Chapter 48 Asking the Childrens Choir to Record

After leaving Tong Fei's office, Fang Xing followed the director to the instructor's rest room of the training camp and met Liang Yusong.

Liang Yusong has a company in Donghai.

It was a record company he co-founded with an old friend, called Pine Stone Records.

The scale of Songshi Records cannot be compared with that of a large company like Chaoyin Culture, but it is still relatively well-known in Donghai.

Moreover, Songshi Records mainly produces music and is not on the same track as Chaoyin Culture, a company that manages idol artists.

Liang Yusong is a veteran music producer who served as music director at Asia Pacific Records in his early years.

After leaving Asia Pacific Records, he co-founded Pine Rock Records.

Because of Liang Yusong’s golden name, Songshi Records also has several first-tier and quasi-first-tier singers.

Songshi Records and Feifan Entertainment have always cooperated.

This time, Liang Yusong came over to check the music content of "Tomorrow's Star" for Tong Fei's sake.



After Fang Xing explained his intention.

Liang Yusong immediately agreed: "This is not difficult, I know the person in charge of the Haining Children's Chorus.

"However, since primary school students have to attend classes, it is impossible to perform live, so we can only invite them to come over and record."

"As long as I can record it, I can handle the rest myself." Fang Xing agreed quickly.

"Although it doesn't cost much, hiring a choir to record will still cost money. Are you going to pay for it yourself, or does the program team have a budget?" Liang Yusong made it clear in advance.

Hiring a children's choir to record is certainly much cheaper than hiring celebrities, but it still costs two to three thousand yuan.

Fang Xing is just a trainee and may not be able to get this money.

When Liang Yusong said this, he was looking at the director on the side.

The meaning is obvious, it is to help Fang Xing and push the bill to the program team.

The director often encounters this situation and replies: "I'll apply to the program team for a budget. This expenditure should be included in the stage budget."

As the director said this, he called the person in charge of the stage budget and quickly applied for the budget.

Liang Yusong then asked: "When do you plan to record? We can't record this in the program team, you have to go to my recording studio."

"Is it okay to start tomorrow? One day may not be enough."

There are only five days of rehearsal time, so naturally the sooner the better.

"Tomorrow is a bit urgent, so I can only try my best to arrange it. Do you have any music scores or demos? Send them to me first, and I will give it to the choir leader. If it can be arranged tomorrow, I will call you." Liang Yusong did not call.

Affirmative answer.

After all, you have to hire a children's choir, and you only have one day, so you may not be able to do it in time.

"I'll get it out today and send it to you before tonight. By the way, what about the expenses for using the recording studio?" Fang Jing asked.

Liang Yusong smiled heartily and said, "I'm helping you this time, but you must remember to owe me a favor."

"Okay, Teacher Liang will definitely help if needed in the future." Fang Xing agreed quickly.



At four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Fang Xing received a call from Liang Yusong.

"The Haining Chorus really likes your song, but time is a bit tight. The children in the choir only have two hours today. Come over first and record part of it today, and continue the rest tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Fang Xing agreed quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Xing immediately took a taxi to Liang Yusong's company.

When we arrived at Songshi Records, the Haining Children's Choir's bus also arrived.

A group of primary school students got off the bus chattering.

It is indeed a children's choir. Even if it is chirping and noisy, the sound is very nice, like a group of oriole birds.

After a little girl discovered Fang Xing, she ran over, raised her head and said, "I know you from TV. My mother likes you very much."

"Thank you." Fang Xing reached out and touched her head. He had already had four songs in the music industry, so he already had a certain degree of popularity.

The little girl quickly retracted her head and pouted, "Don't touch your head. It's up to you whether you grow taller or not."

Liang Yusong came down to pick him up in person. Since time was tight, he went directly into the recording studio without much politeness.

After working for more than two hours, it was half past six.

When it was time for the children in the choir to go home, they followed the choir teacher and took the bus to leave first.

Fang Xing continued to do post-production mixing and adjustments in the recording studio.

Liang Yusong stood aside, watching Fang Xing operate the recording equipment, his eyes full of surprise.

Originally, he was planning to help Fang Xing do the mixing himself, but Fang Xing stopped the job.



The children in the Haining Children's Chorus have strong learning abilities, but they still can't finish recording in one day.

The next day, Fang Xing went to Songshi Records again and recorded with the children from the Haining Choir all afternoon, finally completing the recording part.

However, the post-mixing work is more tedious.

Fang Xing was busy until after eight o'clock in the evening, and it was not finished yet, but he was almost done.

Seeing that the post-production work was half done, Liang Yusong said, "Just leave the rest to the sound mixer. It's too late and you haven't even eaten, right?"

"Would this be too much trouble?"

Fang Xing felt that he couldn't bear to use the other party's recording studio for free. It was better to finish the work himself.

Liang Yusong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, come with me and go out for a drink. Ask someone to send you the finished master tape tomorrow."

Fang Xing saw that he had said so, and it would be too unkind to refuse to agree.

So, the two found a bar called Blues, ordered some fruits and wine, and chatted leisurely.

The environment of Blues Clear Bar is very quiet, perfect for killing time.

Liang Yusong picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Fang Xing's glass, and said, "I'll drink a little, you can just drink water. We are all musicians. Understand this truth. There is nothing polite or impolite."

Drinking is bad for your voice, so singers who are pursuing a good voice don't drink.

Liang Yusong drank some wine, became more talkative, and asked: "I originally thought you wanted to stand on the stage and be a singer, but after watching your recording today, I feel that you can do it behind the scenes. Do you prefer the stage or do you prefer to be a singer?"

Behind the scenes?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fang Xing thought for a moment and said: "I have done both in front of and behind the scenes, there shouldn't be any conflict between the two, right?"

Liang Yusong laughed and said: "Young people are dishonest. How many people working behind the scenes originally wanted to be behind the scenes? They all couldn't become famous in front of the stage and were forced to work behind the scenes.

"However, your situation is different. You can work both on stage and behind the scenes, so I'm asking you this."

Fang Xing said with a smile: "I like singing, and I also like being behind the scenes. Making music behind the scenes is to record my emotions. Singing in front of the stage is to sing the recorded emotions to the world."

After hearing this, Liang Yusong nodded and said, "I understand when you say that. He is an all-round musician. No wonder you are unwilling to sign with Chaoyin Culture. Your talent cannot be fully utilized in Chaoyin Culture."

Chaoyin Culture operates idols and relies on the fan economy, and its music is contracted by production teams from other companies.

Artists in Chaoyin culture are actually assembly line products.

It gets popular quickly, but it also goes out of style quickly.

Therefore, entertainment companies like Chaoyin Culture will continue to look for new faces and push waves of fresh meat to fans.

Many people thought that the reason why Fang Xing did not want to sign a contract with Chaoyin Culture was because the contract had not been negotiated.

Only Liang Yusong understood it.

Fang Xing picked up the wine glass, touched the glass on Liang Yusong's table, and said, "I have to offer a toast to this, and use water instead of wine."

"Right? I guess you were right."

Liang Yusong burst out laughing, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Fang Xing put down his cup and glanced at the old musician.

After Liang Yusong put down his cup, he also glanced at Fang Xing.

The old man and the young man both guessed what the other was thinking.
