Chapter 153 The Contest between East and West, Western Orchestra

Chapter 153 The Contest between East and West, Western Orchestra

Half past three in the afternoon.

Yida Records, in the assistant's office.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Please come in."

Lin Zhixing had just received a call from Zhang Sihui, saying that he had two things to discuss. He opened the door of the office and saw Zhang Sihui in a black dress carefully sorting out documents.

"Xiao Lin, I haven't seen you for a week, and you really impress me more and more!"

Zhang Sihui smiled and gave a thumbs up, then pushed the snack at hand to the other side of the table, "Sit down quickly and let's have a good chat!"

"Um!"

Lin Zhixing sat across from the desk. He was very familiar with it and was not polite. He reached out and took a piece of peach cake from the snack bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

He took advantage of people's short hands and spoke softly, and muttered a compliment: "Sister Hui, you have afternoon tea every day and still maintain such a good figure. It's really enviable!"

Zhang Sihui looked at the sweet-mouthed Lin Zhixing, put down the documents in her hands and sat upright. She raised the corners of her lips and said, "Maintaining a good figure may be related to regular exercise. I go to the gym every day after get off work."

"Go by yourself?"

"Occasionally with my friends."

Lin Zhixing gave a thumbs up, "This kind of perseverance is so rare."

Then he said with a smile: You should cherish exercising with friends who have a fitness card, because you may not see them once a year. "

Zhang Sihui covered her mouth and smiled, then got to the point: "I have two things to tell you today. First, I have a great thing to share with you. The communications company that has been waiting and watching plans to sign a contract with you at a price of 30 million. , and are planning to launch M-Zone cards for you to endorse."

Lin Zhixing pursed his lips and said, "I only agreed when the song became popular. I should give them a price increase."

"That's for sure!"

Zhang Sihui smiled and compared the numbers with her hands, "I talked about the price of 38 million. They didn't agree to the share. All three communication companies refused. 38 million is the highest bidder! If you agree, you can sign the contract at any time. "

"Thank you, Sister Hui."

Lin Zhixing was quite surprised. It was more worry-free in a company like this. He nodded and said: "It's good that the price has increased by eight million. Let's take this price."

"Okay, then I'll sign a contract with them later."

Zhang Sihui smiled and said: "Last time you asked me to contact your Tang Music Troupe for the program "People's Stage". I contacted you, and the program team was also very interested, but..."

"but what?"

Zhang Sihui pursed her lips and said, "But I don't think it's appropriate to be on that show. On that kind of stage, singing is more popular with the audience, and playing is still at a disadvantage."

"There is such an opportunity right now. I don't know if you are willing to do it. There is a music program called "Summer of the Orchestra". It is a PK competition program between bands. I think it is fairer to be in the same track."

Competition between bands?

Lin Zhixing felt that what she said made sense. The reason why he thought of the "People's Stage" program before was because there was really no suitable stage. It would be good to compete on the same track.

"That's great, let's go on the "Summer of the Orchestra" program. When will it start?"

"OK."

Zhang Sihui explained in detail: "The competition will start in about a week. Our participating companies can go directly to say hello and ask your band to show them offline."

Lin Zhixing nodded, "That's OK, I'll go back and tell the band members."

…

As soon as I walked out of the office, the system beep sounded suddenly.

【Ding! 】

[Let’s have a battle between East and West! 】

[Form a Western orchestra and be rewarded with a film and television soundtrack with Western instruments. 】

"???"

"The contest between East and West? Western musical instruments and film and television soundtracks?"

Lin Zhixing was stunned for a while, and he probably figured out the purpose of the system, which was to let a hundred flowers bloom in this world.

The Tang Music Ensemble under his own studio is an orchestra that mainly uses Chinese ancient instruments, and the style also plans to always follow the route of Chinese style.

Establish a Western orchestra and obtain film and television soundtracks with Western instruments. They are probably the soundtracks of classic Hollywood movies, and the instruments are all Western-style.

If this Western orchestra is also included in "Summer of the Orchestra", it will be a contest between the East and the West.

Lin Zhixing thought of this and slapped his thigh.

When you founded the Tang Music Ensemble, you thought about how to make this orchestra famous? It must be compared with a very strong opponent.

It's a pity that there is no strong opponent when fighting against the classics of previous lives.

Now that there is a track, if a Western band is established, there will be a strong opponent!

