265 The last piece of the puzzle

After the online contract was finalized, less than a week later, Walker, a teenager from far away in Northern Europe, handed over the finished product.

It's a pity that Xu Zhe immediately called back and asked him to revise it.

Three days later, Walker changed out the second edition.

Xu Zhe's reply is not as good as the first version, and he continues to change.

After another three days, Walker's third edition was handed in. This time, Xu Zhe didn't call back to make people change, but he was still a little dissatisfied.

"There is always a gap with the original......"

It was another Saturday night, Xu Zhe sat in front of the computer and sighed.

He knew that Walker should have been sixteen or seventeen years old when he actually wrote that hit single, and now this guy is only fourteen years old, younger than Xu Zhe. Fortunately, although Walker is now immature and young, he has really helped. At least, according to his needs, the tune was made to look good.

In the previous life, the first to become popular was "fade", a typical unmanned electronic music. Later, based on this electronic music, a female version of "faded" was adapted. And before that, the requirements he gave Walker were all based on the first version.

The initial idea was simple. Just follow the creative trajectory of the previous life, at most give a little impetus. But now it seems that there are still some assumptions.

So he replied: "You rest first, I'll try some new melodies, and then I'll give it to you to make." 】

Walker: [I'm sorry, I may not have satisfied you. I just want to know, does the remuneration we agreed in advance still count? I don't mean to strike, I just want to make sure. 】

Although there are no symbols to express emotions, just by looking at this text, Xu Zhe can see the other party's apprehension.

He replied: "The remuneration will not change. 】

Walker: [You're so generous, thank you!] I'm going to work harder in the future! 】

Of course, Xu Zhe did not intend to deduct the other party's compensation. 30,000 meters is really nothing to him now, but if he can attract a promising genius with this, it will be too cost-effective.

Then he called someone on the other side of the door.

"Hey, is Fei Feiling free now? Well, I'm home too. Can you come over now? I have something very important that I would like to talk to you about. ”

Hanging up the phone, Xu Zhe got up and went to open the door.

Walking from the study to the door, he just unscrewed the doorknob and pulled it in, and saw the girl frozen in the doorway.

Tang Lingfei was standing there at this time, raising her right hand, obviously about to knock on the door.

Xu Zhe: "You're really fast." ”

Tang Lingfei raised her little face: "That's, I said 'right away', that's the real 'right away'." ”

Xu Zhe: "Okay, come in, little pony, and talk to you about music." ”

He took the initiative to find himself, which made Tang Lingfei very happy. But the casual title made her very inexplicable: "Who is the foal?" ”

"Just kidding, don't mind."

Xu Zhe just suddenly felt that this girl ran over as soon as she shouted, a bit like the protagonist's beloved horse in the game. However, the difference is that Xu Zhe does not ride a horse like in the game.

He led the girl into the study and moved a chair to the computer monitor.

Then, he sat down in another chair, picked up the mouse, and clicked on the game music folder.

"It's all half-finished, you can listen to it and tell me how it feels."

Xu Zhe clicked play.

The speakers next to the monitor rang. But Tang Lingfei listened to it, but couldn't help frowning slightly.

She muttered, "Does it have anything to do with those clips I gave you?" What a change......"

Xu Zhe: "Well, it's equivalent to a re-creation. And I also got someone to make the electronic music, so it sounded even more different. These three pieces of music are three different versions. ”

Tang Lingfei nodded, stopped talking, and listened silently.

Xu Zhe got up and closed the window so as not to be affected by the noise outside. Then he sat back in his chair and stared at the girl who was listening intently.

He has seen many people say that serious boys are the most attractive. But at this time, he found that at this point, it could be both male and female.

Tang Lingfei has always given him an image of a vibrant green plum next door, of course, in fact, it is indeed a green plum next door. But since she was a child, this girl seems to be a little reckless, and she always has nothing to do with words like talent and charm.

But at this time, the girl supported her chin with one hand, and gently slapped her index finger on the table with the other hand.

After listening to all three versions, Tang Lingfei commented: "The first version is very natural, but it is a bit ordinary. The second version is not ordinary, but it is not natural at all, and it always feels a little ......"

Xu Zhe: "Harsh? ”

Tang Lingfei nodded: "Yes, it's that feeling that something is wrong." Because the second version is so fragmented that it sounds too strange. The third version is much better, and I think it must be enough to use it as the background music of the game. ”

Xu Zhe sighed: "Enough is enough, but I always feel that since it's all here, why don't you keep improving?" ”

Tang Lingfei: "How do you want to keep improving?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Let's compose." I'll mark what works, mark what doesn't, and then you try to fill in the syllables. ”

Tang Lingfei thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "You don't know what this piece should look like, but you know what it shouldn't be, is that what it means?" ”

Xu Zhe nodded: "That's right, I can rule out the wrong answer." ”

Even if he doesn't have musical talent, at least he knows what the original song sounds like. As long as there is a big difference from the original song in my impression, then the farther away from the correct answer will naturally be.

After trying a variety of unsuccessful attempts to copy the song, he had to resort to the clumsiest method of elimination. Fortunately, the young original author has helped him narrow down the scope that needs to be excluded.

He opened the third edition with music editing software and extracted the main theme. A horizontal line of varying heights symbolizes the ups and downs of the tone along the timeline.

"These, these, and this paragraph, and these two paragraphs. That's all we need to change now. Over to you. ”

Tang Lingfei stared at the screen and rubbed her hands: "Okay, I have a mission tonight." ”

Xu Zhe was a little surprised: "Can you do it in one night?" ”

Tang Lingfei: "Your game is done, and all that's left is music, right?" Then I can't hold you back. Tonight, you see how I get it done! ”

Although I feel that this girl always has a bad habit of inserting flags indiscriminately, of course he will not discourage others at this time. So after saying "come on", he picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Song Huaifeng:

[I need to revise another version of the contract I drafted for Walker. Because I might have another composer here. 】

Although Tang Lingfei didn't mention the remuneration at all, Xu Zhe didn't plan to let her work in vain.
