"Teacher, do you have something to do with me?"
In Yanjing, in a courtyard that is not very luxurious but is very clean and tidy, Liu Dehou and his teacher Mr. Zhang Kuanhou were listening to the radio and drinking tea under a banyan tree with dense leaves.
He had also just returned from a performance abroad. As soon as he arrived in Yanjing, he received a call from his teacher and ran over to wait.
"This time our young friend's matter was settled very well. It seems that justice in the world has proved his innocence."
Mr. Zhang didn't answer him directly, but chatted for a while. Liu Dehou naturally knew who he was talking about. There was a lot of fuss about Jiang Kan being framed some time ago, and they also made a lot of efforts to support this half. My own family.
"Yes, I heard later that the actor who framed him secretly paid him a large sum of money in exchange for forgiveness... Tell me, if I had known now, why did I do it in the first place?"
Liu Dehou also shook his half-flowered head, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the scalding hot tea.
"Haha, you must have the intention of harming others... By the way, I called you here this time because of this matter..."
Mr. Zhang let out a disdainful laugh from the corner of his mouth, then took out his mobile phone from the big pocket of his coat, fiddled with it for a while, put it on the small table in front of him, pushed it forward, and then turned it off. The radio is "beep babbling".
"Oh? What is this?"
Liu Dehou stretched out his hand, took the mobile phone from the table and put it in front of his eyes.
"Hangcheng West Lake Animation's annual masterpiece "The Return of Wukong" will be released in mid-August. The first promotional song "Wukong" will shine brightly and subvert your understanding of music?"
This is an entertainment news report, and a web playback window is provided below, which seems to be clickable to play.
"click?"
Mr. Zhang raised his chin towards him, smiled and motioned for him to listen to the song.
"oh."
Liu Dehou put on his reading glasses and pointed his right index finger on the screen of his mobile phone.
"The moon splashes across the stars, the road is long,
The wind and smoke are gone, and the only shadow is dim. "
An ethereal voice appeared in his ears, like a lonely figure looking down at his reflection in the water by the pool.
"Well, the intro is pretty good, and the singing is also clean and refreshing..."
He touched his clean-shaven chin with his hand, trying to figure out what the teacher meant by telling him to listen to this song.
"Who told me that I am extraordinary?
Who puts me in a dilemma between love and hate?
Later, the liver and intestines were severed. "
The voice is quiet and ethereal, refreshing and clean, as if telling a story that doesn't matter whether anyone is listening or not.
"Ouch!"
Liu Dehou took a deep breath, and the suddenly raised tone made his skin crawl instantly!
"This tune feels a bit like the feeling when we sing in an opera. Could it be..."
He turned to look at his teacher, who was half-lying on the recliner with his eyes squinted contentedly, enjoying the song coming from his mobile phone.
He turned his head and continued to listen.
The song is melodious, clear and powerful, full of dissatisfaction and resentment towards the worldly world, as well as a trace of confusion and incomprehension.
The singing seems to be asking about heaven and earth, but also like asking about one's own heart.
"Call Buddha, and there will be no hope of turning back.
Kneel one person as a teacher, life or death has nothing to do with it;
The floating world of good and evil, the true and false world,
The dispersion and gathering of dust are not clear,
Hard to break! "
The lyrics progress layer by layer, the rhythm gradually accumulates, and the emotions gradually accumulate.
Then when it got here, it suddenly exploded, like a thunder exploding in Liu Dehou's heart!
"What do I need this iron rod for?
So what if I have this change!
Still uneasy, still melancholy,
The golden hoop is on the head, and if you want to say it, you will give up. "
Strong opera-style singing gushed out from the mobile phone, stirring like a strong wind in the small courtyard!
The song, which was like a silver bottle cracking, strongly stimulated Liu Dehou's eardrums, making him feel as if he had drank a large bowl of ice water in the dog days of summer, as exciting and refreshing as it was!
He opened his eyes suddenly and looked at his teacher.
And he found that his teacher also opened his eyes that were closed in sleep, and looked at him with a smile.
He understood, and understood the reason why the teacher called him here this time.
This song……
This new song composed by Jiang Kan is another dramatic song that they have been waiting for for a long time!
The indescribably strong dramatic flavor inside is like pure old wine, exuding a refreshing aroma that makes people intoxicated and unable to stop!
