Chapter three hundred and sixty fifth position(2/2)
Tong Yichun arrived at the company at nine o'clock. A meeting to prepare for her new album was held at the editor's office at nine quarters.
There are not many people. The boss is in charge. In addition, there are four other people from the editorial department including Gan Kaicheng and Yang Jingxing. As for the production department and the planning department, they are basically auditors now. The one who leads Tong Yichun in the planning department of Hongxing Company is the most relaxed, because Tong Yi
Apart from recording and singing, I basically don’t do anything else.
Everyone prepared a lot of materials. First, the planning department reviewed in detail the production process of Tong Yichun's previous albums and the various praises they received after their release. Then they set a simple and lofty goal for the new album to go far beyond breakthroughs.
Then Tong Yichun expressed her thoughts. She said for half an hour that the regulations were quite clear, but the meaning was not very clear. There are no other singers who want such and such songs to have certain styles and lyrics...these specific
Require.
In summary, Tong Yijun humbly hopes that her new album will reflect more practical and steady content than her previous albums, although she did not say that the songs she prepared have reached that level.
After Tong Yichun, Gan Kaicheng, the editorial manager, spoke concisely and to the point: "I want to hear what 402 thinks first."
After listening for an hour, Yang Jingxing opened the materials he had prepared and started speaking: "Whether it's in the company or the music industry, I'm a newbie. I don't know where the world is and I like to talk nonsense..."
Zhang Yanhao, who rarely had the opportunity to speak, seized the opportunity: "Geniuses don't be verbose. Professionals will judge."
Yang Jingxing started the formal content: "First of all, I am sure that Miss Tong's songs this time are very different from the previous ones, but the personal touch is obvious. I selected some songs from the previous album and it is not very simple to compare them with this time.
full……"
Tong Yichun reached out to Yang Jingxing: "Can you show it to me?"
After Yang Jingxing handed over the two pages of comparative analysis data, everyone waited quietly for Tong Yichun to look at each other for a few minutes, only making some eye contact with each other.
Tong Yichun nodded after reading: "I agree with most of 402's opinions...well, you can say it yourself."
Yang Jingxing started again, and others seemed to nod in agreement with him. In fact, Yang Jingxing's analysis was quite satisfactory. Although it looked very professional, it did not have any shocking and unique insights.
However, Tong Yichun took it seriously and asked Yang Jingxing: "Have you heard of "Cuckoo"? I think it is more comparable."
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Judging from the final result of "Cuckoo," I think the arrangement was a bit conservative. Maybe it was because I didn't expect Miss Tong to perform the ending in such an explosive way at the time. But it's not a bad thing.
It just hides part of the potential appeal of the song, making it easy to miss it when listening.”
As the boss, Zhang Yanhao seemed completely uninterested in these words and seemed to be distracted.
After Yang Jingxing, several of Gan Kaicheng's subordinates expressed their opinions. Looking back on yesterday, analyzing today and looking forward to tomorrow...
How about saying that musicians are miserable? This meeting was held from nine o'clock to one o'clock at noon, with only a five-minute break. It just let the attendees know the axiom that "Tong Yichun's new songs are different, and the new album will also be different."
.
For most albums, the role of the so-called detailed analysis is almost negligible. They are all professionals, and no one in the editorial department can tell that "The Promise of Mood" is definitely not the same as Tong Yichun.
Routines.
But Tong Yichun obviously does not think that his album is one of the most popular ones, so he is so diligent in improving it and not letting go of any helpful ideas or suggestions.
Finally, it was Zhang Yanhao, a compassionate staff member, who reminded Tong Yichun that it was time to take a break for lunch. Tong Yichun suggested that everyone have a simple working meal so that they can continue the afternoon discussion as soon as possible, which made everyone present happy.
Drinking coffee while waiting for the lunch box, Gan Kaicheng and Yang Jingxing found a rare opportunity to be alone, and both of them put down their professional expressions.
Gan Kai smiled: "I see you don't need to learn."
Yang Jingxing said: "I can memorize everything you wrote before."
Gan Kaicheng said: "I used to want to make every album first-rate, top-notch, and perfect!"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I don't want to learn this from you."
Gan Kaicheng still encouraged: "Do it well."
Zhang Yanhao came over to express his condolences to the employees and scolded Yang Jingxing: "Why are you looking so sad? Are you wronged by a ten-year-old brat asking you to participate in monitoring Tong Yichun's album?"
Yang Jingxing laughed: "It's a lot of pressure."
Zhang Yanhao patted Yang Jingxing's shoulder and said with a wicked smile: "You really have to thank Lao Ganma. If you do well, it's your fault. If you don't, it's his."
After eating a sumptuous and luxurious lunch, the afternoon meeting started at two o'clock. Tong Yichun first said: "We will try to set the general tone today so that we can start the subsequent work."
In this case, in the afternoon, the editorial department and 402 will assist Tong Yichun in singing. However, Tong Yichun is an absolute protagonist with few lines.
Each song must be carefully analyzed and anticipated from a variety of different arrangements and singing perspectives, although no one knows whether Tong Yichun has his own ideas.
Perhaps this is also when Tong Yichun absorbed more people's wisdom. She showed great interest in every idea or understanding and often asked in-depth questions, which made it difficult for someone who has been an arranger for more than ten years to continue.
Tong Yichun also respects the newcomer: "402, what do you think?"
Yang Jingxing became modest again: "I don't have any specific ideas about this yet..."
Gan Kaicheng reminded: "You told me yesterday that you had another idea."
Yang Jingxing laughed: "My idea is relatively naive. I don't think we need to be too rigid about the unity of form, otherwise it may appear monotonous."
Tong Yichun encouraged: “Let’s talk about it in detail.”
Yang Jingxing expressed his thoughts because the songs prepared by Tong Yichun were also quite jumpy. Instead of trying to find a way to find songs with similar styles to interpret the same feeling, it would be better to be bold and make an album that looks colorful.
See if you can achieve a feeling of comparison and coordination.
Although this idea does sound a bit naive, Tong Yichun is still interested in discussing it. Moreover, Gan Kaicheng also expressed some support for 402.
However, after some careful consideration, Tong Yichun still said: "This idea of 402 is also very good. Let's put it aside first and see if it can be helpful later. Next, let's take a look at it according to Teacher Hao's ideas."
