Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 189 "Xintianyou"

"Mr. Yu, I don't have many scenes. I'll be back by the time you get to the set, but I see your guidance, it's much better than before!" Ye Xiaomin quickly added.

"The martial arts scenes in that TV series are so beautiful!" Zhang Longwen interjected: "Later, I heard that Xiao Min said that Mr. Yu was directed by you, Mr. Yu, so you might as well make a martial arts drama by yourself. The martial arts moves are so chic and beautiful. invest!"

At the end, Zhang Longwen looked excited.

Looks like a martial arts fan.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your support." Yu Dongqing smiled and said, "Let's talk about this movie."

Talking about this topic, Zhang Longwen restrained his smile and looked a little arrogant: "Needless to say Xiao Min's acting skills, I didn't know Xiao Min when Lu Yongru filmed this "Martial Arts Hero", otherwise, I would tell Director Lu Say, at least let her act as the second female lead?"

This cowhide blows.
However, Yu Dongqing didn't want to argue with him on this issue, so she thought for a while and said, "Ye Xiaomin, the number one female candidate must be sure, and it's really difficult to change, but would you like to play the second female number? It's the role of Wei Lai? Your appearance and The temperament is very suitable for this rich girl."

"No, no, no!" Before Ye Xiaomin could answer, Zhang Longwen next to him refused straight away: "In the script, Wei Lai was beautiful and well-behaved on the surface, but he had a heart of snakes and scorpions, and ended up dying tragically. How could Xiaomin play such a role?!"

"Godfather, I want to act." Ye Xiaomin said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"I think the role of Wei Lai is also quite challenging. Since I can't play Chen Nian, let's play Wei Lai." Ye Xiaomin explained.

"Xiao Min, there's no need for us to hang ourselves from a tree, right? There are many movies to be made!" Zhang Longwen persuaded.

"But I really like this movie, and I think it will be a blockbuster in the future." Ye Xiaomin explained softly.

Seeing that his goddaughter was so stubborn, Zhang Longwen agreed, but he was still a little upset, and reduced the originally planned investment of 3000 million to 2000 million.

2000 million is not a lot. With this 2000 million, the bulk of the film budget will be obtained, and then find a way to find some, and the funding problem will be solved!

Everyone enjoyed the meal, Zhang Longwen was a good drinker, Li Wan and Yu Dongqing had to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman, and finally even Mingmei and Ye Xiaomin drank two cups, looking as gorgeous as peach blossoms.

It's just that, in the end, I couldn't drive, so I had to call a substitute driver.

Watching Zhang Longwen and Ye Xiaomin get into a black Bentley and drive away, Li Wan also staggered into his Audi, leaving Yu Dongqing and Mingmei behind.

"Brother-in-law, I think Ye Xiaomin is a nice person, Wen Wen is quietly like a lady, how could she find a godfather?" Mingmei asked suddenly.

"Didn't you hear that his godfather can invest in her? How many actors who have just debuted can get this treatment?" Yu Dongqing said lightly: "Okay, don't gossip anymore, just make your film well .”

"I know, it's just, hey." Mingmei sighed and didn't say anything more.

Mingmei continued to work on her filming career, and Yu Dongqing was free here.

However, there was one more thing he had to worry about.

That is, Zhang Bao has already passed the "Singing of the Stars" annual finals, and will soon participate in the annual finals of "Singing of the Stars".

Yu Dongqing didn't worry much about Zhang Bao's matter. The young man is also very good. He won the championship of the week, the champion of the month, and the championship of the year all the way. Now he will face the championship of the year.

The reason why Feng Pei called from Qin Bei the day before yesterday was for this purpose. He hoped that Zhang Bao's grades would be better. Even if he couldn't win the championship, he wouldn't be eliminated in the first round.

According to the rules of the "Starlight Singing" annual championship finals, there are two rounds. The top six will eliminate the last two, and the top four will advance to compete for the championship and runner-up.

Feng Pei meant that it would be best to enter the semi-finals.

Of course, Yu Dongqing also hopes, and hopes to go further, which involves the issue of song selection.

Zhang Bao has always chosen to sing Qinbei folk songs to pass the test, so will he sing a new song as his secret weapon in the finals?

Just like Han Chun in "Happy Girls", the song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" shocked everyone and successfully advanced.

But Zhang Bao sings the folk songs of northern Qin, and the songs he chooses cannot be completely out of this category, otherwise his characteristics will be lost.

Or, a gust of "northwest wind?"

At the end of the 80s in the original time and space, a large number of works emerged in the mainland music scene, and their styles were mostly based on the traditional culture of the inland northwest region, singing about the loess complex.

The influence of this "northwest wind" has lasted for about ten years. It expresses the heart, does not beat around the bush, has sincere emotions, and is easy to catch.It can be said that "Northwest Wind" combines the three styles of rock, ethnic and pop.

How about letting Zhang Bao try too?

Yu Dongqing sat in the study and seriously considered this issue.

He didn't tell Zhang Bao about it, he wanted to discuss it with Feng Pei, including the representative song of "Northwest Wind".

Is it appropriate for Zhang Bao to sing such a song in the final?
Yu Dongqing was a little undecided.

There was no hesitation. It was past ten o'clock that night. Yu Dongqing called Feng Pei and said that he had written a song and wanted him to check it out.

