Chapter 83 Someone wants to take my job? !

Lin Mo sat bored in the car and sighed deeply.

The three women were like ten thousand ducks, chattering and arguing.

"Ding!"

A WeChat message popped up, from Xu Zheng.

"Lin Mo, do you have time recently? A good friend of mine is the director of "The Legend of Wukong". He is currently worrying about the theme song of the movie. Are you interested?"

"The Legend of Wukong"?
  Lin Mo was not very impressed by this movie, but the theme song was particularly impressive!

Especially the version sung by Zhang Qi, Bai Jugang and others in the program [Brothers Overcoming Troubles]!

Burning the whole place!

Especially since the original song has reached such a high level, it is really not easy for the adaptation to bring such surprises!
  The Shakuhachi at the beginning is amazing, and I particularly like the part in the middle where the demonic nature and the Buddha nature combine. It’s very artistic!
  The voices sung by each person respectively represent the demonic nature of the Monkey, the Buddha nature of the Fighting and Victorious Buddha, and the spirituality of the Monkey King!
  Demons, Buddhas, and spirits are indispensable, and the sound of Sanskrit passes through Wukong. Just like the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties in Journey to the West, even if there is one less difficulty, it is impossible to retrieve the true scripture and rank among the immortals.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and agreed without hesitation.

At the Hengdian Film and Television Base, the crew of "The Legend of Wukong".

Liu Nianzhong was drinking tea with several people from the crew.

Among them are the male and female protagonists of this drama. The male protagonist is Xu Jing, a famous domestic action actor. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is now a famous domestic kung fu superstar. His net worth has reached more than one billion a few years ago.

He has a prominent position in the entertainment industry. This time, even Liu Nianzhong found him to play the role of Sun Wukong through a friend's relationship.

The heroine is Liang Yaxuan, a popular little diva whom Lin Mo also knows.

Director Liu was initially concerned about Ran Yaxuan's role as the heroine. He was worried that her acting skills would not be up to par and would ruin the entire movie.

But Liang Yaxuan's popularity and traffic are there, and she was asked to play the heroine just to attract some male audiences.

Facts have proved that her acting skills are passable.

The entire movie is almost finished, but the theme song that has always given Liu Nianzhong a headache has never been solved!

At this time, a middle-aged man sitting next to Xu Jing suddenly spoke:

"Old Liu, I heard that you asked Lin Mo to write the theme song. How was it? Are you dissatisfied with the song I wrote? Are you looking for a kid who just debuted to steal my job?"

Xu Jing and Liang Yaxuan were both surprised.

These words carry a strong smell of gunpowder. In the entire entertainment industry, the number of people who dare to talk to Liu Nianzhong like this can be counted on ten fingers.

This complaining middle-aged man is Guo Yuncong, the film soundtrack master who has worked with Liu Nianzhong for many years.

The two have been collaborating since Liu Nianzhong's first famous movie.

One of the things that has won wide acclaim for Liu Nianzhong's movies is the soundtrack, and these are all inseparable from Guo Yuncong's contribution!

This movie is of course no exception. It was directed by Guo Yuncong, who arranged the soundtrack and theme song.

However, what made Guo Yuncong unhappy was that he wrote four pieces of music back and forth, but Liu Nianzhong was not satisfied with them. He always said that they did not reflect the unruly spirit of Sun Wukong in his mind.

Now they have hired a fresh-faced Lin Mo to write the theme song. Isn’t this nonsense?

Guo Yuncong was full of resentment.

"Lao Guo, don't be so angry. Xu Zheng and AMY recommended this young man to me at the same time. They said he is very, very talented in music."

"So please come and give it a try~ Besides, I haven't agreed yet."

"According to Xu Zheng, Lin Mo may not be too busy yet. Not only is he still participating in the [Singer] competition, he is even filming in the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine". Even the powerful actors in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" He was also asked to compose the theme song for the film!”

Liu Nianzhong said truthfully.

AMY refers to Liang Yaxuan, which is her English name.

Hearing this, Guo Yuncong glared at Liang Yaxuan.

Liang Yaxuan didn't show any weakness and pushed back with his eyes.

Although Master Guo had complaints in his heart, he had nothing to say. He heard that in addition to starring as the heroine, Liang Yaxuan also helped the crew to attract two investors. Liu Nianzhong chose her as the heroine despite all the opinions, and he could not do anything about her. .

