Chapter 396: Straight Talk

Yang Jingxing inquired again, and knew that it was Pang Xi's little cousin named Lina who wanted to be admitted to the Conservatory of Music. It's not hot-headed, this Lina has loved singing since she was a child, and her family has also focused on cultivating in this area.

Yang Jingxing also heard it and said: "If you want to be a pop singer, you don't need to go to the conservatory." ”

Pang Xi was a little embarrassed: "I don't know exactly what they want...... I told my family about work, and my mother knew about you, and then my aunt knew about you. ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Let's meet...... You book a convenient place to eat. ”

Pang Xi nodded and didn't ask for more opinions.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Yang Jingxing received a call from Qi Qingnuo, saying that she had arrived at the unit. Yang Jingxing went online and passed on the total score and score of "Burning".

It is obviously inappropriate to engage in the obvious rock tune of "Burning" in the Chinese orchestra, so Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo have already discussed, as far as entertainment is usual at that time, it will not be as hard as "It's Us", maybe it will come in handy one day, after all, the target of 306 is young music fans.

Yang Jingxing asked, "Have they all arrived?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "I'm late." ”

Yang Jingxing: "Go to bed early in the future, it's too far." ”

Qi Qingnuo: "So you bought your house so close?" Yang Jingxing's new house is indeed very close to the Chinese orchestra, and it definitely doesn't take a quarter of an hour to drive by himself.

Yang Jingxing: "There is a providence in the dark. ”

Qi Qingnuo: "Ha Lu Ha." ”

Yang Jingxing: "Let's go to work." ”

Qi Qingnuo: "Okay, bye." ”

Yang Jingxing went to the recording department to take a look first, Chang Yiming was carving the accompaniment of "Dead and Alive", and it was almost completed under the professional skills. Chang Yiming wanted Yang Jingxing to check it, but Yang Jingxing said no.

After talking nonsense with Zhong Yingwen for a while, Yang Jingxing went downstairs to find Gan Kaicheng to discuss Tong Yichun's affairs. Gan Kaicheng didn't seem to be very concerned, and after affirming some of Yang Jingxing's ideas, he didn't have any constructive opinions, but he was in a hurry to make an appointment to go to the Brilliant Bar to have a fun together.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Do you bring a secretary?"

Gan Kaicheng shook his head solemnly: "Don't be kidding...... You can bring it, the mother-in-law wants to see it, haha ”

After obtaining Gan Kaicheng's consent, Yang Jingxing went back to the office and began to contact the arranger. Like his contact with the composers, those arrangers showed concern for fellow newcomers and celebrities, but did not show special expectations and good expectations for creative collaboration.

As a member of Party A, Yang Jingxing also begged his grandfather to worship his grandmother, and his attitude couldn't be better, and it took more than two hours to temporarily reach the arrangement intention of Tong Yichun's four songs with the two arrangers. It's just the intention, and it will take more time to follow up in the future.

When he was about to get off work, Yang Jingxing went to ask Pang Xi about noon: "...... When will they arrive?"

Pang Xi said: "It's already here." ”

Yang Jingxing blamed: "If you didn't say it earlier, where is it?"

Pang Xi said: "The place to eat, the food hall I went to last time." ”

Yang Jingxing couldn't wait: "Let's go." ”

When she left the company, Xu Lanxin greeted Pang Xi: "Gone?"

Pang Xi nodded: "There is something to do when I go out, I won't make an appointment with you at noon." ”

The other front desk was in charge of Yang Jingxing: "Teacher 402 will see you again." ”

Yang Jingxing hehe, and said to Pang Xi: "My favorite thing every day is to enter and exit this door." ”

Pang Xihe, the two front desks giggled.

But Yang Jingxing's footsteps almost didn't stop, and he rushed to the elevator to greet the manager of the artist department: "Manager Mo, go to dinner?"

Manager Mo nodded and smiled: "Qiao...... Busy these days, right?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm not busy with you. ”

Manager Mo also said: "Dai Qing is recording a new song...... There are four and two, and she will really be busy in the future. ”

Yang Jingxing was ashamed: "We are all pretending, and we still have to test Manager Mo for the real thing." ”

Manager Mo smiled: "It's all about doing things for the company, and no one can miss it...... Did you see the boss today?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I haven't seen it for many days. ”

Manager Mo nodded: "You guys also eat?" ”

Yang Jingxing regretted: "We still have some things, next time." ”

went downstairs in the elevator with nonsense, and after getting on the bus separately, Yang Jingxing asked Pang Xi: "Manager Mo usually doesn't talk much?"

