Gu Jiahui suddenly pressed the keys of the piano. This composer, who is described as "one person held up half of Hong Kong's entertainment industry in the 1970s", has been quite irritable recently due to too many trivial matters. He just put Huang I finished composing the music with the lyrics sent yesterday, but I couldn't write the next soundtrack.
"Family Love" will be aired in a few days. This TV series is a 75-episode drama starring Zhou Yunfa, Zheng Yuling, and Yam Dahua. Compared with other TV series with 20 or 30 episodes, in addition to writing a theme song, TVB also requires the Gu family Fai writes some music for a TV series.
Gu Jiahui has also encountered the situation of being unable to write anything before. In other words, all original creators will encounter this kind of thing. So he forced himself to calm down, packed up his things at home and prepared to go out for a walk, maybe relax and come back Just enter the state.
"Jingle Bell……"
Gu Jiahui was just about to go out when his home phone suddenly rang. He went back and picked it up, but it was his old partner Huang Zhan calling.
Huang Zhan's voice on the phone seemed to be quite excited, and he said quickly: "Jiahui, go buy a copy of "Original Scenery of My Hometown" and listen to it."
"Is that the song Kang Jianfei played on TV?" Gu Jiahui asked.
Huang Zhan said: "It's that song, but Kang Jianfei released an album with the same name. There are ten songs in total, and every song is very exciting."
Gu Jiahui had only heard in newspapers that "Original Scenery of Hometown" was very good, but he had never heard it in person, so he had not commented on it. Now his old partner Huang Zhan actually called him and asked him to buy it. That record proves that "Original Scenery of My Hometown" is indeed well-deserved.
Gu Jiahui became interested in the record of which he only heard the name but not the sound. He closed the door and walked towards the nearby video store.
The owner of the video store was an acquaintance of Gu Jiahui. When he saw him come in, he smiled and said, "Mr. Gu is here to choose records again. We have a batch of new golden songs from Europe and the United States, as well as Japanese..."
Before the boss could finish speaking, Gu Jiahui interrupted him and asked, "Is there any "Original Scenery of My Hometown"?"
As soon as these words came out, the owner of the video store turned bitter and sighed repeatedly.
Gu Jiahui said strangely: "I'm just asking you if you have this record. Why do you seem to be owed money and refuse to pay it back?"
"The original purchase quantity of "Original Scenery of Hometown" is small. Who knew that a pure music record without lyrics would sell so well? It was sold out yesterday and has not been renewed yet." The owner of the video store pointed inside and said, "Here. , those two people have been waiting for several hours. Just waiting to buy "Original Scenery of Hometown"."
Gu Jiahui was surprised when he heard it. Now that the craze for Mandarin songs in Hong Kong has receded, the Japanese pop music trend is still in its infancy. The most popular music at the moment is the music for ordinary people represented by Xu Guanwen, and the martial arts music represented by him and Huang Zhan. , even the love songs by Tan Yonglin and others have to be put aside.
As for pure music, there is almost no market in Hong Kong. If you can sell a thousand copies, you are blessed by the God of Wealth. This "Original Scenery of Hometown" can actually be sold out!
The strong recommendation from old friends and the strong response from the market made Huang Zhan's curiosity about "Original Scenery of Hometown" reach its peak.
After waiting for half an hour, a young man in his twenties parked in front of the video store on a motorcycle, unloaded two cartons from the car and said: "The goods have arrived. "The Original Scenery of My Hometown" has arrived! "
Before the boss went out, Gu Jiahui and two other waiting customers had already gathered around to help.
Among the two cartons, one contains vinyl records and the other contains cassette tapes.
Gu Jiahui was used to the sound of vinyl records, so he picked a record and hurried home, took out the record player and played it.
After listening to the song one after another, Gu Jiahui completely forgot about his previous irritability. He squinted his eyes and sat in the chair, tapping the armrest with his fingers. It was not until the entire record was played that Gu Jiahui opened his eyes and took a look.
It was already dark, so I quickly sat down in front of the piano to write a piece of music - he would be composing it tomorrow.
With his fingers pressed on the keys of the piano, Gu Jiahui's mind was filled with the music he had just listened to, and the desolate and melodious sound of the xun seemed to be echoing in his ears. He stretched out his fingers to play a section, and Gu Jiahui wrote down the melody with a pen. After writing,
Later, when he played it back, the more he listened, the more familiar it became. He actually wrote down the melody called "Song of Gratitude" from the "Original Scenery of Hometown" record just now.
Gu Jiahui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Just like the audience watched "Mr. Zombie" some time ago and didn't want to watch other inferior movies, the same is true when making music.
After a composer listens to an excellent piece of music, he may be inspired to create a work that satisfies him. What is more likely is that after hearing a beautiful melody, the emotion cannot come out of those melodies.
, no matter how you write it, it will always be someone else’s melody and someone else’s style.
The so-called lingering sound lasts for three days!
Gu Jiahui is in this state now. As a composer, Gu Jiahui has a deeper understanding of the album "Original Scenery of Hometown" than ordinary people. Now that he has been immersed in it, he can't write half of himself.
melody?
