Popular entertainment circle, you call this a little hobby

Chapter 2 Half of the city is covered with smoke and sand, and the iron horse is a powerful force.

A guitar and a piano were the things that Wang Xuan originally left for him after his company went bankrupt, and Yuan Shen snatched them back from the practice room. At that time, Yuan Shen didn't know what the use of robbing these two things was, so he thought

Since I have devoted three years of my youth in the company, I have to leave something behind.

Unexpectedly, this move of the original body was very convenient for Wang Xuan.

After returning from the hospital, Wang Xuan began to produce the theme song for Mr. Chen Kai's movie. Of course, what he produced was just a demo.

Teacher Chen Kai's upcoming movie is called "General in Troubled Times". It roughly tells the story of Liang Xiao, a commoner with a wealth of knowledge. He is in troubled times and is forced to join the army. He separates from his beautiful wife at home and begins a battle to achieve great success.

career.

Wang Xuan studied the script and soon settled on a song in his mind, "Half City of Smoke and Sand" by Xu Song.

Write lyrics and compose music. The accompaniment of the original "Half City of Smoke and Sand" required the use of electronic drums, pipa, flute, guzheng, guitar and other instruments. Wang Xuan did not have most of these instruments, so he only used guitar accompaniment to record the demo. Then

Send the recorded song sample and complete score to Chen Kai.

After doing this, Wang Xuan seemed to have lost all his strength and lay on the bed quietly in a daze.

He was thinking about what he should do in this life.

In my previous life, I was a model. After I tried to sing a song, I unexpectedly became popular. I was noticed by a talent scout from an entertainment company, and then I started my career in the entertainment industry as a singer.

It's a pity that the company is unwilling to invest too many resources on him. He is positioned as a cover singer and a cover of popular songs of his predecessors. Occasionally, the original works he buys are one or two, and most of them are just mouth-watering songs, which cannot make any big waves.

As a result, his singing career has been tepid.

Because of this, he had a falling out with the company and was kept in the cold for three years.

His acting skills were honed during this period, and his achievements as a musical instrument master were also unlocked during his period.

Two years later, his contract with the company expired, and as a free agent, he signed up for the second male lead role in a movie and was selected. After the movie was released, the male and female protagonists were not popular, but Wang Xuan, who played the second male lead, gained popularity with his performance.

His superb acting skills quickly made him famous, and he was valued by a large entertainment company and signed a contract.

This was a turning point in Wang Xuan's entertainment career. From then on, Wang Xuan received a lot more resources, and they were all top-notch resources. The movies were all male protagonists, the variety shows were popular variety shows, and even the songs were no longer

It’s one of those mouth-watering songs on the market.

Wang Xuan also quickly became popular with these resources, and it became popular even before it reached its peak.

Unfortunately, his peak was never seen in his previous life. A car accident ruined his stage career, and he was forced to bid farewell to the stage and turn behind the scenes.

At that time, Wang Xuan thought he had looked away, but looking back now, he actually had too many regrets in his entertainment career. Also, he didn't even achieve the status of King of Singers and Best Actors, so how could he have no regrets?

Saying farewell to the stage and turning behind the scenes, you have been engaged in work related to lyrics, music and scripts. Isn't it a kind of unwillingness?

Perhaps God allowed him to travel to this world just to help him make up for his regrets.

In his current body, he has an excellent appearance. With a height of 183cm, he is the model of Yang Yang on earth. What surprised Wang Xuan was that in this life, his voice talent was exceptionally good. His voice was round and full, with very high definition. He could

Control most vocal ranges.

Wang Xuan would have felt sorry for himself if he had good looks, a wide vocal range, top-notch acting skills, and stood on the shoulders of countless people on the planet.

"Let's set a small goal first, and then we can win the position of King of Singers." Wang Xuan thought to himself.

In fact, Wang Xuan knew what he wanted to do from the beginning to the end, and he definitely wanted to break into the entertainment industry. What he was thinking about now was just how to break into it. For example, whether to sign a contract with a company and what route to take.

On the other side, when Wang Xuan sent the song demo to Chen Kai, Chen Kai also finished filming the last scene of "General in Troubled Times". When he turned on his mobile phone, he found that there was a new email in his PP mailbox. After clicking on it, he found that it was sent

The recipient is Wang Xuan.

"Half a City of Smoke and Sand"? The title of the song is a bit interesting, but I don't know what the song is like. With this idea in mind, Chen Kai casually forwarded Wang Xuan's email to Li Tao, the head of the company's music department.

I turned around and forgot about this matter. Mainly because the movie had just finished filming and he had too many things to do. For example, editing, sound effects, special effects and a series of post-production processes needed to be handled by him.

Half an hour later, Chen Kai received a call from Li Tao: "Hey old Chen, it turns out that you already have a suitable theme song for the movie. Fortunately, I am still here to work hard to help you collect it. Please tell me.

, where did the song come from?”

