Chapter 625 Temporary inspiration

It was a brunch with two great directors. It is estimated that many people will envy this opportunity. After all, in terms of their ability to praise people, these two are no worse than any TV drama or movie directors.

But who asked them to show off an artist like Li Menglong who doesn't seek to make progress? To be precise, Li Menglong has no desire to be famous at all, so it's fine to just do something casually.

Fans who have been following him for so many years can occasionally see news about him. No one is tired and everyone is happy. Li Menglong can also produce some works from time to time to give back to everyone. Li Menglong feels that his attitude should be given to all actors in the entertainment industry. People go and learn.

Of course, this unrealistic idea only occurred after thinking about it for a while. Li Menglong devoted all his energy to editing, but when he was halfway through the editing, Li Menglong always felt that something was missing.

This feeling was very troublesome, because Li Menglong couldn't concentrate. He simply went out and planned to go shopping because of his headache. However, it was already late at night, and Li Menglong had no sense of the passage of time at all.

The company was deserted. Li Menglong got a cup of coffee and planned to find someone else to change his mind. As soon as he reached the third floor, he saw that there were still people working in the recording studio. He pushed the door open curiously and saw that there were quite a few people inside. , and the people recording inside were actually Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon.

Sipping his coffee, Li Menglong waved his hands to the two people inside, and then sat down in the back. Just like when shooting for one shot, which may last a whole day, recording a complete song even requires recording each sentence. We strive to have no flaws. Although the audience can rarely hear it, this is the attitude of making music.

Li Menglong still didn't understand what the two of them were recording. Was it a solo album? But why do we record together? It wasn't until he heard the lyrics that Li Menglong came back to his senses. Isn't this the ost of a TV series?

Li Menglong had never heard the music, but he had read the lyrics and even gave a lot of suggestions. Personally speaking, Li Menglong feels that the lyrics of a song are much more important than the song.

The beautiful melody of a song can naturally increase the popularity of the song, but those seem to be external, and the lyrics are the backbone of a song, which ultimately determines what belief the song should convey to the audience.

So Li Menglong asked the girls to write their own lyrics very early, of course because writing lyrics is simpler than composing music, and the lyrics of this OST are undoubtedly extremely inspirational, and coupled with the current somewhat exciting melody, it sounds very exciting.

But the more he listened, the clearer the shadow of suspicion in Li Menglong's mind became, and he fell directly into the long exam.

It wasn't until Li Soonkyu patted him that he woke up: "What's wrong? Is the recording done?"

"Why are you so dumbfounded? Are you amazed by my singing?" Li Shunkyu sat over curiously and asked.

"Don't feel so superior, okay? Although what you said is true!"

"I just like your expression of telling the truth!" Li Shunkyu patted his shoulder approvingly, with a hint of distress in his eyes.

Li Menglong was in very bad condition, with big dark circles under his eyes, and his cheeks had lost a lot of weight. She knew that Li Menglong was actually very tired during the filming of this movie. After all, the crew said that they were all part-timers, and they had to deal with both big and small things. Please tell Li Menglong, even an iron man can't bear it.

However, it can be seen that Li Menglong is in good spirits. According to Kim Taeyeon's self-promotion, this TV series will definitely become popular, and from now on she will be the great actress Kim Taeyeon, so these little idols should pay attention to the attitude when talking to her. Otherwise, don't blame her for being a big name.

"It's okay, the editing will be finished soon. Just rest for two days and you'll be fine!" Li Menglong replied with a smile: "But will your throat be able to handle recording so late?"

"What else? You haven't been here recently, and our schedule can't wait to be scheduled for 25 hours a day!" Kim Taeyeon on the other side also came over and said full of resentment. Of course, it is different from before. After all, most of the money earned from running schedules now belongs to them. While looking at the financial statements that Park Xiangmin gave them every day, they could overcome no matter how tired they were!

"You have the nerve to say that? It's not all your fault. If you hadn't skipped work for half a month, wouldn't we have owed so much travel?"

"You damn dwarf, you have to speak conscientiously. I'm not on the show just for the group's fame!"

"I'll give this back to you! You heartless person, does our group need to go on variety shows now just for fame?" Lee Soon Kyu used his ultimate skill to gain strength, so Kim Taeyeon was speechless.

But the moment he saw Li Menglong, he pushed him out: "He didn't beg me to act, Li Menglong, you owe me a favor!"

"It's a mistake for me to find you a heroine, right? You're not the one to be a white-eyed wolf!" Li Menglong drank coffee leisurely and blocked the words of Li Soonkyu and the other two.

The noisy pressure among the three of them will be much less. The staff who came to record the songs were all smiling. Li Menglong briefly chatted with them. Bi Lian was the OST of the TV series: "How many OSTs are there in total?"

"There is only one duet between Taeyeon and Sunny!"

