Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

"Are the current TV dramas so weird? It's a legendary story about the heroine growing up from a small housemaid to a royal concubine..." Zhao Lizhong was reading the next season's script at the production department, and found something was wrong. I took the script and turned it around—sure enough, I took the stack of costume dramas.

As for Zhao Lizhong, he generally does not review costume dramas: because he was too naughty when he was a child, he was sent abroad to study directly after finishing elementary school, so his Chinese and Chinese history levels are really not that good...

"I'm sorry, Second Young Master, this stack is the one!" The staff member who noticed the situation quickly changed the stack of scripts in front of him.

"It's okay, I just took it wrong myself... But I have a question, what is a house maid? Is there any difference from a maid?" Zhao Lizhong put the costume drama script in his hand aside.

"This question..." The staff member who was asked was also an old screenwriter in charge of polishing the plot. He immediately bit the holder of the writing brush in his hand, and talked to Zhao Lizhong about "Tongfang Maid" in a long and ancient manner. The origin of this noun develops.

"Oh, so it can be regarded as a mistress who can see the light..." Zhao Lizhong listened in a daze, and finally used his own words to summarize the modern conversion of these ancient and cumbersome systems: the main room is The eldest wife that the Ming media is marrying, the concubine and concubine are the numbered wives who are well-known under the old system, counting from the second, the housemaid is the mistress who has no name and no distinction but has been recognized by seeing the light, and the outer room is the outsider. A mistress who has no name, no distinction, and no light...

Seeing Zhao Lizhong's appearance of "I'm so witty" after reaching the corresponding conclusion, the old screenwriter sighed, turned around and continued to devote himself to the great cause of writing.

"Modern dramas are more suitable for me." Zhao Lizhong shook his head, and was about to pick out two scripts with pleasing names to read the content, when the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Hello? Susu? What are you looking for your second brother?" Zhao Lizhong picked up the phone, and he answered in a dawdly manner.

"Someone came to me and told me that Zhuang Long was called into the office by my mommy to talk alone, but I can't get away because I'm still recording here. Can you please help me to go and have a look?" Su Yun was on the other side of the phone. Said, "If there is something important, you can call me again, and I will try my best to adjust it and go over there."

"No problem, I'm free now, let me take care of it!" It was rare for Su Yun to ask him for help, and Zhao Lizhong, who felt that he owed Su Yun a lot of favors, immediately agreed.

Of course, it was said that it was on him, but when he actually wanted to act, Zhao Lizhong wandered around to find his eldest brother Zhao Liming.

Although Fang Mona asked someone to talk alone, it was usually about business, but when he thought of the gloomy look on Fang Mona's face after he "tipped off the news" before, he was somewhat afraid.

It feels much better to call one more person over: if it's just to talk about business, he can also learn how to sign a big-name artist; Uncles are amazing!

Hearing Zhao Lizhong's ingenious idea, Zhao Liming couldn't help pressing his forehead.

"Forget it, let me go with you." Although the younger brother has a clear mind, but if that guy Zhuang Long is really guarding himself... I will definitely let this dumb guy see how powerful my uncle is. !

So, with his elder brother behind him, Zhao Lizhong immediately went to the marketing department where Fang Mona was located, walking at a pace that no relatives would recognize.

As soon as they stepped into the door, the two uncles who were full of concerns immediately saw Zhuang Long, the target who seemed to need to focus fire, and Fang Mona politely sent him out.

"It seems that they are just discussing business matters this time." Zhao Liming breathed a sigh of relief: they have long wanted to sign Zhuang Long's contract with Xiangjiang.

However, Zhao Lizhong looked left and right, and felt that he had hallucinated something: I don’t know if it was affected by the long speech of the old screenwriter just now. In order to worry about the old mother for the restless prodigal at home, he secretly arranged for an older and knowledgeable housemaid...

No, this guess is too scary, he must be thinking too much!

Zhao Lizhong shook his head vigorously, and then pulled his elder brother who was temporarily relieved, and quietly retreated together.

On the way back, he called Su Yun again by the way, and after explaining that nothing major had happened, he reminded vaguely: "You've grown up now, so pay attention to the distance you communicate with, especially when you're with me next time." Zhuang Long still has a movie coming up..."

"Hahahaha why did you suddenly become so old-fashioned!" Su Yun smiled at him for a full 2 ​​minutes on the other side of the phone, and then responded carelessly, "Don't worry, John is more rigid and disciplined than me Too much, I don’t know if it’s because I have studied drama before so I pay special attention to the ethics of seniority, and I don’t look like a warrior who dares to go to Hollywood alone—hey, let’s not talk, it’s my turn to record soon.”

"In short, you listen to your second brother, you must be on the defensive!" Zhao Lizhong rushed to give Su Yun the last word before she hung up the phone.

On this side, Su Yun responded perfunctorily, then turned to look at the sound engineer: "I can do it here."

"Our side is fine." Mei Yanshuang turned her head and looked at Tan Yunlun, Zhang Querong and Chen Boyang who were squatting in a small circle to read the music score, and got the OK gestures from them After that, he followed suit.

This version of "HandInHand" has so many requirements on the singers, which is rare, but when they thought that it was used by Su Yun as the theme song for the Los Angeles Olympics next year, everyone let go of their thoughts of extravagance and waste.

