Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 103, "Gossip Queen"

"Hello, Mr. Shen and Ms. Du."

"Hello."

"Hello."

In front of Shen Lang and Du Ting is Alyssa Chia.

Du Ting came with me.

Shen Lang made an appointment with Alyssa Chia in the name of Julang Film and Television to discuss the drama "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Alyssa Chia is 28 years old now, which is much older than Zhou Zhiruo in the novel, but it doesn’t have much impact.

The key is image.

In the entertainment industry, appearance and talent are often the topics that people talk about with great relish. There was once a widely circulated passage in which Andy Lau commented on two actresses from Formosa Province. He said: "The most beautiful one under 1 meters is Alyssa Chia, and the most beautiful one over 6 meters is Lin Chi-ling."

In 1998, Alyssa Chia won the title of "Pretty Baby" in an online poll in Formosa Province, and this year she was ranked 66th among the world's top sexiest women.

But his height is indeed a flaw, and his neck is a little short, and these two factors together make him look rough and dull.

She's still okay overall.

how to say.

In the original time and space, Alyssa Chia originally wanted to play Zhou Zhiruo, but the role was given to Gao Yuanyuan purely because Lai Shuiqing felt that Gao Yuanyuan looked like Zhou Ximei.

Lai Shuiqing was the director of the 93 version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" in which Zhou Ximei played Zhou Zhiruo and Maggie Cheung played Zhao Min.

The final result is that Gao Yuanyuan cannot surpass Zhou Ximei's classic, and Alyssa Chia cannot surpass Lai Zi's classic.

So if they swap roles, the difference isn't that big, just reaching seven or eight points is enough.

"I've read the script. Thank you Mr. Shen for inviting me. I'm also very happy to play such a good role as Zhou Zhiruo."

"Then we will cooperate happily."

After not much discussion, both parties signed the contract.

There are two reasons why Alyssa Chia is so straightforward.

First, her father's death did not take away the huge debt owed from the failed business, so she had to work hard to film movies to pay off the debt.

Secondly, he shifted the focus of his career to the mainland since 99, but only filmed three dramas, "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li", "The Heroes of the Children of Han Dynasty", and "The Emperor of Han Dynasty". These were too few, and he urgently needed more dramas to increase his popularity in the mainland.

With a salary of 10 yuan, adapted from Jin Yong's classic novel, and playing the second female lead, there was no reason for her not to take this role.

We had another meal together at noon.

In the afternoon, Shen Lang left Tiaobei and returned to Yanjing, and Du Ting had to stay in the company for a few days to handle some matters.

"Positive energy, passion, enthusiasm, never give up..."

Gao Yuanyuan leaned over the desk and glanced at the words on the notebook, and asked curiously, "Is it the theme of the new song?"

Shen Lang nodded and replied: "The Football Association asked me to write a song for the national football team. These are the requirements."

Gao Yuanyuan gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said thoughtfully, "It seems to be a different style from your previous songs. Is it difficult to write?"

Shen Lang blurted out: "It's difficult."

Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go home and get something."

After saying that, he got up and left the bedroom.

However, Shen Lang only said half of the words, the other half was "choice".

There are so many songs, it's hard to choose.

For example, "I Believe", "Proud Boy", "Fly Higher", "Blooming Life", "Stubborn", "The First Dream" and so on.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Lang started writing and finished it in one go.

The other songs have also been arranged and will be taken to the Copyright Office to register the copyright later.

After he finished writing, just as he was about to go out, Gao Yuanyuan came back from home.

"Hmph~" She squinted her eyes, shook the newspaper in her hand, and hummed at Shen Lang. "What's wrong?" Her actions confused Shen Lang, who didn't understand what she meant.

"Congratulations, you have a new rumored girlfriend!" Gao Yuanyuan said gritting her teeth.

"Ah?" Shen Lang was stunned, and then denied it three times: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Read it yourself." Gao Yuanyuan handed him the newspaper.

[The mainland gossip king vs. Formosa gossip queen, Shen Lang and Alyssa Chia travel together to Taibei, both of them are very happy! ]

The title is quite explosive.

In the blurry photo, Shen Lang and Alyssa Chia were talking and laughing at the dinner table.

Shen Lang was quite speechless.

The entertainment industry is full of bizarre things, and scandals are a common side dish. People are as enthusiastic about it as they are about watching TV dramas.

As long as star A and star B are a little bit close, they will be captured by the ubiquitous paparazzi, who will then add fuel to the fire and a scandal drama will begin.

People always enjoy discussing these things, after all, who doesn’t like to read some gossip?

"Angry? You know, I went to sign her to play Zhou Zhiruo this time. We started talking in a cafe, and then we went to have a meal after signing the contract. Sister Du was there the whole time."

"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the media. How can they write nonsense based on an incomplete photo?"

Shen Lang hugged Gao Yuanyuan and said, "Once an incident reaches the entertainment media, it will become an accident. Just get used to it."

Gao Yuanyuan snorted again and asked, "Are you going out?"

Shen Lang replied, "The song is done. I'm going to go to the Copyright Bureau to register the copyright. Do you want to go with me?"

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head, looking like a young wife, and said, "I won't go. It's almost time for dinner. I'll cook and wait for you to come back."

Shen Lang went to the entrance to change his shoes and said, "I'll be back soon."

Half an hour later.

He arrived at the Copyright Office and started filling out forms.

He is familiar with the song copyright registration process.

1. Submit materials, including an application for work registration, identification documents of the author or other copyright owner and proof of copyright ownership of the work, as well as a description of the work.

2. Fill in the "Work Registration Form" and "Rights Guarantee".

3. Pay the fees.

4. After receiving the application materials for work registration, the work registration authority shall conduct verification in accordance with the regulations, and the verification period is one month.

5. Works that have been verified to meet the conditions for voluntary registration of works will be issued a work registration certificate by the work registration authority and announced.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. This is our job. Walk slowly."

The staff at the Copyright Bureau knew Shen Lang before he became famous and often came to visit them.

After leaving the Copyright Office, he drove to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, as there were not many left in the refrigerator.

Now when he goes out, he always wears a baseball cap, and sometimes wears sunglasses and a mask to reduce the chance of being recognized.

At first, it felt great to be recognized on the street, but once the novelty wore off, I felt it was better to keep quiet.

At the same time, in order to prevent being followed by paparazzi, he also bought some basic anti-detection books to read.

After dinner, Gao Yuanyuan and I went to bed early.

The next morning.

Shen Lang came to the Julang Film and Television Building.

The investment in the drama "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was all raised, with a total budget of 2000 million. His Julang contributed 20%, Qian Guosheng and Fang Wanhua's Shenghua contributed 40%, and the remaining 40% was shared by China Audiovisual Global Media Group, Baodao Gaoguanhong Film and Television, and Singapore MediaCorp.

Next is the matter of casting.
