After hanging up the phone with Lang Kun, Cao Jun began to think about which song he should play on the Spring Festival Gala.

Originally, Cao Jun wanted to copy the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai". Considering that the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" seemed to have been sung by Andy Lau at the 2005 Spring Festival Gala.

If he and Andy Lau collided on the Spring Festival Gala program, it would be too damn embarrassing, and he would probably die on the spot, so Cao Jun had to give up this idea.

Without having time to think about it, Cao Jun continued filming.

night.

The hotel where "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" stayed.

After careful consideration, Cao Jun finally decided to choose the song "Cao Cao" to participate in the competition of the Spring Festival Gala program group.

The reason why Cao Jun chose the song "Cao Cao" is mainly because this song is special, easy to become popular, and has strong popularity potential.

In addition, Cao Jun also wanted to pay tribute to his ancestors on the Spring Festival Gala stage in front of the people of the country.

Cao Jun was embarrassed to trouble Gao Xiaosong, so he called Song Ke: "Boss, I want to record a song! Can you send someone over to help me record the song?"

Song Ke was completely obedient to Cao Jun, a cash cow. As long as he could within his ability, he would basically satisfy Cao Jun.

Moreover, in recent times, according to feedback from China Mobile, the number of downloads of Cao Jun's "Father" ringtone has been increasing. Song Ke, who was sitting in the office, seemed to have seen money flying all over the sky again.

After retracting his thoughts, Song Ke asked softly: "Xiao Cao, what are your specific requirements? Just ask, don't be polite to me!"

Cao Jun was not polite and said directly: "I want a master arranger and a band, because the song I wrote is a rock song, and I also have a sound engineer..."

Song Ke said cheerfully: "No problem, Xiao Cao, you can film with peace of mind first, I will send someone to your side tomorrow!"

"Okay boss, I'll leave it to you."

The next day, afternoon.

Song Ke not only sent arrangers and band members to Xiangshan Film and Television City, but also brought a truck of recording equipment, just to cooperate with Cao Jun's song recording.

Because of filming, Cao Jun could only find time to work with the team at night.

But at night, the musical instruments and speakers, as well as Cao Jun's singing, were particularly disturbing to the people, and they were complained several times.

There was no other way, Cao Jun could only let them study the arrangement during the day. After the arrangement was completed, he discussed with Zhang Jizhong and set aside a whole morning to record songs with the band.

It took Cao Jun and his team members six days to record the demo of the song "Cao Cao" and then register the copyright.

Then, they brought the demo of the song "Cao Cao" back to the capital and handed it over to Lang Kun, the director of the Spring Festival Gala program.

"If you are not a hero, you will not read the Three Kingdoms"

If you are a hero, how can you not understand loneliness?

Walking down Changban slope alone, the moonlight is too gentle

Cao Cao didn't hesitate, he just wanted to take Jingzhou

Use conspiracy, scheming, speaking openly and secretly to seize

The Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into the Three Kingdoms

The war rages on all day long

The love between children is long, and they are affected by troubled times

…”

After listening to the demo of "Cao Cao", Lang Kun felt that this song was very novel and the melody was particularly exciting. Both the lyrics and the tune made people feel refreshing.

Thinking of this, Lang Kun called Cao Jun and asked with great interest: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing a rock song with Cao Cao as the protagonist?"

Cao Jun said seriously: "It's such a director. When watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I always felt that Cao Cao was a very confident and powerful person."

"I thought, why can't I make a song based on his story? After thinking hard, I finally decided to combine Western ROCK with our Chinese elements and create a modern popular version with Cao Cao as the protagonist.

song."

"Moreover, when I was making music, I wanted to have the same spirit as Cao Cao who wanted to dominate the world. I tried my best to give everything in the hope of conquering everyone's ears, so I named this song "Cao Cao"..."

After listening to Cao Jun's long speech, Lang Kun pondered for a moment and said: "Cao Jun, the lyrics of your song are catchy, the song is also very rhythmic, and it has strong pop potential..."

