The crew is now experiencing two troubles, which are difficult to handle.

The first thing is that the other actor can't settle down.

Chen Kaige found several actors, and after the other party read the script, they all declined for various high-sounding reasons.

Chen Kaige said today: "In our play, the two male protagonists have emotional scenes, and those actors dare not take the filming, for fear of ruining their image." ”

Chen Wen peeked at Zhang Guorong and Tang Hede's expressions, and they both made a soft sigh in unison.

For the casting of the second male lead, Chen Wen does not plan to interfere. He knew that without his help, the crew would definitely invite Zhang Fengyi to play Zhang Guorong's senior brother in the play.

The second trouble is that the theme song can't be settled right now.

This is not an ordinary problem.

The investment direction of the film recommended a songwriter to Chen Kaige, that is, Li Zongsheng, who wrote the theme song for "Farewell My Concubine". Chen Wen has memories of his previous life, and the theme song of this movie "When Love Is a Thing of the Past" was written by Li Zongsheng.

However, Chen Kaige has an opinion on this matter, and he is against it.

Chen Kaige complained that the songs written by Li Zongsheng are all popular songs of love and love, what "drifting across the ocean to sleep with you", what "when a woman wakes up from a dream after being abandoned by a scumbag".

Chen Kaige said: "Our movie is very atmospheric, the style is magnificent, I don't want a person who writes about popular music like you love me to write the theme song." ”

Here, Brother Chen Kai looks down on Li Zongsheng's song style. Over there, Li Zongsheng didn't bother to write songs for Chen Kaige's movie.

At the end of 1992, Li Zongsheng would be busy.

I've been busy falling in love lately.

Yes, he is married and has a wife.

He's busy with an extramarital affair!

Li Zongsheng's current legal spouse is his first wife, Zhu Weiyin, and the two married in 1987.

However, in 1992, Li Zongsheng hooked up with female singer Lin Yilian.

Over there, Zhu Weiyin gave birth to a daughter to Li Zongsheng, and here Li Zongsheng was busy with Lin Yilian.

These two people don't work for the same record company, Lin Yilian is a Warner Record, Li Zongsheng signed with Rolling Stone Records, hehe, Chen Wen's colleague brother.

In order to make it more convenient to perform on stage together, and to have more time and opportunities to get together to study music, Li Zongsheng tried his best to let Lin Yilian jump ship to Rolling Stone Records and be a colleague with him.

Since the beginning of the month, Li Zongsheng has been busy using his own connections to lobby Warner Records, hoping that they can let Lin Yilian change jobs and not pursue the huge liquidated damages alleged in the contract.

Of course, Warner Records didn't agree, we finally cultivated a promising female singer, you Li Zongsheng not only made the girl your little wife, but also dug the corner of our company and got Lin Yilian to your company, how can this work, I want to take people away and lose money according to the contract!

Li Zongsheng was busy redeeming his little wife in front of him, but unexpectedly the backyard caught fire again.

Wanwan gossip media was quite reliable in the early 90s, and generally only those who had evidence or real-name references would report it, so Wanwan Entertainment Lace in the 80s and early 90s was more credible.

After the matter of Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian was disclosed by the media, it was quickly known by Zhu Weiyin.

Zhu Weiyin is high-spirited and bright, one does not cry, the other does not make trouble, and the third does not hang himself. Zhu Weiyin used to be the female anchor of Wanwan Police Radio, this time she went to her old unit and gave a speech through the airwaves, showing her attitude, her love for Li Zongsheng will never change, and she cooks soup every day and waits for her husband to come home from work to eat.

Thinking about it, it makes people feel very energetic, Wanwan Police Radio, broadcast a touching speech by Li Zongsheng's wife, which is full of entertainment.

At the end of November, Li Zongsheng became the name with the highest appearance rate in Wanwan Entertainment Media, and the news of the Golden Horse Award actor and actress couldn't spell this singer and songwriter.

After Chen Kaige gossiped about these things, he complained viciously: "Our movie is magnificent and magnificent, it is to promote some righteous things, he Li Zongsheng's life style is not correct, and he is like a child's play to marriage, how can I find such a person to write songs!

