Chapter Forty-Eight: This Is the End

"How's this house? Two bedrooms, well decorated, very clean room, located near Yenching Film Academy, 9th floor of a high-end apartment, with good ventilation and lighting, definitely a house that is exactly what you are looking for. Xia Bing said ostentatiously.

"Not bad." After some inspection, Jiang Lin smiled, considering his own special situation, he was not ready to live in the school dormitory in the future, he simply asked Xia Bing to find a house for himself, for the apartment that Xia Bing was looking for, he was naturally very satisfied, how to say it, in addition to the environment and conditions that meet his standards, more importantly, the rent of such a house is only 2000 yuan, which is of course higher than his previous snail house rent, but compared with the rental price in Yanjing in 2016, it is undoubtedly too cheap. Those who have not been reborn through the journey are completely unable to experience this refreshing feeling of picking up a big bargain.

"What's not bad, can't you say it's very good?" Regarding Jiang Lin's answer, Xia Bing said unsatisfactorily.

"Isn't this my purpose to spur you to keep up and never stop?" Jiang Lin chuckled indifferently: "By the way, Sister Bing, what kind of house are you renting?" ”

"I'm not as extravagant as you, it's just an ordinary one-bedroom apartment, with 800 yuan of rent per month." Xia Bing smiled.

"In this way, if we don't share a house, I will suffer a loss and I won't charge you rent." Jiang Lin had a smile in his eyes.

"Get out, don't beat me up, I'm not interested in young men." Xia Bing scolded with a smile, but obviously not really angry.

"What do you think, your mind is too dirty, and how can I hit your mind on you, if you want to fight, it's Yuxin's idea." The smile in Jiang Lin's eyes was even stronger.

"Please, are you so hurtful? Am I that bad? Xia Bing said dissatisfied.

"I didn't say that you were bad, it's just that Yuxin and them are better." The corners of Jiang Lin's mouth turned up slightly: "Okay, just kidding, you don't have to take it seriously, but seriously, you really should change to a better house, anyway, you are not bad for money now, and you don't have to deliberately save money, believe me, we will only earn more and more in the future, there is no need to wronged yourself." ”

"You have never thought of wronging myself, you know? Rather than renting a better house, I would like to have my own house in Yanjing as soon as possible, so keep up the good work, boy! Xia Bingyan smiled.

"Damn, how can I be in a hurry to make money." Jiang Lin pretended to wail.

"Come less, it's important to get down to business, let's go out to eat first, and then come back to clean up the house, buy daily necessities, and strive to get it all done today, starting tomorrow, you will be busy with the preparation and filming of Li Man's new album zuò and "Huanzhu Gege". Xia Bing scolded with a smile.

"Understood, understood." Jiang Lin nodded with a smile

Jiang Lin was relaxed, but at the same time, some people were very depressed.

"Sister Fan, can you only use this way to hype? We know the specifics, but others don't, and during this time, people in the company talked about me in private, completely treating me as a joke, thinking that my new album was going to be a mess. Li Man said into the phone bitterly.

"What do you think? The company has spent money on publicity, can you stop if you want to? I know what you said, and I also feel aggrieved, but Manman, the company is also doing this for your own good, relax your mentality, it doesn't matter how others talk behind your back, the important thing is to get benefits from it, isn't the current situation very good? Your popularity has been greatly improved, as long as the quality of the album is excellent, I believe that sales will be greatly improved, and that Jiang Lin, of course it is not reliable to be the producer of your new album, but it is still possible to write songs for you. On the other side of the phone, Fan Xiaojun, who is Li Man's agent, reassured.

"Sister Jing, I know everything, but I still don't think it's good, in fact, I don't think about it so much, I just want to make a good album and win the love of fans with my own strength." Li Man said very seriously.

By strength? Fan Xiaojun shook her head with a smile, this stupid girl is too naïve, if someone else says so, she has to ridicule and mock it in her heart, the reason is very simple, tsk, what kind of confidence does this have to dare to say such a thing, is it a unique natural good voice, or has unparalleled extraordinary singing skills, or has super creative ability, if not, heh, there are too many good-looking people in this world, not everyone is irreplaceable.

