Chapter 57: Kenshin (1st Update)
Director Chen Qidong has a great influence in the circle, and several large-scale costume TV series he filmed in the early days have received a lot of praise and awards.
At the same time, director Chen Qidong is also known as the most 'conscientious' director.
With the completion of the new drama "Famous Martyrs", it has once become a hot topic in the recent championship battle second only to "Yiqu Fame".
It's mid-August, and post-editing and special effects production are in full swing, and if you want to go live, you can officially start broadcasting in early September.
Chen Qidong is very satisfied with the overall effect of this historical costume drama, and he believes that the ratings will set off an unprecedented ratings boom, but the only thing that annoys him is the theme song of the TV series.
It's about to start, but the theme song hasn't been finalized for a long time.
If you change to another director, in order to save trouble, you usually choose some songs that have already been saved in zĂ i. But Chen Qidong is different, each of his works must have a matching song, and it must be a new song that has not been uploaded on the market.
Because Chen Qidong's works will attract the attention of the audience, once the theme song, ending song and even the interlude are finalized, it will be a good opportunity for the singers and songwriters to become famous.
Therefore, many people submitted their songs by email, and some lyricists and composers who have become famous in the circle have come to the door.
But the result was unexpected, and it seemed to be reasonable, these new songs were all mercilessly 'clicked' by Chen Qidong.
The reason is very simple, there is a trace of tenderness missing in the blood, but there is a lack of boiling heroism in the tenderness.
For Chen Qidong's almost sharp problem, the people in the entire crew are also very helpless. There are a few songs that are really good for them, and although they still have the desired effect, they don't have to be so serious.
But no one dares to say such a thing. Seeing that the TV series is getting closer and closer, they are all busy with their own affairs, who has the heart to care about this?
After searching in his memory for two days, Lin Chuan finally chose a song "Sword Heart" that Zhang Jie sang in his previous life.
Lin Chuan likes this song very much, especially the lyrics in it, there is a sentence that is: Hongchen, trapped my youth. Forgive me for the burning arrogance hidden in my heart, to fight, to face the heavens and the earth.
It took him a whole afternoon to write a shortcut for the song. Because he wasn't sure that director Chen Qidong would like it, he wrote "Farewell Poem" by the way.
On this day, Lin Chuan came to the program group with the two works he had prepared. He didn't see the assistant director Mu Qing, who was an assistant who was not very old, and came to greet him.
The two of them walked towards the building, and during this time, many people in a hurry passed by him, without even looking up at him.
"Are you so busy every day?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Hehe, this is not a new drama, everyone is busy with the post-production, if you follow it, it will start broadcasting in September." The young assistant explained with a smile.
Lin Chuan nodded, and did not continue to ask.
After a long time, the two came to a larger room, empty and there were few people, looking at their idleness one by one, they must be the most idle compared with the rest of the entire crew.
"Sister Lu, this is Mr. Lin Chuan, he was recommended by the assistant director." The assistant pointed to one of the older women.
This woman, known as Sister Lu, was sitting at a desk with her head bowed and writing something. Hearing this, he turned his head a little impatiently, glanced at Lin Chuan, and said, "Recommended by the assistant director?" Did you bring a work? â
Obviously, Sister Lu doesn't seem to know anything about Lin Chuan's name.
It's no wonder that the program team has been busy for almost ten months for this TV series, and they don't have time to watch variety shows and talent competitions. They know very little about Lin Chuan's competition.
In addition, now that the TV series is being post-produced, their time is very tight, even if they have heard of Lin Chuan's name, they will forget it in the back of their heads in a blink of an eye.
Lin Chuan didn't mind either, and handed over the prepared simple score.
Sister Lu just glanced at it roughly, and then said, "I only wrote a brief score, and didn't record a sample?" â
Lin Chuan nodded and said, "I can sing a cappella." â
"A cappella? Then you can sing a song. Sister Lu glanced at it with a smile.
Immediately, Lin Chuan brewed a feeling, cleared his throat, and sang slowly.
At this time, in the office next door, Chen Qidong was sitting behind his desk, looking at the pile of thick texts in front of him, his face was gloomy and scary.
These are all works submitted by many netizens, and the level is uneven, but none of them can make this famous director interested.
As a well-known director, he is very strict with his works and never allows any flaws in his works.
Especially a good theme song, it can add a lot of points to the TV series, and at this point, there is absolutely no room for sloppiness.
With a light sigh, Chen Qidong grabbed the pile of manuscripts and threw them into the trash can beside him.
Suddenly, a voice came, not very loud, but Chen Qidong's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly when he heard it.
