    After coming out of the restaurant, Cheng Peng came to Zhongguancun and got a computer worth 10,000 yuan, because a lot of work in the future needs to be completed through computers.  After he moved the computer into his room, he went downstairs and bought two boxes of instant noodles. Then he closed the door tightly and sat in front of the computer to get busy.  For the next ten days, he never left the house except to go to the bathroom.  After ten days of busy work, Cheng Peng stood up and moved his sore and swollen hands and feet after completing all the preparations.  When Huan Tou looked around, he found that the room was extremely dirty. There were boxes of instant noodles everywhere on the floor and on the table. It was like a huge garbage dump.  He was not in a hurry to clean it up. He walked to the bed and fell on the bed like he was cutting wood.  During these ten days, he only slept three or four hours a day because he was too tired.  The next morning, Cheng Peng went to the Internet cafe to check information and found a recording studio called Chuck, where he was going to record a song.  Filmmaking is a costly project. It costs money to rent shooting equipment and film. After the filming is completed, it costs money to develop the film, light distribution, and post-production, and the cost is not low.  Why is it said that making NG movies is a waste of film?  Because film is very expensive, NG is a waste of money.  Movies shown in cinemas are basically 35mm films. A 400-foot reel of 35mm film can only be shot for 4 minutes and costs 1,500 yuan.  The movie Cheng Peng plans to shoot is about 90 minutes long. A 90-minute movie does not require 22.5 reels of film.  During the filming process of a movie, most shots will be shot several times, which will waste a lot of film. Generally speaking, the ratio of movie material to the length of the final movie is 1:10. For a director with strict requirements like Wang Jiawei, the ratio will be as high as 1:30.  , or even 50.  Based on the ratio of 1:10, Cheng Peng's film requires 225 reels of film, which is 3.375 million yuan, which means that the cost of filming a 90-minute movie alone is nearly 340,000 yuan.  So if you really want to make a movie, you can't start it without two or three million. And Cheng Peng doesn't have that much money at all, so he can only make money through other ways, and this way is singing.  Cheng Peng has no plans to release an album and sell records. This is too time-consuming. It takes at least half a year from recording, packaging to release for an album. He doesn't want to wait long, and he doesn't want to sing so many songs. He wants to use one song to be as short as possible.  I can make enough money for making movies in just a few seconds.  This may sound impossible, but for Cheng Peng, who has future memories, it is possible.  In the hospital, the ringtone of his sister's cell phone reminded him that there was the easiest way to make money - ringtones.  ??Cring tone is a value-added service launched by China Mobile in early 2003. Simply put, when you make a call, what you hear before the call is connected is not the previous beep, but a piece of pleasant music.  It costs two yuan to download a ringtone. The sharing method is basically 15% for mobile phones, 35% for SP companies, and 50% for music companies. Sometimes the proportions are slightly adjusted depending on the songs.  In other words, for every download, the music company can earn 1 yuan. 1 million downloads is 1 million, and 10 million downloads is 10 million.  The number 10 million may sound crazy, but in fact it is not unusual. After China Mobile launched CRBT, there were many songs with more than 10 million downloads on the annual "Wireless Music Ranking". "Two Butterflies" alone brought  Tens of millions of profits came.  After repeated deliberation, Cheng Peng chose the song "Myth".  This song is the theme song of the movie "Myth" and was also the song that ranked first in downloaded ring tones on the mobile "Wireless Music Ranking" in 2007.  This song was downloaded more than 15 million times in 2007 alone. It is definitely not a problem to make enough money to make a movie through this song.  Of course, Cheng Peng has better choices, such as "Two Butterflies", "Who Do You Love", "Love Business" and other songs with better results, but he likes the movie "Myth" and also likes the movie "Myth".  song.  As for how to write the songs, this is no problem for Cheng Peng.  You must know that Chen Shaoyu is an independent filmmaker. Independent filmmakers must know many things. They must understand photography, lighting, art, and music. Because most independent filmmakers are very poor and do not have much money to hire others. They must understand many things.  You have to do it yourself. Like David Lynch, who is not only a famous screenwriter and director, but also an excellent television producer, photographer, cartoonist, composer, and calligraphy and painting artist; like Eastwood, in addition to being a producer and director  In addition to being an actor, he often composes soundtracks for his own films.  The same is true for Chen Shaoyu. Many times, he has to do many things by himself. Although his level of composing music is not high, he has no problem writing other people's music, so this is not a problem for Cheng Peng.  When the fat owner of the recording studio saw Cheng Peng, he immediately greeted him and said with a sweet smile: "Sir, are you here to record a song?" Cheng Peng looked at the environment of the recording studio and asked, "I am going to record a song.  I wrote the song myself, but I don¡¯t know how your equipment is like and the recording effect.??How?  ¡± There are generally two charging modes for recording songs in recording studios. One is charging for non-original songs. These songs are mostly popular and famous songs, such as Jacky Cheung¡¯s "Kiss Goodbye". There are a lot of fees for such songs in the recording studio.  