Chapter 203: A New Beginning
The later stages of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Soldier Assault" were both done here in the capital.
After Xu Chuan finished the work, he did not rest, and immediately devoted himself to the work here.
At this point in time, perhaps only work can make Xu Chuan think less about things.
It's like Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng have been traveling outside.
Speaking of which, most of the post-production work of "Soldier Assault" has actually been done.
What Xu Chuan has to do now is to review the film and discuss the announcement with the people on CCTV.
As I said before, "Soldier Assault" was originally scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV on August 1, and the reason for picking this day must not be explained too much.
According to the plan, CCTV will premiere the first episode from August 1, that is, Thursday.
In the future, except for Saturdays, one episode will be broadcast every day from Sunday to Friday.
"Soldier Assault" has a total of 30 episodes, and according to this number, CCTV will finish broadcasting on September 4.
At the same time, this drama will be launched simultaneously on Tengshi on August 1.
Unlike CCTV, Tengshi premiered 4 episodes, and members had one episode a day from Sunday to Friday, and Tengshi will update the finale on September 1, three days earlier than CCTV.
To be honest, Xu Chuan is still a little worried about the previous reviews of "Soldier Assault".
This drama is on Earth and was broadcast in 06.
At that time, such good results were achieved, in addition to the excellent quality of the drama itself.
Another aspect is that the main form of entertainment for the public at that time was watching television.
Live TV can't be fast-forwarded, so everyone's patience with film and television works at that time was much higher than that of people now.
Now it is the norm for everyone to watch dramas at double speed, and the plot of the new drama is not compact, and it is also an objective fact that patience is reduced.
Especially after the development of short videos, the audience's patience has been further reduced.
In this environment, Xu Sanduo's appearance of those angry people at the beginning may really be complained that it is a "spicy eye drama"
Moreover, those who hold a grudge against Xu Chuan will definitely find a way to blacken "Soldier Assault" into a "spicy eye drama"
In fact, when Xu Chuan was watching the drama back then, he also thought about it, is there really a person like Xu Sanduo? Not to mention anything else, he couldn't even turn left and right.
However, when he went to high school and participated in the first military training in his life, he realized that there were such players in this world.
When it comes to military training in college, there will be more of it.
But then again, a good drama is a good drama, and it's useless to rely on some people to hack it into a "spicy eye drama".
Xu Sanduo in the early stage of "Soldier Assault" is a bit "eyeless".
But when Xu Chuan looked back at this drama many years later, he found that the most exciting thing about this drama was precisely the days when Xu Sanduo slowly progressed from "no eyes" and always adhered to it.
When he really became the king of soldiers, he didn't look as good as before.
Of course, Xu Chuan thinks that the really good-looking point of "Soldier Assault" is because every character in it is very vivid.
No matter how big or small the character is, no matter how long or short the appearance is, it is very vivid.
Even Xu Sanduo's eldest brother, who has little time to play, has several classic scenes, which make people laugh and cry.
In the first episode, he asked Xu Sanduo to buy him a little yellow book, which was funny and real.
Later, Xu Sanduo had an accident with explosives hidden at home, and Xu Sanduo solved these things and stepped on the train back to the army.
The scene of this eldest brother, who was hiding and didn't dare to come out, chased the train and shouted "The third child, live like a person" to Xu Sanduo on the train in a southern Henan dialect is also touching.
The reason why the audience can have these emotions is actually because this group of vivid and real characters has built a vivid and real in-play world.
This world immerses the audience in watching it, and instinctively follows the changes in the plot and produces emotional ups and downs.
is also participating in the selection of special forces, and we will be moved by the "no abandonment and no abandonment" between comrades in "Soldier Assault".
But the special forces selection plots in some military dramas, even if the background music is sensational, the slogans of those characters are shouted loudly.
In the eyes of the audience, this plot is still like a joke.
This is the difference between a good drama and a bad drama.
At present, Xu Chuan feels that the character creation of his version of "Soldier Assault" is not bad.
Therefore, although he is a little worried about the audience of 19 years, he may not be able to accept Xu Sanduo's stupidity for a while.
But he believes that after everyone watches it, it should have the same feeling as when he watched "Soldier Assault".
This drama has a lot of stamina.
In the following days, Xu Chuan was busy in the post-production work of the two dramas on the one hand, and on the other hand, he would also find time to go to Shen Huajin and Zhu Lanyun to attend classes.
On the morning of June 10, Xu Chuan came to Shen Huajin's house again, Zhu Lanyun went out for something, and Shen Ping'an was at school.
Therefore, there are only two people in the family, Shen Huajin and Xu Chuan.
