Chapter 1975 When you get old

Is it still necessary for Ye Ming to read the script of Golden Wedding?

This is a classic TV series. Ye Ming has watched it not just once, but at least three times.

However, even if it is just a joke, it still needs to be looked at.

Although the TV series script given by Zheng Xiaolong was not a complete script, but just a summary of the plot of the episodes, even if it was like this, it was enough.

At this point, Ye Ming took a rough look, and the scene fell into silence.

At this time, Ye Ming was reading his notebook, and it was naturally difficult for others to speak. After all, it would be bad if it affected Ye Ming's reading of the book.

Although Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong did not expect Ye Ming to write lyrics and music immediately, no matter what, it was a polite matter to ask Ye Ming to look through the book.

And Zhang Guoli was brought over to accompany the guest. Jiang Wenli was also a guest herself, so naturally she couldn't say much.

As for Zhao Baozi, she has the closest relationship with Ye Ming, but no matter what, in such a situation, she has no courage to disturb her boss.

Therefore, under such a special situation, the box at the scene became very quiet, as quiet as if you could hear a pin drop.

Therefore, in such a situation, it took three minutes for Ye Ming to basically read it from beginning to end. The speed was relatively fast, and it looked like ten lines at a glance.

But Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong are both screenwriters. They know that in this industry, as a screenwriter, if you want to read a script, you can’t say that you must read ten lines at a glance, but no matter what it is, a quick glance can give you a rough idea. Knowing exactly what this book is about is a basic skill for a screenwriter.

Therefore, Ye Ming quickly looked at the book and found that this did not arouse anyone's suspicion at all.

This is because Ye Ming deliberately extended the time. If Ye Minggu did not extend the time intentionally, then at this time, he could end browsing in ten or twenty seconds.

But regarding a question like this, Ye Ming also showed a kind of moved emotion after reading it and said: "This is indeed a good book and has the potential to become a classic. Moreover, in recent years, There are no similar themes at all. If we look at it from a market perspective, the market is now in a hungry state.

Therefore, I would not be surprised at all if this book becomes popular.

Basically he has all the conditions to be popular. "

If "Golden Wedding" were placed more than ten years later, I dare not say whether it would be popular, because at that time, all the people born in the 1990s and the post-00s generation became the main body of the ratings.

At that time, it will be the world of little fresh meat.

Therefore, if the Golden Wedding is filmed more than ten years later, it will be very easy for it to become popular. After all, it is a classic theme, but it is difficult to say whether it will be as popular as it is now.

In 2006, 2007, basically speaking, at this time, those born in the 1970s and 1980s were still able to dominate the ratings. Therefore, in this time period, Golden Wedding is a TV series that became popular at a specific time and place.

Don't underestimate this luck. Just like Wolf Warrior 2, no one can deny that this is a good military-themed movie, but if it were not released under that specific environment and at a specific time period, would the box office hit 5 billion? It's hard to say.

Therefore, under such a situation, the popularity of a TV series also depends on luck.

Being able to become famous all over the country requires a certain amount of luck. At this point, no matter what it is, the timing of a TV series' release is also quite important.

What Ye Ming said is actually from the perspective of a screenwriter and a producer.

Zheng Xiaolong immediately nodded and said: "We also did some research before filming. To be honest, there are not many TV series with similar themes. The Golden Wedding era spans a long time, but this choice is relatively risky. , it’s hard to say whether it will be accepted by the audience. If you push it further, you basically have to find where you want it.”

Although what Zheng Xiaolong said is accepted by the audience, it is difficult to say whether it is sincere or not. Zheng Xiaolong's ambition is still very high.

At this point, Ye Ming can see it.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Well, Director Zheng, actually, if you want to create a theme song, I think it is relatively easy, but if you want to create a theme song, it must be suitable for your TV series. , I have a poem here, a poem written by a foreigner, almost a poem from more than a hundred years ago, it seems, right?

The general content is relatively consistent with your TV series.

Now you have two choices. One is my own original song, and I guarantee the quality. But it’s really hard to say whether it will definitely fit your TV series.

But I think the poem I adapted is very, very suitable for your needs. Look, choose one of these two outcomes, right? "

Ye Ming is quite a face-giver. He came to my door and asked to write a song. If Ye Ming could write it at this time, it would be a great face-giver.

I don’t know how many people now think that Ye Ming can write a song for him, and the subject matter is not limited. This time, Ye Ming felt that this poem was indeed very suitable for this TV series. At this point, he gave two choices.

Zheng Xiaolong was a little hesitant about his choice. After thinking about it, he said: "In this matter, it is mainly better to match the subject matter. After all, we just want the TV series to attract more viewers, right?"

Ye Ming nodded and said: "I promise there is no problem with this. Everyone will definitely think of the TV series Golden Wedding when they hear this song. If you choose to change it, I will give you the lyrics and music now."

This is genius. Writing should be done right now. Ordinary people don’t have the courage.

Zheng Xiaolong, Feng Xiaogang and others are all people in the entertainment industry. Although they are not songwriters, no matter what they are, they also know that a songwriter must have inspiration at a time like this. I will write a song later.

This kind of inspiration doesn’t just exist. Therefore, it is normal to have one song for a month. But Ye Ming has to write now, and he has to improvise on the spot.

Ye Ming glanced at Zhao Baozi and said, "Xiao Zhao, let me use your notebook."

Zhao Baozi has been thinking about Ode to Joy recently. In a situation like this, bringing a notebook is just for fear that his inspiration will suddenly come out and then be forgotten.

