Chapter 640 Scarborough Fair, "Classmates 2" is scheduled for summer vacation

Wang Xuan handed over the edited "Classmate 2" to Li Tao for review.

Li Tao sent Wang Xuan the details of the movie he mentioned.

[More than 1000 years ago, in the small town of Scarborough, the soldier Kobe Adam met the girl Allen.

Allen has bright eyes and white teeth, and he smiles like the sun in the sky, his eyebrows are curved, and there is a faint breath of violet in the brilliance.Adam has sword eyebrows and star eyes, handsome and strong.They fell in love at first sight and stuck together every day like all passionate lovers.

They eat together, go shopping and travel together, or taste the fragrance of books in the library, or watch a popcorn movie together on weekends, or stay together, quietly, without talking, just reflecting in each other's eyes.

Life is simple and happy.If there is no accident, they will continue to live an ordinary life like this.It was just a sudden war that broke their peaceful life.In order to defend his homeland, Adam could only respond to the call and go to the front.

How happy it is when we get together, how bitter it is when we part.

Allen bid farewell to Adam and followed the troops far away.She said she would wait for him, no matter how long it took, and told him to take care.He said that he would definitely return, and hoped that she would always be kind, gentle, beautiful, and bravely face the days without him and without peace.

They agreed that when he returned, he would marry her.When he returns, she will marry him.

This war has been going on for a long, long time.

Adam spends every day in the hail of guns and bullets, because of love, because of his deep attachment to the girl, so that he can survive until tomorrow in every painful night where life and death are uncertain.Whenever he feels that he can't hold on, the photo of Allen smiling like a flower in his pocket is his best consolation and gives him the courage to live.

And Allen would write letters to Adam on the front line every day after finishing his work, even though he knew it was impossible for the soldiers to receive them.From time to time, she would stand at the intersection where she and Adam parted ways, watching the direction Adam was leaving, without saying a word for a long time, like a watchdog.

After 10 years, the war was finally won.Adam made great achievements in battle, but was seriously wounded in the last battle.

He didn't want Allen to see his injured appearance, so he decided to go to the military hospital for treatment.Before going to the military hospital, he asked his comrade-in-arms Robinson to go to the small town of Scarborough, and help him say to Allen that everything is well, and he will be back soon, so that Allen should not worry.

Robinson agreed.

On the other side, after Alan learned that the war had been won, he came to the intersection every day, ready to welcome Adam to come over triumphantly, but it was not Adam who waited, but Robinson.

As soon as Robinson saw Alan, he was attracted by Alan's pure beauty.So he didn't intend to follow Adam's instructions, but lied to Allen that Adam was accidentally shot and died in the war, and let Allen mourn.Because he knew that it would take two years for Adam's injury to heal.

Two years was enough for him to deceive Allen.

Hearing the bad news, Allen felt like the sky was falling.She wanted to commit suicide and go to heaven to accompany Adam, but was stopped by Robinson.Robinson told her that Adam's best wish was that she could live strong, find someone to fall in love with, get married, and have children.

Alan remembered Adam's agreement with her before joining the army, and finally decided to live bravely.And Robinson would appear next to Allen every day, offering his hospitality.

Two years later, Adam returned from his injury and couldn't wait to find Ellen, but the town was no longer the same, and the place where he and she used to live had long since disappeared under the bombardment.He ran across the streets like crazy, looking for Allen, and accidentally learned that Allen and Robinson held a wedding in the church.

At that moment, Allen was dumbfounded.

One is his beloved girl, and the other is his best comrade-in-arms. He just asked Robinson to report safety to Allen on his behalf. He thought that Allen would stick to their love like him, but Allen and Robinson Binson is getting married?

The rain wet his face and soaked his military uniform, he felt bitingly cold, and he felt a deep betrayal.

No, he never believed that Alan would betray him, because Alan once said that he would wait for him no matter how long.He rushed into the church frantically. At this time, the wedding had reached the final part, and Robinson was about to put a ring on Ellen.

Adam yelled desperately, calling Alan's name desperately.

Hearing Adam's voice, Allen couldn't believe it. She turned to look at Adam, and after seeing Adam's figure, she rushed towards Adam desperately.It turned out that she agreed to marry Robinson not because she fell in love with Robinson, but because Robinson had been by her side and helped her a lot during this time. So when Robinson proposed to her, she agreed.

Now that the truth is out, it is naturally impossible for Allen to marry Robinson.

At the end of the story, Adam drags Allen, who is wearing a wedding dress, out of the church and boards a bus heading for a distant place. After many hardships, a pair of lovers finally get married]

The above is the general plot of the youth literary film filmed by Michael Nichols. The film is called "War and Peace".

After Wang Xuan watched the plot, he remembered a song.An English song that can be called an absolute classic, "Scarborough Fair", also called "Scarborough Fair" in Chinese.

