Chapter 372 Reference(1/2)
On Monday morning, Yang Jingxing went to work an hour early, used a synthesizer to re-create a few audio tracks, and then merged them with the original ones to create a newly arranged "Wind Center" demo.
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 just 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 that Yang Jingxing was working with a teacup on the table. She retracted her head and opened the curtain a crack, which was really like surveillance.
At around 8:30, Yang Jingxing returned from the workbench to behind the desk. Pang Xi came in again, holding 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, I also need to meet with Dai Qing. When will it 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 wait for news, and I will inform her when I have time."
Yang Jingxing said: "An hour or so."
Pang Xi nodded and took notes and asked, "What should I say if someone else comes looking for 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 were in the manager's office and needed to call to report. Then she told Yang Jingxing: "The 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 entered 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 achieved a little bit of success, so her makeup and dress were also upgraded, and she was more sophisticated.
The skirt and makeup are enough for a big concert.
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Morning, don't bother me?"
Tan Muwen also moved his butt off the chair: "Please sit down."
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: "Okay, thank you, 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 chuckled: "I am learning from you. When will it start?"
Yang Jingxing said: "As soon as possible, I will prepare first."
Gan Kaicheng said: "I will let you know when the time comes."
So Dai Qing and Tan Muwen left, and Yang Jingxing sat down.
Gan Kaicheng was still complaining: "I'm not the boss. If the company is mine... I 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? 402's songs, 402's production, what else can I do!?"
Yang Jingxing said: "This is the biggest dissatisfaction with you. You should take action 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 copy prepared by Yang Jingxing and said it was for better coordination 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 Gan Kaicheng, who sat comfortably and said: "The boss can't come in the morning, we
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 "Tong Yichun New Album Concept", Tong Yichun said to Yang Jingxing: "Thank you 402 for your sincerity, you can continue... If you have any opinions, you can also raise them."
Yang Jingxing continued: "I just mentioned the singers who have tried this kind of thing. These people also have something in common with Miss Tong. They are good at creating their own songs and have their own unique style..."
The manager of the planning department interrupted and said: "They are all from abroad. Is this comparable?"
Yang Jingxing confessed: "Not necessarily, I just used it as a reference and let the seniors judge."
The manager of the planning department laughed: "It's up to Yi Chun and Manager Gan to judge this...it's very valuable for reference."
Tong Yichun looked at the information: "I have never heard of Takeuchi Hikaru's album. I will give it a listen when I have time. In fact, I don't care much about sales."
Even if Zhang Yanhao was here at this time, he probably wouldn't say anything, so several people at 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. You 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 to give Miss Tong a reference."
Tong Yichun nodded: "Actually, I'm a little curious as to why 402 has been thinking in this direction."
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Personal preferences, don't mind Miss Tong."
Tong Yichun also smiled: "It doesn't matter. I have also considered your suggestions in the past two days. I have a few questions. I wonder if you have thought about it."
Yang Jingxing nodded and listened.
Tong Yichun said: "Is this comparison meant to set off my style, or to impact it, or something else?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I imagine it should be rich. I read several of your songs carefully, and I personally feel that the content you want to express is much richer than the previous albums. I also wrote about it later, on page six, and
"Care" is an example. This song reminds me of a song I've seen before called "Wandering Home". Although the styles of the two songs are completely different, they express similar things..."
Among the things Yang Jingxing prepared, he first briefly analyzed the melody characteristics and emotional connotations of Tong Yichun's "Care", and then took a song "Wandering" whose copyright is owned by Hongxing and written by a slightly famous author.
Comparing "Home", the styles of the two songs are very different, but Yang Jingxing also made it seem that they have reached 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" and showed it to Tong Yichun.
Gan Kaicheng said: "This song is just a reference. 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 didn't seem to hear, so Yang Jingxing said: "First of all, 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 with 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 after Yang Jingxing boldly compared "In the Center of the Wind" with Tong Yichun's "Lonely Left and Right", Tong Yichun also began to sing the feeling in a low voice
stand up.
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 idea was similar to that of 402, but he beat me to it...Are you plagiarizing me?"
Everyone laughed, and Yang Jingxing said, "I also added a little bit of my own experience."
Gan Kaicheng became more serious, 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. I will accept it first if I use this mode.
Structure..."
After all, he has been working for more than ten years. The well-known producer Gan Kaichen expressed his professional opinions very clearly and clearly. He must have many thoughts and worries about Yang Jingxing. He sounds very objective, although there are definitely far more suspicions.
It seemed that Tong Yichun valued Yang Jingxing's idea, but he definitely respected Gan Kaicheng 100%, although Gan Kaicheng was not as humble as Yang Jingxing when he spoke, and 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 this is just like finding a partner. It is almost impossible to find someone you like and suitable.
, especially those with high vision and high requirements, so you should consider it carefully.”
Everyone laughed, and Tong Yichun said carefully after 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 not know what a novice’s idea is. Whether it is targeted, superficial, or particularly divergent.
, everyone can fully demonstrate their sincerity.
Until lunch time, the atmosphere of the meeting was active. Even Yang Jingxing, a newcomer, was quite active. So when Gan Kaicheng summarized the meeting 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 Yang Jingxing went back upstairs after the meeting, and asked Pang Xi to ask Dai Qing if he had time at noon and could he come now, and also: "Do you have a takeaway phone number?"
Pang Xi asked: "Meet first or eat first?"
Yang Jingxing said: "If you say it's convenient for her, she'll come right away. The meal can wait."
