Chapter 9 Weiyang Records
In fact, after being promoted to the competition last night, Ning Sheng has decided to take out the music works that he "created" on the earth, so that their Chaoyang combination can soar into the sky. In this music competition, they are completely popular. stand up.

So, when Ding Xuan and Yang Rui asked him if he had no new songs, Ning Cheng smiled and took out a score of "Green Apple Paradise" from his pocket.

This song is the classic single of the Little Tigers, the Treasure Island group that was popular all over Asia in the previous life.

What few people know is that the song Little Tigers, including many other classics, is a cover of the RB pop group "Youth Team". Of course, for fans in the Chinese area, people are most familiar with Little Tigers The team's cover song.

This song "Green Apple Paradise" is also a song that expresses youthful youth, sweat and spirit. At the beginning, this single was an instant hit in the three places on both sides of the earth in the last life, thus establishing the origin of their idols. status.

Both Yang Rui and Ding Xuan knew the score, so after reading it, they both looked happy. With the example of the previous "Youth Practice Manual", and now there is such a good song, they are obviously very excited about the next competition. I am confident.

Yang Rui glanced at Ning Cheng with a complicated expression, then smiled and said to Ning Sheng, "Xiao Sheng, this song is good, have you finished the arrangement, if so, give it to me, and I'll send it to the recording studio immediately, We can have an accompaniment rehearsal tomorrow."

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Ning Cheng took out the composed arrangement and handed it to Yang Rui again without changing his expression. Ding Xuan happily touched Ning Cheng's shoulder and said, "You can do it, kid, just keep quiet." , get everything ready."

After Yang Rui took it, he looked at it and said to the two of them, "Okay, Ding Xuan, you and Xiao Sheng go back first. I'll go to the recording studio last time. Let's see you tomorrow afternoon."

As he said that, Yang Rui left first and hurriedly went to record the accompaniment. Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan also left with a smile and went home.

Speaking of the arrangement, Ning Cheng really wanted to thank Ding Xuan for being the professor who never got tired of him during the three years, otherwise, even if he could replay these songs countless times in his mind, Ning Cheng might not be able to compose the arrangement. Copy on paper.This is all thanks to the knowledge of various musical instruments that Ning Sheng learned from Ding Xuan in the past three years, which allowed him to copy and arrange the songs in his head bit by bit.

The night is deep, and the north in October can already feel a little bit of coolness. However, in a big city like Xi'an, people still shuttle on the busy streets, many buildings are brightly lit, and many office workers are still working overtime. work.

As one of the five largest entertainment groups in the country, Zhang Houfeng is the music director of Weiyang Records under Hantang Entertainment, but now he sighs helplessly. He is not even interested in taking a second look at the exquisite meals served by his subordinates. In front of the glass window, looking at the night view of the city outside, my thoughts are flying.

Although the five major entertainment groups have always been relatively similar in power, in recent years, with the popularity of the film market, the major groups have increased their investment in film and television, and the investment in music has been increasing steadily every year. The response was also good, but Zhang Houfeng, as the music director of the record company, didn't know how other companies did, but the profit of Weiyang Records last year, the year before, and the two years not only did not increase, but began to decline.

For this reason, the boss of the company held more than a dozen meetings with their high-level executives, but there was no good solution, because the decline in performance was not due to anything else, but because the quality of the company's albums released in the past two years was not as good as Other companies, especially, with the impact of European, American, Japanese and Korean music in recent years, singers want to just pick up a couple of good songs as before, and then add ten rubbish works, and the title album will be released. Fans will no longer be cheated.

In the past, there were no better choices for music, but now fans can choose more music works, so the sales of their albums are not good.

If it was just that, it would be nice for them to make a good record for the company's singers. However, unfortunately, when they were concentrating on preparing to record a new album for the company's biggest first-line male singer Liu Yun, Liu Yun Restaurant In a car accident, he was lying directly on a hospital bed, and as a result, he needed to rest for a year to recuperate.

