Chapter 28 Crazy Search for the Mysterious Old Man
On the other hand, Li Ke bought a new flight ticket to Donghai City, and at the same time kept contacting his friends in the mainland, especially Donghai City and Jiangdong Province.
Unfortunately, after asking my friends from Jiangdong and Donghai that I am familiar with, none of them knew what the song in the video was or who the old man in the video was.
Li Ke is determined to win this song, so he is so anxious at the moment that he can't even sit still.
"Who else? Who else is an insider from Donghai? Who else are the composers and lyricists I know in China!" Even after buying a new ticket to Donghai, Li Ke was still anxious.
Huang Yunsheng also contacted several fellow lyricists and composers he knew in China, but all of them turned out to be unremarkable.
Some people didn't even notice the song unless two people asked.
"Director Li, I didn't write this song, and I couldn't write it." Another friend, a domestic master of lyrics and composition, called after reading it.
Obviously the other party on the phone was also very shocked, especially after listening to the song and watching the short video after Li Ke's inquiry.
"Mr. Luo, are there any master-level or talented lyricists and composers in Donghai and Jiangdong Province in mainland China? Can Mr. Luo help me find out? To be honest, this song fits my new movie so well.
What a perfect partner!" Li Ke asked anxiously as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Director Li, I have asked both the Donghai City and Jiangdong Provincial Songwriters and Composition Associations, and it is true that I have never heard of this song." The other person also said regretfully, "But Director Li, I am the old man who led the old man and old lady to practice Tai Chi in the video.
I heard students mention it two days ago."
"Oh? Please tell me quickly."
"Oh, that's right, there was a square dance in the East China Sea that went viral on the Internet two days ago. It seems to be a video of this uncle leading a group of old men and women from the community to dance. I heard that an entertainment company recently wanted to buy the copyright to this song.
I haven’t found anyone yet.”
"grandfather?"
"Yes, he's an old man. Let's do it this way, Director Li, I'll help you inquire here, and you can find a way to find it yourself over there. Don't worry, after all, it's all on the Internet. You can definitely find it if you want to find it." The other person said.
.
Li Ke also knew that he would definitely find it if he looked for it, but he was anxious. If he didn't find it until the movie was released, Li Ke would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
Because he feels that this movie, paired with this song, must be a classic and a legend!
Li Ke has this confidence and is also confident that his vision is absolutely correct!
"People from the East China Sea, people from the East China Sea!" After hanging up the phone, Li Ke rummaged through his phone to see if there was any other fish from the East China Sea that had slipped through the net, even though it would be time to board the plane to the East China Sea in a few minutes.
.
"Director Li, the representative Xu of the Northern Fleet a few days ago is the teacher Xu Daxu who sang the song "We Are Soldiers". Isn't he from Donghai?" Seeing Li Ke keep talking about Donghai people, Huang Yunsheng thought of something next to him.
.
"Teacher Xu, Xu Da?" Li Ke was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, it's the Xu Da who recommended to you that the neighborhood uncle wrote the theme song for you." Huang Yunsheng added, and even laughed as he spoke.
Seeing Huang Yunsheng's smile, Li Ke couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, it's him, I remembered it."
Although the two appeared at the celebration banquet at the same time, they were only acquaintances and only met two or three times.
Another person is from a literary and art group, and he is from the entertainment industry, not from the same circle, so Li Ke does not have a close relationship with the other person.
But it is indeed funny to ask an old man to write songs for him. Although he is not an acquaintance, this is a joke that Li Ke will remember for a lifetime.
"That teacher Xu is even more impossible. He is from Bel Canto and ethnic music, and from the military art troupe. It is even more impossible for him to be exposed to this type of music." Li Ke shook his head subconsciously.
The military songs and national songs sung by the art troupe are not the same type as the song in the video at all. The charm and background of the songs are different.
"I'll give it a try, alas~" Although he thought so, at this moment Li Ke could only act as a doctor. I hope there is some news, because there is only such a Donghai person left among the people he knows.
While thinking about it, Li Ke dialed the phone.
At the same time, Li Ke also looked at the time and was about to board the plane again.
The call went through.
"Hello Director Li."
"Hello Teacher Xu, why is it so noisy over there? Is it because my signal is not good?"
