Among the entire Yuncheng audition contestants, it seems that only Chen Ming has achieved a high score of over 95 points, making Chen Ming the only one in his class.
At this moment, Tong Ran felt that being friends with Chen Ming was a wise decision!
Du Keke, who was held in Tong Ran's arms, was still reminiscing about Chen Ming's song. After savoring it carefully, he felt that "Chasing Dreams" was so burning.
Suddenly, Du Keke turned around and asked: "Tongtong, I remember your father is the director of the TV station, right?"
Tong Ran was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"You told me not long ago that China Central Television wanted to make a struggle propaganda film, but it lacked an opening song."
"I think this is good!"
Du Keke said seriously.
Hearing this, Tong Ran sat up straight and began to think deeply.
Struggle promotional video.
Naturally, he calls on contemporary young people not to be Buddhists, but to work hard and keep fighting.
The current situation of young people in China is almost the same as that of young people on the earth today. They all live their own lives and no longer expect excessive consumption.
Low desire, low consumption.
For this reason, China attaches great importance to this announcement film. After all, young people are the hope of the country's future.
If young people no longer look forward to the future, then the future of the country will be very worrying!
After nearly two years of shooting and production, the complete version of the promotional video is ready to be released, but the opening and ending songs cannot be finalized.
I really can’t find the right one!
In this era, songs about love accounted for 89% of the music scene, while the topic of ideals was rarely mentioned by musicians.
The old generation’s ideal songs are too cliche and cannot arouse the passion and enthusiasm of the young people.
After a lot of back and forth, this promotional video was shelved!
Tong Ran didn't think about it for too long. He was not a person who just wanted to stop doing something. He only knew whether everything would work or not by trying it.
So, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Dad."
"Uncle, I, Coco~"
As soon as Tong Ran finished speaking, Du Keke squeezed over and shouted loudly.
Originally, the boy's father was not very happy because the brat from his family came to Yuncheng from Kyoto without even saying hello.
But when I heard Du Keke's voice, I instantly became happy!
"Keke, Tongran didn't bully you, did she?"
"If he is dishonest, tell your uncle and he will whip him for you!"
Du Ke laughed and replied: "No, Tongtong is very well-behaved."
Tong Ran:.......
Seeing this, Tong Ran hurriedly changed the subject: "Dad, I have something to tell you."
There was a slight noise from the boy's father's side, and after a sound of slippers being moved, a woman's voice rang out.
"Tongran's phone call?"
"Your son's."
"Let me tell you."
Hearing this, Tong Ran on the other end of the phone quickly put the phone away from his ear.
Sure enough, a Hedong lion roared: "Tongran, where did you little brat go? Do you still have me as your mother in your heart? See if I can slap you when I come back!!"
"Speak, don't pretend to be dumb!!"
Du Keke covered her red lips and suppressed a smile.
Tong Ran looked embarrassed: "Mom, didn't I just call back?"
Then, Du Keke spoke again, then lowered Tong Ma's tone, snorted, and stopped scolding Tong Ran.
Tong Ran then said: "Dad, let me tell you something."
The other side is definitely open!
So Tong Ran spoke directly.
The child's father said angrily: "I don't have any money, and the financial power of the family is in the hands of your mother. It's useless to tell me."
"It's not money."
Tong Ran holds his forehead.
Is it possible that he always asks for money every time he calls?
No way!
Du Keke also helped: "Uncle, aunt, this is really important. Tongtong and I met a friend in Yuncheng. He composed a new song, which is very suitable for that CCTV promotional film."
The boy's father's voice became more serious: "Keke, this is not a joke."
The country attaches great importance to this propaganda film!
In the early stage, countless energy and financial resources were invested in this promotional video, and the chief producer was so worried that his hair turned gray and he couldn't even joke.
Tong Ran replied seriously: "Dad, it doesn't matter what Coco and I have said. You can listen to it yourself."
really.
What Tong Ran and Du Keke think is appropriate is just their opinion.
If the child’s father is not optimistic about it, then everything will be in vain!
"Where can I listen?"
"On the fifth competition day of the second round of the Yuncheng audition of "The Voice", the most popular song online was called "Chasing Dreams"."
The child's father moved the laptop out of the room.
A simple search shows that it is really popular!
In just a few minutes, a video master edited the song from the live broadcast and made it into a video of about five minutes.
"The title of the song is quite consistent with struggle."
The child father clicks to play.
Chen Ming's singing voice is slightly hoarse, especially the broken sound in the chorus, which makes people's eardrums shake and feel very shocked and passionate.
Across the phone, Tong Ran and Du Keke listened to "Chasing Dreams" again.
five minutes later,
There was no sound from the boy's father's side.
