"Mr. Fang is the nineteenth and the last person to be invited." You Chuan smiled and looked at Fang Zhao with a serious tone, "But if Mr. Fang has other plans, or thinks that the time is too long If it is urgent, you can also refuse. I forgot to mention that the first draft of the music must be made before March."
When You Chuan spoke, he also observed Fang Zhao's expression. From the moment Fang Zhao came in, he could feel that this young man was different from the others of his age. He was not pretending to be calm, and even looked at the flamingos on their chests. There was only a little bit of surprise in the sign, no intentional concealment, and no intentionally suppressed excitement.
And now, after being told that I can be invited together with well-known masters from other continents to do the soundtrack for the opening animation of the game produced by the famous Flamingo Company, I don't have much excitement. I just sit there and listen carefully. Like just… listening to a presentation.
Listen to the report
You Chuan was taken aback by the metaphor that suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he felt funny again, probably because the schedule was too tight recently, and he was busy sending invitations everywhere, so he had this hallucination. Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, You Chuan looked at Fang Zhao again, only to see Fang Zhao's fingers on his lap beating at will, unable to find the pattern, and Fang Zhao himself... seemed to be distracted.
"Cough!" Duan Qianji, who was next to him, couldn't see it, and he coughed to remind Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao tapped his fingers for a while, then turned to look at You Chuan, "I need to watch the opening animation first."
You Chuan thought to himself: Can you still hear what you just said when you are distracted
"Yes. But Mr. Fang needs to sign a non-disclosure agreement first." Preacher You. Fang Zhao's request is very reasonable. If Fang Zhao hurriedly agrees without watching the clip, then You Chuan will be disappointed.
"I understand the rules."
After the non-disclosure agreement was signed, You handed Fang Zhao a pico projector in the shape of a palm-sized flamingo logo.
The image was projected into the air, and Fang Zhao carefully watched the two-minute opening animation. In fact, calling "animation" is just a customary name passed down from the industry. When he saw this video, Fang Zhao realized that the authenticity was too high, just like it was shot in a real scene. This picture is no better than Silver Wing's annual investment. Bad movie.
When Fang Zhao watched the two-minute opening clip, You Chuan was still observing Fang Zhao, assessing in his heart whether this person was really capable of creating movements of that quality, and whether there was a possibility of continued cooperation.
Fang Zhao looked at it very seriously, and at the same time, his fingers tapped again, not much, and You Chuan couldn't see the pattern.
At the end of the two-minute video clip, Fang Zhao turned his head to preach to You: "Yes, one month is enough."
Everyone else in the room looked at Fang Zhao, and Duan Qianji just wanted to intercept Fang Zhao's words before it was too late. Another Flamingo employee sitting next to You Chuan, Bifu, stared wide-eyed, as if he couldn't believe that Fang Zhao was so confident. Confidence is good, but overconfidence is stupid.
Beaver followed You Chuan to invite eighteen creators, and some of these eighteen creators were a little reluctant when they heard the time limit of "before March", but after watching the opening animation , several of them have given the expression "try their best", which means that they can only do their best, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to create them before March this year. The higher they fly, the more they cherish feathers. If you are satisfied, you will take it out. If you are not satisfied, you would rather give up a great opportunity than let it damage your reputation.
However, Fang Zhao, a creator who ranked last among the nineteen lists, was also the last in status, and was not famous at all, but after watching the opening paragraph, he responded so confidently!
Beaver couldn't help but want to say something, but he was stopped by a look from You Chuan, and he could only swallow the words he was about to say.
"Then, we are waiting for the good news."
You Chuan didn't stay here for long. After leaving, he took Beaver and left directly from the garage on the top floor. There is no obvious flamingo logo in the speeding car that the two of You Chuan drove, and it was low-key and unremarkable. They don't want to let the outside world know yet that the background sound of the opening animation has not been determined when the game is released.
Inside the car, Beaver asked You Chuan inexplicably, "Why don't you ask more? Let's test whether Fang Zhao is really the creator of those three movements, and whether he is really capable of making enough music in more than a month. quality work?"
It’s the end of January now, and making it before March means that basically there is only one month in February. Within a month, how difficult is it to make a piece of music that is enough to match a large-scale game project? , even a novice inside the circle should understand.
You Chuan smiled and shook his head, "Those are meaningless. We don't know Fang Zhao or Yinyi. Everything is speculation, and the answer will be revealed when he passes the work over."
After the two of You Chuan left, Duan Qianji no longer had any scruples: "Fang Zhao, this can't be forced. If you feel unsure, it's still too late to take it back." As long as the two of You Chuan didn't leave Yanzhou, Duan Qianji can stop people first.
"Don't force it. I agreed to accept the invitation because I can guarantee that within a month, I will make a work that I am satisfied with. As for whether they like it or not... I can't guarantee it."
"In addition to the four movements of "A Hundred Years of Destruction", do you still have inspiration to create music of such quality?" Duan Qianji was surprised. Although she is not a composer, she also knows how important inspiration is to creation. At this point in time, the deputy team leader personally went to each continent to issue invitations. It can be seen that the soundtrack of this opening animation is not small.
"Not before, but now."
Duan Qianji looked at Fang Zhao and was silent for two seconds, "Okay, I see."
Fang Zhao went downstairs and continued to stare at the production of the fourth movement. In Duan Qianji's office, an assistant asked with concern and confusion, "Dong Duan, is it okay to hand it over to Fang Zhao?" The quality of the works produced does not meet the requirements of Flamingo. Will Flamingo hate their company
"Do you think that the special personnel of the Flamingo sound effect group are reliable in terms of understanding and selection of music?" Duan Qianji asked.
