Chapter 50: Pre-Race Preparation
Nanfeng's worries are a little redundant, although Song Jiajia is a new official and has formulated a lot of rules, but she is an inexperienced newcomer after all, Nanfeng can still take advantage of a lot of loopholes if she wants to play a little trick. However, Nanfeng will not provoke Song Jiajia easily, after all, people are just temporary workers, and it is harmful to him to be angry with her.
"The official recording time of the original musician contest is May 10th, and now there are only less than ten days, the time is very tight, we still have a lot of work to do, I hope you can cooperate with me." Song Jiajia's businesslike attitude made Nanfeng a little stunned, and he preferred a relaxed working environment.
"What are the specific jobs?" So far, Nanfeng only knows the general format of the competition, and he doesn't know the details of the details, and the company hasn't told him in detail, after all, those things are the work of the logistics staff, and he just needs to cooperate.
"First thing I can't help you, the first song needs to be created freely by the contestants, but you have to remember that this song is for the audience to know you and to make a name for yourself. I don't understand the songwriting, you have to do it yourself. Song Jiajia read the work to Nanfeng one by one.
"The second thing is that you need to assemble your own team as soon as possible, and according to the competition system, each contestant can invite three people to be part of their creative team. Our company has the most luxurious creative team in the industry, who do you want to help you can tell me, and I will help you invite him to your team. ”
"In addition to the creative team, you also need to prepare a band, and you may even need other staff such as vocals to cooperate with you, it depends on your needs, so I hope you can make a list for me as soon as possible, and I will help you organize the team as soon as possible."
"The third thing is that the organizers have to start the promotion a week before the show is broadcast, so each contestant is required to record a personal VCR for TV promotion. I've already designed the VCR script and the filming crew has been formed, so I hope you will find time to cooperate with me as soon as possible to complete the filming of my personal claim VCR. ”
Although Nanfeng doesn't like Song Jiajia's arrogance very much, he has to admit that Song Jiajia's ability to do things is very strong, and she is also very serious in her work, so she arranged all the work as early as possible, and she just needs to cooperate with her.
"I may have to consult some Ding Dong brothers for the formation of the creative team, after all, I don't know any of the company's creative department, because there seem to be many people in the company who have prejudices against me about some things before. Later, you can ask Brother Dingdong to see which people in the creative department are capable and have a good impression of me, if not, please have a good impression of me, I don't want discordant voices in my team. Song Jiajia was on business, and Nanfeng naturally threw the work directly on her unceremoniously.
"As for the accompaniment band, just ask Brother Sen to participate in the singer competition, I have worked with them, they can better understand some of my ideas about music, and there is a lot of tacit understanding in cooperation, it is a team that can immediately exert its combat effectiveness, and I am afraid that there will be some unnecessary troubles if I change others." Nanfeng thought for a moment and continued, "As for other staff such as stylists and makeup artists, you can do it, I believe in your ability." ”
Nanfeng doesn't understand things other than music very well, rather than a layman leading an insider, it is better to let Song Jiajia choose, I believe that as the child of her company's senior leaders, she will not find a bad candidate for herself.
"Okay, I've written it down, when do you have time to shoot the VCR?" Song Jiajia asked.
Under normal circumstances, the artist's work and rest time and work arrangements should be done by the agent, but after all, Song Jiajia has just become Yi Sen's agent, and she is a rookie who doesn't know much about the market, so she asked Nanfeng for advice. So in a way, letting Song Jiajia be his agent is also a kind of luck for Nanfeng.
"You can arrange this, I haven't had any work in the recent period, you are my agent, you have the final say." After a few days of getting along, Song Jiajia's first impression of being tricky and arrogant has eased a lot, and Nanfeng is no longer as disgusted with this beautiful woman who seriously admits her work as she was at the beginning.
"Okay, then I'll shoot on Wednesday afternoon, and I'll help you put the team together in the next two days. You have to start writing songs as soon as possible, because you are a complete newcomer, and you may be much less popular than other contestants, so I hope that you must take the creation of this song seriously and make a name for yourself, otherwise the results of future competitions may be greatly affected. Song Jiajia reminded again.
"By the way, do you know who is participating in the competition?" Nanfeng asked curiously.
"The organizer has not yet announced the results, but according to the internal information obtained by the company, in addition to our Dynasty Entertainment, the contestants of the other four major entertainment companies are all singer-songwriters, and they have basically released an album.
