Chapter 60: Yu Zhengsheng
"Nanfeng, what do you think of Anya's challenge just now?" After Nanfeng came on the stage, the host immediately began to ask, obviously Lao Bi hoped to provoke-for-tat confrontation between the contestants through such questions and increase the topicality of the show.
"To use the popular saying on the Internet, I feel a lot of pressure right now." Nanfeng smiled bitterly, "Actually, today is not only Anya's "Laughing Spring Breeze" is a very good song, including the works of the other three contestants are also very good works, I believe that any one of these songs has the strength to hit the top ten of the Chinese Music Billboard, today everyone has shown their best side to face the challenges of others, and today's competition will be the fiercest." β
At this moment, the other four people who were paying attention to Nanfeng in the audience all slandered: It's not that you forced it!
"Anya currently has a high score of 19 points from the expert group and is temporarily ranked first, do you think Anya will become your biggest opponent?" Seeing that Nanfeng deliberately changed the topic, the host once again focused on Anya's body.
"It's unfair to the other three to say this, after all, 80% of the last result depends on the online public judges, and the score given to me by the expert panel in the last game was not high, but now I am the last one to appear can already explain a lot of problems. However, Anya's "Laughing Spring Breeze" is indeed a rare good song, and her score of 19 is a matter of course for me. Nanfeng replied without leaking.
"Before the competition, you released a song "Da Lu Laughing Jianghu", which caused a huge response on the Internet, so many viewers are very much looking forward to the song you will definitely bring today, do you think you will win the last, or the other four contestants?"
In fact, everyone may have fallen into a misunderstanding, not that those who stay behind the most are necessarily the best. Similarly, the song I want to sing today is called "Sword Like a Dream", and I think everyone can already feel the strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes from this name. As for which song is better, "Sword Like a Dream" or "Da Lu Laughing Rivers and Lakes" is good, it depends on what everyone likes, not that I choose to sing "Sword Like a Dream" during the competition, "Sword Like a Dream" must be better than "Da Lu Laughing Rivers and Lakes". Nanfeng explained.
So what is it that will make you make the final decision which song to sing? I think "Sword Like a Dream" can win your favor, it must have advantages, what do you think is the advantage of this song? The moderator asked.
"I can explain this, we know that movies can be divided into dramas, tragicomedies and other forms according to their style and content, and the main difference between these two songs is similar to this classification. Those who have listened to "Da Lang Laughing Jianghu" may think that this song is very spoof and very happy, and in my opinion, this song is very suitable for comedy movies. β
"As for the song "Sword Like a Dream", it is more suitable for the main drama, and the opening and ending songs used to be used as a martial arts TV series are far better than "Da Lu Laughing Jianghu". One of the two songs is formal and the other is casual, you can't say which outfit looks good, what outfit you should wear to any occasion! β
"It seems to me that it is a very solemn thing to be able to exchange music with four other outstanding young music creators in China on the stage of the Original Musician Competition, so I chose the formal wear "Sword Like a Dream", and as for the casual wear "Da Lu Laughing Jianghu", I usually wear it to the fans who like me. That's why I made the last choice! Nanfeng explained.
"It's a good metaphor for formal wear versus casual wear, so where did you get the inspiration for this song?" The moderator continued.
Nanfeng knew that this was the host asking himself to elaborate on the official song, and he said what he had been ready for a long time.
"Cha Daxia's martial arts novels have influenced several generations of Chinese, and everyone may have had a heroic dream in their hearts, and many people are eager for the pride of smiling and proud, and they like the chivalry of pulling out a sword to help each other when the road is uneven."
Zha Daxia is the most famous martial arts novelist in the world, his novels have been adapted into movies and TV series many times, and the most classic works have even been remade no less than five times, influencing several generations of Chinese people. Cha Daxia's original name was Cha Yong, and the name of Daxia was completely a nickname given to him by the world because they liked his novels.
"When it comes to rivers and lakes, there may be many, many thoughts in everyone's mind, but from an idea to a creative material, there are still many steps of work, and the first thing is to find an entry point. The other four players all have very mature experience and excellent ability in this area, and the word love is a perfect place to start. β
Nanfeng took the others with him, of course, more to contrast his own differences.
