Chapter 2 Dare to ask where the way is
The manuscript paper contains powerful pens, and at a glance they have a foundation in writing.
Hello Comrade Yang Jie:
My name is Huang Zhong, and I am a music lover. I saw news from the newspaper that Journey to the West crew collected songs. I took the liberty to write a letter to you and recorded a demo tape.
The a side of the tape is the ending song I created for Journey to the West, and the b side is the theme song I created for Dream of Red Mansions. Please refer to the Red Mansion crew on behalf of the Red Mansions crew.
This tribute.
Oh, so that's it.
Director Yang quickly dropped the tapes. After the rustling sound, the erhu accompaniment was still there. It seemed that the conditions were indeed quite simple.
However, listening to the prelude of this time, Director Yang's eyes immediately lit up: It's majestic and powerful, with a little vicissitudes, which is interesting.
Then a loud and clean male voice sounded: "You carry the load, I lead the horse, welcome the sunrise, and send off the sunset..."
In just four short sentences and sixteen words, Director Yang's heart was firmly grasped.
She couldn't help but grab her fist and shouted in her heart: OK, that's what it feels!
"Floating the bumps and forming a road, after the hardships and dangers, set off again, set off again, la la la..."
Director Yang's fists became tighter and tighter, and his breathing became rapid. There seemed to be a scene in front of him that the four masters and apprentices went through eighty-one difficulties. Although they were all the hardships, they were all stepped under their feet.
"After a lot of spring, autumn, winter and summer, one after another, one after another, one after another, I dare to ask where the road is, and the road is at your feet!"
Accompanied by the desolate and high-pitched tune, Director Yang felt a ball of heat burning in his chest, and he couldn't vomit quickly. She waved her fists hard and shouted:
"Okay, that's great, this is the song I want!"
As soon as the door opened, Li Chengru, the drama manager in the crew, pushed the door and asked, "Oh, Director Yang, why are you so excited?"
"Xiao Li, come and listen. We have found the song we want. What, write a letter immediately and invite the author of this song. No, I will write it myself, and I will invite you no matter what!"
Director Yang said with an excited look on his face, wishing he could share this song with everyone in the crew immediately.
Is it that good?
Li Chengru was a little suspicious.
Director Yang was excited and poured the tape back with his trembling hands, and listened again.
"No, no, my hair is on my body stands up!"
Li Chengru, who was standing beside him, rubbing his hands hard. He didn't know how to describe this song. After thinking for a long time, he finally put four words into it: "Heaven makes peace!"
Director Yang also showed a long-lost smile on his face, and shook the letter paper: "The creator is Huang Zhong. When he heard this name and looked at the handwriting, he was a mature and steady old artist. He had no hills in his heart. How could he create such a thing?
Good lyrics and songs?”
"I dare to ask where the road is, the road is at my feet. It's great. I couldn't help but think of the old man's poem, and I dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky, with that kind of heroic spirit!"
Li Chengru smashed his fist and echoed: "Gao, really high! Director Yang, there are experts in the folk!"
"By the way, Xiao Li, go and invite Director Wang from the Red Mansion to come over." Director Yang couldn't hold back the smile on his face when he said this.
...
In Shizuigouzi Village, Lao Zhao was so beautiful that he sang beautiful that he lies on the kang and slept soundly.
Huang Zhong also led his daughter back to the west room, which was their home.
It is even simpler than the old Zhao family in the east house. It is just two small cabinets for clothes. When they get married, the father-in-law is not very happy and has no dowry, and he has no money to buy it.
The most common things in the house are various books, most of which are related to music. Some are brought when they went to the countryside, and some are collected later.
There are stacks of white paper scattered on the kang table, with simplified notation and simplified notation on it, and English lyrics are recorded below, but these tadpoles are not very popular in China at present.
Three months ago, Huang Zhong saw a news message from the Journey to the West crew collecting music from the newspaper.
He has figured it out now. Perhaps in this world, there is no Xu, who alone contracted Journey to the West music creation?
For me, this may be an opportunity to change my current destiny, so I must seize it firmly.
The conditions were a bit unsuccessful, so in the end, through Lao Zhao's relationship, he went to the troupe where he worked, borrowed a tape recorder, and recorded a tape.
Because I was short of money, in order to save money, I recorded both songs in one book.
During the recording, Lao Zhao also got involved, and it turned out to be like this.
After tidying up the little girl and going to bed, Huang Zhong continued to sit at the table, with a 25-watt light bulb above his head. Under the dim light, tadpole-like notes became lively under his pen tip, as if they had new ones.
life.
...
In the capital, in the newly built Grand View Garden, director Wang Fulin completed a day's shooting task and felt like he was falling apart.
The filming of the Red Chamber has been preparing for several years, and it has reached today step by step. Director Wang and all the cast and crew have paid too much.
Especially most actors, when they join the group, they are mostly blank.
What Director Wang wants is white paper, and it is easy to make a fuss on white paper.
Facts proved that his idea was right. These actors were very close to the original work, or in other words, they were gradually becoming the characters.
