"Minister Sun, this is the situation. The news about Jiang Kan is being spread by the media now, and we must step forward to suppress it."
In Feiyang Entertainment's Magic City headquarters, in the office of the manager of the agency department, Zhang Lingling was sitting on the chair opposite to Minister Sun, reporting to him.
"Yes, this matter must be suppressed. Jiang Kan has composed many classic songs since he came to our company, but he is a treasured composer. We must protect him and not let our colleagues feel cold."
Minister Sun is an unsmiling person, and he expressed his views very seriously at this moment.
"I have actually seen relevant news before, but at that time it was just some tabloid reports, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that Xinghai and Guangguang would also take action overnight, haha..."
Minister Sun tapped his finger on the table and chuckled twice.
"It is estimated that the price and influence of this "Frozen" order this time are too high. They want to take the opportunity to muddy the waters, tarnish Jiang Kan's reputation, and then make the other party worry about public opinion and not adopt his work. ? You are really good at planning."
If you stand high, you can see far. Cooperation with major international film companies is related to this. Only senior executives of some large companies can connect it with sky-high prices for high-end music competition.
People with a lower status don't even know about this, let alone associate this "entertainment news" with a song that costs 5 million yuan to produce.
"Yes, not only for the reputation of our fellow composers, but also for our company to win the five-million-meter order. Jiang Kan, as a talented composer who has been in the limelight recently, is very likely to win for our company. I won this order, and just for the sake of this company, I have to help him clear up the rumors."
When Zhang Lingling saw that her boss agreed, a stone fell from her heart.
But in order to make him take this matter more seriously, he still added another ballast.
"Of course, "A Laugh in the Sea", "The Hard-to-Recite Sutra", and "The Love of a Lifetime" have allowed us to see Jiang Kan's genius in scoring music in the film and television industry. The company will rely on it more in the future. Use his talents to win more orders, ahem..."
Minister Sun coughed twice, cleared his throat, and continued to speak seriously.
"Well, I will contact other brother departments in the department to work together on this matter, so you don't have to worry too much. By the way, the "Voice of Trend" recently launched by Huang Shengcai and Jiang Linlin will soon enter the preliminary screening stage. You should keep an eye on the registration and participation status of the company's contracted singers. I have a feeling that this variety show will be very grand and influential. We can't lag behind Xinghai and Guangguang. "
Minister Sun's words reminded Zhang Lingling that she had been busy recently with signing new singers in the company and renewing the contracts of some old singers. She was a little neglectful after not taking care of the new variety show for two days.
"I know Minister Sun, I will always keep an eye on this variety show. By the way, Jiang Kan is also going to participate in this show. We'd better help him resolve this matter before the official competition starts on the 10th, but we can't Because this matter affected his mood for the competition..."
In order to make the other party pay more attention to this matter, Zhang Lingling reminded her again.
"Mr. James, are you confident that you can win this big deal from Case Animation this time?"
In the United States, in a studio filled with musical instruments and recording equipment, two men were having a conversation.
One of them was wearing casual home clothes, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes. He was holding a pen in his hand and writing and drawing quickly on the staff paper that was already full of notes. Pause and think, then continue scribbling notes.
The other person was dressed professionally in a suit and leather shoes, with his shiny hair neatly combed back, showing his extremely professional attitude.
"Half and half."
The composer known as James did not look back, but moved the pen back a bar and changed one of the notes above.
"Ha, you are our company's top songwriter and a national
Is one of the top composers in the country so unsure of winning this list? "
When the middle-aged man in a suit and leather tie heard this, his eyes showed a mixture of curiosity and surprise.
"Sam, this is not surprising. You also said that I am just "one" of the top composers. When everyone has the opportunity to grab such a huge order, you can imagine how fierce the competition is. And know. "
James White raised the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, turned his head and glanced at his colleague he called Sam with the corner of his eyes.
"When I say there is a half chance, I am overestimating my own strength. In fact, when facing competition from so many peers, in addition to strength, I have to have some luck before I can be half sure."
He returned his gaze to the music score in front of him and continued to outline it with his pen.
"Ah, indeed, that's the case. What you said makes sense."
Sam changed his position and continued to lean against the side of the porch.
"Keith Animation has spent a lot of money this time. In order to regain the number one position in the market in terms of animated films, it spent 5 million on this customized theme song alone, and it still solicited collections from all over the world..."
He smacked his lips and made a helpless gesture.
"So, indeed, we not only have to face competition from famous composer masters in China, but also from other composers around the world, such as the classical music masters in Europe and the tartar master from Fuso Country. , and even... there is one..." Chinese website
Sam was a little stuck and couldn't think of the name of the person he wanted to say, so he pressed the tip of his nose awkwardly.
"The talented composer from the Xia Kingdom, the master who wrote the piano song "To the First TA" that shocked the world - Jiang Kan!"
James named his colleague in one breath, and it was also the name that he and his colleagues were afraid of, which helped him ease the embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, that jiangkan is pronounced like this, right? The song "Castle in the Sky" he created for the movie "City on the Clouds" directed by Gong Qi, the animation master of Fuso Kingdom, has already Showing off his genius creative ability..."
Sam looked up at the ceiling of the messy music room, and part of his gaze was at the clear blue sky through the windows on the wall.
"Do you think of him as your imaginary enemy, James?"
he asked curiously, but wasn't sure if his fellow composer, who was born to be strong, would give him a clear answer.
"All masters are my imaginary enemies, not just him."