"Is there anything that needs to be changed to the soundtrack of "Soldier Assault"?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan hurriedly exclaimed: "There's nothing to change, it's very good, or to say that the master is the master, this soundtrack makes it, I just can't catch up with it for a lifetime." ”
"What are you talking about? You are my apprentice, I am teaching this kind of things, if you can't catch up with it all your life, then it's not that I, the master, have mistaken people's children. When Shen Huajin heard Xu Chuan's words, he immediately smiled and quipped.
"You finally found that there is a problem with your teaching method, you see that Teacher Zhu teaches very well, and she never scolds me at the old man, do you want to learn it." Shen Huajin teased Xu Chuan, and Xu Chuan naturally drove back jokingly.
"Hahahaha." When Shen Huajin heard Xu Chuan's words, he immediately laughed.
He likes Xu Chuan to joke with him, and the teacher is uncomfortable holding each other.
Moreover, most of the soundtracks of "Soldier Assault" are provided by Xu Chuan with long or short main themes, and Shen Huajin only relies on these melodies provided by Xu Chuan to expand.
So, just now the two were joking from the beginning.
After laughing for a while, Xu Chuan spoke, "Master, in a few days it will be your 75th birthday." Let's really just have a meal at home? Why don't you call your relatives and friends to set up a few tables for a lively and lively scene? ”
"Forget it, I don't like this, no matter how many people shout, it's not as good as our family to sit down and have a meal." When Shen Huajin heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said.
After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said to Xu Chuan: "By the way, you can call Lin Mengying's child over then." ”
Influenced by Shen Ping'an, Shen Huajin always thought that Xu Chuan was in love with Lin Mengying.
As for Qiu Yicheng's side, Shen Huajin didn't know very well.
Xu Chuan and Lin Mengying have not been in contact for more than a month, and now when they heard Shen Huajin suddenly mention her, Xu Chuan's heart suddenly became a little flustered.
I saw him pretend to be natural and shook his head at Shen Huajin and said, "She, she can't come, she should take pictures of her travels in Xinyu now." ”
Although Xu Chuan pretended to be very natural, Shen Huajin still keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xu Chuan.
So, he tentatively asked, "Are you two okay?" There is no conflict, right? ”
"No, don't worry."
"Oh, that's it, then next time she comes back, remember to bring her to the house to play. You and Master Zhu haven't seen this girl yet. You kid looks romantic, and I don't know if you're usually good to people. Shen Huajin instructed.
"You've wronged me, who looks good."
"You know whether you are wronged or not. Let me tell you, the youth is in love, you are now successful at a young age, and you are in the entertainment industry.
There are so many temptations to face that you must control yourself. Don't capsize in the gutter, you know. Shen Huajin had wanted to say these words to Xu Chuan for a long time, but he never found a chance.
Now the words are in a hurry, and they have finally spoken.
Xu Chuan didn't really want to talk about this topic, he wasn't someone who couldn't resist the temptation, otherwise his current private life would have been messed up.
Qiu Yicheng and Lin Mengying are indeed different.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan hurriedly responded: "Knowing Master, you have to have a little confidence in me." ”
"Either way, you can't go wrong with being careful." Shen Huajin was still a little worried.
When Xu Chuan heard this, he changed the subject and said, "Master, how did you write the song to celebrate the 70th anniversary?" ”
"Don't mention it, it's almost July, and there is still no song that satisfies me very much, and I think it's almost funny." Shen Huajin scratched his head when he mentioned this.
After scratching for a while, Shen Huajin got up and said, "It's just right, I'll show you what I wrote." ”
After speaking, he ran to the study and took out the manuscript he wrote to Xu Chuan.
His manuscript is not a piece of paper, but a notebook, in which dozens of pages are written, drawn, and painted, most of which are ideas and inspiration materials.
In addition to this, there are some semi-finished products.
There are only three songs that can really be called finished songs.
Xu Chuan took it and looked at it, and the first song was called "Change the Sky".
After studying for so long, he can already sight-sing.
So, after reading the lyrics and score a few times, he simply sang along with it sentence by sentence.
Seeing Xu Chuan singing, Shen Huajin also hummed along while beating the beat with his hands.
After singing the song, Shen Huajin shook his head and said: "It's not good, it's not good, I didn't think it was good, but after listening to you finish singing, I feel that it's too bad." ”
"Master, isn't that good? What's wrong? ”
Xu Chuan's words are not flattery, but he really thinks it's good, although there is still some distance from some classics. But it's much better than average.
"You'll see the next one." Shen Huajin did not answer Xu Chuan's question, but asked Xu Chuan to take a look at the next song.
Xu Chuan flipped through it again when he heard this, this song is called "Hymn to Take-off".
Judging from the content of the lyrics, the content expressed in this song and the previous song "Change the World" is actually similar.
