Chapter 324: Questioning
"Anita, I know it might be rude, but ......," Tommy/Brown said, turning in the direction of Leaf Zi.
"I take the liberty of asking, yes...... Mr. Yaji, oh I'm sorry, but the pronunciation of your name is a bit difficult for me, I guess I didn't mispronounce it, right? Tommy/Brown had a hard time pronouncing the name "Ye Zi".
Ye Zi shrugged: "Chinese names are not easy to pronounce, your pronunciation is okay." ”
Tommy/Brown was happy: "Really? Thank you. Then I'll call you Mr. Ye? ”
"Absolutely, Mr. Tommy/Brown." Ye Zi nodded.
"OK, I'm sorry Mr. Ye, before tonight's work begins, I would like to take the liberty of asking, have you ever been in contact with the work of a music supervisor before? You know, this is a very professional field, and it's completely different from singing and songwriting. Inexperienced people rush to intervene, which will cause a lot of trouble to the recording work. ”
"Please don't get me wrong, Mr. Ye. Anita chose to record a new song at The/One/Studio, which is a trust, and we at The/One/Studio have to take our responsibility for it. ”
"Mr. Ye, I think you should understand what I mean. If you can, I hope you can take the initiative to quit the production work this time and let someone more experienced take over. ”
Tommy/Brown had a solemn expression on his face.
Ye Zi raised his eyebrows.
Hey? This Tommy/Brown is not a good intention, huh? Let me voluntarily opt out? Did the master step on your tail? So inexplicably questioning the master's level? Sister Mei doesn't have an opinion, which garlic are you?
Before Ye Zi could speak, Sister Mei was not happy, and immediately spoke out to support Ye Zi: "Tommy, I think you should solemnly apologize to Mr. Ye Zi, he is the producer I hired, and I trust him 100% completely." ”
As soon as Sister Mei spoke, Ye Zi was also happy to calm down first and see the other party's intentions before making plans.
"Oh, no, no, no Anita, I don't think I should apologize." Tommy/Brown shook his head, "We talked about this the other day. With all due respect. I think it's irresponsible for you to insist on handing over such a very important work to a young man under the age of twenty to supervise it. ”
"Now, it's time to put an end to this ridiculously worthless argument that we have enough good candidates to do the executive production job. In fact, there's a great executive producer already on the way. He'll be there shortly. As for Mr. Ye, as a songwriter, he can certainly play an active role in the recording process. ”
"But the producer? I'm against it. I stand by my opinion, even if such a decision is an offense to your dignity. ”
Sister Mei didn't expect such a situation to suddenly appear, which made her very dissatisfied.
Sister Mei's face had turned cold.
"Mr. Tommy/Brown, how could you make such a decision on my behalf? This is simply ridiculous! I repeat it again. I don't need any executive producers other than Ye Zi. If this is not what I need, there are countless excellent recording studios in Hong Kong for me to choose from. ”
"Mr. Tommy/Brown, do you want me to find another one?"
Sister Mei was unceremonious, and directly threatened to change places. Even the more intimate "Tommy" is no longer used, and the formal title "Mr. Tommy/Brown" is used instead.
This is enough to show that Sister Mei's dissatisfaction has reached a very high level. didn't go crazy right away, it's still for the sake of years of cooperation.
Tommy/Brown shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.
"Anita, of course you have that right. But even if you change the studio to record your new song, I'd still like you to hire an established producer. Even if you don't choose the one we recommend. ”
"Listen to Anita, we've been good friends for many years and I know this new song is crucial for you. As a friend, I can't watch you joke about something like this. ”
"Anita, think again!"
Tommy/Brown is stern and sincere, and the starting point is also for the sake of Sister Mei's vital interests, and Sister Mei is not good at going crazy unscrupulously for a while. But Sister Mei can't accept this practice of finding someone else without her permission anyway.
Taking a deep breath, Sister Mei just wanted to speak. At this moment, another voice came from behind her.
"Ame. I also...... I'm a little worried. You should also know the importance of this song, now is not the best time to promote the next generation. ”
"Ame, are you...... Think again? We can discuss the candidates again, and it doesn't matter if we don't record it tonight. ”
Talking. It was the sound engineer Ah Kun.
As soon as these words came out, there was an awkward silence in the control room. Sister Mei can ignore Tommy/Brown's opinion, but she can't directly deny Ah Kun's statement as she did just now.
Sister Mei fell silent, pondered her sentences, and was ready to persuade Ah Kun.
Chen Yichen moved his mouth and wanted to say something. Ke Yufan immediately stopped him. On such an occasion and such a situation, it is not for Chen Yichen to express his opinions casually.
"Ahem."
In silence, Ye Zi cleared his throat and focused everyone's attention.
"Sister Mei, all the teachers and colleagues of Xiangjiang, oh, of course, and the venerable Mr. Tommy/Brown, no one seems to have thought of asking me what I think about this matter so far. Is my sense of existence so low? ”
"Please, I'm the one to be the party."
Ye Zi looked around, spread his hands and said with a smile. These self-deprecating remarks lightened the atmosphere in the control room a little more, and everyone smiled.
Sister Mei waved her hand: "Xiao Yezi, I will solve this matter quickly, you wait for a while." ”
"Sister Mei, listen to me." Ye Zizheng said: "Since some people question my level of supervision, it must be my business." If you can't convince them, it won't be good if everyone cooperates and stumbles later, you say? ”
"This ...... Well, then you can give it a try. Sister Mei thought for a while, and then agreed to Ye Zi's request.
Indeed, the producer is the overall position, and if it cannot be accepted by the partners, it is never a good thing for the production of the work. Sister Mei can subdue them, but this is not the best way.
Ye Zi is willing to try to convince them, which is a good thing. Whether it is Sister Mei or Ke Yufan, they are all willing to see such a Ye Zi, even if this attempt ends in failure, it doesn't matter.
They are all focused on Ye Zi's future.
There was silence in the control room.
Ye Zi slowly turned in a circle, his gaze crossed everyone's faces, and then he stood still.
"Sister Mei, Brother Kun, teachers and colleagues in Xiangjiang, I am very grateful to Sister Mei for giving me this opportunity to supervise this song."
Ye Zi smiled and said, but he deliberately omitted the Mr. Tommy/Brown that he had just mentioned.
"I thought before I came that I would do my best to make this song for Sister Mei. I have this confidence because this is my work and I know how to make this song. But now, I find that this idea of mine seems more and more like a joke. ”
"To be honest, I don't know why, and I don't understand that."
"Maybe the venerable Mr. Tommy/Brown can tell me why, but don't talk about the 'have you ever been in contact with an executive producer'."
Ye Zi turned in the direction of Tommy/Brown and walked over slowly. He still had a smile on his face, but his attitude became unexpectedly tough, and he no longer paid attention to his choice of words, and even began to sneer directly.
Sister Mei and Ke Yufan both nodded secretly.
Ye Zi's approach seems rude, but it is actually very correct. At such a time, blindly humility and concession is never the way, and showing strength to defeat the other party is the only correct way. That being the case, we must not soften our words in the first place.
And Ye Zi's words are aimed at the Mr. Tommy/Brown who questioned it, even if his words are a little excessive, there will be no problem.
Oh, you're already questioning my level of business, it's even more too much than slashing me with a knife, do you want me to talk to you in a good voice? Still afraid of offending you?
What an international joke!
Ke Yufan looked at Ye Zi, and then quietly glanced at Chen Yichen, who was looking energetically, and sighed slightly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
