Chapter 45 He Doesn't Understand
Although Hao Jie is a top student in the Vocal Music Department of China Arts University, and will be Gu Qingge's senior and a senior in the entertainment industry, he is indeed humble in front of Gu Qingge.
In other words, he had to admit defeat because of the creative talent displayed by Gu Qingge.
The previous popular song "Little Love Song" may not have allowed her to fully prove herself, but now that "Painting" is out, what is there to doubt about her talent?
It’s nonsense to say that these two songs have any depth, artistic value, or style, but the public just likes them!
The fact that they can all make it to the Tik Tok hot song list and become popular short video BGMs shows how much people like them.
As songs, they are even more popular than the creator Gu Qingge.
Maybe everyone feels familiar with their melodies, but they don’t know who sings them.
People who think they have high taste will think that they are cheesy internet celebrity songs.
But I don’t know how many singers in the entertainment industry want a song that is so widely spread and popular.
Some singers who lack ambition can even make a living from just one song. They don’t care about their status or position in the music industry.
As long as bars and other businesses invite them to perform and the appearance fee is 200,000 or 300,000, they will be satisfied.
Internet celebrity singers who become popular through short video platforms are no longer uncommon in this era.
There are always people who mock their musical ability and the vulgarity of their songs, and think that they do not deserve such high appearance fees.
But there are always businesses willing to pay for them, because they know very well that they can attract the public.
With Gu Qingge's current popularity, if she were to take on a commercial performance, it is estimated that some businesses would be willing to pay her an appearance fee of more than 500,000 yuan.
Hao Jie is not as famous as Gu Qingge now, because he really does not have the ability to make a song as popular as her.
In fact, ever since Gu Qingge accepted Hao Jie's commission that day, Hao Jie has never lost contact with Gu Qingge.
Every day he would send a message to greet Gu Qingge, such as "Good morning", "Have you eaten?", "I have a good song to recommend to you" and so on.
People who don’t know would think that Hao Jie is Gu Qingge’s bootlicker, because compared to Hao Jie’s daily greetings, Gu Qingge’s reply frequency is pitifully low.
Gu Qingge would listen to the songs recommended by Hao Jie when he had time. There were still many good songs in this parallel world.
Even though Gu Qingge's level of music appreciation is not high, it is enough for her to think that some songs are good.
Hao Jie actually didn't care that Gu Qingge replied to him infrequently.
The purpose of his greeting Gu Qingge every day was to show his presence and remind Gu Qingge not to forget the song he promised him.
There was no way. Hao Jie didn't know that Gu Qingge was the kind of task-crazy person who would complete any task he accepted.
He was worried that the "talented and willful" Gu Qingge would just act willfully and dump him.
This kind of "verbal agreement" is indeed unreliable in the industry. No matter how talented a music producer is, inspiration cannot come easily.
Then as time goes by, there will naturally be no follow-up.
Hao Jie had previously had a pleasant conversation with another music producer named Fang Peng at a dinner party and had also made a verbal agreement, but the meeting was eventually broken off.
In fact, it was not a case of being stood down, but the song that Fang Peng promised to write for him was snatched away by another third-tier singer who paid a higher price.
Although a second-tier music producer like Fang Peng cannot be compared with those first-tier or truly top-tier music producers, his songs are still in short supply.
In the eyes of newcomers and third-, fourth- and fifth-tier singers, Fang Peng has become someone they must curry favor with, or at least someone they can get.
How could they dream of songs by first-line and top music producers?
Unless your voice really impresses them, but how many lucky people can be like that?
After Hao Jie found out that the song composed by Fang Peng was hijacked by someone else, he didn't even dare to question the other party and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Ultimately, it’s because he’s a new singer with little popularity and fame. So what if he has good singing skills?
So now Hao Jie has participated in the talent show "Super Boy" organized by Mango TV.
Mango TV is quite good at organizing talent shows. Its "Super Girls" once had explosive ratings, and the Super Girls have also developed well in the entertainment industry.
"Super Boy" is still in the audition stage, so Hao Jie is still a little unknown.
However, the auditions were certainly not difficult for Hao Jie. He was even able to pass directly because of his status as a top student in the Vocal Music Department of Huayi.
Artists who graduated from the world's top art university still have a halo in the entertainment industry and can even avoid many unspoken rules.
Gu Qingge really didn’t have any “inspiration” before, but now that he has the golden god-level skill “Apocalypse”, inspiration for music comes to him without any delay.
Seeing Hao Jie's humble attitude in begging for a song, Gu Qingge simply made a voice call to him.
"Hao Jie, I've already got the inspiration for the song I promised you and it's finished. Don't worry, I'll send it to you in the next few days and see if I can satisfy you."
Hao Jie was overjoyed when he heard Gu Qingge say this. He quickly said, "I will definitely be satisfied! Miss Gu, your talent in music creation is unquestionable. You will definitely become a top music producer in the future!"
Gu Qingge thought to herself, "Just a first-tier star? That's too much of an underestimation of my "revelation" skills. When it comes to "creating" music, she is the best of the best."
"Thank you, but I have another request." Gu Qingge replied.
Hao Jie subconsciously sat up straight and said humbly, "Ms. Gu, please speak."
"For now, I don't want too many people to know that I wrote a song for you, because I usually only sing my own songs."
If Hao Jie hadn't activated the commissioned task, Gu Qingge wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
Gu Qingge is actually quite afraid of trouble, she doesn't have that much time to spend on others.
A music producer doesn’t just write a song and call it a day. Instead, he has to work with the singer in the recording studio to produce the entire song. Only a good arrangement can make the song more perfect.
Fortunately, Gu Qingge now has You Ruoyu, who is proficient in all kinds of instruments and good at arranging music, to help her, otherwise she would encounter a lot of trouble.
In addition, Gu Qingge felt that things like "creating" songs should not be done carelessly.
At her age, if she copied some "Little Love Songs" or "Paintings", people would not suspect anything, because it is in line with her age and experience.
But for some songs, she can only copy them through pseudonyms. When her capital and status are sufficient and she no longer cares about other people's doubts, she will not have to fear anything.
When Hao Jie heard Gu Qingge's request, he agreed immediately. He also wished that fewer people knew about Gu Qingge's talent so that he would face less competition.
Hao Jie was extremely grateful to Gu Qingge in his heart, because he had neither fame nor status now, but Gu Qingge was still willing to write songs for him under such circumstances, and even "made an exception". He owed her this favor.
"The song I wrote for you is called 'He Doesn't Understand.'" Gu Qingge said lightly.
