A good group was almost ruined by Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing—
Anyway, after Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing finished their conversation, the group was silent for two hours.
Not just within the group.
Even within the department, many people would steal a glance at Lin Yuan from time to time with strange looks in their eyes.
Obviously these people are also members of the Xingmang Composition Group, and they all saw Lin Yuan’s speech in the group.
"You have offended a lot of people unknowingly."
Wu Yong couldn't help but kindly remind Lin Yuan.
Although he thought Lin Yuan's way of speaking in the group was a little inappropriate, after seeing how seriously he typed, he didn't think Lin Yuan was deliberately trying to attract attention.
"Why?"
Lin Yuan was a little confused.
Faced with Lin Yuan's confusion, Wu Yong didn't know how to explain it. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Maybe many people will not like the way you talk to Sister Jing."
"Why?"
Lin Yuan still didn’t understand.
Wu Yong could only spread his hands helplessly: "I can only say that it's because you are different from others."
"oh."
This time Lin Yuan did not ask any more questions, although he still couldn't understand why being different from others would offend others.
"It's not a big deal. At least in our composition department on the ninth floor, everyone is very friendly to you." Wu Yong was afraid that Lin Yuan's mentality would be affected, so he comforted him, "Besides, we are all artists, we don't have so many tricks, and we won't trip someone up just because we don't like them. You work hard, and you can write a song like "Born Like Summer Flowers" when you are still a sophomore. It shows that you have great potential! When you write a good song in the future, everyone will understand you. In Blue Star, in any industry, results speak for themselves."
"good."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Seeing that Lin Yuan's mentality was not affected too much, Wu Yong felt relieved.
However, although he comforted Lin Yuan, he knew very well in his heart that a song of the level of "Born Like a Summer Flower" was not easy to write.
Everyone has a flash of inspiration.
It’s hard to say when Lin Yuan will be able to write a song of this level again.
In fact, Lin Yuan may never be able to write a better song than "Born Like Summer Flowers" in his entire life. This song will become Lin Yuan's only representative work, which is also a common phenomenon in the industry.
If that is the case, ranking first on the Newcomer List will be the highlight of Lin Yuan’s composing career.
Just at this moment.
Lao Zhou suddenly walked in from outside, his face looked a little ugly, and his voice was also filled with anger: "All of you, put down what you are doing immediately and go to the conference room for a meeting!"
After saying that, Lao Zhou took the lead and entered the meeting room next door. The sound of the door slamming was quite loud.
"What's going on?"
"Who made the boss unhappy?"
"Could it be that Lin Yuan said in the group..."
"I don't know. Anyway, I rarely see the boss in such a bad mood."
"Although Lin Yuan's comments in the group were inappropriate, it didn't go that far, did it? He's still a sophomore, so it's normal for him to lack the experience of social skills."
"That's true."
"Don't think about it, just go in and have a meeting."
The sound of chairs rubbing against the ground was heard, and the people in the composition department stood up one after another and followed Lao Zhou into the meeting room.
Lin Yuan also followed into the meeting room.
However, some people were worried that Lao Zhou's anger was due to Lin Yuan's recent speech in the group. In order to avoid being implicated, no one was willing to sit around Lin Yuan.
Wu Yong hesitated for a moment and sat to the left of Lin Yuan.
Then, a man with long hair sat to the right of Lin Yuan and took the initiative to extend his hand to Lin Yuan: "My name is Zheng Han, a graduate of the 20th class of the Composition Department of Qinzhou Art College."
"Hello, Senior."
Lin Yuan politely shook hands with the other party. Although he didn't say much, he could still notice some details.
"Is everyone here?"
Lao Zhou said in a deep voice: "I called you here to tell you something. The soundtrack for "Dragon Dance of Fish" has been returned."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned.
It seems that Lao Zhou’s anger has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.
"Tell me, what should we do?"
Old Zhou scanned the entire room with a sharp look.
No one dared to look Lao Zhou in the eye, but since Lao Zhou was asking questions, they couldn't play dead, so they could only avoid Lao Zhou's gaze and express their own opinions:
"Boss, aren't the requirements for the songs in "Dragon Dance of the Fish" too high? They don't have any top-tier investment, it's just a medium-budget animated film."
"Is this the fourteenth time they have returned our Xingmang works?"
"It's so difficult to deal with. Do you want our Xingmang's Qu Dad to take action personally?"
"The problem is that the few Qu Das in the company either have work on hand or are very selective about the works. If they don't have any inspiration after reading the story, they will not accept it."
"If it doesn't work, let them find another company to do it. There are so many talented people in the Qinzhou music circle, such as Shahai and Brilliant Silver Light."
"How could the company agree to this? If the Sea of Sand or Brilliant Silver Light is made, wouldn't it make us, Xing Mang, look incompetent?"
"… "
Lin Yuan looked confused.
He had no idea what everyone was discussing.
Wu Yong was assigned by Lao Zhou to lead Lin Yuan, so he explained: "It's like this, Qizhou has a large-scale animated film called "Dance of the Fish and Dragon", and the post-production is almost done, but now it's still missing a core soundtrack, so they commissioned us to do this soundtrack. As a result, we made fourteen songs for them in a row, and all of them were rejected!"
"The key is ..."
