I've finally been busy, the New Year's Day holiday is over, and it's time to go to work again. Jiang Kan yawned and walked out of the elevator and came to the composition department's office.
"Morning, uncle!" Yu Xiaoyao, who was full of energy, raised her hand and waved to him. "Good morning, Xiaoyao~" Jiang Kan felt warmed up in his heart and waved to her happily.
"Everyone came so late today. We are the only two in such a big office..." Jiang Kan yawned again and came to his seat.
"Uncle, what did you do during the vacation? Are you so tired?" The two began to chat and exchanged some snacks.
"It's nothing, I just recorded another song, so I didn't get a good rest..." As he said that, he yawned again, with an expression on his face that he didn't get enough sleep.
"Oh?" Yu Xiaoyao opened her mouth in surprise. "Do you have a spot?" "Yes, wasn't Li Ruping poached? Her spot was vacant. Others were unwilling to compete on the stage with those two first-line singers, so they asked me if I could get in.
"I'll just go. What's there to be afraid of? I'm a newcomer anyway." Jiang Kan answered Yu Xiaoyao's words while taking out a can of espresso from his backpack.
"Yes..." Wearing a cloak with a pink bunny ears hood, Yu Xiaoyao looked like a large pink rabbit. While chatting with Jiang Kan, she stuffed snacks into her mouth like a rabbit. .
After a while, everyone from the composition department arrived one by one. But Jiang Kan discovered that Deng Gang's seat had always been empty and no one came.
Moreover, the computer and arranger keyboard above are also gone. "Hey, Xiaoyao, do you know what happened to Deng Gang?
” He pointed to the spot in the corner. "Oh, him, it is said that a small and medium-sized company came to poach him and promised that he would be the chief songwriter in the past, and then he changed jobs.
"Zheng Yupeng, who had just entered the door, happened to pass between the two of them. Hearing Jiang Kan's words, he replied casually.
"Really? He changed jobs? Chief composer?" Yu Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and the soul of gossip began to burn.
"Really? But I think it's fine. He's obviously very unhappy staying here. It's not a good thing for him to change the environment.
"Jiang Kan can see clearly. After nearly twenty years of work, these divisions and integrations in the workplace have long been taken lightly. Soldiers who are in an iron-clad camp and have flowing water, if the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain." , very normal.
"Good morning, everyone!" Manager Yang also walked into the office door at this time. Today, instead of walking towards his office as usual, he came to the middle of the big office and clapped his hands, attracting everyone. attention.
"Did everyone have a good rest during the New Year's Day? I see that many people still have dark circles on their faces. They obviously didn't sleep enough. Did they go on a trip or play cards for three days?
"Anyway, I slept well for three days. My wife and children went on a trip without even calling me. They knew I was working hard."
"Hahaha~" "Old Yang, are you afraid that you did something and were punished by your sister-in-law?" He first greeted everyone, and everyone laughed politely in cooperation with him, and then he Let’s get down to business.
"Now, there is such a thing." "The film and television subsidiary of our group company recently filmed a youth school drama, which is about the secret love triangle between male and female high school students.
"Then, we need a theme song that fits this tone and matches the atmosphere of the film. The higher-ups have already put forward requirements for our composition departments in Shanghai, Chengdu, and Yangcheng to compete for selection."
"Our Chengdu branch's strengths lie in animation soundtracks and ordinary song creation. We are not very good at theme songs and ending songs for such live-action movies and TV series."
” He paused and looked around, trying to see in the eyes of his subordinates whether any of them showed eagerness to try.
But he was disappointed. Everyone just looked at him silently, no one showed any expression of wanting to try it.
"So, I don't force this matter on everyone. If there is a suitable archive, just do it. If not, it doesn't matter. This matter mainly depends on the branch office in Yangcheng. They are better at doing this.
"Because Jiang Kan was a newcomer, no one showed any excited expressions, and no one seemed to care much about this, so he just listened to Director Yang's words silently and said nothing.
"Well, that's it. If you are interested and want to know more, you can privately chat with me in our department group.
After saying that, he raised his silver-white plastic-framed reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and walked into his small office.
"Xiaoyao, I don't think everyone is very interested in this list?" After Lao Yang's door closed, Jiang Kan turned to look at Yu Xiaoyao who had just wiped out a bag of candies.
"Hey, didn't Lao Yang just say that none of us here have much interest in live-action movies or anything like that..." She opened the drawer and looked at the plastic bags of candy inside, as if she was thinking about it. What snacks should I eat next while responding to Jiang Kan’s words?
"Brother Kan, this is actually not surprising. Not only us, but also composers from other companies don't like to accept orders for this type of film.
Zheng Yupeng finally picked up the conversation and continued to educate Jiang Kan about the secrets here. "Oh? Why is that?
If a movie soundtrack becomes popular, it will also be very popular. Over the years, many good songs have relied on a good movie to stand out.
"Jiang Kan was puzzled. After all, he didn't know much about this industry knowledge. "That's right, you heard what Lao Yang said, this is a youth campus type movie.
"The directors of these types of movies are usually young and artistic people, or middle-aged and artistic people.
"What they are pursuing is actually a so-called "adolescent surge" feeling. "Either the film is made obscure and difficult to understand, or the scenes are very bold and explicit, or it is a pure discussion of the philosophy of life... Anyway, basically out of ten films produced, seven or eight are bad films, and there are two or three." They may be watchable, but they are also niche films that do not make money.
Zheng Yupeng chewed the beef jerky and threw a small bag to Jiang Kan and Yu Xiaoyao, talking while eating.
"Generally, films like this are aimed at some kind of award, but generally speaking, they don't get any awards. The most they can do is sit in a row and eat fruit, and get some "Best Cinematography Award", "Best Cinematography Award", etc. "Nostalgia Award", "Best Costume Award", etc. It's hard to even win the Best Supporting Actor.
"Naturally, there are no big-name actors willing to star in it, so the market appeal is also quite low. Only some junior high school students and high school students who are not yet underage and yearn for a beautiful feeling of love will buy tickets to watch it. But this group of people happens to They are also the group with extremely low purchasing power that is least valued by the box office market.
"He spread his hands, tilted his head, and said in a rather teasing tone. "So, no one is interested in writing songs for this kind of movies. Even if they write songs, they won't become popular. It's a waste of time and energy, and they won't earn much dividend money.
"Oh, so that's how it is..." Jiang Kan nodded and said with enlightenment.
