Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Mr. Yu, my role is not that many. By the time you arrived on the set, I had already gone back. But I think your guidance made it look much better than before!" Ye Xiaomin quickly added.

"The martial arts scenes in that TV series were so beautifully shot!" Zhang Longwen interjected: "Later I heard from Xiao Min that it was you, Mr. Yu, who directed Mr. Yu, so you might as well make a martial arts drama by yourself. The martial arts action design is so chic and beautiful. I invest!"

At the end, Zhang Longwen looked excited.

He seems to be a martial arts fan.

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

When talking about this topic, Zhang Longwen suppressed his smile and looked a little arrogant: "Needless to say Xiao Min's acting skills. When Lu Yongru filmed this "Martial Arts Hero", I didn't know Xiao Min. Otherwise, I would tell Director Lu Say, at least let her play the second female lead, right?"

This bullshit is awesome.

However, Yu Dongqing didn't want to argue with him about this issue, so she thought for a while and said: "Ye Xiaomin, it is difficult to change the choice of the number one female lead, but are you willing to play the second female lead? The role of Wei Lai? Your appearance and The temperament is very suitable for this rich girl."

"No, no!" Before Ye Xiaomin could answer, Zhang Longwen next to him refused: "The Wei Lai in the script is beautiful and well-behaved on the surface but has a vicious heart, and ends up dying tragically. How can Xiao Min play such a role?!"

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

"Um?"

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

"Xiao Min, we don't need to hang ourselves from a tree, right? There are so many movies to make!" Zhang Longwen advised.

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

Seeing that his goddaughter was so stubborn, Zhang Longwen agreed, but he still felt a little unhappy and reduced the original investment from 30 million to 20 million.

20 million is not a lot. With this 20 million, you can get the bulk of the film's budget. Then you can find some ways to find some, and the funding problem will be solved!

Everyone enjoyed the meal, Zhang Longwen had a good drinker, Li Wan and Yu Dongqing had to risk their lives to accompany Junzi, and in the end even Mingliang and Ye Xiaomin had two drinks, and they were as beautiful as peach blossoms.

However, in the end, I couldn't drive, so I had to call for a 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 Mingliang behind.

"Brother-in-law, I think Ye Xiaomin is a nice person. She is gentle and quiet like a lady. How can she find a godfather?" Meiliang asked suddenly.

"Didn't you hear that his godfather can invest in her? How many actors who have just debuted can get this kind of treatment?" Yu Dongqing said lightly: "Okay, stop gossiping about this, just film your movie well. .”

"I know, it's just, hey." Meiliang sighed and said nothing more.

Meili continued to be busy with her filming career, while Yu Dongqing had some free time.

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

It is Zhang Bao who has already made it out of the annual finals of "Starlight Sing" and will soon participate in the annual finals of "Starlight Sing".

Yu Dongqing has never been worried about Zhang Bao. The young man is also very good. He has won the weekly championship, monthly championship, and annual championship all the way, and now he is about to face the annual championship.

Feng Pei called from Qinbei the day before yesterday just for this purpose. He hoped that Zhang Bao's results 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 annual championship finals of "Starlight Singing", it is divided into two rounds. The top six will eliminate the bottom two, and the top four will advance to compete with each other for the championship and runner-up.

Feng Pei means that it is best to enter the semi-finals.

Of course Yu Dongqing also hopes, and even more 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", he shocked everyone with the song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" and successfully advanced.

But Zhang Bao sings folk songs of northern Qin Dynasty, so the songs he chooses cannot completely break away from this category, otherwise they will lose their characteristics.

Otherwise, a "northwesterly wind?"

In the original time and space, the late 1980s, a large number of works emerged on the mainland music scene. Their styles were mostly based on the traditional culture of the inland and northwest regions and sang about the loess complex.

The influence of this "northwest wind" lasted for about ten years. He expresses his feelings without beating around the bush, his emotions are sincere, and he is easy to pronounce. It can be said that "Northwest Wind" combines three styles of rock, ethnic and pop.

How about letting Zhang Bao try it too?

