Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 95, Visiting the Set

The next day, around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Songwen ran to the villa and told Shen Lang that he was willing to join.

Expected.

Zhang Songwen knew very well how rare this opportunity was, so he looked at the contract as soon as he left the villa. He wanted to turn around and go back to sign the contract, but he stopped halfway, thinking that he should wait until he calmed down before making a decision.

In the evening, I read the contract and Julang Film and Television's five-year plan over and over again, and finally decided to sign and join.

He did not choose to call out of respect for the opportunity and out of courtesy for Shen Lang's appreciating him.

"Welcome to join us."

"Thank you."

Julang has added a powerful general. Although he is a late bloomer, Shen Lang can speed up Zhang Songwen.

"Shen Lang, you said that Teacher Zhang's acting skills and image are both good, so why can't he get any roles?" After Zhang Songwen left happily, Gao Yuanyuan came to Shen Lang and couldn't help asking.

"Having no background is equivalent to having no resources, and luck is also part of strength." Shen Lang also benefited from being a singer, otherwise he would be in a similar situation if he wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

Actually, Zhang Songwen's ability is not as strong as imagined, and his performance also needs to be shaped according to the role. Even "Gao Qiqiang" is still some distance away from being "a god of acting."

However, the characters and the actors themselves complement each other, such as Zhu Yin's Zixia, Liu Xiao Ling Tong's Sun Wukong, Tang Guoqiang's Zhuge Liang, and so on.

An actor being able to play a role well and look like whatever he is playing can only be considered a relatively basic level.

The highest level for a good actor should be to create a unique personal charm, that is, the soul.

Zhang Songwen's Gao Qiqiang is a soul.

Then he is a good actor.

That's enough.

There are only two situations when Shen Lang signs people: one is that they can make money; the other is that they have strong professional abilities.

There is another exception, which is the favor visa.

"By the way, I have written the theme song and ending song for this drama. Can you sing one?" Shen Lang changed the topic. He had so many songs in his head that it was natural for him to keep the music for it.

"Ah?" Gao Yuanyuan raised her finger and pointed at herself, saying, "I sing? I'm tone-deaf."

"Nonsense, it's not like I haven't heard you sing before. How can you be tone-deaf? At most, you are tone-deaf in three parts." Shen Lang said seriously.

"Oh, I'm serious." Gao Yuanyuan said coquettishly.

"Don't worry, I will personally teach you, and you will definitely be able to sing well. Even if you can't sing well, just ask Lao Qi to fix the sound later." Shen Lang looked at her, pretending to be disappointed, and changed the subject, saying: "Of course, if you really don't want to sing, I won't force you, I can only find someone else to sing."

"I... I'll sing, okay?" Gao Yuanyuan knew it was a provocation, but she enjoyed it. She then asked, "Are these the songs 'Red Stone' and 'The Crossroads Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom' that we wrote that day?"

"Well, you pick one." Shen Lang nodded.

"Which one is simpler?" Gao Yuanyuan asked again.

"Let's pick 'Red Stone'. 'The Crossroad Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom' is a bit high-level and may be difficult for you." Shen Lang replied.

"Okay, then let's go with "Red Stone." Gao Yuanyuan took the risk.

This song is the theme song of "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" in the original time and space. Shen Lang added another song to complete the beginning and the end.

"Red Stone" is the ending song, and "The Crossroad Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom" is the theme song.

Because the former is about love, and the latter is specifically written for departing students, which is more in line with this drama.

There are not many actors in the rest of the plot, mainly Gu Yuetao as Shen Lang, Gao Yuanyuan as Shen Lang, and Liu Peiqi as Uncle Qi.

Gu Yuetao and Pei Pei both live in Uncle Qi's house, and many interesting stories happen to this pair of happy enemies here.

Pei Pei's character is a typical fierce and strong woman, which is another challenge for Gao Yuanyuan. How should I put it? She has her own style of acting, and has a bit of the flavor of the blackened Zhou Zhiruo.

Also, Ninghao is very interesting.

Because Gu Yuetao and Pei Pei created a little spark of love while they were playing and fighting in the play.

The love lives of celebrities are usually kept secret from the outside world.

So he thought that Shen Lang was openly dating Gao Yuanyuan under the guise of filming.

For him to see, showing off your affection.

The most painful thing is that he can't talk about this with anyone.

Because Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan did not publicly announce that they were together, and they did not do anything excessive on the set.

The time has come to September 9th.

At this time, the sales of Shen Lang's new album "Lang" were already twice that of Na Ying's new album "I'm Not an Angel".

Within a few days, word of mouth spread, fans got involved, and sales skyrocketed.

Na Ying, who was also in Yanjing, was not in a good mood.

The key is that the sales in the first three days were very strong. She opened champagne in advance and said: "I like this album very much. This is my first time cooperating with Warner and we have achieved such results. I must reward everyone well."

She threatened to invite the company's publicity staff to travel abroad together and to cover the expenses of all food, drinks, entertainment, air tickets and accommodation during the trip.

Now, being pressured by Shen Lang again and having to pay out money, how can I be in a good mood?

It would be fine if I couldn't win, but I lost so much.

In the long history of the entertainment industry, sales are certainly important, but they are not the only criterion for measuring an artist's overall achievements.

However, the album itself exists for the purpose of spreading music. In the record era before we fully entered the Internet era, sales volume undoubtedly measured the popularity of a singer in real money.

To put it bluntly, sales volume is the most direct and convincing reflection of a singer's popularity and influence.

However, if we talk about reflecting a singer's market appeal, then the concert box office is also extremely valuable, as it represents the audience base.

Na Ying is ready to get back at this and is about to hold the "I'm Not an Angel" concert tour.

This is also her first solo concert.

The proposed guest list alone is very luxurious, including Wang Jingfei, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xinzhe and so on.

Unfortunately, Xinsuo Records is also preparing a concert for Shen Lang.

When the album "Same Time Next Year" is released, there will be more than 30 songs, enough for a concert.

The contract will expire next year. Chen Yaochuan mentioned the renewal several times, but Shen Lang just brushed it off.

Judging from the situation, it is probably very difficult and we need to work harder to squeeze out the value.

It just so happened that Shen Lang was also short of money, so they hit it off immediately.

Concerts are an important way for singers to make money, especially for some top singers, the income from concerts is very considerable.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, the tickets have to be sold.

Should he worry about this?
Back to the main story, this morning, not long after Shen Lang and his crew started filming in the villa, Zhou Xun came to the set to visit them.
