Chapter 57 Through the ages
This was the first time for Pu Tong to see his classmates wearing ancient costumes. It was obvious that they were filming a variety show.
There was even a guy wearing glasses in the group of classmates. Did the producer really not notice this revealing scene?
Several star students were in the center of the venue. Of course he could see them clearly and had a rough mental evaluation of their costumes.
Ancient costumes have very high requirements for physical appearance. Because they have to conform to classical aesthetics, many people who look good in modern clothes may not look good in ancient costumes.
Chen Siqing's appearance is more Korean, with slender eyes, skin, and a pointed chin. Her hair is pulled up and her bangs are gone, which makes her whole face longer. Xie Mu's appearance is decent, but her body is too thin. She looks a little bloated in ancient clothes, and her head-to-body ratio is quite similar. strangeness……
On the contrary, Gan Hengxu, who usually does not look very outstanding, has the best image in ancient costume. He has regular facial features, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and good body proportions. Because he comes from an opera family, as a "corner", he has a tall and straight posture, and has a clear temperament. Made in heaven.
The female students are all fine. Yu Wanwan, Lin Yuxi, and Tang Luocheng are all veteran actors and can easily handle ancient costumes. Sakura Girl also has an oriental appearance and doesn't look bad.
If I had to rank it, Lin Yuxi should be the most beautiful...
There were so many people from the crew and the program that Pu Tong couldn't find where his father was, so he asked an acquaintance to ask.
I didn't expect this Sakura girl to make such a big move...
All the students looked at Pu Tong in confusion, some not knowing what to do.
Isn't he not coming?
"So, who is the producer?" Pu Tong beeped quietly.
"That..." Iori Yukino pointed to Producer Xue who was walking this way, with curiosity written on his face.
So what is this guy looking for a producer for?
"You're here so early!" Xue Shen came up to greet him and patted Pu Tong on the shoulder.
He is a little interested in Pu Tong, and he has been friends with his father for many years. It is of course possible to give young people a chance, but whether he can be selected depends on his music.
"I've admired my name for a long time!" Pu Tong said in greeting. To be honest, he didn't even know the producer's last name...
"It just so happens that we have just finished filming the first pass, let's fix it up!" Producer Xue shouted to everyone and waved to Pu Tong, "Follow me."
Just make a composition request yourself, and then let him go back and create slowly, and it won't take long...
"Let's go!" Pu Tong's father didn't know when he came over. He patted his back and motioned to follow him.
Pu Tong followed him dejectedly and started to eliminate the problem in his mind.
The theme song of a costume TV series, this has already been used in a large number of songs.
Although there was a lot of great music in his mind, it didn't necessarily fit the plot, so he wasn't really sure which song to choose.
Xu Lei's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared at Pu Tong's back.
It's this kid again, it's him again.
Originally, when he saw that Pu Tong was not on the list of voluntary photographers, he was quite happy, thinking that this time Pu Tong would never come out to harm him again...
As a result, now he was here again, and it seemed that he wanted to discuss something with the producer, which set off alarm bells for him.
"Why do you think he is here?" Lin Yuxi took the opportunity to pull Yu Wanwan away from Mu Nan.
She actually noticed that Yu Wanwan was not in good condition from the beginning, but she kept waiting and watching because there was no suitable time to show up. Pu Tong's appearance was just an opportunity.
"I don't know." Yu Wanwan shook his head, not yet recovering from the blow just now.
For some reason, when she looked up and found Pu Tong right in front of her, she felt much more relaxed in an instant.
It was as if the last straw that was going to break her had been blown away...
Pu Tong followed the two of them into a nearby resting shed and started a formal singing appointment.
"I believe in your talent. Being able to write such a campus ballad is considered unique in today's music world..." Xue Shen smiled, "Lao Pu has a good son!"
"If anything, I don't even know when he learned the instrument. This is my dereliction of duty as a father! Old Xue, you are so awesome!"
Pu Tong felt a little embarrassed as he watched the two of them start to talk to each other about business.
The adult world is like this.
"By the way, I'll tell you my requirements for the song first, and you can decide what to do. But I'm going to say something ugly first. This theme song is very important, and the competition will be huge..."
