Chapter 210 All three poems used!

I am in Jiangnan

Let loose and have fun

How innocent

You used the setting sun to crumble the spring snow.

You play a tune in Qingjian.

Rouge Umbrella

Silk

You play a tune of vibrant beauty and magnificent landscapes.

When they heard the beginning, everyone remained calm. After all, this song wasn't particularly amazing compared to Shi Shi's other songs.

It wasn't until the song reached the line "You play a tune of prosperity embroidering the rivers and mountains" that everyone felt the right feeling came through!

There's a sense of peace and tranquility in the land, and the well-being of the people. The song creates a tender and dreamlike atmosphere.

Perhaps his tastes had been spoiled, for Jiang Haichao did not express his opinion, but instead urged Shi Shi to play the next song.

Having known him for quite some time, Shi Shi had come to know him somewhat. Hearing him say this, she knew he was dissatisfied.

Shi Shi has a knack for dealing with clients. Having a deep understanding of the grueling nature of working like a slave, Shi Shi immediately introduced the second song.

"This song, 'If Dreams,' is different. The opening lines, 'Life is but a dream, how much joy can we have?' reveal the helplessness of life's brevity and the elusiveness of happiness. Later lyrics, such as 'Wind shakes and rain falls, where can this heart find rest?' and 'Swords rise and knives cut, yet this cause and effect cannot be severed,' use the imagery of nature and war to metaphorically express the helplessness of inner wandering and the entanglement with fate. Unlike the previous song, 'Red Horse,' this song ultimately points to a yearning for inner peace."

After she finished speaking, she pressed the play button.

Life is but a dream, how much joy can it hold?

Where can my heart find rest amidst the wind and rain?

Swords may rise and blades may cut, but this cause and effect cannot be severed.

The world is vast and indifferent.

"The desolation of worldly ties, the inevitability of fate"

Unlike the previous song, even though it was a demo recorded by Shi Shi herself, the song had an ethereal quality when sung. Everyone who heard it felt as if their ears had been cleansed by the sound, leaving only purity and clarity.

Shi Shi observed Jiang Haichao's reaction and gradually relaxed his furrowed brows. Her right index finger lightly tapped the armrest of the chair in sync with the melody of the song.

I knew he had a very satisfied expression on his face. Not only him, but the expressions of all the staff present were noticeably better.

It seems that everyone is quite satisfied with this song.

Memories flow in your eyes

While forgetting, they pieced it together.

As I devoutly clasp my hands together

May you be saved.

Compared to the previous song, this one is more ethereal and distant, with poetic lyrics and a melodious tune that seems to transport listeners to a dreamlike world.

Jiang Haichao was completely absorbed in the song, his eyes filled with admiration. After the song ended, he was the first to applaud, and the other staff members followed suit. Shi Shi was overjoyed, knowing that this time she had it all figured out.

Jiang Haichao smiled and looked at Shi Shi, saying, "This song, 'If Dream,' is very good. It fits the tone of our 'Peaceful Wish' very well. The lyrics are profound, and the melody is catchy, which can resonate with the audience."

Shi Shi humbly said, "Thank you for your recognition, Director Jiang. I also hope that this song can add color to the movie."

Jiang Haichao continued, "Let's use this one. We'll work on some details later to try and present this song perfectly to the public."

Shi Shi nodded repeatedly, finally feeling a huge weight lifted from her shoulders. The success of the theme song meant that her role as music director was well-deserved and recognized, and it also opened up more opportunities for her to develop within the industry.

"Since everyone's here, let's listen to the last song. After all, anything produced by Shi Shi is bound to be a masterpiece," Jiang Haichao joked with a smile.

Shishi smiled, neither denying nor admitting anything, but instead letting the song speak for itself.

"This song was originally created for this movie, but it's not as suitable as 'If Dream' as a theme song. It's more suitable as an interlude. Everyone should give it a listen first."

"Writing lyrics while rhyming"

In the end, she degenerated into a prostitute.

Sipping tea and reading the newspaper

"Smile and chant as you go"

This song is "Stage" by Chen Li. When Chen Li wrote this song, she was going through a low point in her life. She read a lot of books and watched many films and television shows related to "Dream of the Red Chamber," which greatly inspired her. Many of the images and emotions in the lyrics come from her personal experiences and her deep understanding of "Dream of the Red Chamber."

Shi Shi felt that "The Stage" was a very satirical song. The song seemed to be saying that while the actors on stage were singing, reciting, acting, and fighting, the actors offstage were dressed in fine clothes and looked very serious. The various aspects of life were displayed on and off stage.

She plans to use this song in the movie, as an interlude when the male lead sings for the Japanese soldiers but is misunderstood and scorned.

"Don't talk about right, don't talk about sorrow."

The mortal world weighs on my mind

I urge you to drink another cup of wine.

"Water flowing eastward will not make you drunk"

After all three songs had finished playing, Jiang Haichao spoke first. Of course, as the eldest, who would dare to offer an opinion before him?

"Hiring you to be the music director of 'Peace Wish' was the best decision I ever made."

Upon hearing Jiang Haichao's words, Shi Shi was filled with joy and excitement, but she maintained a polite smile and replied, "Director Jiang, you flatter me. It's all I should do."

Although Jiang Haichao recognized her as his younger sister, there are always rumors circulating in the entertainment industry! After joining the crew, she addressed Jiang Haichao as Director Jiang, just like everyone else.

Jiang Haichao continued, "These three songs each have their own characteristics. 'Ruo Meng' is very suitable as the theme song, and 'Xi Tai' is very suitable as an interlude. Although 'Hong Ma' does not quite fit the tone of the theme song, it also has its own unique charm. We can see if we can use it cleverly in other parts of the movie later."

Shi Shi's eyes lit up. Although that was what she thought, she wasn't sure if Jiang Haichao would agree with her idea.

If the theme song and incidental music can be finalized right now, that would be fantastic! It would significantly reduce our workload!

Since Jiang Haichao, as the leader, has said so, no one else will have any objections. After all, his expression of democracy doesn't mean that anyone actually feels they can speak freely.

That's incredibly low emotional intelligence...

Moreover... no one present was of higher status than Jiang Haichao.

Afterwards, everyone engaged in a lively discussion about these three songs and other details of the film's music.

Shi Shi diligently took notes on every key point, occasionally offering her own insights. After the meeting, Shi Shi walked out of the meeting room full of confidence.

She knew there wouldn't be as much work waiting for her! However, she still needed to be fully prepared to make the music of "Peace Wish" a highlight of the film.

As the music director, Shi Shi naturally has her own room here. After a busy day, Shi Shi comes back early to take a bath and relieve her fatigue.

While soaking in the bathtub, Shi Shi's phone rang.

River and sea tides?

Didn't the two of them just break up? What do they want from me now?

Upon answering the phone, Shi Shi went straight to the point: "What's up, Brother Hai Chao?"

Jiang Haichao, on the other end of the phone, sounded unusually embarrassed: "I wanted to tell you a couple of days ago, but I was too shy to say it."

"What's making you hesitate like this?"

“We’ve cast real actors who are skilled in acting, unlike those popular celebrities who can boost box office numbers. Xiao Xu happened to have some free time, so I asked him to have a cameo role… But don’t worry, he’ll only be here for two days.”

Shi Shi was speechless. Was that all?

Perfect timing, she was thinking of taking leave to prepare for her engagement with Fu Yingzhou.

Here come the steps.
