On Friday morning, Yang Jingxing sent a few text messages to Qi Qingnuo first. Qi Qingnuo will definitely be busier today, so he first expressed his longing for her.

After arriving at the company, Pang Xi informed Yang Jingxing that he should come to the editorial department for a meeting at nine o'clock, but before nine o'clock, the planning department manager Zhou Shenjian called Yang Jingxing's desk directly.

Zhou Shenjian first asked Yang Jingxing if he had arrived at the company, had breakfast, and if he was busy. Since Yang Jingxing said no, he said: "We are going to have a small meeting with Dai Qing. Tan Muwen also thinks it can't be done without you. Look, it's you."

Come down or shall we go up?”

Yang Jingxing regretted it: "If I had known that I wouldn't pretend to be busy, the editorial department would be preparing for Tong Yichun's new project, and I took the initiative to apply to participate yesterday. What time do you plan to do it?"

Zhou Shenjian apologized: "Oh, I blame me for not informing you earlier. It is also a temporary arrangement. The new songs have been very popular these days, and there is also the relationship with Manager Gan, so I have to think about it, haha..."

Yang Jingxing said: "I always watch the excitement wherever I go. I can barely understand the editorial department, but I definitely can't keep up with the planning department..."

Zhou Shenjian laughed: "No one who goes to Lao Gan understands it, but everyone who comes to me thinks it's just the same thing. That's it, you go about your business first, and I'll discuss it with them later."

After about a while, Yang Jingxing and Pang Xi went to invite Master and Disciple Chang Yiming downstairs. Today's participants had a slight change. Based on the last time, Yi Ban was missing and two talented women, Li Xin and Wu Yuan, were added.

It's signed with Hongxing.

Li Xin and Yang Jingxing are familiar with each other. After all, they have worked together and are even nominal partners. Wu Yuan and Yang Jingxing have only met once, and they exchanged greetings when they brought Qi Qingnuo and Yu Xinting to visit the studio, but today they are no longer with each other.

Remember, be warm to each other.

Li Xin was surprised and asked Wu Yuan: "You guys know each other, I haven't heard you say it before."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Not worth mentioning."

Wu Yuan explained to Li Xin: "I was just in a hurry and didn't say a few words."

Yang Jingxing was still troubled: "Teacher Wu, let me introduce to you. This is my colleague, Pang Xi."

Pang Xi also cooperated: "Hello, Teacher Wu."

Wu Yuan responded and explained to everyone: "Gan Kaicheng called me yesterday, and I thought it was something..."

Gan Kaicheng came quickly, apologized to Li Xin and Wu Yuan, and summarized the theme of today's meeting before Tong Yichun arrived.

Tong Yichun and Tong Zhenshu are always on time, but I apologize for keeping everyone waiting. Tong Yichun and Li Xin have known each other for a long time, and they seem to respect Wu Yuan. They wish each other a happy cooperation before they have made a decision.

After a brief exchange of greetings, we got down to business. Tong Yichun had already modified and adjusted Yang Jingxing's ideas as a whole, and they seemed to be more systematic and clear. Tong Zhenshu distributed them, so everyone can take a look first.

When everyone was looking at the purpose, Tong Yichun briefly elaborated on his expectations. The key point was that the newly joined Li Xin and Wu Yuan, a typical creative female gang, would definitely create sparks. It felt like all the men present were undermining.

Gan Kaicheng has a hundred supporters, he is full of confidence in Li Xin and Wu Yuan and looks forward to it.

Tong Yichun also asked Yang Jingxing: "What do you think, Manager Yang?"

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "Manager Gan and I have the same opinion. The difference is that he has no pressure, and I am getting more and more pressure."

Hao Shengfeng also expressed that he was under pressure, while Gan Kaicheng asked Yang Jingxing: "What pressure do you have? Are you afraid that we will hold you back?"

Yang Jingxing looked aggrieved but before he could explain, Wu Yuan comforted him: "Manager Gan was just joking. He told me yesterday that you were very good."

In fact, many people were laughing, so Tong Yichun took the opportunity to explain: "I also have high hopes for Manager Yang, but don't feel pressured, we believe in you."

