Chapter 278 Jagged Heart(1/2)
The reason why the metaphor of life like a play is wrong is that although drama is derived from life, it always follows a certain established literary logic and is reflected in techniques, which is foreshadowing, prelude or set-up. For example, if the male protagonist makes a promise on a certain month and day of a certain year, it must realize it after a certain month and day of a certain year, and then the main line of the story will be laid out around this suspense until the male protagonist finally achieves this wish.
As for real life, Liu Jingting from that world once shouted the loud and progressive words "I want to go to Peking University" at the 100-day oath-taking meeting of the college entrance examination. More than three months later, he was admitted to an ordinary key university in the south.
Similarly, not long ago, Liu Jingting said to Lin Tiange, I will keep suppressing you and can't raise your head. As a result, someone has written a lyrics that swept various rankings and gave Gu Yongsheng a move very frankly.
If you don’t accept the move, it means you will be slapped in the face by default; if you accept the move, there are two doubts. First, Gu Yongsheng may not be able to write such words, or even write them out, but may not be able to achieve such results. At that time, you will be suppressed on the rankings and will still be slapped in the face; second, no matter whether you win or lose, the ocean will seize Gu Yongsheng’s moves and carry out a new round of publicity.
Binding publicity has endless uses and has always been the Internet promoters. Public relations experts enjoy it. Han Shuo and Xue Muliang have been famous all the way to this day. In addition to their own efforts and talents, they have also benefited a lot from this kind of mutually comparable publicity.
Of course, Gu Yongsheng after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was no longer the best-selling author who could easily influence public opinion by negative news, but a young master who embodies the atmosphere of everyone. This coincides with the change in Mr. Jin Yong's status in that world. At that time, it was the emergence of the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that finally established Mr. Jin Yong's position as a martial arts master.
"Did Ocean use all the publicity budget on this song? But. Do you really know how many times a song has been on the charts, which means that Lin Tiange has made a comeback?"
"What I'm strange now is that if Lin Tiange comes out and plays a few yangges and then challenge Gu Yongsheng, does it also mean a counterattack?"
"A friend with a little understanding can also see what Gu Yongsheng said means. Lin Tiange betrayed "Jinglu" with the novel "Tang Jian" and Gu Yongsheng's words were obviously directed at this matter. Now Lin Tiange made a song and shouted to make a counterattack. Isn't this a change of concept?"
"I still think it's more reliable to compare the final ratings of the two TV series!"
"What's even more ridiculous is how did Lin Tiange make sure that Gu Yongsheng couldn't write more awesome lyrics?"
Everyone's discussion was quickly cited to "Auntun can write equally wonderful lyrics". Because the theme song "Dang" of "Return of the Condor Heroes" was written by Ancient Miaosheng.
The debates on the Internet are very complicated, but they are often very simple. For example, two movies released at the same time can analyze and argue from the aspects of stories, soundtracks, feelings, actors, costumes, etc., and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each other. The result of this debate is basically no one can convince anyone. Everyone has their own opinions. If the husband says that the husband has his own reason, the situation will be very complicated.
As for the simple part, just watch the final box office of the two movies, it is simple and crude, making all rebuttals and arguments lose their power, such as:
"This movie is mainly to spare no effort to question the human nature hidden in the dark. It is not a popcorn movie that you can watch, you should pay attention to the feelings in it."
"This movie sold a billion!"
Another example:
"This movie is cut sharply and ruthlessly. The story flows through the three separations and three combinations of the hero and heroine, fully conveying people's helplessness when facing the established destiny, especially..."
"This movie sold a billion!"
All new directors have been widely noticed by the media and peers, not because he made a movie with depth and strength, but because he made a movie that sold a lot of money!
Ironically, many media are shouting "Box-office theory will harm our country's movies", while giving the front-page headlines to the highest-grossing movies.
The final direction of public opinion will inevitably turn to the stronger side.
Therefore, in the eyes of a large number of people, the most perfect ending of Lin Tiange's provocation this time is that Gu Yongsheng wrote a song every minute, then dominated various rankings, and beat Lin Tiange to run away with his head and surrender.
In fact, Gu Yongsheng remained silent as usual, and Xingyue even put on a daily routine of busy auditions, without any response or statement. When he encountered a reporter's related interview, he responded with a unified sentence "We have not started the production of the theme song yet."
Xingyue TV, which has always been absolutely active since the announcement of the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", has long cultivated a kingly temperament that cannot be rubbed into the sand. After taking the wrong steps in the Ocean Sword and making the theme song promotion move, Gong Chengpin asked Gong Chengen to find Liu Jingting, while also organizing the compilation of related theme songs.
Unfortunately, the artistic director obviously had a plan in his mind and did not take the provocation from the ocean to heart. After Gong Chengpin asked his grandfather for instructions, he suddenly realized that his grandfather's attitude was surprisingly consistent with Gu Yongsheng. Why are you anxious about? Where is this?
Gong Chengpin once speculated that his grandfather and Gu Yongsheng might have had private communication, or what was more terrifying was that Gu Yongsheng had reached the state of being as calm as his grandfather. Until the end of the 10th to 3rd in the draft, Gong Chengen called.
"We need to hire two singers from Nangang. The male voice needs to be strong and soft, and the female voice needs to be soft and hard."
“That’s all?”
"Yes."
Gong Chengpin quickly passed the singers who had collaborated on Nangang in his brain, and then said, "Luo Shu and Zhen Na?"
“It can’t be more appropriate.”
Gong Chengpin hesitated: "Didn't he say why he invited singers from Nangang?"
"No, but..."
"Forget it, ask him when he is free, I'll arrange it."