"No way? You're a big singer, and you still need me to check if your shots are high-quality goods?" On the phone, Feng Pei joked.

"This song is specially written for Zhang Bao." Yu Dongqing added.

Feng Pei immediately understood what he meant.

"Okay, let me listen."

"I haven't had time to compose the music yet, so I'll send the lyrics to your WeChat first." Yu Dongqing said.

Feng Pei does not go home until the weekend, not even to his hometown not far away, and lives in the dormitory assigned by the school.

There are quite a lot of students living in the school, and many of them are left-behind students. He is worried that something will happen at night.

After receiving the lyrics from Yu Dongqing, I didn't rush to read it, but took a flashlight and went around the campus, especially the boys' dormitory, to see if there were any mischievous ones, and those who didn't return home at night. I just went back to my dormitory.

Although teachers are assigned to patrol on duty every night, he still walks around by himself. He has persisted for several years and is used to it.

Qin Bei's winter is very cold, Feng Pei returned to the dormitory, took off his coat, warmed up the coal stove, and roasted his hands that were somewhat frozen, then took out his mobile phone and looked carefully.

The name of the song is "Xintianyou"

I bow my head to the ravine
chasing the passing years
The wind and sand are all over the valley

miss my childhood
Feng Pei looked at the score and hummed softly.

"Valley", "White Cloud", "Day Goose", "Little River" and "Shandandan".
These are typical scenery of northern Qin, and the tunes also have obvious flavor of folk songs of northern Qin.

But Feng Pei clearly felt that it was not purely the Xintianyou folk songs popular in the Qinbei area, but had been improved and integrated pop and rock elements.

It's just that such a song, can the audience accept it?Or do you prefer Zhang Bao to sing pure and natural folk songs?
Is this risk worth taking?
It was obvious that Yu Dongqing hadn't made a complete decision, so she asked herself to be a staff officer.

Feng Pei was not in a hurry to answer Yu Dongqing, but lit a cigarette and hummed the song repeatedly while smoking.

wild geese have heard my song

Xiaohe kissed my face

Shandandan flowers bloom and fall

again and again

Feng Pei suddenly had an idea, how about finding a class with music lessons tomorrow and singing it to the children to see if they like it? !
"Principal Feng is personally leading the music class." The students in class one of the second year of junior high school suddenly heard the news, and the class immediately exploded.

"Principal Feng can still sing?"

"Shouldn't it be "Guerrilla Song" and "Surprise Soldiers Crossing the Chishui" again?" A chubby boy said while sitting on the desk.

Another girl with short hair retorted immediately:
"No! I heard from the music teacher that it's a new song, and it's a popular song!"

pop song?

The students really couldn't imagine what it would be like for the principal with a serious face to sing pop songs.

Soon, the class bell rang, and Feng Pei, who was wearing glasses, hurried into the classroom, and the class suddenly fell silent.

"stand up!"

After the teachers and students greeted each other, Feng Pei didn't say much. He walked to a pedal organ next to the podium, sat down and opened the cover, and turned to the students and said.

"Students, I'm singing a new song today. I don't ask everyone to learn it, but let you listen to it. Is this song good?"

"Okay!" The whole class said in unison.

Feng Pei looked at the music score and began to sing while playing.

Wow.
Principal Feng can play the piano!

And really sing!
Why does this song sound weird?

It's a bit like Xintianyou sung by my hometown, but it's also like a popular song on the Internet?

But it does sound good!

After Feng Pei finished singing, warm applause broke out in the classroom.

"Principal Feng, sing it again!"

"Principal, we also want to learn"

A smile appeared on Feng Pei's face, and he sang again.

After lunch, Feng Pei called Yu Dongqing and told him about playing and singing this song for the children in the morning, saying that the children liked to listen to it.

"Then I will let Zhang Bao sing this song in the final!" Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

In the original time and space, the song "Xintianyou" was written by Liu Zhiwen and Hou Dejian, composed by Xie Chengqiang, and sung by Cheng Lin.

Later, many people covered it, such as Li Lingyu, Zhuo Yiting, etc., but Chen Lin's singing is the most classic.

Oh, and she also sang a song "Little Conch", which made her popular all over Yanjing City quickly, and became the youngest first-generation singer in the Chinese music scene. It is said that she was only 13 years old at the time.

Since Feng Pei also agreed, Yu Dongqing no longer hesitated, and immediately started to arrange the music, and then drove to Liu Yimin's Shili Peach Blossom Tavern, found Zhang Bao, and handed him the USB flash drive.

"Zhang Bao, will you sing this song in the finals? Your teacher thought it was good after listening to it." Yu Dongqing said.

Zhang Bao didn't hesitate, and directly inserted the U disk into his tape recorder, and suddenly there was a loud suona sound, and Yu Dongqing's voice came from inside.

It turned out to be a new song!

Zhang Bao looked at Yu Dongqing in surprise and joy.

"There are also accompaniment demos and lyrics in the U disk, you follow along and study hard."

"Zhang Bao, you have a lot of face. So many big singers asked Mr. Yu to write a song, but he refused, so he wrote it for you." Liu Yimin next to him joked.

"Thank you Teacher Yu, I will definitely study hard!" Zhang Bao was full of confidence.

　Thanks to Xicheng Xuejiro for the reward, and thanks to Jiang Zhiniao and others for the monthly pass
