Aesthetics of Violence [Entertainment]

Afterwards, Hu Zhinan and Shen Yan went up to the third floor to discuss some precautions and living conditions alone. Ge Qiao rubbed the corners of his mouth stiff from laughing just now, let out a breath, and fell down on the sofa too lazy to move.There is also Zhu Zan and Hu Shiwei talking at the kitchen bar on the first floor. After all, when old friends meet, they can be heard laughing and giggling from time to time.

Hu Zhinan got down in the elevator very quickly, looked around the interior structure of the elevator curiously, accidentally met Ge Qiao's eyes, and then closed his eyes with a smile, showing a little embarrassment, but it was very cute.

In this way, Hu Zhinan moved in smoothly. The east room on the first floor happened to be Ge Qiao's bedroom upstairs.

Say something later.

Later, Hu Zhinan seemed to have a special liking for this elevator, and he sat on it and ran up and down, saying that he could not find academic inspiration and went to the rooftop to blow some air.

Ge Qiao reasonably suspected that the relationship between him and Shen Yan was cultivated by this elevator from the beginning.

After that, things were handled very quickly. Although Shen Yan was a Buddhist, he did things unambiguously. Hu Zhinan was also impatient. He signed the contract on the spot when he was optimistic about the house on Saturday afternoon. The suitcase came, and this time Hu Shiwei followed again. The two of them are like Siamese twins, why are they inseparable?

"Aren't you worried about him?" Hu Shiwei explained, "As soon as he was a worm, he only liked to stay in a place like school, and he hadn't been poisoned by society. He was as pure as a little white flower. In life, he is regarded as his senior, so he has to take care of things for him."

Isn't it said that a university is a small society?How can a small society be as pure as a little white flower after being in a small society for so long?Ge Qiao couldn't help muttering in his heart, but didn't dare to say it: "Is it convenient to ask? What kind of work are you doing?"

"Performance planning," Hu Shiwei's eyes suddenly lit up when he mentioned his career, and Ge Qiao saw it. It seems that this little girl really likes her career. "The main thing is to plan overseas singers' performances or music in China." Festival. I was studying for a master’s degree in media abroad, and after graduation, I came back and joined a performance company, and found that I still like to study things on the stage..."

"Study the media?" Ge Qiao became interested. At first, he just thought that Hu Shiwei looked very clever, but he didn't expect to learn the same thing as himself. "Don't you like it?"

Hu Shiwei lowered his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "It's not that I don't like it, it's that it's not suitable."

Ge Qiao didn't think of this answer, and he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"Maybe it's because I'm a selfish person," Hu Shiwei smiled at him, "I can't convince myself that facing those virtual data, I can't tell whether they are reality or illusion, and they make me feel uneasy. I even It is more meaningful to me to be willing to spend time to complete a work that can be seen and touched.”

Ge Qiao was taken aback.

Hu Shiwei spoke frankly. If it wasn't for the relaxed and cheerful tone, Ge Qiao would have suspected that she was satirizing the industry in disguise.She probably doesn't know how to hide herself. There is a primitive innocence and enthusiasm flowing in this girl. It is well preserved, and she has not yet experienced the turmoil and noise of the world.

Ge Qiao also met this kind of girl when she was in college. She dared to do things for her friends. She was innocent and didn't know how to restrain herself. But that was the beginning of another story.

on Monday.

Hu Zhinan and Shen Yan went to school together. Zhu Zantan continued to humbly seek advice from overseas variety shows at home and thought about a program plan by the way. Ge Qiao reminded him last time that it was time to come up with a new program plan.Ge Qiao stayed in the company as usual.

Ge Qiao hasn't been too busy recently, except for some unexpected incidents last week that took him a little bit of attention, he is also living a leisurely life.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the "Son of the Empire", who is proud of the eleventh floor, made a sudden idea and planned to conduct a private visit in a micro-service to personally explore the sufferings of the people.

