Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 58

In the KTV corridor where people come and go.

Lu Jiang's face turned pale.

The combination of drunkenness and fear made him vomit again while leaning against the wall.

After spitting, he wiped his mouth, declined the help of the man in black who appeared for the third time, and walked forward.

Walked all the way.

Box 1 was still harmonious.

The new goddess and her friends sang happily.

Box 2 also welcomed another young man who broke in.

After the door opened, I could vaguely see a hot goddess dancing on the table.

Lu Jiang didn't look closely because he was quickly pushed to the side of the corridor by the aggressive group of men in black.

The men in black ignored him, just passed by quickly, and then broke into box three.
Until Lu Jiang's brothers and friends appeared.

This chaotic yet orderly, bizarre and thrilling cycle has finally come to an end.
At the end of the scene, Lu Jiang and his brothers are chasing the car heading to the next cycle.

The video ends here.

The screen fades to black.

Display subtitles.

"Not Drunk"

"Director Lu Jiang's Works"

"Starring:"

Then the screen went dark again.

The screen is divided into two halves, one half is a scrolling list of cast and crew subtitles.

On the other side are the behind-the-scenes footage of "Not Drunk".

But Xie Tingfeng couldn't bear it anymore.

He turned off the remote.

Close your eyes.

Take a long breath silently.

This is stagnant energy.

no way.

The one-shot filming of "Not Drunk" was indeed very good.

It is worthy of being a Venice award-winning short film.

The script is indeed interesting and profound.

Lu Jiang's acting skills are also quite good.

The only problem is.

How could God give so many talents to one person!
Written, directed and acted.

Such a cool shooting method was also used.

He won the award.

Xie Tingfeng felt his neck was very stiff at this moment.

That was the feeling of oppression coming from Lu Jiang.

"Afeng, are you okay?"

At this time, Huo Wenxi on the side said with concern.

"Okay, it's okay."

Xie Tingfeng opened his eyes, twisted his neck, and quickly calmed down. "Let's continue listening to the music. Let's start with the songs in this short film."

Lu Jiang’s album will only go on sale tomorrow, but that’s only for ordinary people. For big companies, getting the goods in advance is not a problem at all.

However, because Lu Jiang's new album was not officially released until today due to the Golden Lion Award, he was able to learn about the situation in advance today.

Now that I've seen the short film, it's really awesome.

But if the quality of the song is average, then there is still a chance of winning.

After all, in addition to the two albums in July and August, he originally planned to release another album around November. The quality is not as good as the second one, but it is not much different. It is basically more than enough to grab the heat and consolidate popularity. If necessary, it can be released in advance to strengthen the encirclement.

So now, everyone’s task is to see whether the other party is invincible.

However, the assistant started looking through the track list and shook his head, saying, "There's no song with the same title as the short film. There's only one called 'Not Returning Until Drunk,' and it's the last one."

"Not Returning Without Being Drunk" is the original version of "Not Being Drunk".

This name was changed to distinguish it from the Golden Lion short film.

"This should be it, play it."

Xie Tingfeng gave the order without much hesitation.

Soon, the underwater MV of "Not Drunk" began playing.

Xie Tingfeng's eyes suddenly became more serious.

Underwater shooting.

Why didn’t I think of that!
"Lu Jiang is quite creative." Huo Wenxi couldn't help but sigh.

Sitting nearby, Chen Junting, the production director of the album "Thank You for Your Love 1999," also said directly: "This idea alone can be used as a marketing point."

indeed.

If Xie Tingfeng’s MV was like this, it would definitely be hyped to the sky.

So everyone thought that Lu Jiang would be the same.

The atmosphere in the screening room became a little more depressing.

Fortunately, it soon became clear as the melody of the original version of "Not Drunk" filled the screening room.

Xie Tingfeng's mouth corners curled up.

That's it?

"It has a strong northern flavor." The assistant next to him was very good at observing people's expressions and complained immediately.

Indeed, the original version of "Bu Zui" is indeed different in style from the mainstream Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music of that era, and it is quite refreshing.

The lyrics have obvious regional characteristics.

What is Erguotou? A real man would risk his life to open the bottle and drink it directly.

Lyrics with a strong Beijing flavor seem "rustic" to the arrogant Hong Kong people.

However, the analysts present disagreed: "This song has a simple melody and catchy lyrics. In mainland China, it's down-to-earth. It may not be suitable for large-scale performances, but it is very suitable for mainland bars and KTVs."

"But after all, it can't be shown on the big stage." Huo Wenxi added.

The analyst nodded. "Yeah, if the album contained only songs like this, we'd feel relieved."

Xie Tingfeng was already feeling much more relaxed at this point, and he gave the order directly: "Next song, play from the bottom up."

The assistant obeyed the order and carried it out immediately.

Soon, "Run" began playing.

"Running with the wind is the direction of freedom, chasing the power of thunder and lightning"

Xie Tingfeng's eyes became serious again.

Chen Junting gave a direct conclusion: "The lyrics are catchy, the melody is simple but very memorable. This is obviously a hit song. Why is it placed so far down?"

Everyone has this question.

A song of the title song level is only placed second to last, so what about the rest?

"next song."

Xie Tingfeng sat up straight and continued to give orders.

Next is the third to last song: "The First Dream".

The MV is accompanied by scenes of young people such as athletes and students striving for success.

The lyrics are also inspiring and uplifting, catchy and memorable, which is the basic operation.

After the song finished playing, Huang Dajun, another producer of the album "Thank You for Your Love 1999," finally spoke up and was very surprised: "This is a top-notch inspirational song!"

Chen Junting also nodded: "And the style of music is also very interesting. Lu Jiang must have listened to a lot of Japanese pop music."

"Yeah, that's true." Huang Dajun took the remote control and adjusted the song to around 20 minute and seconds. "Look at this part, it's handled very well."

