Chapter 261 That’s Zeng Li
In the remaining two days of April, Qi Wei finished shooting the MV for "Scoundrel" on time.

Time came to May, and on the [-]th, Qi Wei’s new album was completed.

Just waiting for the official release of the NO.15 new album in May.

According to the practice of releasing albums in the past, Qi Wei will premiere one or two theme songs from the album before the new album is officially released to help warm up the new album.

This new album release is no exception.

The original plan was to release a song on the [-]th, but an international event happened on that day that shocked the world and directly "disrupted" Qi Wei's release plan.

Zheng Donghan immediately found Qi Wei to discuss countermeasures.

"What do you think about this matter? Should we continue according to the original release plan?" Zheng Donghan asked.

Qi Wei looked at the newspaper in his hand and shook his head.

He said: "Although we often say that we as artists should stay away from these things and not get involved, but in this exciting public opinion environment, as a mainland singer, I should at least express my attitude."

Fortunately for Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, as long as you don't blindly take sides and don't talk nonsense, the country is still very tolerant to them. Even if you are on both ends, they will be given a chance to develop.

Mainland artists must follow the lead of the superiors, especially Qi Wei, a big star who is valued by the superiors and has influence in the country. It is easier to arouse the favor of the superiors by clarifying their stance and attitude.

Zheng Donghan also understood the other meaning of Qi Wei's words, and could use this public opinion environment to promote the new album.

"Then you want to express your attitude." Zheng Donghan asked. He didn't want Qi Wei to express his attitude through media interviews.

Because too much talk about many things often leads to mistakes, which is why many celebrities keep their mouths shut when something happens and act like a transparent person.

"Then it's natural to write a song." Qi Wei replied.

"Write a song?" Only then did Zheng Donghan realize that he was in front of him, a once-in-a-century genius "singer-songwriter".

Zheng Donghan looked at Qi Wei's serious look, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "You seem to have an idea?"

Qi Wei nodded lightly, thinking that the "Chi Ling" he had prepared could now be put to use.

So Qi Wei took out his calligraphy and pen, and spent a few minutes writing the music. The lyrics took a little longer, about 10 minutes. After deleting, deleting, and revising them, it took less than 10 minutes in total.

It is rare but not impossible for a talented singer to suddenly have inspiration and compose a song in a few minutes.

Later, Zhang Shaohan approached Jay Chou to invite him to sing, and Jay Chou spent less than 10 minutes composing "Dear, That's Not Love" for her.

There are also songs such as Zhang Yu's "Sad Romance", Ye Jiaxiu's "Grandma's Penghu Bay", Qi Qin's "About Winter", etc. These songs were all composed in just ten minutes.

However, in these examples, song writing is mainly about composing music, and it is rare that the music can be created along with appropriate lyrics.

Zheng Donghan didn't know that Qi Wei was pretending to create, so when he saw that Qi Wei composed the song "Chi Ling" in less than 10 minutes, he was shocked as he had experienced many storms.

"You are sad but you dare not forget about the country. You wrote the lyrics so well." Looking at the lyrics and music of "Chi Ling" on the paper, Zheng Donghan couldn't help but praise it with a sigh.

He quickly recovered from the shock and continued: "I will go back to the company now and invite the best music producers to help you arrange the music."

"No need to bother, I already have an idea for the arrangement." Qi Wei replied.

Most of Qi Wei's songs are arranged by himself, and he is a very qualified arranger. Zheng Donghan knows this.

He was mainly worried that Qi Wei was in a hurry, so he wanted to help.

Zheng Donghan asked: "So you want to complete the production of this song yourself?"

"Yeah" Qi Wei nodded.

"I would like to remind you that your new album release plan cannot be changed. It is now less than six days away."

Although Zheng Donghan said so, in fact, it takes several days to prepare for the release of records.

If Qi Wei wants to put this song in a new album, and the new album wants to be released on time at No. 15, then the song must be produced within three days.

Including recording songs and shooting MVs.

"Don't worry if you have enough time, I will definitely finish the song within the time."

In fact, Qi Wei has already prepared for the song "Chi Ling" and has even gone to the recording studio to complete the recording process.

Now all we have to do is shoot the MV.

Qi Wei continued: "Mr. Zheng, I need you to help me book a flight back to Beijing now. I promise to send you the master tape of this song within three days."

