Global Film Emperor: I film just to finish the movie!

Chapter 42 [042] General’s Order?

"Go? Where?"

Su Ding waved his hands and followed Gao Ji out without stopping.

"Go see the nerd. He's obsessed." Gao Ji replied as they walked. "Last time, didn't we talk about re-singing ancient music? The nerd searched around for ancient music and selected ten. Now he spends every day in the instrument room, banging away at them, hoping to spark inspiration for a new arrangement."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Su Ding waved to Han Yi and walked out of the office with Gao Ji.

High energy naturally follows.

"That's a good thing, but how can it be that easy to rewrite an ancient piece of music?" Gao Ji sighed. "That nerd is so stubborn, he's been staying in there day and night, and he's almost gone bad. Brother Su, go and see what's going on."

"Okay." Su Ding nodded and said to Gao Neng who was following behind him as he walked, "Gaoneng, you don't have to follow me. I'm not filming for the time being and don't need any help."

"It's okay. I don't have anything else to do anyway. I'll go with you and broaden my horizons." Gao Neng replied with a smile.

"Hmm~ You talk as if you know a lot about music." Gao Ji turned his head and glanced at him with contempt.

"I don't understand, but I can listen." Gao Neng laughed, "Everyone can tell whether a song is good or not, right?"

"That's not necessarily true." Gao Ji acted mysterious.

Su Ding ignored the two of them.

Following Gao Ji's quick walk, we arrived at the instrument room.

This is a spacious room filled with various musical instruments, both Chinese and Western.

Each musical instrument is very expensive, so there are special people to guard it.

Before the change, Chen Qingshu could only borrow and register one item at most.

But now, "The First Dream" has become a hit, and the entire instrument room is open to him. He can stay in there as long as he wants and use whatever instrument he wants.

This is the treatment for senior composers.

However, few people in the composition department stay in the instrument room every day, and there is even less who stay there for several days and nights like Chen Qingshu.

After registering at the door, Su Ding walked into the spacious room full of musical instruments. Looking at the various instruments placed on the shelves, he seemed to hear countless melodies in his ears.

At the right moment, the sound of a guzheng began to sound.

"It starts again."

Gao Ji said something and led Su Ding to a corner, where he saw Chen Qingshu sitting there, playing the guzheng. Although his skills were not very proficient, he was able to operate it skillfully.

The energetic young man and the handsome idol look of the past are all gone. His hair is messy, his face is pale, he has dark circles under his eyes, and he smells.

"Nerd, stop playing, Brother Su is here." Gao Ji shouted.

Chen Qingshu, who was concentrating on playing the guzheng, stopped and looked up at Su Ding.

"Brother Su, what do you think of this melody?"

As he said this, he played again.

"That's enough." Su Ding stopped him. "I don't know much about musical instruments, so you should show me the ten songs you selected."

"These are the ten poems." Upon hearing this, Gao Ji grabbed a piece of paper from the empty table next to him and handed it to Su Ding.

"nice."

Su Ding took it and glanced at it. There were many ancient songs, but it was not so easy to rearrange them. He needed a suitable one. The ten songs selected by Chen Qingshu were relatively easy.

Ok?
Suddenly, Su Ding's gaze focused on one of the ancient songs.

"General's Order"?
Isn’t this “A Man Should Be Self-reliant”?

Yes, "A Man Should Be Self-reliant"!
Su Ding suddenly woke up, joy in his eyes.

'This is truly God's will.'

The song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" is adapted from the ancient song "General's Order".

Lyrics rewritten by James Wong.

The whole song is positive, uplifting, full of masculine power, and makes people's blood boil.

With the broadcast of the "Once Upon a Time in China" film trilogy, it has almost become the exclusive background music for this hero. As soon as the tune starts, you know who is coming.

"Play this piece."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Su Ding handed the paper to Chen Qingshu, "I think this "General's Order" is good."

"General's Order?" Gao Ji thought for a moment before nodding, "Indeed."

Chen Qingshu didn't take the paper. After listening to Su Ding, he walked to the cabinet beside him and took out a suona.

Many musical instruments are used in "General's Order", but the ancient music is mainly based on the large suona.

Chen Qingshu can actually play the flute. I have to say, he is much better than this fake composer. He is truly multi-talented.

The sound of suona is very penetrating.

After listening to it once, Su Ding's acting skills came into play, and he seemed to have every intention of asking Chen Qingshu to play it again.

After blowing it for the second time, let it blow again.

Chen Qingshu took a break and continued to play "General's Order".

This time, Su Ding walked to an empty table after listening halfway, picked up the paper and pen on it, and started writing quickly.

"..."

Gao Ji was confused!

Chen Qingshu's eyes lit up.

Gao Neng, who had been silent the whole time, was also surprised. He remembered what Gao Ji had boasted to him before about how Su Ding and Chen Qingshu wrote "The First Dream".

Now Su Ding writes songs just by listening to music. Isn’t he a genius?

None of the three spoke, but after Chen Qingshu finished playing it once, he continued to play "General's Order".

Su Ding was scribbling on the table.

Chen Qingshu stopped and played the flute at the back.

After about half an hour, Su Ding stopped writing and waved for the three people to come over.

"Let's see how it goes."

Gao Ji, who had been curious and itchy for a long time, was the first to rush forward.

Chen Qingshu followed closely behind.

The two of them almost lay on the table, reading the lyrics written by Su Ding.

"Pride faces the waves, and blood is as red as the sun."

"..."

"Let the sea and sky gather energy for me, to open up the world and pursue my ideals"

"..."

"Good, good, good! Brother Su, this lyric is great! So inspiring!" Gao Ji couldn't help but shout out loud when he read to the end.

"..." Chen Qingshu didn't say anything, but just opened his eyes wide and murmured, "What else? What else?"

"That's all I can think of."

Su Ding spread his hands, "That's all the inspiration I got from listening to 'The General's Order'. You'll have to fill in the rest. Also, I think the adaptation of 'The General's Order' could include gongs and drums. Especially adding drums at the beginning, I think it'll be more refreshing."

"Add drums at the beginning?" Gao Ji thought about it for a moment, then clapped his hands. "Great! Even better with drums! As expected of Brother Su! This song is for men; only men can capture its essence! Like here, I think adding the line 'A good man should be self-reliant' would be a great addition!"

"It's really good, but if we adjust it, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use 'A man should be self-reliant'?" Su Ding suggested.

Su Ding could recall 90% of the lyrics of "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", but he deliberately only wrote half of it because he didn't want it to be too conspicuous.

The remaining half, Gao Ji's words reminded Su Ding.

He can guide Gao Ji or Chen Qingshu to speak the remaining lyrics!
Including the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", it can also guide Chen Qingshu to write it!
