With the assistance of Cheng Xun, I finally finished all the chores before May came.

April 30th, the last day of work at Huaying.

After work, Gu Shu invited a total of 40 screenwriters from six groups of modern drama to dinner.

The dinner venue was selected in the famous Hangzhou Bang restaurant in Jiangnan, and after three rounds of drinking, several young screenwriters asked Gu Shu about his future whereabouts with the strength of wine.

This question has long been asked, and he has not left his job before, and Gu Shu is inconvenient to pull people in a grand manner, but now he has no scruples, so he said generously: "I have partnered with Shen Bian to open a company, and I still do film and television script creation, in addition to the two of us, there are also Xu Bian of the urban group and Zhang Bian of the suspense group." ”

Everyone immediately became calm, and shouted noisily: "Why didn't you tell us when you opened a company?" ”

"Yes, let us know earlier, we must have left with you!"

Gu Shu smiled: "I don't tell you, I'm afraid that you will be impulsive." The company has just been established, and the conditions and resources are far inferior to Huaying, if you are willing to come, of course I welcome it, but I hope you will think carefully before making a decision. ”

"What else is this considered? We are Huaying because of you, we will go wherever you go! ”

The screenwriter assistant of the urban group, Gu Shu's little fan brother Li Chen said it proudly.

All of you here are screenwriters, and they know how to write according to the usual way of writing the script, so it's the turn of the tricks to echo loudly and applaud.

However, the reality is that except for a few voices, almost no one answered Li Chen's words.

It is true that many of the screenwriters present, especially the assistants and preliminary editors who have not been in the company for a long time, are Huaying who entered the signboard of Xiaoqi.

But they are the ones who are most sought after by Xiaoqi, and they are the ones who are the least likely to leave.

In Shen Yize's prediction, the most likely to change jobs are the middle and senior editors with similar qualifications to Xiaoqi.

The reason is simple, because of the interests.

In the workplace, it is natural that interests are greater than favors, like Li Chen, who is either a true fan or a stunned young man, in short, it is rare.

Huaying broke off the original, and the heaviest loss was undoubtedly this group of old screenwriters who engaged in originality, they were unwilling to be wronged to make an adaptation, so they could only find a home.

As for the assistants and the first editor, most of them do auxiliary work, and they do not have original projects in their hands, so they are naturally not affected. As long as they stay, as soon as the middle and high editors above leave, the vacated positions will sooner or later fall on their heads.

This is a good thing for Shen Yize.

In his opinion, the value of a senior editor is far more than ten preliminary editors, and if the company can attract a few senior editors, it is equivalent to having a backbone. With the backbone, the screenwriting department can really stand.

But these middle and senior editors are all old fritters, and it's okay to talk about the scene, and when it comes to expressing a statement, all mouths follow the seal.

When Shen Yize saw this, he knew that this group of old fritters still wanted to wait and see.

It is understandable, after all, the ship has just been built, and no one knows how far it can sail, and if it can't get it right, it will sink in the water, and no one wants to take this risk.

Can't wait for them, or the daylilies will be cold! A group of screenwriters must be recruited first, as for how many to recruit, I have to discuss with Gu Shu and Xu Fengyang when I go back, these two people are a chief editor and a senior editor, and they have a deeper understanding of this industry than him.

After eating, the screenwriters walked apart.

Shen Yize didn't drink and drove Gu, Xu, and Zhang home.

On the way, he said his thoughts, Gu Shu said: "You can recruit a little more, I still have several projects in my hand." ”

The three men were shocked, and said that we were all alone when we left, why do you still bring your own projects?

Gu Shu said: "Two of them are Huaying projects, and two of them are my own talks. These four projects Huaying agreed to transfer to our company, and related matters such as how to divide and how to handle the accounts need to be discussed by the company, and this part will be handed over to you. ”

Shen Yize said with a smile: "You are in charge of the script, just call someone from the project department to join you when you talk, as long as we ensure that we have money to earn, which one earns less." Although the mosquito legs are small, they are meat at all, and now the company is just starting out, and it is not yet time to be picky. ”

By May, he will not be the commander of the light pole, there is no need for him to come forward in this kind of thing, Gu Shu is also the boss of the company, she is in charge.

Gu Shu smiled lightly and said, "I think so too." ”

Shen Yize asked: "Then how many people do you think is appropriate?" ”

Gu Shu said: "There are four or five recruits in the urban category, and one or two in other categories are enough." ”

"Okay."

