Almighty Athlete Chapter 47: Only copy lyrics
Zhang Guan thought of a very suitable song, which he liked very much. It was not difficult to sing the key.
"Professor Zhou, I actually have a song that may be suitable." Zhang Guan said.
"What song? Who sang it?" Professor Zhou asked.
"When I rehearsed with teacher Wang Feng two days ago, he gave me some tips on how to create songs. When I went back, I tried it and wrote a saliva song. Or should I sing to you first? "
What do you need most for songwriting? Not musical skills, but inspiration! Many well-known musicians in China are actually not from the class, especially those born in the 1950s and 1960s. Due to the special age, even if they want to learn music, they don’t have the opportunity, and many people don’t even read music scores. He entered some art troupes with a good voice, and then started his own music journey; or maybe he would just play the guitar twice and learn to write songs and engage in rock bands. Such people can eventually become singers, not because of their musical skills, but because of their unparalleled passion for music and their persistence in ideals.
Write songs without learning music? If you put it in the modern era, you must think it is impossible, but in that passionate era, it is a very common phenomenon. Like today's Internet writers, how many of them are from literature majors?
Professor Zhou also experienced that era. Of course he knew this situation, but he didn’t think Zhang Guan was the kind of person. He lowered his face and said, "What a joke, how important is the Hong Kong Great Show! How can it be chaotic."
Zhang Guan ignored Professor Zhou’s attitude. He felt that speaking with facts was more direct, so he directly sang:
"When I am different from the world, then it makes me different, insisting that for me it is just Gang Gang."
"If I compromise with myself, if I lie to myself, even if someone forgives me, I cannot forgive."
"The most beautiful wish must be the craziest, I am my own **** where I live."
"My last stubbornness with me, holding my hands firmly, will never let go. The next stop is heaven, even if you are disappointed, you can’t despair."
"I am proud of my stubbornness. I sing loudly in the wind. This time I am crazy about myself, this time I am stubborn with me."
This stubborn song, Zhang Guan only sang a paragraph, and then stopped. Looking at Coach Zhou across from him, his eyes widened wide, his mouth wide open, and he looked at Zhang Guan with an expression that was difficult to describe in words.
The song "Stubborn" is easier to sing, and can even be said to be catchy. Of course, if you want to sing well, you still need some skills, but if the requirements are not too high, you can sing the charm without superb singing skills.
The first few sentences of this song are not very exciting. In addition, Zhang Guan’s completely unprofessional singing makes Professor Zhou even more angry, but when Zhang Guan sang the phrase “I and I last stubborn”, Coach Zhou's complexion changed completely. With his professional level, of course, he can hear the highlight of this song.
"This song sounds very fresh and doesn't need too fancy singing. I'm sure I have never heard this song before, and it feels a bit Hong Kong and Taiwan style. Is it really what Zhang Guan said, that he edited it himself Is he really an athlete? Many of the music majors can’t make up the tactful tone!” Professor Zhou suddenly felt that he didn’t have a sense of accomplishment.
"The next stop is not paradise, even if you are disappointed, you can't despair." Professor Zhou silently read the phrase in his heart. He felt a little moved, but more resonated.
Professor Zhou's age group has experienced a special era and also experienced too many special things. He remembers when he was young, in the era of sports, he put so many hardships and suffered so much pain in the pursuit of music. He had tried to give up many times, but in the end he persisted. And the lyrics of this song in Professor Zhou's ears seem to be telling about his own experience, which instantly touched Professor Zhou's heart
"Is this kid really an athlete? Is it really the so-called explosion of inspiration? This kind of lyrics can't be written without experiencing some setbacks and failures..." Professor Zhou thought silently.
"Are there any scores?" Professor Zhou asked. But then he felt that he was asking silly questions. How could a sports athlete blindly compose a song?
Although Zhang Guan was able to hum the song, he shook his head and said, "Where is the music score! Besides, I haven’t studied music, nor will I learn music scores."
Professor Zhou nodded and said, "You wait, I will write a song for you now."
Professor Zhou closed his eyes, but there was a picture of memory in his mind. When he was young, he paid for music, insisted on being lonely without being understood by the world, countless blows and failures and stood up countless times. ... As the memory continues to reincarnate in his mind, fascinating notes begin to appear in his mind.
Professor Zhou waved violently and quickly wrote a piece of music on the paper. Then he read it again, modified a few places, handed it to Zhang Guan, and asked, "Look, how about it?"
"Uh, Professor Zhou, I can't understand this..." Zhang Guan said with a red face.
"Oh, that's right." Professor Zhou smiled embarrassedly and then said, "I'll play it for you again."
Professor Zhou went to the piano and began to play the tune he just wrote.
Professor Zhou composed music based on Zhang Guan's singing, so the final tune has been very different from the original "stubborn" song. Compared with it, Professor Zhou's tune sounds more vicissitudes, It is also more mature. This, of course, has a lot to do with the author’s life experience. People in their twenties are naturally not as rich as those in their fifties, and Professor Zhou is a person who has grown up in a special year.
