Chapter 278 0278, Perfect World
After lunch, Yunfeng and Ji Yubei returned to the music studio.
In the office.
Two people, one facing the computer and the other facing the mobile phone.
Yunfeng was reading the contract forwarded by Ji Yubei.
Contracts like this one that buy out copyrights have fewer clauses, and you can find out if there is any trick by reading it once.
In fact, the copyrights of novels, comics, and songs do not have to be held in hand. If the price is right, they can be sold.
Whether it is held in hand or sold, the purpose is to make money.
It’s just that the former is for long-term operation, and the latter is a one-time deal.
Of course, it depends on the situation.
After confirming that there was no problem, Yunfeng signed the contract according to the electronic contract signing method, and then said: "Brother Ji, the contract and the song have been sent to your email."
Ji Yubei was still a little surprised that "Yunfeng made three million by writing a song in two hours", and said in a trance: "Oh, ok boss, I will send it to the outsourcing company right away."
Yunfeng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, wait and record a demo and send it together."
Some people may ask, why record a demo instead of recording it completely and send it?
This is not the time to be generous.
Three million is just the money for writing songs.
After all, he is also a well-known singer. If you want him to sing, you can, but you have to pay more!
Ji Yubei quickly got rid of the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind and asked: "Boss, what instruments do I need to prepare?"
Yunfeng thought about it and replied: "Get me a guitar, just record a demo, just let them listen to it."
Ji Yubei nodded and said: "Okay boss."
Come to the recording studio.
Ji Yubei turned on the equipment and debugged it.
Yunfeng was holding a guitar and tuning it.
A moment.
Ji Yubei said, "Boss, it's done."
Yunfeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's start. It's not too late. I have to catch the high-speed train back to Hangzhou."
While Yunfeng was in the recording studio to warm up his voice and find his feeling, Ji Yubei operated on his mobile phone, opened his mailbox, and quickly scanned the email Yunfeng had just sent.
However...
The lyrics of this song called "Perfect World" gave him a first impression that they were not very amazing, and there were several paragraphs of English in the middle.
He thought, the boss can't be at this level?
Then he used the translation function of his mobile phone to translate several paragraphs of English into Chinese, and then read them together.
So that's it!
The theme of the song called "Perfect World" written by the boss is love and freedom, and the world presented by the online game called "God's Domain" is free and unrestrained.
When Ji Yubei cast an admiring look at Yunfeng in the recording studio.
The sound of guitar sounded, and the singing followed.
"I don't know how many summers and autumns have passed since the sun set and the moon rose..."
It was the first time that Ji Yubei heard Yunfeng sing live.
This pitch...
This rhythm...
This singing skill...
He is a real talent, and there is no need for post-production sound adjustment.
Moreover, as soon as he opened his voice, he got goose bumps all over his body.
You know, this was only accompanied by a guitar. If it was accompanied by the accompaniment of the arrangement, I don't know how good it would sound.
Ji Yubei couldn't help but sigh.
Is this the strength of the legendary new generation's most promising singer-songwriter?
I am convinced!
"Okay, that's it." Even though it was just a demo, Yunfeng took it very seriously. He recorded it three times before he was satisfied. After coming out of the recording studio, he said to Ji Yubei, "Brother Ji, I'll trouble you with the rest."
Ji Yubei said hurriedly, "Boss, don't worry, it's all my job."
Yunfeng put down the guitar and said, "I may not come back to Shanghai until school starts. Brother Ji, please take care of the music studio."
Ji Yubei patted his chest and said, "Boss, don't worry, I'll live here."
It just so happened that the house they rented together was returned, and they haven't found a suitable house yet, so they can make do in the lounge of the music studio for a while.
Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly said to Yunfeng: "Boss, do we need to continue some of the previous business of our music studio?"
Yunfeng was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What business?"
Ji Yubei replied: "Just take some orders for writing songs, recording songs, and arranging music."
Yunfeng said "Oh" and asked: "If it's just you, which business can you handle?"
Ji Yubei said a little embarrassedly: "Recording songs..."
Yunfeng nodded slightly and said: "Well, if you can complete it, you can take it if you want. As for writing songs and arranging music..."
He paused and thought for a moment before continuing: "Let me see the orders over one million."
Ji Yubei responded with a "hmm", and then said: "Then, do you want to advertise?"
Yunfeng shook his head and said: "No advertising."
He set up a music studio mainly for his own convenience, and took orders because he wanted to make money now, but there was no need to advertise.
Immediately, he smiled and said, "Brother Ji, I will leave now. If you need anything, you can chat with me on WeChat or call me."
Ji Yubei nodded and said, "Boss, I will see you off."
Yunfeng waved his hand and said, "Why do you want to see me off? Just do your own thing."
He was not allowed to see me off, but he still did it.
It was just - watching him leave.
After Yunfeng left, Ji Yubei quickly threw himself into work.
He put the contract, songs and demo in an email and sent it to the outsourcing company.
Then, they called their person in charge.
After the call was connected, I heard the other party say: "Xiao Ji, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the contract?"
Ji Yubei said hurriedly: "No, no, Manager Luo, I just want to tell you that I have just sent the contract, songs and demo to your mailbox, please check it."
