"Teacher Jiang Kan, hahahaha, it's been a long time no see, it's been a long time!" Fang Jingshan was wearing a straight light gray tunic suit, and his hair was combed shiny. As soon as he entered the ward, he stretched out his hands and walked a few steps to hold them tightly. Jiang Kan's hands shook heavily.
"Teacher Fang, you are a rare and distinguished guest. What kind of wind has brought you here today? Please sit down, please sit down!" Fortunately, the other party's shaking was not strong and did not affect his waist and legs, but Jiang Kan also Not daring to be careless, he quickly greeted him to sit down.
"Hi, I've been very busy recently. Otherwise, I should have come to see you, Teacher Jiang. How are you? Are you recovering well?" Fang Jingshan sat on the chair next to him and didn't pour himself any water. He just touched it casually. A white paper fan with landscape paintings on it came out and shook it gently.
"Fortunately, the doctor said that he is recovering well and will be able to go to the ground in a while. However, he will have to sit in a wheelchair for a while to slowly recover and cannot move around." Jiang Kan said with some depression. This period of time really gave him a hard time. He was suffocating in bed. He had never stayed in bed for so long in his life. He already felt like his body was like a rusted machine. He was extremely uncomfortable.
If his legs and feet were healed this time and he could walk on the ground and move around, he would have to play a few games to relax his almost rusty body.
"That's good, that's good. Take good care of your health. Your health is the wealth of our music industry. Don't underestimate it!" As expected of a composer who is accustomed to the world, he speaks at such a high level. After a while, Jiang Kan felt a little embarrassed.
"Teacher Fang, it's rare for you to come here. Do you have something to do with me? You also said on the phone before that this matter must be discussed in person. What is it?" Jiang Kan supported the bed with both hands and adjusted it. Move your body so that you can better face the other person.
"Ahem... Haha, Teacher Jiang is really quick to talk, so I won't hide it anymore... I'm here this time, firstly, to check on your physical condition, Teacher Jiang, and secondly, in fact, there are A gracious invitation." After fanning himself a few times to enjoy the refreshing air from the air conditioner, Fang Jingshan thought about his words and then directly told the whole story of his visit.
"Oh? Teacher Fang, you are a veteran in the field of domestic composition. If you have any mercy, just say it. As long as I can help, I will not refuse!" The other party came to the door so solemnly, It would definitely not be for some trivial matter, Jiang Kan was already mentally prepared.
"Haha, it's nothing else. I just wrote a song recently. The topic feels very good, but there are a few parts in it that don't feel particularly appropriate..."
"It just so happens that Mr. Jiang, you are also an expert in composing music. Can you please help me to see if it is suitable and how to modify it?" Fang Jingshan put his hand into his arms and took out a bag of music from the inner pocket of his clothes. Zhang folded the A4 paper several times, stood up and handed it to Jiang Kan.
"Oh? You wrote the song yourself, and you want me to help revise it?" Jiang Kan was a little surprised. Fang Jingshan is 45 years old. He debuted more than 20 years ago and is one of the leading composers in the country... I don't know if he can Will there be any obstacles that are difficult to overcome in the creation of songs? Even if they do encounter them, they won’t come to find themselves, a newcomer who has just emerged in less than a year, right?
He opened the folded A4 paper in confusion and looked at it curiously. There is nothing on it, just an ordinary white paper!
"Teacher Fang, what are you..." Jiang Kan raised his head curiously and looked at Fang Jingshan, full of doubts.
"Haha, that's what happened. In fact, some time ago, a drama company from Fuso Kingdom found me and asked me to help them write the theme song for an animated series. I was busy at the time, so I declined them politely. ." Fang Jingshan scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. It could be seen that he was still a little embarrassed when talking about this matter, and he didn't know what kind of trouble he had encountered.
"So that company stopped contacting me and turned to other songwriters to help them write songs." He paused and continued.
"Originally, this matter was settled here, and we should have nothing to do with each other later. But some time ago, one of my cousins mentioned her son, who is also my cousin, and has been talking about it. Studying abroad in Fuso Country, specializing in animation production."
