Chapter 11 Advance and Retreat

"Smack!"

"Enter!"

Peng Xiangming pushed the door in, "Master." ”

The observation is correct, and Lao Liu is really alone in the office now.

Lao Liu, named Liu Guanting, Peng Xiangming, the 13th grade head teacher of their director department, everyone calls him Lao Ban, Lao Liu behind his back, and he is called Teacher Liu in person.

He was a student of the 1996 class of the directing department of the film school, and directed two films, but unfortunately the box office was not very good, so he concentrated on teaching, occasionally writing a script, being a producer or something, and finally was rated as an associate professor last year. Yao Qingping, the director of "The Great Sage of Immortals", is a junior brother who is two years shorter than him and is in the class of 1998.

Of course, like Peng Xiangming, after a little search on the Internet and touching up this vine, it is easy to notice that the director of the first season of the large-scale historical drama "Three Kingdoms", which is currently in preparation, is called He Jiasheng, who is also a student of the 1996 directing department of the film academy - the two are classmates.

You see, isn't that the end of the line.

This line was checked and considered by Peng Xiangming a few days in the morning.

Of course, Lao Liu is a little more angry and behaves more squarely, although he is not unsmiling or anything, but he is indeed not a person who is too easy-going and easy to talk.

"Well, why are you here? Don't you have a class in the morning?"

"Yes, but I'm not looking for you for something!"

"Oh...... Come on!"

He put down the notebook in his hand - it was not thick, the kind bound on A4 paper, and it looked like a script.

"You...... What about reading the script?"

"It's okay, what's the matter with you, say it, hurry up to class after that!"

Peng Xiangming went over and said: "I heard them all arguing a few days ago, saying that "Three Kingdoms" is about to start filming, I heard that the director of that drama is Director He Jiasheng, who was in the same class as you when I was in school?"

Liu Guanting looked up and looked at him, "What's the matter, want to go to an internship?"

"No, no! I thought, you're an old classmate, you're definitely able to speak, so I want to ask if you can help me submit a manuscript. ”

"Submission, what to submit, the script has long been finished. ”

Peng Xiangming coughed and said, "No, it's not a script." That one...... As for me, I've loved watching the Three Kingdoms since I was a child, I don't know how many times I've watched it, and I heard them say that someone was going to shoot the Three Kingdoms a few days ago, and I suddenly had a little inspiration and wrote a few songs.

Liu Guanting was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "You...... Writing songs?"

Peng Xiangming grinned "hehe", and he was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Write nonsense! You also know that I have been learning piano since I was a child, and it is more or less a hobby, and I have never lost it." ”

Liu Guanting laughed again, thought about it, and said: "It's a good thing that this hobby is not lost, but you write songs ......" He wanted to laugh again, but he still held back, and suddenly remembered something, and twisted his fingers lightly, "I really remembered when you said that, the day before yesterday...... The day before yesterday, yes, the day before yesterday!"

"The day before yesterday, I had dinner with Lao He and we, he came back from watching the location, made an appointment, and I also went, as if I heard them mention it, saying that it was the music director of their show, I forgot what it was called, he wanted to use the opening words of the Three Kingdoms Linjiang Xian, compose the song to make the theme song, and they also discussed it. Why, it seems, you're also rushing to write a song for this TV series?"

Just hearing a music director, Peng Xiangming's heart sank suddenly.

Damn, even the music director is looking for it?

Hearing that the other party wanted to use "Linjiang Immortal" as the theme song, his face subconsciously showed a bitter color - is this the same as what the hero sees?

Seemingly...... One step late?

But I've already spent more than 10,000!

"This ...... "He hesitated.

Liu Guanting was interested, "It's okay, it's a good thing to like to create, all talents are slowly honed, and if you write more, you can always write better and better, what song did you write for "Three Kingdoms"?"

After a pause, he said: "You don't care about them, if you write well, I'll recommend it for you without bother, come, take it out, do you write the lyrics alone, or compose the music?"

Peng Xiangming's mind turned: Not to mention that it shouldn't be exactly the same as the song written, even if it is exactly the same, I have already registered with the Copyright Office, and they have just discussed a preliminary idea, and there is a high probability that the work has not yet come out!

And as long as the works are different...... He may not write better than I do!

There are still opportunities!