Pang Xi nodded: "Hmm...... I can't say anything. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Manager Mo is also a veteran in the company. ”

Pang Xi nodded: "Well, I've heard before, he was a driver for the boss at first......"

The two chatted for a while, and there were not many situations that Pang Xi could reveal to Yang Jingxing.

In fact, it is obvious that Hongxing's artist department is different from the A&R department of big record companies. Hongxing's artist department is mainly responsible for handling some of the singer's daily affairs, and does not participate in the planning and production of song albums, and even the singer's appearance and packaging design has little say, more like the singer's assistant unit.

Hongxing's real power department is the planning department, which has a lot of resources in the company, and they have the right to dictate the music production of singers, but they rarely do so, because they are not experts in music, although they may have a more accurate grasp of the market than the editorial department.

The planners of the planning department are responsible for designing and arranging the activities of the artists, for example, Tan Muwen is in charge of Dai Qing, she and Dai Qing decide what activities or commercial performances to participate in, and the artist department will prepare air tickets and vehicles, and communicate with the organizers of the commercial performances about some details.

In addition, the business department is also a department valued by the boss, because they are the company's salesmen, who pull business and money. In the past, the main task of the business department was to buy records, but in this era when it is widely believed that "records are dead", they began to shift their business capabilities to find various cooperation opportunities, as long as it could bring real returns to the company and the singers, they could think of any way.

Of course, it is also possible that the business department has pulled a business but the planning department feels that it is inappropriate, for example, it is impossible to ask Cheng Yaoyao to take over an agricultural product advertisement.

Pang Xi was in a good mood to chat today: "...... I think Manager Gan is relatively indisputable in the company, and he has no pursuit of power, and he is good for his subordinates. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You are now his subordinate, and so am I." ”

Pang Xihe: "That's not what I mean, I'll tell you." ”

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Are there any well-known contradictions in the company?"

Pang Xi thought for a moment: "It doesn't seem to be ...... At the annual meeting the year before last, they drank too much, Zou Shuang and Ye Chengfang from the business department fought, and then Manager Tang and Manager Sun did it, but nothing happened later. ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You must have helped the personnel department at that time?"

Pang Xi was embarrassed: "I didn't, I don't know what's going on...... The boss was not allowed to talk about it later. ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "It's almost there." I'll have something to say later, they won't blame you, will they?"

Pang Xi nodded: "It's okay." ”

Yang Jingxing explained: "There are many people with dreams, but not everyone is suitable. ”

Pang Xi understood: "Manager Sun used to say that people who are too persistent are easy to cause harm to others. ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "It also makes sense." ”

Pang Xihehe.

Yang Jingxing looked at the time and called Qi Qingnuo to explain: "Pang Xi's relatives said that they want to take the test for Puyin, I'll go and see." ”

Qi Qingnuo didn't ask for details: "In the car?"

Yang Jingxing: "I'll call you later." ”

Qi Qingnuo said yes.

Yang Jingxing hung up the phone, and Pang Xi was worried: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head and smiled: "Report it." ”

Pang Xihehe.

Four people were waiting in the restaurant box, two middle-aged women, a middle-aged man, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Yang Jingxing and Pang Xi entered the door, and the three middle-aged people all stood up. The little girl only glanced at her, and called out to her cousin, her brows slightly furrowed as if thoughtful.

Yang Jingxing apologized: "I've waited for a long time, I'm sorry." ”

The other party responds no, no, welcome, welcome.

Pang Xi introduced: "My uncle, aunt." ”

Yang Jingxing shook hands one by one and greeted each other.

Pang Xi introduced the obviously older housewives who felt a lot: "My mother." ”

Yang Jingxing was more enthusiastic: "Hello Auntie, please take a seat." ”

Pang Xi's mother was very kind: "Xie Lu, thank you for taking care of Pang Xi." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "She takes care of me. ”

Pang Xi didn't have time to be embarrassed, and then introduced the girl who was pulled up from the chair: "My cousin, Lina." ”

Yang Jingxing presciently didn't stretch out his hand, only nodded: "Sit down, delay class, right?" I'm sorry, because I don't have time this weekend, so I chose today." ”

Rina shook her head and sat down, still frowning, not knowing what kind of girlish sorrow she had. She is very beautiful, her facial features are good-looking, and a little light makeup highlights her pink lips and fair and clean skin. The hair is not complicated but it is special, and the clothes and jewelry are not exaggerated but also conspicuous...... In general, it takes a pure and individual route.

