1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 10 Create another masterpiece, this song is awesome!

After the script of "Sunny Days" was completed, Jiang Wen specifically wrote Liu Xiaoqing's name in the screenwriter column, but Liu Xiaoqing rejected him flatly: "Whoever wrote it is the one who wrote it. I never take credit for my own merit."

.”

Jiang Wen said embarrassedly: "Although the heroine is written in your mold, I'm afraid you can't play it."

Liu Xiaoqing replied directly: "What does it matter? I am here for your success, not for my own acting!"

Behind a successful man, there really needs to be a great woman.

To Jiang Wen, Liu Xiaoqing is such a woman.

Just like Li Tianran in the later movie "The Righteous One", Li Tianran has been looking for various reasons to avoid revenge: "waiting for the opportunity", "revenge will only be happy if two people are brought together"

As a result, Guan Qiaohong, played by Zhou Yun, asked back: "Why can't you kill one first and then the other?"

Li Tianran's maturity is largely due to the woman Guan Qiaohong.

In Jiang Wen's mind, there must always be a woman behind the process of a boy turning into a man.

And the first woman who made Jiang Wen mature was undoubtedly Liu Xiaoqing.

Because Jiang Wen was immersed in excitement at the time, he thought everyone was as excited as him, but in fact everyone was very calm. Therefore, after the script was written, he could not find investment.

Unable to find investment, Jiang Wen had no choice but to regain his identity as an actor and go to the United States to film "A Man in New York."

But Liu Xiaoqing, who was already doing business at that time, was not idle. At that time, he could not exchange a few words with his business rivals, so he talked about Jiang Wen's movie, and while talking, he lied: "I am the heroine of this movie."

Liu Xiaoqing was very smart about this. With her status in the film and television industry at the time, she undoubtedly gilded the film to a great extent.

However, many people are willing to pay Jiang Wen to act, but no one believes that he can be a director.

Finally, Liu Xiaoqing finally dialed someone's phone number, and that person was Wen Jun.

Liu Xiaoqing first got to know Wen Juan through Jiang Wen.

At that time, there was a co-production between Mainland China and Hong Kong called "Heroes of the Narrow Road", starring Jiang Wen and Wan Ziliang.

The director and screenwriter of this film is Wen Jun.

During the cooperation process, the two heroes cherished each other.

Wen Jun called Jiang Wen a "movie fanatic" who was 100% devoted to movies.

Jiang Er said that Wenjun was a very good Xiangjiang person.

When Liu Xiaoqing met Wen Jun, he did not get straight to the point. He only said: "Jiang Wen wants to direct a film, but he doesn't know which Hong Kong film company to work with."

Wen Jun didn't know what he meant, but he seriously analyzed the form of the Hong Kong film industry.

From Jiahe to Yongsheng, from independent production to Taiwan funding, in the end, he concluded: "Maybe you can't find one!"

They were happy to ask Jiang Wen to film a movie, but probably no boss would be willing to ask him to be a director.

Because being a director involves no longer hundreds of millions, but tens of millions.

"Those bosses want to make commercial films." Wen Jun said slowly.

Liu Xiaoqing was so anxious that she lied to him and said, "Actually, Jiang Wen and I want you to be the partner we most want to cooperate with!"

After Wen Juan heard this, he was also very excited. He felt that he had agreed simply: "Okay, I will invest!"

However, in fact, as soon as he said this sentence, Wen Juan was stunned.

"Where am I going to get money?" Wen Juan couldn't help but think.

However, Wenjun finally decided to invest.

On April 17, 1993, Wen Jun, who was full of energy, held a financing conference for "Sunny Days" in Xiangjiang.

At the "Sunshine" money-making meeting, Wen Jun got up and made a splash -

"It should be worthwhile to invest in Jiang Wen. He is recognized as the most talented male star in China. His popularity is far beyond everyone's imagination. Liu Xiaoqing, who has been asked to serve as volunteer director, is a household name in mainland China. We will provide money.

Just think of it as investing not in the film, but in them, and the reward will definitely be worth it!"

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Wen Jun believed it himself.

After the press conference, Wen Jun and Liu Xiaoqing began to split up and continue to attract investment for the movie "Sunny Days".

On the other side, Jiang Xiaofeng was either studying the script in the courtyard, or thinking about which folk song he should choose as the first song of his debut.

After careful consideration, Jiang Xiaofeng finally chose the song "Those Flowers" among many folk songs.

In fact, Jiang Xiaofeng felt somewhat guilty when he chose the song "Those Flowers" as his debut song.

