Relying on Liang

In the following days, not only Lei Zhen, but also Zhong Yunqing, who had been idle for more than half a month due to injury, also became busy.

Half of the deadline given by the producer Mu Liancheng has passed, and he and other members of the group still have six new songs to complete. In addition, the two music production contracts won by manager Wu Wei for them made the group feel anxious. Very busy.

Among them, for the theme music on the landing interface of the new expansion pack of "Tongtian Online", the Order of the Phoenix submitted three alternative demos that met the requirements after listening to the feedback from the game production staff a few days ago. After selection by the game company, the two parties finally finalized Among them, the song "A Thousand Miles of Happy Wind".

This piece of music was created in the second year after the establishment of the Order of the Phoenix, and it can be regarded as one of their more mature works.

The opening scene is accompanied by the sound of thunder, lightning, wind and rain, the thundering roar of fighting, and the rapid drumming of horseshoes. After that, the agitated flute music goes straight to the sky, and the clouds break through the sky in an instant.The refreshing and passionate melody and music atmosphere of the whole song are very in line with the game purpose of the new expansion pack Mozun, after the update, the heroes of the world gather, and all the players in the server work together to eliminate demons and defend the way.

However, another commercial song for a jewelry brand did not go so smoothly.

The "Scent under the Moon" demo submitted by the Order of the Phoenix yesterday was the same as the "Butterfly Dance" that was sent before, but was returned by the other company for the same reason - it did not conform to the spirit of the brand's series design.

What is the spirit of design, that is too mysterious.The group members discussed and felt that since they took over the job, they must satisfy the other party.With a serious and responsible attitude, they decided to take a trip and have a face-to-face communication with the designer of the high-end jewelry brand.

The phone call was made, and the other party's reply arrived quickly, allowing them to go there today.

The jewelry company is also located in the Wanghai downtown business district, so it's not far away.After entering the reception room and sitting there for a long time, Zhong Yunqing and the others saw a woman of medium stature, wearing glasses, and a very gentle appearance come in.

"Hello, I'm the chief designer of the Four Seasons series. My surname is Zheng, Zheng Lu." As the woman spoke, she approached and shook hands with everyone in the Order of the Phoenix.

This Ms. Zheng looks to be in her early thirties, her hair is a very well-maintained bob, with a streak of burgundy dyed on her forehead, her round face, and her facial features with light makeup are ordinary, but when combined together, there is a unique look Amiable temperament.She was very polite and courteous, and she hardly put on airs. Before she came, the members of the Order of the Phoenix, who had already prepared for a tough battle, were a little surprised.

"Hello." Since he was so polite, of course he didn't have to act like a hedgehog. Zhong Yunqing immediately smiled and shook Zheng Lu's hand.

Seeing Zhong Er smiling, other people probably couldn't help but take a second look, but that Ms. Zheng's reaction was unexpected, as if she was not affected by Zhong Yunqing's face at all.After shaking hands with him very calmly, he sat down, put the suitcase in the other hand on the coffee table in a businesslike manner, and unlocked it in front of everyone.

When the box was opened, against the backdrop of the indoor lighting and the black velvet lining, the set of radiant and bright jewels was so dazzling that people couldn’t open their eyes. Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, pearls, black jadeites, and rare and expensive gemstones were carefully covered. Polished, cut and inlaid into a variety of elegant and unique shapes, displayed inside the box, like a piece of peerless art for people to appreciate.

"What you see are some of the finished products of our company's new series this time. Since they haven't been officially launched yet, I hope that after watching today, everyone here will not disclose any news to the outside world." Facing the admiring gazes of everyone, Zheng Lu first said: I made a solemn statement, which is considered to be the first to say the ugly words.

For any creative work, it is most taboo for others to copy or borrow their own creative ideas to be ahead. Zhong Er and the others naturally understand this better than anyone else.

After a short pause, Ms. Zheng returned to the topic and continued to explain the concept and essence of this design to everyone in detail, "The four seasons, as the name suggests, refer to spring, summer, autumn and winter, so the whole series is subdivided into four sets of finished products. The green series focuses on spring. Red is for summer, gold for autumn, and white and black for winter.”

Ms. Zheng put on her gloves and carefully took out a hairpin in the shape of a plum branch.

The slender and elegant hairpin body exudes a simple color. The hairpin body is hollowed out in the shape of petals. Near the wide part of the top, the central stamen of each hollowed out plum blossom is dotted with a circle of tiny emeralds.

On the top of the hairpin, there are two branches, big and small, scattered with a few snow-white plum blossoms, each petal is different, and the mood is stretched.The stamens of the white jade plum blossoms are more three-dimensional, with trembling slender gold threads surrounding a slightly larger emerald gem in the middle, and a small drop-shaped diamond in the stamen of one of them.Because of this miracle, the whole hairpin seemed to have life in an instant. With the slight movement of Zheng Lu's hand, the diamonds shone like the morning dew condensed on the petals in the early morning garden.

