Chapter 77: Spotlight Ceremony
The two agreed on a time and place to meet, and Fang Yu arrived first, a tall, well-behaved, energetic man, nearly thirty years old, and his face was always filled with enthusiasm.
Seeing Jiang Li, Fang Xuan immediately got up, smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with him, and said quite excitedly: "It's better to be famous than to meet, after hearing your "Ice Rain" from the Chinese Music Festival, I can't stop, and I'm looking forward to when the full version will come out." ”
"I'm ashamed, you're holding me up too much. Jiang Li said modestly.
The two sat down separately, and after some in-depth exchanges, Jiang Li learned that Fang Yu was Fang Tianming's son, who returned from studying abroad and was currently the assistant to the general manager of Huaxia Records, and had accumulated a lot of work experience, but this was the first time to deal with such a large transaction alone, so he was extremely excited.
"This is my proposed haode contract, you see, if there is no problem, we can officially sign it. ”
Jiang Li quickly scanned the more than a dozen pages of the contract, and the content was accurately printed in his mind, and then said, "It doesn't seem to mention which songs to choose?"
"This is outside the contract.,It's negotiable.,Anyway, as long as it's created by you and you own the copyright.,Of course,Since it's a collection,,You must choose more haode.,I also made a list according to the opinions of the company's specialists.,Please take a look.。 ”
A total of eight songs, arranged in chronological order as: "Big City, Little Love", "Fairy Tale", "Don't Talk", "Summer Blown by the Wind", "Match Heaven", "I Am a Little Bird", "Christmas Knot" and "Ice Rain", these are indeed the top quality of the songs he has created so far, among which "Summer Blown by the Wind" can be selected mainly because it is the only male and female duet love song in Jiang Li, which is very special.
"I don't have a problem anymore. Jiang Li smiled slightly.
Fang Yu hesitated slightly: "I'm a little unhappy, please bear with me, I only feel like eight songs are recorded on a record, after all, this is distributed nationwide, and even sold overseas, which may affect sales, I don't know ......"
"Are you trying to ask if there's a new song?"
"Well, with your musical talent and your consistently productive quality, I think there is hope, so I take the liberty of asking, if you can do better, why not? ”
"Yes. Jiang Li said without the slightest hesitation, "If I'm not mistaken, the contract says that this record is scheduled to be released in the first month, which means that there is still almost a month to go, right?" ”
"Yes, but the song must be finalized before the Chinese New Year. ”
"That's fine, at least add a new song. ”
Fang Xuan opened his mouth slightly, he didn't expect that this proposal really got a definite response, and besides, the other party said it so surely, almost without thinking, what gave him such self-confidence?
Fang Xuan would never know the real reason, but from this, he realized that Jiang Li was a terrible person, a terrible musical genius.
"By the way, please don't deviate too far from the previous eight songs in the new song style, otherwise you can't put it on the same record, in addition, I don't know if there is anything I can help with, in fact, there are very few people like you who compose, compose, arrange, and sing all of them, and generally speaking, they are all done separately. ”
"No, I can do it on my own, and I have a partner, and they will help me share some of it. ”
"It's Shu Yutong and Tang Shishi. Fang Xuan smiled meaningfully, obviously doing his homework before this, "Now everyone calls the three of you by the Jiang Li combination, Jiang Cheng is really outstanding, talented and beautiful, endless, you must go and see it if you have the opportunity." ”
"Please let me entertain me when the time comes. ”
"Of course, I won't be polite, so don't be polite to me in the capital, you must give me face for this meal tonight and let me pay. ”
Fang Xuan turned to say: "There is one more thing, the company jihua has MV for all the songs, "Big City Little Love", "Fairy Tale", "Don't Talk", "Summer Blown by the Wind" and "I Am a Little Bird" The five songs only need to be modified and improved on the basis of the original MV, and the remaining three songs must be produced separately. ”
"Well, yes, but I want to make my own decisions about how to shoot. ”
"No problem, I've seen the MV you shot before, the form of movie animation is very creative and innovative, with your ability to definitely do this job, as long as you don't bother, we will provide jishu support and human support. ”
The two talked happily, and after dinner, they dispersed.
Stepping on the snow on the road, making a creaking sound, Jiang Li tightened his clothes, walked against the cold wind, his head was extremely clear, he was thinking about what to choose for the next song, but he didn't make a decision for a while.
When he returned to the hotel, he found everyone sitting around the TV watching commercials, and he couldn't help but wonder what he was doing, "What are you doing?"
"Watching TV. Tang Shishi glanced at him and said.
"What is not good to see, how to look at the advertisement. Jiang Li couldn't understand.
At this time, I listened to the TV and said: "Tianle Mobile invites you to watch the "Focus Ceremony - 2007 Best Newcomer Award Winner Jiang Li's Interview" ......"
Jiang Li was stunned for a while, it turned out that he was waiting for this show, and he had forgotten all about it.