Especially the last few lines of the lyrics, which repeatedly ask and answer questions, not only eliminate the inner demons, but also strengthen one’s determination to conquer the demons. It’s extremely joyful to listen to them!
After listening to the song patiently, Liu Dehou felt that his chest was full of fiery passion. He wanted to say something to vent, but he couldn't find the words for a while. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Suddenly he stood up suddenly and raised his head. The head roared loudly:
"ah!!!"
As expected of someone who has practiced his voice for many years, his voice was so powerful that it shook the branches above his head and scared away a few birds parked on the tree.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing him like this, Mr. Zhang couldn't help laughing.
"You, you, are such a sweetheart, but this song does have such charm. It can make people want to express the depression in their chests and yell. When I first heard it, I was the same as you are now. Almost, hahahaha.”
The old man touched his gray beard and nodded slightly.
"This young man has brought us another big surprise this time!"
After Liu Dehou roared, he felt much happier, and the shock brought by the lyrics and singing gradually faded away.
"Haha, this kid can really bring us surprises. It means we didn't help him in vain..."
"Dingling bell~"
At this time, Liu Dehou's phone suddenly rang.
"Yo? They said Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, but this guy Jiang Kan called!"
He smiled at Mr. Zhang and then answered the phone.
"Hey, Xiaojiang, it's really strange today, you actually took the initiative to call us..."
"Oh? New song? A dramatic song?"
"Haha, we have seen it a long time ago. The promotional song for the cartoon called "The Return of Goku" has been promoted in all major media."
"Yes, I have listened to it. I just listened to it with Mr. Zhang. The song is very well written and sung very well, especially the voice that says "Call Buddha, there will be no turning back." It really moved me It gave me goosebumps, and the last two lyrics, the dramatic feeling is quite strong, it’s very refreshing to listen to! "
"The song is good. I will help you promote it later. If you write more songs like this in the future, maybe the audience will fall in love with our opera art after listening to it? Hahahaha, you're welcome, you're welcome, we are all our own!"
"It's okay, well, speaking of it, we are also the beneficiaries. Today's young people like new and interesting things. We have also reflected on it. If we force them to listen to our opera, many people will not want to listen. I think it’s too cliche, so now we need something innovative in it so that they will be attracted.”
"You can't force a cow to drink water. You have to adapt and guide it appropriately. Once you are attracted, you will naturally pursue and study it actively. We just hope that your work can achieve such an effect."
"Keep up the good work, haha, keep up the good work! Well, this is what Mr. Zhang hopes for you. Come on, Xiao Jiang, create more songs like this in the future, we all like to listen, hahahaha! Well, okay, okay, bye, bye .”
After hanging up the phone, Liu Dehou winked at Mr. Zhang.
"Haha, this Xiao Jiang seems to have kept our affairs in mind. There are not many such sensible and outstanding young people nowadays. Let's help him if we can help him in the future."
Mr. Zhang also nodded with satisfaction. The young man still remembered to call and tell him, which made him very satisfied. .z.br>
…
Yangcheng, Xinghai Entertainment Branch.
In the conference room outside the composition department office, several high-level people who looked very respectable were having a friendly exchange of words.
"Master Xu, Xinghai Music very much welcomes you to join us. With you as the Taishan Beidou in the composing world, our Xinghai Entertainment Yangcheng Branch will definitely be able to turn around again and regain the top spot in music production in the Xianan region!"
A middle-aged executive with slightly bald hair smiled and held the hands of a handsome middle-aged man with long braids, and welcomed him in an affectionate tone.
"Haha, thanks to your company's high opinion, I, Mr. Xu, will definitely do my best for the company."
While Xu Zhongsheng said polite words with a smile on his face, he calmly took out his hands from his fat hands and wiped them on his thighs and trousers under the table.
"Haha, this time our Xinghai Yangcheng branch is fortunate to have Master Xu join us. It can be said that it is the right time, place and right combination of people. Master Xu himself is also a Yangcheng native. This time he returned to China from living abroad. The first choice to join us is our Xinghai. It’s really a rare fate!”
Another female executive from Xinghai Entertainment adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and said polite words with a smile. As one of the heads of the composition department of Xinghai Yangcheng Branch, she has had enough of this period. The competition from Feiyang Entertainment made Zhengchou extremely irritated by the competition among his subordinates, when he suddenly received the news that Xu Zhongsheng had returned to China.