For now, not to mention Xiangjiang, even the whole of China has not been able to release a song for the world, even if it is produced for the Olympics in other countries, and the main feature is English lyrics... But it doesn't matter, Su Yun is also prepared Both the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version of the lyrics will be recorded together during this time.

From the chorus version of "Perfect" to the youth version of Su Yun and Tan Zhangmei and Chen, all three languages ​​are recorded in English, Chinese and Cantonese. The task is not light.

After the recording was completed, the English version was sent to the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee to wait for the official release, while the Mandarin and Cantonese versions were also held in their hands, and they would be released simultaneously after the English version was released.

Although the Olympic Games have become more and more expensive these years, the four-year sports event can still attract a lot of attention, and the English version of this song is bound to be popular for a while after it is released. With this popularity, the Mandarin version and Cantonese version The version is absolutely not going anywhere.

Not to mention, the quality of this song is quite good - this can be seen from the fact that the first five singers of the older generation basically gave affirmative replies quickly after receiving the news and score.

Global orientation, internationalization, and the popularity of next year's first privately-run Olympic Games, combined with various factors, even if you can't play the main role but as part of the chorus, it can be called a rare opportunity.

Therefore, Su Yun's group this time went smoothly, but because of the schedule communication and adjustment of the older generation, they cannot gather in this recording studio for the "perfect" version of the chorus recording.

With the thought of not wasting money, Su Yun brought the three from her company and Tan Yunlun, who has little free time but is very loyal, to the recording studio to record the youth version of their chorus.

The current recording equipment does not have the multi-functional late-stage family barrels of the later generations. To record, it is a long section or even a whole song, and there are three language versions to record... No wonder the four people around her A young (lyricist) big forgetter with a not-so-good memory, even in the short time she makes a phone call, she has to form a pile of lyrics to memorize the lyrics.

After the five young people squatted in the big black room-like recording studio and recorded for several days, five "old" seniors who were highly respected in the music scene also stepped in one after another.

It has to be said that classic masterpieces are classic masterpieces. When Su Yun released the youth version they had recorded before for the seniors to listen to, the accompaniment prelude specially found the best orchestra in Xiangjiang to produce, it was already instantly attracted This group of seniors who can be called well-informed.

After a demo was played, a competition for good songs that is customary in the music world was performed directly in the recording studio.

Relying on the fact that he and Su Yun are father and daughter, and that his new record company, Kang Yi, gave him preferential treatment to release a new song with a heavy copy, Xu Gujie's authorization for the solo version of this song is With a sure-fire mentality: "Father and daughter, how about giving you and me some face, right?"

Luo Yun chose to show his strength and desire by displaying the achievements of the cooperation in the past: "Before you authorized me to sing the achievements of "Under the Lion Rock", you and I have seen it, and now it has become a representative song of Xiangjiang people. One, if you authorize me, I will never let you down."

Xu Raomeng used tenderness to get closer: "It's been a long time, Mary, before I remembered that you and Amei had performed on stage with me!"

Zhen Li is no more "related" than the previous three, but she has her own record company, so she thought about it carefully and expressed her sincerity to the greatest extent: "As long as this song is authorized to me, I will cooperate with Zhao Shi in the future." The cooperation of the subordinate companies will give the best discounts, and this time I don't need to share the share..."

Seeing a group of seniors who used to look up to the mountains surrounded Su Yun for a song, and sat down and memorized the lyrics contentedly until each of them had to obtain the authorization of their solo version, Tan Zhangmei, who was squeezed to one side, Chen The four looked at each other, and finally it was Mei Yanshuang who was the youngest and said: "Good songs are becoming more and more rare, we won't fight like them in the future, will we?"

"I can compose music myself, and I won't compete with you." Chen Boyang, who knew that he must be at the bottom of the food chain among the four, said loudly.

"Come on, with the way you love songs so much, if you really want to see a good song, you won't fight?" Tan Yunlun and Zhang Querong, both old acquaintances, waved their hands on the spot, "The big deal is like them, Everyone has their own version, the big deal is to find someone to fill in a few more versions of the lyrics..."

"Hey, if that's the case, I just got Susu's song as an episode of the next movie, so I don't need to fight with you for the time being." Mei Yanshuang said thoughtfully.

It’s okay if you don’t talk about it, but after talking about it, the other three people suddenly felt unbalanced, and screamed: "Why, every time Mary just prefers you, we are also her old friends who have known each other for many years It's gone!"

"Share! Take it out and share! Let's sing together, maybe it's suitable for us too!"

"That's right, we want to sing too!"

This is really not their nonsense: Although there has always been a difference between male and female keys in singing, Mei Yanshuang has a rare and low-pitched mezzo-soprano, so it is possible for her songs to be sung by male singers.

At worst, you can still sing with the key down—even if it's a little troublesome, you can't let Su Yun be too partial!

"Okay, everyone has been good brothers for so many years, and I don't want to be a lone eater!" Mei Yanshuang raised her hand, and took out the song "Bad Girl" that Su Yun gave her last night and slapped it on the table, "Come on You said it yourself, everyone sing together!"

After seeing the title and lyrics of the song clearly, the three of Tan, Zhang and Chen who had been shouting happily before were instantly as quiet as chickens.
