Chapter 529
"What do I want to do with you?" Ye Zheng asked Su Momo. Yesterday on the phone, Su Momo asked Ye Zheng to accompany her to do something in the afternoon. Confidentiality is not spoken. "Buy a piano. Su Momo stretched out her hand to hail a taxi and said to the driver, "Jindian Piano Shop." ”
Golden Classics. A large global chain of piano shops, mainly engaged in piano business. The Jindian piano store here is also the largest piano shop in Hengyang City, and some of the pianos that are more commonly used today can be bought. And the quality is guaranteed, and the after-sales service is also reassuring.
"Buying a piano, you can come by yourself?" Ye Zheng was a little surprised, the price of a piano is tens of thousands of yuan, and ordinary students will ask their parents to accompany them to choose and pay for the piano, such as Su Momo, who buys it by himself, is really rare. If it is Ye Zheng instead, I am afraid that if I go out to buy a laptop worth thousands of yuan, I will have to be accompanied. As for the guitar he brought home last time, when asked by his parents, he said that he bought it with the money from the essay published in the magazine, but even so, he was taught to save money. "It doesn't matter, the manager of the piano shop is a good friend of my father. I used to buy my piano from him. So I can go myself. I chose the piano and ordered it directly, and the rest was for him and my dad, and I waited to use the piano at home. In the taxi, Su Momo and Ye Zheng sat side by side. Su Momo thought about it for a while, it seemed that this was the first time she had sat next to Ye Zheng so closely. Although she was wearing a thick down jacket, the occasional contact between her arms and limbs still made Su Momo feel a little pounding and cranky. So much so that when he stepped out of the car door, Ye Zheng saw Su Momo's face flushing, and said in surprise: "You motion sickness?"
"Dizzy you!" Su Momo said angrily, and walked into the piano shop first. There was something strange in her heart, although she felt comfortable after coming out, but she suddenly missed the feeling of being in a taxi. Well, I'm going to have to take a taxi when I go back anyway...... Let him accompany me home first! Having made up her mind, Su Momo couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, she had never tried her best to get close to a boy before. This...... Walking into the Jindian Piano Shop, a service lady greeted her with a smile on her face: "Welcome! Is there anything I need to serve the two of you?" "Hello, is Manager Wang here?"
As soon as the service lady heard that she was coming to find the manager, she said, "Manager Wang is in the office, I called him, please wait." Then, the service lady called the manager, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes arrived here, saw Su Momo, and said with a smile: "Momo is here, your father called me, and said that you want to pick a piano, come and come, uncle will take you to choose, tell uncle which one you want!" Hehe, it's better to be expensive, take care of your uncle's business for your father!" "Uncle, you are so rich, why do you still pit us poor households?" Su Momo grinned.
"Why, uncle, this is just a part-time job. But your father is his own boss, and his nature is different. One is waiting for the salary, and the other is making a lot of money on his own. Manager Wang teased a few words, his eyes fell on Ye Zheng's body, his expression was a little strange, and he asked with a smile: "Momo, relatives or classmates?"
"Classmates. Su Momo said, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, the last time he went to buy guitar with Ye Zheng, he was still at ease. Now I feel a little embarrassed and overwhelmed. Manager Wang noticed Su Momo's expression, and his face was a little strange, but then he regained his calm. At this time, Ye Zheng greeted Manager Wang very politely: "Hello Uncle Wang!"
"Hello, hello. Manager Wang smiled, glanced at Ye Zheng deeply, and then smiled: "Come on, Momo, you two come with me to see which piano you choose." I'll just send you home when I get back. "Come, let's take a look!" Su Momo said to Ye Zheng. They walked in front of the exhibition stand, Manager Wang introduced: "Some good piano brands are basically still like that, in recent years, several new styles have been introduced, the quality of old brands and old manufacturers is trustworthy, and it is more secure to buy them." In addition, there is a piano brand called 'Red Bean' that has recently sprung up. Industry insiders have a very good evaluation of it, no worse than the old brand. You can take a look. ”
Manager Wang led them to a piano, the milky white piano is very beautiful, and it is also very suitable for women. Ye Zheng looked at Su Momo and said with a smile: "This piano is quite suitable for you in terms of appearance." Let's try the tone and check the sensitivity of the keys or something. "You still choose a piano?" Su Momo said in surprise. In the past, Ye Zheng showed that she could play the guitar and play it so well, which had surprised her, and now Ye Zheng showed that she could choose the piano, which made her feel incredible. "Some. Ye Zheng said modestly, in fact, he is quite talented at the piano, and he has reached the level of performance in his previous life. Choosing a piano is a piece of cake.