Although he is one of the top film soundtrack masters in the country, he is nothing compared to such a popular little diva.

"Does that mean all the songs I wrote before are useless?" Guo Yuncong said dissatisfied.

"That's not the case, Lao Guo. No one knows what the songs written by Hua Chenyu are like now. If they are not good, I will have to use what you wrote in the end."

Liu Nianzhong said with a smile.

Guo Yuncong snorted, leaned back on the sofa, and stopped talking.

Liang Yaxuan snickered inwardly when he saw him like this.

There was no way, who could be better than Lin Mo in her mind?

Not to mention you are an old man, even the Four Heavenly Kings are not as talented as one-tenth of Lin Mo!

So, she recommended Lin Mo to Director Liu. Director Liu happened to have heard Xu Zheng tell a lot about Lin Mo's deeds and went to listen to his songs.

Sure enough, Xu Zheng definitely did not recommend the wrong talented person!

Only then did Xu Zheng invite Lin Mo to sing the theme song.

three days later.

Lin Mo successfully finished filming "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Xu Zheng hurriedly brought Lin Mo to the crew of "The Legend of Wukong"!
  "Director Liu, haha, long time no see. Let me introduce you. This is Lin Mo and this is Director Liu Nianzhong and Liu Da."

Xu Zheng introduced them to them with a smile.

"Hello, Director Liu." Lin Mo greeted politely.

"Hello, it's true that heroes come from young. He is indeed a superstar talent that is sought after by people all over the Internet!"

Liu Nianzhong looked at Lin and said with a smile.

"Director Liu won the award, it's just a deserved reputation."

"Lin Mo, I like your songs so much! I'm your biggest fan~ Hehe!"

Lin Mo followed the sweet voice and looked over and found a very good-looking young lady.

Xu Zheng took the initiative to introduce again: "This is the female lead, Ms. Liang Yaxuan!"

"Hello, Miss Liang!"

"Don't call me Miss Liang, just call me Yaxuan." Liang Yaxuan pouted her lips pretending to be angry, and she was very charming in an instant.

"Actually, Yaxuan also fully recommended you to me this time. If it weren't for brother Xu Zhen and Yaxuan, I might be worrying about the theme song of the movie now!"

Lin Mo was stunned. Before, he was curious as to why Liu Nianzhong thought of looking for him. It turned out that Xu Zheng and Liang Yaxuan had both recommended him.

But how could Liang Yaxuan recommend him?
  I have never met her once, just because she likes my songs?

It would be great if you have more fans!

Lin Mo was confused in his heart, but still smiled and said politely: "Then I have to thank Sister Yaxuan first, but I still don't know if I can help you, Director Liu?"

Before coming, Lin Mo had already made a decision in his mind. He must first make sure the quality of the movie passed the standard, and then decide whether to compose a theme song.

If it's a bad movie, then you definitely can't let that song accompany a bad movie.

Moreover, he is not willing to make money from bad movies.

I am currently in the ranks of first-line singers, and my next works and reputation are very important!

Although Liu Nianzhong is a fifth-generation director, he has never made bad movies.

"The Myth of Heaven" he made three years ago was a movie that failed miserably at the box office and both in terms of reputation and box office.

"I believe that with your talent, you won't let me down." Liu Nianzhong looked at Lin with an expectant expression.

Liang Yaxuan next to him also had a smile of affirmation.

Lin Mo saw that the polite words were almost finished and went straight to the point: "I want to read the script first. If there is a trailer, please give it to me."

Liu Nianzhong nodded appreciatively and said, "No problem."

He appreciates this style of doing things, doing practical things and not talking nonsense.

Then he asked his assistant to bring over the script and trailer of "The Legend of Wukong".

Lin Mo took it and looked at it intently.

Lin Mo spent more than ten minutes reading the script and trailer, and understood the general plot of the movie, which was not much different from the plot of the previous life.

This "The Legend of Wukong" is different from most Journey to the West themes. It focuses not on the journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, but on the story of Sun Wukong.

When Sun Wukong was playing in the Heavenly Palace, he met a fairy named Zixia Fairy and fell in love with each other. Later, he was forced to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, although he eventually achieved enlightenment.

But he found that he still liked Zixia Fairy in his heart, so he resolutely gave up his Buddhist position and chose to run away with Zixia Fairy.

