Rebirth of the King of Shadow Emperor and Singer

Chu Xiuning, Chu Zikai and Qi Tianba have reached a tripartite agreement, and there are still some details to be negotiated, especially Lu Yuming's termination of the contract.It is not difficult to terminate the contract with a potential artist, the difficulty is how to do it quietly.

Compared with his own contract, what Lu Yuming has to convince now is not easy.

Outside his living room, there was a stone table under the corridor, and the chairs faced the courtyard. Ke Yan sat quietly, watching the deer singing in the courtyard.The running water drips through the bamboo slices into the bamboo tube below, the water overflows, the bamboo tube tilts, and the bamboo tube hits the stone below, making a bang.

The sound of running water is music, and so is the crash of deer.

Ke Yan listened intently.

Lu Yuming put the tea on the stone table: "Is this voice very rhythmic?"

When chatting with Ke Yan, you must pay attention to the skill of asking questions, otherwise it will be difficult to get a response.But Lu Yuming just invited him, and Ke Yan came, without mentioning musical instruments or other things.This is already quite flattering.

Ke Yan looked up, very happy: "Well! The rhythm is based on the speed of the water! The water flow is affected by the surrounding environment, this is the most natural sound."

Lu Yuming sat down on the chair next to Ke Yan and concluded: "Lu Ming is a musical instrument."

Ke Yan nodded in agreement.

If possible, Lu Yuming would not mind watching Luming with Ke Yan for an afternoon.But not now, it is not easy for Ke Yan to come here once, Lu Yuming needs to discuss more important matters with Ke Yan - Edgar's contract renewal.

Lu Yuming picked a question that Ke Yan would answer, and said, "Ke Yan, Kitazaki Yuan said that you have started composing music for others recently?"

"Yeah." Ke Yan nodded, "It was after the last reception."

The reception that Ke Yan mentioned was after the Golden Film Awards ceremony. It was the first time that Lu Yuming participated in the Golden Film Awards. Yan Anbang was teased at the time. Yan composes according to nature.Ke Yan's talent was finally discovered by everyone, Yu Mao could no longer stop Ke Yan, and Ke Yan quickly became Edgar's number one composer.He had actually turned to the backstage, but he didn't care.

"Only Edgar asked you to write a song?"

"Company? Not just, I don't know many people. Usually they find Lao Bei." If Ke Yan's head is divided into disks like a computer, there will probably be only one disk, which says "Music".Others look for Bei Qi Yuan, Bei Qi Yuan will help him take care of the income, but Ke Yan doesn't care.

However, after the manager was replaced by Kita Qi Yuan, it seemed that Kita Qi Yuan took good care of Ke Yan.

"Then do you want to stay in the company forever?" Lu Yuming decided to say it straight, "Beizaki Yuan said that your contract is about to expire, you know it? Lu Yuming helped you renew the contract back then."

Ke Yan frowned slightly.

Lu Yuming regretted it a little. After Zero became famous, Yu Mao and Ke Yan quarreled over the song, and they didn't want to keep Ke Yan.Ke Yan didn't care about these things, and later he helped Ke Yan sign a long-term contract.As soon as Lu Yuming said it, Ke Yan immediately signed it without even looking at the contract.Tell him now, can Ke Yan have this concept?

Fortunately, Ke Yan recalled: "Xiao Lu asked me to sign a piece of paper, and let me put it in the piano case."

"Well, that's the contract. In fact, I came today to persuade you not to renew the contract." Lu Yuming breathed a sigh of relief, and said his thoughts, "As for the reason, neither Edgar nor Yu Mao will get better in the future. , if you stay there, you will be affected."

In fact, Ke Yan didn't need to explain. Lu Yuming thought about the specific link: "At that time, someone will notify you to renew the contract. If you don't renew the contract, you have to refuse."

"But Xiaolu asked me to sign. Why should I refuse?" Ke Yan took it for granted.

Lu Yuming said bitterly: "At that time, Lu Yuming asked you to sign the contract because he was afraid that you would lose money. Now I hope you don't renew the contract, which is also true. However, the decision is yours."

"If Xiaolu was here, wouldn't you let me sign?"

"En." Lu Yuming nodded firmly.

Ke Yan blinked: "Oh, then reject them."

Not even thinking.Of course it would be good for Ke Yan to readily agree, but it went so smoothly, but it was a bit unexpected.

"You just agree." Lu Yuming was not surprised.This shows that Ke Yan trusts herself, why trust?Don't ask, let Ke Yan answer such a question, it is better to let him write a song impromptu.

