Chapter 365: An Invitation to Write a Song
() received a call from Li Zhifei again, Ye Zi was a little surprised. w?w?w?.
The two sides have already compromised on the matter of the performance, could it be that what happened in the past day or two? Otherwise, Ye Zi really couldn't figure out why Li Zhifei contacted him, and the last time the two communicated on the phone was not pleasant.
When he learned from Li Zhifei that it was such a thing, Ye Zi was even more surprised.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much for your attention to me."
Others came for their own talents, of course Ye Zi had to be polite: "It's just ...... Why me? Isn't there a better fit? I only know a general idea of the situation in Yun Province, so I'm afraid it's hard to write a decent work. ”
"Teacher Ye Zi, we need to erect a new image in Yun Province......"
In the conference room, Li Zhifei talked eloquently.
“…… Therefore, I think that the creator invited must have a pioneering spirit and innovative spirit, and be able to create without sticking to one pattern. ”
Although Mr. Ye Zi is young, it can be seen from several of his works that his creation has no certain rules and is not subject to any limitations. I don't understand the music at all, but I can still understand the lyrics. ”
"Because Mr. Ye Zi was invited to participate in the performance of this opening ceremony, I specially learned about Mr. Ye Zi's works. Please see, "The Sound of the Waves is Still" is transformed from the artistic conception in ancient poems, the text is beautiful and elegant, and it is full of connotation. "How to Say Love" is the kind of work that expresses directly and unpretentiously. Although the lyrics of "Sing If You Want to Sing" are written straightforwardly and plainly, the core content is very clear, which is unique among inspirational songs. The recent new song has changed, "The Sea and the Sky" is also an inspirational song, but the text is completely different from the plain and straightforward "Sing If You Want to Sing", which is extremely powerful, and writes the determination of young people to persist in struggle despite setbacks but without being discouraged. ”
"Although Mr. Ye Zi's works are not very many, I can already see his talent in creation, and I think it is worth inviting."
In the conference room, everyone pondered.
"I see...... Mr. Li. Thank you! Then I'll give it a try. This was a good opportunity, and Ye Zi immediately decided to accept it.
No matter what Li Zhifei thinks, it is always a recognition that others can think of recommending themselves vigorously at such a time. A heart.
Ye Zi can't live up to such trust, even if Li Zhifei has his own purpose.
Li Zhifei was very happy: "That's great!" Mr. Ye Zi, how long do you think it will take to create? ”
"Time ......"
Ye Zi hasn't figured out whether to write one by himself, or continue to "borrow" one? If you continue to "borrow", which song will you choose? He hesitated and said, "Teacher Li, can you watch it for half a month?" ”
This is a normal time requirement. Writing a song is not about buying a cabbage and moving it home anytime, anywhere. Maybe you can write a new song in ten minutes, maybe you can't write two melodies in ten days and half a month, it's all possible. But normally, half a month should be enough to make a song with limited content.
"Teacher Ye Zi, half a month may have grown a little." Li Zhifei also knew that his requirements were a bit high, but this was the regulation of the organizing committee, and he had no choice.
"Comrades, please explain to the candidates you invited, we can't wait that long! I can only give you a maximum of ten days. There's a lot more to do after choosing a song, and this time frame is already the limit. ”
Kang Wenbai shook his head, his tone heavy.
"This is our own problem, I hope you can explain it to each other well, if it's too late, then we can only give up."
……
"Ten days? It's a little tight. ”
That being said, in fact, if you really have to decide on the song, it will be very fast.
"It's a little tight." Li Zhifei nodded in agreement, although Ye Zi couldn't see his movements.
"Then Teacher Ye Zi, look at this time......"
He was a little worried that Ye Zi would not be able to finish on time.
"I'll try to fight for it." Ye Zi didn't say anything to death.
This time it wasn't the kind of peer-to-peer invitation, and I was just one of the people who was invited to create this time. I don't know if my work can be selected by the organizing committee in the end, why are you in such a hurry?