"OK! No problem." Seeing Qi Wei's confident look, Zheng Donghan immediately agreed.

That night Qi Wei flew back to the capital from the port city.

The MV script for "Chi Ling" has already been written, and the scenery has been set up at the Beijing Film Studio.

Qi Wei came to the MV filming location early the next morning.

At the MV shooting scene, Jiang Wen had been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Qi Wei, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"I came as soon as you called. I think that's enough."

"Am I not helping you realize your dream?"

Seeing Jiang Wen asking for benefits, Qi Wei rolled his eyes at him.

To put it simply, the script of "Red Ling" is that during the Anti-Japanese War, a high-ranking official in the puppet government supported by the Japanese army raised a Peking Opera troupe. A couple of Peking opera singers and their husbands who had been childless for many years adopted a little girl out of pity.

Later, a Japanese spy chief took a fancy to his wife, found a reason to kill her husband and seize her, and adopted a little girl. When the little girl grew up, she took revenge and died together.

"Dream come true, huh, if that guy hadn't been blind, the role of Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine" should have been mine. I still need to fulfill my dream in your MV."

Jiang Wen has always wanted to play a Peking Opera role, and he auditioned for the role when "Farewell My Concubine" was cast.

Listening to Jiang Wen chatting about the past, Qi Wei felt speechless for a while, thinking that Director Chen would be really blind if he chose you.

When I think of Jiang Wen playing Cheng Dieyi:
"I'm fucking Nv Jiao'e!"

"Explain to me why you are so proud of me for the rest of your life!"

"I came to the stage today just for one thing: Peking Opera! Peking Opera! Still fucking Peking Opera!"

"What do you mean by Farewell My Concubine, or Farewell Your Concubine? I just want to stand up and sing!"

"."

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Wen was a little confused when he saw Qi Wei suddenly holding back his laughter while thinking about it.

"It's nothing, I just think you are very suitable for Peking opera roles, Lao Jiang." Qi Wei held back his laughter.

Qi Wei doesn't know whether it's suitable or not, but the role played by Jiang Wen in "Red Ling" is not as enchanting and feminine as Cheng Dieyi, so the contrast won't be that big. You can only know the effect after playing it.

"You still understand me." Jiang Wen laughed hip-hop. He took the script and said: "The MV script written by your company is really good. If you expand it a little, it will be a qualified movie script."

Hearing this, Qi Wei couldn't help but look at Jiang Wen and reminded: "You don't want to adapt this MV into a movie, do you? Don't forget that you can't make a movie now."

"The Devil Is Coming" didn't pass the review, so Jiang Wen boldly sent the film to a foreign film festival. This incident unexpectedly angered the superiors. Although there was no paper document, Jiang Wen would be able to do so for at least five years. Can't make a movie.Jiang Wen didn't care and said, "Just because I can't shoot now doesn't mean I won't be able to shoot in the rest of my life. I'm not just trying to prepare for a rainy day. Besides, the worst I can do is find a puppet director like in "Looking for a Gun"."

"Brother Cheng Er is not a puppet." Qi Wei corrected as he looked at Cheng Er who was busy not far away. Cheng Er was the MV director of Qi Wei's song "Chi Ling".

"I know I said something wrong, but I have the idea of ​​adapting this MV into a movie. Are you willing to support me?"

Qi Wei looked at Jiang Wen and pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "First of all, you have to revise the script. In addition, if you want to seek my support, you must give me a detailed project plan, otherwise I will not consider it. .”

Jiang Wen and Wang Sunglasses from Hong Kong City both spent investors' money to achieve their own goals. If they really want to cooperate with him, they must find a way to curb his lavish behavior in filming.

"I understand. I will definitely do what you ask for. When your concert is over, I will show you the script."

"Well, let's talk about it later."

After ending this topic, Jiang Wen looked around and asked, "Hasn't the person who plays opposite me today arrived yet?"

Qi Wei also looked around and glanced at the time on his watch, "It's almost there."

In the script, she and Jiang Wen play a charming couple, and the adopted little girl will be played by the same actress when she grows up.

"It's so mysterious. Who is it? Is it Jiang Qinqin?"

Jiang Wen had a good foundation in Peking Opera and had a good relationship with Qi Wei. The first thing Jiang Wen thought of was Jiang Qinqin.

"You'll know soon." Qi Wei didn't answer who it was.

Not long after, a little girl came first.