"Then you can help me pick it. Su Momo said, she wanted to see if Ye Zheng really knew the piano. You know, most people don't have the conditions to buy a piano, and if you go to any musical instrument tutorial class to learn piano, you may not know how to choose a piano. Su Momo thought to herself that Ye Zheng might have just inadvertently read some remarks on the Internet about choosing a piano, and he might not really know how to choose a piano. Her complexion changed, and she regretted what she had just said, if Ye Zheng didn't know how to choose the piano, wouldn't it be a shame to go up? At this moment, from behind them, a voice came: "This hillbilly will still choose the piano?" Brother Hao, are you ridiculous?"
Ye Zheng and Su Momo frowned at the same time, because they didn't need to look back to hear who the person who said this was. Zhou Xiaoxiao. I met Zhou Xiaoxiao when I bought a guitar last time. Ye Zheng was just about to step on the exhibition stand when he took it back, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was still wearing heavy makeup, intimately holding a yellow-haired young man who was a little non-mainstream and somewhat obscene. Su Momo also looked back and saw Zhou Xiaoxiao, she had already begun to fight back unceremoniously: "I remember that not long ago, the hillbilly in your mouth bought a guitar of more than 2,000 yuan. I don't know how much you bought?" Zhou Xiaoxiao's face changed, the last time she went to another guitar shop after being humiliated, she ended up buying a guitar for less than five hundred yuan. Just said that someone else's hillbilly, but at this time, he was so ridiculed by Su Momo, Zhou Xiaoxiao's face was extremely ugly. However, the yellow hair she was holding said disdainfully: "More than 2,000 yuan is nothing, it's not enough for buddy's cigarette money for a day." Xiaoxiao, don't be like them, the more people like this, the more authentic hillbillies. If you have a little money, you want to charge a big one. Cut, and do not look at their own virtues. I also brag that I can choose a piano? My buddy is a grade 8 piano, and I don't dare to say that I can choose a piano......
"That's because you're not capable. Ye Zheng interrupted him. "What are you talking about, stinky boy?" Huang Mao was angry and was about to rush over. "What are you doing!" Manager Wang yelled, and two security guards also came over, Manager Wang waved his hand to signal that they didn't have to come, and then scolded Huang Mao: "Zhang Hao! Who gave you the guts to make trouble here with me?" Manager Wang obviously knew Huang Mao. "I'm sorry Manager Wang, I was a little impulsive just now. Huang Mao's face was casual, and he didn't have any apology at all, and said as soon as he changed his words: "But, Manager Wang, what should I do if such a guy who doesn't know how to pretend to understand can fiddle with the piano and break your piano? This piano is a red bean, right? 580,000." I don't believe he can afford it. ”
"Don't you know, which part of the piano is broken, just replace the part and repair it?" Ye Zheng said: "Besides, how do you know that I don't know how to choose a piano......? She was afraid that Ye Zheng would really choose the piano, and if she said any gambling curse, she would shoot herself in the foot. "If I know the piano, what's the matter?" Ye Zheng said to her. Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't dare to speak, not necessarily the yellow-haired Zhang Hao beside her didn't dare to speak. In Zhang Hao's opinion, this guy who pretended to be calm was just a paper tiger. Calmness is nothing more than a disguise for a weak heart. So, he said: "If you know the piano, I will buy this piano and give it to you!" "Zhang Hao, don't talk nonsense!" Manager Wang opened his mouth to stop him. "Hmph, Manager Wang, I'm your customer here, you have no reason to drive me away, right? Besides, if I make this bet with him, whether you win or lose, it won't affect your business. Especially if this calm buddy wins, I will immediately pay for this piano!" Zhang Hao said disdainfully.
"You are responsible for all the consequences!" Manager Wang no longer persuaded and said lightly. He was not under the attention of everyone, and the calm Ye Zheng walked towards the "red beans". "Pretend, pretend, see if I will demolish you later!" Zhang Hao snorted. Ye Zheng turned a deaf ear, sat in front of the piano, played a few notes at random, and then stretched out his hand to play a short simple melody. Su Momo's eyes lit up, although it was only a short melody, from the sense of rhythm and coherence, as well as Ye Zheng's posture, it could be judged that Ye Zheng had definitely played the piano, and it would not be too bad. It's just that playing a simple melody is the same thing as choosing a piano. Su Momo looked at Ye Zheng expectantly, waiting for Ye Zheng to bring him a new surprise.
