Chapter 13 Return to Zero

Chapter 13 Return to Zero

It's a good group, and Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing were almost turned off by Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing——

Anyway, after Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing finished their conversation, for a full two hours, the group was quiet.

Not only in the group.

Even in the department, many people peeked at Lin Yuan from time to time, with strange eyes.

Obviously these people are also members of the Star Composer group, and they all saw Lin Yuan's speech in the group.

"You have offended many people virtually."

Wu Yong couldn't help reminding Lin Yuan kindly.

Although Lin Yuan's way of speaking in the group seemed inappropriate to him, but seeing the seriousness of the other party's typing, he didn't think Lin Yuan was deliberately grandstanding.

"Why?"

Lin Yuan was a little puzzled.

Faced with Lin Yuan's confusion, Wu Yong didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say with a wry smile: "Probably many people will not understand the way you talk to Sister Jing."

"Why?"

Lin Yuan still didn't understand.

Wu Yong could only helplessly spread his hands: "I can only say, because you are different from others."

"oh."

This time Lin Yuan didn't ask any more questions, although he still couldn't figure out why he would offend others if he was different from others.

"It's not a big deal, at least we're in our composition department on the tenth floor, and everyone is still very friendly to you."

Wu Yong was afraid that Lin Yuan's mentality would be affected, so he comforted him: "Besides, everyone is engaged in art, and they don't have so much fuss, and they won't trip up anyone just because they don't like them. You work hard, and you are still in college. Two, being able to write songs like "Life Like Summer Flowers" shows that you have high potential! When you write good songs in the future, everyone will understand you. In Blue Star, any industry is all about achievements. "

"good."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's mentality was not affected much, Wu Yong felt relieved.

However, although he comforted Lin Yuan, he also knew very well in his heart that it was not easy to write a song of the level of "Life is Like a Summer Flower".

Everyone has moments of inspiration.

When Lin Yuan writes a song of this level again next time, he may not know when it will be.

Even, Lin Yuan may not be able to write a better song like "Born Like a Summer Flower" in his life. This song will become Lin Yuan's only representative work, which is also a common phenomenon in the industry.

If that's the case, then the number one on the Rising Stars list is the brightest moment of Lin Yuan's composition career.

Just then.

Lao Zhou suddenly walked in from the door, his face was a little ugly, and his voice was also tinged with anger: "All of you, immediately put down what you are doing and go to the conference room for a meeting!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Zhou took the lead to enter the meeting room next door, and the sound of slamming the door was a bit loud.

"what's the situation?"

"Who upset the boss?"

"Could it be what Lin Yuan said in the group..."

"I don't know, anyway, I rarely see the boss in such a bad mood."

"Although Lin Yuan's speech in the group was inappropriate, he didn't deserve it, right? He's still a sophomore in school, and it's normal for him to lack experience in human relationships."

"That's true."

"Don't think about it, go in and have a meeting."

The sound of chairs rubbing against the ground sounded, and the people in the composition department got up one after another and followed Lao Zhou into the conference room.

Lin Yuan also followed the conference room.

However, some people worried that Lao Zhou's anger was aimed at Lin Yuan's speech in the group just now. In order to avoid harming Chi Yu, no one was willing to sit beside Lin Yuan.

Wu Yong hesitated for a moment, and sat on Lin Yuan's left.

Immediately afterwards, a man with long hair sat on Lin Yuan's right, and offered his hand to Lin Yuan: "My name is Zheng Han, a 20th graduate of the Composition Department of Qinzhou Art Institute."

"Hello, senior."

Lin Yuan shook hands with the other party politely. Although he didn't talk much, he could sense some details.

"Is everyone here?"

Old Zhou said in a deep voice: "I came to you to talk about one thing. The soundtrack of "Fish and Dragon Dance" has been returned again."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned.

It seems that Lao Zhou's anger has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

Lao Zhou scanned the room with sharp eyes: "This is your list for the tenth floor, don't force me to give the list to other floors."

No one dared to look into Lao Zhou's eyes.

But when Lao Zhou asked a question, everyone had no way to pretend to be dead, so they could only avoid Lao Zhou's gaze and express their opinions in a hurry:

"Boss, isn't the demand for songs from "Fish and Dragon Dance" too high? They don't have top investment, it's just an animated movie with a medium investment."

"Is this the fourteenth time they have returned our work?"

"It's so difficult, do you want our father Qu from the tenth floor to do it himself?"

"The problem is, our father Qu on the tenth floor is definitely not interested in this list."

"It's really impossible to let other floors participate, or just ask them to find another place to do it. Sand Sea, Splendid Silver Light, there are so many capable people in Qinzhou's music circle."

"How could the company agree? If Sand Sea or Splendid Silver Light were made, wouldn't it appear that we are incompetent? Then it would be better to let other floors participate."

"..."

Lin Yuan's eyes were blank.

He didn't know what everyone was discussing.

Wu Yong was assigned by Lao Zhou to bring Lin Yuan here, so he explained: "That's right, there is a large-scale animation film called "Fish and Dragon Dance" in Qizhou, and it has almost finished in the later stage, and now there is still a core soundtrack , so they entrusted us Xingmang to make this soundtrack, and this task finally fell to us on the tenth floor, but we have already made fourteen songs for them on the tenth floor, and all of them were returned!"

"The key is..."

