Chapter 83: Musicians Meeting
The rain continued for a week.
During this week, Ren Fenghe and Jiang Shen lived according to their original daily schedule.
Jiang Shen was in the studio at night, chatting with several musicians by phone and text message from time to time.
At this time in the evening, Ms. Miao had already gone home, and Jiang Shen would take Ren Fenghe to the studio. Ren Fenghe also had things to do, so she would put the tablet on the table, learn sign language, and occasionally listen to their conversations about music.
Then at nine o'clock, Jiang Shen took Ren Fenghe home.
On the day when the sky cleared and the rain stopped completely, when Ms. Miao took Ren Fenghe home from piano class, Jiang Shen asked, "Yuanyuan, remember what I told you before, that I would be visiting the studios of several cooperating musicians in a while?"
Ren Fenghe had never forgotten it. Seeing that Jiang Shen hadn't mentioned this matter much this week, she wanted to ask a few questions.
Ren Fenghe nodded and said, "I remember."
Jiang Shen said, "They are almost done with their recent work, and they said we should get together tonight. Do you want to go?"
Ren Fenghe's reply was the same as before. She looked expectant and nodded vigorously, answering loudly, "Go!"
After she answered, she hesitated again and asked, "But can I go to your adults' party?"
Jiang Shen was stunned. He didn't expect her to worry about this. He smiled and said, "They all know you."
There is a wall between Korean entertainment and domestic entertainment, but the wall is not very thick. In particular, creative musicians will also submit songs to Korean entertainment companies. Of course, they know about his business.
It can even be said that it was because of what we saw about him that we knew he was in the country, and that we got in touch through a mutual acquaintance.
After we got in touch and chatted, we found that we had similar views on music, so we mentioned that we wanted to make music together.
Every music creator has his or her own demo library. The songs in the library may not be released. Some of them are independently produced by the creator, while others are produced through collaboration.
A collaborative demo does not mean it will be published. It is more about discussing ways of making music through communication, deepening one's understanding of the same and different genres of music, as well as understanding of creative methods and ideas.
Jiang Shen contacted several musicians to discuss making songs for this reason, and not because the company relaxed the restrictions on his song release after he went back to negotiate with them last time.
However, if he can indeed collaborate with them to produce an excellent song, I hope that the company he renews his contract with will also give him benefits, allow him to release songs, and try to keep him.
Jiang Shen couldn't help but think of the last negotiation.
The last negotiation took a long time and he expressed his ideas clearly. After he returns from his sick leave, there will be more formal negotiations again and again, and he will be negotiating with his teammates and legal team at that time.
"Just because they know me doesn't mean they want me to go. Don't adults think that having children around will interfere with their work?" Ren Fenghe said.
Jiang Shen was surprised and asked, "Why do you think so?"
He grabbed Ren Fenghe's arm, looked her up and down, then pulled her arm to let her turn to the back, looked her up and down again, and finally said with certainty: "Don't worry, I have used scientific methods to verify that all adults will like you."
Ren Fenghe was speechless. As an adult at heart, she certainly would not interfere with their work.
She mentioned this only because she put herself in his shoes.
If she is busy with work and has a child around, she has to divide her time to take care of the child. If the child is obedient, it's okay, but if it's a naughty child, it really makes people want to collapse.
So, based on her own thoughts, she thought it was natural for other people to think this way.
Ren Fenghe pursed his lips, resisted the urge to complain, and said, "What scientific method?"
Jiang Shen patted her head and said, "It's called the naked eye observation method. You will learn this method when you go to school. It has a scientific basis."
Haha, this is what Ren Fenghe commented on this.
Since Jiang Shen thought she could go and she wanted to go, then she really went.
If other people think it is inappropriate for him to bring the child, then let him solve it himself. This kind of adult handling of interpersonal relationships is not something that she, a "child", needs to consider.
"Then after dinner, when you finish taking a shower, we'll set off," Jiang Shen said.
The matter was settled, and Ren Fenghe finished her meal and took a shower in nervous anticipation, and carefully selected a fashionable all-black suit from her closet.
Just as she had an idea of the image of the person who created the painting when she met Miao Qingqing, she also had an idea of the musician.
No, no, Ren Fenghe, calm down. Have you forgotten how the sky was falling when you found out that Miao Qingqing was completely different from the painter and artist you had imagined?
Just like not all male rappers have dreadlocks and wear baggy wide-leg pants with half of their underwear showing, and not all female divas wear sequined capris on stage, creative musicians are definitely not what you imagine, wearing all kinds of trendy brands!
Maybe when you go there, you'll find them wearing classic masculine commuting outfits with lapel stripes and a small pocket on the chest?
But even though she told herself so, Ren Fenghe still changed into the all-black suit that Jiang Shen picked for her and went out.
Sitting in the child seat, Ren Fenghe couldn't help but ask, "Do they smoke?"
In her impression, the kind of creative music people in movies would create music in the dead of night while smoking to awaken their inspiration.
Jiang Shen was puzzled and said, "Why do you ask that? Even if they knew there were children coming, they wouldn't have smoked."
"No, nothing." Ren Fenghe didn't want Jiang Shen to know what she was thinking, so she sat down quickly.
