The family stayed in the capital until the second day of the Lunar New Year and then returned to Shanghai. The originally booked flight was to return to Shanghai on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Although Su Changhe didn't say it, it was obvious that he was unhappy in the capital.

Cheng Xiaoyu knew without asking that it was probably because of him. Before leaving, Cheng Xiaoyu made an appointment with Wang Dongliang again. Because of the Chinese New Year holiday, Wang Dongliang did not find out much valuable content about the alumni record. He only asked Shouhu in a circumstantial way.

An executive of the website asked about the solution to the alumni registration. Because the alumni registration often fails to log in, there are also rumors that Shouhu.com will shut down it completely.

The executives of Shouhu.com were not shy about the status of the alumni record. After all, people in the industry were aware of the situation. However, they did not say much about Wang Dongliang's inquiry, saying that they were studying it and that it might be axed.

This project has a lot of challenges, and the final result is hard to say.

When Cheng Xiaoyu and Wang Dongliang parted, they carried a black bag with 200,000 cash in it and stuffed it into Wang Dongliang's hand. Wang Dongliang refused with some fear for a long time. Finally, Cheng Xiaoyu threw it down and left. Wang Dongliang had no choice but to just

Can continue.

As for why Cheng Xiaoyu did not transfer the money but withdraw cash, it was because he knew that 200,000 was just a number in his account, but a stack of banknotes was a real impact.

When he left, Wang Dongliang didn't know how much money was in the bag. When he got to the car, he opened the bag and counted 200,000. He was quite surprised. Although the company's Audi had not been repaired, he no longer needed to pay for the repairs. It was like saying

Although Su Dongliang was a little frightened, he still gained 200,000 yuan.

Wang Dongliang thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. What's more, he felt that it was an honor to know a high-ranking cadre like Cheng Xiaoyu, and he did not want to make the relationship too tacky. He also felt that the money of a high-ranking cadre's son must not be so easy to collect. So,

Call Cheng Xiaoyu, hoping to get the money back.

But Cheng Xiaoyu said something from the bottom of his heart, which moved Wang Dongliang a little. Chinese literati have always had the idea of ​​​​"learning in literature and martial arts and becoming an emperor". For the first time, Cheng Xiaoyu, because of his own aura of being a playboy,

Gained Wang Dongliang's loyalty and trust.

Wang Dongliang once again dissuaded Cheng Xiaoyu from wasting money on purchasing alumni records. Cheng Xiaoyu had already thought about how to answer Wang Dongliang, but naturally he couldn't tell the truth now =. So he told him that he had a project in hand, which was jointly owned by the Ministry of Culture and the China Propaganda Department.

A website project. What Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to do was to buy a campus network, package it, and then “hand it over to the state” conditionally.

Only then did Wang Dongliang suddenly realize that this kind of thing could only be done by a high-ranking disciple like Cheng Xiaoyu, and ordinary people would not even think about it. Wang Dongliang immediately made a big deal and said that he would find a way to negotiate the alumni recruitment with Cheng Xiaoyu.

.

Cheng Xiaoyu promised again that he would be richly rewarded after the project was completed. He also asked Wang Dongliang to keep in touch with him at any time.

After returning to Shanghai, Aunt Zhou cashed the check for Zheng Jun's compensation of 3 million that Su Weilan gave her, transferred it to Cheng Xiaoyu's card, and told Cheng Xiaoyu that if she did not do well in the college entrance examination, she would have to change her car on her own.

Aunt Zhou has always taken money lightly. Although her life is very materialistic, from her point of view, if you have money, you should live a rich life, and if you don’t have money, you should live a moneyless life. She will not envy other people’s luxury.

I will not refuse what I can consume.

She is also more at ease with Cheng Xiaoyu. Although Cheng Xiaoyu has caused two big troubles, except for his poor grades, he never gets into trouble with small things, and he never spends money recklessly. He rarely uses his credit card with a limit of 500,000 yuan. And he has final exams.

His grades improved quickly. So Aunt Zhou gave the money to Cheng Xiaoyu with confidence. She always felt that boys should control money instead of being confused or enslaved by money.

Besides practicing piano these days, Cheng Xiaoyu spends time in his music studio.

He had previously recorded a song "Sunny Day" very laboriously. Since he was the only one, he could only set up the mixer outside, record the tracks one by one for the instruments, and then record the vocal tracks.

.Just recording the track of a single instrument took him a lot of time, but I believe he will increase the recording speed as he gradually becomes more proficient in the recording process.

After recording all the audio tracks, he is conducting complex post-production, adjusting the sound (pitch, rhythm, etc.), adjusting the effects, and mixing the audio tracks. He doesn’t know how to play any instrument himself, but the only thing he needs to know about music is

It can be done with a synthesizer.

For the first time, Cheng Xiaoyu did not use the rock-based arrangement of Zhou Jialun's original song "Sunny Day", but combined the arrangement of Guan Shimin and Liu Ruiqi's version with piano as the main melody. In this way, this song has

More touching power.

The song "Sunny Day" accompanied Cheng Xiaoyu through his golden period as a student. Thinking about most of his friends of the same age, whenever they hear this song, they will think of your campus, your crush, and your youthful innocence.

, pure eternity and sad first love.

The beginning of "Sunny Day" is astonishing. The three chords are played back and forth and a god-like melody is played. The following is directly sung from the score, which is even more enjoyable.

Time flies too fast and life is too short. Cheng Xiaoyu always feels that every stage of life is connected by some symbolic things, and "Sunny Day" is one of the most important symbols throughout his adolescence.