Yang Jingxing couldn't support the wall: "It's bigger."

Gan Kaicheng gave a lesson: "Stop talking nonsense. Have you finished reading? Do you have any opinions?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No."

No one had any objections to Tong Yichun's decision. Only Gan Kaicheng said a few words that it was not important and could be adjusted at any time. The next step was to clarify the division of labor. The most important thing was the song. It was not like Yang Jingxing who chose a needle in a haystack. He just chose it directly.

Invite and customize directly.

Tong Yichun is a little doubtful about Yi Ban's two songs now, so she will play them for now. Wu Yuan has to take on the heavy responsibility. Although she is modest that her current production is too low, Tong Yichun believes that it is a guarantee of quality.

Tong Yichun also knew Wu Yuan, so her hope and suggestion was that Wu Yuan could write two songs. According to her central idea, one was intellectual and cheerful, and the other was emotional. Of course, this kind of summary

It's too abstract, and the specific details require everyone's collective wisdom.

Wu Yuanduo's qualifications are not as inferior as Yang Jingxing's. Although he has a humble attitude, it still gives everyone reassurance.

Tong Yichun also clearly expressed his love for "In the Center of the Wind", and Yang Jingxing's creative style is changeable, and Li Xin is not rigid, so the best plan is for the two to collaborate and produce two more masterpieces. Of course,

The so-called high-quality products are not meant for ordinary fans to praise, but for experts and connoisseurs to praise.

Li Xin looked at Yang Jingxing with a smile: "I think as long as we have enough time, it shouldn't be a problem."

Tong Yichun also looked at Yang Jingxing and said, "Actually, I know that Manager Yang has many good ideas in his heart. As long as you communicate more with Miss Li, sparks will definitely fly. Be more confident!"

Gan Kai smiled: "Did you hear that?"

Yang Jingxing nodded and apologized to Li Xin: "I may have to apologize for your words again, but I will try my best."

Li Xinxiao: "I like "In the Center of the Wind" very much, I really do!"

Then when it came to arranging music, Tong Yichun admitted frankly: "I don't know much about this aspect, so I asked a few teachers to give more professional and valuable opinions... Manager Gan."

Gan Kaicheng was also modest: "I'm also half-assed at arranging music. Yibo, please tell me."

Shen Yibo said: "Look at this, the requirements are relatively clear and mature...more detailed..."

Hao Shengfeng said: "I am responsible for the simple ones, and leave the complex ones to the academics." Tong Yichun simplified Yang Jingxing's specific ideas about orchestration and vocal texture to give everyone space.

The experts were all conservative and modest. Tong Yichun could only name them: "Manager Yang, please tell me and be specific."

Yang Jingxing gritted his teeth and said: "Immature ideas, just toss out ideas, Brother Feng and Bo Ge will criticize them..."

Gan Kaicheng pleaded: "Can you omit these words?"

Everyone laughed, Lan Jingyue was quite loud. Hao Shengfeng encouraged Yang Jingxing: "Come here and say whatever you think, no one will laugh at you."

Yang Jingxing began to say: "I have thought of a template based on Miss Tong's ideas in the past two days. Since we want to highlight the three-dimensional and grand feeling of evolution, the elements must be diversified. First of all, Miss Tong's own song "Mountains and Lakes"

"To have a sense of image, you can only find it from the style. I think the melody of the song has a bit of an Irish feel. I boldly guess that it may be related to Miss Tong's life in Europe..."

Tong Yichun smiled: "Really?"

Yang Jingxing said: "In this case, I want to just use Irish harmonica and bagpipe. But because of the lyrics, we can't make it like Enya or Secret Garden. Looking at this song again, I feel that the lyrics have some narrative Sex, in addition to being indifferent, also has a hint of nostalgia. Nostalgia is our long-standing culture, so in terms of arrangement, can we boldly try to combine Chinese and Western music?"

Tong Yichun nodded and asked, "What do you two teachers think?"

Hao Shengfeng encouraged: "Keep talking."

Shen Yibo said: "If we don't consider recording and production, I think it's feasible."

Chang Yiming smiled: "You can find a professional."

Wu Yuan also expressed her opinion: "The idea is very good, but the idea is only the first step. You continue to talk about it."

