Chapter 597 Theme Song

Of course, it is just the beginning of April, and there are still three months before the end of July, which is scheduled to be scheduled, so there is plenty of time. However, the competition is fierce now, and there is no need to worry about large-scale publicity, but some other pre-heated publicity methods are about to begin!

For example, for the theme song of a movie, Ning Sheng's plan is to use the theme of the movie for a month first, and then start releasing some movie trailers from May, and then mix it until June, and then start various posters, news and other hardware. It's publicized, and finally, it will be nice to take the leading actors to some shows before the release in July!

So, the first thing to do now is to make the theme song for "A Chinese Ghost Story". The song is ready-made, and Ning Cheng wrote it long after the filming of the movie, but it's hard to find a singer!
The elder brother who was the singer of the original version, that is, Young Master Rong, retired from the music scene earlier than Ning Sheng, but I want to find another singer with the voice of my elder brother, who can sing the vicissitudes and vicissitudes of life in the song. The sense of fantasy after the accumulation of history, so after thinking about it, Ning Cheng decided to visit the door in person.

So, after sending Xinxin to school that day, Ning Cheng took out his mobile phone and called Rong Shao!
"Hey, Xiao Sheng, you rarely take the initiative to call me, tell me, what's the matter?" Rong Shao was naturally no stranger to Ning Sheng's phone number, and asked directly with a smile.

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Young Master Rong, are you in the imperial capital now? Shall we meet and talk?"

The other side smiled and said, "It seems that it is not a trivial matter, well, then you come here, I am with my sister——"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Cheng tidied up and drove a car that he usually used for personal use. It looks like an ordinary car worth 40 to [-] yuan, but only after looking at the configuration inside can he know that it is a car worth a hundred yuan. More than [-] top-end cars!

However, one advantage of driving such a car is that it will not attract too much attention, especially since Ning Sheng has rarely appeared in front of the stage these years, so there are far fewer paparazzi journalists who pay attention to him. They don't even know who the owner of the car is!
Ning Cheng drove around half of the imperial capital, bought some pineapples and carambola that Sister Qingxia loves, and went to the door.The one who can make Young Master Rong call her sister is Lin Qingxia, a strange woman.The two brothers and sisters were called at almost the same time. They are usually better friends and often meet for dinner and chat!
When Ning Cheng entered the community and knocked on the door, the Filipino servant from Sister Qingxia's house opened the door. The other party asked Ning Cheng's identity, then took the fruit from Ning Cheng's hand and took Ning Cheng directly to the backyard. The sun is very bright today. Alright, by the swimming pool, Sister Qingxia, Young Master Rong, Liu Jialing, and Mr. Liang are drinking tea and playing mahjong leisurely!

Sister Qingxia, who was sitting facing this side, was the first to see Ning Cheng and greeted with a smile, "Xiao Sheng is here, you are welcome, come and sit." Then she saw the fruit in the hand of the Filipino maid next to her and said with a smile, "You still have a gift Sure enough, I am much more polite than some people," said Rong Shao, looking at Rong Shao next to him, and Rong Shao said with a smile, "Okay, next time I will bring you a big pineapple too!"

Sister Qingxia smiled and gave him a blank look, and then said to the Filipino maid, "Cut the pineapple for us."

The Filipino maid responded and went to deal with the fruit. Ning Cheng came over and pulled a chair to be next to Young Master Rong when she was pulled over by Sister Qingxia and said, "You are a genius who rarely comes here, hurry up and help me see." Look at what to do, I lost three times in a row."

Rong Shao smiled and said, "You have made a wrong calculation, Xiao Sheng doesn't know how to play these things."

Liu Jialing asked in surprise, "Ning Cheng, you don't know how to play mahjong? Is it true?"

Even Mr. Liang, who has always been as stable as Mount Tai, looked at him differently. After all, mahjong, a leisure sport suitable for all ages, is actually quite popular in the entertainment industry, especially artists over the age of [-], who don’t like to go out and run around. After playing, I like to find a few good friends to play a few mahjong together, and some even drag the director to play mahjong when they are idle in the crew. It is said that it can also help improve the relationship between colleagues!
But, Ning Cheng really doesn't know how to do this, so he shook his head and said, "I really don't know how to do this. I don't know how to poker, mahjong and other similar things, and I don't have much interest!"

