Chapter 437 Which song is better to choose?(1/2)
Yangcheng, Xinghai Music Branch Building.
In an office.
"Hahahaha, it's really the name of a person, like the shadow of a tree. As soon as Master Xu returned to China, everyone in the industry already knew it!"
The bald leader put down the phone in his hand and said to the female middle-level leader next to him who came over after hearing the news.
"You know Lei Ming Film and Television, right? It is the film and television company that achieved great success with "Return to the Qin Dynasty". It has just issued a competition invitation for a new drama, and specifically asked Master Xu of our company if
Interested in participating."
He subconsciously rubbed the Mediterranean part of his head vigorously and happily showed off to his colleagues.
"That's a good relationship. It's said that Thunder Pictures is planning to use a total of 50 million yuan to film this TV series adapted from a famous novel. I think the price of the title song this time won't be too low, right?"
The female leader sat elegantly on the sofa next to her, with a proud smile on her face. She and the bald leader in front of her jointly planned Master Xu Zhongsheng’s joining Xinghai Entertainment.
Having attracted the attention of Party A's company, she also felt very accomplished.
"Yes, they have prepared three million dollars to invest in the production of the title song, which is the promotional song. This is only the creative part. There are also two million singers' singing fees, a total of five million.
Here’s the list!”
The bald leader's eyes were shining. The order of three million plus two million was a very attractive piece of fat even for a giant like Xinghai.
Moreover, if the composer whom the two of them have been pushing to introduce wins this list, it will show that the two of them have excellent vision and knowledge of people, and they can also make a big splash at the company's commendation meeting at the end of the year.
"Unfortunately, this is a competition order. Leiming Film and Television has also invited other companies in Yangcheng, instead of directly entrusting our company to create..."
The female leader spread her hands, expressing her helplessness.
"That is, their previous TV series worked very well with Feiyang Entertainment's Jiang Kan, and the ratings once reached a height of 2.9%. If we hadn't introduced Master Xu to join us this time, they would definitely have directly
So I went to find Feiyang Jiang Kan."
The bald leader said calmly.
"Without our talent introduction, this list would have been snatched away by them again. Doesn't this just mean that our work is effective? Hahahaha!"
His words also reassured the female leader. Yes, the business that would have nothing to do with him has a chance to fight for because of the talent introduction of the two of him. Doesn't this prove that his work direction is very correct?
"Well, let's do it then. Let the people in the sales department forward the order to Master Xu and see what he thinks and how to arrange it next."
"Oh? When I just joined the company, was a competitive order assigned to me? I really want to maximize the value of people's use!"
After getting an independent office, Xu Zhongsheng, who was looking at the exquisitely decorated environment in his independent small space, looked at the pile of information just sent by the business department in his hand, and couldn't help but tilt his mouth and let out a chuckle.
"The famous TV series adapted from the beginning of this century, "The Golden Family"?"
He returned to his large executive chair and sat down comfortably, then briefly flipped through the pile of explanatory materials for the TV series, and got a rough impression in his mind.
"It is said to be a famous work, but because it is so old, most of the people who know it are the older generation of viewers. In other words, it is not well-known enough."
Putting the pile of information on the table, Xu Zhongsheng crossed his legs and thought to himself.
"And only the male lead is a popular and capable actor. The other female leads, male second leads, and female leads are all just unknown newcomers..."
The information also explains the general situation of the crew. The company has signed a confidentiality agreement and will not leak it. However, in order to pay attention to Master Xu and make it easier for him to better understand the situation of the TV series, this is still included.
Some information was revealed to him.
"Fifty million yuan was invested, but it was mainly used for cultivating the Tao and creating scenes. The director is just a powerful Mesozoic director, and his reputation is not particularly great..."
He crossed his hands and placed them on his abdomen. He leaned his head back on the chair and lay half lazily on the executive chair. His toes touched the ground little by little, causing the chair to sway slightly from side to side.
"A total of forty episodes were shot, which is 1.25 million Xia Guo Yuan per episode, which is less than 200,000 U.S. dollars..."
"To sum up, this is a drama series with a small to medium investment. It is incomparable to those drama series in the United States that cost tens or even millions of dollars, haha..."
Xu Zhongsheng shook his head with some disdain, not having much interest in paying attention to this matter.
"I am currently preparing to write an A-level song. I need to devote myself wholeheartedly to it and make a great first shot in opening up the domestic situation after I return to China. I have no time to write a title for such a low-level small production like theirs.
song."
"But this is the first order they gave me after I joined Xinghai Entertainment. It's hard for me to refuse. It's too disrespectful to them... Hey, how should I handle this matter?"
Xu Zhongsheng rocked his chair and looked at the bustling streets of Yangcheng outside the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking over and over again.
Finally, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have come up with a good way to get the best of both worlds!
He picked up the new mobile phone he bought after returning to China that was placed on the table and dialed a number.
"Hey, Xiaolei, are you busy at work?"
