Chapter 559: Changing the Theme Song

The more than thirty-minute "Shanghai Tang" was played quickly, and when the theme song "Xiaoxiong Road" sounded again, Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning again. Everything is fine so far in this TV series, except for this theme song.

"Xiaoxiong Road" may be qualified in other TV series that compete for hegemony, but the drama "Shanghai Tang" is actually not mainly about the competition for hegemony, but the love affair between Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng. Therefore, the use of a song like "Xiaoxiong Road" is clearly suspected of misleading the audience.

"Ah Wu, what do you think of this TV series?" Zhao Yazhi sighed unsatisfactorily, turned her head and asked Xu Guanwu with a smile.

"So far, it's pretty good." Xu Guanwu nodded, "It's just that the TV series has just started broadcasting, and the specific situation will be known until we look down." ”

"I think this play is already good, no matter the set, props, characters, lines...... can be regarded as TVB's hard work in the past two years, and it seems to be much better than last year's "Choice". Zhao Yazhi smiled.

"I don't know what TV series Lu Dao Jiayi and Li will launch to fight with our "Shanghai Tang"?" Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Li's has not improved since she changed her master. ”

"It's no wonder, like Mr. Huang Xizhao was also kicked out, producer Mak Dangxiong also resigned, and the staff in front of and behind the scenes of a ticket desk followed. Now Lidi is busy adjusting the personnel layout, and after all the work is done, it will be at least a few months. Zhao Yazhi waved her hand and said, "There are two months of turbulence, and the audience accumulated before will also run away." What's more, Li's originally didn't have much audience. Now there is no such trouble. ”

"The analysis does make sense. Actually, if Li's didn't have so much turmoil. You can also fight with Jiayi. But it's a pity that it's messed up, and now it's falling from second place to third place, which is really a pity. Xu Guanwu nodded.

"Didn't Jiayi apply to lift the screening restrictions recently and open an English-language radio channel, I don't know how the British government in Hong Kong will reply." Zhao Yazhi said, "If they don't have broadcast restrictions and add radio channels, will it have a big impact on our ratings?" ”

"I don't know. But the soldiers will come to block, who will come to Tutun. It's not so easy for Jiayi to turn over. Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Just lifting the broadcast restriction is enough to make the government embarrassed, and now he even has to apply for an English radio channel, and the British government in Hong Kong may not agree to his application in full." ”

"What if it's just a one-sided promise? Sir Shao has been in the film industry for decades, and it should not be a fuel-efficient lamp. Zhao Yazhi said worriedly.

"How can there be a fuel-efficient lamp these days, but Sir Shao's biggest shortcoming in business is that he likes to rest on his laurels. It's good to rest on his laurels when he is successful, but if he wants to expand his territory, he always lacks a sense of courage. Xu Guanwu smiled and said. Just like now, I know that the Shaw Brothers are hard to return, if you have great courage. It is necessary to carry out drastic reforms, eliminate redundant personnel, recruit talents, increase remuneration, and introduce a new management system. ”

"I guess he must know these things, but there will be a lot of difficulties in implementing them." Zhao Yazhi waved his hand and said, "Just like he also knows that the current Shaw Brothers employees are generally dissatisfied with Ms. Fang Yihua, but he doesn't have the ruthlessness to replace her." After all, Ms. Fang Yihua is his pillow person, and the only person he can trust now. ”

"That's why I said he wasn't bold enough." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "If it were me, I would ......"

"What about you?!" Zhao Yazhi squinted at Xu Guanwu and asked.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly smiled, "It's nothing, it's nothing......"

"Humph! You still talk about other people, but you are not the same as him. It's really a crow that falls on a pig, and no one should be afraid of anyone. Zhao Yazhi glared at Xu Guanwu and said.

"It's different, it's different, at least I didn't let Qingxia be in charge of managing the company's affairs." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Don't keep talking about this matter, okay?" Didn't you say before that you still had to accept Qingxia? ”

"Humph!" Zhao Yazhi heard Xu Guanwu say this, and snorted very unhappily, "I'm going to coax the baby to sleep, you can sleep on the sofa by yourself tonight." ”

"I don't want it, if you don't let me into the bedroom, then I'll go back to Mid-Levels to find Qingxia." Xu Guanwu said threateningly as he stood up.

"You come back to me." didn't take two steps, Zhao Yazhi showed a pair of ear-pulling dragon claw hands, and immediately grabbed Xu Guanwu's ears, and then carried it into the bedroom, "Don't you want to run around tonight, I will be merciful to let you sleep in the bed, but don't snore, don't sleepwalk, don't make noise to the baby, don't move, don't roll, don't have bad thoughts......"

"Okay, okay, this is not allowed and that is not allowed, you just find someone to trap my hands and feet, and then stuff a rag in my mouth." Xu Guanwu raised his hands and surrendered.

"I hate it, it's a little bit less." Zhao Yazhi poked him in the head with a smile and said.

……

Early the next morning, after Xu Guanwu returned to the company, he immediately found Zhao Zhenqiang.

Zhao Zhenqiang didn't know what the big boss of Ludao was looking for, so he couldn't help but hurriedly rushed over in fear.

"Is it because there was a problem with the premiere of "Shanghai Tang" yesterday?" Zhao Zhenqiang came by car and guessed in his heart.

"Shanghai Tang" is the crystallization of his careful production, using TVB's first-line student Zhou Runfa, first-line Huadan Zhao Yazhi as the starring role, and boldly using the newcomer actor Ren Dawei, Liu Dan and the two as the main supporting roles, the script is produced by Liang Yongmei, Liang Yonghua, Liu Shiyu, etc., and the theme song is also the work of the famous composer Mr. Lu Guozhen.

