to matsuhashi's question, takeyuki replied, "yes, i'm really looking for someone to make music for the game, how?" do you have a recommended candidate? "
matsuhashi nodded and said, "there is indeed a candidate, the brother of one of my friends." "
takeyuki became interested and asked, "how's the level?" "
matsuhashi nodded seriously and said, "his level of composition is very good, he was also a little famous when he was young, he could be called unlimited potential at that time, at that time many record companies invited him to become a composer, but because of some changes, he was reluctant to write songs." "
"change? what kind of changes? "
"well... it was he who said that he himself had encountered a bottleneck, that he could not create better songs, and then he could not break through, he became more and more depressed, and finally bought drunk every day, and never cheered up again, until the money he earned in the past was gradually squandered, and he gradually returned to the ordinary, at this time he had some regrets, wanted to return to music production work, but no one needed him anymore. "
matsuhashi paused, then continued, "now that their family is having a hard time, he would be happy if he could find a job making music." "
it sounds like a young man who was willing to go crazy for music, so maybe you can investigate.
takeyuki was interested: "bring me a copy of his music and show it to me, and if it meets my standards, i'm willing to give him a job." "
with takeyuki's consent, matsuhashi seemed to be very happy, and she hurriedly said, "then i will first thank the president in place of my friend, my friend often worries about his brother, because my friend's brother once regarded music as life, but he wasted more than ten years of time because of his own reasons." "
zhu youxing said: "don't thank me, i just said to listen, if it meets the requirements, it is his own ability, and whether i agree or not has nothing to do with it, if he is not capable, then your recommendation will not play much role." "
takeyuki takes final fantasy's soundtrack seriously.
in final fantasy, music is one of the souls, far more important than the soundtrack of many games, which is the characteristic of final fantasy, and if the soundtrack can't find the right one, he'd rather not do it.
the next day, matsuhashi took the tape of her friend's brother.
looking at the packaging of the tape, it is obvious that it is the kind of work that has not been made public, and the label paper of the tape has a name written on it: makoto sakai.
he was sure that he had not heard of this name, not even in the memory of the original owner, and it seemed that it really should be just a little famous.
"president, the third of them is his most proud work and the last song he composed, and he has not written any more since then."
zhu youxing tucked the tape into the tape drive while listening, and asked: "if you don't create works for more than ten years, will you gradually become unfamiliar?" "
"this... i'm not sure either. matsuhashi answered very honestly.
she's just trying it out now to see if she can help a bunch of friends.
but if it really does not meet the standards of takeyuki, she can fully understand that the president is a person who strives for excellence, otherwise he would not have created such a classic video game.
"let's hear it first."
takeyuki then pressed the play button.
after a stinging sound, it was a male voice that cleared its throat, and soon the soft humming sound began to slowly sound along with the guitar.
this man's voice is not very good, but the rhythm and tone of his guitar is quite good, which largely makes up for the disadvantage of his own singing voice, which can be said to be nine points of playing composition, and about five or six points of singing.
the performance has raised the original voice of only five or six points, raising it to the level of seven or eight points, which is already quite rare.
the first song is sung with only the accompaniment of the guitar.
takeyuki thinks it's not bad, especially since the guitar he plays is really unique.
however, final fantasy music is not guitar-based, and he plans to continue listening to it.
the next one, a solo violin, sounds very comfortable overall, giving people the feeling of strolling under the sun, relaxed and comfortable, and indeed a very good composer.
what would be the bottleneck that such a person would encounter?
takeyuki is not a composer, but he does not understand these things, so he can only listen to them again.
"not bad, these two pieces of music are quite good, speaking of which, how old is this brother of your friend?"
"already forty years old."
some famous composers more than a decade ago, and then encountered bottlenecks?
then it is really difficult to make yourself remember, unless it is the kind of person who is really a household name.
such a short-lived composer can easily overlook the past.
then, takeyuki played the next piece of music.
this time, it is no longer the performance of one instrument, but the ensemble of multiple instruments.
this piece of music is also more than half of the standard line, it should be played with a playing equipment such as an electronic keyboard, and the overall musical 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, it should be at this time that he should also sense his own bottleneck and then show it in the music.
this is very qualified music, and it can already meet the standards of takeyuki for final fantasy music.
Those music producers before were not incompetent, mainly because Takeyuki always felt that they did not fit the psychedelic style of Final Fantasy with a little new life.
some are either too slow in musical style, some are either too old, and then too modern, all of which are a little less interesting, but this one at least reaches his own standard passing line, about eight points, may not be able to achieve perfection, but if this person is willing to accept his own tuning and let him compose and play according to his own specified style, there should be a chance to increase to more than nine points, so that it can already be compared with the final fantasy royal musician nobuo uematsu in the past life.
when the third piece of music ended, the voice of makoto sakai came from the tape.
"thank you for listening, thank you very much, if there is any deficiency, please feel free to point out, i am willing to do my best to do my best."
the sound ended, and the tape came to an end.
matsuhashi looked at takeyuki with a hint of anticipation.
"president, what do you think?"
takeyuki pondered.
he was still wondering if this sakai really met his requirements.
eight points is not low anymore.
it should be really hard to find nine points at the beginning, comparable to final fantasy royal musician nobuo uematsu.
so, just 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, moreover, you can also adjust it in the future.
however, i don't know if this person is arrogant or not, if it is such a person, it is not very good.
"i think it's good, i can let him find time to come over, i want to see for myself." takeyuki said with a smile.
matsuhashi was relieved.
her friend had entrusted herself with the hope that she could help her brother find the right job, and now it seemed that there was finally hope, and she felt very happy.
