"With sword drawn, I'll see who falls."

"The dialogue between love and hate leaves its mark on history."

"Who stands gracefully amidst a hail of arrows?"

The deafening song from the stereo gradually came to an end.

The people present at this moment are not only the main creators of the film "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Even many crew members from the filming crews of period dramas or historical dramas next door.

Hearing the commotion on director Zhang Mou's set, they all rushed over.

Among them is director Chen Ge, who is currently filming the Republican-era film "Mei Zhi Fang".

They learned that the song being played was the theme song that Wang Yueheng wrote in just two days.

Director Chen Ge also looked astonished.

He had just learned last night that Wang Yueheng was challenging South Korean singer Moo Chi.

I was deeply moved.

This is exactly a scene from his new movie, "Mei Zhifang".

Mei Zhifang, a young Peking Opera master, was exceptionally talented.

This touched upon the status of the domineering and arrogant veteran artist, Thirteen Yan.

In order to defend his status in traditional Chinese performing arts, Shisan Yan chose to challenge Mei Zhifang to a duel.

The loser will be permanently removed from the Peking Opera world and will be forbidden from "dirtying the costumes".

Mei Zhifang, who was initially behind, changed her play on the spot and defeated the proud and aloof old artist Shisan Yan in one fell swoop.

This is remarkably similar to Wang Yueheng's current situation.

A song titled "Nocturne," which subverts the usual pop music style, is currently causing South Korean singer Mooji to suffer a series of defeats.

Another song, "Flammable and Explosive," also composed by Wang Yueheng, has made a comeback, once again putting pressure on Wu Chi.

A South Korean singer won a Chinese music award for an English song.

He rose to the top of the Chinese music scene as a rap prince, using foreign languages.

If Wang Yueheng hadn't stood up, this immense humiliation might have remained a laughingstock for much longer.

"What a pity... My 'Mei Zhifang' is a period drama and also follows the traditional opera route."

"Otherwise, I'll try to get him to write a theme song for me."

Listening to Wang Yueheng's menacing singing voice coming from the speakers, Director Chen Ge said with deep regret.

"Not necessarily, maybe this child can sing opera too."

Upon hearing this, director Zhang Mou laughed and joked.

"It just so happens that the movie 'The Great Wall' is about to start its nationwide promotional tour, and I plan to choose Jiang City as the first stop so I can meet this young man."

"If you want him to help you write a song, I'll ask him for you later."

I can't guarantee whether it will work out or not.

After listening to the theme song that satisfied him, Director Zhang Mou said to Director Chen Ge in a great mood.

"Hey, there's no such thing as a genius in this world."

"No matter how good songs like 'Nocturne' and 'Curse of the Golden Flower' are, they are still in the realm of pop music, which is too different from the style of my movies."

"If I were to direct another Guo Jingming film in the future, I might consider asking him to write a love song theme song."

Upon hearing Director Zhang Mou's suggestion, Director Chen Ge shook his head with a wry smile.

It's not that he doesn't trust Wang Yueheng's talent.

However, even the greatest talent has its limits.

It's like asking Guo Jingming to write a book, but not a work like "To Live".

Even if I could write it...

"Just ask for me casually when the time comes. I won't force you, and I can't force you anyway."

With a heart full of emotions, director Chen Ge left the set of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

I don't have high hopes that Wang Yueheng can write a song for his Republican-era masterpiece "Mei Zhifang".

Director Zhang Mou then had his assistant call another composer.

"Old Zhou, I'm sorry, I've found a suitable theme song for 'Curse of the Golden Flower,' so you won't have to bother anymore."

Director Zhang Mou said with a smile on the phone.

The man referred to as Lao Zhou is named Zhou Chuan, and he can be considered director Zhang Mou's go-to composer.

Whether it was "House of Flying Daggers" or "Hero".

Most of the interludes and theme songs were composed by this top musician.

"No way, Director Zhang, you didn't just find a ready-made song online, did you?"

Upon hearing this, composer Zhou Chuan on the other end of the phone immediately asked in surprise.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "Has Director Zhang taken the wrong medicine?"

This is a theatrical film with an investment of 300 million yuan, how could the theme song be chosen so perfunctorily?