At this point, Lang Kun suddenly changed the subject and said: "However, your song "Cao Cao" is very good, but the style of this song does not match the main theme of our Spring Festival Gala,"

When Cao Jun heard this, he felt cold and hurriedly said: "Director Lang, how come my song "Cao Cao" does not match the main theme? Isn't it very positive? Not only did he popularize the historical figure Cao Jun to young audiences, but he also wrote

It not only reveals the cruelty of war, but also expresses the love between children..."

Lang Kun couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, Cao Jun, you don't have to recommend songs to me. I will have a meeting with my team later to discuss with them. If your song is suitable for our Spring Festival Gala, we will be the first

I’ll let you know when the time comes!”

Cao Jun said gratefully: "Okay, thanks to Director Lang, then I will have Director Lao Lang."

The reason why Cao Jun was invited to the Spring Festival Gala program was mainly because of the popularity of the two songs "Fairy Tale" and "Father" in 2004.

As the largest gala stage in China, the Spring Festival Gala is a stage that many singers and actors dream of appearing on, and even Cao Jun is no exception.

Generally speaking, singers who can appear on the Spring Festival Gala are mainly divided into several categories.

The first type is those with strong connections who have attended the Spring Festival Gala more than 20 times, such as the female singer who sang Good Days and In the Field of Hope...

The second type is singers who are queens and kings in the music industry, such as Faye Wong, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, etc.

By the way, as the most accomplished female singer in the Chinese music scene after Teresa Teng, Faye Wong can perform on the Spring Festival Gala at any time as long as she has new songs. The Spring Festival Gala program team invites Faye Wong to perform on the Spring Festival Gala almost every year.

The singer Jacky Cheung has never been to the Spring Festival Gala, mainly because of personal and family reasons, he has refused invitations to the Spring Festival Gala many times.

The third type is the popular ones, such as Jay Chou, Xie Tingfeng, Pu Shu and others, who are all young idols deeply loved and sought after by young people today.

The fourth type is artists with profound qualifications who are popular among the people, such as Feng Gong, Zhao Benshan, etc.

The fifth kind...

The above are basically the big guys who can go to the Spring Festival Gala if they want, but they can’t choose. In many cases, it’s not that they can’t go, it’s that they feel too much pressure, they have too high demands on themselves, and they don’t have good works.

It's better not to go up.

In short, for most people, the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is as difficult as reaching the sky. They may not be able to reach it even if they work hard for a lifetime, but for some people, it is as easy as going home.

For example, Aunt Cai and Pan Zi, the pair of screen CPs, such as Jiang Kun...

The reason why Cao Jun was invited to the Spring Festival Gala program was also based on the third reason.

No way, Cao Jun's two songs "Fairy Tale" and "Father" were really popular in 2004.

January 23, evening.

Because the play ended early, Cao Jun went to Zhang Jizhong's room to drink with Zhang Jizhong.

While Zhang Jizhong was happily drinking, Cao Jun gave him a vaccination and said, "Director, the Spring Festival Gala invited me to attend the Spring Festival Gala."

Zhang Jizhong was stunned for a moment and asked: "Are you sure you can go?"

Cao Jun replied: "I don't know, I may be able to choose, or I may not be able to choose."

Zhang Jizhong thought about it for a while, and if Cao Jun could attend the Spring Festival Gala, it would be of great benefit to the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

However, if Cao Jun went to participate in the selection and was not selected in the end, and the trip was in vain, it would be a bit too painful, and he might as well not go.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Jizhong said sternly: "Just tell them that you have to film and are not free."

Cao Jun asked: "Director, if you are so direct, will you be banned?"

Zhang Jizhong waved his hand: "No, mainly you don't know if you can be selected if you go. If you can guarantee to attend the Spring Festival Gala, I will definitely let you go."

"If you go and can't attend the Spring Festival Gala, then who will be responsible for the losses of our crew?"

Cao Jun thought for a while and said, "Director, if not, please increase my work intensity, let me shoot more during this time, and squeeze out a few days for me."

Zhang Jizhong also thought it was feasible, so he said, "Okay, if Ruitong can really attend the Spring Festival Gala, I will arrange it for you and let you film more movies."

"However, even if you are selected to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, I can only give you 7 days at most. The day after the Spring Festival Gala, which is the second day of the Lunar New Year, you will return to the crew to film."
Chapter completed!