Zheng Han on the right took over the conversation: "These 14 songs that were returned were all produced by our ace players on the tenth floor. Although these people's strength is not up to Qu Dae's level, the quality is definitely not low. , Usually, many big-name singers find these ace composers to cooperate with."

Lin Yuan understood.

However, Lin Yuan chose to remain silent. He didn't think he could handle Party A with so many people on the tenth floor who couldn't handle it by himself——

He has songs in his hand.

But this kind of designated soundtrack project must match the artistic conception of the song with the atmosphere of the movie. If someone shoots a romantic movie, and you end up handing him a rap or rock song, then your song will not It's useless.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Lao Zhou rubbed his temples with some headaches: "A dead horse is a living horse doctor. You can try the soundtrack of "Fish and Dragon Dance". The deadline is one month. I will send Party A's request to you first. There is inspiration, if it still doesn’t work, according to the company’s rules, this order can only be given to other floors.”

Inspiration is a mysterious thing.

It doesn't mean that the songs made by Father Qu are necessarily the best.

Sometimes Father Qu can't handle the task, and a composer whose grades are not as strong as Father Qu may suddenly have an inspiration and make a song that satisfies Party A——

This kind of thing happens occasionally in the composing circle.

It's as if Lin Yuan was able to write "Life Like Summer Flowers" only in his sophomore year this year.

On the one hand, he is very talented in composition. On the other hand, it is very likely that Lin Yuan had a good inspiration and grasped it properly, so he wrote this song.

This is why Wu Yong believes that Lin Yuan may not be able to write songs of the level of "Life is like a Summer Flower" in the future.

Because inspiration is a chance event!

Lao Zhou adopted the strategy of spreading the net here, but there was really no other way. The tenth floor was almost full of trump cards. He couldn't really go to Qu Dae to fight, could he?

No no.

But, you have to pay more!

Probably because of the limited budget of the movie "Dance of the Fish and Dragon", anyway, the current price offered by Qizhou is not worthy of a Qu father.

soon.

Everyone received a piece of paper, on which was printed the soundtrack requirements for "Fish and Dragon Dance".

Lin Yuan also received it.

Because of the confidentiality of the plot, "Dance of the Fish and Dragon" only gives a general overview of the story:

This is a story full of fantasy. A girl rescued a fish many years ago. One day after many years, the girl and her family strayed into a dangerous situation, and the fish had crossed the dragon gate and became a powerful fish. Bailong, and reunited with the girl...

There are only three requirements for the soundtrack.

It needs etherealness, artistic conception and aesthetic feeling.

Just getting the request, the conference room wailed for a while.

"Can Party A's request be more general? Ethereal, artistic conception, aesthetic feeling, isn't this too broad?"

"I didn't catch anything anyway."

"And the time is too short, just one month, one month, with my composition speed, I definitely can't keep up."

"Fantasy stories, the music style should be more unconstrained?"

"It's a fish and a dragon. It's like flying in the sky. It's quite suitable for the whole oboe."

"I think it should be more poignant and sad? Add some bamboo flute elements?"

"Don't think so, this question is too difficult, I can't do it."

"These are not the point! The point is, we have heard all the songs that were returned before! We already have a good feeling! But Qi Zhou still returned it, which shows that we have not yet reached the perfect standard for the feeling they want. .”

"..."

For composers, etherealness is easy, artistic conception is easy, and aesthetic feeling is also easy.

It is not difficult to grasp these three qualities.

But it is not easy to make the tune good enough to touch people's hearts.

It's as if the other party asked for a very hot and dry song.

Everyone here can probably write very hot and dry songs, but this is just a creative direction. There may be only one or two of a thousand very hot and dry songs that can really make people feel excited.

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

In addition to piano pieces, he now has two songs in hand.

One is "Flammable and Explosive". This song is definitely not good, and the artistic conception does not fit.

But what about another song of his own, "Big Fish"?

The style of this song seems to have this meaning.

Did the system have expected it?

While deliberating, Lin Yuan suddenly heard Wu Yong complaining: "Party A in Qizhou is too difficult to deal with! It's a mere five million order, do you still want our father Qu on the tenth floor to do it himself? Can't be moved Don't ask for such a high price for Father Qu."

Lin Yuan quickly asked, "What did you just say?"

Wu Yong was taken aback for a moment: "If you can't pay the price to impress Father Qu, why not ask so high?"

"last sentence!"

"Should we let our father Qu take action?"

"One more sentence!"

"A mere five million orders..."

That's the sentence. After confirming the information he wanted, Lin Yuan nodded vigorously, then quickly picked up the calculator at hand and pressed it.

"Return to zero!"

The small horn of the calculator was quite loud, which immediately interrupted the wailing of everyone in the meeting room. Everyone looked at Lin Yuan at the same time, including the supervisor Lao Zhou.

Lin Yuan didn't notice the gazes around him.

His fingers quickly pressed, accompanied by the sound of the small horn of the calculator resounding throughout the audience:

"5000000 times 0.2 times 2 times 3 equals 666666.666666667."

There was no sound at the scene.

Only calculator reports.

Of course everyone knew what Lin Yuan was talking about.

But just because they knew it, in the silence, everyone's eyes were very strange.

Divided into more than 660,000?

When the counting was over, Lin Yuan happily turned off the calculator, looked up at Lao Zhou, the supervisor, and said word by word:

"I'll take this order."
