Zhang Guan thought of a very suitable song, which he liked very much. It was not difficult to sing the key.

"Professor Zhou, I actually have a song that may be suitable." Zhang Guan said.

"What song? Who sang it?" Professor Zhou asked.

"When I rehearsed with teacher Wang Feng two days ago, he gave me some tips on how to compose songs. When I went back, I tried it. I wrote a slobber song. Or should I sing it to you first?"

What is most needed for songwriting? Not musical skills, but inspiration! Many well-known musicians in China are actually not from the science class, especially those born in the 1950s and 1960s. Due to the special age, even if they want to learn music, they don’t have the opportunity, and many people don’t even read music scores. He entered some art troupes with a good voice, and then started his own music journey; or maybe he would just play the guitar twice, and then learn to write songs by himself and engage in rock bands. Such people can eventually become singers, not because of their musical skills, but because of their unparalleled passion for music and their persistence in ideals.

Write songs without learning music? If you put it in the modern era, you must think that this is impossible, but in that passionate era, it was a very common phenomenon. Just like today's Internet writers, how many are literary majors?

Professor Zhou has also experienced that era, he certainly knows this situation, but does not think that Zhang Guan is that kind of person. He lowered his face and said, "What a joke, how important is the Hong Kong Great Show! How can it be chaotic."

Zhang Guan ignored Professor Zhou's attitude. He felt that speaking with facts was more direct, so he directly sang:

"When I'm different from the world, then it makes me different, and insisting on it is just taking Gang."

"If I compromise with myself, if I lie to myself, even if someone forgives me, I can't forgive."

"The most beautiful wish must be the craziest, I am my own God where I live."

"My last stubbornness with me, clenched my hands and never put it down, is the next stop a paradise, even if I am disappointed, I can't despair."

"I am proud of my stubbornness. I sing loudly in the wind. This time I am crazy about myself. This time I am stubborn with me."

In this song "Stubborn", Zhang Guan sang only one paragraph and stopped. Looking at Coach Zhou across from him, his eyes widened wide, his mouth wide open, and he looked at Zhang Guan with an expression that was difficult to describe in words.

The song "Stubborn" is easier to sing, and can even be said to be catchy. Of course, if you want to sing well, you still need some skills, but if the requirements are not too high, you can sing the charm without superb singing skills.

The first few sentences of this song are not very exciting, and Zhang Guan's completely unprofessional singing makes Professor Zhou even more angry, but when Zhang Guan sang the phrase "I and my last stubbornness", Zhou The coach's face changed completely, and with his professional standards, of course, he can hear the highlights of this song.

"This song sounds very fresh and doesn't need too fancy singing. I'm sure I have never heard this song before, and it feels a bit Hong Kong and Taiwan style. Is it really what Zhang Guan said that he composed it himself? Is he really an athlete? Many of the music majors can’t make up for the tactful tone!” Professor Zhou suddenly felt that he had no sense of accomplishment.

"Is the next stop a paradise, even if you are disappointed, you can't despair." Professor Zhou silently read the lyrics in his heart. He felt a little moved, but more resonated.

People at the age of Professor Zhou have experienced a special era and also experienced too many special things. He remembers when he was young, in the era of sports, he put so many hardships and endured so much pain in the pursuit of music, he had tried to give up many times, but in the end he persevered. And the lyrics of this song in Professor Zhou's ears seem to be telling about his own experience, which immediately touched Professor Zhou's heart

"Is this kid really an athlete? Is it really the so-called explosion of inspiration? Such lyrics can't be written without experiencing some setbacks and failures..." Professor Zhou thought silently.

"Are there any scores?" Professor Zhou asked. But then he felt that he was asking silly questions. How could a sports athlete blindly compose a song?

Although Zhang Guan was able to hum a song, he still shook his head and said, "Where is the music score! Besides, I haven't studied music, nor will I learn music scores."

Professor Zhou nodded and said, "You wait, I will write a song for you now."

Professor Zhou closed his eyes, but there was a picture of memory in his mind. When he was young, he paid for music and was alone and not understood by the world. He insisted alone, countless blows and failures and stood up countless times... With the reincarnation of memory in his mind, charming notes began to appear in his mind.

Professor Zhou waved violently and quickly wrote a sheet of music on the paper. Then he looked at it again, modified a few places, handed it to Zhang Guan, and asked, "Look at how?"

"Uh, Professor Zhou, I can't understand this..." Zhang Guan said with a red face.

"Oh, that's right." Professor Zhou smiled embarrassedly and then said, "I'll play it for you again."

Professor Zhou went to the piano and began to play the tune he just wrote.

Professor Zhou composed music according to Zhang Guan’s singing, so the final tune was very different from the original stubborn song. Compared with it, Professor Zhou’s tune sounds more vicissitudes and more Mature. This, of course, has a lot to do with the author’s life experience. People in their twenties are naturally not as rich as those in their fifties, and Professor Zhou is a person who has grown up in a special year.

