The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Climbing up the stairs, you can hear the sound of the iron stairs "Bangbang" under your feet. It took almost no effort to find the target on the second floor with ease.

"Fool".

Those words with a sense of ridicule hung on the door like this, turned around, and saw the name of the room behind him, "The Loser", which made Renly smile and withdraw his eyes. It seems that the booked room is not bad.

When he was about to open the door, he didn't want to, but the door opened first. Ren Li's footsteps stopped abruptly, and a face appeared at the door. At the same time, he was also frightened. Eyes, at such a close distance, you can even see the violently vibrating pupils.

The two of them couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and the sound of chatting in the open space downstairs was faintly heard in their ears. It was lively but not noisy. Such a scene is really a bit of joy. After a short silence, the other party burst out laughing, and the corners of Renly's mouth also traced an arc.

"If I didn't go to the wrong room, it also means that you are my recording engineer?" Renly responded with a smile as his eyes crossed.

The other party's eyes flickered slightly, the bright smile was closed, and he nodded lightly, "If George Slender is not lying, then indeed, I am your recording engineer."

It wasn't who Herbert Jones was standing in front of him.

It was Herbert who completed the recording of the two singles "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" for Renly in Los Angeles' City of Sounds. Although it was only a short collaboration, the two Personally, there were a lot of sparks in the studio at that time. After more than half a year, the two reunited again, and it was actually a recording studio, but the meeting place came from Los Angeles to New York.

It is speculated from the words that Herbert should have received an invitation from George to be in charge of the recording of this Renly album. Just why? Among the countless sound engineers, why did George choose Herbert? Could it be because of the previous collaboration between Herbert and Renly?

Ren Li was slightly surprised. Just as he was about to continue the conversation, he was interrupted by a voice behind him, "Hey, why are you all here?"

Turning his head and looking, George stopped, stood on the steps, and looked up at the two people with doubts on his face. Although he asked the two people, his eyes fell on Renly.

If it's Herbert, it's not uncommon to arrive at the studio early. As a sound engineer, the first job today is to work with the producer to complete the positioning of the album; but if it is Renly...

George also thought that Renly would maintain his usual casual and lazy style, arriving on time, and he was lucky not to be late - after all, Renly was working on the set, George knew nothing about it.

Renly noticed George's gaze, didn't hide it, didn't explain it, simply said, "An accident."

Faced with such an honest answer, George tilted his head, showing helplessness in his eyes, and shook his head gently.

Herbert, who was standing by the door, was impatient and cut into the conversation between the two of them aggressively, "Since everyone has arrived, let's start work now." That eager expression fully expressed his Be proactive, "Before that, I'll go downstairs and get a cup of coffee."

After speaking, without waiting for a response from the two of them, Herbert fully opened the door of the recording studio and trotted all the way downstairs, leaving only Renly and George left in place.

George took another step forward and walked the last two steps, "To be honest, how many surprises have you left?" Without any polite greetings, George opened the door of the recording studio and directly cut into today's theme, That cheerful look came out lightly from between the eyebrows, not bright, but extremely shining. "Twenty-seven? I don't think that's your limit."

Twenty-seven, this is a list of self-created tracks compiled by Renly, a total of twenty-seven.

For the production of an album, song selection is the first step in the Long March. The selection of songs that meet the artist's style and market demand is an important basis for the success of the album.

It would be a disaster to pick Justin Bieber's "baby" for Jason Majaz; or a maroon-5 "like Jagger" for Nora Jones "moves-like-jagger", the album's results are expected to be appalling.

This shows the importance of selection.

If it is a singer who cannot create, then the producer needs to select from the huge original music library of the distribution company. At this time, the producer with extensive network and deep background will prevail, because they have incomparable rich resources. Therefore, a producer with a strong network advantage is always more popular than a producer with outstanding ability.

But for those singers who can create by themselves, producers need to evaluate the songs currently created by the artists and select those excellent songs with commercial potential. Or a song that fits the singer's positioning and album style.

