After Li Yan made his decision, he asked seriously: "What is your friend's name and what is his work? I will discuss it with the crew later."

"Her name is Chuan Ma, and she is the only member of the Five Bands."

Hearing Nian Yufei's words, Li Yan felt a little speechless. Since it was called a band, but there was only one person? "Well, to be honest, I haven't heard of it. Some time ago, I learned about some movie soundtracks and watched it.

I looked at the information about movie soundtracks and movie songs of previous Academy Awards. The only ones that impressed me were Jin Peida and Chen Guangrong, except for Luo Dacai and Huang Shuang. I have never heard of the "one-man band" you mentioned.

Nian Yufei was not embarrassed, but gave a serious introduction. It was obvious that she respected this person. "This is a personal music group. It is said to be a group, but it is actually just her. Initially, she published it at her own expense.

For her first English record, she took care of the lead vocals, composition, lyrics, arrangement, playing, recording, production and production. Then she sent the record to an independent label in Spain and got a record contract. Until now, she

She has released more than a dozen records, mostly in English, and has also participated in tours abroad. However, many of them are published by her personally, and she also rents venues for small concerts in Hong Kong."

Li Yan was speechless again. These days, if a young singer can hold back a word or a song, he or she will be known as a musical talent or a creative genius. They appear to be powerful. One person can do the lead vocals, composition, lyrics, and arrangement.

Composing, playing, recording, producing and even doing the work! This reminded him of Professor Li who was responsible for writing, proofreading, editing, typesetting and designing all by himself.

"Sounds awesome, why not become famous?

"It's not mainstream enough and has no entertainment value. She once said that she is not alternative or a musical ideal, but the record company is not her choice. Maybe in the eyes of the record company, she has no value and is not the type they need. They

Maybe you need someone with a more outstanding appearance, or someone with star charm, but you don't necessarily need someone who can play and sing by himself. It will be easier to achieve your goal by cultivating a new person like a blank sheet of paper.

Therefore, it is not that she deliberately keeps a low profile and never appears in the media. It is because without the support of a big company, she naturally has no chance. But she is originally engaged in independent music. Even if she is not signed to a record company, she can still release records on her own.

, so just stick to it.

By the way, didn’t you say you’ve seen the film songs from the Academy Awards? In addition to making English records, Diao Ming has also made many commercial songs, as well as the theme song for the McDull movie. Zhenzhong composed "McDull and the Pineapple Oil Prince"

The song she produced won the Best Original Film Song at the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards. The Cantonese version and the Mandarin children's version theme song of "McDull Dang Dang Dang" were also sung and composed by her, and were also shortlisted.

Original song for the 29th Academy Awards."

Nian Yufei was always a little embarrassed in front of Li Yan and never talked much. This time, she said a lot to promote her friend.

Hearing this, Li Yan always had a general impression. "Hey, I understand, I haven't seen any McDull, but being able to be shortlisted and get original film songs in Hong Kong should still have some ability. Being able to be a

It shouldn't be a problem for someone who can make a record to score a movie. I'll discuss contacting the producer and see if he can find someone to score the movie."

"Yeah. Thank you.

Li Yan hung up the phone and dialed Qiao Pan's mobile phone.

"Mr. Li, do you have any questions? Qiao Pan was still very busy, so he asked directly without being polite to him.

"Old Qiao, have we finalized the soundtrack, theme song, etc. for this movie?

Li Yan always puts Qiao Pan in charge of specific matters in the crew. Asking about it this time also made Qiao Pan aware of his importance. "To be honest," with our funds, it is not enough to find big-name musicians.

.And big-name musicians are also full of work, so they have to make reservations in advance. We are just an urban romance film, and we don’t seek to leave a classic theme song that will be handed down from generation to generation.”

Li Yan interrupted him: "Just tell me, have you finalized the candidate now?"

"Not yet, but I have many friends in this field. I can find someone to do it at any time. The effect will not be bad, but it is not a big name." At this point, Qiao Pan reacted again, "Mr. Li, do you have any candidates?"

?”

"Yes, I have a friend who contacted me to see if we can find a soundtrack. If not, we can also ask them to do it."

Qiao Pan is relatively worried about Li Yan's candidates! It's not that he is worried about his taste, but that Li Yan is not very expert after all. The musicians he knows must be relatively well-known, no matter how cheap they are.

Musicians are expensive.

"Who is it? Can you tell me?"

"Two" is a team with only one member. She can handle all aspects of a record by herself and has released more than a dozen records."

Hearing this, Qiao Pan was relieved. He had never heard of someone who was so awesome. He must be an independent musician, and he definitely wouldn't be a big-name musician. "It seems that he has some ability, but what works have he released?

