159 "Love is just a word"
"What, you wrote the song in one night?"
Wang Jing's eyes widened and he looked at the manuscript paper in front of him in shock.
This news caused his brain to shut down. When had it been so easy to write a movie theme song?
"This, this, this, this... is too outrageous!"
After patting his face, Wang Jing took the manuscript paper, looked at Ye Fan, and after confirming that the person standing in front of him was not Huang Zhan, he began to read the song.
Ye Fan shrugged and said, "Is it difficult to write a song? It's just a matter of more than 200 words, composing the music and revising it, and it's done in half an hour. It takes more than this time for me to play a game of "poker"."
Wang Jing's fat face twitched when he heard such pretentious words that didn't deserve a beating. He really wanted to ask if playing "poker" was what he understood. It was more than half an hour? How long would it take?
After thinking about his own time, Wang Jing's heart was stabbed hard by Ye Fan again!
Unable to lose his momentum, Wang Jing raised his head and pretended to be calm and said: "This song is good. The lyrics and music are more in line with the theme of the movie. I will ask someone to take it to Boss Xiang for a look."
Ye Fan had no objection. When he came over in the morning, he asked Wang Jinghua to help him register the copyright of the song in Hong Kong Island.
There are naturally staff in the studio in charge of the mainland side, and they have probably all been registered now, so Ye Fan is not afraid of anything happening.
Soon, the news that Ye Fan wrote the theme song in one night spread throughout the crew. Most people were shocked and couldn't believe it, and they all came over to confirm this gossip with Wang Jing.
Some people also wanted to see the score of the new song with their own eyes. Except for a few people, everyone else was scolded by Wang Jing. Can the theme song be shown to anyone casually?
However, several leading actors confirmed the news, which satisfied the appetite of the masses and convinced some Hong Kong Islanders in the crew to be impressed by Ye Fan's talent.
After all, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are only a few people like Huang Zhan, Xiao Chong, and Andy Lau who can write a good song within 30 minutes.
He is either a top music producer or a top singer. With such level, they cannot help but be dissatisfied.
And this is one of Ye Fan's reasons for exposing his songwriting speed. It's hard for mainlanders to get along in Hong Kong, especially him, Jet Li, Carina Lau, and Chen Daoming are all mainlanders.
With so many mainlanders co-starring in a Hong Kong film, some Hong Kong filmmakers have some objections.
Therefore, Ye Fan had to come out and show off. I believe that after this news spreads, his reputation in Hong Kong Island will be greatly improved, and it will also reverse some people's prejudices.
However, when Zhang Yushan saw that "Expecting Love" was not only of good quality, but also a song sung by a man and a woman, she immediately became happy. She thought Ye Fan wrote the song for the two of them, and she felt that her initiative had been effective recently.
Ye Fan didn't think much about it. He simply thought this song was suitable. As for which female singer would sing it, he was worried that no one would sing Ye Fan's song?
After Ye Fan came to Hong Kong Island, how many singers wanted to invite him to sing and sing duets? Ye Fan had not agreed to any of them before.
There are no people with the status of Boss Xiang and Boss Yang. How many singers in Hong Kong are worthy of him to write songs?
At noon that day, I got a reply from my boss.
"Tell the boss about the Academy Awards and he will take care of it. If this movie can win an award, it will be a good thing for Star Company."
After Wang Jing finished conveying what he said to his boss, he rolled his eyes and said to Ye Fan with a smile: "Xiao Fan, since you write songs so fast, you can do it without inserting songs."
Li Lianjie, who was standing by, also had a dark look on his face. What was Fatty Wang thinking? Did he want to eat a peach?
Ye Fan has truly never seen such a shameless person!
Patting Wang Jing's shoulder, Ye Fan said: "Director Wang, if you can let me or Brother Jie win the Academy Award for Best Actor for this movie, how about I take care of the episode?"
Wang Jing's face froze. Wasn't this a slap in the face? Who doesn't know that Director Wang is a commercial film director, and winning awards has nothing to do with him. Fa Ge's award for "God of Gamblers" also relied on his acting skills.
Wang Jing smiled and said: "Well, let's start filming and try to finish filming your scenes before losing weight as soon as possible."
Ye Fan shook his head. He had to force him to slap him in the face. Why bother? His songwriting and appearance fees are now among the top prices in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles.
While Ye Fan was filming, the news that he wrote a song in 30 minutes gradually spread in the entertainment industry. People in the industry were surprised, disbelieving, and curious. They all had different thoughts.
.
The reporters who heard the news gathered outside the crew again, preparing to interview the crew to see if they could get first-hand information.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. When the reporters looked back, they found that it was Leslie Cheung who was here, so they all ran over to interview him.
Fortunately, my brother’s bodyguards were very effective and successfully sent Leslie Cheung to the set...
"Shi Zai, why are you here?"
"Director Wang, I just happened to be passing by and stopped by to visit after get off work. I bought some things on the way. They are all in the back. You can share them with everyone."
When Wang Jing saw Leslie Cheung bringing so much food, he immediately burst into smiles. He guessed that he had something to come over, so he stopped the crew and took people to distribute the food.
Ye Fan came over and asked, "Brother, why are you here today? Is the filming over there finished?"
"It's not just about you writing a song in 30 minutes. Boss Yang has approached Boss Xiang. He has seen the song and thinks it's pretty good. He wants you to write the theme song for our movie. Why don't you let me come over?
Let’s talk to you.”
Leslie Cheung forced a smile, and it was obvious that he was deeply involved in the drama.
