Chapter 183: Painting the Heart
Peng Yingjia looked at the call record that had been pressed down again, and fell into deep thought.
This is the fifth time that Zhang Songnian has hung up his phone.
Peng Yingjia showed a wry smile on his face, as an executive of Xingcan, even if he was facing a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the entertainment industry, he didn't seem to have been so snubbed.
Zhang Songnian on the other side didn't seem to care that he was Xingcan's executive at all, except for the opportunity to report his home when he first called him, Zhang Songnian hung up the phone directly without even giving himself a chance to speak.
"Quite a temper." Peng Yingjia looked at the call record on his mobile phone and muttered to himself.
Qiu Youtong explained that he must do it no matter what.
There are always more solutions than difficulties.
Peng Yingjia gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision in his heart, and put away his phone again.
-----------------
Li Xingruo watched Zhang Songnian hang up the call on his mobile phone with some impatience, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who, it seems that he has been calling you."
"Peng Yingjia." Zhang Songnian replied.
Realizing Li Xingruo's puzzled eyes, Zhang Songnian explained: "It seems that he is an executive of Xingcan, and it is said that he is the head of the artist department, and he probably has a very high status in Xingcan."
The look on Li Xingruo's face became more and more puzzled, and he asked, "Since you are Xingcan's person and an executive, why did you call you?"
Zhang Songnian shrugged, and then said, "Who knows, I hung up after hearing that he was Xingcan's person."
Because of Li Xingruo, Zhang Songnian has never had a good impression of the people in Xingcan Entertainment.
Moreover, Jin Yu was finally fighting against Xingcan during this time, and basically ended in Jin Yu's victory, Zhang Songnian felt that there was nothing to talk about.
"Aren't you going to see why people are looking for you first?" Li Xingruo couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Songnian pulled his mobile phone and blocked Peng Yingjia's number, and then responded: "What is there to know, no matter how good he says, I won't give them a good look if he wants to bully you."
After Li Xingruo heard Zhang Songnian's words, his face turned slightly red, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Songnian, looked at him with a little disgust and said, "I'm telling you about serious things, why are you doing all this nonsense?"
Zhang Songnian raised his head and said, "I'm serious, Xingcan's company has been very uncomfortable from the beginning, and there is nothing to talk about with them, even if I leave Jin Yu, I won't join Xingcan."
Li Xing nodded thoughtfully.
Zhang Songnian looked at Li Xingruo, who was still stunned, then pinched the latter's smooth cheeks, and said, "Don't think about it, practice singing with peace of mind, you have a single task this month."
Li Xingruo is used to Zhang Songnian's behavior of pinching his nose or cheek at every turn.
Li Xingruo habitually slapped the latter's hand away, wrinkled his nose and said, "Don't make trouble."
Zhang Songnian smiled, then turned around and took out a sheet of music, and then said, "It just so happens that Director Qu Xueyan has a new movie that is going to be released recently, just a few days, so I found me some time ago and asked me to write a theme song for his new movie."
Li Xingruo took the score handed over by Zhang Songnian and glanced at the content on it.
"Draw hearts?"
Li Xingruo said to himself.
Zhang Songnian nodded, and then said: "Yes, Qu Xueyan doesn't seem to have the idea of making a main theme movie this year, and has switched to making costume love movies, and the movie chooses to release a new movie between the summer file and the National Day file, which is quite bold."
Qu Xueyan's new movie this time doesn't seem to be rushing to the box office, because if the movie is released in this embarrassing time period, it is basically impossible to have a very good box office.
Zhang Songnian is actually not very familiar with Qu Xueyan, but he can't stand his father-in-law being familiar with others.
And when Li Xingruo was in difficulty, Qu Xueyan also pulled Li Xingruo
。
So some time ago, when Qu Xueyan asked him to help write the theme song, Zhang Songnian simply agreed.
After reading the script provided by Qu Xueyan, Zhang Songnian felt the wonder of the world.
Although it is a parallel universe, the story of Qu Xueyan's new movie is not much different from the painting skin in his impression.
The ancient general saved a beautiful woman in the war, and in the process of getting along, the two fell in love with each other, so the general took her home and took her as a concubine.
Although the woman is transformed by the fox demon, she is true love for the general, and she belongs to the kind that loves to the bones.
And he is just his concubine, and the love he gets is far less than the original match.
Therefore, the fox demon rose up with the idea of murdering the original partner, and then replaced the position of the original partner in her husband's heart.
Zhang Songnian can clearly feel that Qu Xueyan chose to release a new movie in such an embarrassing time period this time, and he didn't plan to rush to the box office at all.
