Chapter Seventy-Two: A Headache Animated Soundtrack
On Saturday night, Jiang Kan still went to a tavern and brought the singing of "Chengdu" and "People Like Me" to Boss Liu and the guests.
On Monday, as soon as Jiang Kan stepped into the office of the composition department, he felt a low pressure circling here.
The colleagues who usually laughed from morning to night did not say a word at this time, and they all quietly hid in their workstations and pretended to be dead dogs.
Even Yu Xiaoyao, who usually greets her warmly when she sees her, just secretly raised her hand and silently said "hi" to herself.
"What's the situation?"
Jiang Kan also lightened his movements, carefully placed his backpack on the table, and then turned his head to ask her.
"Who upset Director Yang? Or is there any bad news about our composition department? ”
"Hey, that's not the ......"
Yu Xiaoyao lowered her voice and was about to speak, but she heard a shout from the supervisor's special office, which was obviously suppressing her anger:
"Everyone put down their work and come to my meeting!"
"yes, that's what I think is going to do."
Yu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue and didn't continue, but turned off the monitor, got up and walked towards the supervisor's office.
“……”
Jiang Kan didn't ask again, and walked over.
Eight colleagues from the composition department, including Deng Gang, who had been lying in the corner without speaking, all entered Director Yang's spacious office together.
Everyone sat or stood, waiting for Director Yang, who seemed to be in a bad mood, to announce or inform them of something.
"Everyone, two weeks ago, the Beiying Animation of Fusang Country and the anime theme song of "City in the Clouds" that we invited, I think everyone still remembers, right?"
Director Yang did not sit, but stood with his back against the large desk, facing everyone.
"Remember, didn't each of us try to make a song for them to send over, and then in the end they chose Sister Chang's song?"
A middle-aged colleague with a mustache and curly hair asked in surprise.
"That's right, we sent them over at the time, and they didn't raise any objections, so I thought it was done."
"But this morning, a colleague from the company's business department came to me and said that they had returned this piece, saying that ...... 'the melody of the arrangement is too oriental'?"
Director Yang slapped the table hard, obviously extremely angry!
"It's been two weeks, and there has been no feedback for two weeks, but I suddenly said no, and gave such a far-fetched reason...... Aren't they the East? They sunrise an hour before us! But they say that our music is too 'oriental'! How unreasonable! ”
"What? How so? ”
"Is there any mistake, we said we wanted to see the film before we started writing, but they didn't show it to us on the grounds that the plot was confidential!"
"Yes, there is no reference, so I can only write according to the requirements they put forward at the time, and the result is written, and it has been submitted for so long before I say that it is not appropriate!"
……
For a while, everyone in the room was angry.
"Alas...... The company attaches great importance to this cooperation, and wants to take advantage of this to open up the market of Fusang and leverage the market dominance of Xinghai......"
Lao Yang pinched his eyebrows and tried his best to stabilize his emotions.
"The composition department of our Rongcheng branch received this list, and the company values us, don't force the headquarters to take the list away and give it to the people from the headquarters or Yangcheng branch to do!"
Lao Yang's words made everyone feel angry in their hearts, but I have to say that the other party's requirements are really too harsh.
Eight colleagues in the composition department got up early and worked late for half a month, and each of them came up with a perfect song.
Moreover, because I haven't seen the finished film, everyone's style is as different as possible, in order to let the other party have more angles to choose from.
But I didn't think about it, it's been more than two weeks since it was handed over, and it was still returned.
The faces of the people were gloomy.
"Xiao Yao, tell me, what kind of animation is this "City in the Clouds"? What's going on over there? ”
Jiang Kan and Yu Xiaoyao stood close, so he quietly turned his head sideways and asked in Xiao Yao's ear.
"That's right, an animation master from Fuso spent two years working with his team to produce an animated film called this name."
"This master is known for his huge brain, plot twists, and sincere and touching plots, and he has many fans all over the world."
"And what about this animation, they originally wanted to find a soundtrack master in their country to make a soundtrack, but this master had too many lists on hand, and he was really too busy, and he didn't want to perfunctory the soundtrack of such a big-budget anime movie, so he had to reluctantly refuse them."
"So, they found our company, and it just so happened that our Rongcheng branch had many previous experiences in making soundtracks for animations, so the top was also assigned to us."
"I just didn't expect them to be so picky and demanding, we all passed eight tunes, and they were still not satisfied......"
Yu Xiaoyao pressed Jiang Kan's ear and whispered to him what happened.
Jiang Kan's mouth opened wide in surprise, but he didn't know what to say.
This is already a group of top composers in Xia Kingdom, and they can't meet each other's requirements?
"Here we are...... Isn't there a composer at the level of a composer? ”
He asked Yu Xiaoyao curiously.
After all, no matter how picky the other party is, it won't make the second-ranked music company in China helpless, right?
What about people? What about Qu Dad? What are you doing?
"Heh, there were originally, there were three Qu Dad before, but weren't they all poached by Xinghai, Lao Yang was also demoted from minister to supervisor for this reason, and he has been waiting for his meritorious service to be reinstated......"
Zheng Yupeng heard their discussion and interjected.
"Oh...... I see......"
Jiang Kan understood, and nodded thoughtfully.
The feeling is that the talents here have been looted by the biggest competitors, resulting in the withering of talents.
It's no wonder that the people here grit their teeth when they mention Xinghai.
But as for hating them for poaching their own Qu Dad and making the department's competitiveness drop significantly, or hate that they didn't poach themselves when they poached their corners......
That's a matter of opinion.
"You guys, don't talk to each other over there!"
Director Yang saw the whispering of the three of them and interrupted their communication.
"If you have any ideas, go back and think about it! Our branch must handle this matter, and we must not be robbed by those guys in the headquarters and Yangcheng, my old Yang can't afford to lose this person! ”
"There's still a week to go, let's think about it again, and I'll send you a copy of some of the new plots they have sent, these guys, who pick and search, won't send more detailed explanations, and don't care about the difficulties of our composers...... Meeting! ”
Director Yang slapped the table again and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
The crowd left the office in twos and threes and returned to their seats.
