A few people chatted in Alpha's reception room for a while, and Yu Dong asked: "Mr. Wu, can we visit your company?"
"Of course, but some people in the company are not here today."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, let's take a look first. Those who haven't arrived will see you again later."
Wu Zongxian nodded and began to show Yu Dong and others around the company.
Although there are not many people in Alpha Music Company, the area is not small and there are various functional facilities.
After visiting various areas of the company, Wu Zongxian brought people from the company to Yu Dong and introduced them one by one.
Wu Zongxian said that the one who didn't arrive was probably Liu Genghong, and basically everyone else was there.
Yu Dong also saw Fang Minshan. Fang Minshan was quite young now, but thinking that Fang Minshan was only one year older than him, Yu Dong felt that Fang Minshan was not too young either.
Compared to Jay Chou who kept his head down the whole time, Fang Minshan's eyes were much more intense and he was always staring at Yu Dong.
Wu Zongxian also noticed Fang Minshan's eyes, and joked: "Wenshan, although you are a loyal reader of Teacher Yu Dong, you can't stare like this."
Fang Minshan smiled sheepishly: "I'm so excited to see Teacher Yu."
"Teacher Yu Dong, Wenshan is a gold medal lyricist in our company. His lyrics are very good. I will ask you to give him some advice later."
Yu Dong smiled and waved his hand: "I am an amateur at writing lyrics, so I don't need to give any advice. If Mr. Fang has any works on hand, please feel free to show them for us to appreciate."
Fang Minshan said quickly, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Wu Zongxian smiled and wanted to introduce Jay Chou to Yu Dong, but Yu Dong smiled and said: "I know this young man, his name is Jay Chou, right?"
"Teacher Yu Dong, do you know Jie Lun?" Wu Zongxian said in surprise.
Yu Dong explained with a smile: "We came up in the same elevator just now. Mr. Zhou loves sports. He came up from the elevator on the eighth floor just to take some time to exercise."
Wu Zongxian glanced at Jay Chou and said, "Oh, that's it. Jay Chou is my assistant. He has played piano since elementary school and has a strong classical foundation."
Yu Dong said with interest: "Really? I also have a background in classical music. It's quite a coincidence."
Wu Zongxian raised his eyebrows and asked unexpectedly, "Does Teacher Yu Dong also study classical music?"
Yu Liang smiled on the side and said: "Our landlady is a piano master."
"It turns out that Mrs. Yu is so powerful, but I am too blind to recognize Taishan."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said: "I can't say that I am a piano master. I just teach piano in school. How many years has Xiao Zhou studied classical music?"
"I started learning when I was four years old." Jay Chou replied.
"The basic skills should be pretty good." Cheng Yanqiu nodded.
When Wu Zongxian saw that Cheng Yanqiu was interested in Jay Chou's piano, he smiled and said: "Although our company does not have a piano, we do have an electronic keyboard. How about we let Jay Chou play a song for us, and Mrs. Yu will also give Jay Chou some advice."
"It's not about giving advice, let's learn from each other."
Then everyone went to the recording studio, where there was an electronic keyboard outside.
Walking to the electronic keyboard, Jay Chou was about to sit down when Wu Zongxian pulled him beside him and asked, "Mrs. Yu, do you want to show it to us first?"
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "Let Xiao Zhou play first."
"Okay, let's let Jay Chou use some advice." After saying that, Wu Zongxian pulled Jay Chou again.
Jay Chou, who was originally frozen, seemed to have been turned on again, and sat down. Then without asking everyone what they wanted to hear, he started playing a piece of Chopin's "Nocturne", followed by a piece of Tchaikovsky.
"June Barcarolle".
Everyone listened quietly. Cheng Yanqiu didn't take it seriously at first. Halfway through "June Barcarolle", she suddenly raised her eyebrows.
Yu Dong doesn't understand classical music, but he understands his wife. When he saw Cheng Yanqiu raise his eyebrows, he knew that Jay Chou must be doing something fancy.