Zhang Songnian estimated that Qu Xueyan was going to win the award this time.
Although the story is similar, in terms of script, Qu Xueyan's movie is much more literary and artistic than commercial movies like "Painted Skin" in his impression.
It can be seen that Qu Xueyan attaches great importance to this movie, and when discussing the theme song with Zhang Songnian, he also specially analyzed the plot with Zhang Songnian word by word, striving for Zhang Songnian to understand what story he wants to tell.
This is a literary film that combines multiple elements such as suspense, thriller, and love.
However, although it looks much more literary than the movie "Painted Skin", this song is still the most suitable for use as the theme song of Qu Xueyan's new movie.
Moreover, Zhang Songnian felt that he could not find a song that fit the script better than "Painting Heart".
The moment he saw the script, Zhang Songnian thought of the song "Painting Heart".
And in Zhang Songnian's view, Li Xingruo's voice is actually very suitable for interpreting the song "Painting Heart".
The song "Painting Heart" is sung by Zhang Liangying on the earth, Zhang Liangying's voice is very soft, but in Zhang Songnian's opinion, if you compare the timbre, in fact, Li Xing is better.
And Li Xingruo's singing voice is not only her signature ethereal timbre, but also the emotional control of the song is also excellent.
The song "Painting Heart" has high requirements for the emotional expression of timbre, and Zhang Songnian feels that Li Xingruo is actually very suitable for singing this song.
Perhaps the only difficulty is that Zhang Songnian is not sure whether Li Xingruo will be able to complete the most brilliant dolphin voice chant in the climax of this song.
It is not easy to know that this dolphin sound is not low.
Nearly half a minute of chanting, the sound from low to high, step by step, the emotional expression of the song is also elongated step by step with the increase of the pitch, not only to take into account the pitch and pitch, but also to ensure the accurate expression of emotions.
The difficulty is very high.
Even when Zhang Liangying recorded this song, it took a lot of effort.
And from the fact that Zhang Liangying almost does not choose to sing this song at the scene, it is known that this song is extremely difficult, if you want to sing this song at the scene, overturning is a high probability event.
Li Xingruo was obviously very interested in this song, and as soon as he got the score, he looked at it seriously, and even hummed along softly while reading it.
"I can't see through it, it's your lost soul, I can't guess it, it's the color of your pupils~"
"A gust of wind, a dream love is as unpredictable as life, what is your heart bewitched........
.........
Li Xingruo's singing voice is like a heavenly sound, even if it is just a gentle hum, just a cappella without any accompaniment, but Zhang Songnian is still immersed in it and can't extricate himself.
When he saw the score and lyrics for the first time, Li Xingruo was still able to accurately express the emotions of this song, which was what Zhang Songnian was most amazed about.
Zhang Songnian has always been very aware that his wife has a high talent for singing, but this time it can be regarded as a real experience.
However, Li Xingruo sang to the second stanza
When the chorus was sung at its climax, Li Xingruo couldn't sing anymore.
Although Li Xingruo's vocal range is very wide, the difficulty of the dolphin sound is still very high.
Especially when she has not opened her voice, but is just humming gently, it is difficult to complete this difficult chant.
Li Xingruo felt a little annoyed when he found that he couldn't sing, especially when Zhang Songnian was still listening.
Looking at Li Xingruo's pouting appearance, Zhang Songnian felt that Li Xingruo was a little cute at this moment.
"I think it's good." Zhang Songnian looked at Li Xingruo and said with a smile.
Li Xingruo pursed his lips, looked at the score in his hand carefully, and said with some annoyance. "This song is good, but the difficulty is really a bit high, especially the dolphin voice in the middle, I haven't sung such a high song."
Zhang Songnian couldn't help but smile and said, "Didn't you say that you have a high talent for singing, it's just a dolphin voice, you must be able to do it!"
Zhang Songnian did not forget to cheer Li Xingruo on.
Li Xingruo pursed her lips, in fact, she only complained a little.
Since his debut in the entertainment industry, Li Xingruo has never encountered a song that he can't sing.
Whether it is the width of the vocal range or the emotional grasp of the song, Li Xingruo thinks that she is a relatively talented female singer in the Chinese music scene.
It's just a dolphin sound, how can I not sing it.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xingruo walked directly past Zhang Songnian, came to the piano, and put the score on the piano.
Then the green jade finger tried a few notes on the piano keys to find the tone, and after confirming that there was no problem with the pitch and tone, Li Xingruo began to play and sing by himself.