Song Jiajia told Nanfeng the news of her knowledge: "But don't worry, you are not completely without advantages, helping Uncle Yi Sen to win the title of King of Singers is your biggest capital, I believe that after publicity, your popularity will not be much worse than the other four singers, and when the time comes, I will ask Uncle Yi Sen to help you say a few words in public, and your popularity will be opened." ”
As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, and Song Jiajia's identity as the second generation of officials made Nanfeng's team formation much easier, and it took less than two days for Yi Sen's creative team and the entire logistics team to be in place.
The three creators in the creative team are all recommended by Ding Dong, and they are a group of people who are more respected by Nanfeng in the entire creative department of Dynasty Entertainment, but if they talk about their creative ability, they have to be inserted a little, after all, capable people are pretentious, how can they be willing to give a hand to a young boy in his twenties.
Although the talents of the three people are not good in Nanfeng's eyes, their attainments in music are not low, and their experience is also very sufficient, so they can fill in Nanfeng's shortcomings very well, and can provide certain suggestions and improvements in Nanfeng's singing and performance, which is what Nanfeng values most.
The logistics team is relatively clumsy, from makeup artists to stylists are all men, and it turns out that the beautiful makeup artists that Nanfeng is looking forward to are just fantasies. Of course, what do you say about cheating, everyone knows that men who engage in art are more or less a bit of a mother, can you tolerate a man with an orchid finger on your face to put foundation?
The filming of the VCR is also very simple, Nanfeng only needs to follow the director's requirements, stand in a certain scene and put a few simple poss, and do some simple actions, there are no lines in the middle, everything is done by adding narration and dubbing in the later stage.
The content of the narration dubbing Nanfeng also watched, mainly two more bullish names, one is the singer producer, and the second is a music poet. As the first music producer who won the throne of the king of singers, he showed unparalleled music creation talent in the process.
As for the title of music poet, it mainly comes from the song "Dark Fragrance", which originally came from Lin Xi's evaluation of this song, thinking that this song is not just a song, but also as beautiful as a poem, and has been recognized by many people on the Internet, so Song Jiajia simply put the title of music poet on the head of Nanfeng.
To be honest, Nanfeng blushed a little at this, but promoting this kind of thing is to say that it is better to say it bigger. This thing is the same as a business card, if you see someone else's business card with the position of sales manager written on it, then it means that this person is just an ordinary salesperson, if it says general manager, maybe just an assistant to the general manager.
"Nanfeng, how is the new song written? Recording is going to start next week, but you don't seem to be reacting at all. As the time of the competition approached, Song Jiajia also began to get nervous, this is her first job, although it is not her who goes to the competition, but Nanfeng's results are also directly related to her work, isn't it.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared a few songs, and I'm still hesitating which one is better, and it won't delay things." Southwind comforted.
Nanfeng is indeed hesitating, he has a lot of good songs, but he has a lot of things to consider, the first is whether he can sing the songs perfectly, and the second is that the style of these songs in the music library is very different from the style of the current pop music scene, and whether the public can accept works with such a big difference in style.
"What are you hesitating about? I can say it and I'll help you refer to it, of course, I still think it's best for you to communicate with Lao Luo and the three of them, after all, they are members of your creative team. Song Jiajia frowned and asked.
"It's mainly a matter of music style, you say that if the style of the pop music is very different from the current pop music scene, will it be accepted by the market? I'm afraid that the audience will suddenly not be able to accept such a big style change for a while. "Nanfeng decided to consult anyway.
"Do you think it sounds good?" Song Jiajia asked suddenly.
"Of course." Nanfeng said confidently.
"Then don't care what others think, I think it's better to have a different style from others, so that it can attract more people's attention, what you lack now is popularity, and the mainstream style is very different and good songs can attract a lot of attention for you, although the most poor results may be a little worse, but I think this investment is worth it!" Song Jiajia thought for a while and said.
Song Jiajia majored in administration and minored in financial management at university, and her advice was also the result of her own professional analysis.
"Thank you for your opinion, I think I already know what to do." Nanfeng pondered that Song Jiajia's statement was very reasonable, but he didn't really want to be a singer who didn't take the usual path, and Nanfeng still couldn't make up his mind for a while.
