Chapter 98 What Is the Emperor's Voice?
When Xu Nuo received the order from the crew of "Tang Taizong", he thought of this song at the first time.
At first, he was a little hesitant. After all, the song "Borrow Five Hundred Years from Heaven" was too good. The top emperor's voice was no joke.
He planned to keep these classic works for himself after his debut.
However, the conditions given by the other party made him unable to refuse, five million per song!
This price is very rare in the industry. It is enough for masters to brag if they can receive such an order in their lifetime.
Not only that, the other party opened a big price right from the beginning, and the price was full of sincerity. In addition, it was introduced by director Yang Zheng, so he gave enough face and money.
The conditions given by the crew were generous, but it was not entirely because they thought Xu Nuo had a high status. Yang Zheng's recommendation played a big role.
The more important reason was that this song was not easy to write. The four words "emperor's voice" were enough to discourage most composers.
Ordinary people had no contact with the emperor's life at all, and often made jokes that the emperor was holding a golden hoe.
As for the emperor's pattern, it was even more extraordinary, and it could not be imagined by just thinking out of thin air.
Especially Emperor Taizong of Tang, who can be called the greatest emperor of all time. As one of the most popular emperors from ancient times to the present, he has an extremely high status in the hearts of Chinese people.
Such a person has always been a popular theme for TV dramas, movies and music, and there are naturally many songs.
However, most of the songs written were criticized. The reason is very simple. They did not reflect the domineering power of the greatest emperor of all time.
Holding the last hope, the crew listened to Yang Zheng's suggestion and found Xu Nuo, so Xu Nuo took out this song.
"Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven" as the theme song of "Kangxi Dynasty" has been criticized.
Of course, it is not the song itself that is criticized, but the TV series. A considerable number of fans think that Kangxi is not worthy of this song.
What's more, Kangxi succeeded to the throne at the age of 8 and was the emperor for 61 years. As the emperor with the longest reign, he is least qualified to say that he wants to live another 500 years.
Compared with other emperors of all time, Kangxi's achievements can only be said to be the ratio of fireflies to the bright moon.
The only people who can undisputedly deserve this song are Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin and great men.
If it is put on other people, including Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, there will be great controversy.
Judging from the lyrics, this song is put on Li Shimin, and there is no sense of disobedience.
The civil and military achievements, great achievements, thousands of years of feudal dynasties have never been matched.
When recording the song in the recording studio, Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou looked at it eagerly, almost drooling, and the desire in their eyes could burn through the floor.
Chen Fang was also infatuated, and wanted to understand every note thoroughly.
"Don't think about it, you can't sing this song." Xu Nuo shook his head and smiled.
"Teacher Xu, let me try!" The two said in unison, not hiding their ambitions for this song.
Xu Nuo waved his hand, "First, this song requires a deep and high voice, and you two have a low voice and a clear voice. Second, the director specified that the national team teacher Zhao Lei should sing it."
Hearing this name, Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou wilted like eggplants hit by frost.
"Teacher Xu is really amazing. Now he is working with national teams. We, the 18th-tier stars, may not have a chance in the future."
"Okay, okay, stop being sarcastic and get to work."
Xu Nuo sent the song to director Zhang Heyu at noon that day.
When he got the song, even though Yang Zheng had already given him a shot of prevention, Zhang Heyu almost had a brain crash.
You're too fast!
Zhang Heyu suddenly felt that this matter was a bit of a joke.
If the emperor of the ages was so easy to write, he wouldn't have offered a price of five million.
But Yang Zheng had vowed to him before that he should believe in Xu Nuo, which made Zhang Heyu a little entangled for a while.
Writing so quickly, wouldn't it be a trick?
With a half-believing and half-doubting attitude, he opened his mailbox.
"Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven", Zhang Heyu seemed to be touched when he saw the song title, as if there was a play.
This entry point is very exciting.
The wind stops and the heart is hard to calm down, but unfortunately there is no if in history.
If the biggest regret of the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate Incident
Then Li Shimin's biggest regret is his early death.
The greatest emperor in history, the Khan of Heaven, died of illness at the age of 50. If he had been given another ten or twenty years, the territory of the Tang Dynasty would not be limited to what it is now, and it might not be impossible to unify the world.
Zhang Heyu turned on the music, and the majestic music came to his face, majestic and heroic, even he had the urge to go to the battlefield.
The prelude alone shocked him, and he never expected that the prelude would be so powerful.
After listening to the song, Zhang Heyu felt like he had found a treasure, and called Zhao Lei, "Teacher Zhao, come quickly, it's urgent!"
It's not that he was in a hurry to record the song, but mainly because the electronic synthesized sound made him uncomfortable. Such a good song still needs Zhao Lei to come in person.
While waiting, Zhang Heyu read the lyrics over and over again, and the more he read, the more itchy he became. It was written so well!
Zhao Lei hurried over and thought something big had happened, but it turned out that Nuoyan's song was written.
"Director Zhang, you're making a big fuss, aren't you?"
Zhang Heyu stuffed the music sheet into his arms, "Go record the song."
Zhao Lei was completely confused and took out the lyrics to take a look, "Hiss! This lyric..."
"How is it?"
"Very grand."
"Haha, hurry up and record, this electronic sound is making me anxious." Zhang Heyu laughed and pushed him into the recording studio.
Zhao Lei familiarized himself with the song and tried it twice, but he always felt that it was a little off and he couldn't get into the mood.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Director Zhang, do you have any wine?"
Zhang Heyu was slightly stunned, "You want to drink?"
"Drink some wine to calm your mood."
"Won't it affect your singing?" Zhang Heyu was a little surprised, he always thought that singers couldn't drink when singing.
"It doesn't matter, it will feel better if you drink."
"Would you like white wine or beer?"
"Red wine, it's strong and you won't get drunk."
"Would you like some peanuts?" Zhang Heyu rummaged through the cabinet.
"No."
After two bottles of wine, Zhao Lei's face turned slightly red, and he calmed his emotions. He finally felt that the world was under his control.
He stretched out his hand, as if he was holding something.
"More."
It must be said that it was different after drinking. The feeling of having the world in your hands was something you couldn't have without drinking.
This time the recording went very smoothly and it was passed in one take.
Zhang Heyu was so happy that he slapped his thighs, "No wonder so many people can't write such a grand song, it turns out they didn't drink."
The two drank the remaining white wine and discussed with the producer to release the song today.
In the eyes of the two bosses, publicity is bullshit. Based on the level of this song and Zhao Lei's strength, publicity or not will not affect the popularity.