If he had known that he would not listen, Gu Jiahui reluctantly covered the piano.
After thinking about it, Gu Jiahui called Li Tiansheng, the producer of "Family Love", and he was ready to tell the truth.
Li Tiansheng had just returned home from the set. After receiving a call from Gu Jiahui, he thought he had written all the songs and said, "Uncle Hui, just give the written songs to Xiao Liang from the production department tomorrow."
Gu Jiahui said: "The theme song has been composed, but the soundtrack cannot be finished, at least not in the past few days."
Li Tiansheng was very surprised that Gu Jiahui had never given up the challenge like this, so he quickly asked: "What happened?"
Gu Jiahui said: "I just listened to the album "Original Scenery of My Hometown", and I couldn't express my emotions and couldn't write. Even if I forced it to be written, it would still be Kang Jianfei's style. I don't want to do this kind of thing."
Li Tiansheng had no choice but to say: "Then I'll find someone else to write it."
Gu Jiahui said: "Ah Sheng, I suggest you find Kang Jianfei and use his songs directly as background music. "Original Scenery of Hometown" and "Song of Gratitude" are very suitable for the TV series "Family Love".
"
"Looking for Kang Jianfei?" Li Tiansheng was even speechless. TVB was still having trouble with Oriental DreamWorks some time ago, and Wu Mengda is still working for Oriental DreamWorks.
Gu Jiahui said very definitely: "If the plot of "Family Love" has an 80-point score, then with his music, it can reach at least a 90-point score. I am serious!"
If someone else said this, Li Tiansheng would definitely laugh at it. But Gu Jiahui is different. He and Huang Zhan have a very high status in TVB. The hit TV series hits in recent years are all collaborations between the two of them.
Gu Jiahui's words made Li Tiansheng bravely call Fang Yihua.
Fang Yihua now holds most of the power of the TV station. After hearing what Li Tiansheng said, Fang Yihua just smiled lightly and said, "Since Jiahui said so, then you should listen to him. He is a professional."
After Fang Yihua hung up the phone, Li Tiansheng was still in a daze - why is Ms. Fang so easy to talk to?
In fact, there is really no conflict between Oriental DreamWorks and TVB that cannot be resolved. At most, DreamWorks has a competitive relationship with Shaw Brothers.
Fang Yihua's strong performance some time ago was just for the people inside the TV station to see. After showing his skills, he should naturally follow the rules and do whatever is profitable.
Just this morning, Pan Yingzi bought Wu Mengda's contract for 50,000 yuan.
For TVB, Wu Mengda is worthless. He owes hundreds of thousands in debt due to bad gambling, and has become notorious both inside and outside the industry. In addition, this guy used to be late for filming because of gambling, and even didn't show up at all.
He came to the scene, became famous and acted like a big name, and offended all the directors and producers. TVB no longer had any directors willing to let him play an important role.
Such a person, sold to Oriental DreamWorks for 50,000 yuan, is treated as waste.
…………
…………
Since "Original Scenery of Hometown" was produced and released by Fengxing Records, Li Tiansheng sent his assistant director directly to Fengxing Records the next day when he could not contact Kang Jianfei on the phone. Unexpectedly, Li Tiansheng's assistant director had just arrived.
, and found that people from Lishi also came to the door.
The war between TVB and LiTV is in full swing now. Not long ago, LiTV's first part of "The Love of the Earth", "Home in the Pearl River", starred TVB's Zheng Shaoqiu, Zheng Yuling, Li Siqi, Sen Sen, Lin Zixiang, Chen Baiqiang and many other stars.
"Turn Around" was losing ground, so much so that "Turn Around" only aired for 15 episodes, and was moved to Saturdays due to low ratings.
The people who came from Lishi had the same purpose as the people sent by Li Tiansheng, they both wanted to use the music from Kang Jianfei's "Original Scenery of Hometown" record. TVB wanted to soundtrack "Family Love", while Lishi wanted to use music from "The Love of the Earth".
"The second part of "Thunder in the Ancient Capital" soundtrack.
Although Kang Jianfei was not there, Deng Yiming, the general manager of Fengxing Records, received them. Deng Yiming followed Kang Jianfei's wishes and directly quoted the price to the two of them: "You can use the music, and the price is calculated by the second. The soundtrack is 10 yuan per second, which is very reasonable.
In the future, TV series will be sold according to this, and movies will be more expensive."
It costs 10 yuan a second, and one episode only uses Kang Jianfei's music for one or two minutes. Calculated for 50 episodes, it's less than 4,000 yuan, which is indeed a very reasonable price. Two rival TV stations are here, so naturally everyone is interested.
Unwilling to lose the battle, people on both sides called for instructions and agreed one after another.
After they left, Deng Yiming wanted to laugh loudly. In the past, when he wanted to distribute records to two TV stations, he knelt down and begged for mercy and ignored him. Now after Deng Yiming made an offer, the other party didn't even have the qualifications to counter-offer.
Neither Kang Jianfei nor Deng Yiming expected that this pure music record would cause such a big stir when they produced "Original Scenery of Hometown".
Two TV stations are rushing to buy the soundtrack, which is just the beginning! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users
