Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

At the end of November, the temperature in Shanghai has cooled down, but places with plenty of sunshine still make people feel cool and refreshing in autumn. new

In the "Golden Stone Garden", boys and girls are playing team-building games that they love to see.

The content of the game is called "Liusha River". Several people spread their legs and form a centipede shape. The last person steps on other people's feet and moves forward without touching the ground. Then the second person passes in turn until everyone has taken a turn. If you land in the middle, start over.

That's pretty stupid.

But in this day and age, it's quite new, at least they themselves are having fun.

This is already the third day of team building.

These handsome men and beauties are already familiar with each other and are familiar with the fact that they will face a new environment when they return to China.

Zhou Rui also gradually figured out the strengths of each boy and the characteristics of each girl.

In addition to the daily lectures on teaching and learning and solving doubts, sometimes there are also small classes in the evening to talk about the heart, and the elite one-on-one, which can be regarded as completely "conquering" these students.

In three days, a lot of things were clarified. The tone and foundation of the Chinese media were finally set. The road ahead will be much easier.

But there is still a small piece of the puzzle missing before the team building can come to a perfect conclusion, and Zhou Rui needs to pick it up personally.

In the evening, Zhou Rui walked into his room alone with his computer in his arms.

Close the curtains, make sure the computer has sufficient power and the background processes are clean.

Then Zhou Rui opened the system interface in his mind.

“Focus (2/5)”

Last time I drove it for three minutes, the sequelae were still a bit serious. This time I drove it for two minutes and saw the effect.

Zhou Rui took a deep breath, adjusted his body to the best condition, thought about it, lifted his legs, and made a "five hearts to the sky" movement on the bed. new

"Master Time"! start up!

In an instant, Zhou Rui's thoughts quickly rose into the sky, overlooking his body like an observer.

After nearly a month, he returned to the "Thing Palace" again.

The soul is like the freest and happiest bird, flying rapidly through the void. This kind of happiness, no matter how many times, is hard to extricate itself from.

This feeling is so wonderful

"In the future, you should find more reasons to start the 'Master Time' and reward yourself."

“Once a day is not too much!”

"You just use your hands while taking a shower!"

Some random thoughts popped up.

Zhou Rui quickly woke up, and the addiction to "Master Time" appeared again.

very scary!

Disperse your distracting thoughts! Get down to business now!

This time, he came to "compose" music.

Chinese media already has a stable foundation, but after all, it needs musical works as bullets.

It doesn’t need to be of high quality, but it must be in line with the current trend, and it must have continuous output.

He plans to use his "master time" to package and produce some mass-produced works, and produce some "medium-to-high-level" songs that, although he may not like them himself, are in line with the market's preferences.

In the past, when he composed music, the most important thing was what he liked. Whether "Stars and Sea" or "Chasing Dreams", they were composed for himself and Li Wenqian, and the effort and emotion to celebrate them were different.

But this time, he was only doing one job. new

In just 2 seconds, Zhou Rui determined his goal.

He retrieved his memory bank.

Maybe I heard one or two fragments in a shopping mall.

Maybe it’s the background music I’ve seen in short videos.

Since they are all scraps of memory, and many even only have chorus fragments and harmony fragments, they must be processed with the help of "master time". Just relying on "absolute musicality" is not enough.

Zhou Rui especially focused on works with good dissemination power in East Asia.

Korean, Japanese, English, some fragmented fragments, play their own role.

Fragments and melodies were retrieved from the memory bank.

His purpose is very clear, to extract the essence, remove the dross, combine it with the times, and re-write the lyrics to create a brand new Chinese-language work.

Like building toys?

Uh-huh! Also consider the characteristics of those “students”.

Why? ! How can Hualiu not have Chinese elements? Plus plus plus!

His fingers were tapping rapidly on the computer, and the sound of the keystrokes was like a buzzer.

The computer was getting hotter and hotter, even burning his legs a little, but Zhou Rui didn't notice it, and his hands were almost leaving residual images.

After two minutes of "master time is over", Zhou Rui took a deep breath and woke up.

My head was a little dizzy, and the feeling of falling from the clouds into the quagmire appeared again, but it was less severe than the previous two times!

Looking down at the laptop, I already had the lyrics and music of seven songs on it.

"Master Time" is simply terrifying

Zhou Rui rubbed his temples, poured himself a glass of water, and lay in bed in a daze.

After giving these seven "toy songs" to Li Yuehua, he would be able to get away from Chinese Media for a while.

No matter how excellent each song is, it has the potential to be "widely spread", especially in East Asia.

It's the kind of song that may not be high-end, but is absolutely pleasant to the ears, and is very suitable for Chinese media to open up the situation.

After about two hours of daze, Zhou Rui's thoughts finally settled down and stopped wandering.

At present, if the master time is fully opened for five minutes, it will stretch the hips for 48 hours.

Three minutes, the aftereffects last about half a day.

Two minutes, only two hours of aftereffects.

Because he was using it extremely cautiously and only infrequently, Zhou Rui was still unable to confirm whether his resistance to the sequelae had gradually increased.

take it easy.

Zhou Rui sent an email with lyrics and music to Li Yuehua's mailbox, and then found her in the restaurant.

"I sent you an email in the mailbox. There are seven songs in it, which can be used as a stepping stone in the early stage. Let them practice hard and get them all figured out. I will let the people from QQ Music practice with you about the song promotion."

Although Li Yuehua hasn’t seen those works yet, he released seven songs at once

All I can say is that an expert is an expert!

Too tall to be human.

“After that, in the initial stage, it’s up to you to control it, so keep working hard.”

Li Yuehua nodded. She is very motivated now. She has contacted many former resources and old friends and is making a reasonable debut plan.

From the perspective of maximizing the utilization of resources and the current market trend, it is definitely more cost-effective to take the "group" route.

For more details, she didn't want to bother Zhou Rui with everything and let Zhou Rui make the decision. Otherwise, wouldn't it make her, a "senior worker," look incompetent?

Learn to move on your own!

At noon on the fourth day, the group packed their luggage, got on the bus again, and left the "Golden Stone Garden".

Went to the new headquarters of Chinese Media.

Located in YP District, two subway stops away from Wujiaochang, University District.

The place is more remote and the rent is cheaper.

Chinese Media rented a two-story space here.

Coincidentally, this is also what was left after a gym closed down.

Zhou Rui seems to be having trouble with the gym.

There are two floors, with the first floor serving as reception, office and leisure areas.

The second floor is the practice area, including a dance studio and a physical fitness room.

The original layout of the gym just met the needs of "Chinese Media", and even the fitness equipment was bought at cabbage prices to keep.

Since only simple modifications were made, it can be put into use quickly.

As for the music part, there are only some basic things, such as speakers, microphones, etc. If you need professional equipment, you have to go to Qingke Studio, which is not too far away. The frequency of use there is not too high anyway, and everything is exhausted. Use it.

Accommodation is in a nearby community, with four rooms, distributed according to gender.

The students are very motivated for the future. They will soon get the songs written by their teachers and use them as a basis for choreography and practice.

With the earnest guidance of my beloved teacher, I worked hard silently, prepared actively, and waited for the day when I would emerge from my cocoon and become a butterfly.

With the team building coming to an end, Zhou Rui finally returned to school and is about to return to normal life.