Liu Jialing rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, "You don't like to play because you lose all the time, don't you?"

Ning Cheng smiled wryly and said, "There may be some reasons for this. I was dragged to learn poker before, and then I won once when I was out of school. I kept losing at other times and never won. After that, I never played poker again. It's a game!"

"Hahaha——" the four of them laughed immediately, and it was rare for Mr. Liang to take the initiative to say, "Actually, I don't like these games either, but I was dragged here, so I can't play them, so habits are terrible. You Look, I'm completely numb now, no matter how much I lose, I don't feel anything!"

Sister Qingxia smiled and said, "Of course you are not afraid of losing. We were all won by Jia Ling, and we returned to the family in the end!"

Young Master Rong nodded again and again, "Yeah, that's right, we've been locked up by a couple today, haha——"

Nowadays, the relationship between Mr. Liang and Liu Jialing has long been known in the circle. Although the wedding banquet has not yet been officially held, many people say that the two have already obtained the certificate. The days are not far away!
After a while, the Filipino maid brought over the chopped pineapples, and they ate, played, and chatted, and after another hour, Young Master Rong said, "Let's stop here today, Xiao Sheng came here specially to find me, there must be something wrong, Let's go out and talk alone."

Sister Qingxia said, "You don't need to go out, just chat here, the three of us go to a spa, and then have dinner together at night."

Liu Jialing and Mr. Liang both agreed, and Ning Sheng said, "I'm going to pick Xinxin up from school in the afternoon."

Young Master Rong said, "It's simple. When the time comes, you pick up the child and come here directly. We all gave gifts when the moon was full, so we should let the child get acquainted with our uncles and aunts."

The others also agreed with a smile, so Ning Cheng had no choice but to say, "Okay then." Seeing that the other three were about to get up, Ning Cheng said again, "Actually, I was just looking for someone to help me persuade Young Master Rong about this matter. Young Master Rong’s good friend, let’s listen together.”

The three looked at Young Master Rong, and Young Master Rong smiled and nodded, "Since you don't mind, Xiao Sheng, let's listen together and see what you want to do, and find someone to persuade me together."

Ning Cheng didn't speak first, but took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on a music file, and then the recorded "A Chinese Ghost Story" accompaniment sounded, the flute plus the synthesizer's dreamy, smoky sound effects, After a few minutes of accompaniment, the four of them couldn't help nodding, and Young Master Rong even praised, "Good song, what's the matter? Are you making some music for the movie, or is there some other use?"

Ning Cheng picked up his phone, opened another text and handed it to Young Master Rong, "This is the theme song I wrote for the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" that I filmed last year. The lyrics and music are all ready, only one singer is missing!" Looking at Young Master Rong.

The other three immediately understood everything. Mr. Liang still smiled and said nothing, while Liu Jialing and Lin Qingxia waited for Rong Shao. It's really not that simple to come back from time to time.

Major General Rong carefully read the lyrics in Ning Cheng's phone, then returned them to Ning Cheng, looked at Ning Cheng who had been staring at him, and smiled, "I know that you have nothing to do with your son, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall, every time you look for me, there must be something wrong .”

Ning Cheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "Isn't it because I don't dare to disturb you? I also greet you on time during New Years and holidays."

Everyone else laughed, and now there are more people who say hello and greetings during the New Year and holidays, but most of them are ordinary friends who don’t have any deep acquaintances, and people like Ning Cheng who can come to the door directly, sit down and chat and eat fruit together But it belongs to the category of good friends, and which good friend will only send a message or make a phone call during the Chinese New Year.

If it was replaced by other people, old friends like Lin Qingxia and Liu Jialing would have persuaded Young Master Rong to block this friend, but Ning Cheng is known by almost everyone in the whole country. The great talent!

Not to mention Rong Shao, senior friends like Sister Qingxia, even a good friend like Ding Xuan who grew up together, it is difficult to receive calls from Ning Cheng several times a year. A person who will call you to chat, but when you need help, his almost invisible friend will instantly show his presence, letting you know that two words, a friend, are worth a lot!

