The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 541 Changing Theme Song

The more than 30 minutes of "Shanghai Beach" was played quickly, and when the theme song "Xiongxiong Road" sounded again, Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning again.So far so good for this TV show, except for the theme song.

"The Road to Heroes" may be considered qualified in other TV dramas where heroes fight for hegemony, but "Shanghai Bund" is actually not about the fight for hegemony, but the love affair between Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng.So using a song like "Xiongxiong Road" is clearly suspected of misleading the audience.

"Ah Wu, what do you think of this TV series?" Zhao Yazhi sighed, turned her head and asked Xu Guanwu with a smile.

"For now, the overall situation is pretty good." Xu Guanwu nodded, "It's just that the TV series has just started to air, and we'll have to read the details to find out."

"I think this drama is already pretty good, no matter the setting, props, characters, lines... can be regarded as TVB's hard work in the past two years, and it seems to be much better than last year's "Choice"." Zhao Yazhi smiled.

"I don't know what TV series Jiayi and Li's will launch to compete with our "Shanghai Beach"?" Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Since Li's change of master, there has been no improvement."

"That's no wonder, Mr. Huang Xizhao was also kicked out, the producer McDonald also resigned, and a whole bunch of staff in front of and behind the scenes followed. Now Li's is busy adjusting the personnel layout, and so on. After the work is done, at least it will take several months." Zhao Yazhi waved her hand and said, "There will be two months of turmoil, and the audience accumulated before will also run away. Besides, Li's had no audience at first, and now there is such a commotion There will be no more."

"The analysis is indeed reasonable. In fact, if Li's was not so turbulent, she could have fought with Jiayi. But it's a pity that she lost her position, and now she has fallen from No.2 to No.3. It's really a pity." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.

"Didn't Jiayi apply to revoke the restrictions on broadcasting recently and add an English broadcasting channel? I don't know how the British Hong Kong government will respond." Zhao Yazhi continued, "If they no longer have broadcasting restrictions and add broadcasting channels, will it be possible? Will it have a big impact on our ratings?"

"I don't know about this, but when the soldiers come to block, who will come to the land. It is not so easy for Jiayi to turn around." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Just canceling the broadcast restriction is enough to embarrass the government. Now To even apply for an English broadcasting channel, the British Hong Kong government may not fully agree to his application."

"So what if it's just a one-sided agreement? Sir Shao has been in the film industry for decades, so he shouldn't be a fuel-efficient lamp." Zhao Yazhi said worriedly.

"How can there be fuel-efficient lights these days, but one of Sir Shao's biggest shortcomings in business is that he likes to rest on his laurels. It is a good thing to rest on his laurels when he is successful, but if he wants to expand his territory, he always lacks a bit of courage." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "It's like knowing that Shaw's history is hard to return. If you have the courage, you should carry out drastic reforms, eliminate redundant staff, recruit talents, increase remuneration, and introduce new management systems."

"I guess he must know these things, but there will be many difficulties in implementing them." Zhao Yazhi waved her hand and said, "It's like he also knows that Shaw's employees are generally dissatisfied with Ms. Fang Yihua, but he doesn't have the heart to put her It's the same as changing it. After all, Ms. Fang Yihua is his pillow and the only person he can trust now."

"That's why I said his courage is not strong enough." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "If it were me, I would..."

"What about you?!" Zhao Yazhi asked Xu Guanwu with squinted eyes.

Xu Guanwu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

"Hmph! You're talking about someone else, but you're not the same as him. It's really a crow that fell on a pig, so don't blame anyone." Zhao Yazhi glared at Xu Guanwu and said.

"It's different, it's different, at least I didn't let Qingxia take charge of the company's affairs." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Don't keep talking about it, okay? Didn't you say you still want to accept it?" Qingxia's?"

"Huh!" Zhao Yazhi snorted when Xu Guanwu said that, "I'm going to put the baby to sleep, you can sleep on the sofa by yourself tonight."

"I don't want it. If you don't let me enter the bedroom, then I'll go back to Qingxia in the middle of the mountain." Xu Guanwu stood up threateningly.

"Come back to me." Before taking two steps, Zhao Yazhi unleashed a pair of ear-grabbing dragon claws, immediately grabbed Xu Guanwu's ears, and then carried them into the bedroom, "Don't try to run around tonight, I'm afraid Let you sleep on the bed with mercy, but you are not allowed to snore, sleepwalk, disturb the baby, move around, roll around, or have bad thoughts..."

"Okay, okay, this is not allowed and that is not allowed, you just find someone to trap my hands and feet, and then put a rag in my mouth." Xu Guanwu surrendered with his hands up.

"Damn it, it's too little." Zhao Yazhi poked him on the forehead with a smile.

……

Early the next morning, after Xu Guanwu returned to the company, he immediately called Zhao Zhenqiang over.

Zhao Zhenqiang didn't know what the big boss was looking for him for, so he hurried over in fear.

"Could it be because there was a problem with the premiere of "Shanghai Bund" yesterday?" Zhao Zhenqiang guessed in his heart as he arrived by car.

"Shanghai Bund" is the crystallization of his meticulous production, using TVB's first-line niche student Zhou Runfa, first-line actress Zhao Yazhi as the leading role, and boldly using newcomers Ren Daling and Liu Dan as the main supporting roles. The script is in charge of Liang Yongmei, Liang Yonghua, Liu Shiyu, etc. Produced, the theme song is also the work of the famous composer Mr. Lu Guozhan.

