Chapter 16 Theme Song



After a day of rest, the two were called back to the company. There was no other way. Artists, especially idol artists, do not have that many works, so exposure is particularly important.

Otherwise, why would so many fans be able to accurately know the flight and arrival time of their idols, and then post the fan-favorite news online?

So many celebrities post airport photos whenever they have nothing to do. Do you think they're not tired of taking photos? Those aren't just casual street shots; they require makeup, lighting, and running around the airport with a team.

They are tired too, but for the sake of exposure and a beautiful final film, what else can they do?

There are also some stars who, even if the award ceremony has nothing to do with them and none of their works are nominated, still dress up beautifully and walk the red carpet like a queen. What is the purpose?

Even more outrageous are those who, when faced with problems, claim how much they have donated in order to gain public recognition, only to be later exposed as fraudulent donations.

To put it bluntly, the life of an idol star is so simple and unpretentious.

Stars like Yan Zi, who stay on the set for three months while filming a drama and only post an update on WeChat Moments once, are almost extinct. Now Yan Zi's online popularity has disappeared from the rankings.

That's why Sister Chen called the two back. After all, when the movie is released, you have to promote it. If you don't have popularity, who will know you?

"How was the movie yesterday? Was it good?" Sister Chen asked when she saw the two of them come in.

"It's not very good. Hey, Sister Chen, how did you know we were going to the movies? Did you follow us?"

Sister Chen rolled her eyes at Yan Zi. "Didn't Feng Xiaoyun post on WeChat Moments yesterday complaining about not being allowed to bring milk tea? The hand holding his in the photo isn't yours?"

"Ah~haha~hahaha~" Yan Zi smiled embarrassedly and quickly changed the subject: "Sister Chen, what are you planning to do by calling us here today?"

"Director Guo said that the film is already being edited, and once it passes the review, it will be ready for promotion. He asked if you could sing the theme song?"

Now when a film project is launched, it must be reported to the Film Bureau and the script must be submitted at that time. The Film Bureau will only allow you to start filming if they think there is no problem with your script.

So after a movie is finished, as long as it doesn't deviate too much from your script, it will pass the review in two or three working days. At that time, a rating approval document will be issued, and the film company can then look for theaters and do publicity on its own.

"Have you written a song?" When Yan Zi was asked to sing, the first person she thought of was Feng Xiaoyun. After all, he was now a recognized new talent in the songwriting circle.

"I've written it!" Feng Xiaoyun was naturally prepared long ago and took out his mobile phone to operate it.

"I've sent you the lyrics and music, and I've also recorded a demo for you to listen to."

Sister Chen connected her phone to the speaker and pressed the play button.

The prelude is a fast guitar sound, which seems very urgent.

Then comes Feng Xiaoyun's singing:

Step on the accelerator and start the engine

Let's chase the wind together

Throw away the mask

Show a genuine smile

As the wheels turn

Forget all failures and successes

The fastest person is the most glorious

The roar of the engine is the greatest praise

I just want it to be faster

Almost breaking through this time and space

My direction is in my hands

I'm chasing the wind like an arrow

I am not afraid of any challenge

I'm chasing the wind like lightning

Rushing forward without looking back

I am chasing the wind like light

Put aside all the heaviness

After listening to it, Sister Chen and Yan Zi looked at each other and said, "This is a fast song..."

"That's right," Feng Xiaoyun nodded, looking at Yan Zi and said, "Since Yan Zi debuted, she has always sung slow songs. This fast song can be considered a personal breakthrough. After all, being stereotyped by fans too early is not a good thing."

Sister Chen and Yan Zi nodded. Once someone is stereotyped, it will take more effort to transform them.

"Also, this movie is originally a positive and passionate youth film, so I wrote the theme song to be more exciting so that it fits the movie better."

Feng Xiaoyun analyzed: "When the movie trailer is released, it will definitely show exciting scenes. A fast-paced song like this will definitely have a better effect than a slow song."

"Yes, Yan Zi." Sister Chen also quite agreed with Feng Xiaoyun's idea: "I suggest you shoot a music video as soon as possible, cooperate with Director Guo to edit some shots, and then promote it simultaneously."

"By the way, how are you at dancing?" Sister Chen asked. The information about Yan Zi said that she had a basic dancing skill, but she had never danced since her debut.

"Well, I've been practicing the basics. As long as the moves aren't extremely difficult, I should be able to do them."

"Okay, then I'll hire a choreographer to choreograph for you." Sister Chen nodded.

"That!" Feng Xiaoyun raised her hand: "Actually, I can choreograph too!"

"You can?" Both of them looked at Feng Xiaoyun in surprise.

"I'm studying modern music in Weiner. Is it strange that I can choreograph?" Feng Xiaoyun said innocently.

"Then why didn't you say it?"

"You didn't even ask!"

"Okay, you two, stop flirting in front of me!" Sister Chen pointed a finger at each of their foreheads.

"Hehe, actually, we don't recommend Sister Chen and Brother Cao flirting in front of us."

"Get lost!" Even though Sister Chen was such a mature woman, she was embarrassed and angry when she was teased like that, so she picked up the documents on the table and wanted to hit Feng Xiaoyun.

Feng Xiaoyun and Yan Zi quickly ran away.

The first thing is to record songs. Now no one in the company dares to make things difficult for Yan Zi. After all, she won the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Disc Awards in her first year of debut last year. Right after the New Year, she participated in a big-budget movie with an investment of 200 million yuan. She didn't play a supporting role but was definitely the leading female role.

So anyone with a discerning eye can see that, unless anything unexpected happens, Yan Zi's star journey will be smooth sailing. Didn't you see that announcing a relationship, which is the most taboo for female stars, actually has no effect on Yan Zi's popularity?

I found a recording studio. This song is not difficult, except that the tempo is a bit fast and the breath requirements are a bit higher, but Yan Zi can handle these problems very well.

Moreover, after three months of shooting a movie about racing, Yan Zi still had a lot of feelings in her heart. She could also understand the desire for speed very well, so she practiced this song for a whole morning, and after lunch she only took one take and recorded it in one go.

"How is it? Awesome, right?" Yan Zi recorded the song in just one take without even realizing it. He came out and picked up his headphones to listen to it himself, not forgetting to show off to Feng Xiaoyun.

"Great, but are you ready to accept the training from the devilish dance coach Mr. Feng Xiaoyun?"

"Hmph, come on over here and let me see your choreography. If it's too ugly, I won't dance."
