Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Of course, for a few of them now, that’s 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 and sound effects synthesis, but also include some audio format conversion, voice recording, editing, etc.

Another very important task is to review the songs.

A major music company like Jinye Records, one of the top in the country, receives 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 a professional team.

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

This is not a very pleasant job.

The quality of the songs is so bad.

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

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?

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!

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

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

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.

Where have you gone?

There are still many songs waiting for preliminary review.

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

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

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

"Not yet, they are all rubbish."

"Oh, go ahead."

"Um."

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.

The song is called "The Age of Justice"

The lyrics are very burning:

I want to see my heart

I want to see how life spurts out plasma

Then come and experience the wind and frost alone

resist without giving up

I conjure up hope for the scarlet association

It sighs deeply, alive, like a wolf

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

It's just that the voice is pretty good.

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.

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

This is a bit difficult.

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

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 was quite satisfied with this morning. He soon sent it to Li Wei and Luo Yun for cross-review.

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.

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

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.

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 walked out of the office to the stairs today, he saw Luo Yun in an OL skirt walking downstairs. She hurriedly called him when she saw him. live.

"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.

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

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

"You agreed?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"How can I do that? Let's go have a meal 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.

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 let our company's singers sing it. It would definitely work. fire. "

"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.

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

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

"Okay, I won't listen to the rest of the songs in the past two days. Just you and Li Wei check it out." Yu Dongqing replied.

Stop ruining your ears.

"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.

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

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

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

However, I heard that Shiba Mo has always existed, and it is a ditty passed down by 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.
