I'm not just a director

"Boss, I heard that you were stuck in traffic at the Beijing Airport for more than an hour before coming back?"

Xinghuo Entertainment, Su Qing brought Jiang Peian a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

At this time, Jiang Peian leaned on the sofa tiredly, waved his hands, and said feebly:

"Forget it, why haven't I seen reporters in Beijing so crazy before?"

Su Qing smiled and said:

"I am also a reporter and I am also crazy. After the box office of "Painted Skin" came out on the first day, all the reporters went crazy.

There has never been a film with a higher first-day box office than "Painted Skin" before. Of course they want to interview you right away.

As a result, I saw reports from other places and found that you actually went out for a road show.

As far as I know, no less than 20 media outlets have sent reporters to follow your roadshow route and insist on interviewing you.

Even our Xinghuo Entertainment has received many invitation calls, insisting on making an appointment with you for an interview. "

Hearing this, Jiang Peian smiled and said:

"Forget it, let me take some time off. After this National Day holiday, I feel more tired than I have been since I joined the group a month ago."

Jiang Peian didn't lie. When he was on the set, he only had to pay attention to the pictures on the monitor.

If it works, just pass it, if not, just reshoot it. If the actors in Ding Po Tian are not in good condition, just help them talk about the scene, and there is no need to worry about the rest.

After all, the crew has so many people with dedicated jobs, so there is no need for him as a director to step in.

It's not like a road show. Not only does he have to be the main creator, but he also has to interact and communicate with fans on the spot, and occasionally has to guest host to control the show.

The most terrible thing is that I have to run back and forth in the car and on the plane every day, and my frame is falling apart.

"Okay, then you have a good rest, I will help you with all other activities."

The fatigue on Jiang Pei'an's face was visible to the naked eye, and Su Qing did not prod him any more.

"By the way, how is the settlement going with Daolang?"

Jiang Peian suddenly asked.

Su Qing smiled and said:

"According to your previous agreement with him, he has moved his family here, and the settlement allowance has been paid to him.

I heard that he has bought a house to move his family here, and now he is working at Xinghuo.

Not to mention, he is indeed a person who can produce hit music. When he came to the online music department, he tormented those people.

Several people came to me to complain, saying that Dao Lang was not suitable to be a manager at all. He was more like a catfish put in a group of sardines. "

Hearing this, Jiang Peian smiled. He had not expected such a result.

According to his previous idea, a part of the music business department was used to make Internet terms, and this separated part was handed over to Daolang to take the lead.

As for the singers Shen Yongge poached from other places, as long as they did not sign a contract with Spark Entertainment and debuted as singers, they were all thrown into the online music group.

And these people are all under the control of Daolang.

Who is Dao Lang?

It is not difficult to see from his works that this is a prodigal son.

His music is full of yearning for freedom and independence, and his lyrics are full of love for life and curiosity about the world.

He does not stick to conventions and is not afraid of challenges. His life, like his music, is full of the spirit of adventure and exploration.

But he is more like a traveler. His music is his travel diary, recording his life experiences and insights.

Like a vivid movie, people can feel his joys, sorrows and joys during the journey.

Experience his loneliness and confusion in a foreign land, and appreciate his bravery and persistence in a strange environment.

So, this is a man who is full of freedom, and you expect him to serve as a high-level manager?

When Daolang first came to the online music group, although he was the supervisor, he didn't take care of things.

He only does two things: he writes songs and sings them himself, and the other thing is that others write songs and others sing them.

Everyone writes one song a week, as long as it meets the criteria.

The unqualified person...it's simple, either go on his own, or write two songs that satisfy him in the next week.

After three consecutive weeks of this, if you still don't produce work that he approves of, just leave.

Is it difficult to do one song a week?

Wu Zhongxian asked Jay Chou to select 10 songs from among them if he could create 50 songs in 10 days to help him release an album and make a record.

In everyone's eyes, this was an impossible task, but Jay Chou listened.

He bought a large box of instant noodles, locked himself in the studio, and worked hard to compose songs day and night.

He really accomplished the miracle of writing 10 songs in 50 days. In the end, Wu Zhongxian could only keep his promise and select 10 songs from them...

