Chapter 164 Discussing the Theme Song of the New Year Drama of the Three Kingdoms

The recording of the No.11 Singer Breakout Competition of "The Voice" is over.

Five singers including Li Caiwei, Xie Yuwen, and Xu Xinyu successfully broke through and advanced to the final "Battle of the King of Singers".

In addition to Fang Xing, Liu Hongsheng and Zhong Yuanxun who advanced ahead of schedule, a total of eight singers broke into the finals of "The Voice of Songs".

The breakout match of No.11 of "The Voice" was just recorded and not broadcast.

However, the singers who have advanced to the finals have already been notified by the program group to start preparing for the finals.

Therefore, all singers who have advanced to the finals have received the competition theme and competition rules for the finals.

After receiving the rules for the finals, Songshi Records immediately convened all departments to discuss the strategy for the finals.

This morning.

Fang Xing arrived at the company for the meeting on time, and Li Caiwei also arrived early.

This time, she successfully broke through and entered the finals, and she also attached great importance to the finals.

After everyone arrived, Qiao Yinghong first explained the rules of the finals:

"According to the rules given to us by the program group, there will be two rounds of competition in this finals.

"The first round of competition is a two-two duel, and guests will help sing. There is no limit to the guests, as long as they meet the regulations of radio and television.

"The theme of the first round of competition is 'Dust of History', and it is not easy to sing about the weight of history with this theme.

"After the first round of two-two duels, the winner will enter the final championship battle, and the loser will be eliminated.

"So, in the second round of the championship battle, there will be four singers competing to perform. It is no longer a two-two duel, but singing in turn. In the end, the audience votes to determine the champion, runner-up and third place.

"The rules for the second round of the championship battle are more relaxed, there is no requirement for the theme of the competition, and you can sing anything.

"Therefore, in the second round of the championship battle, it is foreseeable that each singer will come up with their most emotional songs."

Liang Yusong looked at Fang Xing and asked, "Do you have any thoughts about 'Dust of History'? If not, the company still has a few historical drama songs that fit the theme, which can be considered."

Fang Xing didn't expect that the theme of the competition would be this, so after thinking about it, he said:

"Actually, I prepared a song that fit this theme, but this song was originally intended to be the theme song for Shen Jilin's Three Kingdoms series.

"If you want to save this song and use it in the "Singing" competition, Shen Jilin's side will be fine."

As soon as Liang Yusong heard it, he became interested: "Don't worry, we can talk to Shen Jilin and see if we can get along well."

Fang Xing nodded, and said: "It's also a way, then let's talk to Shen Jilin as soon as possible. Make a decision as soon as possible, so that you have time to practice singing."

This time it really happened by coincidence.

The theme song originally planned for the opening drama of the Three Kingdoms could just happen to be used in "Song".

However, Shen Jilin's Three Kingdoms drama may not agree to this request.

Therefore, this matter has to be discussed.

If Shen Jilin disagrees with the theme song of the Three Kingdoms, he will sing it on "Song".

Then the problem is coming.

Is it the priority to keep "Song"?

Or give priority to keeping Shen Jilin's Three Kingdoms opening drama?
……

Qiao Yinghong moved very quickly, and sent the song demo to Shen Jilin and the Three Kingdoms crew on the same day, and asked them to meet and chat the next day.

That afternoon, Shen Jilin agreed to meet and talk the next day.

Obviously interested in this song.

The next morning.

The meeting place was arranged in Donghai, because the Three Kingdoms crew is in the post-production here in Donghai.

So, Shen Jilin flew over from Kyoto.

Shen Jilin is now the director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, so it is not suitable to meet at the hotel, so I made an appointment directly at the headquarters of Songshi Records.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Jilin and the Three Kingdoms production team arrived at Songshi Records. Qiao Yinghong personally greeted them at the door, and greeted them warmly while inviting them to the big conference room.

After everyone arrived, Qiao Yinghong first introduced something: "Hi everyone, let me introduce the producer of this song, Fang Xing."

Shen Jilin looked at the crew and cheered and said, "You know me? "Song of the Seven Sons" and "The Story of Young China" have already been spotted by the director team of the Spring Festival Gala. If you can pass the rehearsal, you will be able to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala."

The Three Kingdoms crew is in the late stage of intensive production, so they may not recognize it.

However, after hearing what Shen Jilin said, they all knew that the young man in front of him had something.

Moreover, they have heard the demo of the song, and they all think it is very suitable as the theme song of a TV series.

