Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Chapter 665 "Light" - The Final Verdict!

Snapped.

Snap, snap.

The applause first rang out from Lao Zhou's side.

He practically sprang up from his chair, clapping his hands together loudly and crisply.

Tang Huaiyuan stood up immediately afterward.

Then, the literary advisor, the historical advisor, and the music advisor stood up one after another.

The applause, which started sporadically, quickly grew into a continuous burst, filling the entire activity room.

There were no formalities, nor was it polite encouragement from a senior to a junior.

This is the heartfelt respect that everyone present felt when faced with a top-notch work!

Beside the door.

Liu Yifei had been wanting to applaud for a long time.

But as Fang Yu's girlfriend, she felt too embarrassed to be the first to take the lead.

Now all the experts in the room stood up, and she finally didn't have to hold back anymore.

clap clap clap-

Liu Yifei clapped her hands vigorously.

Before long, her palms turned red and her hands became numb, but she still couldn't bear to stop.

In front of the piano.

Fang Yu sat calmly on the piano bench, accepting the applause from the crowd.

At first, he was able to keep his expression in check and barely maintain his air of superiority.

A dozen seconds later, that familiar smugness couldn't be hidden anymore.

The corners of his mouth were pressed higher and higher.

Give him another half minute, and his tail will probably be wagging all the way to the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The applause lasted for a long time.

Finally, Shen Weimin raised his hand and pressed it down, and everyone gradually quieted down.

"Good lad!"

Shen Weimin stared at Fang Yu, his chest heaving heavily.

A few seconds later, he repeated it.

"What a fine lad!"

He couldn't find a more suitable evaluation than that sentence.

As for how long Fang Yu took to write these two songs, Shen Weimin no longer wanted to ask.

Whether the answer is ten minutes, half an hour, or two or three days, it's enough to make a room full of professionals question their existence.

Tang Huaiyuan took off his reading glasses and wiped them twice with the corner of his clothes.

When he spoke again, his voice was still trembling.

"I've spent most of my life studying the Forbidden City."

"We old folks are always used to looking up at the imperial palace, at the dragon throne, at the rise and fall of dynasties and nations."

Tang Huaiyuan raised his hand and pointed at Fang Yu, his eyes slightly red.

"But you, you've made us lower our heads and see the masses of people beneath these red walls!"

"In this world, what emperor or general can reign for eternity?"

"Aren't the people you describe in your song the ones who truly ensured the continuity of 600 years of culture?"

"They carried torches in the darkness, striving forward even though they were only a glimmer of light!"

The literary consultant standing nearby immediately chimed in.

"Well said!"

"That's what makes 'The Light' so special."

"The 'Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth' forms the framework of the entire documentary, while 'The Light' adds flesh and blood and heartbeat to it."

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction outside the window.

"The originally cold palace walls and blue bricks suddenly became warm."

"It wasn't given its temperature by an emperor."

"It is the everyday life left behind by countless ordinary people over the past six hundred years."

"This move was absolutely brilliant!"

Old Zhou is the music coordinator, so his focus is different from theirs.

He braced his hands on the table and stared at Fang Yu.

"What really gave me goosebumps was that opera-style singing in the middle."

"The beginning uses a pop singing style to sing about the struggles of ordinary people in difficult situations."

"When you get to the opera singing style, it instantly transports you back 600 years."

Old Zhou raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air.

"The modern and the past collided like that."

"Yet it doesn't seem out of place."

"Especially that line, 'A grain of millet in six hundred years, a dream in the vast ocean.'"

"With this stroke, the entire song's scope was completely opened up!"

The experts chatted excitedly, each offering their own opinion.

In the corner, Xiao Zhang had already quietly opened his workbook.

He is very clear.

With the release of "Light", the original post-production plans, recording arrangements, and music schemes all had to be readjusted.

The workload will definitely increase.

But this time, the project team made a killing.

really.

Shen Weimin's excitement gradually subsided, and he regained his serious demeanor as the chief director.

He looked around the activity room and spoke in a deep voice.

"Since everyone agrees, the ending theme song plan will now be officially adjusted."

Shen Weimin paused for a moment.

"The male chorus that had already been finalized in its first draft has been removed."

The activity room fell silent for a moment.

In a project of CCTV's caliber, temporarily replacing a work that has already reached the stage of a letter of intent is by no means as simple as just saying the word.

The original author needs to be contacted.

The choir needs to be coordinated.

The later plans, budget, and schedule all need to be rearranged.

Everyone present was aware of the trouble involved.

But Lao Zhou didn't hesitate for even half a second.

"Withdraw! We must withdraw!"

He nodded emphatically, taking full responsibility.

"I personally communicated with the original author and the choir."

"How the process unfolds and how the situation is explained are all my responsibility."

Having already created "Light," it would be truly irresponsible to simply attach the original plan to "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales."

He should be the villain if he's supposed to be.

Shen Weimin nodded and made the decision on the spot.

"The song 'Light' has been selected as the only candidate for the end credits song of the documentary 'The Forbidden City'."

"Submitted for review along with 'Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales'."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Fang Yu.

"I'll say it again."

"If the station has different opinions, or if the last-minute change of the ending theme song causes any controversy..."

Shen Weimin spoke each word with great emphasis.

"I, Shen Weimin, will take full responsibility."

With those words spoken, the matter was completely settled.

The weight that had been pressing on Lao Zhou's heart for more than half a month was finally lifted.

He strode over to the piano and slapped Fang Yu on the shoulder.

Even the way they address each other has changed.

"Teacher Fang!"

Upon hearing this shout, Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.

Old Zhou didn't give him a chance to show off at all, and immediately followed up with another question:

"Tell me the truth."

"Do you still have any hidden gems in your possession?"

"While our hearts can still hold up today, let's just pull them all out at once!"

Fang Yu then stood up from the piano bench.