At this time, after Ye Zheng finished playing the melody, he seemed to nod with satisfaction, and then pressed a key with his index finger with his left and right hands, pressed it quickly and continuously, nodded lightly, and held down a key again to quickly tap the ...... Watching Ye Zheng's fingers press continuously on the keys, Su Momo's face looked even more surprised. This is an important step in the selection of a piano in order to check the sensitivity of the keys in motion. After Ye Zheng knocked on some keys, he sat down and played. The continuous strumming seems to be disorganized, one moment playing softly, one moment playing harder, and the next time pressing the pedal. There is no melody to speak of. "Cut! Listen! Listen! What does this talk about! At this level, he still said that he can play the piano and choose the piano?" Zhang Hao sneered loudly: "I heard him talk about a short melody before, and I thought he really had some ability, but now it seems that he is really a straw bag." I probably don't know how to learn that piece of music, I feel that I am very powerful, I don't know how thick the sky is!Hehe, I can see such a person a lot, I know a little bit of things, I feel that I know everything, and I think I am very good......" "What do you know about a straw bag!" Su Momo opened his mouth and scolded loudly: "You are only level eight, you know a fart!" "Momo, don't get excited." Manager Wang pulled Su Momo, looking at Su Momo, there was a posture of rushing up to fight.
Then, he looked at Zhang Hao and said with an unkind face: "But what Momo said is not bad." You say he doesn't understand anything, but I don't think he's playing randomly? Hmph! Let me tell you! He's checking the keys!" The piano with a good feel is easy and flexible to play, and has a sense of depth. The black and white keys have similar elasticity, and the keys have the feeling of 'bouncing fingers'. "Play hard, if there is a key sound that explodes, it means that there is a problem somewhere, especially at the junction of the mid-bass and mid-high tones, play it a few times to check how well it is connected. And if you really know the piano. You should be able to hear that although these sounds are messy, they don't explode! When playing the chord, press the right pedal and listen to whether it sounds loud, and when you release the pedal, the sound should disappear completely without any noise. It's especially important that the keys are still responsive when playing and pedaling!"
"Now you listen!" Manager Wang's face was also a little surprised: "Now, he is playing some arpeggios, trills, and tremolos! It is tremors! Do you know what this is for? This is also to test the timbre of the piano! However, more importantly, being able to play such various sounds skillfully means that he already has a certain ability to play the piano! It is not a straw bag as you say! Choosing a piano is different from playing the piano, you don't understand this, I understand! He also understands!" Manager Wang's words, coupled with Ye Zheng's continuous playing on the stage, made Zhang Hao pale as if he was overwhelmed. After holding it for a long time, Zhang Hao snorted and said: "I don't believe that this kid really understands so much! If his level is really that high, why don't he play all these sounds well? and talk nonsense? This shows that his strength is not good!" "How do you know that my strength is not good?" At this moment, the piano fell, Ye Zheng looked at Zhang Hao and said coldly. Then he smiled at Su Momo and said, "The piano is very good, silver, sensitivity, comfort, all very good." You can buy this if you like it...... Oh, I forgot, today someone said they could pay to buy it for you. "Well, I don't care if you choose a piano or not. Now, you and I will try it, and if you play better than me, I will fulfill my word and pay for the piano for this woman. If you're not as good as me, hehe, the same, you can buy me this piano. That's it, do you dare?"
"Yes. Ye Zheng said lightly. Zhang Hao smiled again: "But I suspect now that you can't afford this piano at all." So, what if you lose? Do you want to pay it back with your arm, or do you ...... A leg?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Hao's eyes were already full of fierce light. In the entire Hengyang City, relying on some forces in his family, he called for wind and rain, in Hengyang City, except for those officials and businessmen with real power, there are really not many people who dare to provoke him, and there are even fewer people who dare to humiliate him.
Baina Company. In Lin Wanqing's recording studio, in addition to Lin Wanqing, there are Guo Meimei, Song Xiao, and two other people sitting here. If Ye Zheng was here, he would be able to recognize one of them. China's top singer, former king, and now gold medal music producer, Zhang Deqiang.
