Chapter 34: The Ladder to Advancement
Sun Ziming came home, sat on the sofa and began to rack his brains, this is the birthday party of the wife of the deputy commissioner of police in Hong Kong, how can I find a way to get in touch with him. But after searching for dry intestines for several hours, I couldn't 'recall' an English song that could not only fit the scene, but also make it amazing.
The doorbell rang, Sun Ziming got up to open the door, and there was an unusually beautiful Li Jiaming outside.
"Mr. Sun, your clothes are washed, and my mother asked me to send them for you."
"Xie Lu Xie, would you like to come in and sit down?"
Sun Ziming took the clothes and invited the girl, who usually looked a little cold, to come in and sit down. Putting the clothes into the bedroom, Sun Ziming returned to the living room, and Li Jiaming was leaning over and looking down at the music sheet music on the coffee table.
"Mr. Sun, these songs are very good, are you still not satisfied?"
When the girl in front of her looked up, Sun Ziming could see a tender white fluctuation from the neckline, and quickly looked away. Listening to Wang Jing, this girl is well-known in the circle for being clean and self-conscious, and Sun Ziming is not a good person, but he still respects this kind of girl.
"Don't mention it, my friend asked me to write an English song for my wife, but I just couldn't write it when I thought about it."
Talking about this topic, Li Jiaming couldn't help but be curious, and when he heard that it was given to the wife of Deputy Director James, he provided a gossip. It turned out that the love affair of the deputy commissioner James was really a bit dramatic, and he and his wife Ellen met by chance in the London Underground. At first, James thought that the man next to her was her boyfriend, and returned to school in a gloomy mood for a while. A month later, James met Ellen again at a party and began to woo her when he heard Ellen call the man Elder Brother.
Subway? Encounter? Sun Ziming finally remembered "YouAre Beautiful", picked up the score book and wrote it down in two or three minutes.
"Xie Lu, thank you Jiaming, when will I invite you to dinner."
The ecstatic Sun Ziming immediately called Uncle Zeng and asked him to arrange the recording studio and musicians, and there were still three days left for James's party, so he had to record the record quickly.
Sun Ziming stayed in the recording studio for three days, this was his best chance to get promoted, even Hu Weiguo just came over to chat a few words, the two said goodbye, and they didn't even go to the airport to see him off. During the three days of isolation, Sun Tzu didn't know that because of him, the entertainment reporters had already made a lot of noise.
First of all, before the release of the movie, the 'sunning horse' of Xin Yi'an and He Shenghe completely made "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" popular. A large number of viewers entered the cinema out of curiosity, either frightened or disgusted. The audience's word-of-mouth and the hype of reporters have attracted more audiences to watch the movie, and so on several times have formed a cycle.
'The most terrifying Fengyue film in history'
……
——Oriental Daily
'A film that makes people coexist with passion and fear'
……
Sing Tao Daily
'The Outlier of Fengyue Films'
Plasma, internal organs, organs, and broken limbs are just the terrifying props of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", and what really makes people feel terrifying is the director's ruthlessness.
The innocent girl, the warm picture, and the romantic soundtrack have become the end of life in an instant, and people can't help but sigh at the fragility of life, which is the most frightening thing.
Lin Guoyun's perversion stems from childhood abuse, but what is the real fuse? It is the moral degradation of this society! If this is not a society that laughs at poverty and prostitutes, if it weren't for the dancer's sense of superiority over Lin Guoyun, maybe these tragedies would not have happened, and Lin Guoyun would be an introverted and withdrawn person at most.
……
——Ming Pao
I have to admire those film critics, a horror film allows them to analyze all kinds of social deficiencies. Just like the case in the previous two years, an ordinary social criminal case was most often involved in children's education. However, this also has a benefit, "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" has raised them to become a social ******, out of the vulgar Fengyue category, which is also the result that Sun Ziming wanted at the beginning.
……
In three days, everyone knew about this "Butcher on a Rainy Night" that frightened countless people, remembered the evil Wu Yijiang, the innocent Liu Jialing, and the screenwriter, director, photographer and props Sun Ziming who was absent from the press conference.
If that's all, Sun Ziming wouldn't have become popular overnight, and Hu Weiguo, a newcomer carefully launched by Warner, once again pushed Sun Ziming to the forefront.
As soon as "The Sound of the Waves Remains" was launched, the streets and alleys of Hong Kong were full of "the moon falls and the moon is always a thousand years of wind and frost", "Gillian rocks the boat, sings the ancient ballad" .......
What makes fans and music critics curious is that the composition and lyrics of the twelve songs on the entire record are all by one person - Sun Ziming, this Sun Ziming will not be that Sun Ziming, right?
When the call came to Warner, the music critics went crazy, this talented Sun Ziming was the Sun Tzu Ming who had just scared the people of Hong Kong!
How can one have two very different spiritual realms? On the one hand, it is cold and cruel and points directly to the missing side of society, and the soundtrack is creepy; On the one hand, he is like a poet who writes music with such an artistic conception.
What makes music critics and film critics even more crazy is that no one can find this Sun Ziming, even his partner, Wang Jingjing, who has the biggest mouth. finally found Sun Ziming's agent Zeng Xiang, and was told that someone was recording English song records in the recording studio.
……
All these disturbances have nothing to do with Sun Ziming, what makes him crazy in the recording studio is that the arrangement cannot be arranged according to his intentions.
A warm and affectionate song "TakemetoYourheart" made them into a sad and poignant "Kiss Goodbye", no wonder Zhang Xueyou can sing this song to the world of the red Chinese people, it seems that the difference between Eastern and Western cultures is indeed too great!
In the end, Director Zhang of Warners came forward and faxed "TakemetoYourHeart" to the U.S. headquarters and asked the music production talent there to compile it.
"Ming, are you interested in being a singer? I listen to your voice very well, these two songs make you perform perfectly".
Of course it's perfect, I sang according to the 'original', but Sun Ziming still remembered Uncle Zeng's instructions, don't sign a singer contract!
"I have to talk to my agent, and my biggest interest right now is film."
General Manager Liszt and Director Zhang heard him say this, and retreated to the next best. Liszt was British, and a friend of his was holding a party for his wife's 40th birthday, and he wanted Sun Ziming to be a guest singer.
"James? You're not talking about the Deputy Commissioner of Police, are you? ”
"Yes, yes, that's what I'm talking about. As you know, when doing business in Hong Kong, you always have to have some dealings with the government."
Sun Zi Mingle is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and he was thinking about how not to use Yang Wei's invitation. I'm just a director, at most I'm a musician, and I still don't have much to do with politics.
"Great! "YouareBeautiful" inspired me when my neighbor was chatting with me about Mr. James's gossip! ”
Art is interconnected, it transcends the boundaries of race and color. At the evening party, James and his colleagues looked at Sun Ziming strangely at first, but when the music started, the eyes of the white people present changed.
‘Mylifeisbrilliant。 My life is full of colours.

