Time flies, time goes by little by little, and it is fleeting without knowing it, just like a white horse passing by.
In the blink of an eye, the gold-like August has passed, and Beijing, a super city with a population of 30 million, has entered September, when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. .
Blue Sky Creative Park, Nirvana Studio.
In the recording studio, studio manager Wang Changsheng, music director Wang Jing, sound engineer Wang Hui and three other members of Nirvana Studio gathered together, staring at Lu Chen nervously or expectantly.
Sweat dripped from Wang Changsheng's forehead, his eyes were a little dazed, and his right hand trembled uncontrollably.
Wang Jing's eyes were still bright and energetic, but the action of biting her lips revealed her inner emotions.
Wang Hui was the most unbearable, his whole body was trembling, he pressed his clenched fist to his mouth several times, as if he wanted to bite hard, otherwise he would yell out loudly uncontrollably.
However, Lu Chen couldn't see it at all. He was wearing a huge monitor earphone, listening to his own voice.
"Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the night."
"OH~ the brightest star in the night sky, please light me up~"
The singing gradually died down but the lingering sound lingered, still lingering in my ears, as if the blood ignited in my heart was still hot!
After a long time, Lu Chen took a long breath and opened his eyes.
Under everyone's anxious and expectant gaze, he took off his earphones, nodded and said, "It's ok."
"Yes!"
The three simple words instantly set off a frenzy of joy in the recording studio. Wang Hui was the first to yell loudly, and then the three members of the Nirvana band clapped their hands vigorously.
Wang Changsheng smiled happily with relief, and even Wang Jing, who was always calm, smiled like a spring flower.
They have reason to be happy, reason to cheer, and even more reason to celebrate!
Lu Chen's first album produced in Nirvana Studio is also the largest and most important order the studio has received since its establishment. It took two months before and after, and it is finally announced to be completed.
Although there are certain problems in arrangement, accompaniment, recording and post-production, and they are not at their best, everyone has done their best.
There are ten songs in the entire album, which cannot be said to be a flawless work, and it is also qualified to be called a sincere boutique.
Lu Chen was already very satisfied.
100,000 yuan can produce such an effect, which completely exceeded his expectations. Maybe the arrangement is a little green, and maybe the accompaniment is not mature enough, but it is really enough for this "You at the Same Table" album .
This greenness and immaturity does not affect the main style of the work at all, and it can even better express a certain temperament of campus folk songs.
He said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Lu Chen first extended his hand to Wang Changsheng. For this album, the studio manager was busy running around so that the production team would have no worries.
Then came Wang Hui.
His work is the hardest, recording and post-production are basically done by one person, and he often works overtime until late at night.
And Wang Jing.
The arrangement of all the works is done by her. This Jingyin graduate has a good grasp of the style of the album, and when encountering problems, she often takes the trouble to modify and adjust, and she is very serious about overthrowing and restarting several times.
Finally, there are three band members, also very hard.
Even if they are mainly for themselves and the studio, Lu Chen is still grateful.
Because Lu Chen participated in the production of the album himself, he is very aware of everyone's dedication and hard work!
So he would like to shake hands with everyone at Nirvana Studios one by one to express his gratitude.
The next thing is simple. According to the contract, Lu Xi, who came with Lu Chen, paid the rest of the production fee to Nirvana Studio, and also got the master disc of the album and lossless high-quality audio files.
"You at the same table" album has a total of 10 songs. In addition to the title song "You at the same table", there are also "Lianlian Fengchen", "The brother who sleeps on my upper bunk", "Cinderella", "Youth Brocade" The 8 works including "Time", "Beauty", "Those Flowers", "Time Ballad" and "Open-air Cinema" form a unified campus folk style.
The last song Lu Chen originally planned to use "Once Upon a Time You" as the finale and easter egg, but considering the influence of "Singing China" and the overall style, he finally chose "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".
As for "Once Upon a Time" and "Chasing Dreams", then put them in the next album.
Counting carefully, such a lineup can be called luxurious, and all 10 songs are masterpieces. Both the melody and the lyrics have enough bright spots, and there are real classics as the core.
For the first album in his life, Lu Chen will never be ambiguous!
It was the title of the album that made him hesitate for a long time. From the perspective of publicity, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is undoubtedly the most suitable, but it doesn't quite fit the theme of campus folk songs.
After careful consideration, Lu Chen still chose "You at the Same Table".
Lu Chen's studio has already negotiated with Feixun Music. Lu Chen's first album will be released and sold exclusively on Feixun Music.com, just waiting for this set of audio files.
