Chapter 498: "Snowflakes Fluttering, Cold Wind...... Drizzly? (Occasionally, in a big chapter)

Yangcheng, Feiyang Entertainment Branch. In the general manager's office, An Pingle was holding a report card and couldn't keep his mouth shut.

The above lists the income and expenditure reports of the Yangcheng branch in the past year, as well as the repertoire and income of all employees in the composition department.

"Except for Jiang Kan, who was sent by the headquarters to support, our own composition department staff are gradually starting to produce results......" He looked at the names of the songs on the list, just like the old farmers in the garden looked at the fruits on the branches, and even bent their eyebrows with a smile.

Thanks to the drive of Jiang Kan after coming to the branch, the composition department, which was originally a pool of stagnant water, is now alive like being put into a catfish pond, headed by Jiang Kan's disciple Zhao Junping

Among the "indigenous" creative staff, some income has begun to be recorded one after another. After all, after experiencing personnel shocks and being poached by the other two major companies, the remaining No. 7 and 8 composers in the poor Yangcheng branch can only be said to be two or three kittens, and they can't support the business results of a branch of a giant company at all.

In addition, the headquarters has not paid much attention to the performance of the films, television and music works in the gradually lonely Cantonese-speaking areas represented by the Hong Kong area, and the performance and the mental outlook of the personnel here have also decayed at the same speed and form as the depression and decay of the headquarters of large factories in the mainland in the 80s, and there is no possibility of turning over.

But fortunately, after the savior Jiang Kan joined, with his own superhuman creative ability, it played a huge role in recovering the company's original serious loss of credibility and popularity.

Because of his huge popularity and climactic composition skills, some of the business orders of old customers have begun to flow back to the company.

Some new customers, because of the previous great success, have begun to pay attention to this place, and occasionally hand over some small business orders.

Under Jiang Kan's tutelage, Zhao Junping has also changed from the original one who can only undertake business below 500,000 yuan

"Little Minions" has become the main force that is now mainly responsible for million-level medium production. The other members of the composition department also began to start a second study desperately, constantly improving their own level, and gradually increasing the capacity of small and medium-sized demand orders between 500,000 and 1 million, and no longer only able to take over those small and micro needs of less than 500,000 as before.

"In this way, applying to the headquarters to send a big cow over is really the most correct decision I have made in the past year!" Manager An touched the stubble on his chin, and the corners of his mouth unconcealably outlined a curved arc.

"Yes, Uncle Kan is really a very powerful person, not only is he powerful, but he can also drive the people around him to be powerful together!" Xiang Ping, who sent him these documents, also looked emotional, they had just recently gone to Shashi to visit Jiang Kan who was recuperating in bed, and the other party said that if the company received a big order that others could not handle, they could send it directly to him, and the uncle and nephew were full of admiration and appreciation for this conscientious work attitude.

So much so that now, after getting a relatively large list, their first thought is no longer to invite Jiang Kan directly as soon as they meet like before, but to think about whether there is anyone in their original team who can undertake this list, and they don't have to trouble their own golden thigh for everything.

However, now it has encountered a new demand, which is not high or low at the level of just 1.5 million.

Please Jiang Kan to do it, I feel a bit of a chicken knife to kill. However, as for the original composers in the company, there are really some songs that are still difficult for them to handle.

It's said to be a song, but it's only partially played in the movie, to render the music played by a supporting character who relied on his father's shadow to be arrogant in school, but was later retaliated against by his classmates in a desolate situation.

At the beginning, Manager An wanted Zhao Junping to be in charge of this soundtrack. However, after carefully studying the movie script and song requirements, Zhao Junping was embarrassed and said that it was okay if he only made an ordinary theme song, but he still couldn't do it if it was so suitable for the background music of the characters and the plot encounters.

And the other composers, after seeing the demand, also said that they couldn't make it, so that when they heard this music, they would think of the difficult and demanding songs of this funny supporting character, and let him choose another candidate.

For these composers in his own family, Manager An didn't have any hope at the beginning, and he just asked casually, and didn't expect two or three of them to be able to complete this task.

So in the end, this demand still has to be done by Jiang Kan, the great god. I just don't know if people look at this or not

"Only" is a movie soundtrack with a remuneration of 1.5 million.