So this time, everyone just looked at Ning Sheng and thought he was quite interesting.Rong Shao also smiled and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, but I think you can find other singers to sing, you don't have to ask me to come, besides, I haven't sung for almost ten years, now I'm singing, aren't you afraid that I'll blow it up for you, blowing up your great talent?"

Ning Cheng smiled wryly and said, "I also tried to find other singers, but their voices and singing skills really couldn't achieve the effect I wanted. Although "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a ghost movie, the content is not limited to ghost movies and thrillers. In the category, so I need a voice with connotation and content to sing this theme song! And you have read the lyrics and music, it is definitely an ancient style, and I am not asking you to make a full comeback, just ask you to sing a song Well, why don't you try it?"

As he said that, Ning Cheng looked at the three sisters Qingxia next to him, motioned for the three of them to help, and persuaded Young Master Rong together. Sister Qingxia was the first to speak with a smile, "Young Master Rong, in fact, you don't have to worry too much. It’s a full-scale comeback in the music scene. There may be many people who will make trouble and hype, but it’s just to help friends and sing a theme song. Xin, sing if you want to sing, if you really don't want to sing, then don't sing, let Xiaosheng find other singers earlier, anyway, a theme song doesn't have that much influence on the movie!"

Ning Cheng looked at Sister Qingxia with his mouth slightly open, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Are you really trying to persuade me?"

At this time, Liu Jialing on the other side also said, "Actually, there are many actors in domestic film and television dramas who sing theme songs and interludes, and now that the Internet is so developed, anyone can show their voices. This is different from the past. There is no need to stick to the old ones." The old rules, besides, the singers who used to compete for awards with you have either changed careers and become bosses, or worked behind the scenes, and some have simply disappeared and lived their own lives. Even if you come back, it will not be the same as before because When other singers compete, they are attacked by other fans. Think about those sad fans you stood out in the music scene back then. Now that you come back, even if it’s just to sing a song, it must be very exciting and happy for those people Come on!"

Ning Cheng silently gave Sister Jia Ling a thumbs up in his heart, that's how he seemed to persuade her.

In the end was Mr. Liang. He glanced at Ning Cheng and smiled, and then said to the meditating Young Master Rong, "With your current status, you can do whatever you want. Half your life has passed, and you can do things according to your own will!"

Ning Cheng looked at Rong Shao who was thinking about it, but as time passed, Ning Cheng was already thinking about where to find a substitute to sing this song. At this time, Rong Shao suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Ning Cheng Sheng said, "Okay, I'm tired of filming all these years, so let's sing again. If the market responds well in the end, maybe it will really bring me back to the music scene."

Ning Cheng repeatedly assured, "With my lyrics and music, Young Master Rong, if you perform, the song will definitely become popular. Young Master Rong, you can get your manager to start preparing for a full-scale comeback in the music scene!"

Rong Shao smiled and said, "Okay, that's it, but the recording is not so fast. I haven't sung a song for ten years, so before entering the recording studio, I have to recover my voice and get familiar with the five tones. What, are you in a hurry? If not, you'd better give me more time to prepare!"

It's already at this time, and Ning Cheng naturally couldn't force Rong Shao to sing in order to hurry, or find someone else, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, there is enough time, the movie will be released at the end of July, as long as it is at the beginning of July It’s okay to record it before.”

"Okay, let's do this, it's still early, let's go to the spa, and then Xiaosheng will pick up Xinxin, and we will have dinner together in the evening!"

"Okay, let's go, it's time for us to take care of ourselves at this age!"

"Although Xiaosheng is young, it's better to start maintenance earlier, you know, in fact—"

The group went directly to a private club for a spa, and then at night Ning Sheng picked up Xinxin, had dinner together, talked for a while, and after nine o'clock in the evening, Ning Sheng took Xinxin home first!

And although the theme song of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been settled, the original plan to release the theme song first is definitely not going to work. After thinking about it, Ning Cheng had to edit out a first version of the trailer to warm up the movie. up!
Anyway, in another time and space, he has already seen a lot of things that the trailers started to promote a few months in advance. At worst, he edited a few more versions, adding one or two new scenes to each version, just to keep it fresh up!The final publicity still depends on the ten or twenty days before the release, and the box office of the movie, the final key is the quality of the movie!
