu Xi paid the bill, and the group left Lanting Cafe and rushed to Nirvana Studio.
On the way, Lu Chen called Wang Jing to let her get ready.
When we arrived at the Nirvana studio, all the members came out to welcome us!
Wang Jing, Wang Hui and Wang Changsheng, together with the other three members of the Nirvana band, looked very grand.
Seeing Lu Chen and others approaching, Wang Jing stepped forward first, saluted Lin Zhijie and said, "Hello, Teacher Lin!"
Lin Zhijie was shocked by her, and said in a daze, "Okay, who are you?"
He has trained many apprentices for more than 20 years, but not the one in front of him.
Wang Jing explained: "Three years ago, you gave a public lecture in Jingyin. I listened to it twice and benefited a lot."
"Oh!"
Lin Zhijie suddenly realized: "It turned out to be like this, I said when did I have such a beautiful female student!"
Wang Jing couldn't help laughing.
She is a very refreshing girl, with short haircut and no makeup, and she has a cold and arrogant personality.
But she is very beautiful, there are no obvious flaws in her eyes, nose and mouth. If she dresses up carefully, puts on a skirt and goes out for a walk, she doesn't know how many men's hearts she can win.
Lu Chen has come to Nirvana Studio quite a few times, and I really haven't seen Wang Jing smile a few times.
And when she laughed, the surrounding space seemed to brighten up.
Wang Changsheng said respectfully: "Director Lin, it is our honor that you can come to our studio."
Lin Zhijie is well-known in the circle, and he has just served as a judge of "Singing China". Of course, Wang Changsheng knows him, and he is very happy in his heart.
This industry tycoon visited Nirvana studio, and when he tells others in the future, he has a bright face!
Lin Zhijie was used to seeing various situations, and he responded very gracefully: "You are too polite, let's talk inside."
He came to listen to music, not socialize.
In fact, Lin Zhijie was already blaming Lu Chen in his heart at this time.
This studio looks like a small workshop at first glance. Whether it is the reception room or the office inside, they are all cramped and cramped. How can you produce good works under such poor conditions
It wasn't until he came to the recording studio that his impression changed.
From Lin Zhijie's professional point of view, this small recording studio is very professionally furnished, and the investment in equipment is not too bad. Nirvana Studio should spend most of its funds on it, which is why the outside is so bad.
Such a business attitude is worthy of recognition.
However, Lin Zhijie still has doubts about the quality of the album.
After all, apart from Wang Changsheng, the other members of Nirvana Studio are all young people of similar age.
Since there is no special audition room in the studio, Lin Zhijie directly asked for monitor headphones to audition the high-quality audio sources that have been recorded.
The specific operation is done by Wang Hui.
It took Lin Zhijie more than half an hour to hear it.
Due to his special status, everyone waited in the recording studio.
Lu Chen and Lu Xi are alright, Wang Changsheng, Wang Hui, and Wang Jing all seem nervous and a little hopeful.
Lin Zhijie is a real connoisseur, his professionalism is unquestionable, he came to Nirvana studio to audition Lu Chen's first album, his evaluation will undoubtedly affect the reputation of the studio in the industry.
If Lin Zhijie says it's not good or not, then even if Nirvana Studio doesn't close down immediately, it will be very difficult in the future, because with a bad reputation, not many clients are willing to send business over.
And if he can say a few words of praise, the situation will be completely reversed!
In this anxious waiting, Lin Zhijie finally finished listening to all 7 recorded works.
He took off the monitor earphones with a complicated look on his face.
As far as the current production of the usual works is concerned, Lin Zhijie is not very satisfied, he has heard a lot of problems.
For example, the arrangement is not perfect enough, the instrumental accompaniment lacks sufficient layering and details, and the post-processing techniques are a bit immature, which does not fully express the artistic conception and emotion of the song...
But it is undeniable that Nirvana Studio is very serious and dedicated to making this album. As far as the conditions and equipment here are concerned, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level with the strength of a few young people. Not bad, really can't demand too much.
So Lin Zhijie couldn't help feeling conflicted. On the one hand, he hoped that Lu Chen's debut album would be perfect, and on the other hand, he didn't want to or couldn't bear to hurt these hard-working young people.
attitude decides everything!
Most importantly, this is Lu Chen's own choice.
Lin Zhijie thought for a while and said, "There are some problems, but overall it's okay."
He pointed out the shortcomings directly.
If it were someone else, maybe they wouldn't be so serious. Say something nice about hello, hello, hello, everyone, and it has nothing to do with me.
But Lin Zhijie is not like this, he doesn't like that hypocritical way of communication.
Say what you have, be straight!
For Wang Jing, Wang Hui and others, this is undoubtedly an excellent learning opportunity for them. Usually, even if the studio spends money to invite them, it is impossible to invite someone of Lin Zhijie's level to come and guide them in person.
Therefore, everyone listened very carefully, and the more critical the words, the more they kept in mind!
Once you know where your shortcomings are, you can correct them.
When Lin Zhijie talked about the rise, he also forgot his own principles and began to analyze several songs comprehensively.
Lu Xi didn't understand, the more she listened, the more confused she became, she couldn't help but look at Lu Chen.
With so many problems with the new album, can it still work
Lu Chen gave her a positive look.
Any album, no matter which company produced it, cannot be truly perfect.
The strength of Nirvana Studio is indeed not strong enough, but Wang Jing and Wang Hui's work attitude makes him have nothing to say. Even if there are certain flaws, it will not have much impact on the overall quality.
The production cost of 100,000 yuan is already worth the money!
