Chapter 80

TN: I’m still sick because of Chickenpox so the quality might be poorer than usual.

There are many music production companies in Beijing, and there are more small studios.

In Delong Building alone, there are many famous music production units in the industry, such as Tianzhai Workshop, Golden Disc Culture, Sunshine Records and so on. The competition between them is very fierce.

Although Lu Chen’s first choice for making a solo album was Tianzhai Workshop, but it is not the only option.

He didn’t expect that there would be a small studio to pull business in the hall of the Delong Building.

It’s really hard to do business right now!

While sighing, Lu Chen chatted with Wang Changsheng, the Nirvana Studio Manager, for a few minutes.

Wang Changsheng is somewhat determined to draw in customers for coming here. The Nirvana Studio has an independent recording studio and band. Its members include three graduates from Beijing Music, who can complete all the work of composing music until later stage.

The most important thing is that their prices are cheap.

Wang Changsheng said, “Our studio can guarantee the same production quality of Tianzhai Workshop’s D package with the price of only 100,000, an album works as long as 100,000!”

Wang Changsheng was certainly not a shrewd businessman. He was obviously nervous when he offered the price. He stared straight at Lu Chen. His hands involuntarily clenched into fists, as if he was worried about being mercilessly rejected by the latter.

But he said the previous sentence very confidently.

Moreover, he knew quite a lot about Tianzhai Workshop.

Lu Chen felt a little interested. The price of the Tianzhai Workshop’s D package is 250,000, and Wang Changsheng asked for 100,000. Obviously, there is still room for bargaining. There should be no problem cutting down some more.

But why does the other party guarantee the same quality?

Tianzhai Workshop’s recording studio alone is said to have cost millions, and their advanced facilities are among the best in the industry. Lu Chen does not believe that Nirvana Studio will have such a big investment. Otherwise, why is one of their managers trying to pull in business by himself?

And waiting for the rabbit1!

Lu Chen didn’t think he was the rabbit who hit the tree. He thought about it and said, “Manager Wang, I’m going to produce a solo album, but the quality requirements are very high. At present, my final choice is the Tianzhai Workshop, so I’m sorry.”

Tianzhai Workshop D package is not Lu Chen’s choice. If he wanted for something more cheaper, he can also choose E package.

Is it more reliable than an unfamous studio?

“That… Then I have really disturbed you. I’m sorry to waste your time.”

Wang Changsheng waved his hand and said, “I should be sorry, then… Goodbye.”

Lu Chen couldn’t help but smile.

He didn’t laugh, but felt that he was really not a businessman and that he didn’t understand the basic negotiation skills.

However, he has a bit of a good impression on Wang Changsheng.

Lu Chen stood up and took the initiative to reach out to the other party, “Manager Wang, if necessary, I will contact you again.”

“Good, good!”

Wang Changsheng got up in a hurry and shook hands with Lu Chen, “Thank you!”

Lu Chen nodded and left the teahouse.

Lu Chen paid the bill when he left – a pot of tea there was not cheap.

Wang Changsheng sat for a while longer. When he called in the waiter to pay the bill, he found that Lu Chen had already checked out. He ran out to chase Lu Chen, but where could he find the latter!

Lu Chen returned to his home and spent the afternoon sorting out the album songs.

An album contains ten songs. He had already finalized six songs: “You at The Same Table”, “Love in The Wind”, “The Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk”, “Cinderella”, “The Bright Times of Youth” and “Beauty”.

And now, he can add “Those Flowers” and “Ballad of Time”, the style of the eight songs is unified and classic enough.

This being the first album in his life, Lu Chen will never be ambiguous!

After careful consideration, “Once You” was added to the album list.

“Once You” is not a folk song, but a light rock style, but Lu Chen liked the song so much that he decided to use it as the ending song of the album. It was a small surprise.

It’s really extravagant if one thinks about it. Whether “You At The Same Table”, “Love In The Wind” or “Those Flowers” or even “Beauty”, any of this song is qualified to be promoted as the title song of an album.

Lu Chen put them all on the same album, feeling a bit of a waste.

