Chapter 420: Xiao Ziqiao
"It's rare to find a partner in life again, and life is hard to give up the blue ......white clouds after all" Ye Zheng's voice condition is not good, but he is indeed emotionally invested in singing.
Luo Dayou is a singer he likes very much, this song is also a song he likes very much, maybe in this era, such a form of composition and arrangement is a little outdated, but such a classic, these artists present can feel its charm. Smiling face, face, time, wandering, turning head, gentle, sad, the sun is setting, tired birds, blue sky and white clouds, thunderstorms, in front of the window, lonely, lonely, no complaints...... These words are stacked on top of each other, and they are called love songs.
This kind of song, like a pop song, gives people a bit of a folk feeling. It's all because of that pure heart-warming emotion. In the past of youth, a smile and a look are full of anger. The blue sky and white clouds many years ago, the night rain in front of the window, and a story without regrets and no ending are still engraved. After singing the song, the applause was thunderous, and Long Kunnian, who was sitting in the audience, said to his friends with a smile: "If you don't know his age, judging from this song alone, it is really hard to imagine that he is a young man who is just over twenty years old."
And the style of this song, in fact, seems to be the style of the song when we were young, he is a young man in the new century, and he can actually write such a feeling, which is rare!""The album he wrote to Xu Meitang, the form of the song is actually quite old, what "It Seems to Be an Old Man", "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" and the like, I bought all three of Xu Meitang's albums, and I listened to them when I was resting after work. The man smiled: "I thought that if music continued to develop like this, it would be difficult to hear the kind of songs we had when we were young, but I didn't expect them to fulfill my wish." ”
"As long as he is here, he can drum up any song you want to hear, this is definitely not my boasting!" Long Peiqi smiled, the man nodded thoughtfully: "It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, compared with his current achievements, the results we have made are like the primary school students' test papers before the bachelor's thesis." While talking here, Ye Zheng had already received the second trophy and returned to the audience. The crew of "Journey to the West" won the third Golden Horse Award trophy of this year's Golden Horse Awards, and the real big award has not yet begun.
The nominations for the Best Newcomer award began to be announced, and Xiao Qi received a nomination, and then ...... She was also the final winner. Xiao Qi, who was filming for the first time, performed the role of Bai Jingjing very remarkably, vividly, and her acting talent was fully revealed. This Best Newcomer Award was awarded to Xiao Qi, which is really worthy of its name. Xiao Qi went to the stage to accept the award, and Sun Xiangxiang also invited Xiao Qi to sing, but Xiao Qi declined: "As far as I know, there is Sister Cheng Cheng singing tonight, so let Sister Cheng Cheng present a song for everyone instead of me!"
Wan Chengcheng is on stage, the relationship between time and space music and China Television is not what it used to be, and it is not a hassle to get an extra place for the performance. The Golden Horse Awards, a large-scale award event, is also beneficial to Wan Chengcheng and Ah Mei, not only to appear in front of the TV, but more importantly, to get in touch with the top people in Chinese film and television, which will be beneficial to the future development of the film and television industry. "Once love freezes, everything is so calm, once the tears are gone, only determination remains......"
Wan Chengcheng stood on the stage and sang the title song of her new album of the same name "If the Cloud Knows", with a hint of pain and grievance, slowly drifting, so that many people's minds can't help but immerse themselves in it. Xiao Qi, who had just come back from receiving the award, was originally quite excited, but as soon as he heard this song, the whole person instantly quieted down.
The heart that loves you has nowhere to be delivered...... Is this what I am talking about, how is this like talking about me, she looked at Ye Zheng. A heart that loves you, nowhere to deliver, even though you are sitting next to me, I have to fly the wall to find you. Grievances, really grievances. But if you can hold me tight, there is no need to clarify these grievances. Every second of thought, every second of shouting. Every time my heart hurts for a second, I wake up every time I cry for a second. I want you to stay up all night, but I don't know when I'll be able to escape from the entangled prison.
If the cloud knew, how nice this would be. I was originally a proud queen, but when I met you, my heart was humbled to the dust. Although you pity your heart in the dust, you never pick it up and hold me in your arms. Am I begging? begging for your hugs, begging for your love, begging for ...... Everything I wanted was so much and so simple. If the clouds knew, the clouds would pity me and love me, wouldn't they? What about you? The clouds that drift gently like my wandering heart, not only will there be a warm sun that will melt me, but will also accumulate into a dark cloud and fall a downpour.