He took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "Then Master, can you tell me?"

"Listen?" Lao Liu stretched out his hand to take the USB flash drive, and was stunned for a moment, "Yo, you still recorded it?"

Talking with a smile, he took it, plugged it into the computer, shook the mouse to activate the screen, and soon opened the U disk, clicked on, and there were three compressed mp3 formats inside.

The original master tape is stored in Peng Xiangming's computer, the format is very large, and a special playback plug-in is needed to decode it, so it was taken out to meet people that it was the compression format that Du Pengfei made that day.

Of course, it is the original sound, without any post-tone repairs, adjustments, etc., and even the singer's ventilation voice can be clearly heard - Du Pengfei can also do the work of repairing the voice, but that is another job.

Peng Xiangming felt that there was no need for this, all he wanted was to show his lyrics and songs, and secondly, he was worried about money, and he didn't have to do it in a while and a half to do the post-production, so he didn't do the post-production.

"Yo, you still wrote three more songs?"

The mouse slid over, and before the point fell, he said: "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water? This is Linjiang Immortal, right? You can't be the song composed by the opening words of the Three Kingdoms "Linjiang Immortal", right?"

"Really. Peng Xiangming said.

Lao Liu glanced up at him and wanted to say something, but in the end he just picked up the headphones and clicked on play.

There was a slight pre-blank and no accompaniment, and soon a majestic baritro sounded.

As for the first sentence, Lao Liu subconsciously straightened his back.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes......"

He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Peng Xiangming again.

There seemed to be a lot of surprise in his eyes.

"Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ”

Lao Liu suddenly leaned back in the chair and pursed his lips, his expression was extremely serious.

"On the white-haired fisherman Jiangzhu, I am used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ...... A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

A cappella, without accompaniment, and in just a minute, a song is over.

Lao Liu took off his headphones, twisted his head and looked at Peng Xiangming again, twisting a few fingers of his right hand back and forth, "You ......"

Suddenly, a few pages of folded and newly opened scores were handed over.

"Why don't you listen to the second song again? It's a little shabby, I can't help it, I can't afford to hire an accompanist, the recording studio still finds a way to go to the Huaxia Conservatory of Music and find old high school classmates. ”

Lao Liu took the score, an obvious handwritten copy.

He flipped slightly, turned his head to look at the computer, then turned the second page to the top, and reached out and clicked on the second song, "The Sky of History".

The girl's voice is not amazing, and Lao Liu's more attention is put on the lyrics.

But soon, his attention was pulled back.

Although I can't talk about being amazing, it's still the same sentence, conveying feelings and showing the overall appearance and style of a song, it's still no problem - of course the song is a good song.

Soon finished listening to the second song.

Lao Liu didn't have the slightest extra action, and directly turned out the score of the next song, and then clicked on mp3. In the meantime, he didn't even look at Peng Xiangming again.

Soon, "This Worship" was also finished.

Putting down the headphones, he seemed to be reminiscing for a moment, and his fingers tapped the score on the table, "This, Taoyuan Yuyi, and that...... Guan Yu went to Maicheng, which is very suitable. ”

Peng Xiangming smirked.

Lao Liu didn't intend to get any response, so he quickly bent down again and read the score again seriously - of course, it was more likely that he was reading the lyrics, and I hadn't heard that he understood music.

After reading it, he raised his hand and scratched his eyebrows, and twisted his hand again.

Looking up at Peng Xiangming, he asked, "Are you sure you wrote it, don't fool you?"

Peng Xiangming nodded, "Of course, I have registered with the Copyright Office." ”

He nodded, fingers twisting and turning, and after a moment picked up his phone from the table and dialed.

The phone was quickly connected, and a rough voice came from there, "If you have a fart, let it go, you're busy!"

Lao Liu didn't think it was wrong, and said seriously: "I have a few things here, I have to let you listen to them." ”

"Well, then you can send it to me on WeChat, I'll listen to it at night! I'm busy, I'll hang up first if there's nothing else to do." ”

"No, I can't pass this thing to you, where are you, I'll bring it right away. Tell you, don't mess around, it's very important! You can only listen to it in front of me. ”

"Damn, what the hell are you mysterious. The other side hesitated a little and gave an address.

