This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 60 This is called rap

……

In the post-production office of the crew, a staff member came up to Song Shi with a stomachache on his face.

"So, Director Song, this is the promotional video?"

They have been busy these two days and everyone looks tired.

Song Shi took a puff of his cigarette, with a similar expression on his face: "Let's leave it at that for now. The time before the release is very precious. The quality of Huo Yuanjia is already very high, and anything else is just icing on the cake."

The employee was silent for a moment: "Director Song, this is not what I'm talking about..."

Anyone with normal hearing knows how beautiful Xu Feng’s new song is and how much it fits the theme and plot of their drama.

But... the problem is that Xu Feng, who was originally scheduled to appear in the promotional video, was absent from the MV of this song.

There are many examples where the lead singer of a TV series theme song is not in the promotional video, which is not surprising, but at the beginning the crew planned to let Xu Feng release the album and MV together in the next few days to form a pincer attack with the TV series promotional video to boost the popularity of each other.

The better TV drama trailers generally have two features - one is pure audio-visual shock, regardless of the plot, just edit the most exciting and passionate scenes in the TV drama together, combined with shocking music, to create a feeling of an epic blockbuster.

It’s called a “promotional film.”

The other one is less fancy, focusing on introducing the world view, story plot and characters.

It's called a "trailer".

Originally, the crew planned to have Xu Feng appear in the first promotional video to increase his influence and also borrow his popularity. However, Xu Feng did not come, so they had to change the plan temporarily.

"I know you're not talking about this." Song Shi pressed his forehead, "Xu Feng also said that as long as we don't release an official MV under his name, we can do whatever we want. Isn't that the only way?"

Every collaboration with Xu Feng has been successful, so why is there always a strange smell?
Does he really just write the songs and send them to me, and doesn't care about anything else?
No after-sales service at all?
Fortunately, although the crew changed their strategy, there were no problems with the final product and everyone was very satisfied.

The rhythm and lyrics of this song, combined with the corresponding passionate clips in the drama, together form a movie opening trailer, which is the alternative option chosen by the crew... Just from a visual perspective, it is indeed shocking.

When the drums begin to beat, it is the moment before the two masters duel on the stage... Each subsequent verse of the lyrics can also perfectly find the corresponding plot scene.

The promotional video is a feast for both the eyes and the ears, and everyone who has seen it praises it.

The staff was still a little worried: "Director Song, we won't be scolded by Xu Feng's fans, right?"

Although Xu Feng has many haters, there are also many die-hard fans who like this eccentric and talented person... Besides, who says that those who lead with this kind of rhythm must be fans of Xu Feng?

Using the fans' name to lead the tone and discredit both Xu Feng and the crew at the same time can kill two birds with one stone and disgust both parties.

Song Shi pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and lit another cigarette for himself: "I must emphasize, I must emphasize that there was a conflict between our arrangements and Xu Feng's, not a grudge in cooperation."

"He will definitely become a top composer and singer in the future, so try to avoid conflicts as much as possible."

Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future... Spending only 300,000 yuan to buy a theme song like this is an unimaginably high cost-effectiveness.

The staff member nodded and said, "Then I'll do some final touches, and the promotional video will probably be posted on various social media platforms this afternoon."

Song Shi nodded, and sighed again: "The people introduced by Lin Shenghuan are indeed very reliable in terms of business ability... I am very pleased that the younger generation can perform like this."

"But I seem to have heard that Sister Huan has encountered some trouble with copyright recently? The Queen's concert seems to be in jeopardy?"

Song Shi laughed: "She has come a long way and encountered so many setbacks, big and small, and offended so many people. I am not surprised that she encountered an accident during this concert."

"To be honest, Lin Shenghuan's pretty face sometimes becomes a burden to her... and she is unwilling to compromise."

"This is her own choice, and she has to figure it out herself... If she succeeds, she'll be a music queen. If she doesn't, it's not bad either. At least she'll be a top singer who's popular among contemporary people and a quasi-queen."

"That's a shame. Sister Huan has the ability to do this. The media for playing music has changed now. If you miss this opportunity, your chances in the future will be even slimmer."

"This is the era, this is the cruel entertainment industry. Okay, let's stop talking about other people's business and prepare for our own publicity and promotion work."

"..."

...At the same time, there were a lot of comments under the official video account of the "Liver and Gallbladder" crew, far exceeding the traffic that the crew itself should have.

The biggest contributor is naturally Xu Feng.

Everyone is very curious about the extent of cooperation between Xu Feng and the crew.

According to Xu Feng, the ending song had been given to the crew a few days ago, but there was no news from either side as to whether the song was good or not, or whether the crew accepted it.

The audience can't help but let their imagination run wild.

The more mainstream speculation now is that Xu Feng is so confident that the work he gives to the crew should be above the standard, but due to the tight creation time and the type of songs, the quality should not be as good as the previous three songs.

Suddenly, two new videos were released quietly.

Sharp-eyed netizens noticed it immediately.

"It's out! The crew has released new videos and updates!"

"Where is Xu Feng?"

"Two videos, one is the movie opening promotional video, and the other is the official trailer. Does it mention the ending song?"

"It seems that they didn't mention the rejection of the song... Then it should be what we thought before, no breakup but nothing outstanding either?"

"What the hell! They posted a message on their social media! What's going on? The song written by Xu Feng was directly changed from the ending song to the theme song!"

"Theme song???"

"The latest video they released on their video account, that movie-themed promotional video, is Xu Feng's new song! I've listened to it, it's amazing, really amazing!"

"I watched it too. Watching it together with the video, I felt the blood in my body boiling."

"Is this what Xu Feng calls rap? It's completely different from the impression I have of people dancing and shouting on the stage."

"Xu Feng is a real talent. He really is. But it's a pity that he is too talented but lacks moral integrity."

"There are so many instruments in this piece, I can't even hear them all... Does he really know everything? Is it possible that he was serious about his announcement of raising money during that live broadcast?"

"The most amazing thing is actually the composition. The use of various instruments is simply superb. It is hard to imagine that such a complex combination of instruments was completed by one person in just over ten days."

Bass player Xia You: "I'm glad to see the wonderful bass playing in this song as always! Teacher Xu Feng's performance is still very stable!"

"Is there a bass? Which part is it? Why can't I hear it?"

"Which music expert can analyze this song? The Chinese drum part at the beginning shocked me! And the electric guitar part is so cool!"

"Xu Feng actually knows Peking Opera singing... the chorus was played with a flute, and my mom asked me why I was kneeling on the ground listening to the song."

"The chorus is matched with the scene of a group of people practicing in a martial arts gym, and the aura of the martial arts masters is immediately heightened. Add to that the modern-style composition...it fits this modern martial arts film very well. Tell me honestly, how much did Xu Feng spend to write this song for you?"

"It started with the sound of drums and ended with the sound of drums. I suddenly felt that the world was in chaos and I was the one who was in charge."

"Where are you, Xu Feng? Stop hiding. Everyone knows you're awesome. Come out and show off."

"Well, I remember he said he found a new job and is busy now, so he has no time to talk to us..."

"Won't this song be his lifelong possession? What could be more important than promoting this song well?"

"Maybe it's because the variety show crew is paying him..."
