Chapter 3218 The Malan Flower Choir Makes its Debut
Liu Liu finally realized that Comrade Changjiang was not someone she could control. This guy not only showed her no respect at all, but also reported her without hesitation. First, he called in screenwriter Jiang, and then he even summoned Xiao Huahua.
Little Flower almost reported her to Teacher Wu Mei, and it took a lot of effort for her to settle the matter.
Moreover, Liu Liu remembered that Comrade Changjiang lived in the municipal party committee compound and seemed to have a high status. The key point was that Xiao Huahua had never mentioned ducks to her. She always thought that even if someone had a high status, it was just that, and she could still keep them in check. Now it seemed that she couldn't keep them in check.
Unexpectedly, there was such an amazing person in the crew, and she wouldn't allow anyone more amazing than her!
However, Xiaobai did seriously consider the burden on Liuliu. Having to write essays between filming sessions was a bit cruel for Liuliu.
So that very evening, she arranged for Xiwawa to write it.
Xiwa wrote it in just one night. The essay was on a given topic and was called "A Day in the Life of a Film Crew".
She used her own personal experience as material and wrote this essay from Liu Liu's perspective.
It looked quite convincing and received high praise from Liuliu.
"Although it's not as good as mine, it's still quite good. Here's a little red flower for you."
Liu Liu praised Xi'er with great joy, but when she looked more closely, she found that the essay was signed at the end: Xi'er.
"Why did you write your own name on it?" Liuliu asked Xier, pointing to the signature.
Xi'er peeked out and said, "It was me who wrote it, so I wrote my own name."
Liuliu was dumbfounded: "No, didn't you write this for me?"
Xi'er nodded, her expression serious: "Yes, I wrote it for you, so I wrote it in your homework."
"But if you've written your name on it, how am I supposed to hand it in?"
"Just hand it over."
"..." Liu Liu stared intently at Xi'er for a moment, "You child, did you do this on purpose?"
Xi'er asked, "Don't you want my name? Then I'll cross it out."
"Wait, even if you cross it out, there will still be a trace."
Liu Liu was speechless when she saw the signature. Xiwawa was trying to harm her. She wrote the essay as a ghostwriter but also wrote her own name on it.
Xiaobai suggested that Liuliu just copy it down herself.
"Anyway, Xi'er's handwriting is different from yours. Teacher Wu can tell at a glance. Just copy what Xi'er wrote."
"...So annoying~~"
"Then you don't have to copy it; you can write your own essay."
"..."
Liu Liu wrote furiously, gritting her teeth as she copied the composition once. After checking it, she put the notebook into her schoolbag. Tonight, she could finally get a good night's sleep.
The following day, Little Red Horse Music Company.
In the conference room, sunlight filtered through the blinds cast pale gold stripes on the table, where demo discs from the music company were stacked in small piles.
Zhang Tongshun shook his head, holding a disc: "The tunes are either too fancy or too lighthearted, lacking the warmth of everyday life in our show."
Zhang Tan casually picked up a sheet of music and flipped through it. He had just listened to all of these songs and found many to be good, but they might not fit the mood of "Miss Zhao's Family".
“Don’t waste these works,” he said, glancing at the music company’s contact. “Buy them all. We can select a few as background music and insert songs for the movie, which will enrich the plot.”
The contact person nodded in agreement, and Zhang Tongshun added with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, you've thought of everything. You've made the most of the good melody while also making the drama more relatable to real life."
The contact person asked, "What about the theme song? Should we continue soliciting submissions?"
Zhang Tan thought for a moment and said, "No need, I'll write one myself."
"Okay~" The person in charge said in a much more relaxed tone.
After the brief meeting, Zhang Tan returned to his office, pondering which song to choose as the theme song for "Miss Zhao's Family".
Although this movie is about everyday family life, it is essentially a story about pursuing dreams. He wrote down the names of several songs on a piece of paper, and finally settled on the last one.
"Flowers Bloom Along the Way"
The lyrics and melody of this song perfectly match the plot of "Miss Zhao's Family".
Back at Little Red Horse, Zhang Tan immediately gave the sheet music to Little White.
