Chapter Forty-Nine: Rivalry
Back at home, Zhang Yao lay on the sofa and read the outline of the movie script given by Zheng Xiaoyi, which is a rough introduction to the content and the theme he wants to express, and there is no detailed content, mainly because he is afraid of leaks.
If someone publishes the script online, the film company will be in trouble, and fans already know the content, and it will seem that there will be no fun, which will eventually directly affect the box office revenue.
Even if it is just an outline, it needs to be kept confidential, although there is no agreement, but it is already an industry standard, and after the leakage of secrets, you need to bear legal responsibility and compensate for losses.
The name of this movie is "Black and White Forest", Song Ge Film and Television is only responsible for investing and participating in post-production, director Liu Yunsheng and most of the actors are Hong Kongers, and they also tell the story of Hong Kong, which can be regarded as a pure Hong Kong film.
This name feels a little familiar, but in addition to the early Hong Kong films, Zhang Yao has watched Hollywood visual blockbusters that can make people feel hearty, and he can't remember whether he has heard this name.
The story is about the male protagonist who has been sent to the gang as an undercover agent since the beginning of the police academy, and the only boss who knows his true identity was accidentally killed, and he has been tormented by playing other roles undercover for many years, and the death of his boss makes him no longer hopeful, and he is so anxious that he is on the verge of collapse, and finally ends up with the criminals to be relieved, but his identity has not been whitewashed.
The style of the movie is a little gloomy, starting from "Infernal Affairs", countless people will think of this movie when they see undercover, Zhang Yao is the same at this time, and this movie is very similar to "Infernal Affairs".
When he opened the script, he had such a sense of immediacy, the only difference was that there was only one policeman who was sent undercover to the gang, and there was no undercover agent sent by the gang to the police station, if he joined this role, then it would completely become "Infernal Affairs".
The theme song of "Infernal Affairs" is the same name as the movie, the two main singers, there are two versions of Chinese and Cantonese, which are also very good songs, and there is also a memorable episode that runs through the entire series of movies, that is, "Forgotten Time" sung by Cai Qin.
The two songs are also very compatible in this story, but this story is much worse than "Infernal Affairs", after thinking about it, Zhang Yao still thinks that he should take this idea to the film company together, as for how to do it, that's their business.
Zhang Yao has never been exposed to the script at all, so it is better to write a script than to write a content introduction, and it is over if he writes the general content of "Infernal Affairs".
He didn't expect the director to shoot according to this script, but he had a little regret after watching "Infernal Affairs" and then watching this story, and he didn't want to be an editor part-time, almost all the movies he remembered were movies with plot loopholes and relying on special effects to win, the role of the screenwriter itself is not big, and it requires the support of the entire film industry system, and he can't write it in China.
Zheng Xiao also said that the sooner the better, Zhang Yao did not delay, it took one night to sort it out, and took it directly to school the next day, ready to take it to the studio after school.
After saying hello to his classmates, Zhang Yao sat back in his place, thinking that he would be asked if the song was written, but Ai Xiaoqi said: "You haven't seen the news, Sister Xiaoyi is tragic again." ”
"As a song that stayed up late to write songs, I got up this morning and rushed to class, how can there be such a thing."
Zhang Yao explained for a while before asking suspiciously: "Didn't Sister Xiaoyi go to record the show, what other tragedy can there be?" It's not cool to see your expression, it can't be that the plane had an accident, right? ”
"If you don't curse people, will you die?"
Ai Xiaoqi responded angrily, and then said: "It's about recording the show, I just watched the news, and there are reports that Sister Xiaoyi met Yuyao of Golden Disc Entertainment in the show, and a conflict broke out between the two. ”
"During this time, I took care of Tianyin Records, and Nima almost forgot about Golden Disc Entertainment."
Zhang Yao muttered unhappily, frowned and said: "We already have a grudge against Jindi Entertainment, which can be regarded as an enemy who is very red when they meet, I hope Sister Xiaoyi will not suffer." ”
"The media didn't say much, and the specific situation will not be known until the show is broadcast."
Ai Xiaoqi said: "But Sister Xiaoyi is out of breath now, and Yuyao is popular, she is the first sister of Golden Disc Entertainment, and there are many fans who support her, and the comments on the Internet are not good for her." ”
"How does Nima feel that the situation has suddenly turned around, isn't this a copy of me and Wang Weihan."
Zhang Yao's brows furrowed even deeper, the secret fight between him and Wang Weihan before was first of all his own reason, plus there were many fans, and now Zheng Xiao is also at a disadvantage, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, and it is morally unreasonable and cannot be supported by passers-by and netizens.
"Sister Xiaoyi will be back soon, let's go check it out after school."
Although Zhang Yao is also quite open-minded, he is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, and the new and old grudges with Jindee Entertainment must not only be settled, but also ensure that he has the upper hand.
