Chapter 300 If the budget is not enough, add more!
The next morning.
Xia Lian stood outside the CEO's office holding a freshly released music demo, waiting for Mr. Qin's summons.
Although she had listened to Mr. Qin's instructions, Xia Lian was still feeling a little uneasy at this time. She always felt invisible pressure when facing Mr. Qin as her boss.
It has nothing to do with the legendary coercion of superiors in Boss Ba's novels. It just feels like Boss Qin has a sense of oppression and distrust when he looks at her.
The feeling of distrust is understandable. After all, the two parties are not familiar with each other. It is natural for a boss to feel this way about his employees, especially those who have no achievements.
But it seems that Mr. Qin is different, just plain distrustful.
What makes Xia Lian nervous is that this boss's thinking is a bit... strange.
The statement of high emotional intelligence is unreasonable, while the statement of low emotional intelligence is just a matter of imagination.
The most terrible thing is that the boss always directly intervenes in the project. It would be fine if the boss really knows what he is doing, but most of the bosses who do this do not understand.
Life as a worker is really hard.
Xia Lian sighed and then yawned. She stayed up until 1 o'clock last night in order to edit the music demo as quickly as possible, and she is still a little sleepy now.
At this time, the office area of the campus network was already busy, and the employees maintained a tense and energetic atmosphere. Everyone was concentrating on their work, and there was no sense of relaxation at all.
Programmers are discussing technical issues fiercely, and product managers are talking about all kinds of unintelligible vocabulary.
This enthusiastic atmosphere of struggle also infected Xia Lian. She took a deep breath and cheered herself up.
come on! effort!
Xia Lian regained her energy and walked into the office. Mr. Qin raised his head and glanced at her, "Is the music demo out?"
"Yes, I cut it out overnight yesterday and asked Mr. Qin to Let's taste it." Xia Lian immediately put the tape on the table.
Qin Shaoyan took a Walkman, inserted the tape into the card slot, pressed the play button, closed his eyes and listened to the music inside.
“That’s wrong.” Qin Shaoyan suddenly opened his eyes, “It feels wrong, this is not what I want!”
Xia Lian almost collapsed when she heard this. She was most afraid of hearing this.
Why does it feel wrong?
Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Didn't I tell you before?"
"We need four musical instruments: satar, flute, guzheng and suona. We need to combine these four musical instruments. The musical instruments are perfectly blended together. "
"It should reflect the desolate vastness of the northwest desert, the generous elegies of the land of Yanzhao, the grace and softness of the Jiangnan water town, and the majesty of the suona. ”
"What are these, mixed and matched together?"
Xia Lian was a little nervous, "This is completely based on your opinion. I asked them to make three versions, and finally they recommended this one. Come out."
"This won't work! It's a mess." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Maybe I didn't make it clear before. I'll tell you in detail now."
"The song starts with a Sattar solo. This feeling is like the desolate desert in the northwest, coupled with the vastness of the grassland, the bright moon rising from the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds."
"But the guzheng takes over. , the guzheng tune here is soft, artificial, and fills the entire background, distorting the entire style of the music. ”
"After the guzheng comes the flute, which should be brisk and loud, with the heroic spirit of the sword spanning thirty thousand miles."
"Then it is followed by the satar. Don't stop the guzheng and the flute, highlight the satar."
< br>“The melody gradually rises, and at the climax, the suona appears out of nowhere. It must have the momentum of a rooster singing and the world will be white, overpowering other instruments.”
“The last quarter is composed of four instruments. Ensemble."
Xia Lian was stunned after listening to the whole thing. She is not a musician. She couldn't say whether the items listed by Mr. Qin were good or not, but the needs were made very clear.
"Mr. Qin, this has very high technical requirements for the performers, so we probably need to invite some musical instrument masters."
"Please do it, don't consider the cost." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "Our company doesn't care about the cost when it comes to publicity!" "I'll give you an additional two million budget to hire the best performing masters, the best tuners, and the best recording studio in Beijing. Show the best effect."
"We are already negotiating with CCTV to buy prime time advertisements for broadcast."
"Director Xia, this is. It is to be broadcast to the people of the country and shown to the whole world. We must do our best!”
“If we can’t even do well in the National Games events, how can the organization trust us with the Olympic events?!”
Olympic Games? !
When Xia Lian heard this, her whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body was numb.
Are we still going to take on Olympic sports?
I am just a young director, a bastard in the entertainment industry, how dare He De to take on a promotional project for the Olympics.
Mr. Qin, you think highly of me too much.
“Don’t be stunned, hurry up and get it done.” Qin Shaoyan said seriously, “Our three coal boss shareholders also attach great importance to this matter. Please submit an application with the budget you want, and I will directly I’ll give it to you.”
“If you do it well, you’ll get a bonus, paid leave, and a seven-day trip to the Maldives.”
Xia Lian stood up and bowed immediately, “Thank you, Mr. Qin. Take it seriously, I’ll do it right now”
……
With encouragement from her boss, Xia Lian quickly became more confident.
Coupled with the additional budget of two million, Xia Lian became stronger when she had money, and she dared to speak louder.
Photographers for MV shooting are easy to find. It depends on how many people are in the entertainment industry. It is not difficult to contact a good photographer. Plus Xia Lian has a sufficient budget, it is even easier.
The photography team, lighting team, and makeup and styling team were quickly assembled.
Recording studios are easier to find, and as long as you have money for hardware, it’s not a problem.
The only problem now is how to find a suitable folk music master, who must be at the national level. Money alone will not do this.
We still have to let the masters cooperate to find the feeling that Mr. Qin said.
She started making frantic phone calls, using all the connections she could use to ask for help.
For the sake of my classmates, give me a hand!
After working for a few days, Xia Lian finally managed to get four folk music masters and invited them into the recording studio.
The four masters were surprised at first when they saw Mr. Qin's request, and then several people started a heated discussion, which lasted all afternoon with no results.
So the four masters made a request to Xia Lian and wanted to talk to Mr. Qin in person to talk about what kind of music he had in mind.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so heated, Xia Lian had no choice but to call Mr. Qin and ask him to take action.
Qin Shaoyan happily attended the appointment and came to the recording studio to meet the needs of the four masters.
When it comes to music score knowledge, performance, and musical instruments, Qin Shaoyan is a complete layman. He just has a few bad money.
But being rich these days is a great thing, and Qin Shaoyan also used the title of National Games public service announcement, so the four masters naturally tried their best to meet his needs.
After Qin Shaoyan talked about his needs, he also hummed for a while, letting the masters find their feelings.
After the masters discussed for a while, they began to study how to arrange music collectively.
The two sides studied while looking for feelings. After more than ten rounds of discussion, they finally found the feeling Qin Shaoyan wanted.
It stayed until midnight, and finally we had a preliminary version.
