The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 408 Original Soundtrack

Well, "Encountering the Wanderer Again" does have its own original music, but unfortunately it didn't have much popularity. At that time, music creation had been messed up by IT capital, so someone didn't remember it and couldn't copy it even if they wanted to.

"To be honest, sister, I do have a little talent in music, but it's just a little talent." Xu Jiuyang sighed. "I can manage to write casually when I have inspiration, but it's a bit difficult when I have a set topic."

"It's okay, it doesn't need to be closely related to the plot. As long as the song is good, it doesn't matter if it's ambiguous or not," said Sister Xiaoli.

Finally, she took his arm and said coquettishly, "Little brother, just please do what your sister wants."

Xu Jiuyang immediately shuddered. No, no, he couldn't fall for the charm spell like this!

He immediately looked into Xiaoli's eyes: "Um, sister..."

"Little brother!" she called again, her eyes also watery, showing a mixture of joy and anger, and a heart full of tenderness.

The person had to back down: "Then... I can only try, I can only try..."

"Well, even if... even if my little brother doesn't make it in the end, it doesn't matter... but you have to tell your sister in advance..." Sister Xiaoli said, burying her face in his chest, looking as if she was afraid he would refuse.

Xu Jiuyang sighed with a wry smile, and then saw Yangyang, clutching his Lego set, staring wide-eyed at his parents from a short distance away.

Then, the little one smacked down the building blocks, raised his fingers, and started scratching his chubby cheeks: "Mommy's shy, Daddy's shy!"

Xu Jiuyang rolled his eyes, pulled Xiaoli, whose face was flushed, behind him, and walked toward the little guy with his fists clenched.

It took Yangyang two or three seconds to react. He immediately tried to run away, but his legs were too short. He was picked up by his father after only a few steps and then slapped hard on the bottom.

Of course, while it was said to be "sharp," it was actually quite forceful. So afterwards, the little guy said he knew he was wrong, but his eyes kept darting around, giving off an expression that said, "I didn't do anything wrong."

However, after this interruption, Xu Jiuyang recovered and brought the topic back to Xiaoli, and then made his request: "I can give it a try, but there is one condition: Qianqian must sing the theme song."

She then lifted her daughter up in her arms: "Yangyang, do you want to hear your sister sing?"

Although he didn't understand what his father was saying, having just received a loving slap, the little guy still nodded vigorously in agreement: "Yes!"

Her voice was sweet and childlike, yet loud and clear, making Xiaoli's older sister chuckle.

After teasing the little guy for a while, she said to him, "I know what you mean, little brother. Since Xixi has been able to improve her acting skills to a decent level, she should try harder to improve her singing skills as well. Besides... the soundtrack for the TV series also needs the male and female leads to sing."

“Yes, having Xixi sing is not only a gimmick and very beneficial for the promotion of the TV series, but it can also further satisfy her desire to become a star,” Xu Jiuyang nodded and said.

“Then…” Sister Xiaoli drawled out her words.

“Sing, sing, sing…” Xu Jiuyang replied irritably, “I’ll sing too…”

If all else fails, just use "Xiaoyao Tan" to get by. Didn't I already say that it doesn't need to be closely related to the plot, as long as the song sounds good?

As for the theme song, he already has an idea. He originally planned to make "Swordsman's Journey" a movie, but the third part was released this year. It seems that Softstar Entertainment is holding its breath and wants to prove itself.

However, this song cannot be used, but the theme song of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Prequel - Asking for Directions, or rather, Asking for Love - "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Asking for Love" can still be copied.

This song isn't difficult. Although it's the theme song for the "Asking for Directions... Asking for Love" chapter, it would still work fine in the first part of the story.

As Sister Xiaoli said, since Liu Qianqian can improve her acting skills, she should also be able to improve her singing voice.

"Sister, I only write songs, I don't handle production, and I don't know how to produce them either," he said earnestly. "Don't worry, we won't let you produce them. Six Degrees Music has some great producers," Sister Xiaoli said with a smile.

"Oh?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow upon hearing the words "Six Degrees Music".

“They have a complete system now, from production to distribution, which is very good. My expectation for the soundtrack is just to break even,” Xiaoli explained.

Xu Jiuyang opened his mouth and then closed it again, repeating the same point: when those who hold capital no longer care about the profits in the entertainment industry, any attempt to obstruct them is futile.

No good equipment? Just throw money at it! No distribution channels? Just throw money at it! No outstanding producers? Just throw money at it!

This is the reason for the rapid rise of Li Yunxin's Six Degrees Music—of course, it is also related to the rapid development of the mainland market at present, where the amount of money invested is far less than it will be in the future.

In addition, Fan Bingbing merging her own music company into the deal was also one of the reasons.
Although her music company is still a shell company in a sense, it has two very significant assets, one of which is naturally Little Swallow.

It's worth noting that she controls all the music copyrights. With the enhanced popularity of "Little Swallow," any compilation album she releases can easily sell millions of copies.

Then there's the name of James Wong. Everyone in the industry says that Fan Xiaoyanzi is righteous, spending a lot of money to treat her teacher.

That's right. Old Huang always felt that it was a bit inappropriate for her to take care of him like this, so he reluctantly accepted her as his disciple. It seems that she really did teach him a lot of music theory knowledge. Before, she even showed him the songs she wrote.

Hmm... how should I put it, it seems alright.

This isn't meant to be sarcastic. Fan Bingbing used to play the flute and piano, so she has some background experience. Although she writes catchy pop songs with simple lyrics and pleasant melodies, if she continues to hone her skills, she might become a near-top-tier music producer.

However, Xu Jiuyang didn't think she should do this, because she had too many other things to do and couldn't possibly focus too much on music.

After finalizing the matter and playing with his daughter for a while, Xu Jiuyang finally left after having dinner at his sister's house.

Another half hour passed, and it was almost completely dark outside before Liu Qianqian leisurely returned home.

"Oh dear, Papa's already gone." After looking around in the living room, she blurted out this.

Liu Xiaoli's face darkened: "How can you talk like that?"

“I didn’t say much,” Liu Qianqian stuck out her tongue. “I went out because I was worried about interfering with my mom’s date. Now that I’m back, I just had a few words of reflection.”

Liu Xiaoli glared at her, looking like she wanted to lash out but couldn't.

Liu Qianqian obviously realized this too, and immediately said with a smile, "Okay, Mom, I'm not going out to play. I have something to discuss with Mimi, and it's not for tutoring."

She didn't say "papa" again.

Liu Xiaoli was still very unhappy, then raised an eyebrow as if she had thought of something: "In that case, from now on, all my property will be left to Yangyang. I don't think Qianqian needs it."

Liu Qianqian was stunned for several seconds before she reacted, then her eyes widened: "Mom, how could you do this!"

“Why can’t we do this? Aren’t you making money right now?” Liu Xiaoli said leisurely.

"Making money is one thing, but this... is another!" Liu Qianqian said angrily. "This is not fair!"

Perhaps feeling that her words weren't strong enough, she thought for a moment and then added, "That's backstabbing!"
