Xiao Qian always believes that "The Hard Sutra" is the best martial arts theme song.
Both the music itself and the philosophical ideas contained in it are unsurpassed.
In particular, this song perfectly fits the content of "Dragon Babu" and almost gives a high-level summary of all the plots in the book.
"Dragon" without this song as its theme song would have no soul.
Fortunately, Zhou Huajian was excavated, otherwise, the song would have been there, but no one would be able to sing it.
"The Hard Sutra" is really difficult. Apart from Zhou Huajian, Xiao Qian really can't think of anyone who can master it.
"After singing this song, half my life is gone."
Zhou Huajian was called over and his face turned green when he saw the score.
However, he admired Xiao Qian's creative ability, and he could even write Cantonese songs.
"My only request is to sing well before I die."
Zhou Huajian thought of everything, but he didn't expect Xiao Qian to say this.
"Isn't the treatment in our company pretty good? Why are you treating me like this?"
Xiao Qian chuckled evilly.
"Why do you think I recruited you into the company? Just for this song."
Zhou Huajian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also knew that Xiao Qian was just joking. He was also very happy when he encountered a good song.
Of course, he knew better what this song would mean to him once it was sung.
Li Qingjue, Liu Zhihao and Lin Linlin are the happiest people recently, because Xiao Qian focuses on music production, and good songs can be released without any money.
They were responsible for composing the music and were the first to appreciate the work. I don’t know how many Xiao Qian’s music fans were envious to death.
"This song is amazing. You have produced so many martial arts songs, but this one is the most unsurpassed."
Amidst Liu Zhihao's admiration, Lin Linlin was worried.
“I don’t know if the audience will accept using a Cantonese song as the theme song?”
Xiao Qian was not worried at all.
"The most important thing is that the songs are good. Cantonese is not our language anymore? It's not an English song, so there won't be much controversy."
He can say this mainly because the reputation of "The Hard to Recite Sutra" in his previous life gave him confidence.
Of course, it is definitely impossible without any controversy at all.
After all, the songs in the previous life were produced by TVB, which is a Cantonese-speaking area. It is normal to use Cantonese songs as theme songs. Now "Dragon" is produced in mainland China, so it uses Cantonese songs, which is not friendly to some viewers.
In addition, there is not much in this world, except for the gangsters everywhere. No matter what, they can find something to blame.
The post-production of "Dragon" has been completed, but the only thing missing was the soundtrack. After Xiao Qian took action, it quickly became a finished product.
This is Starlight's first TV series with a production cost of over 100 million. Xiao Qian took it very seriously and did the post-review personally.
I have to say that although Zhang Beard’s saucy ideas come one after another, Starlight’s team is still very reliable. The style and rhythm of the entire work adhere to Starlight’s usual requirements, and are more sophisticated than the previous versions of 97 and 03.
"Report for trial."
Xiao Qian made the decision and "Dragon" officially entered the market.
This time is different from the past. CCTV faces many opponents.
Several times before, Xiao Qian gave up many interests and chose to cooperate with CCTV. But this time CCTV underwent internal reorganization and Yang Lin left, and his relationship with CCTV was no longer so close.
Before "Dragon" was put into production, it was discussed with CCTV. However, CCTV changed its past practice and no longer made upfront investment in film and television dramas. Instead, it planned to wait for Starlight production to be completed and make a quote.
Once you do this, you will have to face competition from other satellite TV stations.
Now that the domestic film and television market is very mature, similar operations are much faster than before.
In the past, this kind of bidding activity would involve holding lively press conferences. Now, this is no longer necessary. If interested, various satellite TV stations can bid directly by email.
In this way, CCTV really has no advantage.
In the end, Modu Satellite TV made a big hemorrhage and won the first-round exclusive broadcast rights of "Dragon Movie" at a guaranteed base price of 5.3 million per episode plus 47% of the overall advertising share.
A month later, "Dragon Movie" obtained the broadcast license, and Magic City TV quickly became the focus of the television industry.
At the same time, CCTV has also become the focus of public complaints.
"Who contributed to the previous ratings? Don't you have any points in your heart? You don't want the best Tian Long Ba Bu?"
"I really don't understand CCTV's brain circuit. What should I do if I can't receive Modu TV here and can't watch Tian Long Ba Bu?"
"Are you upstairs on Zenith Star? You can access the Internet, but you can't watch Magic City TV? I suggest you go to BD here."
But no matter what, looking at the Heat Magic City stage and up and down the stage will make you laugh out of your dreams.
The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year!
As the New Year atmosphere begins to get rich, "Dragon Babu" begins to meet the audience.