There were so many people around, and the cameras of the media were filming her, but Xiao Qi was immersed in Wan Chengcheng's singing, and tears overflowed in her eyes. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Ye Zheng suddenly noticed that Xiao Qi's expression was a little wrong, and said in surprise: "Isn't it?
"Cut, it's obviously Sister Cheng Cheng who sings well, what's the matter with you!" "Hey, what are you talking about, ......" Ye Zheng and Xiao Qi just laughed twice, and suddenly Wu Menglong didn't know where to get out, and there was a middle-aged man with a lot of temperament beside him. "Ye Dong, come and talk to you again, and introduce you to this, Mr. Xiao Ziqiao!" Wu Menglong smiled and introduced Ye Zheng to the person who was a famous film and television investor in the Chinese film and television industry, and also the investor of Wu Menglong's work "No Soldiers in the World", Mr. Xiao Ziqiao.
When Xiao Qi saw someone coming, he immediately suppressed all kinds of emotions in his heart, and said with a smile: "You talk, I'll go sit next to you." She sat next to Ye Zheng, and when she saw someone coming, she let them sit down and chat with Ye Zheng. "Xiao Qi, we are still the same clan, it's really good that our old Xiao family can come out with a big star like you. Xiao Ziqiao greeted Xiao Qi with a smile, and when they met for the first time, Ye Zheng felt that this was a man with bearing and self-cultivation. "Thank you, Mr. Siu, for the compliment. Xiao Qi said embarrassedly, and left.
Xiao Ziqiao glanced at Xiao Qi a few times, seemed to take a look, and then sat down with Wu Menglong, he was sitting next to Ye Zheng, and Wu Menglong sat on the side. Ye Zheng actually has a limited understanding of this Mr. Xiao Ziqiao, only knows that he is in business and has a large industry, and then he seems to be very interested in film and television, and has invested a lot in movies and TV series over the years, and has also set up a "Xiao Ziqiao Film and Television Support Fund" named after himself in Taiwan to support those small film and television projects.
Many people have received his funding, and his reputation in Taiwan and even in the mainland is very good. "When I was young, I liked filming very much, and I dreamed of being an actor, when I was still in middle school, I often went to the set to do chores, and then when they needed extras, I could often rub one. Most of the time it's just a few seconds of footage, but every time I'm excited. It's like being a big star!"
Xiao Ziqiao told Ye Zheng about his past with a smile: "Sometimes I hope that any director will notice me, and say that this kid is good, follow me to film in the future! Hmm, but no, from middle school to university, I worked on many sets of miscellaneous works, and I also worked as an assistant to the lighting engineer when I was the best, but no one said that I had acting talent." I was angry once, I was going to graduate from college at that time, you know? If I can't find a way to support my family as an actor, I'll have to do something else! So I decided to take a chance, and I found the director on the set where I was at the time, and asked him, "Can I film, do I have the material to be an actor?" ”
He had a funny expression: "At that time, the director patted me on the shoulder and told me, Ziqiao, if you do a good job as a gaffer assistant, you can almost be a gaffer in the future, and there is no problem in supporting your family." Be an actor, alas...... By the way, you're graduating from college, have you found a job?"
That's what he said. Xiao Ziqiao said helplessly: "Since then, I have cut off my mind to be an actor...... Later, I crawled around, did business, and made some money, but I still couldn't lose my dream of film and television. This kind of dream, which has been engraved in my bones since I was a child, can't be an actor, this thing is like a knot in my heart. Then I thought, I can't be an actor, I film, I invest in film and television, it's always okay.
Then I started to be a film and television investor, and then I started a cultural company...... Alas, you don't know, it's very sad that even if I became a film and television investor, these directors didn't give face. Take Menglong as an example, I said I'll play a small role in "No Soldiers in the World", just say a few words, anyway, I'm also an investor, it's a back door......" He pointed at Wu Menglong and smiled: "Guess what this guy said." He said, don't make a mess for me, okay, take out the money quickly, just leave, you need to "Originally, I wanted to come over after the awards party, but I just listened to your singing "Love Song 2016", and listened to the young lady singing "If the Cloud Knows", I thought, no, I have to come over now. Xiao Ziqiao laughed. just praised Ye Zheng fiercely, and they started to talk about film and television, Xiao Ziqiao really has no talent for making movies and acting or something, but in terms of film investment, Xiao Ziqiao's level is very high, he has mainly invested in about a dozen movies and TV series over the years, most of which have good results.