So they turned to record an album for Feng Yu, another first-tier female singer in the company, but the album was not recorded well. Suddenly, the news broke that Feng Yu was involved in a third party, robbing a second-tier female star in the circle for a man, and was photographed. Photos, all of a sudden, Feng Yu changed from a popular first-line female singer to a mistress who everyone scolded, and with the help of other entertainment companies, even if they put all their efforts into public relations, Feng Yu could only temporarily stop working and go abroad to relax. The recording of the album is hereby voided.

Except for the big names of these two companies, other suitable big-name singers either have just released albums or have other arrangements, such as concerts, or to participate in the filming of the head office's film and television drama.As for the remaining second- and third-tier singers, it is not worth the company to spend so much resources and money to record new albums. Otherwise, even if they are recorded, they will be suppressed by the albums of other first-tier singers from other companies after they are released. To achieve everyone's original purpose.

What is even more annoying is that a gold medal producer of the original company was quietly poached by Xingyue Records, a subsidiary of Starlight Entertainment Group, one of the five major entertainment groups.As soon as this incident happened, it directly alarmed the big boss of Hantang Entertainment Group. Now the big boss has sent a message that if the performance of Weiyang Records cannot improve this year, not only will their senior management have no bonuses, but at the annual meeting of the head office , also have to be ashamed.

That's why Zhang Houfeng, who is the music director of Weiyang Records, is so anxious. It's fine if he loses his bonus, but he doesn't want to go to the head office for training, it's embarrassing.

This year, seeing that it was about to pass, Zhang Houfeng couldn't sit still in the company anymore, just now that the music competition sponsored by his company was going on, he personally brought people out to see if there were any good seedlings.

Because there is no suitable singer in the company now, everyone now agrees that if you want to reverse the performance before the year, you can only find a newcomer, and also have a special selling point, a newcomer who can become a hit, the only way, in the company's With strong support, it is possible to detonate the music circle once the album is released, which can not only greatly improve the performance of the company, but also drive the singers of the entire company to reverse this embarrassing situation.

It's a pity that he came out of Kyoto and has gone through five sub-divisions, but he didn't find a satisfactory newcomer. Now that he came to Xi'an, although he hasn't read the information, but Xi'an has never produced anything good in the past. Singer, so, he didn't report any hope, he just went through the motions once, and then rushed to the next sub-division tomorrow.

"Director, hurry up and have some food. It will get cold in a while. You haven't eaten all day. There is no such delicious food on the plane tomorrow morning." Zhou Yu, Zhang Houfeng's assistant, came in from the outside. , looked at the untouched meals on the table, but said.

Zhang Houfeng turned around, walked over, pressed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, wiped his face and said, "Xiao Zhou, you can eat, I don't have an appetite, I'm going to wash up and go to sleep, you should also go to bed early."

After speaking, he turned and walked into the inner room.Zhou Yu sighed softly, and didn't say anything more, because she knew it would be useless to say more.

"Director, then I'm going back to rest. If you need anything, call me." Zhou Yu glanced at the delicious food on the table, and took a Roujiamo back. She didn't have dinner yet.

"Huh——" Zhou Yu was about to leave after taking the Roujiamo. When he returned to his room, he saw a CD lying alone on the table. Looking at the writing on the CD box, it was the tenth place in the Xi'an Division. Jinsan's video.

"Director, have you watched the video of the Xi'an Division?" Zhou Yu asked.

"I didn't see any good seedlings here. If you're bored, go and have a look. It's just a way to pass the time." Zhang Houfeng's voice came from inside.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu picked up the CD on the table and shouted into it, "The director, I went to see it."

"Okay, I see." Hearing the director's impatient tone, Zhou Yu hurriedly left and returned to his room.

After washing, he put the CD into his notebook, Zhou Yu lay on the bed with a bag of potato chips in his arms, and started watching the video.