They are all celebrating the achievements of the country over the past 70 years.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan finally understood why Shen Huajin always felt dissatisfied.
Because the lyrics of these two songs are trying to sum up the achievements of these 70 years.
But the problem is that in the past 70 years, the country has made too much progress and achieved too much. What is the best way to write a song?
I can't finish writing and I have to write, and the lyrics immediately become big and empty.
How do you describe that feeling?
It's like Xu Chuan was watching the dubbing of the men's basketball training spoof on the Internet at the time.
That quote goes something like this: "The imperative now is to find the key question, so what is the key question?" It's the key to finding the problem!
If we can't solve and find the key problem, then we can't solve the crux of the problem. ”
Of course, Shen Huajin's lyrics are not written with this virtue, but it is inevitable that there is a little bit of this feeling.
This point is very inconsistent with Shen Huajin's preferences.
He has always emphasized to Xu Chuan that this kind of big and empty lyrics will not have any vitality and continuity.
It may have looked good at the time, but when I looked at it again, it was hypocritical and boring.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan turned the manuscript to the end again.
The last song is called "Bless the Motherland", and the idea of this song is obviously different from the first two.
Naturally, it also celebrates 70 years of development. But I don't have the feeling of wanting to "summarize the actual results" like the first two songs.
It is more focused on the spiritual continuation of the nation and the blessing of the future of the motherland.
Society is changing with each passing day, and there is a big change in ten years.
However, the national spirit constituted by the beautiful virtues of "hard work, perseverance, fear of difficulties, courage to struggle, and love peace" in everyone's bones will always exist.
It will be better to praise this and bless the motherland in the future, and it is indeed much better than trying to summarize it earlier.
So, Xu Chuan sang this "Bless the Motherland" along with the score, and then turned his head to Shen Huajin and said, "Master, the last song is good, I think it's okay." ”
"The lyrics are passable, but the tune is not in place, and it doesn't feel catchy." Shen Huajin shook his head.
"Master, you are too demanding of yourself." Xu Chuan said to Shen Huajin helplessly. Just these three songs, I guess I may not write them in my lifetime.
"This year is the 70th anniversary, and I am 75 years old this year, although I was born before the founding of the People's Republic of China, I grew up after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The history of the country's development is also my personal growth history.
The country will have the next 70 years, the next 70 years, but I don't have it. So I have to come up with the best piece of music to celebrate the birthday of my motherland. ”
As soon as Shen Huajin's words came out, Xu Chuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he opened his mouth and said, "Master, your work is good enough, don't worry about it."
Besides, when we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2029, you will have to celebrate the motherland's birthday again. ”
"In 2029, it's not certain whether I can live until 2029." When Shen Huajin heard this, he said to Xu Chuan with a smile.
"Phew, bah, bah." When Xu Chuan heard this, he immediately snorted, "Master, you will only be 85 years old in 2029, what does it mean to be able to live to that time, don't say this in the future, how unlucky." ”
"What's so auspicious or unlucky, your master and I have been a member of the party for more than fifty years, but I don't believe in this kind of thing. Besides, since ancient times, no one has died, as long as they don't ......"
"Ouch, why are you talking about this, don't you say it, okay?" Seeing that Shen Huajin was going to continue, Xu Chuan hurriedly interrupted.
He really couldn't hear it.
The eternal separation between heaven and man is the biggest source of pain in Xu Chuan's heart.
The family on Earth will never be seen.
Lan Xing's family, Xu Chuan really wants to spend more time with them.
He is here, and the only people who can be called family are Shen Huajin, a family of three, as well as Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng.
Now, Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng seem to be gradually moving away from themselves.
Shen Huajin started to talk about "death" again.
This made Xu Chuan's mood terrible in an instant.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, don't talk about this, it's quite a big person, why are you still like a child." Shen Huajin saw that Xu Chuan's mood was lowered, and patted Xu Chuan's head with a smile.
After speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Chuan to reply, but continued: "You, are you busy with things in the late stage, can you take some time to come out and do something else?" ”
"What else?"
"You take this manuscript of mine, see if you can help me change it, my thinking seems to be solidified, people are old, a tendon, and they can't twist it." Shen Huajin said and patted Xu Chuan's head again.
"I'll do my best." Xu Chuan nodded when he heard this.
Then he opened Shen Huajin's manuscript again, and with his level, it was a joke to help Shen Huajin change his song.
However, the last song "Bless the Motherland" Xu Chuan felt that maybe it could really be changed.
Because of the lyrics of this song, Xu Chuan always felt a little familiar. It is quite close to the meaning of a classic among the classics on earth.
Of course, only the meaning of the lyrics is close, but the way the lyrics are written and the tune are still very different.
If you really want to change it, it's no different than rewriting a song.
