They surrounded me right after the breakup.

Chapter 29: Let Me Show You the Chinese Music Library

Fang Chongwen was taken aback: "You majored in acting as an undergraduate, and I remember your second degree was in cultural industry management. The vocal courses in your major only covered basic techniques."

Jiang Han smiled and said, "That's why I need a few professionals who are good at composing music to help me."

"That's no problem. I'll arrange the production team; the key is the lyrics and music!"

"If I just hum a tune, can they find the corresponding sheet music and then arrange it?"

Fang Chongwen looked on in surprise. This kind of creative method based on intuition is usually reserved for truly gifted individuals.

They occasionally spontaneously produce wonderful melodies in their daily lives, and humming a few lines can turn them into widely popular songs.

He didn't recall Jiang Han displaying any talent in this area at school, but he also remembered that Jiang Han wasn't the type to talk nonsense.

Jiang Han looked at his teacher's incredulous expression and patted his chest.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—we'll definitely satisfy the teacher!"

"Good, good, good!" Fang Chongwen was overjoyed and said "good" three times in a row.

In the past six months, he has been exhausted by internal company struggles and has gradually lost the desire to produce music.

At this moment, it feels like I've rediscovered the person I was back then, the one who fought tooth and nail for the Golden Melody Awards.

Jiang Han's confidence was not blind; it stemmed from the vast and profound Chinese musical repertoire of his ancestors.

The development of culture and entertainment in this world is significantly behind that of the previous world, resulting in a lot of confusion and discrepancies in the timeline.

The fantasy drama series he just got his hands on is similar to the wildly popular "Fantasy 3" from back then.

Although the main characters are not Hu Ge and Yang Mi, the plot is roughly the same.

This means that the theme song, ending song, and even insert songs from the previous life can be used immediately.

Jiang Han certainly can't write songs, but humming a few lines is a piece of cake for him.

If it weren't for the upcoming acquisition of Star Moon Media, making him the company's behind-the-scenes boss, he wouldn't be willing to release several of his hit songs.

Jiang Han tried hard to recall the melody and lyrics of the song: "Teacher, do you have a recording studio here?"

Fang Chongwen nodded: "Of course! All kinds of audio equipment are readily available, I'll arrange it right away."

After saying that, he picked up the landline phone on the table.

"Xiao He, call Tingting and A-Jie over here. Wait, also call Mao Buyi, who just arrived yesterday."

Fang Chongwen's decisiveness allowed Jiang Han to see the reason for Xingyue Media's success.

They acted immediately without hesitation.

But when Jiang Han heard the last name the other party called, his heart skipped a beat.

No way?

Was he really a superstar before he became famous?

Three minutes later, a group of four, consisting of two men and two women, appeared in the office.

Jiang Han stared intently at the chubby boy standing in the corner.

Her long bangs covered her forehead, and she wore black-rimmed glasses, her eyes always avoiding direct eye contact.

Holy crap, it really is him!

Fang Chongwen stood up and said with a serious expression:

"From now on, the four of you should put aside all your work and fully cooperate with Jiang Han in song creation."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. If necessary, a 24-hour shift system will be adopted."

The usually amiable department head suddenly became so serious, and the four young people were also affected by it.

Jiang Han believes that with the abilities of the music division staff, transcribing songs is the most basic skill they possess.

The melody and lyrics of the song itself are excellent; the arrangement only needs to be moderately good.

Taking advantage of a break, Jiang Han couldn't help but lean close to Fang Chongwen's ear.

"Teacher, is Mao Buyi a signed singer with our company?"

Fang Chongwen: "He came over on his own initiative a couple of days ago, wanting to become a professional singer. I listened to a few of his original songs and secretly kept him to observe him."

"Oh, I trust the teacher's judgment."

Jiang Han secretly praised him, thinking that this was not just a discerning eye, but a true talent scout.

We must sign him a 50-year indenture contract right away!

Fang Chongwen returned to his seat and waved to the others.

"Everyone, sit down and let's discuss the specific division of labor."

"Let me introduce you first. This is Jiang Han, one of my most outstanding students from the Communication University of China."

"He received an urgent task to compose songs for fantasy dramas within two days."

"What? Did I hear that right? Two days?"

"Yes, yes, the time is too short, it's simply impossible!"

"What kind of idiot client is this? Don't they treat us like human beings?"

Two girls were chattering and complaining, while another boy named Xiao He immediately started swearing.

Only the inconspicuous chubby boy pouted, his eyes revealing a stubbornness.

Fang Chongwen coughed twice: "It was your Vice President Li Mingbo who made the request."

Xiao He, who had spoken so arrogantly, immediately deflated.

"The great General Manager Li is wise; it is I who am incompetent!"

It's easy to see just how bad Lee Myung-bak's reputation was within the company, and how he must have oppressed his lower-level employees quite a bit on a daily basis.

"He's a complete idiot!" Fang Chongwen sneered.

The three young men didn't say anything, but they nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that idiot for now. Jiang Han, you tell us your specific thoughts."

"Okay, teacher."

"This TV series, called Immortal Destiny, mainly tells the story of the adventure of everyone searching for the Five Elemental Pearls in order to seal the Demon Locking Tower."

"It involves the love story between the male and female protagonists in their past and present lives, as well as the ancient cause and effect of the war between gods and demons."

"Therefore, I think the song should focus on the emotional entanglements of the characters across several lifetimes."

Fang Chongwen nodded in agreement.

The theme song aligns with the central theme of the film and television drama, effectively resonating with the audience and achieving synergy between sound and visuals.

"What are the specific details? With such a tight schedule, we don't have room for trial and error."

Jiang Han was full of confidence: "I've memorized most of the lyrics and melody... The concept is almost complete, but there may be a few parts that need to be supplemented by everyone."

He almost let slip that, after all, a considerable amount of time had passed, and he couldn't guarantee he could sing the original song word for word.

But the most important and captivating climax is perfectly fine.

Fang Chongwen immediately made the decision: "In that case, let's get started right away and use Recording Studio No. 1."

At his command, four young men led Jiang Han into a room filled with professional equipment.

Fang Chongwen was unable to attend in person due to other work commitments.

However, he repeatedly instructed Jiang Han to inform him immediately if he encountered any problems or difficulties in his creative process.

Pushing open the heavy soundproof door, the environment inside instantly pulled the group into a tense working state.

The room is rectangular, and the ceiling is a diffused nebula panel.

In the center of the room is a huge L-shaped control panel, the main body of which is a classic SSL 9000K analog mixing console.

Various external effects pedals are scattered across the table.

Behind the mixing console are four 32-inch monitors, with professional recording software running on the screens.

In addition, it is equipped with a complete set of playing equipment, including guitars, basses, drums, and more.

Jiang Han walked up to the microphone.

"Let me first sing out the general melody and lyrics of the first song that comes to mind, record it, and then you can arrange the corresponding chords and accompaniment. Is that alright?"

The four nodded seriously and quickly sat down at the control panel to divide the tasks.

Jiang Han cleared his throat, closed his eyes, and began to sing a cappella.

"Forget yesterday, now you're right in front of me."

"I want to love, please give me a chance."

"If I'm wrong, I'll take responsibility; I'm convinced you're the answer."