"Haha, I'm in good health. I just returned home and I still have a lot of things to do..."
"You were in Yangcheng recently, right? I remember you opened a studio by yourself? Okay, it's pretty good, haha."
"Oh, there's nothing else to do. Master and apprentice haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have dinner together tonight to keep in touch..."
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, no problem. Then you can book a place. I'm not familiar with this place... Okay, let's go to Yangcheng Restaurant. Let's meet at half past six~"
After exchanging pleasantries and hanging up the phone, Xu Zhongsheng put the phone on the table with a satisfied smile on his face.
The apprentice named Zhang Lei whom I accepted in the United States returned to China three or four years earlier than me. Now he has gained a certain reputation in the country and opened a music studio. He mainly takes on jobs that are not favored by some big companies.
Small companies cannot grab the list of independently produced animations, music productions for film and television works.
I know his abilities quite well, and his character is quite good. He also got his true inheritance when he was in North America. Judging from his current abilities in China, he should be among the top ten among the three giant companies.
A songwriter level.
It's just that this person has a free nature and doesn't like to be controlled, so Xinghai and Guangguang didn't go when they wanted to recruit him. Instead, they opened a studio by themselves and became the boss.
This time, I can take over the competitive order first, and then hand it over to Zhang Lei. The division is still the same as the old rule of one person and one half. When they were in the United States, they often had such cooperation. Xu Zhong used his reputation to attract the order and made it.
Any leftovers are distributed to the apprentices and the income is split 50-50.
As for the right of signature, the teacher naturally took it. After all, it was because of his name, Lao Xu, otherwise there would be no way to accept it.
He plans to mention this order to his apprentice tonight to see if he is willing to take it. If not, there will be several other apprentices who will always find a suitable person to outsource it.
In his opinion, in this domestic environment where the music industry lags behind foreign countries for decades, his apprentice can completely overwhelm everyone. At worst, he will help give guidance and make corrections when the work is released. Winning this list is simply a matter of course.
It's like a toad eats bugs - it's all there when you open your mouth.
Three days later, in the office of the boss of Lei Ming Film and Television.
"How's it going? Have they all taken the order?"
After pouring a cup of fragrant tea for himself and the other party, Mr. Wang asked Lao Lu, who was specifically responsible for this matter, in his office.
"Took it. Xinghai and Feiyang have both taken it. Good luck over there with the light.
I am also interested in this list. After all, the creative fee alone is three million. If the deal goes well, even the singer can be packaged and use the composer Fang's family. The total is five million. It is a big deal in China. Who wouldn't
be envious?"
Lao Lu stood up, took the hot tea from the other party with both hands respectfully, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. A refreshing fragrance spread to his nasal cavity, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Just like the preparations for the TV series went smoothly, the release of the theme song also went very smoothly, which made him feel even better.
"That's good. I was a little worried just now that a master composer like Xu Zhongsheng, who won the Oscar for Best Score, would look down on this small order of ours. Unexpectedly, Xinghai Entertainment still actively accepted the order and said
I will definitely arrange for him to be in charge of this list."
Wang Leiming took a sip of tea and clicked his tongue with satisfaction, enjoying the aroma of the tea and the sweetness of his prosperous career.
"Haha, the master also needs to eat. Although I don't know what percentage he negotiated with Xinghai, he still shouldn't look down on the 3 million creative fee."
Lao Lu put down the tea cup and said with confidence. After all, although the three million order is inconspicuous abroad, in Xia Kingdom, especially in a place with fierce competition like Yangcheng, it is still a big reward.
"By the way, what do Feiyang say? Should Jiang Kan take over?"
Mr. Wang asked Xinghai and then about Feiyang's situation.
After all, the previous cooperation with Feiyang Jiang Kan was very pleasant, and "The Supreme Destiny" has simply become the best booster for the popularity of "Return to the Qin".
The games and movies launched by his two brothers have also benefited a lot from Jiang Kan's compositions. From the bottom of his heart, he still wants to continue to cooperate with him.
However, the competitor has an Oscar in his hand, which is too attractive, so I’m sorry, you should just compete.
"System, this is the plot and introduction of "Golden Family". Do you have any suitable songs in your music library that can be customized?"
In his specialist room, Jiang Kan was consulting on the system.
"Of course, the music library on earth is endless. As long as you are willing to spend time and energy to search, you can always find the music you want."
"Okay, then I will customize a theme song suitable for this TV series."
"The host please enter the system music library and search for it by yourself."
"Hey...can't you just customize it for me? Do I have to find it myself?"
Although he has done this exercise method several times, Jiang Kan still prefers the system to directly customize songs for him.
It doesn't mean that he wants to be lazy and save trouble.
But there are too many songs in the system's earth music library, which are so good that once he gets into them, he will be addicted to them, and he can't extricate himself like a piece of grass.
It’s so difficult to only choose one from so many great songs!
"The system can narrow down the selection for hosts, but it requires an additional recommendation fee of 500,000. Do I need the system to provide this service?"
