239 Gatherings
"Something Just Like This" didn't make it to the Billboard top 10, ranking thirteenth last week, and sales are starting to slip this week, which should be the peak.
Although it is a little regrettable that he did not enter the top ten, considering that Jiang Yining is just a newcomer to European and American audiences, it is already very brilliant for newcomers and new songs to get this ranking.
Zhuyu is in front, coupled with the fact that he has just won the Best Composer and Best Lyricist awards, and the number of singers who have asked Shen Yize to sing has increased exponentially recently.
However, Shen Yize is not a simple songwriter, as the owner of a music company, he must hold the copyright of all songs in his own hands, but even if he does not sell the copyright, there are still many singers who are willing to pay a high price just for the performance rights and adaptation rights.
Why not?
Anyway, he has a lot of saliva songs in his hands that are mediocre but very popular, and powerful singers such as Jiang Yining and Yu Sheng disdain to sing, so it is better to hand them over to those singers outside who want to be popular but can't, make a quick buck and release information to the circle: He Zhuang Yi can not only produce high-quality songs that are well-known at home and abroad, but also saliva songs written by hand.
He heard the door open.
Ann is back.
When she first moved, she kept saying that she wouldn't come to the house, but now, she must go back to his house first after work every day, and she doesn't go back to her house until after ten o'clock in the evening, and sometimes she doesn't even go back, she spends the night with him - An An locks the door every time, and doesn't give him any chance.
Shen Yize persuaded her many times to let her move in with him, but no matter what he said, this girl just didn't agree.
"Teacher Shenβ"
An An called him in the living room.
"In the study!"
Yang Jiu'an gently pushed open the door of the study, but did not go in, but poked out half of his head and asked, "What are you doing?" β
Shen Yize beckoned: "Come in, I'm writing songs." β
"Then you can continue to create, I won't bother you."
"I'm almost done, come in, I'll show you a sample."
Yang Jiuan said "oh" and walked over to him and sat down.
"What song?"
She asked.
"It's called 'Closer.'"
"English songs?"
Shen Yize nodded: "Yes, this is an order prepared for Sister Ning's next album." β
In fact, this song is not just a single for Jiang Yining's next album.
This song "Closer" is also from the smoker, is a medium-tempo electronic sound, the style is also the fusion of Future Bass and pop, and it is also the real god of the DJ group of the smoker, released in July 16, winning the Billboard 12 consecutive championships, and undoubtedly has a strong dominance in Europe and the United States.
Shen Yize personally likes this song very much, even if he rarely listens to electronic music, he was stunned that the single was looped for a whole summer, and even tried to cover it.
In his small stock of electronic music songs, this song is one of two at the bottom of the box, the other being "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran.
The reason why this song was brought out is not only to consolidate Jiang Gehou's position in the European and American music scene, but also because this song will be cooperated by Jorgie Xiwen and Jiang Yining.
Jorgie Hivan, known to domestic fans as Boss Joe, is a famous British pop singer and music songwriter, affiliated with Atlantic Records, has won three BRIT Awards for Best Male Singer, holds four Grammy trophies, and is known as a British creative talent.
Boss Qiao, arguably the most famous foreign singer in China β which is not unrelated to the fact that he has been trying to expand the Chinese market in recent years β met Jiang Yining, who wanted to develop overseas and had some success, and the two met in London and had a good conversation, and the cooperation almost coincided.
The song for Boss Qiao is naturally sloppy, the other party is a powerful singer who sings and writes well, and the production team behind him is the top in the world.
Yang Jiu'an listened to it for a while, the melody was soothing and gentle, and the beat was progressive layer by layer, which was quite emotional, just-
"Doesn't there be a lyric?"
She wondered.
Shen Yize smiled and said: "Yes, I only filled in the lyrics of the chorus, and the main song is going to be filled in by Boss Qiao." β
In fact, he only remembered the lyrics of the chorus.
