Chapter 208 - Temporary Changes

When Zhang Lan was still complaining about the two people behind her, her mobile phone rang.

Zhang Lan picked up her mobile phone and habitually answered the phone.

After hearing the other party's self-report, Zhang Lan couldn't help but sit up straight and pricked up her ears.

The call was not long, only two or three minutes, and most of the time Zhang Lan was listening, occasionally responding.

It's just that after Zhang Lan hung up the phone, her face was not very good.

"Sister Lan, whose phone is it?" Li Xingruo could feel that Zhang Lan's tone was not quite right when she called just now.

Zhang Lan was silent for a while before she said, "Xingruo, there is not very good news. ”

Li Xingruo raised his head in surprise, looked at Zhang Lan and asked, "Huh?" What's the matter? ”

Zhang Lan shook her head and sighed and said: "Hey, the director of the Spring Festival Gala program group called me to communicate just now, they changed their minds, although you sang very well, but they felt that the song "As Wished" did not meet their expectations on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala. ”

After Li Xingruo listened to Zhang Lan's words, his heart sank.

Feeling the change in Li Xingruo's mood, Zhang Songnian held Li Xingruo's hand and asked, "Did the Spring Festival Gala program team feel that the song is inappropriate, so the show was defeated?" ”

Zhang Lan shook her head and said: "Not really, in fact, the director of the program team still thinks that Li Xingruo's singing skills are good and can afford to sing solo in the Spring Festival Gala, but the song feels less than expected, and I want Xingruo to change the song and try again." ”

Zhang Lan paused for a moment, and continued: "What he means is that he hopes that we can send him the lyrics and songs of the new songs for review before the next round of Spring Festival Gala rehearsals, and let the program team see if it is verified. ”

Li Xingruo frowned and said: "The next round of Spring Festival Gala rehearsals will only be three or four days away, and even the direction of the theme will not be clear, so if it doesn't work, it won't be on it." ”

Li Xingruo is somewhat resentful of this, and the program team didn't say so during the rehearsal.

This change in the program team caught Li Xingruo off guard.

Zhang Songnian clenched Li Xingruo's hand, then patted the back of his hand lightly and said, "Don't worry, how can you not be on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala." ”

"But..."Li Xingruo wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhang Songnian.

I saw Zhang Songnian wave his hand and said: "Isn't this me, don't worry, it's just a song, let's just change it." ”

Zhang Songnian's expression was quite calm, he remembered a lot of classic songs in his head for the Spring Festival Gala, and he would choose a suitable one for Li Xingruo.

After Zhang Lan heard Zhang Songnian's words, she asked with a look of surprise: "Yes, Songnian is so good at writing songs, it must be okay." ”

Li Xingruo looked at Zhang Songnian, looked at his confident appearance, and asked with some uncertainty: "In just a few days, can you really write the right one?" ”

After hearing Li Xingruo's words, Zhang Lan immediately echoed the worries and said: "But Xingruo is right, in just a few days, can you really write a song that satisfies the program team, they all feel that songs like "As You Wish" are not good enough, and the requirements are too high." ”

After Zhang Songnian heard the words of the two, he didn't say anything, but smiled, and said confidently to Li Xingruo: "Don't worry, I'll write to you when I go back, I will definitely satisfy the Spring Festival Gala program team." ”

Looking at Zhang Songnian's confident appearance, Li Xingruo's heart, which had sunk a little, suddenly calmed down.

Pursing his lips, Li Xingruo said softly: "Don't force yourself, you won't be able to go to the Spring Festival Gala." ”

After Zhang Songnian heard Li Xingruo's words, he looked at Li Xingruo with a wry smile, pinched the latter's cheek, and said: "Have you forgotten how I used to write songs, I must be confident if I can say this, don't worry, even what kind of song I want to write for you, I will have an idea, and I will write it for you when I go back." ”

Li Xingruo thought back to the speed at which Zhang Songnian wrote songs before, and finally put his mind at ease.

After Zhang Lan heard Zhang Songnian's words, she hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then let's go back quickly, write this song as soon as possible, and then send the song to the director team for review if there is no problem." ”

-----------------

After returning home, Zhang Songnian didn't even have time to warm up with Li Xingruo, so he began to write songs.

