Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Chapter 2



Luo Yun was right. The two were alumni. They graduated from Yan'an Normal University. Yu Dongqing was two years ahead of Wu Lan, but one majored in mathematics and the other majored in music.

Yu Dongqing likes music and once organized a band in college. He knew Wu Lan at that time. After graduation, he participated in a singing competition and embarked on the path of music without hesitation. There were bumps and bruises along the way, but Wu Lan also took great care of his senior student.

Including Jinye Records was also introduced by Wu Lan.

He also has such power, owns a certain share of the company, is the vice president and music director! When it comes to music, I’m very vocal in the company.

Jinye Records is one of the top music companies in the country in this time and space. It is a bit like the status of Baodao Rolling Stone Records in the 1990s, competing with another Xingcan Music Company.

——Of course, from Yu Dongqing's perspective, the level of the two companies is not very good.

It turns out that Yu Dongqing was a little ashamed of herself as a school girl. She had been mediocre in the company for ten years and had no impressive achievements.

I don’t know why you asked me to come over today?

Yu Dongqing was thinking about it when he saw a fat middle-aged man in his forties coming out of a single office as soon as he left the office. He saw Yu Dongqing walking towards him and frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Director Wu asked me to come to her office."

"Strange, what would the composition team ask you to do? I don't know what Wu Lan was thinking? Really." After saying that, he ignored him and strode forward alone.

His name is Xiong Zhihai, the company's deputy music director and in charge of the music production department.

I don't know if it's because Yu Dongqing hasn't made any impressive achievements in recent years or because he is an alumnus of Wu Lan, but he has always been disliked.

Just like today's attitude.

Yu Dongqing didn't say anything, and followed him up the fourth floor into Wu Lan's office.

There were already five people sitting in the office. Yu Dongqing glanced at the songwriters who all belonged to the A\u0026amp;R Artist Development Department, including Fang Jinsong.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, with a ponytail that looked like an artist's, but his face didn't look good today.

In Xiong Zhihai's advanced office, several people stood up and offered their seats. By the time Yu Dongqing came in, the two sofas were already occupied by six people.

"Holly, wait a minute, I'll ask Xiao Liu to get you a chair." Wu Lan, who was sitting behind the large boss's desk, quickly picked up the landline phone on the table.

"No, here's one." Yu Dongqing picked up a folding chair placed in the corner, wiped the dust on it with a paper towel, placed it under the sofa and sat down calmly.

There was a hint of disdain on Xiong Zhihai's face. Wu Lan wanted to say something but didn't.

"Well, the meeting now is mainly about the soundtrack of "Jianghu Inn". Although Dongqing did not participate in the creation, he is responsible for the arrangement, so I also want him to listen to it, which will help him start his work." Wu Lan said the meeting straight to the point content.

After speaking, he turned to look at Fang Jinsong with a kind look on his face: "Jinsong, although the "Jianghu Overture" created by you has been greatly improved compared to the previous editions, I think it is still close. I know you also It was very hard, so I gathered everyone together to brainstorm and revise it.”

Fang Jinsong's expression changed, but he didn't say anything.

It is said that Wu Lan sent the melody of this piece to Wang Zheng, the director of "Jianghu Inn", but was rudely rejected by the other party.

no!

Rewrite!

This soundtrack is mainly used in the scene where the male protagonist has greatly improved his kung fu after some hardships and appears again to fight the villain. The hero's return-as-the-king momentum was not fully demonstrated.

Yes!

This old bastard!

Fang Jinsong cursed secretly in his heart, but his face returned to calm and calm.

Yu Dongqing closed her eyes slightly after listening to Wu Lan's words.

It's none of my business, I just need to listen with my ears.

In fact, there is no need to listen.

As a unique oriental film type, martial arts films are full of strong national characteristics, so many of their film soundtracks are also rooted in the adaptation or re-creation of folk tunes and opera music.

For example, the opening theme song of the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" by Mr. Xing in that time and space originated from the folk tune of Haicheng, Liaoning.

Not to mention that the theme song of the "Once Upon a Time" series "Men Should Be Strong" is adapted from the folk music "General's Order".

Fang Jinsong has poor folk music skills and uses Western composition techniques. How can he write such a strong martial arts style?

Forget it, I'm just a company songwriter, not a great composer, so my requirements can't be too high.

Watching everyone start to discuss, and finally become red-faced, Yu Dongqing slowly drifted away.

The weather was nice today. The early morning sunlight shone on him from the window and he felt very comfortable.

Um.

Of course, just have another cup of Longjing.

He likes to drink tea, especially West Lake Longjing.

West Lake Longjing is divided into five production areas, Longjing Village, Yunqi, Shifeng Mountain, Hupao, and Meijiawu. In the original time and space, Yu Dongqing drank Hupao Longjing.

There is a saying in Hangzhou: Longjing tea is made from the spring water of Hupao, because the Longjing tea brewed from the spring water of Hupao is fragrant and refreshing.

Unfortunately, in this time and space, there is no such condition yet. If you want to drink Hupao Longjing, you must go to Hangzhou in person.

next year.

When the first new tea comes on the market around the Qingming Festival, I will definitely find a way to go to Hangzhou and enjoy the fun of drinking tea in spring.

Bring the little girl with you too?

When I first came to this time and space, I suddenly had a cheap daughter. I was not used to it for a while, but after getting along with him for more than a month, I fell in love with this cute little girl.

Beautiful, well-behaved and cute.

Yu Dongqing really held it in her hands for fear of falling, and held it in her mouth for fear of melting.

No wonder there are so many daughter slaves.

"holly?!"

Suddenly a female voice pulled Yu Dongqing back from his fugue, and he saw Wu Lan staring at him with an unhappy look on her face.

"Dongqing, tell me about Li Le's revision just now. What do you think of it from the perspective of your arrangement?" Wu Lan asked.

Li Le?

Yu Dongqing looked at the young man wearing black-rimmed glasses sitting on the edge of the sofa, who smiled humbly at him.

"Brother Yu, please give me your opinion."

What amendments are there?

I didn't even pay attention.

Of course, he couldn't answer like this. Yu Dongqing said vaguely: "I think it's okay."

"How can this be done?" Unexpectedly, Wu Lan pursued him.

Yu Dongqing was speechless for a moment and looked at her.

Wu Lan was really angry.

Since I asked you to come, why don't you listen carefully?

Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to communicate based on the composer’s ideas and opinions and strive to compose the song perfectly?

My dear, you are thinking of deserting!

Seeing Yu Dongqing's slightly embarrassed expression, Fang Jinsong couldn't help but joked: "Maybe someone is brewing a better song than mine, right? Dongqing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Isn't this obviously sarcastic?

Xiong Zhenghai also had a mocking tone. :

"Can he write music? Have you seen him write music after staying in Jinye for ten years?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Dongqing looked at him with a serious look on his face: "I'm really brewing a song."
