376: Do It Yourself!
The first part of "Young Bao Qingtian" had 40 episodes, which was refined into 38 episodes by Jiang Ge.
The plot rhythm of each episode is very tight, and the amount of information is also large, but it is at just the right critical point so that the audience will not feel overtired.
Moreover, when the information is most compact and the amount of information is greatest, some plots of other characters will be relayed to relieve and divert attention, while also giving the audience time and space to think and digest.
Furthermore, each character is related through various things, large and small, and ultimately leads to a line, allowing the audience to easily get involved in the plot rhythm and emotional rhythm.
"Ah, it's over?" Zhou Lingwei said, looking at the stopped player.
"No way, part of the 345 episodes has not been filmed yet, and it will be available for post-production next week at the earliest." Jiang Ge said with a shrug.
When Zhou Lingwei heard this, she immediately pouted. She thought it was quite interesting, but unfortunately she didn't watch it. She added: "Shen Yang's acting skills have improved. This Bao Zheng plays neither Xiao Yu'er nor Xiao Yu'er." Wei Xiaobao, but..."
Jiang Ge asked with interest: "What is it?"
Zhou Lingwei blinked her eyes and said: "When it comes to business, he acts with seriousness, perseverance, and reliability. In daily life, he acts with the mentality of a teenager. After watching the first, second, and third episodes, It’s as if he has merged with the character Bao Zheng, and there is no trace of ‘acting’ at all.”
Jiang Ge nodded secretly. At least from the perspective of a bystander, Shen Yang's condition was OK. He immediately asked: "As a whole, does it look good?"
"Well..." Zhou Lingwei was thinking, and after comparing with other dramas in her head, she said: "How should I put it, it is a different style from the dramas in White Night Universe, and it is relatively relaxed. As for the part about solving crimes..."
As he said that, he spread his hands and said: "It's gone just as we started, so we can't compare."
Jiang Ge smiled. This review was very objective, as was her past style, and added: "If you want to see it, I will send it to you when the later samples come out."
"I don't want it anymore. I'll watch it when it starts airing." Zhou Lingwei shook her head and asked, "By the way, when it starts airing, will it be a rush?"
Jiang Ge replied: "It will start airing on April 26th. It's not too late. There will be almost 9 episodes by then."
Zhou Lingwei nodded "Oh".
The drama "Young Bao Qingtian" is not suitable for the public, so Blueberry TV has put it on a peaceful schedule, with one episode scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they went to bed.
Zhou Lingwei stayed with Jiang Ge on the set for the whole weekend. Most of the staff on the set were old employees, so they were used to it.
After she left, Jiang Ge focused all his attention on work. The task of weekly drama broadcast was relatively heavy. If it rained, it would be delayed a lot of time. Besides, there were three crews in one park, so now he could Just shoot more.
——————
The weather in April is warm and comfortable, without the rain or the scorching sun. It is gentle, gentle and full of joy.
On this day, the crew had a few uninvited guests.
The leader is Zhang Tiegang, a national first-class actor, director, producer, and host. He has won the Best Actor Award at the Golden Eagle Award and the Golden Rooster Award. He is a veteran actor who has become a TV king and a movie king. He is also a CCTV cultural exploratory program. Chief director and narrator of "National Treasure".
After a few simple polite words, Jiang Ge took the lead in asking: "I wonder why Teacher Tiegang came to see me?"
"Then I'll tell you the truth." Zhang Tiegang smiled gently and said, "The recording of the fourth season of "National Treasure" is about to begin, and we would like to ask you to write a theme song."
I had received invitations before, but there had been no follow-up. I didn’t expect the chief director to come in person.
Jiang Ge did not agree directly, but was silent for a few seconds before saying, "What are your requirements?"
Zhang Tiegang blurted out: "It is best to use pure music of Chinese style, which can show the magnanimity and ambition of the 24 dynasties that have been ups and downs for thousands of years, and the indestructible blood pride of billions of people in the only uninterrupted civilization in the world today, and A blood sacrifice to the pursuit spirit of countless revolutionary ancestors over the past century.”
Jiang Ge habitually picked at the corners of his eyes. This was a lot to ask for, and it was not easy.
but……
With the system in hand, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Tiegang thought he was being stumped and said, "Songs are also fine."
Jiang Ge bit his lower lip and said, "When do you want it?"
Zhang Tiegang replied: "Maybe it's a bit rushed, it will start broadcasting on the 28th of this month."
Jiang Ge thought for a while and said: "The time is not bad."
Seeing the drama, Zhang Tiegang immediately raised his reward.
