Chapter 18: Astonishing

Views:

I’m so full.

Lin Yuan was very satisfied.

When he was about to go back to work, Lao Zhou, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly said, "I have good news for you. I plan to send your song to Qizhou!"

"good."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Old Zhou thought Lin Yuan would be excited.

But to his disappointment, Lin Yuan's expression did not change much, and his tone was as calm as ever.

At this moment, Lao Zhou understood what Zhao Jue had felt before.

He was a little unwilling: "Um... don't you have anything to say?"

"have."

Lin Yuan said seriously: "I also played the piano part in the arrangement of "Big Fish", so I hope the company can include this part of the remuneration in my calculation."

ha

That’s it

Lao Zhou was stunned for a few seconds before nodding his agreement, and sent "Big Fish" which had passed the company's review to Qizhou that afternoon.

Qizhou.

In a meeting room of the post-production department of the animated film "Dancing Fish and Dragon", female director Zheng Li was knocking on the table lightly: "Our movie will be released soon. How long will it take to finalize the impression song?"

"Director Zheng."

The producer shook his head and said, "You can't blame me for this. Xingmang Entertainment in Qinzhou sent a total of 14 impression songs to me. They were all works by gold medal composers, but you didn't like any of them."

"no."

Zheng Li said dissatisfiedly: "You should know what kind of story "Dragon Dance" is. It is also true that the music they gave does not fit the story. Do you think I am too demanding?"

Everyone coughed and looked away.

Zheng Li got angry all of a sudden. It turned out that these people really thought that my requirements were too strict!

She said angrily, "Okay, since everyone feels this way, I won't have the final say. After all, we are all the main creators of the film. From now on, it's up to you all to decide which song to use. Producer, please take the trouble to play the previous 14 songs. If you think any of them can be used as our impression song, I have nothing to say."

“Not really.”

The producer laughed, "The impression song is too important to the work. You, the director, have the final say. If I push you again... Eh?"

The producer was stunned.

Zheng Li asked, "What's wrong?"

The producer glanced at the inbox on his phone and said with a wry smile, "Don't rush. They sent another song. Director, please listen to it later."

"Look back?"

Zheng Li sneered, "Don't look back! Right now! While the main creators are here, play the song right away. I want to see if you are satisfied with it! I also want you to think carefully about whether my requirements are too high."

The producer whispered, "Isn't that inappropriate?"

Zheng Li said loudly: "There's nothing inappropriate."

The producer had no choice but to turn on the projector, then turned on several speakers in the conference room and played the song he had just received.

The projector is for viewing the lyrics.

Whether you are satisfied with the song or not is one thing, but as for the various supporting services such as the lyrics, Xingmang still provides good service.

The music starts.

Amid the beautiful melody, an ethereal voice sounded:

"The waves silently drown the night

Over the corner at the end of the sky

The big fish swam through the cracks in the dream

Staring at your sleeping silhouette..."

As the music played, everyone looked at Zheng Li with strange eyes.

Zheng Li moved uncomfortably, but couldn't help but prick up her ears, her heart rippling slightly.

This song seems to be different from the one sent before

Is it such a coincidence

"Seeing the sea and sky merge into one

Listen to the wind and rain

Holding your hand, blowing away the vast smoke

The wings of the big fish are already too vast

I loosen the ropes of time..."

The singing continued, but when the verse transitioned to the chorus, everyone had forgotten to look at the director.

Director Zheng Li didn't care about the face-slapping scene. She was waiting anxiously for the chorus:

"I'm afraid you'll fly away

I'm afraid you'll leave me

I'm afraid you'll stay here forever.

Every tear falls on you

Flowing back into the seabed of the sky

… ”

When the fish jumped over the dragon gate, he was dressed in white, but he could never see the little girl again.

"If you hadn't crossed that dragon gate, you could have stayed with me forever."

"But if you don't work hard to get over the dragon gate, how can I protect you?"

"It turns out that reunion is the beginning of the end."

When the song was playing, the story script of "Dragon Dance of Fish" appeared in Zheng Li's mind, and several movie scenes that she had personally set vaguely emerged before her eyes.

Her eyes actually turned slightly red.

At this moment, the piano paused and a whistle suddenly sounded!

Just like the sound of a dolphin, clear and penetrating.

Everyone present seemed to have forgotten to breathe at this moment.

Being in the middle of it.

They seemed to feel the vastness of the ocean, the azure blue of the sky above the sea, and the powerful impact of the waves...

When the song ends.

Everyone sat in their chairs, lost in thought.

It was a long time later.

The producer murmured, "So... only Qinzhou... is the hometown of music on our Blue Star... This song is amazing..."

"What's the song called?"

Everyone came to their senses and started talking.

The producer said, "The song is called 'Big Fish'."

Everyone was relieved but also had some doubts: "Fish? How about changing the name of the song? Although our movie is called "Dance of the Fish and Dragon", it is actually about the story of a little girl and a white dragon..."

“No need to change it.”

Zheng Li stood up and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I am the director! I have the final say!"

Everyone looked at her: "..."

Zheng Li gritted her teeth and said, "Don't look at me like that! It's not that I have high standards! The first fourteen songs are really not good enough!"

Everyone laughed.

But everyone must believe this. No matter how good the first fourteen songs are, they can't be better than "Big Fish". It's just that it's really funny to see the director's frustrated look.

"So is this one okay?"

The producer looked sarcastic.

Zheng Li said unhappily, "If this song doesn't work, can you find me a better song? Do you have the budget to hire a composer? Besides, even if composer Qu did it, it would definitely not be able to surpass this level, because this composer..."

"Envy the fish."

The producer glanced at the composer.

Zheng Li nodded: "This composer named Xianyu is a kindred spirit of our film. He must understand the feelings I want to express!"

This is the impression song that the company bought for five million.

According to industry rules, the "Dragon Dance of Fish" production team can change the song titles, lyrics and music arrangements of the purchased works, and even have the right to replace the singers and re-record the performances. These are the rights that the film production team should have. Even Xingmang will not have any opinions, and at most will only give some tentative suggestions.

But for Zheng Li...

This is Big Fish at its best!

It’s so good that Zheng Li doesn’t want to make any changes to the song, including the singer, the arrangement, the lyrics, and the song title “Big Fish” which someone just proposed to change!

"Maybe it's because the first impression was too good?"

Zheng Li thought silently. The goose bumps she had gotten all over her body while listening to the song had not yet gone away.

But the reason is no longer important.

In her opinion, the impression song "Big Fish" is perfect and a perfect match for her upcoming movie.

Qinzhou music circle.

There is indeed a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

She remembered the envy of the fish.
