The connection effect between the first two listeners was good, and the atmosphere in the broadcast room was getting better and better.
After hanging up the second call, Jennifer chatted with Zhou Yan about the concert for a while, and then started to answer the third call.
"Let's see who the third lucky audience member is today..."
Soon the call was connected, and a boy's voice came from the other side.
“Y, I don’t want to learn piano anymore.”
There was no warning, the boy said this directly.
Hearing what the little boy said, Zhou Yan and Jennifer were both a little confused.
Jennifer raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "It seems that he is a young man who is learning piano. Did he encounter difficulties when learning piano?"
"I feel like I don't play the piano. I have a lot of talent, but my mother forced me to learn piano. Sometimes I want to jump off the second floor like the protagonist in "The Flying Piano Boy." The boy's voice sounded frustrated.
Jennifer was startled by the little boy's words. She quickly comforted her, "There will definitely be difficulties in learning a musical instrument, but as long as you succeed, it will be worth it."
She tried to use the gentlest tone to comfort the boy, but Zhou Yan knew that her words would not have any effect.
Sure enough, when he heard Jennifer's words, the little boy became even more frustrated, "What you said is the same as what my mother said."
One sentence left Jennifer at a loss. Her professionalism The level is very good, but there is no experience in dealing with these children.
But in this situation, she had to do something. If the little boy really lost his mind and did something stupid, she would have to blame herself for the rest of her life. And if something really happened, their radio station would definitely be criticized by public opinion. .
Others in the studio are also very nervous. The listening rate of their program is very good now. If something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this time, many listeners were standing in front of the radio with nervous expressions on their faces. The boy's condition sounded very bad. The key was that they could do nothing and could only count on Jennifer and the others.
No one expected that a good music exchange program would turn into a psychological counseling program.
In the broadcast room, seeing Jennifer at her wits' end, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Hey, you haven't introduced yourself yet. Now you know my and Jennifer's names, but we don't know yours, right? Very unfair?"
"Sorry, my name is David."
"Hello, David, are you in middle school now?"
"Yes, I am in eighth grade."
"How many years have you been learning piano?"
"Nine years."
"Then your piano must be better than mine I play well, but I played a bamboo flute since elementary school. Do you know what a bamboo flute is?”
“Yeah, I know, I bought one, but I can’t play it well.”
"It's normal. When I first learned the bamboo flute, it took me a long time to barely be able to play the sound."
"Yeah, it's really difficult."
Listen When it came to the conversation between Zhou Yan and David, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, and the audience also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhou Yan was very good at chatting with teenagers.
David's tone also changed from the initial frustration to normal.
Actually, Zhou Yan doesn't have any skills. The main thing is that he is very relaxed and not as nervous as Jennifer.
When people have a conversation, they are easily affected by the other person's emotions, and since David is a fan of Zhou Yan's music, he will naturally give Zhou Yan face.
Zhou Yan doesn’t think David will do anything stupid. People who really want to commit suicide will not call the radio station specially. You must know that there are many people calling the radio station at this time, and they have to queue up. .
David is probably too bored with piano lessons and is not in a good mood. He needs someone to give him some advice.
This situation is too common among piano children. People who learn piano have different worries at each stage.
David has been studying piano for nine years, and his level should be very good. At this time, he is encountering more troubles, because he should consider whether to make a living by playing the piano.
If he gave up now, the previous nine years of persistence would seem to be in vain, but if he wanted to persist, he had no confidence, because there were too many geniuses, and there must be people who were more interested than him.
Zhou Yan continued to laugh and said, "Yes, it's too difficult. I remember when I was in middle school, I once wanted to break or burn the bamboo flute. But in the end, I still didn't want to give up and learned so much After playing the bamboo flute for many years, I have developed a deep affection for this instrument. If I asked you to smash the piano, would you do it? "
"Of course not," David said immediately.
"Yes, you would rather jump off a building than smash the piano. In addition to the piano, have you learned other instruments?"