"Manman, I understand and support your thoughts, but what, this is the decision from above, we can only choose to obey, do our own thing, don't think so much, the company will definitely not harm you, okay, seize the time to rest today, ensure the best physical condition, and be busy tomorrow."

"Okay, Sister Fan." Li Man replied unwillingly.

Why, I really don't want to, does being a singer have to be like this? Putting down the phone, Li Man buried his head in his knees, like a lonely and helpless kitten

According to the agreed time, Jiang Lin came to Hanhai Records again after meeting Xia Bing the next morning.

"Are you Jiang Lin?" has not explained the intention, the beautiful girl at the front desk has already looked at Jiang Lin with a curious look, with a faint look of strangeness in her eyes, after announcing Jiang Lin as the producer of Li Man's new album, Jiang Lin has become a celebrity within Hanhai Records, and it just so happens that there are photos in the overwhelming reports on "Huanzhu Gege" during this time, as a staff member of Hanhai Records, it is difficult to know Jiang Lin.

"That's right, I am, where are they, Mr. Ji, we have made an appointment." Jiang Lin smiled slightly, not caring what the girl in front of him was thinking.

"Mr. Kang, they are all in the conference room now, and after you come to the company in the morning, I will take you directly to the conference room." The reception girl at the front desk took away the strange look in her eyes and said with a programmed smile.

On the way to the conference room, all the Hanhai Records staff I met looked at Jiang Lin with curious and strange looks, but Jiang Lin was calm, and he had already been mentally prepared for this, but he couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart, no one wanted to be treated as a joke, saying that they lived for themselves and didn't care about the opinions of others, but it was extremely difficult to really do it.

"Wow, our all-round genius of music and screenwriting is here, Jiang Lin, everyone wants to see if you are as handsome as the photos in the report." Ji Chengshan said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Jiang Lin chuckled.

"No, we can't wait to see you." A middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Jiang Lin, let me introduce you, this is our President Kang." Ji Chengshan said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Kang!" Jiang Lin smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello Jiang Lin, I have long heard Lao Ji say that you are extraordinary, and today I saw that you are really handsome among musicians and screenwriters, and we will trouble you with the production of Li Man's new album." Vice President Kang Menghui said with a smile on his face, as if he completely regarded Jiang Lin as a real maker.

"Thank you Mr. Kang for your compliment, my appearance can indeed only be found among musicians and screenwriters." Jiang Lin smiled, paused for a moment and continued: "I haven't had the opportunity to express my gratitude before, thank you very much Hanhai Records for trusting me and giving me a precious opportunity. ”

Like Kang Menghui, Jiang Lin seemed to have regarded himself as a real ruler in his words.

"Jiang Lin, you are too modest, your strength is obvious to all, and we are all looking forward to your results." Kang Menghui said quietly.

"Thank you Mr. Kang for your trust in me, I feel that the pressure has suddenly become so great, I can't say anything else, I can only go all out to live up to everyone's expectations." Jiang Lin smiled calmly.

"Jiang Lin, this is the music director Director Yu, who is specifically responsible for the company's record production business." Ji Chengshan introduced.

"Hello, Jiang Lin, your works are good, and you will have the opportunity to exchange music creations together in the future." Music director Yu Weijie didn't mention Li Man's new album.

"Okay, it's my honor to be able to communicate with seniors like Director Yu about music creation, I am all blindly thinking about writing songs, I haven't gone through any systematic learning, and I will trouble Director Yu for your advice." Jiang Lin had a bright smile on his face.

"Really humble, songs like "Serving the Country with Loyalty" and "The Bride Is Not Me" are not something that can be written by fooling around." Yu Weijie said meaningfully.

After greeting several people one after another, it was finally Li Man's turn.

"Hello!" Li Man said lightly, looking at Jiang Lin's expression was very complicated, with a deep disgust and an indescribable pity.

"Hello, Miss Li, I am very happy to cooperate with you again, I believe that our cooperation this time will be very pleasant." Jiang Lin smiled slightly, indifferent to Li Man's cold attitude, it was obvious that the other party did not trust him to be a good ruler, and he was not as good at covering up as others.

