How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 233 Why are you so talented?

Zhang Wen drove back to the company. As soon as he entered the training department, he saw Jiang Li sitting at his workstation, with her agent Liu Qing beside her. The two were whispering, and no one knew what they were talking about.

"Sister Li..."

Zhang Wen had just opened his mouth and hadn't finished his words when Jiang Li suddenly stood up and walked towards him quickly.

"Brother, you are finally back."

After saying that, he opened his arms and gave someone an intimate hug without caring about the other people in the office.

Everyone around was stunned and thought: Teacher Zhang is awesome, he has such a good relationship with Sister Li?
"Sister Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Zhang Wen said, "But it's not too late for you to change your mind now."

"It's impossible to change my mind. I won't change my mind in this lifetime." Jiang Li let go of Zhang Wen and pointed to the agent behind her. "Look, the contract is already here. My name is on it. All that's missing is your signature."

Liu Qing handed over the document in her hand. "Teacher Zhang, this is the buyout agreement I drafted. Please take a close look at it. If there are no problems, please sign your name on the last page."

Zhang Wen took out a pen from his pocket, turned to the last page, wrote his name on it, then closed the contract and returned it.

Liu Qing was holding the contract, stunned. After a moment, she asked, "Teacher Zhang, don't you want to take a look? How about I explain it to you?"

"No need, I trust Sister Li." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"..." Liu Qing was speechless.

I thought: This young man is too naive! Doesn't he know that people are treacherous?

"Brother, you are so generous. I will transfer the money to you right away. Just tell me your bank card number." Jiang Li said as she took out her mobile phone to prepare for the transfer.

When Zhang Wen saw it, he immediately told her his bank card number.

In fact, the so-called "magnanimity" mainly comes from self-confidence. If Sister Li dares to set some traps in the agreement, he has a way to ruin the other party's reputation without anyone knowing.

The hundreds of intermediate negative personality derivatives in Wenqu Tower are not kept for fun. As long as he wants, he can easily drive a healthy person crazy.

This is more satisfying than a slap in the face.

Soon, Zhang Wen received a reminder of the arrival of the money.

"Brother, do you have anything else to do later?" Jiang Li asked.

"No." Zhang Wen shook his head.

If it weren't for the eight million, he wouldn't have come back so early.

"Come with me to the recording studio and discuss the arrangement with Wang Qi." Jiang Li didn't hesitate to pull her new brother's arm and left, fearing that he would find an excuse to refuse.

As the old saying goes: Help others to the end, and help Buddha to the west.

Zhang Wen had no choice but to follow the other party to the recording studio, which was considered as after-sales service.

When Wang Qi saw Zhang Wen coming in with Sister Li, his eyes were as bright as the North Star in the summer night.

She spent the whole day in the recording studio and even forgot to go out for lunch. She kept studying the song sheet in her hand. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. The more she listened to it, the better it sounded. She was completely immersed in the emotions expressed in the song "Rebirth" and couldn't extricate herself.

She didn't believe in love at first sight before, but today, she believed it.

It's really the kind of feeling that you fall in love with it at first sight, and the more you look at it, the more you like it.

"Teacher Zhang, you are here. Please take a seat." Wang Qi stood up enthusiastically, gave up his chair, and picked up another chair from the side to sit on.

You have to know that as a gold medal music producer, even the king of singers would not receive such treatment.

In the recording studio, the king and queen of singing have to listen to her, but in front of Teacher Zhang, she has to listen to the other party, because only by listening to the songwriter's story can she compose a better song.

Zhang Wen sat down without hesitation. On the table in front of him was the song sheet that he had given to Wang Qi in the morning.

"Teacher Zhang, please tell us more about your thoughts when you were composing this song. The more detailed the better." Wang Qi said excitedly, his eyes fixed on the man's face, as if he was afraid of missing anything.

As the singer, Jiang Li also came over to understand the songwriter's ideas, which was of great help to her singing and facilitated the expression of emotions.

Two different aromas came towards Zhang Wen from the left and right, and they smelled very good.

It’s a pity that this is a recording studio and a workplace.

Which man doesn’t like the feeling of being caught in the middle?

"The process of creating this song is not complicated. Because it is a song written for Sister Li, the first person I thought of is Sister Li..." Zhang Wen talked incessantly and began his performance.