Although Jiang Li himself does not take this seriously, but other people are quite concerned, not only in this room, but also in Beijing, the whole country and even overseas There are many people looking forward to this program, as early as yesterday, some media began to report on this matter, and today it is even more large-scale and appearing, Huaxia TV is big and big, and everyone is paying attention for a while, and only Jiang Li is too busy to know.
At eight o'clock, the show began to play, and the first thing that appeared was the host, a short and conventional opening statement, and the camera accompanied the other party's fingers to Jiang Li.
Wearing a set of casual clothes, Jiang Li sat on the sofa, his legs slightly spread, and showed a very sunny smile to the national audience in front of the TV, not to mention, the teeth were really white.
"Silly Li, are your teeth so white? they can't be modified with jishu, right?" Tang Shishi glanced at Jiang Li suspiciously.
"Maybe it's the lighting effect of the camera," Ai Wenjing continued, "Actually, I think it would be nice if Jiang Li smiled like this usually, just like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student." ”
"It's true that Ah Li usually smiles, but smiling also has the benefit of smiling, low-key and connotative. Zhang Nara maintained.
Jiang Li saw a few people talking seriously about his smile and teeth, he really couldn't cry or laugh, it was rare that he wanted to show the sunny temperament of a sixteen-year-old boy at the request of Wu Tingting, the head of Huaxia TV Station, and it could also cause controversy, as for the teeth......
"Actually, my brother's teeth are really white, and there is a faint fragrance. ”
Whew!
Everyone couldn't help but look at the ripples of the river in unison, what is the situation of this "faint fragrance"?
Ripple blinked his big eyes, looking innocent, which made the others feel ashamed for a while, they must have wanted to be crooked, and hurriedly turned their heads to watch TV.
The next is the interaction between the host and Jiang Li, the host asks questions, Jiang Li answers, these questions have been shown to him before, and he basically has the answer in his heart when he comes on the stage, so his attitude is calm, unhurried, and clear.
The questions are well-designed and representative, and they ask everyone's voices.
I just listened to the host: "The "Ice Rain" you came up with in the second round of competition undoubtedly had a decisive effect on your winning of the Best Newcomer Award, a very shocking and fascinating song, but it is only a short time or two before the review committee announces the keywords, will this time be too hasty?"
This is indeed a flaw, because it is too unbelievable, for this flaw can be described as rumors, versions, conspiracy theories are rampant, people who hold this view think that Jiang Li actually has a big background background, so he learned the key words in advance, and prepared the song "Ice Rain" for this, some people further speculated that Jiang Li's other songs may not be created by himself, in fact, all this is just the "star-making movement" in the background.
Of course, the flaws in conspiracy theories are also easy to find, after all, Jiang Li's identity is innocent, Jiangcheng in Jiangsu Province is from an ordinary family, and he is really based on solid evidence, how can he have a big background backstage? How big is it to create this series of songs unconsciously and manipulate the background backstage of the Chinese music festival? Besides, if you make a star, you have to choose an ordinary teenager as the entry point and set up many obstacles, this has to be a painful backstage?
In addition, as we all know, keywords are always decided by the jury the day before, and it is still almost impossible to create the song "Ice Rain" with just one more day.
So the genius theory that is-for-tat with conspiracy theories was born, since the formation of human shijie, there is no shortage of geniuses, and Jiang Li is a peerless genius who is not born!
Whether it is a conspiracy theory or a genius theory or other opinions, at this moment, what people want to hear is Jiang Li clarifying the facts himself.
Jiang Li returned to his usual smile and said: "This should be the opportunity, do you remember the rain on the afternoon of the first day of the festival? At that time, I was in the hospital, I knew that my work was unsuccessful, and I was very depressed, just like this cold rain, so I came up with the inspiration for this song, and I couldn't stop it, I just wanted to vent my feelings in a proper way, so there was "Ice Rain". ”
These words are half-true, because it did rain in the capital at that time, and he really regretted that he was annoyed, there is an existence of a music palace, and he was defeated, didn't he fail?
The songs chosen are not good enough, and the people are too stubborn to join the big record companies, otherwise they can gather a lot of popularity across the country in a short time.
Maybe he is such a person, even if he is open, he hopes to be down-to-earth and step by step, or maybe it is because of the open hanging that he has no sense of urgency, and he does it casually, not for fame or profit.
The Chinese music festival stimulated him a little.
The host said in surprise: "I see, the lost harvest of the mulberry elm, it is really a chance meeting, can you reveal when it was completely finalized? Is there anyone to help? For example, your best partners, Shu Yutong and Tang Shishi." ”
"Actually, it wasn't completely finalized until after the keyword was released, and in that case, I knew that if I wanted to win, I had to take a gamble, but there was no one to help, and my best partner was just as late as you did. ”
"Genius!" The host praised sincerely, "It's only four days to create "Ice Rain" independently, except for genius, I really don't know how to describe it." ”
"I'd be embarrassed to say that. ”
Everyone looked at Jiang Li on the side, and in the face of more than a dozen deep gazes, he really blushed embarrassedly, just like the expression on TV for a moment, and this moment undoubtedly made many Jiang Li's female fans scream with excitement, because it was so cute!