"Manager An, why don't you contact Uncle Kan, I think he always has a magical and sensitive sense of the soundtracks of these movies, and he can always accurately grasp the essence of the inside and write a soundtrack that meets the needs of the situation." As a young employee, Xiang Ping did not think deeply about the ideological level of cultivating young composers, so he bluntly proposed that Jiang Kan be responsible for the creation of this song.

"Okay, then let's do it, I just hope Jiang Kan can see such a 'small' production." …… Shashi, in the intensive care ward.

Jiang Kan was holding a tablet, and on it was Xiaomei's and their own

Video of a large-scale performance of the "Dance of the Butterflies" group in Fuso. In the video, a medium-sized theater with a capacity of about 2,000 people is packed.

There was no light in the theater, and the two thousand spectators, each with two orange glow sticks, were waving back and forth quickly and forcefully to the sound of singing that resounded through the hall.

"歌えや歌え心のままにFeel free to sing as much as you wantアナタの声をさぁ文かせてLet me hear your voiceれや踊れ時をforget れForget the timeEnjoy the dance, tonight にああ狂い咲き! Let's bloom together tonight! On the round wide stage, three singers in bright long dresses are swaying their bodies rhythmically with the singing voice of the lead singer Xiaomei, and the movements of their feet and hands are also neat and uniform, full of dynamic beauty.

On the screen, Xiaomei is holding a microphone in one hand and dancing enchantingly with the song in the other, like a conductor who stirs the emotions of the audience, making them frantically follow their singing and dancing and call wildly.

As a science and engineering man who has rarely attended any concerts in the past 40 years, he is really unfamiliar with such a scene, and he has only been a little more exposed to it in the past year.

"Hey, I really envy the atmosphere of the scene over there, tsk, the audience is so enthusiastic, 2,000 people have created the momentum of 20,000 people! Anyway, they're all real fans, aren't they? Smacking his lips, Jiang Kan watched the video sent by Xiaomei with some envy, and couldn't help but think about it in his mind.

The previous leader of the company said that if he reached the first place on the new song list three times or the second place five times in the year, he would hold a concert for himself.

Roll up your fingers and calculate, "Chengdu" won the first place in the current issue in November last year, but that was in 2022 and was not included in this agreement.

Then "Blue and White Porcelain" in April won the first place once, and "On the Moon" in June won the first place once, but that time it was a chorus with Zhao Yu, and most of them were sung in the rap part, and I don't know if it counts.

Big Fish won the second place in June, and now September's "Dark Fragrance" and "Nunchucks" also have a good chance of winning the first place this month.

"By the way, wait, I think it seems like the best of August is also mine?" He flipped through the August charts on Flying Star Music's website.

Sure enough, the number one in the current issue was his "Nocturne". The response to this song was very good at the time, but it seems to have suddenly fallen silent after that, and now the popularity is not as high as when the show was broadcast, and I don't know what the reason is?

Jiang Kan also asked about the system on this issue.

"Half a step ahead is a genius, two or three steps ahead is a madman." With a systematic answer, Jiang Kan temporarily understood it as the musical concept of this song was too advanced, so the listeners at the time were shocked by it and calmed down but found that they didn't understand it, so it was not good to discuss it again, which eventually led to the cold treatment of this song in the market, and there was no way to do it.

"Okay, anyway, gold will shine sooner or later, there is a system, I am not bad for these three or five months, half a year and a year, good things will always prove themselves." Jiang Kan didn't dwell too much on this issue, and Xia Guo's entertainment industry is not without the kind of artwork that no one understood back then, but then suddenly became popular, and his song is nothing.

"Ha, then if "On the Moon" is also counted, there are actually three firsts now, will the promise made by Mr. Gu be fulfilled?" After all, it is a song sung with Zhao Yu, and whether this counts as much depends on what the leader thinks.

Happily thinking about his achievements in his heart, Jiang Kan's face smiled like a blooming flower.

"Jingle bell~" The phone rang suddenly at this time, he put down the tablet and picked up the phone to take a look.

It was his assistant who called Ping, and Manager An was not very embarrassed to talk about it himself.

On the phone, Xiang Ping briefly introduced the song request received this time, which made other employees of the branch quite difficult, and also gave a general introduction to the main content of the movie that invited the song.

