Gu Xintong's sadness came and went faster, and before Zhou Cheng could think about whether to comfort her, she had already regained her spirits, looked at Zhou Cheng and asked, "Brother Cheng, what did you say Wang Yang came over tonight?" ”

"Guess what?"

"Brother Wang definitely won't come here to eat hot pot."

"Only a foodie like you will think about a hot pot and then come all the way over."

"You're a foodie." Gu Xintong was dissatisfied, and then thought that he seemed to be really following to eat, and he was not convincing at all, so he had to continue the topic just now: "Brother Feng sent the demo over, and Brother Wang followed, I guess I am also interested in this song." ”

Speaking of the Demo, Gu Xintong didn't care about his own feeling of being overwhelmed, and immediately got up and returned to his room and took out an Aihua CD player.

Zhou Cheng was originally going to listen to this song "created" by himself on the computer in the study, but he watched Gu Xintong stretch out his hand to ask for the CD, and still handed it over.

"I want you, you're by my side

I want you to make up for me

The wind is blowing this night

Tickle my heart, my lover

……”

The accompaniment of this song is slightly different from that of another world, after Feng Chong used the guitar as the main accompaniment, he still added the low sound of the clarinet, which made the original guitar more melodious and slow, coupled with Wang Yang's low and gentle interpretation, so that Gu Xintong, who listened to this song for the first time, couldn't help but be intoxicated, and repeated it twice in a row before stopping the play.

"Brother Cheng, are you writing the lyrics for this song?" Gu Xintong saw Zhou Cheng nodding proudly, revealing a look of admiration. When Zhou Cheng thought she was going to praise herself, she didn't expect the other party to continue: "Brother Feng's music is really good, and some gentle voices of Shanghai singers are added to it, and Brother Wang sings it well, this is obviously a song about a woman missing her lover, and he actually sang it so poignantly." ”

As soon as Gu Xintong's words fell, he saw Zhou Cheng stand up, and then put away the beach chair with an expressionless face. Gu Xintong hurriedly stood up, reached out to grab the chair, and smiled at Zhou Cheng: "Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, I was wrong, I was wrong!" ”

Seeing that Zhou Cheng didn't speak, just stared at himself, Gu Xintong continued: "The main thing about this song is that the lyrics are well written, yes, the lyrics are good." It perfectly describes a woman's longing for her lover, and it is a love song with a beautiful artistic conception. ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Zhou Cheng said arrogantly, and then reopened the folded chair.

"Childish." Gu Xintong whispered, and when she found that Zhou Cheng was looking over, she hurriedly pretended not to say anything and lay back on her rattan chair, looking at the bend of the eyebrow moon in the sky, and humming the two lyrics that impressed her the most in the song: "I am in a foreign country, looking at the moon." Where are you, seeing the dawn. Brother Cheng, in your lyrics, these two sentences have the most beautiful artistic conception, which is completely a girl and her lover. ”

Zhou Cheng also looked at the crooked crescent moon in the sky and said: "This song is written for Zhang Yiman." By the way, Zhang Yiman is a singer from Shanghai Tang, Feng Chong's composition is not bad, and Zhang Yiman's psychology is expressed. ”

"Zhang Yiman? The characters in your script? Gu Xintong turned a blind eye to Zhou Cheng's pretence, but he was still full of interest in Zhou Cheng's script: "Brother Cheng, what is the story of this drama you want to film?" You even wrote a song for it. ”

"It's about an English teacher named Donkey Gets Water......"

Zhou Cheng was very interested in talking tonight, plus Gu Xintong's support, and then told the general story of the story. Only then did he realize that Gu Xintong, who had always been cool, turned out to be also a sensual person.

The funny scenes in the script can make Gu Xintong laugh backwards. However, when it was said that Zhang Yiman was accused and abused by everyone, and she slapped herself six or seven times in order to show her resistance, Gu Xintong gradually lost her voice. From the bulge of her hands, which clung to the armrests of the wicker chair, she could show the resentment in her heart. In the end, when talking about Zhang Yiman, a seemingly coquettish but actually kind-hearted woman who pursues freedom and can keep the bottom line, ended up committing suicide, Zhou Cheng saw two water marks flashing on Gu Xintong's cheeks.

"Wipe it off. Touched by this character? Or were you moved by my script? ”

"Thank you." Gu Xintong didn't refute, just took the tissue and wiped the corners of his eyes silently, and said to himself: "Actually, this is 'slut shaming'." At a time when no one needs to sacrifice, she can laugh out loud, as if she had happiness and human rights. But when the 'disaster' really came, she didn't even have the right to cry. ”

Zhou Cheng did not comfort her after the script was told, nor did he continue to develop the other characters in this story with her, because here in Gu Xintong, Zhang Yiman's death represents the end of the story.

