Seven Star Entertainment.
As one of the most well-known entertainment companies in Qizhou, Qixing is of the same scale as Lei Ting. Shui Yun and her team met in an exclusive lounge on the 12th floor of the company.
"Sister Yun."
Shui Yun's agent, as the representative of her team, smiled and said, "After our company issued a three million competitive order, the efficiency of these parties was quite high, and the custom songs were basically completed."
"Where are Hongyue and Lone Wolf?"
Shuiyun values these two companies more.
The agent said, "Lone Wolf Productions finished the work last week. Red Moon was a little slower, but they sent the complete song yesterday. If a company of their level is willing to concentrate, it should be no problem to complete an order in two months. It turns out that they still attach great importance to this order. Which one do you plan to listen to first?"
Shui Yun said: "Lone wolf."
The agent nodded and played Lone Wolf’s work.
This is a relatively complete work, including lyrics and arrangement. In addition, Lone Wolf also specially found a singer whose voice is similar to Shuiyun's to record this demo, so that Shuiyun can feel the effect of the song to the greatest extent.
Let me explain this briefly.
A good second party will be responsible for both composition and arrangement, and lyric writing is just a side project.
As for the difference between composition and arrangement, there are deviations in the judging standards in China and internationally.
What is called a composer internationally actually refers to a big shot who can compose and arrange music, which is Lin Yuan’s model.
Of course, this is the international academic view.
The traditional view in China is that:
Composing music is creating a person, while arranging music is dressing up this person.
The two have a division of labor...
Blue Star lies somewhere between these two philosophies.
Most composers are willing to participate in arranging and even writing lyrics, but if Party A feels that it is not suitable, then they have to re-arrange the music and write the lyrics, using only the melody part sung by the human voice.
However, Lone Wolf is a company that ranks high on the list after all.
The works they sent, whether composition, arrangement, or even lyrics, were all very good.
After listening to this, many people in the team showed satisfied expressions.
Shui Yun didn't say anything and asked her agent to release Hong Yue's work.
After hearing this, Shuiyun’s team was in a dilemma.
Because Hong Yue's works are also very good, although they are not as comprehensive as Lone Wolf, who have not even prepared the arrangement, lyrics and singing, but the vocal melody is worthy of recognition.
"Let me tell you the conclusion first."
Shui Yun said, "The song Lone Wolf is very similar to my last work. It can be said that it was tailor-made for me. But the problem is that I want to make a breakthrough. Compared with my previous works, this song doesn't have much breakthrough."
Everyone nodded.
Shui Yun continued, "Then let's talk about Hong Yue's music. Hong Yue's problem is the opposite of Lone Wolf's. That is, Hong Yue's breakthrough is too big. She boldly added a rap segment. I don't object to rap, but I personally prefer melodic rap..."
"So how do we choose?"
The agent asked tentatively.
Shui Yun thought for a moment and then said, "Aren't there three more? Have they sent it?"
"Um… "
The agent pondered for a moment, opened his email, and raised his eyebrows and said, "The remaining three companies have also sent their works, but these three are basically just runners-up. Sister Yun should know the reason."
"Then listen to it, too."
Shui Yun waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Give me the headphones. I'll continue listening to the rest of the songs. You guys can discuss first whether to choose Lone Wolf or Red Moon."
The agent nodded.
Shuiyun sat alone in a corner, turned up the volume of her headphones, and slowly listened to the song, while Shuiyun's team started a discussion.
"Choose the lone wolf."
Someone said, "Lone Wolf's work is the safest. We can ask Lone Wolf to make some minor changes."
“Lone Wolf is too conservative.”
Someone shook his head and said, "And since you mentioned modification, why don't we choose Hong Yue's song? Hong Yue's song is obviously a breakthrough. Although the rap section is a bit bold, we just need to change the rap part into a melodic rap."
"You think too simply."
Someone in the team who knows music shook his head and said, "It's hard to change the rap part of this song, because this song can only be best achieved with this kind of rap. If it's changed to melody rap, the flavor will change."
"Anyway, I think Red Moon is good."
"Lone Wolf is a foolproof song."
“There is no such thing as a foolproof work…”
The team was clearly divided into two factions, and the opinions of the two factions were completely contradictory. After arguing for a while, someone finally showed a helpless expression and looked at the agent and said:
"Can I have both?"
The manager held his forehead and said, "You are dreaming too much. This is a three million song order. If you want two songs, the company will have to pay a full six million. Do you think the manager will agree?"
Everyone curled their lips.
Soon, a new round of debate within the team began. As the two sides fought back and forth, they were about to argue with each other after ten minutes. The manager was overwhelmed by what he heard: "Forget it, there will be no result if we continue to argue like this. Stop arguing one by one and let Sister Yun decide for herself!"
"Red Moon."
"Lone Wolf."
Everyone continued to argue for a few more sentences until the agent's face turned completely black, and then he stopped arguing awkwardly, with a look of unwillingness on his face.
"Sister Yun?"
The agent looked at Shuiyun.
I don’t know if Shuiyun’s headphones were turned up too loud, she didn’t hear her agent’s voice, she just leaned sideways, looking like she was enjoying the music with her whole body, even shaking her legs rhythmically…
"Sister Yun?"
The agent raised his voice.
Shui Yun still pretended not to hear anything.
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't think that Sister Yun was concentrating on listening to the music. They just suspected that Sister Yun was a little upset because everyone had just quarreled so loudly
"Sister Yun!"
The agent came up to Shuiyun.
Shui Yun seemed to come back to her senses from the music after seeing her agent's big face. She stood up suddenly, which scared everyone in the team. They didn't know why Shui Yun reacted so strongly.
"I have made a decision!"
Shuiyun's tone was extremely light.
Upon hearing this, everyone stared at Shui Yun. The agent also stared at Shui Yun, feeling a little nervous, wondering whether Shui Yun would choose Hong Yue or Lone Wolf in the end.
It is not a red moon.
Not a lone wolf either.
Shui Yun took off her left earphone and said four words without any hesitation:
"Starlight Music!"
At this moment, many people were wondering if they had heard it wrong, and they were all stunned on the spot. The agent even subconsciously thought about it, which company is Xingmang Music