"How is it?" Professor Zhou finished playing the song and asked, but then there was a natural smile to himself: "Ask you if you ask, you don't understand anyway. Still, I play Let’s try to sing, we will correct it if there is an inappropriate place."
Professor Zhou gave the Zhang Guan accompaniment and asked Zhang Guan to sing it again, and then Professor Zhou revised it again. In this way, it has been carried out five times, only to create a more satisfactory song by Professor Zhou.
"Okay, that’s it for today, the music is so settled, I will bring a few students over to get the arrangement out. You go back first, come here to listen to the music tomorrow" Professor Zhou Said.
Professor Zhou’s students are at least at the master’s level, and there will even be a Ph.D., at least the arranger level will not be lost to many professional musicians.
......
Several senior executives of Naike are having video conferences with their branches. At the other end of the connection video are Mark Parker, president of Naike Asia Pacific and Brent James, president of China.
"We had contact with Zhang Guan last year, and the field management center has also agreed to sign the contract, but in the end it was unsuccessful. This caused a lot of passiveness to our company. I want to know why? I need a reasonable explanation, I want to explain to the board of directors!" asked a senior executive at the Naike headquarters.
China President James immediately said: "Our business manager once contacted the field management center and Zhang Guan. The field management center was very satisfied with the contract, but at that time Zhang Guan rejected our Invitation to sign a contract. I think it is most likely because Zhang Guan himself thought that the price we gave was too low at that time, so I once asked Mr. Parker for more signing money, but Mr. Parker did not approve it."
Although Parker, the president of the Asia-Pacific region, is nominally James's superior, James is directly appointed by the headquarters and has always been eyeing Parker's position, so he simply blamed Parker.
Parker also knew that James had the idea of replacing himself, so he often stumbled on James. James did propose to raise some prices to sign Zhang Guan, but in order to suppress James and be in distrust of the Asian sprint project, Parker refused. James' request.
Seeing James blame himself, Parker didn’t have any panic look. Obviously he had already prepared his speech, and Parker said, "At that time, it was the end of the year. Because of the settlement, the funds are very tight. At present, our company's production chain is mainly in Asia. If the factory in Asia is shut down, it will affect our global industrial chain. Therefore, I must seriously consider every cent of the capital."
Parker’s statement is clearly untenable when considered carefully. The huge supply chain of Naike is obviously calculated in the unit of “100 million”. Parker, the president of the Asian region, can’t even reach a hundred. Hundreds of thousands can't get it out. However, several people at the headquarters discussed it and finally accepted Parker's statement.
The headquarter continued: "Since the record-breaking 100m Olympic champion in Zhang Guan, our competitors have noticed him, and many of them have started to act, which makes us very passive, so we The next strategy is to sign Zhang Guan within a reasonable price range. James, you are the person in charge of China, what are your plans next?"
James cleared his throat, and then said: "Through previous cooperation, we have a very harmonious relationship with the field control center. I think that under the same conditions, the field control center will give priority to signing with us. However, At present, we are not only facing our old rivals, but also domestic sports brands. The development speed of local sports brands in China has exceeded our expectations. A few years ago, they were only our foundries. , But now several brands have been formed. So I need funds, more funds, otherwise, I cannot guarantee to sign Zhang Guan."
"So how much do you need?" asked the headquarters.
"If ads are included, I need a budget of $2 million per year." James said.
Although James said it’s $2 million, he actually didn’t have much hope for this number. It’s almost the same as bargaining for money. If you open this up to 2 million, you might have to cut half of it, so James Direct lion's big mouth called a relatively high number.
Headquarters fell into silence. Obviously James mentioned the topic of asking for money, which everyone did not like.
"Parker, the headquarters wants to hear your suggestions." The executives at the headquarters then asked.
"A budget of 2 million US dollars is impossible." Parker's statement that James immediately rejected. From Parker's point of view, he did not want James to get more of his own funds in funding, let alone James. In the Chinese market, the better James' performance, the greater the threat to him.
saw Parker continued: "Although China's market is gradually expanding, for most Chinese people, it is absolutely unwilling to spend 60 to 80 US dollars to buy a pair of shoes, for now ~IndoMTL. com~Japan is still our largest market in Asia, so our focus of promotion is still Japan. I think the budget of 2 million US dollars is too much, and I have always been puzzled about the level of sprinting of Asian athletes. Success is probably just a coincidence. Perhaps in the next competition, Zhang Guan cannot achieve such a good result. So I think that the budget of 600,000 to 800,000 US dollars is relatively normal."
At that time, the exchange rate of US dollars was more than 1:8. 2 million US dollars is equivalent to nearly 17 million domestically, and 800,000 US dollars is also close to 7 million domestically. 7 million a year is definitely an expensive endorsement fee for domestic athletes. For example, Liu Feiren's endorsement after the Olympics is only worth 5 million a year, and the value of a tennis sister in the future after winning the French Open in 2011 Probably about 7 million.
Headquarters hesitated for a while, and finally compromised the opinions of the two to give James a budget of $1 million per year.
