Chapter 33 Theme Song

Three days later, Zhou Mo walked out of Huayi's headquarters building.

Just now.

Wang Sanshi signed a contract with him and authorized Lizhan to promote If You Are the One 2.

Logically speaking, there is no need for Wang Sanshi to appear in this kind of situation.

It’s just that director Xiao Gangpao didn’t want to participate, and Wang Sanshi wanted to make friends with Zhou Mo, so he accepted the task.

When the contract was signed, the little guy sitting next to him didn't look very happy.

"Director Zhou, thank you for your help with the publicity."

Zhou Mo smiled widely: "Okay, okay."

He likes the situation where others are unhappy with him but can't get rid of him, and finally have to ask him for help.

Keep the contract.

Zhou Mo said to Xiao Gangpao, "Director Feng, I see that you look a little pale. You must take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."

After these words were spoken, Xiao Gangpao's face became even darker.

Mr. Wang had no choice but to stand up and see Zhou Mo off.

After coming back, I found Xiao Gangpao still sitting in the chair sulking.

"Xiao Gang, why do you have to compete with him?"

The little steel cannon stuck out his neck and said, "I just can't accept it. Why do so many people scold me for adding ads, while that guy added just as many ads as I did in his movie, but he didn't get scolded at all."

Wang Sanshi thought to himself, how can you be the same as him?

What does he look like?
What do you look like?
People with good looks are born with privileges, and everyone in the world knows this.

Wang Sanshi is a beauty lover himself, he doesn't even need to bring the audience into the picture. Just from the perspective of an observer, one can guess what the audience's reaction will be when they see the two of them filming a movie.

But he is the boss after all, and he still has to take care of the emotions of his employees.

Put it another way: "After all, Zhou Mo controls a publicity channel and can shape his image. Moreover, I found that this guy is quite famous among young people. When it comes to advertising, a group of people will spontaneously cover for him."

Little Steel Cannon snorted coldly: "Young people don't know how to develop their skills. They just show up in public all day and do some weird tricks."

Obviously, Xiao Gangpao also realized something from the boss's tone, and his tone sounded a little sour.

Appearance is determined by nature. Is it my fault that I look like this?
And even if I look like this, wouldn’t my wife still be devoted to me?
Wang Sanshi said in a strange tone: "He really doesn't show up in public."

The little cannon raised his eyebrows.

"How to say?"

Wang Sanshi did not answer, but opened the website and found a video.

Click to play.

……

What are you waiting for, let's go.

I don't want to do that, I want to do the normal thing.

……

How did the joy disappear?
SpongeBob.

……

At the end of the song, Little Cannon frowned.

At the beginning of the video, when he saw the two cartoon characters, one yellow and one red, on the screen, he didn't take it seriously. But when the video ended, his expression became what it is now.

(.)
"He did this too?"

Wang Sanshi nodded and said, "He recently posted a video on the website. It has only been two days since it was posted, but it has already been played over a million times.

Thanks to "Killing Horse" and "Patriot Star", Zhou Mo has a very good reputation on the website. Both of his videos have received millions of views, which is why I asked him to help promote them."

Xiao Gangpao thought for a moment and said: "The dialogues in the two videos here are all taken from the original work. It's a slightly tricky way of doing things. The most important thing is the music. Without music, there wouldn't be such a good result."

Wang Sanshi: "The problem is that the music was also produced by Zhou Mo, and it's called Flower Dance. It received rave reviews as soon as it was released, and is now ranked eighth on the Penguin Music's pure music chart."

Feng Xiaogang: "He can also write songs? He couldn't have plagiarized them, did he?"

"Before we found any solid evidence, he was the one who wrote it." Wang Sanshi spread his hands.

The little cannon fell into deep thought.

……

As soon as Zhou Mo walked out of Huayi, he called Da Tiantian.

"Where are you?"

"We're almost there, don't worry."

There is one more thing I want to talk about this time.

Recording of the theme song of "Myth".

In the previous life, the theme song of the original version of the TV series "The Myth", "Star and Moon Myth", was written and sung by Jin Sha, the actor who played Lu Su.

In this life, there were problems during the filming of the original "Myth" and it collapsed midway.

Jinsha didn’t even have the chance to write a song before the crew disbanded.

In desperation, Zhou Mo could only look for songs on the market, but after searching for a while he still couldn't find any songs that satisfied him.

After 2010, the Chinese music scene has begun to show signs of a bleak future.

In desperation, Zhou Mo simply contacted Jin Sha and invited her to sing "Star Moon Mythology" again. This time, Zhou Mo wrote the lyrics and music.