Lina's mother, who sat down and was more dressed up, said, "I'm sorry that we've delayed Teacher 402's time." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You're welcome, I'm not welcome." I have discussed it with Pang Xi, and you are welcome, you are still an elder. ”

Pang Xi smiled a little to confirm it.

Rina's father said, "Let's order first." ”

Yang Jingxing didn't drink alcohol, and gave Pang Xi the task of ordering food. Mother and aunt both told Pang Xi to work harder, and Yang Jingxing said don't waste it. It can be regarded as working hours, and Pang Xi basically adopted Yang Jingxing's suggestion.

Rina remembered at this time and said to the waiter, "A cup of yogurt, xylitol." ”

Lina's mother first praised Yang Jingxing: "Teacher 402 is really a talent. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You call me by my name, my name is Yang Jingxing...... We've talked about it too?"

Pang Xi nodded.

Rina's mother reminded her daughter, "You have to call the teacher. ”

Yang Jingxing still shook his head: "No, I'm still a student." ”

Lin Na glanced at Yang Jingxing, that is, at a glance.

Pang Xi also reminded: "Lina, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Lina, who was stared at by his family, said lightly: "I don't have any ideas, I'll take the test myself." ”

Yang Jingxing hurriedly stopped Lina's parents from criticizing their daughter, saying: "This kind of thinking is very right, it really depends on herself, which is the most basic prerequisite." ”

Lina's mother helped her daughter and said: "I am fifteen years old, I am in the first year of high school in the fourteenth middle school, and I have been ...... since kindergarten"

In short, Rina is very powerful, likes and can sing very much, and has received a lot of professional training. Pang Xi's mother also helped to confirm it, and said that Ming Lina's parents are also very cultured people.

Yang Jingxing asked, "What kind of songs do you like to sing?"

"I love singing," Rina said. ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "What do you like?"

Li Na frowned: "Many, I can't finish three or two sentences." ”

Yang Jingxing did not give parents a chance to talk nonsense: "Can you give an example, the most representative." ”

Rina casually said, "Withoutyou, Mariah Kelly." Listening to her voice, there is a little bit of confidence.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Technical, difficult?"

Rina shook her head: "Not exactly. ”

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Are you interested in ethnic harmony and bel canto?"

Rina shook her head decisively.

Yang Jingxing said to Lina's parents: "Uncle and aunt, the Puyin vocal music department only teaches bel canto and ethnic music, and with Lina's current interest, Jinpuyin will not get a lot of help." There are still a few schools in China that offer popular singing courses, I wonder if you have inquired?"

Lina's mother shook her head again and again: "Of course, Puhai people are studying at Puhai Conservatory of Music! Puhai children who like music take the Conservatory as a holy place!"

Lina's father reminded his daughter again: "It's not easy for your cousin to help you ask someone out, and you don't talk yourself!?"

Rina had a helpless and irritated expression.

Yang Jingxing said: "Are you determined to take the Puyin test?"

Lina nodded, as if sneering: "Academic qualifications are a stepping stone." ”

Lina's mother agreed: "You still need a diploma, otherwise you will be looked down upon." ”

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Have you made preparations for this before?"

Lina's mother said: "I've been preparing, the Conservatory of Music examines the comprehensive quality of students, stage experience, and singing skills, and we are very good at Nana." ”

Lina's father said to Yang Jingxing sincerely: "I just came to consult you if I was prepared, otherwise I wouldn't delay your time." ”

Lina's mother added: "I just want to ask you about the right teacher at the school, can you help introduce me?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "The most authoritative person in the vocal music department is Professor Zhou." ”

Lina's father said: "Professor Zhou Xiaoyan, we know the Tao, do you know?"

Yang Jingxing said honestly: "I know, but I don't know it very well." ”

Lina's mother still helped: "Help introduce me, okay?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes, but it won't be a bonus just because I introduced it." ”

Lina's father understood: "This Zhilu Dao, Puyin has a reputation. ”

Yang Jingxing was also serious: "If I go to introduce, I will be responsible for my introduction, so I have to listen to Lina's skills first, is it okay?"

