The director gritted his teeth, "Alright, Da Fei, I'll give you five minutes!"
"My ending theme song has a lot of requirements. It needs to be gentle, to show the male lead's love for the Female Lead. She's the only one of her kind in this world."
"And it needs to lean towards ancient style and lyricism, something catchy."
"The song Most Favorite that Zhilin's team wrote for me is the most suitable."
Li Zhilin sneered, suddenly putting his arm around a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"This is the lyricist and composer, Teacher Wang Xi."
Teacher Wang Xi?
Someone in the cast gasped. The name was familiar. While not a famous singer, Wang Xi was definitely a well-known musician.
Many famous songs were written by Wang Xi, especially those in the ancient style, love-themed songs that basically dominated the theme songs of popular TV dramas.
This time, the two top-tier stars were appearing together, so the ending theme song would naturally be Wang Xi's.
Wang Xi sneered, "Five minutes? To write a song? Da Fei, I originally admired you, but seeing you today, I think you're somewhat overrated. Young and impetuous, huh, hehe."
Facing the musician's sarcasm, the director's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice.
"Da Fei, forget it, apologize, and this matter is over."
For Lin Qiqi's sake, Li Zhilin couldn't do anything to Da Fei. An apology would be enough. This was already a good deal. After all, he had insulted a top-tier celebrity, and this matter could be big or small.
Lin Chudong, however, spoke calmly.
"Teacher Wang Xi? I've heard the songs you've written."
"Most of them are based on the Ninth Chord, with a strong pop feel, plus the lyrics are in the ancient style, so at first listen, it gives people a sense of sophistication."
"But the formulas are always the same. The Ninth Chord is indeed sophisticated, but it's not suitable for frequent use. The best way is to combine the Seventh Chord with other suspended chords."
"Also, I suggest you use Dissonant Chords more often; it can improve your creative habits."
Wang Xi's expression changed slightly. He suddenly felt that Lin Chudong's words made a lot of sense, but with so many people watching, he couldn't ask Lin Chudong for advice, could he?
"Hmph, it's easy to say, I can also talk big, but how much can you apply when it comes to creating?"
"The internet says you, Da Fei, are a musical genius. I'd like to see it today. Five minutes, how can you write a song that surpasses my 'Most Favorite'?"
Lin Chudong didn't waste any more words. "Are there any instruments here?"
Everyone looked around, and a girl raised her hand and said.
"I bought an Electronic Organ for my younger sister, a toy for kids, it's still unopened, can I use it?"
Lin Chudong said, "Yes, can I borrow it?"
The girl handed over a 36-key small Electronic Organ, the kind of thing that costs a few dozen yuan in the supermarket, many parents have bought it for their children.
This kind of Electronic Organ is very cheap, the workmanship is also very poor, and the sound is not very accurate, but in the hands of Lin Chudong, a hall-level expert, he can still make it work.
He put in the batteries, simply tested a few notes, and then said.
"I'm starting?"
Li Zhilin and Wang Xi and others immediately scoffed, "The five minutes you mentioned, does that include the time for the performance? In other words, you want to come up with a song in two minutes?"
"Director, hurry up and use it! A song in two minutes is definitely better than my several months of big production!"
Wang Xi's words were obviously sarcastic, and the director's expression was also very ugly, regretting giving Lin Chudong a chance to speak so rashly.
"Da Fei, you start." The director also accepted his fate; he could just apologize.
Lin Chudong pressed the keyboard, and a series of arpeggios instantly silenced the entire audience.
Just a simple movement of his fingers, and beautiful music immediately emerged.
"Make yesterday all void
Now you are in front of me
I want to love, please give me a chance
If I'm wrong, I'll also bear it
I believe you are the answer ---
我不怕谁嘲笑我极端
相信自己的直觉
顽固的人不喊累 爱上你我不撤退..."
Da Fei's voice was incredibly powerful. There was no microphone, no speakers, not even a decent instrument.
But every corner of the set could clearly hear his voice.
"So good..."
The actors and crew on set didn't understand music, but they could still tell if it sounded good. Every word Da Fei sang was crystal clear, drawing them into the beautiful song.
Wang Xi frowned slightly. This Da Fei really did have some talent.
The progression from the verse to the chorus truly used a dissonant chord, making the listeners' hearts clench. Then, when it returned to the tonic chord, there was a feeling of the heart finally landing.
This method of composing could actually achieve this effect?
Da Fei pressed down hard with both hands, starting the chorus.
But, unfortunately, this cheap Electronic Organ wasn't linear. Regardless of the strength of the press, the sound was the same.
But this didn't affect Da Fei and the listeners' emotions.
"I said, I won't dodge, I have to do this."
"Even if you don't listen, I still have to love, I'll love you even harder to make you understand."
"There's no other way to go, do you decide to be with me?"
"Won't listen to Partiality, love based on my feelings."
"My reliance on you."
"My Partiality for you..."
"Pain is also enjoyable..."
The song ended with a simple second-degree arpeggio.
There was nothing else she could do. The Electronic Organ only had 36 keys, so she couldn't perform much more.
Lin Qiqi looked at him with admiration and shouted,
"Beautiful!"
The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause!
Everyone was moved by the song, as if they were right there, witnessing a passionate love that transcended life and death.
The director was also lost in the music. When he came to his senses, he asked excitedly.
"Da Fei, what's the name of this song?"
Lin Chudong said, "Most Favorite. This is just an Electronic Organ version. I'll add some Guzheng and Pipa later, and the Xianxia flavor will come right out!"
The director was ecstatic and quickly went up to shake Lin Chudong's hand.
"Great! This song is exactly the style I want!"
"It's settled then!"
Li Zhilin snorted and stormed off, while Wang Xi was mortified and quickly followed him.
The director wasn't nervous, after all, he'd signed a contract. Even if Li Zhilin was being difficult, he couldn't just quit.
After he left, the director said, "Right, Da Fei, there's something I need to tell you."
"This song is considered a gift from Zhilin's team. Because his pay isn't low, so, about this song..."
Lin Chudong said, "I understand. I won't charge for this song. Consider it a gift from me to Qiqi's team."
"Oh, Da Fei is really generous. Don't leave tonight, let's have a good drink."
"Come on, everyone, let's celebrate! Da Fei is done!"
"Congratulations to Brother Fei for wrapping up!"
Lin Chudong gave a wry smile. Five minutes of a cameo appearance, and they were holding a wrap-up ceremony? It was too grand.
Lin Qiqi stood to the side, her face flushed red. Her eyes were fixed on the young man in front of her, seeing nothing else.
Song Jing shook her head nearby. It's over. The young lady is really going to fall.
Da Fei, why bother working so hard? Wouldn't it be better to live off of her?