"Listening to the sound of the piano, I can't forget it, Hongchen, trapped me young. Forgive me for the burning arrogance hidden in my heart, to fight, to face the heavens and the earth. Life is also bleak, haunted by dreams, like a flame burning, the past, watching the ups and downs. With the cold blade, the loneliness of the piano, write the past and the present, and the lonely sword...... Fingertips...... Laughing and talking......"
With a "Teng", Chen Qidong suddenly stood up from the chair, trembled all over, pushed open the door and ran out in a few big strides.
Before he could come to the room where the singing came from, he suddenly heard a woman inside say nonchalantly: "It's just such a person, I'm embarrassed to come, I really don't know how Mu Qing is an assistant director, anyone dares to recommend it." â
"Sister Lu, I think that person sang very well just now......" At this time, a man muttered.
"Then dare to applaud? Let's Sister Lu say no, that's no. The other man's words were full of sycophants.
Suddenly, the man who had just spoken stopped squeaking.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, Chen Qidong hurriedly glanced into the room, found that there was no one outside the crew, his face sank, and asked, "Yang Lu, who sang that song just now?" â
At this time, Yang Lu was sitting at the desk, just crumpling the simple score handed over by Lin Chuan, and was about to drop it. She and Mu Qing have always been at odds, and since Lin Chuan is the person recommended by Mu Qing, he naturally won't give a good look.
But he didn't expect that at this time, Chen Qidong would come over. Seeing the gloomy face of the great director, Yang Lu's heart trembled, and she stood up with a little weakness and said, "Chen...... Director Chen, why are you here? â
"Let me ask you, who sang that song just now?" Chen Qidong was short-tempered, and seeing that Yang Lu did not answer positively, he asked again in a little anger.
"He, he...... He's gone......" Yang Lu pointed to the outside and stammered.
Originally, she wanted to deny it, not admitting that someone had sung here just now. But as soon as he saw Chen Qidong's penetrating eyes, he couldn't raise the slightest courage.
Looking at Director Chen's figure running out in a hurry, Yang Lu stomped her foot angrily, she regretted why she had just let that person named Lin Chuan sing here?
It's good now, it seems that more than ninety percent of this kid's song was hit by Director Chen.
Suddenly, Yang Lu's heart was full of chagrin.
At this moment, Lin Chuan, who was accompanied by the assistant, was walking outside the crew, and he was also very depressed. Looking at the appearance of Sister Lu just now, she obviously didn't take her song seriously, let alone the fact that she would send it to Chen Qidong's hand.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Chuan felt even more depressed. If this "Sword Heart" was rejected by Chen Qidong, he would feel better in his heart. However, the director didn't even hear it, and was sent away directly, not to mention how angry he was.
But so what? Although he had a little popularity when he participated in the draft competition, he was not a big name after all, and people didn't buy it, so there was still nothing he could do.
Just as he was about to walk out of the door, suddenly there was a footstep behind him.
At the same time, I heard someone shouting: "Wait, young man......
Lin Chuan stopped with some confusion and glanced back.
This is an old man, probably in his sixties, his hair is not completely white, but there are a lot of silver threads mixed with it, and his face is not angry and arrogant, and it looks a little anxious.
When he ran to Lin Chuan's approach, he was slightly panting, and before he could speak, he saw the assistant next to him who was going to send Lin Chuan away, and hurriedly said, "Director Chen." â
"Director Chen? Chen Qidong? When Lin Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Chen Qidong squeezed out a smile on his face, waved his hand, and said, "Young man, you sang that song just now?" â
Lin Chuan nodded and said, "Yes." â
"Great, our crew is soliciting the theme song, I only heard a small part of the song you just sang, isn't it too clear, can you sing it again?" Chen Qidong looked a little excited.
"Of course you can, but is it just singing here?" Lin Chuan smiled and nodded, and when he saw the crew members coming and going around him, he hesitated a little.
Chen Qidong couldn't take care of this now, he was eager to listen to the song Lin Chuan sang just now.
So, I saw him nod and said, "It's okay, just sing here." â
Lin Chuan's eyes flickered and he hesitated and nodded.
"The soul sealed in the stars wakes up the helplessness of the trance nightmare, unveils the vein of this fate, and can't escape, the loneliness of this life ......"
Lin Chuan's singing resounded in the hall, attracting the attention of many staff. When they heard this song, they couldn't help but be stunned, especially when they saw that Director Chen Qidong was also present, they couldn't help but be amazed, guessing who this singing man was, and he could let Chen Qidong chase here.
As the song was nearing the end, Chen Qidong's face was hot, he grabbed Lin Chuan's hands and said loudly: "That's it, what I want is this theme song, it's great, young man......"
