Zuo Le, who had unkempt hair and a slovenly beard, came out of the editing room where he had stayed for more than a month. As soon as he took a breath of fresh air, Fatty Chen, who came after hearing the news, drove him to a nearby bathing center with a look of disgust on his face.
After soaking comfortably in the pool for more than half an hour, Zuo Le felt that his whole body had lost several kilograms, and he felt as if he was stepping on a cloud.
After grabbing Fatty Chen who wanted to continue working on the project, Zuo Le shook his head at him.
"Let's get down to business first. Have you found the singer and recording studio I asked you to contact?"
Fatty Chen was a little disappointed and complained about Zuo Le's workaholic, but he followed Zuo Le out of the bathing center honestly.
In fact, with Fatty Chen's henpecked character, even if he went upstairs, he would just take a steam bath and then order a regular massage to relax. As for those real-life projects, he really didn't have the guts.
Of course, today's society is harmonious and beautiful, and bathing centers do not engage in such dirty business, but are doing formal and legal business...
****
On the way, Fatty Chen introduced the singer he had found to Zuo Le while driving.
The singer's surname is Han, and his name is Han Fang. He is 40 years old this year. At the beginning of the century, he was a minor celebrity and could barely be considered a third-rate singer. Unfortunately, he failed to maintain his popularity and soon disappeared from everyone.
Now that I'm older, I can't compete with the endless stream of newcomers. In order to support my family, I can only hang out in bars or mentor newcomers to collect tuition fees, and occasionally take on odd jobs. My income is not high, but I can still get by.
But don't look at this guy, although he is average, but his singing skills are really solid.
Whether it's ethnic bel canto or pop rock, just open your mouth and come. In the music circle of Quancheng, in terms of professional level alone, Han Fang is definitely a master.
Zuo Le, who was sitting in the back seat, listened to Fatty Chen's introduction and nodded secretly.
In fact, he has also heard of this famous Korean character. It's not expensive to live a good life, so he is suitable to sing the opening and ending songs of "Underground Traffic Station".
Half an hour later.
Fatty Chen drove to the pre-arranged recording studio, and Zuo Le also met the singer Han Fang who had been waiting here for a long time.
Although this old man is 40 years old, he looks very fashionable.
Wearing jeans, a leather jacket, Martin boots, and a flowery belt with a small silver chain tied around his waist, plus a gorgeous wavy hair, he looked like a rock veteran.
However, although his dress was a bit bohemian, Han Fang still kept a low profile when facing the two financial backers, Zuo Le and Fatty Chen.
Director Zuo, Producer Chen, you, no problem and other words kept coming out of my mouth.
At first glance, he looks like a standard low-level singer who has been tempered by countless social beatings...
Zuo Lewuxin and Han Fang went to discuss the hardships of low-level singers. When he saw that the singer was already in place, he directly took Han Fang to the recording studio to try out the song.
If the Korean side meets the requirements, then record the song directly. If not, hurry up and replace it.

Recording studio
Zuo Le took out some prepared music scores and handed them to the sound engineer and Han Fang, asking them to familiarize themselves with the lyrics and music as soon as possible.
In the original version of "Underground Traffic Station", apart from the soundtrack BGM, there were no other interludes. There were only two songs in the whole play, one for the opening and one for the ending.
Zuo Le plans to copy it as it is.
Among them, the opening song "Eighth Route Army Pulling the Bolt" is very easy to use.
Because China itself also has such a very similar song, but the lyrics are slightly different.
Zuo Le purchased the copyright of this song, then slightly changed the lyrics according to the plot, and easily became the opening song of "Underground Traffic Station".
The ending song "Song of the Guerrilla" is a bit complicated...
Zuo Lezai carefully checked Huaguo's music software and music library information and found that Huaguo did not have any information about this song.
In desperation, Zuo Le had no choice but to pick up the script from the video player in his mind, and then started to pick up the music score.
Fortunately, when Zuo Le was in college, he joined the school's guitar club in order to chase a girl. Later, the girl failed to succeed, but he accidentally learned a lot of guitar and vocal knowledge, and he almost ran for the position of vice president.
Although I haven't touched the guitar for many years, I still have the foundation. With the help of some professional software, I can copy the lyrics and music smoothly.
In order to reward himself for his efforts in this matter, Zuo Le dutifully signed his name behind the songwriter.
Hoho~
…………
Let’s not talk about someone’s shamelessness and let’s get back to the main story.
These two songs have simple tunes and are not difficult to sing. Han Fang, who has excellent professional ability, did not take long to become familiar with the music scores.
After greeting Zuo Le and the sound engineer, Han Fang walked into the recording studio. After a while, a sonorous voice sounded.
"We are all sharpshooters. Every bullet kills an enemy. We are all flying troops, even if the mountains are high and the water is deep..."
Fatty Chen took off the headphones from his head and poked Zuo Le next to him: "How about it? Is the singer my brother is looking for good?"
Zuo Le nodded: "40,000 yuan is not wasted."
"Of course."
Fatty Chen felt shy and said quite proudly: "Old Han is a professional after all, and his singing skills are on display here. Although it costs some money, it's better than letting the leading actors do it themselves before.
It’s not that I’m bad-mouthing people behind their backs. Except for one Wu Yue, he’s just okay. The remaining ones all have broken gong voices. Liu Jinhai can also sing, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he easily turns to the Jinmen Allegro. Taken together,
It’s better to find a professional singer, which is more cost-effective and worry-free.”
Zuo Le couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He didn't know that the actors he found were all so disappointing.
You must know that the opening and ending themes of the original "Underground Traffic Station" were all performed by the leading actors themselves, but it was Zuo Le's turn.
well………
If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult for everyone to take the leading role, he would have spent 40,000 yuan to hire a singer.
…………
Although Han Fang was very good at singing, it still took him three days to record the two songs under the demands of the recording engineer for excellence.
After hearing the finished product, Zuo Le was very satisfied. He happily asked Fatty Chen and Han Fang to settle the bill, and then contacted a special effects company to ask for help in creating the animation title and the original's distinctive "comic book-style" opening and ending.
During this period, in addition to going out to supervise work and inspect goods, Zuo Le still spent the rest of his time in the editing room every day in post-production.
With his hard work day and night, "Underground Traffic Station" is progressing rapidly. If everything goes well, it is expected to be officially completed by the end of January.
Zuo Le took the time to call Fang Weimin and reported on the later progress. At the same time, he also wanted to urge Fang to increase the schedule of "Underground Traffic Station".
Fang Weimin immediately agreed and told Zuo Le happily that the excellent ratings performance of "The Kind Grass" has improved the situation of the production center, and the schedule of "Underground Traffic Station" also has more room for improvement.
Zuo Le was busy with the post-production of "Underground Traffic Station" during this period, and he really didn't know much about the ratings of "The Kind Grass". When he heard this, he was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly asked Lao Fang.