It took half a day to finally write the tune.

"Where has the time gone........"

Li Xingruo took the score in Zhang Songnian's hand, glanced at the title of the song and read it out to himself.

Then Li Xingruo continued to look at the content of the lyrics, the content of the song is not long, just a few hundred words, and it doesn't take half a minute to read it directly.

But Li Xingruo watched it again and again for several minutes.

"This song is very well written." After being silent for a while, Li Xingruo slowly opened his mouth and said softly.

Zhang Songnian smiled, and then asked: "Then do you think this song meets the aesthetics of the director team, and can it be on the Spring Festival Gala?" ”

Li Xingruo replied without thinking: "Surely." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that his words were too big, and added: "If they don't think this song is good, it means that there is something wrong with their vision." But even if I can't do it, it's okay, I still love this song, and I'm going to record it and release it as a single when the time comes. ”

Zhang Songnian smiled and nodded.

If there are no accidents, there will definitely be no problem with this song on the Spring Festival Gala.

The soothing melody and intimate lyrics tell all kinds of stories in the passage of time, and the lyrics pierce the heart, expressing the love of parents in a simple and touching way.

And the day of the Spring Festival Gala is the moment when the people of the country are homesick and have the strongest family affection, and theoretically this song is a perfect fit for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

When this song was on earth, it became popular through the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

The lyrics of the song "Where Has Time Gone" are sincere and plain, and it is easy to resonate and tear up the audience.

What's more interesting is that after this song was performed by singer Wang Zhengliang on the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Horse, it not only touched thousands of netizens, but also poked the tears of a criminal suspect who had absconded for more than three years.

The degree of heart-piercing of this song can be imagined.

Zhang Songnian smiled, pulled Li Xingruo to sit down in front of the piano, then looked for the recording equipment, and said: "Don't worry, let's record a simple demo first, and then send it to the director team of the Spring Festival Gala after recording." ”

Li Xingruo glanced at Zhang Songnian and nodded: "Well, you can come to accompani." ”

Zhang Songnian immediately turned on the recording equipment, and then began to play the piano to accompany Li Xingruo.

With the soothing piano accompaniment, Li Xingruo sang word by word with the score in his hand: "The old tree in front of the door grows new teeth, the dead wood in the yard blooms again, and there are a lot of words that have survived, and I have hidden a lot of white hair, the little feet in my memory, and the fleshy little mouth, I will give him love all my life, just for that sentence ...... my parents."

Maybe it's because of the first time I sang this song, when I recorded it for the first time, Li Xingruo always felt that the mood was not in place, so I recorded it again.

After recording several times, Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian stopped recording.

"This song looks like it's easy to sing, but it's hard to sing well." While listening to the demo he had just recorded, Li Xingruo said.

Zhang Songnian nodded thoughtfully, this song seems to be really easy to sing, but it is very difficult to really express the emotions in the lyrics.

Rao is a singer with a strong ability to empathize with Li Xingruo's feelings, and he is only satisfied after recording several times.

After listening to a demo, Zhang Songnian clapped his hands and said: "There should be no problem, send this demo to Sister Lan, and then let Sister Lan communicate with the Spring Festival Gala program team." ”

"Uh-huh." Li Xingruo nodded, and then sent the audio file he had just recorded to Zhang Lan, and after telling him about the matter, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Songnian.

Zhang Songnian found that Li Xingruo had been staring at him, and asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong?" Why are you staring at me all the time? ”

Li Xingruo stepped forward and took the initiative to hug Zhang Songnian, and then said softly: "Every time there is a problem, you stand up and help me solve it, thank you." You seem to be a gift from God. ”

Zhang Songnian shook his head with a smile, hugged Li Xingruo with his backhand and said, "We are husband and wife, so we won't say thank you." ”

Li Xingruo pursed her lips and shook her head stubbornly.

Zhang Songnian looked at Li Xingruo helplessly, and simply said: "Okay, how do you plan to thank me, you can't just talk, let's take some practical action?" ”

Li Xingruo was stunned for a moment, as if he had gone through some inner battle between heaven and man, and then glanced at Zhang Songnian imperceptibly.