When crossing the corridor passage on the seventh floor, the colleagues passing by greeted Ge Qiao while calling "Big Qiao Brother". In fact, many of them were older than Ge Qiao, or even a lot older, but everyone was willing. Calling him "Big Qiao Brother", this title has a long history, it was originally called by Ge Qiao's close colleagues for fun, but then I don't know what happened, probably because Ge Qiao's vigorous and resolute gangster style spread throughout the company, everyone just They all called it that together.Anyway, no matter whether he was convinced in his heart or not, he still didn't dare to show Ge Qiao any shame on his face.As for whether calling out is an honorific title or a mockery, it is beyond the scope of Ge Qiao's concern.

The seventh floor is Ge Qiao’s most frequent place besides the media department on the tenth floor. There are no bright halls and office rooms composed of small partitions. They are all recording studios with walls made of special materials for tight sound insulation. .In order to protect these precious confined spaces, the corridors are designed casually, and walking feels like turning [-] turns, like a maze.

I followed the usual route to find the recording studio. The door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap. From inside the door, there was a burst of polished music clips from time to time, and the voices of Yao Li and several men overlapped.

"Okay, this won't work..."

"Pass……"

"Leave this for a while, and ask Xiao Zhao for his opinion later..."

"No, why is this so similar to the rhythm of the song released by Pann last year? There will be controversy..."

"Keep this, it sounds fine, put it in the recorded song..."

"Sister Yao, I don't think so. It's too difficult to get a satisfactory title with this method..."

Yao Jie pondered for a moment, then frowned.She has just won the comeback schedule of the official album of her idol boy group AIX from the company. This is their first official album since their debut, and all relevant personnel attach great importance to it.And now, the A&R[note] team is leading the team, and is busy recruiting demo[note] albums from all over the world. In fact, she didn't expect to find the candidate for the title song she wanted, but when she really saw It is inevitable to be a little disappointed when this method does not work.

She was a little worried. The quality of the demos she asked for was really uneven. Some production teams were too perfunctory. When she heard it, she knew that she just used her mobile phone to listen to the sound and then sent it directly. She couldn't even tell the difference. pitch melody.

With the mood of trying to listen to a few more, the editor sitting in front of the computer clicked on the next audio file.

It was at this time that Ge Qiao stopped at the door, and the melody flowing out of the door first attracted him. The sound of the piano, but only the beat of the drums, the notes were short, light and jumpy, and then a cold jazz improvisation was strung together. Don't stick to the pursuit of smooth chords and follow the established rules, like a child who is having fun.There was some kind of extremely moving emotion hidden in the deliberately stopped rhythm, which made Ge Qiao's heart flutter.

"That's it," Ge Qiao pushed the door open, and all the people in the room who were concentrating on admiring the demo were startled by the sudden intruder, and only recovered after seeing that it was Ge Qiao, Ge Qiao continued. , "It's different from others, it's good."

Yao Yao also felt that there was something going on this time, and his mood immediately improved, and he began to joke with Ge Qiao: "Why is it different from others? What is it like?"

"Just what you heard just now," Ge Qiao glanced at Yao Po, "you're not angry when you hear it? It's obviously teasing you."

"What about this one?"

"Interesting, special, hidden front, very attractive."

"Brother Big Qiao, is this prophesying the fire?"

"Well," Ge Qiao stared at the large computer screen used to edit the soundtrack in the recording studio, wanting to see if he could know who wrote the song, "it's definitely the best song among the demos you got."

"Actually, I also think it's pretty good." Yao Yao nodded in agreement. She was even happier after receiving such affirmative approval from her companions. "That's all for this song. Put it in the selection list. Let's discuss it together when Xiao Zhao comes."

"Who wrote this song?" I couldn't find the author's name for a long time, and even the title of the demo file was simply "demo-001". cold.

"What's your name... ah, it's called Zhong Mingcan," Yao Ji flipped through the papers in his hand, "a boy in 93, only 25 years old, a professional music producer with a pretty good resume, a master's degree from Berkeley, After a pause, I suddenly realized something, "Hey! He is still a top student, with a double major in music therapy and composition! It's amazing."

