Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 869 - 623: Albums and Making Money
Since there aren't many classic Chinese-language songs in his memory, he plans to release two or three Chinese-language albums before releasing English albums to earn U.S. dollars and Euros abroad.
After finishing writing a few songs and completing the arrangement, Link sent two songs to Zhang Yadong to take a look. Zhang Yadong said after looking at them that both the lyrics and the melodies were very good, very mature, and hoped that he could find some time to come over for a trial singing and recording.
Link agreed and came to the Wheat Field Music Recording Studio on Saturday to do a trial singing of "Wind-blown Waves" and "Suddenly Missing You".
"Under the distant azure sky, the golden waves of wheat surge, where you and I once loved. When the breeze bringing the scent of harvest blows on my face, your tender words come to mind, once dampening my eyes...."
"That's fantastic!"
Outside the recording studio, before Link even finished singing, Zhang Yadong excitedly slapped his thigh.
Song Ke, Gao Xiaosong, old wolf, and a few other musicians, listening to Link's performance, also showed surprised expressions. For novice singers, when they first enter the recording studio, they all need guidance from the producer for several days to achieve a basic level of performance.
During singing, there may also be incidents of singers being off-tune or off-key, which require the producers to give directions from outside the studio, assisting in tuning, and after dozens or hundreds of repeated recordings, a mature song can be refined.
But Link was different, as soon as he entered the studio, he was able to smoothly present the song, matching the pitch and rhythm indicated on the score with barely any off-tune moments, showing particular stability and sophistication.
"Is this Link really a new singer? Why do I feel that his singing skills are even more solid than many veteran singers?"
Gao Xiaosong said stroking his plump chin.
Song Ke shook his head and looked at Link behind the soundproof glass, "Encountering someone like Link, sometimes you have to admit that there are genuine geniuses in this world, and compared to them, the rest of us are just ordinary people."
"This song is indeed very good; both the lyrics and melody are of high quality. Did Link create this himself?"
The long-haired old wolf asked with his headphones on.
"That's why I say he's a genius."
"Top-notch in appearance and temperament, can write lyrics and compose music, solid singing skills, a born star, Wheat Field has hit the jackpot."
Gao Xiaosong said with a smile.
"Indeed hit the jackpot. When the album is released, we should give Jelun brother a big red envelope."
Song Ke said with a smile, holding his arms.
In the studio, Link finished the first song and proceeded to sing the second song, "Suddenly Missing You".
"I fear sudden stillness in the air, the sudden concern of friends, the agony of sudden memories churning and unsettling, the fear of suddenly hearing about you, if missing someone had a sound...."
Zhang Yadong listened to it once and also felt there were no problems, only two or three details needed adjustment, and in other aspects, whether in tune, emotion, or appeal, it was all very mature. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"Song Ke, let's record it directly, Link sang really well, we just need to add some music in post-production to make it a mature song."
"Then let's do it. We'll ask Link later if he has any other songs written by himself. If not, we can help him find a few songs. If time permits, this album could be released by the end of the year."
Song Ke said.
Zhang Yadong nodded.
After Link had finished singing and came out, several people sat down to discuss the new album, with the first album tentatively containing 12 songs to test the waters and see the market's response.
Song Ke asked Link if he could expedite writing a few more new songs.
Link said he could try.
Song Ke mentioned that the company was also helping him secure songs. Although the quality was not as good as the two he had, they weren't bad either. During recording, they could be considered because these songs were purchased and the company would pay, without needing to give the composers and lyricists a share of the royalties.
Link said that was possible.
While recording songs, Link returned to school to continue training and took time in between to write and compose songs. By the end of October, he came up with six more quality songs, and together with four songs purchased by Wheat Field Music, the first album's full roster of 12 songs was assembled.
Link and Zhang Yadong and others busied themselves for two weeks in the recording studio, finishing the recording of all the songs for the first album.
On November 2, the new album's lead promotional single "Suddenly Missing You" hit national radio stations, mobile music portals for ringtone services, and Taihe Wheat Field's own 'Thousands of Quiet Listening' music platform.
Thousands of Quiet Listening is a music app developed by Taihe Wheat Field Music Company, currently the most popular internet music software with around 3 million users in the country.
With the strong promotion by Taihe Wheat Field, "Suddenly Missing You" reached a broadcast volume of 180 million in the first week across major radio stations, and 560,000 people chose to pay 1 Yuan to set this song as their ringtone on the mobile music portals.
On Qianqian Music, with resource blessings, the first-week play count exceeded 42 million times, and the download count reached 1.8 million times.
This year, only Jelun's new album "Ye Huimei" with its three lead singles, Princess's "Jiang Ai" released at year's end, Jolin Tsai's "Look at Me 72 Changes," SHE's "Super Star," among six singles, had first-week play numbers that were better than this album.
"Suddenly Missing You" almost became an overnight sensation. Now, walking on the streets of Capital City, sometimes you can hear this song being played in three or four shops on the same street, and people humming the song as they walk on the roads.
Although this situation doesn't earn Link much money, when everyone is listening to this song, playing it repeatedly, and even using it to attract customers or paying to set it as their ringtone, it shows that people love the song, like Link's voice, and enjoy his style of singing.
