Chapter 120 He Goes To The Piano
Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The nanny car was parked in front of a building.
Yu Xiao took back his laptop and said, "I know you have many ideas in your mind, but you don't have to worry. When you meet Wu Sheng later, you can communicate with others and try to express your thoughts on the theme song of this film."
He Xiao nodded. Although it was the first time he met this famous director, he really didn't feel nervous. Maybe it was because of different circles. One was a movie shooter and the other was a little far behind.
So he has a very stable mentality.
In fact, Wu Sheng had already found many professional musicians to help create theme songs before this. There were not only high-quality ones, but he is a Virgo, and he doesn't have any dissatisfaction, so he feels awkward.
As a result, the post-production of the movie has been basically improved, and the publicity work is ready to go, and only the theme song has not been settled for a long time.
The theme song must be inserted into the film, and it is played at the climax of the plot, so it is crucial.
It was also at this time that Yu Xiao took the opportunity to take the Wu Sheng line and recommended He Xiao over.
He Xiao is original, and he is good at writing songs and arrangements, so Yu Xiao thought to ask him to give it a try. If he is really chosen, he will enter the theater in an alternative way.
After all, no matter what, it is a movie that competes for the Spring Festival. With the popularity brought by the movie, it is enough to make this song popular.
The elevator finally stopped on the 11th floor. The two walked into a very large recording studio. There was a singing room in the inner room, and three people sat on the sofa outside.
In the middle of the sofa, there was a man in his forties or fifties, wearing a black sweater. His bare head looked like a braised egg, shiny.
This is the famous domestic first-line director Wu Sheng. He Xiao has seen his photos online, but compared with himself, the difference is not much.
The one who sang in the inner room was a second-tier singer. She debuted two years earlier than He Xiao. She was very popular for a while and was a regular on the music chart. However, as the popularity gradually faded, her popularity dropped a lot.
The remaining two people, He Xiao, don't know each other anymore. They are probably producers or music producers of Wu Sheng's crew.
The two of them did not cause much noise. They were both listening to the singing of the male singer in the inner room.
"Director Wu!"
Yu Xiao lowered his volume and greeted him, stretched out his hands and walked quickly towards Wu Sheng.
"Um."
Wu Sheng sat on the sofa without moving, reached out and grabbed Yu Xiao briefly, but did not get up to greet him.
If it were someone else, Yu Xiao would have been disgraced. He would have been a well-known figure in the circle. Few people dared to despise him so much, but if this person was Wu Sheng... he wouldn't be angry.
The status gap between the two is a bit huge. They are famous domestic directors and are a small group of people standing at the top of the entertainment industry. There is no need to do this with his agent.
"Director Wu, this is what I mentioned to you. I have always been in the original style and are good at many kinds of music styles." Yu Xiao gave up his position and introduced He Xiao, and He Xiao also greeted Wu Sheng.
"It turns out that a hero is a young man. You can sign Le Jia at this age, and your future is promising." Wu Sheng pointed to the sofa and asked them to sit down and said.
His words were purely polite words and were too perfunctory. It was estimated that eight out of ten people would say this to them.
In fact, before Wu Shengyuxiao came over, he had never heard of He Xiao's name.
Even the information was only viewed on the Internet this morning. When he saw the amateur who wrote "The Most Amazing Mentor of "The Voice of Dreams", "The Miracle Creator of the Peak Concert", and "Won the Best Original Singer Award", he became interested.
He listened roughly to He Xiao's songs. Although he didn't understand music, he could also hear the quality of a song, and there were still basic differences, so he didn't really believe that these songs were really written by one person alone.
If these songs were not operated by the behind-the-scenes team and were really created by him alone, it would be a bit scary.
Wu Sheng believed that there were geniuses in this world, but he did not believe that he would meet in his life, so he decided to take a look at what He Xiao was like in person.
This is where He Xiao was able to face this famous director today.
In the inner room, the male singer finished singing, took off his headset and walked out.
He was one of the several singers who was invited by Wu Sheng to sing, but the song he sang at that time did not win Wu Sheng's love, so he failed to cooperate.
After returning, he was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so he revised the arrangement and found Wu Sheng again.
When He Xiao and Yu Xiao came in just now, he saw it through the glass window and immediately realized that it was his competitor coming, and his palms couldn't help but feel a little sweaty.
After walking out at this time, he greeted He Xiao perfunctorily and sat on the other end of the sofa.
"What do you think of his song?"
