Capítulo 85: Only Copy Lyrics
Zhang Guan thought of a very suitable song, which he liked very much, and it was not difficult to sing the key.
"Professor Zhou, I 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 talked to me about some techniques for creating songs. When I went back, I tried it. I wrote a slobber song. Can I sing it to you first?"
What is most needed for songwriting? Not musical skills, but inspiration! Many well-known musicians in China are not from the science 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. With a good voice, I entered some art troupes, and then started my musical journey; or maybe I just played the guitar twice, and then learned to write songs and engage in rock bands. This kind of person can eventually become a singer, not relying on musical skills, but on the unparalleled passion for music and persistence in ideals.
Write songs without learning music? If you put it in the modern era, you must think that this is impossible, but in that passionate era, it is a very common phenomenon. Just like today's internet writers, how many are literary majors?
Professor Zhou has also experienced that era, he certainly knows this situation but does not think that Zhang Guan is that 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'm different from the world, then it makes me different, and insisting on it is just taking Gang."
"If I compromise with myself, if I lie to myself, even if someone forgives me, I can't forgive."
"The most beautiful wish must be the craziest, I am my own God where I live."
"My last stubbornness with me, clenched my hands and never put it down, is the next stop a paradise, even if I am disappointed, I 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."
In this "stubborn" song, Zhang Guan sang only one paragraph and 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, plus Zhang Guan's completely unprofessional singing makes Professor Zhou even angrier, but when Zhang Guan sang the phrase "I and my last stubbornness", Professor Zhou's face changed completely, and with his professional standards, of course, he can hear the highlights of this song.
"This song sounds very fresh and doesn't need much fancy singing. I'm sure I have never heard this song before. It feels a bit between Hong Kong and Taiwan style. Is it really what Zhang Guan said that he composed it himself? Is he an athlete? Many of the music majors can't make up for the tactful tone!" Professor Zhou suddenly felt that he had no sense of accomplishment.
"Is the next stop a paradise, even if you are disappointed, you can't despair." Professor Zhou silently read the lyrics in his heart. He felt a little moved, but more resonated.
People at the age of Professor Zhou have 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 endured so much pain in the pursuit of music, he had tried to give up many times, but in the end, he persevered. 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 an athlete? Is it the so-called explosion of inspiration? Such 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 a silly question. How could a sports athlete blindly compose a song?
Although Zhang Guan was able to hum a song, he still 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, then 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 and was alone and not understood by the world. He insisted alone, countless blows and failures, and stood up countless times... With the reincarnation of memory in his mind, charming notes also began to appear in his mind.
Professor Zhou waved violently and quickly wrote a sheet of music on the paper. Then he looked at it again, modified a few places, handed it to Zhang Guan, and asked, "Look, how is it now?"
"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 piece he just wrote.
Professor Zhou composed music according to Zhang Guan's singing, so the final tune was very different from the original stubborn song. Compared with it, Professor Zhou's tune sounds more vicissitudes and 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 asked after finishing the song, but then he smiled naturally and said to himself: "If you ask you, you ask in vain, anyway, you don't understand. Anyway, I am playing, you come and sing, we will correct it if there is something unsuitable. "
Professor Zhou gave Zhang Guan an accompaniment, let Zhang Guan sing it again, and then Professor Zhou made modifications. In this way, it has been carried out five times, before he wrote a more satisfactory song.
"Okay, let's do it today, the music is so settled. I will bring a few students over to get the arranger. 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 Ph.D. students, and the arranger level will not be lost to many professional musicians.
...
Several senior management executives of the Nike company are having video conferences with the branch companies. The other end of the connection video is Mark Parker, the president of the Asia-Pacific region, and Brent James, the president of the China region.
"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 in our company. I want to know why? I need a reasonable explanation, I want to explain to the board of directors! "A senior executive at Nike's headquarters asked.
James, the president of China, said immediately: "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 contract because of him being a minor. I think it is probably because Zhang Guan personally 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 boss, James was 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. At the time, James did propose to raise some prices to sign the crown, but to suppress James and be in charge of the Asian sprint project, Parker rejected James's claim.
Seeing James push responsibility to himself, Parker did not have any panic look. He had already prepared his speech, and only Parker said, "At that time, it was the end of the year. We are facing settlement with the industry and commerce, so the capital is 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 untenable when carefully considered. The huge supply chain of Nike is calculated in units of "100 million". Parker, the president of the Asian region, cannot even reach hundreds of thousands to get it out. However, several people at the headquarters discussed it and finally accepted Parker's statement.
The headquarters continued: "Since Zhang Guan broke the record-breaking Olympic 100m champion, our competitors have noticed him, and many of them have started to act, which makes us very passive, so 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 for the 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're faced with not only our old rivals but also domestic sports brands in China, the development of local sports brands in China has exceeded our expectations. A few years ago, they were just 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?" The headquarters asked.
"If it contains advertising, I need a budget of 2 million US dollars per year," James said.
Although James opened his mouth for 2 million US dollars, he did not have much hope for this number. Asking for money is almost the same as bargaining. If you open 2 million here, you may have to cut half of it. The opening called a relatively high number.
Headquarters fell into silence. 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 is impossible." Parker immediately rejected the statement that James had brought up. From Parker's perspective, he did not want James to get more of his funds in terms of funds, and he did not want James to be in the Chinese market. From the ups and downs, the better James' performance is, the greater the threat to him.
I saw Parker continued: "Although the Chinese market is gradually expanding, for most Chinese people, they are reluctant to spend 60 to 80 US dollars to buy a pair of shoes. For now, Japan is still our Asia 's largest market, so our focus on publicity is still Japan. I think the budget of 2 million US dollars is too much, and I have always been puzzled about the sprint performance of Asian athletes. A successful one may be 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 an expensive endorsement fee for domestic athletes. For example, Liu Feiren, the endorsement value after the Olympics is only 5 million a year, and the future value of a tennis sister after winning the French Open in 2011 is probably about 7 million.
The headquarters hesitated, and finally compromised their opinions, giving James a budget of 1 million dollars a year.
