He was indeed very strict and strived for perfection in every detail.
When Wang Jiang was playing just now, it was accompanied by the sound of artificial rain and the noise at the scene. Thus, the flaws in his performance werenât obvious then. But it was not the same now that he was playing in the recording studio.
The interpreter said a few words to the executive director, who said to Wang Jiang, âMr. Wang, go and rest for a while. You can come back to film in the afternoon.â
Wang Jiang was indeed tired. He nodded and said, âOkay.â
After he left, Qiao Weiyang asked the German director, âWhat style and type do you want?â
âI want the carefreeness of a road scene, but the feeling his music gives off is too feminine. I donât like it very much. In fact, it doesnât match the style of this commercial.â
Everyone felt that it was a little difficult to convey the German directorâs abstract request to Wang Jiang. Moreover, even if they knew how to relay the message, Wang Jiang might not be able to give the effect the director wanted.
After all, everyone had their own fixed style of playing. It was not easy to suddenly make such drastic changes.
Qiao Weiyang could roughly understand. There was a piano beside her. She reached out and tried a few notes on it before playing the music she had just heard.
The German director immediately stood up and said excitedly, âThatâs the feeling. Okay, thatâs it! Continue, continue, donât stop!â
Qiao Weiyang did not stop. She stood and continued to play.
Everyone did not understand what it meant when the director said he wanted a carefree feeling just now, but Qiao Weiyangâs piano music made them understand. Listening to her performance made them feel like they were galloping on the highway.
What was rare was that Qiao Weiyang did not have any piano score in front of her. She only relied on the memory of listening to Wang Jiangâs performance just now to recreate the entire tune on the piano. It was indeed very impressive.
The German director walked to Qiao Weiyangâs side and patted her shoulder. âMiss Qiao, come on. I want to play with you!â
Qiao Weiyang put down her fingers from the piano keys and smiled. âItâs my honor.â
The executive director had more or less understood the German directorâs wishes. He said to his assistant beside him, âPay Mr. Wang his salary. He doesnât have to come over in the afternoon. Include Qiao Weiyangâs name in the credits and use her performance after that.â
Qiao Weiyang re-recorded the music quickly. When the time came, they could edit it and use it for the commercial.
After recording, she went to eat.
At noon, the executive director released the nine-second concept version of this advertisement as a benefit for Qiao Weiyangâs fans.
In the nine-second video, the piano piece played by Qiao Weiyang was recorded. Although it was only a few seconds, the fans were happy enough. [I really didnât expect that Weiyang played this tune herself.]
[Weiyang, how many other talents do you have that we donât know about?
Share them with us! We can take it!]
[Itâs so beautiful. Iâve replayed it many times.]
When Wang Jiang was packing his things and leaving, Liu Yajing walked to his side and greeted, âMr. Wang, are you leaving just like that?â
âMy work is done. Iâll leave immediately.â
âMr. Wang, speaking of which, I really feel sorry for you,â Liu Yajing said calmly.
âWhat?â Wang Jiang didnât know what she meant.
Liu Yajing asked, âHave you received your remuneration?â
âOf course. Iâve completed my job, so I naturally have to be paid.â
âItâs a pity that although you got paid, completed your work, and were even conscientious, they let Qiao Weiyang take your place in the credits. Sigh, it seems this is the fate of people who arenât popular. They can be at the mercy of others at any time.â
Wang Jiang kept frowning. âWhat do you mean?â
âI donât mean anything. I just feel sorry for you. Take a look for yourself.â Liu Yajing handed her phone to Wang Jiang. âIf it were me, I would definitely be furious.
In the short nine-second ad, Qiao Weiyangâs name was clearly written as credit for the piano performance. Wang Jiang naturally couldnât help but frown.
For people in the music industry, the right to their music was more important than the remuneration they received!
Wang Jiang did not expect to make a name for himself with just an advertisement, but he could not tolerate them putting Qiao Weiyangâs name on the music he played!
Liu Yajing stood at the side and sighed. âSigh, just bear with it. In this circle, people step on the low and worship the high. Iâm used to it.â
She was used to it, but it did not mean that Wang Jiang was used to it.
He was so angry that he couldnât even be bothered to communicate with the production team directly. He directly questioned on the internet why they credited Qiao Weiyang for his work.
He was quite famous in the piano industry. This time, he was invited by the executive assistant director and rushed over to the set. After a series of angry questions, it naturally caused a lot of discussion.
Soon, his anger pushed him to the trending searches.
Doubts about Qiao Weiyang followed.
[Qiao Weiyang is indeed very efficient and experienced in filming advertisements. But no matter what, itâs still unacceptable for her to take credit for someone elseâs work, right?]
[She even wants to steal this? This is Mr. Wang Jiangâs performance! ]
[I really couldnât tell that Qiao Weiyang was such a person!]
[She caused such a big commotion just by filming an advertisement. What is Qiao Weiyang doing?!]
Wang Jiang waited angrily for the production team to call him and apologize.
He didnât need any other compensation. What belonged to him was his. This was normal. He just wanted an explanation.
After Qiao Weiyang took a nap, Tao Huan ran over and handed her the phone. âSister Weiyang, look.â
Qiao Weiyang glanced at the contents and knew that Wang Jiang must have misunderstood. It was probably because the production team was busy with work that no one communicated with him.
She stood up and said, âIâll go look for the executive director.â
The executive director slapped his forehead. âI forgot to tell Mr. Wang. At that time, there were too many things going on and I didnât have time to care about it. Besides, most of the time, thereâll be recordings that are not used. Mr. Wang was too impatientâ¦
âThen settle it now.â Tao Huan couldnât help but say, âAlthough this is a small matter, itâll be a huge loss to Sister Weiyangâs reputation.â
âAlright, Iâll talk to Mr. Wang Jiang.â
The executive director went to call Wang Jiang. Unexpectedly, Wang Jiang didnât believe that Qiao Weiyang had really played the piano piece. âIf she really played it, why didnât you say so earlier?â Wang Jiang was very angry and felt that the production team was not sincere at all..
