Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 56, Good news keeps coming [Please read and vote]

Afterwards, the two sides discussed some details and finally signed the contract successfully.

Shen Lang’s package price for the film is 30 yuan, and the song fee is calculated separately.

Gao Yuanyuan’s package pay is 10 yuan.

In China, there are usually two ways to calculate actors' pay.

1. By episode, the actor's pay is determined based on the number of episodes the actor plays. As for how the number of episodes is calculated, each drama has a different algorithm. In short, it is based on the contract. For example, if an actor appears in at least three scenes per episode, it is counted as one episode.

2. Package price means that the producer lets the actor read the script first, and then both parties negotiate a total salary based on how long it will take to shoot all the scenes for this role.

Of course, there are other algorithms, for example, big-name actors can propose their own conditions for dividends, etc.

Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan did not reach that level, so they used the conventional calculation method, but the pay they received was above average.

The drama "Love Across Time and Space" is scheduled to start filming in Yanjing on March 3st.

The next day, I spent a day in Haikou.

Qian Guosheng and his family of three stayed here until Qian Yufei started school.

Gao Yuanyuan returned to Yanjing.

Shen Lang came to Baodao Province.

Xinso Records, the Chinese headquarters building, is much more luxurious than the three-story villa in Yanjing.

Chen Yaochuan was in high spirits.

The huge sales of the album "Shen Lang·Radio Love Song" and the single "Fairy Tale" not only shut up those who had opposed signing Shen Lang without copyright, but also improved his status and treatment in the company.

When he saw Shen Lang coming, he went up to him and gave him a hug.

"You're so efficient that you've even got the male lead."

It is written in the contract that the company will not interfere with Shen Lang's acceptance of roles, he just needs to inform the company.

This is the freedom that Chen Yaochuan fought for.

However, the company will take a cut, but it is not the usual 60% for the company, 20% for the agent, and 20% for the artist.

Because his situation was rather complicated, there were more than a dozen clauses regarding profit sharing alone.

This contract is absolutely unique in the history of the entertainment industry.

Exclusive for time travelers.

"Can I say I was confused at the time? How did they choose me to play the leading actor?"

"It's only a matter of time. I've also been in contact with film and television companies, but we haven't found a suitable one yet."

Chen Yaochuan picked up the cigarette box on the desk, shook out a few cigarettes, handed them to Shen Lang and said, "Want one?"

Shen Lang waved his hand and said, "I'll quit. I can't stand it if I smoke too much."

Some singers like to smoke, especially when writing songs, they can't write anything without a few packs of cigarettes.

He is different, his songs are copied and he doesn't need the help of cigarettes.

Furthermore, in his previous life, he was always smoking, which caused damage to his lungs. He quit smoking after traveling through time.

Chen Yaochuan nodded. The singer's voice is very important. He lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and asked, "Your eight songs have been given to the corresponding eight female singers. Guess what?"

Shen Lang knew that he was the type of person who couldn't keep secrets, especially when good things happened, he couldn't hold it back, so he said, "I can't guess."

It's really hard to guess. Among the 8 female singers, there are newcomers and divas, and they are from different companies. It's hard to say whether they can cooperate.

Chen Yaochuan didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly, "They all agreed. You'd never guess who was the first to reply." Before Shen Lang could ask, he said, "Anita Mui and Wang Jingfei! They called within an hour and said they liked the song and could work together."

Of course, he also used his connections. He wrote five songs for Anita Mui, including "Woman Flower", and also worked with Wang Jingfei. This was indeed unexpected. Shen Lang thought it was Elva Hsiao and Cai Yilin. The two were quite enthusiastic on the day of the award ceremony.

"It's Hard to Love" is a good Cantonese duet song, so it's understandable that it touched Anita Mui.

"Because of Love" is a classic among Mandarin duet songs. It would be strange if Wang Jingfei didn't like it.

Then, the song for Elva Hsiao was "Have to Love", which was a cover of a 2004 song by a Korean group sung by Wilber Pan and Xian Zi;

The song for Kelly Chen is "Good Intentions to Break Up", which was released on July 2002, 7 and sung by Candy Lo and Lihong Wang;
The song for Jin Haixin is "Summer Blown by the Wind", a song by Lin Junjie and Jin Sha. Both Jin Haixin and Jin Sha have sweet voices.

At this point, the first phase of the new album has been successfully completed!

Next, Chen Yaochuan took Shen Lang to play in Tiaobei for a day.

It’s no wonder that in this era, the nightlife in Baodao Province is much richer than that in Yanjing.

Tut tut...

I relaxed for a day and then started recording songs.

There are a total of four songs to be recorded in Formosa Province, plus the filming of the MV, which will take about 15 to 20 days.

Stefanie Sun is still at home in Singapore, while Fish Leong is at home in Malaysia and will not come over for a few days.

The first to arrive were Elva Hsiao and Cai Yilin, and they arrived together.

New recording studio.

Shen Lang is not very concerned about "prejudice". It would be great if he could sing along with the original singer, but he would not be obsessed if he cannot.

In the song "Have to Love", Xianzi's voice is sweet, clear and high-pitched, which is eye-catching.

Elva Hsiao’s early voice was also good, with a mid-bass that had both tension and softness, bright, thick, and full of penetration.

They are all professional singers. Except for some specific songs, there is nothing they cannot sing. The only difference is their expressiveness and style.

Elva Hsiao: "I need your love every day. You can guess what I am thinking. I love you. I just want you to make my every day wonderful..."

Shen Lang: "I asked my girlfriend how you been. We've been going back and forth for a few times. I never thought that love would become so helpless. Is it fate?..."

In the recording studio, the two of them swayed their bodies to the rhythm.

Duet is a romantic musical form that aims to interpret the emotional entanglement between male and female characters through changes in voice and ups and downs of emotions, making the song more dramatic and interactive.

Two words - tacit understanding.

Obviously, there is no tacit understanding between the two of them.

Chen Yaochuan shook his head as he listened. How could it not even be as good as the demo that Shen Lang sang with Stefanie Sun before?
Cai Yilin lowered his head to hide the smile on his face. Xiao Yaxuan was no different.

"Your rhythm is not right. This song requires you to interact affectionately with your singing and create a romantic and sexy atmosphere."

After all, Chen Yaochuan is a superstar producer in the Chinese pop music scene and he definitely has the ability to guide them.

Shen Lang looked at Xiao Yaxuan and asked, "Are we not affectionate enough?"

Xiao Yaxuan was stunned: "Ah..."

Well, not enough.

Shen Lang humbly asked for advice, "Mr. Chen, how do we solve this problem?"

Chen Yaochuan held his chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "Listen carefully to each other's voice so that you can master the breath and rhythm with each other, and then pay attention to some details, such as looking at each other, smiling, body language, etc., which can make the duet more emotional and complete."

Xiao Yaxuan listened very carefully.

Even Cai Yilin pricked up her ears to listen. After all, it would be her turn soon, and she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Xiao Yaxuan.