Manager Luo's voice increased a lot and said, "Xiao Ji, are you kidding me?"
I just told you this in the morning and you wrote the song in the afternoon? No joke.
Ji Yubei said quickly: "Manager Luo, how could I joke about this? It's really written."
Manager Luo said earnestly: "Xiao Ji, originally this order was for a senior songwriter, but I think the cooperation with your Philharmonic Music Studio is pretty good, so I just wanted to give you a chance. Don't cheat me." me."
Ji Yubei explained: "That's it, Manager Luo. In fact, our music studio has been dissolved. This order was completed by my new boss. You should know Yunfeng, right?"
"I know." Manager Luo reacted immediately and said, "Wait a minute, you didn't mean that your new boss is Yunfeng, right?"
Ji Yubei replied: "It's him."
Manager Luo didn’t quite believe it and confirmed again: “Did he write the song?”
Ji Yubei said seriously: "It's him."
Manager Luo was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will send the song to Party A later, but I want to make it clear that even if it is written by Yunfeng, it may not pass the acceptance test."
Ji Yubei said firmly: "I am very confident in the boss's song and it will definitely pass the acceptance test."
Manager Luo replied slowly: "I hope so."
————
Baoli Game Company is a large-scale game company in China. It currently operates the full 3D, turn-based game "Fantasy Westward Journey", the full 3D, real-time combat game "Heroes of the Song Dynasty", and the full 3D, shooting simulation game "Guild Wars" wait.
"God's Domain", an MMORPG online game, is a major project they are currently focusing on. They have invested a lot of money and time. Last year, they conducted a closed beta test and a small-scale closed beta test, and the next step is the public beta test.
at this time.
Baoli Games Company, the game development department of "God's Domain".
Project Director Sun Fusheng looked gloomy and asked, "Has the contract been signed?"
Jia Borun, the head of the music and sound effects department, stammered: "Sign, sign."
When Sun Fusheng heard this, he said angrily: "What should I say to you? How can something as important as the theme song be handed over to an outsourcing company?"
Jia Borun lowered his head, and the atmosphere seemed to have dropped to freezing point in an instant, and said weakly: "Director Sun, the soundtrack and sound effects of "God's Domain" are all from this outsourcing company, and their ability and efficiency are still guaranteed."
Sun Fusheng slapped his hand on the desk and snorted coldly: "Don't think that I don't know that you have a relationship with this outsourcing company. The five million yuan is for you to find well-known songwriters to write and popular singers to sing. , This can increase the topic of "God's Domain" and increase the attention. It's better for you to just think about how to put money in your own pocket!"
When Jia Borun heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly explained: "Director Sun, I guarantee with my head that everything is business, there is absolutely no personal emotion involved, and there is absolutely no greed for any funds. ”
Sun Fusheng frowned and pressed his temples gently, feeling his head hurt.
Jia Borun was sweating on his forehead. He was very nervous and did not dare to express his anger.
There was a sudden silence in the office.
a long time.
The creative director Xiong Zhaoxu on the side sighed and said: "Old Sun, since the matter has come to this, there is no use getting angry. The soundtrack and sound effects made by the outsourcing company Xiao Jia found for "God's Domain" are also good. The theme song is waiting for acceptance. When it comes to time, just be strict.”
Immediately, he looked at Jia Borun and said, "We can't be careless in the selection of singers."
Jia Borun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and promised: "It won't happen, it won't happen."
As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
At first glance, it was the boss of the outsourcing company, his brother-in-law, calling.
Just as he was about to hang up, he heard Sun Fusheng say in a deep voice: "Why don't you answer the call?"
Jia Borun pressed the answer button bravely, but if it didn't work, he just said a few perfunctory words.
The rather happy voice of my brother-in-law came from the other end of the phone: "Brother-in-law, I have some good news for you. The theme song for your game is ready. Guess who wrote it?"
Jia Borun scolded: "Guess what? I'm in a meeting. I'm hanging up."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law." The brother-in-law said hurriedly: "Why don't I just say it directly? Brother-in-law, have you ever heard of the person 'Yunfeng'?"
When Jia Borun heard this, his expression changed slightly and he blurted out: "You mean, the theme song was written by Yunfeng?"
The brother-in-law said proudly: "Hey, how did I do on this matter?"
Jia Borun scolded again: "To be more serious, I told you I'm in a meeting. Are you sure the theme song was written by Yunfeng?"
The brother-in-law smiled and said: "Of course I am sure. How dare I pretend to be him? Okay, I won't disturb your meeting. I will send it to your email right away."
Jia Borun urged: "Send it now."
After that, he hung up the phone.
He looked at Sun Fusheng, forced a smile, and said: "Director Sun, the theme song has been written."
The office suddenly became quiet.
Sun Fusheng and Xiong Zhaoxu knew Yunfeng, and the company had previously discussed purchasing the game copyright of Fengyun Comics.
But...
I was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this news, because the time was too short.
It has only been more than six hours since the theme song was arranged in the morning.
Even if it was Yunfeng who was in the limelight recently.
How could a song written in less than half a day be a good song?
Do you think their company is a sucker?
