I turned out to be top-notch!

After the initial impression rating, Zhou Dingran and other five instructors conducted stage rehearsals for the first episode of their respective programs, and then temporarily settled in the hotel arranged by the program team.

Tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, "National Heartbeat" will start recording the first episode.

There are 100 students in "The Heart of the Nation". Either alone or in a team, they will perform on the first stage tomorrow morning.

Because there are too many programs, it is impossible to watch all the performances in one day, so before the official start of recording, the director team told the instructors to be mentally prepared to work all night.

After all, they were paid to do things, and they were given a lot of notification fees, so even if they stayed up all night, the five instructors had no complaints.

Director Zuo Qiuliang also hosted a banquet for the tutor group and all the staff at a nearby hotel the night before. During the banquet, Wei Xiao pulled Zhou Dingran and asked: "Does Wen Chao Gong have any new works recently? I want to release a new album this year. , I’m a little short of songs…”

"I don't know about this either..."

"Ask me! Don't worry, the price is definitely not a problem. I don't expect a work like "The Lonely Warrior". As long as it is written by Wenzhao Gong, I can buy it at a high price."

Wei Xiao looked at Zhou Dingran, his eyes full of smiles: "I won't let you help me in vain. I owe you a favor. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me and I will help you as much as I can!"

"Then I'll ask you later."

Zhou Dingran nodded.

Wei Xiao had said so, and it was hard for him to refuse. Besides, the favor of a top-tier singer was still very valuable, so he agreed.

He now has nearly 200 million favorability points in his hand. It doesn’t feel too bad to spend millions of favorability points to buy songs. There are also many songs suitable for Wei Xiao, because Wei Xiao’s voice and singing style are close to Eason Chan in his previous life. , that's why Zhou Dingran gave the song "Lonely Brave Man" to Wei Xiaolai to sing.

However, Eason Chan's songs are also valuable, especially since most of them are in Cantonese and are not suitable for the current Mandarin market.

This makes Zhou Dingran tangled, because Eason Chan's Mandarin songs are not only popular all over the country, but they are definitely classics, such as "Ten Years", "Love Transfer", etc.

If Zhou Dingran were to give these songs away, he would be reluctant to part with them because he might not be able to use them in the future.

But there are countless classic songs in the system mall, and it is unrealistic for him to monopolize them all. He is not a karaoke machine, and of course he cannot always focus on the music scene. Therefore, after repeated consideration, Zhou Dingran felt that the song "Elimination" Maybe you can take action.

This song is written and composed by Jay Chou, and it can be regarded as one of the classic songs in Eason Chan's series. Jay Chou even regretted not long after throwing this song out, and wanted to take it back and sing it himself, but However, the work was already given, so I gave up.

But every time this song was sung at a concert, Jay Chou's love for this song could be seen. Every word and every sentence was very careful and affectionate. The version sung by Jay Chou was also not the same at all. Not weaker than Eason Chan himself.

But Zhou Dingran is not very interested in this song. He knows that this song will be popular to a certain extent, but the quality of the lyrics is still incomparable with first-line lyricists such as Fang Wenshan, so it is not a pity to trade it.

After making up his mind, Zhou Dingran decided to give the song to Wei Xiao in a few days.

But what he and Wei Xiao said was watched by Wu Xuefei, Cao Zhan and Pu Lanyu who were standing next to them.

Cao Zhan and Pu Lanyu don't have much feelings for each other yet. After all, the two have collaborated for many years and have left many classics in the music world, so they don't really want Wen Chai Gong's works.

But Wu Xuefei was different. She had personally seen Zhou Dingran rely on Wen Chao Gong's song to defeat all the opponents in the world on the stage of "The King of Masked Singer". She had a blind worship of Wen Chao Gong's works, so between Zhou Dingran and After Wei Xiao finished talking, he couldn't help but come over and said to Zhou Dingran with a smile on his face: "Teacher Zhou, please don't favor one thing over another. I also want to have a representative work. The price is definitely not a problem. No matter how high it is, I won't do it." If you can buy it, even if you sell it, you won’t lose a cent of the royalties from Mr. Wenzhao Gong..."

After expressing her request, Wu Xuefei suddenly lowered her voice and said: "If Mr. Zhou wants to enter the National Opera House, I can help run it..."

Zhou Dingran looked at Wu Xuefei's eager look and said, "I don't want to enter the National Opera House."

"what?"

Wu Xuefei was stunned, but before she could recover, she heard Zhou Dingran say: "But I want to enter the National Theater. I wonder if Teacher Wu has any connections?"

