{MTL}The Reborn Music Superstar

ch 11- 15

Chapter 11:

MIKE is the music director of Constellation and the producer of all of Constellation's artists.

Generally speaking, a record company will only have one music director, and the director is responsible for everything related to music in the entire company, including the selection of singers, etc., which requires strong management skills. There will be many music producers, who are responsible for the style of the record, the singer's singing style, etc., different producers are responsible for different records, and some singers even have different producers for each record.

Like Guo Peiwen, he started as a producer of Lu Nan, and later Lu Nan became popular, and the company recognized his ability, and then he was promoted to director, several of his brothers are still producers, and it can be said that at present, it can be said that Guo Peiwen's face acts, and the power of the director is very great. Many of Vux's young singers who have just debuted are very stammering with Guo Peiwen, and they all need Guo Peiwen to nod their records, and they are not popular now, they have no status, so naturally they have no way to designate a producer, so they can only rely on Guo Peiwen to distribute them.

But Xingcai is poor, Li Jun is reluctant to invite other producers, so he lets MIKE work part-time, the overall situation and small things in the company's music are decided by MIKE, anyway, Xingcai has few singers, and none of them are very famous.

Ye Ze got out of the taxi and went straight to the 17th floor of the building, and after entering the company, he first greeted the girl Lisa at the front desk, because Ye Ze had 'amnesia', and Lisa told Ye Ze her name again last time.

"You're here, go directly to the director's office, he's waiting for you, next door to the boss's office." Lisa was apparently told by MIKE.

"Superintendent? Who is it? Ye Ze didn't know anything about the internal situation of the company.

"Oh, you forgot, it's MIKE." Lisa explained.

Ye Ze suddenly realized that it was the director who called him personally, and he was a little excited.

"Knock knock!" Ye Ze knocked on the door of MIKE's office.

"Please come in!" The people inside were pleasantly sounding.

Ye Ze pushed the door and went in, and saw a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner sitting inside, probably in his thirties, looking at him with a smile.

YES, MIKE IS AN AMERICAN, BUT HE LIKES CHINA VERY MUCH, SO HE Chinese SAID IT WELL, ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES THE EXPRESSION CAN BE A LITTLE WEIRD, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PHONE CALL HE JUST MADE WITH YE ZE, ORDINARY Chinese PEOPLE WOULDN'T SAY THAT IN REAL LIFE, HOW MEATY.

The records produced by MIKE are a bit westernized, especially the arrangement and singer's shape, which are a little bit out of line with the domestic market, but the whole company has not found any problems, especially Li Jun, he thinks that MIKE's music concept is very foreign and very high, and he feels that their small company with such music has improved the grade by several levels!

"Hello Director." Ye Ze greeted with a smile.

"Hello Ozawa, please be seated." MIKE SAT DOWN ON THE SINGLE COUCH AND TOOK A PLEASE.

Ye Ze sat on the sofa opposite MIKE, he was slightly nervous.

"Relax, I think we'll have a nice conversation." MIKE SAW YE ZE'S NERVOUSNESS, AND HE PLAYED INSIDE TO LET PEOPLE BRING IN TWO CUPS OF COFFEE.

After the secretary who delivered the coffee went out, the two began to get to the point.

"Your tunes are very well written!" MIKE WAS EXCITED, "I'VE HEARD YOUR SONGS BEFORE, BUT IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU HAVE NOW, WHAT INSPIRED YOU?"

Ye Ze shrugged his shoulders, and then said about his amnesia.

MIKE was shocked when he heard this: "Oh my god! What a misfortune!
WHEN
YE ZEZHENG WANTED TO SAY THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER, HE HEARD MIKE SAY AGAIN: "BUT I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A GOOD SAYING IN CHINA, THE HEAVENS WILL DESCEND ON THE PEOPLE, AND THEY MUST FIRST SUFFER THEIR MINDS, STRAIN THEIR MUSCLES AND BONES, AND STARVE THEIR BODIES AND SKIN." That's what you're talking about, right? You're amazing!

Ye Ze: "......" He didn't know what to say, he was not happy, he was not sad, this foreigner's way of comforting people was really different.

MIKE TOOK OUT THE COMPUTER AND PUT IT ON THE LOW TABLE BETWEEN THE TWO, AND YE ZE SAW THAT THE FOLDER HE CLICKED ON WAS THE DEMOS HE HAD MADE.

"I've heard them all, it's great, you wrote it for your band?" MIKE RESTED HIS ELBOWS ON THE ARMRESTS OF THE COUCH AND FOLDED HIS HANDS.

Ye Ze shook his head: "I don't have any impression of the past, I wrote it for myself."

"Wrote it for yourself?" MIKE WONDERED, "YOU CAN STILL SING?" "He never knew Ye Xiaoze could sing, he's a guitarist, isn't he?

Not only did MIKE not know, but the original owner of this body did not know, Ye Xiaoze had never sung, he was only interested in musical instruments and composition.

Ye Ze nodded and said, "I've been practicing singing recently, and I have all five notes, I should be able to sing these songs."
He didn't pay attention
to writing music in the hospital before, he only wrote according to his own inspiration, first, he didn't expect that he was used to writing for Lu Nan before, and he always used the piano instead of his own voice; The second is that the injury was not well at that time, and it was not very good to sing.

Later, after being discharged from the hospital, Ye Ze thought of this, he couldn't write blindly, he had to write songs that fit his voice, and he couldn't write songs beyond the capacity of his voice, so singing it would definitely be counterproductive. The recording studio can be repaired, but he can't rely on the recording studio for the rest of his life, isn't it all over when he sings?

