Gu Mo accepted the big order to compose the promotional song for Ren Ya's new drama, so naturally he had to understand its plot.
Not to mention that the song has to be completely consistent with the plot, but it can't stray too far from the topic, right?
For example, if you make a movie called "A Night of Full Moon and Flowers", the effect will only be counterproductive!
"Before the collaboration, I wanted to understand the general plot of 'Women at 30'.
Before, I only knew it was about a 30-year-old woman who successfully started a business after her divorce.”
"That's certainly no problem." Vice President Yuan Qing took over.
After all, as the boss, Ren Ya is not in a position to ask such questions.
My ex-husband is sitting here. What if I get misunderstood?
Next, Yuan Qing began to introduce.
"The female lead is Li Hui, and she met the male lead Tao Ci at the same company.
Tao Ci is the supervisor, and Li Hui has work-related contact with him.
As time went by, the two fell in love.
Because the company did not allow office romances, Li Hui resigned for love and married Tao Ci.
When Gu Mo heard this, he knew the general direction of the drama.
It's nothing more than a sweet period at first, and then the male protagonist will definitely cause trouble. Most of the plot in the middle is depressing and sad.
In the end, the heroine became independent and successful in starting her own business.
The plot is a bit old-fashioned.
If the screenwriter hadn't forced a happy ending, it would have been a watchable film.
Times have changed. The happy ending routine has been used too much and young audiences don’t buy it anymore.
It’s true that the heroine successfully started a business after her divorce. But what if she chose to forgive the hero in the finale for the sake of positive energy and made dumplings together during the New Year?
It is common to put new wine in old bottles, but how the actors perform the drama well is crucial.
Especially the female lead, if her acting is poor and particularly awkward, this drama will definitely fail.
…
Yuan Qing continued, "The man worked outside and the woman stayed at home, and it was a sweet time.
Later, the male protagonist was promoted and given a raise due to his outstanding performance in the company."
She paused there.
Just when Gu Mo felt puzzled, Yuan Qing waved her hand and said, "All the camera teachers present, you have been busy all day, go wash up first.
I have asked the staff to arrange a sumptuous dinner to entertain you.
I apologize for the poor care."
Several photographers immediately agreed.
If you take the money, you have to do your job well. Obviously, the following words cannot be recorded to avoid them from being spread.
Only a fool would continue filming if there is money to be made and a good meal to eat.
How much money can a business trip allowance give you?
After the photographer turned off the camera and left the box.
Yuan Qing continued, "The heroine Li Hui and Tao Ci have been married for many years without having children. The hero's mother is desperate to have a grandchild, and the hero Tao Ci is pursued by a beautiful female colleague at the company. After repeated seductions, the two have a relationship.
In the end, the female colleague became pregnant.
So, the male protagonist, the third party, and the male protagonist's mother worked together to conceal the matter from the female protagonist. The male protagonist's mother also publicly recognized the third party as her goddaughter and allowed her to enter and leave the male protagonist's house freely.
In the end, he was caught in bed by the heroine and their relationship broke up completely.
The woman chose to divorce, but to save face, she kept the matter to herself and only received a small portion of the marital property. Later, unable to make ends meet, she took several jobs, but was forced to resign after her ex-husband repeatedly pestered her for reconciliation.
But the heroine was lucky enough to find a business opportunity through a small thing and successfully started her own business."
After listening to this, Gu Mo thought for a while.
From his vast music library, he found a song that fits the plot better.
But he still asked a key question: "No dumplings were made in the end, right?"
"Ah?" Yuan Qing was stunned.
"I mean, the heroine didn't forgive the hero's ex-husband and chose to remarry, which is a forced happy ending, right?
That kind of ending would have been popular ten years ago, but if it were made today it would only make young audiences feel sick and want to vomit.”
"No, the reason we took on this drama is, firstly, because the original novel is a big IP, and secondly, the content is very much in line with Ren Ya's preferences."
She didn't say the more important reason.
That is, the original work is very consistent with Ren Ya's future development path, that is, strong women are the only beautiful ones.
Although this approach may offend a small number of male fans, this market segment is very promising and is favored by many female fans.
More importantly, female fans have much stronger spending power than male fans.
Maybe in the future, Ren Ya will cut her hair short, adopt a "big attack" persona, and take on more brand endorsements.
…
“Okay, I understand.
I'm going to record a song demo tomorrow and hand it over to you guys.
You can start recording the day after tomorrow at the latest.
But there is a problem, this song is quite difficult to sing."
Gu Mo looked at Ren Ya, who had been silent the whole time, and asked, "Ren Ya, have you been studying music in the past few days?"
In Gu Mo's opinion, Ren Ya's vocal talent is very average.
She just has a hoarse voice. She can sing, but her singing is not pleasant.
The song "Love Offering" that Gu Mo composed for her previously had a lot of post-production tuning. It's almost like you don't even need to charge your phone; just listening to that song can fully charge it.
"Are you going to sing for me?"
Ren Ya always thought that it was Gu Mo who sang it himself.
She is aware of her singing skills.
A few years ago, she took on a commercial performance at the opening of a large shopping mall. When she sang "Love Offering" she was out of tune and the audience booed her. The video was posted online and attracted ridicule from netizens.
In the end, it was thanks to the halo and sentimentality of the heroine of "Happy Events of Flowers and Butterflies" that the anger of netizens and the negative public opinion storm were calmed down.
