Chapter 88
For a long time!
Director Xu stood beside the desk, holding an A4 paper, just looking at it, not saying anything, not expressing any opinions, and not asking him to give up his seat. Chen Xi didn't want to interrupt, so he just sat on the sofa first!
Director Xu was reading the lyrics word by word, sentence by sentence. Then he followed the tune again, frowning for a while, and then relaxing.
After about 20 minutes, Director Xu recovered, and when he saw Chen Xi sitting on the sofa by himself, he also sat opposite Chen Xi in deep thought!
"Hmm…"
Director Xu hummed, then stopped talking.
He rubbed his hands for a while.
"Come on, Chen Xi, let's go to Old He's place."
After saying that, he stood up, and Chen Xi followed suit.
In fact, Chen Xi's original intention was to find Director He, but it was not appropriate to bypass Director Xu, after all, he was his direct superior!
Director Xu took the lead, but he was not complacent, but a little cautious!
When he arrived at the publicity and promotion office, Director Xu knocked on the door, and only opened the door and walked in after hearing the response from inside.
Director He looked up and saw Xu Sheng and Chen Xi, and spoke first,"Chen Xi, I need to discuss your salary with you, and then let the Finance Department……"
"Lao He, take a look at Chen Xi's song!" Director Xu said as he handed over two A4 papers.
Director He took the A4 papers and said to himself while looking at them,"Because your salary……"
Suddenly he stopped talking!
He looked at the A4 paper for a while, glanced at Chen Xi, turned to the second sheet, looked at it for a while, and then looked at Chen Xi again.
"Chen Xi, did you write this?"
This song is different, the melody is sonorous and powerful, the lyrics are not only majestic, but also frighteningly detailed!
Director He confirmed the place names that appeared in the lyrics, Jingji, Jiulongbi, Forbidden City, Shenwumen, and suddenly found that the rhyme was a bit wrong!
I didn't hear what Chen Xi said clearly, and confirmed the rhyme again. The main part of the verse rhymes with"i", and the chorus rhymes with"in" and then gradually"ing"!
Earth, glass, move, rise, ice, heart, listen, quiet!
Even the end of these sounds is not pressed. en, un, eng! Men, Hun, Geng, Kun, still have different levels and distinct strengths!
What kind of magical lyrics are these? Director He was secretly shocked! Was this written by Chen Xi?
Director He doubted it, but the facts were in front of him!
Director Xu looked at Director He who fell into deep thought after asking the question, and did not ridicule him. He was also shocked by the majestic lyrics, faith, fearlessness and sense of mission. The lyrics alone were full of power!
He did not doubt Chen Xi, nor did he discover the intention of the rhyme. He was just shocked to see such good lyrics. The words of praise were too vulgar and a bit unsuitable for the song.
He Nanting took a deep breath. He asked Chen Xi in a doubtful tone just now. He shouldn't have!
He was a little out of control and did not hear Chen Xi's response clearly. He looked at Chen Xi and changed the way of questioning.
"Chen Xi, what kind of singer do you think can sing this song?"An incoherent sentence!
Director Xu also looked at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi felt Director He's doubts, but at this point, he had to ask for it.
"First of all, the voice must be clear, stable, high-pitched and loud!"
Director He nodded,"Yes, and it must be powerful and grand!"
Chen Xi also nodded, and recalled in his mind,"The image should be better, and the appearance should be more elegant."
Director He thought for a while before answering, and continued to ask questions
"Elegant? Recording history and promoting culture, songs are people, and elegance also symbolizes Chinese civilization, but what is a better image? Clothing or temperament?"It's a bit too much to even require singers to look good.
"Image..., image means no stains or bad deeds. If it's not too excessive..., it's OK."Chen Xi knew that his request seemed a bit off, but he had the most suitable candidate in mind.
"Okay, I will start from these points to find a suitable singer for the company!"Director He was a little confused, but he still agreed.
"OK, Director He, thank you for your help! I'm going back to the composition department first," Chen Xi said goodbye to Director He who was looking at the lyrics again.
Director He looked up and smiled,"Okay, you go first!"
Forget about the salary!
Chen Xi handed another simple score in his hand to Director Xu and returned to the composition department.
Director Xu stayed.
