The assistant director, exasperated, took a breath and continued, "Why does she take on roles so quickly? Doesn't she leave herself even a moment to breathe?"
"She's playing tricks on me. She doesn't know that the film crew next door started shooting a month in advance. She must have only recently taken on that role."
"She must have thought I didn't care about actors taking on multiple projects at once. She figured every director does it, right?" Director Wei said unhappily.
Tao Mimi didn't understand these things very well, so she could only say, "Then can we look at the background music now?"
When Tao Mimi mentioned the background music, Director Wei's angry expression froze.
He still remembered what Producer Qian said: Xu Yanyu was just there to make a brief appearance.
He hadn't figured out how to refuse Xu Yanyu's request for background music without affecting her filming.
He looked towards the door with a headache, wishing someone else would come and pull him away.
Xu Yanyu added, "Director Wei, I prepared quite a few songs beforehand, and I've already turned on my computer."
"How about I play some for you first, and you can see if the songs I prepared meet your requirements. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let me know."
Xu Yanyu picked up the laptop that was placed to the side, not giving Director Wei a chance to refuse.
Director Wei sighed; there was no escaping it.
However, he couldn't possibly want all of Xu Yanyu's songs. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I'm only missing two songs right now. One is an instrumental accompaniment, to be used... to be used when Liu Jing and Yong Li meet."
"Hmm... let's play another song that we used when Eternal Destruction failed."
Director Wei dared not entrust the two important songs, the opening theme and the closing theme, to Xu Yanyu.
After thinking about it, he decided to let Xu Yanyu handle the songs for the secondary couple and the insert songs.
Xu Yanyu paused for a moment while typing, and then she knew what was going on.
She smiled and said, "Okay!"
After Xu Yanyu finished speaking, she closed the folder she had just opened and opened another folder.
Fortunately, she was prepared and wasn't worried about not being able to come up with any other songs.
The assistant director looked at Director Wei, knowing what he was thinking.
This clearly shows a lack of trust in Xu Yanyu.
He knew perfectly well that the theme song and ending theme song were still undecided.
Director Wei glared at him, telling him to shut up.
Tao Mimi was unaware of the connection. She sat up straight and looked at Xu Yanyu excitedly, "I also want to hear what music you've prepared."
Xu Yanyu nodded and began swiping down the touchscreen on her laptop.
Finally, she clicked on the sixty-third song in the folder—"Peach Blossom Island".
As the music began, it was like the first rays of sunlight piercing through the thin mist at dawn and gently caressing the earth.
The melodious singing created a delicate yet somewhat distant atmosphere.
Tao Mimi watched the computer screen with great interest, thinking the beginning was pretty good.
Director Wei loosened his grip on the water glass.
He tilted his head slightly, bringing his ear closer to the computer screen.
This song is kind of interesting!
This soundtrack doesn't sound like the ones he'd received before; those soundtracks were rather small-scale.
The background music that Xu Yanyu is playing now carries a sense of desolation and sadness...
If this were placed in the context of Yongli and Liu Jingchu's acquaintance, it would feel like a premonition of their unfortunate destiny.
For Yongli, Liu Jing's appearance was like the first ray of light at dawn, gentle and pure.
As the guzheng began to play, the flute responded, making the music more vigorous and grand, before gradually easing down.
The gentle strumming of the guzheng strings is like the babbling of a stream, meandering through the forest, carrying a subtle sense of freshness and joy.
Yes, that's the kind of secret joy.
Just like Yongli's feelings all along, that secret fondness should be joyful and delightful.
As the music deepens, the addition of drums and pipa gradually enriches the rhythm and creates distinct layers, like a spring breeze caressing your face and flowers fluttering in the air.
Petals swirled and fell in the air, creating a dreamy yet slightly melancholic atmosphere.
This expresses a feeling of regret.
Finally, the climax has arrived.
Director Wei slammed his hand on the table and stood up. He shouted, "Yan Yu, turn the volume up a bit, rewind to the previous part, and play it again!"
"No! Let me hear the rest!" Tao Mimi stopped her.
This is the best part!
Then the music suddenly stopped!
Everyone looked at Xu Yanyu.
Director Wei asked, "I told you to turn up the volume, not to turn the music off."
The assistant director kept his head down and didn't say a word.
Xu Yanyu looked at them and explained, "This background music has ended."
"Is it over?" Tao Mimi said with a sigh.
Director Wei asked incredulously, "The climax only lasts a few minutes? And it's over already?"
"Because it was originally a song with a sense of regret."
After Xu Yanyu finished speaking, she sat quietly.
No matter how many times she listens to it, the soundtrack of the Legend of Sword and Fairy always gives her a feeling of heart palpitations.
She will always be moved by the joys and sorrows, love and hate in the Legend of Sword and Fairy.
Tao Mimi then said, "This piece of music is so great, so amazing! My script is not worthy of it."
Yes, Tao Mimi thinks the idea behind the piece that Xu Yanyu presented is absolutely brilliant.
The music expresses something far more sublime than her script.
She heard in the music the unrequited love, the grand ambition to protect all living beings, and the entanglement of fate...
She suddenly stood up, pulled out her script, and said to Director Wei, "The scenes for the character Liu Jing must be changed!"