That’s right, it was a performance. After all, this song was given to him by his great-grandfather. All he could do was make up a good story. No one would expose him anyway.

Jiang Li and Wang Qi were soon fascinated by the story.

Women are emotional animals. After hearing the delicate emotional analysis, they were immediately moved.

As the heroine, Jiang Li regarded Zhang Wen as a confidant and nodded frequently while listening. Wang Qi also became a little fan girl again and listened so seriously and attentively.

Zhang Wen spoke for an hour before stopping.

In addition to the creative process, he also talked about the meaning of each line of lyrics and the emotions the lyrics wanted to express. He explained it in such detail that he almost broke down the strokes of each word and explained them.

In the end, even he began to admire himself.

Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen, how come you are so good at making up stories?
Oh, no, it should be: How come you are so talented?
After the explanation, we will officially enter the screenwriting stage.

Zhang Wenben was about to leave, but Jiang Li and Wang Qi refused to let him go no matter what, saying that he was the composer and his suggestions and opinions were very important to the quality of the arrangement.

Later, someone even hugged one of his arms, and the scene was like a kidnapping scene.

Originally, the two women couldn't do anything to him. With that little strength, he could just move his arms to throw the people away, but the problem was that he couldn't move his arms.

Jiang Li was wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt, while Wang Qi was only wearing a T-shirt. Their arms were tightly hugged by the two men. It felt like any movement would be considered hooliganism.

Faced with attacks from both sides, Zhang Wen finally had no choice but to compromise.

However, what he didn't expect was that this compromise directly pushed him into the abyss of overtime.

He originally planned to stay in the recording studio until the end of the day, but after the end of the day, Jiang Li and Wang Qi had no intention of letting him go.

Whenever he mentioned it, the two women would say wait a moment, and when he mentioned it again, the two women would use the tactic of attacking him from both sides again, as if they were sure to defeat him.

Wang Qi even ordered takeout in front of him, and Jiang Li also arranged for her assistant to go downstairs to buy some snacks and drinks, as if they were going to stay up all night.

Zhang Wen figured that even if he left now, he'd still be learning sign language with Bai Lu, so he decided not to mention leaving and stayed to offer suggestions for the arrangement. He worked until after 9 p.m., and when he felt it was almost time, he took advantage of Jiang Li and Wang Qi's lowered guard and slipped out of the company under the pretense of going to the bathroom, giving the two female kidnappers no chance to unleash their skills.

When he arrived at Bai Lu's house, the sign language class had just ended, and the timing was just right.

Looking at the sign language teacher leaving in the car, Zhang Wen directly picked up Bai Lu beside him. He had been waiting for this moment all day.

Go upstairs and put on your stockings!

……

the next day.

Zhang Wen drove Bai Lu to the special education school, then had breakfast nearby, and then headed to the company at a leisurely pace.

He didn't have to go to the rich ladies' place today, so he had more time. However, when he walked into the training department and saw the woman standing next to his workstation, the corners of his mouth immediately drooped.

That is Sister Li’s assistant Yang Ziqing.

It was unknown how long the other party had been waiting there, but when he saw him, he immediately ran over quickly.

"Teacher Zhang……"

"Stop, no need to say more, I know." Zhang Wen reached out to stop the other person from saying the next sentence, "Sister Li is in the recording studio, right? I'll go there now."

The young assistant thought that Teacher Zhang was amazing. She hadn't said anything yet, but the other party knew everything.

Zhang Wen came to the recording studio from last night. Jiang Li and Wang Qi were both there. They were not wearing the same clothes as yesterday. It was obvious that they had changed at home.

"Good morning, Sister Li, good morning, Teacher Wang."

"Brother, weren't you so mean last night? Why did you leave us and go away alone?" Jiang Li asked. At first she didn't take it seriously, thinking that the other party had a stomachache, until she received a WeChat message, then she realized that the person would not come back.

"Sister Li, I'm doing this for your own good. To be honest, as a man, I don't mind staying up late, but it's different for you. Staying up late is bad for your skin. Last time, we stayed up all night for Tang Yi's debut song, and Teacher Wang looked so haggard the next day. Be careful of premature aging. I think you'll only be willing to leave work if I'm gone." Zhang Wen said confidently.

On the way here, he had already thought of the reason.

