Chapter 11 Singing

When he saw the first two song recipients, Jiang Lin couldn't help but show a satisfied look, and he could see that Xia Bing was very attentive in helping him sell songs.

And when he saw the theme song of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" soliciting and the prize was 100,000 yuan, Jiang Lin first perked up, and then his eyes lit up.

Nima, isn't this tailor-made for yourself? Jiang Lin was excited, he was really short of money now, and 100,000 yuan was obviously not a small amount, not only could it solve the urgent need for the art examination fee, but also successfully dug up the first pot of gold, this is not the most critical, the key is that there is just such a song in his hand that meets the requirements of the theme song of "Jingzhong Yue Fei".

Once upon a time, the opening and ending songs of film and television dramas were often the cradle of the birth of golden songs, "Thousands of Questions", "Young Ambition is Not Sorrowful", "You Come Back Soon", "See You Soon", "Mythology", "Song of a Good Man", "Go to the Quartet", "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" To be honest, Jiang Lin knows a lot of familiar TV series theme songs, but to say that the most suitable for the theme song of "Jingzhong Father-in-law" is definitely Tu Honggang's classic.

That's right, Jiang Lin thought of the title song of the same name on Tu Honggang's representative album, "Loyal to the Country", which was once the ending song of "The Sword of the Third Young Master".

Although it is used as the ending song of "The Sword of the Third Young Master", in fact, "Serving the Country with Loyalty" is a song based on Yue Fei, which reflects Yue Fei's life while praising Yue Fei's strong patriotic spirit of serving the country with loyalty. It is rumored that this song was originally the theme song created for the TV series "The Legend of Yue Fei", but unfortunately the TV series was not filmed later, and finally Tu Honggang sang it all over the country.

How popular this song is, in Jiang Lin's memory, since elementary school, and for more than ten years, he can always see performances related to it in various evening activities, and the shocking melody and magnificent momentum left a deep impression on him.

"OK, just the theme song of "Jingzhong Yue Fei". Jiang Lin replied happily.

cough, Xia Bing, who was waiting for Jiang Lin's reply, was suddenly choked, and hurriedly tapped the keyboard: "Are you sure you are not talking nonsense (puzzled expression) now."

In fact, the first two channels for receiving songs are what she wants to recommend to Jiang Lin, as for the theme song of "Jingzhong Yue Fei", it is completely because she saw that the bonus amount of 100,000 yuan is really not low, and she pulled it to make up the number.

"Of course, how do you pitch a song?" Jiang Lin smiled.

"Ugh." Xia Bing looked embarrassed, okay, because he was just pulling in to make up the numbers, he didn't expect Jiang Lin to really be able to create a theme song that met the requirements in a short period of time, so he didn't prepare a way to cast a song.

"You search for the news of the theme song of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" by yourself, and there is an email address and company address on it"

"You really want to vote for the theme song of "Jingzhong Yue Fei", this difficulty is relatively high, director Teng Jilin is very picky"

"A prize of 100,000 yuan is a lot, which is bound to attract many musicians to vote, and you need to face fierce competition"

"Why not choose the first two? I think the first two have a good chance of success"

Xia Bing sent out several messages in a row.

"Try it, I just have a more suitable one on hand" Jiang Lin replied, he didn't have much stock of songs on hand, since selling one song could solve the problem, he naturally wouldn't sell the other two songs stupidly, and if he wanted to sell it, he would have to wait until he had a certain fame before selling it, maybe the theme song of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" was an opportunity for him to become famous.

After chatting with Xia Bing for a few more words, as soon as he quit flying pigeons, Jiang Lin immediately searched for the keyword "100,000 theme songs of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" on the Internet, although the rise of the domestic Internet is not very long, but many media have been keenly aware of the impact of online news on traditional media, and have built a station on the Internet in advance, so with his search, a matching news immediately appeared on the computer screen.

