Chapter 8 Unexpected(1/2)

Going back in time, after Xiao Yuxuan left in the morning, Director Liu Peng directly approached Li Jun, the deputy director of the TV drama department. Li Jun was the deputy director of the TV drama department and also served as the producer of "A Thousand Thousand Tribulations of Love".

.

Although Li Jun's identity as a producer is no different from that of a nominal producer, and almost all the main work is undertaken by Liu Peng, things like changing the ending theme and interludes cannot be decided unilaterally without even saying hello, bypassing Li Jun.

, This is not only disrespectful to the leadership, but also detrimental to the smooth development of the overall work.

Liu Peng approached Li Jun to report on the progress of the ending theme of "A Thousand Thousand Thousand Tribulations of Love", which is what it should be; on the other hand, he coordinated the secondment of personnel from the music production department in Taiwan to produce "You Are the Wind, I Am."

The accompaniment and recording work of "Sha" also required Li Jun to step in and handle the process.

Because everyone in the station attaches great importance to "Love Is a Thousand Thousand Tribulations", Li Jun also believes in Liu Peng's level and ability, so he applied for a formal secondment of personnel to the music production department without any delay, and also directly called the music production department.

The detailed explanation of the situation on the phone means that it needs to be handled urgently.

At the end of the year, the tasks of the music production department are not light. Even so, they did not shirk when faced with the secondment application. They decisively arranged for two senior producers to come over. One is named Fang Fuyun. He is a tall and thin man who wears glasses and looks elegant.

; A slightly rich, greasy middle-aged man named Ma Kang also wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Due to various reasons such as time, manpower and cost, the chosen method was to create the accompaniment first, then add the vocal part, and finally form a complete song, instead of directly recording the instrument and the person playing at the same time.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move, otherwise how can he be called a senior producer!

Several common musical instruments can be played beautifully by the two of them. It doesn't matter what timbre combinations or chord applications. Xiao Yuxuan's midi version is used as a reference for the basics. Zhou Xianjun occasionally gives some pertinent suggestions. The three of them

Working together, by around 5pm, it only took most of the day to complete the accompaniment.

When the three of them came out of the recording studio in the back room, Xiao Yuxuan had just finished the song "Wish" that troubled him the most, and was engrossed in the third level of "Since I Had You".

Fang Fuyun and Ma Kang were a little curious when they saw someone using the piano outside. Ma Kang was about to ask when he was stopped by Zhou Xianjun's gesture.

"Shh!" Zhou Xianjun put his right index finger in front of his lips, signaling to the two of them "stop talking."

Zhou Xianjun naturally knows that he is very taboo about being disturbed when he is creating.

Zhou Xianjun walked lightly, walked behind Xiao Yuxuan who was attentive, took a look, and then quietly picked up the two pages of manuscript paper that Xiao Yuxuan had put aside far away, which were the simplified scores of "There is a Girl" and "Wish".

Looking down at the musical score, Zhou Xianjun walked back to Fang Fuyun and Ma Kang, pushed open the door of the inner recording studio again, and motioned to the two to "come in and talk."

"Who's the one outside?" As soon as he entered the inner room, the familiar Ma Kang couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Yuxuan, he wrote the song "You are the wind and I am the sand" just now. Teacher Fang and teacher Ma, how do you feel?" Zhou Xianjun replied.

"Very good, very good!" Ma Kang praised with a smile.

"Well, to be honest, it feels like that. The lyrics are thoughtful, but the whole song is not amazing!" Fang Fuyun, a tall and thin man, scratched his shiny head, pushed up his glasses and expressed his inner thoughts.

Zhou Xianjun smiled nonchalantly and handed the manuscript paper in his hand to the two of them:

"Haha, it is indeed as Teacher Fang said, it is not amazing. The midi version of "You are the wind and I am the sand" just now was made by Xiao Yuxuan for several hours, specially for Lao Liu

I wrote the ending song for the new drama "A Thousand Thousand Thousand Tribulations of Love". There are also two interludes here. You two might as well comment on them."

