Chapter 11 Senior Li An
Jin Jingcheng is very confident, but not too arrogant. He knows that he is at most just a student with academic achievements and has no achievements in the outside world, so he is not so arrogant that he can immediately release the record after writing two songs, even if he is sure that these are two good songs.
His plan is to record the two songs "If-I-die-young" and "Tonight-I-wanna-cry" and upload them to the Internet, which is also a public release.
However, this kind of recording is not simply a recording by one person using a mobile phone or a recorder, but requires the production of complete songs and recording in a professional recording studio.
Kim Jingcheng came to Wilson to borrow Wilson's recording studio. As a music professor at the Dishi Academy of Arts and a top music producer in the American music industry, Wilson has his own recording studio and several employees who are music producers.
Kim Jingcheng also asked Wilson to introduce a music producer to help him record two songs.
Music producer is an emerging profession that emerged in the 1990s. Music production here refers to a series of work such as composition, arrangement, recording, mixing, post-production, etc. If you want to record a complete song, you will inevitably need professional music producers to participate, unless the singer himself is an excellent music producer.
Jin Jingcheng can't do this. He is currently only having some expertise in music and is still far from professional music producers. For example, he can play guitar and electronic piano, but he doesn't know how to use equipment to mix and arrange music.
Unlike the two songs he created before, "A Man" and "Poisoned", he created these two songs for Kim Jong Kook. He only needs to write the lyrics and songs into simple scores, and the arrangement and production of the music will naturally be completed by Kim Jong Kook's music company.
...
In the office.
Wilson, who was in his forties, was sitting behind an antique desk, and Jin Jingcheng sat opposite him.
Wilson looked at Jin Jingcheng and asked curiously: "Is there anything wrong with you coming to my office to find me?"
Although Wilson paid more attention to and appreciated "That Kim Jingcheng" before, and the two had some interactions, "That Kim Jingcheng" had never come to his office.
Jin Jingcheng got to the point directly: "I wrote two songs and wanted to publish them. I hope I can borrow the professor's recording studio. I also want to ask the professor to arrange a music producer for me. I believe that the fee for the professor's arrangement should not be too expensive."
Wilson was a little surprised when he heard this. If he hadn't known Jin Jingcheng well and knew Jin Jingcheng's academic achievements, he would have thought that Jin Jingcheng was a young man who was arrogant and even had paranoid. He had just written two songs himself, so he could just post it? Not to mention asking him to arrange a music producer.
Out of appreciation for Jin Jingcheng, Wilson resisted his surprise and said, "Which two songs are there? Can you show me the score first?"
Jin Jingcheng took out his cell phone directly from his body and said, "I have recorded them on my phone, so I will let you know, but it will delay you for ten minutes. I'll say sorry first."
Wilson waved his hand: "No delay, if you can enjoy two good songs, it will be my luck."
What he said was mostly polite, because "That Jin Jingcheng" had written songs before and had given him a few songs, but unfortunately none of them could really touch his heart.
Wilson didn't have much expectations for Kim Jingcheng's two songs this time. He was even thinking about how to politely reject Kim Jingcheng after listening to the song, and persuade Kim Jingcheng not to be too naive in this regard.
However, ten minutes later, when the two songs of King Jingcheng singing, "If-I-die-young" and "Tonight-I-wanna-cry", Wilson's expression changed drastically, and he showed surprise and even amazement without hesitation.
Although the phone is a shabby Motorola, the recording effect is not very good, and the sound released is flawed. The experienced Wilson still hears the extraordinaryness of the two songs.
Wilson was stunned for a while, and after savoring for a while, he asked Jin Jingcheng: "You wrote these two songs?"
Jin Jingcheng nodded.
Wilson asked again: "You wrote the lyrics and music?" This question was because he felt that these two songs were not just moving songs, but people could sink into it when they listened to them. The lyrics were also very distinctive, one was poetic, and the other was slowly said.
Jin Jingcheng nodded again.
"Okay, very good." Wilson couldn't help but stand up from the seat, bypassed the desk, and walked to Jin Jingcheng's side. "I agree to your request. Not only will I lend you the studio, but I will also be the producer of these two songs in person."
Jin Jingsung also stood up, keeping calm on the outside, but was a little excited in his heart. Although he had expected Wilson to like these two songs, he did not expect Wilson to be willing to be the producer himself.
"It's so great, thank you professor." Jin Jingcheng said with a smile.
Wilson waved his hand: "No need to thank me. It is indeed my luck to be able to hear these two good songs at once."
He paused and said, "In my opinion, each of these two songs can be released in singles. However, I am frankly frank, you have no reputation in music now, and you are an Asian person, so you won't have any investment from a record company. Why not do this? After recording it, it will be posted online first. If it becomes popular, I will contact the record company to release it."
Jin Jingcheng nodded. This was exactly what he thought. He only hoped that two songs would really become popular online. Once that was the case, he believed that Wilson would definitely find a record company to release. He knew that Wilson had worked with many famous singers.
Jin Jingcheng asked: "So, Professor, when do you have time?"
Wilson said decisively: "There is time now, and I will take you to the recording studio to record songs now."
Jin Jingcheng was secretly funny, thinking that Professor Wilson was actually a little impatient.
Immediately, Kim Jong-sung followed Wilson out of the office and prepared to go to Wilson's recording studio.
When they walked outside the administrative building, two people came towards them.
Jin Jingcheng is not unfamiliar with these two people.
One is the head of the Film Department of Dishi Academy of Arts and also Jin Jingcheng's doctoral supervisor named Nikola.
The other person is Li An, the director of the Chinese National People's Congress who will be famous all over the world in the near future.
At this time, Li An was holding a thick file bag in one of his hands.
Jin Jingcheng was not surprised that Li An would appear here and walk with Nikola, because Li An went out of the Film Department of the Dishi Academy of Arts and was considered his predecessor. According to the memory of "That Jin Jingcheng", Li An and Nikola were classmates during college. Li An often came to Nikola, and "That Jin Jingcheng" had seen him several times.
What surprised Jin Jingcheng was that he thought that he would be very excited to see Li An, the director he respected very much in his previous life. In fact, he was indeed excited at this moment, but not much, and he could be suppressed well in his heart.
Maybe it's because he has really grown up.
"Teacher, Senior Li An, Hello." Jin Jingcheng greeted Nicholas and Li An in a calm tone.
Nicholas and Li An both smiled and responded. Then they greeted Wilson and they knew each other.
However, when Nicholas said hello to Wilson, he suddenly said to Jin Jingcheng: "You come to my office."
Jin Jingcheng was surprised, not knowing what Nikola asked him for.
Looking at Li An and then at the thick file bag in his hand, Jin Jingcheng seemed to have guessed something, a light flashed in his eyes, and his brain began to spin at high speed...