This part of the conversation was very fast, and CCTV was very generous.
Jiang Ge nodded and said: "I will take over this matter and hand in the music before the 15th."
Zhang Tiegang said with a face full of expression: "There is one more thing."
besides?
Jiang Ge couldn't guess what it was and said, "You tell me."
Zhang Tiegang continued: "We would also like to ask you to serve as the guardian of the national treasure of the first cultural relic in the first phase and tell the story of inheriting the memory of China."
Jiang Ge was stunned when he heard this.
I……
Become a guardian of national treasures?
At this time, Zhang Tiegang took the program script from his assistant, handed it over and said, "You can read it first and then make a decision."
Jiang Ge reached out to take it and opened the first page. He had seen the picture above. It was a cultural relic "Ming Yongle Blue and White Seawater River Cliff Pattern Three-legged Furnace" exhibited in the "National Treasure" on earth.
That's right, it's blue and white porcelain.
This, this, this... opportunity is coming to my door.
Seeing his eyes widening, Zhang Tielin thought it was interesting, so he introduced: "This cultural relic comes from the famous JDZ Imperial Kiln Factory. It was an important national artifact used as a sacrifice when Emperor Yongle Zhu Di moved the capital to BJ..."
Django listened and wondered whether to go.
Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain" is a song he likes very much. Ever since he traveled to Blue Star, he has always wanted to release it, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
There is one problem if he goes, and that is that he has to sing.
After Zhang Tielin finished the introduction, he added: "If you don't like the story we arranged, you can change it."
Jiang Ge was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision, saying: "There is no problem with this story, but I want to add a song to it."
As the chief director of "National Treasure", Zhang Tielin is responsible for every national treasure in every issue. He first asked: "Can you let me hear what kind of song it is?"
They invite influential public figures as "guardians of national treasures" to tell the stories behind the cultural relics, allowing more viewers to enter the museum and understand how to appreciate the beauty of the cultural relics while also understanding the civilization and Chinese culture carried by the cultural relics. The spiritual core of continuity arouses the public's attention to the protection of cultural relics and the protection of civilization.
Django is a very influential public figure today, and he is also a positive teaching material for reforming and transcending oneself. He is very suitable to be the guardian of national treasures.
Knowing that he likes to take advantage of situations, if he wants to launch a new song on the show, it is not impossible, but it depends on what kind of song it is.
Jiang Ge said truthfully: "It's a song about blue and white porcelain."
Zhang Tiegang's eyes lit up and he said without hesitation: "Okay."
He has listened to many of Django's songs. As long as the theme is determined, it will be good, such as "A Bridge of Fate" written for "Dragon City Flying General", "My Motherland" written for National Day, and "My Motherland" written for West Lake. He wrote "A Thousand Years of Waiting Once" and so on.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain, and this trip was not in vain.
He was already looking forward to it.
Subsequently.
The two parties agreed verbally and signed the contract in a few days.
Jiang Ge was not in a hurry and had plenty of time. In the following days, he would film as usual every day.
On April 17, I finished work and returned to the hotel in the evening.
"Pick the theme song first."
Django turns on the system.
[Superstar development system]
[Host: Django]
[Skills: Master Level Music Theory Knowledge, Master Level Directing Knowledge]
[Superstar value: 215241]
[Binding stars: Lin Yu, Qin Shiyue, Xu Chenyi, etc. 】
I haven't looked at the data for a long time, and the [Superstar Value] has exceeded 200,000.
"The more artists there are, the better."
Jiang Ge took another look at the skill experience bar. [Master Level·Director Knowledge] was 15% short of being promoted to the next level. [Master Level·Music Theory Knowledge] was slower, with a 30% difference.
Fewer songs released?
Actually no, mainly because a play has several artists contributing their experience, while a song basically has one artist contributing their experience.
Back to business and start choosing.
Django has a target this time, which is the national music used in "National Treasure" on Earth.
In a blink of an eye, the songs were selected, including "Water Dragon Song", "Jiuzhou Tong", "Drunken Peace", "Xiang King's Journey", "Broken Formation Music" and so on.
Most of them are composed by Guan Dazhou. He is an independent music producer and young composer. He has produced music for many variety shows such as "Qi Pa Shuo Shuo", "Open the Door", "Avenue of Stars", etc., and also served as the music director for "National Treasure" Director.
Jiang Ge fell in love with "Jiuzhou Tong" at a glance. This piece is very majestic. Whether it is the solo part or the ensemble part, it can make you picture the land of China in your mind, from the desert grasslands in Mobei to the loess ravines in the northwest. From the ancient cities and villages in the Central Plains to the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Done!"
