The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 12 12. Ask Jielun Zou to score the game

  The script problem has been solved, and now Cao Yang is most worried about the soundtrack.

  A good galgame, the proportion of the soundtrack is very high, no less than art, which is the same as watching a movie, you can get an immersive experience, a large part of the reason is because the background music substitutes you into it.

  Assuming that the background sound is turned off in a horror movie, the horror feeling will be reduced by 50%.

  Love Healing Fan does not have tear-gas music, and your tears will not flow so fast.

  But, where to find a good soundtrack?

  Cao Yang asked people to find a few outsourcing companies, which are now the best game soundtrack company in the domestic game market, but they sent back demos that Cao Yang didn’t feel after hearing it several times.

Samples refer to samples. After simple communication and before signing the contract, the soundtrack company will make some short samples of the following soundtracks to Party A according to Party A’s needs. These samples may last for more than ten seconds. It looks like it mainly reflects the strength of the soundtrack company and whether it meets the needs of Party A.

  Just like you want to buy apples sold by a company in bulk, you have to try a few first to see how it tastes.

  Cao Yang listened to several companies, and sent back more than a dozen samples in total, but still felt a little dissatisfied.

  This is not the fate in his mind, oh no, the glory of the king.

   "Are there any other music outsourcing?" Cao Yang put down his headphones and raised his head to ask.

   "Others are not as good as these." Little secretary Zhuang Yurou answered with a sad face.

  She didn’t know when she, an assistant to the general manager, came to work on music and sound effects.

  But in fact, she is only acting as a contact.

  These resources were obtained from other game companies through her friends.

  In 2000, the game market was not particularly hot, and there were fewer outsourcing companies engaged in soundtracks. It took a lot of hard work to find a few good ones, but I did not expect the boss to be so picky.

  "Boss, I actually sound pretty good. Listen to this drumbeat, bang, bang, bang, bang." Zhuang Yurou put on the headphones and hummed in her mouth.

  When she noticed the boss’s cold gaze, she silently took off the headset.

   "I'm sorry, I was wrong." The little secretary stood aside obediently, "Actually, I am a sound nerd, and I have no aesthetics at all."

   Cao Yang glanced at her contemptuously, this is not a question of musical aesthetics at all.

  Earphones are so personal, just like toothbrushes, how can they be worn casually?

  Wrong wearing it, what should I do if there is a problem?

   Cao Yang did not speak, he closed his eyes and thought silently.

  "If you look for it again, you have to spend money to hire a dedicated music master to do it, such as Tan Dun and Zhao Jiping. We don't have enough budget, right?"

  Zhuang Yurou was also helpless.

  I’m just an assistant to the general manager, boss, please hurry up and hire a few professionals.

"Eh?"

  Originally, Zhuang Yurou was just an angry remark to let the boss retreat. From these demos, she chose one that was inseparable. She didn't expect this guy to suddenly open her eyes and startled her.

  The little secretary took a step back and said, "Boss, don't be surprised, I am timid. I was talking nonsense just now, I will find someone to contact to see if there are other game soundtracks."

   "No, you are right." Cao Yang raised a hand and interrupted her.

  He thought of someone.

   "What are you doing? Do you really want to invite Tan Dun?!" Zhuang Yurou's eyes widened in horror.

   "No." Cao Yang shook his head, "Do you have a way to get Brother Xian's phone?"

  Zhuang Yurou was a little confused, "Brother Xian? Which Brother Xian?"

  ...

  The next day, Cao Yang took Zhuang Yurou on the plane to Wanwan.

  The current time is April 9, 2000, and it’s too late.

Brother Xian, of course, is the one who sang "Stupid Kid" with Huazi and Big Brother.

  Now the first brother in the host world of Bay Bay, he is also a record producer and the owner of Alpha Music.

  The purpose of Cao Yang’s trip was not to ask Brother Xian to help score the game.

  After Zhuang Yurou’s reminder, Cao Yang already has a good candidate.

  Zou Jielun.

  His past life is the king of Chinese music and a well-known music god. Since the release of his first album "jay" in November 2000, he has since embarked on the road to fame as the king.

  From the post-80s to the post-00s, no one does not know his name.

Zou Jielun’s road to fame was actually quite bumpy. When he was in junior high school, his parents divorced and he studied music under the supervision of his mother. After graduating from high school, he applied to the Music Department of Taipei University twice and was not accepted, so he started to study music. Working in a restaurant.

  Until September 1997, with the encouragement of his mother, Zou Jielun signed up to participate in the entertainment program "Super Newcomer King" of Star TV, and invited people to sing his own song "Dream with Wings" in the program.

  When the host Xian Ge saw the score of this song, he invited Zou Jielun to Alfa Music Company as a music assistant.

Several songs written to others during    were returned.

  It was not until 2000 that he began to sing his own songs and made them into the album "JAY".

  Zou Jielun is very talented in organizing the composition, harmony writing, and production of all the songs of this album.

  ...

  Honor of Kings, the galgame, designed according to the new script, is actually a Chinese style game that incorporates magical elements.

  The musical elements required in this game must also be quite complicated.

  According to Cao Yang's idea, one is to maintain the tone of the Chinese style, while being able to keep up with international standards.

  So Cao Yang is not satisfied with the samples sent back by the companies before, because everyone is limited by the times. You want a group of people who have been influenced by the music culture of 2000 to create advanced music, it is indeed a bit difficult.

  Zou Jielun’s style fits these characteristics very well, and he is also a creative genius.

  If Cao Yang can invite him, he will definitely be stable.

  ...

  The most important thing is that this time please, the price is definitely cheap.

  After two years, I don’t know how much it will cost.

  ...