"OK."
Gong Chengen hung up the phone less than two minutes later and called again.
"Brother. He has sent the specific process to your email address. I just saw the text message."
"Um."
Gong Chengpin put down his phone and opened his email. Sure enough, he saw an email from Liu Jingting, who was signed "Liu Qi".
"The lyrics of the song are already available. Of course, it is definitely not a random idea. According to my original idea, I will release it with the promotional video after the shooting is over. However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. I think it will be released at the finals of the talent show in three days. As the opening music, the specific needs of Chengen should have been informed, so I will not repeat them again and wait for your news."
Gong Chengpin thought for a moment. Then he took his cell phone and started making a call.
Ten minutes later, Gong Chengpin replied to Liu Jingting: "Welcome at any time."
After replying to the email, Gong Chengpin remained silent for a while, remembering the pleasure of Luo Shu and Zhen Na's agent just now. Even the young boss of Xingyue TV was a little surprised. There were many big-name stars who had made appointments with them, but they had to have an invisible verbal confrontation with their agents. This time, he just mentioned inviting two people to sing the theme song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the other side immediately agreed without any hesitation.
Gong Chengpin has tried his best to enhance the influence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Gu Yongsheng, but the facts still tell him that he can be even higher.
Gong Chengpin chuckled with unknown meaning. He called Liu Jingting and replied to the email. The phone number was the phone number, which was the style of the Gong family’s eldest son.
Liu Jingting answered quickly this time, and had no time to greet him. He asked, "I just finished talking to Chengen and was about to call you."
"Well, is three days enough?"
“More than enough.”
"time."
"I will go directly to the recording studio to wait for them tomorrow morning. The other arrangements have been told to Chengen."
"Okay, I'll bring you there at nine."
...
Liu Jingting arrived at the recording studio at 8:20. Before he entered the studio, he heard all kinds of messy sounds coming from it. Some people were practicing their voices, some were trying musical instruments, silk, bamboo, tubes, strings, and tapping.
Liu Jingting carefully pushed the door and saw Gong Chengen standing by the door and watching the scene seriously.
"Have you all had breakfast?" Liu Jingting asked, slapped Gong Chengen in the face.
Gong Chengen turned around and saw Liu Jingting, nodded and said, "I have eaten it all, and I will notify you at six o'clock."
Liu Jingting nodded and looked at the busy people quietly with Gong Chengen.
"By the way, have you brought all the lyrics and scores?"
"Score?" Liu Jingting was puzzled.
"Not sure?" Gong Chengen was puzzled.
"When did I say there is a secret?"
"and you……"
"You don't remember how "Dang" came out?"
Gong Chengen recalled a little, immediately felt relieved and said, "Yes, you sang it yourself."
"You reminded me that anyone who knows the score here can tell me the tune and let him write it out."
Gong Chengen smiled bitterly and said, "Is it really reliable to write a book like this?" Then he pointed to a man wearing headphones and said, "That's Lao Gu."
"Go over."
Gong Liu and the others walked to Lao Gu and saw Lao Gu's face full of seriousness and seriousness, closing his eyes slightly, and being auditioned.
The two stood aside and waited, and the staff next to them nodded and greeted each other. Those who knew Gu Yongsheng would inevitably have to have a simple whisper with their companions.
About six or seven minutes later, Lao Gu took off his headphones with satisfaction and finally saw Gong Liu and the others.
"Mr. Gong, Mr. Gu," the old customer greeted politely, and then focused his eyes on Liu Jingting, "That lyrics..."
Liu Jingting said awkwardly: "There are words and tunes, but there is no meaning."
Old Gu was slightly stunned, then he realized it immediately, and said with a smile: "I understand, give me the lyrics, and then hum to me one by one."
...
At about nine o'clock, the engineering reporter brought Luo Shu and Zhen Na to the recording studio on time. At this time, with the help of Lao Gu, the lyrics brought by Liu Jingting had been combined and the last proofreading was being done.
Lao Gu pressed the piano with great affection, and Liu Jingting sang in unskilled and unstandard Cantonese. In contrast, Gong Chengen, who had listened several times, sang better.
As soon as Luo Shu and Zhen Na entered the shed, they were about to talk to Gong Chengpin when they heard the sound of the piano, they were suddenly stunned. The raised hands froze in the air, standing still, listening to the piano music carefully.
After Lao Gu finished playing the song, Luo Shu and Zhen Na applauded at the same time and praised: "What a wonderful song!"
When Lao Gu saw Luo Zhen and the others, he quickly stood up to greet him. The three of them exchanged a few simple greetings. Lao Gu signaled Liu Jingting with his hands and introduced: "The lyrics are from the hands of this young man. Guess who this person is?"
Luo Zhen and his two faces looked surprised, and Luo Shu asked: "Is it the most talented man from the mainland, Gu Yongsheng?"
Gu Yongsheng was completely embarrassed and said, "I am Gu Yongsheng, so I'm lucky to meet two of you."
"Looking for a long time."
Zhen Na asked: "Does Mr. Gu write lyrics and music?"
Liu Jingting waved his hand and said, "The music score is entirely due to Mr. Gu. I am an outsider, so why not. Let's start now?"
"That's it, let's talk after finishing the business."
At half past nine, all preparations were ready. Luo Shu and Zhen Na skillfully put on their headphones, stood in front of the microphone, made several gestures to each other in a tacit way, and then signaled that they could start.
Liu Jingting sat on the bench beside him. He was so excited that no one could imagine it. Suddenly, a series of rapid, familiar, magnificent, vast, and distant preludes rang in his ears, and Liu Jingting felt dazed, as if he was somewhere else.
