I'm here to chase the stars

Chapter 23 I'll Give You a Discount

On the second night after the recording ended, Xu Fang took back his phone and thought about calling Director Jiang Huo. After all, Director Yu found him himself, so it would be inappropriate not to save face.

"It seems that the matter of finding a manager and assistant must be put on the agenda." Xu Fang sighed, and the first thing he thought of was Cheng Xiaoyang, but he kicked this guy out of his mind in a blink of an eye.

"Am I crazy?" Xu Fang was shocked when he thought of Cheng Xiaoyang, so he asked this guy to help him take care of it.

After searching Jiang Huo's information on the Internet, Xu Fang dialed the number, and the call was answered quickly.

Hearing the voice, Xu Fang said politely: "Hello, is this director Jiang Huo? I am Xu Fang, a contestant of "The Voice of Dreams". Sorry to contact you only now.

According to Director Yu, do you want to authorize the song "Life is like a Summer Flower" for filming? "

Jiang Huo has already obtained Xu Fang's number from Director Yu, and knows Xu Fang's recent schedule, so he is not in a hurry.

Now seeing Xu Fang calling and explaining politely, his inner perception instantly improved.

He was really afraid that Xu Fang was a talented but unscrupulous rich second generation, and he would be angry and irritable if he couldn't reach a deal.

Now that he felt at ease, he smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay. When I asked you to be the director, I didn't expect that the copyright of the song was in your hands. You have confidence, strength, and vision. You are young and promising!"

Jiang Huo didn't put on airs just because he was a director and had been in the industry for a long time.

"The most important thing is that you can afford it." Xu Fang muttered in his heart, and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, you exaggerate too much."

These words came out of his left ear and out of his right ear. He didn't worry about it at all. It was more important to talk about business, so he stopped being polite: "Director Jiang, let's talk about the movie. Can I first understand the background story of the movie? , just a little curiosity."

Talking about the script, Jiang Huo was in high spirits: "Okay, I fell in love with your song because it fits the script very well.

This story is about a wandering singer Bei Piao who came to the imperial capital, initially lived in the basement, sang on the street, longed for opportunities but kept running into walls.

Just when he was about to give up, he met a bar owner and became the resident singer of the bar.

This bar is well-known in the imperial capital, and he has gradually gained some attention.

Finally, someone from the brokerage company found him and gave him a chance to participate in a music audition and perform on stage.

But on the eve of the recording, he suddenly fell ill. After examination, he was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer.

If he chooses treatment, he can live longer, but in order not to miss the stage, he chooses to give up treatment and hide his illness to participate in the show.

He wants to stand on a stage that really belongs to him at the end of his life and sing a song in its entirety.

I have been thinking and hesitating, should I write an original song for this story, or choose a classic song familiar to the audience, until I heard the song "Life is like a Summer Flower".

Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves. Trying to bloom without leaving regrets is really suitable for the ending of this movie.

I really think there is no better choice than this song! "

After listening to the background story of the movie, Xu Fang was a little silent. The journey was bumpy, and the flowers were about to turn bright, but unexpectedly fell at the corner. Seeing the hope that was within reach, he could only experience irresistible despair.

In this story, he saw the shadow of himself in the previous life, and also saw countless people who worked hard but fell before the harvest.

"It's a good story, I like it very much, there is no problem with the song authorization." Xu Fang said immediately.

Jiang Huo was also very happy: "That's really great, what about the copyright fee?"

Xu Fang didn't indulge in his petty emotions, he came to his senses long ago and said, "Director Jiang, to be honest, I don't know much about copyright fees."

When Jiang Huo heard this, he felt that this would require a change of person, so he might put on a win-win attitude and give it a try, saying, "After the movie is released, your song will be heard by more people." Hear that, it helps popularity growth" bullshit.

Or some first-line directors asked people to come to talk, and the people who came had the ugly face of "it's your honor that our director is optimistic about you, a rookie in the entertainment industry".

Jiang Huo has seen these things before, and he has always been very shameless towards such behavior.

If you really have the ability to extract money from the exorbitantly high salaries of those traffic stars, isn't it a hundred times better than taking advantage of this little advantage?
How much money can this squeeze out?

Jiang Huo scolded himself as a bad person, and said to Xu Fang: "I don't cheat you, 20 copyright fee, but from signing the contract to half a year after the film's publicity release, this song can no longer be licensed to other film and television companies. work.

If you are worried, you can ask someone from Jiwai Entertainment. "

In Jiang Huo's heart, the price of this song is more than this price, but with Xu Fang's current popularity, this price is quite reasonable. If Xu Fang wants to raise it a bit, he can barely accept it.

Xu Fang didn't particularly care about this small amount of money, so he wanted to agree right away, but when he thought about Jiang Huo's information, he suddenly changed his mind: "Director Jiang, are you familiar with Teacher Li Rong?"

"It's okay." Jiang Huo was a little surprised. He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that Xu Fang's voice was more enthusiastic.

Li Rong is a first-class movie star with both good looks and acting skills, and he is with Shenghui Entertainment.

When he was an assistant director, he worked with Li Rong, who had just debuted, and they were fairly familiar with each other. However, in recent years, there was little overlap in their works, and there was no chance to cooperate again.

Jiang Huo hadn't figured out what was going on, so he heard Xu Fang continue to say: "Then you can do me a favor, and I'll give you a [-]% discount?"

"what?"

"It's really not a big deal, just help me get some autographs."

"..." Jiang Huo didn't know what to say.

"Director Jiang, who is the starring role in your movie?" Xu Fang asked again.

"Wu Mao." Jiang Huo replied subconsciously.

Then Xu Fang's voice also became excited: "Really? Director Jiang, I really like him, can you let me visit the crew, I'll give you a [-]% discount."

Director Jiang said angrily: "I want you to make a guest appearance, will you give me a free order?"

Xu Fang said bluntly, "That's a good relationship."

"..."

"Then it's a deal? Director Jiang, I've made a deal with you as a friend!"

"..."

Five minutes later, Jiang Huo hangs up the phone in a daze, vaguely remembering the song "Life Like a Summer Flower", which he got for free.

After another 5 minutes, he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly gained a buddy in his early twenties?

What is this!
But thinking about it, Jiang Huo himself was also happy: "Hey, this kid is quite interesting."

Jiang Huo was happy, and Xu Fang was also full of ambitions. This deal is a bargain.

With a profit of 20, not only can you get the idol's autograph, you can also visit the crew, and you can even play a guest role to experience the feeling of making a movie.

Is it okay for ordinary fans?Not to mention spending 20 yuan, even if it doubled or tripled, he didn't get the same treatment as him.

Thinking of this, Xu Fang expressed his sincere emotion: "Director Jiang is a good person, I hope there are more good people like this in the entertainment industry."
