Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Complete Chapter 14 "The Final Countdown"
Of course, for the few of them now, that is to say.

On Monday, Yu Dongqing went to work on time and began to work day after day.

The content of the music editor is very complicated, not only the arrangement and sound effect synthesis, etc., but also some audio format conversion, responsible for voice recording, editing, etc.

Another very important job is to review songs.

One of the top domestic music companies like Jinye Records receives a large number of songs written by music lovers and even professional musicians and songs sung by singers every day.

For the works of well-known musicians and singers, the company has a special team to review them, and if they pass the preliminary review, they will enter the next step.

The works of a large number of unknown music lovers are reviewed by the company's ordinary music editors. Perhaps their level is not as good as that of the dedicated team, but they have accumulated good experience in music styles, genres, and popular music elements in the market.

After their cross-preliminary review, if the review is passed, they can enter the field of vision of the dedicated team.

This is what Yu Dongqing did today. He, Luo Yun, and Li Wei cross-reviewed the submitted works. If two of the three pass the initial review, they can enter the next step and hand it over to the professional team.

Wearing earphones and drinking Longjing tea, Yu Dongqing casually clicked on the audio files and listened carefully.

It's not a very pleasant job.

Song quality is terrible.

With the emergence of a large number of song creation software, the threshold for creating an original song has been significantly lowered, and anyone with some knowledge of music theory can create a song through software.

But in Yu Dongqing's eyes, this kind of software that uses Jammer, Band In A Box and other software to automatically generate melody, texture, etc. according to requirements such as style, speed, and mode, and rely on algorithms to automatically create and complete songs by computers can be called Is it original?

Not to mention that the melody is relatively blunt and rigid, and strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as the original work of the user himself, but should be attributed to the programmers and musicians behind the software!

And most of the songs in this space-time market are obtained in this way.

It's too rubbish, and some songs just don't want to listen to it after half listening.

Yu Dongqing resisted the feeling of being "qiangjian" in her ears. After listening to ten songs, she couldn't take it anymore. She took off her earphones and leaned on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh. When she looked up, she found that Luo Yun was not in the front row of the workshop.

Where did you go?

There are still many songs waiting for the preliminary review.

Yu Dongqing frowned slightly, and asked Li Wei in the next workshop in a low voice: "Where's Luo Yun?"

"Sister Yun was called away by the old witch. I don't know why she hasn't come back for so long." Li Wei replied.

Yu Dongqing groaned and asked again: "Have you found any songs that can catch your ears?"

"Not yet, they are all rubbish."

"Oh, go on."

"Ah."

After Yu Dongqing had some tea, he put on his earphones and listened to it. Finally, there was a song that lifted his spirits, and it also had a rock flavor.

The song is called "The Age of Justice"

The lyrics are very burning:

The melody of the song is average, leaning towards Pop rock.

It's just that the voice is pretty good.

The typical tearing singing style is full of power and explosiveness, the treble is long-lasting, and the mixing effect is excellent, very similar to Wang Feng in the original time and space.

Yu Dongqing immediately became interested. Looking at the singer's profile, his name is Tang Guang. He is a music lover. He liked rock and roll since he was a child. This time, besides submitting his own original songs to Jinye Records, he also wants to become a singer under the label.

This difficulty is a bit big.

If you want to become a singer under Jinye Records, in addition to your own singing skills, the singer's appearance is also very important. After all, this is an era of looking at appearances.

Moreover, the rock style like Tang Guang belongs to the niche both in Jinye Records and in the mainstream music market.

But no matter what, this Tang Guang, including this song "The Era of Justice" was a song that Yu Dongqing was quite satisfied with this morning, and soon he sent it to Li Wei and Luo Yun for cross-examination.

However, according to usual practice, neither of the other two would object to the songs that Yu Dongqing reviewed, and they would go into the next process smoothly.

"Look at his good fortune." Yu Dongqing picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely.

After a busy morning, it was finally time for a lunch break. The atmosphere in the office became more relaxed. Seeing the heat outside, many colleagues ordered takeaway.

Yu Dongqing doesn't have the habit of ordering take-out. He likes to go out to eat in restaurants, so he can get some fresh air. As soon as he left the office today and walked to the stairs, he saw Luo Yun walking down the stairs in an OL dress. Seeing him, he hurriedly called live.

"Brother Yu, just now Wu Lan asked me to go to her office, guess what happened?" Luo Yun said in a low voice.

Seeing Luo Yun's weird smile, Yu Dongqing's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be for you to finish writing the song "The Final Countdown"?"

"Ha! Brother Yu, you are so smart! That's why Wu Lan asked me."

"You agreed?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"How can I do that? Let's go. Eat together and chat while eating."

The two went downstairs together, ordered two dishes and a soup at the Li Yuan Restaurant, and she told what happened just now.

It turned out that Wu Lan asked her to tell her that the song "The Final Countdown" is quite good. It's a pity to make a soundtrack for a movie with only one segment. I should try to write it completely, and then find someone to write the lyrics and arrange the music, and give it to our company's singers to sing. fire. "

"Brother Yu, this is all up to you. It's still the old rule, the copyright share belongs to you." Luo Yun said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll try." Yu Dongqing agreed after pondering.

"Holly, brother Yu, if there is anything I need to help you, just tell me."

"Well, I won't listen to the rest of the songs for the next two days, you and Li Wei can check it out." Yu Dongqing replied.

Stop messing with your ears.

"Oh, you are the uncle now, do you want me to beat your legs and sing a song?" Luo Yun's eyes were full of melody.

"Sing eighteen touches." Yu Dongqing blurted out.

"What? What is Shibamo?" Luo Yun asked curiously.

Fortunately, there is no Wei Xiaobao or Shibamo in this time and space.

However, I heard that Shibamo has always existed, and it is a minor tune handed down by the Hakka people. However, there is also Shibamo in Hokkien, which is sung in a different way, but the content is very similar.

So Yu Dongqing quickly replied: "No,... nothing to say casually."

"Hmph, you men"

Although Luo Yun has never heard of this song, the title of the song can't help but make people think about it.