"Lao Jiang, the person who plays opposite you is here." Qi Wei joked with a smile.

In the "Chi Ling" MV, a young actor is needed to play the role of the little girl adopted by the actor and his wife.

Although Qi Wei's company has now signed Su Chang and Yang Mi, their current ages are rather awkward. They have already started to grow around the age of 12 and are not suitable for them.

It's best to be around ten years old. It doesn't matter if you have experience in opera or not, as long as you are cute and pretty.So Qi Wei asked Cheng Er to choose suitable young actors.

Cheng Er adheres to a serious and responsible attitude.I actually found a little girl who was learning Peking Opera.

She started learning dance when she was 3 years old, and formally started learning Peking Opera when she was 9 years old. She has been studying for more than a year.

When Qi Wei saw this little girl, he had a feeling of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hello, big brother, my name is Wang Xiaochen."

It turned out to be her, and only then did Qi Wei remember who it was.

After introducing himself, Wang Xiaochen's eyes remained on Qi Wei's face.

"You keep looking at me?" Qi Wei asked with a smile.

"Because I know you, brother." Wang Xiaochen replied with a smile, looking innocent. Then she took out Qi Wei's record from her bag and continued: "I have your record, brother."

"Then have you heard the songs in this?"

"Of course I've heard it. I really like the songs in it."

It turned out to be his little fan. Qi Wei couldn't help laughing and asked: "Do you want me to sign an autograph for you?"

"Of course." Wang Xiaochen said and handed the record to Qi Wei.

Watching Qi Wei interact with the little girl, Jiang Wen, who was left out, couldn't help it.

He asked Wang Xiaochen: "Then do you know who I am?"

Wang Xiaochen then looked at Jiang Wen. Although he felt that he had seen it somewhere, he couldn't remember it after looking at it for a long time.

Then he shook his head and asked innocently: "Who are you?"

This question directly made Qi Wei, who was signing autographs, laugh.

It's no wonder that Wang Xiaochen doesn't know Jiang Wen. After all, for a girl of her age, if she has idol fans, they are not much older than their handsome brothers.

This is also the reason why the capital flow of later generations creates idols.

After interacting with Wang Xiaochen for a while, the actress who starred opposite Jiang Wen finally arrived.

"Are they the ones we were in the drama with?" Looking at the two girls walking over, Jiang Wen asked Qi Wei in a low voice.

"Well, they are from the 96 class of your drama class, and they are from the same class as me."

When the two girls approached, Qi Wei introduced them to Jiang Wen.

"This is Yuan Quan, and this is Zeng Li."

In fact, this was not the first time Jiang Wen met them. He had met them once before when he returned to give lectures at the Central Theater Company, and then again at the premiere of Qi Wei's "Love in the Internet Age."

But even after meeting them at least twice, Jiang Wen still had no impression of them.

To be precise, he had no impression of Zeng Li.

After all, the junior year of college is almost over now, and Zeng Li has not auditioned for any film or television drama, or even shot a single commercial.

As for Yuan Quan, he had previously filmed a commercial for "Wahaha" with Qi Wei, and thus indirectly participated in Qi Wei's MV.

And now Jiang Wen also remembered that Yuan Quan had already made a movie.

"Have you ever filmed Director Teng's "Spring Rhapsody"?" Jiang Wen asked Yuan Quan.

"Yes." Yuan Quan nodded quickly and replied.

"You performed well in this drama, maybe there will be surprises."

"Spring Rhapsody" was released some time ago. Although the audience didn't buy it, it probably didn't take off at the box office. However, the industry is very enthusiastic about the film and has been nominated for multiple film awards.

This meant that he would win the prize. Yuan Quan immediately beamed with joy and thanked him: "I can borrow your good words from my senior brother."

Jiang Wen smiled and nodded, and then Qi Wei asked him: "Who do you think is more suitable among them?"

"So you haven't made a decision yet."

"Well, so I want to hear your opinion. After all, I am acting with you."

Jiang Wen couldn't help but look at Yuan Quan, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "I think she is more suitable."

Not only because Yuan Quan has already made movies and has experience in filming, but more importantly, Yuan Quan looks foreign and has a literary and artistic temperament that is more popular with old movie men who claim to be educated people.

"Well, that's her."

Qi Wei pointed at Zeng Li.

Zeng Li, who was originally looking disappointed, suddenly changed his mind.