Zhang Songnian listened carefully on the side, and he even took out his mobile phone and turned on the recording function.
With the blessing of piano accompaniment, the melody of this song is highlighted, and at the same time, Li Xingruo's singing voice is more delicate and poignant under the background of the accompaniment.
When he sang it for the second time, Li Xingruo was obviously one step closer to expressing his emotions than just now.
Zhang Songnian once again lamented his wife's great talent in singing.
This is no longer God's reward for eating, this is the kind of God chasing after feeding, and he is afraid that she will not be able to eat.
"Loving you is like a heartbeat that is hard to touch, drawing you can't draw your bones and remembering your face, it's my persistence waiting for you, you are a song I can't finish.......
Li Xingruo's singing voice once again sang to the climax of the chorus, and Zhang Songnian couldn't help but sit straight and look at Li Xingruo.
He is looking forward to whether Li Xingruo can sing the most difficult part of this song.
"Ahhhh
.......
Li Xingruo's singing emotional performance is very in place and full of infectiousness.
After forty seconds of chanting, Li Xingruo's singing voice was in tune from low to high, and the ethereal dolphin voice completed the interpretation under Li Xingruo's slightly relaxed look.
Zhang Songnian listened to the whole process on the side, and when Li Xingruo sang the third eight beats, Zhang Songnian felt that the goosebumps all over his body were erected by Li Xingruo's chanting.
In the last eight beats, Zhang Songnian had a feeling that his heart was hit hard, which was a melody that hit his heart.
The grievances are desolate and incomparable.
Zhang Songnian subconsciously thought of these two words in his heart.
Li Xingruo's singing stopped, and his fingers slowly pulled out of the piano keys, and he finished singing.
After trying to sing the whole song, Li Xingruo was in a good mood.
This song doesn't seem to be as difficult as I imagined.
The only difficulty may be the high note after the second chorus, but it seems that my singing skills have improved a lot during this time, and it doesn't take much effort to sing the dolphin sound.
If it weren't for the fact that I didn't open my voice when I sang it for the first time just now, and my voice was too low, I guess I would have been able to sing it.
Li Xingruo rubbed his fingers, and then subconsciously
turned his head to find Zhang Songnian.
"What are you doing on your knees?" Li Xingruo looked at Zhang Songnian who was kneeling on the ground with some strangeness.
Zhang Songnian still maintained a kneeling posture, looked at Li Xingruo, blinked his eyes, and said, "You sang it."
Li Xingruo looked at Zhang Songnian with a more and more confused expression, as if he hadn't figured out what he meant.
Zhang Songnian didn't care whether Li Xingruo understood or not, he quickly got up and walked to Li Xingruo and sat down, and then said, "That's it!"
Zhang Songnian first cut the recording he had just recorded, and then sent it to Qu Xueyan, then clapped his hands and said, "Let's hurry up and record this song, let's go to the composition department to find someone to help make the arrangement, and Director Qu Xueyan is urging him quite tightly."
Li Xingruo nodded, and had no opinion on this.
As far as the state of singing this song by myself just now, it shouldn't take too much time to record this song.
-----------------
Qu Xueyan was busy with new movies during this time, and he had been making the main theme movie for several years, and Qu Xueyan wanted to find a new direction to challenge himself.
After thinking about it, he still feels that as a director, he should have his own literary film.
So he has been preparing for his new film since he finished filming the movie "The Age of Fathers" last year.
Looking for the theme, looking for the script, and changing the script, I have been busy with this movie for a year.
When the movie was completed and about to be released, Qu Xueyan felt that the theme song of his new movie didn't seem right, so he had the idea of replacing the theme song.
It just so happened that Qu Xueyan remembered that he had made an appointment with Zhang Songnian before, so he naturally found Zhang Songnian.
Zhang Songnian was also very straightforward and agreed directly.
But in fact, Qu Xueyan himself is also a little worried in his heart, after all, it has not been long before the movie is released, and it is not certain whether Zhang Songnian can write a song.
Even if you come out, it's very difficult to do if you're not satisfied, and it's impossible to change the schedule of a movie because of a theme song, there's no such thing.
With such troubles, Qu Xueyan has been struggling with the idea of whether to replace the theme song in the past few days.
Zhang Songnian's message interrupted Qu Xueyan's thoughts.
Qu Xueyan picked up his mobile phone, looked at the file called "Painting Heart" sent by Zhang Songnian, and clicked on it directly.
"Draw hearts? The title of the song is interesting, so let's listen to it......
Qu Xueyan clicked on the document while muttering to himself