In her previous life, Cheng Xiaoyu also sang her first love in full for "Sunny Day". She had a paranoid love for this song, so she recorded a version arranged by Jay Chou himself. It was supposed to be a way to hone her recording skills and

Post-production skills.

Cheng Xiaoyu returned to Shanghai after the New Year and recorded another song "In the Name of the Father". The prelude of this song, including the violin and Italian soprano's coloratura, Cheng Xiaoyu could only complete with a synthesizer, (vocal synthesizer here

Without doing any popular science, everyone should know that Hatsune Miku is the use of vocal synthesizers. The advantage is that the singing skills practiced by real people for decades will be completely meaningless in front of them, and there is no limit to their vocal range.

There are no restrictions on breath, pitch, or rhythm. The disadvantage is that due to technical limitations, the singer's voice will inevitably appear stiff and lack subtle emotional changes. This directly leads to the fact that many people cannot accept this kind of music at all.

And biasedly believe that this is a problem with the music itself.)

Although the effect of the vocal synthesizer is not as good as the real voice recorded in the studio, after his meticulous craftsmanship, the whole song has a blurry mechanical feel after mixing, not to mention a unique charm.

"In the Name of the Father" was regarded by Cheng Xiaoyu as a masterpiece of Western ancient music. He even believed that "In the Name of the Father" was the pinnacle of Zhou's musical career. To put it arbitrarily, even he himself would never be able to do it in the future.

Beyond!

When Cheng Xiaoyu produced this song, because the arrangement of the song could be said to be perfect, Cheng Xiaoyu adopted the original arrangement without hesitation.

In order to 100% restore this song, Cheng Xiaoyu really racked his brains. The prelude was first interspersed with background sounds such as prayers and gunshots, which served as a rendering of the musical atmosphere. The prelude opened with an exaggerated Italian opera feel.

For the Italian prayer in the prelude and the opening of the Italian opera, Cheng Xiaoyu traveled all over Shanghai to find Italian priests and opera singers. Unfortunately, the priest was finally found, but coloratura sopranos who knew Italian opera were too rare. Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to do so.

You can choose a vocal synthesizer. As for the Italian Bible monologue, Cheng Xiaoyu went to all the churches in Shanghai and finally found an Italian priest. In the end, he paid for the service in exchange for this original Italian prayer.

The verse part uses a simple and lively rap, and the melody of the chorus part is also concise and clear. It deliberately abandons the ups and downs of the melody of large sections of pop songs, giving the whole song a gloomy, playful, and black tone.

Fortunately, the singing of this song is not too difficult, the difficulty lies in the arrangement and recording.

Cheng Xiaoyu also put all his efforts into RAP. Not only did he spend a lot of time practicing, he also made a lot of detailed adjustments with sound modification.

Of course, after the final recording including mixing was completed, Cheng Xiaoyu was also quite satisfied.

"In the Name of the Father" is not so much a song as it is like a movie with only sound. There is no particularly obvious chorus in the composition part, and the melody loops in a low tone, supporting Cheng Xiaoyu's RAP, whether it is a piano solo

It’s still bel canto, it’s still the prelude prayer, it’s still the sound of gunshots, it’s more like the bridge and soundtrack in a movie.

The piano solo and female vocal part in the middle uses a technique similar to "John Woo + Let the Doves" to express the image of the song with static and dynamic conflicts. In the past, we could only see it in movies, but in this song we can

I feel this kind of thing clearly.

Some people once said that the composition and arrangement of Zhou Jielun's "In the Name of the Father" was ahead of the pop music era by an entire era, and today Cheng Xiaoyu wants to use this divine song to open a new door for the pop music of this era.

After recording "In the Name of the Father", Cheng Xiaoyu felt that his post-production skills had risen to a new level, including his recording skills in the studio.

Later, I recorded another song "Class 2 of Three Years" with almost no effort.

After recording two songs, Cheng Xiaoyu opened GG Music Network, opened JAY'SPoison's account, and uploaded a total of four pieces of music, two of which were different versions of "Sunny Day".

After uploading, Cheng Xiaoyu looked dizzy looking at the copyright agreement and dispute settlement page after page on the computer, but he couldn't help but read it carefully. The copyright belongs to the creator, but GG Music Network has the exclusive right to play it, and the download fee and on-demand fee are from

Customized by the creator.

The income earned is divided between GG Music Network and the creators 73%, and if you become a contracted musician, you can share it 50%.

After the setting of the music work is completed, the cloud computer will conduct a rough comparison of the music melody against the music library, and if any copyright doubts are found, manual review will be carried out.

If there are no copyright issues, it will appear on the GG Music Network’s musician rankings after one working day.

The ranking rules were introduced in detail later, but Cheng Xiaoyu did not study them in detail.

When it came time to set the download and on-demand settings, Cheng Xiaoyu was already a little dizzy. He didn't care about the taboos seen in the newcomers' rankings before, and he had no intention of deliberately promoting his own works. He closed the download and entered the 0.5 yuan audition after the audition.

Of course he also knew that free admission would attract newcomers to try out, but he felt that the music of his idol Jay Chou was good enough, and he didn’t want his hard work to be cheap. In line with the principle of not being afraid of the deepest alleys, he still chose to pay for the audition. After talking about him,

I also think that paying for a trial might attract more attention, but that’s not necessarily the case.

However, when he was dizzy, he accidentally entered a comma in the middle point of 0:5 yuan. He did not look carefully, selected Setting Complete, Upload Complete, and closed the browser.
