Chapter 417: The Masters' Doubts
"Minister Sun, this is the situation, Jiang Kan's news is now being spread by those media, and we must also come forward to suppress it."
In Feiyang Entertainment's Magic Capital Headquarters, in the office of the Minister of Brokers, Zhang Lingling was sitting on the chair opposite Minister Sun, reporting to him.
"Yes, this matter must be suppressed, how many classic songs have Jiang Kan made since he came to our company, but he is a treasure composer, we must protect him, and we can't make our colleagues feel cold."
Minister Sun is a person who does not smile, and at this moment he also expressed his views very seriously.
"I had actually seen the news before, but at that time it was just some tabloids, so I didn't take it seriously, I didn't expect Xinghai and Light to take action overnight, hehe......
Minister Sun's fingers tapped on the table and laughed twice.
"It is estimated that the price and influence of this list of "Ice and Snow Magic" this time are too great, and they want to take the opportunity to confuse the water, make Jiang Kan's reputation stink, and then let the other party scruple public opinion and not adopt his works, right? It's a good calculation."
Standing tall is a matter of cooperation with major international film companies, and only the top of some large companies can associate it with sky-high high-end music competition lists.
People with lower status don't even know that there is such a thing, let alone associate this "entertainment news" with a song with a production cost of five million meters.
"Yes, not only for the reputation of our composer colleagues, but also for the sake of our company's order of five million meters, Jiang Kan, as a talented composer who has been in the limelight recently, is very likely to take down this order for our company, just for this company must help him clear up the rumors."
Zhang Lingling saw that her boss agreed, and at this time, a stone in her heart also fell to the ground.
But in order to make him pay more attention to this matter, he still added another ballast stone.
"Of course, "A Laugh in the Sea" and "The Book of Difficult Reading", as well as "The Love of My Life", let us see Jiang Kan's genius-like talent in the soundtrack of the film and television industry, and the company will rely more on his talent to win more orders in the future, ahem......
Minister Sun coughed twice, cleared his throat, and continued to speak seriously.
"Well, I'll contact the other brother departments in the department to work together on this matter, so you don't have to worry too much. By the way, recently Huang Shengcai and Jiang Linlin's "Voice of the Trend" is about to enter the preliminary screening stage, you have to keep an eye on the registration and participation of those contracted singers in the company, this variety show I have a hunch that it will be very grand and influential, we can't lag behind the sea of stars and light."
Minister Sun's words reminded Zhang Lingling that she has been busy with the signing of new singers and some old songs recently, and she was a little negligent if she didn't take care of the new variety show for two days.
"I know Minister Sun, I will always keep an eye on this variety show. By the way, Jiang Kan is also going to participate in this show, and we had better help him solve this matter before the official competition starts on the 10th, but we can't affect his mood for the competition because of this......
In order to make the other party pay more attention to this matter, Zhang Lingling reminded again.
"Mr. James, are you confident that you will win this big order from Case Animation this time?"
In a studio full of musical instruments and recording equipment, two men are talking.
One of them, dressed in casual home clothes, with his hair dishevelled like a bird's nest and his bloodshot red eyes, held a pen in his hand and quickly wrote and drew on the already full stave paper, pausing for thought before continuing to scribble the notes.
The other was dressed professionally in a suit and leather shoes, and his shiny hair was combed back neatly, showing his extremely professional attitude.
"Half and half."
The composer, known as James, did not look back, but simply moved the pen back a little more, modifying one of the notes on it.
"Ha, you're the top composer in our company, and you're also a country
One of the top composers in the country, is it so unconfident that he will win this list?"
When the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes heard this, his eyes showed three points of curiosity and seven points of surprise.
"It's not surprising Sam, as you said, I'm just one of the top composers, and when everyone has a chance to grab such a huge order, the competition is as fierce as you can imagine."
James White lifted his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced out of the corner of his eyes at the colleague he called Sam.
"When I say that there is half a chance, I am already overestimating my own strength. In fact, in the face of so many competitors, in addition to strength, I also have to use some luck to be half sure."
He returned his gaze to the sheet music in front of him and continued to sketch it with his pen.
"Ah, indeed, that's the case, and you have a point."
Sam shifted his position and continued to lean himself against the side of the porch.
"Case Animation has invested heavily this time to get back the No. 1 position in the market in terms of animated films, and this custom theme song alone has cost 5 million, and it is still solicited from all over the world......
He smacked his lips and struck a helpless pose.
"So, indeed, we have to face not only the famous composers in China, but also other composers from all over the world, such as the classical masters in Europe, and the tartar master in Fuso, and even ...... There is also a ......" Chinese Net
Sam was a little stuck, and couldn't think of the name of the person he wanted to say, so he awkwardly buckled the tip of his nose.
"The genius composer of Xia Kingdom, the master who wrote the piano piece "To the Original TA" that shocked the world - Jiang Kan!"
James said his colleague in one bite, and at the same time, the name that he and his colleagues were afraid of, which helped him alleviate this embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, that's how it sounds, right? The song "Castle in the Sky", which he composed for the film "City on the Clouds" directed by the animation giant of Fuso Country, "Castle in the Sky", has already shown his genius creative talent......
Sam looked up at the ceiling of the cluttered music room, and part of his eyes looked through the window on the wall to the clear blue sky.
"You're treating him as your imaginary enemy, James?"
He asked curiously, but wasn't sure if his naturally strong composer colleague would give him a definite answer.