"The word love is easy to write, but it is not easy to write. It is easy to write because the face represented by this word is too broad and the space that can be operated is large enough, while it is difficult to write because it is easy to fall into clichΓ©s! I've been avoiding the word love, and I want to try to write works that reflect the life of the rivers and lakes, and that's how the "Da Lu Laughing at the Rivers and Lakes" you hear comes about. β
"But I'm not satisfied, because in my opinion, "Da Lu Laughing Jianghu" lacks a chivalrous taste that martial arts should have, and the song "Sword Like a Dream" is a song I wrote to make up for this shortcoming, I hope you like it." Nanfeng laughed.
Nanfeng used a lot of nonsense to foreshadow this time, because this time he felt a lot of pressure from other people, especially Anya's "Laughing Spring Breeze" is no worse than "Sword Like a Dream" in his opinion, so Nanfeng must use words to highlight the difference of this song and get more impression points.
"Now I invite Nanfeng to bring you this song "Sword Like a Dream", which he called full of chivalrous flavor!" The host handed the stage to the south wind.

Yu Zhengsheng has been very distressed recently, half a year ago he got the film adaptation rights of Cha Daxia's novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu", after half a year of hard work, the theme plot of the movie has been filmed, but there is one scene that makes the whole movie delayed.
This shot is the life-and-death swan of Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng! The whole plot may not be so important in the whole novel, but in Zhengsheng's opinion, this picture is actually the most classic scene in the entire "Smiling Proud Jianghu" novel, and if this scene is missing, the whole movie is a failure.
In the past six months, Yu Zhengsheng has found many creators through his own relationships, hoping to find a song that fits this scene, and there are no less than 20 works submitted, but for Yu Zhengsheng, a perfectionist, none of them meet his requirements.
Now the whole crew is down because of the song, and it's been dragging on for a week. Yu Zhengsheng is now facing pressure from all sides, whether it is the investor or the producer of the film, they are urging Yu Zhengsheng to finish as soon as possible every day, not only that, but Yu Zhengsheng also has to face the pressure of the actors, after all, the actors' schedules have been arranged a long time ago, and if they delay their next arrangements because of his willingness, it will inevitably lead to internal conflicts in the crew.
The media and fans from all walks of life are also constantly putting pressure on him, and for a while, Yu Zhengsheng feels as if he has become a public enemy in the world. Martial arts has become the theme of this competition, to a certain extent, it is still uncertain about the theme song of the movie, and the media hype has a certain relationship with this matter, otherwise there is almost no possibility that such a cold keyword as martial arts will become the theme.
Yu Zhengsheng's pursuit of perfectionism is true, and it is not wrong that he is the top director in China, but before investment, his director's rights also have a bottom line.
Whether to compromise or not has become a choice that Yu Zhengsheng has to face, and not compromising means that all the jade will be burned, and compromise is undoubtedly a betrayal of his film philosophy.
"Since Xiao Wu recommended me to watch this show, let's take a look, a dead horse is a live horse doctor." At the suggestion of the assistant director, Yu Zhengsheng specially watched this issue of the original musician competition.
In fact, Yu Zhengsheng didn't pay too much attention to the assistant director's suggestion, after all, none of the best creators in China have created works that he is satisfied with, and what good works can a TV show have.
However, the first ordinary person on the stage used a song "Maple Leaf Forest" to make Yu Zhengsheng suddenly have a glimmer of hope.
"Although it doesn't match my requirements at all, the quality of this song is enough to show that the level of these people is still very high, maybe others can surprise me!" Yu Zhengsheng has some expectations for the remaining players.
But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, until the end of Anya's performance, Yu Zhengsheng basically lost hope: "Although they are all very good, they don't have the momentum of smiling and arrogant rivers and lakes that I want at all." β
"The taste of chivalry? Let's hope it's not bragging. Nanfeng's introduction made Yu Zhengsheng a little interested.
"My sword, where to go, love and hate are difficult to love; My knife cuts through the sky, and it doesn't move right or wrong; I am drunk, hazy, and grudges are illusory and empty; I wake up, a **, life and death are all empty! β
"This lyric is well written, compared to the previous love, this song is bold!" Yu Zhengsheng nodded, and then shook his head again, "But there is still a little bit of a gap from what I expected." β
"Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, hate to meet; Love is in a hurry, hate is in a hurry, everything is in a hurry; Laugh wildly, sigh, live a happy life, mourn a life, who lives and dies with me......"
Listening to Nanfeng's singing on TV, Yu Zhengsheng slowly fell into deep thought.
"This is the most satisfying of all the candidate songs I've heard, if it really doesn't work, go and contact this young man named Nanfeng!"
