Entertaining Children

  Chapter 526 release of pure music album

  After confirming Xiao Yao as the new host to succeed Zhao Lixun, the recording of the first and third episodes of the "Singer" program that Xiao Yao participated in has also been completed.

  The singers who have finished recording will return to the hotel to rest, and each return to their place the next day to prepare for the next stage of singing. At this time next week, everyone will gather here again for the next stage of program recording.

  For convenience, the program group tries to arrange the singers in the same hotel. Before the show was recorded, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao and his son did not meet in advance in accordance with the requirements of the show group because they wanted to keep Xiao Yao’s identity secret. But now that the show is over, there is no need for confidentiality and the two people live in the same hotel. The father and son who haven't seen each other for a while will naturally get together to chat.

   Both father and son are singers. Apart from talking about some recent trivial matters, they also care about each other's body. The most talked about is definitely music. However, since the two are currently participating in the same show, they are considered competitors, so in Xiao Siqi's hotel room, the two sitting on the sofa chatting very tacitly did not inquire about the song that the other party wanted to perform in the next show.

"Take the second place in the gym competition. This is the best result in the history of the "Singer" program. It seems that my recommendation is really correct." I will not talk about the songs to be sung in the next issue. I have already sung them today. The song can be talked about. Xiao Siqi also took the opportunity to ask Xiao Yao's plan for the song tonight, "Your song today is very special, and the live effect is also very good. Do you plan to follow the official song? The studio version?"

"Not yet." Xiao Yao shook his head. "Actually, I have already recorded the studio version myself, but I didn't plan to send it out immediately. I don't know how many episodes of this show will be recorded. I can't publish it every other week. A single? Or wait until the show is over."

"That's right." Xiao Siqi nodded and said, "You have a lot of new original songs after the release of your first original album, and the number of songs from the second album is not less than a few. I originally planned to collect it first. There are ten songs to help you release your second original album. Since you want to wait until the show is fully recorded, I think it's okay. We can pick one at that time and try to form an album with a unified music style. "

"It's hard for me," Xiao Yao smiled. "Before I participated in the show, I told Director Tao that the original songs I participated in the show had various musical styles. Even if I add previous songs, I'm afraid It is also difficult to make an album with a unified style. It is estimated that the style of the second album should be the same as that of the first album, which is quite mixed."

   "You..." Xiao Siqi pointed at Xiao Yao, and sighed speechlessly, "Well, please be as you please. I think you are like this, I am afraid I don't care much about those music awards, right?"

"I care about it, I just don't want to write specifically for the sake of winning. My music style is inherently mixed, why should I restrict my creation for the sake of the album's musical style? I think that is a bit of a wrongdoing. Xiao Yao said, "The best album is affirmative, and the best song is also affirmative. Why bother to just stare at the former. Besides, as long as the quality is high enough, the miscellaneous album is not impossible to win the award."

"Go ahead, let's go," Xiao Siqi waved his hand. "You can do whatever you want. Anyway, it is your own business, and you have always done well, so you can control it yourself. I never restrict what you do. , Not to mention your creation, just to give you some suggestions."

   "I understand, as your son, I have always felt free and happy!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

   "Okay, don't flatter, go back to rest early if you have nothing to do." Xiao Siqi smiled, "You are in Shencheng alone, pay more attention to your health." Tomorrow morning, the father and son will go back to Yanjing and Shencheng separately.

   "I haven't finished my business yet, why did you drive me away?" Xiao Yao smiled.

  "What else do you have?" The daily routine is also talked about, the music is also said, and what should be ordered is also ordered, Xiao Siqi said strangely, "Aren't you going to make a moth again?"

   "You are right," Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said, "I want to discuss with you about the album. Is this a trouble?"

   "When you release an album, didn't you just say you wait until the show is over?" Xiao Siqi was even more strange.

   "That is my original song album." Xiao Yao said, "I want to discuss with you a pure music album."

  "Pure music album? Yours?" Xiao Siqi asked.

   "That could be someone else's?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Okay, pure music albums have not been released in our studio, but it is not impossible to release them." Xiao Siqi came to be interested, "Tell me in detail."

"It's like this," Xiao Yao said. "Today, when I was waiting for rehearsal during the day, I was bored and played guitar in the lounge. Later, I had a joke with the agent on the show, and she asked me to play specifically. I wrote guitar songs for her, and I played so few of them, and suddenly I realized that I had written a lot of pure music over the years. It happened that I was short of money recently and planned to release an original pure music album."

"Why are you short of money again? Didn't you make money for your short movie because you sold the right to broadcast it online? I heard that you even gave gifts to your grandfather and your mother, and red envelopes to Cheng Xi." Xiao Siqi first cared about it. Reflecting on Xiao Yao's financial situation, "You didn't come to this show for the appearance fee, right? If you really don't have any money, just tell us, you still have to pay Fang and Pei Minyi and the others, don't make it impossible to eat." Xiao Yao applied for an ID card at the age of 16, and became financially independent once he had his own bank account. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying still don’t really know what Xiao Yao’s economic situation is.

"Not to that level!" Xiao Yao said helplessly, "Lack of money does not mean financial difficulties. I have a worry-free life now. Don't worry. You can rest assured. I'm just planning a relatively large project and want to prepare as much as possible. It’s all about the funds. When did you see my endorsements from other brands? That’s when I was in real financial difficulties. Do you think I have an ad endorsement on me now?"

   "Yes, I'm surprised when it comes to this." Xiao Siqi said, "You said your reputation is not small, why don't you accept an ad endorsement? That's the fastest way to get money."

   "I don't like the low-grade ones, and the high-grade ones don't like me." Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Huh?" Xiao Siqi said, "I still say that you have even promoted the endorsements of foreign first-line brands, how high grade do you want?"

