Chapter 138 The Hand of God

Leslie Deng was silently watching the lyrics written by Gu Ao. She just recited the words, but she didn't feel amazing, and she was even a little cumbersome and verbose.

However, the story in the lyrics was quite touching her mood.

The key is to meet the situation.

The song "Strive on the Road to Life" was officially released in 1983 in history, but it was written in about 1982. As the most widely sang work of Teresa Teng's songs in later generations, the reason why it became popular was not unrelated to the absolute dedication of Teresa Teng's interpretation.

At that time, Teresa Deng, after 79 and 80 years of studying abroad, temporarily withdrew from the world, and then started again in Hong Kong and Taiwan, seeking to enter the Japanese market again. The ups and downs of life made her feel very touched when singing this song and she was also 100% invested.

As the saying goes, Hamlet is in the eyes of thousands of people. After all the joys and sorrows and separations have just been experienced, the world is naturally different.

In contrast, Cheng Long certainly did not understand this state of mind. With the long-winded words, he only understood it literally and couldn't help but want to mock him: At this level, he still said that he could write lyrics? With this kind of writing style of elementary school students, he dared to say that he guided Xiao Sui to write famous scripts? I don't know if Gu Ao made any contribution in the story of "Hujiangtan". Maybe he just relied on his wealth to buy people as gunmen...

Cheng Long didn't say it, but the suspicion was beyond words.

Gu Ao was not angry. After writing the last word, he smiled calmly: "This song may be a bit verbose and cumbersome in its lyrics, but it will be different when it is sung because I want to borrow the songs of Senior Miyuki Nakajima. If you cover Japanese songs into Chinese, you must have many syllables to modify. I believe Miss Deng can understand them."

Teresa Deng has been developing in Japan for three years, so of course she understands this principle. She nodded frequently as if she had some understanding.

The expression concentration in Japanese is very low, and the syllable efficiency is too poor. It takes about three times the number of pronunciations in Chinese to express the same meaning.

To give the simplest example, if you post a pronunciation of "I" in Chinese, Japanese requires three pronunciations of "Vatasi". Therefore, if you cover Japanese songs into Chinese, you have to add twice the extra verbose.

From another perspective, if you hear a Chinese song with a particularly rapid and large number of words and a variety of melodies, it is very likely that it was covered by a Japanese song (except Zhou Jielun).

Gu Ao made Li Yun judge that Gu Ao is a person who is well versed in the essence of bilingual creation.

"Mr. Gu, what did you learn when you were in college? You have a deep foundation in your creative skills and have a good understanding of different cultures." Deng Lady Deng couldn't help but be curious. She only knew that Gu Ao was a businessman in the entertainment industry and did not know his educational experience before.

Gu Ao told frankly: "I study diplomacy and international relations. You can understand the School of Diplomacy as China's 'Georgetown University'."

"It turns out that I am a diplomat. No wonder I have such a deep foundation in cross-cultural creation." Deng Lady Deng was solemnly respected.

Now, even Cheng Long had to completely put away his contempt, observe in secret, and wait for the change.

Gu Ao smiled indifferently, recalled the melody in his mind, and then sang it with Miyuki Nakajima's song: "Although the road is far from tired, I will accompany you one after another..."

After accompanying the song, Deng Lijun's eyes immediately lit up. The feeling was like a surprise box. When she uncovered the layers of packaging outside, she gave people the impression that she was "unusual".

But when we reached the last floor, the winding paths were clear and suddenly became clear. In an instant, the strange peaks suddenly emerged.

She just listened to it once and started singing along.

Others watching were also stunned. There was no one else who could improvise the situation.

Now who dares to say that Gu Ao is not worthy of being Xiao Sui’s life mentor in terms of creation or writing great works?

They are omniscient and omnipotent bosses, but they usually don’t want to waste their energy on this kind of path to entertain themselves.

"Mr. Gu, did you really give me this song? I want to publish it on my album when I officially come back next year. You can also say a number of copyright fees..." After singing, Teresa Deng was very excited. The more she chewed, the more she felt it was in line with her mental journey.

Why did Gu Ao have the nerve to collect money? This was originally someone else's song. He pretended to be forced to take away the "right to sign" due to the situation. It was already a forced one.

"Use whatever you want, it's not money. I'm not using this as a profession, so I'll write a message for a question." Gu Ao picked up his pen again and wrote "Give it to Miss Deng, I wish her to get out of her loss and start over again." As legal evidence.

Then, after doing things, I will leave, and hide my merits and fame.

Deng Lijun looked ashamed and chased Gu Ao and sent him and Xiao Sui into the car: "I'm sorry, I'm a petty man. Mr. Gu is doing big things, how could he be worthy of the money for writing songs? I will keep your signature. If any media asks you, I will also correct your name for you, so people will not misunderstand that you are writing songs for money."

She was afraid that Gu Ao would feel embarrassed to write a song, so she explained all the way until the car door was closed and said goodbye to leave.

The one-night party ends here.

