One person's entertainment

Chapter 31, The Big Liar is Online
Donglaishun Restaurant is one of the "Four Great Shuns" halal restaurants in the capital, and is also the leader among the old Yanjing copper pot hot pot restaurants. It is well-known in the capital, and this is the only restaurant worth eating.

Shen Lingyou and Jiang Qinqin arrived as promised.

In such a situation, introductions and courtesies were indispensable, and both sides even praised each other.

The director of "The Secret History of Kangxi 1" is Zhang Zien, who started his directorial career in 79. His more representative works are the costume drama "Marrying the Wrong Man" and the Republican drama "Moment in Peking" directed a few years later. The former stars Sha Yi and Huang Yi, and the latter stars Pan Yueming and Zhao Wei, contributing a lot of topics in the original time and space.

There is no need to say much about Zhang Guoli. She forms the iron triangle of Qing Dynasty dramas with Wang Gang and Zhang Tielin. She is one of the professional emperor players in the Chinese entertainment circle. The TV series "Liu Luoguo" starring her last year was the annual ratings champion.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Zien got straight to the point and said, "I want this song "Rivers and Mountains Are Unlimited". I wonder how much you want to sell it for?"

Shen Lingyou liked his directness. It was too troublesome to beat around the bush. He immediately raised his right hand, stretched out five fingers, and said, "5."

"5?"

Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli looked at each other with playful eyes.

Although he is young, he has a big appetite.

When they were chatting last night, they thought it would be just a few thousand, or at most over ten thousand.

As soon as Shen Lingyou came over, he asked for 5 yuan. Was he fearless? Or was he ignorant?

This song is good, but for a TV series, it is just the icing on the cake and will not have much impact on the ratings.

To put it simply, there is no essential difference between using good songs or bad songs.

As a director, Zhang Zien only considers the current interests and how much the TV series can sell, but he does not think about whether a song in his TV series will be regarded as a classic in a few years or decades.

The key point is that Shen Lingyou has additional conditions.

We don’t sell copyrights, we only sell the right to use.

What do you mean?
The drama Kangxi can be used as the theme song, interlude, ending song, and can be made into a TV series soundtrack, and singers can perform it freely.

After listening to this, Zhang Zien wanted to say one thing: Are you here to play tricks on us?

Zhang Guoli also thought it was too much. Even if there was a popular song, it couldn't be so outrageous.

"TV series are a combination of audio-visual art, which promotes the development of the plot and is the concentration and summary of TV series..."

"The theme song is the core music of the TV series. It closely revolves around the theme, main content and central characters, forming a certain musical image and playing a role in deepening the theme. The emotions it expresses can easily touch the hearts of the audience and are more easily accepted by the audience..."

"It can be said that the TV series and the theme song are closely connected, and they are the soul and essence of a TV series..."

Shen Lingyou talked eloquently, throwing out all kinds of theories at once, and talking about how important the relationship between the theme song and the TV series was.

All the words revolve around the word "value", which can also be seen as Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself.

If you don’t praise your product to the sky, who would pay for it?

The original owner had been traveling around the country with his parents for many years doing business, and had learned a lot from them, so he knew some sales tactics.

In addition, as an entertainment novel author, he has mastered a lot of knowledge and information about songs, TV series, and movies.

Taken together, they make for a whole set of ideas.

Even an old hand who has been working in this industry for many years would be stunned by this.

"Director Zhang, Teacher Guo Li, this 5 yuan will not buy you any loss or deception. What you are buying is the lifetime right to use the song "Jiang Shan Wuxian". In other words, if you want to shoot Kangxi 234567... no matter how many movies you want in the future, you can directly use this song without paying any additional copyright fees."

Shen Lingyou tried his best and was just about to shout out "Family members, 321, go to the link."

Before coming, he thought of two plans.

One set is what I just mentioned, money + copyright.

The other set is that the songs can be used for free and the copyright still belongs to him, on the condition that he changes to another role in Kangxi 2.

There are five parts of Kangxi in total, the first four of which were starred by Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie, and the ratings were very good.

To put it bluntly, this plan is to exchange songs for opportunities, get more exposure, and pave more roads. With two major cheating tools, the time traveler and the plug-in, it is better to give up small things for big things and focus on long-term development instead of anxiously pursuing short-term gains.

Later, I thought about it carefully, and realized that only a few people in the Kangxi series were popular, while the others had little fame. If I forcibly added a character into the series, it might become popular, or it might not.

Furthermore, his plan was to focus on music in the three years of 96, 97, and 98, build his reputation, and then move into film and television.

Therefore, the first solution was finally adopted.

"Can songs have these effects on TV dramas?"

Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli focused on the plot and performance, leaving the music composition to the composer.

Is it...

Really overlooked this?
"And how did he know they were planning to film a sequel?"

Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli were quite surprised. Jiang Qinqin was not aware of this decision, and only a few main creators knew about it.

but……

Whether to film it or not depends on how it performs after it airs.

However, after hearing what Shen Lingyou said, he suddenly felt that 5 didn't seem like a lot, and it was even cheap.

Zhang Zien: Has the money been spent?

Zhang Guoli: This kid is quite interesting!

Jiang Qinqin, who was standing by, had been completely stunned from the moment Shen Lingyou asked for 5 yuan until this moment.

How come he is so good at talking? He is simply an eloquent person.

He is two years younger than me, but how come he looks two years older?

After a moment of silence, Zhang Guoli said, "I'm quite curious about how you wrote this song. It actually fits the theme of our drama so well. You know, our drama is still in post-production and the plot has not been revealed to the public."

Shen Lingyou was secretly delighted at the situation. He had been prepared for this question and said immediately, "Teacher Guo Li may not have much contact with songwriters. Sometimes, when writing a song, you don't need too many references. Maybe a picture, a sentence, or a moment can give you enough inspiration."

First, I laid the groundwork to make it more reasonable, and then said: "I wrote the song "Jiangshan Wuxian" based on the seven words of 'Kangxi's Secret Visits'."

"what?"

Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli screamed in shock and almost stood up from their chairs.

Jiang Qinqin covered her mouth and widened her eyes.

Qiong Yao gave her the stage name "Shui Ling" because she felt she was as pretty as water and had a charming aura.

At this moment, she looked so surprised and as lively as an elf.

Frankly speaking, Shen Lingyou is really pretentious.

In ancient times, Cao Zhi could compose a poem in seven steps, and now he can compose a song with seven words.

To be honest, Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli didn’t really believe it.

How is it possible to understand an entire drama based on its title?

However, in just this short period of time, the two of them had two different perceptions of Shen Lingyou. At first, they thought he was small in stature but had a big appetite, but now they thought he was a little off the mark.

It can be said that the impression Shen Lingyou gave them was a process of "not good → okay → not good", and it was constantly changing.

At this moment, Shen Lingyou was laughing secretly.

Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli responded very well, and this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Without exaggerating, how can we make them willingly spend the 5 yuan?
