From Middle Age: Leisure Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 14 "The Final Countdown" is completely written

Of course, for a few of them now, this is just saying.

Yu Dongqing went to work on time on Monday and started working day after day.

The responsibilities of a music editor are very complex, not only arranging music, sound effects synthesis, etc., but also including some audio format conversion, responsible for voice recording, editing, etc.

Another very important task is to review the songs.

Music companies like Jinye Records, one of the top music companies in China, receive a large number of songs composed by music lovers and even professional musicians and songs sung by singers every day.

The company has a dedicated team to review the works of well-known musicians and singers. If they pass the preliminary review, they will enter the next step of the process.

The works of a large number of unknown music lovers are reviewed by the company's ordinary music editors. Perhaps their level is not as good as that of the specialized team, but they have accumulated considerable experience in music styles, types, and popular music elements in the market.

After their cross-preliminary review, if the review passes, you can enter the field of vision of the specialized team.

Yu Dongqing is doing this kind of work today. He, Luo Yun, and Li Wei cross-review the submitted works. If two of the three pass the preliminary review, they can enter the next step and hand it over to the professional team.

Wearing headphones and drinking Longjing tea, Yu Dongqing casually clicked on audio files one by one and listened carefully.

However, according to normal practice, the other two people will not object to the songs that Yu Dongqing has reviewed and will smoothly enter the next process.

There are still many songs waiting for preliminary review.

It's so rubbish, I just don't want to listen to some songs halfway through.

Yu Dongqing frowned slightly and asked Li Wei in the workshop next to him in a low voice: "Where is Luo Yun?"

But in Yu Dongqing's eyes, this kind of song can be called by using software such as Jammer and Band In A Box to automatically generate melody, texture, etc. according to requirements such as style, speed, mode, etc., and relying on algorithms to automatically create and complete songs by computers.

Original?

This is a bit difficult.

"It depends on his fortune." Yu Dongqing picked up the teacup and took a long sip.

Moreover, the rock style like Tang Guang is a niche both within Jinye Records and in the mainstream music market.

But no matter what, Tang Guang's song "The Age of Justice" was one of the songs that Yu Dongqing heard that he was quite satisfied with this morning. He soon sent it to Li Wei and Luo Yun for cross-review.

Yu Dongqing drank tea for a while and put on headphones to listen. Finally, there was a song that cheered him up and had a bit of a rock flavor.

After a busy morning, it was finally the lunch break. The atmosphere in the office became relaxed. Seeing that the weather was getting hot outside, many colleagues ordered takeout.

"Sister Yun was called by the old witch. I don't know why she hasn't come back for so long." Li Wei replied.

The quality of the songs is too poor.

Not to mention that the melody is stiff and rigid, and strictly speaking it cannot be regarded as the user's own original work, but should be attributed to the programmers and musicians behind the software!

"Let's sing eighteen songs." Yu Dongqing blurted out.

"What? What is Shiba Mo?" Luo Yun asked curiously.

The lyrics are very burning:

"Holly, Brother Yu, if there is anything I need to help you with, just tell me."

"Brother Yu, Wu Lan asked me to go to her office just now. What do you think happened?" Luo Yun said in a low voice.

"Well, I won't listen to the rest of the songs in the past two days. You and Li Wei can just check it." Yu Dongqing replied.

Typical tearing singing style, full of power and explosiveness, long-lasting treble, and excellent mixing effect, much like Wang Feng in the original time and space.

And most of the songs on the market in this time and space are derived from this.

Fortunately, there is no Wei Xiaobao or Shibamo in this time and space.

Yu Dongqing endured the feeling of "qiangjian" in her ears. After listening to ten songs, she couldn't bear it anymore. She took off her headphones and leaned on the back of the chair with a long breath. When she looked up, she found that Luo Yun was not in the front row of the workroom.

It's just that the voice is pretty good.

The song is called "The Age of Justice"

Yu Dongqing said oh and asked again: "Have you found any songs that can be heard?"

Yu Dongqing doesn't have the habit of ordering takeout. He likes to go out to restaurants to eat and get some fresh air. As soon as he left the office and walked to the stairs today, he saw Luo Yun wearing an OL skirt walking downstairs. She hurriedly called him when she saw him.

live.

Yu Dongqing was immediately interested. Looking at the singer's profile, his name was Tang Guang. He was a music lover and had liked rock and roll since he was a child. This time, in addition to submitting his own original songs to Jinye Records, he also wanted to become its singer.

"Not yet, they are all rubbish."

With the emergence of a large number of song creation software, the threshold for creating an original song has been significantly lowered, and anyone with some knowledge of music theory can create a song through the software.

"Um."

It turned out that Wu Lan approached her and said that this song "The Final Countdown" was very good. It was a pity to use only one fragment as a film and television soundtrack. She should try to write it completely, then find someone to write the lyrics and arrange the music, and give it to the singers of our company to sing. It will definitely be done.

fire."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Yu Dongqing agreed after thinking.

Where have you gone?

"Hey. You are the uncle now, do you want me to beat your legs and sing a song again?" Luo Yun's eyes were full of charm.

"How can I do that? Let's go and eat together and chat while we eat."

The two of them went downstairs together and ordered two dishes and a soup at Liyuan Restaurant. She just told what happened.

Looking at Luo Yun's weird smile, Yu Dongqing's heart skipped a beat: "Isn't it because I want you to complete the song "The Final Countdown"?"

"Brother Yu, I leave this all to you. It's still the old rule, the copyright share belongs to you." Luo Yun said with a smile.

Don't ruin your ears anymore.

"Ha! Brother Yu, you are so smart! This is why Wu Lan came to me."

The melody of the song is average, leaning towards pop rock.

"You agreed?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Oh, go ahead."

If you want to become a singer under Jinye Records, in addition to certain singing skills, the appearance of the singer is also very important. After all, this is an era where faces are important.

This is not a very pleasant job.

However, I heard that Shiba Mo has always existed, and it is a ditty popular among the Hakka people. However, there are also Shiba Mo with miscellaneous thoughts in Hokkien. The singing method is different, but the content is very similar.

So Yu Dongqing quickly replied: "No,... nothing to say casually."

"Humph, you men"

Although Luo Yun has never heard of this song, the title of the song makes people think about it.
