Platinum Key of Rebirth

"Stop joking, okay?" Shen Yuezhi closed the file, "I'm serious about this competition."

Sitting opposite Shen Yuezhi was the famous music composer Yu Lai. He was over fifty, but he couldn't tell from his appearance at all. People who didn't know him would probably just regard him as a mature man in his early thirties.

Yu Lai's expression was a little happy, anyway, such an expression of Hongyu's young boss is rare, because most of the time, he is the one making jokes.Yu Lai had originally signed a contract with Hongyu, where the conditions and development are more favorable, and this competition is also attracting attention, the preparatory work has been completed, and the TV draft work has also started.

Of course, this competition is aimed at young people under the age of 25, and will focus on the current students of major conservatories.

There is no doubt that the music industry needs new vigor and enthusiasm. More importantly, Hongyu's qualifications are nothing compared to established music companies.Its own resources are limited. If it does not train new people, its future development is really in doubt.

The development of such a music company must rely on the power of youth. To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry feeds on youth.

But now, they have screened all the scores, and then selected excellent ones for the next stage of the TV show. They have built up their momentum, but now they are facing a problem.

"This piece is very good. If you let him go, it is a loss to the entire music industry." Yu Lai tapped the folder on Shen Yuezhi's desk with his fingers.Here is the score of a piece of music, if there is no accident, the winner of this competition should be this piece of music, "I don't know what you are hesitating, if this person misses this time, but next time he will definitely be there Success elsewhere."

Shen Yuezhi didn't know anything about writing lyrics and composing music, so he could only ask the experts again: "Is this song really that good? Is it possible that no one else can get No.1 except this one?"

"Ask for my opinion? I've already told you my opinion," Yu Lai spread his hands, "This song is very good. Without this song, I don't care about those No.1s."

Shen Yuezhi narrowed her eyes, did not speak, walked back to her desk and sat down, facing Yu Lai.This is not the first time that Yu Lai has hosted such competitions. Most of them are in his name. This person knows the operation of the entertainment industry by heart, so we can't expect him to devote much enthusiasm to these competitions. . "Talent, talent, this kind of thing is just a gimmick." This sentence was said by Yu Lai himself, but now, he seems to intend to overthrow his usual principles, so he appears here.

Yu Lai's vision can't be wrong, he thinks it's good, and he's willing to make an exception for it. Naturally, he has something unique. As the manager of the company, he can't let go of such a talent.

However, Shen Yuezhi also had his own difficulties, he asked: "Can you tell me what is so good about this song?"

When Yu Lai heard it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Would you like to listen to it? I especially recommend you start from the second section..."

"No," Shen Yuezhi immediately stopped him, "I just want to know the reason why it won the award. If it is perfect enough, I will hear it sooner or later."

"Yes..." Yu Lai sighed, "You know the current pop music, most of them are catchy and the melody is natural, most of the time you can even take it for granted... But you can easily remember this kind of music , and can be easily forgotten, even rock and roll are taking this route, I really don’t know what the composers are doing now..."

"The important point." Shen Yuezhi interrupted him.

Yu Lai coughed lightly. He is a giant in music. Few people would speak to him like this now, but the boss can always make an exception: "The melody is great, I can say it belongs to classical music , but with a youthful atmosphere...Of course, if you want to release this song, you need to find a good team. I'm afraid you can't handle it now. Of course, you have to choose experienced lyrics. I have a few lists, you can choose one time……"

He seemed to be planning to package this song. Before Shen Yuezhi could express his opinion, Yu Lai applied in advance: "If possible, give this song to me for packaging, and I promise..."

"Do you think this song..." Shen Yuezhi considered the words carefully, and then asked cautiously, "Maybe it's...uh, borrowed from it...?"

"Borrow..." Yu Lai was stunned, a little dazed, obviously he had never thought of this question, he thought for a while and said, "I don't think so, if it was borrowed, then the song he borrowed has long been It’s red, neither me nor my team has heard of it.”

