song
Li Li held Jing Shengxi's hand, and based on her little understanding of him, she dared to recommend him in front of people in the industry.
"He participated in the [Super Star] talent show and won the championship. He debuted and released a single and an album. Later, due to conflicts in the band and force majeure, he has now stepped behind the scenes. This is the music score he made. Please take a look, teachers."
Li Li held the music score in both hands and handed it to Wang Ge.
But Wang Ge didn't answer it immediately. He sat on the chair and listened to the demo music.
Li Li just raised both hands, as if to say, "If you don't take it, I will keep holding it."
The undried hair was still dripping with water, and the water dripped onto the paper with a sound.
“Beep.”
“Beep.”
“Beep.”
“Beep.”
“Beep.”
“Beep.”
“Beep.”
“Beep.”
Although the sound was small, the four people present could hear it.
Jing Shengxi couldn't help but walked forward and bowed deeply to Wang Ge: "Teacher Wang Ge, please give me another chance."
"I've already given you a chance." Teacher Wang Ge raised his eyelids. "Besides, I have to work now. Come back when you have time."
"We have plenty of time, but we rarely get to see you."
Li Lai handed the music sheet to Jing Shengxi and said to Wang Ge, "You are planning and hosting the Asian Music Awards, and you are also composing music for Hollywood film scores. We are also waiting for you to arrange the title song for Zhao Tianwang's new album. We know you are very busy. We don't expect you to listen to his works and then apply for a job at your company. We just want your guidance. After all, as the sage said, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Your talent and experience are beyond our ability to catch up with by burying our heads in study. We are fortunate to meet you and get your guidance."
Li Li's sincere words moved Wang Ge, who arranged for his assistant to pour a cup of hot water for Li Li. He picked up Jing Shengxi's music score and, after operating it on a professional machine several times, a smooth melody came out.
Li Li listened to Jing Shengxi playing these pieces upstairs every day, and revised them. The pieces he was most satisfied with were the ones he submitted here.
"Come and take a look. The connection between these notes is awkward and stiff. Let's replace them with these."
The effect is indeed different when the music score modified by Wang Ge is played again.
In layman's terms, it means changing from an unfinished house to a fully decorated house. The overall music has not changed, but it is more coherent than the previous version.
"There's not much problem with your composition. It's pretty standard, with no flaws to be found. Of course, there's nothing outstanding about it either."
Wang Ge took out a pencil and circled the music sheet a few times. "You don't have your own unique style. These parts are melodies that have been very popular online in recent years. You've incorporated them into your own work, but it doesn't add to your experience. You're just catering to the market and lowering the quality of your work."
Jing Shengxi's dazed eyes suddenly brightened up, and he asked, "Teacher Wang Ge, what style do you think my music should be?"
Wang Ge smiled casually, and after recalling his life experiences over the past few decades, he slowly said: "People are divided into stages. The life experiences and knowledge gained in each stage are different. This kind of thing cannot be explained. You need to rely on yourself to explore and understand it."
He pointed at Li Lai and praised her again, "Just like what happened today, this little girl dared to ask for my opinion on the manuscript. When she saw that I disagreed, she praised me in various ways and just asked me to guide her. Although she is a girl, she is braver than you."
Being praised by a big producer for the first time, Li Li felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Director Wang, you have a good temper. You're not like us young people. Otherwise, the security would have kicked us out long ago."
"Actually, I wanted to kick you out, but the way you look reminds me of someone."
"who."
"my wife."
Li Li: “…”
I don't know how to respond to this.
"Don't get me wrong, it just reminds me of the first time I went to meet the music director of a record company. I didn't have my guitar with me, so my wife rode her bike for an hour to bring it to me. The staff asked her who she was, and she said she was my agent."
Li Li smiled foolishly: "This must be the most perfect solution she could come up with."
Wang Ge nodded in agreement, "Otherwise I wouldn't be who I am today. By the way, is it still raining outside?"
Li Lai: "Well, Typhoon No. 7 has landed."
"It's dangerous to go back. Our building has staff dormitories. You two can stay here for the night and wait until the situation improves before leaving."
They followed the assistant to the staff dormitory, and found that it was full of employees who had not yet gone home due to overtime. Every room was occupied. The two followed the assistant to search for a long time, and found that only one room was left unoccupied.
Seeing that there was only a double bed room left in the house, Li Li touched his nose awkwardly, and the first thought that came to his mind was.
I should have known not to send the music score to Jing Shengxi. He would have no place to live.
"No... there are no other rooms, or I have to squeeze into one room with others."
