Chapter 121 Song of the Emperor (300 votes plus update)
Mo Yan: There are thousands of geese flying to the north, but there is a six-month reng to the south.
May belongs to "Hurry", so until June comes, the audience still has some residual effects, and they make jokes about "who is the same as me" at all times.
this day.
Lin Zhibai came to Shinhwa Entertainment Company and entered his sister's tenth department. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a scrolling screen showing the performance ranking of the music department.
First: Part 1
Second: Part Three
Third: Part Two
Fourth: Part Six
Lin Zhibai was in ninth place and saw his sister's "Ten Parts".
Regarding this, my sister explained with a smile: "This is a little trick created by the company to stimulate each department to strive for performance. It is updated once a month. We were tenth last month and ninth this month, mainly "Hurricane" The customized song adds weight to us."
Lin Zhibai nodded.
My sister took out a stack of documents in the office and said, "This is a custom order from the outside looking for your cooperation. There are seven of them in total. Take a look at which order you are interested in and accept it. I can just reject the rest." , everyone is now very optimistic about your soundtrack ability as Bai Di."
"Let me see."
Lin Zhibai was sitting on the sofa in Lin Xi's office.
Lin Xi made him a cup of tea and gave a brief introduction: "There are a total of four TV series that I want to score, as well as two movies and a game."
"game?"
Lin Zhibai was slightly startled.
Lin Xidao: "You don't think that only film and television dramas need soundtracks, do you? Games also need them. But this time, your game company doesn't have much money to offer, so it is willing to pay five million. There are not those film and television crews with deep pockets. You can see for yourself Take a look."
"Um."
Lin Zhibai looked through all the documents and found that most of these Party A’s remunerations were between 4 million and 6 million...
Wrong.
When he saw the last list, Lin Zhibai's eyes suddenly lit up: "The movie "Questioning the Sky" directed by Zhang Peiheng, a historical war-themed work, needs an impression song for the protagonist. The bid is 8 million?"
“Sure enough.”
Lin Xi couldn't help but smile and said: "What you look at first is not Party A's requirements, but Party A's price. That's why I deliberately put the list of "Wentian" at the end, but this list has the highest bid and the most difficulty."
"Why?"
“Because this is Zhang Peiheng’s film, Zhang Peiheng ranks among the top ten directors in Qinzhou, well, it’s actually tenth, but it’s not too much to say that he is the top director in Qinzhou.”
Speaking of which.
Lin Xi paused, and then said with emotion: "Actually, Zhang Peiheng would ask you to make impression music. Our entire Shinhwa Music Department was very surprised. For such a top director in Qinzhou, movie soundtracks are usually customized by Qu Dad, even if the money is If we don’t have that much money, we will choose some songwriters whose status in the industry is close to that of music fathers. Compared with these people, you, Bai Di, are still very young.”
“Then why is he looking for me?”
Lin Zhibai guessed at the other party’s reasons.
Lin Xi laughed: "Two reasons. The first reason is that Zhang Peiheng was the producer of the TV series "The World" before. You will understand the second reason in a moment."
"oh."
Lin Zhibai remembered that he had written the theme song "Moonlight" for that drama.
Zhang Peiheng, as the producer of that drama, probably remembers himself from the song "Moonlight".
Lin Xidao: "In short, I don't need to explain the benefits of this. If you can take this order from Zhang Peiheng, not only will there be more parties looking for you to make customized songs, but the price will also be higher. We will even You can just follow the standard of eight million for a song!"
“That must be eaten.”
Lin Zhibai saw the requirements of the drama company. He wanted to earn money but also get benefits. Since the other party was a top director, of course he had to try to win as much as possible.
The drama party wanted impression music.
ˆThe so-called "impression songs" are usually original songs specially created for a certain character and personality.
And the character image that this impression song requires to be targeted at is...
Emperor Qin Shihuang! ?
It turns out that this movie called "Asking the Sky" tells the story of the Qin Dynasty's annexation of six countries. The male protagonist is Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages!
Depend on.
This kind of impression music is not easy to write!
But it seems like you don’t need to write it yourself?
Lin Zhibai was thinking.
Lin Xidao: "This is the second reason why Zhang Peiheng came to you. Songs about Qin Shihuang are really difficult to write. Many people have tried but no one has succeeded. In other words, none of the songs about Qin Shihuang have been successful. It is widely recognized by everyone, so not many famous composers are willing to accept this list of impression songs. Zhang Peiheng asked you to cooperate, probably with the idea of giving it a try. Just do your best. It must be very difficult, If you really have no inspiration, don’t force yourself to create, otherwise it will be easy to ruin your own brand, and then the good things will turn into bad things. You should understand what my sister means, right?"
"I know."
Qin Shihuang really can't mess around.
Because Blue Star has been ruled by the Qin Dynasty for too long, the popularity of Qin Shihuang is also very, very high, and his status in people's hearts is higher than that of Qin Shihuang in his previous life on Earth, especially in the land of Qinzhou!
