Chapter 22 Xiaoxu, listen to the uncle, don't you know?
"Lao Xu, did you really get this song from a neighborhood gentleman?"
"Yes, yes~" Although Xu Da answered, his eyes never left the TV for a moment, and his chest heaved with excitement.
"You don't know, Mr. Zhang is definitely a capable person! Not only can he write military songs, but he can also compose plays. Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhang's father is also a veteran. He served in both the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Get the medal!"
While explaining, while watching the TV, I couldn't help but sing loudly, keeping in time with the beat, and was very excited.
"Haha, look at Dad like that~" Xu Da's wife couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene.
It has been years since my husband was so excited.
When he heard this, his son also laughed out loud. Yes, he had never seen his father like this in his memory.
"Hey, phone, Dad, your phone is ringing." Suddenly seeing the phone ringing on the sofa, Xu Da's son hurriedly said.
"Lao Xu, please stop singing now. You have a phone here."
"We are soldiers, oh oh oh, come on, give it to me~"
"..." Xu Da's wife wiped away cold sweat.
"Hello? Oh, yes, it's me, I'm Xu Da, who are you?" Then Xu Da answered the phone and frowned at the unfamiliar number.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Xu, I am Zhao Yongsheng from Xiangnan Satellite TV, you can just call me Xiao Zhao. We just watched the live broadcast of CCTV, and the song "We Are Soldiers" you sang was so good... You
See if you have time recently, we hope to invite you to participate in a program on our station. You don’t have to worry about the singing fee, we..."
"Do you think you have time?"
"Yes, yes, ok, ok!" Holding the phone, Xu Da himself couldn't believe it.
A TV station actually invited me to perform!
I have only appeared on TV three or four times in my life, and they were always in groups with art troupes.
"What's wrong, Old Xu? Whose phone number is it?" Seeing her husband's expression, Xu Da's wife asked, and her son Xu Maogong also looked over.
"The TV station, it's the Xiangnan TV station that invited me to perform!" Xu Da looked excited again.
"Ah? Dad, you want to go to Hunan Satellite TV? Really or not!" My son Xu Maogong couldn't believe it. Hunan Satellite TV is one of the most popular satellite TVs in China, and it is the TV station with the largest audience among young people.
!
"It's true, it's true!" Xu Da also nodded excitedly.
In fact, as a singer of the Navy Art Troupe and a relatively unknown singer, Xu Da's usual income is not very high, at least it is incomparable to those of today's celebrities and pop music stars.
Commercial performances, endorsements, etc. are even more incomparable.
"Good thing, good thing, Lao Xu. Have they seen the song you sang?" His wife Liu Yan also asked excitedly.
Liu Yan knows that based on the information disclosed above, China is likely to cancel the art troupes of major armies next year or the year after. As a singer of art troupes, and not very famous, once they are cancelled, their income will drop sharply.
They all have to fend for themselves.
Liu Yan is still worried about this these days, wondering what her husband will do in the future.
Unexpectedly, someone immediately invited my husband to perform.
"Yes, yes! I'm going to Shonan the day after tomorrow!" Xu Da nodded vigorously. "I, wait, there is another call."
As he was talking, suddenly the phone rang again.
"Mr. Xu? I'm from Jiangdong TV... We would like to invite you to perform at our place."
Another phone call!
And just when Xu Da answered the call, his cell phone prompted that there were other calls coming at the same time.
After answering this call, Xu Da quickly answered another one.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Zhao Yong from Jiangdong xxx Group. Our group has just established a large-scale comprehensive store in Nanshan... which includes a shooting range, catering and entertainment, etc. Next Monday we will officially hold a store opening and tailoring ceremony, and we would like to invite you
…”
The call just hung up five minutes ago.
"Old Xu, congratulations! You are in the limelight this time. I just watched your live broadcast on CCTV. In less than half an hour, our art troupe has already received several calls asking us to go to the performance.
Okay...Okay, okay, see you tomorrow, see you tomorrow, okay!"
The call came from the head of the Northern Fleet Art Troupe.
"Hello, is this Teacher Xu? This is CCTV... We will have a cultural evening next month. Do you think you can attend?"
"Mr. Xu, we are on KouKou Music. That's right. Can you put your song and MV of "We Are Soldiers" on our KouKou Music? We hope to get your exclusive authorization and copyright.
The fee can be discussed."
"Hello, Mr. Xu, we are from NetEase Cloud Music..."
For a long time, Xu Da didn't dare to answer the phone.