However, Heaven naturally did not allow it and sent out heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest him. So after becoming a Buddha, Sun Wukong once again fought against the gods and Buddhas in Heaven with one person.

But last time, it was for reputation, this time, it's for love!

Although the plot is a bit cliché.

But fortunately, the lines, scenes, and actors' acting skills are all relatively solid. Lin Mo has a hunch that this movie will be a hit.

At this moment, a familiar system sound sounded in my mind.

【Ding! System task release: Ask the host to complete the creation of the theme song for the movie "The Legend of Wukong" and conquer more than 80% of the fans! 】

[After completion, you can receive system rewards! 】

A new system task has been released.

"How's it going?" Liu Nianzhong asked, "Can you write it? Time is tight now. We have to finalize the song before the press conference in five days."

"Because the announcement stage is coming soon, we can't delay it. Can you make it in five days?"

Liu Nianzhong's eyes showed expectation and anxiety.

Lin Mo nodded: "Five days are enough."

Guo Yuncong, who had been eavesdropping, finally couldn't help snorting when he heard this, feeling that the young man in front of him could only talk nonsense.

He had spent a full month and a half with his team on this theme song, but Liu Nianzhong was still not satisfied!
  It took another month to make the revisions in the middle.

He couldn't help but said: "Young man, writing a movie theme song is different from writing an ordinary song. Don't make such big talk that it's a trivial matter if you don't come to Taiwan now. If it delays the release of our movie, the loss will be tens of millions."

Of course Lin Mo knew.

Different from ordinary songs, the creation of movie theme songs must fit the story theme of the movie. If it is written well, it can make the movie better expressed and sublimated. But if the theme song does not match the movie itself, it will become a failure. .

He was about to say a few words, but Liang Yaxuan spoke first:

"Lao Deng! Lin Mo hasn't spoken yet, why are you so anxious?!"

"Is it possible that you are afraid that the songs he writes will be better than yours and make you lose face?"

After speaking, Liang Yaxuan looked at Guo Yuncong with a meaningful smile.

Liang Yaxuan actually took the initiative to stand up for himself?

Guo Yuncong snorted coldly and said with disdain:

"Are you kidding me? When it comes to songwriting alone, he's pretty good at it. But when it comes to movie theme songs, I've been working on them for decades, so I'm going to lose to him, a young talent from a garbage talent show [Tomorrow's Superstar]?"

"Haha~~" Liang Yaxuan laughed sweetly, "Yeah, I almost forgot. You have written a lifetime of movie theme songs, but why can't I remember any of them?"

"Excuse me, which song of yours is better than "Nocturne" or "Xiaochou"???"

"The superstar has released a series of songs, and the first one is a hit all over the Internet!"

"you!!!"

Master Guo was choked by Liang Yaxuan's words and was speechless.

"Yaxuan, that's enough. Lao Guo is still considered your senior. Why do you call him Lao Deng?"

Liu Nianzhong stopped him.

Liang Yaxuan stuck out his tongue and said no more.

Director Liu turned to Lin Mo again: "Brother Lin Mo, are you sure?"

"No problem." Lin Mo put down the script and read it with a smile.

Seeing Lin Mo's confident look, Xu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Writing a movie theme song in five days is naturally difficult for ordinary singers, but did he know that when Lin Mo wrote "Nocturne", "Soothing Sorrow", and "The Wind Rises", it was just a matter of time. It’s just less than a whole morning!

five days?

More than enough~
  Just as she thought of this, Lin Mo spoke again.

"Director Liu, five days is too long!"

"Let me show you the style first. If you think it's OK, I'll write it again so as not to waste our time."

Lin Mo's indifference was at the opposite extreme, and everyone present was shocked!
  "Lin Mo, you..." Xu Zheng couldn't help but said anxiously.

I've only read the script for more than ten minutes, and already I have the general style of the theme song?
  You don’t even have time to use your brain, right? Can the song you come up with like this sound good?

"What do you think of the style?" Director Liu asked confused.

"When I passed by just now, I saw a piano and erhu in a room. I'll show you the intro. If you think it's okay, I'll compose the theme song."

When he just read the script, he already had an idea in his mind.

That song coincides very well with the storyline and theme of "The Legend of Wukong".