If it is a rewritten song, is this song still Shen Huajin's work?
If the song is not counted, can Shen Huajin's wish to give gifts to the motherland still be fulfilled?
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan turned his head to Shen Huajin and said, "Master, I'm afraid that I will change a lot." ”
As soon as Xu Chuan's words came out, Shen Huajin immediately understood what he meant.
I saw him smile and said: "I just told you that young people are in the right place, do you know what the elderly want to quit?" ”
"The old man can quit it." Xu Chuan naturally knew about this thing.
"Yes, if the change is too big, then just sign your name and belong to your work." Shen Huajin said with a smile.
"No, Master, that's not what I meant, I don't care whose name it is." Xu Chuan hurriedly explained when he heard this.
"Eh, I don't care." Shen Huajin said with a laugh.
Subsequently, he continued: "Xiaochuan, I never wanted to prove how good I am at composing music and lyrics in this day.
For me, I just feel that there must be such an excellent song to celebrate the birthday of the motherland at this time. And I happen to have the ability to write songs, so I'm going to try to do it.
Now if you have the ability to do better than me, then I will only be happy. If there is anyone else who does a better job than us, that would be a great thing to be happy about.
It's never been who wrote the song, it's really important to have the song, you know what I mean?
I'm afraid, no matter how bad my writing is, it's good compared to others. I'm old, I'm not as good as I used to be in every way, and those who are in the prime of life should have been better than me. ”
Hearing Shen Huajin's words, Xu Chuan's eyes blinked a few times.
If these words came out of someone else's mouth, Xu Chuan would scoff at them, feeling that the other party was pretending to be forced at all.
But from Shen Huajin's mouth, Xu Chuan believed it.
The old man's feelings for his family and country are really not comparable to ordinary people, which may be related to his age, as he said, when he was 5 years old, the new Chinese country was established.
The earliest memory that most people can recall is when they were 4 to 5 years old.
It is equivalent to saying that his life was opened with Xinhuaguo.
Moreover, he also had two sons who sacrificed their lives.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan smiled at the old man and said, "I know, I'll change it out as soon as possible." ”
"Don't rush, take your time, work slowly, and do a good job in September. You're busy, too, don't fool around. Shen Huajin advised.
"No, don't worry, I'll come up with a song that satisfies you when the time comes." Xu Chuan said with a smile.
Since Shen Huajin was afraid that he would write too quickly and be fooled, Xu Chuan thought that he would simply bring the classics in his mind to Shen Huajin in September.
That song, he will definitely be satisfied.
"That's good, that's good." Hearing Xu Chuan say this, Shen Huajin was very happy.
Before he asked Xu Chuan to write, Xu Chuan always found excuses to excuse himself, but now he finally changed his words.
To be honest, Shen Huajin's confidence in Xu Chuan is more than Xu Chuan's confidence in himself.
Now that Xu Chuan said that he would write a poem that would come out satisfied, Shen Huajin thought that Xu Chuan would definitely be able to write it.
That's all there is to it.
After chatting about this, Shen Huajin began to tell Xu Chuan some music knowledge again.
Every time Xu Chuan came back, he would hurry up and give Xu Chuan a lesson, Xu Chuan was too busy, he was too old, and he couldn't do it if he didn't hurry up.
In this way, it was not until the evening that Xu Chuan left from Shen Huajin's side.
Although after coming back for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year, there is a bedroom in Xu Chuan's here.
But the later company is still a little far away from here, and for convenience, Xu Chuan still stayed in a nearby hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Xu Chuan lay on the bed and brushed Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng's dynamics as usual, wanting to see what they were doing recently.
It's a pity that there have been no updates to the social media accounts of the two people these days.
However, Xu Chuan is not worried about the safety of the two people, because the security of both of them is found by him, and in all aspects, the two are still relatively reliable.
Moreover, if Xu Chuan is really not at ease, ask them about Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng's situation, and they will tell Xu Chuan truthfully.
It's just that Xu Chuan has never done this, because this will develop the habit of spying on Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng.
In fact, Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng also knew that these two security guards would listen to Xu Chuan's words.
But they didn't dismiss the two security guards.
On the contrary, I specially brought these two with me when I traveled.
This is the reason why Xu Chuan can endure it and not go to them, because there is still a thread between the three of them.
Actually, there is more than one.
Hills and rivers, the company invested by the three people, is another line.
These threads continue, and it is impossible for the three of them to really break off the relationship so easily.
Now it seems that Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng did not think about cutting these lines.
Whether it will be cut in the future, no one knows this.
We all need time to think about what to do next.
It is more necessary to think about how to deal with the relationship and positioning of each other.
If you figure it out, you will have a new beginning.
This new beginning, maybe it's good, it may be bad.
Thank you for the tip
