Zhao Muyang thought about it and agreed without even mentioning the payment.
He didn't mention Liang Liang, but we can't not say it. Don't think we're using him for nothing.
"I have to say something about the compensation. Don't think we're using you for free. Your food, lodging, and travel expenses are not our responsibility. When you come back from abroad, the minimum compensation you can get is five thousand yuan. If things go smoothly, it will increase."
Zhao Muyang simply nodded without saying anything.
Anyway, he was a wanderer, and from the moment he nodded, he officially became a member of Haiyun Audio-Visual Company.
Xiao Yu will definitely learn a lot from him.
Xiao Yu's skill level is considered top among drummers in China, but compared to Zhao Muyang, Ma He, and San'er, there is still a gap.
With him around, if Xiao Yu is willing to learn, this gap can be bridged in a short time.
The gold-digging couple couldn't just sit idly in Lianwan, wouldn't Liang Liang, as a capitalist, feel sorry for them?
Of course, we need to find things for them to do.
So, on the fourth day after the music festival ended, in the courtyard of Haiyun Music School, dozens of girls and boys gathered to be tested by the gold rush couple.
Liang Liang was somewhat surprised to see so many people signing up.
The first thing to consider is the appearance.
Whether it's a boy group or a girl group, of course you can't choose ugly people to join; their height and appearance must be acceptable.
After this procedure is completed, they need to see if the dancers have any talent. The gold rush couple has a special method for selecting dancers, and each of them selects thirty people as replacements.
Finally, let's talk about the music.
Those who were tone-deaf were eliminated, as were those with average voices, leaving fifteen men and fifteen women.
After six months of training, four or five of the most outstanding individuals were selected to debut, while the rest either formed new groups or became backup dancers.
During the Spring Festival, Liang Liang planned to debut them, first by having them participate in the Lianwan City Spring Festival Gala, and then by releasing CDs and albums.
I also have to prepare music for them, which means I'll be busy again.
The company should now have a group of professional lyricists and composers; it can't rely solely on itself.
When the scale gets bigger in the future, even if I had three heads and six arms, I would still be exhausted.
After the music festival, all members of the Yinna River band, except for Ha La Zi, came.
From now on, they will officially begin rehearsing for their performance in Germany.
Choosing the program for the performance in Germany was also a real headache.
When you go abroad, you represent the national image, so the music you perform naturally needs to have a national flavor, and the selection of music becomes very particular.
The first song Liang Liang chose surprised many people.
"Gongs and Drums!"
This song was not sung by the Blue Shark Band; it was originally performed by the Yinna River Band and later included in their album "Harvest".
The second song was fairly standard, "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty," but the third song was incomprehensible, "Who Will Be the Hero?"
What song is this?
"The Red Flag Fluttering" is understandable, and "I Love You, Motherland" can also be explained.
"Back to Lhasa" is even more accessible and easy to understand.
But what is "East Wind Breaks"?
The song "Dong Feng Po" was composed by a certain king of music from Green Island. It uses the classical instrument pipa and the melody of ancient poems and lyrics, and incorporates some R&B style.
Liang Liang plans to have a newcomer perform this piece.
This newcomer is Zhao Lunjie, the one who sings with unclear pronunciation.
Zhao Lunjie's voice sounds too much like that of a superstar. Liang Liang has also figured out his background: he was born into an ordinary working-class family in Lianwan and is a rather honest and low-key person.
After learning all this, Liang Liang decided to mold him into a replacement for that Heavenly King.
This song, "Dong Feng Po," was merely his stepping stone.
The songwriting speed of that king of Green Island is terrifying, so Liang Liang plans to make arrangements two or three years in advance.
Next September, this superstar will participate in a program on Green Island, officially stepping into the entertainment industry.
Liang Liang thought the best solution was to find him and have him come to Haiyun Company to write songs full-time.
His talent is only good for writing songs; singing is a waste of his time, so we don't need him.
Liang Liang plans to ask someone from Jinmeng Company to find this person, then sign him to her company to write songs specifically for Zhao Lunjie.
Once I return from Germany, I will begin to implement this plan.
Liang Liang selected a total of eighteen songs: fifteen old songs, one song that the Blue Shark Band had never performed, and two new songs.
They mainly need to rehearse these three pieces. They are more familiar with the older pieces, so they can just practice them casually.
The highlight of "Who Will Be the Hero" is those few suona playing sections, and this task must be completed happily.
In the past two years, Gao Xing's suona and flute playing have made great progress, as evidenced by the increase in the number of people asking him to play at funerals.
Although this is somewhat both laughable and lamentable.
In "East Wind Breaks," Gao He played the pipa, accompanied by Xia Dongdong playing the guzheng.
The piano intro of the original song was replaced by a guzheng by Liang Liang, which added a somber atmosphere to the originally subtle and elegant melody.
Zhao Lunjie stood nervously in the rehearsal room, feeling a little apprehensive.
This was a young man of eighteen or nineteen, with a somewhat melancholy face.
He smiled because he was older than Liang Liang, which made Liang Liang feel triumphant.
For so many years, he has always been seen as Xiao Liang by others. Even after becoming the general manager, he can only be called General Manager Xiao Liang.
Now that someone younger than me has finally appeared, I've finally found the feeling of being the older brother.
I haven't been the eldest brother for many years.
"Xiao Zhao! You seem a bit nervous. This is mainly because your understanding of the song isn't quite there yet. Don't worry about your pronunciation. I don't expect you to sing the lyrics perfectly. Just sing it as you normally would. A little slurred is even better. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Lunjie nodded.
"Band! Ready but it's no use? Let's do it again."
…
Who is playing "East Wind Breaks" on the pipa?
Maple leaves tell a story, and I see through the ending of the dyeing.
I led you along the ancient path outside the fence.
In an era where lies are rampant, even breakups happen in silence.
…
This time, Zhao Lunjie didn't pay special attention to his pronunciation and sang naturally. Because he was relaxed, the performance was excellent.
Liang Liang was quite satisfied.
Why am I somewhat satisfied but not entirely satisfied? Zhao Lunjie's song from that year was already quite good, but he didn't grasp the meaning the song was trying to express accurately enough.
He probably has never been in a relationship and has a rather shallow understanding of feelings.
But it's not a big deal, since the song was originally sung for foreigners or Chinese people living abroad.
They may not have a deep understanding of emotions.
Those foreigners haven't been down from the tree to the ground for very long, so expecting them to have a deep understanding of emotions is asking too much of them.
As for those Chinese living abroad, having lived with orcs for many years, their emotions have probably degenerated to a point of confusion.
