Chapter 3 Military Order
"When the main melody of a song is relatively long, you can break it down into several short paragraphs, which are the phrases we often say. Each phrase will be played slightly differently, such as this paragraph..."
The next morning.
Department of Composition Professional Course.
Lin Yuan listened to the teacher's explanation while taking class notes in the notebook.
Although the original owner moved from the vocal music department to the composition department, and his talent for composition is not high, the fields related to music are all within the original owner's range of interest.
And Lin Yuan is also as interested in music as the original owner.
He didn't want him to come up with a bunch of songs in the future, but he didn't even think he was proficient in the staff.
It’s just that Lin Yuan didn’t expect that if he took professional courses seriously, there would be unexpected gains--
Suddenly a reminder sounded in his ear: "Ding Dong, it is detected that the host is learning composition knowledge, triggering a novice task."
Immediately after.
In front of Lin Yuan's eyes, a few lines of gleaming blue font appeared:
[Task name: Student’s task is to learn]
[Task content: In the next examination arranged by the college professional courses, the total score will enter the top 25 of the class]
[Task Reward: Obtain a bronze treasure chest]
This novice mission was abrupt, but Lin Yuan was not too surprised.
Is the system that does not release tasks still the system?
Then he considered the difficulty of this task:
The Composition Department of Qinzhou Conservatory of Music has a total of ten classes, each with about fifty students, while Lin Yuan’s class is exactly fifty.
But this has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.
Because he doesn't need to compare with students in other classes.
The novice task only requires Lin Yuan to be in the top 25 of the class in the next exam.
This is not a big problem for Lin Yuan.
Because Lin Yuan usually ranks around 30 in the class for professional courses, he should be able to enter the top 25 in the class with a little hard work.
"What happens if the mission fails?"
Lin Yuan asked the system curiously: "Will it be shocked by the system? Or will it be obliterated by the system? Wait!"
Lin Yuan's face changed slightly: "Should you be deducting money? No, no, no, no?"
[The first rule of the system: never hurt the host]
[Another friendly reminder: Electric shocks, obliteration, everything is more scary than deductions, please distinguish the priority from the host]
"Just don't deduct money."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately he realized that even if the system wanted to deduct money, he had no money to deduct money from the system...
This discovery made him somewhat distracted.
...
after class.
Lin Yuan did not go back to the dormitory, but found a quiet place, dig out a number from the phone and dialed it. The note of the number is:
"Broker Zhao Yu".
The phone rang twice and it was connected.
On the other end of the phone, there was a tired woman's voice: "Lin Yuan? Is there anything wrong with you?"
Lin Yuan said: "I have a song I want to post."
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became a little uplifting: "Want to sing? Your voice has recovered? You can sing again?"
"No."
Lin Yuan said: "I have now switched from the vocal music department to the composition department. Recently, I have a song in hand. I want to see if the company can help find a singer to sing and release it?"
"That's it."
Zhao Jue was a little disappointed, and his voice became low again: "You also want to participate in the November rookie season, right?"
"Yes."
"I have to remind you that you are a singer signed by Starman Entertainment, not a songwriter signed by the company. There is a song and music department dedicated to the singer in the company, and most of the singers also have their own songwriters..." Zhao Jue The rejection was very tact.
Lin Yuan did not give up: "Then can I transfer to the songwriting department now?"
He really needs the company's distribution channels.
Without the resources provided by the company, even a very good song is easy to fall into the sea. The newcomers who have emerged in the new season in the past are all supported by the resources of entertainment companies.
"No!"
Zhao Jue refused.
The air was quiet for about ten seconds, and Zhao Jue suddenly sighed and said helplessly: "Forget it, you can encrypt the song with the company's internal channels and send it to me. If the quality is good, I will find someone to help you send it. Of course If the quality is not good, we will take it as it has never happened."
"Thank you."
Lin Yuan thanked him seriously.
Zhao Jue was the person who signed Lin Yuan at the time. She once had high hopes for Lin Yuan, but it was a pity that Lin Yuan’s voice had an accident and lost its value.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Jue is still willing to help Lin Yuan, which is already considered a great sentiment.
"That's it, hang up."
Zhao Jue cut off the phone a little irritably.
...
Zhao Jue's irritability was not directed at Lin Yuan, but it originated from Lin Yuan.
Also because next month is the newcomer season in the music industry, Zhao Jue has too much to be busy.
There are still a few newly signed newcomers under his hand who want to take advantage of the annual newcomer season to try to rush up.
Originally, Lin Yuan should also be one of these newcomers.
Before Zhao Jue even wanted to invite several of the company's biggest songwriters to make a few songs to help Lin Yuan tailor a few songs, so that Lin Yuan was a blockbuster in rookie season, because Lin Yuan's voice talent is really amazing.
It turned out to be unsatisfactory.
"The singer's path is not accessible, so I want to switch to the path of songwriting?"
Zhao Jue smiled bitterly and shook his head. If the creation is so simple, why don't some heavenly queen singers write songs by themselves, but also ask professional songwriters to write songs?
Did they not want to?
It's not because they can't write good songs that listeners love.
In this era, the status of a song's composition teacher is much higher than that of a singer, especially in the current pragmatic industry ecology.
The composer is the big dad!
Because a company, if you have a great composer, it can feed a bunch of singers.
In fact, in recent years, listeners have begun to pay more and more attention to the name of the composer.
