Chapter 286 Celebration Party (Two in One)

Time passed quickly, and donations from all walks of life were still being sent to the disaster area one after another, and the entertainment industry in China was gradually returning to its former bustle, but this summer, due to the impact of the flood, the box office of the summer season has directly shrunk a lot However, many film and television companies are bleeding from the heart.

However, fortunately, the domestic box office has been strong these years. Even if it shrinks, most of the films will not lose money, and a few of them will make a lot of money. Of course, the profits must not be compared with the same period last year. This summer, many people have no intentions at all. I went to the movies, so the loss of this piece can only be made up slowly from the sales of DVDs later.

At the Billboard Awards in June in the United States, both Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan were absent, which made Universal very dissatisfied, but Super Boy won 100 awards in one fell swoop with the "Super Boy Ⅰ" arranged by Ning Sheng , including, Billboard Idol Awards, Best Social Artist, Hot 200 Song, Billboard Top [-] Album, Best Group, Best Selling Song Artist, Best Radio Song Artist, Best Streaming Song Artist, Most Best Touring Artist, Best Selling Song, Best Radio Song, Best Streaming Song (Audio), Best Streaming Song (Video).

This is a new award-winning record created by the new group Super Boys in less than three years since Adele set a record with twelve awards on the Billboard!
Coupled with the previous awards at the Grammys and American Music Awards, Superboy's performance last year can be said to be very amazing. Of course, it would be even better if there was no second Squib album.

It's a pity that nothing happens, so the talents of Universal Company want the new album arranged by Ning Sheng even more. For this reason, they had to suspend Super Boy's activities for a year when they were the most popular. In [-], without the participation of Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan, the other three could only do their own activities. Anyway, last year's album earned a lot, enough for them to do what they wanted to do.

At the beginning of September, the reconstruction work in the disaster area was carried out in an orderly manner. Ning Sheng also started to go to work. He was in the studio for the post-production of "People on the Journey". The release date of the blockbuster, "Surprise Along the Way" is scheduled to be released on December [-]st, during the first period of the Lunar New Year holiday.

But it's still early, so the publicity work for "Surprise All the Way" hasn't started yet, just occasionally release some news on the Internet to maintain exposure, the official publicity work, and the release of the trailer, at least at the end of October, or It won't appear until November.

Ning Sheng originally wanted to finish all the post-production in one go, but halfway through, he was pulled out by Mr. Zheng.

"Charity dinner? Do I have to go to this kind of thing?" Ning Sheng asked in surprise.

Mr. Zheng laughed and said, "If it's just about the charity dinner, I wouldn't dare to force you to come here. Take a look at this."

Ning Cheng took the document that Mr. Zheng handed over in bewilderment, opened it, and, wow, it turned out to be an invitation letter for a CCTV party!

Ning Sheng looked up at Mr. Zheng, who smiled and said, "This is the document I received this morning. There are not many opportunities to participate in the CCTV gala. Although this celebration gala is held for the heroes fighting the flood, nine of them Cheng is a fighter against the flood. This time, he sent an invitation letter to our company. It said that besides Yang Haihai, I hope there will be a few more good songs that show the spirit of the soldiers. They can specifically name you. It seems that you are a kid His fame has really entered the eyes of those big shots."

Ning Cheng said speechlessly, "So, you asked me to come here just to let me write a few more military songs, right?" Mr. Zheng laughed and said, "Why? You still don't want to?"

Mr. Zheng said earnestly, "Xiao Sheng, don't you want to be a director? Establishing a good relationship now will be very beneficial to your future filming. In terms of subject matter and some special technical support and prop support, as long as you make people satisfied, I think you are a patriotic and good young man with positive energy, and you will be able to speak up when you need it in the future."

Ning Cheng naturally thought of this too, not to mention, how could he not be willing to write songs for those lovely and respectable fighters.

It's just that the post-production of the movie is stuck in the middle, which really makes him a little upset.