Zheng Han on the right took over the conversation: "These 14 songs that were rejected were all written by our top composers. Although their abilities are not up to Qu Dad's level, their quality is definitely not low. Usually, many big-name singers look for these top composers to work with them."
Lin Yuan understood.
However, Lin Yuan chose to remain silent. He did not think that he could handle Party A, which most departments could not handle.
He has songs in his hands.
But for this kind of designated soundtrack project, the mood of the song must match the atmosphere of the movie. If someone makes a sentimental love movie and you give them a rap or rock song, then no matter how good your song is, it will be useless.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Lao Zhou rubbed his temples with a headache and said, "Let's give it a try. You can all try to compose the soundtrack for "Dragon Dance of Fishes". The deadline is one month. I will send you the requirements of Party A first. Who knows, someone might have some inspiration."
Inspiration is a very mysterious thing.
It doesn’t mean that the songs composed by Qu Die are necessarily the best.
Sometimes, when Qu Dad can’t handle a task, a composer whose performance is not as impressive as Qu Dad may suddenly get inspiration and make a song that satisfies the client.
This kind of thing happens occasionally in the music composition circle.
It’s like Lin Yuan, who is only a sophomore this year, was able to write “Born Like Summer Flowers”.
On the one hand, he has a talent for composing music. On the other hand, it is very likely that Lin Yuan had a good inspiration and seized it appropriately, so he wrote this song.
This is also the reason why Wu Yong believes that Lin Yuan may not be able to write songs of the same level as "Born Like Summer Flowers" in the future.
Because inspiration is a probability event!
Lao Zhou adopted the strategy of casting a wide net, but he really had no other choice. He couldn't really go find a Qu Dad to help him, right
It's not impossible.
But, you have to pay extra!
Maybe the budget for the movie "Dragon Dance of the Fish" is limited. In any case, the current price offered by Qizhou is not worth it for a Mr. Qu.
soon.
Everyone received a piece of paper with the music requirements for "Fish and Dragon Dance" printed on it.
Lin Yuan also received it.
Because of the plot secrets involved, "Dance of the Fish and Dragon" only gives a general overview of the story:
This is a fantasy story. A girl saved a fish many years ago. One day many years later, the girl and her family were in danger. The fish had crossed the dragon gate and became a powerful white dragon. It reunited with the girl...
There are only three requirements for the music.
It needs to be ethereal, have artistic conception, and have beauty.
Just by receiving the request, the conference room was filled with wails.
"Can Party A's requirements be more general? Ethereal, artistic conception, and beauty, aren't these too broad?"
“I didn’t catch anything.”
"And there's too little time, just one month. With my composing speed, I definitely won't be able to catch up."
"For a fantasy story, the music style should be more imaginative?"
"It's a fish and a dragon, it should be like flying in the sky, some oboe is suitable."
"I think it should be more beautiful and sad? Add some bamboo flute elements?"
"Don't worry about it, this question is too difficult, I can't do it."
"These are not the main points! The main point is that we have all listened to the songs that were rejected before! We already had a great feeling for them! But Qizhou still rejected them, which means that we have not yet perfectly achieved the feeling they wanted."
"… "
For composers, it is easy to be ethereal, to create artistic conception, and to feel beauty.
It is not difficult to grasp these three characteristics.
But it is not easy to make a song so good that it can touch people's hearts.
It’s like the other party is asking for a very exciting and passionate song.
Everyone here can probably write very exciting and passionate songs, but this is just a creative direction. Among a thousand exciting and passionate songs, there may be only one or two that can really make people's blood boil when they listen to them.
Lin Yuan's heart moved.
In addition to the piano piece, he now has two songs on hand.
One of them is "Flammable and Explosive". This song is definitely not good because it doesn't fit the mood.
But what about your other song “Big Fish”
The style of this song seems to be somewhat similar to this.
Could it be that the system had anticipated this
While he was thinking, Lin Yuan suddenly heard Wu Yong complaining, "The client in Qizhou is so difficult to deal with! For a mere five million order, do you still want our father Qu to personally take charge? If you can't offer a price that will impress Father Qu, then don't ask for such a high price."
Lin Yuan quickly asked: "What did you just say?"
Wu Yong was stunned: "If you can't offer a price that will impress Father Qu, why don't you ask for less?"
"Previous sentence!"
"Should we let our father Qu take action?"
"One more sentence!"
"Just a five million order..."
It was this sentence that confirmed the information he wanted. Lin Yuan nodded vigorously, then quickly picked up the calculator at hand and pressed a button.
"Return to zero!"
The calculator's small speaker was quite loud and immediately interrupted the wailing of everyone in the conference room. Everyone looked at Lin Yuan at the same time, including the supervisor Lao Zhou.
Lin Yuan did not notice the gazes around him.
His fingers moved rapidly, and the sound of the calculator's small speaker resounded throughout the room:
“5,000,000 times 0.2 times 2 divided by 3 equals 666,6666.666666667.”
The scene was silent.
Only the calculator reports the numbers.
Of course everyone knows what Lin Yuan is planning.
But precisely because they knew this, everyone's eyes were looking strange in the silence.
Divided into more than 660,000
When the report was finished, Lin Yuan happily turned off the calculator, looked up at his supervisor, Lao Zhou, and said word by word:
"I'll take this order."