Xun Kou Yang….o… A different experience at Yushu Bar!

...I have more than a dozen records. None of them are famous."

"Some of them are sold abroad, and she produced them herself. Due to issues such as funding channels, they are only sold in a small area in Hong Kong. The more famous one is why the theme song for the McDull movie has been shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Awards several times. One of them won

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Song for a Film."

"Okay, I'm sure. Where's the other one?"

"The other one is given for free. Have you heard of a young pianist named Nian Yufei? I know that she has held concerts in many places, and the tickets are very popular. She is not very popular, so she said it's okay

Help with piano repertoire for free.”

Qiao Pan immediately applauded: "This is good! I have heard of this. Although it is not popular enough, it is more famous than the previous one. After all, the main market for our movies is the mainland. Hehe, the key is that it is free. Can we just have this for free?"

Li Yan really admired his wretchedness: "In my day, people buy one and get one free, but you only want free gifts! You are really thick-skinned."

"Haha, it's a joke, it's a joke, one dollar can have two effects, I have no problem. You ask her to contact me with specific requirements, and I'll ask the director to tell her, and I'll discuss the cost and time with her."

"Um,"

After talking to him, Li Yan gave Qiao Pan's phone number to Nian Yufei and asked her to contact Qiao Pan.

And he himself couldn't just do it for favors, so he searched online for the works of this one-man band to listen to, including in English and Cantonese, and then also searched for the awards video of the 24th Academy Awards, and directly

Look at her live performance and the part where she won the award. Although she is a capable person, she is not ugly. She is a pretty good short girl. Of course, she should be a woman now.

However, what this one and only Cheng Diao said after winning the award made Li Yan gasp a little. Whether it is the best film score or the best original film song, some big names are nominated every year. When he wins the award, he also expresses his gratitude.

This, thank you for that, and she simply thanked the director of McDull, and specifically said: I will not increase the price even if I win the award, and everyone is welcome to find work with me.

This is somewhat bitter. Independent musicians are not only free, romantic and unrestrained, but they also have the pressure to make a living.

He picked up his cell phone and wanted to call Qiao Pan to ask him not to lower the price too harshly. But he felt that this was not good. Qiao Pan also had his own pressure. He lowered the price to save money. He was not only responsible for investors, but also

More money can be invested in film production!

Reality is just that, everyone has their own pressure.

Li Yan was going to call Nian Yufei again. No matter what the price Qiao Pan asked, he was going to promise a bonus personally as an investor. He was not short of money. Even for official business, he had promised an actress from Qiao Pan.

There, he got a kickback of 10,000 yuan, which can be considered to be used on the movie!

At this time, Nian Yufei called first.

"Brother Li Yan, thank you. I have given my friend the phone number and my suggestions. She promised that if the negotiation is successful, she will write a piece of music for me to play. However, there is one more thing I want to do.

Need your help

"Say it! I also have something I want you to do. You tell me first."

"It's like this. She is not a big star. When she releases records or holds concerts, she can only break even or even make a loss in many cases, because no matter what kind of situation, she has to advance money at her own expense first, and then recover the costs.

It's not that easy.

So sometimes she still has to go to the library to work. I have thought about helping her, but I play classical music. Even if I want to invite her to be a guest, it is not appropriate. And she won’t help directly.

Agree. So,,

I want to say that this time I participated with her. And because of my status as a friend, I didn’t charge any fees. But you also felt embarrassed, so after the work came out, you gave us a small bonus privately. Of course, I will use the money.

You just want to give it to us in your name, okay?"

It was so strange that Nian Yufei said such words in a hurry, Li Yan couldn't help but laugh, since she and him coincided with each other! And from the tone of her words, she must have thought about it in her heart, and practiced it several times before she dared to follow him.

he said.

"Of course, no problem! Do you know what I just asked you to do? I just want to give her a bonus! Because the producer of my movie is a bit stingy, but he also wants to make the movie a good one.

So I guessed that the price might be lowered hard and not too much money would be given. So I want to give her another 10,000 yuan bonus, hoping that she can do a good job with her heart."

Nian Yufei breathed a sigh of relief: "You don't need to pay. I'll give you two hundred thousand first, and then how about you give each of us one hundred thousand?"

"No, yours is too fake. Although this time it is a whole movie soundtrack, not a song, but the working time is only two months at most. I don't know how much they will talk about, but it will definitely not be too high, 10,000

It’s almost the same. Two hundred thousand is too fake! I’ll give her 10,000, and you can give yourself 10,000!” There are only two chapters today, keep working hard tomorrow! It’s the middle of the month, and friends who have a second monthly ticket, please vote for it.