It’s interesting to think about Western classics versus Eastern classics. It can be called an alien version of Guan Gong versus Qin Qiong.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Zhixing's mouth raised up to his ears.

If he founded a Western orchestra, he would no longer need to wear a vest and use the name "Lin Zhixing" openly.

I'll hit my waistcoat!

The scene of the two waves of fans quarreling with each other will definitely be interesting.

…

…

Good Luck Studio.

"long time no see!"

Zheng Lili pushed away the office workers and greeted Lin Zhixing and others with a smile.

The members of the Tang Music Troupe don't come to the studio often. Their daily job is to practice music. They often spend time in the company's musical instrument room. They haven't seen each other for a while.

"Sit, sit, sit."

Lin Zhixing smiled and poured a glass of water. He came to her specifically because he liked her connections. After all, the members of the Tang Music Troupe were well selected. It would be best if he could help with the establishment of a Western orchestra. .

Zheng Lili sipped her saliva and couldn't help but praise, "Brother Lin, I have watched all of your programs. "My Land" is so cool!"

Lin Zhixing smiled and replied, "The next issue will be even cooler!"

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to it."

Zheng Lili showed a wicked smile and asked: "Do you have any new music for me this time?"

"I'm writing a new song."

Lin Zhixing explained: "That's right, do you know the music program "Summer of the Orchestra"?"

Zheng Lili nodded, "Yes, we all who play musical instruments know this program. There are many powerful orchestras participating in it, such as the Philharmonic Orchestra who played the symphonic version of "Over the Moon" for you..."

"By the way, for the sake of ratings, the program team also invited top foreign orchestras, the Vienna Orchestra!"

Top foreign bands?

That’s interesting!

What I am fighting is the elite!

Lin Zhixing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "If you go to participate, what results do you think you can get?"

Zheng Lili raised her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "If I perform exceptionally, I am confident that I will win the top three!"

"Only the top three."

"The second possibility is also possible. The first one is probably from the Vienna Orchestra. Each of their musicians, taken individually, can be a teacher."

Lin Zhixing nodded after listening. After all, the members of his band had graduated not long ago. The average age of those band members was thirty or forty years old, and they were quite rich in experience and skills.

But it’s not a big problem. Although they are a bit inferior in experience and skills, they just need to far surpass them in terms of the quality of the music. The real opponent is still myself.

Lin Zhixing said: "I have discussed with the company and feel that the program "People's Stage" is not suitable for you. I have decided to help you sign up for "The Summer of the Orchestra". You can rest assured about the work."

"Really?"

Zheng Lili asked with her eyes wide open, very excited, "We really want to participate, but we are afraid of running into the show you asked us to be on, Brother Lin. It's great to be on this show! I have long wanted to compete with them. Yes, it proves that we are not bad either.”

"I hope you can achieve a good result!"

Lin Zhixing smiled and gave a thumbs up, and then said: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you for a favor."

Zheng Lili waved her hand generously, "Brother Lin, you're welcome. If you have anything you can say, I will definitely help you if I can."

"That's right."

Lin Zhixing did not hide anything and said bluntly: "I also want to form a Western orchestra to participate in this show. I want to have a musical collision between the East and the West."

Dong Chen on the side heard these words and looked at Lin Zhixing who spoke very calmly, his eyes widened in surprise.

Good guy, Brother Lin’s musical ambition is so big that no one can see it.

Zheng Lili was quite surprised after hearing this. She thought that since he dared to say this, it meant that he had already prepared Western instrumental music. It was terrible to be so productive.

"no problem."

Zheng Lili nodded happily, "Musicians for traditional instruments are harder to find. There are a lot of players for Western instruments. I will bring them to you within two days!"

"That's great, thank you very much, I'm tired!"

…

…

Two days later, it was ten o'clock in the morning.

A taxi stopped in front of Yida Records.

"Thank you, master!"

Zheng Lili pushed the man who was sleeping in the back seat and said, "We're here, Han Tao, wake up!"

This man named Han Tao is about the same age as Zheng Lili. He is fair and handsome, but a bit slovenly. He has an unshaven beard and wears flip-flops.

Han Tao rubbed his eyes and reached out to touch his pocket.

"The money is gone!"

Zheng Lili curled her lips and pulled him out of the car, who was very sleepy, "What made you so sleepy last night? You didn't sleep!"

Han Tao tucks his fried hair, "I was drinking with my brother yesterday, and my sister-in-law got angry and threw my brother into the corridor. I was trying to make love to my sister-in-law. It lasted all night, but I was exhausted. !”