He thinks that the first episode broadcast yesterday, whether it is the plot, characters, costumes, sets, or even the theme song, dialogue, performances, etc., can be regarded as flawless. Such a well-made episode of the TV series, after the broadcast, should have received a call from the boss to congratulate him, why did he let himself go to the office now. If it's a compliment, just say it on the phone. There is no need to call people to the company at all. It doesn't seem to be a compliment. It's about being criticized.

"Could it be something that went wrong?" Zhao Zhenqiang couldn't help but be suspicious. But I really couldn't think of what I had done wrong, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't help but wonder more and more.

Hurried to Xu Guanwu's office, "Mr. Xu, I'm here." After Zhao Zhenqiang entered Xu Guanwu's office, he was still a little nervous.

"Yes, sit, sit." Xu Guanwu glanced up at him. Waving his hand to make him sit down first, he continued to scribble on the paper.

Zhao Zhenqiang found a seat and sat down in fear, staring at Xu Guanwu with his eyes, and saw that he was writing there with a dragon and snake, scribbling and changing from time to time, I don't know what Lu Dao is writing. "Is it writing me a letter of resignation, or is it changing my contract?" Zhao Zhenqiang couldn't help but think crankily.

At this moment, Xu Guanwu got up and walked over with a blank piece of paper. "Hey, why do you look sweaty. Did I urge you to come too quickly, so that you didn't even have time to take a car. Ran by yourself? Xu Guanwu teased with a smile.

Zhao Zhenqiang smiled bitterly, he was in such an uneasy mood, where did he get the mood to joke, "Mr. Xu, what is it that makes you so anxious?" ”

"Oh, yes, I watched the premiere of the first episode of Shanghai Tang yesterday." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, Zhao Zhenqiang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he listened to Xu Guanwu continue, "I think this first episode is generally pretty good. ”

Zhao Zhenqiang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not careless in his heart, because he knew that people like Xu Guanwu were talking about the "but" in the back, and what was said earlier was just useless foreshadowing, if you only noticed the words in front and ignored what was said later, then you would have misunderstood.

Sure enough, Xu Guanwu's words changed, "But in fact, there is still a little flaw." ”

"Yes, please show me Mr. Xu." Zhao Zhenqiang hurriedly asked.

"yes, I think there's something wrong with the theme song chosen for this TV series." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "The theme song of this TV series is the work of Mr. Lu Guozhan, right?" ”

Zhao Zhenqiang nodded, "That's right, I specially asked Mr. Lu Guozhan to help write it, he has also written many TV theme songs before, and he is known as Lu Daxia." ”

"I know the truth, but in Mr. Lu Guozhen's works, there are more themes of national hatred and family hatred." Xu Guanwu nodded, "However, "Shanghai Tang" is written about the love of children and daughters, and the ups and downs of life, which is very different from the theme that Mr. Lu Guozhan is good at. The drama "Shanghai Tang" does not focus on the competition between the heroes and the heroes. Although Xu Wenqiang is a gang member on the surface, he also pretends to be a national righteousness in his heart, and he can't just be regarded as a gang figure. His hard work in Shanghai cannot be regarded as a struggle for fame and fortune and getting ahead. Do you understand this? ”

"Ah, I understand when Mr. Xu says that." Zhao Zhenqiang suddenly realized, "This theme song is really wrong. ”

"Well, it's best if you understand." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "This is the theme song I wrote for "Shanghai Tang", you can take it over and see if it fits." ”

Xu Guanwu said and handed over a piece of white paper full of words to Zhao Zhenqiang.

Zhao Zhenqiang took it suspiciously, looked down, and saw a large number of lyrics written on the white paper, "Waves run, waves flow, thousands of miles of surging rivers never end......"

That's right, what Xu Guanwu wrote on the blank paper for Zhao Zhenqiang is the classic theme song of the "Shanghai Tang" TV series in his previous life. This song can be said to have become popular all over the country, so that singer Ye Liyi has become a famous singer, this song has been sung from the 80s to the new century, and it is still a must-have track for her concerts. She herself once said that people may not know who Ye Liyi is, but when they hear "Waves run, waves ......", they will always hum loudly together.

This song was originally a joint work created by Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, but because it was too late for the two of them to create first, because the theme song will be changed tonight, from writing the song to recording to re-editing, it only takes half a day to complete it. Therefore, Xu Guanwu had no choice but to give full play to the true character of the copyist and write this song first.

After Zhao Zhenqiang finished reading it, he couldn't help but look at Xu Guanwu in surprise, although he didn't know much about simple scores, but just looking at the lyrics, he already knew that this was a good song. "Mr. Xu, you wrote this song yourself?! It's a rare good song. He couldn't help but praise.

He didn't say this exactly as a sycophant, but mostly out of his own heart.

"Xie Lu Xie, you just think it's suitable." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Okay, I'm looking for you today, that's all for it." You should go back and find someone to rearrange and record the music. Just find Mr. Gu Jiahui. ”

"Yes, I'll go back and do it right away." Zhao Zhenqiang nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, if there is nothing to do, then I will leave first." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Okay, you can go first." Remember that when filming "Shanghai Tang", you can come to me for anything, ask people for money, and I want to make this TV series perfect. ”

"Yes, Mr. Xie Lu Xie Xu supports." Zhao Zhenqiang listened to Xu Guanwu's words, and couldn't help but feel a little excited. (To be continued......)
