From Composer to Entertainment Superstar

Wang Xuan handed the edited film "Classmates 2" to Li Tao for review.

Li Tao sent Wang Xuan the details of the movie he was talking about.

[More than a thousand years ago, in the small town of Scarborough, soldier Coby Adam met the girl Ellen.

Allen has bright eyes and white teeth, and smiles like the sun in the sky. His eyebrows are curved, and there is a faint aura of violet in his brilliance. Adam has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and strong. They fell in love at first sight, and like all passionate lovers, they stick together every day.

together.

They eat together, go shopping together, travel together, or savor books in the library, or watch a popcorn movie together on weekends, or they just stay together, quietly, not talking, just reflecting each other's eyes.

Life is simple and happy. If nothing unexpected happens, they will continue to live a plain life like this. However, a sudden war breaks their peaceful life. In order to defend their homeland, Adam can only answer the call and go to the front line.

How happy we are when we get together, how painful we are when we part.

Ellen said goodbye to Adam and followed the troops for a long time. She said she would wait for him no matter how long it took, and asked him to take care of himself. He said he would definitely come back, and hoped that she would always be kind, gentle, and beautiful.

, bravely face the days when there would be no peace without him.

They agreed that when he came back, he would marry her, and when he came back, she would marry him.

This war lasted for a long time.

Adam spent every day in a hail of bullets. Because of love and his deep attachment to the girl, he was able to survive until tomorrow in every night of pain and uncertainty about life and death. Whenever he felt that he could not hold on, the bag in his pocket

The photo of Zhang Ailun smiling like a flower is his best comfort and gives him the courage to live.

And after Ellen finished her work every day, she would write a letter to Adam on the front line, even though she knew that the soldiers would never receive it. She would stand at the intersection where she and Adam parted from time to time, looking at the direction in which Adam was leaving, for a long time.

Words are like a stone that looks to your husband.

Ten years later, the war finally won. Adam had outstanding military exploits, but he was seriously injured in the last war.

He didn't want Allen to see his injured appearance, so he decided to go to the military hospital for treatment. Before going to the military hospital, he asked his comrade Robinson to go to the small town of Scarborough and help him tell Allen everything.

Be well, he will be back soon, don't worry Alan.

Robinson agreed.

On the other side, after Allen learned that the war was victorious, he came to the intersection every day to prepare for Adam's triumphant return. However, it was not Adam who was waiting, but Robinson.

As soon as Robinson saw Allen, he was attracted by Allen's innocence and beauty. So he did not intend to follow Adam's instructions. Instead, he lied to Allen and said that Adam was accidentally shot and died in the war.

Lun felt sorry for him because he knew that it would take two years for Adam's injury to heal.

Two years was enough for him to deceive Allen.

After hearing the bad news, Ellen felt like the sky was falling. She wanted to die and go to heaven to be with Adam, but Robinson stopped her. Robinson told her that Adam's best wish during his lifetime was that she could be strong.

Live, find someone to fall in love with, get married, and have children.

Allen remembered the agreement Adam made with her before joining the army, and finally decided to live bravely. And Robinson would appear next to Allen every day, showing his attentiveness.

Two years later, Adam returned from his injury and couldn't wait to find Ellen. However, the town was no longer the same. The place where he and she once lived had long since ceased to exist in the bombing. He ran across like crazy.

Looking for Allen from street to street, he unexpectedly learned that Allen and Robinson were getting married in a church.

At that moment, Allen was completely confused.

One was his beloved girl, and the other was his best comrade-in-arms. He just asked Robinson to tell Allen that he was safe on his behalf. He thought that Allen would stick to their love like him. As a result, Allen and Robinson

Binson is getting married?

The rain soaked his face and his uniform. He felt bitingly cold and deeply betrayed.

No, he never believed that Allen would betray him, because Allen once said that he would wait for him no matter how long it took. He rushed into the church like crazy. At this time, the wedding had already reached the last part, and Robinson wanted to

Put a ring on Ellen.

Adam yelled at the top of his lungs, calling Alan's name at the top of his lungs.

Hearing Adam's voice, Ellen couldn't believe it. She turned to look at Adam. After seeing Adam's figure, she rushed to Adam desperately. It turned out that she agreed to marry Robinson not because she fell in love with Robinson, but because she agreed to marry him.

During this time, Robinson had been by her side and helped her a lot. She didn't know how to repay him, and Adam was gone, so when Robinson proposed to her, she agreed.

Now that the truth is revealed, it is naturally impossible for Allen to marry Robinson.

At the end of the story, Adam pulled Allen, who was wearing a wedding dress, out of the church and got on a bus to a distant place. The lovers went through many hardships and finally got married]

The above is the general plot of the youth art film shot by Michael Nichols. The film is called "War and Peace".

After Wang Xuan watched the plot, he remembered a song. An absolutely classic English song, "Scarborough Fair", its Chinese name is also called "Scarborough Fair".