It can be said that it was tailor-made for this movie!

Therefore, he dared to demonstrate the prelude of the theme song live.

But other people at the scene were full of doubts.

Can you come up with the intro to a song right after reading the script?

Is there such a musical genius in the world? Then there's no need for anyone else to mess around.

Everyone looked at Lin Mo with eyes full of shock, confusion, and confusion.

"You can also play the erhu?"

Liang Yaxuan opened her eyes wide.

In her mind, it was not surprising that Lin Mo, who had always been prolific in original creations, could play guitar and piano.

But I can play the erhu
  Totally beyond her expectations.

"Of course." Lin Mo said with a smile: "It's not very good, it's just okay."

In fact, the system had drawn a master-level erhu skill in a lottery before, but he had never had the opportunity to practice it.

Xu Zheng on the side was even more surprised after hearing this, with admiration in his eyes.

I never expected that an idol could play so many musical instruments, including the erhu. He is indeed a music superstar!

"Of course it's no problem." Liu Niazhong said quickly.

"Boy, in front of so many people, I hope you won't slap yourself in the face." Master Guo said sarcastically.

He has been in the film and television industry for decades, and he has never seen anyone who can write a song after just one glance at the script. Can what he writes like this still be called a song? Can you still listen?

He didn't believe that such an awesome genius existed!

Lin Mo didn't take it seriously and said in his heart.

‘You’ll know later who’s face was slapped. ’

Music room.

There were several employees working inside, and Liu Nianzhong called them all out.

When several employees with puzzled faces walked out of the room, Lin Mo took the erhu, then walked to the piano and sat down.

Under the gaze of everyone, he stretched out his index finger and played the piano.

Master Guo’s expression suddenly changed!
  Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Lin Mo played the piano without saying a word.

A beautiful and atmospheric piece of music came, and the spirits of several people suddenly became excited.

Master Guo looked disdainful at first.

"Nothing more than that."

After only ten seconds, his expression began to change.

Among the people, the one who reacted the most was Ye Nianzhong, whose eyes showed growing interest.

After a while, the instrument in Lin Mo's hand was replaced by the erhu, and the melody became more ethereal and vast.

Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

"It's amazing. This song makes people feel ethereal and lofty, as if they are in heaven."

Liang Yaxuan's delicate lips parted slightly, and her pretty eyes looked at him infatuatedly.

"Interesting, interesting!" Liu Nianzhong murmured.

Xu Zheng was shocked:
  "Lin Mo, is this what you call the erhu, which is just okay? It's no problem for you to judge a national master at your level."

Several employees who had just walked out of the room were attracted by the music, turned back to the door, and looked inside.

"Is this a new song written by Master Guo? It's so awesome."

"Yeah, this song is absolutely explosive as soon as it opens."

"No, look, it's not Master Guo, it's a young man playing."

"Lin Mo, that's Lin Mo! My idol!"

After about a minute, Lin Mo stopped playing and said:
  "Director Liu, what do you think? This is the rough intro, and the melody behind it is about the same."

"Is this just a prelude?"

Liang Yaxuan felt that his outlook on life had been refreshed again. Is the prelude already so good?
  Lin Mo looked serious, nodded and said:

"Yes, and when the music is actually written, the effect will be about four times that of what I played just now, because I can't play so many instruments at the same time by myself. I just let Director Liu hear the effect first."

"If I really do it, I will add more instruments to enhance the expressiveness of the song."

Everyone froze instantly!

Such an ethereal and beautiful song is just a prelude, and the final effect is five times better?
  I don’t even dare to brag like that!
  Regardless, everyone's curiosity is now piqued and everyone is eager to hear the final product.

"very good."

Liu Nianzhong looked excited, as if he had found a treasure, and said:

"Brother Lin Mo, if you compose the entire song, even if your song is not used in the final movie, I will give you a generous reward for your hard work!"

He had been moved by the prelude just now, and now his mind was focused on the melody.

"I'll call our lyricist over in a minute, and you two can touch it and make a finished product first."

Who knew, Lin Mo interrupted him and said:

"No need, I write songs. I always make the songs and lyrics myself."

what?
  Master Guo's expression looked like he had seen a ghost.

You know, he has been in this industry for so many years and has always specialized in arranging and scoring, which is why he has achieved such an achievement today.