The general content of the movie is about a bullied middle school student with poor grades, who travels to middle school after falling at the wedding of his classmates after graduation, and accidentally discovers that he can use advanced knowledge and understanding of songs to copy and sing to become a singer, and then reverse the story of his life.

Recently, lying on the hospital bed to recuperate is fine, Jiang Kan has also begun to look at the Internet that he hasn't seen for a long time, and he is actually very familiar with and understands such a bridge, which is completely different from some middle-aged people of the same age as him.

And the place where this song needs to be used in the movie is the protagonist's fierce rival, a student whose father is a local official, who always uses his own advantages to suppress the protagonist and snatch the beautiful class flower in his mind that should belong to him.

This song will appear in many places in the film, which is considered a relatively important soundtrack, but to say that it is the theme song of this film, it is not to this extent.

Party A has two options. One is that it is just a fragment of music that can be used in the places where these protagonists hit this tragic supporting character hard, without having to produce a song in its entirety, in which case the price is a million dollars.

One is to make a whole song, not only in these places, but also as one of the promotional songs for the whole movie, in which case the price is two million dollars.

Therefore, in the understanding of Manager An and Xiang Ping, this is a song that is evaluated as 1.5 million yuan.

If you don't do it, the performance of more than one million yuan, and now the Yangcheng branch has not reached the level where you can look down on millions of salaries.

"That's the case......" Jiang Kan thought briefly after listening to their introductions.

In the opinion of Xiang Ping on the other end of the phone, Uncle Kan was thinking about the difficulty of making the two options and whether they matched the price.

Indeed, from an outsider's point of view, with Jiang Kan's current worth and coffee position, the creation of more than two million complete songs is the right level, and there is no need to lower his price to do some works.

But for Jiang Kan, it doesn't matter, after all, he has only just been in this new industry for a year, and he has not had time to cultivate the so-called

The bad habit of "star shelf". As far as this list is concerned, of course, there is no possibility for him to choose option one.

I bought songs in the system, and I always bought them in their entirety, where did I get any fragments.

He was actually consulting the system if there was a soundtrack in the system's music library that suited the requirements of the movie.

"Yes, there must be, don't worry about that."

"But just like the previous "Pure Land of Bliss", there are too many such songs, which need to be auditioned and selected by the host itself, and the system will not take the initiative to give a choice, and the host can also regard this as an exercise to exercise their ability to appreciate and consider the theme." With the answer given by the system, Jiang Kan's heart is stable.

I don't know why, when I make such a similar song selection, I always have a dark feeling guiding me, and I can always pick out a suitable song that everyone will give a thumbs up.

After ending the call with Xiang Ping, Jiang Kan entered the system's music library to select. This time, the system provided ten songs that it thought fit this need for Jiang Kan to pick from.

These songs are all selected by the system to meet the requirements of Party A, and the soundtracks of old TV series or movies that are more retro, and they are taken out separately A well-known song that was spread all over the streets and alleys back then, but it was gradually sealed in the corner of people's memory under the erosion of time.

As soon as their melodies ring in the ears, they will naturally awaken the memories of those who had fanatically pursued them in the first place, and such songs will be used as a part of the new movie

"hook", the effect of arousing the emotional resonance of the audience will naturally be quite good.

"Well, listen to this song "Ten Thousand Questions" first? It seems to be a song of a Chinese TV series...... Sounds like a lot of the times......"

"If you use this song, the supporting characters ask thousands of times, why can't I beat the protagonist, this idea is still very good? Can the audience accept such emotional reversal? Jiang Kan clicked on the song and began to appreciate it carefully, and at the same time was thinking about whether it could achieve the kind of sad and cute comedic effect that it was required to have.

Five minutes later.

"It feels almost meaningful, the song is not sad enough, and if used as a comedy movie, it would make it seem too serious and formal, and it will not meet the requirements of the emotional conflict that the film wants......", he scratched his chin that was a little tickled and gave up the song.

"How about trying this song "I Don't Want to Say"? This is also the soundtrack of a well-known TV series......" Jiang Kan clicked on the icon of the second song and began to enjoy it carefully.

"There is no problem with the song itself, and the lyrics are quite refined and sensational......"

"If you use this song, can it be understood that the supporting characters are beaten again and again by the protagonist who has crossed over, and in the end, they are speechless and choked, and there is nothing to say?" With this in mind, Jiang Kan closed his eyes and listened carefully.

