Chapter 126 Day 123 of Being the Boss
Xu Yisong wrote two songs in total, and she played her own recorded versions to the screenwriter and director.
The director and his team had already heard the accompaniment without vocals before, and when they listened to the complete version with the lyrics written now, they still had a sense of amazement, as if they had fallen in love at first sight.
“We really should have invited Ji Sung as well.” Ji Sung is the actor who plays the male lead in this drama.
The director couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes as he listened and read the lyrics.
The screenwriter and director next to her are similar, and because she is a writer, she is more sensitive to written expression.
Xu Yisong wrote two songs in total, one is "Authority Hallucination" and the other is "Healing Love".
The first song is strictly speaking a collaboration, with the rap part coming from another male singer, Nashow. Although it was their first collaboration and the lyrics were written separately, their understanding of the script was surprisingly consistent, so although their styles were completely different, the final result was quite harmonious.
Chen Xiuwan felt a sense of resonance when she read the lyrics. The lyrics of the two songs completely fit the entire script, and the inner pain and struggle of the male and female protagonists were fully expressed through music.
Especially the first song, the male and female voices perfectly match the emotional psychology of the male and female protagonists.
(Under the black night sky,
You don't want to leave.
Wake me up from my sleep.
……
……
I watched you go away little by little,
The tired days just leave like this,
Become a shadow in the painting.
Sorry,
I am so obsessed with you.
I call you anxiously,
I beg you not to leave.
In the invisible sadness,
I burst into tears.)
This ethereal and sad song carries a sense of fate that is difficult to escape from and yet difficult to struggle with.
The screenwriter put down his headphones and couldn't help but sigh to Xu Yisong: "Yi Song's empathy for the character is really strong."
"Is that so? No wonder I heard them say that Yi Song should act." The director next to him also agreed. Although Xu Yi Song has never participated in a Korean drama, her name has long been known in the director circle.
Facing the compliments from the director and others, Xu Yisong smiled modestly. She then talked about her own ideas and some details of the song.
Because Korean dramas are generally performed and broadcast at the same time, the OST is produced before filming begins. Xu Yisong only read the script and still needs to communicate with the screenwriter on some details to ensure that the style and content of the song fits the plot of the TV series.
One of these two songs depicts the main plot, and the other reflects the love between the male and female protagonists. So the creative process is mainly centered around the understanding of the male and female protagonists.
The show seems humorous on the surface, but its core is just like its title, "Kill me, heal me." It seems to be a process in which the heroine, as a psychologist, heals the hero's schizophrenia, but it is actually a process in which two injured little animals lick each other's wounds and heal each other.
The underlying tone is one of fatalistic sadness.
The most tear-jerking moments in this drama are the childhood trauma of the heroine and hero, and the hero splits himself into different people because of hatred, love, and various reasons, just like tearing his soul apart. And these split personalities are him and not him.
These personalities are torn apart by the hurt from those around him, and are also the self-defense of the male protagonist to protect himself. But no matter what the reason is, for themselves and for the people they love, these personalities have only one ending - merging with the main personality.
But these personalities really existed. They had their own unique personalities and their own names. They never thought that they were just a disease. They were also independent people.
That’s why it’s so heartbreaking when these vivid personalities disappear in the end.
Xu Yisong's favorite character is "Shen Shiqi". He appeared to protect the heroine. In that forgotten memory, he was the first to find the little girl in his childhood who agreed to meet him at ten o'clock. He was also the first to fall in love with her. But in the end, he could not avoid the ending of disappearance.
The lyrics "The night sky is deeply painted, and your figure is reluctant to leave" are written for Shen Shiqi.
After discussing the details with the screenwriter, Xu Yisong also had an idea of the direction of the song's revision: "Editor Chen, Director Jin, the song can be revised in about three days, and I will send the finished version directly to you. But have you chosen the person who will sing it in the end?"
Xu Yisong felt that his voice did not fit the style of the song well enough, so he did not plan to sing it himself. In the end, the selection of the performer of the song was directly handed over to the crew to worry about.
When it was almost over, the director suddenly invited Xu Yisong before leaving: "Yisong, do you want to try to act in it?" Xu Yisong understood the script too well, and the casting had not yet been completed, so the director did not want to miss this talented talent.
Although Xu Yisong had joked in front of the director that if she were a man she would audition to play the male lead, she didn't actually want to take part in the role. She didn't expect to receive an olive branch from the director at this moment.
Xu Yisong originally wanted to refuse, but she was really curious about how the male lead would interpret her favorite role. In order to watch it live, Xu Yisong finally accepted the director's invitation, and the pay was super low, basically equivalent to asking for no money.
"Kill Me Heal Me" is scheduled to be released in January next year, so we have to start filming at the end of this month. Xu Yisong's role does not have many scenes, but it is in the front, and he joined the crew at the same time as everyone else.
Before joining the group, Xu Yisong also took time to watch Kwon Ji-yong and Taeyang's new song promotion performance.
This was the first time that Xu Yisong went to see Kwon Ji-yong's live performance since they met.
After more than half a year, Xu Yisong felt a little emotional when she stood downstairs of SBS again. The first time they exchanged names was at SBS, and she also came to watch the song performance. Then the two of them got closer and closer inexplicably, and finally became close lovers.
Unlike the last time, they didn't need to meet by chance in the corridor. This time, Quan Zhilong was waiting for her downstairs.
"Why did you come down by yourself?" She could have asked her assistant to pick her up.
Quan Zhilong appeared downstairs of SBS with makeup on his face and the clothes he was going to wear for the performance. He waited for Xu Yisong to approach and then naturally took Xu Yisong's hand and walked inside. He leaned towards Xu Yisong while talking, "There is still a while, I want to come down to pick you up." He actually missed her.
This month they had even less time to spend together than last month.
Xu Yisong just said this casually and let him hold her hand. The two of them held hands openly in the TV station, attracting many sidelong glances along the way.
Quan Zhilong's style today is very hip-hop, with a long baseball jacket and ripped jeans, cool and handsome. There are two dreadlock-style braids on the back of his head. Xu Yisong couldn't help but secretly reach out from behind and pinch it.
Sensing the movement, Quan Zhilong turned his head to look at Xu Yisong and asked, "What's wrong?"
After being caught doing some tricks, Xu Yisong tugged at the decoration on the tail of his braid even more blatantly, then leaned close to Kwon Ji-yong's ear and whispered, "Ki yo." It was a cool look, but Xu Yisong thought it was cute.
Hearing this description, Quan Zhilong pretended to be angry, stretched out his hand to pinch Xu Yisong's cheek and warned: "Don't use the word cute to describe your boyfriend."
"Okay, okay." He agreed quickly, and his tone was quite perfunctory.
As soon as Quan Zhilong heard it, he knew that she was perfunctory and knocked her head unhappily. Although the action seemed to be very big, the actual force was very light.
