The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 423 Movie Theme Song

""Taken 23" is not doing well, being bombarded by McCain in the beautiful country."

"The Rise of Conservatism, the 'Taken 23' Movies Are Threatened to Be Abandoned."

"Li Shengyao has returned to Yanjing, and he is alone in Los Angeles."

"The "Taken" series has been filming for nearly half a year, and it still hasn't finished."

"Very bad news, there is no release date for "Taken 23"."

"Cheng Long: We work very hard to make movies seriously, and hope to be recognized by everyone."

"McCain: Lee Shing Yew discriminates against the performers of the beautiful country, and his films are all Chinese."

"Sampling survey in the beautiful country, 23% of netizens said they would not watch "Taken [-]"."

……

Li Shengyao is in the beautiful country, and he will watch the news reports in the mainland.

On a bright afternoon, he had just watched a track and field qualifier, and was sitting and eating with Chen Xun. He turned on his mobile phone to check the news, but saw a lot of negative news about him and "Taken".

Because of McCain's words, "Taken 23" did cause some discussions in the beautiful country, but it is definitely not as serious as these news said.

He frowned and shook his head speechlessly.

Chen Xun chuckled beside him, "These media are all like this, you can make it up to attract people."

Li Shengyao nodded, put down his phone, and planned to concentrate on eating.

After lunch, he was planning to take Chen Xun home together, when he received a call from Feng Xiaogang. It turned out that Huayi still had the idea of ​​cooperating, but this time it was not an investment in a film and television drama, but " Taken 23", Xiaogangpao said that Huayi has musicians here and wants to help Lee Sing Yew compose the theme song.

Li Shengyao thought about it, and then made an appointment with a place.

Not long after, Li Shengyao took Chen Xun and met Feng Ke and Zhang Liangying at a teahouse next to the Bird's Nest.

Xiao Gangpao said that the person who would compose the theme song for Lee Sing Yew was Zhang Liangying.

Feng Ke is Zhang Liangying's manager and her boyfriend.

This guy is almost 40 years old, ten years older than Zhang Liangying. His facial features are actually quite upright. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he not only looks a bit artistic, but also very mature and stable.

His eyes are especially calm and powerful.

This is a very ruthless businessman with a clear goal.

Zhang Liangying has not yet whitened her skin at this time, and her skin is yellow and yellow. It is not comparable to her appearance ten years later, and she looks a bit earthy.

"Hi Director Li, I'm Feng Ke, and I'm Liangying's manager. I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

Feng Ke's posture was very low, shaking hands with Li Shengyao, and bending over.

"Hi Director Li, I'm Zhang Liangying."

Although Zhang Liangying shook hands with Li Shengyao, her eyes turned to Feng Ke.

The corners of her eyes were smiling, and the corners of her mouth couldn't hold back a smile. She looked like a little girl who had fallen in love.

"Hi Mr. Feng, Ms. Zhang."

The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and Feng Ke then stated the purpose of the trip, they wanted to make the theme song for "Taken 23".

"Director Li, there is absolutely no problem with our Liangying's strength, she is definitely top-notch among the new generation of female singers."

Feng Ke patted his chest, full of confidence.

There is nothing wrong with this. Zhang Liangying is the princess of Dolphin Sound, who debuted as a super girl in 05.

Although it is No.3, she should be the singer with the most popular songs among all Super Girls, and she is stronger than Zhou Bichang and Li Yuchun in this respect.

But this point is actually useless to Li Shengyao.

There has always been a saying in the entertainment industry that bad movies come out of divine comedies, such as "Decent" should be a big bonus to "Predecessor".

But the probability of such a thing is actually very low, and it is a question of whether one of a hundred movies can be produced.

Especially for excellent movies, the more famous ones are the theme song "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic" and the theme song "let it go" from "Frozen".

Lee Sing Yew didn't expect "Taken 23" to have a very good theme song that could add to the movie.

However, Zhang Liangying and Feng Ke's thoughts gave Li Shengyao a hint of inspiration. He thought that he might be able to find a singer who would soon become famous in the beautiful country to sing the theme song of the movie.

Previously, "The Hangover" was looking for Carly Rae Jepson.

Although Carly gained a little fame later, it was still not big enough to have an impact on the movie box office.

It's not as good as the cameo Lively's help.