Jing Shengxi's reaction was even more exaggerated, and he even stuttered when he spoke.
“Originally, we could have spared a few rooms, but Director Wang has a heavy workload now, and his team needs a quiet environment to create.
Director Wang was kind enough to let them stay overnight, so he didn't make any other requests. Otherwise, the two of them would have had to go back to their own residence during the typhoon.
"Then what about the extra luggage? After all, it's not very convenient for the two of us."
Li Li pointed at himself and Jing Shengxi.
"This is available. Please follow me to get it."
"Then I'll go." Jing Shengxi said urgently and followed his assistant to pick up the luggage.
Leaving behind Li Li, staring at the big bed in the room in a daze, he couldn't help but blush when he thought about what he would face soon, and muttered to himself: "I must be crazy. I must be crazy."
I have been reserved and dutiful all my life. When I was young, I knew that girls were not allowed to go near boys' toilets. In middle school, I knew that girls were not allowed to go out with boys casually. When I worked outside, I also knew the unspoken rules of the workplace.
Without any warning or preparation, I suddenly have to "share a bed" with a man!
The last time I saw something so outrageous happen was when I was watching a Taiwanese drama.
As expected, art comes from life.
When Jing Shengxi came in with the quilt, he happened to meet Li Li's sharp gaze. He stopped and said guiltily, "I'll sleep on the floor, don't worry."
So what he meant was that he was worried that I was planning something bad towards him, since I am that kind of person.
"You go ahead and do your thing. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes."
"Ah~" Jing Shengxi was so scared that he fell to the ground.
Seeing Jing Shengxi's intense reaction, she knew he was thinking the wrong thing. Li Li was so angry that she tried to prove her innocence: "I'm soaking wet. If I don't take a shower or dry myself off, I'll get sick."
"Then...then I'll go out."
It would seem even weirder if you went out. We have a innocent relationship, why are you blushing?
Li Lai took the disposable towel given by the staff and went out to find the staff bathroom. Fortunately, the building had not yet had water or electricity outages, so she took a quick hot shower. Thinking that neither of them had finished their dinner, she went to the vending machine to buy two buckets of instant noodles.
When I returned, I saw Wang Ge sitting in front of the door, playing guitar accompaniment himself, complementing Jing Shengxi's mellow voice. An original piece of music was born in this empty corridor.
I have also heard Jing Shengxi sing and know that he has a good voice and can basically connect any part of the voice perfectly.
For fear of disturbing Jing Shengxi's future, Li Li took the initiative to stand far away.
After the song was finished, Jing Shengxi was obviously very nervous. When Wang Ge was thinking, he didn't know where to put his hands.
"Your singing is very good, and your pitch is very good. It should be said that it is perfect, but it does not give people a sense of substitution. It feels like you are reading from a script."
Jing Shengxi nodded.
Wang Ge continued, "Love songs are meant to resonate with the audience and bring out their emotions. The story the songwriter writes and the singer's feelings about the song are all expressed through singing. Think about every little thing that happened between you and the 'her' in the story and sing it again."
Afraid that Jing Shengxi would lose his form, Wang Ge was particularly curious and asked, "How did you meet her in the story?"
"She, we met during a competition. She was a member of another team, and we were in the opposing team. I really didn't like her at the time."
"Why."
"Because she's so outstanding, she always gives her all in assessments and competitions. I tend to get overwhelmed when I'm alone with her. One time, her assessment results weren't very ideal, and our senior criticized her. She was very upset. I mustered up the courage to say something encouraging, but she started to speak in a sarcastic tone, telling her it was better to just leave. Our relationship wasn't particularly close to begin with, and it only made matters worse. Whenever she saw me, she would walk away with a cold indifference."
"And then, what triggered you to write this song?"
"Then, one day, we went to the supermarket to buy discounted laundry detergent and saw a music video of a bandmate of mine playing on the big screen. She was probably trying to comfort me, saying my music was a hundred thousand times better than his. Then I realized I knew very little about her, only superficially. She would seize every opportunity and refused to give up. That alone made me admire her."
"Have you confessed?"
Jing Shengxi said shyly: "No, I feel like I am nothing right now, and she should have a very bad impression of me. I want to wait until I have made some achievements before confessing my feelings."
Wang Ge said with emotion: "You are holding back a lot of energy now. This song is the turning point of your life."
After saying that, he signaled Jing Shengxi to look back and saw Li Li standing on the
Li Lai also turned around to look. There were only three of them in the corridor. He muttered to himself, "What bad things is Jing Shengxi saying about me again?"
