Entertainment system: The sad queen sang and made the audience cry

Just when Gu Zhimiao was about to continue talking to Luo Hui.

Her entertainment system came out to show its presence.

【beep】

[Entertainment system version 1.7, at your service]

[Application scenario detected, the song "The First Dream" is playing]

"Forehead……"

Luo Hui saw Gu Zhimiao's face change slightly and pressed her head again, thinking that she was not feeling well.

So I asked, "What's wrong, sister?"

Gu Zhimiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Luo Hui asked with concern: "Are you tired? Do you need a rest?"

It is often when Gu Zhimiao shows her vulnerability that people remember that she is a person with a tumor in her brain.

Gu Zhimiao picked up her tablet and said, "It's nothing. I just got an inspiration. Wait for me. I think this song should be suitable for you to sing."

After saying this, Gu Zhimiao began to immerse himself in his creation.

He was still humming something to himself.

Luo Hui sat quietly on the sofa, thinking about the question that Gu Zhimiao had just asked.

After he entered the industry, he became particularly fascinated by the techniques of high notes and vibrato, because many listeners and fans thought that this was advanced, and the audience also liked this kind of technique that could be recognized at one listen.

But today Gu Zhimiao said that this was putting the cart before the horse.

Don't just pursue skills and forget the original intention of singing.

Luo Hui decided to correct his bad habits. Techniques can be used, but they should not be used indiscriminately.

Just like the song "Fake Monk", there is no need to worry about so many fancy transitions and high notes. Luo Hui still understands the principle of fullness leading to loss.

Why hasn't anyone pointed this out before?

Luo Hui himself didn't even think about how eccentric he was in the past. Who would dare to give him advice?

Wang Xiaoya found Studio No. 2 and saw Gu Zhimiao writing songs again. She felt helpless.

Gu Zhimiao has simply become a workaholic.

She thought that after Gu Zhimiao woke up, he was like a machine, writing songs non-stop. Was it because he was busy with work that he stopped having random thoughts?

But it was hard to tell how sad Gu Zhimiao was. He didn't cry, nor did he drink like before, but his behavior revealed an indescribable strangeness.

"Xiaoya, you're here! Can you help me call Shimin over?"

"it is good."

Soon, Wang Xiaoya pulled Long Shimin over.

Gu Zhimiao has already explained to Luo Hui: "Long Shimin is the composer we are attached to, and also my good friend. I asked her to compose the music of this song with you. I think you can learn from her style. But you can keep your ideas. Remember that learning is just learning, not that you have to accept everything!"

"I know."

Long Shimin walked in: "Ask me to compose music?"

Gu Zhimiao took her hand and said, "Yes, Shimin, I'll let Luo Hui learn from you, is that okay?"

"Why don't you look for Brother Zhou?"

"Brother Zhou has been taking care of Yan Mengying these past two days..."

"Um……"

Long Shimin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't have much to teach you, but we can learn from each other. I also want to learn Luo Hui's music style and singing skills."

Luo Hui stepped forward and held out his hand: "Then please give me more guidance, Teacher Long!"

Long Shimin stretched out her hand and shook it: "Same here."

"This song is called "The First Dream". Luo Hui can use it to get on the charts, and you can also sing it, Shimin. Believe me, different people can interpret this song in different ways."

Long Shimin nodded.

Gu Zhimiao said, "I will be leaving the day after tomorrow, so I'll have to trouble you for the next two days, Shimin."

"It's okay, there's no need to talk about this between us."

Long Shimin and Luo Hui got the lyrics of "The First Dream" written by Gu Zhimiao. After reading them, they were both quite touched.

[If you are proud, you will not be coldly photographed by the sea of ​​reality]

[How can you understand how hard you have to work to get far?]

[If the dream had not fallen off the cliff at the critical moment]

[How could you know that a persistent person has invisible wings]

……

Yes, who has not been beaten hard by the sea of ​​reality, who has not been whipped hard by the ruthless whip of society?

Luo Hui thought back to when he first debuted and sang seriously, but people in the company said that he had no singing skills and no characteristics at all, so he worked so hard to master the skills.