Xiao Sui sat in the car and felt a little dazed and proud for the first time: "Husband, you are so amazing. If you have time and write the script yourself, you will definitely write it better than me. I'm so depressed by your comparison. But I'm also very proud, this is my husband~"

Xiao Sui hugged Gu Ao tightly, as if he would evaporate once he let go.

...

Back at the hotel, Gu Ao roughly described the story summary, and then Xiao Sui fought all night and devoted himself to the script creation with great enthusiasm.

Two days after that, Gu Ao stared at the negotiation process while watching the writing process.

I have also advised Xiao Sui not to be too detailed, and to talk about the storyboard scripts slowly, and the whole summary is out. Even a little bit of the novel color is not very consistent with the format of the script, so it doesn't matter.

Operationality needs to be discussed later. The key now is to take out something that can fool people first.

Gu Ao is in Hollywood and doesn't know a famous director.

To be precise, he has never dealt with the entertainment industry here at all. When he came twice, he only dealt with suppliers providing technology services.

However, since I thought about filming "Terminator", the candidate is naturally ready-made, that is, James Cameron, who made this film in history.

When Gu Ao came last time, he knew the truck driver and asked him to pull the equipment to the airport and get the other party's business card. Since he knew that he had potential, what else could he say?

So, on the third day after the concert, after Gu Ao received a preliminary narrative script, he was about to call Cameron and test the other party's recent situation first.

Gu Ao also knew that it would be strange to say to a truck driver, "Brother is optimistic about you." So the excuse for contacting is to ask the other party to transport equipment.

For this reason, Gu Ao got a set of large, slightly modified industrial robots from the Kuka robot (of course, they bought them for money, but they had not yet obtained the customs declaration procedures for shipment out of the country). Then he connected a circuit that could control the camera, which was considered a temporary experimental "quasi-photographic robot".

Then, a call was called to Cameron and asked him to pick up the goods and help him to the airport.

Cameron's first reaction when he received the call was still quite confused. After explaining for a while, he remembered Gu Ao's identity.

"...Oh, it was Mr. Tulazinski's Asian customer last time, right? Is there a stock again?"

Gu Ao: "That's right, it's an experimental model of photography robot."

"Photography robot?" Perhaps because I heard that this device is quite high-quality and is a new word I have never heard of before, the young man Cameron was embarrassed to refuse directly. (There are many technical fields of production words in English)

"If you are not in a hurry, I can arrange it for you or introduce another friend... This is the case. I am actually not a truck driver now. I have been with two crews for more than half a year and now I have gotten an opportunity to be a special effects director in a science fiction film. You may not believe it, but this is true..."

Cameron's tone of explanation was a bit weak and very tactful. He even paid for it without hesitation to pay his brother to help Gu Ao pull goods.

Historically, Cameron's debut in the film industry was around this time. At the beginning, he worked as a driver while handling work for various film and television companies and equipment companies, while attending amateur classes and finding opportunities to learn how to do chores by himself.

His job as a special effects director was also introduced from clients he had known.

However, Cameron obviously knew it. He knew that he had a chance, which did not mean that he had firmly stood firm in the movie circle.

He also needs more friends and insurance, so he doesn't want to offend any of the clients he has tried to curry favor with in the past. He hopes to maintain his impression so well until he becomes completely popular.

But when Gu Ao heard the news, he was overjoyed.

It turned out that this kid had no longer been a truck driver and had completely gained the job of the people in the circle. Then he would have lost a lot of verbal and doubts by himself.

At least in the future, historians don’t have to wonder why Gu Ao hired a truck driver as a director? Is it a time traveler who predicted history, so he knows that Cameron will become famous."

"So you are already the special effects director of science fiction movies. You are so rude. That's fine. When I bought this set of photography robots and supporting technology, I was inspired by the machine. I thought of a script about the future robots traveling through time and space to destroy humans.

But at present, there is only script and money, and nothing else. Mr. Cameron, if you have time, you are willing to come and take a look and help me with the staff and consultant. What resources and talents do you need to coordinate in making such a science fiction film? I can pay you the consultation fee."

"Only scripts and money? It takes a lot of money to make science fiction movies... are you mentally prepared?" Cameron was still afraid that Gu Ao would be joking casually, after all, the contrast with Gu Ao was too big.

Gu Ao quickly bragged: "I can now take out 500,000 US dollars as preparatory preparation. Within two months, I will get at least 5 million more funds. This script came to my mind. My girlfriend wrote it himself, and I am confident. In Xiangjiang across the ocean, I have made a TV series written by my girlfriend famous. It is the most popular TV series in the Chinese cultural circle this year, no doubt about it."

Cameron was excited when he heard it.

The director of the crew he worked for, Roger Kao, is currently not getting a $5 million investment in this project!

Although 5 million is not a super big production, Cameron has never been a director once, he has only been a rookie who has only been a visual special effects director once. It is a good harvest to be able to experience it.

"I have to work overtime tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow, I don't need the consultation fee. Where are you? I'll come to find you." His time is not worth it, even if it's a waste of time.

"Then let's decide tomorrow."
