Chapter 372 Reference(1/2)
On Monday morning, Yang Jingxing went to work an hour early and used a synthesizer to re-create a few audio tracks and then merged them with the original ones to create a newly arranged demo of "In the Center of the Wind". No pop-up window, update quickly. Talk about the website
However, Li Ying's singing style is very different from Tong Yi Chun's. In terms of vocal pronunciation, Li Ying even sings better than Tong Yi Chun, but it's not that "personalized". People who sing demos don't dare to be too personal.
After eight o'clock, Pang Xi opened the door without knocking and took a look. She found Yang Jingxing with a teacup on the table and working. She retracted her head and opened the curtain a crack. It was like surveillance.
At around 8:30, Yang Jingxing returned from the workbench to the desk. Pang Xi came in again with a small notebook and asked, "Do you want to arrange your time today?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "Cooperate with others."
Pang Xi nodded: "In addition to Tong Yichun's meeting, when will the meeting with Dai Qing be arranged?"
Yang Jingxing said: "During lunch break or after get off work in the afternoon... try to do it during the day."
Pang Xi nodded: "How long can it take? I asked her to let her know when there is time."
Yang Jingxing said: "An hour or so."
Pang Xi nodded and asked, "What should I say if someone else comes to me?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Tell the truth."
Pang Xi nodded again.
Yang Jingxing personally presented the new demo to Gan Kai. Lan Jingyue first told him that Dai Qing and Tan Muwen needed to call to report that they were in the manager's office, and then told Yang Jingxing: "Boss asked you to come in... Help me make an appointment with Pang Xi for lunch."
Yang Jingxing agreed to knock on the door and went into the editorial manager's office. Dai Qing, who was sitting opposite Gan Kaicheng, turned around and stood up to say hello: "Good morning, Teacher 402." Maybe it was because she had a little success. Her makeup and dress also upgraded to a dressy skirt and makeup.
Enough for a big concert.
Yang Jingxing nodded: "You won't disturb me for a long time, right?"
Tan Muwen also moved his butt off the chair: "Sit."
Gan Kaicheng was full of resentment: "Can you let me take a break?"
Yang Jingxing felt aggrieved: "I can't do it without you."
Gan Kaicheng said to Tan Muwen again: "Then let's do this for now."
Tan Muwen nodded and stood up again: "Thank you very much, Manager Gan."
Gan Kaicheng encouraged Dai Qing again: "Sing well."
Dai Qing said warmly, "Thank you, uncle." After standing up, he asked Yang Jingxing: "Teacher 402, please give me more guidance."
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "Manager Gan wants me to learn from you."
Dai Qing hehehe: "I am learning from you. When do you want to start?"
Yang Jingxing said: "As soon as possible, I will prepare it first."
Gan Kaicheng said: "I will let you know when the time comes."
So Dai Qing and Tan Muwen said goodbye and Yang Jingxing sat down.
Gan Kaicheng was still complaining: "I'm not the boss. If the company is mine... we can't do anything random."
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Uncle, please take more care of me."
Gan Kaicheng felt aggrieved: "How else can I take care of you? What else can I do about the production of 402's song 402!?"
Yang Jingxing said: "This is the biggest dissatisfaction with you. You should do it yourself."
Gan Kaicheng glared: "It's stressful enough for me to arrange for you..."
The two of them took the time to listen to the new demo together. Gan Kaicheng said it was pretty good. Then he looked at the case prepared by Yang Jingxing and said it was for better cooperation during the meeting.
At a little before nine o'clock, everyone from the preparatory committee for Tong Yichun's new album arrived. When Tong Yichun arrived, everyone stood up to say hello, except for Gan Kaicheng, who sat comfortably and said: "The boss has not been here for a long time, so let's start quickly.
"
Tong Yichun nodded: "I know, tell me."
The meeting started before Lan Jingyue prepared tea and coffee for everyone.
Tong Yichun is looking forward to it: "I wonder what good suggestions the teachers have after this weekend?"
Gan Kaicheng suggested: "Young people come first."
Yang Jingxing obeyed: "Senior, please correct me more." Then he started to follow the script, but it was his own.
After listening for a while, Tong Yichun suggested to Gan Kaicheng: "Ask your assistant to make a copy."
After everyone got a twelve-page copy of "Tong Yichun's New Album Concept", Tong Yichun said to Yang Jingxing: "Thank you 402 for your sincerity, please continue... If you have any opinions, you can also raise them."
Yang Jingxing continued: "The singers I just mentioned who have tried this kind of thing also have something in common with Miss Tong. They are good at creating their own music and have their own unique style..."
The manager of the planning department interrupted and asked: "Is this comparable if they are all from abroad?"
Yang Jingxing confessed: "I don't necessarily have to be there. I just serve as a reference for seniors to judge."
The manager of the planning department laughed: "It's up to Yichun and Manager Gan to judge this...it's very valuable for reference."
Tong Yichun looked at the information: "I have never heard of Hikaru Takeuchi's album. I have time to find it and listen to it. In fact, I don't care much about sales."