In the eighties and nineties of the last century, Zhang Deqiang was once a well-known music king in China, active in the singer industry for more than 20 years. It is also famous all over the world. After entering the 21st century, as he grew older, he gradually faded out of the singer world, and turned more energy to focus on behind the scenes, writing songs, being a songwriter and music producer, and devoting himself to creating a future generation of stars, transforming into a gold medal music producer. Five years ago, Zhang Deqiang signed a contract with Baina and became one of Baina's music producers. Two years ago, Zhang Deqiang became a shareholder of Baina and became one of the senior executives of Baina.
Yesterday, Zhang Deqiang received a call from Lin Wanqing, asking him to come to Baina Company. You must know that although Zhang Deqiang is the music producer of Baina, there is no need to stay in the company all the time. A lot of things can be done by working from your own home. So, generally nothing happens, and no one else bothers him. Lin Wanqing's call to Zhang Deqiang was also deliberate, and it was the result of discussions with Guo Meimei and Song Xiao. It can also be said that this call was actually made by the three of them to Zhang Deqiang.
Subsequently, on the phone, Lin Wanqing said that they had discovered a new star of creators, and hoped that Zhang Deqiang could pay attention to it. This is the result of their consultation. Ye Zheng's creative talent has been fully affirmed through the fourteen songs he has come up with. None of the musicians who have seen the songs created by Ye Zheng have not been amazed by the creative talent of this eighteen-year-old high school student, whether it is lyrics or songs, and even Ye Zheng will write some opinions and suggestions on the arrangement on the song score, and those opinions will always amaze Guo Meimei.
Then, Song Xiao invited Ye Zheng to Baina again and asked him to give some opinions on Song Qian's arrangement. Ye Zheng still doesn't say much, but every time he puts forward an opinion, it must be eye-catching. Even the orchestra teacher next to him was shocked and felt unimaginable. Arranging music requires a lot of experience, and it is far from being talented, which is different from writing songs. What experience can an eighteen-year-old high school student have? Is this really a supreme genius? So, after discussing it, they decided to give Zhang Deqiang a call. Originally, Zhang Deqiang really didn't pay attention to what Lin Wanqing said, but he also knew that Lin Wanqing would not call them for no reason, so he asked them to take a picture of Ye Zheng's song sheet and send it to him. I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. Zhang Deqiang was also amazed by Ye Zheng's creative talent. After reading a few sheet music, he called back and praised them for telling him about it in time. It must be praised that if such a thing is not reported in time, is not noticed by the high-level, and is not brought to Baina as soon as possible, it is a serious brain drain, and it is likely to cause certain economic losses in the future. The value of a good music creator is by no means less than that of a good singer. And Ye Zheng, a creator who is only eighteen years old, can come up with songs of such quality, and can also arrange music by himself, and the arrangement style is even different.
Such a person can be called a genius, Zhang Deqiang is more than half a hundred years old and has been in contact with countless musicians, and there are absolutely only a handful of geniuses like Ye Zheng. The only few of them later became top singers or songwriters and producers.
Talent is the most important thing! It's the same for a record label. Nowadays, the entertainment industry is booming, many large and small music companies want to get a piece of this big cake, and a number of new record companies and music culture companies are growing rapidly. Competition among major music companies is also fierce. In addition to competing for singers who have already become famous, training new talents. Identifying young talent is also an extremely important task for major companies. Some companies have even set up special departments to tap talents and attract new talents. A dazzling newcomer like Ye Zheng is undoubtedly what every music company wants. If you find out, you have to grab it quickly, such a promising teenager, once he grows into a top creator, is definitely a powerful boost for a music company. Even if you can't become a top talent, such a person who can come up with such quality songs now is definitely not far behind.
Zhang Deqiang attached great importance to this matter, and immediately flew from his residence to Hengyang City, called Guo Meimei, Song Xiao, Lin Wanqing, and another top arranger Huang Qiusheng, to meet in Lin Wanqing's recording studio. Song Xiao had already brought the scores of the twelve songs he had there to Zhang Deqiang, read all the fourteen songs, and heard that these songs were just taken out by Ye Zheng in just half a month, Zhang Deqiang was amazed. "Unbelievable! unimaginable!" Zhang Deqiang clapped his hands and said: "Such an absolute genius must sign in to our Baina." In addition, I am in charge, all the songs of this album that he will write for Wanqing will be priced at 100,000 yuan each. Also, we must recruit him to come to our Baina as a contracted creator, and even let him be a music producer in a few years. Tell him that if he agrees, give him a guaranteed annual salary of 500,000 yuan, and calculate the money for each song he creates or produces a song!"