After listening to Brother Chen Kai's complaints, Chen Wen actually wanted to ask him: You hate Li Zongsheng so much, so why did you still ask him to write songs in your previous life?

However, Chen Wen really can't ask this question.

The events of the previous life, according to the time schedule, have not happened in this life, and of course Chen Kaige can't explain why he finally went to Li Zongsheng.

At this time, Zhang Guorong smiled and said: "Director Chen, you don't look down on Li Zongsheng's love/love songs, and you love the main theme style of your mainland, have you forgotten, the main theme writer is far away in front of you!"

Brother Chen Kai slapped his thigh: "Ouch, Chen Wen, Brother Chen! Haha! The author of "Into the New Era"!"

Chen Wen was uneasy, the most suitable song for this movie in his memory was "When Love Is a Thing of the Past" written by Li Zongsheng, as for the main theme song, in addition to "Into the New Era", where does he remember the second one!

Brother Chen Kai ignored the roast duck fat in his hands, and grabbed Chen Wen's hand: "Brother Chen, otherwise, you will write the theme song for "Farewell My Concubine"! Let me tell you, the radio and television leaders praised you at the conference, let us learn from you!"

Chen Wen thought to himself: Learn from your sister!

Zhang Guorong also advised: "Boss Chen,

Or are you affected?"

Chen Wen pondered for a moment, and recalled the memories of his previous life.

It seems that this song was released by Lee Jong-sheng through Rolling Stone Records in the middle of his previous life.

And this song is the theme song written by Li Zongsheng at the invitation of Chen Kaige for "Farewell My Concubine".

In the original version, Li Zongsheng pulled Lin Yilian and made a male and female duet, but Chen Kaige objected, so he asked Zhang Guorong to sing solo.

So there were two versions of the song for the first time, a male and female duet version and a male solo.

Chen Wen is a habitual thief, and he steals the song originally sung by Zhang Guorong to Zhang Guorong himself, Chen Wen has no pressure. The only trouble is that today is December 1st, which is too close to the time when Li Zongsheng released this song.

To be on the safe side, Chen Wen decided to give it a try.

Chen Wen asked: "Director Chen, you just said that it was your investor's idea to ask Li Zongsheng to write a song?"

Chen Kaige said: "Yes. ”

Chen Wen asked again: "So, have your investors contacted Li Zongsheng?"

Chen Kaige said: "I don't know. ”

Chen Wen said: "I suggest you ask, don't just in case I wrote a song for you, and he Li Zongsheng also wrote it, and we collided, and finally your investors used Li Zongsheng's, then wouldn't I die a lot of brain cells in vain." ”

Brother Chen Kai said: "Boss Zhang, please lend me your mobile phone to use, and I will call Rolling Stone Records." ”

Chen Wen instructed: "Show me your script, I'll find some inspiration." ”

Chen Kaige took out the script from his handbag and threw it to Chen Wen, he took Zhang Guorong's mobile phone and dialed the number of Rolling Stone Records' Wanwan headquarters.

Chen Wen read the script, purely to pretend, to avoid waiting for the pirate song performance to be too shocking.

Lighting a Chinese cigarette and holding Erlang's legs, Chen Wen leisurely counted how many commas and periods there were on each page in the script.

Over there, Brother Chen Kai answered the phone and chatted with the people at the Rolling Stone headquarters.

Suddenly, Brother Chen Kai handed the mobile phone to Chen Wen: "Brother Chen, you have a bigger face than me, Boss Rolling Stone wants to talk to you!"

Chen Wen spat out a puff of smoke and took the phone from Brother Chen Kai's hand.

The other party reported to his home, laughed a few times, and a Mandarin with a Wanwan accent came from the earpiece: "Chen Xiansen, I didn't expect you to eat with Leslie, Director Chen just told me, don't worry, we will definitely use yours for the song you wrote, and there will never be a collision between you and Lao Li." ”

Chen Wen was not at ease, and asked tentatively: "Li Zongsheng is the leader of your Rolling Stones, and I am just a supernumerary temporary worker, so I don't believe that you will hurt me more than Li Zongsheng." ”