He thought that the first episode aired yesterday, regardless of the plot, characters, costumes, sets, even the theme song, dialogue, performance, etc., was flawless.Such an elaborate TV series should have received a call from the boss to congratulate him after it was broadcast, but now he asked himself to go to the office instead.If it's a compliment, just say it over the phone, there's no need to call someone to the company.It seems that it is not a compliment, but a criticism.

"Could it be that something went wrong?" Zhao Zhenqiang couldn't help being suspicious, but he really couldn't think of where he made a mistake. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help becoming more puzzled.

He hurried to Xu Guanwu's office, "Mr. Xu, I'm here." After Zhao Zhenqiang entered Xu Guanwu's office, he was still a little uneasy.

"Well, sit, sit." Xu Guanwu looked up at him, waved his hand to let him sit down first, but continued to scribble on the paper.

Zhao Zhenqiang found a seat and sat down fearfully, staring straight at Xu Guanwu, seeing that he was scribbling there, scribbling and altering from time to time, not knowing what he was writing. "Could it be that you are writing me a resignation letter, or amending my contract?" Zhao Zhenqiang couldn't help but wonder.

At this moment, Xu Guanwu stood up and walked over with a blank sheet of paper. "Hey, why are you sweating profusely? Did I urge you to come here so quickly that you didn't even have time to get a taxi, so you came here by yourself?" Xu Guanwu joked with a smile.

Zhao Zhenqiang smiled wryly, he was so uneasy, how could he be joking, "Mr. Xu, what is it that makes you so anxious?"

"Oh, that's right. I watched the premiere of the first episode of "Shanghai Beach" yesterday." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, Zhao Zhenqiang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and Xu Guanwu continued, "I think Overall, this first episode was pretty good."

Zhao Zhenqiang breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't feel paralyzed in his heart, because he knew that when people like Xu Guanwu spoke, they focused on the "but" at the end, and what they said earlier was just a useless foreshadowing. If you only pay attention to the previous words and ignore the latter words, then you have misunderstood the spirit.

Sure enough, Xu Guanwu changed the subject, "But there are still some flaws."

"Yes, please show me, Mr. Xu." Zhao Zhenqiang asked quickly.

"That's right, I think there is something wrong with the theme song chosen for this TV series." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "The theme song of this TV series is the work of Mr. Lu Guozhan, right?"

Zhao Zhenqiang nodded, "That's right, I specially asked Mr. Lu Guozhan to help write it. He has also written many TV theme songs before, and he is known as Hero Lu."

"I know, but in Mr. Lu Guozhan's works, there are more themes of national hatred and family hatred." Xu Guanwu nodded, "But "Shanghai Bund" is written about the love of children and the ups and downs of life, which is not what Mr. Lu Guozhan is good at. The themes are very different. The drama "Shanghai Bund" does not focus on heroes competing for hegemony. Although Xu Wenqiang is a gang member on the surface, he also has national righteousness in his heart, and he cannot be simply treated as a gang figure. The hard work in Shanghai should not be regarded as a pursuit of fame and fortune, to get ahead. Do you understand this?"

"Ah, I understand when Mr. Xu said that." Zhao Zhenqiang suddenly realized, "This theme song is indeed wrong."

"Well, it's best if you understand it." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "This is the theme song I wrote for "Shanghai Bund". Take it and see if it suits you."

Xu Guanwu said as he handed over a piece of white paper full of words to Zhao Zhenqiang.

Zhao Zhenqiang took it in doubt, looked down, and saw a large section of lyrics written on the white paper, "Walking, wandering, the river will never stop for thousands of miles..."

That's right, what Xu Guanwu wrote on the white paper for Zhao Zhenqiang was the classic theme song of the TV series "Shanghai Bund" in his previous life.It can be said that this song became popular all over the country back then, making singer Ye Liyi a famous singer. This song has been sung from the 80s to the new century, and it is still a must-have for her concerts.She herself once said that people may not know who Ye Liyi is, but when they hear "Wandering, Wandering...", they always hum along loudly.

This song was originally a work jointly created by Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, but it was too late for the two of them to create it first, because the theme song will be changed tonight. From song writing to recording to re-editing, it only takes half a day. It's just time.So Xu Guanwu had no choice but to give full play to Wen Chaogong's true qualities, and wrote this song one step ahead.

After Zhao Zhenqiang finished reading it, he couldn't help looking at Xu Guanwu in surprise. Although he didn't know musical notation very well, he knew it was a good song just by looking at the lyrics. "Mr. Xu, you wrote this song yourself?! It's really a rare and good song." He couldn't help but praise.

What he said was not entirely flattering, but most of it came from his own heart.

"Thank you, it's fine if you think it's suitable." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Okay, I'm looking for you today, that's all. Go back and find someone to re-arrange and record the song. Just ask Mr. Gu Jiahui."

"Yes, I'll go back and do it right away." Zhao Zhenqiang nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, if there is nothing else, then I will take my leave first."

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Okay, you go first. Remember that when filming "Shanghai Beach", you can come to me for anything, and you can ask people for money. I want to make this TV series a perfect one." work."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Xu for your support." Zhao Zhenqiang couldn't help being elated after hearing Xu Guanwu's words.