"How is it?" Professor Zhou asked after playing a song, but then he smiled naturally: "If you ask you, you ask in vain, anyway, you don't understand. Anyway, I am playing, you Come and sing, we will correct it if there is an inappropriate place

Professor Zhou gave Zhang Guan an accompaniment, let Zhang Guan sing it again, and then Professor Zhou made modifications. In this way, it has been carried out five times, and he has created a more satisfactory song for Professor Zhou.

"Okay, let's do it today, the music is so settled. I will bring a few students over to get the arranger. You go back first, come here to listen to the music tomorrow," Professor Zhou said.

Professor Zhou’s students are at least at the master’s level, and there will even be PhDs who are currently studying. The arranger level will not be lost to many professional musicians.

...

Several senior management executives of the Nike company are having video conferences with the branch companies. The other end of the connection video is Mark Parker, the president of the Asia Pacific region and Brent James, the president of the China region.

"We had contact with Zhang Guan last year, and the field management center has also agreed to sign the contract, but in the end it was unsuccessful. This caused a lot of passiveness in our company. I want to know why? I need A reasonable explanation, I want to explain to the board of directors!" a senior executive at Naike's headquarters asked.

James, the president of China, said immediately: "Our business manager once contacted the field management center and Zhang Guan. The field management center was very satisfied with the contract, but at that time Zhang Guan rejected our contract because of his minors. Invitation. I think it is probably because Zhang Guan personally thought that the price we gave was too low at that time, so I once asked Mr. Parker for more signing money, but Mr. Parker did not approve it."

Although Parker, the president of the Asia-Pacific region, is nominally James's superior, James is directly appointed by the headquarters and has always been eyeing Parker's position, so he simply blamed Parker.

Parker also knew that James had the idea of ​​replacing himself, so he secretly stumbled on James. At the time, James did propose to raise some prices to sign a crown, but in order to suppress James and be in distrust of the Asian sprint project, Parker rejected James’s Claim.

Seeing James blame himself, Parker didn’t have any panic look. Obviously, he had already prepared his speech, and Parker said, "At that time, it was the end of the year. We were facing settlement with the agency, so The funds are very tight. At present, our company's production chain is mainly in Asia. If the factory in Asia is shut down, it will affect our global industrial chain. Therefore, I must seriously consider every cent of the capital."

Parker’s statement is obviously untenable when considered carefully. The huge supply chain of Naike is obviously calculated in units of “100 million”. Parker, the president of the Asian region, cannot even reach hundreds of thousands Can't get it out. However, several people at the headquarters discussed it and finally accepted Parker's statement.

The headquarters continued: "Since Zhang Guan broke the record-breaking Olympic 100m champion, our competitors have noticed him, and many of them have started to act, which makes us very passive, so we next The strategy is to sign Zhang Guan within a reasonable price range. James, you are the person in charge of China, what are your plans for the next?"

James cleared his throat and then said: "Through many previous cooperations, we have a very harmonious relationship with the field management center. I think that under the same conditions, the field management center will give priority to signing with us. However, at present, our Faced with not only our old rivals, but also domestic sports brands in China, the development speed of local sports brands in China has exceeded our expectations. A few years ago, they were only our foundries, but now Several brands have been formed. So I need funds, more funds, otherwise, I cannot guarantee to sign Zhang Guan."

"So how much do you need?" the headquarters asked.

"If it contains advertising, I need a budget of 2 million US dollars per year." James said.

Although James opened his mouth for 2 million US dollars, he actually didn’t have much hope for this number. It’s almost the same as bargaining. If you open up 2 million here, you might have to cut half of it. The opening called a relatively high number.

Headquarters fell into silence. Obviously James mentioned the topic of asking for money, which everyone did not like.

"Parker, the headquarters wants to hear your suggestions." The executives at the headquarters then asked.

"A budget of $2 million is impossible." Parker's statement that James immediately rejected. From Parker's point of view, he does not want James to get more of his own funds in terms of funds, let alone James in the Chinese market. From the ups and downs, the better James’ performance, the greater the threat to him.

I saw Parker continued: "Although the Chinese market is gradually expanding, for most Chinese people, it is absolutely unwilling to spend 60 to 80 US dollars to buy a pair of shoes. For now, Japan is still our Asia’s largest market, so our focus of publicity is still Japan. I think the budget of 2 million US dollars is too much, and I have always been puzzled about the sprint performance of Asian athletes. A successful one may be just a coincidence. Perhaps in the next competition, Zhang Guan cannot achieve such a good result. So I think that the budget of 600,000 to 800,000 US dollars is relatively normal."

At that time, the exchange rate of US dollars was more than 1:8. 2 million US dollars is equivalent to nearly 17 million domestically, and 800,000 US dollars is also close to 7 million domestically. 7 million a year is definitely an expensive endorsement fee for domestic athletes. For example, Liu Feiren, the endorsement value after the Olympics is only 5 million a year, and the value of a tennis sister in the future after winning the French Open in 2011 Probably about 7 million.

The headquarters hesitated and finally compromised their opinions, giving James a budget of $1 million per year.