Five minutes later.

"This ...... The sense of age is still too heavy, and it is more about the heroine's call and helplessness to the male protagonist, plus a little bit of hatred of iron and steel...... The sad smell of the times is too strong, so let's change it. ”

""Young Ambition is not sorrowful"? The title of this song seems to be very suitable for the requirements of the movie, the supporting characters are rectified by the protagonist again and again, falling and getting up again and again, and then falling again, the young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, and the young man is ambitious and doesn't say anything about it......" Jiang Kan muttered in his mouth, clicked on the music, and listened to it for a few minutes.

"Well, the grumpy and desolate style is enough, but it always feels like it doesn't fit the plot requirements, and the positive and inspirational feelings are too strong, and it doesn't seem to fit their needs very well......" He smacked his lips, his eyes rolled upward, and his brain raced to make a careful judgment on the correlation between the two.

"Forget it, let's play this song first, let's listen to the next one first............ In this way, Jiang Kan then listened carefully to all the songs listed by the system, but he still didn't decide which song to choose.

"Well, let's listen to it again, they don't need time to rush anyway, and as soon as I choose it, the system will erase my memory of these songs, they are all very good songs, and it is a waste to listen to them only once." It didn't take long for the songs to be listened to.

Because they are really classic songs that are very seriously produced, it makes him feel a little difficult, like an otaku whose stomach can only accommodate one meal and suddenly encounters someone to treat him, hot pot, barbecue, Western food...... Optional, but only eat the same feeling as when eating.

Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Kan was immersed in the sea of these songs, going back and forth and listening to them many times, until the sun had sunset, and Zhang Yu walked in with a lunch box.

But I heard him humming a strange melody, and the lyrics were also very bleak, but inexplicably a little catchy?

"The snowflakes are fluttering, the cold wind is dashing~" Jiang Kan subconsciously hummed along with the melody remaining in his mind, the thoughts in his mind were running at high speed, and he suddenly felt that this song had some demonic brainwashing feelings?

"That's it, it sounds like this song is still very right, in addition to the tragedy, desolation and sorrow required by Party A, there is a little bit of banter and funny flavor in it, which is very rare!" After listening to the last song, the corners of his mouth that had been drooping finally curled, and he happily sketched a strange and rewarding smile.

After carefully comparing for a long time, Jiang Kan finally chose this song that made him subconsciously want to stop.

"Hey, our great composer Mr. Jiang Kan is closing his eyes and meditating again? Are you thinking of a new work today? Zhang Yu held a tray with two large ceramic lunch boxes in it, carefully pushed open the door of the ward and walked in slowly.

Both lunch boxes are quite large, which is very suitable for a big-bellied man like Jiang Kan. One of them is divided into two grids, which contain Kung Pao chicken and shredded ginger pork, and the colors are very cute.

Another lunch box is full of large white rice, and there are small half-bags of mustard piled up next to it, which looks even more appetizing.

These dishes are Jiang Kan's favorite food, and the fragrance caused the saliva in his mouth to secrete frantically as soon as he entered the door.

"Ha, I'm really thinking, there's a new list from Yangcheng, the ...... for the movie" Jiang Kan didn't say much, first picked up the small table on the bed on the table next to him and put it in front of him, and then took the other party's tray with both hands and put it firmly on it, the aroma of the food quickly spread to the tip of his nose, which stimulated him to start eating immediately.

"Hey, you guys who do literary and artistic work have a sense of accomplishment! How many people have watched a movie when it is released, at least tens of thousands of people, if it is particularly good, it will continue to be passed on, and the world knows it...... Like those of us who are doctors, we can't have thousands of patients in our lifetime, we are all doing obscure work, and no matter how good we do, only the patients themselves know......" Zhang Yu habitually complained a few words about his work, and praised Jiang Kan, which made the latter very embarrassed.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, none of the dishes in the intensive care ward today are your favorite, it just so happens that there are these two dishes in our doctor's cafeteria, I thought they were your favorite food and called you, do you like the taste?" Listening to the other party's understatement of high-end topics that mortals can't reach in their lifetime, Zhang Yu only smiled with some regret and became accustomed to it, and began to introduce today's dishes to Jiang Kan.

This chapter is a little hilarious when it's written.,If you're not careful, you write a little more.,You shouldn't mind.。
