Chapter 18 Talent Co., Ltd
The working meal was ordered by the program logistics team from Dongxing Building near Xizhimen, and it was directly delivered to the gate of Jacquard Lattice Hutong Courtyard.
After lunch, Luo Bing took the lead in convening the copywriting planning team of the sub-column preparation team and Li Yannian, Liu Mingren, Yan Qing, Miao Miao, Shao Qing, Weng Huaijing, Zhou Peipei, and several copywriting experts with big brains who came over from the whispering platform to discuss the names of the sub-columns that were not determined in the remote video conference yesterday.
After some brainstorming in the meeting, seven or eight new names were come up, but they still did not get the unanimous approval of several decision-makers.
Pearl TV's teams such as Li Yannian and Liu Mingren tend to choose names with quaint artistic conceptions to fit the unified ancient poetic style of the entire "Star Silk Road", such as "Dream Order".
Luo Bing's whispering platform team tends to have names with a lot of memes, which can boost the popularity on social platforms.
Shao Qing just hopes that the name of the show will be considered to match the style and characteristics of the two artists, which will make the show more recognizable, and you can play with homophonic stalks or something moderately.
When it was Miao Miao's turn to speak, when she was going to support Shao Qing's proposal, she suddenly grabbed a flash of inspiration from the cubicle where everyone was at this time, and opened her mouth to propose:
"Since our yard is in Jacquard Grid Hutong, and there are so many lattice rooms in the small building, why don't we call the name of our show "Grid Room" or "Double Personality Room"."
After some discussion, Liu Mingren and Luo Bing were quite satisfied with the name of the lattice, and even began to try to persuade Li Yannian, who insisted on the choice of Rumengling.
Shao Qing also raised his hand and voted for the name of the lattice room.
Even Yan Qing felt that this name was quite appropriate, he raised his eyebrows at Miao Miao, Miao Miao smiled proudly, and nodded to indicate that he had received Yan Qing's praise airwaves.
But just when Li Yannian's attitude was a little relaxed, a cold voice was added to the discussion:
"Director Liu mentioned just now that although the future layout of Xiaolou retains part of the cubicle, in fact, it is only for the behind-the-scenes team to work.
When recording the show in the later stage, the framing may not be on the lattice room at all, so in fact, the degree of fit is limited to the geographical location.
If you just name it according to the address of Jacquard Lattice Hutong, maybe it is also a good choice to call it "Jacquard Shop". ”
Yan Qing turned his head sideways and followed everyone towards the source of the sound...
It was Weng Huaijing, she frowned lightly at her somewhat sharp eyebrows, met all the eyes cast at her, and spoke reasonably and slowly.
Weng Huaijing's views quickly won Li Yannian's support.
After all, compared to some modern industrial painting style of "Lattice Room", the name "Jacquard Shop" is more retro.
At this time, the wind direction became Li Yannian and Liu Mingren to persuade the wavering Luo Bing.
Miao Miao didn't like Weng Huaijing in the first place, but when she saw that she actually rejected the "Lattice Room" that she was praised by Yan Qing, her heart was even more angry at this moment.
Miao Miao's attitude suddenly hardened, she stood on Luo Bing's side with a cold face, and did not accept the name "Jacquard Shop".
Miao Miao's reason is actually quite tenable:
"The style of this name is feminine, which is not very suitable for Yan Qing."
Weng Huaijing was like a mirror in his heart, Miao Miao was hostile to herself to find this reason.
However, she is not the kind of woman who cares about the hostility of others, seeing that the situation at the meeting is stalemate again, and after the goal is achieved, she returns to the posture of wandering eyes, and continues to hide on the periphery with her assistant Zhou Peipei.
"As long as it's not called "Lattice Room", I don't want to care about such a thing."
Professor Weng thought so to himself.
…………
Seeing this, Li Yannian could only let the planners and copywriters continue to brainstorm again.
However, as everyone's interpretation has become more divergent, it is becoming more and more difficult to get more and more support for the name that comes up with subsequently.
couldn't decide on the name of the program that satisfied everyone, the scene became anxious, the death line (Deadline) on the program preparation schedule was getting closer and closer, and Liu Mingren, who was slightly fat, even broke out more sweat.
At this time, several staff members of the logistics team came over with three different styles of folk guitars, found Yan Qing, who had been wandering, and said that he was asking him to pick a piano.
