Actor Wang Yueheng transmigrates as a street singer participating in a talent show. His on-the-spot creation of "The Lone Brave" ignites the entire internet, helping him rise from a grassro...
Even Chen Daobai, the lead actor who plays Emperor Kangxi, is very optimistic about this song.
They specifically suggested that the production team quickly buy the copyright to Wang Yueheng's new song.
Unexpectedly, someone else beat me to it so quickly.
"I asked, and they said they needed to keep it confidential for the client..."
"Besides, we didn't tell anyone our crew's name in order to keep it a secret, did we?"
Director Chen Jiayin sighed helplessly.
"What? The song was sold?"
"Didn't he just write it?"
At this moment, the male lead actor, Chen Daobai, also walked over.
He, still dressed in a yellow dragon robe costume, also showed surprise upon hearing the news.
Are Wang Yueheng's songs really that popular?
Our production team was less than two hours late in asking, and someone else snatched it away?!
Prior to this.
Chen Daobai, a veteran actor in China's film and television industry, also received an invitation to star in the costume fantasy drama "Joy of Life," based on the original novel by screenwriter Wang Yueheng.
However, he was busy filming "Kangxi Dynasty," a major production to kick off the new year.
So Chen Daobai didn't even read the script and directly turned down the invitation from the "Joy of Life" production team.
It is said that he was later replaced by another actor, Fu Long, who is known for playing emperors.
"How about we invite Mr. Wang Yueheng to write a theme song for the new drama?"
"It might be a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth the money!"
Director Chen Jiayin tentatively asked producer Su Su.
He knew that this female producer had an extraordinary background and countless investment resources at her disposal, so she didn't care about spending money on buying songs.
"Money isn't the issue; the issue is whether he can still write songs like this."
"I feel it will be very difficult to surpass that."
"And even if we hadn't secretly asked someone last time, we still got stuck with Wang Yueheng's agent."
Producer Su Su frowned as she spoke.
Wang Yueheng has written many songs since his debut.
But it seems that there is only one song like "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty" that is so magnificent, awe-inspiring, and connected to the history of the Chinese nation.
It's likely that even he himself would find it difficult to write a better song than this.
Even if you write a similar song, it will probably feel like a copy of the previous one.
Su Suning doesn't want works that merely parrot others.
"Well, we didn't tell his agent the name of our film or TV show. If he knew we were writing a song for CCTV's opening drama of the year, I think he would have agreed."
Director Chen Jiayin said speechlessly.
In order to bring as many surprises as possible to the audience and to prevent acquaintances from trying to squeeze actors into the production team to gain fame.
At the strong insistence of producer Su Su, no publicity ceremony was held for "Kangxi Dynasty" from the start of filming to the start of production.
In addition, every member of the production crew must sign a confidentiality agreement.
Apart from a very few acquaintances who were close to producer Su Su.
Almost all celebrities in the industry are unaware that such a historical epic is being filmed.
Even the screenwriter, Hu Xinjian, doesn't know where the show is currently being filmed. He's just revising the script remotely according to the director's requirements, like he's doing underground work.
This level of secrecy is truly unparalleled.
"How about... we give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Su Su hesitated.
But I'm also worried that what if Wang Yueheng writes a song and I don't like it or don't want it?
Are we just going to be ripped off and buy it without ever using it?
If someone writes that they won't buy it, or if they buy it but don't use it, wouldn't they offend this talented singer?
How can we collaborate again if they have any good songs in the future...?
"Lingling~"
Just as Su Su hesitated, her cell phone suddenly rang.
When I picked it up, I was surprised to see that it was a call from my best friend, Qiao Yingying, who is also a screenwriter.
