Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Dongqing did think of resigning.

However, according to company regulations, employees who resign before the contract is over must pay a fee. Why should they be taken advantage of when their contracts expire early next year?

And there is Wu Lan.

She had taken care of the original Yu Dongqing in the company for ten years and was a very loving woman.

If the company really re-signs the agreement with him and the copyright belongs to him, he should help her and repay the favor.

that is it.

Yu Dongqing returned to the office. As soon as he sat down in his workspace, Li Wei came over again with an excited look on his face: "Brother Yu, it was indeed you who wrote it! "Knife Club Overture" has now spread throughout the company, it's amazing! The old witch rewards How much do you pay?"

"50,000 yuan." Yu Dongqing told the truth.

"Okay, I'll almost cover your salary for two months. Brother Yu, you want to treat me!"

"Okay." Yu Dongqing agreed readily.

"Are you stupid, Li Wei? That soundtrack written by Brother Yu is only worth 50,000?!" Luo Yun snorted coldly after hearing it: "I just listened to it and it was absolutely amazing. It can definitely compete with a great composer like Xia Wenxi. The writing is comparable!”

"That's true, but the original agreement came first. If Brother Yu can write similar good songs in the future, he will try to sign a new agreement with the company, like Fang Jinsong did, and the copyright will belong to him!" Li Wei added.

"Do you think Brother Yu will take advantage of that?" Luo Yun sneered again and said:

"That is called a general service work. According to national law, the copyright is enjoyed by the author, but legal persons or other organizations have the right to priority use within the scope of business. Within two years of the completion of the work, the author may not license it to a third party or other organization without the consent of the unit Use the piece in the same way as your unit!”

Ah.

I know quite a lot.

Yu Dongqing is a little confused as to why Luo Yun's work ability is not very outstanding, and why in the contract she signed with the company, if the copyright of the song she created is a general job work, the copyright belongs to the creator!

It seems to be related to his family background, but this is just what he heard.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's wait and see what happens next." Yu Dongqing stopped the quarrel between the two in time.

I'm still at work, so it's really inappropriate to say this.

"At noon, Liyuan Restaurant, I'll treat you." Finally, Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

Liyuan Restaurant is not far from Jinye Building. The food is delicious and the price is affordable. It is a place where white-collar workers in this area like to gather for lunch.

This incident passed quickly, and colleagues in the company talked about it for a while but then fell silent. Jinye Records is one of the top record companies in the country and has a lot of talents. It doesn't matter if someone occasionally writes a hit song.

What's more, what Yu Dongqing wrote was just a soundtrack for the movie.

Yu Dongqing returned to his ordinary life.

Of course there are some changes.

For example, when the young man named Li Le met Yu Dongqing by chance in the corridor, he no longer called him "Brother Yu" but respectfully called him "Teacher Yu."

Also, Luo Yun seemed to prefer to be on his side.

This afternoon, Yu Dongqing was arranging music seriously in front of the computer. He has been busy these two days: arranging the soundtrack for a movie about urban underworld gambling.

When it comes to "God of Gamblers", Yu Dongqing will think of the scene where Gao Jin, played by Fa Ge, appears domineeringly in a straight tuxedo and a big slicked back hair, and as soon as the handsome music plays, everyone will know God of Gamblers. When we arrived, Brother Fa came to play cards with a tape recorder.

Unfortunately, there is no Wang Jing or Fa Ge in this time and space.

Without Fa Ge's "God of Gamblers", can it be called the God of Gamblers?

Look at the image of the male protagonist you choose

He is so handsome, but how can he be as domineering as Fa Ge?

A devilish smile? Domineering president?

Yu Dongqing knew that his name was Guo Xiaoming, a top-notch youngster in this time and space, and a popular fried chicken.

Yu Dongqing complained in her heart, but the speed of her hands was not slow. The work was done seriously.

The episode assigned to Yu Dongqing is episode number 11.

Yu Dongqing decided to use piano arrangement. For this kind of pure music without lyrics, the rhythm is relatively strong and has its own rules. Generally, the left hand accompanies the right hand melody.

