Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 85 Yang Mi asks for help
In the end, Liu Yan's provocation won.

Fortunately, Reba did not become suspicious in the end.

I got away with it with my acting skills.

Otherwise, how could I have the face to see Reba?

After all, I am such a thin-skinned person!

It was not until the evening that Cheng Xi woke up slowly.

First, I opened my phone to see if I had missed any messages, mainly to see if Reba would call me again.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t see Reba’s call, but saw a call from Senior Sister Yang Mi.

So Cheng Xi went back to see what was going on:

"Sister Mi, I drank some wine at noon and fell asleep, so I didn't see the phone call."

"I was wondering what was going on. I thought Senior Sister was going to ask you for help, but you stood me up!"

Yang Mi's very recognizable voice came from the phone.

"Hehe, Sister Mi asked me for help. As long as she's not looking for a husband or coveting my beauty, I will definitely do my best to help. Just give me your orders."

Cheng Xi said shamelessly.

"Ah, bah, you still have beauty for me to covet. If I really want to covet you, can you escape from my palm?"

"Hey, that's not necessarily true."

"Okay, let's get down to business. I need two favors from you. One is my new drama, 'Palace,' which will be airing on Hunan TV in February. You have quite a few followers on Weibo now, so please retweet my first Weibo post."

There is no problem with this, so Cheng Xi agreed casually:
"This is a simple matter. Sister Mi has helped me several times, so I have no choice but to do it."

"Secondly, although the theme song for my new drama was already finished a long time ago, I always feel that it's not quite right, especially since it's my first song. I want you to help me take a look."

"this."

"I don't know any other familiar composers, so Junior Brother is the one I'm most familiar with."

Cheng Xi has released three songs now, two of which are theme songs, and one is an adaptation of "Fortune Telling".

They are now on the new song charts, and in the eyes of the outside world, this fully proves the composing ability of screenwriter Zuibai.

That's why Yang Mi went to find her junior fellow apprentice.

"But then, I also need to watch the play before I can compose the right music for you."

This was of course Cheng Xi's excuse. He knew it was the theme song of Yang Mi's "Palace" even without being told.

It must be "Love Offering", this song
It's even more brainwashing than some divine songs.

It’s true that other people sing for money, but you sing for your life.

In the end, there was really no other way, and I almost changed all her songs into electronic music.

Even so, she dared to release an album and sing "Love Offering" at a party.

I am also very carefree.

"It's okay. I'll give you a rough outline of the plot and then send you the electronic version of the script. Don't worry, Senior Sister won't treat you unfairly. Whether the revised version is adopted or not, I'll pay you."

Uh, why didn’t you talk about money earlier? I thought you wanted to get it for free.

Sister Mi, I remember "The Offering of Love" very clearly. You should not refuse the money that is offered to you.

What's more, you can also do a favor for your future big flower, so why not do it?

"Well, then please send me the music and script you've prepared. I'll give it a try. It might not work."

"Also, it's going to be broadcast in a few days. Your drama is going to be aired soon."

Of course Cheng Xi had to ask about the approximate time, after all, he was very busy recently.

"It's okay. The show won't air for another month and a half. You'll still have time to finish it within a week."

Yang Mi replied.

Time is so tight, this is really a last-minute conscription.

Fortunately, I found myself. Finding others may not work.

I guess Yang Mi is prepared for both situations. In case Cheng Xi's version doesn't work, she will still use the original song.

In other words, she also contacted other composers.

Cheng Xi was not so foolish as to think that Yang Mi had found him alone as she said.

It’s impossible for someone to have only one mind when he’s in the entertainment industry.

So Cheng Xi called Teacher Jin and Reba and told them that he had something to do tonight and would not be there.

Then I had a quick meal in the college cafeteria and came to the studio.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the third floor, I found that the lights were on.

When I opened the door and went in, I saw that it was Zhang Tianai practicing dancing inside.

At this time, Zhang Tianai's foot had almost healed and she had no problem walking normally.

But dancing is definitely not an option, and I can't do any heavy lifting, so I can only do some simple movements that don't rely on my left foot. Combined with some rehabilitation exercises, I can get better faster.

But why practice in the studio? It’s not convenient either.

So Cheng Xi asked curiously:

"Why don't you go to the training room and practice?"

Zhang Tianai saw that it was her boss who came to the studio, and replied a little embarrassedly:

"Everyone in the practice room is really serious. I didn't want to disturb them, and I felt a bit embarrassed because my dancing is a bit ugly right now. The dormitory is too small to perform well, and there's no one in the studio right now, so I came here."

"Boss, if you have something to do, I'll leave first."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he thought the girl was really hardworking.

Since she was not a professional, she didn't complain much when I arranged for her to receive training in singing, dancing and other activities to improve her professional skills.

I have always done my job diligently and responsibly, but maybe I am just a little lacking in talent.

So Cheng Xi said comfortingly:
"It's okay, you practice here and be careful not to get hurt again. I'll just be busy in the office."

After saying that, he ignored Zhang Tianai and went to the office to read the script.

I had a general idea of ​​the plot of "Palace", but I still took a quick look at it, and old memories slowly came back to me.

This is actually a drama that was produced more than ten years ago. It can be said that Yang Mi has been popular for as many years as the drama has been around.

It is indeed not easy to make it to this point in this cruel entertainment industry.

The hardships we endured cannot be explained to outsiders.

As for the song, I listened to it myself and it is indeed different from the finished product.

There are some differences in the lyrics and melody, especially the chorus.

The emotions didn't match the rhythm of the song and were a bit flat.

Yang Mi probably also realized that if the first song was at this level, it probably wouldn't be popular.

That's why they came to me for help.

So Cheng Xi made up his mind to revise the chorus part and make it passable.

It is enough if it is 70% or 80% similar to later generations.

Now that the chorus is finalized, this song should become as popular as its predecessor, especially with Yang Mi's singing and the popularity of the drama.

Maybe Yang Mi doesn’t know now that this drama will become so popular after it is broadcast?

Sometimes it is really interesting to know the fate of others.

It was as if God had revealed the plot to him in advance, and not only that.

The key to unlocking the plot is now in his own hands.

This sense of historical intersection and participation made Cheng Xi addicted.

First, work out the lyrics, then write down the tune for the chorus.

My composing skills have become more and more proficient after being honed through those songs.

It's not difficult to develop a familiar chorus.

Then I changed the name of the song. Now the name of the song is simply called "Palace Lock Heart Jade".

Highly tied to the title of the drama.

If it were just an insert song, it would be fine, but as a theme song, or a song intended to be sung solo, it clearly fails to convey the main idea of ​​the lyrics.

Just looking at the name alone might make people a little confused.

Judging from Yang Mi's tone, she has high expectations for this song and doesn't want it to become an accessory to the drama.

After all, so many female stars have successfully transformed from actors to singers, there is no reason for her to think that she is not capable of it.

But Cheng Xi knew:

Sister, you really don’t have the talent for singing, so stop bothering yourself.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi began to write:
".
I've spent my whole life

To support you

I just hope you will stop your wandering eyes

Please give me the power to love and be loved infinitely

Let me feel at ease under the Bodhi tree

Quiet visualization

"

Just when Cheng Xi was immersed in it, the office door rang.

It turned out that Zhang Tianai had boiled a pot of water and was preparing to make tea for her boss.
　It's another day with tens of thousands of votes, please vote, thank you all!
