Rebirth of the music superstar

"Boom!" At 09:30 the next morning, Ye Ze knocked on Feng Chu's office door on time.

But no one answered inside, but the door suddenly opened, and it was Xiao Zhu.

"Here we come." Xiao Zhu opened the door for Ye Ze with a smile.

Ye Ze was a little uneasy. The tone of Feng Chu's phone call yesterday was uneven, which made his mood a little uneven. He was worried that Feng Chu would not be satisfied with the song he wrote. Now seeing Xiaozhu smiling, Just a little bit more at ease.

Feng Chu didn't sit behind the desk today, but sat on the sofa beside him. When he saw Ye Ze coming in, he waved to him: "Come and sit." He signaled Ye Ze to sit on the sofa next to him and talk.

"Morning Director." Ye Ze carefully sat down on the sofa next to Feng Chu, with two armrests between them.

"Morning." Feng Chu greeted Ye Ze while fiddling with the computer on the small table in front.

Ye Ze took a glance and found that it was his own DEMO.

"Ye Ze, what would you like to drink?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"I don't want to trouble you." Ye Ze was a little nervous.

"Just give him water, I want a cup of coffee." Feng Chu ordered, and then said to Ye Ze, "It doesn't matter in the company, we are all on our own, you must clearly explain what you want to drink outside, you are a singer, many drinks can't Drinking it is not good for your throat, it would be impolite if you don’t drink it when someone brings it to you, so you can’t say it casually, you know?”

Ye Ze nodded nervously, he is not very good at this kind of thing.

"You can't smoke or drink, you know?" Feng Chu confirmed.

"Director, don't worry." Ye Ze nodded.

He had a heart attack before, so these things are not allowed to be touched, so there is no problem.

"That's good." Feng Chu was very satisfied with Ye Ze's well-behaved, then took out a stack of music scores and said, "Let's talk about the music you gave me earlier."

"Yesterday you said there was something wrong with my song, but what is it?" Ye Ze asked cautiously.

"To be honest, the song you wrote is quite complete, but if it is the first single, all the songs here will not work!" Feng Chu said very directly, "It's not the feeling I want."

Ye Ze felt like a bolt from the blue: "Not all of them?!" He can guarantee that he wrote all these songs carefully, and none of them was handed in with the mentality of making up for it.

Seeing Ye Ze's cracked expression, Feng Chu smiled and said, "Don't be sad, I haven't finished yet."

Ye Ze's little heart couldn't take it anymore, he said weakly: "What's wrong with the director? I'll try to change it again."

Feng Chu took out the above sheet music and showed it to Ye Ze: "I read from your information that you have attended a conservatory of music for a year, but your arrangement technique is not like that, and there are quite a lot of people who use string instruments to arrange arrangements. , wind music is relatively less, because it is a popular piece of music after all, and you have used a lot of wind music in seven or eight songs, is it self-taught?"

Ye Ze couldn't say that he had studied abroad, so he could only nod his head and say, "Well, I'm very interested in classical music." When he wrote songs for Lu Nan before, he just followed the popular arrangement model of pop music. Because Lu Nan's songs are all love songs, now Feng Chu asked him to write a few songs in any style, and he just played them casually.

"Very good, the reason why I said that these songs of yours are not good is not because they are not good, but they are not suitable for the first single. I want you to write a new one for the first single, according to my requirements Tailor-made." Feng Chu took off his glasses and wiped them with a glasses cloth, "It's best to finish it in about a month, and the release date is February next year, plus the promotion period of the previous month, so it must be completed before the end of December .”

Ye Ze didn't quite understand: "What kind of song does the director want me to write?"

Feng Chu put on his glasses again and said, "I want a piece that combines classical and pop music. The accompaniment is all recorded with a symphony orchestra, and the accompaniment is also added, because I want a layered sense of multiple voices."

Ye Ze frowned when he heard this: "But director, the market for classical music is very narrow, I use symphony all the time? How can it be popular music?" Hearing Feng Chu say so much, Ye Ze also knew that Feng Chu was not half-baked. People who don't understand music are very professional on the contrary, how can they come up with such a muddled idea?

"That depends on your ability. The arrangement uses classical music, and it must be atmospheric, but the melody must be popular, the kind that catches the ear as soon as you hear it."

There is nothing wrong with Ye Ze. All the songs he writes have catchy melodies. For popular music, catchy melodies are one of the prerequisites for being popular. use.

Just as Ye Ze wanted to nod, Feng Chu continued: "This is one, and there is another point."

"What else?" Ye Ze felt a lot of pressure, his boss was really difficult to deal with, and his requirements were too high.

"I've watched a few of your live videos. Your singing skills are quite good. This cannot be wasted. So the second requirement is that your song must be difficult! It must be to the level that most people can't sing in KTV .”

