Shangting City.

All members of the directing team of the film "Anti-Narcotics" are in a meeting.

Xu Jing, a female director in her 40s, slapped the table hard, and the conference room, which was still noisy, was immediately silent and silent.

"The new movie is still 20 days away, and the promotional song has not been finalized for a long time, so please tell me, especially my colleagues in the film and television music group, when I can get the right promotional song."

"Director Xu." The head of the film and television music group stood up tremblingly, "We are not professional musicians in the first place, and you can't even take it out." Later, 7 or 8 versions of the promotional song were sent from Huandi Entertainment one after another, but you denied them. ”

"There were even a few times when it was the work of a viscount musician, and it didn't pass." The head of the film and television music group looked up cautiously at Xu Jing, who had a cold face. "What they mean is either to add money and ask earl-level musicians to help, or to stop the list and return the money to us."

"Am I being too demanding? Or are there no other musical talents? ”

Xu Jing was silent for a while, and continued to speak slowly: "What kind of story does "Anti-Narcotics" tell, everyone here knows very well, you also know very well what the content of the propaganda song they gave is, do you think the content of the song matches the story? ”

Looking at the conference room that was still silent, the impatient Xu Jing continued to ask the person in charge of the film and television music group: "What do Emperor Entertainment and Starlight Entertainment say?" ”

"Starlight Entertainment's offer exceeded our budget, and Emperor Entertainment didn't accept our order at all."

"And if it is according to your current requirements, we may need a Earl's musician, or even a Marquis' musician, to help us customize it." The person in charge of the film and television music group said bitterly.

"A marquis?" Xu Jing laughed angrily, "Please make a move, is my face big enough?" Or is the crew's money really not enough to spend? ”

"I don't care what the final result is, I hope to see the propaganda song on my desk within five days." Xu Jing made the final instructions resolutely.

"That's it, adjournment."

Soon, the crew members who participated in the meeting all bowed their heads and streamed out of the conference room.

Xu Jing threw herself onto the back chair and sighed and rubbed her headache.

Of course, Xu Jing also knows that their crew is a medium-sized crew at most, and the entire investment does not exceed 100 million yuan, and it is almost impossible to spend a huge amount of money to invite earl-level or even marquis-level musicians to make a move, and the funds are no longer allowed.

But it just happened to be stuck in the mouth of the music scene that was about to explode, and if the promotional song was not passed, it would be easy to affect the box office of the movie.

The female secretary next to her looked at the distressed Xu Jing, and her mouth moved, "Director Xu, otherwise you can contact Director Zhang, he has a count-level musician over there, and he should be able to come up with a song that you are satisfied with." ”

Hearing the word "Director Zhang", Xu Jing, who was rubbing her head, suddenly stopped, and the air flow in the conference room seemed to slow down.

"I see, you make me think again."

Xu Jing said angrily.

Thistle City.

[Zhang Yi Film and Television Studio].

Wang Xie, who was at work, was opening a movie as usual when he was "looking for inspiration".

Li Chengle appeared at the door of the department, "Everyone in the film and television soundtrack department has gone to the conference room for a meeting, and there is a task." ”

With the sound of friction and footsteps moving chairs, Wang Xie also got up with the current and went to the conference room.

After everyone arrived at the conference room, Li Chengle said with a serious face: "Temporary life, the theme song of a movie." Asked for a delivery within a week, I will now send you the plot synopsis and creative requirements of the movie. ”

When Li Chengle had just finished speaking, he signaled the staff to start distributing the folder with the movie synopsis and creative requirements, and the voice of questions sounded below.

"Is it our movie?"

"It shouldn't be, we all follow the group when the film project is established, not just a summary."

"Don't we never do soundtracks for foreign movies?"

"Who knows, anyway, looking at Director Li's face, it should be very important."

"Oh my God, it's a week to deliver, it's a joke on me."

"I don't think we should be called [Film and Television Score Department], but [Music Creation Department]."

At this time, Wang Xie also received a document with a printed synopsis of the film and the requirements for creation.

On the cover of the document was written two big words: "Anti-narcotics".

Wang Xie first flipped through the overall synopsis of the movie:

It is a realistic story of despair and redemption. In order to gain the trust of the head of the group, he was forced to go along with the underground organization and did some things that violated the conscience of the arrest department.

And when Wang Xie turned to the page of the song again, he only saw a short sentence, "A hero who hovers in darkness and light." ”

Wang Xie scratched his head with a headache.

Generally speaking, for musicians, the basis of a good song is a sudden hint of inspiration.

In addition to inspiration, this kind of film and television soundtrack songwriting also requires that the content and artistic conception of the song must be integrated with the plot of the movie in order to play a complementary role.

It's about making musicians dance in shackles.

This promotional song creation requires [Heroes Wandering in Darkness and Light], which is very general and stream-of-consciousness, and shortens the "shackles" of dancing by a few points, and there are even fewer places for people to move.

This kind of creation can't just rely on a flash of inspiration, but still depends on who understands the plot better.