Gu Xintong's mood came and went quickly, and after a while, he returned to a straightforward and optimistic state, and after some sentimentality, he talked about Wang Yang's purpose: "I guess Brother Wang also sees the value of your film, so he will follow Brother Feng over, in addition to wanting to get your authorization, I may also hope to be able to sing the theme song for this movie for you." ”

"Yes, that's what he meant." Zhou Cheng nodded: "When he mentioned my brother-in-law, he wanted to mention this copyright, but I diverted the topic with it." ”

"You hit this one while you're eating?" Gu Xintong looked at Zhou Cheng with some surprise.

"Let's learn." Zhou Cheng proudly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before explaining to Gu Xintong: "The dinner party has always been the most important social place in our Huaxia, as an agent, you must learn to observe words and feelings, sometimes the other party will use the wine bureau to put forward some difficult requirements for strong people, at this time you have to learn to be smart and prepare in advance." When the other party didn't speak, he interrupted the other party's words euphemistically. Only in this way can we not hurt each other's feelings and not make it difficult for ourselves. ”

"Admire, admire!" Gu Xintong gave Zhou Cheng a thumbs up, if she relied on her own exploration, it was estimated that she would have to suffer several losses before she could comprehend them. Then Gu Xintong raised his own question: "Did Brother Wang just give up?" ”

"Definitely not." Zhou Cheng shook his head: "If he is really determined to win this song, he will definitely contact me through other channels, such as my cousin-in-law." ”

"Will you say yes then?"

Zhou Cheng didn't answer directly, but looked at Gu Xintong and said, "Test you, if you have such a resource in your hands, what can you do to maximize your benefits?" And it's a win-win. ”

"Maximize benefits, but also win-win?" Hearing Zhou Cheng's question, Gu Xintong fell into deep thought.

Zhou Cheng didn't care about her, but found a comfortable position to lie down. The floor fan next to it "squeaked" and shook its head to show that it was dissatisfied, but the wind it blew still dispersed the heat.

Listening to the sound of the wind and the sound of cicadas, Zhou Cheng's original drunkenness gradually dissipated, and he began to think seriously about what he should do to maximize his interests if Wang Yang really asked Liu Tian to come over and talk about it.

It is definitely not appropriate to sell the copyright directly to Wang Yang, even if you can get a sum of money, but this is not in Zhou Cheng's interests.

And the song is written from a female perspective.

In another world, Zhang Yiman's actor Ren Suxi perfectly overlapped his image with Zhang Yiman through this song, and moved all the audience with his soulful voice, which added a lot of heat to this film.

When Zhou Cheng completed this script, the first role he wanted to determine was also Ren Suxi. It was only after he inquired with Chen Li and Chu Ran that he found out that there was no such student in the Chinese opera of this world, and there were no acting departments and no director departments. This caused a lot of trouble to Zhou Cheng, after all, Ren Suxi's Zhang Yiman impressed Zhou Cheng too much,

Wang Ludan and Li Jiaqi can be replaced, and Tong Liya's vacancy is also occupied by Yang Luyao, but where can I find another Ren Suxi?

Zhou Cheng went through the actresses he knew in the world in his mind, and he didn't know which actor to choose to play this coquettish and charming but soft-hearted woman.

When Zhou Cheng was thinking about Ren Suxi's replacement, Gu Xintong already had the answer: "Brother Cheng, if this resource is in my hands, I should authorize the copyright of this song to Brother Wang." ”

"Oh, tell me what you think?"

"If it were me, I would license this song to Brother Wang, and even license it to him for free." Gu Xintong repeated it again, as if to cheer himself up again, then raised his head to look at Zhou Cheng, and said with a determined expression: "The licensing fee for this song of yours is estimated to be more than 100,000 yuan." ”

"Yes, the price in my heart is 100,000 yuan." Zhou Cheng nodded.

"How much did you invest in this film?"

"My budget is 8 million, and the cost of publicity and distribution is estimated to exceed 10 million." Zhou Cheng did not hide that during this time, he had already made this budget and was ready to use it for investment negotiations: "So I don't like this 100,000 yuan at all, so I don't plan to authorize him." ”

"Ah, so much investment?" Gu Xintong was obviously shocked by this number, and then immediately returned to the topic: "As a famous folk singer in China, although Wang Yang has not had any new works in recent years, his status in the minds of those of us born in the 80s should be very high. After all, we all grew up listening to his "You at the Same Table" and "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk". ”

"You mean to license it to him for free, but he must cooperate with my film promotion and distribution work, and use his own influence to evoke the memories of those post-80s fans and increase the publicity effect of the movie?"

"yes, that's it." Gu Xintong saw that Zhou Cheng understood what he meant, and said proudly: "You must know that the post-80s generation is the main audience of your drama. This way you can save a lot of money on publicity. ”

"Slow down and get excited." Zhou Cheng shook his finger at Gu Xintong: "There are two problems in this. First of all, our film has not even been completed, and the post-production is far away, do you think the other party will make a commitment for a film that will be released without knowing when it will be released? Secondly, why do you think that Wang Yang cooperated with us for free to do our publicity work for the sake of this song written for girls to sing? ”

"Aren't you already on budget?" Gu Xintong looked at Zhou Cheng puzzled and asked.
