Popular entertainment circle, you call it a little hobby

Chapter 2 Bancheng smoke sand, gold and iron horse

A guitar and a piano were the things that Wang Xuan had left for him after his company went bankrupt, and they were snatched back from the practice room by Yuan Bo himself.At that time, Yuanshen didn't know what was the use of grabbing these two things, so he thought that he had spent three years of youth in the company, so he had to keep something.

Unexpectedly, Yuanshen's move would be convenient for Wang Xuan.

After returning from the hospital, Wang Xuan began to work on the production of the theme song for Mr. Chen Kai's movie.Of course, what was produced was just a demo.

Teacher Chen Kai's upcoming movie is called "The General in Troubled Times". It roughly tells the story of a well-educated commoner, Liang Xiao, who is forced to join the army in troubled times. career.

Wang Xuan studied the script, and soon locked on a song in his mind, Xu Song's "Smoke and Sand in Half a City".

Write lyrics, compose music.The accompaniment of the original version of "Half City Smoke and Sand" required the use of electronic drums, pipa, flute, zither, guitar and other instruments. Most of these instruments Wang Xuan did not have, so he only used guitar accompaniment to record the demo.Then send the recorded song demo and complete score to Chen Kai.

After doing this, Wang Xuan seemed to lose all his strength at once, lying on the bed quietly in a daze.

He was thinking about what to do in this life.

In my previous life, I was a model. After trying to sing a song, I accidentally became popular. I was spotted by a scout from an entertainment company. After that, I started my career in the entertainment industry as a singer.

It's a pity that the company doesn't want to devote too much resources to him. Its positioning for him is to cover songs that have become popular in the past. Occasionally, one or two original works bought are mostly saliva songs. As a result, his singing career has been tepid.

For this reason, he had a falling out with the company and was hidden for three years.

His acting skills were honed during the snow storage period, and the achievements of the musical instrument master were also unlocked during the snow storage period.

Two years later, his contract with the company expired, and he signed up as a free agent for the second male casting of a movie, and was selected.After the film was launched, the male and female protagonists were not popular, but Wang Xuan, who played the second male lead, quickly rose to fame with his superb acting skills, and was valued by a large entertainment company and signed a contract.

This was a turning point in Wang Xuan's entertainment career.Since then, Wang Xuan has obtained a lot more resources, and they are all among the best resources. Movies are all male protagonists, variety shows are those popular variety shows, and even the songs are no longer those mouth-watering songs on the market.
With these resources, Wang Xuan quickly became popular, and before reaching the peak, he became popular in half the sky
It's a pity that he couldn't see his peak in his previous life. A car accident ruined his stage career, and he was forced to bid farewell to the stage and turn to the backstage.
At that time, Wang Xuan thought he was off the hook, but in retrospect, he actually had too many regrets in his entertainment career.That's right, he didn't even get the achievements of singer and actor, so how could he have no regrets?
Bid farewell to the stage and turn to the backstage, and have been engaged in work related to lyrics, music and scripts. Has it ever been a kind of unwillingness?

Maybe God let him travel to this world just to help him make up for his regrets.

His current body looks very good. With a height of 183, the template is Yang Yang on Earth.To Wang Xuan's surprise, in this life, his voice talent is exceptionally good, his voice is round and full, with a very high resolution, and he can control most of the range of sounds.

Good looks, wide vocal range, first-class acting skills, and standing on the shoulders of countless people on the earth. Such conditions are not in the entertainment industry, and Wang Xuan feels sorry for himself.

"Let's set a small goal first, and let's talk about winning the position of singer king." Wang Xuan thought to himself.

In fact, Wang Xuan knew what he was going to do from the beginning to the end, and he definitely wanted to break into the entertainment circle.All he is thinking about now is how to break through.For example, whether to sign a contract with the company, and what route to take.
On the other hand, when Wang Xuan sent the song demo to Chen Kai, Chen Kai also finished filming the last scene of "General in Troubled Times".Turning on my mobile phone, I found a new email in my PP mailbox. After clicking on it, I found that the sender was Wang Xuan.

"Half City Smoke and Sand"?The title of the song is interesting, but I don't know what the song is about.With this in mind, Chen Kai casually forwarded Wang Xuan's email to Li Tao, the head of the company's music department.

Turn around and forget about it.The main reason is that the movie has just finished, and he has too many things to do.For example, a series of post-production such as editing, sound effects, and special effects need to be handled by him.

Half an hour later, Chen Kai received a call from Li Tao: "Good old Chen, it turns out that you already have a suitable theme song for a movie, thanks to the fact that I'm still working hard to collect it for you, tell me , where did the song come from?"

"Where did the song come from?" Chen Kai was confused when he heard the words, and then he came to his senses, "You don't mean the song "Half City Smoke and Sand" that I transferred to your mailbox not long ago, right?"

