Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 195 System A-level Evaluation

The promotional title of the drama "Infernal Affairs 2" was written by Tang Wen himself:

"Infernal Affairs Prelude, the Epic of the Eastern Godfather"

Wu Zhenyu, who plays the villain in the film, will have his status elevated because of this movie.

Tang Wen basically did not change the story structure.

The only difference is that the female lead was changed from Liu Jialing to Wang Zuxian.

Of course this kind of play has to promote its own people.

In addition, one other change was made.

In the drama, Ni Yongxiao, played by Wu Zhenyu, died after being shot in the head and fell into his brother's arms.

He found his tape recorder and played it back for him before he died.

In other words, after being shot in the head, he held on for several seconds.

This is a bit exaggerated, so Tang Wen was changed to be shot in the chest, and the rest remained unchanged.

The premiere of "Infernal Affairs 2" is being prepared.

When "A World Without Thieves" premiered in early July.

A liquor brand generously sponsored the event, providing millions in funding.

Tang Wen gave them the brand title on the spot.

This time, "Infernal Affairs 2" is released and a premiere is also planned to be held.

Sanyuan Dairy, with which we were cooperating, approached us and asked for sponsorship, offering a price of 1.5 million.

Tangwen and Sanyuan are working together to develop two new dairy products.

One is called Sanyuan yogurt.

The brands and trademarks have all been registered, and the formula is being prepared.

The boxed version is going to sell for 1.5 yuan, and the bottled version is going to sell for 3 yuan.

At the same time, they are preparing to jointly research a product called Nutri-Express.

Sanyuan originally thought that the offer of 1.5 million was not a small amount.

However, their competitor, Sanlu got wind of the news and offered even more.

The asking price is three million.

Tang Wen was very tempted, but then rejected them.

He dared not get involved with such a company.

After Sanyuan Dairy learned about this, they felt that Tang Wen was very considerate.

In Beijing dialect, it is called "juqi", so the price was increased to three million.

The only additional requirement is to invite a female artist under Tang Wen to endorse the advertisement.

Advertising fees are extra.

in the office.

Tang Wen browsed the company's financial statements.

The princess seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around to look at him: "Old Tang, I helped a lot with Zu Xian's album, where are my songs?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her white little hand.

It looks like you want to get it now.

"It's ready. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Really? What if I'm not satisfied?" The princess raised her chin and made up her mind: no matter what the song Tang Wen gave her, she would say she was not satisfied.

"Both the lyrics and the music are excellent, and it's a dialogue that transcends time and space. If you're not satisfied, that means you're greedy." Tang Wen replied without even raising his head.

"What do you mean by transcending time and space?" The princess was moved and stood up and walked towards Tang Wen.

Except for Jia Jingwen, everyone present was a musician.

I was very interested when I heard that.

"Hold on."

Tang Wen was indeed well prepared. He picked up the phone on the table and called Xia Tian using the internal number: "Bring over the demo song you bought from Teacher Cao Junhong."

Teacher Cai Junhong?

Musicians are no strangers to this name.

This man has produced many well-known songs.

For example, Huang Yingying's "Snow is Burning", Zhang Xinzhe's "Over the Fire"...

He is a well-known composer and producer.

After a while, Xia Tian walked in.

In his hand were two tapes and a copy of the contract.

He reported to Tang Wenhui: "Mr. Tang, according to your instructions, the Copyright Department offered a price to buy out the song and reached an agreement with Miss Deng Lijun's family. However, the price is a bit high."

Tang Wen opened the contract and glanced at the price, only a million.

If it were a complete set of songs by Teresa Teresa, you definitely wouldn't be able to buy it at this price.

The copyright company will not agree to it either.

But it was enough to buy out the demo, which was only half sung and never released.

Anyway, they won't create any value if left alone, so it's better to sell them to Tang Wen.

If Tang Wen operates well, it will arouse people's nostalgia for Deng Lijun, and they might be able to make some money as well.

"What song? Teresa Teresa?"

Not only the princess was surprised, but everyone in the room, including Jia Jingwen, stood up with sparkling eyes.

Tang Wen looked at them. Well, the youngest were born in the 70s.

Teresa Teresa is definitely the idol and memory of their generation.

"Old Tang, don't keep us in suspense!" The princess grabbed Tang Wen's arm.

"Don't worry, help me bring the recorder over."

There's no way, digital audio was just becoming popular those days.

Even Tang Wen had to use a tape recorder to play the tape.

"Is it really a song by Teresa Tang? It's a demo? What do you mean, she didn't finish recording it?"

The princess couldn't calm down at all.

You know, she has liked Teresa Teresa for a long time.