"It's when I was chatting with my neighbors and she told an anecdote about James and Helen, and I wrote this song. I would like to thank Mr. James and Miss Helen for your love for inspiring me, and thank you for the beautiful Helen and your husband."
The song fell for a long time before applause rang out, and Sun Ziming bowed slightly to James and his wife. The couple hugged each other and clapped softly, with tears faintly in their eyes.
"Child, thank you, you have brought us back to our youthful days."
"Madame, you are as beautiful as ever."
Sun Ziming gently hugged Helen and whispered a compliment to the noblewoman.
"Ming, the song you sing is so good, be my boyfriend, right?"
A milky voice sounded, and Sun Ziming looked down and saw that it was a very cute little white girl.
"No, Sophie, you just accepted my chocolate!"
A white boy ran over from the side in a hurry to stop him, making everyone laugh.
Helen happily introduced her child to Sun Ziming, as well as the little boy just now.
"Ming, you sing so well, can you be my music teacher?"
This was Mary, a little girl of thirteen years old, who, though her face was a little freckled, was as beautiful as her mother.
"Ming, I heard that you made a movie that caused a sensation in Hong Kong, but unfortunately my mother didn't let me watch it, can you tell me about it?"
The little boy is James's son, just eight years old, and looks a bit like Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone.
"That movie is not for children, and if nothing else, I'm going to make a movie for children, and you and your classmates are welcome to watch it."
"Really?"
Arthur pounced on himself despite the fact that his sister was still in Sun Ziming's arms, and Sun Ziming had no choice but to hold an angel in one hand. Leaning down, Sun Ziming pulled another little white boy over, raised his left hand and said, "Really! I swear to God that my next movie will make all the children in Hong Kong laugh and can't sleep."
Sun Ziming got three kisses, and he won the friendship of three little children. Yang Wei in the distance couldn't help but smile and scold in his heart, his junior brother is really a genius!
"Alright, now I'll send another song to Helen for James, and you're going to applaud me, okay?"
"Yay!"
The romantic and warm music sounded, and Sun Ziming thought about himself and Juanzi, and sang "Takemetoyourheart" affectionately. The people next to him also looked over and listened to this affectionate and warm love song.
‘Hidingfromtherainandsnow,
Avoid rain and snow and take care of it,
TryingtoforgetbutIwon‘tletgo。
It's almost impossible to give up.

Listen to the heartbeat and know who touches me.

As soon as the song fell, before the applause rang out, Sophie hugged Sun Ziming's calf and proudly announced.
"Uncle Ming, I've decided, I'll marry you when I grow up!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the little boy who gave her chocolates just now also adored: "Ming, when I grow up, I will be Sophie's guardian knight and protect you forever."
"Ming, your charm is unstoppable, Helen and I don't have such a high position in the hearts of children."
When James saw that three or four children were circling around Sun Ziming, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and Sun Ziming spread his hands, saying that he was not to blame.
……
A birthday party allowed Sun Ziming to gain the friendship of the James family, and many of his colleagues also handed over their business cards and invited him to have a party with him in the future.