To have the treasure of a world is so capricious!

As for the tenth song, Lu Chen has already thought about it.

This song is also a folk song, the same nostalgic style, and very nostalgic.

Just listen to it.

“…

The open space downstairs of my house is a cinema,

It is no longer seen on these summer nights.

Today’s children don’t know what they used to be,

The world that people used to indulge in the past.

When I grew up, I watched them show love,

I felt sad when they kissed,

Children play games under the screen,

Someone cried for her in the movie.

La…

There are no more open-air cinemas in the city,

I’ll never see the opposite of the screen again.

Are you still playing that game,

I can no longer see the star when I watch the movie.

La… ”

When Lu Chen finished singing this soothing, delicate and beautiful new song, the barrages in Lu Fei’s live broadcasting room surged like a tide.

“That’s very nice. Lu Fei is very talented!”

“Nostalgic, I like it!”

“It reminds me of when I was a child. The lyrics were so well written and the melodies were even better!”

“What’s the name of this song?”

“I urge you to sing it again. No, ten more times!”

“sing ten more times + 1!”

“……”

Lu Chen put down his guitar and said with a smile, “The name of this song is called the “Outdoor Cinema”. Singing this song in the live broadcast for the first time is to make up for the debt I owed to everyone during this period of time, and I hope you can enjoy it.”

He went home and attended the graduation ceremony, so the live broadcast was temporarily suspended for a few days.

When he started to broadcast again tonight, the online popularity was much lower, starting with only 300,000+.

Therefore, in addition to singing his new work for the first time, Lu Chen also has a good news to announce.

After a pause, he continued, “Another thing I’m going to tell you is that I’m going to rearrange all the songs I’ve created before, make a real album, and publish them online!”

“At that time, you are welcome to buy and download it!”

As soon as his voice fell, the live broadcasting room exploded!

“What? An album? Did I hear that right?!”

“Lu Fei is very powerful!”

“That’s great. I’m looking forward to it!”

“The anchor is the best, which website is your album on?”

“You don’t have to say anything else. I’ll let you know when I get all my friends and classmates to buy a genuine copy!”

“Yes, we support genuine copies!”

“The online album is 10 yuan a piece, the student party said no pressure, just eat less breakfast!”

“For those real tyrants, their breakfast costs 10 yuan.”

“but I prefer CD! ”

“CD +1!”

“CD +2!”

“CD +10 000!”

“…”

Along with the barrage came countless fish balls, as well as aircraft carriers sent by local tyrants!

This is the most direct way for his supporters to express their joy.

The atmosphere in the live broadcasting room became extremely warm, and his popularity has been rising steadily because of the appearance of the heavy rewards.

Although every Lu Chen’s live broadcast is recorded, and all the songs he sang could be found in the forum fish nest, the specially produced music album was a completely different matter.

So far, despite the water in hundreds of thousands of supporters, Lu Chen has a group of real fans who like Lu Chen’s live broadcast style, his original works, and nostalgic or sentimental folk songs.

In the days when they can’t see Lu Chen’s live broadcasts, they will go through the past videos and watch them over and over again, listen to his songs over and over again, and spare no effort to recommend them to others.

These fans are no longer simple fans, but “meals”, celebrity meals!

And they are also the ones who have the strongest reaction to Lu Chen’s upcoming album, and they most hope that he will be able to release CD at the same time.

What kind of album is an online album? CD is the real album!

Many “Lu Fei meals” said through the barrage that they would buy CD to support Lu Chen.

Their strong appeal was certainly seen by Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It’s harder to produce a CD album than an online album, and it’s easier to lose money – there are too few people buying CDs to listen to songs these days.

However, because of the enthusiasm and eagerness of his supporters, Lu Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

In fact, it is not impossible to produce online albums and CD albums at the same time.

His idea comes from the dream world, which seems to have never appeared in this world!

…….

And when Lu Chen communicated with his fans in the live broadcasting room, the first single of the Wandering Band of Light Rain Media also began the first wave of publicity and promotion on the Internet that night!