So she immediately reported to the head of the branch, the fat middle-aged man with a slightly bald head, and organized a lobbying group at lightning speed. From the airport pick-up, she was attentive to the reception, cleaning up the dust, and arranging accommodation. , provide life assistants...
He insisted on serving Xu Zhongsheng properly, which made him have a very good impression of Xinghai Entertainment, who originally planned to take a break after returning to China. He even thought, "They are so polite to me, do you want to go and see them?" Curiosity comes.
Just out of curiosity, the eager Xinghai Entertainment seized the opportunity. Then there was a full set of enthusiastic introductions, visits and cake drawings to make wishes. They finally got what they wanted and allowed Xu Zhongsheng to stay with them. They signed a composer contract at the highest level.
The contract stipulates that Xu Zhongsheng and Xinghai are not affiliated, but cooperative. They do not have to work in Xinghai Company, but Xinghai pays him a basic annual salary of 5 million yuan. Within one year, Xu must produce 5 A-level songs for Xinghai. 5 B-level songs.
For each A-level song, Xinghai will pay Xu Zhongsheng an additional composing fee of 1 to 2 million yuan, and for each B-level song, Xinghai will pay an additional composing fee of 500,000 to 1 million yuan.
And for each song, Xu Zhongsheng will receive a 25% permanent sales commission after release.
Of course, if Xu makes an S-level song for Xinghai during this period, Xinghai will be paid at the price of 5 million per song, and Xu can permanently receive 15% of the subsequent sales revenue of the song as a commission.
"Haha, I am also very grateful to Xinghai Entertainment for valuing my talents so much. Please rest assured that I will never let you down."
Because he signed a lucrative contract, Xu Zhongsheng was in a very comfortable mood at this time.
After all, all of his previous wealth was placed overseas. This time he returned to China because he wanted to return to his roots, but at the same time, he had not yet had time to dispose of all his overseas assets, and he did not have his own residence in Yangcheng.
I only had a few hundred thousand meters of working capital on hand, and it would take some time to buy a decent residence that suited my status in an international metropolis like Yangcheng.
Who would have thought that Xinghai Entertainment would be so generous? Not only did they sign such a large contract, they were also willing to pay the first year's fees in advance.
The guaranteed minimum salary allowed him to buy a new house in a high-end community along the Pearl River as his first property after returning to China.
"Oh, by the way, because I have been developing abroad before, I am not particularly concerned about the current situation of domestic song development. I wonder how the domestic music forces are distributed recently. Are there any talented composers who have suddenly emerged that we should pay attention to or take precautions against? of?"
After a while of pleasantries, Xu Zhongsheng gradually led the topic to the second direction he wanted to know today.
When he visited the Xinghai Yangcheng branch before, he kept hearing the employees around him talking about a person's name.
He seemed to be a composer who had become famous recently.
This person seems to have strong creative ability, and he also has a good voice, and the singing he sings is the sound of nature.
Not only did he quickly become famous with widely sung songs such as "Someone Like Me", "The Wind Rises" and "Chengdu" at the beginning of his debut, he became a talented singer-songwriter well known to the nation.
And later, he joined this year's Xia Kingdom's number one music variety show "Xia Kingdom's Good Singer", winning in a row in an extremely shocking manner. In the end, he even beat international superstar Janice and Xia Kingdom's queen singer Zhao Yu to win Won the annual championship of this year's "Good Singer"!
Then this person took the opportunity to win the championship and transferred to the Yangcheng branch of Feiyang Entertainment. He single-handedly challenged the major entertainment companies in Yangcheng and took on the song customization business of a company that had been seriously poached and poorly managed and was about to go bankrupt. , not only turned the tide and saved the company from bankruptcy, but even released good songs one after another, helping them to resurrect themselves from the desperate situation and once again launch a powerful challenge to the top spot of Yangcheng music power!
What kind of genius composer is this?
What kind of talented singer is he?
I was recruited so eagerly by Feiyang Entertainment this time and was treated with such courtesy. Was it because I wanted to be their pioneer and compete with this middle-aged man they mentioned again and again?
"Haha, maybe he is just a junior with better luck. He has only been in the industry for half a year, how strong can he be?"
