Chapter 223 221. A Song to Become a God

Wang Wenbo is a civil servant. He sits in the office to do official business during the day, and watches news and TV series at home at night.

At 7:30, the news broadcast ended on time. Wang Wenbo, as usual, picked up the kettle to boil some water, made himself a pot of hot tea, and then waited for the TV series he had been following for half a month.

But just as he was waiting for the water to boil, a pleasant melody suddenly broke into his ears unexpectedly, like the sound of wind chimes, and like raindrops falling to the ground, elegant and wonderful, which made him unconsciously walk to the living room.

The sound came from the TV. When Wang Wenbo walked into the living room, the music gradually became low. He thought it had ended, and he was a little regretful that he hadn't seen what it was. Suddenly, a sound like the Huanglu bell came from the TV.

Along with this upright and solemn music, the tall Meridian Gate slowly opened, which made Wang Wenbo stunned on the spot.

Is this the Forbidden City! ?

As an old Kyoto resident, this gate is very familiar, but he always goes here when he goes to work on weekdays. At this moment, it has a different flavor on TV, especially the soundtrack, which is so quintessential that he gets goosebumps when listening to it.

This soundtrack, coupled with this beautiful promotional video, suddenly made Wang Wenbo want to visit the Forbidden City again.

There are many people who have the same idea as Wang Wenbo, but more people have gone crazy looking for the soundtrack after watching this promotional video.

Because it is really too shocking and beautiful.

The grand music played by ancient instruments such as bells and drums combined with modern synthesizers and electronic keyboards is like the sun, magnificent, majestic, and grand, showing the Forbidden City, a palace that represents imperial power for hundreds of years, vividly.

Ordinary audiences can feel it so deeply, not to mention those musicians, especially those music critics. This soundtrack that came out of nowhere made the circle boil in an instant without any warning.

Within less than half an hour of the release of this promotional documentary, no less than 200 music reviews appeared on the blog, of which more than 95% were in praise.

"I thought it was just an ordinary promotional video, but it gave me an indescribable surprise. Not to mention the content of the promotional video, its soundtrack gave me a shock from the bottom of my heart! When my ears received the notes, it seemed as if the Forbidden City, which has stood for hundreds of years and remained motionless, appeared in front of me immediately." - Music critic Li Jia.

"Gem-level architecture, gem-level history, can only be matched with gem-level soundtracks. Although I don't know the name of this soundtrack yet, I believe that when it is released, it will definitely be remembered by countless people." - Musician Lin Sheng.

"This is the most suitable soundtrack for the Forbidden City that I have ever heard. The majestic atmosphere of the drum music highlights the majesty and nobility behind this imperial city. The combination of flute and Xiao creates the silence in the change of dynasties. The combination of cello and electronic piano vividly expresses the iron cavalry and bloodshed behind the imperial power. The reverberation of the wood, drum music, piano, and bells and chimes pushes the agitated spirit and grandeur of the change of dynasties to a climax. In just 30 seconds, there are no less than 20 instruments, but they complement each other and do not conflict with each other. Whether in terms of melody or connotation, this soundtrack is a classic and will be passed down for a hundred years!" - Master of Chinese Music ****.

………

Many music critics with great influence in the circle jumped out, including some well-known musicians, some of whom are even masters. This group of people usually do not show their talents, but they did not expect that this time would make Nie Wei's soundtrack all blow up.

This also proves how high the quality of Nie Wei's "Memories of the Forbidden City" is. With just 30 seconds of music, it has captured the hearts of these professionals and even masters.

And under these comments, countless music fans also followed suit and made their own comments. Whenever there was news of praising this promotional video and soundtrack, the number of comments below would easily exceed 100.

Similarly, in such a hot atmosphere, it also brought about some music critics who were not very popular on weekdays, especially some of the people with good intentions. On the one hand, they loved this promotional video, especially the soundtrack, and on the other hand, they wanted to take advantage of this favorable wind to rise straight up. Therefore, those who said good things felt nauseous, but everyone still liked to listen to it. Looking at the crazy number of clicks and comments, these guys wrote more and more excitedly.