Many people believe that her debut work was in Hong Kong, with the album called "Wang Jingwen".

Then it became an instant hit.

In fact, she covered two versions of Teresa Teresa's songs when she was a sophomore in high school in Beijing.

Her musicality began to develop at an early age, as her mother was a soprano singer in the coal mine art troupe.

Several other people also gathered in front of Tang Wen's desk.

As if I could hear it earlier this way.

The princess bent down to plug in the tape recorder.

Tang Wen inserted the tape and explained, "After Deng Lijun recorded the demo of this song, she passed away. I bought it and after listening to it, I found that it really suits Lao Wang."

"Who is Lao Wang? It's so ugly! Play some music now."

I don’t know if it’s because Xie Tingfeng chose the younger Zhang Baizhi.

Anyway, she has been getting more and more annoyed by the word "old" lately.

"The composer is Cai Junhong, who wrote the lyrics?" Zhang Yadong asked when he had time.

Tang Wen shrugged: "Yadong, you got the point. The lyricist is the master - Li Bai."

"what?"

Click.

Without waiting for them to ask any more questions, Tang Wen pressed the play button.

The room suddenly became quiet.

The tape started turning and the prelude slowly started playing.

Deng Lijun's natural and gentle voice flows slowly:

"The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze blows over the threshold and the flowers are gorgeous"

Li Bai's "Qingping Diao"

The words are very beautiful.

The music is also good.

It complements this poem very well.

But the musicians present all frowned at the same time.

The vocals are a bit weak.

This demo was left out for too long after it was recorded.

Although it is well preserved, the sound quality is not as good as it used to be.

An outsider like Jia Jingwen can't hear it.

Everyone else noticed something was wrong.

No one spoke, everyone just listened quietly.

More than two minutes passed.

Tang Wen pressed pause before everyone expressed their opinions.

Zhang Yadong: “The music is good, but the sound quality has deteriorated a bit and may not be able to be repaired.”

In the previous life, the song "Qingping Diao" by Princess Wang & Deng Lijun was released in 2015.

The audio editing technology at that time was incomparable to that of today.

Just look at the internet celebrities of later generations and you will know that once the music card is turned on, everyone can be a professional singer.

But actually?
How many people dare to sing on stage with the microphone on?
The princess and Liu Huan also frowned and nodded.

The decline in music quality is indeed a problem.

Tang Wen smiled and picked up another tape: "This one is purely for instrumental music. Sister Fei, please get ready and sing it."

A singer with a little talent can sing it almost perfectly after listening to the original work once. Plus the song "Qingping Diao", it is not complicated.

But the queen of pop looked embarrassed: "Uh, show me the lyrics."

Zhang Yadong and Liu Huan shook their heads and laughed.

Tang Wen complained: "Sister Fei, your Chinese language is not good in middle school."

The princess looked at him and retorted, "When I took the college entrance examination, universities had not yet expanded their enrollment, and I finally got an admission letter from Xiamen University! Excuse me, classmate Tang Wen, how many points did you get in the college entrance examination?"

Tang Wen felt like he was stabbed in the chest, and argued: "I was just obsessed with music and creation, and didn't study hard. For an artist, who cares about academic qualifications?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Huan laughed out loud.

Seeing the two people looking at him, Liu Huan waved his hand calmly: "Well, I applied to the School of International Relations."

Tang Wen and the princess were instantly speechless.

Wang Zuxian and Jia Jingwen didn't understand, so Sanbao next to them explained: "This school is harder to get into than Peking University and Tsinghua University."

Peking University and Tsinghua University are too famous. After hearing this, the two girls immediately understood.

By the way, Sanbao graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music.

Ka Ka Ka

The printer spit out a piece of paper with the printed lyrics of "Qingping Diao" on it.

The accompaniment sounds.

The princess cleared her throat and began to sing in her unique ethereal voice.

The princess is singing.

Jia Jingwen looked like a fangirl looking at her idol, with an expression that said she was very lucky today.

When she finished singing, everyone applauded, but no one commented.

To be honest, the princess is just being chased by God and fed by God, there is nothing good to say about her.

Even if it’s the first time singing, there will be imperfections.

But no one present could think of anyone who could surpass him.

"Old Tang, what do you think?" The princess wanted to hear Tang Wen's opinion.

Tang Wen curled his lips: "You are a gifted freak, I have no problem with that."

"Haha, I asked you how you wanted to make this song." The princess smiled and patted his shoulder.

Tang Wen: "It's simple. Take Teresa Teng's voice to a North American music company, fix it, and then you sing the second half."

"But her vocals are a little weak."

