Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 32 Return
The Chinese name is "Never Give Up on You".

It also has a simpler and more straightforward song title, "Rick Shake".

It became popular in the 2024s, and because of the deceptive gameplay of netizens, it remained popular until .

Huang Ze has a feeling that even if the other two songs don’t become popular, this song can help them break through the siege!
The audience just likes this kind of thing.

What about "Little Apple", "The Most Exciting National Style" and "Gangnam Style"? If they don't make people sexy, how can they be okay?

With his lips curled up and humming Rick Shake, Huang Ze was so happy when writing lyrics and music.

Huang Ze finished writing the two songs in one night, and the next morning he went to find Wu Zhengyuan with the lyrics and music.

After listening to the first song, Wu Zhengyuan tilted his head and looked at Huang Ze, "You didn't write it all in advance, and then show off your writing speed, right?"

"I had an idea in my head ahead of time, but the specific lyrics and music were only written last night."

"Hey, it's not important. Just write it down, even if it was written last year." Wu Zhengyuan smiled and nodded in praise, "The quality of this song is no less than "This Love Can Wait"."

"You really surprise me more and more."

"Come on, keep singing, let me hear the last song." There was a hint of anticipation in Wu Zhengyuan's eyes.

She had a feeling that signing the man in front of her might be the best decision she had ever made.

"The style of the last song is slightly different." Huang Ze said.

"How is it different? Sing it first and we'll talk later."

“Yeah.” Huang Ze twisted his neck and started singing, “We are no stranger to love.”

"you know the rules and so do I..."

After the song was finished, Wu Zhengyuan didn't say anything. He just thought for a while, then crossed his arms and looked at Huang Ze, "Let me guess, you should have a matching dance in your head, right?"

"Mr. Wu, how did you know?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If it's available, just bring it out." Wu Zhengyuan said with a smile, "Let me take a look. If it's suitable, I can make a music video for your song. That stuff isn't cheap."

"I'll sing and dance at the same time."

Huang Ze recalled the scene of Rick Shake. The dance moves of Rick Shake were actually not that difficult. After all, he had a foundation in martial arts and good body coordination, so he could do it. The key was to keep up with the beat, so that he could have that brainwashing feeling.

After brewing for more than ten seconds, go ahead!
Huang Ze was the first to twist.

With a confident smile on her face, just like in the original MV version,

Wu Zhengyuan watched and laughed while clapping to the beat. When Huang Ze finished dancing, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Great, no problem. An MV doesn't cost much. Let's do it!"

"You will be responsible for arranging the music and getting the three English songs ready first. Then I can find someone to shoot the MV. There are quite a few people in Hong Kong who can shoot MVs."

"If you have any ideas, just tell Chen Xing directly. Then we can shoot according to your feeling. It will be a perfect MV if it matches the rhythm of this song."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu." Huang Ze nodded and walked out of the office.

In the next seven days, Huang Ze did two things.

First, with the help of the Warner Records production team, we finished the three English songs.

The second is to prepare the MV in advance.

To this end, Huang Ze took great pains and first drew each scene in the form of storyboards.

I went to the barber shop and got a fashionable hairstyle, with my hair standing up and in a crew cut.

I also bought three sets of clothes: a suit, a windbreaker, and a denim jumpsuit.

He also asked Chen Xing to find an empty restaurant or hotel and rent it for a few hours when there were not many people.

This MV was shot in the hotel.

Make one based on the original song’s MV.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the MV director was already there.

This is a man who is 1.9 meters tall.

Look at the eyebrows, the face shape, and the glasses.

Huang Ze felt that this person was somewhat familiar.

"Brother Chen, where did you find this director?"

"Someone else introduced him to me." Chen Xing lowered his voice and said, "I don't know him either. I heard he worked in a TV station. Don't worry, shooting an MV is easier than shooting a TV show. Besides, you've already drawn the storyboards. He said he was the MV director, but he won't even put his name in the MV. What's the difference between him and a script supervisor? Don't worry, Mr. Wu has high hopes for you. You'll be the boss of this crew."

"Oh?" Chen Xing said so, but Huang Ze still felt that the other person looked like someone. He walked over and stretched out his hand, and tentatively asked in Shanghainese, "Hello, I'm Huang Ze. May I ask your last name, director?" "No, it's Wang." The other person also spoke in Shanghainese, and seemed to know what Huang Ze wanted to say, and explained, "From your accent, I know you're from Shanghai. I lived in Shanghai before I was five years old, and later my parents took me to Hong Kong Island. We can be considered fellow villagers."

"Yes!"

Huang Ze nodded and confirmed.

King of sunglasses!
No, he’s not wearing sunglasses yet, so his name should be Wang Jiawei.

He should still be a screenwriter now.

A screenwriter whose boss asked him to write a script for a play. By the time he finished writing the script, the film company had already finished filming the sequel.

Oh my god.

Huang Ze was shocked when he thought of his various achievements.

If he were the director, how long would it take to shoot this MV?
Huang Ze was a little panicked. He took the storyboard and explained it to Wang Jiawei.
The meaning is very simple, just shoot it like this, don't bother me.

The other party nodded repeatedly and asked, "Are you a director?"

"I'm an assistant director at the Shanghai Film Studio."

"I think this storyboard is also very well drawn."

"Just dance as you like, and I'll shoot it for you according to the storyboard."

"it is good!"

Huang Ze walked to the camera half-believingly.

The song is just over three minutes long, and we finished filming it in less than two hours.

"All right!"

"I'll take care of the rest of the editing. Thank you." After the filming, Huang Ze walked up to Wang Jiawei and extended his hand to shake his hand again.

"Do you know how to do this?"

“I know a little bit!” Huang Ze knew that the other party wanted to edit it, but he was really afraid that he would play with frame cutting in the MV. This MV was supposed to be entertaining and cheerful, and couldn’t stand such a trick.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Wang Jiawei stretched out his hand, shook hands with Huang Ze, then took the money and left.

On that day, Huang Ze personally went into the editing room and edited his first MV.

It was well dubbed, and I watched it once, and it was well edited.

When Wu Zhengyuan was called to watch it again, he was overjoyed, "Aze, once you put on your sunglasses and windbreaker, you are no worse than Chow Yun-fat in The Bund!"

"I can't guarantee it will be popular in other places, but I think in Hong Kong Island, with this MV, this song, and this face, it is certain that you will be popular. The difference is how popular you will be."

"Stay in Hong Kong Island? Here you can fully display your talents." Wu Zhengyuan said casually.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu." Huang Ze shook his head, "We agreed on this before."

"I'm just making a suggestion. I won't force you if you don't want to. I just think it's a pity. Anyway, let's contact each other by phone when the time comes. If there are any activities and you have time and can take time off, come and visit."

"I try my best."

"Forehead."

……

August 10th.

Because I have to go to Venice to attend the film festival.

After staying in Hong Kong Island for fifty days, nearly two months, Huang Ze returned to his loyal Shanghai.

After getting off the plane and putting his things at home, Huang Ze rushed to the Shanghai Film Studio and called Gong Xing to the corridor.

"Wow, I'm finally back."

Gong Xing's eyes sparkled as he came over and straightened Huang Ze's collar. "How is it? Comrade Huang, how do you feel about living a life of feasting and revelry in Hong Kong Island?"

"Normally!" Huang Ze curled his lips, "I always look at everything with a critical attitude."

"Oh." Gong Xing suddenly realized and stared at Huang Ze's cheek, "Then the lipstick marks on your face, are you also accepting them with criticism?"

"No way? You must be lying to me."