"It's okay to write songs, but I'm afraid we'll have to find a singer again." Ning Sheng put aside the film matter for now. He actually had the idea of ​​writing those classic military songs from his previous life, but he just didn't have the right time. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to bring out all the military masterpieces from his previous life. Of course, with more songs, the requirements for singers are naturally different. Yang Hai alone is really not enough.

Mr. Zheng waved his hand and said, "Just write your song, and I will find you any kind of singer you need. With this invitation letter, you can choose any singer from all over the country, and there will be no rejection." people!"

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, then you can help me find some film and television materials showing the heroic appearance of the soldiers of the Empire. I have to watch them before I can write good songs." Naturally, Ning Cheng couldn't take a piece of paper and a pen , wrote a bunch of classic military songs casually, so, with these video materials, he has an excuse to say that he got inspiration from these materials.

Mr. Zheng had already expected this, "When I received the invitation letter, I already contacted the military personnel who sent the invitation letter. They said that internal information cannot be leaked casually. If you need to read it, you can Go over there and watch it in someone's office!"

Ning Cheng was pleasantly surprised when he heard that, "So I can enter the military zone?"

Mr. Zheng laughed and said, "I don't know about that. You have to ask others, how they arrange it, and what should you do, but the party will be held on October [-]st, the National Day, and time is running out. You have to hurry up and know ?"

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, I see, you call the people over there, I'll be there today."

Mr. Zheng has long been used to Ning Cheng's quick temper, so he immediately called and told Ning Cheng, "I will send a car to pick you up in half an hour. Then go directly to a military camp in the capital to read the information, you boy." You're lucky, but don't run around when you go in, if you get into trouble inside, no one will be able to save you!"

Ning Cheng rolled his eyes, and walked out directly, "Find me a tenor to stand by first!"

It was the first time for Ning Cheng to be a military vehicle, and the driver who came to pick him up was obviously a standard soldier, who asked and answered questions without talking nonsense.

After inspection, he entered the barracks, and then a heroic female soldier led him to an office, then opened a folder with information in the computer for him, and said, "These are all I picked out for you. There are about a hundred of them, so take your time, there is hot water on the table, if you need anything else, please call me anytime.”

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "No problem, I'll trouble you!"

The female soldier smiled, turned and left, Ning Cheng clicked on the video and watched, these things are usually not seen.

Chang Feifei returned to her office, turned on the computer, and the image was Ning Sheng in the next room.

She had no objection to asking Ning Cheng to write songs for the soldiers, but in order to write songs, they brought people into the barracks and showed him internal materials, which was a bit puzzling.

Although the song "For Whom" written by Ning Cheng was very successful, and all the soldiers, including Chang Feifei, liked it very much, but after all, it was just a song. For Chang Feifei from the aristocratic family, it was really hard to accept.

In her opinion, what soldiers need is training, education, and honor, not so-called music.

Although she didn't understand the decision made by her superiors, as a soldier, obeying orders is the first duty, so in addition to serving the songwriter Ning Sheng, she also had to closely monitor her to prevent the other party from doing anything out of the ordinary.

Of course, in fact, there is no confidential document in that room, including the computer is disconnected from the Internet, only that folder, but Chang Feifei is not careless, especially since the head who signed the order is her father, he can't let Ning Sheng, the so-called musical genius, made any mistakes, which further affected his father's events.

The internal information of these troops is really extraordinary. Many of them were filmed by the military reporters at the time, and some of the army’s own video records include some materials about the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and some materials about the Vietnam War, including some battlefield records that taught India a lesson. , and some trivial information about the capture of RB Island during World War II.

But for Ning Cheng to see, naturally there won't be any special shots, more of them are battlefield explosion shots, and some post-war sacrificed martyrs' faces, and occasionally there are scenes of soldiers joking and so on.

Ning Cheng was so engrossed that he forgot about writing the song. It wasn't until Chang Feifei brought him lunch that he felt that more than three hours had passed, and it was already past twelve o'clock at noon.

