Chapter 5: Theme Song?

The ward where Ji Kangxu is located, it is simply incomprehensible in an ordinary ward.

It is simply a flat-story official residence, with an area of less than two or three hundred square meters, luxurious decoration, and household supplies and equipment are readily available, and it is even equipped with a separate study, reception room, gym and recreation room.

On this point alone, Qi Ming couldn’t see through his eyes, and he was stunned the whole time.JPG.

Correspondingly, Yan Lu didn’t seem to be surprised, he only glanced at it, and then retracted his gaze.

Bai Zi couldn’t help but become more curious about this young man.

In the ward, Ji Kangxu was already sitting in the reception room waiting for them. His spirits were very good, not at all like the person who fainted from a sudden illness the night before and was sent to the rescue.

To Yan Lu’s great surprise, Ji Kangxu became emotional again the first time he saw him, shaking as if he was sifting through bran.

It was not only him who saw it, but Qi Ming and even the white children were frightened.

After a while, Ji Kangxu’s emotions calmed down under the comfort of Bai Zi.

And Ji Kangxu, who calmed down, didn’t have any foreplay at all, and went directly to the subject.

“Yan Lu, I implore you to sing the theme song for my movie, just use “Old Boy”!”

A world-class top-notch director actually said the word ‘please’ to an unnamed bar singer who failed to sing. This picture is a bit strange.

But he had already accepted the strict rules of the fantasy experience of the two in front of him, but he was not as shocked as he had imagined, it was just a bit of an accident.

Because he didn’t expect Ji Kangxu to come to him, it was actually because of the song he sang yesterday.

“What? Can’t it work?” Ji Kangxu seems to be very urgent about this matter, “The price is easy to say, and the resources you want are easy to say. I can give everything to me, but I really beg you, I really want the song “Old Boy” as the theme song of the movie.”

“Is it convenient to ask what type of movie it is?” Yan Lu’s curiosity is purely because of the other party’s attitude is too urgent. It’s not that he has any doubts about what the other party said. A big director can’t play with himself with such sincere and strong emotions.

“Friends are Not Enemies”, this is a movie I made five years ago. To commemorate a close friend of mine who passed away, I have been looking for a theme song that meets my needs for the past five years, but I have never found anything. Until yesterday I heard your song “Old Boy” in the bar.”

“It’s a song like our story. Every note and every lyric is sung to my heart. I listened, as if I saw those years of time passing in front of me, but I couldn’t catch it or keep it, oh!”

“I made a decision at that time, I must use your song as the theme song. My five years of waiting, my five years of searching, are all for your “Old Boy”. Moreover, what you don’t know is that your voice is very close to my old friend, so clean and so contagious.”

“So, please don’t refuse me.”

After Ji Kangxu finished speaking this large section of passionate and emotional words, the room was very quiet for a while.

On the one hand, it is affected by the emotions in his voice. It is undeniable that he does like this song very much, and he does value his old friend very much, as well as this movie made in honour of his old friend.

On the other hand, it is the title of the movie “Friend is not Enemy”.

Yan Lu thought for a while and said, “Isn’t the theme song of “Friend is Not Enemy” already locked for Chen to sing?”

Chen Chen, who was a blockbuster on a talent show three years ago, directly sat on the throne of Xiaosheng because of his beauty like breaking the dimensional wall and his excellent singing and dancing strength. He has been sitting for three years and is the most influential young artist today.

It is said that seven or eight of the ten news he posted can cause Weibo paralysis.

So much so that his own Weibo account can’t update the news at will, and everything is posted through the studio.

Such an eye-catching body to sing the theme song to the movie is really a touch of brilliance.

But in the current situation, Yan Lu wondered, is it possible that a movie still has to have two theme songs?

“That’s not what I agreed to.” Ji Kangxu’s emotions became excited again, “They decided without my consent, but only I have the right to make a decision on my work, and if I say no, I can’t.”

Bai Zidi stepped forward and stroked Ji Kangxu’s back, and explained to Yan Lu: “Mr. Yan doesn’t need to worry about this. Director Ji’s works have always been decided by himself, and the theme song and singer determined by the investor without authorization. If the director does not approve it, it will not count.”

“What? But they have already announced it to the outside world! That’s Chen Chen!”Qi Ming whispered in surprise.

Bai Zi smiled confidently, “It’s true that he is Chen Chen, but we are also Ji Director!” After speaking, he looked at Yan Lu, “Mr. Yan doesn’t need to think about these things.”

Yan Lu nodded. He actually just wanted to make sure about the situation. A movie usually has only one theme song. He really hadn’t heard of using two.

“Okay, I promise. It is my honour to be so appreciated and affirmed by Director Ji.”

Seeing Yan Lu nodded, Ji Kangxu’s mood completely calmed down. Like a child who had received a beloved toy, he immediately frowned and danced with his hands and feet.

He took Yan Lu to sit beside him and asked him about the original intention of creating the song “Old Boy”, as well as the before and after things.

Yan Lu then combined the experiences and emotions of the two people, as well as the creation story of the original song “Old Boy”, and talked eloquently.

While chatting, he got involved in other topics, and Yan Lu didn’t snub Qi Ming, and always got him involved in the topic from time to time.

At the beginning, Qi Ming was still a little nervous, but a little bit, he let go.

In the end, the three of them talked, but they didn’t want to stop.

But after all, Ji Kangxu was on the verge of life and death. His body was not as strong as he showed. In addition, his emotions fluctuated too much, so that he didn’t talk for too long and he showed a poor mental condition.

Seeing this situation, Yan Lu and Qi Ming immediately got up, and Bai Zi also stepped forward in time to help him go back to rest.

After the Baizi finished his work and settled Ji Kangxu to rest, he led Yan Lu and Qi Ming out together.

As he walked, he said, “Director Ji has not walked much for the theme song in the past five years. For this reason, he has also suffered from depression. He can only fall asleep by drinking every day. That’s why he tossed his body like this.”

It’s no wonder that the director has such a fantasy experience for a work to this point.

“Investors put pressure on the film to schedule the film. During this time, Director Ji has been angry with them. Yesterday I learned that they had decided on the theme song without their consent. You really dare to release the news like that.”

“But we won’t let them take care of it casually. It is estimated that the theme song will be officially announced in a day or two. At that time, you will definitely be involved in the storm. Be mentally prepared.”

Yan Lu shrugged, “I just sing a good song, when will it be recorded?”

Brother Bai can see that Yan Lu is really calm, not pretending to be chic, “I will contact you tomorrow to sign the contract, and then I will prepare to record. A week later is the launch of the movie. You may not need to be on stage, but you need to be there.”

“Understand.” Yan Lu knew his current identity, but a song was appreciated by the director, that’s all, so he didn’t think so much, but he was a little puzzled by the rush of time.

I have been waiting for five years, and the preparations before the release of this movie are in a hurry.

Bai Zidi seemed to see his doubts and said, “This was negotiated at the beginning. In five years, there is no way for this season director. Fortunately, you showed up at the last minute and made the work perfect. Although I haven’t heard of your “Old Boy”, I’m looking forward to it.”

“It will live up to your expectations.”
