Dodo...mi...don!
Gu Jiahui suddenly pressed the piano keys. The composer who was described as one who supported half of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong in the 1970s was quite annoyed recently because of too many trivial matters.
He just finished compiling the lyrics that Huang Zhan sent yesterday, but he couldn't write the next soundtrack.
"Family Love" will be aired in a few days. This TV series is a 75-episode long drama starring Chow Yun-fat, Cheng Yu-ling and Simon Yam. Compared with other 20-30-episode TV series, in addition to writing the theme song, TVB also asked Gu Jiahui to write some soundtrack for the TV series.
Gu Jiahui has also encountered situations where he could not write anything before. In other words, all original creators will encounter this kind of thing.
So he forced himself to calm down, pack up his home and prepare to go out for a walk, and maybe he would be in a state when he came back to relax.
Dingling...
Just as Gu Jiahui was about to go out, the phone at home suddenly rang. When he went back to pick it up, he heard it, but it was his old partner Huang Zhan.
Huang Zhan's voice seemed quite excited on the phone, and said in a hurry: Jiahui, go and buy a "The Original Scenery of Hometown" to listen to it.
Is it the song Kang Jianfei played on TV?Gu Jiahui asked.
Huang Zhan said: It's that song, but Kang Jianfei produced a record of the same name, with a total of ten songs in it, and each song was very exciting.
Gu Jiahui used to only heard that "The Original Scenery of Hometown" was very nice in newspapers, but he had never heard of it with his own ears, so he had never commented on it.
Now his old partner Huang Zhan actually called him to buy that record, which shows that "The Original Scenery of Hometown" is indeed well-known.
Gu Jiahui became interested in the record that only heard the name but did not hear the sound. He closed the door and walked towards the nearby audio and video store.
The owner of the audio and video store is an acquaintance of Gu Jiahui. When he saw him come in, he smiled and said: Mr. Gu is here to select the album Ah again. We have a group of new European and American golden songs, as well as Japanese...
Before the boss could finish his words, Gu Jiahui interrupted him and said: Is there any "The Original Scenery of Hometown"?
As soon as these words came out, the owner of the audio-visual store became bitter and he sighed repeatedly.
Gu Jiahui said strangely: I just asked you if you have this record, why do you feel like someone owes money and refuse to pay it back?
"The Original Scenery of Hometown" originally had a small purchase volume. Who knew that pure music records without lyrics would be so easy to sell Ah. They sold out yesterday and have not yet been renewed.
The owner of the audio-visual store pointed inside, and said, the two of them had been waiting for a few hours, just waiting to buy "The Original Scenery of Hometown".
When Gu Jiahui heard this, he felt strange. Now that the trend of Mandarin songs in Hong Kong has faded, the Japanese pop music trend is still in the state of Cute. The most popular ones at the moment are the music of petty citizens represented by Xu Guanwen, as well as martial arts music represented by him and Huang Zhan, and even the love songs of Alan Tam and others have to stand aside.
And pure music and other things have almost no market in Hong Kong. Even if you can sell a thousand copies, even if you are blessed by the God of Wealth, this "The Original Scenery of Hometown" can be sold out!
The strong recommendation of old friends and the strong reaction of the market have made Gu Jiahui's curiosity about "The Original Scenery of Hometown" reach its peak.
After waiting for half an hour, a young man in his twenties rode a motorcycle and parked at the door of the audio-visual store, unloaded two cardboard boxes from the car and said: It’s arrived, “The Original Scenery of Hometown” has arrived!
Before the boss went out, Gu Jiahui and two other waiting customers had already surrounded him to help.
In the two cartons, one is a vinyl record and the other is a cassette tape.
Gu Jiahui was used to the sound of vinyl records, so he picked a record and rushed home quickly, and moved out of the record player to show it.
After listening to each song, Gu Jiahui completely forgot about his previous irritability, squinted his eyes and hugged his hands in the chair, gently patting the armrest with his fingers.
It was not until the whole record was finished and Gu Jiahui opened his eyes and found that it was getting dark. He quickly sat in front of the piano to write the music and he was going to have a song tomorrow.
Pressing his fingers on the piano keys, Gu Jiahui's mind was filled with the songs he had just heard, and the desolate and melodious sounds seemed to echo in his ears.
He stretched out his finger and played it for a while. Gu Jiahui wrote down the melody with his pen. After writing it, he turned around and played it. The more he listened, he became more and more familiar. He unknowingly wrote down a melody called "Song of Thanks" in the record "The Original Scenery of Hometown".
Gu Jiahui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Just like when the audience watched "Mr. Zombie" some time ago, they didn't want to watch other inferior movies anymore, the same is true for making music.
After the composer listens to a great piece, it is possible to be inspired to create a work that satisfies himself.
The more likely situation is that after hearing a beautiful melody, the emotions cannot come out of those melodies. No matter how you write, it will be someone else's melody or other people's style.
The so-called lingering sound lingers on the beams is like three days!
Gu Jiahui is in this state now. As a composer, Gu Jiahui has a deeper understanding of the record "The Original Scenery of Hometown" than ordinary people. Now his emotions have been immersed in it. Where can I write half of his melody?
