Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 944 Private Ryan, in the name of his father

Several other judges also expressed their guesses, and none of them exceeded [-]%.

Zhang Xiao looked at Yang Mi and said, "Honey, tell me, how much is it?"

"5.00% point four one!" Yang Mi said.

Zhang Xiao said lightly: "Impossible, such a small ratings, I am sorry for my participation in this program."

Yang Mi smiled and said, "Are you so confident?"

"Of course!" Zhang Xiao said, "If a person is not confident, then he is doomed."

Xie Xiaonan said, "Mimi, how much is it?"

Yang Mi sighed, turned on the text message on her phone, and said, "It's [-] percent."

"I rely on!"

"how can that be?"

"This is too high!"

"I bet this rating is definitely the highest rating in recent years."

"No, because we have another issue."

"···"

After hearing that the ratings were so high, everyone was very happy.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "I'll just say it, Yin Sen, it's up to you to behave."

Ethan said helplessly: "It seems that I am the stupidest person here."

After speaking, Ethan picked up the wine glass and drank two glasses directly.

"it is good!"

Seeing Ethan's pride, everyone applauded him.

After drinking and eating, everyone dispersed.

Back home, Zhang Xiao turned on his phone and looked at it. Good guy, both he and "The Lonely Brave" were on the hot search list, and they were in the top two.

The comment area is almost all positive reviews.

"Xiao Shen's sale is really extraordinary."

""The Lone Brave" is really nice to listen to."

"Actually, Mao Buyi's "Borrow" tonight is also very good, but unfortunately, compared with Xiao Shen's "The Lonely Brave", there is still a big gap."

"In the past two years, there have been many talented singers, all of whom are very bullish, but their masterpieces are really rubbish."

"I don't know what kind of song Xiao Shen will sing in the next competition. I'm really looking forward to it."

"The rivalry between Xiao Shen and Mimi sister almost killed me laughing."

"Because of Xiao Shen and sister Mimi, this episode of the show is much better."

"The program team posted on Weibo, the highest audience rating reached 5000%, and the live broadcast room also exceeded [-] million."

"This is Xiao Shendai's influence!"

"···"

After Zhang Xiao's singing, "The Lonely Brave" has almost become a well-known song in this world.

Many departments even use it as their own exclusive song.

After "The Lonely Brave", Zhang Xiao was about to start thinking about the next work. He was going to sing a song that was different from all the previous works. After searching for a long time, he finally exchanged for a song, the masterpiece of the previous Jay Chou.

Of course, in this world, Jay Chou has never sung this song.

Just when Zhang Xiao was concentrating on making music, Zhang Yimou called.

"Zhang Xiao, the post-production work on "Saving Private Ryan" has been completed."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Director Zhang, congratulations, where is the finished film? I want to see it first."

Zhang Yimou said: "I have brought it to the company, if you have time, you can take a look together."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhang Xiao replied.

Coming out of the recording studio, Zhang Xiao saw that Yang Mi was getting dressed and seemed ready to go out, so he asked, "Honey, why are you going?"

Yang Mi said: "Just now the company called and said "Saving Private Ryan" is out, I want to go to the company to see."

"Let's go, then let's go together." Zhang Xiao said.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi came to Sunny Entertainment Company.

Walking into the office, I saw Reba, Zhang Yimou and others drinking tea.

Zhang Xiao asked: "Are you waiting for us?"

"Yes!" Reba nodded, and said, "We originally wanted to go directly to the theater, but Director Zhang insisted on waiting for you to come and watch together."

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "The script of "Saving Private Ryan" was written by Zhang Xiao, of course I hope he can give me some advice."

In fact, in the post-production of "Saving Private Ryan", Zhang Yimou often asked Zhang Xiao for advice.

Zhang Xiao also watched more than ten parts, which are very good.

It's just a comprehensive film, he hasn't seen it yet.

"Director Zhang, it seems a bit late to make an opinion now!" Zhang Xiao joked with a smile.

Zhang Yimou said: "It's not too late, I can still refine it."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "If that's the case, then let's go together!"

Everyone came to the company's small theater.

Except for a few of them, Yang Mi didn't let anyone in, so as not to see too many people and cause leaks.

It can also be seen from this that Yang Mi attaches great importance to "Saving Private Ryan".

After two and a half hours, the movie ended.

