Chapter 128 It's Interesting
Qin Ji's life began to get busy. There were endless announcements every day, and he either went to the radio station or the TV station. But just like this, his publicity team was still a little dissatisfied.
Because Qin Ji invested in a movie, the funds he could use became extremely limited, and the publicity budget he could hand over to them was also greatly reduced. They had no choice but to give up several highly influential talk shows. The method is to cast a wide net, and only the best are selected, and the money is used wisely.
But it's a pity to some extent. According to the previous expectations of this group of high-end talents with some perfectionism, Qin Ji's publicity effect can completely achieve the ultimate effect. They have full confidence in their plan, but now they have to change strategy, and achieved a relatively poor effect, which makes them feel regretful.
It's not because all the plans that I have spent so much effort to make before are all in vain, but because of the sense of loss caused by not being able to see a perfect result, Qin Ji, who is slightly perfectionist, still can't understand, but Also somewhat guilty.
Although he was hired by himself to help him with the work, after all, he worked hard and put together a plan that he didn't know how long it took to research it. As a result, he deleted it because he didn't have enough funds, which made Qin Ji feel a little sorry. The fruits of their labor, in all fairness, if Qin Ji's own works were treated in this way, he would definitely quit angrily.
Moreover, he was the one who made a promise with others before, saying that there is no upper limit on publicity funds, and they can do whatever they want. In the end, he invested all the money in the movie for his own selfish desires without discussing it with others, and made himself a In the financial crisis, their budgets were forced to be cut again and again, and it was difficult for them to demand good results in the end.
Fortunately, Qin Ji's publicity team didn't care. After all, even if Qin Ji's funds have been reduced by so much, he can definitely be regarded as a generous client. The things they encountered in submitting plans before were not uncommon. It is not uncommon for them to change and change and finally change back to the original plan. In such a comparison, Qin Ji is definitely an excellent and pleasing partner in their eyes.
However, because Qin Ji couldn't bear it, he suppressed his late-stage symptoms of lazy cancer in an instant, and worked hard for the promotional activities. His cooperation was so high that his domestic propaganda department shed tears.
Thomas, Qin Ji's manager in the United States, confirmed with Qin Ji while driving the car: "Qin, when you see Hughes, don't be afraid to speak freely, that guy is a madman obsessed with music , you don’t need to talk about flattery when dealing with him, just conquer him with your talent!”.
What they are going to meet now is the music director of the SINGOUT crew. It can be said that the reason why this show is so prosperous is that Hughes has continuously provided excellent adaptations.
You must know that the adaptation of a work sounds easy, but it is not a very flattering thing, because there will be a large group of fans with colored glasses to compare it with the original work they like, and the strength of Hughes is that he is not A success, but each adaptation of the original song can interpret different feelings.
This is a very clever approach. In this way, even music fans who deliberately find fault can’t compare the two horizontally. It can only be said that each has its own advantages and different styles cannot be compared together. In addition, he occasionally The inspiration exploded, and I adapted a cover song that stepped on the head of the original song, which won the public's love and popularity, and did not offend the singers and fans of the original song for the same reason. After all, they have different styles. More popular does not mean better .
"Well, yes, I see", Qin Ji nodded in response, he was not nervous, but Shi Cheng who came with him was quite nervous.
These days, Shi Cheng has been following him, stealing lessons from Hughes in private, how to form contacts, how to operate business, these models are completely different from those in China, Shi Cheng even took a notebook with him to take notes, often Gogou stared at Hughes, and Hughes misunderstood with a little chills, did this kid take a fancy to him? !
Fortunately, the misunderstanding was explained earlier. Shi Cheng already had a girlfriend, and even got engaged to Chen Hui a while ago. These news made Hughes relieved to know that his chrysanthemum was not missed, and even Shi Cheng stole from him. I don't mind anymore.
But like this, Qin Ji suddenly remembered that when he first debuted, Shi Cheng also learned from Ling Jie's manager, and he was surprisingly similar to the current fool, but Qin Ji still believed in him, and Shi Cheng was willing to work hard. He is willing to endure hardships, and after a few months of learning in China, he became a teacher. Although he can't say how good he is, at least he has been very careful and made no mistakes. This is enough for Qin Ji.
"Relax, Thomas said, as long as you show your talents, you can conquer him. Why are you so nervous, you can't trust me?" Qin Ji comforted with a smile. Since his debut, he has been praised by others smoothly, Qin Ji has an inexplicable confidence in music, and he has never failed in this aspect.
"I don't believe you." Shi Cheng shook his head and denied it. He was just nervous as usual. After all, shouldn't he be nervous before meeting someone who has played an important role in Qin Ji's career?Why is he now the abnormal one!
