Chapter 375 "The Hard-to-Recite Sutra" and "The Love of Life"(1/2)
In the end, Jiang Kan silently agreed to this suggestion.
After all, the other party is a super celebrity who has been a superstar for many years. Singing with her will definitely bring countless benefits to him, and his fame will definitely increase quickly.
What's more, he himself would have picked some songs that required male and female duets and matching each other. It was not a problem for him to always sing with male and female voices. After a long time, the novelty would be gone.
"Okay, then just promise her. After thinking about it, I won't suffer, haha."
Jiang Kan smiled at Zhang Lingling and said, after all, the other party had already had this idea. If Zhao Yu didn't mention it, he would eventually have to go to her on his own, and he would appear more passive.
"Okay, then I will prepare for this."
Zhang Lingling is also very happy to be "along with" a diva group, and Kan's future development will be like a rocket.
But according to Zhang Lingling, it's best not to tell her right away that we can work together. She has to talk to Zhao Yu's agent in a few days, and they can't talk by themselves.
Otherwise, once it involves some exposure, too many words, too few words, publicity focus, income distribution, etc., it will be difficult to discuss things related to interests, and it may hurt feelings.
It's better to let the agents discuss these matters among themselves. Besides, this is what they do and they are professional.
"Commissioner Jiang, you are still awesome! As soon as you take action, oh, this dead horse is healed!"
Back at the company, Manager An pulled Jiang Kan’s shoulders and praised him fiercely!
In the commissioner's room, Lao An's face was flushed. He looked at Jiang Kan as if he were watching a god. He had never seen such a powerful composer who could transform a minor genre movie like martial arts into a single song.
They are all so popular!
Back then, I would secretly hide one or two martial arts books in my schoolbag, and I would often engage in role-playing with my classmates who were interested in this art. I am a hero, and you are a thief. Then I would use bamboo poles and branches to
After a good spanking, his parents took him back and continued spanking him until he was covered in dirt.
Thinking of these childhood memories, a nostalgic smile appeared on Manager An's face involuntarily.
But the moment was replaced by the excitement in my heart.
"Commissioner Jiang, do you know that the first week's box office of "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" has been released, which is a total of 8 million!"
Yesterday, director Liu Xinping came to the company to visit Jiang Kan, but he happened to be in Shanghai as a concert guest, so he took Manager An's hand and praised Jiang Kan!
This low-budget martial arts movie only cost 10 million in total from shooting to promotion. Who would have thought that it would almost make it all back in the first week?
A movie's release time is about one and a half to two months. If there are eight million dollars every week, wouldn't the total box office be able to be fifty or sixty million?
And this is just a movie. Now with the theme song of this movie detonating, public opinion is also continuing to ferment. More and more passers-by who had not noticed it before have begun to become interested in it.
Not to mention the elderly viewers who had already given up on martial arts, but these news have reawakened their memories of wanting to be a hero and doing chivalry when they were young!
More and more viewers are flocking to the cinema, wanting to see this hit movie and see how it became such a big hit on the Internet.
In the past few decades, when did martial arts movies have such high income?
Director Liu only felt that every time he saw the box office receipts, he would feel trembling all over. He always felt that it was a bit too magical, and everything felt like he was dreaming!
"Hahaha, congratulations, the main reason is that you shot the movie well, we are just the icing on the cake!"
Manager An was so proud in his heart, but he was still very humble in his words, but the other party was like a mirror in his heart, and he still held his hand and shook it:
"No, no, I don't know about the movies I made myself. They're just average. If it weren't for Teacher Jiang's song "A Laugh in the Sea," how could we have such a beautiful movie?
The heat of the fire? In the final analysis, I still have to thank you!"
Manager An was so happy that his mouth was splitting even to the back of his ears. How many years has it been? How many years has it been since their Yangcheng branch received such heartfelt thanks? How many years has it been since they have made such great achievements?
"Thanks to you, Commissioner Jiang. Hey, you don't know how much our colleagues admire and admire you..."
Manager An kept thanking God in his heart for opening his eyes and allowing the headquarters to send such a great god to rescue him.
How did I get here all these years? Now I finally see the glimmer of hope!
"Haha, Manager An, you don't have to be so excited. Our career has just begun. Everything will be fine in the future!"
Jiang Kan patted his shoulder and calmed his mood.
But he himself was quite surprised that this movie was able to collect 8 million at the box office in the first week. This was something he never thought about at the beginning. After all, he had never experienced the grand viewing experience of "The Swordsman" on earth.
I can only predict based on my own previous experience that this film will only have a total box office of 10 to 20 million in the end.