"How is it? Musician, after watching it all morning, did you get any inspiration?" Chang Feifei looked at Ning Cheng who was eating food and asked. Naturally, she hoped that Ning Cheng would finish up and leave quickly, but through surveillance, she found that, Ning Cheng read it all morning, but didn't even take a pen.

"I'm not a musician, I just know how to write a few songs. These materials are very real, which shocked me and inspired me a lot. I'll try to write a few songs after dinner." Ning Sheng said casually.

Chang Feifei nodded and said, "That's good, but there are a lot of materials. I don't think you can finish them before dinner. You can't live in the barracks at night, so if you haven't finished them, you need to come back tomorrow."

Ning Cheng shook his head and said, "No, I will definitely finish before dinner." Although he is very interested in the military camp, he is not interested in sitting in the room and watching videos, especially after these videos have been screened, the content is actually different. It's not big, it's just that the time and place are different from the opponents in Huaxia's war. Ning Cheng already has a clear understanding of the imperial army after watching it all morning.

This is a powerful combat force with excellent equipment, advanced technology, full of pride, full of confidence, and few opponents!
In China's 5000-year history and civilization, there has never been a shortage of iron and blood invincible steel masters. From ancient times to the present, the beginning of every prosperous age in China is the invincible demeanor at that time. , even in the period known as the weak Song Dynasty, there is also a peerless demeanor of "shaking the mountains is easy to shake the Yue family's army"!

The materials in the video are all old materials, and some are just fragmentary pictures and chaotic shots put together, but the pictures and shots one by one, let Ning Cheng watch with concentration and excitement.

As a Chinese person, Ning Sheng was so excited and proud, so after lunch, he wrote three works in a row, "Blood-Stained Wind", "My Motherland", and "Today Is Your Birthday".

After writing these three songs, Ning Cheng looked through the video materials again. Chang Feifei saw that Ning Cheng had written a few songs, and wanted to see how they were written, but felt that she would go and watch them, as if she was a little too anxious, so she thought I'll watch it when I bring him dinner tonight.

In the afternoon, Ning Cheng roughly read the rest of the materials, then thought about it and wrote two more songs, one is "We Serve as Soldiers" and the other is "Speak from the Heart".

Then he looked at the time. It was still half an hour before six o'clock, and Ning Cheng didn't have any intention of having dinner. He had to take these songs back and find the right person to sing them. In addition, there would definitely be backup dancers and rehearsals for the later party. Not loose.

Over there, Chang Feifei saw that Ning Cheng packed up his things and got up and went out. She hurried out immediately, just in time to see Ning Cheng open the door and come out, "We'll finish eating in a while, let's go after eating."

Ning Sheng said, "No, I still have to go back to choose a singer. The time is very tight, please find someone to take me out."

Chang Feifei glanced at the folder in Ning Cheng's hand, then rolled her eyes and said, "Your lyrics and music are finished, give them to me first, I'll let the chief responsible for assisting the party take a look, see if it's suitable."

"Ah?" Ning Cheng was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, the request was reasonable, so he said, "I want to take this back for use, how about this, you can print it with a copier."

Chang Feifei nodded in satisfaction, smiled for the first time, and said happily, "Then wait a moment, I will return it to you in a while!"

Chang Feifei went to copy the lyrics and music, but Ning Cheng didn't go back to the room, but stood in front of the corridor window, looked outside, and listened to the slogans in the distance, feeling an unusual sense of security in his heart.

In less than 5 minutes, Chang Feifei finished copying, and then asked Ning Sheng to take his original lyrics and send him out in a car, while Chang Feifei took the copied lyrics to find her father. Look, what good things this musical genius can write in a day's work.Although she felt that the lyrics were really good, but whether a song is good or bad, the tune is the key point. Otherwise, there are so many people who write songs for soldiers, why is "For Whom" the only one that became popular!

It's dark and late in summer, but the weather at six o'clock is much cooler. Some people walk casually on the street, and some rush home from get off work. It's really a lively scene!
