Chapter 13 Return to Zero

A good group, almost taken cold by Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing——

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

More than within the group.

Even in the department, there are many people who peek at Lin Yuan from time to time, their eyes are a little weird.

Obviously these people are also members of the star composer group, and they have seen Lin Yuan's speech in the group.

"You have offended many people invisibly."

Wu Yong couldn't help but kindly reminded Lin Yuan.

Although Lin Yuan's way of speaking in the group seemed a bit wrong to him, he did not think Lin Yuan was deliberately sensationalizing when he witnessed the seriousness of the other party's typing.

"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 can only helplessly spread his hands: "I can only say, because you are not the same as others."

"Oh."

Lin Yuan didn't ask any more questions this time, even though he still couldn't understand why he was different from others and he would offend others.

"It's not a big deal, at least we are in the composition department on our 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: "Besides, everyone is engaged in art, and there is not so much fun. You will not stumbling on someone just because you can’t get used to someone. You work hard and you are still growing up. Second, you can write a song like "Life as a Summer Flower", which shows that your potential is very high! When you write a good song in the future, everyone will understand you. In Blue Star, in any industry, it is all about achievements. "

"it is good."

Lin Yuan nodded.

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

However, although he comforted Lin Yuan, he was also very clear in his heart that a song of the level "Born as Summer Flower" could not be easily written.

Everyone has a flash of inspiration.

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

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

If that is the case, then the top spot on the cutting-edge chart is the highest moment of Lin Yuan's composing career.

Just then.

Lao Zhou suddenly walked in from outside the door, his face was a little ugly, and his voice was angrily said: "All of you, immediately put down what you are holding and enter the conference room for a meeting!"

After speaking, Lao Zhou rushed into the meeting room next door, and the sound of slamming the door was a little loud.

"what's the situation?"

"Who upset the boss?"

"It shouldn't 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 not appropriate, he didn't get his share, right? He is still a sophomore in school, and his shortcomings and sophistication are normal."

"That's true."

"Don't think about it, go in for 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 meeting room.

Lin Yuan also followed up in the meeting room.

However, some people worried that Lao Zhou's anger was directed at Lin Yuan's speech in the group. In order to avoid harming the pond fish, everyone was unwilling to sit around Lin Yuan.

Wu Yong hesitated, and sat on the left side of Lin Yuan.

Immediately afterwards, a man with long hair sat on the right side of Lin Yuan and took the initiative to reach out to Lin Yuan: "My name is Zheng Han, a graduate of the 20th year of the Composition Department of Qinzhou Art Academy."

"Hello, senior."

Lin Yuan shook hands with each other politely. Although he didn't talk much, he could still detect some details.

"Everyone is here, right?"

Lao Zhou said in a deep voice: "I came to you to say something, the soundtrack of "Dancing Fish and Dragon" has been returned."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

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

"Talk about it, what should I do?"

Lao Zhou's eyes scanned the audience sharply: "This is your list on the tenth floor. Don't force me to give the list to other floors."

No one dared to face Lao Zhou's eyes.

But when Lao Zhou asked, everyone couldn't pretend to be dead. They could only avoid Lao Zhou's gaze and express their opinions in a rush:

"Boss, are the songs in "Fish and Dragon Dance" too demanding? They are not a top investment, just a medium investment animation film."

"This is the fourteenth time they have returned our work, right?"

"It's so difficult, do you want our father Qu on the tenth floor to go out in person?"

"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 home to do it. Shahai, gorgeous silver light, so many capable people in the Qinzhou music circle."

"How could the company agree? If Shahai or Gorgeous Silver Light is made, wouldn't it appear that we are incompetent? 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 appointed by Lao Zhou to bring Lin Yuan, so he explained: "That's right. There is a large-scale animation film called "Dance of Fish and Dragon" in Qizhou. The later stage has been almost done, and there is still a core soundtrack. , So they entrusted us to make the soundtrack to Starlight, and this task finally fell on our tenth floor, but we had already made 14 songs for them on the tenth floor, and they were all returned!"

"The key is..."

Zheng Han on the right took the stubborn words: "These fourteen songs that were returned were all made by our ace on the tenth floor. Although these people are not at the level of Qu Da, their quality is definitely not low. Many big-name singers usually look for these ace composers to collaborate."