The later singer Li Ronghao is known as a model worker in the Chinese music scene. He once set a record of writing 10 songs in 15 days, and also recorded the guitar bass hundreds of times.

So much so that I suffered from insomnia for 5 or 6 days...

This is not to say that writing songs is not difficult, these talented musicians have certain talents themselves.

That's why Daolang decided that each person should write a song that satisfies him within a week.

You must know that this is online music, and its quality requirements are far less high than the quality of songs included in transferred albums.

Moreover, Daolang is the reviewer, so the review is not difficult.

Based on these conditions, if those people can no longer write songs, it can only be said that they are not suitable for this bowl of rice.

A singer should not only be able to sing, but also be able to create.

Many singers studied music before they debuted. They can play at least one instrument, and later developed into composing their own music and lyrics.

Just create and sing at the same time.

Some of them may not necessarily have great singing skills, but because of their creative expertise, it is easier for them to stand out in the singing world.

They are the ones who know their own singing skills and singing style best.

Therefore, writing songs for yourself is often a targeted creation, just like tailor-made for yourself.

In this way, his singing and songs have distinctive personality characteristics, so he has great competitiveness in the singer world.

Daolang is such a person, so he also wants others to do the same...

"Don't worry about him, let them work on their creations with peace of mind, and tell Shen Yongge that he won't get involved in the Internet music group's affairs.

He quickly implemented the albums of Zhang Liangying and Zhang Jie. This is his top priority now. "

Jiang Peian said with a smile.

Su Qing nodded and said:

"I understand. Regarding the albums of these two people, Mr. Shen has recorded two demos respectively. Listen to them when you are free. I will put them in your drawer."

"understood."

After Su Qing left, Jiang Peian opened the drawer and saw two audio tapes lying there, with the names of Zhang Liangying and Zhang Jie written on them.

Jiang Peian picked it up, put it on the videotape and listened.

Zhang Liangying has become famous in the music industry because of the song "Painting Heart", and it is said that a company has already asked her to perform in commercials and be an endorsement.

Zhang Liangying's personal image is not bad. Such appearance and voice have naturally attracted many fans. It is normal for her to receive invitations from brands.

Shen Yongge also knows the advantages of Zhang Liangying's dolphin sound, so 9 of the 5 songs in the album are high-pitched songs.

They all sound very good. With Jiang Pei'an's grasp of the current music scene, at least three of these songs will be popular due to her current popularity.

This is already a very impressive ratio. You must know that having a popular song in an album already indicates the success of the album. However...Jiang Pei'an felt it was still a bit lacking.

So he started humming a song and writing something on the paper with his brush.

"If this is not the end, if I still love you

If I want to believe that you are the only one

If you hear this, if you still give up

Then this is love that I can’t resist..."

……

"I finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up.

Happiness is hard to come by, which makes people cherish it more

I finally waited for you, I almost missed you..."

The two songs written for Zhang Liangying, one is called "If This Is Love" and the other is called "Finally Waiting for You".

Needless to say, the gold content of these two songs is definitely at the top level now.

Especially the last song "Finally Waiting for You" can be said to be a must-have song for many marriage and love variety shows in later generations.

It was even selected as one of the top ten most romantic proposal songs by later generations of netizens. The lyrics and melody are very pleasant to the ear.

It also became a hot internet meme for later generations.

With the blessing of these two songs, plus "Painting Heart".

Zhang Liangying's first album has three hit songs guaranteed, plus a few songs that Jiang Peian is optimistic about, this album is a success!

After the matter of Zhang Liangying's album was finalized, Jiang Peian listened to Zhang Jie's tape again...

Jiangpei Security Department listened to ten songs, and the result...

Shen Yongge probably relapsed into his old rock habit, so all the songs he arranged for Zhang Jie were more rock-oriented.

It's not that Zhang Jie can't sing rock and roll. His vocal range spans a lot and he can easily control from bass to treble.

This allows him to show high musical literacy when singing.

Moreover, Zhang Jie's voice is highly recognizable. His voice is clear and high-pitched, giving people a feeling of passion.

This makes him stand out from many singers and become a unique singer.

If you sing a rock-style song with this kind of voice, it will work, such as "Reverse War".

