"When you encounter a song with a long main melody, you can break it down into several small sections, which we often call phrases. Each phrase will be played slightly differently, such as this one..."
The next morning.
Composition Department Professional Course.
Lin Yuan listened to the teacher's explanation while taking notes in his notebook.
Although the original owner transferred from the vocal music department to the composition department, and his talent for composition was not very high, all fields related to music were within the original owner's interest range.
And Lin Yuan is now as interested in music as the original owner.
He doesn't want to come up with a bunch of songs in the future and end up not being able to recognize the musical notation.
But Lin Yuan didn't expect that taking professional courses seriously would actually bring him unexpected gains -
Suddenly, a reminder sounded beside his ears: "Ding Dong, it is detected that the host is learning composition knowledge, triggering the novice task."
Immediately following.
In front of Lin Yuan's eyes, several lines of glowing blue characters appeared:
Task name: The student's task is to learn
Task content: In the next college professional course exam, the total score is among the top 25 in the class
Mission Reward: Get a bronze treasure chest
This novice mission came quite abruptly, but Lin Yuan was not too surprised.
Is a system still a system if it doesn’t issue tasks
Then he considered the difficulty of this task:
The Composition Department of Qinzhou Conservatory of Music alone has ten classes, each with about fifty students, and Lin Yuan's class has exactly fifty students.
But this has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.
Because he doesn't need to compare with students in other classes.
The novice task only requires Lin Yuan to be in the top 25 in the class in the next exam.
This is not a big problem for Lin Yuan.
Because Lin Yuan usually ranks around 30th in the class in professional courses, as long as he works a little harder, he should be able to get into the top 25 in the class.
"What happens if the mission fails?"
Lin Yuan asked the system curiously: "Will I be electrocuted by the system? Or will I be wiped out by the system? Wait!"
Lin Yuan's face changed slightly: "You're not going to deduct money, are you? No way, no way, no way?"
System's first rule: Never harm the host
In addition, friendly reminder: electric shock, annihilation, each one is more terrible than deducting money, please distinguish the primary from the secondary.
"Just don't deduct money."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he suddenly realized that even if the system wanted to deduct money, he had no money to deduct...
This discovery made him somewhat disappointed.
…
After class.
Lin Yuan did not return to the dormitory, but found a quiet place, took out a number from his phone and dialed it. The note on the number was:
"Agent Zhao Yu".
The phone rang twice and then was connected.
On the other end of the line, there was a tired female voice: "Lin Yuan? What can I do for you?"
Lin Yuan said: "I have a song I want to release."
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became excited: "Want to release a song? Has your voice recovered? Can you sing again?"
"no."
Lin Yuan said: "I have transferred from the vocal music department to the composition department. I have a song in my hand recently. I want to see if the company can help me find a singer to sing it and publish it?"
“I see.”
Zhao Jue was a little disappointed, and his voice became low again: "You also want to participate in the new singer season in November, right?"
"Yes."
"I have to remind you that you are a singer signed by our Xingmang Entertainment, not a songwriter signed by the company. The company has a songwriting department that specializes in connecting with singers, and most singers also have their own songwriters..." Zhao Jue refused very tactfully.
Lin Yuan did not give up: "Then can I transfer to the songwriting department now?"
He really needs the company's distribution channels.
Without the promotional resources provided by the company, even an excellent song can easily fall into oblivion. The newcomers who have emerged in previous rookie seasons all have the support of entertainment company resources.
"cannot!"
Zhao Jue refused outright.
The air was quiet for about ten seconds. Zhao Jue suddenly sighed and said helplessly, "Forget it. Use the company's internal channels to encrypt the song and send it to me. If the quality is okay, I'll find someone to help you send it. Of course, if the quality is not good, let's just pretend that it never happened."
"Thanks."
Lin Yuan thanked him sincerely.
Zhao Jue was the one who signed Lin Yuan in the first place. She once had high hopes for Lin Yuan, but unfortunately something happened to Lin Yuan's voice and he lost his value.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Jue was still willing to help Lin Yuan, which was already a great favor.
"That's it, I'm hanging up."
Zhao Jue hung up the phone in annoyance.
…
Zhao Jue's irritability was not directed at Lin Yuan, but it originated from Lin Yuan.
Also because next month is the new singer season, Zhao Jue has too much to do.
There are several newly signed new players under my command who will try to make a breakthrough during the annual rookie season.
Originally, Lin Yuan should have been one of this group of newcomers.
Zhao Jue even wanted to invite some of the company's biggest songwriters to help Lin Yuan create a few songs tailored for him, so that Lin Yuan could make a splash in the rookie season, because Lin Yuan's vocal talent is truly amazing.
The result was not as expected.
"Since being a singer doesn't work out, you want to switch to songwriting?"
Zhao Jue smiled bitterly and shook his head. If creation was so simple, why didn’t some superstars write their own songs, but instead hired professional lyricists and composers to write for them
Don't they want to
It’s because they can’t write good songs that the audience likes to hear.
In today's era, the status of a song's composer is much higher than that of the singer, especially in the current pragmatic industry ecology.
The composer is the big daddy!
Because if a company has a great composer, it can support a bunch of singers.
In fact, in recent years, listeners have begun to pay more and more attention to the names of composers.
Apparently the public has also begun to realize that composition is the soul of a song, and singing comes second!
