The woman in Han costume was in her twenties. She was wearing an ivory white embroidered button-down jacket, a milky white satin embroidered lily skirt that dragged the floor, two bunches of black and smooth hair hung straight to the waist, and her hair was tied up in a unique double bun.
This was a very popular retro dress. A well-made women's Han costume was expensive, and it was not easy to wear a real ancient charm. Appearance, figure, and temperament were indispensable.
But for this woman, it was not a problem at all.
She seemed to be a figure coming out of an ancient painting of a lady. Her skin was as white as snow, her face was as beautiful as jade, her eyebrows were elegant, her eyes were like stars, and her temperament was elegant and cold, which made people have the idea that they could only watch from a distance and not dare to play with her.
When she stepped into the elegant room, the whole room seemed to add a touch of brightness.
"Huh!"
Seeing the woman in Han costume, Gao Yue asked in surprise, "Qin Qing, why are you here?"
The woman in Han costume bowed politely and said, "Hello, Professor Gao, Professor Chen, Director Zhang, and Uncle Chen."
She greeted the four guests in one breath, and her pretty eyes finally fell on Lu Chen.
There was a little curiosity and scrutiny.
Chen Pu and Zhang Wentian both nodded with a smile. ChenJianhao exclaimed, "Qin Qing is getting more and more beautiful. If you continue to be beautiful, I'm afraid that no one will be worthy of you in the future!"
Qin Qing pursed her lips and said with a chuckle, "Uncle Chen only knows how to make people happy. It's not that exaggerated."
Her voice was pleasant to the ear, like jade beads rolling on a gold plate. It made people feel very comfortable when they heard it and fell into their hearts.
But her smile was like a flash in the pan, and immediately returned to its original elegance.
ChenJianhao said to Lu Chen, "Xiao Lu, this is Qin Qing. She studies folk music in Jingyin. You can go to Jingyin to attend classes in the future. If you encounter anything, you can ask her for help."
Lu Chen got up and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Chen, Lu from the mainland, and Chen from the morning."
Qin Qing nodded, "Hello."
Her expression was light, and she had an indescribable temperament.
After greeting them, Qin Qing said to Gao Yue, "Professor Gao, I heard that you want a big drum here. There is only one drum in our tea garden. I don't know if it meets the requirements."
Gao Yue smiled generously and said, "Yes, there is a song that needs accompaniment. The Taiji Drum is also fine."
Taiji Drum was a type of Taiji drum. Taiji drum originated in China and was carried forward after it was introduced to Japan. In modern times, it returned to China. It was mainly divided into Taiji drum, Taiji drum, Heping drum, and Xiao drum. Usually, it was called Taiji drum, Zhong drum, and Xiao drum.
What the two attendants brought over was a Daitai drum. This type of drum had holes all around it and a red string wrapped around it. There was also a wooden stick perpendicular to the drum's surface. It was most suitable for men to play.
Qin Qing's eyes lit up and she asked, "Then can I listen in here?"
Zhang Wentian said with a smile, "We can't wait for you to come. After listening to it, Xiaoqin, you can also give us some advice."
Qin Qing replied very seriously, "Okay."
She sat down in the corner of the room, where a zither was placed.
Zhang Wentian couldn't wait to say to Lu Chen, "Xiao Lu, let's do it again!"
Lu Chen nodded and picked up the drumsticks.
He had never played this kind of Taiji drum before, but he had seen others play it and knew that the method was very particular.
Fortunately, he only used drums to accompany it, and didn't need much skill. Immediately, he held the drumsticks in both hands and hit the prelude.
Even if it wasn't a Chinese drum, the sound of a real leather drum was not comparable to that of the chopsticks just now. The short prelude made people feel their blood boiling.
Singing again, Lu Chen did not deliberately lower his voice.
"Pride faces the waves of ten thousand waves,
Hot blood is like the red sun!
Courage is like iron and bones are like fine steel,
Mind is thousands of zhang,
Vision is ten thousand li long,
I will work hard to be a good man!
Be a good man,
Be self-reliant every day,
A hot-blooded man shines brighter than the sun!
… … "
In Lu Chen's dream world, this classic theme song is inseparable from a series of martial arts movies. It can be said to be the pinnacle of the work. The lyrics are full of the hot-blooded spirit of a heroic man.
It is adapted from an ancient song, General Ling. Both the melody and the lyrics are very imposing, revealing a kind of majesty of a "monarch descending to the world", and the surging passion can shock every listener at once!
The melody in the song is soul-stirring. To say that it is imposing, this "Qi" is not only the imposing manner of the song, but more importantly, it shows the national courage of the descendants of China and the awe-inspiring righteousness between heaven and earth. When these "Qi" are combined, it gives birth to the most exciting and majestic soundtrack in Chinese movies at that time.
Recalling the plot of the movie in his dream, Lu Chen's momentum suddenly rose, and his emotions were completely integrated into it.
He sang with more power!
"… …
Let the sea and the sky gather energy for me,
To open up the sky and the earth for my ideals,
Look at the tall and strong blue waves,
Then look at the vast blue sky,
I am a man, I should be self-reliant!