Yang Jiu'an's eyes widened: "Boss Qiao? Is it the Boss Joe we know? β
He didn't answer and asked, "Do you know other Boss Qiao?" β
"True or false?! Do you want to work with Boss Joe? I often listened to his songs when I was studying abroad! β
"Boss Qiao will come to Jiangnan in a few days, do you want to see him? I can take you. β
thought that An An would be so excited that she fainted on the spot, but the girl waved her hand again and again: "No, no, no, I won't go!" Afraid! β
Shen Yize smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?" Don't you listen to his songs a lot? Don't want to see it? β
"I just like his songs, forget about people, he has a lot of lace news in the UK, and he is a messy person."
"Okay, forget it if you don't want to go, if you change your mind, feel free to let me know. It's time for the chorus. β
Shen Yize's crisp voice sounded:
ββ¦β¦ And I I I can't stop
No, I I I I I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder......"
This lyrics......
Yang Jiu'an was stunned at first, and then his ears were hot, and his cheeks were flying.
She felt someone's burning gaze, but she didn't dare look at him.
The song continues:
ββ¦β¦ Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole.
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older......"
She listened to the whole song with a red face, only to feel that her mouth was a little dry and her tongue was a little dry, and her heart was pounding uncontrollably.
Shen Yize smiled and asked her, "How is it, is it good?" β
Yang Jiu'an glared at him: "Where did you find inspiration for this lyrics?" β
"From you, of course!"
"Fart! I didn't do that with you! β
"Can't I fantasize about it?"
Shen Yize tried to hug An An, but was pushed away by her palm: "No!" No fantasies! β
Seeing that her face was flushed, he deliberately teased her, and leaned into her ear and whispered: "Oh I I I I I can't stop......"
"Hooligans!" Yang Jiuan immediately gave him a beating, "Let's go, let's eat!" β
Tonight, I made an appointment with Qin Wandi and Cai Youning to have a good time, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, such gatherings are coming one after another, I am going to the farm this weekend, and I will have a dinner with An An's friends next week.
"Put your mask on."
Before going out, Yang Jiuan reminded.
"What?"
Shen Yize was startled, and in a trance, he had the feeling of traveling back to the earth.
There is no virus raging in this world, what mask to wear?
Yang Jiuan urged: "Bring your hat too, don't be recognized." β
That's when he realized what she was talking about.
"Don't bother, no one will recognize us."
"Yes! I was even recognized on my way back! What's more, you, the famous teacher Zhuang Yi, you are more popular than a star now, we must pay attention when we go out together. β
"But if we go by car, we won't have contact with others."
"I asked you to take it with you, I didn't let you wear it now, let's prepare, what if we want to go shopping?"
"Okay."
Although he felt that An An was a little too worried, he still did what she said.
Out.
An An was obviously very happy, humming songs all the way, as for the reason for being happy, Shen Yize knew it in his heart.
After the broadcast of the 3rd episode, An Yi has always been in first place on the official voting list, especially after the special version was broadcast, the gap with the second place has been widened, and it should be stable this week.
Yang Jiu'an was in a very good mood, so good that she never drank alcohol in general, but she didn't refuse Qin Wandi's persuasion today, and had a few drinks.
However, her alcohol consumption is really too bad, a few glasses of low-alcohol wine are already on the head, sometimes forced to chatter, but what she says is not logical; sometimes howled, and had to pull the three of them to sing with her; From time to time, he hugged Shen Yize's neck like a koala and smirked at him.
Shen Yize didn't hesitate to take out his mobile phone to record her embarrassment.
"Wake up, wake up!"
He pinched her tiny nose.
Yang Jiu'an slapped his hand away, opened his eyes in a daze, and asked vaguely, "Where are you?" β
"When you're home, get out of the car."
He got out of the car first, walked to the passenger seat, pulled the car door, and reached out to help her out.
She pushed his hand away: "Don't help me, I can do it myself!" β
Yang Jiu'an was indeed not drunk to that extent, and her consciousness was quite sober, but her walking was not very steady, but her speed was not slow at all, even a little faster than her usual walking.
"Why are you walking so fast, can you find a home?"
Shen Yize followed her and protected her.
Yang Jiu'an stopped and said loudly: "Of course I can find it, isn't it?" β
She pointed to a unit building not far away.
"Ouch? Well, you've even found your way home. β
As soon as she heard this, she immediately jumped up to him, stood on tiptoe, and tried to make eye contact with him: "You think I'm stupid? I'm not stupid! I tell you, this girl is smart! β
"Yes, yes, you're the smartest, let's go, go home."