Lina's parents said yes, and Lina was even more confident: "What am I singing?"

Yang Jingxing said: "You don't need to sing, just do a vocal exercise." ”

Rina nodded: "Wait for me to drink a sip of yogurt." ”

After urging the yogurt, Linaswen took a straw. Pang Xi added tea to Yang Jingxing's cup, and Yang Jingxing took over by himself.

Pang Xi's mother said to Yang Jingxing: "Manager Yang, Pang Xi is still young, and there may be deficiencies in work, you have to criticize ...... more"

Yang Jingxing couldn't help laughing: "If you say that, I am even more lacking, and I need to help me a lot...... It's not that I'm younger than you, I have less work experience. ”

Pang Xi smiled and looked at Lina: "Hurry up, it's time to serve." ”

Lina frowned: "What's the hurry." ”

Yang Jingxing understood: "This is to prepare. ”

After getting ready, Lin Na still stood up and started from the center C according to Yang Jingxing's words, and pronounced the most basic and simple scale. Rina also barely brought vibes, apparently practiced.

But Yang Jingxing shook his head when he heard it: "No, do it again"

The second time, Li Na's central C was pinpointed, but the third voice was stopped by Yang Jingxing: "It's high." Adjust it and do it all over again. ”

Lina's mother glanced at Yang Jingxing, and then at her daughter: "What's the matter?

Lina frowned: "I haven't practiced for a long time, and I don't have a KEY!"

When the father's reassurance: "Don't worry, the most basic, you have practiced for so long, you can do it well." ”

Under the caring gaze of her family, Rina adjusted her breathing and came again.

This time, Yang Jingxing listened to Lina's seven tones and apologized to her parents: "Uncle and aunt, I will say it bluntly with my understanding, just in this state, Professor Zhou will not give her a chance after listening to it......

When the parents' eyes widened, Lin Na sat down with her ass and turned her back to Yang Jingxing.

Lina's father was eager: "She sings very well, but she is in a bit of a problem just now, so she can't prepare for it, listen to her sing a while?"

Yang Jingxing continued to apologize: "Uncle, there is no necessary connection between singing well and taking the vocal music department, and many famous singers may not be able to be admitted to the vocal music department of Kaopu now." The first thing I listen to when I take the exam is the basics...... In fact, Puyin's vocal music department and Lina's personal interests and hobbies are two directions, completely different. ”

Lina's mother disagreed: "How is it possible? What is it for studying in a conservatory?

Yang Jingxing patiently explained: "Ethnic and bel canto are very different from pop songs, and the pronunciation is very different. Of course, I'm just saying that she's not in a good state now, not necessarily in the future, I'm just talking about what I've heard. ”

Rina snorted coldly. When I was a parent, I didn't blame it, and I was very unhappy.

Yang Jingxing continued: "Pang Xi is my colleague, she called me here, so I tried my best to tell my true thoughts...... Of course, I'm not necessarily right. ”

Pang Xi didn't speak, and her mother was also a little embarrassed: "How is this...... Rina sings beautifully!"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "That's what I mean, and her voice is also very good." If she can't pass the exam, Pu Yin doesn't mean that she can't sing well, but that the direction of the professional requirements is different. Lina, Maria Kelly Laipuyin, may not be able to be admitted. ”

Rina ignored it, and her father was stronger: "I probably understand what you mean...... But if you really want to take the test, is there any hope?"

Yang Jingxing said: "There is still a year and a half to prepare from now...... The college entrance examination is very important, and I dare not suggest it casually. ”

Lina's face turned and raised his head high: "It's just that I have no hope?"

Yang Jingxing said: "If you are determined, I can introduce Puyin's teachers, who are more professional in vocal music than me. But I would advise against rushing to find a professor, as it will affect the first impression. ”

Rina snorted coldly, and the elders were embarrassed.

Yang Jingxing said to Pang Xi: "Then you accompany Auntie and them, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

Pang Xi was stunned, and her mother reluctantly: "Let's eat together." Lina's parents also kept it.

Rina stood up suddenly, raising her eyebrows: "You have the ability to listen to me sing a song before leaving." ”

Yang Jingxing was cheeky and smiled: "Okay." ”