After making up his mind, Li Xingruo took the initiative to put his red lips towards Zhang Songnian.

Zhang Songnian was originally just joking, wanting to tease Li Xingruo.

It's just that he never expected that this woman would come to the real thing.

Not to be outdone, Zhang Songnian hugged Li Xingruo, and the two began a fierce war of words.

A few minutes later, the battle escalated, and Li Xingruo lowered his head with a blush and rested on Zhang Songnian's shoulder.

In the end, Zhang Songnian's eyes were like silk, and he exhaled like an orchid and said: "Let's go back to the room........"

-----------------

As the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala program group, Zhang Daguan has been under tremendous pressure since the beginning of the next burden.

The reputation of the Spring Festival Gala has begun to have a big word-of-mouth gap in the hearts of the people in the past few years, and the reason for this downward trend is nothing more than that the quality of the programs of the Spring Festival Gala is obviously inferior to the past.

The audience knows this, and he knows it, but if you really want to solve this problem, it's actually quite difficult.

Since taking over the work of director of the Spring Festival Gala program group in July, Zhang Daguan has been anxious.

This is the first time he has guided the Spring Festival Gala, and what he wants to do is to redeem the declining reputation of the Spring Festival Gala.

This may seem easy, but it's actually really hard to do.

Zhang Daguan himself knows very well in his heart that it is difficult to ensure mainstream values while bringing pleasure to the audience.

Therefore, Zhang Daguan has made a strict screening in this year's program group screening.

At present, except for singing programs, he has almost screened other programs.

And the singing program gave him a headache because the program submitted this year did not make him feel the stage in front of him.

The female singer named Li Xingruo sang "As You Wish" can be regarded as half a song, because Li Xingruo's singing skills are very good and her timbre is also very good.

In fact, the song itself is also very good, which is very in line with the purpose of promoting positive energy in the Spring Festival Gala.

But the problem is that the song "As Wished" exploded last year, and he has heard this song many times, and he can't hear the freshness at all.

After weighing it for a long time, Zhang Daguan still feels that the song "As Wished" is still not suitable for solo singing on stage at this year's Spring Festival Gala.

There are very few solo programs in the Spring Festival Gala, and if you sing a song that everyone has heard, it will not have any effect on the reputation of the Spring Festival Gala.

But Li Xingruo, a singer, is indeed very powerful, and after thinking about it, Zhang Daguan still thinks that he hopes that Li Xingruo can come up with a song that can make people shine.

If it doesn't work, I can only ask for help from the old-timers in the music world to go out and sing a classic golden song to stabilize the scene.

It's also okay to play with feelings on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but this is nothing more than falling behind.

If he can, Zhang Daguan still hopes that Li Xingruo can come up with a satisfactory song.

After all, if Li Xing has a gold medal songwriter like Zhang Songnian, Zhang Daguan actually made the decision with the mentality of giving it a go.

While thinking, there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Daguan shouted to please come in.

It was the assistant of the program team who came in and asked Zhang Daguan: "Director, Li Xingruo's agent has sent the new song demo and lyrics, I have sent it to your mailbox, do you want to take a look here?" ”

"Oh? So fast? Zhang Daguan was very surprised and muttered to himself.

If I'm not mistaken, the decision and notification for Li Xingruo to change the song was yesterday, and then this morning.

As a result, it was less than ten o'clock in the evening, and Li Xingruo threw a new song over there, and the speed was fast enough.

Zhang Daguan immediately turned on the computer, found the location of the mailbox, and first carefully looked at the information of this song.

After the lyrics column above wrote the three words Zhang Songnian, Zhang Daguan smiled, and it was really similar to what he expected.

Then Zhang Daguan's gaze moved down and began to browse the lyrics of the song.

Zhang Daguan first glanced at it roughly, and then carefully read the lyrics of the whole song word by word.

"This lyric is so well written, it deserves to be the hottest songwriter in the past year." After Zhang Daguan sighed, he opened the attached audio file by the way.

The lyrics had been written so well, he wanted to see if the melody of the song could be as good as the lyrics.