A classic piece that is loved by primary school students of later generations, it sounds very exciting.

But to be honest, these rock songs arranged by Shen Yongge are still the same old style and cannot bring out the characteristics of Zhang Jie's voice at all.

"With a voice like this, I have to sing some popular love songs."

"He doesn't understand your heart and pretends to be calm. He doesn't understand love and treats it as a game."

He doesn't know how to express his love for each other, so he only sighs when he's sorry..."

In the eyes of many fans, this song has heart-wrenching lyrics and moving music. "He Don't Understand" can be called a "tear-jerker" of sad love songs.

In the lyrics, there is the unspeakable pain and helplessness in the girl's heart.

It is said that this poem originated from a real emotional experience of Dai Yuedong, one of the lyricists.

When Dai Yuedong was studying abroad, he fell in love with a girl, and the two spent a very good time.

After returning to China, they had no choice but to break up due to geographical distance and various pressures from reality.

I didn't feel anything at the time, nor did I think breaking up would cause much harm to the girl.

However, as he grew older and more experienced, he finally realized it after experiencing many things.

How I didn't understand my girlfriend's heart back then, and how deeply I hurt her.

But all this is irreversible, leaving only deep guilt and self-blame.

So, he wrote this feeling into a song, and the song "He Don't Understand" was born.

I regret my "understanding" back then and lament my helplessness now.

“Open the window and see the stars, still watching in the night sky.

I couldn't help but feel a little warmer in my heart.

Flashes of light, trying to light up the dark night, the atmosphere is so peaceful..."

This song is called "We Are All the Same", and it should be the class song for many post-95s when they go to school.

The lyrics are relaxed, romantic and catchy. This is a serenade about love.

The clean acoustic guitar and the quiet singing are as comfortable as pressing against the ears.

Although the straightforward lyrics are plain, they still have a warm feeling when listening to them on a quiet night.

The short chord combinations in the chorus are repeated in an orderly manner.

One after another, it hits the heart slowly and powerfully, performing the charm of soft lyrical songs.

Like Zhang Liangying, Jiang Peian plans to release at least three guaranteed hits for Zhang Jie.

For the last song, Jiang Peian struggled for a long time and finally chose the song "The World".

Jiang Peian has always felt that Zhang Jie's voice is particularly suitable for ancient songs.

This song "The World" combines Chinese-style tunes, fashionable arrangements, and melodious classical string music.

Coupled with Zhang Jie's passionate yet tender performance, the chivalrous tenderness of not loving the country but loving the beauty is vividly expressed.

Especially the transition section of the song uses a whole Chinese-style rap.

It embodies the unique sense of rhythm and rhyme like Chinese poetry, and also makes this song unique among many similar works, quickly catching people's ears.

Three songs, three completely different feelings, but Jiang Peian believes that Zhang Jie can handle it.

In the original time and space, Zhang Jie released his first EP "The Most Beautiful Sun" after the Kuainan competition.

Although the EP was released less than a month before the end of the year, it created the miracle of winning the annual sales championship in a short period of time.

This also made him the longest active singer of that generation.

After finalizing the albums of the two singers in the company, Jiang Peian called Shen Yongge over.

"Mr. Jiang, you are looking for me."

Entering Jiang Peian's office, Shen Yongge asked with a smile.

"Old Shen, I have listened to these two demos."

"how do you feel?"

Shen Yongge asked with a smile.

Regarding the two albums of Zhang Jie and Zhang Liangying, he spent a lot of effort to create them, so he naturally cares about Jiang Pei'an's feedback.

Jiang Pei'an didn't show off, and said with a smile:

"It can be seen that she really put her heart into it. Several of Zhang Liangying's songs are good, but I added two new songs. You can see which ones in her album are not suitable and replace them directly."

After hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, the big stone in Shen Yongge's heart finally fell to the ground.

Of the 10 songs, excluding "Painting Heart", two of the remaining 9 songs were rejected, which is considered a good result for him, Lao Shen.

"As for Zhang Jie's album... I'll knock it all back and rewrite it."

Hearing this, the smile on Shen Yongge's face suddenly solidified.

Damn, it’s too early to be happy... (End of chapter)