Feixun Music is the largest music website in China, with a market share of more than 50%. Originally, a newcomer like Lu Chen is an independent artist. It is very difficult to promote and release on their website.
However, because the live versions of several works sung by Lu Chen in "Singing China" have achieved great success in Feixun Music, with countless downloads and good reputation, so the website attaches great importance to this cooperation between the two parties.
Although there are various light and dark rules in Feixun Music, and there are black-box operations on the homepage list, they can't ignore a rising singing star with huge market potential, so they are willing to exchange part of the benefits.
This relatively equal status did not come easily, and it was also due to Lu Chen's strength.
Otherwise, Lu Chen could go to Feixun Music's competitors, Yiwang Music, Pop Radio, etc. With the quality and popularity of his works, the sales performance will not be too bad.
Feixun Music doesn't want to take advantage of its opponents in vain, even if the latter's market share is not as good as its own.
According to Lu Chen's plan, after Feixun Music goes on sale, the cooperation with Feishi Records will start at the same time.
Feixun + Feishi basically constitute a complete album sales channel, referred to as "Double Fly".
But there is still a very important problem that has not been resolved, so it must be through the Feixun channel first.
"Xiaochen!"
Lu Chen woke up abruptly from the calling sound in his ear.
Lu Xi asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Lu Chen was fascinated by the channel distribution just now, but now he came back to his senses and quickly replied: "It's okay..."
He said to Wang Changsheng again: "Manager Wang, I have already booked a seat at the Jinghua Hotel. I will invite everyone to dinner tonight. It's almost time now, let's go together!"
The serious and responsible work attitude of Nirvana Studio made Lu Chen very fond of it, and he will definitely continue to cooperate in the future, so he is very willing to further enhance the relationship between the two parties.
Lu Xi mentioned that if the timing is right, Nirvana Studio will be acquired directly to strengthen itself.
But Lu Chen is not willing to support his sister's idea for the time being, because he can see that Wang Changsheng's family has a deep affection for this studio and has spent a lot of effort in it.
So unless the other party proposes, he will not acquire Nirvana Studio.
When Lu Chen's studio really needs to grow, it's not a problem to hire someone to build a shed.
He didn't want to be the kind of shrewd businessman who calculated profit and loss in everything.
"Great, thank you Brother Lu Chen!"
Wang Hui immediately expressed his strong support, and said with a smile: "I eat fast food box lunches every day, and I almost vomit. I want to eat a big meal. I want to eat roast duck, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour fish... Ahhh!"
Wang Jing slapped him on the back of the head and glared at him—can you be more embarrassing
Wang Hui looked aggrieved.
Lu Chen smiled.
Wang Hui is a very simple technical nerd, without complicated thoughts, and he can say whatever he is used to with others.
In contrast, his sister Wang Jing pays more attention to details.
Wang Changsheng quickly said: "Mr. Lu, let me invite you for dinner tonight."
Nirvana studio has earned Lu Chen's money, and it is really embarrassing for Lu Chen to treat guests to dinner!
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Manager Wang, don't be polite, everyone is really working hard, so I must invite you!"
At Lu Chen's insistence, he invited this dinner.
Everyone left the studio together.
Jinghua Hotel is next to the Blue Sky Creative Park, and it takes only 10 minutes to walk there.
Lu Chen booked a large box in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
After being seated, Lu Chen handed the menu to Wang Hui, and said with a smile, "Come and order, you can order whatever you like, don't be polite to me, this album can be successfully produced, you are the first to contribute!"
Wang Hui happily accepted it, and said, "Brother Lu Chen, I'm polite to others, but I'm really rude to you. You are now a wealthy family, and you can earn more than one million yuan by participating in the talent show. My elder sister admires you very much! "
Sitting next to him, Wang Jingqiao blushed and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wang Hui stuck out his tongue and hurriedly ordered.
After ordering, the food and wine were served quickly.
Lu Chen poured himself a full glass of beer, raised his glass and said with a smile, "I would like to respect everyone for this glass first, thank you for your hard work, and helped me complete an excellent album, thank you!"
He drank it all in one gulp, and Wang Hui and others immediately applauded.
Except for Wang Changsheng, all the others present were young people of similar age. Everyone liked music and had a lot of common topics with each other, so the atmosphere at the banquet quickly became lively.
Halfway through the drink, Lu Chen's cell phone rang.
Lu Chen took it out and took a look, the caller information displayed on the screen made his eyes light up!