The two producers started discussing this.

This is the purest appreciation of musical genius.

It is also a natural admiration for Japanese pop music in my bones.

After all, the original song of this song is "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon", composed by Miyuki Nakajima. It has not been released yet, but it ultimately represents the essence of the work of Japanese musicians.

However, this discussion did not last long.

Because Xie Tingfeng's face was already livid. "Let's discuss it later, next song!"

Huo Wenxi quickly spoke up.

The two producers also shut up immediately.

Then the next song will be played.

This time it’s “Exclusive Memory”.

It's the title song level again.

There was already a dark cloud hanging over the screening room.

"next song!"

"got windy".

A cool breeze suddenly blew into the projection room.

But he was quickly suppressed by Xie Tingfeng's eyes.

"Next song!!"

"Ten Years" is here.

You could hear a pin drop in the projection room.

"Next one."

"Lanting Preface" was published.

The armrest of the sofa was almost crushed by the two producers.

They can't wait to start researching it right now.

The blue veins on Xie Tingfeng's forehead were already very obvious.

Each one is more powerful than the last.

The quality of this album is too exaggerated, right?

At this moment, his mind was full of Lu Jiang.

The two have never met.

But as the seven songs were played, my impression of Lu Jiang became clearer.

He just looked at himself.

His eyes showed neither sadness nor joy.

The sense of oppression is real.

It makes people breathless, unable to raise their heads, and impossible to hide from him.

What kind of monster am I trying to scam?

"Continue?"

Huo Wenxi asked in a low voice.

"How many more?"

"Just one song, the title song."

"Only one left?"

“Yes, this album only has 8 songs.”

Xie Tingfeng didn't feel relieved at all when he heard that. He just said weakly, "Keep going."

Then, the title song "Dongfeng Po" sounded.

Wait until it's over.

Everyone had a gloomy face and said nothing.

What else is there to say?
Special effects?

They are not bad at all.

Plot?

The plot is simple, but the people are beautiful. Fan Binbin in cheongsam is really stunning.

What’s even more exaggerated is that even such a beauty can’t outperform the song!

And the issues with individual songs are no longer the focus.

The point is.

The quality of all the songs in this album, except for "Don't Return If You Don't Get Drunk", is almost at the level of a hit song. It can be said that it is much better than Xie Tingfeng's current second album.

"Dong Feng Po" and "Lanting Xu" are unprecedented pioneering music styles, which will elevate Lu Jiang's status in the music world to an artistic level.

How the hell do I fight this?
So now what the two producers want to do most is to leave with the album as soon as possible and then study it carefully.

Huo Wenxi is already considering whether to postpone or cancel Xie Tingfeng's third album to avoid the spotlight.

After all, this album has won the Venice Golden Lion Award and is of such high quality, it is bound to be a big hit.

But in this situation, it is really hard to say this, it is too embarrassing.

Xie Tingfeng is not stupid either.

He also realized this.

But there was no way he would be the first to say such words.

The entire screening room fell into a long silence.

The first to break the silence was producer Huang Dajun: "I'll take the CD first and study it tonight."

Chen Junting on the side said: "Give me a copy too, I'll study it too."

"Ali, go get another one."

Huo Wenxi quickly took over.

"No, no, we'll go by ourselves. Xiaoli will lead the way."

The two producers quickly ran away.

Soon, Xie Tingfeng and Huo Wenxi were the only ones left in the screening room.

Now that there were no outsiders around, Huo Wenxi quietly suggested, "Why not postpone the next album?"

Xie Tingfeng closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he opened his eyes, and they flashed again: "I still want to give it a try!"

Their new song hasn't even been released yet, how could they admit defeat now?

However, Huo Wenxi sighed and said, "Actually, this album was sent by Warner."

Xie Tingfeng frowned immediately: "Warner?"

"Yes, it was delivered this afternoon. The people from Warner asked me to bring you a message."

"What words."

"He said that originally the album was supposed to include 14 songs, but they felt that was a bit too much, so they randomly cut out 6 of them."

When Xie Tingfeng heard this, his face suddenly turned so dark that water seemed to drip out of it.

This is pure insult!
The next second, he smashed the mineral water bottle against the wall. "Fuck you! I'm a hard-working guy, Huo Wenxi, I want you to release your third album early! Give me all your resources, I want to fight him. I don't believe he can dominate the charts with just 8 songs!"

Huo Wenxi quickly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive! He has six songs of similar quality ready to release!"

"You believe this too?!"

"They really do. I heard about it this afternoon!"

Huo Wenxi's face was serious.

Warner's move is indeed quite hurtful.

But to be honest, it’s not their fault.

After all, you have been dealing with Lu Jiang for three months. You can't let him be completely indifferent, right?
And it’s already very good now. If you were an ordinary person, would the other person greet you like this?

"Back off, otherwise if it gets out, it will be very difficult for us to deal with it."

When Xie Tingfeng saw Huo Wenxi's serious expression, his mind suddenly became clear for a moment.

The second album is already of the highest quality, and the third one cannot compare to the second one.

If Lu Jiang really comes up with 6 more songs of similar quality
Xie Tingfeng suddenly felt a taste of iron stuck in his throat.

No.

I do not believe.

Xie Tingfeng took a few steps back.

The stubbornness in his eyes was about to burst out.

"I'm going to give it a try! I'm the successor to the Four Heavenly Kings. I don't believe I won't have a chance to fight back against him!

Seeing this, Huo Wenxi knew that no matter what he said, he would not be able to stop him, so he could only sigh and take a step back: "Let's wait and see for another week."

The next day, "Lu Jiang·Chinese Style" was officially released.

8 new songs, 7 hits, escorted by the Golden Lion, started a crazy hot sale