Ye Fan didn't expect Boss Yang to be so efficient, so he couldn't sit still, so Ye Fan smiled and said: "I will definitely give you my brother's face, but..."
"If you have any conditions, just tell me. Why are you so secretive in front of me?"
"I don't have to charge money, but can I get a fair treatment for the music awards next year?"
After hearing this, Leslie Cheung's smile finally became normal. He said with a smile: "I guessed you would say that. Don't worry, Boss Yang guessed that you were thinking this way. He had spoken in advance and would talk to those people."
Just to say hello."
"Even if he doesn't tell me, I still have some connections and status in the music world. You don't have to worry about fairness when you come here to participate in awards."
Leslie Cheung's words can be said to be a safeguard for Ye Fan to attend award ceremonies in Hong Kong in the future.
Ye Fan was moved and hugged Leslie Cheung, not for anything else but for his feelings!
"Get a pen and paper!"
The people nearby were shocked when they heard what Ye Fan said. Ye Fan was going to write a song on the spot!
Zhang Yushan reacted quickly. She kept paying attention here. When she heard Ye Fan's words, she quickly took the pen and paper over, then stood aside and looked at Ye Fan with stars in her eyes. She was like a little Ye Fan.
The look of a girl crush.
Ye Fan didn't know whether she was pretending or sincere. He just asked the irrelevant people to avoid it and started writing.
"Pull away the dark clouds in the sky
As beautiful as blue velvet…”
After hearing the news, Wang Jing, Jet Li and other leading actors also came over to witness Ye Fan's improvisation and did not want to miss this miraculous moment.
"...Love is just one word, I only say it once
You know I can only express it through actions
The wild flowers are too bold and hold on.
Watch me risk everything for you..."
After writing the lyrics, Ye Fan started to compose the music. But when they saw these words, everyone was shocked. This lyrics obviously looked better than the previous song, and it didn't look like a song that could be written casually!
Others just lamented, but Wang Jing felt sour in his heart, wondering why the songs he wrote for Leslie Cheung were so good, while the songs he wrote for them were obviously a notch lower.
However, Wang Jing could only keep this idea in his heart. Leslie Cheung and Boss Yang's reputation was indeed greater than theirs, and the idea of letting Ye Fan write songs was his idea. It would be great if Li Lianjie could help him.
After Leslie Cheung saw the lyrics, his eyes gradually turned red. The lyrics were so well written. They not only resembled the relationship between him and Mr. Tang, but also fit the theme of their movie.
After Ye Fan composed the music, he handed it to Leslie Cheung. At this time, Zhang Yushan shouted excitedly: "19 minutes, only 19 minutes!"
After Zhang Yushan finished speaking, she looked straight at Ye Fan, as if she wanted to swallow Ye Fan.
It made Ye Fan suspect that if there was no one around, Zhang Yushan would drag him into the room and do some indescribable things!
However, when Zhang Yushan said this, the people around him were shocked. They were only looking at the music score and forgot to count the time. Fortunately, Zhang Yushan looked at the time.
Although the people in the distance could not see the song written by Ye Fan, they could still hear the sound of 19 minutes. There was an uproar and they couldn't help but come forward to see what song Ye Fan had written.
, so fast.
Fortunately, Wang Jing's prestige was very high. He scolded the restless crowd, and with Leslie Cheung's bodyguards standing in front, the crew could only retreat and whisper.
"Xiao Fan, what's the name of this song? It's really well written."
Leslie Cheung ignored the external situation and stared at the music score without looking away.
Ye Fan smiled and said: ""Love is Just One Word" was also inspired by you, brother. If you like it, just sing it."
This song was released in 1999. Ye Fan had written it before. When I first met Xu Zhongmin, this song was among the songs, and the copyright had already been registered, so Ye Fan could write it so quickly this time.
Moreover, Ye Fan felt that this song was a bit incongruous when used in a movie about mother-child love like "Lotus Lantern", so it is just right to use it now.
Leslie Cheung glanced at Ye Fan gratefully, put down the manuscript, shook his head and said, "No, if you have this intention, I will be satisfied. It's better if you sing, I want to hear you sing even more!"
Ye Fan didn't force it and agreed without taking back the manuscript. He still believed in Leslie Cheung's character.
Leslie Cheung was touched and had no intention of staying and chatting. He said hello to Ye Fan and left in a hurry. Apparently he wanted to find a quiet place to enjoy the song.
"Xiao Fan, "Love is Just One Word" is much better than "Expecting Love". They are both your movies. You can't favor one and choose another one with similar quality."
Looking at Wang Jing's envious expression, Ye Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Writing songs requires inspiration. I always write based on the script. My brother's situation is special, unless..."
When Wang Jing heard that there was something going on, he said excitedly: "Unless what?"
"Unless you are with Uncle Da, maybe I will have some inspiration."
After saying this, Ye Fan ran away. Except for Wang Jing, everyone else was laughed out of laughter, and several ladies laughed so hard that they were out of breath.
Wang Jing was stunned by these words. After reacting, he shouted angrily to Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, just wait for me. There will be no good outcome if you offend the director."
Of course, this is just a joke. Investors + starring + screenwriters must have a higher status than the director.
There was a lot of laughter in the crew, but after this situation was spread by the crowd, and Leslie Cheung's expression when he left, the reporters outside were shocked and couldn't believe it was true.
Wang Jing didn't know where Ye Fan had gone, and couldn't find anyone. He had no choice but to come forward and confirm the news with the reporters, which immediately caused an uproar among the reporters!
The reporters also got to know Ye Fan a little bit during this time. He was as slippery as a loach, unlike a 17-year-old young man.
Chapter completed!