The staff came in and turned on the lights.

None of the people watching the movie got up. After a while, Zhang Xiao took the lead in applauding.

"Clap clap clap!"

Yang Mi, Reba, Chen Daoming, and Li Xuejian all came to their senses and clapped their hands together.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Everyone, this is not the premiere, so there is no need to be so polite."

Chen Daoming praised: "Saving Private Ryan deserves everyone's applause."

Yang Mi said: "The best war movie is an anti-war movie. Obviously, "Saving Private Ryan" is this kind of movie."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, if the full score is [-], how much would you give?"

"Over 9.5 points." Chen Daoming said without hesitation.

Li Xuejian echoed, "I agree."

Yang Mi said: "Teachers, your scores are worthless, right? This is related to our publicity costs."

Li Xuejian said: "I really think so. Director Zhang is amazing. He has made a masterpiece with a sense of history. It can definitely hit various awards in major film festivals around the world."

Seeing that his film was recognized by both Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian, Zhang Yimou was very happy, and quickly said: "A good script can make a good movie. It is not me, but Zhang Xiao who is really good."

Reba touched Zhang Xiao and asked, "Brother-in-law, how much do you score?"

"Full marks!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Director Zhang's finished film is much better than I imagined, especially the texture of the picture and the appeal of the story, which can be rated as the best in the world."

"Director Zhang, I knew you were very suitable for shooting this kind of movie."

Zhang Yimou said: "To be honest, I really had a lot of inspiration for this movie during the creation process."

Zhang Xiao said: "Then you can make some war-themed movies about our country in the future, such as the battle with the Lighthouse Country, it would be very good."

Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment, and said, "I will think about it carefully."

Yang Mi said: "These are things in the future, my husband, Director Zhang, I plan to increase the promotional cost of "Saving Private Ryan" to 8000 million US dollars, what do you think?"

Zhang Yimou said excitedly, "That's great."

Zhang Xiao frowned, and said: "Too few, "Saving Private Ryan" is a rare war movie, we must do our best to promote it."

"Let's do this, spend all 8000 million US dollars abroad, and spend another 4000 million US dollars domestically."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Zhang Yimou was going crazy.

With [-] million US dollars for publicity, he has never had such a good treatment.

Yang Mi said: "The production cost of "Saving Private Ryan" is 3.5 million U.S. dollars, plus the [-] billion U.S. dollars in promotional expenses, that's [-] million U.S. dollars. It needs a billion-dollar box office to break even."

Zhang Xiao stretched out five fingers and said, "I think the global box office of this movie should be able to reach 50 billion US dollars."

"I rely on!!"

Hearing this, everyone let out an exclamation in unison.

Even Zhang Yimou didn't expect that Zhang Xiao would be so optimistic about this movie.

Yang Mi said: "Since you are so confident, let's make it $[-] million."

After the matter was settled, Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Teachers, do you have time in the evening? It's been a long time since we got together, how about we get together today and have a drink?"

"Okay!" Chen Daoming nodded.

Both Zhang Yimou and Li Xuejian agreed.

Zhang Xiao looked at Yang Mi and asked, "Who else is in the company?"

Yang Mi shrugged her shoulders and said, "No, our company has invested in more than ten films recently, and everyone is filming outside."

Zhang Xiaodao: "You have invested in so many dramas in one go, Boss Yang, do you have the money to burn them?"

Yang Mi said: "We only lead four, and the others are all joint investments with other companies. Otherwise, where can Sunny TV and Sunny Video get enough resources?"

"Okay, you are the boss in this matter, you have the final say." Zhang Xiao curled his lips.

Soon, everyone came to a five-star hotel and started drinking.

After three rounds of wine and delicious food, Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Zhang Xiao, when "Saving Private Ryan" is publicized, can you come forward and participate in the next event? After all, you are the screenwriter of this play."

Zhang Xiao thought for a while, looked at Yang Mi and asked, "'Mimi, when is the premiere of Saving Private Ryan?"

Yang Mi said: "The company will hold a meeting to discuss this matter tomorrow. The only thing that can be determined now is that we will definitely choose the best time slot."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Fuck, that's troublesome, Tibetan knife, I may need to see the filming of "Fighting Knife" to make a decision."

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let's talk about the promotion, but you must attend the premiere."