"Well, the violin and the oboe are both I have learned it, but not too deeply. I am not a genius and it is difficult to take care of multiple instruments.”
It can be heard that David has little confidence in himself. This is also a problem faced by many piano children. Sometimes they will find that the more they learn piano, the more difficult it is, because the more they learn, the higher their requirements for themselves will be.
“Being able to study piano for nine years is already more than most people. I think you can now step out of the piano as an instrument and feel and think about music from a higher position. Of course the piano is very good , but it is just an instrument, a tool for expressing music. The ultimate purpose of learning piano is to experience the world through music.”
David was silent, probably thinking about Zhou Yan’s words, and Zhou Yanzhuan. The head asked Jennifer, "Do you have any musical instruments here?"
Jennifer nodded quickly, "Yes, violin, guitar, and keyboard."
There is a keyboard in the broadcasting room, Zhou Yan I saw it when I came here.
Zhou Yan nodded and said to Mai, "David, do you want to listen to music?"
"Of course." David said excitedly.
He had heard the conversation between Zhou Yan and Jennifer just now. From what he heard, did Zhou Yan want to play music for him?
The audience in front of the radio was also excited. They did not expect to encounter such benefits.
Zhou Yan nodded, walked to the keyboard and sat down, and then said to Jennifer, "Please go get a violin."
There was no need for Jennifer to move at all, as a staff member quickly came over with a violin.
Zhou Yan briefly tuned the piano, and then started tinkering with the keyboard again. While tinkering, he said, "It may take a little time, please be patient."
Then he spent In a few minutes, I recorded a drum section using the keyboard.
After the drum recording was finished, he picked up the violin and said, "This piece is for David and all the listeners of the radio."
Listening to what Zhou Yan said, Jennifer He asked in surprise, "Is it a new song?"
Zhou Yan smiled and did not answer. Instead, he pressed the play button on the keyboard, and a rhythmic drum sound sounded.
Then Zhou Yan stretched out his bow and strings, and started playing to the beat of the drums. In fact, there is a keyboard, so you can play without a violin, but Zhou Yan feels that the expressiveness of the keyboard's foley is far inferior to that of the violin. Since they have a violin here, they just use it.
Hearing the drum sound, Jennifer knew it must be a very light song. When the violin sounded, it also confirmed her idea.
The song is really light and full of youthful vitality.
Jennifer recalled when she was in middle school, and many images appeared in her mind. Sometimes she was playing with her friends on the playground, and sometimes she was chasing them on the way home on her bicycle.
There was also the beach they often went to. The sun was just right. They walked barefoot on the beach. When they looked back, the footprints and the sun became smaller and smaller.
Just as Jennifer was immersed in the memories of middle school, the melody suddenly changed and became high-pitched, like cheering or shouting. The contrast between the melody before and after is very big, which makes people feel very abrupt.
But the two melodies are excellent, and the theme of the song is a bit out of the ordinary, so this suddenly becomes reasonable, and can even be said to be dramatic.
It is very shocking to the ears, and the whole song becomes high-spirited and passionate.
At this time, Jennifer remembered the graduation party again, as if the cheers from the audience rang in her ears when she performed on stage.
Jennifer realized that the reason why Zhou Yan played such a piece of music was to inspire David.
With such a positive and uplifting song, people who listen to it can easily be infected by its positive energy.
While playing, Zhou Yan also felt regretful.
What he is playing now is the well-known song "weareyoung" by the fun band. The tune is positive and inspirational, and it is very infectious. Especially the shouting in the chorus part has a feeling of the theme song of a sports event.
And the reason why he regrets it is because this song sounds better when sung. Using drums and violins, there is no way to perfectly express its charm, but it is a pity that he can't sing.
Of course, only Zhou Yan himself could feel this shortcoming. Jennifer and the listeners in front of the radio were only shocked at this time.
......
Jack Williams was discussing work with the area director when the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He said sorry to the person in charge and then answered the phone. Pass.
My colleague Hardaman's voice came from the opposite side, "Boss, do you have a radio around you?"