Lu Yuming warned again: "If you refuse to renew the contract, many people will come to persuade you. I'm not afraid of this, but the work may be reduced..."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuming was also worried.I want to fight Yu Mao, in order to keep Ke Yan away from the center of the battle and not to be implicated, it is best not to renew the contract, but the reduction in income is also inevitable.What should Ke Yan do without Kitazaki Yuan to take care of his work?

Lu Yuming was worrying when the door rang.

Chu Xiuning walked in: "Xiao Lu, I brought dinner back...Huh, Ke Yan?"

Chu Xiuning immediately pretended to pass by as if nothing had happened: "The door..."

"Ke Yan is not an outsider, it doesn't matter." Lu Yuming waved his hand, turned his head and told, "Don't tell others about the fact that I live with Chu Xiuning."

Ke Yan nodded and looked at Chu Xiuning curiously.

Chu Xiuning walked up to Lu Yuming: "I forgot that I have a guest today. How is the persuasion going?"

There was no secret between the two of them, and Chu Xiuning naturally knew that Lu Yuming wanted to persuade Ke Yan not to renew the contract.

"Ke Yan has already agreed. However, I suddenly remembered an important issue. If the contract is not renewed, Edgar's job invitation will be lost, and his work will be affected."

"That's not true. As far as I know, Edgar still thinks highly of him. If you don't renew the contract, Edgar will probably find him." Chu Xiuning said, and suddenly stopped, "Has Ke Yan ever written film music?"

Lu Yuming immediately understood what Chu Xiuning was thinking, and said proudly, "Ke Yan can write anything!"

Turning around, Lu Yuming immediately issued an invitation: "Ke Yan, there is a movie, would you like to take the soundtrack?"

"What movie?" Ke Yan asked.

"Wake you up." Lu Yuming only said four words.

Ke Yan's eyes lit up immediately: "Xiao Lu likes it!"

"Yes!" Lu Yuming told Ke Yan a lot of this story back then, and he was confident that Ke Yan would take over and compose the film.

"Okay!" Ke Yan agreed immediately.

Chu Xiuning was surprised: "It's so refreshing. I'll prepare the contract after Ke Yan and Edgar's contract expires. Well, I'll prepare the script, shot script, and samples as soon as possible."

Ke Yan added: "There is also a director."

Film soundtrack composition is different from general composition. The theme of the film, the character of the characters, dramatic conflicts, and even the era, scene, and director's style are all factors to be considered in composition.

Chu Xiuning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will also cooperate with your work. I happen to have some materials here, you can study it first."

Apart from talking about Hua Rui these days, Chu Xiuning is planning "Wake You Up".With the help of Lu Yuming in the preliminary work, the materials compiled by the two can be described as meticulous. In terms of film music, Lu Yuming even showed his skills. He doesn't know how to compose music, but he is very sensitive to the places that need soundtracks.

Chu Xiuning fetched the materials and sat down at the small stone table with the two of them.

Ke Yan took the materials, flipped through them quickly, and was stunned for a while after reading them.Chu Xiuning went in without knowing it, and Lu Yuming gave him a wink, indicating to wait for a while.

Ke Yan fumbled in his pockets all over his body, and unexpectedly found a blues harmonica, wiped it and started to play.

The melody is melodious, with the ups and downs of the tone, the blue sky, the soft sunlight, the vast hills, and the endless grass meandering into the distance.

The music depicts a scene in the movie, a beautiful field with a Scottish style.

After the song was over, Ke Yan looked at Lu Yuming and Chu Xiuning: "Is that so?"

Lu Yuming nodded: "That's it."

"What a genius." Chu Xiuning smiled, "Pan Chang heard it, so he must hug me."

Ke Yan bowed his head in silence, and fiddled with the materials again.Chu Xiuning smiled, patted Lu Yuming on the shoulder, and motioned for him to leave first.Lu Yuming sat down with Ke Yan again.

Ke Yan asked for a pen and concentrated on looking through the materials.

Lu Yuming looked at Ke Yan in a daze, and thought of Ke Yan standing side by side on the stage in the past, Ke Yan holding the bass and playing.Bass is the most fundamental part of the band, like the most solid bottom of a pyramid.On top of the steady bass, the other instruments spread out, and only then did the stage shine.If Lu Yuming is the most dazzling and exciting part of Zero, without him, Zero would be ordinary; then Ke Yan is the foundation of Zero, without him, the band would cease to exist.

But bass is the foundation, and it is easy to be ignored. On the stage, everyone is better than Ke Yan.People who like him often like his quiet personality off stage.

Lu Yuming realized that he didn't seem to have asked before, was Ke Yan happy when he was on stage?

"Ke Yan, do you like composing music more than bands?" Lu Yuming asked.

Ke Yan raised his head, blinked, and shook his head: "It's the same."

