Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

To Matsuhashi Minoru's question, Takeyusei replied: "That's right, I'm indeed looking for someone to make music for the game, what? Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Matsuhashi nodded and said, "There is indeed a candidate, the elder brother of a good friend of mine."

Zhu Youxing became interested and asked, "How is your level?"

Matsuhashi nodded earnestly and said: "His composition level is very good. He was a little famous when he was young. At that time, he could be said to have unlimited potential. At that time, many record companies invited him to become a composer, but Because of some accidents, he is unwilling to compose any more songs."

"Accident? What kind of accident?"

"Well... that is, he said that he had encountered a bottleneck, that he could not create better songs, and then he couldn't break through, so he became more and more depressed, and finally got drunk every day, and never cheered up again, until he passed The money he earned was gradually squandered, and he gradually returned to normal. At this time, he regretted it and wanted to return to music production work, but no one needed him anymore."

Matsuhashi paused for a moment, and then went on to say: "Their family is living a hard life now, if he can find a job making music, he should be very happy."

Sounds like someone who was willing to go crazy for music when he was young, so maybe check it out.

Zhu Youxing became interested: "Bring me a copy of his music and let me listen to it. If it meets my standards, I'm willing to give him a job."

With Zhu Youxing's consent, Matsuhashi seemed to be very happy, and she quickly said: "Then I will thank you, President, on behalf of my friend. My friend is often worried about his brother, because my friend's brother once saw him Music is like life, but I wasted more than ten years because of my own reasons."

Zhu Youxing said: "You don't need to thank me, I just said it and listened to it. If he meets the requirements, it means that he has the ability, and it has nothing to do with whether I agree or not. If he is not capable, then your recommendation will not matter." to much effect."

Zhu Yuxing attaches great importance to the soundtrack of Final Fantasy.

In Final Fantasy, music is one of the souls. It is far more important than the soundtrack of many games. It is a feature of Final Fantasy. If the soundtrack cannot be found, he would rather not make this game.

The next day, Matsuhashi brought over the tapes of her friend's brother.

Looking at the packaging of the tape, it is obvious that it is the kind of work that has not been released to the public. On the label of the tape is written a name: Makoto Sakai.

He is sure that he has never heard of this name, even the original owner does not remember it, it seems that it really should be just a little famous.

"President, the third song among them is his most proud work, and it is also the last song he created. After that, he has not created any more works."

Zhu Youxing stuffed the tape into the tape machine while listening, and asked at the same time: "If you haven't created works for more than ten years, will you gradually become unfamiliar?"

"This... I'm not sure either." Matsuhashi answered honestly.

She is just trying now to see if she can help a group of friends.

But if it really doesn't meet Zhu Youxing's standards, she can fully understand that the president is a person who strives for perfection, otherwise he wouldn't have created such a classic video game.

"Let's listen to it first."

Zhu Youxing then pressed the play button.

After a stabbing sound, a male voice cleared his throat, and soon the soft humming sound began to sound slowly along with the guitar.

This person's voice is not very good, but the rhythm and tone of his playing the guitar are quite good, which largely makes up for the disadvantage of his own voice. voice.

The performance has raised the singing voice, which was originally only five or six points, to seven or eight points, which is already quite rare.

The first one is sung with only guitar accompaniment.

Zhu Youxing thought it was pretty good, especially the guitar he played was really unique.

However, the music of Final Fantasy is not guitar-based, and he intends to continue to listen to it.

The next piece is a violin solo. The overall music sounds very comfortable, giving people a feeling of walking in the sun, relaxed and at ease. He is indeed a very good composer.

What kind of bottleneck would such a person encounter?

Zhu Youxing is not a composer either, so he doesn't quite understand these, so he can only listen to it again.

"It's not bad. The performance of these two pieces of music is quite good. Speaking of which, how old is your friend's brother?"

"Already forty years old."

Did some well-known composers more than ten years ago encounter bottlenecks?

Then it is really difficult to make yourself remember, unless it is the kind of person who is really a household name, it is possible to impress people.

This short-lived composer is easily overlooked.

Then, Zhu Youxing played the next piece of music.

This time, it is no longer the performance of one instrument, but an ensemble of multiple instruments.

This piece of music is also more than half of the level. It should be played with a performance device such as an electronic piano. The overall music style has a hint of dreaminess and confusion.

Since this is the last piece of music he made and also his most proud piece, then he should have sensed his own bottleneck at this time, and then expressed it in the music.

This is very qualified music, which can already meet the standard of Zhuyouxing for Final Fantasy music.

It wasn't that the music producers were not good enough, it was mainly because Zhu Youxing always felt that they didn't fit the psychedelic and somewhat new style of Final Fantasy.

Some music styles are too gentle, some are either too old or too modern, and they are not interesting, but this one is at least above the passing line of my own standard, which is about eight points, and may not be perfect. But if this person is willing to accept my own training and let him compose and perform according to his own designated style, there should be a chance to improve to more than nine points, then he can already be compared with the previous Final Fantasy queen musician Nobuo Uematsu.

When the third piece of music ended, Sakai's real voice came from the tape.

"Thank you for listening, thank you very much, if there are any shortcomings, please feel free to point out, I am willing to do my best to do my best."

The sound ended and the tape came to an end.

Song Qiaoshi looked at Zhu Youxing with a trace of expectation.

"President, what do you think?"

Zhu Youxing was thinking.

He was still wondering if Sakai really met his requirements.

Eight points is not low.

It should be really difficult to find someone with nine points at the beginning, who is comparable to Nobuo Uematsu, the queen musician of Final Fantasy.

So, choose this one?

Well, just this one, if you want to find a more suitable one, I'm afraid it's like winning the lottery, besides, it can be adjusted in the future.

But I just don't know if this person is a proud and arrogant person. If he is such a person, it's not good.

"I think it's good. Let him come over sometime. I want to see it with my own eyes." Zhu Youxing said with a smile.

Matsuhashi breathed a sigh of relief.

Her friend had entrusted herself to help her brother find a suitable job for a long time, and now it seemed that there was finally hope, and she felt very happy.