Shen Yize pressed her shoulder, turned her 180 degrees, faced the direction of home, and urged her to move forward.
"Go home! Go home! β
Yang Jiu'an suddenly stepped forward, shouting the slogan "go home" in his mouth, and walked towards the unit building in the surprised eyes of passers-by.
ββ¦β¦β
He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand and led her to walk well.
She suddenly recited aloud in a straight voice: "There are beautiful days in China, and spring breezes are everywhere in China!" β
This is the slogan hanging in the community, this girl doesn't know what to think, and after reciting it seriously, she immediately laughed as if she owed 20 years of IQ tax.
She was really drunk.
He was also really drunk, so he quickly took out his mobile phone to take a picture of her stupid appearance, and showed it to her when he sobered up tomorrow morning, so that she could understand what social death was.
"If you say drink less, you don't listen, look at you, how drunk you are?"
"I'm not drunk!"
"You're not drunk yet, and without me leading, you can't walk steadily."
Yang Jiuan immediately shook off his hand: "Don't hold me, who asked you to hold me, I can go by myself, I'll show you!" β
Shen Yize shook his head helplessly, pointed to the center line of the road and said, "Then you follow this line, do you see if you can go straight?" β
She immediately did as he said, walked slowly for a few meters on the line, then stopped, turned to look at him, and said triumphantly: "Well, I said I wasn't drunk, right?" β
He complained: "Don't talk nonsense, but if you're not drunk, you won't do what I say!" β
"You-"
Yang Jiuan understood that he had been tricked, and pounced on him with a smile.
It's good to say that it can be regarded as coaxing her to sleep.
It makes sense for this girl not to drink, not to mention the amount of alcohol, she will go crazy when she drinks a little, and it is estimated that she has done embarrassing things when she was drunk before, so she made up her mind not to drink at all.
However, as long as he doesn't go out, An An is still very cute and clingy when he is drunk, and he asks for countless kisses and hugs in one night, and occasionally drinks a little at home in the future, which can add a lot of fun.
He went back to his study and continued his work.
You have to deal with the company's affairs before the Spring Festival.
He decided to hold the company's annual meeting in April and the anniversary celebration, but the year-end bonus still has to be issued before the year, which is a huge expenditure.
This Tuesday, the first issue of "Please Refrigerator" was launched on YouTV, and as of today, three days have passed, and the number of views has reached 30 million.
This data is far inferior to "Heartbeat Signal", nor is it as good as "Longing for Life", but in the online variety shows in the same period, it is quite a bright achievement.
In contrast, Tengfei Video and Qiyi.com's first self-made variety show is called Crotch Pulling, although it is a popular variety show copyright bought from South Korea, but it is not carefully localized, but it is rigid, one-to-one restoration, it is really embarrassing to watch.
"National Treasure" has also been edited, and CCTV issued an official announcement, which is scheduled to premiere on February 6, that is, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Jiangnan TV paid Shen Yize the copyright fee for the second season of "Poetry Conference", and the recording should start after the year.
In addition to this, there are two things that are crucial.
The first thing was that through Quanyu, he had his first contact with Wei Shoucheng's team.
Wei Shoucheng is a senior software engineer who worked at Microsoft, and had four entrepreneurial experiences before contacting Shen Yize, did collaborative office, and also developed search engines, all of which ended in failure.
Although the business failed, he established a team of his own, his professional ability is beyond doubt, after talking, Shen Yize found that his ambition has not been wiped out.
If you want to get involved in the Internet industry and put your ideas into reality, a capable and ambitious technical team is indispensable.
Whether Wei Shoucheng's team can support his blueprint will not be known until they cooperate.
The second thing is the acquisition of overseas music companies, He Yu and Han Zhiqiang have already negotiated with a number of companies, and key issues such as legal liability, approval by the National Development and Reform Commission, foreign exchange registration and settlement, etc., Quanyu promised to help with it, and Shen Yize didn't care about the strength of the original company, and the only thing left was the acquisition conditions and price.
Judging from the report sent back by the two, the progress is quite smooth, and a small company like this with poor performance cannot afford to bid a price, and it may be able to start the acquisition after the year.
