Chapter 89: Write a song in 8 minutes! Just ask if you are convinced!
After the signing press conference, Cao Jun collaborated with brand owner Hong Xingerke to shoot a set of film and television + print ads.
Cao Jun was busy until 8 o'clock in the evening before he finished today's shooting work.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Jun went straight to the hotel where he was staying, waiting for Zeng Li's arrival on the big bed in the room.
During this period of time, Zeng Li had been filming with the crew of "Shenzhou" in Shanghai, and he happened to come to the hotel to have a tryst with Cao Jun after the filming.
By the way, when Cao Jun had been getting along with Zeng Li day and night, Cao Jun always felt a little powerless.
But after they were separated for more than ten days, Cao Jun began to realize that he missed her.
As the saying goes, a short farewell is better than a new marriage. Cao Jun and Zeng Li reunited in Shanghai, which finally alleviated the pain of missing each other.
An hour later, while Cao Jun was lying on the bed to rest, he heard Zeng Li singing from the bathroom.
"The world of mortals is so ridiculous
Infatuation is the most boring
It’s okay to be arrogant
This life is not over yet
My heart is no longer disturbed
I just want to be free for half my life
…”
Cao Jun thought to himself that Sister Li was probably feeling happy this time, and she couldn't help humming.
However, Zeng Li's song "Laughing in the Red Dust" really had a free and easy feel to it, and Cao Jun felt very relaxed when he listened to it.
Moreover, Cao Jun just earned 18 million yuan in endorsement fees today. It can be said that Cao Jun made a lot of money during his trip to the Shanghai stock market.
Coupled with the savings saved previously, the total deposits in Cao Jun's bank account so far have reached a terrifying 25 million yuan.
As for how to use the 25 million yuan, Cao Jun is still considering whether to use it to invest in stocks or to invest in movies and TV series.
For a while, Cao Jun couldn't make a decision. He wanted to finish filming the movie "Crazy Stone" first and then consider investing.
All in all, it was a rewarding and wonderful night for Cao Jun.
The only shortcoming is that Zeng Li neither drinks alcohol nor eats meat. Otherwise, Cao Jun would really want to celebrate with her.
Cao Jun asked with great interest: "Shall we order some midnight snacks?"
Zeng Li shook his head: "I won't eat midnight snacks, you can eat them."
Cao Jun smiled and asked: "If I eat midnight snacks in front of you, will you feel hungry?"
Zeng Li first looked at Cao Jun pitifully, then nodded: "Yes, I will be very hungry."
Cao Jun sighed: "Well, then I'd better not eat. I don't want to see you hungry."
Zeng Li couldn't bear it. Seeing his lover starving in front of him, he said grandly: "It's okay. You can eat if you want. I'll be patient and pass. You don't have to worry about me."
After exercising for an hour, Cao Jun's physical exertion was not small. He was really hungry, so he asked the hotel to bring him Angus sirloin steak, duck breast, sea urchin, and ordered two bottles of cold beer.
Later, while Cao Jun was eating supper, he asked Zeng Li: "Do you want to come over and have something with me?"
Seeing the scene of Cao Jun feasting, Zeng Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva, then fell in love with his eyes, and said firmly: "No, I don't eat meat, drink alcohol, or eat midnight snacks."
Cao Jun said angrily: "That's so boring. If you don't eat meat or drink alcohol, life will be a lot less fun."
Zeng Li said disapprovingly: "Who said there is no fun? I think there are many joys in life, such as drinking tea, eating vegetarian food, reading books, singing..."
As soon as Cao Jun heard the word "vegetarian", he felt his head hurt, and then asked: "I really don't understand, what is the fun of being a vegetarian?"
Zeng Li replied: "Being vegetarian can regulate your mood, make your body very light, and it can also keep you in a happy mood."
Seeing that Zeng Li was unmoved, Cao Jun was too lazy to argue with Zeng Li on this issue.
After eating and drinking, Cao Jun brushed his teeth and rolled back to bed.
Early the next morning, Cao Jun, accompanied by Deng Xiaojian, flew back to the capital.
When he returned to the capital this time, Cao Jun was also busy with trivial matters and had no leisure at all. In addition to filming the MV for the song "Light Chaser", he also participated in the recording of a CCTV singing program.
June 6, morning.
Cao Jun was invited by Zhang Jizhong to visit his home.
At Zhang Jizhong's home, Cao Jun met Zhang Jizhong's wife Fan Xinman.
In fact, when he was on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Cao Jun had seen Fan Xinman come to visit the set.
In Cao Jun's impression, Fan Xinman is a typical Jiangnan talented woman. She was born on the bank of West Lake in Hangzhou. She is not only a writer, but also the chief director of "Moving China". She is worthy of the name of a talented woman.
Out of politeness and respect, Cao Jun would respectfully call Fan Xinman "Teacher Fan" every time he saw her, while Fan Xinman affectionately called him Xiao Cao.
After some pleasantries, Zhang Jizhong took out the lyrics written by his wife and asked Cao Jun to read them.
"Through the joys and sorrows of the mortal world, and your thoughtful wandering, piercing the green mountains and desolation all over the country
With your dreams flying along with the fragrance of flowers..."
Cao Jun read a piece of lyrics and was suddenly surprised to find out, aren't these the lyrics of "The World is Unparalleled"? Could it be that the lyrics of this song were really written by Zhang Jizhong's wife Fan Xinman?
"Xiao Cao, what do you think of the lyrics of this song? Is it suitable to be the theme song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"
Cao Jun replied: "It's suitable. It's very well written."
Without waiting for Zhang Jizhong to answer, Cao Jun then looked at Fan Xinman and couldn't help but admire: "Teacher Fan is really talented and beautiful, I admire you!"
Fan Xinman was not greedy for credit, and said modestly: "Xiao Cao, I did not complete this poem by myself. A friend named Shi Yong also participated in writing the lyrics."
Zhang Jizhong also took this opportunity and said to Cao Jun: "Cao Jun, this song has not been composed yet. I would like to ask you to help compose the music. I don't know if you have time. I have just asked someone to pay you the 50,000 fee for the composition."
Now, 50,000 yuan is not much..."
Cao Jun was no longer interested in listening to what Zhang Jizhong said next. He still knew Zhang Jizhong's virtue very well.
Anyway, Cao Jun also had memories of the song "Unparalleled in the World", so there was no need to use it. He immediately replied: "Okay, director, Mrs. Fan, give me ten minutes and I will compose a tune for this song."
Hearing Cao Jun's words, Zhang Jizhong and his wife looked at each other in disbelief.
Zhang Jizhong asked anxiously: "Writing a song in ten minutes? Is this possible?"
"Why not? Songwriting does not rely on time accumulation, but relies on the creator's inspiration! Bring me a pen, I will start composing music now!"
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Zhang Jizhong did not dare to neglect and handed the pen to Cao Jun.
Cao Jun picked up the pen and began to compose the lyrics.
In less than 10 minutes, it took Cao Jun only 8 minutes to complete the composition of "The World is Unparalleled" in front of Zhang Jizhong and his wife.
In 8 minutes, 50,000 yuan fell into the bag. Cao Jun had no complaints in his heart and felt happy.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Jun also sang "The World Unparalleled" to Zhang Jizhong and his wife seriously, while recording with a recorder.
Although the song "Unparalleled in the World" took Cao Jun 8 minutes to complete, after Zhang Jizhong and his wife listened to Cao Jun sing it again, they both felt that the artistic conception of the song was very consistent with the lyrics of the song.
Zhang Jizhong praised: "Cao Jun, I have seen your musical talent today. It is indeed extraordinary!"