Even Xu Da's wife and son were dumbfounded.
Is this song so influential? How many calls did your husband answer just now?
Some friends congratulated me, and seven or eight of them came to invite my husband to perform!
As a family, you look at me and I look at you, feeling excited and dreaming.
for a long time.
"I'm really convinced by Mr. Zhang. As expected, Mr. Zhang guessed it right!" Xu Da sighed.
"What's wrong? What did Mr. Zhang say?"
"That's right, what did Grandpa Zhang say, Dad?" Both his wife and son looked at Xu Da with curious faces.
Xu Da sighed and said with admiration, "Mr. Zhang was joking with me at that time. He said that maybe I could rely on this song for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang hit the nail on the head!"
"
"Ah? Real or fake?"
"Really, dad? Is Grandpa Zhang so powerful? Then you must take me to meet this grandpa when." Hearing this, his son Xu Maogong looked full of admiration.
"Okay, okay, I will take you to visit Mr. Zhang in person in a while. By the way, I have to tell Mr. Zhang the good news as soon as possible!" Thinking of this, Xu Da made a call.
Not only the good news, but also the calls from commercial performances, I have to choose carefully. After all, I am a soldier, and I must not answer all commercial performances, or lose the face of a soldier!
On the other side, when he heard what Xu Da said on the phone, Comrade Zhang, who was busy writing songs for "Zhang's Longevity Boxing", finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing, good thing, finally popular!
Not only is he famous, he also has a contract with 10% of the subsequent income from "We Are Soldiers".
And Zhang Jiangang believes that it won’t be long before someone comes to ask for songs!
"Okay, okay, congratulations to you, Xiao Xu! But it's a good thing to become famous, but you can't be too arrogant, you know? Don't accept all kinds of commercial performances, after all, you have a special status."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhang, I've written it all down."
If others told him not to be too arrogant compared to his peers, Xu Da might think that the other person was exaggerating, but Mr. Zhang was different. Mr. Zhang was the elders' instructing, and he had to listen.
the other side.
After hanging up the call from Xu Da, Zhang Jiangang took advantage of this excitement and wrote down the customized song he wanted for "Zhang's Longevity and Health Boxing" in one breath.
After finishing writing, Zhang Jiangang also sang and tried it out to get a feel for it.
Once you sing it, it feels like that! The longer it goes, the better it feels!
And just when old comrade Zhang Jiangang was proud of his customized song of longevity boxing.
In a luxurious guest room of the West Burton Hotel in Donghai City, the sound of piano drifted, giving it a bit of atmosphere, but only a little.
"No, no, brother Yunsheng, your song is still a bit lacking in feeling. It has enough atmosphere, but it lacks some sentiment. It is too chivalrous and does not match the theme of the movie. What I want is the sentiment of family and country, and the sentiment of the nation.
!" After listening to the new theme song played by Huang Yunsheng himself, Director Li Ke shook his head.
"Not yet? I think it's much better than the previous one." Huang Yunsheng looked at Li Ke.
"No, it feels wrong. What I want is not only chivalrous and gangster spirit, but also righteousness and national integrity! Let the audience think of our movie "Once Upon a Time in the Wrath of the Sea" as soon as they hear this song. Let everyone
This song comes to mind when I think of movies!" Li Ke said.
"By the way, it's the song "We Are Soldiers" that Mr. Xu from Inland just broadcast live on TV. It has a similar but different feeling. It's full of righteousness and masculinity.
The kind that is grand without losing its essence.”
Li Ke deliberately mentioned the song just now.
Huang Yunsheng frowned when he heard this. He also saw that song when it was live broadcast. It is indeed a classic.
However, Huang Yunsheng asked himself that he could not write that kind of song. After all, his living environment and background were different.
Similarly, Huang Yunsheng is also confident that the other party cannot write the theme song of "The Rage for Hegemony". This is due to his experience and life background.
"Then I'll try again?"
"Okay, don't worry. If it doesn't work, just relax." Li Ke patted Huang Yunsheng's shoulder.
"Director Li, since you like that song so much, would you like Teacher Xu to help you ask about the composer?" asked a senior member of the crew next to Li Ke.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"It's different, the types of songs are different, and the social environment, background and experience we live in are also different. I want righteousness and foundation, but what I want is not simply high-class, do you understand?"
"Besides, let me find a laid-off old man from a mainland community who has repaired shoes in front of the community to write a song. If you let people in the circle know how to view me, is there no one left in the Xiangjiang music scene? No, no, no."