After Jay Chou finished playing, Cheng Yanqiu smiled and applauded: "Xiao Zhou's classical piano foundation is indeed very good, and the variations are also very novel and full of ideas."
"No, no." Jay Chou felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Cheng Yanqiu.
Yu Dong was confused. Did Jay Chou change his music just now? He couldn't hear it at all.
But it's normal that he can't hear it. Cheng Yanqiu hasn't played the piece "June Barcarolle" a few times. Yu Dong's current understanding of classical music depends entirely on which pieces Cheng Yanqiu plays at home. The more he plays, the more he listens.
You'll get to know each other.
Wu Zongxian looked at Jay Chou and felt very happy. This guy is pretty good and he earned face for him today.
"Mrs. Yu, do you want to show it to us?"
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and shook his head: "Let's look for opportunities in the future. Forget it today, Xiao Zhou plays very well. It's a good thing to have such a classical background, which is very beneficial to song creation. Although pop music is very different from classical music, the melody
There are many similarities between these things, and having a classical foundation is equivalent to having basic skills."
Yu Liang heard that the landlady was very optimistic about Jay Chou, so he asked: "How does Xiao Zhou sing?"
"Jielun is not very good at singing, but he is better at behind-the-scenes work." Wu Zongxian smiled and said, "How about Jaylen sings a song for Teacher Yu Dong and the others."
When it comes to singing, Jay Chou is not so confident. He sat next to the electronic keyboard and hesitated for a while before singing, "Everyone is asking, what on earth am I waiting for..."
Hearing Jay Chou singing, Yu Liang frowned. Wu Zongxian was right, Jay Chou's singing was very ordinary.
Jay Chou sang "I'll Wait Until the Flowers Wither" by Jacky Cheung. You could tell that he was deliberately imitating Jacky Cheung's singing voice, but he didn't imitate the essence. It sounded almost boring and had no characteristics.
After singing, Jay Chou also knew that his singing was average, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
Yu Dong smiled and said: "It's not bad."
No one else took his words seriously and thought they were just polite words.
Jay Chou inspected it here, and Yu Dong read a few Fang Minshan's lyrics.
There is nothing special about Fang Minshan's lyrics. Some of the lyrics he presented were of average quality. Yu Dong himself didn't know much about the lyrics, so he made a few comments and didn't say anything else.
Later, Wu Zongxian introduced Wen Lan to Yu Dong and asked Wen Lan to sing a few songs.
It can be seen that Wu Zongxian treats Wen Lan very well. Apart from himself, Wen Lan is probably the most admired person in this company.
After everyone had finished reading, Yu Dong and the others returned to the reception room. Wu Zongxian said with a smile: "My company is too small, which made the three of them laugh, but I still have great confidence in this company."
Wu Zongxian said he was confident, but Yu Dong and the others did not feel where his confidence lay, and it was obvious that he was not particularly concerned about this company.
Yu Liang smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, you are being humble. Although your company has a small number of people, it has great potential."
This is just a polite comment. From my perspective, Alpha Music Company is not much better than the other companies I looked at today. It’s just that the boss Wu Zongxian is somewhat valuable.
There is also Jay Chou, who caught the attention of the boss lady because he has some background in classical music, but that's all. He is not very good at singing, so he can only work behind the scenes. It is still unknown whether he can do something behind the scenes.
Wu Zongxian took a sip of water and said again: "What was the cooperation that Mr. Yu mentioned before?"
Yu Liang glanced at Yu Dong first, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, our company has many plans for film and television dramas this year, and we may need more songs, so I took advantage of this book fair to come to your company and watch
Let’s see if there is any opportunity for us to cooperate.”
"So that's it." Wu Zongxian nodded, but he didn't believe Yu Yi's explanation.
Is it necessary for a boss or a general manager to come in person just for an episode of a TV series?
During this period, Wu Zongxian heard some news, saying that Deep Space not only had appointments with his company, but also had contact with several other small companies of the same size.
In view of this, Wu Zongxian came up with the idea that maybe Deep Space came for his company this time, and also for him as a person.