"National Theater..."

Wu Xuefei felt a little incredible, but immediately realized, yes, Zhou Dingran is not only a singer, but his personal major is acting. He even entered the Nortel Performance Department for the college entrance examination. He is obviously more interested in acting, so he wants to enter the National The theater is also understandable.

"Yes!" Wu Xuefei nodded and continued in a low voice: "I will ask for you right now and wait for my news."

After saying that, he stood up, picked up his phone and walked out of the hotel.

Zhou Dingran was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wu Xuefei to be so resolute. If he could really enter the National Theater, Zhou Dingran felt that it would not be a problem to create an album for Wu Xuefei, let alone a song.

But at the same time, he was also hesitant. After all, Yi Yang Qianxi, who was at the height of his power in his previous life, suffered a big setback because he joined the National Theater and was criticized by public opinion. Now that he has entered the company with such a trust relationship, will he also be criticized by public opinion? ?

Thinking of this, Zhou Dingran was a little shaken about entering the National Theater.

But Wu Xuefei soon brought back the news.

"I asked my colleagues at the National Theater and they said that the unit has a talent introduction policy, but the premise is that you have excellent film and television works, and it is best to have won some awards."

Wu Xuefei said with some embarrassment: "Otherwise, you have to start from scratch. Submit your application now. After the three-year inspection period is over, if your performance is qualified, you can join the National Theater. During the inspection period, you must be on call and be successful." Complete all performance tasks assigned by the unit..."

The more Wu Xuefei talked, the less confident she became. Finally, she simply changed the subject and said, "Why don't I introduce you to the National Opera House? You just won the Golden Melody Award for Best Male Singer, and you have made great achievements in the music industry. I am faced with introducing a talent like you." I'm very interested, so I can help..."

Zhou Dingran smiled: "Forget it, Teacher Wu, thank you for your kindness, but at the moment I just want to enter the National Theater to study drama performance."

"Okay." Wu Xuefei was a little regretful, but in the end she respected Zhou Dingran's choice, and knowing that she couldn't help, she didn't have the nerve to mention the song invitation again.

Zhou Dingran didn't care. There would be a long time to come. If Wu Xuefei really suited his temperament, he would help. Otherwise, forget it. After all, the two of them hadn't been together for long, didn't know each other well, and there was no need to throw out songs just for a favor.

After the dinner, Zhou Dingran returned to his residence and spent two million favorability points to buy the song "Elimination". He immediately performed copyright certification on Haijiao.com, then found Wei Xiao's mailbox and put the attachment of the song "Elimination". Go in and select a timer to send it in three days.

As a result, Zhou Dingran had no experience in operating it for the first time, so he directly sent the email instantly with one swipe of his hand.

After Zhou Dingran was stunned for more than ten seconds, he saw the option to withdraw the email. He was about to click one button to withdraw, but after waiting for a few seconds, the web page showed that the email had been read and could not be withdrawn. the other side.

Wei Xiao, who has just returned to the hotel, is watching the draft of the first stage of "The Heart of the Nation" tomorrow.

Then he found an email from Zhou Dingran appearing on his tablet. When Wei Xiao saw the three words "Zhou Dingran", he clicked on the attachment to download and read it without thinking.

""disuse"?"

When Wei Xiao looked at the title of the song, he also saw the suffix of lyricist and composer, "A work by Wen Chao Gong?"

He was inexplicably surprised. This little Zhou was so awesome. He just mentioned the song invitation to the other party during the dinner, but in less than two hours, he directly sent the work of "Wen Chao Gong".

Wei Xiao smiled, not doubting that he was there: "Good boy, you are so awesome, I owe you a big favor!"

He didn't expect that Xiao Zhou had such a close relationship with Mr. Wen Chao!

Wei Xiao immediately began to enjoy the song "Elimination".

He first glanced at the lyrics and found them to be mediocre. Although they were considered excellent, they were completely incomparable to the talent of "The Lonely Warrior", let alone "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Lanting Preface". , my heart suddenly sank slightly, feeling a little perfunctory.

Wei Xiao didn't worry too much about this. After all, this was the work of Wen Chao Gong, who won the Golden Melody Award for Best Songwriter. But even if it was Wen Chao Gong, it was impossible for every work to be of high quality.

He patiently read through the lyrics. The lyrics are simple and straightforward. They mainly talk about the heroine's uneasiness and speculation when facing love, and even her ultimate choice to escape.