If you use the most intuitive method to express how much people like this soundtrack, then the short video recorded on the Internet that was less than 30 seconds and had broken through a million clicks in just one night can explain everything, and the content of that short video is the one released by the Forbidden City that night.

Of the nearly 100,000 comments below, most were asking for the link and name of the soundtrack, and some were curious about the author. In short, they were exploring this mysterious soundtrack.

Huayi had not expected that a soundtrack made by its own artists would suddenly cause such a sensation.

Wang Zhonglei was woken up by a phone call, and then the senior executives of Huayi had no good sleep tonight. The company's emergency meeting in the middle of the night was inevitable, and there was only one topic to discuss, which was how to use the resources at hand to maximize the benefits of Nie Wei's soundtrack.

"First of all, we should announce as soon as possible that Nie Wei is the author of this soundtrack to attract attention to our side."

"That's right. In addition, I suggest that our music department should discuss a plan as soon as possible. This soundtrack is so wonderful and praised by so many music critics. I think it should be used to make an EP or even an album. Of course, we still have to respect Nie Wei's opinion."

"We should also give Nie Wei a good compliment through this soundtrack. I think this soundtrack is enough to make him worthy of the title of 'young master'."

"Speaking of Nie Wei, should we persuade him to join our company's music department? I think his talent is no worse than JAY from Taiwan. I even think Nie Wei is more comprehensive. If he is willing to join our music department, I think we can even give him all the rights."

"It's time to consider it..."

The meeting lasted for two hours, but no one complained, because it was all about interests. Everyone present was a businessman, and who would have trouble with money?

After the meeting, the others went home to rest, and only Wang Zhonglei was still sitting in the meeting room, sorting out some bright proposals in the meeting with his secretary.

"Nie Wei is really a guy who can surprise people." Wang Zhonglei couldn't help laughing when he saw the suggestions.

"Yes, Nie Wei's talent is really unique to me. At least there are few people in the entertainment industry who can compare with him. The most important thing is that he is a versatile person. He is good at acting, singing, and composing lyrics. Now he can even do the soundtrack. He is praised online. How can this person be so outstanding?"

"So I call him a little demon in private. Only a demon can explain his talent." Listening to the secretary's complaints, Wang Zhonglei smiled, but then frowned slightly, because he thought of Nie Wei's contract again.

A demon like Nie Wei frequently brings him surprises, so he naturally likes it very much, but Nie Wei's contract is like a small fishbone stuck in the throat. It is not fatal, but it makes people feel uncomfortable. They always want to get rid of it, but it is difficult to get rid of it.

This feeling of wanting to catch but not catching, Wang Zhonglei really feels very uncomfortable.

"What is Nie Wei busy with recently?" Thinking of this, Wang Zhonglei found that he hadn't asked about Nie Wei for a week, so he hurriedly asked the secretary beside him.

Upon hearing this, the secretary almost opened her mouth to speak, after all, collecting information about Nie Wei and telling Wang Zhonglei about it was one of the most important tasks she had to bear.

"Nie Wei just finished filming Director Feng's New Year's film. I heard that he got along well with an actor named Wang Baoqiang on the set. In addition, his relationship with Liu Dehua seemed good. I heard that they had dinner together privately. Apart from that, he only traveled between home and the college, and didn't come into contact with anyone with a special identity."

"Yeah." Wang Zhonglei listened carefully and nodded with satisfaction. As for the people with "special identities" mentioned by the secretary, he naturally knew that they represented other brokerage companies. After all, there were quite a few brokerage companies eyeing Nie Wei, and even Wang Jinghua from his own company seemed to have not given up until now.

Thinking of this situation of internal and external troubles, Wang Zhonglei felt a headache again. Nie Wei's contract was almost a headache for him. He felt that he was trapped in his own trap when he signed the contract. He wanted to control Nie Wei, but after thinking carefully, he found that he had no way to deal with Nie Wei. All his unspeakable thoughts could only turn into a sigh.

"Make me a cup of coffee. It seems that we have to work all night today." Looking at the suggestions in front of him, Wang Zhonglei withdrew his thoughts and tried his best to devote himself to work.