Yan Qing raised his head and glanced at it.
Among the three guitars are a regular folk guitar (Dreadnought), a Jumbo guitar with a slender waist and a huge body, and an Auditorium guitar that is a round smaller than the regular D-type guitar and has a more rounded waist.
It just so happened that Yan Qing hadn't played Auditorium for a long time, and he also had some itchy hands, and the atmosphere of the meeting was a little weird, so he reached out and took a piano.
"I tried this A-type guitar, there are traces of use, and I didn't bring a tuner when I went out today."
Yan Qing hugged the guitar and asked the crowd who had quieted down:
"Is it okay here, or I'll go outside with them."
Luo Bing, Miao Miao, and Shao Qing tacitly raised their hands and motioned for Yan Qing to start his performance.
Yan Qing, who got permission, first tried playing a few sets of chords and confirmed that the pitch of this A-type guitar was fine.
"Then take a break for a while and sing a song "Talent Co., Ltd." to everyone."
Yan Qing whistled softly as a prelude, and his fingers began to play lightly on the six strings.
The junction between his wrist and arm on his right hand rhythmically strikes the body of the A-guitar with the play of his fingers, mimicking the beat of an African tambourine and inserting it into the guitar melody.
After this whistle, Yan Qing's magnetic voice like a magnet slowly wandered in the cubicle:
…………
"We come from Talent Ltd
Be punctual in and out of work every day
The boss promised a raise and promotion at the end of the year
Several colleagues have left again
It's this Talent Limited
maintained the family's food and clothing
Sitting between the lattices and tapping your fingers
But it feels like life is still at the moment
Perhaps, think too much, whose ideals have not been grandiose and ambitious
Reality, it's not complicated, convince you to bow your head and stop being stupid
Admit it, I'm stupid enough to squander my small life
Wait until your youth is gone, and everything will be gone, and then you will say how good it would be if the nonsense at that time was fulfilled
Special thanks to Talent Limited
Albeit to play the role of a screw
Achievements are left to greatness to confirm
It's not too extravagant to be a stepping stone
Perhaps, think too much, whose ideals have not been grandiose and ambitious
Reality, it's not complicated, convince you to bow your head and stop being stupid
Admit it, I'm stupid enough to squander my small life
Wait until your youth is gone, and you will say what you were talking nonsense at that time
Maybe I think about it a lot, watching people come and go, laughing and scolding
Reality, it's not complicated, it's better to play the icing on the cake, admit it..."
…………
The guitar of this song is much more expensive than in "Beginning of Autumn", and Yan Qing uses finger style and some African tambourine as a harmony almost all the time, which can be regarded as a rearrangement of the song.
When he finished singing, he found that almost all of them had a faint glint in their eyes.
Especially a group of social animal youths in the behind-the-scenes team, the lyrics resonate with them too much:
…………
Everyone has dreams of one kind or another when they are children, but they are limited by the pressure of life, and they retreat and compromise again and again, and finally let go of their dreams.
In order to support himself, he did his best to do things that he might not like in his heart.
Everyone is just ordinary people, and most of the dreams they had at the beginning have been worn out into a pile of dead ashes over time. I had no choice but to exhale a breath of turbid air under the weight of life, blow away the pile of ashes, and continue to work for the sake of tears.
…………
At this moment, the small building was quiet, until Li Yannian suddenly slapped the table continuously excitedly, and roared in a hoarse and thick voice:
"The name of the program is "Talent Co., Ltd.", Mr. Xiao Miao, we asked for this song on Pearl Satellite TV, and I just took it to make the theme song of the column."
Everyone's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Li Yannian, and there were few voices of pandering.
Li Yannian hurriedly looked at the few loyal fans of him in the behind-the-scenes team, only to find that the eyes of these young people were almost flashing with tears.
He looked at Miao Miao, who has always been positive in business awareness, and the famous little money fan was looking at his brother Qing'er with an unmoved face at this time.
I don't know how long it took before the belated applause poured quickly and neatly from all around the crowd to the center.
Yan Qing was a little stunned holding the guitar.
The name of the program of this team management sub-column was unanimously approved, "Talent Co., Ltd."
Even Weng Huaijing nodded at Shao Qing, and he voted for his vote.