"All the masters are my imaginary enemies, not just him."
The subject of the questioning did not give a direct answer, but his answer clearly showed that Jiang Kan was indeed one of the enemies he envisioned in the competition list this time.
"I've already investigated, and the big entertainment company called "Feiyang" in Xia Guo did take this order, they have a lot of excellent musicians, and "Jiangkan" is indeed their employee, so ......
Sam walked over and patted James on the shoulder.
"Come on, if you're the one who wins the order and the hefty five million dollars this time, it's his and his colleagues' turn to discuss your formidable rival on the other side of the world, isn't it?"
Fuso country, the residence of the famous composer Master Tageshi.
The master, who was over sixty years old, was in his study, holding his favorite gold-encrusted fountain pen, writing and drawing on a stave.
He frowned for a moment, remained in the same position, and did not move for several minutes.
After a while, when inspiration came, he quickly "brushed" and quickly drew some lifelike tadpoles on the staff.
On the wooden coffee table on the other side of the room, a white porcelain basin was inserted into a silent burning incense, and the curling white smoke emitted a fragrance that seemed to spread to every corner of the room.
Outside the window of the study, there is a courtyard paved with white stones and fine sand.
The garden is surrounded by beautiful flowers and greenery, which decorates the entire courtyard elegantly and brightly.
"Kick ......"
A quick, light footstep came from the wooden corridor in the distance.
Then there was a "brush", the half-open paper door was opened, and a voice came from the door to the ears of the old man who was composing.
"Teacher, there's already news about what you asked me to inquire about."
It was a middle-aged man's voice, rough but polite.
There was no voice answering him in the room, and the middle-aged man had to remain in a kneeling position, bowing his head and waiting for the teacher's reply.
After a few more minutes, Master Tartstone put down the pen in his hand, wiped his hands with a wet towel beside him, and then half-turned to him and said:
"Tell me about your news."
"Yes, Teacher."
The middle-aged man bowed respectfully again, then raised his head and replied.
"The composer Jiang Sang you are concerned about has accepted the production of this animation song order, and our people have confirmed that Feiyang's branch has taken this order, and I think they can only be qualified to write this song."
Seeing that there was a puzzled look in the teacher's eyes, the man gave a detailed explanation.
"According to some of my intelligence, the performance of their branch has been poor in the past few years, even to the point of being closed, and Jiang Sang was dispatched there as a commissioner two months ago to improve their performance."
The middle-aged man respectfully knelt on the soft and clean tatami mat and continued to report the information he had obtained in an admiring tone.
"And after that, in May and June, Jiang Sang brilliantly created the soundtracks of two movies, two TV series and a major computer game and received great acclaim, both films were volcanic hits, and the ratings of the two TV dramas reached 2.9% for a new drama, and a national IP drama exceeded 4.9%!"
"And the game he scored also sold more than 1 million copies, and in just two months, it was already in the top 10 of the year in their country!"
The middle-aged man reported, his face full of admiration and envy.
But looking at his teacher's old but resolute figure and expression, the admiration and envy for Jiang Kan on his face immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Hehe, having such a strong opponent is both a challenge and an incentive for me!"
Master Tartstone sat upright, subconsciously stroked his knee with his right hand, raised his head slightly and said with emotion.
"At the beginning, I was too busy, so I regretted that I didn't take over the soundtrack of my old friend Gong Qi's masterpiece, and this Jiang Sang took over, and then created such a wonderful "Castle in the Sky", every time I hear about it, I feel reverence......
A look of yearning appeared in his eyes, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I've never heard such a powerful soundtrack, it's ...... When you hear it, you think they're born and they should be like this!"
"Later, I also collected some of his pop music to listen to, and I feel that I have benefited a lot......
He nodded slightly, then shook his head again.
"Hehe, in this way, I don't dare to say that I have half the chance of succeeding in this competition, Jiang Sang, what a powerful opponent!"
Jiang Kan, who was in the Xia Kingdom, of course, would not perceive the evaluation of him by these two composers.
Nor would he know that his fame had inadvertently spread across the ocean to the ears of composers in distant foreign lands.
At this moment, he is concentrating on selecting the songs that will participate in the preliminary screening of "The Sound of Trends" this time.
After all, Zhang Lingling told him that the company would help him get it done, so that he wouldn't worry too much, so as not to affect his mood and state of participating in the new variety show.
Jiang Kan himself thinks the same way, after all, Feiyang is also one of the Big Three, and it is very simple to refute a rumor about such a nonsensical news.
As for the sky-high competition list worth 5 million meters that the world's composers are bothered by, he doesn't care very much, after all, he has already ordered it in the system, and the finished song is already lying in his system warehouse.
It's just that it will be left for a few days for the time being, otherwise if you hand it in now, wouldn't it be another way to give those rumors a solid mouth?
What bothers him now is what song he should choose to sing when he participates in a new variety show this time.
He asked Zhang Lingling's opinion, and the other party just said that with his own strength, he could make it to the rematch if he picked any song.
But Jiang Kan himself is not so self-confident, or he is not so arrogant that he is like the protagonist of entertainment and literature, he only needs to shake his body in front of the examiner, and the other party will bow his head and offer him both hands that have passed the qualification.
Moreover, fame has no role in this primary selection, the examiner can't see the faces of the contestants at all, and both sides are separated by curtains, so it is impossible for people to take extra care of you because you are a star.