"Why?" Lu Yuming was surprised, "You are only a supporting role on stage, but you are the lead in composing."

"It's good on stage." Ke Yan thought for a while and then added, "It's just when Xiaolu is around. He's a good instrument. Originally the song was thin, but when he sang it, he gained weight."

Lu Yuming laughed.

Ke Yan thought of other things: "Thank you for the recording you gave me last time."

"You're welcome." Lu Yuming hesitated, and finally asked a very sad question, "Ke Yan, if Zero is gone in the future, would you still want to perform on stage?"

Zero is almost disbanded now, Yu Mao's acting and Li Junyou's keyboard have been scandalized and quit.Only Zheng Tao and Ke Yan were left.

"No. Zero will not be disbanded." Ke Yan tilted his head, "We will have a new keyboard player. Although I hate Yu Mao's voice, Zero will not be disbanded."

"The new keyboard player?" Lu Yuming was surprised, "Who is it?"

"I'm a student."

"Qu Hao?"

Qu Hao is the youngest among Lu Yuming's newcomers in the same class, and Lu Yuming became acquainted with him during the filming of the TV series "Chenxiang Draws the Soul".Xiaozheng was so noisy that he wanted to learn guitar, Lu Yuming thought the kid was good, so he introduced him to Ke Yan.Although they belong to different companies, it is normal for artists to know each other in private.After that, every time Qu Hao saw Lu Yuming, he would thank him once, and then praise his master, who went to heaven and earth, and was number one in the world.

"No, it's Su Jiu."

"Isn't your student Qu Hao? How did you become Su Jiu?" Lu Yuming asked after her.

"Oh, Qu Hao learns guitar, and Su Jiu learns keyboard. Su Jiu was brought by Tao Ling, she is suitable for keyboard." Ke Yan said.

When I first met Su Jiu, she wore a bass pendant unique to Ke Yan fans around her neck, and that was one of the reasons why Lu Yuming chose to cooperate with her.It was reasonable for Tao Ling to lead her to see Ke Yan, what to learn probably was determined by Ke Yan.but--

"Yu Mao wants to turn his focus back to the band?" Lu Yuming asked solemnly.If this is the case, he will also modify the plan and shift the focus.

That's right, from the movie "Overthrowing the Eagle's Nest", when I met Yu Mao again, to the later MV, and then to the TV series "Agarwood Draws the Soul", Yu Mao's ghost lingers, because Qi Ran's competition wants to hinder Lu Yuming.Lu Yuming's acting skills were not perfect at the time, so he had to deal with it, but now it's different, this time he wants to take the initiative!

Therefore, he must care about Yu Mao's movements.

"Not really. He wants to make a movie." Ke Yan was not very happy, "Old Bei said that it would be good for Zero to be on stage again."

"A windy summer?" Lu Yuming frowned, "You two want to play together? Do you want to play?"

"And the soundtrack composition."

Lu Yuming was stunned, and his heart was churning.

Should have thought of this earlier.Since the movie claims to be a tribute to his former self, Yu Mao naturally wants to pull Zero to sensationalize.Ke Yan didn't know the embarrassment of this.

Lu Yuming gritted her teeth and looked at Ke Yan: "Ke Yan, have you read the script?"

Ke Yan shook his head.

Lu Yuming looked towards the courtyard and calmed down with the sound of deer singing.

Lu Yuming solemnly said to Ke Yan: "Ke Yan, you may not care about the script. But I still want to tell you the truth."

As Lu Yuming expected, Ke Yan really doesn't care where the script comes from, but he cares what the script is about!

After Lu Yuming finished retelling the plot of "A Summer with Wind", Ke Yan was dazed for a long time after listening to it, and pushed away the material: "Is what you said true?"

"Well, you can confirm after you get the script."

Ke Yan's disappointed look is actually no longer suspicious of Lu Yuming, but simply dislikes it.

Just like what Chu Xiuning said, this is not a script that should be filmed.There is nothing wrong with the script itself, but the story is a secondary injury to those who care about Lu Yuming.

In the end, Ke Yan said: "I hate this script."

Not long after, "Windy Summer" announced the participation of the band Zero, and Su Jiu played the electric keyboard player as a guest, and the script has been released.The new film is scheduled to start within half a month. "The Windy Summer" became a hit at the time.But half a month later, the crew has yet to start the show.

Fans waited for a while, and finally another news came: Ke Yan refused all activities related to the movie, and the crew looked for another bass player.Project postponement.

While Yu Mao was still desperately persuading Ke Yan, the preparations for "Wake You Up" were progressing smoothly. Pan Chang happily returned from the United States and brought back a special effects team.