When I came to the Dawn Studio after school, Zheng Xiaoyi had already returned, and I couldn't tell what had happened from my face, Ai Xiaoqi first asked, "Sister Xiaoyi, what happened to you and Yuyao." ”
"You know that, too?"
Zheng Xiaoyi subconsciously asked, and Zhang Yao said: "It's all reported on the news, how can you not know, Xiaoqi and I have been worried about you." ”
"It's just that it was squeezed out for a few words, and then it was fried, and it is estimated that the TV station will cut out these contents."
Zheng Xiaoyi said it lightly, as if he didn't care at all, Zhang Yao shook his head and said, "Sister Xiaoyi, you should talk about it in detail, it shouldn't be our style to swallow it in your stomach after suffering a loss." ”
"Actually, I can't really say that I am at a loss, but I will be a little depressed after being squeezed out, just like a quarrel, even if I win the quarrel, the mood will not be wonderful."
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled, and then said: "In the past, when I was in Golden Disc Entertainment, Yuyao was just a newcomer who had just signed a contract, and I was always pressed by me and had no chance, and then I was hidden by the snow to get the position. ”
"Sister Xiaoyi, is she choking you because of personal emotions or at the behest of Golden Disc Entertainment?"
Ai Xiaoqi continued to ask, Zheng Xiao also poured a cup of coffee, sat down and said: "Yes, this person is very jealous, and he didn't have a good relationship with me before, but now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to show something better than me." ”
After taking a sip of coffee, Ai Xiaoqi continued: "When she recorded the show, she didn't show up too much, but she quietly showed me a lot in private, saying that the best female singer at the Gramophone annual ceremony next year must be her, and I will never win this award in my life." ”
"By the way, she also said that Golden Disc Entertainment also received an invitation from Song Ge Film and Television, and she sang the theme song of that movie."
", where did she get her confidence, as if she decided the awards ceremony and the theme song of the movie."
Ai Xiaoqi couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and then stared at Zhang Yao and asked, "Did you write your song?" ”
Needless to say, what Ai Xiaoqi wanted was for Zhang Yao to overpower Golden Disc Entertainment, so Zhang Yao said: "It's already written, and I originally wanted to send it like this, but since this happened, let's change the way." ”
"During the period of being hidden, I was indeed full of resentment towards Golden Disc Entertainment, and now I don't care about my star career, all I want to do is run the studio well."
Zheng Xiao also said: "But I'm curious about what way you want to change, and I'm not satisfied with being selected?" ”
Zhang Yao opened the file bag, pulled out the score of "Forgotten Time", and said: "I wrote a total of two songs, this one can be used as an interlude, I originally wanted to give the producer to decide who to sing it on, this incident reminded me in the end, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it is not better to let Sister Xiaoyi sing it." ”
"One more thing, when is the annual gramophone ceremony held, and what are the rules for running?"
Ai Xiaoqi said: "This award ceremony is held in April every year, and the albums released before this are eligible to participate, and many big-name female singers have not released films this year, and Yu Yao's results are very good, and she is so confident." ”
"There are still more than four months, and there is enough time."
Zhang Yao nodded, and Zheng Xiaoyi, who was holding the music score, was a little at a loss, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Sister Xiaoyi, I can write songs for myself, and of course I can write songs for you."
Zhang Yao smiled and said: "You are still young now, and there are many singers in their twenties who have not yet made their debut, so it's a waste to retreat behind the scenes like this." ”
"So you want to create an album for Sister Xiaoyi, and then beat Yu Yao at the awards ceremony?"
Ai Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good idea, I support you." ”
"When you say that, I really don't have the intention of refusing."
Zheng Xiao is also not hypocritical, what she doesn't care about now is the honors that should have been given to her, not even the suppression of Golden Disc Entertainment, not to mention that she still likes to sing as always.
"There's no need to refuse, I'll write the song as soon as possible."
Zhang Yao said: "Starting from the interlude of this movie, I am confident that I will be selected, so what we have to do now is to recruit the Burning Band back, and then record the song and send it over." ”
Although the Burning Band does not stay in the company at all times, they have signed a contract with the studio, and they themselves run a piano shop, so there is no problem at all.
Hearing that Zhang Yao had a new work, they were very excited, and soon entered the recording state, watching Zheng Xiaoyi recording Ai Xiaoqi was also a little moved, and said: "Anyway, Hatsune hasn't released a new song for a long time, is it okay to write a song by the way?" ”
"There is no such thing as writing songs, by the way."
Zhang Yao rolled his eyes, and then said: "Don't worry, wait until I write the songs of Sister Xiaoyi's album, I have new ideas for Hatsune now, don't worry, it will definitely make you addicted to being a singer." ”