This is a classic English song with beautiful melody. It was used as an episode of the 40th Oscar-winning film "The Graduate".But there is one thing to say, Wang Xuan feels that this song does not match the plot of "The Graduate", but the "War and Peace" filmed by Michael Nichols is more suitable.

Scarborough is a seaside town in North Yorkshire, England. Historically, the town has a 8-day market that lasts for 15 days starting from August 45 every year, attracting businessmen from all over England and even Europe. This is Scarborough Fair. reason.

Scarborough Fair also has a homophonic meaning, which is the homonym of Scar-Borrow-Fair, which means a market borrowed from trauma.In reality, there is no market where pain can be borrowed, but if you put it in an anti-war song, Scar-Borrow-Fair has an extended meaning, and that is Battle Field.

Replace Scarborough Fair with Battle Field, and the opening sentence of the song becomes "Are you going to battle field?" (Are you going to battle field?)
"Scarborough Fair" is an anti-war song. The chorus begins like a dusky and desolate autumn sky. It quietly tells the sufferings of the war, and expresses the desire for peace in a contrasting way.It also expressed the deep thoughts of a soldier who fought on the front line for his lover. He asked the people who went to the town of Scarborough to bring greetings to the girl.

After the first line of each lyric, a seemingly irrelevant line is inserted: "There are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme", representing the sweetness of love, strength, loyalty and courage respectively.It is also said that these four kinds of flowers all have hidden meanings representing "death", implying that the lover who is far away has long passed away.It is the repeated appearance of this line that makes the nostalgic atmosphere of the song intensified, and makes people full of infinite yearning for the natural and simple beautiful scenery of Si Town.

As one of the most famous and successful folk songs in the 20th century, and in line with the plot of the movie, it should not be a problem to apply for the theme song of the movie.

This song is destined to become a classic.

Chen Xueqi wants to take the international route, but Wang Xuan is reluctant to let her climb up one step at a time. The kingly way is to open up the market with a few songs.And this song "Scarborough Fair" is Chen Xueqi's magical weapon to break into the European and American markets.

After making the song, Wang Xuan recorded a demo, then gave the score and demo to Li Tao, asked Li Tao to register the copyright, and sent the demo to the other party.

Li Tao was surprised when he learned that Wang Xuan had prepared the movie's theme song.

As a well-known director in Hollywood, Michael Nichols' films naturally have no shortage of theme songs, and many well-known composers are willing to support him.As a result, this "War and Peace" actually wanted to publicly solicit the theme song from outsiders. In the final analysis, it was because the theme song of this movie was not easy to make.

But after Wang Xuan got the plot of the movie, he made the theme song and recorded the demo in only two days. How could Li Tao not be surprised?

But he knew that Wang Xuan would never target without purpose.For others, he would feel perfunctory when they finished a movie theme song in two days, but Wang Xuan, the shorter the time, the more confident he was, which meant that Wang Xuan had absolute confidence in this theme song.

Sure enough, he tried to listen to the demo.Although it was just some electronic sounds, they were so amazed that their eyes widened.

On the other side, Chen Xueqi hadn't seen Wang Xuan for two months.So after knowing that Wang Xuan had a ten-day break after filming "Classmate 2", he directly rejected the announcement during this period and returned to Shanghai to accompany Wang Xuan.

As soon as the two meet, there will be firewood and fire, and a small farewell is better than a new love.

Chen Xueqi, who has a big food addiction, gradually strengthened her combat power, and she actually lasted for more than half an hour before begging for mercy.For the next few days, Wang Xuan and Chen Xueqi stayed tenderly at home and cherished this short time together.

Then the two came to the company.

Wang Xuan directly helped Chen Xueqi record "Scarborough Fair". Chen Xueqi's voice is so nice.

What is the sound of nature, just listen to Chen Xueqi singing the song "Scarborough Fair".

Anyway, Wang Xuan was very surprised.

When Wang Xuan helps Chen Xueqi record a good song, there will be news about the theme song of the movie.

Li Tao excitedly told Wang Xuan that the theme song was chosen by Michael Nichols.However, the other party said that this theme song cannot be sung by Tianhai's designated singer, because the other party also has a co-singer, a top international queen.

Michael Nichols has always liked to cooperate with top international divas to increase the popularity of movies.

"Then what did you say to the other party?" Wang Xuan asked.

"I replied to the other party that the song must be sung by our designated singer, or they should find another theme song. Then they said they would think about it." Li Tao said.

Wang Xuan nodded: "That's right. I made this song mainly to help Qiqi break into the international market, not specifically for their movie. The reason why I chose to cooperate with them is just to give them a ride. It's just easier for Kiki to go.

You can reply to them now, you can think about it, but we only give them 3 days to think about it, and after 3 days are over, if they haven't thought about it, then we plan to publish the song directly. "Wang Xuan said, "By the way, this is the song I recorded for Qiqi, and you can also send it to them. "

"Understood!" Li Tao said, with some emotion in his heart.