Sounds like a hotel conference room.

hung up the phone, exited the USB flash drive, and pulled it out, Lao Liu finally turned his head to look at Peng Xiangming again, holding the USB flash drive in his hand, and said, "Go back and wait for Xin'er, I will do my best." At least I promise he can hear it. ”

Peng Xiangming was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you think these songs ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was forced to stop by Lao Liu's eyes.

"What's the matter? I want you to compliment you?"

"No, no. I mean......"

"Go back to class, and talk nonsense, even if you skip class!"

............

Lao Liu went, about two or three hours passed, here Peng Xiangming just returned to the dormitory after lunch, he received a call from him, still the cold and calm voice, reported the address, and said directly: "Come over as soon as possible, go directly to the eleventh floor, I will wait for you at the elevator." ”

Peng Xiangming barely suppressed his excitement, but he still couldn't help but flush.

And that's it?

Does this mean that someone in the DPRK is a good official?

But don't they already have a music director?

He turned his head, Zhao Jianyuan, Chen Xuan, Guo Daliang, and the three of them were playing games online, as if they had just entered for a short time, shouting.

Putting away the phone and calming down for a moment, Peng Xiangming patted Zhao Jianyuan's shoulder, waited for him to take off his headphones, and said, "Jianyuan, there is an urgent matter, give me a trip?"

Zhao Jianyuan looked up and saw that his face was flushed, his eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a moment, and then he immediately threw the headphones on the table, turned around and went out, and pushed open the door diagonally across 309, "Lao Wang, I just connected the machine, take it for me, I have to go out." ”

Wang Jianxuan was bragging, and when he heard the words, he got up, "Success!"

In the 308 dormitory, Guo Daliang's scolding was already sounding.

............

When Peng Xiangming arrived at the eleventh floor where Dazhong Film and Television Media was located, it was half past one, and it took them less than forty minutes to come all the way.

Liu Guanting was really waiting at the top of the stairs.

patted Peng Xiangming on the shoulder, he turned around and led the way inside, and said: "The situation is somewhat complicated, as soon as they built the crew of this play, they invited Professor Huo Ming from the Conservatory of Music to be the music director, I took something and went to find Lao He, he didn't say a word after listening, so he brought me here, and then Professor Huo also rushed over, now this is the situation, Professor Huo said that he wanted to meet you." ”

Peng Xiangming quickly turned his brain as he listened, and immediately asked, "What is Director He's opinion?"

Liu Guanting glanced up at him and said, "He likes it very much, and the producer also likes it, but the contract has already been signed, do you understand? ”

Peng Xiangming understood in seconds.

While their minds were racing, the two of them walked through a busy corridor, and there were a lot of work card rooms on both sides, and everyone was busy.

Walking to the door of a room, Liu Guanting knocked on the door, then pushed the door in.

The people inside all stood up one after another.

Peng Xiangming walked in behind Liu Guanting.

This is a very large office, I am afraid that it is not at least 100 square meters.

Luxuriously decorated.

"He is the author of those songs, my student, from our directing department, a junior, named Peng Xiangming. ”

Liu Guanting first took the initiative to introduce Peng Xiangming, and then in turn introduced several people in the room to him.

There were five people in total.

Next to the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly chubby, not short, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a cap. This is the director of the first season of "Three Kingdoms", Lao Liu's classmate, He Jiasheng.

Sitting behind the oversized desk was a fat man who looked less than fifty, smiling kindly, a bit like Maitreya Buddha. He is the boss of Dazhong Film and Television Media, surnamed Jiang.

There is also the producer of "Three Kingdoms", surnamed Zhao, slightly thin, and unsmiling. and the executive producer of "Three Kingdoms", a woman, about forty years old, surnamed Liu.

The last one, who is also sitting in the innermost part of the sofa area, is about fifty years old, but looks quite energetic, is the music director of "Three Kingdoms", a professor at Huaxia Conservatory of Music, Huo Ming.

Peng Xiangming bowed slightly, took the initiative to step forward, Liu Guanting introduced one, and he took the initiative to shake hands, making a gesture of learning from the younger generation, very respectful.

After a brief acquaintance, before others could speak, Professor Huo Ming just turned around and sat down, and asked directly: "How do you plan to arrange these songs?"