Step forward and stick out your chest, let everyone be a pillar and a good man,
Use my hundred points of heat to shine a thousand points of light!
Be a good man,
Hot blood and intestines,
Brighter than the sun!
… … "
The elegant atmosphere in the tearoom was instantly destroyed by Lu Chen's drumming and singing, but everyone present didn't feel that he was cooking cranes and burning the zither to spoil the scenery. Instead, they listened very carefully.
Especially Zhang Wentian, he was simply beaming with joy. He wanted to slap the table and applaud several times, but he held back.
Qin Qing's slender hands pressed the strings of the zither, and her starry eyes flashed with a strange look.
She came because of curiosity. When she first saw Lu Chen, the latter gave her the impression that he was handsome and polite.
It's just that there have been too many excellent boys in front of Qin Qing. Lu Chen has nothing special, so naturally, there was no special feeling to speak of. He was just an ordinary passerby.
Until Lu Chen beat the drum and sang!
At the beginning, she could see at a glance that Lu Chen didn't know how to play the Daiji Drum. He completely used the Daiji Drum as an ordinary leather drum, and his movements appeared clumsy and jerky.
The song "A Man Should Strengthen Himself" changed her impression in an instant!
The rhythm of Lu Chen's drumming was extremely powerful, and his singing was full of a heroic spirit that didn't match his age and appearance. The sound was sonorous and deafening, and even a girl like her felt her blood surging.
He was so focused, as if everything around him didn't exist, and all his mind was immersed in the song.
It was this incomparably serious attitude that inadvertently touched Qin Qing's heartstrings.
She had a little more favorable impression of him.
"… Warm blood and intestines, brighter than the sun!"
The drumming stopped abruptly, and the singing stopped abruptly. The lingering sound lingered, but it was not finished.
"Good!"
Zhang Wentian was the first to clap his hands and applaud. He looked overjoyed: "That's it!"
Among all the people present, he was the most chivalrous. Otherwise, he would not have chosen such a script as his debut blockbuster. Therefore, he was the easiest to be moved by the song "A Man Should Strengthen Himself".
In fact, when Lu Chen began to sing again, the great director had already decided to use this theme song.
Based on this, the tone of the soundtrack of the whole film can be determined.
He no longer had any mental barriers, and he could let go.
Therefore, Zhang Wentian was very grateful to Lu Chen for bringing him a wonderful work.
Gao Yue and Chen Pu also applauded. The latter smiled and said, "Old Zhang, you finally got what you wanted."
"Good song, good music …"
Gao Yue sighed, "We're really old."
This song "A Man Should Strengthen Himself", whether it was the tune or the lyrics, is perfect for Zhang Wentian's upcoming movie. There's basically nothing to be picky about. At most, he needs to work harder on the arrangement and accompaniment.
Or find someone else to sing again?
Lu Chen is still too young. Even if it's his work, it doesn't mean that he can sing the best.
Of course, this doesn't affect Gao Yue's appreciation of Lu Chen, which is purely out of professional considerations.
ChenJianhao directly gave Lu Chen a thumbs up.
He thought he knew enough about Lu Chen, but now he found that his previous understanding was too superficial.
Lu Chen is like an inexhaustible treasure, always bringing people surprises.
The style of this song "A Man Should Strengthen Himself" is completely different from his previous works. It is vigorous and has the atmosphere of a grandmaster, and its strength can only be described as unfathomable.
Qin Qing was surprised. Listening to what they said, it seems that this song is Lu Chen's original work?
That's too surprising!
Lu Chen, holding the drumsticks in his hand, bowed with a smile and said, "Thank you."
In the face of appreciation and honor, Lu Chen has never been complacent and proud, because he knows the source of his glory.
And it is precisely this modesty that makes the two professors and Zhang Wentian particularly favorable impression.
Zhang Wentian said, "Lu Chen, I want this song. Which company did you sign with?"
There are rules in the industry. If he wants to buy songs from Lu Chen, he must first negotiate with Lu Chen's signing company.
Because according to the artist contract, the signing company owns full or priority copyright of the works created by Lu Chen.
Unless he is a top big shot, it is impossible to be exceptional.
Lu Chen's answer was beyond Zhang Wentian's expectation: "Director Zhang, I opened a studio of my own. If you like this song, I can license it to the investors of the film for free."
The theme song of a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan has a great influence. Not to mention free licensing, even if it costs money, Lu Chen is willing to do it. It would be best if Zhang Wentian owes him a favor.
If you want to make more money, you must take a long-term view. It is not wise to be greedy for small profits.
Zhang Wentian was stunned at first. He didn't expect that Lu Chen actually opened his own studio without relying on other companies.
But he reacted quickly and said with a laugh, "I don't want it for free. I still have to pay the fees that should be paid …"
After a pause, he asked, "The main actors in my movie have all been decided, but there are still a few supporting roles with few scenes. I wonder if you are interested in trying them?"
Lu Chen was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, Director Zhang, I'm very interested!"
If he misses such an opportunity, he will be struck by lightning!