Until after work, the eerie but bright and joyful piano melody was still lingering in Ge Qiao's ears, and he just returned home with the lingering sound in his head.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Hu Zhinan, who was wearing only a pair of boxer underwear all over his body, floating past in front of him.

This is really a little white flower. She went deep into the wolf's den without knowing it, yet she dared to run around so boldly.

Seeing Ge Qiao, Hu Zhinan smiled without hesitation. The juicy baby fat hung on both sides of his cheeks, slightly puffed up by the smile, making him look very young and pitiful.

Ge Qiao gasped, feeling that in this building, he had the responsibility and necessity to be the guardian of the boy in front of him.

"Hu Zhinan," he wanted to call Xiao Baihua, who was walking towards the kitchen, "Go back to the house and put on your clothes. Shen Yan didn't show you the rules for entering and exiting the apartment? Don't appear disheveled anywhere except your own bedroom... "

The sound of Hu Zhinan's water washing apples came from the kitchen, which probably suppressed Ge Qiao's voice, and Hu Zhinan didn't respond.

"Student Hu Zhinan?"

"...Huh?" The sound of the water stopped, "Brother Ge, did you call me?"

"Ah," Ge Qiao was so frightened by this weird name that he almost lost his mind and paused for a while, "Yes, I called you. I said, you go and put on your clothes first, the apartment Didn't the entry and exit rules say that you can't run back and forth naked..." I was worried that I was talking too much, and I was a little too strong, so I added, "You don't want to wear the jacket, and you can wear the pants."

"That's why?" Hu Zhinan giggled a few times, sounding very happy, and he didn't know how he could be so happy from morning to night, "Everyone is a big man, are you still shy?"

It's obviously because I'm afraid you'll be shy.

Ge Qiao felt that persuading too much seemed deliberate. Since Hu Zhinan still doesn't know the nature of a pack of wolves, Ge Qiao himself doesn't want to be the saboteur. good.Is Ge Qiao an ordinary person?No, he's a sane beast in this apartment.Facing such a sweet kid like Hu Zhinan, he just couldn't use his animal instincts.

"I'm used to walking around like this at home, so I don't want to live on campus. I heard that men and women live together in the doctoral dormitory, which is quite scary..." Hu Zhinan was careless, and really thought that Ge Qiao was reminding him to pay attention to the apartment Etiquette, "Is there really a rule of entry and exit? I didn't see it... Either Brother Ge, if you have time, tell me briefly, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

Hearing this strange address again, Ge Qiao couldn't help correcting him: "Just call me Brother Da Qiao..."

"Okay." Hu Zhinan nodded obediently, and repeated, "Big Joe."

"Just... don't run around naked, remember to lock the door when you enter the bathroom, and remember to knock on the door before entering when you want to find Shen Yan or Zhu Zan, don't wander around in the middle of the night, and go to bed quickly..." The more Ge Qiao talked, the more he got into the drama. So this poor little white flower is in such a dangerous situation?

In the end, his tone was so kind that it was almost not his own: "Boys are outside, you should pay attention to safety."

The author has something to say: [Note] demo: Take an idol group as an example. Generally, before the song is determined, the company will get the demo from the music producer, that is, the audition tape, which is equivalent to a relatively complete song inspiration (sampling ), but it is not a complete music work, it may only complete a section, or there may be no lyrics and only humming. The company chooses the melody suitable for its idol from these auditions, and then finalizes it, and then contacts its music producer and lyricist. Finally finished product.

[Note] A&R: In the music industry, A&R (artistandrepertoire) is a department under the record company responsible for discovering and training singers or artists.In addition, A&R is often responsible for signing contracts with singers, finding suitable composers and record producers for singers, and arranging recording schedules. Part of A&R's mission involves liaising with music publishing companies for new songs and material from composers.

Certain A&R personnel may even change the face of contemporary music, such as senior A&R John H. Hammond (JohnH. Hammond), who discovered many famous singers in the music industry, including Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springston, Aretha Franklin and others.

In fact, A&R is a profession that the author himself is very eager to do...