Zhang Deqiang's words surprised everyone present a little, but they also understood that Ye Zheng was definitely worthy of being so wooed by Baina. Otherwise, if the three albums of Qin Ge, Song Qian and Lin Wanqing are released one after another, Ye Zheng, a songwriter, will definitely attract the attention of major music record companies. When the time comes, it is unknown who will fall into the flowers. "Forget it, I'll call him personally!Tell me his phone number!" Zhang Deqiang took out his mobile phone. When he received a call from Zhang Deqiang, Ye Zheng was preparing to write "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" for his sister Ye Nan, and he had read some script writing formats and skills in the past few days. carefully recalled the plot of the drama version of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" before he was ready to start writing.
Yun Zhifan: It's so quiet Shanghai! I've never seen such a quiet Shanghai. It seems like there are only two of us left in Shanghai. The rain just now was so pleasant, there was an indescribable smell in the air. Hamayashi, you see, the lamp in the water, it seems...... Ryu Ehama: It's like a scene in a dream. Yun Zhifan: It seems that everything has stopped. Just wrote a paragraph, the phone rang, an unfamiliar phone number, and it was not local to Hengyang City.
Ye Zheng asked if someone had made the wrong call, and after receiving the notification, a deep voice came from the other side: "Hello, is it Ye Zheng?" "Yes, it's me, may I ask who you are?" "Hello, I'm Zhang Deqiang." Zhang Deqiang said directly, he felt that Ye Zheng was a person who was engaged in music, and there was no reason not to know him. If you say the name, you can definitely know it. However, Ye Zheng has only a limited time to come to this world, although he is quickly learning a lot about the entertainment industry in the music industry in this world, but he also has limited knowledge. And the original Ye Zheng didn't like an old artist like Zhang Deqiang, and his knowledge was limited. So although he knew that there was such a person, he couldn't remember him just by name.
"Eh, Zhang Deqiang?" Ye Zheng was stunned, thought for a while, and asked, "I'm sorry I don't remember you, may I ask what grade you are my classmate?" Zhang Deqiang was almost choked to death by Ye Zheng's words, and coughed twice before saying: "I'm making music, Zhang Deqiang of Baina Company." As soon as he said this, Ye Zheng remembered this person, and hurriedly said embarrassedly: "Hey, I remembered you, hello hello!" The beginning was a little awkward, but the conversation was very happy later, and then Zhang Deqiang invited Ye Zheng to Baina for an interview. Ye Zheng looked at the time, there were still three or four hours before dark, so he agreed to Zhang Deqiang and went out to take a taxi to Baina. On the way, I checked Zhang Deqiang's information and familiarized myself with this person, so as not to make jokes about some things because I didn't know. Then he thought about whether it was time to buy a car for his father, the family car was still a second-hand car that his father bought a few years ago, and now it looks quite dilapidated, and it is time to change it, and it will be more convenient for him to go out in the future. In Baina, Zhang Deqiang's studio, Ye Zheng met Zhang Deqiang, Guo Meimei and Huang Qiusheng. Two hours later, Ye Zheng left Baina and took a taxi home.
"He was a genius, but he turned down my offer. Even if the price was raised to a million a year, it was not agreed. Zhang Deqiang watched Ye Zheng take a taxi from the upstairs through the glass window, and said with a sigh. "There's a slightly strange question. From the time we talk to him about music expertise, it seems that his level of expertise is also limited, and his depth of knowledge is also limited. It's really hard to imagine that these excellent lyrics and arrangements were come up with by him. Huang Qiusheng said. During the conversation, they explored Qin Ge and Song Qian's album tracks, and of course some other expertise. There are some questions and insights that Ye Zheng can answer. But some things with depth are not something that Ye Zheng can express clearly now, after all, he was just an amateur before.
"He's only eighteen years old, he's still a student, and it's not normal to know too much. Only in this way can we show that this young man is really a genius! In the future, we will continue to contact him, and if he has any songs, he will also win them into our hands. And if you have the opportunity, you will invite him to Baina. Once Wanqing releases their album, Ye Zheng will definitely attract the attention of many people...... "It's just a little strange, he has such a talent, but he still chooses to go to high school and college......"