Various decomposed arpeggios

Change pedaling

Yu Dongqing quickly got it done, generated the audio file and sent it to Wu Lan's email.

After a leisurely drink of tea, I saw that it was already time to get off work, so I packed my things, picked up my briefcase, and prepared to go home. I passed by Luo Yun's workroom and took a look. She was still busy in front of the computer.

"Why, haven't you finished editing it yet?" Yu Dongqing asked casually.

She also arranged the soundtrack for the movie "God of Gamblers", the background music number 5.

This episode is considered to be relatively important in the whole movie. The scene used is a highlight scene of the protagonist, which is very similar to the scene where Fa Ge makes a domineering appearance.

Hearing Yu Dongqing's inquiry, Luo Yun immediately sighed: "There is no way, the old witch is too demanding and dare not be careless."

"Oh, that's right. I'll get off work first, and you should leave early. Bye," Yu Dongqing said and turned around to leave.

"Bye-Bye."

Yu Dongqing returned home and had a bowl of poached egg noodles for dinner. Her daughter usually stayed at her grandfather's house, so she could eat enough for herself and the whole family would not be hungry.

After dinner in the evening, there was nothing else to do. First I went out for a walk. I stood in the pavilion in the garden of the community and watched the two old men playing chess with interest. When my cell phone rang, I saw that the phone number was from Luo Yun.

She's looking for me?

To be honest, I usually chat with Luo Yun at work and sometimes make a few jokes, but I seldom contact her after get off work.

After waiting for a while, Yu Dongqing answered the phone: "Luo Yun, what's the matter?"

"Brother Yu, I will send the composed song to your mailbox. You can listen to it and help me check it."

Yu Dongqing was a little surprised: "Are you working overtime?"

It's already past six o'clock, and she hasn't left yet.

"Well, go back after you're done. Anyway, I'll be alone when I go home."

"Okay, send it over and I'll listen to it, and you can go home early."

Yu Dongqing hung up the phone, and soon there was an email in the QQ mailbox of his mobile phone. He read and played chess for a while. It was almost seven o'clock before he slowly went home. Lying on the sofa, he opened the audio file in the attachment. Lie on the sofa and listen carefully.

Can't tell what's wrong

But it's not even good.

The entire soundtrack, including the arrangement, is mediocre.

This is not because Luo Yun’s arrangement level is too poor. Yu Dongqing found that the soundtracks in this time and space are very average.

Later, he thought about this problem carefully and finally discovered that the foundation of music theory was inherently insufficient.

In the original time and space, there were several genres of basic film and television soundtracks, just taking classical music as an example.

Romantic music, representative figures: Wagner, Schumann

Representative work: "Ride of the Valkyrie", many war films still use this BGM;

Representative figures of Impressionist music: Debussy, Ravel.

The representative work "Bolero". The hit "Digimon" once used this song, and some places in China also use this as BGM for eye exercises. It has a really wide range of applicability.

There is also Expressionist music, represented by: Schoenberg, Berg

Experimental music: Representative figures: John Cage, Stockhausen, Ryoji Ikeda, Ryuichi Sakamoto

There are too many differences in time and space.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Yu Dongqing, and he has no intention of becoming a music theory evangelist.

Too tired.

What's more, I am not from a major.

Yu Dongqing listened carefully several times. On WeChat, he put forward his own opinions on the two chords in the song, suggesting that she change the G chord to a G7 chord to make it more interesting.

"Thank you, Brother Yu, I will buy breakfast for you tomorrow morning!" Luo Yun sent a voice message that seemed very happy.

"You're welcome, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dongqing looked at the time and started exercising for the day, lifting dumbbells and doing push-ups.

Keeping his current figure in shape has a lot to do with Yu Dongqing's half-hour exercise every night and going to the gym once a week.

This habit must be maintained.

The next morning, Yu Dongqing came to the company still carrying soy milk fried dough sticks and the almost unchanged Lao Sanzian. Unexpectedly, Ao Luoyun actually bought herself breakfast: fried liver buns that old Yanjing people like to eat!

"Brother Yu, I went to Lao Sun's bun shop to buy this. It's still hot." Luo Yun smiled like a flower.
