Music is a magical thing. It can resonate without words.
Whether it was people who had noticed the soundtrack at the end of the episode or not, after the end of the episode, they might have thought of something different, but the sympathy, pity, and other feelings they had for the historical figure Fang Zhao would be greatly diminished.
As a result, it was hard to avoid people continuing to speculate about conspiracy theories. They felt that it was because of the interference of certain powers that the character of Fang Zhao had ended up in such a manner. Even though the character had been deeply portrayed, it did not give off the feeling of a tragic hero that everyone had imagined. There was definitely a conspiracy behind all this! Politics and whatnot were all darkness!
Of course, even more people were just binge-watching the series. How the series was filmed, how they saw it. At the same time, they wanted to change their opinion of the historical figure Fang Zhao.
"Founding Era" had reached its ninth season, and it wouldn't be long before the tenth season would begin broadcasting. Up until now, the quality of the nine seasons that had been broadcast was rather high.
Even if the plot was controversial, it was undeniable that "Founding Era" was one of the few dramas that had a great soundtrack and film.
Putting everything else aside, this lineup, this capital strength, this historical significance, even if it was remade in the future, could it be replaced?
Many critics had also said that in the next 50 years or even 100 years, it would be impossible to surpass them!
The actors who had not been able to join the cast were filled with regret. They could only console themselves that there would still be opportunities in the future. However, they also knew rationally that even if there were other production teams filming historical dramas from that period, they would not be able to compare to the influence of "Founding Era."
When season nine came to an end, following the death of an important character, Fang Zhao, Fang Zhao once again became a hot topic.
When people discussed "Fang Zhao," it was inevitable that Fang Zhao, who played the character, would be mentioned.
"Watching this bunch of talented actors is really satisfying. They really bring out the depth of history. This kind of epic drama really tests one's acting skills. I heard that many actors can't get over it for a long time after acting. I wonder if Fang Zhao has gotten over it after acting as Old Fang. I haven't heard any news from him recently."
"Some enthusiastic citizens of Yanbei revealed that they saw Fang Zhao at a retirement facility."
"I don't think he's out of the movie yet."
"You all seem to have forgotten that the actor playing Fang Zhao is only in his twenties! Younger than me! Generally speaking, the better a young actor acted, the harder it would be for him to walk out of the drama. It might even leave a psychological scar. Many actors were affected by a drama for life. It's not easy for this young man! "
"Oh right, Fang Zhao isn't even 30 yet! Moreover, he was a complete newbie! I remember that Roman was the one who recommended the casting, right? Roman really has good eyesight. "
"It was Roman's recommendation. In the end, it was decided by the Committee of Hundred, but Roman took the lead."
Inevitably, there would always be people who were jealous.
"Fang Zhao is just lucky."
"I analyzed it and concluded that Fang Zhao was just acting as he was. If it was someone else with the same personality, they would still be able to perform the same effect."
The fans were unhappy.
"There's something I don't know if I should say, so I took a look at the information of the two people upstairs. Are they also actors? That's great, I have to say this — if you can do it, then do it. If you can't, then shut up! "
"In the past, I didn't know. I always thought that the actor portraying 'Fang Zhao' was an older actor. Now, it seems that even if Fang Zhao performs as himself, even if he has an advantage, just looking at Fang Zhao's age, the number of people who can do it can be counted on one hand. Not just anyone can play this role. Roman and those world-class directors and artists in the Committee of 100 aren't blind!"
"Take a look at the drama. Their words, actions, aura, and expressions are all flawless! Awesome, my Zhao God! "
As the bunch of people were chatting, the official Yanzhou section of "Founding Era" released a new message on the social platform:
"Season 9's ending credits, 'This Life of Mine,' composer: Fang Zhao, arranger: Fang Zhao... [link]"
During the production of season 9, in consideration of the influence of having the same name, Fang Zhao's composer information did not appear in the closing credits of that episode. However, the official website quickly released the composer, arranger, recording artist, band, and other information, as well as a link to the music demo.
"F * cking awesome! This is self-composed, self-written, and self-acted! "
"If you didn't mention it, I would have almost forgotten that he graduated from a music academy. What the f * ck should I say? An e-sports god who doesn't want to be an Oscar winner is not a good composer? "
"I just want to ask, are people with this name all very impressive? Recently, I have been thinking of naming my newborn child. "
"Cough, I have the same name as the great Old Fang and the same name as Zhao God. I failed the month-end test."
...
People online had their own fun, but for people in the music industry, it was different.
"The artistic standard of this song is rather high, and it fits well with the film. It has a chance of winning an award. Are youngsters these days already so impressive? Which school did he graduate from? "
"He probably had a mentor. It can't be denied that the standard of this song is rather high, but this is not something someone Fang Zhao's age can compose!"