After such a long time, Director Xu has regained his composure and deliberately stayed to show off,"Old He, just tell me what you think?"
"What how?"
"We are from the composition department! I don't even want to say anything about your expression just now."
Director He knew that he had lost his composure a little bit just now. Hearing Director Xu's tone, he thought that what Chen Xi wrote seemed normal, and that Old Xu must know some inside information, so he asked,
"Lao Xu, when did Chen Xi write this song?"
"I don't know what time it was, but I went to the composition department early this morning and saw Chen Xi holding the printed music score."
"Did he tell you how to write it? Director He wondered.
"I didn’t say that!" Director Xu said casually.
Director He felt a little dizzy,"Where did Chen Xi go during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
"How would I know where he went?"
……
Director He is now even more confused. You don't know anything, but you are so confident.
Don't worry about it for now, let's find someone!
"Old Xu, go to the Copyright Department to register in person. I will arrange some things here.
Seeing He Nanting so serious, Director Xu stopped showing off and went to ask Chen Xi for the electronic version of the music score.
Director He looked at the simple score again, took out his mobile phone, and called Qin Feng, the director of the Artist Department.…
……
Lingzhou, Nian'an Society.
The June sun is warm.
Xiao Shiqing sat on a rattan chair in the main courtyard early in the morning to bask in the sun. Ning Jing also returned to the theater on the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival with a firm attitude. Xiao Shiqing didn't say anything more.
The theater was filled with the sounds of voice training, ah-ha, hey-hou, and Chang Yuanyi strolled around to give instructions. This was the life he wanted.
He has turned down several invitations to perform outside in the past two days, and his own theater is already too busy! Walking to the corridor, he met Ning Jing who had just finished voice training, and the two walked into the main courtyard together.
Seeing the master sitting on the rattan chair, Chang Yuanyi nodded. Although Yunxin is a little naughty, he is still very reassuring when doing things!
Filial piety comes first!
The two had just greeted the master when Xiao Yuanpeng led Chang Yunxin into the main courtyard aggressively!
Xiao Yuanpeng's face was ugly, and Chang Yunxin felt a little weak when he saw Chang Yuanyi!
The two men greeted their master first, and Chang Yuanyi then greeted his father and uncle respectively, and then quickly stood away, fearing that they would be affected!
"Chang Yuanyi, why don't you let me sing?" Xiao Yuanpeng stared at Chang Yuanyi.
Xiao Shiqing and Ning Jing also looked at Chang Yuanyi in confusion.
Chang Yuanyi glanced at his son and sighed. He would have to tell him sooner or later anyway!
He bowed to Xiao Shiqing first.
"Master, this is what happened. Last night, Director Ji of the Lingzhou Tourism Bureau called me and asked us to perform as many clips of Peach Blossom Fan and Peony Pavilion as possible.…"
"Why?" Xiao Yuanpeng got even angrier.
Chang Yuanyi was also helpless,"Tourists are attracted by"Chi Ling" and Yuan'an County. Compared with Beijing dialect, tourists prefer to listen to Kunqu performances related to"Chi Ling". Director Ji was very polite and kept apologizing. He was also doing it for the good of Lingzhou."
Xiao Yuanpeng got anxious when he heard it,"I have been on this stage for more than 50 years. Why should I listen to him..."
Xiao Shiqing waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Yuanpeng,"Do as Director Ji says..." As long as it helps to promote Yuan'an County, Xiao Shiqing will do his best!
Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned to Ning Jing again,
"Jing'er, you have made a great contribution to our opera!
Ning Jing quickly replied,"This is all Chen Xi's credit, I am just a singer!"
Xiao Shiqing thought about the incredible young man and showed a bitter smile on his face.
For the first time, Xiao Yuanpeng seriously thought about the young man who made him extremely repulsive and disgusted, Chen Xi!
Xiao Shiqing spoke, and the matter was settled!
……
Xingguang Entertainment.
Publicity Department.
Upon learning of Director He's request, Director Qin Feng of the Artist Department provided information on five male singers and the grand and heroic songs they had sung.
Director He checked the information, more than 20 songs, and listened to them for a whole morning!
A feeling of powerlessness came over him! Such a good song, is there no one who can sing it?
He Nanting recalled what Chen Xi said in the morning.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind!