After greeting everyone, Jiang Lin immediately asked Ji Chengshan to take him to the recording studio and officially started work.

"Miss Li, I always feel a little awkward, Li Man, don't mind if I call you that, in this way, you sing your best song first, I want to hear your voice." As soon as he entered the recording studio, Jiang Lin went straight to the point and said that generally speaking, a singer's best songs are the easiest to hear the advantages of his own voice.

"Okay, I'll sing 'Autumn Fairy Tale'." Li Man was not verbose, and walked straight into the recording room, she wished to end today's work as soon as possible, the important thing was not to see Jiang Lin, originally she had a lot of curiosity about Jiang Lin, but now some are just awkward.

No matter what kind of thoughts Ji Chengshan and the others had in their hearts, Jiang Lin came to the recording table calmly, and through the huge transparent glass above, he could clearly see Li Man wearing a headset standing in front of the lyrics stand.

Sitting down in the seat in front of the recording table, Lin Yuquan calmly put on the monitoring headphones, glanced at the dazzling recording studio equipment in front of him, turned his head to Ji Chengshan and said: "Teacher Ji, please operate it, you are most familiar with the equipment here, I am only responsible for listening to the songs." ”

"No problem." Ji Chengshan smiled, came to the seat in front of the recording table, sat down, and started the equipment with ease.

When he was ready, Jiang Lin calmly gestured to Li Man inside.

Li Man soon sang "Autumn Call", which is the representative work of Lin Xiaowen, the former head of the Jade Girl Sect in Hong Kong, and it can be described as a good lyric and music.

Jiang Lin listened to Li Man's singing expressionlessly, and through the guò monitor headphones, he could hear the singer's closest to the real sound quality without any modification.

In the eyes of Yu Weijie and others, Jiang Lin's expression at this time was extremely serious, and he seemed to be really ready to be a qualified producer, but he didn't know that Jiang Lin, who was serious in their eyes, was listening to Li Man's singing with curiosity and appreciation.

After Li Man finished singing, Jiang Lin was noncommittal about Li Man's singing just now, but said calmly: "Okay, let's sing a song with a cute style." ”

After Li Man finished singing again, Jiang Lin also said calmly again: "Very good, let's sing a lively song next." ”

In this way, Li Man sang eight songs in a row, "OK", Jiang Lin smiled slightly and made an OK gesture to Li Man in the recording room, announcing that the audition work was over.

"That's the end of it?" Ji Chengshan looked stunned, Jiang Lin's choice of listening to songs was very targeted, but just by listening to the songs, you can fully understand the characteristics of a singer's voice, what are you kidding.

"Of course." Jiang Lin smiled brightly, what if not, he didn't know how to understand the characteristics of the singer's voice through singing, it was enough to sing eight songs, and it was just a waste of time to sing again, his famous music director had no extra time to waste, his eyes swept over the people present, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, I will do my best to complete the work of writing songs for Li Man, and then officially start the album production." ”

Hard work, what kind of hard work is this, looking at Jiang Lin's sunny smile, Li Man only felt angry, but he couldn't help but laugh at himself, isn't this normal? Do you need to have special expectations for him?

Not only her, but also Yu Weijie, Kang Menghui, Ji Chengshan, Fan Xiaojun and others are all like this, and even Xia Bing, who doesn't know how to make music, also feels that Jiang Lin's simple procedures are like going through the motions.

"Okay, then I'll bother you." Kang Menghui smiled reluctantly, and as soon as Jiang Lin and Xia Bing left, he immediately turned his head and said to Yu Weijie beside him: "Old Yu, Li Man's new album will be handed over to you." ”

"Jiang Lin, are you sure you can write a song for Li Man just by listening to it so casually?" After coming out of Hanhai Film and Television, Xia Bing immediately asked this question that was bothering her.

"What do you think, I said Sister Bing, can't you have a little confidence in me? Every time. Jiang Lin shrugged.

"Again, unless you succeed in proving yourself." Xia Bing said with a smile.

"Come again, okay, you wait, don't drop your jaw then." Jiang Lin waved his hand.