Yang Jingxing continued: "If this song really establishes this style, then in what direction should its subsequent evolution be, I will consider whether I can make a song that is mainly Chinese and supplemented by Western..."

Yang Jingxing was not just throwing bricks, he was dragging several trucks of bricks to show off. It felt like he was the producer who worked hard.

The excessive enthusiasm shown by the newcomers made everyone listen carefully, and the seniors even took notes. But Gan Kaicheng would also laugh: "You said everything, what else should I say."

Yang Jingxing felt aggrieved: "You asked me to say it."

Gan Kaicheng said: "Young people are full of energy and have good ideas, but Xiao Wu also said that ideas are worthless..."

Wu Yuan laughed: "Xiao Wu, I really thought you were the old godmother."

Everyone laughed, but Tong Yichun was worried: "Will there be any difficulties in executing it?"

Gan Kaicheng shook his head: "No...as long as you have money."

Tong Yichun smiled, and Tong Zhenshu said: "We will communicate with the company about this."

Hao Shengfeng was optimistic: "This shouldn't be a problem."

Shen Yibo, who seemed to be thinking all the time, suddenly asked Yang Jingxing: "402, you said that the album has two themes in total, so can the rest of the songs be implicitly... like Easter eggs?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's a good idea, but the production will be more complicated, and it won't mean much to the audience. Or we can make all the songs end in the same but subtle way, but it won't be serious enough."

Wu Yuan said: "It's said that the body and spirit remain together. This is also a creative idea. When added to the arrangement, it will bring great surprise to the listeners."

…

The discussion continued, and everyone was very enthusiastic and working in the same direction. However, it was somewhat difficult to agree on a consensus. Tong Yichun tried his best to maintain a central position, while Gan Kaicheng occasionally spoke forcefully.

The discussion is becoming more and more heated, because now I disagree with an album that does not require too much consideration of the market. Everyone has a lot of talents that they want to display. Especially Shen Yibo, who was taciturn at the beginning, but later he kept talking. Wu Yuan also did her part, forgetting her identity, so that Yang Jingxing had no choice but to step aside.

Finally, on the issue of easter eggs, Tong Yichun and Gan Kaicheng adopted Yang Jingxing's opinion. For songs that contrast in pairs, they can be artificial in the arrangement, and they can even try to add an identical harmony to the opposite style. Relying on changes in musical instruments and rhythm to highlight the effect. Professional Li Xin believes that the implicit echo of the lyrics will also be very good, and Wu Yuan is very supportive.

Tong Yichun didn't seem to be so rigorous. She showed obvious excitement and joy about the idea of ​​Easter eggs, and even slapped the table a little glumly: "It will definitely be very interesting."

It was already past lunch time, and the musicians were still very selfless. Around one o'clock, Tong Zhenshu finally reminded Tong Yichun, but Tong Yichun said: "Is it okay to skip lunch? Everyone, please work hard."

Everyone did their part and morale rose instead of falling.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a seemingly interesting idea was discussed in more detail. Yang Jingxing drew an imaginary relationship diagram on the small blackboard that looked like a spider web, with a total of twelve songs and a mess of correspondences.

...There are a dozen musicians in a room, like children playing house.

Finally, when Tong Yichun happily decided to treat the guests to dinner, Gan Kaicheng began to pour cold water on it, saying that details determine success or failure, and how many details would go into an album with such a complex concept, and how difficult it would be to succeed.

Tong Yichun also said that in order to make this album, everyone present must work closely together, preferably to the extent of intimacy, so that thoughts and wisdom can flow unimpeded and exert the great power of unity.

Tong Yichun even thought that everyone should stop over-dividing labor and everyone should contribute. Unfortunately, he did not get much support. Gan Kaicheng, the boss, felt that decision-making power was necessary.

A group of people went to eat, and at first glance, no one’s car was more expensive than Yang Jingxing’s, including Tong Zhenshu’s domestic SUV.

Gan Kaicheng and Lan Jingyue got into Yang Jingxing's car again without hesitation. Pang Xi was still sorting out his notes, and Gan Kaicheng praised: "Xiao Pang is really good. You remember all the nonsense he talks about."