"No problem. The fuzzy sound quality and weak vocals can create a feeling of traveling through history, which gives people more room for imagination. Your voice is cold and ethereal. When you sing, you should go for high-frequency and bright sounds, and the contrast between the past and the present will come out..."

Tang Wen talked freely, and when he looked up after he finished speaking, he found that they were staring at him.

"What? Am I wrong?"

This song did just that in my previous life.

Zhang Yadong shook his head: "If you don't want to be a director, it's fine for you to be a music producer."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Tang Wen waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm just talking about my ideas, you guys can do the details yourself."

It's impossible to be a music producer.

Director Tang is so busy, with so many actresses in the circle seeking advancement waiting for his guidance. How can he have the time to be a producer?

After checking his watch, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go. I'll treat you all to dinner in the company cafeteria."

The princess and her family had eaten here last time and knew that the chef’s cooking skills were excellent.

Wang Zuxian led the way and walked side by side with the princess in front.

Tang Wen fell to the end and looked at Jia Jingwen: "Let's go together."

Jia Jingwen gave an ambiguous smile and came over to hold Tang Wen's arm, but was avoided.

Jia Jingwen was so smart that she immediately whispered, "It seems that there is someone in the company. A vixen like me from outside won't be kicked out, right?"

After saying this, she looked left and right, looking very cautious and worried about her personal safety.

But the cunning gleam in her eyes betrayed her.

"Are you afraid yet dare to come?"

Speaking of which, he and Jia Jingwen had only had a few contacts.

The time we spent together was not as long as the time we spent in bed.

But using his lower body to think, he knew that she must have something to ask of him.

Tang Wen: "I asked you last night and you said it was okay. It seems you still have a request?"

Hearing him talk about last night, Jia Jingwen's pretty face turned slightly red and she glared at him gently.

It's just that her eyes are naturally seductive.

It would be better to say it is seduction rather than glaring.

Jia Jingwen quietly approached him and said angrily, "Is it my fault? I didn't have time to tell you."

This one sentence made Tang Wen feel full of pride.

"Of course it's your fault."

"Blame me?" Jia Jingwen blinked.

"Well," Tang Wen said seriously, looking straight ahead, "It's your fault that you are too beautiful."

Jia Jingwen smiled and said, "Director Tang really knows how to please girls."

"wrong."

"Huh?" She looked unconvinced.

"It has to be worthy of my liking."

Jia Jingwen was stunned for a moment, then her eyes curved: Doesn't this mean that I am worthy of your love?

However, she soon met more people that Tang Wen liked.

After a group of people sat down in a special box downstairs.

Dong Xuan walked in first.

With Tang Wen's introduction, he greeted the princess and others.

She claimed to be a fan of the princess.

The princess glanced at Tang Wen and pulled her to sit beside her.

Jia Jingwen smiled and looked at her silently: Compared with Dong Xuan, Huo Siyan is probably just a maid.

After a while, Li Xiaoran came in and happened to meet the eyes of Jia Jingwen who was pouring tea for Tang Wen.

Li Dabai nodded: Well, it seems there is another sister.

Jia Jingwen smiled: Is this a company or a harem?

However, she looked miserable.

The company's official wife should be Dong Xuan.

A few minutes later, Wang Xinling and Zhang Jingying knocked on the door timidly, their two pairs of big eyes blinking, looking at Tang Wen and then at the princess.

Needless to say, they are both fans of the princess.

The princess laughed at Tang Wen: "I am indeed the most popular singer in the Chinese music scene!"

We drank and chatted, and the meal lasted until midnight.

Not surprisingly, the most popular singer drank too much.

Liu Huan also fell asleep.

Tang Wen held on to the end with his 90-point physical strength, handing the people over to his assistant one by one.

After everyone left, he took Dong Xuan into a Mercedes-Benz business car.

As soon as he got in the car, Dong Xuan, who was originally like a drunk cat, reached out and pressed the switch to raise the front and rear fenders.

Separate the back seat from the driver.

"Hey, you're not drunk?"

"Humph!" Dong Xuan threw himself into his arms and asked with narrowed eyes, "What's the situation with Jia Jingwen?"

"What's up with her?"

"Her eyes are almost falling on you."

"That just shows that I'm handsome. If you're worried, you can check it when you get home tonight."

When Dong Xuan heard this, her legs went weak and her heart felt weak. She had never won a single battle before.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Don't bully a weak girl."

"Haha, if I don't bully you now, how can I bully you in the future if what you said is true?"

Dong Xuan: “…”

What you said makes sense.

The next day.

Tang Wen had just gotten into the car but hadn't arrived at the company yet.

There is a message from the system.