"That's not right, Yoo Jae Suk..." Li Menglong slapped his forehead mid-sentence. Finally knowing what was wrong, he picked up the phone and called Yoo Jae Suk.

Because of the experience of being pranked last time, Liu Zaishi started to complain when he answered the phone this time. He didn't give Li Menglong time to reply. He was accused for several minutes inexplicably. Li Menglong was really unjust.

"Business? Are you sure? If you lie to me, your sister-in-law will not let you go!" Liu Zaishi believed that the threat was effective, because Luo Jingen always spoke with great weight in Li Menglong's place.

"It's really business. It's about the TV series. Come to the company. I'll call Kim Jong Kook here!" After speaking, Li Menglong made two more calls. Then he looked at the curious Li Soonkyu and explained: "It's just a temporary thing. The idea should be very good.”

They still understood Li Menglong's madness during creation. Besides, compared to other artistic creators, Li Menglong's behavior was simply not normal, so he lazily yawned twice before walking into the recording studio again.

It was another hour later when Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Jong Kook rushed over. Both of them were very angry. If Li Menglong didn't give a suitable reason, he might really die today.

"It's really business. I think the TV series should have a pilot film, which is a music video. You don't need to worry about the details. Anyway, Kim Jong Kook will compose the music and Yoo Jae Suk will write the lyrics. Let's start now!" Li Menglong explained nervously.

"Let's start with your sister!" Kim Jong-guo came up and grabbed his head, trying to make him sober up: "You think songs are just cabbage? You just compose music when you say it? I asked you to write a script for me now, and you can write it. ?”

It was only when Lee Soon-gyu and two others came out that Kim Jong-guk let go and gave him some face, while Lee Meng-ryong rubbed his neck and said slowly: "I don't expect you to write well, just the simplest ballad, don't have too many ups and downs. Just make it simple and easy to sing, otherwise Yoo Jae Suk and the others won’t be able to sing it!”

"Shall we sing?" Liu Zaishi asked, holding a cup of paper and pen that Li Menglong had forced into his hand.

"What else? You write the lyrics and I sing them?" Li Menglong urged wordlessly: "Try to finish it all before noon today. The TV series is almost finished editing. No matter how late it is, we won't be able to catch up!"

Li Menglong is the director first, and it can be said that Wu Chao owes him a favor, so Liu Zaishi and others are very cooperative in this drama, so this second-rate behavior of being called over to write lyrics in the middle of the night seems to be acceptable. .

Another hour passed, and Wu Tiao's group came over one after another. At this time, Li Menglong was composing music with Kim Jong Kook next door. The recording studio was still being used by Li Soonkyu, so the group simply sat on the first floor. .

Yoo Jae Suk was very generous and invited the brothers who came here for the first time to eat fried chicken. This is also his company, Yoo Jae Suk, and SW’s fried chicken is really not too famous. If I have to say SW’s signature, it might be Girls’ Generation. , there may also be Li Menglong, but the boss lady’s fried chicken is definitely indispensable.

"This fried chicken is really good, why don't you open a branch?" As a foodie, Big Fat Brother's comment is very pertinent.

"You can ask yourself later. I'm writing lyrics now. I'm not joking. I'll go up and record the song after writing it for a while!" Liu Zaishi had to give these old guys a snack: "Li Menglong is composing music right now!"

The last sentence is more effective. I have to say that as a director, Li Menglong is quite disapproving of his relatives. There is nothing he can do. If he keeps the same attitude as before, the movie will not be filmed. After all, Li Menglong has to guide the acting skills of these people.

Besides, it was all because of the TV series. They pushed away the fried chicken one by one, then laid out the paper, and then wanted to lie down and sleep.

"What should we write about? What's the theme?" As a musician, Ji knows a lot.

"The theme is just what we have done over the past few years, what do you want to say to yourself, the audience, and Wu Tiao!" Liu Zaishi was a little stunned after he finished speaking, because there were too many memories and it was too painful. .

They know best how Infinite Challenge has gotten through these years. It can be said that there are also low points, and the low points are often when special episodes are released to compete for ratings.

But what are the specials: wrestling, rowing, and catwalks? It can be said that they have achieved unbeatable ratings through specials one after another, and none of these specials made them shed two layers of skin.

If in the first few years everyone was doing Wuchao for the sake of living and fame, then in the last two years they can make easier money in other variety shows. They have already gained a lot of fame and qualifications. .

However, the four words "Infinite Challenge" firmly tied them together. Together with Kim Tae-ho and the seven of them, all of them continued to drag their tired bodies for the sake of those lovely audiences, biting and chewing like they did seven years ago. Teeth persisted.

Liu Zaishi rubbed his stiff cheeks and slowly wrote a sentence on the paper - what he wanted to say to you: Thank you, I'm sorry! We can laugh because we are together!