Long Shimin also thought about her days as a songwriter in recent years. Every time she thought she had written a good work, in the end it was not even qualified to be released from her company's music library, let alone be included in the charts.

Who knows how hard I have worked to get to where I am today?

Who knows the bitterness along the way?

[Hold the original dream tightly in your hand]

[The place I most want to go]

How can we return halfway?

Just by looking at the lyrics, Long Shimin knew that this song would be a big hit!

So inspiring!

What the market lacks now is this kind of songs, inspirational songs that inspire people to make progress and have positive energy.

Long Shimin’s vision was very accurate. Later, this song was included in the national music textbooks and popularized nationwide. Gu Zhimiao’s popularity increased significantly.

Of course, this is not the only song by Gu Zhimiao that was included in the national music textbooks, but that is a story for another time.

At the same time, Chen Jinghao had already packaged "My Heart Will Go On" written by Gu Zhimiao and related information and submitted it to director Daka's studio.

The studio's system automatically replied that the email had been received.

Just when Chen Jing was full of confidence, she received a reply email the next day.

The email stated that Gu Zhimiao's work was excellent, but they finally chose a better work, Christina's "Love", and also thanked Gu Zhimiao for his active participation.

In fact, the theme song for this movie had already been decided, and they just wanted to use this incident to undermine the confidence of contestants from various countries.

When the news spread in the company, all colleagues were angry.

"Such a beautiful song was not selected?"

“Is it that people abroad have different aesthetic tastes from us?”

At the same time, the news leaked out and became known online.

[What? Daka didn’t like Gu Zhimiao’s work]

[It’s incredible that Gu Zhimiao didn’t win the prize]

【Are you deaf? 】

[It is said that the work of Christina from the beautiful country, Love, was selected]

[The name of the work sounds very ordinary]

[There is a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy]

Juanlian Company responded quickly, and several executives immediately called for a meeting with Gu Zhimiao.

Gu Zhimiao said, "Manager Chen, please confirm with the other company to see if they don't want this song anymore."

"Okay, I'll call and confirm right away."

"If the other party confirms it, we will release the song immediately, without putting it on the charts, and charge 10 cents."

Wu Meili and Director Li from the Publicity Department nodded and said in unison, "Okay."

Gu Zhimiao continued, "Contact several overseas cooperation platforms. It would be best if this song could be released directly worldwide."

Wu Meili also said: "The publicity department should hire some internet trolls and marketing accounts to mainly fight on the external network and force Daka to bring out Christina's song "Love" so that everyone can listen to it and see who is better?"

Wu Meili has heard "My Heart Will Go On" and she really wants to hear what a better work than this song would sound like!

"it is good!"

Gu Zhimiao took the initiative to post an update.

@顾知喵: A new song for everyone. (Link)

She didn't say what the new song was, but everyone knew what it was when they clicked on it.

[Wow, this sounds so good]

[I'm tired of saying it's so nice]

[I want to perform a sliding kneel for Gu Zhimiao]

[It’s a really good song at a good price]

[Da Ka never knows what he has lost]

[I cried after hearing this~]

[How good is Christina's song? ]

The power of the masses is powerful.

Soon, Director Daka's social media account was hacked, and people posted links to Gu Zhimiao's new songs and lyrics under his account.

In addition, many domestic and foreign media also posted news at the same time, all boasting that Christina defeated the Chinese champion Gu Zhimiao, and that the song composed by Christina was chosen as the theme song for director Daka's new film.

However, Christina's work was not exposed, while Gu Zhimiao's new song was released worldwide.

This is all thanks to the plan laid out by Qiao Xingheng before his death. There are many companies overseas that played a huge role in this "battle".

After listening to Gu Zhimiao's song, netizens on the Internet expressed their opinions:

[Gu's song is so good, it makes me look forward to Christina's song]

[Christina is the best]

[My Heart Will Go On is so good. I am looking forward to Christina’s work.]

[Da Ka didn't choose this song, which shows that Christina is really amazing]

【I don’t know when it will be released? 】

Soon, Christina's own personal account and her company's account were flooded with requests for them to release the song.