Who knew I would get such a big surprise!
"By the way, in the past few days, not only Director Liu has come to thank us, but also some other companies have come to invite us to produce customized songs for them! Hahahaha, in the past it was us who came to our door to beg our father and grandma to get orders.
, now it’s their turn to come to us and beg us! Commissioner Jiang, this is all your fault!”
"Oh? New orders have arrived? But do they meet the requirements we set before?"
Jiang Kan also raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the advertising effect this time was so good. Someone would come to the door and offer business so quickly?
"Well, about seven or eight companies have contacted us, but they are all small and medium-sized companies, and the price of the order is not very high. Only two of them have an order price of more than 2 million - after all, "A Laugh in the Sea"
Being popular is just an isolated case. Those large entertainment companies are still waiting and watching. Unless we succeed in several big hits in a row, they will not take risks easily..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, Manager An spread his hands helplessly. The competition in the entertainment industry is so cruel. Big companies still first consider joining forces with big companies. The branch office is also called "Canghai".
"One Laugh" became a hit, and "Butterfly Love", the theme song of "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry", was at best a small hit. It doesn't have much to prove itself at the moment, so big companies naturally choose to stay on the sidelines.
"Okay, let's do it slowly, one by one, and one day those big companies will be willing to hand over super big orders to us! Let's take those two orders worth more than two million first.
Come and let me see, what is the need?"
After chatting for a while, Manager An returned to his general manager's office, and soon asked Xiang Ping to send two pieces of information to the specialist's office.
"Well...this is an invitation from Guangming Film and Television to play the opening song of a TV series..."
After sending away his secretary, Jiang Kan closed the door of the commissioner's office, poured himself a cup of good tea, then sat on a chair and began to read the information on these two lists attentively.
"The TV series' tentative name is "Dragon All Beings". It's a... I guess, it's also a martial arts drama?"
Jiang Kan's eyes almost popped out of his head when he looked at the information in front of him.
"What's going on with these directors? Have they made an appointment to revive martial arts? Don't they know that this type of film has gradually become outdated?"
Although I just composed a popular theme song for a martial arts movie.
But Jiang Kan also deeply understands that this does not mean that this niche category has really been resurrected!
"Wait a minute...why is the name of this TV series so familiar?"
But he suddenly froze again, searching for the origin of this name in his mind.
"Oh! I remembered. Isn't this a famous work by the famous martial arts master Jing thirty years ago? Oh, after so many years, I can hardly remember it. I even saw this when I was a child.
Where is Ben!"
After some sighs, Jiang Kan gradually calmed down his emotions, but he was still full of nostalgia and lament for the classic period of martial arts films in the past.
"Well, let's count it as one order. Once it's settled, it's settled. Judging from how guaranteed the system is, there should be similar songs to match it."
"Okay, let me see what the next order is."
He put aside the information on "Dragon Beings" and then picked up another information.
"Movie? Ending theme?"
He looked at the first line of the information.
"The name is "New Journey to the West", the theme is a mythological film, a comedy, the content is the story of a Tang Dynasty monk who conquered several apprentices who were monsters in the ancient legend, and accompanied him to the West to learn scriptures..."
Jiang Kan touched his chin with his hand and read the introduction of the movie carefully.
"In the end, Sun Wukong still failed to be with his sweetheart, Zixia Fairy. He watched her body and the city being fanned towards the sun by the Bull Demon King, and exploded into a cloud of dust..."
"This... this plot is ridiculous, but it still looks quite interesting. I dare to make such a large-scale adaptation of such a classic mythological story, which is quite pioneering..."
He slowly closed the document and put it aside.
"This can be considered an order. I think the system won't embarrass me."
"system!"
He raised his head and called to the void.
"Ding!"
"I'm here! What does the host need?"
"I've accepted both of these orders. Do you have any corresponding songs from Earth that I can customize?"
Although he has full confidence in the system, there is still a big gap between the two worlds after all, and he is not sure whether he can really customize a suitable song.
"Yes, we can accept customization!"
"oh?"
Jiang Kan was both surprised and surprised by the systematic answer. It seemed that it was indeed a parallel universe. The development trajectories on the isotope planet were indeed not much different, and there were similar existences here and there.
"Okay, let me customize these two songs. Can you give me a price estimate?"
He picked up the first material and briefly read the main content of the TV series again.
"Information received, system database is being searched..."
"Ding! The matching song "The Hard to Recite Sutra" has been found! The custom price is 500,000!"
"Oh? "The Hard-to-Recite Sutra"?"