"It's so beautiful..." The little assistant Zhou Beibei beside her couldn't help admiring the beauty-loving nature of girls.

Hearing her straightforward praise, as the designer of the Four Seasons series, Ms. Zheng also chuckled, and carefully put the plum branch hairpin back into the box.Afterwards, she raised her head and said to Zhong Yunqing and the others: "This time, for the Four Seasons series, we tried to use ancient methods, no matter the shape, texture, or artistic conception we want to express. After hearing your works, I feel that the four seasons series fits perfectly with the spirit of the design.”

Finally came to the most important point, now Zhong Yunqing and others didn't even have time to appreciate the jewelry, they all sat up straight, ready to listen to what this Ms. Zheng had to say next.

"After the Four Seasons series comes out, it will only accept reservations from customers and will not be sold to the public. However, the company is still planning to launch a month-long advertisement in Europe, the United States, and various places in Asia." This involves Zheng Lu's senior She did not elaborate on the future strategic direction of the jewelry customization company.

As soon as the subject changed, Ms. Zheng straight to the point to the Phoenix Society and her team: "Because the whole company attaches great importance to this advertisement, we can't be sloppy in any part. We listened carefully to the demo song that everyone sent earlier, it's very beautiful. It sounds beautiful, but it seems that it is still a little bit close to perfectly expressing this series of situations of changing seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter."

As soon as Zheng Lu's words came out, the entire reception room fell silent.

Even Zhong Er lowered his head and began to frown in thought.What Zheng Lu said is right. The two demos submitted earlier, "Butterfly Dance" has the warm atmosphere of spring flowers, and "Scent under the Moon" also has the artistic conception of clear autumn and cold moon, cold fragrance and undercurrent. If the different seasons of summer, autumn and winter are fully reflected in one piece of music, no matter which capital it is, it is far from enough.

"Ms. Zheng, we have understood your company's opinion very well today. Please give us a little more time. After we go back, we will prepare a new song as soon as possible." Zhong Er was about to speak after thinking about it. Glaring at him, then turning his head, he spoke seriously to Zheng Lu.

Compared with the funny version of the rhetoric prepared by Zhong Er, the tone and appearance are really very high-end and upscale.

Zheng Lu, who was opposite them, also seemed to be relieved, and immediately smiled and said: "There is no rush, and there is still some time before the full set of accessories of the Four Seasons series will be available. You can calm down and take your time."

After chatting and greeting for a while, Zhong Yunqing and the others got up and said goodbye in order not to disturb Zheng Lu's work.

Zheng Lu personally sent them to the elevator door before waving goodbye.

As the elevator doors slowly closed in front of this Ms. Zheng, her smiling and kind face quickly collapsed, and she became very cold and indifferent in an instant.

Holding the jewelry box in one hand and dialing the mobile phone in the other, when the voice of hello came from the other end of the phone, the expression on Zheng Lu's face immediately turned cautious again. She turned her back and walked towards the safe, facing The mobile phone replied: "Yes, I have met the person. Um, yes, um, understand, I will follow the plan."

At the other end, Zhong Yunqing and the others got into the car, and they immediately got together again and began to discuss and prepare for their fifth new song.After seeing those eye-catching high-end custom-made jewelry, a group of people who were originally at a loss had some vague ideas and outlines.

"Why don't we just call it Shana Fanghua?" Zhong Yunqing's eyes lit up, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

The four seasons are like songs, and the moment of youth is indeed a good name.The group members decided on the name of the new song, and began to discuss the tone and melody of the whole song.

After this meeting, the Order of the Phoenix went all out. Apart from sleeping and eating every day, they just got together to rehearse and compose music, and occasionally arguments broke out.

Time slipped away like that, Corn was in charge of the arrangement of western musical instruments, Zhong Er was in charge of traditional ancient music, and at the same time, the communication with the lady surnamed Zheng from the jewelry company was still in progress.This is the case with commercial songs. After all, it is different from being able to create whatever you want when you are not debuting.In this way, Zhong Er and the others refer to each other's feedback while making constant revisions, trying to find the best balance between commercial value and artistry.

This point is obvious and not so easy to find.Finally, three days later, the Order of the Phoenix, which had barely taken a break because of this matter, completed the preliminary completion of the entire song "Instant Youth".

Although the other party said that they could take their time, but they still had a few other debts on their backs, how could Zhong Er and the others not be in a hurry when they thought of Mu Liancheng's face like a debt collector who shuddered?

Over the past few days, they have been staying in the underground rehearsal room of Lei Zhen's house day and night. The group members who only sleep for four or five hours a day, all lack sleep, and have two dark circles under their eyes.After successfully emailing the latest demos to the mailbox of the other party's company, they didn't say a word, and fell asleep on the floor of the rehearsal room as if it were their own bed at home.
