Chapter 52: A long distance

"You have talked too much recently and have too much energy. I can arrange more work for you." Gu Jingting suddenly interrupted him, and his eyes looked over. His deep eyes could not see the bottom, which contained the strength and deterrence that belonged to the superiors.

Ruan Qi was used to Gu Jingting like this, without any fear, and continued, "I guess Lin Yike's pay for filming "The Mermaid Princess" is up to six figures. She just went to the hospital for a fever and hung up a bottle of water, so you spent 50 million yuan to improve the heating for the crew. When I gave the money to Chen Wei, he looked at me like he was looking at the sucker... Fortunately, I also put forward an additional condition."

Gu Jingting pursed his firm thin lips, looked at him silently, waiting for his next sentence.

"Chen Wei is a reliable director. There are no messy beds and scenes in the script, only a scene where the male and female protagonists kiss passionately..." Ruan Qi said this and deliberately stopped.

Gu Jingting lowered his eyes, reached out and grabbed the cigarette box on the table, and casually poured out a cigarette.

Ruan Qi felt a little bored and said in a long voice, "It's just a kissing scene, I've asked Chen Wei to delete it."

Gu Jingting didn't say anything, took a sip of the cigarette, and asked, "Is Gu Ziming going back to China?"

The Gu family's little golden grandson has been gilding abroad. Now the Gu family's consortium is about to change hands, so he finally can't sit still and is in a hurry to return to China.

Ruan Qi then put away his joking expression and replied, "I checked it. What can a idle second-generation ancestor do when he comes back? Your old man is not afraid of him making jokes."

Ruan Qi hummed disdainfully.

Gu Jingting held the smoke in his left hand, and the smoke slowly spread in the quiet space. His eyes were dissipated to the point where there was no focal length and his mind was deep.

"Don't underestimate your opponent at any time. Gu Ziming is not an ordinary person. Find someone smart and stare at him." Gu Jingting said.

Ruan Qisui didn't care, but he didn't dare to delay Gu Jingting's instructions at all. "There are no clever men under my command, please be sure to stare at him to death. A young boy with a stinky breast can still turn over the sky."

Gu Jingting didn't say anything, but just gently licked the smoke from his fingertips.

Gu Ziming is not simple, but he has never taken it seriously. For Gu Jingting, his opponent is the old fox hidden behind Gu Ziming.

...

Lin Yike joined the crew for more than a month, and this was the first time Lu Yao came to see her. As an agent, she was indeed a bit dereliction of duty.

In the hotel room, Lin Yike poured a cup of coffee for Lu Yao, and couldn't help complaining: "I thought you threw me into the crew and let me fend for myself."

Lu Yao smiled helplessly, not caring about her eldest lady's temper. "The two newcomers I brought have not been handed over yet. They are indeed very busy during this period. I came this time for this."

After Lu Yao finished speaking, she took out a contract from her handbag and handed it to her. Along with the contract, there was also a musical score.

"Is this?" Lin Yike asked in confusion.

"The theme song of the movie "The Princess of Mermaid" has never been found. Several singers have recorded the song, but Director Chen was not very satisfied, so he thought of you." Lu Yao explained.

Lin Yike also remembered that when he was auditioning, he sang a song "Polaris Star". Director Chen smiled and said, "The little girl sang well."

"It's good to sing. I'm much better at singing than acting." Lin Yike said.

No matter what, she has studied vocal music for several years. Lin Yike held the music score and hummed a few times according to the above stalks. The melody was pretty good.

"Don't be happy too early, the contract is just a sample. Director Chen will give you three days to prepare and record it in three days. He will sign a contract with you only if he feels satisfied."

Lu Yao first poured her a bucket of cold water, telling her not to have too much hope. After all, Director Chen has high requirements and so many professional singers have been passed away by him.

If Lin Yike could sing the theme song of the movie "The Mermaid Princess" this time, then Lu Yao would have to reconsider her future development direction. Of course, this is a later story.

Lin Yike nodded and looked through the music score seriously. He thought to himself: No matter what, this is always a chance.

Lin Yike is much more popular about singing than acting.

Because it is inconvenient to move the piano, she specially asked Milan to find an electronic piano to put it in the room. After work every day, she hid in the room to think about the music.

The theme song of the movie "The Princess of Mermaid" is called "The Distance". The lyricist and composer is Cheng Jian, the current popular music producer and singer.

Because the movie is a tragic scene of the heroine, Director Chen felt that the male vocals were not suitable, so he didn't use the original author to sing. He tried several female singers, but it was not ideal.

"The Princess of the Mermaid" is adapted from the fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea", and the tragedy is a tragedy. Therefore, the tone of the theme song is also mainly tragic.

Lin Yike felt that he should work hard in this regard and strive to use his voice to interpret the helplessness and despair of the heroine Yiduo that he could not get.

Director Chen only gave her three days. On the third day, Director Chen did not arrange her play, but asked Lu Yao to take her to the recording studio to record sample songs.

This is the first time Lin Yike has entered a professional studio, and he is in an unavoidable mood of excitement and novelty.

The recording engineer knew that she was a newcomer when he saw her appearance. He was a little impatient. However, Lin Yike's appearance was originally simple and harmless, and he was very humble and polite. He called out to the teacher one by one. The recording engineer was very helpful and always patiently guided her.

Lin Yike tried it first before starting the official recording.

She stood alone in the closed recording studio, holding the music score in her hand, took a deep breath, and gestured to the recording engineer outside the glass window with an OK gesture.

Then, it rang slowly and Lin Yike closed his eyes and followed the prelude to find a feeling. He hummed softly at the microphone.

The farthest distance in the world is me and you.

The longing of the ocean is in the sky, and my longing is by your side.

I can't walk towards you with my legs spread out. Fish fall in love with birds and are destined to have no end.

The salty sea water is the tears of my love for you, the howling sea breeze is my cry of despair.

I want to accompany you, the ends of the world, but it’s just a dream.

When the dream woke up, the fog dissipated, the sky cleared, everything was destined to be empty.

...

The recording process was quite smooth, and Lu Yao accompanied her throughout the process. However, although she had been an agent for many years, she was not good at music, so she could only ask the recording engineer.

"Old Xu, do you think you can pass the test?"

The recording engineer didn't dare to guarantee this matter, but just told the truth, "The little girl has a good voice and is very talented, and is much better than the female singers who came to record the previous times. However, the producer also invited the queen Li Man to sing this theme song. So, who will eventually fall depends on Director Chen's choice."

After the recording was over, Lin Yike and Lu Yao left.
