Chapter 343 Enlightenment
"Alive" crew.

"Director Chen, Director Chen!"

Assistant Afan's voice was harsh on the set, Chen Shide put down the microphone, asked the assistant director to watch the monitor, got up and walked towards Afan.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"The song you asked Wu Kangcheng to ask for has been found, and it has already been sent!" Assistant Afan said excitedly.

Chen Shide was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized: "Liao Yuan?"

"Yes, it's Liao Yuan's song." Afan nodded desperately.

Chen Shide frowned: "So fast? How much is the asking price?"

"A price?" Afan thought for a while: "I have contacted Liao Yuan's assistant, and according to Liao Yuan's meaning, you are the one who will look at it."

Chen Shide smiled: "Interesting, this Liao Yuan is really as rumored, he thinks very highly of himself, okay, I like it, talented people are like this, what about singing?"

"Here it is!" Afan raised his mobile phone: "This song is called "Only Ordinary". It was sung by Liao Yuan and a female singer under Xiao Huangyu Company. Director Chen, can I play it now?"

"Wait a minute!" Chen Shide waved his hand, signaling Afan to go to the dressing room next to him.

There was no one in the dressing room. After closing the door, Afan immediately clicked on the email on his mobile phone, hung the MP3 attachment he had downloaded on the player, and clicked on it.

Soon, a faint guitar sound sounded, and a male voice rang in my ears without any warning.

"Maybe far away or yesterday

Here or on the other side..."

Chen Shide showed a dignified look and listened carefully.

The more he listened, the more solemn his face became.

"These lyrics..."

He was a little surprised.

It can be heard that Liao Yuan did his homework in advance when composing this song.

When he heard the lyrics "Without the halo of God, you and I are born ordinary", Chen Shide was obviously taken aback.

At this moment, Afan's hand holding up the phone was trembling a little. Although his attention was not on the song at all, the singing made him feel heartbroken. The sadness in that voice was beyond words. It was about to make him depressed.

What the hell, what song is this, for the dead?
Afan cursed in his heart. As a contestant who likes to entertain himself in nightclubs, he usually listens to electronic dance music mostly. The electronic music in dance music brings him inner dynamics and makes him feel happy.

This low and gloomy singing voice made him feel very uncomfortable.

he does not like.

But if you put it in the movie "To Live"...

Afan was full of admiration for Liao Yuan in his heart. In the past two months, in the crew of "Alive", he saw clearly the various miserable conditions of leukemia patients.

This song "As long as it is ordinary" really fits this movie just right. It can even be said that this song is enough to elevate the movie "To Live" to a very high ideological level.

An assistant can see it so thoroughly, the director Chen Shide stands taller and farther away, so he naturally knows the weight of this song.

It also made him feel more sympathetic.

When filming the movie "To Live", from the very beginning, he took the risk of not passing the review and losing his investment to shoot.

This is often the case for realistic-themed movies, but the situation shown in this movie is even more miserable.

It is difficult for drug sellers, and it is also difficult for doctors.

It is difficult for the police, and it is also difficult for the patients.

In this fucking world, it's even harder without money.

But in this indifferent world, it is not easy to be affectionate...

"Don't want the aura of God

as long as you are ordinary
I have no regrets in this life
The fire of life is lit..."

Just after listening to a song, heavy footsteps came from outside the dressing room, "Director Chen, the investor would like to treat you to dinner tonight, you..."

"Fuck off!"

When Director Chen's roar came, the people outside the door trembled in fright, and immediately left silently.

In the dressing room, Chen Shide signaled his assistant A Fan to play "Only Ordinary" for a second time.

After listening, there is a request to play the third time...

Fourth time...

Fifth time...

For an entire hour, Chen Shide sat there motionless, his glasses were round but out of focus, apparently distracted.

When No.40 was played three times, Chen Shide suddenly stood up and sighed: "If there is no disease in this world, why worry about the dust on the shelf?"

"My movie doesn't seem to be worthy of this song..."

That night, Chen Shide worked hard to write and added many details to the script of the movie "To Live", making the whole movie more full and the characters more three-dimensional.

On the second day, regardless of the objections of the investors, Chen Shide resolutely replaced several moth actors installed by the investors in the crew, and restarted filming.

The completion rate of the plot, which had already reached nearly 90%, was temporarily added by Chen Shide, and the completion rate dropped to 70% in an instant.

But no one dared to persuade, because after reading the script, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Director Chen was doing it for the good of the movie.

Although the investors complained a bit, after learning that Chen Shide had invited Liao Yuanlai to compose a theme song for the movie "To Live", they all quietly shut their mouths, and could only cast the few actors who had been inserted in. to other crews.

A week later, Chen Shide went to Donghai in person to meet Liao Yuan.

As soon as they met, Chen Shide couldn't help shaking hands with Liao Yuan vigorously, shaking vigorously, and said excitedly: "Brother, thank you, thank you!"

Thanks for what?
I'm afraid only Chen Shide himself knows.

"As long as it's ordinary" is like a shot of insecticide, not to mention killing the pests of the crew of "Alive", it also inspired Chen Shide. In the subsequent filming, Chen Shide fit the lyrics of "As long as it is ordinary", Many soul lines have been added to the actors in "To Live", and more than one level has been enriched in terms of character design and plot.

While watching the trailer, Chen Shide cried many times. He couldn't believe that this movie was made by himself.

The plot is still the same.

But the realism revealed in it has made Chen Shide's hair stand on end.

The darkest and brightest humanity begins to exist in the movie, and they are competing with each other, and this kind of competition itself is releasing infinite power.

This is more than just a movie.

Chen Shide can predict that in the future, when this movie is released, the phenomenon it will bring and its impact on society may be immeasurable.

And all of this is because of a song, "Just Be Ordinary".

Therefore, Chen Shide came to Donghai in person and put his sincerity in front of Liao Yuan.

"500 million!"

Chen Shide handed a bank card to Liao Yuan: "Actually, in my heart, this song is priceless. The power of enlightenment it brings to me is immeasurable. Although you may not believe it, the fact is exactly the same. As written in the lyrics: This heart has no regrets in this life, and the fire of life has been ignited."

"I have made dozens of movies in my life, but I didn't realize until today that I only made one real movie—I hope that on the day of the premiere of "To Live", Mr. Liao will be there to watch the movie in person, I believe, You who can write this song will definitely like this movie."