"My nephew is about to graduate recently and has been sending out resumes everywhere. Among them, the one he values the most happens to be the animation company I mentioned before that declined to write songs for them."
"Then my cousin knew that I occasionally dealt with some animation companies in Fuso Country, so she contacted me and asked me if there was any way I could help him make connections... Do you think this was a coincidence? Someone asking for help. Suddenly he became the one being begged for, and the person being begged for became the one who needed to beg for help." Fang Jingshan had a self-deprecating smile on his face, and shook the fan in his hand faster and faster.
"If I had agreed to help them write songs, I would naturally have the nerve to help recommend them. No matter what, I would definitely have a little more advantage than other competitors, but I just refused this opportunity..."
"So when I bit the bullet and approached them again, they said that they had changed their minds. Their partners had raised their requirements for the quality of the songs and were planning to find the composer who originally composed "City on the Clouds" The Xia Kingdom composer from "Castle in the Sky" came to compose music for their new animated series!" He spread his hands and showed a helpless smile on his face.
"'City in the Sky'? Isn't that the song I wrote? Why, are they coming to find me?" Jiang Kan curiously lowered his head and glanced at the white paper in his hand, and suddenly understood what the other party meant.
"But, they came to me directly, so what does it have to do with you, Teacher Fang?" He tried to use a gentler tone, choosing his words carefully, trying not to hurt the other person's face. .
"Haha, this matter... I actually said it because I was thick-skinned, because when I asked about it, the other party mentioned this matter, but also mentioned that their company is a relatively small company and has not had much dealings with our Xia Guo. I don’t know you, Teacher Jiang Kan.”
"Then I was helpless at the time, so I mentioned it to them. I know the person you are looking for and can help you connect." Fang Jingshan mockingly patted his forehead with a fan, maybe using it to cover his face. He had an embarrassed smile on his face. Originally, someone from the other side was also a famous music player in the Xia Kingdom for more than 20 years...but he was accidentally slapped in the face by a foreigner, and the slap in the face was not taken by him on his own initiative. Yes, it was because he stuck his face out and had people beat him up. They thought his level and reputation were low, so they wanted to find a newcomer who had only been in the industry for less than a year to help them write songs!
No matter where this matter is mentioned, Fang Jingshan will always laugh at him for not knowing what is good and what is good. He misses the opportunity and wants to go back to make up for it. He has to borrow other people's face to do things for him... But after all, he is his relative and cousin. He has been kind to himself since he was a child, and he has never asked his famous cousin for anything.
This time it was a coincidence that something like this happened. Fang Jingshan felt that he had to bow his head if he could not lower his head. Not long ago, he was a judge for someone else. You see what happened.
So he didn't tell anyone about this matter, not even Jiang Kan's manager Zhang Lingling. Instead, he directly called Jiang Kan and then came to the door without permission. To be honest, this matter was really a bit confusing. Absurdly, in normal times, he would never come to ask for help rashly like this.
"They also agreed that if I can get in touch with you and help them compose a theme song for an anime series, they will definitely arrange an internship for my nephew..."
"So, I have no choice but to come and visit you with this old face to see if you can help me compose a song for them... This is a big favor that I owe you, and I will definitely repay you generously if I have the opportunity in the future!" Fang Jingshan, who had a look of confusion on his old face, stood up. He was unwilling but had to bow to Jiang Kan respectfully.
What's the matter? I am obviously the music father that the singers in China want, but due to some national conditions, I have to ask for help from another composer. Although the other composer is indeed very good, he is only a composer after all. Just a newcomer, alas...
"Hey, Teacher Fang, what are you saying? Please sit down. Sit down. You are a senior figure in our Xia country's composition industry. It is my honor to be able to help you. I am not happy enough. You are really shameful. Me!" Jiang Kan was also a little confused. He didn't expect the other party to come here at all. Fortunately, the special care ward has always been strictly managed and there was no one else in the room. Otherwise, if a little bit of news leaked out, he would be included in the media reports tomorrow. He will become an arrogant and domineering person who is heinous and does not know how to respect his elders!