The late director was impatient, so he got right to the point: "How much budget does this song need?"

Liang Yusong interjected: "There is no rush, there is one thing that needs to be discussed first."

As soon as Shen Jilin heard this, he knew that there were twists and turns in the matter, and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?"

This new year's drama for CCTV next year will be the highlight.

Theoretically speaking, if you fancy a song, you can get it.

Many celebrities want to participate in the historical drama that can be broadcast on CCTV at the beginning of the new year.

Liang Yusong explained: "It's like this. We are going to sing this song in the finals of "The Voice of Songs", so we need to discuss with you, can we take both sides into account?"

As CCTV's new year's drama, the theme song was exposed on "Song" in advance, and CCTV may not agree.

"This..." Shen Jilin was a little embarrassed when he heard this request.

CCTV is a special existence in the entertainment industry.

For example, countless celebrities want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, but in fact, they have no money to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

Yes, celebrities have no money to go to the Spring Festival Gala, and they even have to pay for meals and travel expenses out of their own pockets.

But even so, the Spring Festival Gala is still a party that stars dream of attending.

Shen Jilin discussed with the Three Kingdoms production team, and said in a serious tone: "This may not be easy to handle, the new year's drama broadcast on CCTV is not suitable for early exposure on other programs.

"I'm really satisfied with the demo you sent me. The lyrics are still ancient poems, with a sense of history and a sense of depth.

"So, I am very sincere and want to use this song as the theme song of the Three Kingdoms drama, but it may not be appropriate to sing it on "Song of Songs", unless it is after the TV drama is broadcast."

The final of "The Voice" was broadcast live.

The time has been set, and it must be broadcast before the opening drama of the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, it is impossible to sing after the TV series starts.

Liang Yusong discussed again: "Can't we discuss any more? The theme of the competition for the finals of "The Voice" is 'Dust of History', which fits the meaning of the song very well."

Shen Jilin shook his head, and replied: "It's not that I disagree, but that I can't decide on this matter, and the leaders of the central station must agree."

Liang Yusong and Fang Xing looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

Qiao Yinghong continued to discuss: "Can't we discuss it? Singing the theme song first on "Song" can actually be promoted for TV dramas."

If it's a drama from another TV station, if you can promote the TV drama on "Singing", you must agree without even thinking about it.

However, CCTV is quite special and does not need this kind of propaganda.

Shen Jilin shook his head, and said helplessly: "It's more troublesome, the key is that I can't be the master."

He is the director of this drama of the Three Kingdoms, but he cannot completely make the decision on the broadcast of the drama.

Fang Xing understood the point of his words.

What he said was not "impossible", but "more troublesome".

In other words, this matter is indeed difficult, but it is not completely impossible.

Fang Xing thought about it and said, "Let's do this. I have another song here, which is sung by a female voice, and it also fits the story of this Three Kingdoms New Year drama.

"If Director Shen can agree to sing these two songs on "The Voice of Songs", then I will cover both the opening and ending songs of this Three Kingdoms drama."

Shen Jilin raised his eyebrows, and said in doubt: "You guys only sent me a sample song."

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, I only released a demo song. However, I have another demo song here. You can listen to it too. If you are interested, let's talk about it."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xing turned on the laptop, connected to the audio system in the meeting room, and started playing the second song.

This song also fits the theme of "Dust of History", and it can also be used as the theme song of the Three Kingdoms drama.

The demo starts playing.

The prelude sounded, and a variety of musical instruments, such as hole flute, chime bells, cello, and violin, played melodious and simple tunes.

Then, a female voice began to sing the song, the timbre was clear and melodious, very melodious, and also had a strong sense of historical narrative.

Although it is a demo, the quality of the song is very high, even if it is released directly, there is no big problem.

When Shen Jilin and the post-production team of the Three Kingdoms production team heard this song, their eyes lit up.

They had come for the previous baritone song, and now they heard a female voice song.

Both songs are very suitable as the theme songs of TV dramas.

Now, Shen Jilin was in a dilemma.

After the song demo was played, Shen Jilin discussed with the post-production team for a long time before saying:
"Both songs are indeed very suitable, but do you have to sing on "Song"?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, I want to sing on "Song of Songs", so I asked Director Shen to help communicate and facilitate this matter.

"Although the new year's drama broadcast on CCTV does not need to be promoted in other program groups, if it is promoted, it will still help the popularity of the TV series, won't it?
"Also, if Director Shen agrees to sing these two songs on "Song of Songs", then these two songs will be used as the theme song for the TV series for free. No money is required, and the singer does not need to pay."