"Okay," Xiao Yao finally told the truth, "I'm afraid of trouble. Endorsements generally stipulate how many ads to shoot and how many commercial activities there are. I don't want to tie myself up. You know, I have an idea now. Yes, who knows if there will be a conflict. Just shooting an advertisement, I think it is boring. Besides, your son is already the boss, and it is not that there is no way to make money, such as an album or something. By the way, let's I'm off topic, telling about pure music albums, how can I talk about advertising endorsements for a long time."

"Fine, you love to pick it up, anyway, your mom and I don't cost you a penny." Xiao Yao waved his hand, "Or about the album. Do you want to release an original guitar album? All play by themselves."

   "Yes, but not all." Xiao Yao said, "The tunes are all original, and I played them by myself, but not one, but three!" Xiao Yao raised three fingers as he said.

   "What, three at once?" Xiao Siqi stared, "You wrote more than 30 pure guitar songs?"

"Not so much." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head. "A guitar song album, ten songs. A piano song album, not only ten songs. There is also a miscellaneous album, which is the ocarina, hand disc, and saxophone. The songs of other instruments like wind add up to a dozen or so songs, and they can be put together to make an album."

  "Have you written so much pure music in the past few years?" Xiao Siqi asked incredulously.

   "Well, almost." Xiao Yao nodded.

For   guitar songs, there were already about ten songs played outside Chambers Conservatory when I went to see Sun Tingting last summer. Although those songs were not all pure guitar songs in the previous life, there are no songs like "Hotel California" in this world, and it is okay to insist that it is a guitar song. If you want to sing songs like "Hotel California" in the future, you can say that they are based on the words filled in by the song. Anyway, in this world, the copyright belongs to your own, and it is not what you say.

  As for piano music, Xiao Yao remembers more previous classics. Even if he sold a few pieces to American pianists through Betty Bellett under the name of XY, it did not affect Xiao Yao's inclusion of those classic piano pieces in his album. Xiao Yao certainly couldn't sell the copyright of the classic songs of the previous life all at once, and the original author's right to publish and distribute was retained. Even if someone finds out that those songs have appeared under the name of XY, the big deal is to disclose his identity of XY. At this age, Xiao Yao would not mind disclosing his identity a long time ago, but he didn’t want to be too deliberate and didn’t encounter it. It's just the right time.

  The rest is the music for instruments such as ocarina, hand disc and saxophone. Although Xiao Yao doesn’t remember many classics from previous lives, it should be possible to add them together and put together a dozen or so tunes to make a compilation. If it doesn’t work, Xiao Yao even plans to use traditional Chinese instrument erhu tunes or flutes. Qulai makes up the number.

  "Are all the official versions recorded?" Xiao Siqi asked concerned.

"Not yet, but the tunes are all ready-made, and they are all instruments that I know, and there is no need to sing, and it is easy to record." Xiao Yao said, "After I go back, I will record the official version of the recording studio as soon as possible. Here you are, you are ready to find someone to make physical discs and contact music websites for online sales. It doesn’t matter if you announce it or not. Anyway, I definitely don’t have time to run the promotion. These are all my own songs that I wrote and played by myself. The recording equipment is also readily available, and the cost is so low that it is almost negligible. You can make a profit when you sell it. It doesn't matter if you just let it sit there and wait for the market to ferment."

"Then you have to give me an approximate time, otherwise how can I arrange it?" Xiao Siqi said, "How long can you give me the official version of the recorded sound? Also, will this affect the preparation of "Singer" the match of?"

"I'll arrange the time." Xiao Yao thought about it for a while, "Well, let's release the album of guitar songs first. Today they recorded all the songs I played when they were recording the highlights. No matter what. Editing, this section will definitely keep some. We strive to release this album of guitar songs after this program is broadcast, and we can use this program to make some publicity. The program recorded today will be broadcast in two weeks, and I will be within ten days Give you the official version of the ten guitar songs, and leave a few days for you to arrange the release.

  As for the other two albums, I have recorded the official sound sources of the other two albums at the speed of ten songs in half a month and handed them to you. The piano is probably no play, but the ocarina, hand discs, and saxophone can all be taken to the lounge. I see if there is a chance to play these instruments in the lounge again, and depending on the situation, I will arrange the album release time. Is this okay? ? "

"Of course." Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "Speaking of which you don't take endorsement ads, but you always advertise yourself through other people's programs. I read the express book you participated in, and it contains your personal clothing. The brand’s advertisement is also the advertisement of your short film. I heard that your advertisement didn’t cost anything, and it made people willing to do it. You guy, are you too smart?"

"I traded short films for internet broadcasting rights. In order to add effects to their programs, I designed the plots of the programs and integrated them in cleverly in order to increase the effects of their programs. It's just that I didn't spend any money. How can I say that it didn't cost any money? Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Your son has a lot of skills, and he doesn't need money to solve everything. It's like playing the guitar in the lounge today. I played the guitar for more than half an hour. They are all original songs. You let the show The team cut all those out and tried to see if they were willing? I contributed something to them to enhance the effect of the program, and they helped us to publicize it by the way, a good thing for a win-win situation."

   "Okay, you have a lot of skills, great abilities, considerate and comprehensive, then do as you say!" Xiao Siqi smiled. If the son has the ability, he is naturally happy as a dad.

   "Then it's settled." Xiao Yao said.

   "Hmm!" Xiao Siqi nodded in confirmation, and then asked curiously, "By the way, what did you say about preparing for a big project, what are you doing?"

   "Confidentiality, you will naturally know when the time comes." Xiao Yao smiled and stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to rest. You should rest earlier too!" After that, Xiao Yao turned around and left.

   "This kid! Sell it again!" Xiao Siqi smiled helplessly.