"Where did this song come from?" Chen Kai was confused when he heard this, and then he came to his senses, "You're not talking about the song "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" that I forwarded to your mailbox not long ago, are you?"

"That's the song."

"Which song is suitable for my movie theme song?"

"It's so suitable, it's like it's tailor-made for your movie."

"Wait for me at the company." Chen Kai couldn't sit still after hearing this. He returned to the company in a hurry, found Li Tao, and confirmed again: "Is "Half City of Smoke and Sand" really suitable as the theme song for my movie?"

"Please read the lyrics first. They are tailor-made. I even want to suggest that you change the title of the movie to "Half City of Smoke and Sand"," Li Tao said.

This evaluation was so high that Chen Kai couldn't wait to pick up the lyrics and read them together.

“Some love is like a paper kite with its string cut off

The ending is tragic."

This first verse of lyrics attracted Chen Kai, and when he saw the climax

"Half the city is full of smoke and sand, soldiers are approaching the pond

For whom do we fight for the world?

One will turn into ten thousand bones and wither

How many white hair take away black hair

Half of the city is filled with smoke and sand blowing down with the wind

There is still a trace of concern in my hand

I just want to return to the fields and take off my armor

I can also take home the tea you brewed.”

Chen Kai's hand holding the lyrics was trembling, trembling with excitement. Yes, this was the theme song he wanted. Even if he hadn't heard the song yet, based on the lyrics alone, he could be sure that this was his theme song.

Desired theme song.

The background of his movie is an era of war and chaos. The protagonist Liang Xiao was originally a civilian but was forced to join the army and was separated from his wife at home.

In the movie, Liang Xiao is a real military genius with great ambitions. After he joined the army, he rose from a small soldier and killed enemies on the battlefield. He was very brave and quickly stood out. From a small soldier, he became a centurion, a thousand captain,

It only took a short year for him to become a captain again.

And this was only the beginning of Liang Xiao's glory. After Liang Xiao became the captain and initially took control of the military, what he had learned in his life was truly put to use. He led troops to fight, and there were endless schemes and schemes. Every battle

Victory is certain and all attacks are invincible. His military rank has been rising all the way. In seven years, in just seven years, he rose from the rank of captain to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

With only one last city left, Liang Xiao can bring peace to the world.

But when Liang Xiao's army came to the city, he hesitated. Because once he pacified the world, his power would reach its peak, controlling one-third of the country's army, with countless generals under his command, and capable people would emerge in large numbers, with just one order.

, the whole world is at your fingertips.

Such power is something that the emperor will definitely not tolerate. He understands this truth, and the generals under him also understand it. It seems that the only thing waiting for him is to support the world. His subordinates also support him in fighting for the world.

But God can see how pitiful he was. He was forced to join the army in the first place. His biggest long-cherished wish was to one day be able to take off his armor and return to his fields and reunite with his wife. As for any words of loyalty and the like, they were all false. He had never considered who he wanted to fight for in the world.

He is about to pacify the world and end the war, but it seems that the only way waiting for him is rebellion. How ridiculous is this?

Another thing is that in successive years of war, too many people have died. He has witnessed too many tragedies of white-haired people sending black-haired people away, and he is already tired in his heart. He does not want to cause trouble again because of his ambition.

After thinking about it over and over again, at the end of the movie, Liang Xiao chose to fake his death after bringing peace to the world, giving up the world at his fingertips, retreating to the mountains and forests with his wife, and living a life free from the world.

This is the story told in Chen Kai's film, which roughly describes the cruelty of war and the yearning for peace.

Li Tao is right, this song is almost tailor-made for his movie, especially the climax, which is very consistent with Liang Xiao's mood in the movie when his troops are approaching the city.

"It's him! How about the song?" Chen Kai asked.

"Lin Rui couldn't put it down after listening to the demo, what do you think?" Li Tao asked back.

Chen Kai knew what he was saying. Lin Rui is the first-line singer in their company, second only to the King of Songs. Songs that Lin Rui can't put down are definitely rare masterpieces.

"Where did this song come from? Who wrote it?" Li Tao was curious.

"If I said this song was written by a newcomer, would you believe it?"

"It's impossible. This song can't be made without ten years of skill."

"But that's the fact. Not only is this song written by a newcomer, but it's probably the first song he wrote." Chen Kai laughed and asked, "Does Lin Rui have any ideas for this song?"

"Of course. It's not like you don't know how long Lin Ruika has been stuck in the position of a first-line singer. This guy is obviously only one step away from the position of the king of singers, but he just can't get promoted. In the final analysis, he just lacks Zhang Naide

The album was released. The key is that Lin Rui is 32 this year. Among the first-line singers with Lin Rui’s status in the entertainment industry, Lin Rui is on the older side. If he doesn’t get promoted, he will never have a chance again,” said Li Tao.

"I understand." Chen Kai nodded and dialed Wang Xuan's number in front of Li Tao: "I received the song. It's very good. When are you free, let's chat in person."