Wu Sheng did not comment first, but instead kicked the ball to He Xiao. He wanted to hear what this amateur who became famous all over the country overnight has.
When He Xiao saw this attitude, he knew that Wu Sheng was testing himself. In addition, he was in a competitive relationship with the male singer, so he could no longer speak politely at this time. After pondering for a while, he said:
"I think Brother Nan's song is really good overall. It is already a top-notch masterpiece in the industry. It will definitely be a big hit as a single, but... if it is placed in this movie as an interlude, it seems too tension and too exciting."
Brother Nan is the male singer, and his full name is Shao Henan, but it is said that this is the stage name and the real name is no longer verified.
Hearing this comment, Shao Henan frowned.
He is He Xiao’s senior. Not to mention the entertainment industry that emphasizes seniority, it is even in any industry that the current generation will feel uncomfortable when they hear newcomers denying their works.
He said with a breath: "Then what kind of work is suitable for director Wu to score?"
He Xiao noticed some of Shao Henan's small moves and knew that he was uncomfortable. However, now the two sides are in a competitive relationship, and everyone wants to be qualified to sing the theme song for Wu Sheng's movie. You can't dare not speak just because the other party is a senior, right?
"It's okay, you can say whatever you want. Everyone is from the circle. I don't care about musical opinions."
Yu Xiao spoke at this time, as if he was comforting He Xiao, but in fact he said it to Shao Henan.
In the music circle, Yu Xiao is still quite prestigious, and Shao Henan is not a Le Jia artist, so it doesn't matter if he offends him because of competing for the qualification of this soundtrack.
With Le Jia, the giant who supports He Xiao, Shao Henan has no place to exert his anger.
"The soundtrack of the film must be determined based on the style of the movie. Although I only watched the trailer for Director Wu's movie, based on the shooting techniques of Director Wu's previous works and the cold color filters used in the trailer, I can probably understand the meaning of Director Wu's desire to express in the film."
"It is a kind of helplessness that cannot be loved, and it is also a kind of free and easy life after not seeing each other for many years. It is not the heart-wrenching after falling in love. It is only plain and simple to let things go. That's why I said that the songs that are too passionate are not suitable for the style of this film."
He Xiao had watched other movies by Wu Sheng before. Combined with the trailer I just saw, He Xiao probably guessed the general idea of this story, and there were many similar bloody movies on the black phone.
As soon as he said this, the people present were a little quiet. Wu Sheng looked at him in surprise. This comment was indeed a bit like his heart.
Shao Henan pinched his palm. He prepared for the theme song of this movie for a long time. Even after being rejected for the first time, he was unwilling to rewrite the lyrics and arrange them and found Wu Sheng again, because he knew in his heart that the opportunity was obtained by himself and would never fall from the sky.
If all hope is given up only once and all hope is abandoned, it is destined not to succeed.
So when he showed his songs to Wu Sheng again, he added a lot of gorgeous skills to show his solid singing skills. It was not until he heard He Xiao’s comments that he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been ignoring the tone of the movie itself.
But who would like to admit such a thing? He is not a fool.
After looking at He Xiao, who was coming with bare hands, Shao Henan narrowed his eyes and said, "Everyone can talk about war on paper, but music must be based on works. I changed the manuscript twice for this movie, but what about you? I'm afraid I'm not even preparing for a demo. Just talking about your work, are you talking about your work?"
Shao Henan was unwilling to give up this opportunity. His biggest advantage now is that He Xiao was meeting Wu Sheng for the first time, and he had not created even a note for this movie, but he had truly produced the finished product.
Yu Xiao's face sank. This line was only caught yesterday. Not to mention the in a hurry, even the trailer was just watched. How could he have inspired to create a demo so quickly? Shao Henan was deliberately making things difficult for him, so smile.
He looked at Wu Sheng. Wu Sheng was a sensible person. He knew what anyone thought in his heart. But strangely, he did not speak out for a rescue at this time, and seemed to want to see how real the legendary amateur who sang thirteen original songs in succession had.
If it is really as talented as the report says, I believe the performance on the spot will not be much worse.
He Xiao took everyone's reactions one by one, knowing that if you don't show some real skills today, you will be unable to stop the situation.
Say I don't have any sample?
Sorry, as a man who has mastered the wealth of a world, he doesn't need a small example at all.
He Xiao sat upright, his eyes swept in the recording studio, and finally frozen on a black piano that was reflected by the floor by the wall, and got up and walked over.
Chapter completed!