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

He didn't tell Zhang Bao about this. He wanted to discuss it with Feng Pei, including this 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 already 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.

"No way? You are a big singer, and you still need me to check the quality of your products?" Feng Pei joked on the phone.

"This song was written specifically for Zhang Bao." Yu Dongqing added.

Feng Pei immediately understood what he meant.

"Okay, let me listen."

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

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

There are many students living in the school, many of whom are left-behind students, and he is worried about something happening at night.

After receiving the score from Yu Dongqing, I didn't rush to read it. Instead, I took a flashlight and walked around the campus, especially the boys' dormitory, to see if there were any naughty ones or those who stayed out at night. Just returned to his dormitory.

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

The winter in Qinbei was very cold. Feng Pei returned to the dormitory, took off his coat, heated up the coal stove, and toasted his frozen hands. Then he took out his mobile phone and looked at it carefully.

The song is called "Xintianyou"

I lower my head to the ravine

Chasing the passing years

The valley is filled with wind and sand

Miss my childhood

Feng Pei looked at the score and hummed softly.

"Mountain Valley", "Baiyun", "Dayan", "Xiaohe" and "Shandandan".

These are typical scenery of Northern Qin, and the tunes also have an obvious flavor of Northern Qin folk songs.

But Feng Pei clearly felt that it was not purely Xintianyou folk songs popular in the northern Qin region, but had been improved to incorporate pop and rock elements.

But can the audience accept such a song? Or do you prefer Zhang Bao to sing purely natural folk songs?

Is this risk worth taking?

It was obvious that Yu Dongqing had not completely decided, so he asked himself to give advice.

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

The geese have heard my song

The river kissed my face

Mountain dandelions bloom and fall

again and again

Feng Pei suddenly had an idea. How about finding a class with music classes tomorrow and singing to the children to see if they like it? !

"Principal Feng is taking the music class himself." The students in the first class of the second grade of junior high school suddenly heard the news, and the class was immediately in a panic.

"Principal Feng can also sing?"

"Isn't it the same old song as "Guerrilla Song" and "Surprise Soldiers Across the Chishui River" again?" A fat boy sitting on the desk said.

Another girl with short hair immediately retorted:

"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, who usually has a serious face, to sing pop songs.

Soon, the class bell rang, and Feng Pei, wearing glasses, hurried into the classroom, and the class suddenly became quiet.

"stand up!"

After the teacher 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, turned his head and said to the students.

"Students, today I sing a new song. I don't ask you to learn it, but I want you to listen to it. Is this song good?"

"Okay!" The whole class said in unison.

Feng Pei looked at the score and started singing while playing.

Wow.

Principal Feng can actually play the piano!

And he can really sing!

Why does this song sound weird?

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

But it does sound good!

When Feng Pei finished singing, the classroom burst into warm applause.

"Principal Feng, sing again!"

"Principal, we also want to learn"

Feng Pei had a smile on his face and started singing again.

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

"Then I will let Zhang Bao sing this song in the finals!" 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 sang covers, such as Li Lingyu, Zhuo Yiting, etc., but it is still the most classic sung by Chen Lin.

Oh, she also sang a song "Little Snail Horn", which quickly made her famous in Yanjing City 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 arranging the music. Then he drove to Liu Yimin's Shili Peach Blossom Bistro, found Zhang Bao, and handed the USB flash drive to him.

"Zhang Bao, will you sing this song during the finals? Your teacher heard it and thought it was good." Yu Dongqing said.

Zhang Bao didn't hesitate and directly inserted the USB disk into his recorder. Suddenly, a loud suona sound sounded, and Yu Dongqing's voice came from inside.

It’s actually a new song!

Zhang Bao looked at Yu Dongqing with surprise and joy.

"There is also a DEMO of accompaniment and lyrics on the USB flash drive. You can follow along and study hard."

"Zhang Bao, you have such a great reputation. So many big singers asked your teacher Yu to write songs, but he refused, so he wrote them 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 Xue Erlang for the reward, and thanks to Ezhi Niao and others for their monthly tickets.
