Chapter 715: Let Me Sing Once
Chen Fan had overlooked the matter of the theme song.
He had completely forgotten about it due to being busy with various things.
"You've already decided on a theme song?"
Wen Wan smiled and said, "The director found a musician to write one, but after listening to it, my brother and I felt it didn't quite fit the tone of the movie."
"The director was quite respectful of my brother's opinion and asked if we had any suitable song recommendations."
At this point, Wen Wan looked a bit embarrassed.
"I... I impulsively mentioned your name."
"As a result, both the director and my brother were very pleased and asked me to inquire if you'd be interested in writing a theme song for the movie."
Wen Wan felt somewhat guilty, "I'm sorry, I should have checked with you first."
"If not... I can tell the director that you're too busy and don't have time."
Chen Fan smiled, "What was I doing at that time?"
"Let's do this, don't rush to reply to them yet. First, send me the song you have so I can listen to it."
"Okay."
"Can you get online now? Do you have a computer nearby?"
"Yes, I do."
"Alright then. I'll hang up now, and we'll chat on QQ."
After hanging up, Chen Fan went to the study, turned on the computer, logged into QQ, and opened his email.
Soon, Wen Wan's email arrived.
Chen Fan clicked to download it, got up to find a pair of headphones, plugged them in, and then clicked play.
Chen Fan was stunned by the first line.
It wasn't the original theme song from 《The Myth》.
No wonder both lead actors didn't like it.
After listening carefully, Chen Fan confirmed that Wen Wan and Brother Jackie Chan's feelings weren't wrong.
The rhythm of this song was too fast, too dynamic, and completely unsuitable for the movie's theme.
Taking off the headphones, Chen Fan got up to find paper and pen, humming and familiarizing himself with the lyrics.
After humming through it once, Chen Fan began to write.
"《Beautiful Myth》"
"Lyrics: The familiar face in my dreams
You are the gentleness I guard
Even if tears flood the world
I will not let go..."
After writing the lyrics in one go, Chen Fan grabbed a tape recorder, cleared his throat, and then pressed the record button to record the entire song.
The next day.
Chen Fan arrived at New Century Music Studio, but as soon as he entered, he ran into Tong Yao.
They were both stunned.
"Why are you here?"
Tong Yao looked surprised: "Where have you been these days? Your phone was unreachable?"
Chen Fan was speechless: "Why are you always hanging around here? Don't you have anything else to do?"
Tong Yao glared: "That's none of your business. You still haven't answered my question, what have you been up to these past few days? How come you look like you've been tanned into a black egg?"
"Little girl, you don't understand anything. This is called bronze, it's the trendy skin color for handsome guys now."
Tong Yao pouted: "Are you a handsome guy? I don't see it."
Chen Fan smiled, "I'm not wasting words with you. Is Yan Qing here?"
"Brother Qing didn't come today. Hey, Chen Fan, you still haven't answered my question."
Chen Fan ignored Tong Yao and walked into the studio. The manager, having received the news, had already come out to greet him.
Chen Fan didn't waste words either, directly handing over the tape recorder and the paper with the lyrics.
"Find someone to write out the musical score for this song as quickly as possible."
"You've written a new song?"
Tong Yao's eyes lit up, immediately forgetting her previous question and squeezing in.
Chen Fan blocked her with one hand: "What are you doing? This is our company's confidential information, are you trying to eavesdrop?"
"Chen Fan!" Tong Yao stamped her foot, suddenly getting angry.
"Fine. I'm leaving now!"
Chen Fan saw that the girl was actually angry and thought he was in trouble. Just as he was about to open his mouth to comfort her, the next second he saw Tong Yao suddenly perform a nimble step, instantly sidestepping Chen Fan and darting into the adjacent studio.
Standing at the door, she didn't forget to stick her tongue out at Chen Fan mischievously.
Chen Fan shook his head, caught between laughter and tears.
He had actually been tricked by this girl.
Without following her in, Chen Fan took out his phone and walked to the side to make a call.
"Hello, Old Guo..."
The call was to Guo Wendong. Half a month ago, when Chen Fan went to find Su Ruochu, he had given Guo Wendong some instructions in advance.
Among them was the bidding document and planning design proposal for the shantytown development.
The phone call was to inform him that the proposal could be submitted now.
Regarding the shantytown, there were probably few companies in all of Yunhai that could take it on.
With Qifan Construction actively bidding, plus the connection with Mayor Tong Haoran.
It shouldn't be a big problem to secure it.
Just as he finished the call, Tong Yao suddenly burst out of the studio excitedly.
"Hey, Chen Fan, did you write this song?"
"What's up?"
"Can I sing it? I love this song so much. It's perfect for me."
Tong Yao was very excited.
Because both the melody and lyrics of this song were something Tong Yao loved immensely.
Most importantly, it was a slow song, and she felt she could handle it.
Although she loved it in her heart, Tong Yao also understood that Chen Fan wouldn't let her sing it.
Firstly, her identity was sensitive, and secondly, she wasn't a celebrity, so letting her sing might waste a good song.
Sure enough, Chen Fan shook his head with a smile.
"No."
Although she had anticipated it in her heart, hearing Chen Fan's outright refusal still made Tong Yao very unhappy.
Fortunately, Chen Fan went on to explain.
"This song is written as the theme song for the movie Wen Wan is currently filming. It's already decided that Wen Wan and Brother Jackie Chan will sing it."
"Ah?"
Tong Yao was surprised, "Is it for that movie they're filming, 《The Myth》?"
"Yes."
"Ah..." Tong Yao was startled: "If Wen Wan and Jackie Chan are singing it, it might actually work."
She finished speaking and gave Chen Fan a strange look.
"You're really putting in effort to promote her, aren't you?"
Chen Fan waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. She's a contracted actress of our company, of course I have to promote her."
"Tch. Do you even believe what you're saying?"
"Why wouldn't I believe it?"
Although Chen Fan denied it three times, Tong Yao still felt there must be something strange between these two.
"Hmph. Don't let me catch you out."
Chen Fan suddenly smiled and asked, "You really like this song?"
"Mm-hmm." Tong Yao didn't hide her love for the song at all, "I especially like the style of this song. I really hope the movie can be released soon."
"Then I'll give you a chance. You can record a version in this recording studio."
"Huh?"
Tong Yao looked confused.
Chen Fan smiled and explained, "Anyway, I'll have to send them the lyrics and score later, along with a demo of the song. The one I recorded on the tape recorder is too rough, so I'm prepared to give you this opportunity."
"Really?" Tong Yao suddenly jumped up excitedly.
"Are you serious? You're really letting me sing?"
"Thank you, thank you, Chen Fan, you're the best. I won't curse you or say bad things about you anymore in the future."
Chen Fan's head was full of black lines, feeling that this girl must have said a lot of bad things about him behind his back.