In the lyrics, the male protagonist also wants to give up this relationship freely. Looking back on the past, the road of love was bumpy, and he realized that love was not as perfect as described in the love songs, and the heroine's uneasiness won her trust, so he finally chose to leave, and then the hero admitted defeat!

The lyrics are very simple and it even feels like the work of a middle school student.

But Wei Xiao didn't believe it, so he took out the music score and read it.

"Well, the melody is so simple..."

As a senior musician, when Wei Xiao looks at the music score, he can see the composition level in the music score at a glance. In his opinion, the melody transformed by these notes is indeed straightforward and simple, but when he looks at it carefully and puts that When the two notes were strung together, Wei Xiao suddenly felt blessed and felt as if the Big Bang had appeared in his mind.

The inspiration for singing came out of his mouth along with this seemingly simple melody: "I can only say that I lost. Maybe you were afraid. Our memories have no wrinkles, but you ended the period with leaving -"

The high note sung casually almost perfectly restored the singing method of the song.

And when Wei Xiao felt the singing, he immediately realized the feeling this song brought to people.

"You can never forget someone you have loved seriously. You think you are missing a person, but in fact, you are missing a whole life."

After Wei Xiao sang these lyrics, a passage from a film and television work inexplicably popped into his mind, and he suddenly felt numb all over.

"The taste is right, so right, just like "The Lonely Warrior", it seems to be tailor-made for me!"

Wei Xiao was excited. After reading the lyrics and music scores several times, he couldn't wait to call Zhou Dingran.

As soon as the call was connected, Wei Xiao said: "Teacher Zhou, this song "Elimination" suits me very well. I decided to put this song in the title song of my new album. I know it is not convenient for Wen Chao Gong to show up. Please help me thank Wen Chao Gong." , and also, how much is the copyright fee? Provide me with a bank account number, and I will call the copywriter right away."

Zhou Dingran felt a little embarrassed when he thought that he had accidentally pressed the wrong button. He coughed and said, "Teacher Wenzhaogong also said that this song is suitable for you. As for the royalties, you can pay it as you see!"

Wei Xiao saw that Zhou Dingran was unwilling to provide his bank account number, so he smiled and said: "In that case, I will just do the copyright transaction directly on Haijiao.com as I did when I purchased the copyright of "The Lonely Warrior" last time."

Zhou Dingran nodded and said, "Okay."

Purchasing copyright through Haijiao.com requires a certain transaction fee, which is why Wei Xiao wants to transfer the income directly, which not only saves transaction fees, but also reflects mutual trust.

But since Zhou Dingran was unwilling, Wei Xiao naturally decided to keep things official.

Nowadays, the outside world basically starts with three million yuan for Wenchao Gong's works, but this is just the beginning. After all, Wenchao Gong's works are priceless and have no market. It is said to be three million, but if there is no one with more than five million, it is impossible to have the same price as Wenchao Gong. Opportunities to contact.

Wei Xiao obviously understood the market price, so when choosing the copyright transaction, he casually typed out a figure of eight million, and then made a large transfer with one click.

After the two parties signed a copyright transaction contract on Haijiao.com, the song "Elimination" became Wei Xiao's work.

Wei Xiao spent the whole night making a simple arrangement of "Elimination". With the surge of adrenaline, he didn't care at all. He stayed up all night with great energy and didn't fall asleep with a smile until four in the morning.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Zhou Dingran saw Wei Xiao coming to the first stage performance of "The Heart of the Nation" with dark circles under his eyes.

If it weren't for the makeup artist's amazing makeup skills, Wei Xiao would definitely look like an idiot who stayed up all night watching movies.

In the dressing room, Wu Xuefei looked at Wei Xiao, who was full of excitement, and suddenly asked: "Teacher Wei, did you get it?"

"What?" Wei Xiao asked in confusion.

Wu Xuefei became more and more sure, and said with some envy: "It's... the work of Teacher Wenzhao Gong?"

Wei Xiao smiled: "I got it."

Wu Xuefei was jealous.

At this moment, the voice of director Zuo Qiuliang appeared on the radio: "Dear instructors, please pay attention. The students are about to enter. The students are about to enter. The countdown to the start of recording is ten minutes..."

Soon, when the instructors finished putting on their makeup and sat on the five instructor chairs one by one, the lights on the scene came on.

Against the backdrop of dazzling lights, the large-scale female group talent show "National Heartbeat", which has cost hundreds of millions to create, has officially begun its first stage competition. (End of chapter)
