Wang Yueheng then asked a question.

Not yet…

Just as Zheng Jianjia was about to speak up in denial, he was interrupted by the curator, Zhan Chongdao.

"One of them has already been completed and handed over to me."

"It is a song composed by Zhou Shaoying and sung by Liu Huan, called 'Calling'."

Curator Zhan Chongdao spoke frankly to Wang Yueheng.

As he spoke, he also watched Wang Yueheng's reaction.

After all, Zhou Shaoying is a well-known composer in the Chinese music scene, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a national-level composer.

Singer Liu Huan goes without saying.

A top-tier pop singer in China, the singer of the opening ceremony song for the Kyoto Olympics, and a recipient of numerous top music awards in the country...

If it weren't for the museum director Zhan Chongdao's insistence on inviting Wang Yueheng to join in creating a promotional song for the Palace Museum despite opposition, it would have been a great success.

It's likely that the theme song for this promotion has already been decided.

In fact.

Zhan Chongdao knew it.

It wasn't just Zheng Jianjia, the head of the publicity department.

Even the leaders of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the higher-level supervisory unit.

They also prefer well-known veteran singers like Liu Huan to perform for the Palace Museum.

"Oh, right, Professor Liu Huan's work has been brought over."

Zheng Jianjia glanced at the curator, Zhan Chongdao, and admitted it helplessly.

As a member of the management team, he believed that Wang Yueheng did not need to know these inside information.

But to everyone's surprise, the curator, Zhan Chongdao, valued Wang Yueheng so highly.

Tell him even these things.

"It's Senior Zhou Shaoying again..."

"This time, we've also added Professor Liu Huan..."

Upon hearing these two names, Wang Yueheng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

I never expected that I would be challenging this senior in the music industry at the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games.

This time, they inadvertently came together again to create a promotional song for the Palace Museum.

I wonder if this veteran musician will be upset and lose his temper when he finds out.

"What, are you very familiar with Teacher Zhou Shaoying? Or..."

I saw Wang Yueheng with a conflicted expression.

Zhan Chongdao mistakenly believed that Wang Yueheng had some kind of relationship with the other party.

"I don't know him personally, but I've heard of Teacher Zhou Shaoying's reputation."

Wang Yueheng regained his composure and casually explained.

"This is the sheet music for this song. Please take a look, leaders."

He then took the prepared sheet music from Mo Zixue and handed it to the other three people.

Now that the song has been redeemed.

She will sing on the show sooner or later.

Wang Yueheng doesn't mind if the other party sees his new song in advance.

But this time, if the other party ultimately chooses their own song.

The cost will no longer be as low as the previous 500,000.

If you want to use it, then use it.

No need, it doesn't matter.

"Thank you, I still have high hopes for you!"

After receiving the sheet music from Wang Yueheng.

Qi Xingguo, curator of the ceramics museum, gently encouraged Wang Yueheng.

With masterpieces like "Blue and White Porcelain" preceding him, he still has full confidence in Wang Yueheng.

If Wang Yueheng can produce works that are on par with those of Zhou Shaoying and others.

It's not impossible for them to compete with or even replace each other.

However, Zheng Jianjia may be the biggest variable.

"Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales? Is that the song title?...

When Zheng Jianjia, who was holding the sheet music, saw the song title, a slight look of surprise appeared on his face.

Dragon Kingdom, Dragon Scales...

There seems to be some hidden meaning in the title.

I noticed that Wang Yueheng's name was listed in the "lyricist and composer" section of the sheet music.

Zheng Jianjia narrowed his eyes slightly and paused in surprise.

He had occasionally listened to some of Wang Yueheng's songs, but hadn't paid much attention to them.

I never expected him to be such a multi-talented young artist.

No wonder the old curator values ​​this young singer so much.

"well!"

"The lyrics are magnificent and grand; it's clear that only a person with great talent could write such a work!"

While looking at the lyrics.

Curator Zhan Chongdao praised it repeatedly.

A genuine smile of satisfaction spread across his face.

Compared to the song "Calling," composed by Zhou Shaoying, with lyrics by Cen Rongtao and sung by Liu Huan.

Wang Yueheng's song, tailor-made for the Palace Museum, is clearly more in line with the actual needs of publicity.

With the theme of "Descendants of the Dragon" and the background of Chinese civilization, the book uses the description of the Forbidden City to illustrate the historical inheritance and continuation of the Chinese nation.

It can be described as having lofty ambitions and soaring spirit!

Although I am not a professional musician and cannot read sheet music.

But the lyrics alone were enough to make Zhan Chongdao love it.

Every word and phrase filled him with awe and pride for the Forbidden City.

"Did you really write all of these lyrics and arrange the music by yourself?"

"Or is it your studio's team?"

"Copyright issues are very important; this point must be clarified."

His gaze swept over the sheet music in his hand, and Zheng Jianjia asked again with a question.

It's unbelievable that such a grand and majestic song could have been produced by Wang Yueheng all by himself.

At the very least, there must be a collaborator.

Even a national-level composer like Zhou Shaoying needs to find someone to help with the arrangement.

"Yes, from the concept to the lyrics to the composition and arrangement, everything was done independently by me."

"This song has already been registered for copyright, so there is no issue with it."

"Director Zheng can check with the copyright department at any time."

Wang Yueheng looked at the other person and answered in the same unquestionable tone.

"Could you sing a couple of lines a cappella?"

"I'd like to hear how well you sing live."

Zheng Jianjia looked down at the lyrics again for a while, then looked up and asked.

"I'm sorry, Director Zheng, my throat isn't feeling too good today. I'll be singing this song on the competition stage the day after tomorrow."

"I can send you the live recording at that time."

Wang Yueheng declined tactfully.

If it were Director Zhan Chongdao who invited him personally, Wang Yueheng would probably sing a song on the spot.

But since this head of the publicity department insisted on putting on airs and talking to me like that.

Wang Yueheng simply didn't tolerate the other party's behavior.

Anyway, I'm not this department head's subordinate.

If you want to hear live music, then go watch the game.

"Alright then... as a singer, you still need to protect your voice..."

Zheng Jianjia was stunned, not expecting Wang Yueheng to refuse his request for a trial on the spot.

But upon closer reflection, it seems I don't really have any way to control this singer.

Although it was said to be a song written for the Forbidden City.

However, it was the curator who took the initiative to invite the other party to write it.

Instead of Wang Yueheng himself eagerly wanting to write songs for the museum.

Even if I manage to get Wang Yueheng's new song blocked in the end, I won't promote it through official channels.

There was no loss for Wang Yueheng either.

But if the other party's song "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" becomes a hit.

If the Palace Museum then uses "Calling" as its official promotional song, the public will probably laugh their heads off.

In a short time.

Even Zheng Jianjia, who was never afraid of the curator, was speechless.

I don't know how to continue the conversation.

Should we reject Wang Yueheng's "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" on the spot?
