Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Chapter 7 The God of Gamblers Arrives



"Lao Sun's buns? Let me try them." Li Wei next to him was about to grab it, but Luo Yun's quick eyes and quick hands knocked him away.

"Go buy it for Brother Yu!"

"Oh. Sister Yun, you are so kind to Brother Yu." Li Wei had a strange smile on his face.

Luo Yun had a pretty face: "As long as you help me change the music, I will also buy you breakfast!"

"It's okay, let's eat. Luo Yun bought a lot." Yu Dongqing took the plastic bag with a smile, handed Li Wei two buns, and picked up one to eat.

Although I had already eaten breakfast and was not hungry, the other party's thoughts were clear.

"Brother Yu, will the old witch be shot if you tell me that I wrote it?" Luo Yun asked in a low voice again.

"Probably. No?"

Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

In fact, he was not sure, Wu Lan's requirements were quite high.

Sure enough, the arranger was quickly called back by Wu Lan.

Rewrite!

The arrangement is too mediocre.

"Old witch!" Luo Yun gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice, but still silently opened the fruit software on her computer.

After getting off work at noon, Yu Dongqing was about to go out for dinner. When he saw Luo Yun still working in front of the computer, he brought her a packed lunch after going out to eat.

When she entered the office, Luo Yun was still busy. Yu Dongqing put the lunch box on her table before the others came back from dinner.

"Come on, let's eat first. The body is the capital of revolution."

"Thanks."

Luo Yun took the lunch box and ate slowly.

"Luo Yun?"

"Um?"

"According to your family conditions, you don't need to be so desperate, right?" Yu Dongqing expressed his doubts.

"How do you know that my family's conditions are good?" Luo Yun smiled slyly.

"Ha, just the BMW 7 Series you drive, the Hermès bag you carry, and the Loewe perfume you wear."

"Huh? You can even smell the brand of perfume? How about it? Does it smell good?"

Yu Dongqing was silent.

Luo Yun smiled and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Brother Yu, you guessed it right. My family situation is not bad. My husband is the sales manager of Longhua Group, and my father-in-law is the deputy director of Huangdu TV and the chairman of Huangdu Film and Television Media Company."

Yu Dongqing was secretly surprised.

Longhua Group is the largest real estate company in the country at this time and space. As for Huangdu TV, not all TV stations in this time and space are state-owned. Huangdu TV is one of the largest private TV stations in the country. It is especially strong in entertainment, comparable to Mango TV in the original time and space.

Its subsidiary Huangdu Film and Television Media Company is a listed company controlled by Huangdu Television and is also one of the largest film and television companies in China.

"In that case, why are you working so hard? Wouldn't it be better to be transferred to your father-in-law's unit to work at leisure, or simply be a rich wife and walk the dog and do beauty treatments every day?" Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"I don't want to be a canary in a cage." Luo Yun replied.

Yu Dongqing didn't know what to say.

"Hey, every family has its own hard-to-recite scriptures. Apart from this, there is another reason why I come to work in Jinye. I like music very much. I have loved singing since I was a child. After graduating from high school, I prepared to take the Central Conservatory of Music exam but failed. Culture My grades in class were average, so I ended up studying in the Music Department of Capital Normal University.”

"After I met my husband, their family didn't allow me to show my face as a singer. I didn't want to go to my father-in-law's office to avoid gossiping behind his back, so I came to Jinye to work as an arranger. Now it seems that I really don't want to be a part of this job. His material is incomparable to those from other serious music majors."

"At least he's better than me. I study mathematics." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"But, if you can write the overture to the Little Knife Club, I guess I won't be able to write it in my lifetime. Okay, no more chatting, I have to go to work, lest the old witch comes to see me later, and her mouth is not her mouth, and her face is not Face."

"Okay, you're busy."

In the afternoon, Luo Yun continued her work and recomposed the music and sent it to Wu Lan. She was hit back when she was about to get off work.

It is an improvement compared to the previous version, but it still lacks the taste. It is recommended to revise it.

"Oh my god. Just kill me. I've tried my best." Luo Yun wailed and lay on the table. What could she write now that she was dizzy and brain-drained?