After sitting for a while, Ren Fenghe asked again: "Do they all have long hair?"
Jiang Shen said: "I don't know about that. You can check it out when you get there."
Ren Fenghe then asked: "How many uncles and aunts are there?"
Jiang Shen described it accurately: "Two uncles, two aunts, and one sister."
"Sister?" Ren Fenghe repeated in confusion.
Jiang Shen said: "There was a 14-year-old child there too."
Ren Fenghe said: "Are you going there to accompany the adults like me?"
"What do you mean by accompanying an adult like you? So you went out just to accompany me," Jiang Shen laughed helplessly. He continued to answer, "She is a girl who is very creative and good at composing music."
Ren Fenghe thought to herself, although on the one hand she said she wanted to go because she wanted to broaden her horizons, on the other hand she was indeed afraid that something might go wrong when Jiang Shen went into the recording studio to record a song while chatting about music. After all, wasn't she just going to accompany him?
After driving for about half an hour, we entered a creative park and drove to the corner of the park before finally arriving at our destination.
Jiang Shen took Ren Fenghe in.
When they entered, Ren Fenghe looked up and asked, "Don't we need to bring gifts? Food and drinks?"
Jiang Shen shook his head and said, "No, there's a lot of equipment inside and the floors are low. Bringing food with you would attract rats and damage the equipment."
That makes sense, Ren Fenghe nodded.
After entering the gate, Jiang Shen made a phone call.
Soon, a man in his twenties came out.
The man was wearing a gray sweatshirt and a baseball cap with a sweatshirt hood over the baseball cap, and his pants were also a pair of gray sweatpants.
It’s very similar to Jiang Shen’s usual attire.
"Are you here?" The man walked to Jiang Shen with his right hand extended, shook hands with him as if high-fiving, and bumped shoulders with him.
After saying hello, the man squatted down and looked at Ren Fenghe.
As soon as their eyes met, the man showed an extremely kind smile, "Oh, you must be Yuanyuan, my name is Wei Yu, you can call me Uncle Wei or just call me uncle."
Ren Fenghe nodded and called out, "Uncle."
The man patted Ren Fenghe's arm to show his support. After patting him twice, he stood up and said to Jiang Shen, "Come on, I'll take you inside."
I walked into the house and went to one of the rooms, where there were already two women and one man sitting.
A girl with big wavy hair, wearing suspenders, crossed her legs with a splint on her legs, turning a pen in her right hand, and occasionally writing something on the white paper on the splint.
The other girl had a pink crew cut. From Ren Fenghe's perspective, she had four pierced holes in her right ear, two on the ear bone and two on the earlobe. She wore sparkling earrings and was dressed casually in a white T-shirt and shorts.
Hearing the noise, the girl with a crew cut turned sideways and looked over.
It turned out that it was not a white T-shirt, but a T-shirt with a pattern on it, a particularly cute black leather Hello Kitty.
The girl with a crew cut leaned down to keep the same height as Ren Fenghe, and gave Ren Fenghe a cute smile with her nose wrinkled.
Ren Fenghe also smiled broadly at her.
The last boy was wearing a black T-shirt with knee-length pants and a completely bald head. The white light in the room shone on his head, and it reflected brightly.
Wei Yu swiped his card to open the door and introduced these people to Jiang Shen.
The girl with curly hair is called Siyi, the girl with crew cut is called Chengzheng, and the boy with bald head is called A K.
Although they are all musicians, there are differences among musicians.
The four people responsible for singing, composing, arranging, writing lyrics and mixing, except Jiang Shen, each have their own strengths.
The other people were obviously familiar with each other and were talking about something before entering the door. After Jiang Shen came in, the atmosphere did not cool down, but became more lively. They immediately brought Jiang Shen into the conversation.
Cheng Zheng withdrew from the topic and couldn't help but hug Ren Fenghe again and again.
When she got closer, Ren Fenghe found that she had a lip stud. She stared at her lip stud curiously, then touched her mouth and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Cheng Zheng shook his head and said, "No."
Ren Fenghe couldn't help but ask a curious but somewhat presumptuous question, "Can drinking water help you get through it?"
Cheng Zheng chuckled and her hand touched her lip stud. Ren Fenghe watched her next move and couldn't help but widen his eyes and wanted to scream out.
I saw her picking at the lip stud on her mouth.
Ren Fenghe already felt pain for her, frowning and baring his teeth, his face twisted into a ball.
Cheng Zheng said with a smile: "This is pasted on, look."
She took off the lip piercing sticker and showed it to Ren Fenghe.
After such interaction, the two became familiar with each other instantly. Cheng Zheng directly carried Ren Fenghe to sit on her lap, put his arms around Ren Fenghe, and occasionally interrupted them to talk about business.
At this time, the last girl came.
It is the 14-year-old child mentioned by Jiang Shen.
She was carrying an acoustic guitar and swiped her card to open the door.
As soon as the girl came in, she took off her coat while muttering, "The heating is too hot."
Cheng Zheng said: "I have finished my homework."
The girl is at the age of a junior high school student with a heavy academic workload. She said bitterly, "Of course I do. There are a lot of homework and math is difficult."
Cheng Zheng said, "Come on, I can't help you with my bad grades."