Lin Yuan understood.

However, Lin Yuan chose to remain silent, and he didn’t think he would be able to do it if so many people on the tenth floor couldn’t handle it.

He has songs in his hands.

However, for this kind of designated soundtrack project, the artistic conception of the song must match the atmosphere of the movie. If someone makes a lingering love movie, you end up handing someone a rap or rock, then your song Good and useless.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Lao Zhou rubbed his temples with a headache: "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 you Party A's request first, maybe someone There is inspiration. If it still doesn't work, according to the company's rules, this list can only be given to other floors."

Inspiration is a very mysterious thing.

It’s not that Qu Da’s music is necessarily the best.

Sometimes Qu's dad can’t handle tasks. A composer who is not as sturdy as Qu's may suddenly have inspiration and make a song that makes Party A very satisfied——

This kind of thing happens occasionally in the composition circle.

It's as if Lin Yuan could write "Life as a Summer Flower" in his sophomore year.

On the one hand, he has a talent for composing. On the other hand, it is very likely that Lin Yuan has a good inspiration and appropriately grasped the inspiration, so he wrote this song.

This is why Wu Yong believes that Lin Yuan may not be able to write songs of this level in the future.

Because inspiration is a chance event!

Lao Zhou is using the strategy of casting a wide net here. There is really no other way. The tenth floor has almost all his trump cards. He can't really go find Qu Dao.

It's not impossible.

But, you have to add money!

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

quickly.

Everyone received a piece of paper with the soundtrack requirements of "Fish and Dragon Dance" printed on it.

Lin Yuan also received it.

Because it involves plot secrets, "Fish and Dragon Dance" only summarizes the story in general:

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 danger, and the fish had already crossed the dragon gate and became a powerful one. Bailong, and reunited with the girl...

There are only three requirements for the soundtrack.

Want ethereal, artistic conception, and beauty.

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

"Can Party A's requirements be more general? Ethereal, artistic conception, beauty, this is too broad?"

"I didn't catch anything anyway."

"And there is too little time, just one month, one month, at the speed of my composition, I definitely can't keep up."

"Fantasy stories, the music style should be a little more unreasonable?"

"It's a fish again, it's a dragon's. It's like flying in the sky. The whole point of the oboe is very suitable."

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

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

"These are not the key points! The key point is that we have all listened to the songs that were returned earlier! I have already felt it! But Qizhou still returned, which shows that the feeling they want, we have not reached the perfect standard. ."

"..."

For the composer, etherealness is easy, artistic conception is easy, and beauty is easy.

It is not difficult to grasp these three characteristics.

But it's not easy to make the music so good that it touches people's hearts.

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

Everyone in this room can probably write very burning and very dry songs, but this is just a creative direction. For a thousand very burning and very dry songs, there may only be one or two that can really make people listen to it.

Lin Yuan's heart moved.

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

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

But how about his other song "Big Fish"?

The style of this song seems a bit like this.

Is the system expected?

After deliberation, Lin Yuan suddenly heard Wu Yong complaining: "Party A on Qizhou is too difficult to deal with! With a mere five million orders, do you want our father Qu on the tenth floor to take the shot himself? Don’t ask for that high price for Qudi.”

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

Wu Yong was taken aback: "If you can't get the price that impresses Qu Da, why don't you ask so much?"

"last sentence!"

"Should we let our father Qu take the shot?"

"One more sentence!"

"A mere five million bills..."

With this 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 calculator's trumpet sounded quite loud, and immediately interrupted the wailing of everyone in the conference room. Everyone looked at Lin Yuan at the same time, including the supervisor Lao Zhou.

Lin Yuan did not notice the gaze around him.

His fingers pressed quickly, accompanied by the sound of the calculator trumpet, resounding through the audience:

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

The scene was silent.

Only the calculator reports the number.

Of course everyone knows what Lin Yuan is up to.

But because of knowing it, in the silence, everyone's eyes are very strange.

Divided into more than 660,000?

When the count was over, Lin Yuan happily closed the calculator, looked up at the supervisor, Lao Zhou, and said every word:

"I'll take this order."