Among other domestic entertainment companies, who would dare to be so strong against Michael Nichols?Would you like anything as long as you can choose a Michael Nichols movie theme song?After all, Michael Nichols is a well-known international director, and being able to choose the theme song of his film is an opportunity to become famous internationally.

Only Wang Xuan was not polite to Michael Nichols at all.If you want to use my theme song, the singer must be designated by me, and I only give you three days to think about it.

This is not a fledgling, nor is it arrogant, but confidence.The confidence to take Michael Nichols lightly.

Li Tao replied, and soon there was a new feedback.

"The other party originally had doubts about who we asked to sing the song "Scarborough Fair", but I told the other party that it was the singer of "dream it possible" and sent the version sung by Kiki, and the other party readily agreed. But the other party made a request, they hope that Qiqi can go to cooperate with their film promotion."

"No problem. Cooperating with the movie promotion is also an opportunity to increase Qiqi's international exposure. After the movie is released and the popularity passes, we will take the opportunity to release an English album for Qiqi to completely open up the international market." Wang Xuan said.

Chen Xueqi also has no objection.Although she really wanted to be by Wang Xuan's side, she also knew that if she wanted to give Wang Xuan the greatest help, she would take the international route and prove that international superstars are the best.Another point is that soon Wang Xuan will be filming a new movie, even if she wants to be by Wang Xuan's side, she won't be able to, unless she visits the crew every day.

Stars are like that.It looks bright, but it is actually very busy.Sometimes it takes two or three months when I get busy.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you about the cooperation method. The other party hopes to buy out this song, and the price offered is 500 million Eagle National Coins."

500 million Eagle National currency, converted into Hua National currency, is 3500 million, not a small amount, but Wang Xuan's answer is "impossible"!
"Don't say 500 million, even 1000 million is impossible. You tell the other party that the cooperation method of this song can only be authorized. Tianhai authorizes them to use it. The authorization fee can be slightly lower. 100 million should be currency, but it is only limited to "" The movie "War and Peace" is used. If they don't agree, then there is no need to talk about it." Wang Xuan said.

This is "Scarborough Fair", how could Wang Xuan accept the buyout, and only sell it for 500 million eagle coins.

"But won't this seem too strong?"

"No. Westerners are all bandit mentality. The strong respect you. The stronger you are towards him, the more he respects you. If you are cowardly and servile towards him, the more he looks down on you. He looks down on you from the bottom of his heart." Wang Xuan said.In fact, there were other reasons why Wang Xuan did not agree to the buyout. He knew what the other party was planning.

The song "Scarborough Fair" is too classic. After the buyout, the other party can completely authorize other people to cover the song, and they don't know how much they can receive just for the cover copyright fee.They can even remove Chen Xueqi as the original singer and directly prohibit Chen Xueqi from singing this song later.

"That's right." Li Tao nodded, telling the other party what Wang Xuan meant.

As expected, Michael Nichols agreed, and told Li Tao that "War and Peace" would be released in the summer, and asked Tianhai to cancel the announcement of Chen Xueqi's summer release, and used to cooperate with the movie promotion.Also, Michael Nichols plans to bind Wang Xuan to publicize together. After all, Wang Xuan is a top pianist in the world, and this name is still very famous in foreign countries.

In fact, Tianhai was so strong that Michael Nichols didn't turn his back on him. He liked the theme song "Scarborough Fair" for one reason, and Wang Xuan for another reason.As one of the top ten pianists in the world, Wang Xuan's status in the world is not inferior to him, so it is natural for him to be strong.

Chen Xueqi and Wang Xuan stayed warm for a few days before continuing to work.The main reason is that she will go to Eagle Country in mid-July to cooperate with the film promotion, and there are still some announcements that cannot be rejected, so she can only complete it during this time.

After Chen Xueqi left, Wang Xuan started writing the screenplay of "Once Upon a Time".He intends to get the script out before the end of June and make the sub-cameras. After that, he can set up the crew, cast the characters, and start filming.

Time flies, and soon came the end of June.Wang Xuan finally finished writing the script of "Once Upon a Time in Huang", but there are still half of the excessive scenes left unfinished, and it is estimated that it will take about 6 days.

It was also at the end of June that "Classmate 6" passed the trial.

Yes, "Classmate 2" only took 15 days from submission to trial, which is naturally due to Wang Xuan's golden body.You know, "Classmate 2" is a 52-episode TV series. Normally, let alone 15 days, 40 days may not necessarily pass the trial.

Tianhai informed Yangcheng Satellite TV of the news that "Classmate 2" had passed the review.

Yangcheng Satellite TV was overjoyed, and together with Tianhai, planned to put "Classmate 2" online in the summer.

Afterwards, Tianhai and Yangcheng Satellite TV's official Weibo simultaneously released the announcement that "Classmates 2" will be scheduled for the summer vacation. As soon as the announcement came out, the Internet immediately boiled.