Two songs will be used as the theme song for CCTV's opening drama next year for free. This may sound like a disadvantage, but in fact it is not a disadvantage at all.

For the opening drama produced by CCTV, even if there is a budget for the theme song, it will not give too much.

It will definitely not reach the price of "Painting Heart".

Moreover, the song is used as the theme song for the TV series for free, but the copyright of the song still belongs to me.

Compared with the follow-up income of the song, the 2 million paid by the TV series is really nothing.

If it can be sung on "Song", the value will be even higher.

Therefore, Fang Xing has already thought very clearly that it seems that he made the theme song for the TV series for free, but it can only facilitate this matter, and it is not a loss.

In fact, Shen Jilin also wanted to do more publicity for this Three Kingdoms drama. After all, the more publicity there is, the higher the ratings of the drama will be.

He didn't want to agree before, just because things were too troublesome.

But now both songs are suitable as the theme songs of the Three Kingdoms drama, and one is the opening song and the other is the ending song, which is just right.

If both songs are used, it can be said that the problem of the theme song of the TV series is completely solved.

Shen Jilin thought for a moment, and said, "In this way, I can give it a try and try my best to help you fight for it, but no matter whether it can be achieved or not, these two songs must be the theme song for my drama, and I will treat it as a favor."

After hearing what he said, Fang Xing nodded and agreed: "Okay, it's enough to have Director Shen's words, whether it can be done, these two songs are the theme songs for Director Shen's drama."

Shen Jilin nodded in satisfaction: "These two songs are very good, and it's not appropriate to get them for free. The crew will pay according to the original budget."

Fang Xing nodded in agreement: "Okay, follow Director Shen's instructions."

Both sides chatted very satisfactorily.

Shen Jilin and the crew of the Three Kingdoms drama got two songs as the theme songs for the opening drama.

And Fang Xing sent two songs to the CCTV New Year's Eve drama, and made Shen Jilin owe a favor.

As for whether these two songs can be sung on "Song of Songs", it is not a loss.

If neither of these two songs can be sung on "The Voice of Songs", Fang Xing can find other alternative songs, but it's not the best choice.

the following few days.

Fang Xing was practicing the song while preparing two other historical songs, just in case.

three days later.

Shen Jilin personally called: "Fang Xing, it's me, Shen Jilin."

"Hello, Director Shen, hello, Director Shen." Fang Xing greeted quickly.

"I've done what you said before. You can sing this song on "The Voice of Songs". If you need any cooperation, you can talk to the post-production team." Shen Jilin said cheerfully.

"Then thank you Director Shen." Fang Xing was naturally happy when he heard the news.

"If that's the case, then I won't owe you any favors." Shen Jilin joked.

"Don't dare, I owe Director Shen a favor." Fang Xing quickly responded modestly.

"That's not the case, our cooperation is going well. In fact, it is also thanks to your two songs that the quality is high enough, so the matter can be done. You have to sing well, and you can't ruin the brand of the new year's drama." Shen Jilin Ban Said jokingly and half-seriously.

"Of course." Fang Xing agreed.

In this matter, Shen Jilin actually had to take a certain risk.

In case these two songs are sung badly on "The Voice of Songs", instead of helping the New Year's Eve drama of the Three Kingdoms, it will be a drag on the contrary.

Therefore, Shen Jilin agreed that these two songs should be sung on "Singing Voice" first, and he should bear the responsibility.

Fang Xing was aware of this, so his favor towards Shen Jilin increased a lot.

Shen Jilin went on to say: "Also, which singer are you going to find for these two songs? The singer is mainly for you to choose, but you still need to communicate with the crew later."

"Of course." Fang Xing agreed.

Shen Jilin turned to remind: "Also, it's okay to prepare "Singing", but the Spring Festival Gala program can't be left behind. If you can't pass the row, you will be canceled."

"Of course, director Shen can rest assured."

Fang Xing was not in a hurry, the Spring Festival Gala was still more than two months away, so there was no time left.

Besides, Fang Xing basically doesn't answer other announcements, no celebrity would dare to be so salty.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Xing notified the company and started making preparations.

The two songs that fit "Dust of History," one for baritone and one for soprano.

The song sung by the soprano is going to be sung by Li Caiwei, and she also sang the demo.

According to Li Caiwei's personality, after singing the demo, she should be practicing this song every day, without supervision at all.

However, these two songs are going to be used in the first round of the "Singing" finals, so they still need to invite guest singers.