After reading the news report, Jiang Lin also has a lot of understanding of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" and director Teng Jilin, Teng Jilin is one of the few big directors in the field of domestic TV dramas today, there are not many works, but each work can be called a masterpiece, and "Jingzhong Yue Fei" is a fifty-episode large-scale historical drama series created by the well-known film and television company Tangde Film and Television with 40 million yuan, and it is no wonder that he is willing to take out 100,000 yuan to collect the theme song.

No longer delayed, after recording the way of singing, Jiang Lin hurriedly went to the station and took the car back to Nanhe County, he remembered the lyrics and melody, but he naturally couldn't complete the composition alone because he didn't understand music theory, and the best candidate was none other than Wang Shufen, Jiang's mother, who was a music teacher.

"You said you wrote a song?" When she heard her son say that she had written a song and asked her to help compose the music, Wang Shufen's face was extremely exciting, and in her impression, her son had never shown such talent.

"It's not a song, it's a humming song, but I think I'm humming well, no worse than other songs I heard, and I happened to see the TV series "Jingzhong Yue Fei" soliciting the theme song today, so I'm ready to try it and apply with the song I hum." Jiang Lin said with a smile, on the way back, he had already thought of a rhetoric.

Wang Shufen couldn't cry or laugh, is it so easy for this child to really write songs? If it's easy to write songs, why is she just a music teacher by her professional background, but she can't directly hit her son's self-confidence, so she smiled and said: "That's it, then you sing it to me first." ”

"Okay!" Jiang Lin smiled brightly, and agreed without a word, he naturally understood Wang Shufen's thoughts at this time, his son, who had never written a song, suddenly said that he had written a song, and he was going to cast the theme song of the TV series, and parents would naturally feel that their son was whimsical.

"Whew." Jiang Lin exhaled, and then began to hum a tune, and then sang, although he did not have a voice like Tu Honggang, but the song "Loyal to the Country", he sang it 100 times in his previous life, and he also sang it 80 times, so he was naturally familiar with it, and the voice condition of this body at the moment was much better than his previous life, and therefore, although there was still a huge gap from the original song, he basically sang the magnificent momentum of the original work.

"Is this really what you wrote?" Wang Shufen looked at her son in disbelief, although her son's singing had many flaws, but she was born professionally, so she could naturally intuitively feel the extraordinary response of the song.

"Hey, if someone else happens to write the exact same song, that's me." Jiang Lin smiled.

This kid, Wang Shufen also smiled

Jiang Lin returned to Yi'an City by car early the next morning, and things went more smoothly than he imagined, and then Wang Shufen not only helped him compose the music, but also sponsored him to find a professional recording studio for 500 yuan to record a sample, which naturally made him happy, originally he was going to sing a cappella by himself, but fools know that the effect of professional recording will be better.

In this regard, Jiang's father Jiang Haishan has no objection at all, on the one hand, he likes his son's "Serving the Country with Loyalty" very much, and on the other hand, Jiang Lin actually took the second place in the grade in the monthly exam, regardless of whether it was an accident or not, anyway, he felt extremely satisfied and proud.

As soon as he arrived in Yi'an City, the first thing Jiang Lin did was to register the copyright with the score, thanks to the government's strong protection of copyright, every city has set up a copyright agency, not only songs, film and television scripts, as long as it is related to copyright, can be effectively protected after registration.

The certification of the copyright agency was very fast, and after confirming that there was no collision with the work in the copyright library, a few hours later, Jiang Lin received a certification notice, which determined the uniqueness of the copyright.

During the certification period, he also found a recording studio, spent 300 yuan, recorded a sample, and went to the post office non-stop, and sent the score and script to Tangde Film and Television as soon as possible

Normally, it is not easy to cast songs, but there are exceptions to everything, and the theme song collection of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" is undoubtedly an exception.

In a post-production room of Tangde Film and Television, looking at the playing "Jingzhong Yue Fei", director Teng Jilin and the company's senior executives all showed satisfied looks.