Shen Yuezhi was silent for a while, but still shook her head.

Yu Lai was depressed: "Is this because of unspoken rules? No. 1 is pre-determined? It doesn't matter, No. 2 is also fine."

Shen Yuezhi continued to shake his head, Yu Lai's complexion became worse and worse, and finally before he decided to say "I quit", Shen Yuezhi said softly: "Usually, this person is playing with unspoken rules. people."

Yu Lai didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so he asked, "Can you explain it in Mandarin, I can understand it."

Shen Yuezhi sighed: "Young Master Fei, as far as I know, he's not a musician."

Yu Lai felt that the name Fei Lan was a bit familiar, but he didn't associate this talented composer with that slutty playboy.Now he finally understood Shen Yuezhi's embarrassment.This piece of music can't be written without immersion in music for more than 20 or [-] years. Although I heard that the dude has restrained himself recently, it is obvious that even if he studied music diligently since he was a child, he might not be able to write such a piece.

"Could it be someone with the same name and surname?" Yu Lai asked.

Shen Yuezhi shook her head: "Even if they have the same name and surname, they won't even have the same home address, right?"

"Why would that be? Did he help others or...?"

"I don't know, so I'm hesitant," Shen Yuezhi said with some headaches, "Is he trying to mess with me or something...?"

"Go and ask and you'll know," Yu Lai stood up. Since this was the reason, he couldn't intervene. Let the boss figure out a solution for himself.He made a gesture to indicate that he was ready to leave, and before leaving, he hesitated and said: "Anyway, this is a great piece of music, and I hope it can be seen by more people."

"This... I can't guarantee it." Shen Yuezhi said with a wry smile.

So, in the afternoon before the start of the new semester, Shen Yuezhi visited Fei's house.

"Where's your sister?" Shen Yuezhi pretended to ask casually when she saw Fei Lan walking out of the living room.

Still holding a glass of wine in his hand, Fei Lan was a little surprised at the appearance of this man, but after a little dazed, he shrugged helplessly: "Missing."

"Did you call the police?" Shen Yuezhi walked to the living room with ease, and put the briefcase aside, "What did the police say?"

"The police said she might be back tomorrow," Fei Lan turned around and saw that Shen Yuezhi occupied the entire sofa, so she had to sit cross-legged on another single sofa, and then picked up the wine bottle to signal to Shen Yuezhi.

Shen Yuezhi quickly refused: "I have to go to the company later, so let's avoid it."

"Oh." Fei Lan put down the bottle obediently, not knowing what the other party was looking for.

Shen Yuezhi glanced at Fei Lan, who didn't seem to understand what he meant by coming.Speaking of Fei Yuexin, it is true that she cannot be contacted, and there are some rumors around that she is indeed missing, but seeing Fei Lan like this, it should be just a business trip.Shen Yuezhi thinks that Fei Lan is usually a fool and does not do his job properly, but he is more serious about his sister's affairs. Since he is still joking, it must not be a big problem.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Shen Yuezhi didn't speak, Fei Lan asked, "Could you just drop by and sit down?"

Shen Yuezhi took out the score from the briefcase, put it on the coffee table in front of them, and pushed it to Fei Lan's glass: "Is this yours?"

Fei Lan picked it up, glanced at it, and his expression became complicated: "Where did you get it?"

Shen Yuezhi thought about many expressions that the other party would show, but he never thought of this kind of confusion, doubt and seriousness. He took a deep breath: "This is a song for a composition competition, and my person in charge insists that it is No.1 material."

Fei Lan frowned, folded the score and put it aside: "I quit this competition."

Shen Yuezhi looked at him silently, but her mind was spinning rapidly. What did the other party mean by saying this... What does it mean?It sounded like he didn't know beforehand that the piece was in the competition, so he said bluntly, "I don't understand what you mean."

