On Wednesday morning, there was drizzle in the sky in Puhai, but judging from the accumulation of water in the potholes, it must have been a lot of rain last night. It must be the last few days of cool weather in this summer, the air smells good, and the rain washes away

The plants that have passed are also beautiful.

Yang Jingxing arrived at the company at eight o'clock, and the front desk said that Pang Xi had not arrived yet. There was something new on the notice board on the first floor: Congratulations to Pang Xi on the successful online release of his new single "Self-Contradiction". No wonder this song was playing at the front desk.

This is also the first time that the conservative Hongxin has launched a single online, probably to test the waters for future cooperation with communication operators. In fact, it is not particularly successful. It only barely entered a few new song rankings after two days of release.

, of course they are all online.

In fact, the market is so sluggish that there are not many formal online releases by singers signed by regular companies. With Hongxing's foundation and Pang Xi's own small fame, it is not that difficult to enter the top twenty rankings.

Yang Jingxing went upstairs and turned on the equipment and started working hard, but the work he was doing was not company work. Pang Xi arrived at around 8:20, explained to Yang Jingxing that it was delayed because of the rain, and then reported the things in order, first

She said what she thought was most important: "Manager Ming's secretary sent me a proposal the day before yesterday to establish an author file for you. Take a look."

In fact, the purpose of creating an archive for artists or authors is to unify the caliber and route for future publicity. It can be complex or simplified. The "402 Archives Establishment Opinion Letter" seems to be preparing for high-level simplification. It also said that Yang Jingxing needs to cooperate with himself, which means that

He himself contributed some advanced music deeds, and the writing is beautiful.

Yang Jingxing glanced at it and said, "No need, I'll tell Manager Ming personally later."

Pang Xi nodded: "That's what I replied to her, saying you might not have time."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Thank you, just say I don't want to."

Pang Xi smiled: "I'll know what to do in the future... Pang Xi's new single has been released. I came here yesterday afternoon when I was about to get off work. I said it depends on whether you are here."

Yang Jingxing said: "I just modified that song and avoided it."

Pang Xi nodded: "It's not convenient for her to come to you...Cheng Yaoyao hasn't been here in the past few days."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "How popular do you think I am?"

Pang Xi didn't smile and asked, "What will I do if Pang Xi sends gifts again?"

Yang Jingxing said: "If you can't refuse, thank you and let me know."

Pang Xi thought for a moment and then nodded: "The company has activities on June 1st. If you don't have children, you can also take your children to play..."

After talking about some chores that Yang Jingxing knew or didn't know, Pang Xi started looking for something to do: "Is there anything you want me to do at school while you're home?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "You should also celebrate Children's Day."

Pang Xi asked again: "Where is Fu Feirong? I can handle it."

Yang Jingxing still shook his head: "No, thank you."

In the end, Pang Xi got into trouble and asked Yang Jingxing if Manager Ming of the production department was there.

After meeting with the production manager, Yang Jingxing went to Gan Kaicheng to express his opinion on the demo and score he got last time. Gan Kaicheng didn't want to hear it and asked Yang Jingxing to deal with it casually.

After Yang Jingxing returned to the office, he made his first phone call as a music editor.

The other party is also a well-known author in the circle. He answered the phone in a noisy place: "Hello, who is that?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Hello, Teacher Gu, I am Yang Jingxing from the editorial department of Hongxing Company. I'm sorry to disturb you..."

The other party obviously didn't want to listen to the nagging: "What's the matter with you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "That's right, I carefully read your piece "Inadvertently" and I have some immature ideas. Can I waste a little time on you?"

The other party was a little unhappy: "Are you new? What can you say if you are immature? Let's talk about it when you are mature. Let Gan Kaicheng tell me that I am not free now." The call was hung up.

Yang Jingxing called the second author again. This person was not a newbie, but his status was not as high as the first one. He was relatively polite: "... I have some time, what do you think?"

Yang Jingxing said: "The melody is very good and catchy, but I think the chorus is a little short. Do you think it can be expanded? Also, the bridge section before the chorus seems a bit out of touch. I think your conception

It's complete, but maybe a little hastily completed."

The other party asked again: "What did you say your name was?"

Yang Jingxing said: "My name is Yang Jingxing."

The other party was silent for a moment and then asked: "Four zero two?"

Yang Jingxing laughed: "That was my other job, now my name is Yang Jingxing."

The other party seemed to be very angry: "You told me earlier! Why did you do this? If I hadn't heard from Lao Chen about you, I wouldn't have known about you. You know Chen Xun, right? You have met him before."

Yang Jingxing said: "I met Teacher Chen once."

The other party looked very clear: "I remembered Cheng Yaoyao's press conference at the beginning of the year! Lao Chen and I are old acquaintances. Hey, where are you? How about we meet and chat, and ask a few friends to get to know each other?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I really want to go, but I don't have time now. Look, I'm sorry to give you some advice from my classmate Nonghu."