"Movies aside, I've been interested in TV dramas recently, TV dramas naturally have the charm of TV dramas, and there are many places that movies can't match. Although the final sales price of many TV series is not as good as a good movie, the production cost of TV series is correspondingly lower...... "Xiao Ziqiao said: "I have been planning to invest in a TV series recently, but I have not yet figured out what to invest. ”
"As far as TV dramas are concerned, modern urban dramas and costume dramas are good. Ye Zheng said: "Take our company as an example, we are also going to focus on these two aspects. "On the Taiwan side, the market for urban dramas is mainly larger. Xiao Ziqiao said: "You also know that because of some political policy reasons, the communication between Taiwan's TV dramas and movies and the mainland is not very smooth, and the market is not well opened at all, so the main consideration for filming TV dramas in Taiwan is the market in Taiwan." So I also thought about making an urban drama next, but I didn't have a good script...... Needless to say, you get the idea, right?"
"The script, it's simple. Ye Zheng smiled, and then realized that Xiao Ziqiao originally wanted to get a script from him, so he smiled and said: "It just so happens that I have the idea of an urban love TV series here, and I think it is quite in line with the environment and market situation in Taiwan." "This kind of thing, Ye Zheng can come at his fingertips, Taiwanese dramas, since Ye Zheng was a child, what Taiwanese dramas such as "Meteor Garden" and "Crystal Love" began to run rampant in the mainland, and later, Ye Zheng also paid attention to some Taiwanese dramas, but they were all more well-received. It's just that after getting older, I feel that the plot of a Taiwanese drama like "Mischievous Kiss" is really a bit of a white puppy. But he also understands that personal preferences don't mean anything. There are still many people who like those low-IQ bloody plots, especially the girls who are in love in the rainy season, and no one can stop them after the comes up! And like these youth idol dramas, there are actually some good works, but it doesn't necessarily mean that youth idol dramas are brain-dead...... said so, in fact, Ye Zheng was still thinking about which TV series to come up with.
If you say preference, Ye Zheng prefers more mature plots like "Next Stop, Happiness" and "I May Not Love You", but it is precisely because he prefers this kind that he is a little reluctant to take out the scripts of these TV series to others. This thing is really a bit sad, there are too many good works in his memory, and he often suddenly thinks of a work, and he thinks that it must be filmed, but film and television works take much longer than making songs, so it is still like that, he personally, his time and space film and television, it is impossible to shoot so many things.
"Is it so coincidental? Can you tell me about the plot?" Xiao Ziqiao was quite surprised, he didn't expect that as soon as he said that he wanted a script, Ye Zheng said that he had an idea. He originally thought that Ye Zheng would have to say that he would go back and think about it. "Okay......" Ye Zheng said, "That's what I think...... The story begins with the heroine, who is a simple and cheerful high school student, and at the opening ceremony of high school, he met the outstanding student who spoke on behalf of the freshmen, that is, the male protagonist of the story, a super genius who claims to have an IQ of 200. After two years of crushing, the heroine finally mustered up the courage to confess to the hero...... Then, as a matter of course, he was rejected by the male protagonist......"
After a short period of thought, Ye Zheng took out the script of "Mischievous Kiss", Ye Zheng doesn't like to shoot such a story, it doesn't mean that others don't like it. And in fact, if you think about it, if you compare "Mischievous Kiss" with "Next Stop, Happiness", in terms of the market, there is no doubt that "Mischievous Kiss" will have the upper hand. In this way, it can be considered a double of both. If Xiao Ziqiao was willing to invest in filming this "Mischievous Kiss", Ye Zheng would not have rotted this widely disseminated TV series in his head.
Listening to Ye Zheng's words, Xiao Ziqiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, in fact, with his age and personality, he was really not interested in this kind of bloody plot of boys and girls, but from the position of an investor in a TV series, he quickly discovered the investability of this TV series. Such a story, for teenagers, is undoubtedly extremely strong in terms of affinity and recognition.
Especially girls in junior high and high school will definitely love this kind of story. When she was young, what girl didn't have some crooked girlish feelings in her heart? Even when she was older, she couldn't forget all kinds of romantic fantasies at the beginning, and she couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it.
