Chapter 23 The alien version of "The New Female Consort"

On the plane flying to Shanghai, Wang Xuan was sitting in the first class cabin, quietly thinking about his trip home.

He helped his family buy a house and planned a hot pot restaurant for his parents. If these only made Wang Xuan relieved, then being able to get along with his parents without any barriers made Wang Xuan happiest.

When he came to this world, a pair of parents appeared out of thin air, which had always been the most uneasy thing for Wang Xuan. Mainly because he was an orphan in his previous life, and although he had fantasies about his parents, they were just fantasies.

Before going home, he actually hadn't decided how to get along with his parents. He was afraid that abnormal behavior would lead to him being in trouble, because although he was fused with this body, the soul in his body truly belonged to another world.

.

It's fine now. I don't need to worry about this problem in the future. Besides, it feels really good to have family.

While I was thinking wildly, the plane had already arrived in the sky above Shanghai and landed slowly at Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai.

After leaving the airport, Wang Xuan was stunned when he saw Chen Kai and the others.

"Brother Kai, why are you here?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise. Before coming to Shanghai, Chen Kai asked him what time his flight was, but he didn't expect the former to come to pick him up. This made him a little flattered.

Feel.

"Of course I have to pick him up at the airport when I return to Shanghai." Chen Kai joked.

"Don't say that. That's because Brother Kai's movie is good, and mine is just the icing on the cake." Wang Xuan said modestly.

"Haha, I'm so humble. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Zhu Xu, the director of Tianyu Entertainment. You can call him Brother Xu from now on." Chen Kai introduced Wang Xuan with a smile.

"Hello, Brother Xu. Please take care of Brother Xu in the future." Wang Xuan greeted him and extended his right hand.

"I should ask Brother Xuan to take more care of our Tianyu. Brother Xuan, I've been looking forward to having you here. Come on, let's go to the hotel we've booked to pick up the wind and wash away the dust for Brother Xuan." Zhu Xubian enthusiastically told Wang

Xuan said while shaking hands.

"No, no, no, I just went home, why are you still here?" Wang Xuan said hurriedly.

"Wang Xuan, please don't refuse. In fact, we have been waiting for this banquet for a long time. Firstly, it is to welcome you and wash away the dust. Secondly, it is also a celebration banquet for the crew and Lin Rui. The director insisted on waiting for you to come back." Chen Kai laughed.

road.

"Oh haha, if you say that, I'm going to be more respectful than obey your orders." Wang Xuan said with a smile, no longer refusing.

The group of people took a special car from Tianyu Entertainment and arrived at the five-star hotel they had booked. Lin Rui and Li Tao had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw Wang Xuan coming over, they showered them with compliments, which made Wang Xuan feel embarrassed.

Naturally, the guests and hosts are enjoying themselves at the wine table. Because the results of the movie "Half a City of Smoke" and Lin Rui's new album are both incredible, all the staff involved will definitely receive a generous bonus.

Zhu Xu, Li Tao, and Chen Kai all drank a lot. Lin Rui needed to protect his throat, so he only drank some red wine.

Wang Xuan only drank some red wine because he couldn't drink white wine. In fact, Wang Xuan also wanted to protect his throat.

Singers are not allowed to drink and smoke at will. A typical negative example is Wang Jie. The latter himself revealed that his voice was poisoned by someone with malicious intentions, but many people broke the news that Wang Jie's life off stage has no taboos.

He smokes and drinks all kinds of things, and his throat is damaged by himself.

Wang Xuan is more inclined to believe the latter because he is an insider himself and knows how much smoking and drinking can damage a singer's voice.

It's a pity anyway.

You must know that Wang Jie was a god-like existence at his peak. The Four Heavenly Kings were created to counter Wang Jie. You can imagine how popular Wang Jie was at that time.

When Wang Xuan and the others were holding a celebration banquet, either intentionally or unintentionally, there was also a film crew holding a celebration banquet upstairs.

Wang Xuan is more likely to be intentional, because if it was not intentional, why would the director of the crew suddenly come over and find Chen Kai: "Old Chen, who is Wang Xuan? You can't hide it anymore this time, can you?"

"When did I hide it? I told you that I would introduce it to you when Wang Xuan returns to the devil's capital." Chen Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and introduced to Wang Xuan: "Wang Xuan, this is director Shen Zhe. He shot a movie

This is a costume TV series, and I still need a TV series theme song. I saw that the movie theme song you made for me was a big success, so I wanted to ask you to make a singing appointment. I wonder if you have a suitable song."

"What does Brother Tao mean?" Wang Xuan looked at Li Tao. He signed a contract with Tianyu Entertainment and is now a member of the music department. Generally, it is best to ask Li Tao's opinion for this kind of song invitation.

"Brother Xuan, Lao Shen is our old friend. If you have a suitable theme song, you can help compose it. However, I hope that the song can be sung by our Tianyu singers." Li Tao said.

"That's no problem. As long as the movie theme song is suitable, it doesn't matter who sings it," Shen Zhe said.

"The price should be based on the price of top composers." Li Tao said.

"Old Li, you seem a bit uninteresting, don't you? Wang Xuan has only released three songs, how can he pay the price of a top songwriter?" Shen Zhe frowned.

"But Wang Xuan's three songs, can most top composers be able to compose them? Let's not talk about "Dongfeng Po", but "The World" and "Half City of Smoke and Sand", which top composer can compose such a volume?

A custom-made song?”

"."

"Old Shen, it's really not me who cheated you. The price Lao Chen gave Wang Xuan for the movie theme song is the price of a top composer. For the song "The World", the minimum guarantee is 6 million, and there is also a share.