For this drama, many viewers gave up opportunities for gatherings and entertainment and stayed in front of the TV.
Modu TV is also an old partner of Starlight and is already very familiar with how Starlight’s TV series works.
Eight o'clock is the time when the TV series starts broadcasting, and Modu Channel specially places the advertising time to start at 7:55.
In this way, it does not violate the agreement with Starlight, but it can broadcast more advertisements and earn a lot more money.
Xingguang was also helpless about this. After all, they did not insert advertisements during the broadcast period of the TV series, and it did not affect the normal broadcast of the TV series. As for other TV stations placing advertisements at other times, they had no control over it.
Although the audience was tortured by the advertisements, fortunately the TV series started on time at eight o'clock sharp.
The first time I had no experience, I was tricked by Modu TV. After I gain experience, I will just change the channel at eight o'clock next time.
Whether a martial arts drama is good or not depends only on the theme song.
As soon as the melody of "The Hard to Recite Sutra" came out, the audience was electrified.
"Wow, it's actually a Cantonese song. It's the first time I've seen a Cantonese song in a mainland TV series."
"Why should it be made in Cantonese? Can't it be made in Mandarin?"
"Didn't you read the lyrics? It really doesn't work."
No matter what the outside world says, "The Hard to Recite Sutra" is a top-notch song. Along with the good songs and the gorgeous prelude, the audience has already felt that what they are watching will be a very exciting TV series.
Soon, the prologue passed and the plot officially began.
In the dark night, groups of soldiers stood ready on the ancient city walls. Through subtitles, the audience was told that this was Lingzhou City in Xixia.
Many people are wondering, if the beginning of "Dragon" is not in Dali, why did it end up in Xixia?
In the dark night, two masters wearing night clothes slowly slid upward along the corner of the city wall.
Yes, it's gliding, not crawling.
In martial arts, this move is called Gecko Wall Movement, and it is the top skill for climbing over walls and sneaking in.
In the previous life, TVB's cameras were not good, and the pictures produced were very colorful and dark, so the audience could not see the details. But now, through the high-definition lenses of Starlight, many viewers were impressed by the plot.
Marshal Helian Tieshu of Xixia attempted to seize the territory of the Song Dynasty. The Beggar Gang discovered his plot. In order to protect the country, the Chivalrous Beggar Gang decided to assassinate Helian Tieshu.
Next, naturally comes the fight and pursuit after the failed assassination.
Xixia Yipintang and the four evil men appeared one after another.
When Yue Laosan broke through the wall, he did not introduce who this person was, but surprisingly, the audience knew that it was Yue Laosan.
This is the result of distinctive characters, and it also fully reflects the importance of obedience.
Ye Erniang, Yun Zhonghe and the guards rushed out. The assassination plan failed, and the two members of the Beggar Clan began to retreat.
In a previous life, when discussing the opening part of the TVB version of "Dragon", most people focused on Xiao Feng's incredible kung fu. But in fact, the chase scene was also very exciting.
Not to mention anything else, just the scene of Xixia soldiers still forming a rigorous formation when chasing and killing is worthy of learning by many colleagues.
The two members of the Beggar Gang jumped over the wall to escape, while the Xixia people opened the city gate wide and saw a wave of cavalry.
The masters flying on the grass and the fierce cavalry were paired with the tense music, which excited the audience's blood.
Damn it, it's obviously different from the novel, why is it so enjoyable to read?
The manpower was sometimes poor. Even though the two men from the Beggar Clan were very good at light martial arts, they were still surrounded by the cavalry.
But other reinforcements from the Beggar Clan also arrived. Bai Shijing and others joined the battle group, and fought hard with the masters of Xixia.
There was a big problem with TVB's martial arts dramas in the previous life, and that was that they didn't care at all about the action design of the supporting characters. As a result, the protagonists fought very well, but the fighting scenes of the supporting characters seemed very stretched.
Xiao Qian will never allow this to happen. Even the supporting actors, even if they are very young, must receive action training if they want to star in Starlight's scenes.
Therefore, this fighting scene between the supporting characters and the supporting actors is still extremely amazing.
The deputy gang leaders and elders of the Beggar Clan fully demonstrated why they have become the top leaders of the largest gang in the world, and the masters of Yipintang also cooperated very closely.
Gradually, as more and more reinforcements came from Xixia, everyone in the Beggar Clan began to fall into a desperate situation, and they were injured one after another.
Seeing that the situation was extremely dangerous, the soundtrack suddenly became excited. A horse riding in the distance took the lead, rushing into the battlefield carrying an obviously different person.
Just like Yue Laosan, as soon as they saw this person, the audience knew that this must be the protagonist Xiao Feng!