Obviously, the public is beginning to realize that composing is the soul of a song, and singing is the second!
Other parts, such as lyrics, arrangement, etc., are also very important, but the core thing is definitely more important than singing—
Good tunes, any musical instruments are good!
Whether you want to play the guitar, the piano, or the bass oboe, if you really want to play, Suona can borrow songs and play the flowers.
"This kid is also a poor man."
Recalling some past events, Zhao Jue was a little embarrassed.
When Lin Yuan was hospitalized, Zhao Jue, as the agent who signed Lin Yuan, actually visited him, but she finally stopped at the door of the ward.
Because she was separated from the room door and heard hoarse and whimpering crying from the ward, the sound was like an injured puppy...
Everyone has compassion.
This is why Zhao Jue is willing to help Lin Yuan.
Not to mention success or not, at least give the child a chance so that the child knows that many things in this world cannot be done for granted.
"However, you hurt me miserably."
Zhao Jue sighed, sadness climbed onto her face, this is the root of her irritability——
The annual newcomer season is a time when major companies push newcomers.
During this period of time, major companies can be said to have fought fiercely.
Even if you look at eight continents, Astral Entertainment is a company with a reputation.
In Qinzhou, Astral Entertainment's overall strength can even rank in the top three!
But Astral Entertainment has been sluggish in the rookie season for three consecutive years.
In the past three years, the company's best performance was the launch of two newcomers who squeezed into the top ten the year before last, and they were all nine and tenth hanging on the tail of the list...
Compared with companies of the same level, it is a bit embarrassing.
Among them, the most irritating thing is that the company's rival, Shahai Culture, occupied four places in the top ten rankings of the newcomer season last year.
Among the four seats, the second and third with high gold content are also included.
As a result, the senior executives of Astral could not raise their heads collectively. After all, the several major entertainment companies in Qinzhou were not dealing with each other, so the senior executives naturally put pressure on the company's chief agent, Zhao Jue.
Zhao Jue was forced to be helpless, and issued a military order in front of all the senior officials:
This year's rookie season will have a top three!
If she can't do it, she will ask her to be demoted.
And the reason why Zhao Jue dared to set up a military order was not only because of the high-level pressure, but also because Zhao Jue had just signed the young Lin Yuan, whose voice shocked her at the time, and he was full of ambition and was preparing to do a big fight.
She felt that Lin Yuan could help herself complete this task.
But now Lin Yuan's voice is dead, but the military order is not.
As long as the high-level results, it will not care what happens among you.
Therefore, Zhao Jue has recently been frantically looking for someone who can replace Lin Yuan and help him complete the military order. For this reason, he has already reported nine new recruits.
But Zhao Jue is also very clear in his heart.
For the nine newcomers she has reported to, there is still hope to hit the top 20, and it depends on luck to hit the top 10.
Want to hit the top five or even the top three?
Let's wash and sleep, you have everything in your dreams.
The company's resources can allocate ten places, and now only one place is left, but Zhao Jue still hasn't found someone who can replace Lin Yuan.
She is already in a state of semi-giving up.
That's why she finally agreed to Lin Yuan.
Anyway, it's only the last place. If the quality of the songs written by Lin Yuan is barely up to the standard, why not satisfy the poor child?
Just then.
Her cell phone rang.
This is the alert tone of the mailbox, encrypted and sent through the company's internal channels, and the sender is Lin Yuan.
Open the mailbox.
After Zhao Jue decrypted it, he saw the audio from Lin Yuan with the title: "Born as Summer Flowers".
Like summer flowers?
Zhao Jue didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but he could have some faint associations in the image.
She puts on her headphones and clicks to play.
Wandering in the music, I quickly finished listening to a song.
Zhao Jue's expression was a little surprised and a little surprised.
Different from those rough demos, the songs sent by Lin Yuan are very complete. In addition to the melody is already very complete, even the arrangement part has been done——
This is not something that can be done in the short term.
The singing part is pure humming, a sound synthesized by a machine.
It's just that the sound is not so stiff compared to the general machine synthesis sound, and it seems quite natural.
However, Zhao Jue can judge from experience that if this unfeeling hum is replaced by a human voice, it should be very interesting.
"interesting."
Zhao Jue is a broker.
She may have a little knowledge of composition, but she has been in the industry for many years and her basic judgment is not bad.
Her eyes faintly gleamed, and she thought "Born Like Summer Flowers" might be a very good song, because she was already a little attracted, even if the song currently only hums with melody and synthetic sound.
"This guy really has a talent for composing?"
Raising his eyebrows, Zhao Jue made three consecutive phone calls.
The first phone call to the review department: "I have a song here, you review it, expedited, you must give me the result at night."
This is a necessary level.
The technical review is to prevent Lin Yuan’s "Born as Summer Flower" from being too similar in melody to other songs on the market, causing plagiarism. If there is a problem, it will be a serious blow to the company’s reputation.
The second call was made to his agent.
As the chief, Zhao Jue’s voice is resolute and resolute: “Recording tonight, the last place in the new season, give me a reliable, don’t make it too difficult to train a sound engineer.”
A newcomer who is not top-notch voice is not bad for Zhao Jue.
It's nothing more than the company's sound technicians working overtime.
The third call was to Lin Yuan. Her voice was the softest, far less powerful than the first two calls: "When will get out of class end today? I'll pick you up from your school and let's record the song."
"it is good."
Lin Yuan answered.
This tone seems...not unexpected?
