Assistant Afan's voice sounded a bit harsh on the set. Chen Shide put down the microphone and asked the assistant director to look at the monitor, then stood up and walked towards Afan.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"The song you requested from Wu Kangcheng has been received and has been sent!" Assistant Afan said excitedly.
Chen Shide was stunned for a moment and then reacted: "Liao Yuan?"
Chen Shide frowned: "So fast? How much is the price?"
"A price?" Afan thought for a moment: "I have contacted Liao Yuan's assistant. According to Liao Yuan's wishes, it is up to you to give it."
Chen Shide smiled: "Interesting, this Liao Yuan is indeed as high as the rumors. OK, I like it. Talented people are like this. Where's the song?"
"Here it is!" Afan raised his mobile phone: "This song is called "As Long as Ordinary". It was sung by Liao Yuan and a female singer from the Little Yellow Fish Company. Director Chen, can I play it now?"
"Wait a minute!" Chen Shide waved his hand and motioned for Afan to go to the dressing room next to him.
There was no one in the dressing room. After closing the door, Afan immediately clicked on the email on his mobile phone, put the mp3 attachment that he had already downloaded on the player, and clicked on it.
Soon, a faint guitar sound sounded, and a male voice sounded in his ears without any warning.
"Perhaps far away or yesterday
Here or on the other side..."
Chen Shide looked solemn and listened carefully.
The more he listened, the more solemn his face became.
"This lyrics..."
He was a little surprised.
It can be heard that Liao Yuan did his homework in advance when composing this song.
When hearing the lyrics "Without the halo of God, you and I are born ordinary," Chen Shide was obviously stunned.
At this moment, Afan's hand holding up the phone was already trembling. Although his attention was not on the song at all, such singing made him feel bursts of heartbreak. The sadness in the voice was beyond words.
It almost made him depressed inside.
What kind of song is this? Is it sung to the dead?
Afan cursed in his heart. As a player who likes to have fun in nightclubs, he usually listens to mostly electronic dance music. The electronic music in dance music brings a sense of movement to his heart and makes him feel happy.
This low singing voice made him feel very uncomfortable.
he does not like.
But if you put it in the movie "Alive"...
Afan is full of admiration for Liao Yuan. In the past two months, on the crew of "Alive", he has seen clearly the miserable conditions of leukemia patients.
The song "As Long as Ordinary" really fits the movie just right. It can even be said that this song is enough to elevate the movie "Alive" to a very high ideological level.
An assistant can see it so clearly. Director Chen Shide stands higher and farther, so he naturally knows the weight of this song.
It also made him feel even more sad.
When filming the movie "Alive", he took the risk from the beginning that it would not pass the review and the investment would be wasted.
Many realistic-themed movies are like this, and the situation shown in this movie is even more miserable.
It’s hard for medicine sellers, but it’s also hard for doctors.
It’s difficult for the police and it’s difficult for the patients.
In this fucked up world, it’s even harder to have no money.
But in this indifferent world, it is not easy to have feelings...
"Don't want the aura of God
As long as you are ordinary
I have no regrets in this life
The fire of life has been lit..."
Just after listening to a song, heavy footsteps came from outside the dressing room, "Director Chen, the investor wants to treat you to a meal tonight, you..."
"Get out!"
Director Chen's roar was heard, and the people outside the door trembled in fright, and immediately left in silence.
In the dressing room, Chen Shide motioned to his assistant Afan to play "Only Ordinary" for the second time.
After listening to it, I was asked to play it a third time...
The fourth time...
The fifth time...
For an entire hour, Chen Shide sat there motionless. His glasses were round and out of focus. He was obviously distracted.
When the forty-third playback was completed, Chen Shide suddenly stood up and sighed: "If there were no diseases in this world, why worry about the medicine on the shelf being stained with dust?"
"My movie seems a bit unworthy of this song..."
That night, Chen Shide wrote hard and added many details to the script of the movie "Alive", making the whole movie appear more full and the characters more three-dimensional.
The next day, despite the objections of the investors, Chen Shide resolutely replaced the wormy actors installed by several investors in the crew and started filming again.
The completion level of the plot that originally reached nearly 90% was suddenly dropped to 70% due to Chen Shide's temporary addition.
But no one dared to persuade him, because after reading the script, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Director Chen was doing it for the good of the movie.
Although the investors had some complaints, after learning that Chen Shide had actually invited Liao Yuanlai to create a theme song for the movie "Alive", they quietly kept their mouths shut and could only cast a few actors who were inserted into it.
to other crews.
A week later, Chen Shide went to Donghai in person and met with Liao Yuan.
As soon as they met, Chen Shide couldn't help but shook hands with Liao Yuan vigorously, shook his hands vigorously, and said excitedly: "Brother, thank you, thank you!"
What are you grateful for?
I'm afraid only Chen Shide himself knows.
"As long as it's ordinary" is like a shot of insecticide, not only killing the pests on the crew of "Alive", it also inspired Chen Shide. In the subsequent filming, Chen Shide matched the lyrics of "As long as it's ordinary",
Many soulful lines have been added to the actors in "Alive", and the characters and plot have been enriched by more than one level.
While watching the trailer, Chen Shide cried many times. He couldn't believe that this movie was made by his own hands.
The plot is still the same plot.
But the realist thoughts revealed in it have already made Chen Shide's hair stand on end.
The darkest and brightest human natures begin to exist in the movie, and they compete with each other, and this competition itself releases infinite power.
This is no longer just a movie.
Chen Shide can predict that in the future, when this movie is released, the phenomenon it will bring and its impact on society will probably be immeasurable.
And all this is because of a song, "As Long as Ordinary".
Therefore, Chen Shide came to Donghai in person and placed his sincerity in front of Liao Yuan.
"five million!"
Chen Shide handed a bank card to Liao Yuan: "Actually, in my heart, this song is priceless. The enlightening power it brings to me is immeasurable. Although you may not believe it, it is exactly the case.
As the lyrics say: I have no regrets in this life, the fire of life has been lit."
"I have made dozens of movies in my life, but today I discovered that I have only made one real movie. I hope that on the day of the premiere of "Alive", Mr. Liao can be there to watch the movie in person. I believe he can write
You who produced this song will definitely like this kind of movie.”——