"What song is this? 'Flowers Bloom All the Way'?" Xiao Bai looked at the sheet music curiously, then asked happily, "Old man, is this a new song you wrote?"
"Yes, it's the theme song I wrote for the movie 'Miss Zhao's Family.' Can you understand it?"
"Hmph~ Who do you think you are!"
Little Bai proudly raised her chin and hummed at the sheet music, managing to hum a tune that was almost perfect.
After she hummed the song once, Zhang Tan said, "I'd like to invite your Malan Flower Choir to sing this song. What do you think?"
Xiao Bai said happily, "I think it's great. Our Malan Flower Choir hasn't performed for a while, and Liu Liu always wants to sing. It's time to let her out."
"Then go and gather everyone tonight, and we'll have a meeting to discuss this matter."
"Alright! Leave it to me, old man!"
Xiao Bai received the task and excitedly went downstairs to find someone, but it was only evening and the children from Little Red Horse Academy had not yet arrived. Only Xiaomi, Robin, and Xi'er were playing ball in the yard.
The three of them chased after the ball, laughing and joking.
Little White, holding the sheet music, ran over excitedly, shouting, "Come and see! What's in my hand?!"
Upon hearing her aunt's voice, my little niece immediately stopped, looked over, and said, "It's a piece of paper!"
Xiao Bai ran up to them and showed them the sheet music: "This is the sheet music for a song, written by my father. It's going to be the theme song for 'Miss Zhao's Family'! He said he'd give it to our Malan Flower Choir to sing."
Let me see~
Xi'er took the sheet music and looked at it carefully. Among these people, she had the highest musical literacy.
While Robin was busy with public relations, he asked her aunt if she could temporarily apply to join the Malan Flower Choir.
Xiao Bai encouraged her, "As long as you keep improving your skills, you can join."
That meant it wasn't possible yet, but my little niece didn't understand the hidden meaning; she was delighted.
The group chatted around the song, and soon more and more people came to Little Red Horse Academy. Liuliu, Dudu, Chengcheng, Shi Baobao and others arrived, and the Malan Flower Choir gathered together. Xiaobai led everyone to her home on the third floor to have a meeting with her father.
Zhang Tan briefly explained the theme song and told everyone to report to their parents when they got home tonight. If there were no problems, they should find time to record the song over the weekend.
Everyone was in high spirits, especially Liu Liu, who was so excited she wanted to go up to the roof. Xiao Bai suggested she go to the balcony and use the telescope to look at the universe, saying the universe could accommodate her restlessness.
Saturday morning was sunny and bright, and the recording studio of Little Red Horse Music Company was exceptionally lively. Not only was the entire Malan Flower Children's Choir present, but many of the company's singers were also there.
Even Li Yuxiao, who is rarely seen at the company, showed up, and she brought her handsome son with her.
In front of the round microphone in the center of the recording studio, the Malanhua Choir stood neatly together, listening to their music teacher speak.
Even the best sound engineer at Little Red Horse Music Company squeezed out half a day to serve the choir.
The sound engineer was an old acquaintance. His gaze lingered meaningfully on Liu Liu. He knew that the one who could cause him trouble was this billionaire heroine. He had just privately instructed the music teacher to warn Liu Liu not to sing off-key or to hit high notes, as those were abrupt and difficult to tune.
"The song we're recording today, 'A Journey of Flowers,' is the theme song for 'Miss Zhao's Family.' Everyone, sing along with the piano first to find the tune." The music teacher held up the sheet music and gently tapped the table. "The singing order will be based on your positions, starting from left to right, one line per person."
After she finished speaking, she played the piano, and the music began softly. Xiaobai spoke first: "The sunset over the sea is like a painting from my youth, spread across the sky waiting for the seagulls to carry it away."
Xi'er sang along: "The distant sails are battered by the wind and waves, and I am not afraid of the pain for my dream."
Liu Liu continued singing: "The distant wind and sand have gone to whose ends? Has spring ever seen him somewhere?"
The music teacher said, "Liuliu, don't rush, you're a bit too hasty."
Although Liu Liu didn't quite hit the rhythm, the rehearsal didn't stop; the first take was just to let everyone get used to it.