When he returned home, Shen Yize immediately wrote a recruitment notice and sent it to Gu Shu and Cheng Xun.

Gu Shu quickly posted it on Weibo, and then Shen Yize's account was forwarded, and Cheng Xun was spread to major recruitment platforms.

It didn't take long for Gu Shu to send a WeChat message, saying that several screenwriters of Huaying expressed their willingness to change jobs to her.

Shen Yize asked for his name, Li Chen, Zhang Zhihao, Chen Junfan and Zheng Jiajia, two assistants in the urban group, a science fiction and fantasy group, and a rural group.

Pretty good.

Huaying's threshold is one of the highest in the industry, and even the screenwriter's assistant is better than the vast majority of freelance screenwriters.

When I finished getting down to business, I looked at the time, and it was a quarter past zero!

May!

There are still two months before Yang Jiu'an returns to China, four months before the recording of "Heartbeat Signal", and five months before he gets off the list!

Take advantage of the last single time to hurry up and start a career.

Shen Yize thought like this and clicked on Quanyu Music.

May 1st, the day the new song was launched.

"Our Love" and "Blame for Yourself", both of which have entered the top 10 of the new song list within a quarter of an hour of their release, have both exceeded 200,000 sales.

"Our Love" ranked 9th, temporarily ahead of "Blame for Ourselves", and the two songs were very tight, and the gap was very small.

was able to break into the top ten of the new song list in such a short period of time, mainly due to the popularity of "Yisheng's enemy" some time ago. Good deeds are everywhere, especially online. Now it is not only fans who are deliberately squatting on the sale, but also many passers-by who join in the fun.

This time it's Yu Sheng's style, although this little girl is a little crazy, the new song has never disappointed him, uh, except for last month's "Jin Ge".

Rock, with her character, is mostly a high-gain heavy metal song, like ". The same burns to the extreme and explodes to the extreme.

clicked on "Blame for Myself", and together with the prelude, Shen Yize knew that he was wrong again.

Featuring acoustic guitars and retro distortion tones, complemented by arrangements for saxophone, trumpet and kazoo flutes, it's not a heavy metal tune.

Shen Yize plays pop, rhythm and blues and hip-hop a lot, although rock is not often heard or cold, there is still basic common sense.

Quite a hardcore prelude!

Unlike "Our Love", a pop song that criticizes the coat of rock and roll, "Blame for Yourself" is obviously a pure rock song that is more underground.

But the purer it is, the more niche it is.

He found that Yu Sheng was really a dead eye, from ". From "Jin Ge" to this song "Blame for Yourself", once a certain style is determined, you must bring that style to the extreme, the ultimate purity.

After thinking about it, I was a little impressed.

Perhaps it is this paranoia that has made Yu Sheng what he is today.

He was sighing in his heart, as soon as he entered the human voice, his ears and brain were immediately caught, and his emotions were like riding a roller coaster, falling to the bottom in an instant.

Rock and roll isn't all burning, at least not Yu Sheng's song.

There is no love and love, no poetry and distance.

Some are just the cruelty of reality, the heaviness of life and the helplessness of life.

Its lyrics reminded Shen Yize of "Ordinary Road", but it was not as straightforward and boring as "Ordinary Road".

Subtle, forbearing, restrained but suppressed, suffocating.

The music is very similar to two indie rock bands that he used to like: Universal Youth Hostel and Waist Band. The lyrics are also very much the taste of Wan Qing and Lao Waist, which made him suddenly recall the sentence "Who is from the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, but is confined to day and night, kitchen and love".

Such concise and thoughtful lyrics are not at all like what a person of Yu Sheng's age can write.

Shen Yize looked through the song information, and sure enough, the composer and arranger of this song are Yu Sheng, but the lyrics are Zhang Zerui, a well-known gold medal lyricist in the circle.

Obviously, in order to win this competition, Yu Sheng made a lot of money.

The lyrics of the Fei'er Band have been criticized, and against this kind of big guy, it can be said that they have suffered a tragic blow to dimensionality, and they have no power to fight back at all.

Lyrics aside, in terms of arrangement, "Blame for Myself" abandons the repetitive form and does not have the traditional solo part, and instead echoes the guitar and wind music.

In terms of orchestration, not only saxophone and trumpet are borrowed from jazz, but also blues-style guitars, and in some passages there are even cellos, kazoo flutes and shakers.

The use of jazz and blues elements, the exquisite arrangement, the careful consideration of every measure, and the hair-raising lyrics...... In a word: awesome!

But doesn't have to be popular.