Is it so easy to make millions?
After a while.
Xiong Zhaoxu broke the silence and said, "Even if it was Yunfeng, it was too fast."
Sun Fusheng's face looked much better, but he still had doubts and said, "Let's listen to it first."
If it was really written by Yunfeng, it would naturally meet the requirement of "finding a well-known songwriter to write it."
However, the quality of the theme song must be good.
It is impossible to say that just because you are famous, you can just write a song to fool around.
"Director Sun, Director Xiong, I received the email." The email from Jia Borun's brother-in-law came.
Sun Fusheng glared and said, "Then what are you still hesitating about?"
Jia Borun's hands trembled and he almost dropped his phone.
Xiong Zhaoxu shook his head slightly and said, "Xiao Jia, forward the email to Director Sun's mailbox and play it on the computer. The sound quality will be better."
Jia Borun looked at Sun Fusheng.
Sun Fusheng said unhappily, "Look at what I'm doing. Why don't you forward the email to my mailbox?"
Jia Borun was almost crying. What a sin. I really can't stand it. Everything I do is wrong.
Finally.
The music started.
But why is the instrument used for this prelude a guitar?
The information given said that the game "Divine Domain" is based on the Chinese mythology legend of Pangu creating the world. On this basis, it creates a unique world, with an epic background and a magnificent plot, showing players an ancient, mysterious, and unknown fantasy world.
So, why not use Chinese folk instruments?
Isn't Yunfeng very good at playing the dongxiao, transverse flute, and suona?
In an instant, the anticipation dropped a lot.
However, they continued to listen.
"I don't know how many summers and autumns the sun sets and the moon rises
I don't know how long I have been running like this
I was destined to seek for my whole life since I was born
The love and freedom of the perfect world in the distance..."
This voice sang this lyrics, and the vast world presented by "Divine Domain" suddenly emerged in their minds.
The new world view created by combining the ancient Chinese mythology collection "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is to depict an ancient world where gods, immortals, demons, monsters, and spirits coexist for players.
Here, players are the creators of order.
Here, players are free and unrestrained.
Here, players can get a sense of pleasure that cannot be obtained in the real world.
"Fly with me
In the perfect world
Go with me just like a bird..."
Next, there is a paragraph of English that they can't understand.
But.
It makes them quite satisfied.
The game "Divine Domain" is a global simultaneous public beta. Although Chinese and Chinese are now the world's universal language and writing, adding some elements outside of China can attract more overseas players.
Moreover, this paragraph of English sounds extremely passionate and refreshing.
"Nothing can stop the free world
I don't know how long I will love you silently
I am willing to give my life and everything
I want you to follow me regardless of everything
To the love and freedom of the perfect world..."
This is singing "God's Domain".
The beautiful and imaginative melody and lyrics fully highlight the characteristics of the game and personal feelings.
Sun Fusheng, Xiong Zhaoxu, and Jia Borun all had the same idea in their minds. Could Yunfeng be a closed beta or internal beta player? Otherwise, how could he understand the game "God's Domain" so thoroughly?
Suddenly, the singing stopped.
Xiong Zhaoxu asked: "Old Sun, what is the name of this song?"
Sun Fusheng rolled the mouse wheel and returned to the top of the email page, saying: "Perfect World."
What a "perfect world"!
Although they are not professional musicians, they have the ability to appreciate songs.
They are very satisfied with the song "Perfect World", from the title to the lyrics and music.
But there are two problems.
First, the arrangement is too thin, with only one guitar accompanying the whole process.
Second, it is too short, just over two minutes, as if only half of the song was sung.
"Hey, flute, drums, electric guitar... It turns out that there is an arrangement." Sun Fusheng found the arrangement score diagram in the email, and then asked in confusion: "If there is, why didn't it record it?"
Xiong Zhaoxu seemed to guess the reason, looked at Jia Borun, and asked: "Xiao Jia, did you pay the outsourcing company for the cost of finding the songwriter and the singer together? Or just one of them?"
Jia Borun hurriedly replied: "I didn't pay the outsourcing company for the singer. I, I was going to do it myself..."
Xiong Zhaoxu smiled and said: "That's it, Lao Sun, what we just listened to should be just a demo of the song "Perfect World"."
Sun Fusheng nodded and said: "I said, how could such a song be sung a cappella."
Jia Borun hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Director Sun, Director Xiong, does Yunfeng's song "Perfect World" meet the requirements?"
Sun Fusheng snorted coldly and said: "Are you the head of the music and sound effects department, or are we?"
Jia Borun's face turned red, and he was embarrassed.
Xiong Zhaoxu changed the subject and said: "Old Sun, look at this singer, why don't you find Yunfeng."
Sun Fusheng said without thinking: "It seems that there is no one more suitable than him."
Perhaps it was because of this demo that they had a preconceived idea that Yunfeng sang the feeling they wanted.
Of course, Yunfeng barely met the requirement of "finding a popular singer to sing".
Sun Fusheng narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: "Go find Yunfeng and record the song "Perfect World". I won't pursue the theme song issue."
Jia Borun was delighted and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Director Sun. I will definitely do a good job on this matter."
