Chapter 57 The Paradoxical Sad Children's Song

"Dongdong~~"

A knock on the door sounded, and Li Yuefen spoke in the office.

"Please come in."

Wang Ye pushed the door open and looked around. In addition to Li Yuefen, there was also a middle-aged man in his 40s who was elegant and looked at him with a smile on his face.

He wondered, was it another person who came to ask for songs?

However, after "Orchid Grass" became popular, didn't the godmother tell him to focus on academic courses and not to write songs casually. If someone comes to ask for songs, she will help him turn it off?

What happened to this Lord today?

He could only smile and said:

"That, fuck... cough cough... Professor Li, what's wrong with sending me a message?"

Li Yuefen stood up with a smile and pulled Wang Ye to sit down.

"Okay, Xiaoye, don't be polite. This is not an outsider."

"Let me introduce it. This is my senior, Director Cheng Huang, and you are considered your senior. Just call Uncle Cheng directly."

"Oh, yes, hello Uncle Cheng, I am Wang Ye."

Cheng Huang smiled and stretched out his hand, and Wang Ye took the handshake.

"Hello, Wang Ye, I am Cheng Huang."

"Haha, today I saw the real person of the Music Prince. It turns out that he is a talented person and extraordinary."

"Where is where, what is the music prince? Uncle Cheng said that, but I'm sorry to me."

After some greetings, Li Yuefen took the initiative to talk about the important matter and began to introduce Cheng Huang's identity.

Cheng Huang is Li Yuefen's senior, a graduate of the Director's Department of the Magic City Art Academy more than 20 years ago.

Over the past 20 years, he has filmed three TV series and seven movies. The three TV series he filmed have good ratings and can be respected as a famous director in the TV industry. But later he became ambitious and began to seek upgrades and switch to the film industry. However, over the years, most of the seven movies he filmed were not very satisfactory. Three of them lost money, and two of them barely recovered their costs. However, only two of them made money, but they did not make much money, and investors were not satisfied.

It can be said that over the years, he has not been able to spend time in the film industry, but he has been defeated and fought repeatedly. This year, he has planned to shoot his eighth movie, a realistic plot about family, emotions, maternal love and ethics.

Cheng Huang in this movie has been polished with all kinds of details and plots. Now that it has been almost done, it is about to enter the subsequent production program of editing the movie. In order to achieve perfection, Cheng Huang wants to match the movie itself with a theme song that can match the theme of the movie. It is best to be a nursery rhyme, but it must also be able to touch the audience's tears and create a sad atmosphere of tears when they hear it.

However, this requirement is too contradictory. Even if it is a nursery rhyme and sadness, it is contradictory.

As we all know, most children's songs are mainly light, cheerful, and carefree melody styles, and there are basically no sad children's songs. Cheng Huang searched for composers in the field of children's songs all over the country, but he did not find a suitable children's song.

It was also a coincidence that "Orchid Grass" became popular at that time, and the name of the Little Music Prince was upgraded to the Prince of Music. Cheng Huang knew that he was famous in the music circle for writing children's songs before, so he felt aroused in his heart and took the initiative to come to the Magic City Art Academy to find the music prince for songs. Perhaps he could find satisfactory children's songs in this music prince?

With his attitude of being a living horse, Cheng Huang came over and found Li Yuefen directly after a while.

After understanding the whole story, Wang Yexin thought no wonder. The person who came here was a director in the film industry and asked for the theme song of the movie, which was very extraordinary.

He calmed down and thought quietly and recalled.

A sad song...that's only that one?

However, he would not give this famous classic nursery rhyme in his previous life casually. If the movie was not excellent enough, he would rather treasure it in his heart forever than release it, so as not to defile the glory of this song in his previous life.

Wang Ye pondered and said seriously:

"Uncle Cheng, I will tell you the truth. I am not as confident as others in writing nursery rhymes, but what you are asking for is a sad song, which is really not easy."

"If possible, I want to take a look at the original movie you have already roughly cut. Maybe I can find some inspiration."

"No problem, of course it's okay. In this way, Yuefen, Xiaoye, let's go now. My original movie is still in the editing room, right in the center of Magic City, not far from this."

"Or why don't we go and have a look now?"

"You, senior, why are you anxious? Let's have lunch together first."

Cheng Huang's head was shaking like a wavy drum.

"How can you not be in a hurry? Yuefen, you don't know."

"Investors have urged them to urge them to 800 times, and they are urging them to be released before the New Year's Day movie schedule this year to make a comeback. I have no choice."

"So that's the case. OK, Xiaoye, let's go."

"Okay, godmother."

Sitting in the car and heading to the editing room, Cheng Huang drove the car while talking about the movie story.

The prototype of the movie story is actually adapted from the folk story "Eighteen Years of the Crazy Girl" decades ago (PS: The parallel world Taiwan Province returned a hundred years ago.).

An orphan girl was lonely since childhood and was buried in a mother, but was raped by her adoptive father. She eventually became a drunkard. She laughed with tears all day long, and was eventually locked in a wooden cage as a madman for eighteen years. Later, it was disclosed by newspapers that she was rescued by kind people in society and received treatment in a relief hospital.

Cheng Huang was also when he was traveling in Taiwan last year. After accidentally hearing this folk story, he was inspired by inspiration and wanted to adapt and make a movie.

For this reason, the investors he was looking for were also middle-aged people in Taiwan, but this year, the economies of Hong Kong and Taiwan provinces were in line with global international finance. Due to the impact of this year's international financial crisis, investors' business failures and capital turnover was not effective.

Investors regretted that they wanted to withdraw their investment, but Cheng Huang's movie was almost done at that time and they had no money to spend. The investor had no choice but to ask Cheng Huang to release the movie as soon as possible and get the box office investment share as soon as possible to extend his life.

After hearing the story of "Eighteen Years of Crazy Girl", Li Yuefen frowned and said:

"What kind of folk story is this? It sounds so miserable. What's the point of shooting?"

"Will there be a box office if you make such a movie? What you want to make is an art film."

"And it will be broadcast on New Year's Day. Isn't this funny? It's more popular for the whole family to watch comedy movies happily during the New Year's Day."

"And why is this story a sad nursery rhyme? Does that crazy woman have a child?"

Cheng Huang held the steering wheel with one hand, lit a cigarette, and sighed:

"No, the crazy girl prototype in the eighteen years of the Crazy Girl has no children, but the plot I adapted has a child in the plot of the movie, and the plot development is different. It just changes the story as the source, throwing away the tragic experience of the Crazy Girl inside, and the story of the crazy girl looking for her mother when she grows up."

"I also went on the plot in flashbacks, probably like this..."

"At the beginning of the story, the protagonist Lin Zhiqiang is a psychiatrist who returned from studying abroad and accidentally found a patient in a mental hospital. He was his mother who had been missing for 18 years..."

"... The young Lin Zhiqiang often secretly went back to the countryside to find his mother. On a stormy night, the young Lin Zhiqiang went to find his mother because of heavy rain. He hid outside the temple to shelter from the rain..."

"When my mother found Lin Zhiqiang, he was already dying..."

"My mother fell down the stairs because of excitement and became a madman..."

"... Finally, 18 years later, Lin Zhiqiang found his mother and finally used a child song with a sad melody to awaken her mother's memory for many years, and finally, the mother and son reunited."