In such a situation.
Of course, many people in the Qinzhou music scene have written songs about Qin Shihuang.
But we all say that it is difficult to agree with others. Every time a song like this comes out, it will cause some controversy. There has never been a song that everyone is satisfied with.
"Consider it carefully." Lin Xi reminded and emphasized again: "All musicians who have composed songs about Qin Shihuang have basically been scolded, but it is not necessarily because their songs are not good, it is just that everyone has an image of Qin Shihuang in their hearts. It’s just hard to reconcile everyone’s opinions.”
"clear."
right?
Crimson?
Lin Zhibai secretly said in his heart: "Crimson custom-made it for me!"
Ding dong.
The system appears.
Hong Kong instantly understood what Lin Zhibai meant: "Do you want to customize a song related to the emperor?"
"custom made!"
“Customizing.”
It took about ten seconds.
Subtitles appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes: [Congratulations to the host for winning the song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years"! 】
Oh haha.
It turned out to be "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years"?
Lin Zhibai subconsciously thought that this song was about Kangxi. After receiving all the relevant information about this song, he realized that there was a bit of controversy in it. Some say that this song was actually originally written about Zheng Chenggong, but about Zheng Chenggong The drama was canceled due to some force majeure reasons. At that time, "Kangxi Dynasty" was about to be broadcast, so someone changed the song and put it on Kangxi's head. After all, this song is really good.
It’s a little melon that I don’t know whether it’s true or not, and everyone is having fun looking at the picture.
As for whether it was appropriate to sing this song to the ancestral dragon Qin Shihuang, Lin Zhibai thought about it and found that there seemed to be no sense of violation.
Because this is a very typical and perfect emperor’s song!
If it were this one…
This list is ready!
So many songs about Qin Shihuang have been scolded, but that doesn’t mean that “Borrowing from the Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years” will also be scolded. After all, this song does not directly describe the specific image of the emperor. The text is mostly relatively general, and the lyrics are suitable at the same time. The feeling of many awesome emperors, and the recognition of this song in China is too high. Even if the cultural atmosphere of Blue Star is different, the difference should not be very big.
There is a song.
Who should I ask to sing?
Lin Zhibai thought of Zhang Xiyang.
Zhang Xiyang is at the critical moment of becoming the king of singers. Giving him the song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" at this time may help him become the king of singers. After all, he may be just one step away from becoming the king of singers. Lin Zhibai is not as good as Give him a hard push.
Lin Zhibai has no doubt:
Zhang Xiyang can sing this song well!
With this in mind, Lin Zhibai returned home that night and began to compose the accompaniment of "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years".
…
at the same time.
The main creative team of the movie "Asking the Sky".
Producer Sudden Aite and director Zhang Peiheng.
“Director Zhang, we should not find someone to write an impression of Qin Shihuang. This is too difficult. If the audience is not satisfied, it may affect our box office.”
"yes."
The producer is also excited.
"I checked all the songs about Qin Shihuang in the music industry, and none of them were bought by the public. At most, they commented that the writing was OK but not enough. Zulong's status in the hearts of Qin people is too high, so everyone The requirements are too harsh. We can just find someone to write a suitable promotional song. The decision to make an impression song is very risky."
Impression songs are about specific people.
The requirements for promotional songs are much looser.
As long as it fits the theme of the movie, you can use it.
However, as a top director, Zhang Peiheng has a very high status in the crew, so even the producers and producers have to seek his opinion.
“I’m thinking about it.”
Zhang Peiheng actually thinks what these two people said makes sense.
Although the most perfect plan in Zhang Peiheng's mind is that someone can write a perfect impression song suitable for the character of Qin Shihuang, if this impression song is not written well enough, some people will criticize it, and it will affect the release of the impression song. box office.
Then it’s better not to write!
However, Bai Di seems to be a good composer. The song "Moonlight" he wrote before explained Party A's theme very well.
also.
Zhang Peiheng watched a very popular TV series called "Hurry Up" last month, and also specifically checked who composed the soundtrack, and was shocked to find out...
The soundtrack for that drama was also composed by Bai Di!
Zhang Peiheng found that the more he listened to it, the more he liked the soundtrack composed by Bai Di!
That's why Zhang Peiheng was thinking about letting Bai Di try to write a song about Qin Shihuang...
Calm down now.
Zhang Peiheng felt as if his brain was a little hot.
This kind of imperial song is too difficult to write, not to mention that Qin Shihuang is still the only emperor throughout the ages and one of the greatest emperors in the hearts of Qinzhou people!
“Or don’t embarrass him.”
Zhang Peiheng decided to make a call with Shinhwa tomorrow to talk about this matter.

ps: I’ll add 300 votes today. After all, it’s not realistic to add them all in one go, but I can guarantee that I’ll add at least one update every day. If I’m in good condition, I can add two to three updates.
I added one update today, and I still owe you three more updates. I hope you can make me owe you more. I really can’t do anything at this level.