So much so that Director Wang was a little worried that these children would become characters in the play and would never get out of the way for a lifetime. Once they entered the Red Mansion, they would be a real tragedy.
But there are also some unpleasant things, which is the arrangement. Although several famous artists were invited, the samples produced were never satisfied with Director Wang.
At this moment, Director Wang received a call from Li Chengru, and the producer director Ren Dahui was also there. The two of them had a plan and hurried back to Taiwan by car.
In the office, they met Director Yang who was overjoyed.
Hearing each other, although they are all famous directors in Taiwan and have a good relationship, after all, one shoots Journey to the West and the other shoots the Red Chamber, they are all four classics. They are in a competitive relationship intentionally or unintentionally, and they are all eager to surpass them.
other side.
But now we have principles in doing things, and competition is also healthy competition. We act openly and don’t do any wrong ways.
Otherwise, Director Yang would not have handed the tape to the other party in a hurry.
After Director Yang briefly explained the situation, he inserted the tape into it. I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the first thing I listened to was A.
The song "Dao" asked where the road was, and the eyes of the Red Mansion duo shone brightly. In Director Yang's opinion, he was almost catching up with Brother Monkey in their crew.
Now she enjoys this feeling, isn't she envious? Isn't she sour?
The little Lizi next to him served the big guys, and his little eyes were smiling in two cracks: Look at our Director Yang, why do I feel like a child who got a new toy?
Finally, Director Yang had enough fun and turned the tape to the other side.
The sad erhu sounded, and Director Wang was shocked, and it was repeated that feeling of the soul being touched.
He clenched his fists excitedly, endured the excitement in his heart, and listened with his ears.
Then a fake sound of fake air inside came out, and Director Wang immediately broke his skills. It felt like he was still eating delicious food at the last moment, but in the next bite, he found that there was a fly suddenly appearing.
Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
He wanted to continue listening to the melody just now, but he didn't want to hear the sound that made people goose bump. His inner struggle was really tormenting.
After listening to it, Director Wang immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Nonsense, it's simply nonsense. Who sang it? I wish I could pull him out of the tape and slapped him twice in the face!"
"That's right, it's just nonsense!"
Ren's producer was also indignant and suddenly grabbed the envelope paper on the table, then exited the tape from the tape recorder: "Old Wang, let's settle the score with him!"
"Let's go, settle the score!" The Honglou duo seemed to be furious and pushed the door straight away.
This made Li Zi so happy that she almost slapped her: "Director Yang, haha, don't be angry with these two old comrades, that would be a big sin."
Then he was slapped in the back of the head: "Come on, you are still stupid and happy. They are acting, so they must be secretly happy now and are preparing to compete with us."
Little Lizi then realized: "Old traitor...you are so scheming, Director Yang, what should we do?"
Director Yang smiled slightly: "I have recorded all the address and names of people. I will issue you a letter of introduction and a transfer order. You can go there immediately and invite people!"
"Even if you tie it up, you have to tie it up!" Director Yang emphasized again.
The little old lady at this moment looked murderous. This was the strong and decisive Director Yang. Otherwise, she would not have been able to deal with dozens of people in a large crew of dozens or hundreds of people.
Little Lizi nodded and complained repeatedly: Why did I ask me to put this good job on the stall? Don’t say anything, my life is hard.
There is no way, he is the pioneer of the crew. The road he has been running in recent years is longer than the journey to obtain the scriptures in the West.
The next morning, Li Zi hurriedly set off, took a green train for one day to the provincial capital of Liao Province, then changed to Tieling, and changed to a few more times. After three days of hard work, he finally arrived in Lianhua Township.
There is really no car.
When I found someone to find out about Shizuigouzi Village, Li Zi stepped on her long legs and walked to her.
Along the way, Li Chengru became more and more panicked as he walked. The vast mountains in the distance were under his feet, the dirt road Mr. Zhou stepped on.
If two disasters arise, will you give your life to this?
It’s true that I saw two people, one big and one small, and they seemed to be a father and daughter, busy in front of a grave at the foot of the mountain.
Little Lizi wanted to ask for directions, but looking at the situation, it was not easy to go up to disturb her for the time being, so she was waiting not far away.
Huang Zhong cleaned up the dead grass around the grave. In the integrated memory, a kind and virtuous woman was buried here, and now she has become a part of Huang Zhong's memory.
Although Xiao Yaya didn't know these things well, she knew a little, so she stood blankly, with bright tears rolling in her big eyes.
Her little hands climbed the bushes around her, which were the lilacs planted in the past few years. This season, they were already covered with small purple buds.
When Huang Zhong finished his work, Xiao Yaya came up and raised her little hand: "Dad, dad, it's blooming!"
A bunch of flowers, all of which are not yet blooming, only a small lilac flower blooms on the top, exuding the unique quiet fragrance of lilac flowers.
The five petals stretched out toward the surroundings, like blooming smiling faces.
Huang Zhong took the flower cluster and inserted it into the grave, then took out the erhu from the back basket beside him, sat on the ground, gently pulled his arms.
Dad is going to sing!
Chapter completed!