"I think so too. Fang Zhao has talent in this area, but the possibility of him composing independently is not high. Let's not talk about how difficult it is to master this kind of unhurried yet heavy epic music. Without enough experience, comprehension, and accumulation of time, how can a mere few decades of experience be able to compose something like this? "
"Maybe he is too immersed in his character. Isn't everyone saying that Fang Zhao acts well? However, if he really composed this song independently, then I can only say that this person, Fang Zhao, is a genius among geniuses. "
"Acting and composing are not the same. It cannot be explained by a genius. I still believe that there is someone helping him. "
"If it isn't Xue Jing, then it is Mo Lang. The possibility of Mo Lang is higher. After all, Xue Jing did not go to planet Wai. Furthermore, when he was on planet Wai, many people know that Fang Zhao and Mo Lang were close. Venerable Mo even frequently sends gifts to Fang Zhao. It seems like their relationship is pretty good. "
"Didn't Venerable Mo say long ago that he doesn't accept students? His last disciple is already in his fifties. "
Doubts were doubts, but no one dared to ask Mo Lang. However, in everyone's hearts, they believed that Mo Lang had given Fang Zhao guidance.
Many of the works of youngsters were said to be composed independently, but they actually had a team or formidable mentor helping them out.
"In 'Founding Era,' Fang Zhao only submitted this one song?"
"This is the only song he composed as a composer. However, I heard my teacher say that Fang Zhao participated in the arrangement of the finale song of season 10."
"The finale song of season 10? That project that was 10 minutes long? The one that Venerable Mo personally composed? "
"That's right. According to insider information, Venerable Mo personally added Fang Zhao's name in the composition section."
"All right, there's no need to say anything more. It was definitely Venerable Mo's help."
The group of composers had come to this conclusion.
Regardless of the suspicions of those academic composers, Great-Grandfather Fang firmly believed that Fang Zhao had composed this song alone. In his opinion, there was nothing his little great-grandson couldn't do.
"Our Little Zhao is a genius!"
Great-Grandfather Fang smiled until his eyes were squinted.
The next morning.
Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother Fang prepared breakfast early in the morning.
When it was just the two of them, they would usually get the retirement facility's canteen to send over some porridge or cook a simple breakfast themselves. However, after Fang Zhao arrived, the two elders personally cooked. Fang Zhao couldn't stop them.
Early in the morning, there was a big pot of rice and five to six dishes.
The dishes were vegetables the two elders had grown themselves, as well as vegetables and meat that Fang Zhao had gotten the farms in Muzhou to send over.
One bowl, two bowls... Fang Zhao ate five big bowls of rice in a row. That big pot of rice and the dishes on the table had basically all been finished by him.
Great-Grandmother Fang had a benevolent smile on her face, not feeling that anything was wrong.
Great-Grandfather Fang, on the other hand, was full of heartache. He thought to himself, This child Fang Zhao has indeed suffered. Filming and composing, exhausting his energy and his brain. How can he not be tired? Perhaps he often goes hungry and can't even have a full meal. Mmhm, let's add a ladle of rice for lunch.
Actually, Fang Zhao had not intended to eat so much here. He could indeed eat a lot, but the two elders were getting on in years, and cooking wasn't easy. Cooking a table full of food was even more difficult. Even though most kitchenware nowadays had artificial intelligence, Fang Zhao couldn't let the two elders tire themselves out. However, he couldn't stop them. The two elders were full of energy, so Fang Zhao could only stand by the side and help out. When he ate less, the two elders felt that their culinary skills had deteriorated and felt even more discouraged.
Although Fang Zhao ate a lot, his eating speed was fast. By the time the two elders were done, Fang Zhao had also finished his fifth bowl of rice. After stopping Great-Grandmother Fang from adding a sixth bowl, Fang Zhao helped tidy up the table.
Great-Grandfather Fang dusted his sleeves. "Cough, Little Zhao, let's go for a walk. We need to digest the food after breakfast."
Just as Fang Zhao was about to say something, he received a call from the company.
Great-Grandmother Fang let Fang Zhao go to the room to answer the call, then waved her hand at Great-Grandfather Fang. "Go by yourself. Little Zhao still has things to do."
"All right," Great-Grandfather Fang said reluctantly, but he didn't want to affect Fang Zhao's official business.
Great-Grandfather Fang walked out the door with a downcast face, but very quickly, his face brightened up again. He quickened his pace and caught up with the other elders who were also out for a walk.