If he hadn't been injured in his leg and couldn't get off the ground, Gao Lu would have had to hold the opponent's hand and pull him up!
"Hey, are you breaking it? Not at all. Teacher Jiang Kan's achievements this year are obvious to all. The first song is a shocking and enviable masterpiece. I, the old man, have been composing music for so many years, but I have never seen it before. Teacher Jiang is such a prolific and high-quality composer..." The person carrying the sedan chair was so polite to him, and Fang Jingshan did not hesitate to say some nice things. He only plucked up the courage to come because there would be no third person in the special care ward. By visiting, firstly, no one will see his embarrassment in asking for help; secondly, no one will see him paying homage to a new person, causing the other person to be criticized and scolded by public opinion.
"Teacher Fang, you are so polite. We are all in our forties and have long understood that not everything in this world can be smooth sailing. Everyone needs help from others. You are doing it for your own benefit. I admire Jiang Kan for his emphasis on family ties and his concern for family members." After such a long period of social training, Jiang Kan has become more and more talkative, and Zhang Lingling occasionally talks to him. We exchanged some speaking skills for dealing with people. Occasionally, Jiang Kan himself would feel a little embarrassed. If he had been so worldly and well-spoken when he was in the IT company, he probably wouldn’t have had the bad things that happened later...
"So, will you help me with this?" Fang Jingshan withdrew his saluting hand, and straightened his waist slightly when he bowed.
"Hey, what are you talking about? You said this is related to your nephew's work abroad. Can I not help? Please sit down, please sit down!" The next conversation became more relaxed, Fang Jingshan After asking Jiang Kan not to tell anyone about this matter, he forwarded the relevant animation materials and song requirements of the animation company in Fuso Country to Jiang Kan via email.
Jiang Kan also agreed to him. Later, he could contact the company to propose a contract invitation to his agent Zhang Lingling, and Fang Jingshan would be able to complete the matchmaking process.
"Hey, I thought I would meet a soft top and at least be ridiculed by him. I didn't expect this guy to be such a humble and polite person. He is completely different from the people I know who accidentally wrote one or two good songs. Young people who just turn their nostrils upward and become arrogant once they succeed are different!" When Fang Jingshan left the special care ward with a feeling of relief and shame, he sighed in his heart as he walked.
The composing industry is a great test of one's talent. Whether a person is suitable for this job, whether he or she is talented or not, can actually be seen from his performance when he first enters the industry.
People with good talent, even if what they write is very immature, it is still quite bright and talented.
After a long period of practice, they will stand out from the crowd, become a blockbuster, and become a composer that everyone envies.
As for people with poor talent, no matter how hard they work and practice... although this is not the case for everyone, the songs they write will always be less spiritual, less outstanding and less impressive.
Generally speaking, talented geniuses are arrogant. Before he went here, he was already prepared to be ridiculed by Jiang Kan. After all, he has been famous in the world for more than 20 years, and he is just a newbie in the industry. For a newcomer who is less than a year old, others want his songs instead of his songs. This is simply a great humiliation in the eyes of others.
But Jiang Kan didn't look down on him as much as he thought. Perhaps the ups and downs of his forty-year-old life had tempered his temperament. Fang Jingshan didn't see a trace of disdain or ridicule on the other person's face, but What he said was also sincere and sincere.
"Jiang Kan has great potential!" When Fang Jingshan walked out of the hospital door, he couldn't help but look back.
"If he can maintain such a humble spirit, with his talent, he will grow into an Optimus Pillar in our Xia Kingdom and even the world within five years!" Thanks to losai98 for the 500-point reward.
I have also been reading books by other writers recently, but the more I read, the more I feel more and more irritating. There are too many pretentious and slap-in-the-face parts, which makes me feel stuffy and stuffy... I was thinking, if there is nothing in my book, Would people think it was good or bad to write such a pretense as a slap in the face?