This is a classic English song with a beautiful melody. It was used as the interlude of the 40th Academy Award-winning film "The Graduate". The tune is poignant and melodious, touching people deeply in the soul. However, Wang Xuan feels that this song

The song does not match the plot of "The Graduate", but it matches "War and Peace" filmed by Michael Nichols better.

Scarborough is a coastal town in North Yorkshire, England. Historically, the town held a 45-day market starting from August 15th every year, attracting businessmen from all over England and even Europe. This is the Scarborough Fair.

reason.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Scarborough Fair also has a homophonic meaning, which is the homophony of Scar-Borrow-Fair, which means a market where pain is borrowed. In reality, there is no such thing as borrowing money.

Come to the Pain Fair, but if you put it in an anti-war song, Scar-Borrow-Fair has an extended meaning, that is Battle Field.

Replace Scarborough Fair with Battle Field, and the song's opening sentence becomes "Are you going to battle field?" (Are you going to battle field?)

"Scarborough Fair" is an anti-war song. The beginning of the chorus is like the dim and desolate sky in autumn. It calmly talks about the sufferings in the war and expresses the desire for peace in a contrasting way. It also expresses a man who is fighting on the front line.

The soldier missed his lover deeply, and he asked people who went to Scarborough to bring greetings to the girl.

After the first line of each lyric, a seemingly unrelated line is inserted: "There are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme", which respectively represent the sweetness, strength, loyalty and courage of love.

It is also said that these four kinds of flowers have the hidden meaning of "death", implying that the lover far away has passed away. It is the repeated appearance of this line of lyrics that emphasizes the nostalgic atmosphere of the song and makes people appreciate the natural and simple beauty of Sizhen.

The scenery is full of infinite yearning.

As one of the most famous and successful folk songs of the 20th century, and in line with the plot of the movie, it shouldn't be a problem to apply for the movie theme song.

This song is destined to become a classic.

Chen Xueqi wants to take the international route, but Wang Xuan is reluctant to let her climb up the ladder step by step. The only way to open up the market is to open up the market with just a few songs. And this song "Scarborough Fair" is Chen Xueqi's breakthrough into the European and American markets.

Weapons.

After finishing the song, Wang Xuan recorded a demo, and then handed the score and demo to Li Tao, who asked Li Tao to register the copyright and send the demo to the other party.

Li Tao was surprised when he learned that Wang Xuan had already prepared the theme song for the movie.

As a well-known director in American Hollywood, Michael Nichols naturally has no shortage of theme songs for his movies, and many well-known composers are willing to work for him. As a result, "War and Peace" actually has to openly solicit theme songs. In the final analysis, it is because

The theme song for this movie was not easy to compose.

But after Wang Xuan got the plot of the movie, he composed the theme song in just two days and even recorded the demo. How could Li Tao not be surprised by this?

He knew that Wang Xuan would never hit the target without aim. If other people composed a movie theme song in two days, he would definitely feel that it was perfunctory, but for Wang Xuan, the shorter the time, the more confident he was, which meant that Wang Xuan

I have absolute confidence in this theme song.

Sure enough, he tried listening to the demo. Even though it was just electronic music, his eyes widened in surprise.

On the other side, Chen Xueqi had not seen Wang Xuan for two months. So after knowing that Wang Xuan had a break of ten days after filming "Classmates 2", she directly rejected the announcement during this period and returned to the Magic City to accompany her.

Accompany Wang Xuan.

As soon as the two meet, they become inseparable, and a little separation is better than a new love.

Chen Xueqi, who was addicted to food, gradually strengthened her fighting power, and actually lasted for more than half an hour before she began to beg for mercy. In the next few days, Wang Xuan and Chen Xueqi stayed at home tenderly, cherishing this short time together.

Then the two came to the company.

Wang Xuan directly helped Chen Xueqi record "Scarborough Fair". Chen Xueqi's voice is so beautiful.

What is the sound of nature? You will know it when you listen to Chen Xueqi singing this song "Scarborough Fair".

Anyway, Wang Xuan is very amazing.

After Wang Xuan helps Chen Xueqi record the song, there will be news about the movie theme song.

Li Tao excitedly informed Wang Xuan that the theme song had been chosen by Michael Nichols. However, the other party said that the theme song could not be sung by the designated singer from Tianhai because the other party also had a cooperating singer, a top international diva.

Michael Nichols has always liked to collaborate with top international divas to increase the popularity of his movies.

"Then what did you tell the other party?" Wang Xuan asked.

"I replied to the other party that the song must be sung by our designated singer, otherwise we would ask them to find another theme song. Then they said they would think about it," Li Tao said.

Wang Xuan nodded: "Yes. I composed this song mainly to help Qiqi enter the international market, not specifically for their movies. The reason why I chose to cooperate with them is just to ride on their coattails.

Just make it easier for Qiqi to leave.

You can reply to them now and think about it, but we will only give them 3 days to think about it. At the end of the 3 days, if they haven't thought about it yet, then we plan to release the song directly." Wang Xuan said, "By the way, this is my help.

You can also send the songs Qiqi has recorded to them."

