Chapter 266 Chapter 265 The last piece of the puzzle

After the online contract was finalized, within a week, Walker, a young man from Northern Europe, delivered the finished product.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhe immediately called him back and asked him to modify it.

Three days later, Walker came up with a second version.

Xu Zhe's reply was not as good as the first version, so he continued to revise it.

Three days later, Walker's third edition was handed in.This time, Xu Zhe didn't call back to have someone change it, but he was still a little dissatisfied.

"There is always a gap with the original version..."

It was another Saturday night, Xu Zhe sat in front of the computer and sighed.

He knew that Walker should have been sixteen or seventeen years old when he actually created that hit single, but now this guy is only 14 years old, younger than Xu Zhe.Fortunately, although Walker is young and inexperienced now, he really helped.At least, according to his requirements, the music was made into a presentable form.

In the previous life, the first hit was "Fade", a typical piece of electronic music without vocals.Later, based on this electronic music, a version of "faded" with a female voice was adapted.Before that, the requirements he gave Walker were based on the first version.

The initial idea is simple.Just follow the creative trajectory of the previous life, with a little push at most.But now it seems that it is still a bit taken for granted.

So he replied: [You rest first, I will try some new melodies, and then I will hand them over to you for production. 】

Walker: [Sorry, I may not have satisfied you.I just want to know, does the reward we agreed on in advance still count?I have no intention of going on strike, I just want to confirm. 】

Although there are no symbols to express emotions, Xu Zhe can see the anxiety of the other party just by reading this text.

He replied: [The remuneration will not change. 】

Walker: [You are so generous, thank you!I will definitely work harder next time! 】

Xu Zhe certainly did not intend to deduct the other party's reward.Thirty thousand yuan is really nothing to him now, but if it can attract a promising talent, it will be a great deal.

Then he called someone at the opposite door.

"Hey, Feifei, are you free now? Well, I'm at home too. Can you come over now? I have something very important that I want to talk to you about."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhe stood up and opened the door.

He walked from the study to the door of the room. As soon as he turned the door handle and pulled it in, he saw the girl frozen at the door.

Tang Lingfei was standing there with her right hand raised, obviously planning to knock on the door.

Xu Zhe: "You came really quickly."

Tang Lingfei raised her face and said, "That's right. When I said 'immediately', I really meant 'immediately'."

Xu Zhe: "Okay, come in, little pony, let's talk to you about music."

He took the initiative to find her, which made Tang Lingfei very happy.But the casual title made her very confused: "Who is the little pony?"

"Just kidding, don't mind."

Xu Zhe just suddenly felt that this girl ran over whenever she shouted, a bit like the protagonist's beloved horse in the game.But the difference is that Xu Zhe can't ride a horse like in the game.

He took the girl into the study and moved a chair in front of the computer monitor.

Then, he sat on another chair, picked up the mouse, and clicked on the game music folder.

"These are all semi-finished products. You can listen to them and tell me how you feel." Xu Zhe clicked to play.

The speaker next to the monitor rang.But as Tang Lingfei listened, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

She muttered: "Does it have anything to do with the few clips I gave you? What a big change..."

Xu Zhe: "Well, it's equivalent to re-creation. And I also hired someone to make electronic music, so it sounds even more different. These three pieces of music are three different versions."

Tang Lingfei nodded, stopped talking, and listened silently.

Xu Zhe stood up and closed the window to avoid the noise outside.Then he sat back in his chair and stared at the girl who was listening intently.

He has seen many people say that serious boys are the most attractive.But at this time, he discovered that at this point, it may not matter whether he is a man or a woman.

Tang Lingfei has always given him a vibrant image of the childhood sweetheart next door. Of course, in fact, she is indeed the childhood sweetheart next door.However, ever since she was a child, this girl seemed to be a bit reckless, and words like talent and charm were never associated with her.

But at this time, the girl was supporting her chin with one hand and tapping her index finger gently on the table with the other hand. Her serious look made Xu Zhe feel something different.

After listening to all three versions, Tang Lingfei commented: "The first version is very natural, but a bit ordinary. The second version is not ordinary, but not natural at all. It always feels a bit..."

Xu Zhe: "Harsh?"

Tang Lingfei nodded: "Yes, that's the feeling that something is wrong. Because the second version has too much sense of fragmentation and sounds too strange. The third version is much better. I think it can be used as the background music of the game. It’s definitely enough.”

Xu Zhe sighed: "It's enough, but I always feel that since we're here, why don't we keep improving?"

Tang Lingfei: "How do you want to keep improving?"

Xu Zhe: "The two of us will compose the music. I will mark the usable parts and the unusable parts, and then you will try to fill in the syllables."

Tang Lingfei thought for a while and asked, "You don't know what this piece of music should be like, but you know what it shouldn't be like. Is that what you mean?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "Yes, I can rule out wrong answers."

Even if he has no musical talent, at least he knows what the original music sounds like.The greater the difference from the original song in my impression, the further away from the correct answer it will naturally be.

After trying various methods to copy songs without success, he could only resort to the clumsiest elimination method.Fortunately, the young original author had helped him narrow down the areas that needed to be excluded.

He opened the third version with music editing software and extracted the main melody.Horizontal lines with different heights symbolize the tones that rise and fall along the time axis.

"These, these, and this paragraph, plus these two paragraphs. These are the ones that need to be changed now. Leave it to you."

Tang Lingfei stared at the screen and geared up: "Okay, I have a mission tonight."

Xu Zhe was a little surprised: "Can it be done in one night?"

Tang Lingfei: "Your game has been finished, all that's left is the music, right? Then I can't hold you back. Tonight, you see how I finish it!"

Although it feels like this girl always has a bad habit of randomly inserting flags, he certainly won't dampen her enthusiasm at this time.So after saying "Come on", he picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Song Huaifeng:

[I need to revise the contract I drafted for Walker before.Because I may have a songwriter here again. 】

Although Tang Lingfei didn't mention remuneration at all, Xu Zhe didn't intend to let her work in vain.
