Director Zhao Yao has preferred martial arts films in the past two years. The TV series "And Dilian" he filmed last year is a martial arts film, and this year's movie "Asking the Heart Sword" is also a martial arts film.

The protagonists of traditional martial arts films are basically teenagers, who practice martial arts and are famous in Kyushu. No matter how great the danger and difficulty he encounters, he can solve it easily, and even have adventures to turn the situation around.

But Zhao Yao's martial arts films are very different from traditional martial arts films. In the case of "And Dilian", on the one hand, it is a big heroine, and there are very few works in martial arts films in which women feel that they are the protagonists. On the other hand, the aura of the protagonist no longer exists, and one of the protagonists, Lin Chao, is directly destroyed.

The protagonist of "The Sword of Asking the Heart" is a forty-year-old uncle Ji Yuxing who has been hidden in the rivers and lakes for many years, and then returned to the rivers and lakes.

Chen Minhao was on the radiator with his feet, he read the script again, and was doing push-ups on the ground when Director Zhao knocked on the door and came in.

He was wearing a dark green military coat, and said unhurriedly:

"Xiao Chen, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's have a simple light meal first, which can be regarded as a pick-up for you, and then let's talk about the theme song after we finish eating." ”

Chen Minhao nodded and said yes, and followed Zhao Out.

"Sword of Questioning" was filmed in the Western Regions Film City. Xiyu Film City currently covers an area of more than 8,000 square meters. The supporting facilities and services for film and television shooting here are indeed not as good as those in Hengdian, but basic hotels and restaurants are still available.

When Chen Minhao arrived at the restaurant, he felt that he needed to redefine the five words "simple light meal".

The crew chartered the entire hotel hall, and more than 60 staff members burst into warm applause when they saw Director Zhao leading Chen Minhao in.

Chen Minhao: Simple???

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie who was out of place with the staff around him stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Minhao.

Zhao Yao introduced that this is our producer, Mr. Fan, who has a single name for the word "unification" that dominates the rivers and lakes.

Chen Minhao immediately reacted, why did Zhao Yao introduce his name and surname separately, how much hatred this parents had?

There was a lot of complaints in his heart, but Chen Minhao said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Fan, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." The welcome ceremony was too grand. ”

Fan Tong said with a smile: "Where is it, the conditions here are limited, so I can only catch the wind for you so simply." ”

Chen Minhao looked around, more than 60 staff members were waiting for the meal, he thought to himself: What kind of simple welcome is this? More than 60 people in the crew are welcome, and when a protagonist enters the group, the welcome ceremony is nothing more than that.

Chen Minhao showed a flattered expression, and at the same time raised his vigilance in his heart Fan Tong, after all, he was courteous and courteous, and he was either a traitor or a thief. Chen Minhao himself just came to prepare the theme song, so this welcome is a bit too much!

But Fan Tong's idea is actually very simple.

Although Zhao Yao talked to Fan Tong repeatedly, there is no need to worry about the theme song, he asked Chen Minhao to handle it.

But Zhao Yao has never been able to come up with the contract signed with Chen Minhao, so Fan Tong has always been skeptical that Zhao Yao can invite Chen Minhao to do the theme song.

This suspicion reached its peak after Chen Minhao won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer of the Year and Best Song of the Year. Fan Tong has plans to contact other singers.

However, Fan Tong's idea was immediately opposed by Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao firmly believes that Chen Minhao will come to make the theme song for him, and the quality should not be low. But if you find other singers now, Chen Minhao will be embarrassed by then.

In the face of Zhao Yao's intention to hang himself on a tree, Fan Tong was really dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.

Of course, Fan Tong knew that Chen Minhao had written a theme song for Zhao Yao's TV series "And Dilian" called "Sigh of Ease", which was of very high quality and had a good response.

But the situation at that time was completely different from the current situation, Chen Minhao played a role in "And Dilian", and more importantly, Chen Minhao was just a newcomer who had just come out of a talent show at that time, and now Chen Minhao has become a rising star in the music scene!

Fan Tong never expected that Zhao Yao would be able to invite Chen Minhao so easily.

Fan Tongmei thought with a smile: If Chen Minhao sings the theme song, it will make many female audiences who originally didn't plan to watch "Asking Heart Sword" enter the cinema, and how much publicity costs can be saved.

Is the money for propaganda money? No, that's his life!

Therefore, after Fan Tong knew that Chen Minhao had arrived, he began to prepare for the welcome ceremony. After all, if the "cash cow" left because of poor hospitality, Fan Tong felt that he had no place to cry.

As soon as Chen Minhao sat down and ate a few bites of a large plate of chicken, many staff members came over with wine glasses.

"Brother Hao, I have admired the name for a long time, I heard that you won the role of the male protagonist in "Detective", congratulations, there are only stars in the entertainment industry who sing and perform like you, come and give you a toast. ”

"Brother Hao, we used to meet in the crew of "And Dilian", do you remember me?"

"You remember me! I must toast you, I did whatever you want. ”

.......

The staff who wanted to toast came up one after another, and in the face of various reasons for toasting, Chen Minhao looked confused: You don't need to be so enthusiastic, right?

Director Zhao solved Chen Minhao's predicament in his own way, and he roared: "Chen Minhao has to discuss the theme song with me tonight." He can't drink enough, and if any of you dare to toast again, I'll break his leg. ”

Chen Minhao got rid of the "care" of the staff after returning to the hotel, although the songs are in Chen Minhao's head, but Chen Minhao needs to talk to Director Zhao seriously about the script, and after seeing the preliminary cut of the movie, he can determine which song is more appropriate to use as the theme song.

Chen Minhao smiled and asked, "Director Zhao, when are we going to watch the first cut version of the movie?"

Director Zhao pulled a chair and sat opposite Chen Minhao, and said, "Don't worry, you can read the script twice first." ”

"I've watched it three times. ”

"Seen it three times?" Director Zhao was shocked: "The script is more than 300,000 words, I only sent it to you yesterday, and you have read it three times?"

Chen Minhao smiled and said: "The script is very interesting, so I read it again after the staff sent it, and I couldn't sleep and read it again after thinking about the theme song in my mind yesterday, and then after arriving in Northern Xinjiang, I watched it again at the foot of this snow-capped mountain." ”

Director Zhao didn't believe it, he thought it was Chen Minhao who was anxious to see the edited version, so he asked: "Then you can briefly tell me what the script is about." ”