"First of all, have you read the original work of the TV series?"
original? Is there an original work for this thing? Pu Tong suddenly realized that this was an exclusive theme song for commercial production of TV series. It would really be bad if you haven’t read the original work...
"Huh?" Seeing that he had never seen it before, Xue Shen frowned, and his impression of Pu Tong inevitably became much lower.
This kid is a little too ambitious and ambitious... Because of a chance, he wrote a song that became popular, and now he dares to compete for the theme song without reading the original work or asking about the plot? This is too arrogant.
"Let me tell you this, Qiong Yuxing is a fairy tale drama about the unparalleled love between an ignorant girl and the Lingxu Immortal..."
Pu Tong listened obediently, his eyes gradually starting to look weird.
This story feels so familiar...
"In the end, the heroine turned dark and became the enemy of the hero. The hero sacrificed herself to save him, leaving the heroine alone."
"So my request for the song is to reflect the emotional tragedy and conflict between the male and female protagonists. When morality and love, big love and small love, are placed in front of you, how should you choose..."
Xue Shen said a few words, but he felt that his efforts were a bit in vain. This kid was not prepared at all, so he definitely didn't understand.
"That's all, you'd better go back and read the original work twice more before starting..."
"Ahem, actually I've seen a little bit of it."
In fact, Pu Tong has never watched the so-called original work, but he has a similar fairy tale drama in his memory, which roughly meets this requirement.
And one of the theme songs of that drama seems to be Xu Song’s work?
"I have a little idea." Pu Tong decided to give it a try.
He himself is not in a hurry, after all, he only plans to take singing as a hobby now.
But now, the company needs him to do this.
"What do you think?"
"How should I put it? It's easy to paint a country, but it's hard to paint a face. Your reputation will last forever, and no one will care. It will make you laugh forever, but you won't regret it..."
"Huh?" Although he didn't know what this kid was talking about, Producer Xue at least realized that he had something.
"This thing is not easy to express. Do you have a guitar?" Pu Tong paused and decided to cut the knot quickly.
Guitar? Is it possible that this guy is planning to create on the spot?
Producer Xue observed Pu Tong's serious expression and was frightened.
"Lao Pu, do you have a guitar?"
"No, we are in a costume drama, where did the guitar come from!" Pu Luo scratched his head. He was a stage manager of pipe tools, not a magician. He did not expect that his son would create something on the spot.
"Are you sure?" Xue Shen stared at Pu Tong very seriously, still a little skeptical. After all, this is quite shocking in the entire music world.
"good……"
"Lao Pu, go find Wen Yu and ask for the guitar. I know he has it in his car!"
Wen Yu, the male lead of Qiong Yuxing, has no presence in the entire promotion.
Wait, how does this guy know that Wen Yu has a guitar in his car?
Is it possible that male directors and actors...can there still be such unspoken rules?
Your circle is really chaotic.
"Put away your dirty look. It was hard to drive after the wedding banquet last time. I just took his car. You brat, what are you thinking about?" Xue Shen looked a little embarrassed.
He is a family man, how can he be such a nice guy?
"Hehe." Pu Tong smiled awkwardly, feeling secretly happy.
Fortunately, he is not, otherwise it would be terrible for him to say that he is very interested in me...
Pu Tong's father was very efficient in doing things. He went out to ask Wen Yu and came back directly with a guitar.
"You kid, don't let the thunder be loud and the raindrops be light?"
"No, no, no."
Pu Tong took the guitar and simply played the notes.
The song he is going to sing now is Xu Song's 2015 work "Eternal", which was the theme song of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" at that time. The song "Eternity" has only 130 words, but it fully demonstrates Xu Song's unique creative talent.
The play itself is not critical, but the lyrics and music of this song were all completed by Xu Song alone. Especially the poetry and meaning of the lyrics have always been praised.
Xu Song's words are beautiful, full of artistic conception, and also contain profound meanings.
What's more important is that the story of Qiong Yuxing's drama is generally similar to Hua Qiangu in the previous life, and there is not much sense of dissonance.
"Let's call this song "Eternal"."