"No, no, I am participating in the rehearsal of CCTV's gala performance here. I have just arrived at the airport and am preparing to fly to Shonan TV to participate in a program. There are many fans at the airport."
"Uh, okay. I want to ask you, Mr. Xu, if you have seen a video today, I~"
"Ah? What did you say? Please speak louder~"
"..."
"I said there was a short video of Tai Chi practicing in the square today. Oh, it's not Tai Chi. It's a short video of longevity boxing. You~"
"Sorry, sorry, please speak louder~"
"..." I'm going to knock your lungs out.
Teacher Xu, did your song "We Soldiers" become so popular after you finished singing it?
Forget it, Li Ke shook his head at this moment and was about to hang up the phone.
but.
"Director Li, I'm sorry. I'm a little confused here. How about this? You add me on WeChat. You add me on WeChat and we can chat on WeChat. I have a flight to catch and I'm about to get on the plane. You send it first and wait until I get off the plane.
Reply to you. Oh, my WeChat ID is this mobile phone number, you can just search for me, okay, that’s it~”
"..."
Originally, he was ready to give up, but now that Xu Da had spoken out, Li Ke still added the other party's WeChat account.
Fortunately, the other party agreed quickly and the two became good friends.
"What's wrong, Director Li?" Soon the other party sent a message.
Li Ke had given up hope, but still sent the previous short video link.
"Teacher Xu Da, have you heard of this song? Do you know who wrote this song? Also." Li Ke had just sent the video link and was still editing the text.
The information is already given on the opposite side of the clinker.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhang?" The other party took a look at the old man on the cover of the linked video and replied directly.
"Zhang? Mr. Zhang? Which Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu? Do you know this old man who leads the uncles and aunts to practice longevity boxing?" Li Ke was anxious, so he stopped texting and replied directly by voice.
Yes! Xu Da knows that uncle!
Great, just have clues! Then you can follow the clues and find the composer and lyricist through the old man who teaches the exercises.
The other person responded quickly.
"That's Mr. Zhang, the same Mr. Zhang who I recommended to Director Li to write the theme song for you last time." The other side came back.
"Ah?" Li Ke's face changed when he heard this voice, with a look of disbelief.
Huang Yunsheng next to him looked at Li Ke when he saw this.
"This teacher Xu said that the old man in the video is the community elder who recommended me to write songs last time." He glanced at Huang Yunsheng and Li Ke and said.
"Ah?" Almost the same deformed expression appeared on Huang Yunsheng's face.
At this moment, Xu Da, who was opposite him, apparently clicked on the link and listened to the song.
"Oh my god! This song is definitely a classic!" Xu Da over there returned excitedly.
"Who says it's not? Teacher Xu. Then, Teacher Xu, since you recognize this old man, can you contact him for me and ask him who wrote this song? I want him to be the star of "Once Upon a Time in the Wrath of the Sea"
The theme song of "Struggle for Hegemony"." Li Ke sent the voice message with a look of anticipation and excitement.
And the reply to him was.
"This song is most likely written by Mr. Zhang! Please wait a moment. I'll ask Mr. Zhang on WeChat. His daughter-in-law just bought him a mobile phone two days ago, and he and I just added him on WeChat." The other person replied.
arrive.
Nine times out of ten, it was written by Mr. Zhang? That uncle from the community? And I heard Xu Da said that this uncle even repaired shoes at the gate of the community after he was laid off?
This, this is incredible!
Li Ke felt like his brain was short-circuited.
Now, are all the community leaders in mainland China so awesome?
At this moment, Li Ke was both looking forward to and feeling anxious.
He hoped that the song was written by the neighborhood uncle, but also hoped that it wasn't.
The former is for the movie, and the latter is for his own self-esteem and the years of higher education he has received. He cannot bear this blow.
Huang Yunsheng's face looked even weirder, even distorted.
Written by an old man who was laid off and repaired shoes at the door of a community? Bang bang bang, Huang Yunsheng wanted to slap himself in the face.
And a moment later, sure enough!
"It's done. Mr. Zhang said he wrote it. He said it was a customized theme song he wrote for Zhang's Health and Longevity Boxing. Director Li, the plane is about to take off. I'll turn off my phone first. Let's talk after we get off the plane~
"
"..."
Let’s talk after we get off the plane. Teacher Xu, are you so busy?
Li Ke felt that Teacher Xu was preparing to sing a song that would last a lifetime.
