  Chapter 113 The Composer in a Bottleneck

   To Matsuhashi's question, Take Yusei replied: "Yes, I am indeed looking for someone to make music for the game, what? Do you have a recommended person?"

  Songqiao nodded and said, "There is indeed a person to choose, it is the brother of a good friend of mine."

   Zhu Youxing was interested and asked, "How is your level?"

Matsuhashi nodded seriously and said, "His composition skills are very good. He was quite famous when he was young. At that time, he could be regarded as having unlimited potential. At that time, many record companies invited him to become a composer. Because of some changes, he is unwilling to compose any more songs."

   "Change? What kind of change?"

"Well...that's why he said that he had encountered a bottleneck, that he couldn't compose better songs, and then he couldn't break through, he became more and more depressed, and finally got drunk every day and never cheered up again, until he used to earn money. The money he got was gradually squandered, and he gradually returned to normal. At this time, he regretted it and wanted to return to music production, but no one needed him anymore."

  Matsuhashi paused for a while, and then continued: "Their family is having a hard time now. If he can find a job producing music, he should be very happy."

   sounds like someone who was willing to go crazy for music when he was young, so maybe look into it.

   Zhu Yuxing was interested: "Bring a copy of his music to me and have a look. If it meets my standards, I am willing to give him a job."

With the consent of Take Yusei, Matsuhashi seemed very happy, and she quickly said: "Then I will replace my friend and thank you, President, my friend often worries about his brother, because my friend's brother used to look down on him. Music is like life, but I wasted more than ten years because of my own reasons."

Zhu Youxing said: "You don't need to thank me, I just said and listened to it. If he meets the requirements, it is his own ability, and it has nothing to do with whether I agree or not. If he is incompetent, then your recommendation will not be accepted. too much."

   Take Yusei is very serious about Final Fantasy's soundtrack.

  In Final Fantasy, music is one of the souls, which is far more important than the soundtrack of many games. That is the feature of Final Fantasy. If the soundtrack cannot be found suitable, he would rather not make this game.

   The next day, Matsuhashi took over the tape of her friend's brother.

   Looking at the packaging of the tape, it is obviously the kind of work that has not been released to the public. The label of the tape has a name written on it: Makoto Sakai.

He was sure that he had never heard of the name   , not even in the memory of the original owner. It seemed that it was just a little bit of fame.

   "President, the third song is his most proud work and the last song he composed. After that, he hasn't composed any more works."

  Take Yuxing shoved the tape into the tape machine while listening, and asked at the same time, "If you don't create works for more than ten years, will you gradually become unfamiliar?"

   "This...I'm not sure either." Matsuhashi answered honestly.

   She is just trying it out now to see if she can help a bunch of friends.

   But if it really doesn't meet Take Yusei's standards, she can fully understand that the president is a person who strives for perfection, otherwise he would not have created such a classic video game.

   "Let's hear it first."

   Take Yusei then pressed the play button.

   After a stinging sound, it was a male voice clearing his throat, and soon the soft humming sound began to accompany the guitar.

This person's voice is not very good, but the rhythm and tone of his guitar are quite good, which largely makes up for the disadvantage of his singing voice. singing voice.

The performance of    has raised the voice of the singer, which was originally only five or six points, to the level of seven or eight points, which is quite rare.

  The first song is sung with only guitar accompaniment.

   Take Yusei thinks it's not bad, especially the guitar he plays is really unique.

   However, the music of Final Fantasy is not mainly guitar, and he intends to continue listening to it.

  The next piece is a solo violin. The overall music sounds very comfortable, giving people a feeling of walking under the rising sun, relaxed and at ease. He is indeed a very good composer.

   What is the bottleneck that such a person encounters?

  Take Yusei is not a composer, but he doesn't quite understand this, so he can only listen to it.

   "Not bad, the performance of these two pieces of music is quite good. Speaking of which, how old is your friend's brother?"

   "Already forty years old."

  Some famous composers more than ten years ago, and then encountered a bottleneck?

   Then it's really hard to remember, unless it's someone who's really household name to be able to impress.

   This short-lived composer is easy to ignore.

   Then, Take Yusei played the next piece of music.

   This time, it is no longer the performance of one instrument, but an ensemble of multiple instruments.

   This piece of music is also more than half the level. It should be played with a performance device such as an electronic organ. The overall music style is a little dreamy and confused.

   Since this is the last piece of music he made, and it is also the one he is most proud of, he should have sensed his own bottleneck at this time, and then expressed it in the music.

   This is very qualified music, and it can already reach the standard of Take Yusei for Final Fantasy music.

   Those music producers in the past were not very good, mainly because Take Yusei always felt that they did not fit the psychedelic style of Final Fantasy with a bit of freshness.

Some are either too flat in the music style, some are too old, or too modern, all of which are a little bit meaningless, but this one is at least above the passing line of his own standard, about eight points, maybe not perfect. But if this person is willing to accept his own training and let him compose and play the music according to his designated style, there should be a chance of raising it to a score of nine or more, which can already be compared with Nobuo Uematsu, the final fantasy royal musician in his previous life.

   When the third piece of music was over, the voice of Makoto Sakai came from the tape.

   "Thank you for listening, thank you very much, if you have any shortcomings, please feel free to point out, I am willing to do my best to be the best."

The sound of    ended, and the tape came to the end.

  Matsuhashi looked at Zhu Yuxing with a hint of anticipation.

   "President, what do you think?"

   Take Yusei pondered.

   He was still wondering if this Sakai really met his requirements.

   Eight points are not low.

   It should be really hard to find a ninth score from the very beginning, who is comparable to Nobuo Uematsu, the official musician of Final Fantasy.

   So, choose this one?

   Well, just this one, if you want to find a more suitable one, I am afraid it is comparable to winning the lottery. Besides, you can also train in the future.

   But I just don’t know if this person is arrogant and arrogant. If it is such a person, it is not very good.

   "I think it's good, I can let him come over at some time, I want to see it with my own eyes." Zhu Yuxing said with a smile.

  Matsuhashi breathed a sigh of relief.

   Her friend had entrusted her for a long time, hoping that she could help her brother find a suitable job. Now it seems that there is finally hope, and she feels very happy.