Even at this time, Zhang Yanhao estimated that he would not say anything, so several people in the meeting expressed their support and praise for Tong Yichun's high integrity.
Zhang Yanhao said to Yang Jingxing: "We don't care about the sales volume, just use it as a reference data for you to continue."
Yang Jingxing nodded and said: "I can't analyze the state of these singers when they were making or producing such an album, or what impact they had on them. I can only list some superficial data and reports for Miss Tong's reference."
Tong Yichun nodded: "Actually, I'm a little curious why 402 has been thinking in this direction."
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Don't mind Miss Tong's personal preference."
Tong Yichun also smiled: "It doesn't matter. I have also considered your suggestion in the past two days and there are some issues. I wonder if you have thought about it."
Yang Jingxing nodded and listened.
Tong Yichun said: "Is this comparison meant to bring out my style, impact or something else?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I imagine it should be a rich one. I carefully listened to several of your songs and personally feel that the content they want to express is much richer than the previous albums. I also wrote a page later, taking "Concern" as an example.
This song reminds me of a song I saw before called "Wandering Home". Although the styles of the two songs are completely different, they express similar things..."
What Yang Jingxing prepared included a superficial analysis of the melody characteristics and emotional connotation of Tong Yichun's "Care" and then compared it with a song "Wandering Home" written by a well-known author owned by Hongxing.
The styles of the two songs are very different, but Yang Jingxing also managed to convey a sense of reaching the same goal through different paths.
Although Yang Jingxing's analysis was not so detailed and profound, he expressed it more clearly. He even prepared the score of "The Wandering Home" for Tong Yichun to look at.
Gan Kaicheng said: "This song is just a reference, but it is not that simple to choose."
While looking at it, Tong Yichun asked: "What standards are we referring to?" He glanced at Gan Kaicheng and Yang Jingxing each.
Gan Kaicheng seemed not to have heard Yang Jingxing and said: "First of all, of course, I want Miss Tong to like it, and then there are two aspects: melody and lyrics. I think there are many points that can fit in the melody. It would be better if we can find echoes..."
Tong Yichun seemed to have some interest in Yang Jingxing's idea and discussed it more carefully. Especially when Yang Jingxing boldly compared "In the Center of the Wind" with Tong Yichun's "Lonely Left and Right", Tong Yichun even started to sing in a low voice.
Although Tong Yichun was not convinced of Yang Jingxing's idea, the planning manager still congratulated Gan Kaicheng: "Manager Gan has found a good helper this time."
Tong Yichun asked: "What does Manager Gan think?"
Gan Kaicheng said: "I think it can be considered."
Tong Yichun smiled: "Manager Gan, do you have any suggestions?"
Gan Kaicheng chuckled: "My ideas were almost preempted by those of 402... Are you plagiarizing me?"
Everyone laughed at Yang Jingxing and said, "I also added a little bit of my own experience."
Gan Kaicheng became more serious and picked up Yang Jingxing's information and began to use his expertise: "Although 402 is still a preliminary idea, there is still a lot of content that I can dig out. Let's accept the structure of this model first...
"
After all, the well-known producer Gan Kai, who has been working for more than ten years, expressed his professional opinions in a clear and eloquent manner. There must be a lot of concerns about Yang Jingxing's ideas and they sound very objective, although they are definitely far more than doubts.
It seemed that Tong Yichun valued Yang Jingxing's idea but definitely respected Gan Kaicheng 100%. Although Gan Kaicheng was not as humble as Yang Jingxing when he spoke, it was even unquestionable.
Gan Kaicheng's worry is: "But it will be very difficult to do this. Although it seems easy, it is a challenge for both the singer and the producer. You can imagine that it is just like finding a partner. It is almost impossible to find someone you like and suitable, especially with high vision and high requirements."
So you should consider it carefully.”
Everyone laughed and Tong Yichun said cautiously for a few seconds: "What Manager Gan said makes sense. I think the idea of 402 can be one of our final choices... What do you think?"
Of course no one objects to it.
In this case, let’s analyze Yang Jingxing’s idea in depth. We all have been in the industry for many years and it is impossible for us to be unable to start with a novice’s ideas. Whether it is targeted, casual or particularly divergent, everyone can
Can fully demonstrate one's sincerity.
The atmosphere of the meeting was active until lunch time. Even the newcomer Yang Jingxing was quite active. Therefore, when Gan Kaicheng summarized before the meeting ended, he thought that the gains were quite a lot.
Tong Yichun decided to continue at two o'clock in the afternoon and everyone took a good lunch break. So after the meeting, Yang Jingxing went back upstairs and called Pang Xi to ask Dai Qing if he had time at noon and could come now. "Do you have a takeaway phone number?"
Pang Xi asked: "Meet first or eat first?"
Yang Jingxing said: "You said the Malay food can wait for her convenience."
So five minutes later Pang Xi opened the door: "Miss Dai is here."
Yang Jingxing stood up to welcome him: "Come in."
Dai Qing walked in alone as if she were a guest, looking at the table furnishings with some novelty. The model she had given as a gift was still there.