"Why?" Ye Ze could still understand the arrangement request, but he couldn't understand it. "Wouldn't the popularity of singing be very low?" It's classical music, and it's a difficult singing method, so it's not like he wants to leave Great artist route, as for?

"Because it's your first song in my hands, I have to let everyone see that you are different. You have to show everyone what you are best at, so that everyone can know at a glance that you are quite talented. Talented! You are amazing!" Feng Chu analyzed, "Because the top male singer-songwriter is now Lu Nan, you have to show a better side than him, do you remember what you said before? You Say you're going to pass him. Then do what I say, it's just the first song, it has to stand out, I'm not going to ask you to keep going that route."

As soon as Feng Chu mentioned Lu Nan, Ye Ze became overwhelmed. Yes, his goal is to surpass Lu Nan. Feng Chu is the most professional in making stars, so he must be right.

So Ye Ze nodded seriously: "Don't worry, director, I will write well, and I will definitely write a work that satisfies you!"

"However, I want to remind you that this song is not only for the recording studio, you have to make sure that you can sing it live, so the difficulty should not exceed your own voice's capacity, you know?" Feng Chu didn't want Ye Ze to write A song that he can't control himself, otherwise it would be ridiculous.

At this time, Xiao Zhu just came in with a drink, Feng Chu frowned and said, "I told you to make coffee for so long, did you go to the secretary's room to chat again?"

"It's really wronged, how dare I!" Xiao Zhu shouted straight, "I met Luo Yu outside."

"What happened to Luo Yu?" Feng Chu asked strangely, "I didn't ask him out."

"Dangdangdangdang! He brought good news!" Xiao Zhu said, "He accepted an advertisement for Ye Ze!"

"Me?" Ye Ze was a little surprised, he just joined the company, he has never released a single, and the company's official website has not even posted his news, so why did someone accept an advertisement for him?

"Oh, you don't know yet, Luo Yu will be your manager from now on. He has managed many big names before, and now he only concentrates on bringing you one!" Xiao Zhu winked at Ye Ze, "He has a wide network, The advertisement this time was originally for another big name in the company, but now that big name is no longer in his hands, he gave you the resources."

Ye Ze felt a feeling of being drawn to hatred by innocence rushing towards his face...

"What advertisement?" Feng Chu asked.

"It's the tissue paper of Lufeng, it's very suitable for Ye Ze, right?" Xiao Zhu said, "I told Luo Yu before that you have to be cautious when accepting commercial endorsements for Ye Ze. Don't worry about my work!" He also patted his chest to show that he was very reliable.

Ye Ze was very grateful, he didn't expect the company to value him so much, his first single had not been finalized to receive this kind of treatment, it was really unthinkable in the previous company.

Feng Chu was also very satisfied with Xiao Zhu and Luo Yu's performance. He rarely praised Xiao Zhu: "When I finish talking with Ye Ze, let Luo Yu come in. I have something to discuss with him."

Xiao Zhu nodded.

"By the way, ask someone to vacate recording studio No. [-] and use it exclusively for Ye Ze in the future." Feng Chu ordered.

"Huh?!" Xiao Zhu's eyes widened. "There are a lot of people lining up for recording studio No. [-]. It's no problem for Ye Ze to join the team, let him use it exclusively?"

"Tsk! I said let him use it for his own use. How could you have so many opinions!" Feng Chu has a lot of opinions on Xiao Zhu's attitude, and this guy always argues with him!

"But you have to give a reason, right?" Xiao Zhu groaned inwardly, since you don't have to drive people away yourself, isn't it me who makes things difficult in the end?

Feng Chu said impatiently: "Studio No. [-] is the largest, and Ye Ze needs a symphony orchestra to record. Originally, this studio was not for their ordinary singers. What do they want such a big space for? It's just that there are too many people. Let them use it for the time being, and now it’s all back. They can use sizes one to five, as long as there are more people, it’s fine, anyway, they’re just singing, any size will do.”

Ye Ze sat on the sidelines silently, he felt that he was invisibly drawn to hatred again, this sourness, this feeling, obviously the boss sitting next to him couldn't empathize...

Xiao Zhu was kicked out to 'clean up' the recording studio, Feng Chu continued to ask Ye Ze: "What instruments do you have at home now?"

"Well... I am composing music on a computer now, and I only have an electronic piano at home." Ye Ze was a little embarrassed, because his current composing equipment is really too little.

"Well, then, you can move to the company for a while to live. In the future, composing can be performed in the recording studio. The No. [-] recording studio is very large and can accommodate the entire symphony orchestra. I can get you any instruments and equipment you want." Feng Chu suggested.

Ye Ze thought it was pretty good. He had been using the computer for several months. Using an actual musical instrument would indeed inspire more inspiration, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and pack my things."
