"Be brave, the wound on your forehead, your differences, your mistakes..."
"Don't have to hide your shabby doll, your mask, your ego..."
As a high-level executive of Maitian Music, although Zhang Yadong is not a professional musician himself, he still has musical literacy.
When he picked up Lu Bai's new song, he hummed a few sentences, and immediately realised the extraordinariness of this song.
"Love the way you walk alone in the dark alley... Love the way you don't kneel..."
"Love the way you confront despair... Not willing to cry for a while..."
With the progress of the song, Zhang Yadong's pupils gradually enlarged, the light flickered frequently, and the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.
"It’s a... good song!"
No need to market assessment, no need to do demo samples, no need to even read through the entire song lyrics, Zhang Zhidong called out in a decisive manner.
After all, the song Lone Brave, from the lyrics to the score, is almost flawless and has reached the perfect level.
What's more, this song is different from the love songs on the market, contains a kind of unyielding and untamed human ecology, quite inspiring, according to the popular words, this is a false positive energy.
And to be able to write songs of positive energy to this level, probably only a musical genius like Lu Bai can do it.
Zhang Yadong holds the songbook like a treasure, and his hands are shaking a little, because he clearly realises that if this song is performed well, it will definitely show great energy, and it may even hit the annual pop song Top spot!
"Xiao Bai, I will immediately call a meeting with the company's top management. This song of yours, must contact a first-line singer to sing, these singers in the company, they are not enough."
"But don't worry, with the standard of your song, those first-line singers will definitely be eager to cooperate, after all, this level of singing out, they also have a very big benefit to themselves."
At this time, Zhang Yadong was like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't sit still.
However, just when he couldn't wait to call the company's executives for a meeting, Lu Bai pulled him back with a calm expression.
"Mr. Zhang, I have a different idea about this song."
Zhang Yadong was stunned when he heard the words, and his eyes inevitably revealed a bit of anxiety.
"Is it the issue of the manuscript pay? Xiao Bai, don't worry, there is no problem at all with this matter of increasing the manuscript fee! How about this, I guarantee you in my personal name, this song regardless of the specific market performance, the manuscript paid to you will definitely not be less than one million!"
Zhang Yadong thought that Lu Bai was going to sit on the ground to raise the price, so he was a little panicked, for fear that Lu Bai, a super cash cow, would switch to other music companies.
I have to say that in the face of such national treasure-level employees, the company and the boss did not dare to be high above them, but instead lowered their stance and coaxed them.
However, when Lu Bai heard this, he quietly shook his head.
"It's not about money, I'm going to sing this song myself."
"What?"
Zhang Yadong was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't regain his senses for a long time.
The fact that Lu Bai is a music prodigy is unanimously recognized by the whole company of Maitian Music, and there is no doubt about it.
However, Lu Bai has always been a behind-the-scenes music creator, and has never sung by himself, and there has long been an unwritten conclusion in the music circle that creative geniuses are generally not singing geniuses.
And those god-level singing voices, strong singers, and their own creative skills are not particularly strong, after all, God is very fair.
Therefore, General Manager Wang does not trust Lu Bai's singing skills, which is normal.
Even if Lu Bai can sing well and can reach the level of a professional singer, it would be better to find a first-line singer to sing this Lone Brave. After all, experience and popularity are also decisive factors for a song.
These Lu Bai knew in his heart, but he had his own ideas.
In fact, Lu Bai was a Earth traveller who had just travelled to this parallel world for less than half a year.
The original host of this body could not carry the blow because of the huge debt of six hundred million at home, and had already cooled off, which allowed Lu Bai to take over the nest.
However, Lu Bai was speechless about the fact that he was in debt of 600 million as soon as he crossed over. Compared with other fellow travelers, this was a hell-level start with a small wooden stick to let him fight the ultimate boss.
Originally, Lu Bai didn't want to help that cheap dad pay off his debts for no reason. After all, he wasn't a big bad guy.
But not long after crossing, he awakened a mysterious system, and the initial main quest released by the system was to ask him to repay his debts.
Each time he pays off a portion of his debt, the system will reward you with an exclusive master-level skill.
For example, the novice gift package that was awarded when the system was first activated, after Lu Bai opened it, he gained master-level composition skills.
In addition, Lu Bai discovered through exploration that although this parallel world is highly similar to Earth, there are also many differences in details and timelines. For example, Earth's many classic hits have never appeared in this world at all. .
So, in order to repay the debt and get system rewards, Lu Bai embarked on the road of music creation today.
But after half a year, although Lu Bai has also made 4 million yuan, it is still a little insignificant compared to the 600 million debt, and simply writing songs, the income is too low, and the progress is relatively slow.
After thinking about it, Lu Bai felt that if he wanted to make a lot of money and pay off his debts early, writing songs alone was not enough. He had to further infiltrate the entertainment industry, develop his popularity, and become a real star to earn more money.
And singing this song in person is the first step in Lu Bai's plan.
As for the issue of singing skills, there is no need to worry at all, because in the first half of the year, Lu Bai paid off the debt of 4 million yuan and completed part of the main task process. The system has already rewarded Lu Bai for master-level singing skills.
"Xiao Bai, I understand what you mean, but it's not too urgent, and the song Lone Brave is so good, it's a pity if you take it as a touchstone..."
Zhang Yadong did not dare to directly reject Lu Bai's request. After all, until now, Lu Bai and Maitian Music were only cooperative and were not under the direct control of the company.
To put it in a bad way, with Lu Bai's talent and works, it would be a matter of minutes if he wanted to change to another music company to cooperate with, and the salary might be higher than it is now.
In fact, after the song "Flammable and Explosive" became a hit a while ago, many music companies in the market have noticed that Lu Bai is a behind-the-scenes creative genius, and they are looking for news in many ways.
Fortunately, the confidentiality of Maitian Music was well done, and Lu Bai himself was very low-key, which made it impossible for those colleagues to find Lu Bai's trace.
Therefore, no matter how insistent Lu Bai was, Maitian Music could only persuade him and dare not refuse.
"Mr. Zhang, don't persuade."
Seeing Lu Bai's serious expression, Zhang Yadong couldn't help but sigh.
"Well then, Xiaobai, since you've made up your mind, the company will respect and support your decision. Also, when are you going to start recording?"
"Just today."
"Ah, that's fine, I'll call the company's people to prepare..."
