Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

But the name of this song made her eyes light up.

"Men should strengthen themselves"!

Great name, very eye-catching.

Wu Lan took this piece of paper with slightly scrawled handwriting and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

What a great song.

The atmosphere is vigorous and full of the charm of ancient Chinese music.

After reading it carefully twice, he raised his head and asked: "Dongqing, the melody of your song has the flavor of ancient Chinese music. I seem to have heard it somewhere. Also, the name of the song "Men Should Be Strong" should be taken from Wang Wang of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhu's "Prodigy Poems":

“Being a farmer in the morning, ascending to the Emperor’s Hall in the evening;

Generals have no seeds at all, and men should strive for self-improvement. "

"Mr. Wu, you are right. The name of the song does come from here. As for the music score, it is from the ancient Chinese song "General's Order", with just a slight adaptation."

Men should strive for self-improvement and general orders?

Lu Yongru, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately became interested when he heard these words. This is very consistent with the concept of the TV series he filmed.

He once worked as a film sound effects designer and also knew a little bit about songwriting. Now after listening to the conversation between the two, he suddenly felt itchy and couldn't help but said: "Director Wu, can you let me have a look?"

Wu Lan handed him the letter. Lu Yongru read the lyrics carefully and clapped his thigh excitedly: "Mr. Wu, Dongqing, let's talk about the lyrics without talking about the music. The writing is really great and exciting. This song I want the song!”

"Director Lu, you will like the song even more when you listen to it." Wu Lan smiled.

Upon hearing what Wu Lan said, Lu Yongru couldn't wait to ask Yu Dongqing to sing a cappella for him to listen to, and Yu Dongqing had no choice but to do as he wished.

Lu Yongru was even more excited when he heard it, and kept saying, "Good song, good song."

"Mr. Wu, Dongqing, please work harder on the arrangement and strive to achieve the most perfect state." Lu Yongru said at last.

When it comes to arrangement, Yu Dongqing put forward his own opinion: "I suggest that this song should not be arranged with software accompaniment. It is best to use a well-known folk orchestra to accompany it, so as to achieve the desired effect."

Famous folk band?

The most famous folk orchestra in China is undoubtedly the China National Traditional Orchestra!

Of course, it was a national-level orchestra that ordinary people couldn't afford to hire, let alone providing the soundtrack for a TV series' theme song?

It is estimated that the boss of Jinye Records may not be able to hire him!

However, Lu Yongru was quite confident: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I'm going to find the China National Traditional Orchestra! I can't invite you. I still have Director Jin and Chairman Zhang. Haha, I have to give them some thin noodles." Bar."

Since Lu Yongru is full of confidence, the matter is settled like this. Yu Dongqing first arranged the music and then gave it to the orchestra to perform.

Back in his office, Yu Dongqing took a sip of tea, turned on the computer and started working.

On the one hand, he found the performance audio of the song "General's Order", and on the other hand, he recalled the arrangement of the song in that time and space, and combined the two.

"General's Order" originated from the royal music of the Tang Dynasty and has been circulated for more than a thousand years. There are many kinds of music scores and performance forms. There are mainly three types of music: dulcimer music, guzheng music, and wind and percussion music.

The arrangement of "Men Should Be Strong" is based on wind and percussion music.

This performance method comes from the folk of southern Jiangsu. The two big suonas of "General's Order" play the melody, accompanied by "big gongs and drums" to exaggerate the majestic style, and use the long call to strengthen the momentum.

However, based on the original version of time and space, Yu Dongqing added flutes, shengs, horns, etc. to enhance the melody color. The percussion instruments include the tuned "ten-sided gong" and the bass gong (sea gong). This makes the band's tone richer and its expressiveness greatly enhanced.

After deleting, deleting, and revising repeatedly, Yu Dongqing spent a whole day, and by the time he got off work in the afternoon, he finished the arrangement of the entire track and sent it to Wu Lan's mailbox.

Stretched and took a sip of tea.

I can finally rest

The subsequent work has nothing to do with him.

But Wu Lan called quickly and said she had something to discuss with him and asked him to go to her office, so Yu Dongqing had no choice but to go upstairs.

As soon as he knocked on Wu Lan's office door, he saw Fang Jinsong rushing in angrily. He was also looking for Wu Lan.

Fang Jinsong was very unhappy today.

In the afternoon, I suddenly received news that the theme song of the same name he wrote for the TV series "Martial Arts Heroes" was suddenly withdrawn, saying that it would no longer be used, but another song written by Yu Dongqing!

Fang Jinsong was angry!

Isn't this a joke?

I forgot all about food and sleep and wrote it for almost a week, and finally came up with a song that I was very satisfied with. At first, you all said that it was a good song, and it was played as the opening theme song of the TV series. However, only a month later, you changed your mind.

Isn’t this a slap in the face of my Fang Jinsong? !

So when he saw Yu Dongqing present, he didn't say hello. He turned to Wu Lan with a livid face and asked, "Director Wu, what do you mean? Since you have already used the song I wrote, why did you change it at will?! Is this Yu Dongqing? Are the songs written by Dongqing so awesome?! Or is it because you are alumni and take care of everything?!"

Of course Wu Lan didn't like this tone of voice, and her face turned cold.

"Fang Jinsong, you can judge for yourself whether his writing is good or not!" After saying this, Wu Lan turned on the computer, and a majestic song suddenly hit her face.

Fang Jinsong's face turned pale instantly.

He couldn't write this kind of music with a strong ancient music style, but it happened to be so close to this TV series.

He seemed to see the protagonist's appearance and the explosive scene.

"Look at these lyrics again!"

Wu Lan's tone was cold, showing no mercy to the other party.

Fang Jinsong took the letter and glanced at it, he was as weak as an eggplant beaten by frost.

I originally thought that the lyrics of the song I wrote were also very popular, but compared with the lyrics of this song, they are obviously not more than one level behind.

Suddenly, he felt that his anger just now was very ridiculous.

He looked at Yu Dongqing, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking tea, and suddenly thought of an allusion from the Three Kingdoms:

"How can one be bright when one is born with excellence?"

In fact, in the eyes of others, I am not even the Zhou Yu who was angry to death, right?

Fang Jinsong said nothing more, silently turned around and walked out the door, his back bleak.

"Wait. Jinsong."

Yu Dongqing, who had been silent just now, suddenly stopped him.

Fang Jinsong suddenly turned around and stared at Yu Dongqing, clenching his fists and looking pale.

I have already admitted that I am not as good as you, do you still want to insult me? !

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!

Unexpectedly, Yu Dongqing did not continue speaking, but turned to look at Wu Lan.

"Mr. Wu, I have a suggestion."

"Oh, tell me."

"Actually, I think the song written by Jinsong is quite good. Both the music and the lyrics are very suitable for this TV series. How about this, my song is used as the opening song, and his is used as the ending song?"

Yu Dongqing's suggestion was beyond Fang Jinsong's expectation, and she stared at him blankly.