As for the lyrics, they have another professional lyricist in charge. The lyrics for the previous theme song for this movie were also written by several lyricists.

"Teacher Lin Mo, do you mean that you completed the lyrics and music independently?" Liu Niazhong couldn't believe it and confirmed it again.

"Yes." Lin Mo nodded affirmatively.

Unlike Master Guo, Director Liu and others, Xu Zheng and Liang Yaxuan were not so surprised, because they all already knew Lin Mo's terrifying original ability.

"As expected of a talented man," Director Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Then how long will it take for you to produce the finished product?"

Lin Mo thought for a while and said: "This song will be a little complicated, and if you add the singing and recording, it will take one day."

Everyone present was petrified again!
  Everyone began to suspect that there was something wrong with their hearing, otherwise how could they hear such a bizarre answer.

Master Guo, on the other hand, completely lost his ability to manage facial expressions.

Less than half an hour after meeting, Lin Mo refreshed his outlook three times.

a little complicated?

So one day.? ? ?

You said that I was still a little doubtful even after a month.

Do you have any misunderstandings about songwriting, brother?

A few minutes later, there was a music studio in the film and television base.

This studio has only served one client recently, and that is the film crew of "The Legend of Monkey King".

Lin Mo looked at the man and two women following him and smiled bitterly.

Xu Zheng was the one who introduced him, so he naturally wanted to follow him, and he also wanted to listen to the song.

Liang Yaxuan said that he wanted to see how Lin Mo created and see if there was anything he could do to help.

And this Master Guo actually followed, probably feeling a little unconvinced.

"Brother Lin Mo, what do you need my sister to help you with? Just ask, you're welcome~~"

Liang Yaxuan's voice was sweet, and his sultry eyes looked directly at Lin Mo.

In the eyes of others, this seems a bit seductive.

From the moment he arrived here until now, Liang Yaxuan's enthusiasm has made Lin Mo a little unable to react.

Recommend yourself to write theme songs, defend yourself against Master Guo, and other behaviors.

Could it be that she has a crush on herself?
  Lin Mo glanced at Liang Yaxuan again. It had to be said that the otaku goddess in the eyes of many netizens was indeed stunningly beautiful, with exquisite facial features, a tall figure, big when it should be, and small when it should be, exuding the charm of a goddess.

Compared with Yang Mi and Reba, they are beauties with their own merits and different styles.

No, Lin Mo shook his head and got rid of this idea.

You must stand the test and not be fooled by beauty. The more passionate and proactive a woman is, the more careful she must be.

"Well, you can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't affect me."

"Hehe, are you nervous if I'm next to you?"

Liang Yaxuan smiled sweetly and said: "Brother Lin Mo, you are so handsome and cute!"

Good guy, this female pervert immediately made Lin Mo speechless, so he had to laugh and said:
  "Okay, time is very tight, I have to start working."

Liang Yaxuan didn't notice that just as she finished speaking, two sharp eyes shot at her at the same time.

Master Guo: Pretty girl, if you and Lao Liu hadn’t recommended this guy, why would I be so embarrassed to come to the stage today?

Lin Mo ignored the others and started working directly.

After he just read the script, the theme song he thought of for this movie was "Wukong"!
  Lin Mo liked this divine song that was a smash hit in his previous life and was very familiar with it. With the system's bonus, he almost didn't have to think about it and started playing it directly.

The three people who had their own thoughts next to them were so shocked that their mouths almost dropped when they saw the crisp action.

Is this creation? Just come without thinking?
  What instruments will be used throughout the song? When to use it? Which tune? How to match? Everything is in order.

Looking at Lin Mo's arrangement, they felt that it was more like copying and pasting than composing.

It was as if all the details of the entire song were already in Lin Mo's mind, and all he had to do was copy the song from his mind into reality.

However, having said that, if the song written by Lin Mo was placed in front of them and asked to copy it, they would not be able to do it.

For no other reason than the musical instruments used, some of them didn’t know how to use them, including the top domestic film soundtrack master Guo Yuncong.

The team he usually leads has several people. He basically doesn't know how to use several instruments, and the team members are responsible for operating them.

"The [-] yuan given by Lao Liu is not a loss. This guy can support an arranger team by himself. No, he may be better than my team!"

Master Guo didn't say anything, but he thought secretly in his heart.

Lin Mo's talent and ability have made him doubt life.
