The next day, Jiang Kan was continuing to perfect "Mouse Loves Rice" and "Two Butterflies" in the composition department's office.
The quality of these two online songs is very high, but they also have an obvious shortcoming:
It just has a strong sense of age and seems a little too out of touch with the current era.
He had to change these two songs so that the lyrics and main melody remained unchanged.
But we need to change the arrangements to make them more fashionable, so that they won't be criticized by netizens as "too cheesy" as soon as they are released.
This is a bit like Ye Gong Haolong. He says he likes the style of the past, but if it is too dated, he will still be criticized and said that he does not know how to keep pace with the times. It is not true that the audience still completely likes the style written twenty years ago. Song.
This is probably a mistake that many singers and songwriters will make during this online song conference. Now that I have thought of it, I would do my best to avoid it.
Then she saw Yu Xiaoyao pulling her chair and leaning over.
She held a glass of hot water with nothing in it, took a sip, and then said to him:
"Uncle, the number of viewers of the movie you wrote the song for seems to be getting higher and higher recently! I went to a certain page to check it out, and the number of viewers is almost close to 1 million!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kan immediately clicked on the webpage and searched for relevant data on "Youth Without Regrets: Campus Love Song".
"Really, the number of moviegoers in the week and a half after its release is close to one million. Will the bad movie "Youth Without Regrets" be a counterattack?"
He saw the news ranked first, so he clicked on this web page.
"According to the real-time news on this website, this movie was originally highly despised and was already booked by the majority of netizens in January as the worst movie of the year!"
"But a week after its release, the number of moviegoers miraculously increased! This was beyond everyone's surprise!"
"Reporters from this website conducted some random interviews before the movie was released in theaters. Almost 80% of the viewers said that they came to the theater to watch this movie because of the influence of online reviews of "bad movies!"
"Of course, there are still nearly 20% of the audience who said that they just came to see how bad this movie is, which is why it was voted the worst movie of the year in January."
"The reporter of this website also watched the film once. As for the viewing experience, it is really... hard to describe. But it is true that the theme song of this film "My Deskmate" made the reporter watch this short but long one and a half I felt that light in the darkness when I was young.”
After reading this brief comment, Jiang Kan and Yu Xiaoyao were both amused.
"Hey, is this reporter still 'that ray of light in the darkness'? Aren't you afraid that the crew will come and compete with him in real life?"
Jiang Kan shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"People are not afraid. The biggest fear of journalists is that there is no news. If they dare to come to retaliate, it will be too late for the website to be happy... By the way, the download volume of this song has also been soaring recently. I just took a look. , it has already been downloaded more than 300,000 times!”
Yu Xiaoyao took another sip of the hot water in the cup and swallowed it with some difficulty. As a person who is used to drinking coffee, tea and other flavored drinks, it is really a bit difficult for her to drink boiled water. The feeling of being tortured.
"Yeah, I haven't even noticed..."
Jiang Kan opened the Feixing Music website and checked the downloads and song rankings of "My Deskmate".
"305,200 downloads, ranking 29th on the January New Song Chart... 29th? So awesome?"
Jiang Kan accidentally couldn't control himself and exclaimed in a low voice, causing the colleagues around him to look at him.
"Brother Kan, your grades are pretty good. You're doing it unintentionally, right?"
A female colleague in her thirties with a wavy hairstyle and fashionable dress came over with a cup of coffee and looked at Jiang Kan's screen.
"Oh, it's colorful, yes, I didn't expect this song to have such good luck, to have so many downloads due to the sudden increase in the number of moviegoers..."
The visitor was one of his colleagues from the composition department, Liu Binfen, sitting in front of him on the left. Because there was a tall pot of green radish at the exit of her row, Jiang Kan subconsciously rarely walked in. Talk to her and the colleague next to you.
"Brother Kan, you are being too modest. Now who doesn't know that your song made this movie popular?"
She glanced at Yu Xiaoyao, who was sipping hot water, and then at Jiang Kan, and said with a sour tone.
"When Lao Yang announced the task, none of us had much interest in taking it. Brother Kan was still great, and his move was a miracle..."
"Not only did I save this movie, but it also became a hit as the theme song. It's really...unexpected...Congratulations~"
After saying that, she glanced at the screen again, walked back to her seat and sat down calmly with the coffee cup in hand.
"..."
Jiang Kan didn't know what to say, so he just gave her a polite smile.
"Hey, I'm sorry. It's a pity that I didn't take advantage of such a good gimmick and hot spot."
Yu Xiaoyao held the cup in both hands and glanced at her back, curling her lips and tilting her head.
"But to be honest, I feel a little regretful. I should have tried writing a song for them, haha. What if it accidentally became popular?"
The atmosphere in the office is not always peaceful and non-controversial. My colleagues are all top people in the industry. It is understandable that we may occasionally feel unconvinced or sour.
Jiang Kan himself encountered this kind of thing a lot when he was working in the IT industry. This kind of thing often happened between different project teams under the same department. I envy your project budget and you envy my project. The spokesperson is famous and so on...
To name a few.
"Haha, yes, if I saw that the song you wrote made a bad movie popular, I would actually think to myself, 'Oh, I wish I had tried it, in case it became popular. Woolen cloth?'"
Jiang Kan smiled slightly and shook his head, but did not take this matter to heart.
We usually get along quite happily, and we often chat and brag together during tea time. No one takes such a trivial matter to heart.
They are all great people in the industry, who doesn’t feel a little proud?
"But... I thought at first that the system's task of exceeding 1 million downloads could not be completed, but I didn't expect that it would reach 300,000 so quickly?"
Yu Xiaoyao pulled her office chair back to her seat.
Jiang Kan stared at the data on the screen in a daze.
"Looking at this growth rate, we should be able to reach 1 million downloads before the end of the month, right? Then I can get another music treasure chest. I wonder what kind of songs I can release this time?"
…
While Jiang Kan was looking forward to his "My Deskmate" being able to break through 1 million downloads as soon as possible, in another large office on the same floor, Zhang Lingling was chatting with Wang Yuchang, who had just transferred to the Rongcheng branch.
"Xiao Wang, don't be anxious. As far as I know, Brother Kan has already started composing online songs for you to sing. He has been composing at his workstation using arranging software for the past few days. It seems that He’s very busy, so don’t rush him anymore!”
Wang Yuchang pulled up a chair and sat next to her. He was still very anxious at first, but after hearing Sister Zhang's words, he became slightly calmer.
"Hey, Sister Zhang, I'm not in a hurry, but did you know that Hu Yuyong from Xinghai is going to participate in this online singer competition because he has a broken brain?"
"This is a pretty strong opponent. It is said that they will also produce a song for him that is at least A-level. I want to continue his popularity last year and make him famous this time!"
The facial features on Wang Yuchang's handsome face were wrinkled together. He really didn't expect that such a small-sounding competition could attract his biggest rival from last year to also participate!
Isn’t this the case where enemies don’t get together?