Companion tapes and song recordings are charged by the hour. The other is the charge for original songs. Because the songs are original and there is no accompaniment in the recording studio, if you want to record such original songs, you need to ask the band in the recording studio to record the accompaniment, and then record the accompaniment.  Recording songs. Because a band is needed, the fee is expensive, usually several thousand yuan. When the fat boss heard Cheng Peng record original songs, the smile on his face became even brighter. He was like a Maitreya Buddha. He brought Cheng Peng into the recording studio.  , introduced various equipment, and assured Cheng Peng that his equipment must be the best. Even if the singing is not good, it can be modified with technical means. Even a tone-deaf person can still record the effect of a singer after listening to Fat Boss.  Cheng Peng smiled and said, "It sounds good, but how to calculate the cost?  " "The fee is based on time, 200 per hour. Your song is written by yourself, so it definitely needs accompaniment. We have a special accompaniment band, and this fee is calculated separately.  ¡± ¡°How much does it cost to record accompaniment?  " "There are three types of accompaniment. The standard type costs 1,000 yuan. It is a standard sample of the work. It is cost-effective and the effect is perfect.  The online distribution level is 2,000 yuan, which is close to the level of records.  The quasi-release level is 3,000 yuan. The auditory effect and melody accompaniment are perfectly combined to achieve the best effect. Which one do you need?  "Cheng Peng's songs are intended to be sold as ringtones, so the sound quality cannot be too bad: "Then it should be at the distribution level, but your price is too expensive, be cheaper!  " "Friend, this is the market price. Look at our machine" When the fat boss saw Cheng Peng bargaining, he immediately told him how good his equipment was, how great the band was, and how good the results were.  Strong. But Cheng Peng didn't let up, and argued with each other from his own point of view. After a heated exchange, both parties gave in and finally agreed on the price. The next step was to make the production.  The music was being recorded. After more than ten minutes, four disheveled, slovenly looking men followed the fat boss in. The man standing in the middle looked like he was playing in a band.  He yawned, scratched his head, stretched out his hand to Cheng Peng, and asked lazily: "You want to record accompaniment, and you need to arrange it first. Have you brought the music score?"  Give me the score.  " Cheng Peng took out the music score and handed it to the other party: "This is the music score. I'm sorry to bother you.  " The man took the sheet music, glanced at it and smiled disdainfully. Nowadays everyone really plays music! He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you wait here, we go to the recording studio  Go and record the accompaniment, I¡¯ll call you when I¡¯m ready!¡± After that, he turned around and left.  The fat boss smiled apologetically at Cheng Peng, meaning that's just how they are, don't mind.  The man was walking and reading the music score. His footsteps stopped slowly, then suddenly turned around, looked at Cheng Peng, and said, "Did you write this song?" Cheng Peng smiled faintly and said  : "Yes, is there any problem?" After the man looked Cheng Peng up and down, his eyes stared at him closely, as if he wanted to see through him, but all he saw was depth and calmness.  He smiled and said: "It's well written. It's a good song. My name is Wu Di, and I'm the leader of the Jet Band. Let's talk about music together if we have the opportunity." The fat boss's eyes widened.  Well, Wu Di took the initiative to invite people to talk about music. Is this song really that awesome?  Although Cheng Peng had no intention of chatting about music with others, he still smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay, let's chat when we get the chance." "Then, see you later!" The band spent nearly an hour completing the accompaniment music, and then  Cheng Peng was taken into the isolation room in the recording studio.  The fat boss knew that it was Cheng Peng¡¯s first time to enter the recording studio. After entering the isolation room, he briefly introduced to him how to start, how to end, where to stand, and how to use the equipment. Then he walked out of the isolation room and closed the door.  Cheng Peng put on the headphone straps and gestured to He Ping, the sound engineer at the console, through the soundproof glass to indicate that he was ready.  The sound engineer said into the microphone: "You wrote the song. You must know it by heart. We are not familiar with it. Let's try it once and then record it directly. The most important thing in singing is to be emotionally involved. You need to brew the emotion first.  Okay, call me." It is not difficult for the methodical Cheng Peng to invest in emotions and experience emotions.  What this song expresses is very simple, it is to describe the obsession and love between men and women, and the persistence of love. He closed his eyes and recalled in his heart when he first fell in love.Feel the mood at that time, and let those emotions ripple in your heart.  About a minute later, Cheng Peng made an 'OK' gesture towards the sound engineer, indicating that he was ready.  The sound engineer responded with an 'OK' gesture, and then said into the headset: "Okay, let's try it first." The accompaniment music sounded in the headset, Cheng Peng took a gentle breath and closed his eyes.  , once again recalled the original emotions in my heart, realized my original mood, and then sang with all my heart: "The familiar face in the dream, you are the tenderness I am waiting for, even if tears flood the world, I will not let go  "