"It's that song."

"Which song is suitable for my movie theme song?"

"It fits, it's almost like it's tailor-made for your movie."

"Wait for me at the company." Hearing this, Chen Kai couldn't sit still anymore, hurriedly returned to the company, found Li Tao, and confirmed again: ""Half City Smoke and Sand" is really suitable for the theme song of my movie?"

"Look at the lyrics first, it's tailor-made. I even want to suggest that you change the title of the movie to "Smoke and Sand in Half the City"," Li Tao said.

This evaluation is too high, Chen Kai couldn't wait to pick up the lyrics and read them together.

"Some love is like a broken kite

The ending is sad and the line in hand."

This first lyric attracted Chen Kai, when he saw the climax
"Half the city's smoke and sand soldiers are approaching the pool

For whom will the gold and iron horse fight for the world?

One will become ten thousand bones

How many gray hairs send away black hair
Half of the city smoke and sand blowing down with the wind
There is still a ray of concern in my hand

I only hope to return to the field and take off my armor
I can take back the tea you brewed.”

Chen Kai's hands holding the lyrics were trembling with excitement.That's right, this is the theme song he wants, even if he hasn't heard the song before, he can be sure that this is the theme song he wants based on the lyrics alone.

The background of his movie is a time of war and chaos. The protagonist Liang Xiao was originally a commoner who was forced to join the army and separated from his wife at home.

In the movie, Liang Xiao is a real military genius with a great strategy.After he joined the army, he started from a small soldier and killed the enemy on the battlefield. He was very brave and quickly stood out.It only took a short year from a small soldier to a centurion, a thousand commander, and then a captain.

And this is only the beginning of Liang Xiao's glory.Ever since Liang Xiao became a captain and initially grasped the military power, what he has learned in his life can be truly put to use.He led the troops to fight, and there were endless tricks and schemes. He won every battle and was invincible.His military rank has been rising all the way. In seven years, just seven short years, he has become the commander of the three armed forces from the captaincy.

And with only one last city left, Liang Xiao will be able to pacify the world.

But when Liang Xiao's army approached the city, he hesitated.Because once he pacifies the world, his power will reach its peak, he will control one-third of the country's army, he will have countless generals, capable people will emerge in large numbers, and with one order, the whole world will be at his fingertips.

Such power is absolutely unacceptable for the emperor.He understands this truth.The generals under him also understood.It seems that the only thing waiting for him is to support the world.His subordinates also supported him to fight for the world.

But God is pitiful, he was forced to join the army, and his biggest long-cherished wish was to one day be able to disarm and return to the fields, and be reunited with his wife. As for any good advice, he never thought about fighting for the world.

It seems that the world is about to be pacified and the war is ended, but it seems that the only way to wait for him is rebellion, how ridiculous is this?
Another one, the years of wars have killed too many people, and he has witnessed too many tragedies of white-haired people giving away black-haired people, and he has long been tired in his heart.I also don't want to make waves because of my own ambition.

After thinking about it again and again, at the end of the movie, Liang Xiao chose to feign death after he settled the world, gave up the world at his fingertips, retired to the mountains and forests with his wife, and lived a life without contention with the world.

This is the story told by Chen Kai's film, which roughly describes the cruelty of war and the longing for peace.

Li Tao is right, this song seems to be tailor-made for his movie, especially the climax part, which is very consistent with Liang Xiao's mood when he is approaching the city in the movie.

"That's him! How about Qu?" Chen Kai asked.

"Lin Rui couldn't put it down after listening to the demo, what do you think?" Li Tao asked back.

Chen Kai knew what he said.Lin Rui is a first-line singer in their company, second only to the existence of the king of singers, and the song that Lin Rui can't put it down is definitely a rare masterpiece.

"Where did this song come from? Who wrote it?" Li Tao was curious.

"Would you believe me if I said that this song was written by a newcomer?"

"Impossible, this song doesn't have ten years of skill, so I can't make it at all."

"But that's the truth. Not only is this song from a newcomer, but it's probably the first song he wrote." Chen Kai said with a smile, "Does Lin Rui have any ideas about this song?"

"Of course. It's not like you don't know how long Lin Rui has been stuck in the position of a first-line singer. This guy is obviously only one step away from the position of the king of singers, but he just can't get up. In the final analysis, he is missing Zhang Nade The album that was sold. The key is that Lin Rui is 32 this year. Among the first-line singers with Lin Rui's status in the entertainment industry, Lin Rui is too old, and if he doesn't get promoted, he will have no chance again." Li Tao said.

"I understand." Chen Kai nodded, and dialed Wang Xuan's number in front of Li Tao: "I received the song, it's very good. When are you free, let's talk face to face."
