Hearing Zhao Yang's hoarse voice, Song Yuqin was a little surprised: "The audio files were organized so quickly?"
"Yeah, I just had a sudden inspiration," Li Zhaoyang replied casually.
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll take a look when I have some free time."
Song Yuqin still had a lot of work to do. After watching Zhaoyang leave the office, she prepared to make a few phone calls to the heads of music companies.
Although the task of arranging the song was left to Xiao Zhang, she was not idle.
The first company to request a song was a music production company.
After dialing the number of the person in charge, Song Yuqin's first words were: "Mr. Wang, are you free recently? I'd like to discuss some cooperation with you."
The CEO on the phone was practically a fox spirit; he immediately guessed the other party's purpose: "CEO Song, let's get straight to the point. Do you want to arrange a song request?"
Song Yuqin smiled and said, "You see right through me. Nothing can be hidden from President Wang."
Mr. Wang: "Actually, we also want to cooperate with Wanxia, but... right now there's too much public opinion about Wanxia. The internet is full of people denouncing and boycotting Wanxia's works. Our startup really doesn't dare to get involved in this mess. Of course, since Mr. Song personally called to beg me, I will still give him face."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Song Yuqin was secretly delighted, thinking, "President Wang must know about our music department, right? The piece I want to collaborate on must have the potential to win the rose championship."
Mr. Wang: "Okay, but we need to take 80% of the profits from the startup."
Upon hearing this, Song Yuqin frowned. "President Wang, aren't you asking for too much?"
Mr. Wang: "There's an even better way to cooperate. I wonder if Mr. Song would be interested?"
Song Yuqin narrowed her eyes: "President Wang, you speak."
Mr. Wang: "I've long heard that Song Yuqin is quite famous in our circle. She became the head of the music department at a young age, and she has countless suitors. If Yuqin could do me the honor of having dinner with me, watching a movie, and..."
"Beep beep beep~"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Song Yuqin hung up the phone, her face unusually cold.
In an office far away at the startup camp, a middle-aged man saw the phone call end and muttered to himself, "Hmph, he's almost 30 and still pretending to be innocent with me... It's a pity that with such a good figure and face, he doesn't make a living in that field, but insists on making himself so tired."
As he spoke, President Wang licked his chapped lips with a wicked expression. How wonderful it would be if he could win over Song Yuqin, this beauty.
...
After calming herself down a bit, Song Yuqin forced a smile again and called the person in charge at Blooming.
I called once but no one answered, then I called a second time, and still no one answered.
It wasn't until four calls were made that the person in charge of Bloom finally answered the phone: "President Song, I was busy with something and didn't see your call. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, Mr. Guan is very busy, he understands."
"By the way, Mr. Song, is there something you wanted to see me about today?"
"Mr. Guan, I won't beat around the bush. I'd like to propose a hit song to you, one that has the potential to win the rose championship."
"This... Your Sunset Company is so big, surely you can find a piece that can compete for the rose championship?"
"To be honest, Mr. Guan, the development of our repertoire for the first half of the year was basically centered around Li Zhaoyang. Only he could bring out the charm of those works to the fullest extent. Unfortunately, due to an accident, Wanxia will not be able to produce any high-quality works for the time being."
"President Song, have you considered that even if I have hit songs, we still can't collaborate? I know your Wanxia's singers, and none of them are suitable. Moreover, Wanxia is caught in such a huge public opinion storm. Popular singer Zhao Shanshan personally released a video to accuse Li Zhaoyang. Even if Li Zhaoyang is blacklisted, no one will dare to collaborate with Wanxia for a long time."
Guan, who is always in a radiant state, speaks directly and without any reservations.
"I see..." Song Yuqin understood the meaning behind the other party's words. "Then I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Guan. Please continue with your work."
"Okay, we at Blooming would really like to collaborate with Sunset again next year if we have time, but it's really not possible this year. We hope you understand."
After exchanging a few polite words, the call ended.
The blooming flower didn't mean to mock the sunset; it was purely an instinctive act of avoiding danger.
Song Yuqin glanced at the other music companies, but their attitudes were mostly the same, so she simply didn't bother calling them and risking them getting annoyed.
"well……"
Leaning back slightly, Song Yuqin completely relaxed, turning her chair to look at the beautiful scenery outside the office's floor-to-ceiling windows, but she had no heart to appreciate it.
Guan Zong's words, though rough, are not without merit.
Even if they manage to secure a song, it would be difficult for Wanxia to find a singer with Zhaoyang's vocal skills and charisma. At this critical juncture, instructing Manager Zhang to secure songs and recruit talent was actually a way of hoping for the best.
Unless you have a super high-quality song that's universally applicable and doesn't discriminate against singers, even a nobody could become a hit.
But those classic pieces are hard to come by.
If you ask a top-notch songwriter to create a song, it will be difficult to produce one in a year or two. If you have a burst of inspiration, you might occasionally come up with one.
Exhausted, Song Yuqin almost forgot that she had promised to give Zhaoyang pointers on her new song before finally opening her email.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yang's situation was so pitiful, she wouldn't really want to review manuscripts anymore.
Clicking on the latest message, I saw an encrypted audio file with the note "Sorrow Relief".
Turn on the speakers, and Song Yuqin clicks to play this audio file.
Because it hasn't been recorded yet, it's just an audio file, so there's no vocals, only lyrics and melody, with the pitch indicated on the lyrics.
I only listened to the opening melody.
She can roughly determine what type of music it is.
As the melody played out, Song Yuqin began to look at the lyrics.
——
When you step into this joyous place, carrying all your dreams and aspirations...
Faces of all colors, makeup of all colors, no one remembers what you look like.
——
"Are songs about dreams considered youth-themed songs?"
If it's a youth-themed story, Song Yuqin feels this opening is a bit lacking.
She has very discerning tastes; otherwise, she wouldn't have become the head of the department. Subconsciously, she gave this opening a low score.
Knowing that this was Zhaoyang's debut songwriting work, I didn't have high expectations or demands, but instead continued reading with the intention of offering guidance.
However.
Her thoughts will gradually change as the lyrics continue to be sung.
——
One cup to the rising sun, one cup to the moonlight, awakening my longing, softening the cold window.
...
One cup to my hometown, one cup to distant places; may my kindness guide my growth.
...
One cup to tomorrow, one cup to the past, may it soothe my body and strengthen my shoulders.
...
One cup to freedom, one cup to death, forgive my ordinariness, dispel my confusion.
——
Upon seeing the lyrics, Song Yuqin paused for a moment, not yet realizing what kind of song it was, before being amazed by its melody.
The melody doesn't convey a fast-paced or explosive feeling, but it can gradually evoke emotions.
Because it was played through a speaker, and because she was trying to give pointers, Song Yuqin hadn't even had time to get into the conversation before her expression started to look a little off.
He immediately put on the headphones on the table.
To truly immerse yourself in the listening experience, headphones are essential.