Because in this life, Jiang Xiaofeng spent most of his time in the Shaolin Temple, and the total time he left the Shaolin Temple was only more than a month.

In other words, based on Jiang Xiaofeng's experience in this life, under normal circumstances, Jiang Xiaofeng would not have met so many girls in his life, and it would be difficult for him to compose the song "Those Flowers".

However, Jiang Xiaofeng felt that after all, he was just a martial arts monk, not a real monk who fasted and chanted Buddha's name. Even if he fell in love with a girl at the foot of the mountain when he was in Shaolin Temple, it was not impossible.

Moreover, in the memory of his previous life, Jiang Xiaofeng also really liked the song "Those Flowers" and thought "Those Flowers" was a sad, sentimental and warm classic work.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's opinion, the song "Those Flowers" is very well done in terms of lyrics, music, and even arrangement.

Although the song "Those Flowers" may not be as popular and influential as Lao Lang's "My Deskmate", it can definitely be regarded as a classic folk song that can be used.

After deciding on the song "Those Flowers", Jiang Xiaofeng began to seriously take out paper and pen in his room, and began to write lyrics and music, and then spent more than a week arranging the music for this song.

Of course, with Jiang Xiaofeng's current guitar level and near-zero musical literacy, it is difficult for him to do the job of arranging music well.

Just like the arrangement when composing "Drum Tower", Jiang Xiaofeng could only make the simplest guitar arrangement based on his memories of his previous life.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaofeng spent a few days trying to play and sing the song "Those Flowers" by himself.

What makes Jiang Xiaofeng quite depressed is that Xiao Li, who is about to take the college entrance examination, not only does not feel any pressure or tension in his studies, but also comes to his room to sit and chat every night. This seriously affects Jiang Xiaofeng's practice of "Those"

The song "Flowers".

Jiang Xiaofeng felt that it was not a big problem to disturb him while practicing singing. The key was that his grandson, Xiao Li, was about to take the college entrance examination. He was fooling around with him every day. He was also worried that Xiao Li would not be admitted to college. Then he said to him earnestly: "Xiao Feng

Li, you'd better read a little bit, otherwise you won't be able to get into college."

Xiao Li said disapprovingly: "If you can't pass the exam, you can't pass the exam. What's the big deal? Who cares about reading? I've thought about it a long time ago. From now on, I will just be like my parents and be an honest person."

The landlord gets it."

"I think that as long as I don't engage in gambling or drugs in my life, I can live in a large courtyard in my house and collect the rent from you people on a fixed monthly basis, so that I can ensure that I have enough food and clothing."

Now that Xiao Li has talked about this, Jiang Xiaofeng doesn't bother to talk about him anymore, because Jiang Xiaofeng also thinks that what Xiao Li said makes sense.

You know, in Beijing, where land is at a premium, and in a large courtyard on the edge of the Second Ring Road, Xiao Li has already surpassed more than 90% of his peers in the country before he has entered society.

After practicing singing accompaniment to new songs for a few days, Jiang Xiaofeng felt that his skills were relatively proficient, and he happened to lack an audience, so he sang the song "Those Flowers" while playing in front of Xiao Li.

"That laugh reminds me of

my flowers

in every corner of my life

Open it quietly for me

I thought I would forever

stay by her side

Today we have left

In the vast sea of ​​people

…”

As soon as Jiang Xiaofeng opened his mouth, Xiao Li was stunned by Jiang Xiaofeng's deep and sad singing voice.

Compared with "Drum Tower", this song sung by Jiang Xiaofeng is obviously more affectionate and heartfelt, giving people a eloquent feeling.

"Some stories haven't been told yet.

Then forget it

Those feelings are in the years

It’s hard to tell the truth from the false

Now it's overgrown with grass

no more flowers

Fortunately, I once had your spring and autumn, winter and summer

Are they all old?

where are they

That's how we are

Everyone runs to the end of the world

La la la la, la la la la, la la la, miss her

…”

Although Xiao Li's favorite singer is Dou Wei and his favorite music type is rock, he was still deeply moved after listening to this folk-style song sung by Jiang Xiaofeng.

Let me ask, who hasn’t encountered a few flowers in their youth?

Looking at the music score drawn on the paper by Jiang Xiaofeng, Xiao Li turned his head and asked uncertainly: "Monk, don't tell me that you also wrote this song yourself?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "You guessed it right, this song is indeed mine. How do you feel? Is it okay?"

Xiao Li said excitedly: "It's no longer a question of whether you can do it or not. It's simply great. I can only comment in two words: Awesome!"