"Hey, Old Li, did you watch 'Founding Era' yesterday? My Little Zhao acted really well! So many people on the internet praised my Little Zhao for being a genius, but when I heard them mention the old commander, 'Old Fang', 'Old Fang', I felt my face heat up. It's a little embarrassing. In the future, don't call me Old Fang anymore. How about changing the way you address me? "
The old veteran who had been called out had a stiff expression. "Where do you get so much inner drama?"
"My Little Zhao acted in this series! Too bad he only acted until season nine... Oh, right, the ending song for the last episode of season nine is different from the previous episodes. The background music was composed by my Little Zhao, independently composed! What is this called? Self-composed, self-composed, and self-acted! Not that I'm bragging, but there aren't many people in the entire world who can do it, and even those who can do it aren't at the level of my Little Zhao! "
The other old veterans: "..." These days can't go on any longer!
Great-Grandfather Fang had returned from his daily bragging and was in a good mood. He was even humming a little tune. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Great-Grandmother Fang packing things.
"What's going on?" Great-Grandfather Fang asked.
"Little Zhao said that he has some matters to attend to at the company and has to return to Qi'an City tomorrow. I'm helping him pack some things first."
A bolt from the blue!
Great-grandfather Fang's complacent mood was completely obliterated by the thunderbolt.
"What? Didn't you say that you could stay for a longer period of time? Why are you in such a hurry to return? "Great-Grandfather Fang hurriedly asked.
Fang Zhao had just come out of his room and explained, "The company has arranged for an interview. It was a last-minute decision."
"Live broadcast or recorded?" Great-Grandfather Fang asked again.
"Live broadcast."
"That's good. Which program? Let me set up a reminder first. "
After clarifying, Great-Grandfather Fang skillfully set up three reminders. Then he asked, "Little Zhao, are you going to continue acting when you return? I saw the news online. I heard that many people are looking for you to play the lead role. "
"No, I plan to advance my studies," Fang Zhao replied.
"Advanced studies? Where are you going to advance your studies? "
"Huangzhou Institute of Art or Huangzhou Conservatory of Music, but I still have to take an exam."
According to Silver Wing, Fang Zhao had some works that he could bring out and had a certain amount of influence. With the company pulling some strings behind the scenes, as long as his exam results weren't too bad, entering these two schools' advanced courses wouldn't be a problem. However, the exams for both schools were on the same day, so it was impossible for him to apply for both. The company wanted Fang Zhao to consider first and make a decision as soon as possible so that the company could make arrangements in advance.
Great-Grandfather Fang didn't know much about this. He did some research and discovered that in terms of music, Huangzhou Institute of Art and Huangzhou Conservatory of Music were ranked among the top two in the world. Qi'an Conservatory of Music, which Fang Zhao had graduated from, was ranked much higher. These two were both top-notch schools.
"You can definitely do it!" Great-Grandfather Fang was very confident in Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao had another call, so Great-Grandfather Fang didn't want to disturb him. He turned around and realized that there was nothing left to tidy up, so he ran over to the vegetable patch.
There were people in charge of the vegetable patch, and they could help out. Great-Grandfather Fang got people to pluck everything that could be eaten and seal the food preservation containers.
When the others saw this, they asked, "Old Man Fang, I saw you pluck quite a lot yesterday. Why are you plucking so much today? Aren't you eating anymore? "
"I'm not eating anymore! Send it all to my Little Zhao! "
"Your Little Zhao is leaving?" A few old cadres who were tending to the vegetable patch under the guidance of agronomy experts immediately raised their heads and asked. They didn't have time to conceal the ecstasy on their faces.
"Yes." Great-Grandfather Fang's attention was on the vegetables and didn't notice the reactions of the others.
"Then what about the vegetables you plucked yesterday?" someone asked.
"I finished them! Young people, being able to eat is a blessing. "
"Doesn't your Little Zhao have a farm in Muzhou? He doesn't lack food. The vegetables on a Muzhou farm are much better than what you half-baked produce! "someone else said.
"That's not the same." In any case, Great-Grandfather Fang felt that the vegetables he grew were the best. "My Little Zhao still has to go to Huangzhou to further his studies. Composing is also very tiring. I have to send him more."
"Eh? Isn't your Little Zhao an actor? "the others were curious.
"That's just a part-time job. Part-time, do you understand? His main occupation is still composing. He still has to further his studies and attend advanced classes. "Great-Grandfather Fang had a pleased look on his face.
"Advanced classes? I know this. My son mentioned it before when he was in the Ministry of Education. Has your Little Zhao found a school? In recent years, music and art schools have been stricter in this aspect. The higher the ranking, the harder it is to get into advanced classes, especially the top two globally. "
Great-Grandfather Fang's expression turned solemn. "I haven't confirmed it yet. Considering his specialization, let me say, Huangzhou Music Academy is fine. Huangzhou Institute of Art is also fine."