If I had known it, I wouldn't listen. Gu Jiahui had no choice but to cover the piano.
After thinking about it, Gu Jiahui called Li Tiansheng, the producer of "Family Love", and he was about to tell him the truth.
Li Tiansheng just returned home from the crew. After receiving a call from Gu Jiahui, he thought he had written all the songs and said: Uncle Hui, just hand over the written songs to Xiao Liang in the production department tomorrow.
Gu Jiahui said: The theme song has been composed, but the soundtrack cannot be produced, at least it can't be written in the past few days.
Li Tiansheng was very surprised. Gu Jiahui never gave up on his pick like this and hurriedly said: Is something wrong?
Gu Jiahui said: I just heard the record "The Original Scenery of Hometown" and couldn't get out of my mood and couldn't write it.Even if I force it to write it, it is Kang Jianfei's style, and I don't want to do such a thing.
Li Tiansheng had no choice but to say: Then I'll go find someone else to write it.
Gu Jiahui said: Asheng Ah, I suggest you go to Kang Jianfei and use his songs as background music directly. The two songs "The Original Scenery of Hometown" and "Song of Thanks" are very suitable for the TV series "Family Love".
Looking for Kang Jianfei?Li Tiansheng was even speechless. TVB was still having a fuss with Oriental Dream Factory some time ago, and Ng Mengda is still working in Oriental Company.
Gu Jiahui said with certainty: If the plot of "Family Love" has 80 points, then after matching his song, it can reach at least 90 points.I'm serious!
If others say this, Li Tiansheng will definitely smile.
But Gu Jiahui is different. He and Huang Zhan have a very high status in TVB. They have worked together for the popular TV series Golden Songs that have been sung in recent years.
Gu Jiahui's words made Li Tiansheng call Fang Yihua with a tough bullet.
Fang Yihua has now taken most of the power of the TV station. When he heard Li Tiansheng’s statement, Fang Yihua just smiled faintly and said: Since Jiahui said so, then just listen to him, he is a professional.
After Fang Yihua hung up the phone, Li Tiansheng was still stunned. Why is Ms. Fang so easy to talk to?
In fact, there is no conflict between Oriental DreamWorks and TVB. At most, DreamWorks and Shaw Brothers have a competitive relationship.
Fang Yihua was so strong some time ago, but she was just for people inside the TV station to watch.After showing off your skills, you should naturally do whatever you want and do whatever you want.
Just this morning, Pan Yingzi just bought Wu Mengda’s contract for 50,000 yuan.
For TVB, Ng Mengda is worthless.
He owed hundreds of thousands of debts for bad gambling, and has become infamous inside and outside the circle.
In addition, this guy used to be late for gambling, and even left the show. He became a big shot when he became a little popular, offending the director and producer. No director of TVB is willing to let him play an important role.
Such a person sold him to Oriental Dream Factory for 50,000 yuan, and he treated him as waste.
……
Since "The Original Scenery of Hometown" was produced and distributed by Fengxing Records, Li Tiansheng sent his assistant director to Fengxing Records the next day when he could not contact Kang Jianfei by phone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Tiansheng's assistant director arrived, he found that Li Shi's people had come to the door.
TVB and Lishi are now in full swing. Some time ago, Lishi's first "Love of the Earth" "Home in the Pearl River" won the drama "Turning" starring many celebrities such as Adam Cheng, Cheng Yuling, Lee Siqi, Sensen, Lam Zixiang, Danny Chan and others, so that "Turning" only broadcasts 15 episodes, and then it was broadcast on Saturday because the ratings were too low.
The people who came from Lishi were the same as those sent by Li Tiansheng, who wanted to use the songs from Kang Jianfei's "The Original Scenery of Hometown".
TVB is to give "Family Love" soundtrack, while Lishi is to give "The Earth's Love" the second "Thunder in the Ancient Capital".
Although Kang Jianfei was not here, Deng Yiming, general manager of Fengxing Records, received them.
According to Kang Jianfei's wishes, Deng Yiming directly quoted the two of them and said: It's OK to use songs, but the money is calculated by seconds.The soundtrack is 10 yuan in 1 second, and the price is very reasonable. In the future, TV series will be sold as this, and movies will be more expensive.
It costs 10 yuan per second, and it is estimated that Kang Jianfei's song will be used in just one or two minutes. It costs less than 4,000 yuan per episode, which is indeed a very authentic price.
Both hostile TV stations were there, so naturally no one was willing to lose. After calling on the two sides, they agreed.
After they left, Deng Yiming wanted to laugh out loud.
In the past, he wanted to distribute records for two TV stations, but he knelt down and pleaded with him and ignored him. Now, after Deng Yiming quoted, the other party did not even have the qualification to bargain.
Whether it was Kang Jianfei or Deng Yiming, when he was producing "The Original Scenery of Hometown", he did not expect that this pure music record would cause such a big stir.
The two TV stations are rushing to buy the soundtrack, it is just the beginning!
Gu Jiahui suddenly pressed the piano keys. The composer who was described as one who supported half of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong in the 1970s was quite annoyed recently because of too many trivial matters.