Early the next morning, Nie Wei was still lying in the warm bed when he was disturbed by a phone call from Wang Zhonglei.

Wang Zhonglei didn't care about any small talk on the phone, nor did he care about Nie Wei's complaints. He hurried to get to the point.

"Nie Wei, how many minutes are there in the full version of the soundtrack?"

"There are three versions: 30 seconds, 3.50 seconds, and 15 minutes and 10 seconds."

"Bring them all to the company. In the afternoon, we will announce that you are the author of this soundtrack. There will definitely be reporters who will call you. Don't answer. The company will agree to help you arrange it. We will also screen interviews and try to help you contact some professional music magazines." Wang Zhonglei instructed.

"Okay, I will turn off my phone in a while. If you want to contact me, call Luo Yuan." Nie Wei agreed, and at the same time understood Wang Zhonglei's good intentions. The other party obviously wanted to use this soundtrack to raise his weight in the music circle.

To be honest, Nie Wei was really surprised that Wang Zhonglei would do this, and he was quite moved. After all, if the company wants benefits, the best thing is to arrange interviews for Nie Wei with several large entertainment magazines. That kind of influence is large enough to bring greater benefits. Arranging interviews with professional music magazines for Nie Wei first will undoubtedly give up a lot of benefits, but for Nie Wei himself, it will benefit him for life.

"In addition, the music department wants to make a special EP for your soundtrack. What do you think?" Wang Zhonglei asked again when Nie Wei was a little touched.

Nie Wei didn't think much and immediately refused: "No, one soundtrack is too thin. I will accumulate more works in the future."

"It's a rare opportunity. If it is made into an EP and released now, it will definitely sell well."

"Money doesn't matter, and the Palace Museum will release a five-minute version of the documentary in a while. By then, everyone can basically hear the essence of this soundtrack."

"That's... okay." Wang Zhonglei was startled when he heard Nie Wei's explanation, and then compromised.

"Then you are obviously not willing to join the music department?" Wang Zhonglei sighed, seeming to have given up on himself, and directly gave an answer to the question.

But this time it was beyond his expectation. Nie Wei did not explicitly refuse, and certainly did not agree.

"I can think about it. When I have some free time, I can help."

"As long as you have the intention!" Wang Zhonglei was very happy when he heard this answer. Not only was Nie Wei's attitude, but more importantly, behind this expression, he was undoubtedly very considerate of Huayi. This meant that the other party did not run away. Willingness, at least at this moment, is not there, otherwise I would not have given such an ambiguous answer and just refused as usual.

After discussing everything with Nie Wei, Huayi, a big monster in the domestic entertainment industry, began to exert its efforts, using various publicity channels to advertise Nie Wei overwhelmingly.

After the public learned that this soundtrack was composed by Nie Wei, they became even more enthusiastic.

For a time, Nie Wei's blog followers increased by hundreds of thousands, and the overall number of followers exceeded 10 million. He became the first artist to have blog followers exceed 10 million, and it became a hot topic for countless people.

And because Nie Wei has accumulated countless good works in the music industry, he has gained the confidence. With the release of "Memories of the Forbidden City", he finally won the title of "Master" naturally.

And for a twenty-year-old master, his achievements are undoubtedly amazing.

When receiving this news, Nie Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly. His main career as an actor has not yet crossed the line. Instead, he became famous in the music circle because of the song "Memories of the Forbidden City". He doesn't know if this is considered "not doing his job properly".

In the music circle, the name of Nie Wei, who holds the title of master, is becoming more and more shining. The most direct reaction is that the price of his song invitations has doubled again. On the basis of the already high price , has become extremely expensive, and can be said to have stood among the top and top few in this circle. In addition, because of Nie Wei's low output, there was a kind of Nie Wei song for a while. The feeling that gold is hard to find.

For a time, there was a saying in the industry about Nie Wei's sudden rise, that is, "one song can make a god".

Discussions about Nie Wei are almost everywhere outside, but the new music master Nie Wei is hiding on campus and enjoying a rare leisure. Of course, he is not just relaxing. He is also very concerned about the new TV series. After persuading Shu Chang, the next target he aimed at was naturally Lin Yifei.