The assistant was silent, because the question was too simple. Unreliable, can you stay in Flamingo until now? You Chuan also said before that the invitation was sent to Fang Zhao because of the intention of the leader of their sound effect team. Can someone who can mix with the head of the sound effect team of the world's top game maker Flamingo be a brain-dead
Duan Qianji wouldn't really use this to test them, but just told them one thing through this topic:
"As far as I know, You Chuan and the others sent out an urgent invitation this time. There are nineteen producers, but Yanzhou has only one."
In Yanzhou, Yinyi's "Fantasy", Neguang's "Metal Frenzy" and Lushan Shihua's "Fourth Dimension", the ace copyright music studios of the three companies, have all cooperated with Flamingo. Silver Wing was not good at virtual idols before, but as You Chuan said, the various departments of Flamingo Company have different divisions of labor and perform their own duties without interfering with each other. Virtual idols are virtual idols, music is music, and You Chuan is only responsible for music.
On the other hand, after Fang recalled to the department, he didn't mention anything about Flamingo's invitation to him. They don't have high requirements, they just need to work as much as they can to earn money.
Fang Zhao sat in his office, took out a notebook, and began to write music scores, writing down the inspiration that appeared in his mind when he was watching the two-minute video just now.
The first three movements of The Hundred Years of Destruction were composed by Fang Zhao in his previous life. After his rebirth, they were only slightly modified and re-arranged. The fourth movement is a collection of inspirations after his rebirth. And now, these intermittent characters appearing on the paper are a collection of inspirations after he went to the Martyrs' Cemetery today and watched the opening clip given by You Chuan.
After the first draft was written, Fang Zhao continued to reflect on his experience today, especially the Martyrs Cemetery and the two-minute opening scene. The first draft needs to be revised, so Fang Zhao is continuing to look for things that can be changed to make it better.
At this time, Zeng Huang came to look for him.
"Da Zhao, the progress of the fourth movement is very smooth, and it may be completed before the twenty-fifth. You said that as soon as the fourth movement is completed, our department will have a holiday. Wanyue and I will not go back as in previous years. "
The "going back" that Zeng Huang said refers to Yanbei City, their birthplace. After the accident at home that year, the government gave a lot of compensation, and several relatives were greedy for his compensation, but Zeng Huang kept the compensation in his hands. The situation on Wan Yue's side is similar, but the degree is not as severe as Zeng Huang, but Wan Yue also doesn't want to go back. The two of them have never returned to Yanbei City after college.
"Have you come to spend the anniversary with us? Anyway, it's just me and Wan Yue. One more person will be more lively. This year, we will change to a new house, the place is bigger, and the guest room is already prepared." Zeng Huang said.
Fang Sheng betrayed them, and now I don't know where the prison is. Xi Hong also didn't show up after breaking up with Fang Zhao. This year's anniversary, I am afraid that only Fang Zhao will celebrate... No, there is also a dog.
"I won't go to your side." Seeing what Zeng Huang wanted to say, Fang Zhao said first, "I'll go back this year."
"Go back?" Zeng Huang obviously didn't expect Fang Zhao to make this choice, because all of them were in college, and they never went back. At that time, Fang Zhao seemed to be in conflict with his second uncle.
Not knowing the specific situation of Fang Zhao's family, all Zeng Huang heard were Fang Zhao's complaints, so when he heard Fang Zhao say he was going back, Zeng Huang was surprised and suspicious at first.
Fang Zhao didn't say anything, but just called out an email from the bracelet to Zeng Huang to see.
[Second Uncle: Are you coming back on the anniversary this year? (January 20th at 10:23 p.m.)]
[Fang Zhao: Back. (7:02 am on January 21st)]
[Second Uncle: What happened? ! (7:36am on January 21st)]
[Second Uncle: What did you change your communication number to? (7:36am on January 21st)]
[Second Uncle: My number is ******, call me back! (7:37am on January 21st)]
…
Zeng Huang looked at the email messages that were full of pages. Only one of them was Fang Zhao's reply, and the rest were all sent by Fang Zhao's second uncle. He was probably surprised by Fang Zhao's reply. I haven't gone back for more than six years, and every year I get a "no answer" answer. This year, Fang Zhao's second uncle may be ready to receive "no answer" again, but unexpectedly, the word "no" is missing!
This, this... This must have happened!
This was the first thought of Uncle Fang Zhao, so he hurried to ask.
"You haven't spoken to your second uncle yet?" Zeng Huang thought that Fang Zhao was deliberately not wanting to answer.
However, Fang Zhao really forgot. This morning, he had just settled the issue of Pang Pusong and Fu Yingtian's military service quota, and was called upstairs by Duan Qianji. He just read the prompt message when he got down, and was told about Fang Sheng's affairs. After he went to the police station, he went back again. Martyr's Cemetery, when he came back, he was called up to the top floor again to talk to the people of Flamingo about custom music. Now that Zeng Huang mentioned it, Fang Zhaocai remembered that he had received a lot of news, but he did not reply.
There is no way, in the last life to the end of the apocalypse, Fang Zhao had no relatives at all, and now he can't think of going there for the first time.
"I forgot." Fang Zhao said.
Zeng Huang's face was full of disbelief. Before leaving the office, he also persuaded: "Talk to your second uncle well, I think they should be sincere to you. It's getting late, so hurry up and say something. If your second uncle thinks you have an accident, what if you call the police? manage?"
Fang Zhao turned his head and looked out the window. It was really late and it was already dark.