The person who asked the question did not give a direct answer, but his answer clearly showed that Jiang Kan was indeed one of the enemies he imagined in this competition.
"I have already investigated and found out that the large entertainment company in Xia Kingdom called "feiyang" has indeed taken over this order. They have many outstanding musicians, and "jiangkan" is indeed their employee, so..."
Sam walked over and patted James on the shoulder.
"Come on, if you win this order and the huge reward of five million this time, then it will be his and his colleagues' turn to discuss your powerful opponent on the other side of the earth, isn't it? What?"
In Fuso Kingdom, inside the residence of the famous composer Master Li Shi.
The master, who is over sixty years old, is writing and drawing on a staff in his study with his favorite gold-inlaid fountain pen.
He frowned for a while and kept the same posture, thinking hard for several minutes without writing.
When inspiration comes, I quickly draw some lifelike tadpoles on the staff.
On the wooden coffee table on the other side of the room, a stick of incense was burning silently in a white porcelain basin. The white smoke spread to every corner of the room with a vague aroma.
Outside the study window, there is a courtyard covered with white stones and fine sand.
Beautiful flowers and green plants are planted all around, making the entire courtyard elegant and bright.
"Thing thump thump..."
A burst of rapid and light footsteps came from the wooden corridor in the distance from far to near.
Then there was a "swipe" sound, the half-open paper door was opened, and a voice came from the door into the ears of the old man who was composing music.
"Teacher, I already have news about what you asked me to inquire about."
It was the voice of a middle-aged man, rough but polite.
No voice came from the room to answer him. The middle-aged man could only keep his kneeling posture, lowering his head and waiting for the teacher's reply.
After a few more minutes, Master Tartar put down the pen in his hand, wiped his hands with a wet towel next to him, and then turned around and said to him:
"Tell me about your news."
"Yes, teacher."
The middle-aged man bowed respectfully again, then raised his head and answered.
"The composer you are paying attention to, Jiang Sang, has indeed accepted the production of the animation song order. Our people have confirmed that Feiyang's branch has accepted the order. I think they only Maybe Jiang Sang is qualified to write the song."
Seeing the doubtful look in the teacher's eyes, the man explained in detail.
"The Yangcheng branch of Feiyang Entertainment where he works, according to some information I have, has been performing poorly in the past few years, and is even about to be closed down, while Jiang Sang two months ago Sent there as specialists to improve their performance.”
The middle-aged man knelt respectfully on the soft and clean tatami and continued to report the information he had obtained in an admiring tone.
"After that, in May and June, Jiang Sang brilliantly created the soundtracks for two movies, two TV series and a large-scale computer game and received great acclaim. Both movies won Sales were as big as a volcanic eruption. The ratings of two TV series, one new one reached 2.9%, and one national IP drama exceeded 4.9%!"
"And the game he scored has also sold more than 1 million units. In just two months of sales, it has already been ranked among the top ten in their country this year!"
The middle-aged man reported, with an expression of admiration and envy on his face.
But looking at his teacher's old but resolute figure and expression, the admiration and envy of Jiang Kan on his face immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Haha, having such a powerful opponent is both a challenge and an inspiration to me!"
The tart master sat upright, subconsciously stroking his knees with his right hand, raised his head slightly and said with emotion.
"I was too busy at the time, so I unfortunately didn't take over the work of scoring the masterpiece of my old friend Gong Qi. This was taken over by Jiang Sang, and then I created such a wonderful "Castle in the Sky". Every time I hear this music, I feel a sense of reverence..."
A look of yearning appeared in his eyes, and a slight smile formed on the corner of his mouth.
"I have never heard such a shocking movie soundtrack. It's just... after listening to it, you feel that they were born to match each other like this!"
"Later, I also collected some popular music he composed to listen to, and I felt that I benefited a lot..."
He nodded slightly, then shook his head.
"Haha, in this case, I dare not say that my chance of success in this competition is even half, Jiang Sang, you are really a formidable opponent!"
Jiang Kan, who was in the Xia Kingdom, would certainly not be aware of the evaluation of him by these two master composers.
He would not have known that his reputation had actually spread across the ocean and reached the ears of composers in distant foreign countries inadvertently.
At this moment, he is concentrating on selecting the songs that will participate in the preliminary screening of "Voice of Trend" this time.
After all, Zhang Lingling told him that the company would help him handle the matter, and asked him not to worry too much, lest it affect his mood and state of participating in the new variety show.
Jiang Kan himself thought so too. After all, Feiyang was also one of the three giants, so it would be easy to spread rumors about such nonsense.
As for the sky-high price competition order worth 5 million yuan that has troubled the world's composing masters, he doesn't really care about it. After all, he has already ordered it in the system and the finished song is already lying in his system warehouse. .
It's just that we have to wait for a few days before talking about it. Otherwise, if we hand it in now, wouldn't it give those rumors another hint that they are true?
What bothers him now is what song he should choose to sing in this new variety show.
He asked Zhang Lingling for her opinion, but the other party just said that with her own ability, she could definitely enter the semi-finals if she picked any song.
But Jiang Kan himself does not have that strong self-confidence, or in other words, he is not so arrogant that he is like the protagonist of an entertainment article. He only needs to tremble in front of the examiner, and the examiner will bow his head and show his qualifications with both hands. Offer it to yourself.
Moreover, fame plays no role in this preliminary round. The examiners cannot see the faces of the contestants at all. The two sides are separated by a curtain. It is impossible for others to take extra care of you just because you are a star.