Li Shengyao intends to think about it carefully and find a new generation male singer who will be popular in the beautiful country in 09 and 10.

Seeing that Li Shengyao didn't answer, Feng Ke was a little surprised.

According to the news he got, the public opinion environment of "Taken 23" in the beautiful country is not very good. Isn't it a good thing to have an extra popular female singer to sing the theme song at this time?

Why is Li Shengyao indifferent?
"Director Li, our Liangying is the No. 05 Super Girl in 3. She has many fans. Huayi's new movie "Painted Skin" has invited our Liangying to sing the theme song."

Zhang Liangying joined Huayi, this move is much better than Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang.

She has obtained a lot of resources for the theme songs of film and television dramas, the most famous of which are the theme song "Painting Heart" of "Painted Skin" and the theme song "Finally Waiting for You" of "Let's Get Married".

"Painted Skin" had a high box office and set several box office records for domestic films in [-].

"Let's Get Married" has good ratings.

To a certain extent, Zhang Liangying can be regarded as a lucky general.

If "Taken 23" can only be box office in the domestic circle, Lee Sing Yew will invite Zhang Liangying.

But he still wants to make a dollar, so that won't work.

He didn't want to worry about Feng Ke and Zhang Liangying, so he shook his head, "Mr. Feng, "Taken 23" is mainly for the international market, and Ms. Zhang is not very suitable."

Feng Ke was taken aback when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Director Li, we Jingying can help promote the movie. Her English is pretty good, and she is also very stable in singing English songs."

Li Shengyao chuckled and shook his head, "I still plan to find a North American singer."

Feng Ke was still not reconciled, "Director Li, we can make songs for free, record them for free, and give them to you for free."

This time it really cost money.

Li Shengyao paused for a moment, then came to his senses.

"Taken 23" is a movie open to the whole world, so it can be regarded as an international blockbuster.

Singing the theme song of "Taken 23" is quite high quality.

There are very few singers in the Chinese-speaking circle who can sing the theme song of blockbuster movies. The more famous one is Li Wen who sang the theme song of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Seeing that Li Shengyao didn't speak, Feng Ke thought there was something going on, and said in a low voice, "Director Li, we are really sincere. We already have two good English songs here. We can give you a demo."

Li Shengyao smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I have already decided to invite a North American singer to compose the theme song."

Seeing that Li Shengyao still refused, Feng Ke was very puzzled.

"Director Li, why not use Liangying? Using her can increase the domestic box office? You use a North American singer, really..."

He didn't say anything later, he thought "Taken 23" had a bad public opinion environment in North America, so don't expect the North American box office, it's better to think about it and increase the domestic box office.

Li Shengyao naturally understood what Feng Ke meant.

Chen Xun also understood, she rolled her eyes at Feng Ke with a cold face.

The alarmist talk of some domestic media made "Taken 23" seem to have been banned in the beautiful country.

Li Shengyao understood Feng Ke's thoughts.

In fact, Xiaogangpao chatted with him yesterday, not necessarily without the intention of reading a joke.

They don't know what's going to happen next, and it's actually normal to have such thoughts.

Li Shengyao naturally doesn't need to give up on himself. Some remarks during the beautiful country's general election cannot be taken seriously, and "Taken 23" is not about to be released soon. The relationship between the two countries will be better in the future. Aohei can say good things to China, and he will release the movie again. up.

"Mr. Feng, I have already made a decision, and I will not change it."

Feng Ke had no choice but to leave with Zhang Liangying.

He looked very depressed, but Zhang Liangying didn't show much expression. She still looked at Feng Ke with a smile in her eyes, completely in a state of being in love.

Chen Xun watched Feng Ke and Zhang Liangying's backs go away, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you going to sing the theme song with?"

"An Internet celebrity, I feel that he will become popular soon."

Li Shengyao searched in his mind just now, and soon thought of Justin Bieber.

Bieber has not made his debut at this time, and is studying with Usher. He will release a new album next year.

The second album will be released in 10, and Bieber will become a hit all over the world.

"Taken 2" should not enjoy the benefits of Bieber's fire, but "Taken 3" can.

Chen Xun always trusted Li Shengyao's judgment, nodded and didn't say much.

Li Shengyao then took out his mobile phone, called his assistant in the beautiful country, and asked him to check Bieber's information.

He planned to find a time to find Bieber.
