You Were Told to Write Songs, Not Dominate Sinology Masters?

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...

Chapter 843 Paying Tribute to the Emperor of a Thousand Years, "Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" (2/2)

Soon, hundreds of cups of hot milk tea were delivered to the set by the film crew's vehicles.

The assistant director and others personally distributed the items on site.

"Thank you, Director, thank you, Producer Su!"

Almost everyone who receives a milk tea says thank you happily.

The actors and crew, who had just finished filming this nighttime scene, were holding steaming hot milk tea and sipping through straws.

Everyone had an expression of enjoyment on their face.

Even Gao Siqin, the 70-year-old lead actress who doesn't usually like desserts, was swept up in the atmosphere.

She couldn't resist taking the milk tea cup from her assistant, taking a couple of sips, and exclaiming repeatedly, "So sweet!"

"Buzzing~"

Just then.

Producer Su Su, who was enjoying the scene of everyone drinking milk tea, suddenly received a message from Wang Yueheng on her phone.

Wang Yueheng: "Producer Su, the new song I wrote for your production team has been sent to the email address you provided. Please listen to it when you have time."

"ah?"

"No way..."

Producer Su Su stared wide-eyed at the line of text on her phone screen, thinking she had misread it.

I hurriedly read it over again, word by word.

Only then did I realize that Wang Yueheng had indeed sent over the new song he wrote for his film crew!

"Sister Su, what's wrong?"

Qi Wenzhu, the stagehand who had just been distributing milk tea, saw Su Su's startled expression and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

I thought someone was going to cause trouble on set again.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing..."

Su Su hurriedly waved her hand, then quickly turned around and found a secluded corner to check her email on her phone.

As expected.

An audio email titled "Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" is quietly sitting in my work email list.

The sender was Wang Yueheng, whom I had just contacted that afternoon.

And less than eight hours have passed since I contacted the other party.

This does not include the time spent by the other party and screenwriter Hu Xinjian discussing the script.

In other words, the entire creation process only took five or six hours.

Wang Yueheng actually wrote the new song he needed!

"Can a song written in such a short time really compare to 'Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty'...?"

After a period of silent discussion.

Just as producer Su Su was about to take out Bluetooth earphones from her bag.

Turning my head, I saw the crew and extras drinking milk tea and chatting happily on set.

Just as she was about to listen to music alone, a strange idea suddenly popped into her head.

It might be better to do it when no one is on guard.

Let the crew listen to this song together.

Let's see what everyone's first reaction is to this song.

Perhaps then we'll know whether Wang Yueheng's new song, which he created quickly in a short period of time, is suitable for this new drama.

After all, the actors and crew who are fully committed to filming every day know this new movie even better than I do!

Moreover, everyone present signed a confidentiality agreement, and the entire venue was covered by video surveillance.

There's no need to worry about anyone daring to leak this song without permission.

"Stage Manager Qi, could you come here for a moment? Could you please find me a speaker, preferably one that can connect via Bluetooth?"

"The sound power doesn't need to be too high, just enough to cover this palace..."

"Tell the people who have finished their milk tea not to leave yet, and say there are other surprises in store!"

Then Su Su hurriedly gave instructions to Qi Wenzhu, the stage manager.

"Okay, Producer Su, I'll get on it right away!"

Upon hearing that the producer had skipped the director and assigned him work directly, the tall production assistant hurriedly responded.

Soon, a speaker was dragged into the main hall without anyone's knowledge.

After connecting the power supply.

Su Su picked up her phone again, searched for the speaker with Bluetooth functionality, and clicked to connect.

Bluetooth connected!

The sudden sound of a notification tone startled the lead actors and staff who were enjoying their milk tea on set.

Everyone stared at the suddenly appearing speaker, bewildered and puzzled.

"What's going on? Are we going to have a clubbing session on set after drinking bubble tea?"

"Are they going to play some songs for us to cultivate our minds and relax our tired bodies?"

"As long as it's not a sudden overtime filming session..."

The crew members were all startled by the sudden sound of the speakers, and they all wondered what the production assistants were up to now.

"Om-long~"

Before anyone could react...

Immediately afterwards, a grand and majestic piece of music suddenly came from the speakers.

The majestic sounds of musical instruments and the chorus of male and female singers instantly filled the entire antique-style Golden Palace.

The lead actors, Chen Daobai and Gao Siqin, who were chatting and laughing, also stopped talking and turned their heads to look curiously in the direction of the speakers.

I didn't understand what had happened for a moment.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

"Whose song is this? The intro is so catchy!"

"It sounds like the song Producer Su played on his phone?"

Instantly, all the crew members and extras in the entire hall looked up curiously, forgetting even to drink their milk tea.

After a powerful and resounding prelude...

The music suddenly became soothing again.

Immediately.

A song, filled with a sense of vicissitude yet somehow familiar, reached everyone's ears...

...

"Following the gentle curves of the undulating landscape"

"Let love flow freely in the Central Plains, the North, and the South of the Yangtze River..."

It was just the first two lines of the song.

This silenced all the chatter from the actors and staff.

Everyone's face showed a blank or surprised expression as they stared blankly at the black speaker playing music.

The thoughts that had been drifting away after work gradually returned to the scenes in the play, accompanied by the music.

"Facing the wind and rain, the ice skates and snow swords, a loving companionship."

"Cherish the golden years that Heaven has bestowed upon me..."

The veteran actor Chen Daobai, who plays Emperor Kangxi, also resumed his stern expression the moment he heard the music.

Dressed in a yellow robe, he stood still, composed and listening intently.

It was as if a real emperor was standing quietly in the palace.

...

"A person of integrity and courage has nothing to fear in the face of hardship."

"Our passion remains unchanged, year after year..."

As a producer, Su Su listened to music while carefully holding up her phone.

It seemed as if it was afraid that even the slightest movement would disconnect the Bluetooth connection and interrupt its music playback.

At the same time, she also kept an eye on the expressions and reactions of the people around her.

Seeing everyone's increasingly captivated expressions as they listened to the song, even forgetting to drink their milk tea, I was amazed.

The producer's expression grew increasingly excited.

What defines a truly talented singer?

That's what you call a truly talented singer!

The song, written in just a few hours, captivated the lead actor and the entire crew...