Director Daka also quickly noticed this matter.

However, he did not notice this matter because of the comments on the Internet, but because Qiao Xingheng's brother, Qiao Xingheng, the president of the International Music Association, called him.

"Hey, Ka! Hello!"

Da Ka and Qiao Xingheng can also be considered friends: "Qiao! Long time no see!"

“I want to ask you, have you ever heard of “My Heart Will Go On”?”

"What? Is it your students' new song?"

Qiao Xingheng said, "No, it was the movie theme song that my brother's lover wrote for you. Unfortunately, your company chose Christina's song in the end."

Da Ka was a little confused: "What? I don't know about this, and I haven't heard of this song."

"Then go and listen to it! I believe you will like this song."

"it is good."

Da Ka clicked on the song link sent by Qiao Xingheng and connected it to his home speakers. When the prelude of the song came on, Da Ka burst into tears.

This song fits the theme so well.

The melody is simply beautiful.

The singer's singing seemed to bring him into a dream and into a movie.

He bought the script of "Ship" from China. When filming the movie, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement and no one knew what the specific story of the movie was about.

But this song is so perfect.

Da Ka called the studio and asked them to send him the song "Love" written by Christina. He planned to listen to both songs.

Everyone in the studio said that this song was better than Gu Zhimiao's, and he couldn't believe Qiao Xingheng's one-sided statement.

As a result, there is no harm without comparison. What kind of crappy songs are these?

Da Ka felt as if he had swallowed a fly, nauseous and uncomfortable. How could Christina's song be compared with "My Heart Will Go On"?

Although Gu Zhimiao's song has been released, Daka still doesn't want to let it go.

I immediately called the studio and said, "Sign this song. You must sign it."

Jim, who is in charge of the theme song at the studio, said, "We have already announced that Christina's song will be the theme song. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to sign Gu Zhimiao's song now?"

"And they have already released that song all over the internet."

"They also incited netizens to come to the account and make trouble..."

"Da Ka, we can't compromise."

Director Daka is really having a headache now.

He said: "Have you heard "My Heart Will Go On"? If you have heard it, you will know that you have to sign it. When the movie is released, Christina's song will be ridiculed, and the problem will be even more serious."

This is equivalent to laying a mine, and the box office may be affected by the theme song issue.

"Jim, I know you're working for the investors, but we can't lie with our eyes open. Normal people can tell the difference between good and bad music. Go listen to this song first, and then tell me whether you'll sign it later..."

Jim was persuaded by Da Ka.

He really hadn't heard the song, but the investor asked him to choose Christina's song. The rest of the invitations were just formalities, so he was only given three days to create the song.

He also didn't expect that Gu Zhimiao would give him the song in one day.

But I still replied to the message according to the established process. I didn't expect the Chinese to be so capable and make such a big deal out of it.

After Jim finished listening to Gu Zhimiao and Christina's songs, he had to admit that Da Ka was right.

The contrast is too obvious.

One is heaven, the other is earth, there is simply no comparison.

He also had to admit that Gu Zhimiao's song was really suitable.

But we can't offend the investors, after all, they still have to survive in the United States!

Jim went to discuss with Da Ka: "Daka, how about this? Sign Gu Zhimiao's song and make it the exclusive theme song for China, and use Christina's song for promotion in other countries."

Da Ka said it was impossible.

"No, if the song was in Chinese, you could still do this, but this is an Eagle language song, you can't do this."

"It's not easy to offend Christina!"

"Well, you gave me an idea. Sign Christina's song for exclusive use in the United States!"

Jim was in a state of panic: "Ah?! Are you sure?"

Da Ka said confidently: "I'm sure."

“What if the investor…”

"Just play 'My Heart Will Go On' for him and ask him if it sounds good..."

That’s where the strength of Gu Zhimiao’s song lies.

Jim had no choice but to do as he was told and sent a message to Gu Zhimiao's company, saying that he wanted to sign the song, even if it had already been released.

But the Juanlian Company refused to accept this!