When Jiang Li heard the words "prematurely aging", she became nervous and quickly touched her face with her hands. Although she has always been a talented actress, as a woman, she still cares a lot about her appearance.

Wang Qi was even more worried. He immediately picked up his phone and turned on the selfie mode, taking pictures left and right. Finally, he asked, "Teacher Zhang, did I really look terrible after my last all-nighter?"

"It's not ugly, it's just listless," Zhang Wen said. "If a person loses their spirit, their appearance will look dull and lack vitality."

"Really? I have to be more careful next time." Wang Qi said seriously.

In the past, she didn’t care about her appearance, and it was common for her to stay in the company for several days when she was busy. But now, she didn’t want to show her sloppy side in front of Teacher Zhang.

For this reason, she didn't even add garlic juice to her tofu pudding this morning as usual, for fear that the other person would smell it when they worked together today.

Seeing that he had successfully changed the topic, Zhang Wen pulled a chair over from the side and joined in today's arrangement work.

Jiang Li didn't dwell on what happened last night. After all, Teacher Zhang was here purely to help, so how could she have the nerve to complain? If she had to, it was out of gratitude.

The arranging work continues.

Before coming to Tianxi Media, Zhang Wen didn't know how to compose music, but since his last collaboration with Wang Qi, he inadvertently learned some, which made the second collaboration go particularly smoothly.

He doesn't understand music, but he understands aesthetics, and he has a lot of ideas, which he uses in arranging music, and actually brings some unexpected surprises, often even amazed the two professional musicians around him.

This is probably what is called: a random punch can kill a master.

The time soon came to noon.

Zhang Wen had another set of theories, which made the two women who were originally planning to order takeout leave the recording studio very reluctantly and go to the company cafeteria to eat with him.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Zhang Wen chose a pork elbow rice as usual, while Jiang Li and Wang Qi each had a bowl of noodles with soybean paste.

The three of them had just sat down when someone came over.

"Teacher Zhang, Sister Li, Teacher Wang, you're all here." Tang Yi said with surprise, then pointed to the empty seat next to Zhang Wen and asked, "Is anyone here? Can I sit here?"

"No one's here. Please sit down." Zhang Wen asked, "Why are you in the company today?"

"Teacher Zhang, I've been in the company recently. Didn't you help me pick a few songs? I've been practicing them all the time." Tang Yi said.

Zhang Wen was stunned when he heard it. The other party did say it, but he had been too busy recently and forgot about it. He suddenly remembered that he had promised the other party to help revise the lyrics and music, so he took out the revised song sheet from his wallet and handed it to the other party.

"This is the song you wrote. I've revised it."

"So fast?" Tang Yi put down his chopsticks, took the music sheet excitedly, and even stopped eating as he began to read it carefully.

"Modify the song?" Wang Qi immediately became interested. He stretched his neck to glance at the paper in Tang Yi's hand. Perhaps he couldn't see clearly, so he stood up and walked around the table to stand beside Tang Yi, staring at the music score intently.

Zhang Wen did not modify the music, but only changed some of the lyrics. This time he did not use the song he got from Xingjun Cifu, that is to say, the modified lyrics were all thought up by him.

He doesn't understand the melody, but he does understand the lyrics.

What are the lyrics?
Lyrics are an expression of life and emotions, and he has extraordinary experiences and knowledge in these two aspects.

He just wrote down his feelings, that's all.

As for whether it is good or not, and whether it can be used or not, that is Tang Yi’s business.

Tang Yi carefully looked at the lyrics written by Teacher Zhang. The new lyrics were just below the original lyrics, so the comparison was clear at a glance.

She was not satisfied with the lyrics she had written before, but now when she saw the new lyrics, she suddenly felt that Teacher Zhang was in tune with her.

All the lyrics that she had thought of but didn't know how to express were now written by Teacher Zhang. It felt like a blow to her soul.

"Teacher Zhang, your revision is so good. I have decided to use it." Tang Yi said excitedly.

After reading it, Wang Qi returned to his seat and when he looked at the man again, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

To be honest, the previous melody and lyrics were average, but after the new lyrics, it was as if a dull person was given rich emotions, making the whole song brand new.

It is not difficult to see from these lyrics that the lyricist is not only a person with a life, but also a person with rich emotions. Although there are no gorgeous words, he has expressed the voices of many people.

This man is so charming.