Fang Fuyun raised his glasses again and took the one above without saying anything.

Ma Kang took another one and muttered: "Ah! I can write "You are the wind and I am the sand" in a few hours, which is already very impressive..."

Zhou Xianjun pulled up a chair and sat down, folding his hands on his chest: "What is printed on the front is Lao Liu's request for the song, and on the back is the answer given by Xiao Yuxuan. Teacher Ma and Teacher Fang should also sit down and read. Xiao Yu is outside

Xuan seems to be still writing. If the two teachers are not busy, they will help give comments and improve it."

Ma Kang sat down, shaking his head and looking at the musical score. His right hand patted his thigh unconsciously and regularly. Fang Fuyun didn't make many body movements. He was thinking while watching. His lips opened and closed silently from time to time. The fingers of his right hand kept fluctuating silently, as if they were playing.

Play.

The recording studio inside just fell silent.

After a few minutes, Ma Kang was the first to speak out, still cheerful:

"Haha, this song is interesting, especially the first few lines, 'It's okay to have a little quarrel, but you're still awake when you're awake; it's okay to tell lies, and you're idle anyway', which suddenly reminded me of the line 'Yin'

I'm going to spank my child, I'm just idle anyway, haha... Lao Fang, have you finished reading it? Can you please change it after you finish reading it?"

Fang Fuyun glared at Ma Kang dissatisfied, said nothing, and exchanged the manuscript paper in his hand with Ma Kang.

Next, it was as quiet as the previous few minutes.

Zhou Xianjun just sat there smiling with his hands on his chest, occasionally turning his head to look at Xiao Yuxuan outside through the soundproof glass.

Huh? That guy seems to have put down another piece of manuscript paper? Did he write another song?

No, I have to go take a look!

Zhou Xianjun was scratching his head and couldn't bear it. After making up his mind, he quietly walked outside like a thief and "stole" a piece of manuscript paper back.

At this time, there were three people in the recording studio, each busy looking at the manuscript paper in their hands, and no one said a word.

After a while, while Zhou Xianjun was still savoring the sentence "There are no mountains, no mausoleums, no rivers, no thunder in winter, no rain and snow in summer, and heaven and earth are in harmony, I dare to be with you" when he heard Ma Kang ask himself a little sarcastically:

"Teacher Zhou, can I change it?"

"Ah? Well, here it is!" Zhou Xianjun handed Ma Kang the simplified score of "Since I Got You".

The manuscript paper of "Wish" that Ma Kang handed over was cut off by the other hand. It was Fang Fuyun!

Fang Fuyun fell in love with "Wish" after reading it once. He took the manuscript paper of "Wish" ahead of Zhou Xianjun. After getting his wish, he gave it to Zhou Xianjun in exchange for the manuscript paper of "There Was a Girl".

After Fang Fuyun, who remained silent throughout the whole process, received the manuscript paper for "Wish", he walked directly to the instrument, picked up a guitar and started playing with the musical notation, and the beating notes flowed intermittently.

The simplified musical notation is not the musical notation of the guitar. Fang Fuyun added his own understanding and played it slowly to find the feeling. Therefore, it was a bit jerky in the first section, but by the repeated second section it was already very smooth.

"I like this song "Wish" very much!" Fang Fuyun said after playing it completely for the second time, cherishing every word like gold.

Ma Kang also rarely said seriously: "It's rare to hear you praise someone! It's indeed very good! It has a folk style, the music is fresh and natural, the expression of emotions is very good, and the description of the words has a sense of picture... Hey! Teacher Zhou,

What is the background of Xiao Yuxuan outside? He has very good literary skills, he can be elegant and vulgar... he can even write a song and have a poem attached to it..."

Zhou Xianjun couldn't help but feel a little proud. Xiao Yuxuan was different from other students. This student called me "master" instead of the ordinary "teacher". A simple title can make a big difference.

"Oh, you are talking about him!" Zhou Xianjun pointed to Xiao Yuxuan who was "hardworking" outside and said: "He is one of my graduate students, his name is Xiao Yuxuan, he is very talented in songwriting...

