Chapter 7 "A Laugh in the Sea"
The sea laughed, surging on both sides of the strait.
Ups and downs with the waves, only remember the present!
The sky is smiling, and the tide is in the world.
God knows who loses and who wins!
The rivers and mountains are smiling, and the smoke and rain are far away.
The waves sweep away the red world!
The breeze laughed, but it was lonely.
There is still a night photo left!
The people laughed, no longer lonely.
Pride is still smiling and smiling......"
……
A week later, Xu Guangwen sounded the song "A Laugh in the Sea" in the studio of Huaxia Film and Television City.
In the studio, in addition to Xiao Ran and his son and director Xu Guangwen, there was also the famous martial arts instructor Yuan Ba who was also on the scene.
After listening to this song "A Laugh in the Sea", Director Xu said to Xiao Yuanshan expressionlessly: "Put it again!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran felt very strange, what kind of attitude is this?
It was difficult for Xiao Ran, who was unfamiliar with Director Xu, to guess his attitude, and he had always been expressionless, which made Xiao Ran also at a loss.
After reading the first draft of the script given by his father a week ago, Xiao Ran had already decided to prepare to copy the classics of his previous life, in addition to this "A Laugh in the Sea", Xiao Ran even wrote other soundtracks from the movie in his previous life.
For example, the song "Laughing Hongchen" sung by the protagonist Dongfang Undefeated, and the song "Laughing Today" that sounded at the end when Hu Chong and his sister finally left Middle-earth by boat.
Even the entire script Xiao Ran spent a few days rewriting it, so as to be as classic as the movie in his previous life.
After it was finally completed, it was also the opportunity for Director Xu's Struggle Film Company to start rewarding the theme song to the outside world, so Xiao Ran came to Director Xu's studio under the leadership of his father Xiao Yuanshan.
Originally, Xiao Ran planned to wait for Director Xu to listen to "A Laugh in the Sea" before slowly handing over the rest of the soundtrack and the new script to Director Xu, but now Xu Guangwen asked to play it again, which suddenly made Xiao Ran a little confused.
But under the operation of my father, finally this song was played again, and everyone continued to listen to it!
Xiao Ran found that when he was the second time, Director Xu's expression changed significantly, and he began to show a little joy, as if he had found a suitable theme song.
And Director Xu looked at Xiao Ran from time to time, his expression was very polite, and there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes, which seemed to be very important to Xiao Ran, a young creator.
After finally finishing the play, Director Xu stood up, looked at the martial arts instructor and asked, "Eighth Master, what do you think!" ”
His tone was very respectful, because in addition to being one of the top martial arts instructors in the industry, Yuan Ba is also a director himself, and has directed many blockbuster movies, and this time it is also because of the inextricable relationships behind the film investment bosses of the two companies that the cooperation between the two has been promoted.
Yuan Ba is a very practical person, so he said modestly: "I'm a layman in music, why don't you ask Director Xu or ask someone who specializes in soundtracks?" ”
But Xu Guangwen waved his hand and said, "The eighth master is not right, what's wrong with the layman?" How many of the audiences who go to the cinema are engaged in the film industry or music majors? Most of the time the audience of our movies is the layman, and the theme song that the layman audience can enjoy has to be the best soundtrack......"
Hearing Director Xu's words, Yuan Ba said bluntly: "Personally, I like this song very much, in addition to the majestic atmosphere, it is also full of a wild and uninhibited attitude, and there is a feeling of transcendence!" ”
Hearing Yuan Ba's evaluation, Director Xu clapped his palms!
"Heroes see something the same way, and I personally feel the same way."
Seeing that the two big brothers in the industry were all satisfied, Xiao Yuanshan knew that there was a play.
At this time, I saw Director Xu come over and said to Xiao Ran: "Young and promising!" Since the death of my dear friend Huang Sen, I thought that I would never find such a pure ancient style music again, but I didn't expect you to be such a young man who has studied our traditional Chinese music so much, and I dare to guarantee that there are no three soundtracks in the industry that can compare with ......."
Hearing such a high evaluation, Xiao Ran knew that the next step would definitely be nine out of ten.
As Xiao Ran expected, after praising Xiao Ran, Xu Wenguang said to Xiao Yuanshan: "Master Xiao, I didn't expect your son's musical attainments to be so high, I have already decided to use this song "A Laugh in the Sea" to be the theme song of the next movie, you can find a time to bring your son to the company to sign a contract!" ”
When Xiao Yuanshan heard this, he was overjoyed!
Director Xu's attitude is so clear, it seems that Xiao Ran has won the 100,000 reward.
At this time, Xiao Ran stood up and said to Xu Guangwen: "Director Xu, in addition to this song "A Laugh in the Sea", I have also prepared two interludes for your next movie, I hope you can take the time to listen to it and see if you can use it?" Another is that I have read your first draft script, and I heard that you are not very satisfied with the script, so I revised it according to my own ideas......"
Originally, I heard that Xiao Ran wrote two interludes in addition to the theme song, which made Xu Guangwen a little surprised, and even looked at Xiao Ran a little differently.
After all, this time the public reward is only the theme song, and normal musicians will only choose the one they are most satisfied with as a submission, but Xiao Ran directly wrote three songs.
And it took less than a week, which also shows his musical talent from the side.
Moreover, Xiao Ran wrote three songs, but the reward of Struggle Film Company has already stated that it is a theme song with a reward of 100,000 yuan, which means that even if the other two songs are adopted, they may not necessarily have as high a reward as the theme song.
But Xiao Ran still doesn't care about remuneration, just wants to improve the movie, which also shows that he has a very high artistic pursuit of music and movies at a young age.
Originally, Director Xu admired Xiao Ran's approach very much, but this was only from the musical level, until Xiao Ran's last words came out, and after learning that Xiao Ran had revised his script, Director Xu's expression changed a little strangely.
quickly snatched the script handed over by Xiao Ran, and while browsing it quickly, he said in his mouth: "I didn't expect anyone to dare to revise my script......"
After saying this, Director Xu began to sit silently in his chair and watch the new script.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became extremely weird, Xiao Ran and his father looked at each other, both of them were at a loss, what did Director Xu's words mean?
Xiao Yuanshan's expression was obviously three points more nervous than Xiao Ran, he had been in the film industry for several years, and he had already heard about Xu Guangwen's name, he knew that this was the most capable director in China at present, and he was also a well-known dictatorial director.
On the set, Director Xu has the final say, as long as he is not satisfied, even the boss of the film company sometimes has to compromise for it.
And no one dared to raise objections to the script written by him before that, and in fact, every movie directed by Xu Guangwen, even if it suffered a less-than-ideal Waterloo at the box office, would still have a good reputation......
This is a recognized director in the film industry, who dares to directly revise his script without saying hello, Xiao Ran is definitely the first person in history!
