The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 94

At ten o'clock in the morning on June 2001, 6, it was raining lightly in the north of Wanwan.

Accompanied by a local, Li Shengyao drove to his destination in a car.

From his perspective as a traveler, the curved buildings are very stingy, there are very few tall office buildings, most of them are small buildings with five or six floors, and the streets are not spacious, very similar to the old badly planned buildings in the mainland. Small county.

More than ten years later, most of the small counties in the mainland have built new urban areas, high-rise buildings are everywhere, and the streets are mostly six-lane streets, which are even more beautiful than the Wanwan provincial capital at this time.

However, if you compare it with the current inland, Wanwan is still much more prosperous.

The common people on the street should dress more stylishly.

At this time, the accompanying local people proudly introduced Wan Wan with the attitude of city people looking at country people.

Li Shengyao didn't bother to pay attention to such a small card, he looked out the window, occasionally responded, thinking about those handed down movies of Wan Wan.

"Yi Yi", "My Childhood Memories", "City of Sadness", "Kuring Street Murder Incident"...

The directors of Wanwan have a very strong literati atmosphere, and they like to use some small characters to record the times.

And the story is very interesting and interesting.

In this regard, there is still a gap between major mainland directors.

Li Shengyao's reputation is not well-known now, and time is running out.

If he has free time in the future, he really wants to visit film masters like Yang Dechang and Hou Xiaoxian.

The car turned around, and after 10 minutes, they arrived at their destination—a residence at No. 76 Xinming Street, Jilong.

This is a very ordinary small courtyard, but the owner here is not ordinary.

The owner's name is Chen Xiaoxia, who is called the pop godmother of the Chinese music scene by the outside world.

This godmother is different from that of Chai Zhiping. Chai Zhiping is standing in the wind, and luck is very important.

This is a real powerful person.

He started writing songs at the age of seven, and started selling songs to make money at the age of 14.

When Qi Qin was still a brick-moving brother, she taught Qi Qin to sing and play the guitar with her own hands, and made Qi Qin popular with her own hands.

Then she made Meng Tingwei popular with "Whose Tears Are Flying" and "Look at the Moon's Face".

She wrote more than 600 songs before Lee Sung Yew crossed, including "Promise", "Ten Years", "Angel Among the Devils" and other hit songs.

Her songs have a taste of folk songs, and they are very life-like. She likes to use the bits and pieces of her life to record her feelings.

Moreover, her creative cycle is very long, and she is still writing songs at the age of 70, which is especially rare.

Such a master is strong enough to write songs, arrange music for "Winter Sonata", there is no problem at all.

The only problem is how to impress her.

Fortunately, she also has shortcomings.

Chen Xiaoxia is similar to most bending artists, she grew up in a poor family.

However, it is different from other artists who grow up and keep their wallets carefully.

Chen Xiaoxia was poor when she was a child, and she spent money quickly when she grew up. It can be said that she has no plan. She is the moonlight and she is the sun. She belongs to the state of being drunk today.

In the 80s, she often had no money to eat.

It is said that Qi Qin would give her money every few days.

In the 90s, Chen Xiaoxia was a little older, spending a little less money, and even bought a house, but she never liked to save money, and the balance of her bank card was never very large.

As long as someone invites a song, she will usually answer.

The quality is hard to say.

She wrote a lot of songs for Qi Qin in the early years, but she stopped writing later. She said that none of the songs she wrote later were worthy of Qi Qin.

This shows her own views on the later songs.

Li Shengyao didn't expect Chen Xiaoxia to write him such good songs as "Ten Years" and "Promise", as long as the songs are of an above-average level.

What he expects more is that Chen Xiaoxia will help him with the soundtrack, creating a faint sense of sadness for "Winter Sonata".

"Boom boom boom!"

Li Shengyao knocked on the door, and soon an aunt in her fifties stepped forward to answer the door.

Li Shengyao had already made an appointment, explaining his purpose of coming, and his aunt led Li Shengyao into the small courtyard.

"She hasn't gotten up yet, wait a moment and sit down by yourself, I'll call her up."

Li Shengyao found a wooden chair in the living room and sat down.

The furniture in this living room is all wooden, there is no sofa, and the chairs look a bit old, but they are quite cool.

Not long after, the person he was looking for came out.

Chen Xiaoxia looks about 50 years old, of medium height, long hair, dark skin, looks a bit like a bendy native, slightly fat, and has a temperament very similar to that kind of aunt who is about to retire.

If it hadn't been known for a long time that Chen Xiaoxia looked like this, I believe no one would believe that this is the godmother of the Chinese music scene.

"You are Director Li, sit down and wait for me to wash your face."

Chen Xiaoxia's personality is still very good, otherwise it would be impossible to make friends with a boring gourd like Qi Qin.

Not long after, after washing, Chen Xiaoxia sat opposite Li Shengyao.

"Have you had breakfast yet? Would you like to ask Auntie to cook it for you? The preserved egg porridge she cooks is delicious. I can eat three bowls of it."

She washed her face, but it looked the same as before.

In terms of temperament, she really doesn't have it.

But the character is really easy-going.

Li Shengyao smiled and shook his head, "Senior, I've already eaten."

"Okay, tell me about you."

Li Shengyao had already contacted Chen Xiaoxia by phone, and probably told him about him, but Chen Xiaoxia still wanted to have an interview.

He understands this, after all he needs Chen Xiaoxia to go to Yanjing, and the Wanwan people at this time are still a little apprehensive about going north to the mainland.

Li Shengyao then said what he meant, he needed Chen Xiaoxia to help him write the theme song, ending song, interlude, at least six songs.

In addition, he has to help him with the soundtrack of "Winter Sonata", the total price is 30.

He doesn't need the copyright of the song, and he doesn't care who sings it.

During his journey north to Yanjing, he covered all the transportation expenses, board and lodging expenses.

He will pay for the song recording fee.

The price is still very attractive, and with Chen Xiaoxia's reputation, the songs she wrote are scrambled by singers on Hong Kong Island, and she doesn't need to pay.

only……

Chen Xiaoxia frowned slightly, "Can you do it in Wanwan?"

"Senior, this drama is very important to me. The reason I am looking for you is because I think only you can grasp it, but I still hope you go to Yanjing and watch this drama. Maybe you will have new ideas. feeling."

"why?"

"This drama is beautifully filmed. I believe that after watching the drama, you will have different inspirations."

Chen Xiaoxia raised her head and looked at Li Shengyao upon hearing that, "Is it beautiful?"

Composers are very sensitive, emotionally delicate people.

Chen Xiaoxia is no exception, but she actually doesn't like watching TV dramas, she finds them boring.

She also doesn't like traveling and feels tired.

She likes to watch art exhibitions, film exhibitions, and works that can be admired while lying down.

Li Shengyao nodded affirmatively, "It's beautiful, I promise."

Chen Xiaoxia was still a little hesitant, but she thought that the six songs plus the soundtrack would cost 30 yuan, and the copyright still belonged to her, so she could earn a fortune by selling it to singers after recording.

She still couldn't resist the temptation, "Okay, wait for me for two days, I'll make preparations and go with you the day after tomorrow."