Tong Ran asked curiously: "Dad, what do you think?"
"I'll call you back later, hang up now."
After saying that, he hung up directly!
Tong Ran was confused, what...
He couldn't guess what his father wanted to do, so he simply didn't think too much about it, and instead started watching dramas with Du Keke. The two hugged each other, which was both warm and ambiguous.
About half an hour later, the boy's father called.
Du Keke's face turned red, he straightened his pajamas, glared at Tong Ran, who laughed sarcastically and answered the phone: "Dad, how are you doing?"
"Are you in Yuncheng now?"
"yes."
"That friend of yours is also in Yuncheng?"
"yes."
"Pick me up at the airport tomorrow."
"Yes... Hey, no, dad, what are you doing in Yuncheng?!"
He finally spent a few days with Du Keke, but he didn't want to be caught back.
The boy's father snorted: "Someone wants to meet your friend."
Tong Ran scratched her head: "Okay."
Just before hanging up the phone, the boy's father spoke again: "Be honest with me now, I don't want to be a grandfather too soon."
"Du~"
The phone hangs up.
Tong Ran was immediately embarrassed.
Du Keke also recovered from the "warmth" just now.
The two of them don't have stable careers yet, so having children too early is not a good thing. The child's father also took this into consideration and asked the two to take it easy!
One night passed.
Chen Minggang had just finished his morning run when his cell phone rang in his pocket.
"Tongran?"
Chen Ming was a little surprised.
This is the first time Tong Ran calls him!
"Brother Tong, is something wrong?"
Chen Ming took off his slightly sweat-stained short sleeves and asked casually.
Tong Ran asked excitedly: "Chen Ming, are you free now?"
Now?
Yes, I have!
Today is Saturday.
Chen Ming has a lot of rest time.
"I have a few elders here who want to see you and are very interested in the song you sang last night."
"Okay, then I'll go find you."
"Starlight Tea House, Room 112 on the third floor."
After a simple wash, Chen Ming took a taxi and headed to Starlight Tea House.
Starlight Tea House,
This is an old building in Yuncheng. It has a history of more than 400 years since its construction, and many literati and masters have mentioned it.
So the older generation likes to come here to drink tea!
Chen Ming found room 112 and knocked gently on the door.
Immediately afterwards, the door was opened, and it was Tong Ran.
"Brother Tong."
Chen Ming smiled and said hello.
The excitement on Tong Ran's face could not be concealed: "Chen Ming, don't be nervous when you go in, just relax~"
Chen Ming was a little confused. What's so nervous about this?!
Entering the cubicle, Du Keke sat obediently on one side and poured tea for the other two old men. Looking carefully, one of the old men looked familiar.
Tong Ran looks very similar to him!
Another old man had his silver-white hair neatly combed on the back of his head, and even had a small braid on the back of his head, which looked fashionable.
As soon as Chen Ming entered the door, the two old men stood up and said with a smile: "This is little brother Chen Ming, right?"
Chen Ming did not dare to be arrogant and hurriedly bent down and bowed: "I am Chen Ming."
"Sit, sit, sit, don't stand."
"Let me introduce, my name is Tong Ling. I am Tong Ran's father. I work as a program director at the National Advertising Radio and Television Station. This is the chief writer of our TV station, Feng Yiping."
Chen Ming was surprised.
On national television!
This is a big shot.
Chen Ming calmed down and showed a little restraint. After all, these two old men are important figures in the Chinese news media circle.
After the introduction, Tong Ling got straight to the point: "I won't waste everyone's time, I'll just say what I have to say."
"Is the song "Chasing Dreams" your original song?"
Chen Ming nodded.
Tong Ling glanced at Feng Yiping, and Feng Yiping said with a smile: "It is really rare to be able to create such a masterpiece at such a young age!"
"The thing is, our TV station has shot a promotional film about struggle. Basically everything is in place, but the opening and ending songs have not been finalized for a long time."
"I heard your song "Chasing Dreams" last night and thought it was very good. I want to talk to you about the copyright issue."
for a moment,
Chen Ming reacted.
"You want to buy the rights to this song?"
"That's right."
Chen Ming was stunned.
He could understand why Wang Yiyun bought the copyright of his song; but when someone from the national TV station came over and said that he wanted to buy the copyright of his song, it was a bit surprising.
Chen Ming didn't agree in a hot-headed manner, but thought about it seriously.
Tong Ling and Feng Yiping did not disturb Chen Ming and drank tea quietly.
After a long time, Chen Ming finally spoke: "Can I see the finished product of the promotional video?"
The song "Chasing Dreams" has inspired thousands of people on the earth to work hard and radiate the passion for struggle.
If Hua Guo's promotional video is not worthy of the song, Chen Ming will reject it.
