I have to say that composing is actually very subjective.
You say that your music is good, and I say that mine is good. We both hold different opinions, but both think that what the other party does is inferior, and what we do is the best among the best.
Therefore, there has never been a standard for this thing. At most, it is left to the market to verify. The songs that are liked more are good, and the songs that are collected less are bad.
Sometimes someone or a certain company makes a request for a song, and offers a big price to find the singer.
But the other party was not satisfied with what Qu Dad wrote several times. On the contrary, he was an unknown ordinary composer, but his writing caught the other party's eyes. How can one reason with this?
Although this is only a small probability event, it is not impossible.
Currently Feiyang is encountering similar problems.
Among the eight top composers in the Chengdu branch, Party A from Fusang Country felt that it did not meet their requirements and asked them to compose again.
But recomposing music must also be based on each person's habits and methods, and it also requires a special test of inspiration.
Is inspiration something that comes and goes as soon as you call it?
Everyone looked at the animated introduction to "City in the Clouds" sent by Supervisor Yang. Some were biting their pens, some were scratching their heads, and some were pulling their hair out.
Only Jiang Kan looked at the content on the copy paper in front of him, his eyes shining!
This is a story full of childishness and fantasy. A boy encounters a girl. There is a pumice stone on the girl's necklace. When the two of them are avoiding the attack of the bad guys, they trigger the pumice stone to fly into the sky. They find it where the sea of clouds gathers. A city suspended on the clouds, like a paradise.
This place has been abandoned for a long time and seems to have been damaged by a lot of war.
But here now, there are birds singing, flowers fragrant, and green grass.
…
The introduction ends here, only one or two hundred words.
Other colleagues looked at it and sighed, wondering what kind of style and standards these annoying Party A wanted.
Then there are a few standards:
Be full of fantasy style;
Be full of innocence and childishness;
To reflect the ethereal, ethereal and sacred nature of the sky.
Damn it’s innocent and childlike style, isn’t this deceiving people? What can be written with this introduction?
The colleagues all had frowning faces, wanting to grab the person who made the request and slap them one hundred and eighty times in a row to vent their grievances.
But Jiang Kan’s eyes lit up and he was full of energy!
Doesn’t the piano piece “Castle in the Sky” that I got two days ago exactly correspond to it?
That ethereal feeling, that elegant melody, that ethereal and sacred atmosphere...
It’s like it’s tailor-made for this animation!
Could it be that the system had already predicted that he would experience this, and had prepared the music for him long ago?
"Hey, I think this piece of music is so torturous that composers of our level can no longer handle it."
A colleague named Wang Bing took action.
"I changed it again and again, and chose it again. I finally picked a song and sent it in. I thought it was all over, but two weeks later they called us back and asked us to redo it?"
"Is it so torturous? A top animation company just exposes it? It gives us five million to torment us like this?"
"No, you have to pay more!"
Wang Bing slapped his table and shouted bitterly.
"Yes, you have to pay more!"
Other colleagues also slapped the table in anger to express their dissatisfaction.
"What? He just said...how much is the reward for this piece of music?"
Jiang Kan was about to open the composition software and sort out the score of "Castle in the Sky" in his mind.
But unexpectedly, he heard Wang Bing's cry.
"Five million. The reward from Beiying Animation in Fuso Country for this song is five million soft girl coins."
Yu Xiaoyao sighed feebly while holding her cheeks with both hands, and repeated it to Jiang Kan smoothly.
"Hey, are you so arrogant?"
Jiang Kan was stunned!
Is this piece of music so expensive?
Is this what the top companies are trading at?
What if...
I mean what if...
I took over this order and made money. Can I also take a share of the five million soft girl coins...
5%?
He immediately stopped what he was doing, turned off the computer monitor, stood up, and walked quickly to Director Yang's office.
"Director Yang, I have a question for you."
Jiang Kan entered the room, closed the door, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in the calmest voice possible.
"Oh, Xiaojiang, please sit down, please sit down."
Manager Yang is in his fifties, so it's normal for him to call him "Jiang Kan" or "Xiao Jiang".
At first, he didn't understand why the company had to sign a singer of such an age. He also complained about this in private, thinking that Zhang Lingling was just trying to impress people and wasting the company's precious publicity and promotion resources.
But after hearing a few of Jiang Kan's own songs, he immediately changed his view of him 180 degrees, and even actively promoted the signing of Jiang Kan as a composer and lyricist.
As expected, after Jiang Kan joined Feiyang Entertainment, he created several songs for himself, his colleagues, and his partner singers, all of which were refreshing masterpieces.
He has regarded Jiang Kan as a capable person in the remaining ten years of his service. Occasionally, he will even think about how to win over him and make more and better songs for the composition department and for himself. His political achievements are even more glorious.
"Hey, Director Yang, you don't need to be so polite. I just want to ask, this custom-made song requested by Fuso Kingdom's Beiying Animation does not require lyrics or singing by a singer, so..."
"Ahem..."
He cleared his throat and calmed down.
"So...if this song is produced, what percentage of the remuneration will the creator of the song get?"
Jiang Kan was a little embarrassed to ask the question he wanted to know most.
And the other party's answer did not disappoint him!
"Haha, so that's the problem... Indeed, the requirements for this piece of music are very demanding and very special."
"But in order for the company to successfully win orders from the super giant companies in Fuso Country, and thus successfully establish an online relationship with them, in order to leverage Xinghai's cooperation and monopoly on the other country's cultural industry..."
"We, Feiyang Entertainment, have also made huge concessions and are willing to offer a very generous 10% revenue share to composers who have the ability to complete this customized track!"
Manager Yang looked at Jiang Kan with great interest. He had already seen the fire in Jiang Kan's eyes that suddenly became blazing because of hearing "10%"!
"Think about it, a 10% share, a reward of five million, 10% is 500,000!"
“In Chengdu, this is enough to pay for a 70-square-meter commercial house in a less prosperous area!”
"Furthermore, the producer of the song will also gain great prestige. Beiying Animation is a well-known production company in Fuso Country. The animations produced are exported to Southeast Asia and even around the world. Many composers want to establish relationships with them. !”
"What, Xiao Jiang... do you have the confidence to complete this special order?"