In fact, Qin Ji didn't realize it himself, and before he knew it, he had slowly changed, as if the former Qin Ji who secretly felt that he had no advantages or specialties other than his family being rich and good-looking had disappeared. Although he said he didn't care at that time, he actually cared more or less in his heart.
In his youthful youth, the world he came into contact with was so little. He didn't have perseverance in studying. Although he was a little clever, he couldn't compare with a real top student.
Of course, there are also non-human beings who are good at playing games and studying well. Even after so many years, Qin Ji would itch with envy every time he thinks about it, but that guy is not as good-looking as he is. !
Qin Ji will always be liked by others, because he is good-looking, but he has never been looked at with admiration. There are so many powerful people around him, and although he himself is not bad at everything, but There is no particularly shining place, and it seems somewhat mediocre.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that after Qin Ji developed an amazing talent in music, he loves music so much, because it makes himself dazzling and unique.
The car drove to the TV station smoothly, but no one came to greet him. Thomas led Qin Ji to the crew office of SINGOUT in a familiar way.
A middle-aged uncle with an unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes raised his head when he heard the door open, and when he saw Thomas walking in, he said impatiently, "You really have the face? Last time you brought that The little singer came to poison my ears, and I told you there would be no next time!"
Obviously, this is not the first time for Thomas to have a relationship with the crew. He has a good relationship with Hughes and said: "This time it's different. Didn't I already send you the song in advance?"
"Hmph, if it's okay, do you think you can walk into this room without being kicked out by me?" Hughes let out a sigh of resentment. He wasn't really dissatisfied with Thomas, and his tone softened naturally when he got angry. , shifted his gaze to Qin Ji, who was following behind, and asked, "Is that the kid? The song sounds good."
He had seen many excellent works, but the song Thomas listened to him this time, although it could not be said to be excellent enough to make him look at it differently, it was also novel and eye-catching.
That's enough. People's desire for new things is endless. This kid's adaptation of traditional electronic dance music is very good. Heaven and earth come.
He also searched the situation of this song on the Internet before, and it has already broken into the top [-] of the billboard. Although it is true that the advertising is a bit powerful, but with the quality, creativity and momentum of this song, Even without Thomas' recommendation, after he heard it, he would have acted for the sake of the crew.
"Since I'm here, I'll tell you what I think." Hughes stretched out his hand and pulled a chair over, motioning for Qin Ji to sit down. Thomas happily pushed Qin Ji over, and he and Shi Cheng I found a corner and sat down, not disturbing the professional corner of these two musicians.
Since Hughes wanted to talk to Qin Ji about his ideas, he had already recognized him, and Thomas didn't worry too much. Although he didn't understand this old stubbornness very well, why did he compromise after seeing Qin Ji? Could it be his family? The artist looks too well-behaved, so well-behaved that he is as stubborn as Hughes and has no bottom line?
Of course this is not the case. Hughes just heard that Alexander admired this Chinese boy very much and was invited to be the producer of his new album. Since he can convince Alexander, then this Chinese boy should still have some strength.
Hughes never worried that Qin Ji would be an idiot. At most, he was afraid that he would not understand the fashion trends here. The cultural differences between the East and the West are still quite large. Although music has no borders, tastes have borders. of.
But obviously he was overthinking, Hughes talked with Qin Ji, the song "Aha! "The style of the song is very dynamic and appealing, but his adaptation of it still hopes to weaken this feeling and achieve a lively and youthful feeling. In this way, the expression and interpretation of the song does not deviate from the original intention, and it can also give People have a very different feeling.
He just talked, but he didn't expect the other party to give him a surprise: "A cappella vocal chorus?!".
To be honest, this is a form of expression that he has never considered, and even when Qin Ji proposed it, he did not agree with it. Electronic dance music and a cappella are completely two extremes. One is to use various electronic timbres. One is synthesized, and even the human voice is processed, while the other is completely pursuing the purest essence, and all the instrumental accompaniment is even imitated by the human voice.
At first glance, it seems that the two are simply opposites, but after Hughes thought about it, the experience he has cultivated over the years made him realize the beauty of it, the lively and youthful sense, Acapella can be perfect Bring everything you want, and the opposition of music forms is not a problem at all, because what he wants is to be different. Although most of the work he has done in the past is to seek differences in the same way, it is definitely a good thing to be completely opposite and completely different. ah!
Hughes stared at Qin Ji with burning eyes, as if he came home hungry every night and saw the dinner his wife prepared for him, and Qin Ji felt goosebumps all over his body.
This kid is interesting!
