The opening song is a hero song, you call this a fresh meat

Time goes back to the day before

《Zhang Dahui, the chief producer of"Water Margin", is worried about the theme song.

The on-site shooting of the plot has been completed.

The post-production is basically completed. But the theme song has not been finalized.

Zhang Dahui has rejected more than ten songs.

It's not that those songs are bad, but they feel a little bit off.

They lack the heroic temperament.

Just last night, I had tea and chatted with director Zhang Shaolin.

I accidentally saw the trending search on Weibo:

#The passionate"Hero Song", do you think this is a young actor? #Clicked in to listen, just after listening to the beginning, I stood up from my chair.

I almost knocked over my teacup.

I exclaimed:

"That's the feeling! That's the feeling!"

Zhang Shaolin was startled and asked quickly,"What's the feeling? You're so old, why are you still so irritable?"

The two old brothers are already over seventy years old and have worked together countless times. They are both masters who have won many awards.

They should have retired long ago, but they always feel that something is missing in their lives.

The two sat together and decided to remake"Water Margin"!

The versions shot by the younger generation have too many personal interpretations, which led to the misinterpretation of many heroes in Water Margin.

The two old predecessors personally stepped forward, one as producer and the other as chief director.

They poured all their efforts into it and wanted to draw a perfect end to their professional lives.

The filming process was very smooth and perfectly restored the plot in the original work. After the filming of the plot was completed, post-production was also carried out as scheduled. It's just that the theme song has not been finalized yet.

"Listen to this song!"

Zhang Dahui heard his old friend's question, moved his phone forward, and turned up the volume.

"When you see injustice, speak up!"

"Strike when the time is right!"

""Running through the nine states in a whirlwind!"

Su Cheng's passionate and heroic voice came from the phone.

The lyrics are simple and clear, and the rhythm is very strong.

Just listening to the song, you feel like you are in the wild world of drinking big bowls of wine, eating big chunks of meat, and weighing gold and silver!

The only flaw is that it is mixed with the screams of fans at the scene.

This video is recorded by fans at the scene.

The sound quality is not clear.

After watching the video of Su Cheng singing.

The two old men looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds.

"Good song!"

""Great song!"

The two gave the most concise evaluation in unison.

Zhang Dahui asked,"What do you think of using it as the theme song for"Water Margin"?"

"The melody is passionate, the rhythm is brisk, the lyrics are powerful, and the content is completely in line with the image of a hero."

Zhang Shaolin gave his own opinion.

As a director, he is undoubtedly the one who knows the plot best. After just listening to"Hero Song" once, he felt that this song fits the heroes in Water Margin very well.

"Yes, I think so too. The lyrics of this song are simple and catchy, which is very conducive to singing. With this song as the theme song, the promotion of"Water Margin" will not be a problem!"

Zhang Dahui is a producer and gave his judgment from a market perspective

"only......"

Zhang Shaolin hesitated to speak

"Are you still worried? Why are you still hesitating?"Zhang Dahui saw that the old man looked worried and asked

"This singer doesn't quite fit the image of a 'hero'!"

The video is not very high resolution.

But you can still see clearly that the singer is a thin, fair-skinned boy.

"Indeed, I never thought that such a fair-skinned singer could sing so powerfully."

"《Will"Water Margin" use this song as the theme song?"

"Shaolin, you still need to change CCTV's style. Whether to use it as the theme song or not, you need the consent of the original singer."

""My brother is right, but I think the image of this singer is completely different from that of a 'hero'."

Zhang Shaolin said as he picked up his phone and showed it to Zhang Dahui.

"This singer is called Su Cheng. He used to sing lyrical songs. Only this song"Hero Song" is of this style."

"When we cast actors, we always choose them based on the"tough guy" standard, without exception."

"If a popular star is chosen because of the theme song, will it affect the image of the hero in the play?"

"In the words of young people, this Su Cheng is just a fresh meat, and has nothing to do with the heroes of Water Margin!"

Zhang Shaolin expressed his opinion.

The song is a good song, whether it is the lyrics or the accompaniment tune, it is completely in line with the characters in Water Margin.

It's just that the singer's image is too fair and tender!

Zhang Dahui shook his head and didn't think so.

"What was our original intention in filming"Water Margin"?"

"It is not about promoting the spirit of the masses, it is not about fighting and killing for the sake of justice, and it is not about teaching everyone to fight violence with violence to solve injustice."

"The essence of the hero spirit is courage, integrity, justice and responsibility"

"These are all inherent qualities. When selecting actors for the filming, we did not use pretty boys or popular stars in order to highlight the image in the play."

"It doesn’t mean that just because you look handsome you are not a hero!"

"Shaolin, you are obsessed."

Zhang Dahui believes that Su Cheng's handsome appearance does not affect his heroic spirit.

Besides, Su Cheng's song"Hero Song" has obviously become popular, which brings its own traffic. From the perspective of the producer looking at the market

《"Hero Song" is also very suitable as a theme song!

The two discussed until late at night.

The next day, they called together the producer, investors and other relevant personnel, and after a morning of discussion, they finally determined that"Hero Song" was the only existing candidate song for the theme song of"Water Margin".

Producer Zhang Dahui personally applied for copyright to Su Cheng.

As an older generation of artists, he has a very rich network of resources and relationships.

He quickly got Su Cheng's mobile phone number.

But no one answered the phone when he called it.

""Nowadays, young handsome men forget themselves as soon as they become popular and don't even answer the phone."

A little assistant beside him whispered.

News about young handsome men acting like big shots is indeed not uncommon.

Zhang Dahui glared at her and said,"Maybe he is busy. Don't make malicious assumptions about others."

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone, edited a text message and sent it to Su Cheng.......

On the other side, Su Cheng exclaimed after reading the text message

"Water Margin!"

"This is the rhythm of reappearing the classic!"

Su Cheng checked on his mobile phone. There is no 1998 version of"Water Margin" in this world.

The 2011 version of Water Margin has some problems in terms of plot rhythm, actor acting skills, etc.

Zhang Dahui said in the text message that he is the producer.

Su Cheng remembered that the producer of the 1998 version of Water Margin was Zhang Dahui!

"I just don’t know if the director is Zhang Shaolin."

Su Cheng muttered and dialed Zhang Dahui’s number.

The theme song of Water Margin must be"Hero Song"!