"The filming is so good, Lao Teng, I can already imagine the ratings frenzy caused by our TV series after it was broadcast." Su Changqing, chairman of Tangde Film and Television, said with a smile on his face that when he spent 40 million yuan to shoot "Jingzhong Yue Fei", there were many disagreements within the company, thinking that the risk was too high, and it was far better to shoot urban themes, after all, the cost of each episode of urban dramas was generally only two or three hundred thousand, and he finally decided to shoot it despite public opinion.

And now it seems that a qiē is obviously worth it, his eyes can't help but show a trace of self-satisfaction, the cost of costume dramas is high, but its profits are naturally not comparable to urban dramas, the first round of star broadcasts of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" sold an astonishing price of 26 million, as long as the first round of TV series is enthusiastic, the second and third rounds of broadcast prices are bound to rise, and then bring rich economic returns to the company.

Teng Jilin smiled slightly, "Jingzhong Yue Fei" can be described as another masterpiece of his, he is very satisfied with the quality of the series, but when he thought that the theme song of the TV series had not yet landed, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Of course there is no problem with the content of the TV series, but the problem with the theme song has not been solved!" ”

"Director Teng, in fact, there is no need to be so serious, two of the songs given by several well-known musicians we invited to sing are quite good, and they can be used as theme songs, it is a waste of time and money to be too serious." Fang Tao, the manager of the production department, shook his head and said.

"More real, of course, you have to be more real, only more true can you shoot the work well." Teng Jilin glared at Fang Tao: "Can those two songs be used?" It's just a passing level, and it's still far from the effect I want, but the most important thing to remember in creation is to be, the difference is a millimeter, a thousand miles, if a creator has the mentality of compromise, he will never be able to create a good work. ”

"Yes, yes, Director Teng, you're right." Although he said this, Fang Tao looked quite unimpressed.

"Of course Lao Teng is right, although it seems that the audience will not come to watch our drama because the theme song is good, but a good theme song is an important part of a TV series becoming a classic memory, don't tell me, you don't want our "Jingzhong Yue Fei" to become a classic that people will remember when they hear the theme song in the future."

Su Changqing laughed and said, seeing that the quality of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" is excellent, he has decided to strive to make it a masterpiece of Tangde Film and Television, what is it to spend more money for this, with a classic masterpiece, the influence of the company is obvious, otherwise how could he spend 100,000 yuan to solicit songs, you must know that the TV series invested by Tangde Film and Television in the past usually give a total budget of only 100,000 yuan for a theme song, and the cost of 100,000 yuan does not only refer to the song itself, but includes lyrics, production, All aspects of the song are included.

Teng Jilin smiled with satisfaction, his willingness to cooperate with Tangde Film and Television is because Su Changqing, as the chairman, is not as short-sighted as ordinary people, and his creative purpose can always be well realized.

"Yes, what Su Dong said is exactly what I hope to achieve."

"Ha, Lao Teng, let's go and see if we have collected any good songs!" Su Changqing laughed.

"Well, I hope our previous work hasn't been done in vain." Teng Jilin smiled.

The group soon arrived at the studio in charge of selecting the songs, and then began to listen to the works that had already undergone the preliminary screening.

"Next." "Next." "Next."

Songs of different styles sounded in the studio, Teng Jilin's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, it was really not very reliable to solicit songs from the outside world, the quality of the songs was far worse than the two alternative songs, did he really want to use those two songs in the end, his heart welled up with a strong unwillingness, "Jingzhong Yue Fei" will not only be the representative work of Tang De Film and Television, but also his most successful work, he really can't tolerate the obvious flaws of his work that cannot be ignored.

That's when another song started playing.

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, the sword is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, 20 years of vertical and horizontal, who can resist, hate, long knife, how many siblings are loyal to the soul buried in another country, what a pity to die to repay the homeland"

This time, Teng Jilin didn't call a pause, and he couldn't call it at all, and after a few words of the song, he was completely stunned, and after a long time, he suddenly clenched his fists, and excitedly shouted to Su Changqing and others beside him: "That's right, that's it, what I want is this feeling, a good song, it's really a good song." ”

"Haha, seeing that there is no old party, it turns out that the wait is worth it." Su Changqing laughed and patted Fang Tao heavily on the shoulder.