Shen Yize flipped out Yu Sheng's WeChat message and typed: "Awesome!" In terms of rock and roll, in terms of music, I lost, but we compared sales, right? ”

Hovering your finger over the send key, hesitating.

I suddenly felt a little shameless. In the previous "Nocturne" and "Jiangnan", Yu Sheng simply admitted defeat, although the final sales also lost, but it feels like people are just going to be more open.

However, as a musician, Yu Sheng is really good. The better she is, the more Shen Yize wants to cooperate with her, and the more she doesn't want to lose, on the one hand, for the company, and on the other hand, for herself.

Although he chose the path of capital, in the final analysis, he is still a child of music!

Even if he doesn't have such a dazzling talent as Yu Sheng, as long as the people around him are good enough, he believes that one day he will be able to create his own chic and vital melodies.

"Please forgive me for my selfish ......"

Shen Yize said silently and pressed the send button.

My eyes were glued to the screen of my phone, and I was a little apprehensive.

She wouldn't disagree, would she?

The phone vibrates slightly.

Yu Sheng: Dubi. But if there is anything I am inferior to you, even if I lose.

Yu Sheng: You don't naively think that you can win me by comparing sales, right?

Shen Yize was happy.

As it turned out, his worries were purely unnecessary.

If someone is looking for abuse, he will be satisfied.

One: I think I have a chance, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see.

Until the end of Labor Day, the sales of the two songs were still very tight, and according to this trend, it is impossible to tell the winner until the last minute.

The income in April arrived, 8 million for "Jiangnan", plus 1 million for "Nocturne" and 300,000 for "Our Love", and another 10 million smaller. This is a copyright contract that he signed in his own name, and the income belongs to him personally, not to the company.

Early in the morning of May 4, Shen Yize came to the company early. Subsequently, the employees arrived one after another, and there were a total of 10 people in the functional department, and 13 people in addition to Xu Zhang.

He called everyone to the conference room.

On the first day of employment, everyone was a little reserved.

This restraint was quickly broken by Gu Shu's self-introduction.

The people present may not know about washing ink, but most of them have heard of Xiao Qi, and when they saw him, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths: three bosses, washing ink is handsome enough, not to mention Jiang Yining, I didn't expect Xiao Qi's appearance to be so high!

After introducing himself one by one, Shen Yize first talked about the company's plans and goals, then talked about ideals and feelings, and then assigned work.

The tasks of the personnel department are relatively heavy, including follow-up recruitment, signing labor contracts, formulating internal management regulations and attendance systems, and sorting out personnel files and various personnel documents, all of which need to be done immediately.

Fortunately, all of these people recruited have more than three years of experience, half of them have worked in start-up companies, and have had the experience of starting from scratch, and they all know what their respective departments need to do in the start-up period.

Towards the end of the meeting, Jiang Yining arrived with Cheng Xun and Zhu Wei.

When the door of the conference room was pushed open, the moment Jiang Gehou appeared, the whole room was boiling.

Golden Pin Creative is a start-up in the end, everyone is completely for the sake of high salary, with the mentality of giving it a try, the interview learned that Jiang Yining and Xiaoqi are co-founders, and immediately put away the contempt, but still have doubts.

Until this moment, the big stars that can only be seen on TV walk into the conference room alive, and even the last bit of doubt disappears.

Everyone was excited. Not only excited to see a star, but also excited to be hired.

A company co-founded by popular singers and gold medal screenwriters, the future is promising! What a blessing to be a part of it when we were first born!

Jiang Yining saw everyone's reactions in her eyes, she was very calm, took off her sunglasses and exchanged glances with Shen Yize, and then said:

"As you can see, Mr. Shen, Editor Gu and I, the three of us are the founders. The day-to-day management and operation of the company is responsible for Mr. Shen. Although I don't work here, I do come to visit you occasionally. The company has just started, it may be a little harder, as long as we all work together, it will get better and better. ”

"It's not hard! The conditions are very good! ”

"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, we will do a good job!"

"Good job, can you take a picture with us?"

Seeing that these people were like being beaten with chicken blood, Shen Yize scratched his face a little helplessly, thinking that I was babbling for a long time, but the result was not as effective as Jiang Gehou's words.

Jiang Yining just came over to show her face, the new song just came out, and she still had to run to promote the show, so she didn't stay too long and left with her agent and assistant.

People are gone, leaving morale behind.

Everyone was full of energy, and even Shen Yize felt excited.

But he quickly restrained his emotions.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, there is still a lot to be done, and he must keep a cool head.