The other party said: "Oh, I have forgotten this song myself, so you just have to do it. If it doesn't work, forget it. Aren't you still studying at the Conservatory of Music? Why did you go to Hongxing to do this?"

…

With no results, Yang Jingxing was about to call the third person. At this time, the phone rang. It was the first person calling, and his attitude was obviously different: "402, I'm sorry, I just had something to do and couldn't get away."

, I finally turned it down. You are not interesting enough, and you don’t say who you are. I have never seen you, so I can’t tell."

Yang Jingxing said: "How dare Four Zero Two discuss his work with you? I only dare to give you the name of the editorial department of Hongxing Company."

The other party laughed: "I'm being humble, let's discuss it, it doesn't matter. That's just the way I am, no matter who it is, I can scold and quarrel with you, Gan Kaicheng, it's just work."

Yang Jingxing said: "If you say that, I feel relieved."

The other party said: "'Inadvertently', to be honest, is the song that I am satisfied with this year. I only gave it to Gan Kaicheng because he is an old friend. What do you think?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I think it's very good, but in the eyes of editors, there can't be perfect works. I have no choice but to pretend to be fat. I have a few comments and you can criticize me more."

The other party was generous: "You can tell me."

Yang Jingxing said: "First of all, I think the lyrics are a bit too simple..."

The other party said seriously: "Four Zero Two, you are also a song writer. In fact, sometimes it is difficult to communicate about things like creation and inspiration. I am not saying that you are incapable of understanding my works, but some things are different people's opinions after all.

Sometimes simple is best, just like when doing math problems."

Yang Jingxing said: "I agree with you. In this case, I suggest you enrich the melody a little bit. This may have a better effect. I'm afraid the audience will think it's too thin..."

The other party said: "Audience? I never cater to the audience. Everyone knows this. If you don't feel good about it, forget it. I'll make a bunch of appointments!"

…

Yang Jingxing persisted in his disdain, and finally met a reliable one, but this one was too reliable. After chatting for an hour, he still refused to hang up the phone. He simply wanted to listen to 402's composition skills and experience, and he was very interested in it.

Yang Jingxing's opinions were just as ordered and showed no artistic integrity.

At around eleven o'clock, Gan Kaicheng gently pushed away the people in the studio and snickered when he saw Yang Jingxing still on the phone. He was still eavesdropping and making strange expressions.

Yang Jingxing smiled after hanging up the phone: "It's too challenging."

Gan Kaicheng was proud: "You know why I like you, it's because you make me feel so relaxed... Let you experience it, don't take it too seriously."

Yang Jingxing was suspicious: "Did you pick it for me on purpose?"

Gan Kaicheng smiled mischievously: "Generally, most of them are like this."

The two of them discussed this issue. Gan Kaicheng said that many authors do not make music, but study music. The truly professional ones should be able to provide buyers with an accurate picture of what they want as soon as possible. However,

Many people just research aimlessly, and when they happen to get some results, they think it is the crystallization of their talent and sweat. As for whether the results are meaningful, they don't care.

Professionals who take orders with clear requirements can produce something within a few days or even hours, but as for researchers, they may not be able to produce a few decent sentences in ten and a half months.

Gan Kaicheng believes that this is not a difference in creative concepts, but simply a matter of attitude. It is a disparity in professional theoretical knowledge and has nothing to do with talent or talent. In fact, the probability of a classic is much higher for the music produced than for the music produced through research.

.

If you work in the industry, there will be various requirements, which will allow the author to learn more and get more exposure, and naturally you will be high-end. But for small workshop research, it stays within the small scope of what you know, and the results are

It sounds like it’s style, but in fact it’s just the same.

Gan Kai made a serious statement: "If you want to save music, you must make music, and you can no longer study it."

Yang Jingxing was suspicious: "Are you reminding me?"

Gan Kaicheng said seriously: "I entrust this task to you."

Yang Jingxing said: "I am still in the research stage."

Gan Kaicheng shook his head: "You are doing it in a high-end way... In fact, everyone understands the truth, but I can't do it, but you can... Don't laugh, this is a truth I have learned over the decades! A good author must

I can write a ballad, and I can also write "Thank You"!"

Yang Jingxing smiled awkwardly: "Even if you appreciate me a little bit, don't brag about your taste like this."

Gan Kaicheng laughed: "I, Gan Kaicheng, have so many nice things to say, is it okay to have another lunch?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, order whatever you want."

Gan Kaicheng added: "Two men? Both bring assistants."

Yang Jingxing nodded.

Gan Kaicheng left. When he went out, he personally informed Pang Xi: "Xiao Pang, let's have dinner together at noon. Your head is a treat."

Yang Jingxing called from behind: "Didn't you say I would invite you?"

Gan Kaicheng turned around to confirm: "It's your invitation."

Not long after the meeting, it was lunch time, and Pang Xi and Yang Jingxing went downstairs to invite Gan Kaicheng and his assistant. Gan Kaicheng's assistant was named Lan Jingyue. She was almost thirty years old and had a better-looking face than Pang Xi.
