Chapter 187 - A Meal Worth A Million Yuan
When Chen Fei'er left Flying Stone Records, she still rode Lu Chen’s car.
On this trip to Flying Stone Records, Lu Chen's harvest wasn't small.
First of all, Lu Chen has reached an agreement with Flying Stone Records. The other party will spare enough time producing the CDs of his alb.u.m "You Who Sat Next To Me", posters, USB disks and other peripheral products.
And in terms of price, Flying Stone Records also gave Lu Chen a special discount of 5%.
Don’t underestimate the discount of only 5%. It should be known that the profits from the ordering and distribution of Flying Stone Records was not high.
Especially the distribution of this work, they cooperate with Xinhua Book Company.
The money from this channel would basically be taken away by Xinhua Book Company.
In addition, Lin Zhijie asked Lu Chen to write two songs for MSN's alb.u.m, and asked him to co-produce[1] it.
The meaning of producing an alb.u.m is different from that of asking to write songs. The latter only needs to write a work, deliver the finished product, and get paid. At most, he would give advice on the melody and singing style, and he wouldn't need to worry about anything else.
A producer in the music industry was mainly responsible for the music production of records.
A music producer must have excellent music accomplishment and practical operation ability, rely on professional technology and experience to create the best sound effect for the record. This role was similar to a film director!
The task of a producer was to correct the mistakes made by musicians and singers in the early recording of the record in the recording studio, and guide the recording engineer in the later mixing of the record.
Therefore, a producer has a very important responsibility. The producer is responsible for the whole alb.u.m and has a high voice and decision-making power in the recording process of the singer’s alb.u.m.
Even if it was to lend a helping hand, it was rare for a big company like Flying Stone Records.
Because Lu Chen wasn't a member of Flying Stone Records, and Flying Stone Records itself has many talents in this field, such as Lin Zhijie himself. He has produced at least hundreds of records and has a lot of experience.
This undoubtedly reflects the importance that Flying Stone Records or, more accurately, Lin Zhijie attaches to Lu Chen.
Even Lu Chen didn't expect that the Music Director of Flying Stone Records would invite him to co-produce MSN’s debut alb.u.m. After all, he didn't have much qualification and experience in this respect.
If it was about experience, that is, Lu Chen himself just completed the alb.u.m “You Who Sat Next To Me” not long ago.
Of course, working as a producer was not for nothing. Two songs plus a.s.sisting with the production, Flying Stone Records' opening offer was 1 million!
This kind of price could invite the best songwriters in the industry.
Of course, Lu Chen agreed.
In addition to the generous remuneration, it was also important for him to acc.u.mulate relevant experience in this field.
In fact, Lu Chen didn't know that if he had not shocked Lin Zhijie’s opponents with the song “Woman Flower” that he wrote to Chen Fei'er, perhaps he might not have gotten this contract.
The stubbornness and pride of big companies wasn't something that could be shaken casually by any newcomer!
“Sister Fei…”
While driving, Lu Chen asked, “what’s the problem with Hu Xu just now?”
Previously in the monitoring room, when Lu Chen talked to Hu Xu, Chen Fei'er gave him a look.
Lu Chen understood the look, but he didn't understand the reason why Chen Fei'er hinted at him.
Hu Xu's reputation seemed to have been very good, he also looked like a very good person, and his speech and behavior were very good.
Chen Feier said with a smile, “Hu Xu is a person… How to say, it’s hard to tell what's really going on in his mind, and he has a very strong sense of purpose, but he hides it so well that most people can’t see it.”
“Just now, I was worried that you would be confused by his praise and that you might promised him if he asked something from you.”