Of course, if the style or quality of the self-created track doesn't meet the album's requirements, the producer needs to go back to another path and contact the distribution company. Not all original singers can fill the entire album with their own creations; not all producers will give original singers the greatest freedom, let them do whatever they want, and make an experimental album with distinctive personality but no market value. .

After confirming an upcoming album, Renly put together a list of his own tracks and gave it to George.

For the production of an album, twenty-seven self-created tracks are not too many. In order to produce an album with ten tracks, the producer often selects more than fifty tracks, or even the Hundreds of songs; but unexpectedly, George is caught in a difficult choice - because every song is wonderful!

Even though George was mentally prepared, he became more and more frightened as he browsed through the twenty-seven tracks.

The maturity and wisdom revealed between the lyrics and the melody don't seem to be written by a 21-year-old young man at all. The experience accumulated over the years and the vicissitudes after the polishing of time have brought the beauty of the melody into full play. Incisively and vividly, and more importantly, the talent contained in it is even more impressive.

George always believed that Renly should be a singer, born to be a singer on stage.

As for the actors? That is simply an unprofessional job that wastes talent! After really flipping through the twenty-seven songs, George realized what kind of genius he had met. He couldn't imagine that such a talented singer would work tirelessly for his dream of being an actor. It's really... ridiculous.

Of the twenty-seven tracks, at least eighteen of them, George loves them very much, and they are all at the level of recording albums, and they are still top-level; but the problem is that if there are more than ten tracks on an album, the artist is actually at a disadvantage.

The specific reason is related to the royalty calculation of record companies and distribution companies. It is very complicated to explain, and even the insider is confused, but the simple summary is that the record company needs to pay two royalties for the album produced with the artist's own tracks. , one for the artist's royalties, and one for the album royalties that must be paid on each sale of each song.

The problem lies in the album royalties, because the royalties are paid one by one, and the more tracks, the more the royalties will naturally be. This is obviously not a good deal for the record company and the distribution company, so they require the artist to sign an agreement: the record company will only pay the album royalties for ten songs, and the artist will pay for the excess.

Therefore, the album tracks of original singers are generally controlled within ten.

What's more, making an album with 18 tracks is almost equal to two albums. As the cost rises, the sales price will naturally rise. Not only will this not increase sales, on the contrary, it will be too expensive to make ordinary people. The masses are discouraged, which in turn affects sales. The result is that more money is spent to make the album, and less money is made, which is a good example of the thankless.

In other words, to produce an album with more than ten songs, the artist, the record company, and the distribution company are all at a loss. Such a loss-making business, naturally no one wants to do it.

This also means that George has to choose, even if he chooses ten songs from the eighteen, he must give up eight, which is a kind of cruel torture.

Renly didn't know the sigh and shock in George's heart, so he shrugged lightly, "Let's talk after recording the first album." As for the future, he had no way of predicting it. "So, twenty-seven songs, is it enough or not enough? If it's not enough, I need to shoot a movie first to find inspiration."

"Enough. Of course it's enough!" George said hurriedly, lest Renly turn around at this moment, and the recording work would be pushed back again, "Actually, it exceeded expectations. I eliminated a batch of songs, but received It is not an easy job to continue to eliminate. You can also express your opinion.”

"I thought it was yours and Herbert's job," Renly said directly.

"Indeed." George nodded affirmatively, "but when most of the tracks meet the requirements, as a creator, you can create an album of your own style according to your own ideas."

For most original singers, this is difficult to reach the sky, let alone Renly is a rookie singer with no experience, which is even more incredible. For this album, George is full of confidence and full of expectations. It's been a long time, it's really been a long time, this feeling of excitement not only made him feel warm again, but also made him feel young again.

After three years of silence, George's life finally brightened up again.

"Where did we talk?" Herbert's voice burst in again suddenly, with steaming coffee in his hand, he pulled the chair rudely and directly, and sat down beside the sound console, Damakin Spreading his legs with knives, his hands resting on his knees, he looked at George and Renly with burning eyes, "My personal opinion, the core soul of this album is: Renly-Hall."