At this time, Yu Dongqing happened to pass by her after get off work, and Luo Yun's heart moved and she called him over.

"Brother Yu."

Yu Dongqing stopped and looked at Luo Yun's expression of despair, knowing that the arranger had been beaten back again.

"What? The arranger was shot again?"

"Well, the old witch is too demanding. If I can't complete the task, it seems that my bonus for this month is gone. The bonus is a trivial matter. It would be too embarrassing to spread it out! Brother Yu, can you help me revise it? Just ask for whatever conditions you want." Luo Yun said.

Yu Dongqing shook his head.

"Luo Yun, to be honest, this song is terrible. It is equivalent to being a beggar. If you make him wear Armani men's clothing, he will look like a high-end beggar, but he is still a beggar."

"Puch." Luo Yun was amused by Yu Dongqing's words, and her branches trembled.

"Brother Yu, why don't you just rewrite a song and arrange it, then I can see the noble man wearing Armani."

Ah? The requirements are high.

Yu Dongqing glanced at her.

"Brother Yu, I'm serious." Luo Yun looked sincere.

"It can be seen from the song "Little Knife Club Overture" that you are actually very talented in composing. Don't worry, I won't let you write in vain. I have the copyright. If the music you write is passed, I will compose it in the future. I will give you all the income from the royalties! I will not take advantage of you."

Yu Dongqing listened and pondered for a moment.

"Let me try?

"Please, Brother Yu!"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

The next morning, when Yu Dongqing arrived at the office, he saw Luo Yun buying steaming buns again and greeted him enthusiastically.

Already had breakfast.

Yu Dongqing reluctantly ate another one, turned on the computer, first called up the Notation software to write the main melody, and then opened FL Studio to arrange the music. It took more than two hours to complete.

I put on my headphones and listened carefully.

Not bad, as if I could once again see Fa Ge’s domineering and mighty appearance when he entered the scene.

The song he wrote is exactly "God of Gamblers" - Chow Yun-fat's entrance music: "The Final Countdown" in Chinese is called "The Final Countdown, The Final Countdown"!

In fact, this soundtrack is a rock song composed and sung by the Swedish band Europe in the 1980s. Later, the music version in the movie "God of Gamblers" was slightly modified by Lu Guanting. Compared with the original song, it is more domineering and stylish, while the original song focuses more on vitality and passion.

After finishing writing, he looked at his quiet colleagues around him. Instead of calling Luo Yun, he picked up his phone and sent her a WeChat message.

Yu Dongqing replied and forwarded the generated audio file to Luo Yun through the desktop version of WeChat.

Luo Yun saw the document in WeChat, put on headphones and listened to it again, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Yu Dongqing with an excited expression.

"Calm down. At work." Yu Dongqing sent a WeChat message.

Soon, he replied again.

"Hey, Brother Yu, at your current level, eating steamed buns is going to kill you. Why don't you let me hang out with you?"

"What's the meaning?"

"How about leaving the Jin industry and setting up a new business, proud of the music world, and I will do some odd jobs for you, like a sweeping maid?"

this?

"I have no such plan. It's good now, because I meet a monk in the bamboo courtyard and have half a day's free time. Isn't it a good time like this?" Yu Dongqing replied to the message.

"Okay, you can play with the hidden dragon in the abyss, but one day the flying dragon will be in the sky but not Brother Yu. It's just a joke, I will definitely fulfill my previous words."

Yu Dongqing knew that she was talking about the copyright of the music, so he smiled and didn't reply.

"Then it's settled. I'll send it to the old witch first so she can take a look."

That afternoon, a piece of news spread throughout the business department: Luo Yun wrote a hit soundtrack!

Moreover, the relevant executives of Jiamei Film and Television appreciated it so much that they not only used the soundtrack called "The Final Countdown" as the BGM for "God of Gamblers", but also planned to use it in another newly-started TV series "Love in the Magic City" about the Republic of China period.

In this way, Luo Yun, as the creator, will receive a certain amount of copyright sharing income.

"Sister Yun, you are so awesome, I want to treat you."

"Luo Yun, do your best."