As for the idea of 'if you can't sing it yourself, then sing it for others', Ye Ze doesn't have it for the time being, he doesn't want to be behind the scenes, he wants to perform on stage by himself, and writing songs for others is something that he only has the heart to do after becoming famous, and it is the icing on the cake.

After singing a few times with the DEMO at home, Ye Ze found that this body actually had a super good voice, with a clear voice and a wide vocal range, he tried to sing a few famous difficult songs, and found that they could be easily controlled.

Although it is not a magnetic voice, Ye Ze is very satisfied, this type of voice can match any genre, and he doesn't pick songs, so his limitations in writing songs are small. It's not good to be like Lu Nan, Lu Nan can only sing gentle love songs, if you ask him to sing a rap or a high octave, he will absolutely collapse.

The voice is a congenital condition, and the acquired depends on the singer's appeal, not the pitch, or the treble can go up, and the bass can be called good singing, that is, good singing skills and good skills. Can you become a god just by singing well? How is that possible. Most of those people are professors at conservatories, and their skills are not too good, but you can let them release records and try them to see how many people will like them.

Of course, singers with bad singing skills and poor infectious power can also become gods, it depends on the company's packaging, right to the appetite of the market, with the blessing of a few catchy divine comedies, and when it comes to a good time, it will be very promising.

Let's count forward, there are few kings and queens who can create their own creations, there are only a handful of top singing skills, and there are very few people with strong appeal, part of their success is good luck, meet good songs, and the other part is packaging, talent, appearance, personal characteristics or something, there are many directions that can be packaged.

The innate voice was brought by the original owner, and the acquired one depended on Ye Ze himself, and after a few days of practice, he was very sure that he could combine the two well.

HEARING YE ZE SAY THIS, MIKE WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED, HE CLICKED ON ONE OF THE DEMOS: "YOU SING THIS SONG AND TRY IT." This is his favorite of several songs, and the whole song is very high-pitched, which is actually very suitable for female singers to sing.

Ye Ze has no stage fright, and he will not have stage fright, because he knows that this is his chance to start over, and he must take advantage of it.
Soon after the
music started, Ye Ze's clear voice also floated throughout the room, and the lyrics were written by himself, so he knew it by heart, so he could sing it with his eyes closed.

A SONG THAT LASTED MORE THAN THREE MINUTES, MIKE LISTENED CAREFULLY TO THE END.

"Bang Bang!" WHEN THE MUSIC STOPPED, MIKE COULDN'T HELP BUT APPLAUD, "YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING!"

Don't talk about skills, just listen to the voice, there are not many male voices with such a clear voice, and the average female singer has such a high voice. And although Ye Ze's tone is high, it is not feminine at all, and MIKE is completely fascinated.

"You're so surprised, what have you done in the past few years, you shouldn't be standing behind, your voice is the weapon!" MIKE WAS THRILLED.

"Thanks for the compliment." Ye Ze was a little embarrassed, he felt that he still needed to be strengthened, this voice still needed to be practiced well, and his skills were not good enough.

"No, no, no! I'm not complimenting you at all, I'm just telling the truth! "MIKE HAS BEEN WITH STAR FOR SO MANY YEARS, AND IT IS ONLY TODAY THAT HE HAS A FEELING OF DIGGING FOR TREASURE.

Oh！ Thank God it was amazing to have this person amnesia!

After that, the two discussed the details of these songs, the main theme and arrangement had to be changed, and MIKE put forward a lot of suggestions for revision, he has been a music producer for so many years, and he still has some ability, and gave Ye Ze a lot of good ideas.

The lyrics have not changed, the most important thing is that MIKE has not changed the level of Chinese lyrics, he can speak Chinese, but his comprehension ability is really a mess, many words are used indiscriminately, and he can't understand the artistic conception of many Chinese lyrics at all.

"You revise it according to the results of our discussion, and if there are no problems, we will be able to enter the recording studio soon." MIKE IS HOPEFUL FOR THE FUTURE.

Ye Ze nodded: "I will revise it carefully, and contact you as soon as the correction is completed." "

"OK！"

"But I have one more question to ask." This is a question that Ye Ze has wanted to ask for a long time.

"What？"

"It's a copyright issue." Ye Ze said, "I've seen the contract I signed before, my record contract and economic contract are all in Xingcai, but I haven't seen the copyright contract, who owned the copyright of the AC band's songs before?"

"Oh, it's all for the singer." "THE COMPANY IS JUST AN AGENT.

In fact, the main reason is that Xingcai is a small company, and the funds are not sufficient, and it is risky to buy out the copyright, so whether it is from the singer-songwriter or the ordinary composer, the music adopted is not a buyout.

Ye Ze breathed a sigh of relief, this is good news for him, he doesn't want to transfer the copyright of the song, fortunately, this company has no habit of buying out, otherwise Ye Xiaoze will be bad if he signed a contract to sell copyrights, and it will be very troublesome to change jobs in the future. Aux likes to buy copyrights, and they bought them from Lu Nan at the beginning, but Lu Nan didn't agree, and only gave Aux the right to act as an agent.

That's right, Ye Ze was already thinking about changing jobs before he started, he had seen a big company like Vux, and then he looked at Xingcai, he knew that such a small company would never be able to win a superstar, no matter how good a singer was, the company's resources were really too limited.