"Mr. Li, do you need to fax the song sheet over, or do you need me to directly produce a sample or a finished product here?" Ye Zi asked again.
Li Zhifei was secretly pleased when he heard this: "It would be best if the finished product could be produced." In the end, the song score must be implemented on the finished product. ”
"That's right." Ye Zi nodded: "But if it is a finished product, this will involve a problem of the cost of recording and singing, how to solve this problem?" ”
"Hehe, Teacher Ye Zi, you don't have to worry about this." Li Zhifei said with a smile.
in the conference room.
Kang Wenbai said very seriously.
"Please tell the candidates you invited, and our organizing committee will bear all the recording costs."
"The recording cost varies from place to place, and our organizing committee will bear 2,000 yuan for each finished song. Please tell them that you must send the song to our organizing committee as a finished product. ”
"If we end up choosing, the cost of writing the song will be calculated separately. For other composers who send their works, we will settle a creative fee of 1,000 yuan for each composer and 500 yuan for the lyricist. ”
Before Kang Wenbai's words fell, a buzzing sound sounded in the conference room.
That's a lot of money!
As long as 10 works are sent, the organizing committee will prepare at least 45,000 yuan.
What about twenty?
What about thirty?
In this era, such a stroke is amazing.
Everybody was a little bit on the move.
Kang Wenbai sneered in his heart, and looked at everyone's heads and ears expressionlessly.
"Oh, you've thought of that, then I'm relieved." Ye Zi nodded again, this is about the same. If he had to pay for it first, he wouldn't have much interest.
If you have this time, you might as well do your own thing.
"Mr. Li, tell me about the specific requirements of this song."
"Okay, that's right." Li Zhifei hurriedly said.
"After discussion, we decided that the genre of the theme song this time was a folk song or a popular song, and there was no need for bel canto songs." Nalan Qinghui explained to everyone the limited content of the song.
"Our Yunnan Province is a big province of folk songs, bel canto songs do not match the image of our Yunnan Province, and folk songs or popular songs can meet the requirements. If there is a creator who can organically combine folk songs and popular songs, it will be the best choice, and we are looking forward to such a work. ”
After talking about the genre, Nalan Qinghui continued.
"In terms of orchestration, we need a new approach that is more in line with the characteristics of the times, of course, this is by no means to say that the orchestration techniques of large orchestras cannot be used, but relatively speaking, we will appreciate the orchestration techniques that are closer to pop songs."
The organizing committee has a lot of requirements for this theme song.
"Another point is that the singer of the theme song had better choose a female voice, which will be closer to the image of our cloud province. However, we do not make hard requirements, the creator can choose freely, male solo, duet, female solo, duet, male and female duet can all be selected, but we do not choose the singing form of chorus. ”
Ye Zi took what Li Zhifei said and wrote it down.
"Folk songs or popular, it's best to combine the two, pop song orchestration techniques, female singing, these are the requirements, Mr. Li?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. If it is a folk song, then I hope to choose the representative folk song material of Yun Province, this is what Professor Nalan said, and I don't understand it very well. Li Zhifei hurriedly said the missing point.
"Okay, I got it." Ye Zi put down the pen: "Then I'll start thinking in a while, Mr. Li, do you have anything else to tell me?" ”
"Hmm, this one...... Teacher Ye Zi...... And one last thing. Li Zhifei was a little distracted.
"Speak, please." Ye Zi waited for Li Zhifei to speak.
in the conference room.
"Comrades, it's going to be hard for everyone these days." Kang Wenbai knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "This is the most important thing for our organizing committee at present, and I hope everyone can pay attention to it and implement the theme song as soon as possible." ”
"Here, there are some things I have to say up front."
"We don't limit the age, fame, region or even nationality of any creator, and we don't limit the freedom of creators, we only have one requirement for them, and that is the quality of the songs."
"Don't send anything to the organizing committee."
"You must do a good job of checking in advance, and the works sent to the organizing committee must meet our preset requirements."
"If the work sent is still like Ma Mingguang's kind of thing, we will severely punish it!" (To be continued.) )