Peng Xiangming was stunned for a moment, and then somehow, before entering the door, he still had a lot of calculations and calculations in his heart, and he was a little nervous and excited, but at this time, he suddenly calmed down.

After thinking about it, he replied seriously: "If you follow my idea, I think "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" is suitable for the theme song, the opening position of the TV series, the beginning of the first cut into the scene of the conquest, the battlefield radio, and then the waves swept, the sound of the river turbulent, the horn, the shouting of killing, all cut in, add a little guzheng as a prelude, and it is best to add chimes." ”

"The Sky of History", the timbre of the dong flute is better, it is best to find a female voice with a more atmospheric voice to sing, it is not suitable to use the zither here, because there is no need to highlight the feeling of killing here, but should switch back to the perspective of our modern people, to remember history, so I think that in this song, it should be better to add the timbre of the guqin. ”

When he said this, Professor Huo Ming slapped his thigh, "Okay! Great!"

As he spoke, he turned around, looked at Mr. Jiang, and then at the producer surnamed Zhao, and said: "That's it, just these few words, I know that this young man has really thought deeply, and he has a lot of ideas and aura! ”

At this time, Peng Xiangming saw that Mr. Jiang was obviously frowning, stretched out his hand, and made a virtual press motion, "Don't worry, don't worry, Mr. Huo, don't worry! These songs, we do think they are good, but I still say that this young man is not an outsider, songs, we want it, let's buy it, let's buy it." But you still have to check the soundtrack of the whole show!"

Professor Huo Ming waved his hand, "You underestimate this young man, I admit his songs, I don't think I can write so well! ”

"Besides, he needs a total of four songs in the first season, and he has already written three, and they are all so good that they can be used directly, this ...... If you ask me to be the music director again, I don't have much work to do! There is only a little soundtrack left, and most of it has to be transformed from the melodies of these songs, isn't that just copying! For us, it is copying! This job, this young man must be fine!"

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Peng Xiangming, looking very serious, "Young man, you have talent! When you look back at this drama, if you have any ideas, you can communicate with me, okay? Don't think that you squeezed out my work, it doesn't exist, let's communicate more!"

Peng Xiangming was a little stammered.

First, he didn't expect things to progress so quickly, and second, he didn't expect that this Professor Huo Ming would be so cheerful and crisp, even so that the contract he had already signed would be directly broken and give himself the opportunity.

It's hard to say anything else, "Three Kingdoms" has such a big investment, and it is expected to be filmed for several seasons, which is a big job!

Of course, if you think about it from another angle, a music professor who can receive the soundtrack of a top drama like "Three Kingdoms" is probably unlikely to be short of work at all, but people may not care too much about this.

But at this time, he turned his head again, and saw several people in the office, especially the producers, whose faces still seemed to be more or less unhappy - or uncertain.

In the middle of his thoughts, Peng Xiangming said: "Teacher Huo, that's the case, I really like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" very much, I heard that this scene is going to be filmed, and it is a big investment, all famous artists are out of the horse, I suddenly wanted to write a song, and then I wrote so many songs, I don't know if it is a work, it is an assignment, you can value it, you teachers can like it, I am very happy, really!" But I'm just a little bit of a musician, I'm not an expert, I can write these songs, but if you ask me to make a soundtrack for a TV series, I really can't do it!"

Taking advantage of Huo Ming's stunned moment, the others in the office were a little surprised, and he continued: "See if you can do this, these songs are just a stepping stone for me, if you agree, you can make the soundtrack, can you let me stay by my side, give you a hand or something, I will learn from you, you take me!"

Professor Huo was slightly stunned and hesitant when he heard this.

At this time, Director He Jiasheng suddenly said: "Call me to say, this thing is easy to do! The song is well written, it is indeed good, let's use these three songs, this young man, my fellow disciple, haha, talented and talented, this is not to say, but after all, he is still young, and he must have little experience, so he still has to be checked by Lao Huo!"

"That's it, Lao Huo continues to be the music director, responsible for making the music of the Diao Chan Dance, the other three, let's use these three, what about my little junior brother, just be the deputy music director!

Bang!

Mr. Jiang, who was always sitting behind the desk, slapped the table suddenly, "That's a good idea, just do it!" Teacher Huo, let's do it, you should bring an apprentice! A talented apprentice, how about it? In this way, the soundtrack of our drama will be completely stable!"
