Chapter 257 "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years"
Several people walked into the palace complex, turned left and right along the corridor, passed several halls, and arrived at a room that should be used for resting between shooting.
The room was packed with people. Ye Zhiqiu and Song Mei walked into the room and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
A man of about fifty years old, with dark skin and a thin body stood up, and the deputy director Liu Song quickly introduced both parties.
"Director Liu, this is Song Mei, President Song of Huahai Entertainment. This is brother Ye Zhiqiuye we invited this time."
Liu Song said to Ye Zhiqiu and others, "This is the chief director of our "Dynasty of Han" crew, Director Zhang Jiayin."
Immediately afterwards, Liu Song introduced several main actors in the play.
Qin Zi, whom I met in "Longing for Life", was also included. She was wearing a robe embroidered with golden phoenixes and extremely complicated patterns. Her whole person was graceful and luxurious. She was greeting Ye Zhiqiu with a wink.
Although the chief director Zhang Jiayin is thin, his voice is loud and full of energy. He has a capable, calm and authoritative temperament. He should be a strict director.
Ye Zhiqiu noticed that Director Zhang was wearing a black Mao suit that was permed straight, with the buttons neatly tied to the top. This kind of person is often a person who has extremely high requirements for details.
However, Zhang Jiayin spoke very politely and expressed his gratitude and welcome to Ye Zhiqiu and Song Mei for coming.
All the actors looked at Ye Zhiqiu with curious eyes. They had received the news a long time ago. The crew hired a new composer to try to write the theme song, but they did not expect that it would be Ye Zhiqiu, who has been in the limelight recently.
There was another round of extremely polite greetings. Fortunately, Director Zhang didn't seem to be too keen on meaningless pleasantries, so he quickly got to the point.
"Mr. Ye, I wonder if it would be convenient to play a song sample for everyone to listen to now?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded. This was communicated in advance. He had already recorded the demo and brought it to him.
He handed the USB flash drive containing the audio files to the crew. During the interval before playing, the deputy director Liu Song said with a smile: "This historical song is difficult to write. The time is so tight. It must not be easy to create this song."
, Sorry for bothering Brother Ye."
"No, no trouble." Ye Zhiqiu replied subconsciously: "After Sister Qin Zi told me about the plot that night, I had a general idea."
Qin Zi, one of the actors, had a look on her face that said, "Sure enough, that's true."
At that time, she felt that Ye Zhiqiu's tone was a little wrong.
Liu Song was stunned, and looked at each other with Director Zhang, a look of worry flashing in his eyes.
The quality of the songs written so quickly won’t be substandard, right?
"The Dynasty of the Han Dynasty" invited Ye Zhiqiu to compose the theme song, so naturally she knew him in detail.
First of all, there is no doubt that Ye Zhiqiu’s lyrics and composition skills have been tested many times.
It is normal for young people to be inspired and talented, but writing songs for historical dramas is different. They require a unique understanding and experience of history to write.
Therefore, the crew originally did not consider inviting Ye Zhiqiu to create the film. After all, he was too young and was undoubtedly lacking in this aspect.
However, Ye Zhiqiu's two songs at the Chinese Poetry Conference - "Farewell" and "Water Melody Song" completely changed the impression of the chief director Zhang Jiayin.
These two poems shocked Zhang Jiayin so much that he changed his mind and decided to invite Ye Zhiqiu to give it a try.
In fact, before this, the crew of "Han Dynasty" had rejected the works of several well-known creators...
It’s not that the other party didn’t write well, but Zhang Jiayin, who strives for perfection in everything, always felt that there was something missing in those songs and could not satisfy him 100%.
Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu described the creation process of this song so lightly that he could not help but doubt it.
While everyone was chatting, Ye Zhiqiu and another assistant who came with Song Mei took out a few printed A4 papers from the bag - the lyrics of the song - at the signal of Song Mei's eyes.
The assistant handed the paper to the two directors and several leading actors in turn.
Zhang Jiayin quickly looked at the paper in his hand, and the song title in black italics at the top came into view clearly.
——"Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years".
The moment he saw the title of the song, Zhang Jiayin's head seemed to be hit by something, with a "boom", and he immediately understood the meaning of the title.
This is written for the protagonist in the play - Emperor Han!
Just a few words of the song title made Zhang Jiayin's eyes light up. There was a faint excitement on his face, and his eyes moved down expectantly, and he quickly looked at the lyrics.
At this moment, the staff was already opening the audio files in the USB flash drive.
As soon as the accompaniment of the song begins, there is a shocking sound of big cymbal crashing like the sound of gold and stone.
At the same time, the shouts of soldiers charging on ancient battlefields were clearly heard through the surround sound in the room.
The crash of the big cymbal sounded for the second time, and the shouts of charge rose to a higher pitch, as if the intersection of armies on the battlefield was getting closer and closer...
Shocking! Majestic! Atmospheric!
It was just the accompaniment of the first few seconds, and everyone in the "Han Dynasty" crew in the room felt as if they had been hit hard, and their eyes widened.
Zhang Jiayin and one of the actors who looked about the same age as him were particularly excited. The moment the music came out, they both sat upright and tightly held the paper recording the song in their hands.
There was a pause in the first few seconds of the prelude, which was like immersing one in a battlefield, and at this time Ye Zhiqiu's singing voice came clearly.
【Along the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers, the gentle curves;
The love of the Central Plains of free horse love, the love of the north and the south of the Yangtze River.
Facing the ice knife, snow and sword wind, Yu Qingqing's company;
Cherish the golden years that God has given me.】
The song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" is the theme song of a famous TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" in the previous life. It was sung by Han Lei, a singer known as the "Voice of the Emperor".
Liu Minkang analyzed the characteristics of his own voice for Ye Zhiqiu. It is between baritone and tenor, slightly leaning towards tenor. This is somewhat similar to Han Lei.
Just because you can reach the vocal range required for a song doesn't necessarily mean you can perform it perfectly.
Ye Zhiqiu's voice is clear and a little magnetic, relatively changeable and highly malleable, but it lacks a trace of vigorous and heavy flavor.
Therefore, in his opinion, his singing of this song is not perfect, but recording a demo is more than enough.
Of course, the crew of "The Dynasty of the Han Dynasty" didn't know all this. After all, Ye Zhiqiu is the professional in music, and this was the first time they heard this song. The moment Ye Zhiqiu opened his mouth, they naturally thought that this song should be
That's it.
【Being a man is a matter of courage, no need to be afraid of hardships and dangers, your pride remains unchanged, year after year.
There is bitterness and sweetness in being a human being, good and evil are separated on both sides, both are the tomorrow in dreams.】
As the song entered the chorus, Ye Zhiqiu's voice suddenly rose, and the high-pitched singing voice rang throughout the room.
【Look at the clattering iron hooves~! Traveling across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains~!
I am standing on the cusp of the storm ~ holding on to the sun and the moon and spinning ~!
May the world of fireworks be peaceful and happy~!
I really want to live another five hundred years~!!!]
When the song "I really want to live another five hundred years" was sung, everyone in the room felt as if an electric current was passing through their bodies.
Chapter completed!