But he didn't change anything and just followed the original version.

As soon as he got in the car, Zhou Mo felt his neck and waist clamped by a piece of soft jade.

"Tell me the truth, when did you learn how to write lyrics and compose music?"

Zhou Mo felt the tenderness on her skin, without any intention of struggling: "I always can do it."

Da Tiantian glared: "Then why didn't you tell me."

Zhou Mo was confused:
"You didn't ask either?"

Da Tiantian let go of Zhou Mo: "If I had known that you had such a great ability to compose music, I would have asked you to compose the music for several of my TV series."

Zhou Mo knew she was talking about "Dance of Flowers".

Two days ago, after "Paxing's Monologue" was broadcast, the girl kept saying it was a pity, thinking that Zhou Mo obviously had such a high level of musicality but did not tell her at the beginning.

I've been mumbling about this for the past two days.

Zhou Mo laughed and said, "I just had a flash of inspiration, it was purely luck. I might not have been able to write it if you had asked me to do it."

He is a member of his family who knows his own affairs.

The musical knowledge I have gained in this life was not given by the system, but was learned bit by bit.

Yes, but not much.

It's okay to reproduce some songs from the previous life by memory, but it's far from enough to create them.

But Da Tiantian disagreed: "I don't believe it. Isn't writing a song just a matter of clapping your hands and the song comes out?"

Zhou Mo was amused by her: "Where did you see such a statement?"

Da Tiantian: "Zhou Jie is stealing. The song "Dear, This Is Not Love" he wrote for Zhang Shaohan was not ten minutes long. Has he written a demo yet?"

Zhou Mo felt that this silly girl was not too silly. At least she knew what DEMO was.

Just not very smart.

"If I really had this level, the track of this novel would change, you know?"

The two quarreled all the way.

Halfway through, Da Tiantian suddenly sighed: "'Stars and Moon' is good, but it doesn't completely match the content of the TV series."

Zhou Mo thought to himself that it was true.

After all, "Stars and Moon" is the theme song of the original "Myth", which tells the love story between Yi Xiaochuan and Lu Su, but the protagonists of the new version of "Myth" are Zhao Kuo and Xu Yi.

It’s the same love, but the experiences are different.

It can be said that Zhao Kuo and Xu Yi lived happily for their entire lives, but they did not die together in the end. This is much better than the original version where Lu Su died in the eighth episode.

But Zhou Mo is very open-minded: "If it's not perfect, then it's not perfect. It's fine as long as it's almost perfect."

For him, saving money is the most important thing.

Songs are enough, why do we need a bicycle?

Da Tiantian retorted: "That's the theme song of the TV series."

Zhou Mo asked back, "Isn't it an industry practice that TV drama theme songs have nothing to do with the plot?"

He casually cited an example:
“Is there any connection between “The Legend of the Patriots” and “The Swordsman”?

"Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" is not written about Kangxi.

The theme song of "Justice Bao" is "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk."

Da Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "But the Chinese Paladin III that you shot fits the bill."

"That's the right time, right place, and right people." Zhou Mo gave Da Tiantian a daily science lesson: "Tiantian, whether the theme song fits the plot or not is always ranked behind being nice to listen to, and these two are ranked behind being popular. The ultimate function of the theme song is to attract traffic to the TV series. Any theme song that fails to achieve this effect is a failure for the TV series, no matter how nice it sounds."

Da Tiantian is curious: "How can a bad movie produce a divine song?"

"It's a good thing for the singer, but for the crew, it's just a waste of time."

“Then why are there still many crews promoting it like this?”

"Because they have no other choice. No one will watch the movie just by promoting the plot. It is better to promote a bad movie and make a divine song. At least it can attract some curious people to see how bad the movie is."

In the past, promoting bad movies even became a routine.

As soon as the crew saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, they immediately changed the direction of their publicity.

There is a company in Hollywood that specializes in imitating and shooting big-budget "bad movies" and releasing them before others.

In order to see how bad this movie is, the audience is actually willing to watch it.

After listening to this, Da Tiantian said, "That's too stupid. I definitely won't do that."

Zhou Mo: ...

He had never seen anyone so shameless.

　ps1: The original song of "Dance of Flowers" was registered in September 10.

　　This work takes a shortcut.

　　ps2: The reason why "The Myth" is said to have an eight-episode finale is that Lu Su died in the eighth episode.

　　I am still following the reading, monthly tickets, collections, recommendations and comments.

　　Also, Happy New Year to everyone.