This is also a method that Ye Ming told a few of them, that is, this method is used by Ode to Joy and Five Beauties in such a matter.

Therefore, Ye Ming knew that Zhao Baozi carried a notebook with him. This eliminates the need to ask the waiter for pen and paper, otherwise it would be troublesome to go back and forth.

Zhao Baozi nodded and took out a notebook and oil pen from his bag. It was not a carbon pen, but an ordinary oil pen.

It turned out to be the kind of red oil pen that teachers often use when correcting homework.

Zhao Baozi is quite individual in this aspect, and the things he uses are very unique.

Only then did Ye Ming explain: "This poem is called When You Get Old.

I just thought about it. It was a poem written by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats in 1893 and addressed to his crush Maut Gunny.

It is quite a classic and can be regarded as one of the poet's masterpieces. "

Speaking of Yeats, he was actually a hot-headed man who liked Maut Gunny, but others didn't like him. The result was almost the same as Lin Huiyin and Jin Yuelin's bloody love affair.

The difference is that Jin Yuelin is really short-sighted. He waited for Lin Huiyin all his life but there was no result.

As for Yeats, although he also had a crush on Mautganny, no matter what it was, he still knew that he would marry a wife and have children to continue the bloodline of the William family.

So this is where Yeats was great as a man.

I love you, but it has nothing to do with you. Everyone said that Lin Huiyin was great and good. As a result, looking at the men around her, Xu Zhimo died in the plane crash because of Lin Huiyin.

Don't say you don't know why Xu Zhimo died in the plane crash. And Jin Yuelin never got married because of Lin Huiyin.

It's hard to say that there was no Lin Huiyin factor in this matter. Anyway, for this kind of thing, an upright official will cut off family affairs, not to mention this is a four-cornered love affair.

And anyway, there are some doubts about who the real author of April Day in the World is. April Day in the World seems to be written for lovers, and it is written by a man to a woman.

If a female poet can write this kind of poetry, she can be regarded as a super genius.

But apart from this poem, does Lin Huiyin have any worthy works?

Of course, this is Ye Ming's answer from a purely literary perspective and has nothing to do with anything else. Maybe it was actually written by Lin.

Anyway, Yeats also encountered a similar problem with this kind of thing. The woman he likes doesn't like him. You can use a more deceptive saying nowadays: My girlfriend is getting married, and the groom is not me.

What's even more deceptive is that Maute Gunny simply rejected Yeats's pursuit at that time. It can be said that Maute Gunny was not Yeats's girlfriend at all.

However, Yeats still wrote such a great work as When You Are Old. What was actually returned was a work written for Mautganny.

However, this poem can indeed be called great.

After Ye Ming explained this, he immediately wrote out the lyrics of this song. They are basically the same as the poem When You Get Old, with just a few slight modifications.

This is basically consistent with the future song When You Get Old.

Zheng Xiaolong was very surprised. In less than five minutes, even if there was poetry as a basis, it was quite rare for Ye Ming to be able to write the song so quickly in terms of self-installation.

At this time, when Zheng Xiaolong saw this song, he was shocked.

[When you get old, your hair turns gray and you become sleepy.

When you get old and can't walk anymore, take a nap by the fire and reminisce about your youth. How many people have loved you when you were singing happily in youth, and admired your beautiful pretense or sincerity.

Only one person still loves your pious soul and the wrinkles on your old face.

When you are old and your eyebrows are drooped, the lights are dim and the wind blows your news, this is the song in my heart.

How many people have admired your youthful singing moments, your beautiful pretense or sincerity, but only one person still loves your pious soul and the wrinkles on your old face. 】

This is a very classic song, poetry is a very classic song, and this song is also a very classic song.

The kind that can impress people very much. As the director of the TV series Golden Wedding, Zheng Xiaolong can certainly be said to have a well-thought-out approach to the entire TV series.

Therefore, at this time, when he read this song, he could really feel that this song was really written for the TV series Golden Wedding.

If Golden Wedding cannot use this song as its theme song, then under such circumstances, Zheng Xiaolong believes that it would be better for Golden Wedding to not have a theme song.

This song can be said to have truly conquered Zheng Xiaolong.

At this moment, Zheng Xiaolong said very excitedly: "It's great, it's great. Thank you Mr. Ye for writing such a good song, which makes our TV series so brilliant."

It can be said that with a song like this, our TV series will be truly complete at this time. Otherwise, a good TV series without good songs would always feel like something is missing. "

This seems to be equivalent to Bao Qingtian’s new mandarin duck and butterfly dream. It is equivalent to Xinbai's "A Thousand Years of Waiting", equivalent to "Huanzhugege" in Rain Butterfly, equivalent to "Journey to the West" Dare to Ask Where is the Way, etc.

Classic TV series are always accompanied by a familiar classic theme song. TV series and theme songs complement each other.

After all, TV dramas cannot be played everywhere, but the theme songs can be heard anywhere.

For example, if you heard Wu Ningmei at this time, you must have arrived at the great Red Mansion first, and thought of Sister Lin, Sister Bao, etc. This is the blessing of classic theme songs to TV series.

In Zheng Xiaolong's opinion, his TV series lacks a classic song that can be widely circulated.

But now, after meeting Ye Ming and having a theme song, it can really be said to be even more powerful.

This theme song can be said to be tailor-made for the TV series Golden Wedding.

Could it be said that this is the kind of coincidence in fate?

Anyway, Zheng Xiaolong is now in such a state of mind that his mouth is crooked, and he is very happy, as if he has eaten honey.