Although other parts such as lyrics and arrangement are also very important, the most important thing is composition, which is definitely more important than singing.
Good song, it sounds good with any instrument!
No matter whether you want to play guitar, piano, bass or oboe, if you meet someone who loves to play, you can also play suona to great effect with the help of music.
"This child is also a poor person."
Recalling some past events, Zhao Jue sighed.
When Lin Yuan was hospitalized, Zhao Jue, as the agent who signed Lin Yuan, actually went to see him, but she finally stopped at the door of the ward.
Because she could hear the hoarse and sobbing cries coming from the ward through the door. That sound was like a wounded puppy...
Everyone has compassion.
This is why Zhao Jue is willing to help Lin Yuan.
Regardless of success or failure, at least give the child a chance, so that the child knows that in this world, many things cannot be successful just by assuming they will.
"But you have done me a disservice."
Zhao Jue sighed, and sadness crept onto her face. This was the source of her irritability.
The annual new music talent season is when major companies promote new talents.
During this period, major companies were engaged in fierce fighting.
Even if we look at the eight continents, Star Entertainment is a well-known company.
In Qinzhou, Xingmang Entertainment's comprehensive strength can be ranked among the top three!
However, Star Entertainment has performed poorly in the rookie season for three consecutive years.
The best performance of the company in the past three years was when it launched two newcomers that made it into the top ten two years ago, and they were both ranked at the bottom of the list, like ninth or tenth...
Compared with companies of the same level, it is a bit shabby.
What made Xingmang most angry was that the company's arch-rival, Shahai Culture, occupied four seats in the top ten list of the rookie season last year.
The four seats also include the second and third places, which are very valuable.
This made Xingmang's top executives collectively unable to raise their heads. After all, the major entertainment companies in Qinzhou were not on good terms with each other, so the top executives naturally put pressure on the company's chief agent Zhao Jue.
Zhao Jue was forced to make a military order in front of all the senior officials:
This year's rookie season will definitely produce a top three!
If she couldn't do it, she would ask for a demotion.
The reason why Zhao Jue dared to issue a military order was not only because of the pressure from the top leaders, but also because Zhao Jue had just signed Lin Yuan, a young man whose voice amazed her, and was full of confidence and ready to do something big.
She felt that Lin Yuan could help her complete this task.
But now Lin Yuan’s voice is ruined, but the military order has not been invalidated.
The top management only cares about the results and doesn’t care what happens in the process.
Therefore, Zhao Jue has been frantically looking for someone who can replace Lin Yuan and help him fulfill his military order. For this purpose, he has reported nine new people in a row.
But Zhao Jue was also very clear in his heart.
The nine newcomers she has already reported still have a hope of making it into the top 20, but if they want to make it into the top 10, that will depend on luck.
Want to break into the top five or even top three
Just go to bed, you can dream about anything.
The company's resources can allocate ten places, but now there is only one place left, but Zhao Jue still has not found someone to replace Lin Yuan.
She was already in a state of semi-giving up.
That's why she finally agreed to Lin Yuan.
Anyway, it’s the last spot. If the quality of the song written by Lin Yuan is just barely acceptable, why not satisfy that poor child
Just at this moment.
Her cell phone rang.
This is the notification sound of the mailbox, which is sent encrypted through the company's internal channels. The sender is Lin Yuan.
Open your mailbox.
After Zhao Jue decrypted it, he saw the audio file sent by Lin Yuan, titled: "Born Like a Summer Flower".
Live like a summer flower
Zhao Jue didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but he could vaguely associate it with some imagery.
She put on her headphones and clicked play.
Immersed in the music, I finished the song quickly.
Zhao Jue's expression was a little surprised and shocked.
Unlike those rough demos, the song Lin Yuan sent was very complete. Not only was the melody very complete, but even the arrangement was already done.
This is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.
The singing part is pure humming, the sound synthesized by a machine.
But compared with the general machine-synthesized sound, this sound is less rigid and seems quite natural.
However, Zhao Jue could judge from experience that this emotionless humming tune would be very interesting if it were replaced by human voice.
“Interesting.”
Zhao Jue is an agent.
She may have only a vague understanding of composing music, but after years of immersion in the industry, her basic judgment is pretty good.
Her eyes were shining slightly, and she felt that "Born Like a Summer Flower" might be a very good song, because she was already a little attracted to it, even though the song currently only had the melody and synthesized humming.
“Does this guy really have a talent for composing music?”
Raising his eyebrows, Zhao Jue made three calls in a row.
The first call was to the review department: "I have a song here, please review it, please expedite it, and give me the result by evening."
This is a necessary level.
The technical review is to prevent the melody of Lin Yuan's "Born Like Summer Flowers" from being too similar to other songs on the market, which would be suspected of plagiarism. If there is a problem, it will be a serious blow to the company's reputation.
The second call was made to his agent.
As the lead singer, Zhao Jue's voice was full of determination and resolution: "We're recording tonight. This is the last spot for the rookie season. Give me someone reliable. Don't make it too hard on the sound engineer."
The newcomer whose voice is not top-notch is just fine to Zhao Jue.
It's nothing more than the company's sound engineer having to work overtime.
The third call was to Lin Yuan. Her tone was the softest, far less powerful than the first two calls: "When does get out of class end today? I'll pick you up at your school and we'll record a song."
"good."
Lin Yuan replied.
The tone seemed... not surprising