Hardaman's words stunned Williams, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't Y participate in a radio show today? I was listening to it, and Y played a song."
Williams rolled his eyes, "Isn't it normal for him to play a song on the show?"
"It's a new song, and..."
" And what?”
"Boss, I suggest you listen to it yourself. The channel is..."
Williams felt that Hardaman was making a fuss, but when he saw a radio in the office of the area director, he said, "Can you bother me?" Turn on the radio and tune it to 102.7FM?”
The person in charge nodded: “Of course.”
After that, the person in charge went to turn on the radio and turned it to 102.7FM.
As soon as they tuned into this channel, they heard rhythmic drums and brisk violin.
"What is this?" the person in charge asked.
But Williams made a gesture not to speak. The person in charge quickly shut up, and then the two of them listened to the music quietly.
When they turned on the radio, three-quarters of a song had just been played, and there was still another quarter. They did not miss the climax.
When the highly contrasting melody sounded in the climax, Williams' eyes lit up. Isn't this the theme song they wanted?
Young, energetic and full of positive energy.
Even after hearing this song, Williams had already thought about how to shoot the commercial.
A group of young people are wearing their brand of shoes, and paired with this song, it fits perfectly.
After the music ended, the two heard crisp applause from the radio, and then heard the host Jennifer excitedly say, "It was so good, I was completely immersed in the melody. "
"Yes." Zhou Yan's voice came, "David, did you hear it?"
"I heard it, thank you, I feel better now. What’s the name and when will it be released?”
"This song is called "We Are Young". As for the release, there are no plans for the time being. Today's is just the first version, and I will improve the song later." Zhou Yan said.
......
Hearing the conversation between Zhou Yan and David, Williams also roughly understood what happened. It seemed that the boy was not in a good mood. In order to encourage him, Zhou Yancai played this piece.
“This is actually a song written on the spot.” The person in charge of the film area was surprised.
Williams also nodded. He knew that Zhou Yan was talented, but he didn't expect that he would be so good.
This is good news for them, because it means that the song "We Are Young" has not yet found its home, and we hope to win this song.
Thinking of this, Williams did not hesitate and called Hardaman directly.
"Hardaman, wait until the show is over and contact Y as soon as possible."
Hearing what Williams said, Hardaman knew that he must have listened to the show, "Boss, this song Is the song particularly suitable for our advertisement?”
“Yes, it’s your fault.”
"Haha, don't worry, boss. I will contact Y after the show ends soon."
Williams thought for a while and said, "It's hard to contact Y, so I'd better contact his agent Zhang Youan directly. You Keep listening to the show. If there are any special trends, please report to me at any time."
"Okay, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Williams called Zhang You. Ann made a phone call.
After the call was connected, Williams smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Williams from New Balance."
"Oh, hello Mr. Williams, I have already told Y about the theme song, and he said he will seriously consider it."
After receiving a call from Williams, Zhang Youan also said that this guy is really I was anxious, so I called again and called again.
"Mr. Zhang, I am calling this time because I want to buy "We Are Young"."
"We are Young?"
Zhang Youan did not listen to "We Are Young" Music World" and had no idea what Williams was talking about.
"This is a song that Y played live on "Music World". I think it is very suitable for our brand."
Now Zhang Youan was even more confused. Zhou Yan was going to participate in a radio show, why did he play the new song live? Song?
And Williams, as the operations director of New Balance, was so concerned about Zhou Yan’s movements that he even listened to the radio programs that Zhou Yan participated in.
"This... I have to understand the situation with Y first." Now that he doesn't know anything, he naturally can't talk to Williams.
Williams expressed his understanding, "Okay, then I would like to trouble you to find out more about it first, and we will talk about it later. Please believe in our sincerity."
"Well, I definitely believe it."
After hanging up the phone with Williams, Zhang Youan turned on the radio and tuned to "Music World". At this time, David's phone had already hung up, and the host Jennifer was talking to Zhou Yan about the new song "We Are Young" he just played. (End of this chapter)