Fei Lan really didn't know that his piece had participated in that competition. In fact, he only found out that his piece was lost last week. To be precise, he lost it after Professor Vince's visit. As for the difference between the two If there is some kind of close connection between them, then he can't make a judgment.But now it seems that the probability of Professor Vince taking it for submission is quite high.

The thing is, Professor Vince was very dissatisfied with Fei Lan for not contacting him to play the violin during such a good winter vacation, so every time he came to find fault, Fei Lan would tactfully reject Vince on the grounds that he was composing music. .But this method can be used once or twice. After a long time, something must be produced, for example, a piece of music that is being created.

Fei Lan had no choice but to show Vince the piece.

"It's already perfect, I don't think there's any need to improve it," Professor Vince praised the piece, "I think it can be used in the competition, if you need a recommender..." He glanced at the piece he was playing. Lei Xiu, the piano player, finally sighed and said, "I think it's better to write Lei Xiu's name."

"I'll think about it," Fei Lan said.In fact, although he had the idea of ​​eager to try, he knew that he would not participate.No one believed that an idle dandy could compose music, nor did he himself, the temptation was too dangerous.

But obviously, Professor Vince didn't think so, so this piece of music appeared in Shen Yuezhi's hands.

Fortunately, Shen Yuezhi didn't announce it directly, but came here first to ask what he meant. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little better for Shen Yuezhi, thinking that the next time my sister slanders him again, she must stand up and say a few words for him !

Putting the good feelings aside, some questions still need to be asked: "I just... listen to what you mean, has anyone else watched this song?"

Shen Yuezhi nodded: "I don't know anything about music, since it's in front of me, it's naturally the best."

Fei Lan shook his head: "Sorry, this song... shouldn't appear there." He looked up and saw Shen Yuezhi's face was a little unhappy, he picked up the wine bottle, and tapped the bottle gently on the glass: " Lei Xiu knows a lot of good composers, if you need, I will let him introduce you..."

All Lei Xiu knew were world-class masters. He was just a pop music company in China, and he didn't need those masters to write songs, let alone he didn't have such a big wrist to sing.

Shen Yuezhi said that she didn't need it, which made Fei Lan feel even more sorry.

"Could it be that Lei Xiu wrote this piece of music?" Shen Yuezhi suddenly felt that he had grasped the point, which made sense, after all, the second young master of Lei's family lived in Fei's house.

Fei Lan felt a little embarrassed, but obviously this was also a solution: "If you must think so..." As soon as he said that, Lei Xiu came down from the second floor.He was called back to Lei's house last night, and he didn't come back until early morning, and of course he slept until the afternoon.He was wearing pajamas and walked down in a daze, probably because he was hungry and came looking for something to eat.

The Lei family has always been low-key and difficult to get close to, so Shen Yuezhi would not give up any chance to impress the Lei family. He stood up quickly, showing his usual impeccable smile: "Good afternoon, Young Master Lei."

Lei Xiu was in a daze when he heard someone tell him to nod his head, walked over, and sat down beside Fei Lan: "I'm hungry."

"It seems that there are still some pizzas...I'll go to heat them up," Fei Lan smiled at Shen Yuezhi, "I'll be back soon."

Shen Yuezhi nodded, and put the sheet music next to Lei Xiu into Lei Xiu's hands: "Master Lei, is this yours?"

Lei Xiu picked it up and tried to identify it while dozing off, then threw it to Shen Yuezhi: "It's not mine, it's Xiaolan's..."

"My friend!" Fei Lan had almost walked to the kitchen, saw the scene there, and ran over to answer quickly.

Lei Xiu scratched his somewhat messy hair: "Which friend are you? Isn't this yours...?"

Seeing Fei Lan's warning eyes, Lei Xiu wisely shut up, but still asked without giving up: "Then my pizza."

"It's gone." Fei Lan was depressed.

Lei Xiu was even more depressed, he stretched his waist and stood up: "Forget it, I'll go heat it myself."
