This star just wants to learn

Chapter 73 Annual Rings



Pu Tong hung up the phone, his head a little confused.

In fact, he knew that Yu Wanwan didn't want to win against anyone, nor could she afford to lose. She just wanted to be herself...

But even so, even if she didn't do anything, as long as she and Mu Nan appeared in the same frame, their eyes would be on each other.

Even if they are all good-natured comparisons, those sarcastic comments will eventually sting her.

If Yu Wanwan was mediocre, no one would put her and Mu Nan together. But on the contrary, she was very good, but not as good as Mu Nan.

It's like a person who always takes second place in exams. The teacher tells him, "Diligence can make up for weakness. You have already done a good job, there is no need to compete with the first place." This is more hurtful than criticism.

What she needs now is not to win against anyone, but to prove that she can do better...

Pu Tong can't help her with her acting skills, so isn't singing good enough?

Maybe Mu Nan is better than Yu Wanwan in terms of acting skills, but the singing level is probably not much different. After all, both of them are acting and singing on the side, and Mu Nan's singing skills are not fully developed yet...

He had also heard Yu Wanwan's previous works, and her singing skills were definitely strong. What she lacked was just a good song.

Let her prove herself in the field she is good at, prove that she is no worse than Munan, and let those who are dissatisfied realize that Yu Wanwan is the unique Yu Wanwan, not the so-called "little Munan". This is Pu Tong's purpose.

What matters is not winning or losing, what matters is helping her regain her confidence and letting those people see her irreplaceable brilliance.

Ever since, there is a new problem...

Which song should I give her? He just had a sudden impulse to invite Yu Wanwan to compose music. In fact, he hadn't really thought about which song to choose.

The current situation is that Yu Wanwan needs to sing a song to prove that at least she is not much worse than Mu Nan in singing.

Pu Tong decided to ask the parties for their opinions...

Pu Tong: [If I could give you a song now to prove that you are no worse than Mu Nan, do you have any requirements? ]

Although the songs he remembered were limited, there were definitely many. Even if he chose according to Yu Wanwan's needs, there should be many choices.

After a while, Yu Wanwan responded with a surprised expression. She still couldn't believe that what Pu Tong just said was serious.

I will take her to compose music tomorrow, but now I ask her what type of song she wants? Could it be that he had to create it in one night?

This is somewhat unlikely...

Yu Wanwan: [If you are serious... I hope I can also sing a song composed around "Qiong Yu Xing". ]

Pu Tong: [? ]

Yu Wanwan: [Since you want to prove yourself, you should exclude other objective factors. Songs around the same theme and distributed through the same channels are the fairest form! ]

Pu Tong nodded.

Although there are many songs in his memory, if Yu Wanwan is given a song that is far different from "Eternal" and there is no comparison, then the competition will lose its meaning.

A fair competition that excludes irrelevant variables is, of course, to limit the subject as tightly as possible...

Of course, it is not advisable to let Yu Wanwan directly cover "Eternity". When listening to the song, you will have a preconceived idea. "Eternity" sung by Mu Nan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If she covers it now, she will definitely be inferior.

Therefore, what she wants to sing must be a new song, and it must be a song related to "Eternity".

Pu Tong rubbed his eyebrows, his CPU was almost burning.

"The themes are the same, there is a connection..." He muttered to himself, and suddenly thought of a song!

"Eternity" was produced as the theme song of the TV series "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" in his previous life, but that show didn't have only one theme song...

There were many pieces of music in the play at that time, but Pu Tong liked two of them the most.

One is "Eternity" by Xu Song, and the other is "Rings of the Year" by Wang Sulong.

There was even a lot of discussion at that time about which of the two songs sounded better, but overall it was always a 50-50 split.

Many people say that "Annual Rings" has good music and "Eternity" has good lyrics. The styles of the two songs are different, and there is no such thing as who is better...

Some people like "Eternity", while others like "Rings of the Year". These two songs have their own merits, but they are both songs from the same drama.

Is there anything more fitting than two songs from the same show?

The plot of "Flower Thousand Bones" is very similar to the "Qiongyu Xing" in this world, and this song also fits the theme of the TV series.

Comparing two songs from the same drama, they are exactly the same in terms of theme, content, and distribution channels. The response will depend entirely on the abilities of the two singers.

The idea is good, but it is still unknown whether the crew of "Qiong Yu Xing" needs this second song...

Pu Tong decided to take the initiative to ask. He did not have the contact information of Producer Xue, so he had to call his father first.

"Hello? Why are you calling so late?"

"Uh...does your drama still lack songs?"

"Ah ha?" Pu Tong's father's voice sounded a little shocked, "Are you short of money again?"

"No, no, I'm bursting with inspiration..."

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, as if he was silenced by Pu Tong's words.

"Normally, a drama will not include two songs by the same creator. After all, the styles cannot be homogeneous..."

"A different style!" Pu Tong added, "Just say it's a song similar to "Eternity". I created it specifically for the TV series. Ask the producer if you want it!"

"Are you serious?"

"Go and ask." Pu Tong sighed, feeling helpless.

This time he copied the song not for fame or profit, but just to cheer up Yu Wanwan.

Yu Wanwan had helped him a lot, and it was reasonable for him to help her this time.

After all, it's really not that difficult to ask him to bring out a song from his memory... He can help a good friend cross this hurdle by bringing out just a little bit of his memory. Why not?

Just when Pu Tong was thinking wildly, a strange phone call came.

"Hello?" If his guess was correct, the producer should have come to communicate with him in person.

"are you serious?"

Xue Shen didn't take any detours and got to the point as soon as he got up.

To be honest, if someone said that he wrote two songs with different styles but both excellent songs for the same drama, it would be impossible for Xue Shen to believe it... But this kid is so evil.

He even had a weird feeling. If it were Pu Tong, this kind of thing would really not be impossible!

"I believe you wrote a second song that was different in style, but the second one was on a similar level to the first one, which..."

Qiangu's interpretation of this drama was so profound that he could even say that he had written all the stories. He really didn't believe that there could be a second perfect answer to the same question.

Faced with Xue Shen's doubts, Pu Tong couldn't explain it easily. It can't be said that it was a test of the market in his previous life...

"Producer Xue, look at this. I'll come over tomorrow afternoon and let you listen to this song. Can we discuss the details in person?"

Xue Shen on the other side of the phone was silent for a while and then said: "If you really come up with a work that is not inferior to "Eternity" tomorrow, it won't be a problem to ask you to sing two songs!"

He decided to give Pu Tong a chance.

After all, the popularity brought by this theme song is so explosive that it would be a lie to say that I don’t want to repeat it a second time.

"Thank you, Producer Xue."

"Don't be a producer. Your dad and I are buddies. Call me Uncle Xue."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Pu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

He and Yu Wanwan will compose the song tomorrow morning, and go over to the crew in the afternoon to discuss a second collaboration. If everything goes well, the song will be recorded soon.

There is only so much he can do, and the specific performance depends on Yu Wanwan himself.

The two songs "Eternity" and "Rings of the Year" are both works created around a story, with similar levels but different strengths.

If Yu Wanwan sings at a level that is not inferior to that of Mu Nan, then she can definitely avenge her shame and slap those who belittled her in the face.

But if she really can't sing well, then there's nothing I can do to help...

Because he accidentally intervened in Mu Nan's forces, there was a slight imbalance in the combat power between the two singing works. Now he is just correcting this tilted balance.

Which one is more powerful depends on how much each person weighs...

"Although it's Yu Wanwan and Mu Nan's Huashan sword debate...why does it feel like I'm beating myself up now?"
