Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry - Chapter 570

c570 568 “We are all people who return at night”

It’s not really nervous at all.

This is a proper life drama. There are no special effects. It mainly involves editing, sound effects, and dubbing. Yu Dongqing requires the actors to play part of the characters in a certain dialect, which requires them to find dialects during post-production. for dubbing.

The other thing is the theme song.

In a sense, this is my own original TV series, with some twists of course.

On this day, Yu Dongqing and Mingliang came back from Qisheshu Creative Park. The family had dinner, and Yu Dongqing went to his recording studio to start writing songs.

Open the computer composition software Notation and prepare to work.

At this time, the door opened, and you could tell from your steps that your daughter-in-law was coming, without having to look back.

He was also carrying a thermos bottle.

“So hardworking?” Mingliang said with a teasing tone.

“This is a TV series that I wrote and directed myself, so it definitely requires some effort.”

“It seems like you didn’t take those photos before.” Meiliang said angrily.

Oops

Wrong understanding.

But there’s no way to explain it.

Yu Dongqing coughed to cover up.

Of course, Meimei is not here to cause trouble but to make tea.

As long as Yu Dongqing is sitting in the piano room, as long as she is at home, she will do the tea making work. Usually, the nanny is not allowed to come over, for fear of disturbing his work.

I saw her taking out Yu Dongqing’s teacup, skillfully picking out some tea leaves from the tea box, pouring half a cup of boiling water to wash the tea, and then brewing a cup of steaming tea and bringing it to Yu Dongqing, watching by the way. glanced at the song he was writing.

“Are they all late at night? This song title is very catchy, and it also fits the TV series.” Mingliang praised it.

Yu Dongqing had just written half of the lyrics and the music hadn’t been scored yet. After hearing what Meimei said, she asked, “Do you want to hear me sing?”

“Okay. I like to hear you sing the most.” Meiliang said.

From the time she first fell in love with the girl until now, her feelings for Yu Dongqing have never changed.

Yu Dongqing stood up and took off the guitar hanging on the wall, sat on a stool and started playing and singing softly.

It’s freezing time

midnight night

The past is like a shooting star passing through my heart in an instant

The gray night is a lonely world

Feeling a little bit familiar, a little bit wild

Your love has been blurred and your sadness is still clear

So we wandered in this night city

Hesitant, hesitant

The confused are confused

It turns out that in that time and space, Singaporean musician Chen Jiaming wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and Xu Meijing sang the song “We Are All People Returning at Night”.

It is also the theme song of the Singapore TV series of the same name and the ending theme of the movie version of “Midnight Diner”.

The song that everyone is most familiar with is probably the song “Moonlight in the City”.

Yu Dongqing originally thought that she was a compatriot from the motherland’s treasure island, but she didn’t expect that she was a Singaporean. With a slightly decadent voice, she performed the urban life encounters and inner feelings.

Now Yu Dongqing sings it with his own slightly hoarse voice, which seems to have a more market-like atmosphere.

“This song is so nice!” Meiliang praised it after listening to it: “Is this the theme song of the TV series?”

“No, it’s the ending song. It will also be released in advance as a promotional song for the TV series. I plan to let Wu Jingqi sing it.” Yu Dongqing expressed his thoughts.

“What about the theme song?” Meiliang asked further.

“I haven’t thought about it yet.”

It turns out that the TV version of “Midnight Diner” has an opening song, “Behind the Light” sung by Jam Hsiao, which is very nice, but Yu Dongqing wanted to find a more atmospheric song and couldn’t decide yet.

Don’t be in a hurry, there is plenty of time.

Time passed by like this, and another year passed. All production of “Late Night Diner” has been completed.

Yu Dongqing’s studio and Hong Kong Star Records jointly released the promotional song for “Late Night Canteen” – “We Are All Night People” to warm up the TV series.

Once the song was released, it immediately appeared on the major music charts on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

It is now eleven o’clock in the evening, the wife and son have gone to bed, and the nanny has also fallen asleep. Yu Dongqing is sitting alone in his study, drinking tea and quietly listening to the song playing on the stereo.

It was completely silent outside, except for Wu Jingqi’s slightly sleepy and cold voice.

Yu Dongqing suddenly discovered that after Wu Jingqi became a rich wife, the number of songs released was significantly less, but her singing skills became more mature and mellow.

It sounds so sweet, like telling a story.

Perhaps, having no worries about food and clothing, staying away from the right and wrong of the entertainment industry, and less eager for quick success and instant gain, he appears more calm and leisurely.

In fact, in the original time and space, Yu Dongqing rarely listened to this song.

This is the last song on the B-side of my first pop music tape, “98 Golden Hits,” when I was in high school. The tape is worn out, but the songs are still in my heart.

Yu Dongqing suddenly thought that in this time and space, most of the songs he wrote came from the original time and space of the 1980s and 1990s.

No wonder someone in that time and space once said something like this: Only music has not treated those born in the 7080s badly.

Yu Dongqing suddenly became interested, and he translated all the songs he had “transported” into the original time and space and listened to them one by one.

“Love Song 1980”, “Love Song 1990”, “Young Jinshi”, “Story of Time” and “Old Boy”.

Yu Dongqing leaned on the swivel chair, closed her eyes slightly, and listened quietly. The scenes in this time and space slowly emerged in her mind along with the music in the dead of night.

The door creaked open, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Yu Dongqing opened his eyes, and it turned out that Mingliang walked in wearing a cotton coat and asked with concern:

“Husband, it’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

“Suddenly I want to listen to old songs.”

Meili closed the door, snuggled gently next to Yu Dongqing, and listened quietly.

I heard the sound of water coming,

Like the sobbing river in the dream

I see someone’s steps walking away,

Cover the sad eyes when saying goodbye

What I don’t understand is why you are willing,

Let the wind and dust shape your appearance

Like a world that has long forgotten its love,

I once had your name and my voice

“how you look like”

“Husband, do you want to sing again?” Meiliang asked suddenly.

Yu Dongqing opened her eyes and looked at her, smiling:

“After several years of film and television shooting, I’m a little tired. It’s better to just sing and be happy.”

“Husband, then just sing.”

“No rush, let’s finish the TV series first. It’s cold, so go back to bed.” Yu Dongqing said.

“Um”

Yu Dongqing turned off the lights, locked the door, and the two of them walked towards the bedroom leaning against each other.

Riding on the craze caused by the song “We Return at Night”, in accordance with the “one drama, two stars” policy stipulated by the relevant departments, the first round of broadcast rights of this TV series were sold to Huangdu Film and Television and CCTV, and will be broadcast during prime time Played and received copyright income of 60 million.

In other words, this TV series has made a guaranteed profit of 30 million. This is the first round of broadcasting. If the effect is good, it can be sold to other TV stations for the second or third round of broadcasting.

On February 4th, the first night of the Lunar New Year, “Late Night Diner” officially landed on the two major TV stations, Huangdu and CCTV, during the prime time at 8pm.