"Understood!" Li Tao said, with some emotion in his heart.

Who among other domestic entertainment companies dares to be so aggressive towards Michael Nichols? As long as they can choose Michael Nichols' movie theme song, they are willing to do anything? After all, Michael Nichols is a well-known international director, so he can be chosen

The theme song of his movie is an opportunity to become famous internationally.

Only Wang Xuan is not polite to Michael Nichols at all. If you want to use the theme song I composed, the singer must be designated by me, and I will only give you three days to consider it. If you are late, I will not wait.

This is not a newbie, nor is it arrogance, but confidence. The confidence to treat Michael Nichols lightly.

Li Tao replied, and soon there was new feedback.

"The other party originally had doubts about who we wanted to sing the song "Scarborough Fair." I told the other party that it was the singer of "Dream It Possible" and sent the version sung by Qiqi, and the other party readily agreed.

But the other party made a request, they hope Qiqi can go over and cooperate with their movie promotion."

"No problem, cooperating with the movie promotion is also an opportunity to increase Qiqi's international exposure. After the movie is released and the popularity subsides, we will take the opportunity to release an English album for Qiqi and completely open up the international market." Wang Xuan said.

Chen Xueqi also had no objection. Although she wanted to stay with Wang Xuan, she also knew that if she wanted to give Wang Xuan the greatest help and take the international route, it would be best to become an international diva superstar. There is another point, very

Wang Xuan will be filming a new movie soon. Even if she wants to stay with Wang Xuan, she can't unless she visits the crew every day.

Celebrities are like this. They look glamorous, but they are actually very busy. Sometimes they stay busy for two or three months.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you about the cooperation method. The other party hopes to buy out the song, and the price offered is 5 million eagle national coins."

Five million Eagle National Coins, converted into Chinese National Coins, is 35 million, which is not a small amount, but Wang Xuan's answer is "impossible"!

"Don't say 5 million, even 10 million is impossible. You tell the other party that the only way to cooperate with this song is licensing. Tianhai authorizes them to use it. The licensing fee can be slightly lower. 1 million should be enough, but only for "

"War and Peace" was used in the movie. If they don't agree, then there's no need to talk about it," Wang Xuan said.

This is "Scarborough Fair". How could Wang Xuan accept a buyout and only sell it for 5 million eagle coins?

"But won't this seem too strong?"

"No. Westerners have a gangster mentality. The stronger is respected. The stronger you are to him, the more he respects you. If you are cowardly and groveling to him, the more he looks down on you, and looks down on you from the bottom of his heart." Wang Xuan said. In fact, Wang Xuan said.

Xuan didn't agree to the buyout for other reasons. He knew what the other party was planning.

The song "Scarborough Fair" is so classic. After the buyout, the other party can authorize others to cover the song. They don't know how much they will receive just from the copyright fee for the cover. They can even remove the original singer Chen Xueqi.

, directly ban Chen Xueqi from singing this song later.

"That's right." Li Tao nodded and told Wang Xuan what he meant.

As expected, Michael Nichols agreed and informed Li Tao that "War and Peace" would be released in the summer, asking Tianhai to reject Chen Xueqi's summer release announcement and cooperate with the film's promotion. Also, Michael Nichols also planned to

Bind Wang Xuan to promote together. After all, Wang Xuan is a top international pianist. This name is still very famous in foreign countries.

In fact, Tianhai is so strong that Michael Nichols did not fall out. He likes the theme song "Scarborough Fair" for one reason, and Wang Xuan is for another reason. As one of the top ten pianists in the world, Wang Xuan is well known internationally.

His position as a celebrity is not inferior to his, so it is natural for him to be strong.

.......

Chen Xueqi and Wang Xuanwen stayed with each other for a few days before continuing to work. The main reason was that she was going to Eagle Country in mid-July to cooperate with the movie promotion, and she had some unmissable announcements on hand, so she could only use this time to complete them.

After Chen Xueqi left, Wang Xuan began to write the movie script for "Once Upon a Time in the Sky". He planned to finish the script before the end of June and make the storyboards. After that, he could start setting up a crew, selecting actors, and filming.

Time is rushing, and the end of June has quickly arrived. Wang Xuan has finally finished writing the script for "Once Upon a Time in China", but there are still less than half of the scenes to be completed, and it is expected to take about 5 days.

It was also at the end of June that "Classmates 2" passed review.

Yes, "Classmates 2" only took 15 days from submission to review. This is naturally due to Wang Xuan's golden body. You know, "Classmates 2" is a 52-episode TV series. Normally speaking

Let alone 15 days, even 40 days may not pass the trial.

Tianhai informed Yangcheng TV of the news that "Classmates 2" had passed the review.

Yangcheng Satellite TV is overjoyed, and together with Tianhai, plans to release "Classmates 2" on the summer schedule.

Afterwards, Tianhai and Yangcheng TV's official Weibo announced at the same time that "Classmates 2" will be scheduled for summer. As soon as the announcement came out, the Internet went crazy.