If you don’t believe it, I can show you the contract later. To put it bluntly, if you weren’t our old friend, I wouldn’t want Wang Xuan to compose a theme song for you, but an old friend is an old friend, so I can’t

It is irresponsible to Wang Xuan to ruin Wang Xuan's business because of you," Li Tao said.

Wang Xuan secretly gave Li Tao a thumbs up.

In fact, Li Tao is a bit of a cheat. The song "The World" is indeed considered the price of a top composer, but it was a special situation. It was released to save the movie "Half City of Smoke and Sand", and Wang Xuan just happened to have a suitable song.

But the theme song of the movie "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" was only given the price of a gold medal composer.

Chen Kai also knows about this situation, but Chen Kai will not tell it. Because he knows that Li Tao is helping Wang Xuan establish his worth. If Shen Zhe agrees and Wang Xuan makes a suitable theme song, then Wang Xuan's worth will be established in this way.

Got up.

From now on, if outsiders want to invite Wang Xuan to sing, they must follow the market conditions of top songwriters.

"Old Shen, I think what you are struggling with now is not the price issue, but the issue of whether you can collect a suitable theme song. But I know that the theme song for your TV series is not easy to come up with. You should have asked the top players in the industry for a long time.

Has the composer made a song appointment? What’s the result? It hasn’t been decided yet.” Chen Kai interjected.

"Okay, as long as the song is suitable, the price is not an issue." Shen Zhe said.

Chen Kai's words can be regarded as hitting the key point. It's hard to say whether Wang Xuan can make a suitable theme song. What price should we talk about? If he really makes a suitable theme song, why not give him the price of a top composer?

"Wang Xuan, since Lao Shen agrees to the price, then you can help him compose a theme song." Li Tao said.

"I'll try my best. Director Shen can send the TV series script to Brother Kai, and then Brother Kai will send it to me and I'll try it out. But there's no guarantee that I can make a suitable theme song," Wang Xuan said.

"no problem."

Shen Zhe was very efficient and had a neat and tidy character. He sent the TV series script to Chen Kai on the spot.

Then Chen Kai forwarded it to Wang Xuan.

But Wang Xuan didn't look at it.

After the celebration banquet, Wang Xuan returned to the apartment, washed up before opening the script.

Drama title: "The Heroine"

Then there is the story summary: The play tells the story of a generation of strange woman Zheng Yueqin who avenged her father and took part in the scientific examination under the alias Zheng Xiangguo. However, she accidentally became the consort of the emperor's favorite princess, and from then on she was involved in court disputes and treacherous people. A story of battle of wits and courage.

The synopsis of the story seemed familiar. Wang Xuan frowned and read the synopsis:

Zheng Yueqin, the daughter of Zheng Guoqing, the prefect of Anzhou, was both talented and beautiful. When she reached the age of marriage, Zheng Guoqing set up a stage for Zheng Yueqin to compete in martial arts to find a son-in-law. Countless princes, ministers and princes came to marry Zheng Yueqin.

On the other side, there was a young man named Li Zhaoyan from the prefecture of Jinzhou, who was also famous for his talent and appearance. He had been classmates with Zheng Yueqin for many years and had already been interested in Zheng Yueqin. When he saw Zheng Yueqin competing in martial arts to recruit a bride, Li Zhaoyan came to the scene with the intention of winning. The leader marries Zheng Yueqin.

The emperor had a princess named Qingqing. Princess Qingqing admired Li Zhaoyan. When she saw Xu Zhaoyan wanted to compete on stage, she knew that her sweetheart's heart was with another woman. In order to fulfill her sweetheart, Princess Qingqing disguised herself as a man and used the alias of Master Hu Yue to defeat Hou. Nangong Sheng, the son of the master, and Liu Wei'an, the son of the prime minister, deliberately lost to Li Zhaoyan. With the help of Princess Qingqing, Li Zhaoyan successfully won the title and got engaged to Zheng Yueqin.

Nangong Sheng was unwilling to accept Zheng Yueqin's marriage to Li Zhaoyan, and bribed the eunuch chief Eunuch Chen to frame Li Zhaoyan, forcing Li Zhaoyan to write a blood letter to break off the engagement. Nangong Sheng took the opportunity to ask the emperor for an imperial decree granting marriage, and betrothed Zheng Yueqin to him three days later. marriage.

On the day of the wedding, Zheng Yueqin faked his death. Nangong Sheng was unwilling to do so and worshiped Zheng Yueqin with flowers, and then left. After hearing the news, Li Zhaoyan came to cry, but Zheng Yueqin's body had long since disappeared.

Shortly after Zheng Yueqin's "death", the Zheng Mansion was suddenly framed. Zheng Yueqin's mother died unjustly, and her father Zheng Guoqing also became crazy under the impact of the great changes. The arrogant Zheng Mansion has since become an ominous place.

Zheng Yueqin, who was resurrected from the dead, disguised herself as a man and came to the capital with a blood feud. She took part in the imperial examination under the alias Zheng Xiangguo and became the first member. After participating in the imperial examination, the emperor selected her as the number one scholar in the new department, Li Zhaoyan as the second best, and Liu Weian as the third most popular member.

"Isn't this an alien version of "The New Female Consort"?" Wang Xuan has already come to the conclusion before he has finished reading the script. Sure enough, the next plot development is very similar to the plot of "The New Female Consort".

Wang Xuan finally understood why it was so difficult for Shen Zhe to collect a suitable theme song. Because his TV series was not an ordinary costume film, but was adapted from the plot of the folk legend Huangmei Opera "The Female Consort".

It is difficult to collect a theme song for such an adaptation, because you first need to know something about Huangmei Opera. And most composers have never even been exposed to Huangmei Opera, so how can they create a suitable theme song?

But Wang Xuan really had a suitable theme song. There was no song more suitable for this TV series. Wang Xuan made the theme song that night, registered the copyright, and sent it to Li Tao.