Even the "Father of the Lyrics" didn't dare to pack a ticket, and he would definitely be able to write a perfectly fitting song in the short term.

For example, the last time Zhang Yi filmed "Youling! Youling! 》。 Wang Xie, who was still a newcomer at the time, directly defeated the marquis-level musician Han Boqi, the lyricist, through "Red Ling", because the songs created by Wang Xie were more in line with the director's intentions.

Sure enough, after seeing the creative request, there was a wail in the conference room.

"A hero who hovers between darkness and light? What the hell is this? ”

"I know every word, and I don't even know what it means."

"Light and darkness? Fall and Redemption? ”

"You said that the trumpet can be added to make the atmosphere more sad or joyful."

"Then I still suggest that you go to suona, either great joy or great sorrow."

"It's too difficult, I really don't know."

"You said that if I can't hand it in, will I be expelled?"

Looking at the wailing employees below, Li Chengle's face turned pale, "Give me silence." ”

"This mission is very, very, very important, compared to the last time Director Zhang personally filmed "Youling! Youling! is also important, so everyone must give it their all. ”

Li Chengle looked at the employees below, and felt helpless.

After all, everyone is not particularly clear about the content of the movie, and the time required is still short, and the most important thing is not their own movie. Can it really be done by relying on this group of non-top musicians?

But this incident is really important to Director Zhang Yi, so he can only cast a wide net for everyone to try, in case it happens.

In order to raise everyone's attention to this matter, Li Chengle continued to speak: "If it doesn't work out this time, including me, we will get out, just like that, the meeting will be dismissed." ”

Wang Xie pursed his lips, feeling that it had nothing to do with him, after all, he didn't give money, so he decided to go back home to continue "looking for inspiration", and finally handed in a perfunctory song on the expiration date.

"Wang Xie stays for a moment."

But before Wang Xie took the initiative to blend in with the flow of people and fled the conference room, he was arrested and it was Li Chengle who spoke.

Li Chengle looked at Wang Xie and knew that this kid was lazy and sick again, so he stopped Wang Xie.

Wang Xie looked at Li Chengle with an innocent face, waiting for the leader's lecture.

"You kid, do you want to make a come?" Li Chengle immediately saw Wang Xie's thoughts.

"Hey, look at what you said, what do you mean by making a living, it's obviously uninspired." Wang Xie said with a "helpless" face.

"Director Zhang knows that your kid is like this." Li Chengle patted Wang Xie on the shoulder, "Director Zhang just told me privately that if you can write it, the film crew will pay 2 million, and Director Zhang will add another 3 million privately, and only the film and television copyright will be added." ”

Can Wang Xie write? I can write it.

Does Wang Xie have a good song? Of course.

The main thing is to see if it's worth it, since you have said so, then Wang Xie must be making some extra money.

"I also have a request, this song should be uploaded on the new song chart on December 10th." Wang Xie nodded and said.

"You kid really have it? What about the quality? Li Chengle was just trying it, but he didn't expect Wang Xie to say such a thing, it must be a bit of a spectrum.

"Hey, it's just a vague idea." Wang Xie said perfunctorily.

Li Chengle looked at Wang Xie deeply, and said in a low voice, "I didn't want to say it, but in order to let you kid contribute, I'll tell you now, but you have to keep it secret." ”

After Li Chengle finished whispering, Wang Xie understood why Director Zhang Yi attached so much importance to this matter.

Xu Jing, Zhang Yi's classmate, is also Zhang Yi's ex-wife.

It's just that Zhang Yi is a world-famous director, and although Xu Jing is also very talented, he is still a first-class director in Dahua at most.

Xu Jing and Zhang Yi's directing style and ideas are not on the same line at all.

But director Zhang Yi, who became famous at a young age, stubbornly believes that if Xu Jing is under his guidance, he will definitely become famous soon.

So as long as Xu Jing made a movie, Zhang Yi was on the set to point fingers, and when Xu Jing finally finished filming, Zhang Yi ran to the editing room and asked to edit according to his own ideas.

In the end, because Xu Jing wanted to maintain her own style, Zhang Yi thought that Xu Jing didn't know good people's hearts, and after many quarrels, the two chose to divorce.

It wasn't until Zhang Yi grew older and understood the director's deeper pursuit that he knew that he was wrong, but Xu Jing never paid attention to him anymore.

But this time Xu Jing took the initiative to call him, hoping to borrow his film and television soundtrack department, and he felt that this was an opportunity for the relationship between husband and wife to warm up, so he attached so much importance to this matter.

After Wang Xie understood the whole thing, he felt that this matter could be done, so he nodded: "I took the job, the film and television copyright is 2 million, and the other bonuses are forgotten, when I thank Director Zhang for taking care of me at that time." ”

"Hey, you kid, don't forget that I'm also involved in the creation, you're so confident that you can win." Li Chengle was a little unhappy, this kid was too inflated.

"Hehe, I'll make you a big one this time, you wait and see."

Wang Xie said with a grin.