Jiang Ge did not hesitate at all. After redeeming "Jiuzhou Tong", he also redeemed "Blue and White Porcelain".
After getting the music, I immediately sent the music score to Fang Cong. This would definitely require cooperation with a "palace-level Chinese music artist".
However, Fang Cong had already gone to bed, and he only saw it the next day. During breakfast, he said to a few old friends who had gathered to join the ensemble: "Hey, Xiao Jiang sent me the music score."
Fan Yun asked while eating: "How is the music? Is it on the level of "Don't Lose, Don't Forget", "Peach Blossom Island", and "Fairy Sword"?"
Fang Cong gave him a roll of his eyes and said angrily: "I just got the music score. Where can I know the quality of the music?"
Fan Yun didn't take it seriously and said: "Then eat quickly. After eating, go to the practice room to try."
Cai De and Li Yun were also eager to listen to Django's new music, so they immediately speeded up their meal.
Five minutes later.
"The musical instruments are satar, flute, guzheng and suona." Fang Cong said, and gave them the music score, and then said: "I come to satar, Lao Cai, you are full of energy, I will leave the suona to you, and then Lao Fan’s flute and Lao Li’s guzheng.”
The instruments were divided and each tried his or her part.
Fan Yun said thoughtfully: "It seems to be different from the previous music style, and it is more grand."
Cai De followed: "There is something."
Li Yun mused: "The four traditional national musical instruments, their popular regions and the differences in timbre, just fit the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. No wonder they are named 'Kiuzhou'."
Fang Cong looked at them and said, "Come on, let's play together."
Everyone nodded.
In an instant, Miaomiao's voice filled the practice room.
At the same time, the headquarters building of Huafeng Media.
Jiang Ge came to the recording studio to record "Blue and White Porcelain".
He had considered asking Xu Chenyi or Lin Yu to sing, but he liked this song too much, so he made up his mind and decided to do it himself.
"Mr. Jiang."
...
Only the recording engineer Feng Liang was here today, and the music director Luo Hai went to prepare the soundtracks for several plays.
"I'll record a song." Jiang Ge threw the USB flash drive over.
"Okay." Feng Liang caught the USB flash drive and plugged it into the USB docking station. He suddenly widened his eyes and stayed where he was.
Mr. Jiang...
I'm going to record a song!
At this time, Jiang Ge had already entered the recording studio, and the recording equipment such as headphones, brackets, and pop filters were all in sight.
This was the first time he recorded a song in his life, and he felt a little strange, both excited and nervous.
Feng Liang rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing wrong, and pinched himself to make sure he was not dreaming.
Mr. Jiang... Is he going to enter the music industry?
Jiang Ge put on the monitoring headphones and found that there was no accompaniment in it. He immediately nodded to Feng Liang to signal that it was time to start.
Feng Liang came back to his senses and hurriedly played the accompaniment.
"Blank embryo..."
Jiang Ge rushed to the beat as soon as he opened his mouth, which was a bit embarrassing.
Feng Liang's eyes were dull.
This...
Could it be that Director Jiang only knows how to instruct others on paper, but can't sing himself?
"Play it again from the beginning." Jiang Ge said very naturally.
"Okay." Feng Liang nodded.
He was still nervous. Jiang Ge almost laughed just now. Fortunately, he came alone.
He focused his attention and took a deep breath. The accompaniment sounded in the monitoring headphones. He followed the beat and sang: "The blank embryo outlines the blue and white brushstrokes from thick to light, and the peony depicted on the bottle is like your first makeup..."
The singing, like a ray of bright sunshine, illuminated the heart.
And.
What surprised Feng Liang the most was the song itself.
First of all, the melody part, the pentatonic scale mode makes this song have distinct Chinese characteristics, and it uses more common three-tone groups in Chinese national modes, and presents the unique elegant and hazy artistic conception of Chinese music.
Then the lyrics part, with the method of alternating between literary and vernacular, has achieved a combination of ancient and modern, with a very classical charm, and it feels natural when combined with the melody.
In general, the melody of the whole song is simple and beautiful, and the lyrics are simple and elegant, which is refreshing, rich in connotation, and makes people have endless aftertaste.
"Yes, it's so beautiful!"
Feng Liang reviewed all the songs created by Jiang Ge, and this new song can definitely be ranked in the top three. He wants to take back the doubt that "he can only guide others on paper, but he can't sing himself". With this voice and singing skills, he has killed countless professional singers in seconds.
Uh... is it a bit too much?
In short, he feels that he is no worse than Xu Chenyi and Lin Yu.
