Guo Zongming was a good person in every way, but in Li Changle's eyes, he was too polite. He always treated her with such respect that she was not used to it. "Director Guo is too polite. I'm just a novelist. There are many good stories, but not many good directors. The success of "Chinese Paladin" depends on Director Guo. From what I've seen so far, I think the final result will be great."
"Hey, I'll take your kind words at your service."
"Oh, by the way, Director Guo, besides coming here to see the world, we also recorded a song for the TV series Chinese Paladin. What do you think?"
Li Changle said at the time that he could make a complete version of the soundtrack for the film and television version of The Legend of Sword and Fairy, including the background music, theme songs, interludes, etc. Guo Zongming still remembers this.
Guo Zongming laughed heartily, then said with some delight: "You are the author, or the songwriter, you have the final say!"
Guo Zongming never expected that the TV series had not even started filming, and Li Changle had already prepared the interlude for him. This was incredibly efficient.
Afterwards, Guo Zongming and the person next to him found a pair of headphones. After listening to the song once, which was very quiet, he was silent for a while, and then listened to it again. Guo Zongming originally wanted to listen to it again, but when he thought of the two people next to him, he felt a little unsatisfied.
Guo Zongming had long known that Li Changle was a musician, and now he had finally witnessed Li Changle's composing ability. Needless to say, a thumbs up said it all.
Guo Zongming studied the plot of the novel The Legend of Sword and Fairy seriously. After all, he was going to shoot this drama, so he had to understand every character and plot thoroughly, so he knew even more that this song was not simple.
This is a song specially created in combination with the plot. Originally, Guo Zongming thought that Li Changle was a very talented young man in his mind, but now it seems that he underestimated him.
Guo Zongming rubbed his temples, then slowly said, "This song is really well written and sung. It should be written from Lin Yueru's perspective. Not bad, really good. With such an interlude, it will make many audiences cry."
Li Changle smiled slightly. Mr. Guo's reaction was within his expectations. He listened to this song in conjunction with the plot of The Legend of Sword and Fairy in his mind. He always felt it was a classic no matter when he listened to it, let alone when it was the first time he heard Guo Zongming's song.
Li Changle continued, "In addition to this song, I'm planning to write a few more songs to be used as interludes and theme songs for the show. I'm just not sure if the main actors have singing skills. If they do, that would be great, as it would give them a bit more popularity. If not, I'll have to go out and find singers who are more suitable to sing these songs..."
Guo Zongming was overjoyed when he heard what Li Changle said. He said excitedly, "Huh? There's more than one interlude, right? There will definitely be a theme song and an ending song. I'll go ask those kids if they can sing first. I'd also prefer them to sing, but since you're the one writing the lyrics and composing the music, I think they'll immediately go learn to sing even if they can't. I don't know if it's too late.
After all, Li Xiaoyao is a well-known figure in the industry. Every song he writes becomes a hit. Apart from writing songs for Wang Wanjun, no one else has ever had the opportunity to sing a song written by you. This is a great honor for them, haha..."
Wang Siyi next to them smiled a little embarrassedly, and these words seemed more like a teasing to the two of them.
"It would be best if the lead actor could sing. It would save a lot of money. After all, hiring a singer to sing is quite expensive these days. We should invest more of that money into the special effects for Chinese Paladin..."
For Li Changle, if there is any regret about The Chinese Paladin, it is that the conditions at that time were indeed limited, so when he rewatched the scenes and special effects produced in the TV series after growing up, he would inevitably feel a sense of disharmony.
However, if we were to reshoot the film in this world, we wouldn't have this regret. Penguin Pictures and the Chinese website gave us a generous budget, and the main actors in the crew are all newcomers. Their pay is almost negligible, and the remaining money will naturally be used for high-quality special effects.
"Chinese Paladin" is a fairy tale drama, so if the scenes and special effects are a little bit bad, the audience experience will be very bad. Therefore, Li Changle also attaches great importance to this issue and has repeatedly emphasized to Guo Zongming: Penguin Dad and Chinese Network Dad are both very rich, don't worry about insufficient budget, the fighting scenes and special effects scenes of the TV series must be fully utilized.
Guo Zongming naturally understood this. He had been filming for so many years, and cheap special effects were absolutely unacceptable to him. If the investors were unwilling to give him the budget, he would rather not film it.
Guo Zongming looked at the time and felt that it was almost time to start filming the first scene of the TV series, so he greeted Li Changle and indicated that he was going to get busy. Li Changle didn't care and pulled Wang Siyi to follow Guo Zongming, intending to see how this TV series was filmed.
In fact, Li Changle was a little disappointed. This TV series was a bit boring during filming. A shot might have to be repeated several times or even dozens of times. Both Li Changle and Wang Siyi found it a bit boring.
I looked at the time and it seemed like it was almost time. If I was any later, I probably wouldn't be able to get back to Shanghai. I said hello to Guo Zongming and asked him to keep an eye out for actors with singing skills. Then I said goodbye and left.
After finishing the one-day trip with the crew, Li Changle and Wang Siyi were sitting in the car, speeding on the highway. Hengzhen is quite far from Shanghai, a three-hour drive, and they both had to hurry back to Shanghai before dark.