Zheng Lili glanced at him, "Listening to you bragging here, why not go home and buy a radio? You haven't held the little girl's hand yet, right?"

Han Tao smiled and stretched out his hand, "Aren't I waiting for you? I don't like those girls. Can I hold your hand?"

"Just lie down and continue sleeping."

Zheng Lili sighed softly and said, "Did you book a night at the Internet cafe again last night? Can you make a little progress?"

"Ouch!"

Han Tao shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have a platform to make progress, so I'm going to help those who are inferior to me like you? I can't stand that anger! I can only teach a few students to make ends meet!"

Zheng Lili didn't say anything else. He did have the same experience as her. If she hadn't persisted, she might have ended up like this.

Five minutes later, another taxi stopped and three boys and one girl got out.

"Wow, I'll see you soon, Brother Ye. I'm so happy!"

"I can see the goddess Song Ge, hehe!"

The band members, except Han Tao, all like Fengqi Wutong very much, and they all come here for fame.

"Okay, everyone come with me!"

Zheng Lili waved and brought the band members into the company's musical instrument room.

…

Twenty minutes passed.

Lin Zhixing came to the musical instrument room and met the new band members recruited by Zheng Lili.

"Oh Brother Ye! I like you so much. I watch every one of your programs. I like your "Mrs. Luxury" the most!"

"Can I take a photo with you later?"

Before Lin Zhixing could introduce himself, everyone gathered together, and the scene turned into a star chasing scene.

Lin Zhixing was very happy to be so popular. He smiled and agreed one by one, "No problem, everything is fine."

After some self-introduction.

Lin Zhixing didn't remember everyone's names clearly, but they all looked familiar.

"Brother Lin, I'll ask them to play a part for you to listen to."

"Okay, okay."

All the instruments were prepared in advance, and under Zheng Lili's arrangement, the band members performed a very difficult piece of music.

"very good!"

After hearing this, Lin Zhixing thought it was good. Zheng Lili had a good eye for selecting people.

"Has Xiao Zheng told you about the salary? If you are willing to join my studio and participate in the program "Summer of the Orchestra", you can sign the contract at any time."

"We would like to participate!"

The members had already thought about joining and raised their hands without hesitation.

Han Tao glanced at Zheng Lili beside him, raised his hand with a smile and said, "I am willing to become colleagues with Sister Li!"

"Okay, thank you everyone for believing in me!"

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for winning the soundtrack "Por una Cabeza" for the movie "Scent of a Woman"! 】

The system prompt sounded, and all the memories about this song were retrieved.

Lin Zhixing's eyes lit up, "Is the famous tango song coming?"

The movie "Smell a Scent of a Woman" has been praised as a "must-see movie in life", with a rating of 9.1 on Douban. This song "Por una Cabeza", also known as "One Step Away", is a classic scene in the movie when the blind colonel dances song.

He has also appeared in many movies such as "Schindler's List", "True Lies", "Du Lala's Promotion", "The Untouchables" and so on.

Lin Zhixing loved the movie and the song so much that he even learned tango dance.

Once this song comes out, coupled with my outstanding dancing, it may lead to a new trend in the dance hall like square dancing.

The combination of "The Most Dazzling National Style" and square dancing is considered vulgar by some people.

Let me show you my beauty!

…

…

Shanghai Stock Exchange, in a private room of a hotel.

"Brother Zhou, let me toast you again!"

Zhao Fan raised his wine glass and toasted Zhou Xing, who was beside him with a red face.

After draining the glass of wine, he said angrily: "This show is so unfair. Some temporary workers made a mistake and treated people like monkeys!"

"Your mother's singing is so good. Isn't it normal for her to be recognized by the judges? She also changed the first place. I was really angry last time!"

After Zhou Dan heard this, he snorted coldly and poured himself another glass of wine. "The program team wants to do that, what can I do? Just surpass it next time."

Zhao Fan slammed the empty wine glass in his hand on the table, "I want to protest. If we don't fight for our rights now, they won't take us seriously in the future, and there will be more unfair things."

"How to protest?"

Zhou Dan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Writing lyrics for a diss program team? That's not good, right?"

"Our team has unanimously agreed that the next episode will all be rap songs in English!"

Is the song a bit too unpopular? I've never heard of it. I'll change it when I wake up tomorrow.
