Chapter 6
Xingguang Entertainment Composition Department.
Director Xu was beaming with joy.
He walked into the door of the composition department with great dignity!
He glanced at Chen Xi, who was still typing away on the keyboard.
"What a workaholic."
Don't get too excited, calm down first.
Director Xu returned to his office and poured a cup of tea.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock."
Looking up at the clock, it's 5:30, and there's still half an hour before the end of work.
On Chen Xi's computer, a passionate, exciting, and inspiring melody has already taken shape.
The melody is simple, the accompaniment is simple, but the lyrics are very exciting.
Just click and print!
"Click, click, click……"
The printer in the composition department rang.
Old Xu hadn't heard such a pleasant sound in a long time. Other employees in the composition department also looked towards the printer.
Mr. Xu stood up, and Chen Xi also stood up.
One step, two steps, three steps... their eyes met.
The composition department's gaze stopped on the two people.
The printer stopped.
Time also stopped.
The composing department was audible.
Everyone controlled their breathing for fear of disturbing the atmosphere.
Chen Xi slowly stretched out his hand.
Reached for the printing paper.
10 cm.
5 cm.
3 cm...
Mr. Xu grabbed the printing paper and said,"Give it to me, you...""
"Chen Xi, come, come to my office.
Chen Xi smiled helplessly and followed Director Xu into the office.
20 minutes later
""Okay, okay, it's really fucking good."
Director Xu slapped his thigh while swearing, and looked up at Chen Xi who was absent-mindedly sitting on the sofa.
He slapped his thigh again,"It's really fucking good."
Then he put the A4 paper in front of him neatly together with both hands, gently placed it on the desk, and pressed it with his mobile phone out of worry.
""Chen Xi, you must be thirsty. I'll pour you a cup of tea."
After that, Director Xu stood up and walked towards the coffee table. As soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt a little pain in his thigh. Director Xu didn't know what happened, so he didn't care. He limped to the sofa next to Chen Xi and sat down.
While making tea, he asked,"Did you write this song?"
What a nonsense...
Director Xu also realized,"It's written for college entrance examination students."
Another nonsense...
China has a tradition that every June during the college entrance examination season, composers will write songs for college entrance examination students to inspire their fighting spirit and wish them good results.
This is something that every musician knows well, and songwriters and singers will also be proud that their songs can be on the student list.
It symbolizes that culture and entertainment are inseparable!
Director Xu fell into memories.
Ding Kui, the only gold medal composer of Starlight Entertainment!
In April, Ding Kui vowed to contract the songs on the student list.
"Mr. Xu, rest assured, I have an idea and will submit the song by the end of April."
"Mr. Xu, the music will be placed on the table in your office in early May."
"Director Xu, by mid-May at the latest, I guarantee it with my reputation."
Director Xu looked at the independent composition room with the best lighting in the composition department.
"Today is May 14th, why don't you even answer the phone?"
Looking at the absent-minded Chen Xi in front of him,
Mr. Xu liked him more and more.
"If this song doesn't become popular, I, Xu Sheng, will perform a striptease for you in front of the composition department, no, in front of the whole company."
This sentence almost made Chen Xi laugh.
Looking at the pot-bellied Director Xu, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Chen Xi, who should this song be sung for? Su Linger is not suitable, right?"
"Well, a male singer with a deeper voice."
"Okay, I'll call someone for you."
Mr. Xu's eyes moved, he picked up the phone on the music score, and pressed his other hand on the music score.
"Hello, Lao He, come to our composition department."
Then he hung up the phone.
……
A few seconds later,
Director He of the Planning Department rushed into the Composition Department
"Fatty Xu, Fatty Xu."
All the employees in the composition department looked at the angry Director He.
A brave employee pointed to Director Xu's office.
Director He pushed the door open,"Bang."
Seeing that there was an outsider, he said to Chen Xi,
"You go out for a while."
Director Xu said casually,
"《He wrote the lyrics and music for"The Lone Warrior".
Director He was stunned and looked at Chen Xi who had already stood up.
"Sit down first and watch how I deal with your boss."
Director He stood in front of Xu Sheng, who was still drinking tea calmly, and spoke slowly.
"You'd better give me a reason."
The company's situation this year has made every leader very depressed. The composition department hasn't produced a decent song for a long time.
It's May, and they haven't made it into the top three of the Newcomer List, the Popular List, and the Monthly List.
People outside say that Xingguang has declined, and some entertainment companies have already poached people blatantly.
Seeing that Director He was really angry, Xu Sheng stood up, picked up a few A4 papers that were pressed by his mobile phone on the desk, and handed them to Director He.
"I think the song written by Chen Xi will be a hit."
Director He took the A4 paper and calmed down a little.
There are both music and lyrics.
"《Rudy》"
"Where is the world full of flowers?"
"If it really exists, I would go."
"I want to be there on the highest mountain"
"Don't care if it's a cliff"
"…………"
The tune is not very high, even a little bland, but the lyrics are of high quality.
Director He hummed silently in his heart and glanced at Chen Xi. There are too many lyrics. What is in this kid's head?
Keep reading, it's not the chorus yet.
"run ahead……"
Didn't hum
"run ahead……"
A bit high
……
Xu Sheng and Chen Xi looked at Director He, whose face was red, and wondered what had happened. Little did they know that Director He was struggling with the song with his chest and abdomen.
Director He gave up, he really couldn't sing it anymore.
"Facing cold eyes and ridicule"
"The vastness of life is not tempered by hardships.���How can I feel"
"Fate can't make us kneel down and beg for mercy"
"Even if blood is spilled all over my arms"
"Keep running……
"Keep running……
"Damn, it's too damn high."
This sentence really reached the ears of Xu Sheng and Chen Xi.
"Haha, Lao He, you can't sing it."
Director He's face turned red, and it was already red enough, and he looked at Xu Sheng angrily.
"I used to be a resident singer at"Shiguang""
……
The laughter in Director Xu's office also alarmed other employees in the composition department.
"Could it be that Chen Xi’s song was noticed by a big shot?"
"Impossible, Su Linger even likes his songs. A person's luck will eventually run out."
"Chen Xi may be Director He's nephew"
"Oh? How do you say that?"
"You see, Director He's last name is He, and Chen Xi's last name is Chen."
"Yes, and then??"
"If he is his nephew, they should have the same surname."
"……"
Director Xu's office.
Director He looked at Chen Xi affectionately. How great it would be if this was my son!
"Chen Xi, for this song, I will find you a singer with weight!"
