Chapter 285 Tormenting Bingbing

The interview was scheduled for next Monday.

Although Lu Xuan valued this interview with Central Television, the post-production of *Hero* was also an arrow on the string, ready to be released.

He could only work on post-production while waiting for the interview.

According to the schedule, *Hero* was progressing rapidly, with the post-production already completed in broad strokes.

Every shot was the result of Lu Xuan's careful selection.

Therefore, the post-production was meticulously done.

Each shot was excellent, but the movie's length was fixed, creating a delightful dilemma for the editors.

Lu Xuan was also monitoring the progress, ensuring *Hero* maintained its shape.

Under his guidance, the editors' work became much easier.

Once a rough draft was available, the same problem as with *Vampire Expert* arose: the selection of background music and the theme song.

A good theme song is absolutely the finishing touch to a movie.

Lu Xuan personally took charge of this matter.

In Lu Xuan's understanding, the theme song and background music for *Hero* had to be epic and resonant, matching the movie's theme.

This made things somewhat difficult.

First of all, the grand and majestic background music was already widely circulated.

Therefore, Lu Xuan had to find a rhythm completely different from what was on the market to create music unique to *Hero*.

Just as Lu Xuan was immersed in production, several veteran artists learned of the difficulty and proactively came to discuss how to proceed.

Chen Daoming's idea was the most unique.

"I think we can use the big drum as the main key of the music because the big drum is a common instrument used when soldiers are called to the battlefield, and it has a shocking effect."

"Using this effect in the background music can achieve the picture we want to see."

"On this basis, we can add some guqin (zither), some unique instruments as supplements, so that the antique music is the most suitable for us."

Li Jie didn't understand much about this, but Chen Daoming's idea seemed right to him, so he nodded in agreement.

But after thinking for a while, he added, "I think it should be mainly tragic because there is no right or wrong among the characters, and everyone is concerned about the world!"

"But the world is not just one person's opinion, so this kind of desperate effort is tragic!"

Li Jie's idea was immediately supported by several veteran actors, and finally, they set this keynote as tragic.

And in the choice of instruments, a large number of Chinese traditional instruments were used.

Lu Xuan had no problems, except that some traditional instruments involved his blind spots of knowledge.

He could only accompany these veteran actors to complete this theme song.

Because the direction chosen was mainly pure music, the cooperation between these instruments was very important.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan mediated in the middle, and there were no unexpected situations.

The whole process of cooperation was very smooth!

Finally, the completed theme song was finished.

It was named: *Tian Xia* (All Under Heaven).

Because the music was completed by everyone's joint efforts, these people were very much looking forward to the final effect.

With the sound of the music, everyone seemed to return to the era of yellow sand and rain of arrows.

The scenes in the movie appeared in front of them like fleeting clouds.

These veteran actors had substituted themselves into the roles when they were acting to complete the performance.

When they heard the music, they instantly felt a sense of resonance!

Chen Daoming said with red eyes, "I think this music is good, Director Lu, what do you think!"

"Great, it is in the same vein as the feeling to be expressed in the movie. Thank you all for your cooperation. The completion of this music cannot be separated from everyone's efforts."

"I have already released the process of our composing in the form of tidbits!"

In this way, Lu Xuan spent a few days finalizing the theme song.

——

The interview day arrived.

Lu Xuan was not nervous at all, after all, it was not the first time he had been in contact with Central Television.

However, the necessary respect and preparation were essential.

Su Yao did not go with Lu Xuan, but when Lu Xuan was about to leave, she agreed to a special request he had made earlier as encouragement.

Lu Xuan didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and he hoped that Central Television could interview him a few more times.

This might not be impossible for him to achieve.

Arriving at the TV station by car, Lu Xuan saw Bingbing at the entrance of the TV station at a glance.

As youthful and sweet as ever!

After he got out of the car, Bingbing immediately walked towards him.

"Director Lu! I'm interviewing you again this time, aren't you surprised!"

"I applied for this on purpose!"

Bingbing waved to Lu Xuan enthusiastically.

By the way, she directly stated the preparations she had made.

Lu Xuan said with a smile: "I am very honored to cooperate with Bingbing again. Last time was very pleasant, I think this time will be very smooth!"

Bingbing smiled happily, her eyes narrowed.

"Easy, easy!"

The two walked into the TV station, and Bingbing couldn't wait to lower her voice and asked, "I've been chasing the drama *Empresses in the Palace* recently!"

"You are the screenwriter, can you reveal the next plot!"

"That An Changzai..."

Lu Xuan shook his head without hesitation.

"That's not possible. How could spoilers happen to the screenwriter!"

"You have to wait slowly. Unexpected encounters are surprises, so you can learn to cherish them!"

Bingbing pouted and said, "You're still saying that. It was updated three episodes a day some time ago, but now it's only two episodes a day. It's not enough to watch at all, and..."

Seeing Bingbing pause, Lu Xuan asked curiously, "And what?"

Bingbing was a little embarrassed, but looking into Lu Xuan's eyes, she still said, "And every time it ends at the most exciting part! After watching this TV series, I have withdrawal symptoms!"

"I just want to know what kind of story will happen next!"

Lu Xuan said with a smile: "Isn't that good?"

"It maximizes the audience's anticipation!"

"This shows that it is the greatest affirmation of my work!"

"Tch, you big bad guy!"

Bingbing spat softly, and then led Lu Xuan into the studio.

"Why don't you tell me a little bit, just a little bit, I just want to know what the plot is behind?"

Bingbing's face showed a pleading expression, like the Yan Zus (handsome guys) who are urging updates.

But although Lu Xuan's heart softened a little, he still said: "No, if I say it now, it will deprive you of your happiness later!"

"And I only remember a rough idea, I can't be accurate to which episode!"

Bingbing still wanted to say something, but met the director's stern gaze.

"Cough cough!"