"This is no problem." Zhang Xiao nodded.

···
After the release of "Saving Private Ryan" was confirmed, Zhang Xiao didn't care about it anymore.

Soon, the "Original Song Contest" began.

This is the last game, and the next game is the finals, where the [-] advanced players will compete against each other.

Compared with the previous game, the level of this game is obviously not as good, and the highest score is only nine points.

Because of Zhang Xiao's existence, even if the player's level is not good, the TV ratings and Internet hits are still frighteningly high.

After the eight contestants finished singing, it was finally Zhang Xiao's turn.

"I wonder what song Xiao Shen will sing this time?"

"The first eight songs are just too unbearable to listen to."

"Except for the song that got a nine, everything else is rubbish."

"I hope Xiao Shen can write a divine comedy like "The Lonely Brave" again."

"Shen Xiao's product must be a high-quality product."

"···"

Barrages are flying all over the Internet, and everyone is full of expectations for Zhang Xiao's new song.

Zhang Xiao stepped onto the stage, Xie Xiaonan asked: "Zhang Xiao, what song are you preparing today? Can you introduce it to us?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The name of the song is "In the Name of the Father"! The title of the song is very special. If I can describe it in one sentence, I would say that this song is full of dark tones and combines Western RAP of musicals!"

Xie Xiaonan said: "Hearing what you said, I think everyone is looking forward to this song "In the Name of the Father"."

"Come on, let's listen together."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then he stood in front of the microphone and nodded to the instrument group, a scalp-numbing voice resounded throughout the studio.

AveMariagraziaricevutaperlamiafamiglia!
Conrisentitoconunamorevoledivinoamen!
Grazie chiedo ate osignored ivino!
"```"

"In the Name of the Father" begins with a long monologue in Italian, which uses a technique similar to that of a curtain call.

Zhang Xiao's voice is a bit like chanting scriptures, the speed is fast, full of weirdness and heaviness, with the addition of retro pianos, strings and steel pipes, the atmosphere is even more depressing.

Liu Huan's back had left the back of the chair, his ears were pricked up, and his face was full of shock.

He never dreamed that someone would write such a prelude.

Several other judges and teachers also opened their mouths, their eyes fixed on Zhang Xiao on the stage.

Ethan murmured, "Is this a song? It's been a minute since the prelude."

"It's so special." Yang Dong said: "The Italian monologue in front of it set the tone of the whole song."

After the one-and-a-half-minute prelude ended, the music completely turned into an opera melody.

"Ah~~~"

"Ah~~~"

"Ah~~~"

Zhang Xiao is like a sea monster singing loudly, three 'Ah! The words are all bel canto from opera, and the tones are higher and higher, which heightens the atmosphere to the limit and makes people's scalps go numb.

"I rely on"

"Awesome, I give full marks to this prelude."

"Shen Xiao's songs have never disappointed people."

"I feel like 'In the Name of the Father' is going to be a classic."

"Shen Xiao's song, which one is not a classic?"

"···"

Finally came the verse part.

Zhang Xiao started his RAP!

"The cool morning dew wets the black dress;"

"'The pavement is foggy, the father murmurs;'"

"Helpless awareness can only be more cruel;"

"Everything is for the road to the sanctuary!"

"The fog that cannot be blown away hides the intention;"

"Who stops by pacing softly, there is no time to cry!"

"The bullet that passes through takes away the temperature!"

"···"

Different from Jay Chou in his previous life, Zhang Xiao's rapping words are clear, even though the speed is already extremely fast, he can still accurately send people's ears along with the melody.

And the best thing is undoubtedly that the lyrics of "In the Name of the Father" are very lofty, and it is many times stronger than ordinary rap songs.

"Each of us is guilty;"

"With different sins, can I decide who is right?",

"Who should sleep;"

"Arguments cannot be settled in endless nights;"

"Shut your mouth, the only favor!"

"Anyone standing in front is guilty!"

"Regret has no way out;"

"Judge in the name of the Father;"

"It feels like there is no suitable vocabulary;"

"It's like laughing and crying;"

"gazing at utter blackness;"

"Stopping tragedy from spreading to tragedy makes me intoxicated."

"···"

This section of rapping is completely different from the singing style of the previous section, and the moans are deeper, full of a strange appeal.

And the lyrics are as deep as ever.
