177 But he gave too much

Yan Xingzhou came from the Chinese language and literature major in key universities. After graduation, he joined a newspaper company as an editor. Not only is he a professional match, but he is also more in line with his personal ambitions.

In addition to daily work, Yan Xingchu's biggest hobbies are reading and writing. Of course, he wrote not novels, but criticism articles in music, movies, etc., as well as life prose. These are all things he is willing to write, and he can still write without the need for manuscript fees. There is no motivation to make a profit, no one urges him to only write what he wants to write, no matter whether anyone appreciates it - in his opinion, this is pure writing.

As for the music commentary articles I posted on my WeChat public account later, they received many attention, which was an unexpected surprise.

And now it seems that this unexpected surprise has brought more opportunities?

The other end of the phone seemed to have thought about it and continued, "Yes, it can be said to be an advertisement, but I am very confident in the quality of this work. You can listen first, if you think it is not suitable, then forget it."

Yan Xingzhou swallowed.

He suddenly realized that the WeChat official account in his hand seemed to be a bowl of food. Yan Xingzhou, who had never made money directly by writing, felt that there seemed to be two completely different choices in front of him.

Or, stick to the original intention of the author of the text, do not charge, and be firmly honest with yourself and readers.

Or, get the advertising fee and start a pretty good side job.

How should you choose?

With his long-standing habits and ideas, he should actually reject such a philandering business requirement. But the desperate situation he faces at his job now makes him think carefully.

So Yan Xingcheon replied, "I want to consider it again, is that OK?"

Wang Heng: "What are you considering?"

Yan Xingcheon: "I never thought about making money with this before, and advertising like this..."

Wang Heng: "Three thousand."

Yan Xingcheon: "What?"

Wang Heng: "One price, three thousand."

Yan Xingzhou still couldn't believe his ears: "Wait... Can you say it again?"

Wang Heng: "I will repeat it last time, and I ask you to write a recommendation article and comment on my singer and that song in a more professional and positive way. One article costs 3,000 yuan, the key is positive, you know."

Yan Xingzhou's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Ten seconds ago he was hesitating, but at this moment, he replied without hesitation: "No problem, I'll write!"

Just an article, it’s enough to make up for my half-month salary. What else can I hesitate about?

Writing articles to praise for advertising costs does violate his long-standing concept... but the manuscript fees are too much.

———

Wang Heng hung up the phone, returned the phone to Ye Xun, and gave a thumbs up with a smile: "Do it."

Ye Xun was a little stunned: "Is an article worth three thousand yuan?"

Pei Ningle on the side was also a little unbelievable: "Are you a little too generous?"

Wang Heng shook his head: "To make people convinced, you must give enough rewards. And now everyone just doesn't understand WeChat public accounts, so they don't have an accurate assessment of the value. I read his article and the comments below. The recognition and stickiness of those readers are worth the price."

Pei Ningle was still a little suspicious: "Is that right? Anyway, I have to sing in the bar for more than ten days to get so much money."

"It's okay, I'll pay, you don't have to worry about it."

Wang Heng spoke a little overbearingly, and seemed to feel unreasonable. But this kind of performance was slightly unexpectedly charming in Pei Ningle's eyes.

In her impression, Wang Heng has always been a gentle boy, and the side he shows now... in short, it's just not annoying.

Ye Xun said worriedly: "But are you enough money? I didn't give you tutoring fees since last month."

"Oh by the way, you don't know," Wang Heng smiled, "I helped others manage their finances and speculate on Bitcoin before, and I also invested in it, and I made some money. So you definitely don't need to worry that I don't have enough money."

"Bitcoin?" Ye Xun was stunned.

"Yes, about hundreds of thousands..."

Wang Heng continued to explain, but Pei Ningle couldn't help but secretly be happy.

Look, he told himself first and then Ye Xun, what does this mean?

———

Before hearing that song, Yan Xingcheon received a transfer from the other party, a total of 1,000 yuan.

The moment he saw the transfer text message, he began to conceive - even if the song the other party was going to promote was really not good, he had to find something to praise, this is professionalism!

Then, clicking on the link sent by his agent Wang Heng, Yan Xingzhou began to listen to this song "Lost".

"The arrangement is very simple, to put it in a better way... minimalist?"

As soon as the prelude began, Yan Xingzhou had already tried to find good words. But after a few seconds, when the girl's voice sounded, he immediately forgot the good words he had just found.

"This voice, this voice..."

A few minutes later, the song was played, and Yan Xingzhou looked at the blank document on the computer screen and suddenly didn't know how to start.

Before listening to music, he had actually thought about the beginning, but now if you think about it carefully, how can that clichéd beginning describe such a good voice?

Yes, the key is the voice. In his opinion, the arrangement of this song is really average, and it can even be said to be simple. The melody is smooth, but it is not very amazing. The lyrics are good, but some of the words are a little awkward. The whole song is not outstanding, but it is very outstanding with this voice and very good.

He suddenly had an idea and found the angle to write.

[The so-called good sound is a subjective criterion of judgment, just like some people like seafood, while others respect it. The same is true for music. Different people will give different opinions on what kind of voice is a good voice. But I have to say that just today, an indescribable voice hit the softest part of my heart...]

In this way, Yan Xingchu took his personal subjective feelings as the starting point and first wrote about his own feelings of listening to this song, and praised the voice of the singer named Pei Ningle.

But this is definitely not enough. After all, the previous articles have analyzed the musicality, and it is definitely unreasonable not to mention this article at all.

So, after praising his voice, he finally began to discuss the creation of the song:

[Whether it is lyrics and music creation or accompaniment arrangement, one key point cannot be escaped, that is, as a song, what is its soul. In rock music, the voice of the lead singer is often just an instrument, not much more important than bass and drums, so we can see that abandoning the vocal post-shaking can also form a wave.]

[But pop music is different, the core is always the vocal. Because the vocal is the core, the lyrics and music arrangements must be serviced around the singer's voice. And this song is an excellent example...]

Yan Xingzhou was so impressed by such a new perspective that he was almost impressed by himself. Looking at the advance payment of 1,000 yuan, he was even more motivated.

What? Literary character? What is that? Can it be eaten?
