Chapter 461 Co-production
"It's really a mess..." Ye Zhao complained, "It's a bit sloppy to do this."
The difference between wanting to sing and instructing others to sing is a huge 100,000 miles away. Songs are easy to sing, and music practitioners who earn an annual salary of one million are supported by these players with incomplete tone.
But when a producer comes to direct others to sing... for example, it is similar to people who are completely inexperienced to threaten to be a director.
In the film industry, there was a so-called deputy director association that specialized in focusing on these zero-experience directors. Before the era when anyone with money could set up a studio as a director, anyone who dared to "get to the top in one step" would be held down and beaten up.
In contrast, the music industry is much gentler. At worst, people will be sneered by the sarcastic commentary of magazines and media. As long as they are thick-skinned, they can use them to wash their faces.
"It's enough for one time," said Makoto Hamada. "I don't want to discover the right newcomers like you, and then start music activities. I just want to use the topic of the show to do a limited period plan."
That is the "part-time singer" who conducts activities within a limited period. In this way, although he has made his official debut, it is different from ordinary singers.
Regarding the responsibilities of the producer, singers or band-born musicians will most likely provide lyrics and music to the singers being produced when they start working as producers.
These are also these people who support the current producer trend.
Of course, it is not necessary to be an all-round lyricist and music-proficient in music as a producer. Because the most important job of a producer is actually to control the overall situation. There are more people who do not provide lyrics and music and only serve as producers than they do in one hand.
It is precisely because of this that being a producer requires more advanced skills and outstanding vision. A good songwriter does not necessarily mean a good producer, but the situation is similar.
In this regard, it is 100% unqualified to be a producer. No one would doubt this guy's funny skills, but if you want to talk about music skills... no one would doubt this guy's funny skills.
However, if the object he wants to produce is a funny artist, things will be a little different.
It is 100% predictable that the selling point of this project is focused on funnyness. To be honest, it is like releasing a character song.
When the program ends and the popularity passes, you should do whatever you should continue. The most important thing is that this kind of project does not have the risk of "misleading people's children", because the party being produced only occasionally changes the track.
The so-called playmaker plus play singer.
"I don't understand something," said Ye Zhao. "That's what is my role in this project?"
If the producer is played by Makoto Hamada himself, then it doesn't matter who the person who provides the lyrics and music is. There is no need to find him on purpose, just to tell him that he plans to choose a product from the funny artist.
"Because even if I have ambitions, I know that I can't do it alone." Makoto Hamada explained, "Since I'm curious and yearning for the job of producers, I definitely want to do better, rather than just do it randomly."
In other words, what Makoto Hamada wanted to do was actually "co-production", that is, to work with professional producers to complete the project together.
As a funny artist, he knows how to discover the points that funny artists can please the audience, but his musical literacy is not enough and he cannot stand alone, so he thought of getting a helper.
The two of them work together as producers, and this is not the only way to do it.
"Actually, if it was made together, wouldn't Komuro Sang be very suitable? Moreover, the two have had experience in cooperation." Ye Zhao still had no intention of agreeing.
The reason why Komuro Tetsuya was mentioned was a little worried. Hamada Makoto only thought of finding him after Komuro Tetsuya rejected him. That would be a bit boring.
"It's a great time to cooperate with Komuro-kun..." said Makoto Hamada, "However, because I want to try something new, I want to cooperate with new musicians."
"And, after seeing Ye Jun's 'magic' last time, I thought I would cooperate with you anyway." This sentence is not only a high hat for him, but also from sincerity.
The style of Hamada Masako's music partner, starting from Tetsuya Komuro to Minsheng Okuda, Keiyuki Kohara, and later Nakada's ヤスタka (producer of perfume), can be regarded as very changeable.
This also makes me feel that he is really fun to deal with music and will not be tied to anyone. Of course, in addition to being fun, he also keeps up with trends and likes to work with big musicians.
From this point of view, being able to come to him to ask for cooperation is a proof of entering the big thing. Even if there is no such thing, now the treatment given to him by the outside world is at the big thing level.
"Did the show start broadcasting in April of the following year?" Ye Zhao asked.
I started to be interested in the project itself, which was actually a sign of letting go. Anyway, it was a one-time transaction. If he really wanted to do it, it was the song itself, so he couldn't worry too much.
Makoto Hamada naturally understood what he meant and immediately replied: "Yes."
"If you debut, which record company should you go through?"
"Of course it's our own record company." Makoto Hamada's tone was a little proud.
"Our own record company" is not about Makoto Hamada who built a label to play this project, but about Yoshimoto R and C, a record company that belongs to Yoshimoto Xingye.
The evil forces of Yoshimoto will naturally not miss the field of records.
After asking about the details he wanted to know, Ye Zhao finally gave a positive answer. By the way, what he could do could also increase his own influence, so it would be okay to agree.
"Then, let's hold a press conference to announce this news later!" Before leaving, Makoto Hamada was still very excited. That was the excitement of being able to access unknown areas.
There are a lot of singles for funny artists who just count them. Especially for funny artists who need to be exposed, the debut of the record is also a valuable opportunity.
For example, now, Yoshihiro Yoshiki, a funny artist known for his stinky tongue, debuted with his partner through the planning of the radio boy, and produced the single "White Cloud" and sold millions of copies.