...Speaking of that poem, it should not only correspond to the song "Since I Got You", but also "Dang", which is the opening song of this TV series."

After listening to the two people's words, Fang Fuyun walked up to Ma Kang, silently reached for the manuscript paper of "Since I Got You", read it for a while, and sang the opening line "When the mountain peaks have no edges and corners" before asking.

: "Is it this song "Dang"? I have the impression that this song was also recorded by Lao Ma and me, and the lyrics do echo the song "Since I Had You"!"

"I have an impression too!" Ma Kang nodded in agreement, and then asked Zhou Xianjun: "Teacher Zhou, do you mean that the song "Dang" was also written by your student Xiao Yuxuan?"

"Well! Lao Liu was very satisfied with the song "Dang", so he asked Xiao Yuxuan to try to write the ending song and interlude!"

"This is wrong!"

Zhou Xianjun and Fang Fuyun both looked at Ma Kang doubtfully.

"Lao Fang, I remember that the song "Dang" was sung by Hu Xiaodong, right? At that time, Hu Xiaodong said that he also arranged the lyrics and music of the song "Dang". This is not right!" Ma Kang looked at the two of them.

explained.

Zhou Xianjun lost his complacent expression after hearing this, and asked the two of them seriously: "Teacher Ma, are you sure? This is not a joke!"

Fang Fuyun and Ma Kang looked at each other. They were both insiders and knew clearly that matters involving copyright were not trivial. Copyright-related laws and regulations were very strict, and the penalties for violation were also severe.

This was beyond everyone's expectation.

Ma Kang regretted his quick words and asked hesitantly: "Teacher Zhou, I can't remember this clearly. Why don't you confirm it again? What if it is Xiao Yuxuan and Hu Xiaodong who have reached an agreement?"

Zhou Xianjun nodded silently and shook his head.

Confirmation is necessary, and you can check it directly on the national copyright website later. But what can be confirmed is that it is impossible for Xiao Yuxuan to reach an agreement with that Hu Xiaodong. All matters related to "Dang" were handled by Zhou Xianjun.

Zhou Xianjun pondered for a moment, then took out his cell phone and called Liu Peng.

"Hey, Lao Zhou! Is everything going well with you?" Director Liu Peng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, it went pretty well. The accompaniment has been recorded, and we just need the lead singer to come over and record. Have you decided on the lead singer?"

"It's confirmed. He's in my office now! I'm not going to tell you who the lead singer is, but don't worry, his singing skills are definitely top-notch. Haha... let's have a meal together in the evening and have a few drinks. I've already taken the seat.

Already booked..."

"You're not in a hurry to eat. If it's convenient for you now, just come to the recording studio?"

Maybe he felt something was wrong with Zhou Xianjun's tone, so Liu Peng asked uncertainly: "Old Zhou, what happened?"

"Let's talk about it when you get here!"

"Okay, just wait for a few minutes and I'll be there right away."

"Oh, by the way, we are in a small recording studio in the middle of the recording studio. Please keep your voice down when you come in so as not to disturb Yu Xuan outside! That's it, hang up now."

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Liu Peng was confused.

Putting aside his doubts for the time being, Liu Peng put on a smile and said to the guests in the office with a smile:

"Where did we just talk? Oh, by the way, considering that Miss Yu is also one of the main creators of our drama, although you are not the heroine, you have a lot of roles, so I would like to invite Miss Yu to sing at the end of the film

Song, and if possible, an interlude. I wonder if Miss Yu can accept the invitation?"

Yu Anzhen hesitated.

She has a clear plan for her return to the music scene. She has not released a new song in nearly three years. She hopes to announce her return with a brand new album rather than through the theme song of a movie or TV series.

Because the theme songs of this kind of film and television dramas generally have fatal flaws, or they are designed to fit the needs of the film and television drama plots, resulting in limited popularity. To put it bluntly, they are not very good; even if the songs are good, there may be an embarrassing situation where the singer is not popular.
To be continued...
