Chapter 15 Mahjong, Genius.
That night, Peng Xiangming had a treat, and several people who were particularly familiar with him got together for a small gathering, which was regarded as a celebration.
Peng Xiangming, Zhao Jianyuan, Guo Daliang, Chen Xuan, Qi Yuan, plus Qi Yuan's best friend Shu Yuxin, and Peng Xiangming's agent Kong Quan, a total of seven people.
also said hello to Liu Mi on WeChat, but she didn't say that she was coming, so she didn't reply at all.
It should be a little angry.
Originally, he wanted to inform Lao Liu and invite him to come and sit down, but Zhao Jianyuan reminded him that Lao Liu was not the kind of person who "enjoyed with the people", so he gave up.
After eating and drinking, Kong Quan persuaded Qi Yuan to sign the brokerage contract with him, and even asked Shu Yuxin and Chen Xuan if they signed it. Both of them are also acting majors.
I drank a little too much at night, and I got up slowly until almost noon, so it wasn't until the afternoon that Peng Xiangming officially finished the broker contract with the fat brother Kong Quan.
As previously agreed between the two, five years, 15%.
Kong Quan will have full authority to act as the agent for Peng Xiangming's music licensing, publishing, signing and other aspects of brokerage affairs, and even the contract also stipulates the brokerage agency rights in commercial performances and endorsements.
However, this contract does not cover actors, screenwriters, directors, etc.
Frankly speaking, at that time, everyone only verbally agreed on the contract, and Peng Xiangming thought that it would definitely contain these, but when Kong Quan really took out the contract, he found out that it was not.
Since he didn't take the initiative to join in, Peng Xiangming thought about it and didn't even ask.
As soon as the contract is signed, the two parties will cooperate directly until April 2021.
If you want to terminate the contract, you can, and the liquidated damages are 3 million.
Peng Xiangming has never seen other people's brokerage contracts, and he has not even asked Liu Mi, so he doesn't know if this is high or low, but he thinks it is not high. Breach of contract must be punitive.
This made him quite happy with the contract.
After signing the contract, Peng Xiangming also took a taxi to a large shopping mall, searched for a long time, and found a tea shop that looked good, and wanted to buy a set of expensive tea sets, but after thinking about it, he only bought two boxes of very expensive tea - that night, he ran to the home of the head teacher Lao Liu and gave it to him.
He didn't care whether Lao Liu believed it or not, he said that it was sent by the film and television company, and he didn't drink tea, so he let it go for nothing, and I heard that Master You love tea, so you helped eliminate it.
Liu Guanting obviously hesitated, but finally accepted the tea.
In the past, he didn't take anything.
Maybe once this incident passes, in his heart, Peng Xiangming has already walked out of the school.
After lunch, Peng Xiangming took a bag of pears and rushed to his studio - also located in a community in the third ring road, Professor Huo took the initiative to introduce that he originally added four houses on the first floor and two floors, and bought them together, and after opening up, the second floor was where he and his family lived, and the first floor completely became his music world.
Frankly speaking, Peng Xiangming is very envious.
How much does it cost to buy these four houses alone - don't look at the house seems to be a little old, but the environment in the community is still very well maintained, and it must have been a very high-end real estate back then.
Considering that Professor Huo Ming's studio will become the working place for the two to cooperate in the soundtrack of "Three Kingdoms", the two sat down and said a few words, Huo Ming got up first, took him around the house first, and briefly introduced the functions of each room.
As soon as the two houses on the first floor are opened, there are 200 large and dozens of square meters, all of which have been properly soundproofed and decorated, there is a rehearsal room of 50 square meters, a small recording studio, a creation room, and a collection room full of dozens of musical instruments.
In addition, there is a large living room, and there is also a mahjong room.
Huo Ming also asked seriously, "Xiao Peng, can you play mahjong?"
Hearing Peng Xiangming say that he was "not very good at playing", he hurriedly promoted it, "Mahjong is very interesting! I will call you another day, you will definitely learn it!"
Peng Xiangming didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed.
This was promised too quickly, and as a result, the two finished visiting the studio, and just sat down and chatted for a while, Huo Ming sat down in front of the piano and was showing Peng Xiangming several versions of the tune he had written for "Linjiang Immortal", and said that when he heard Peng Xiangming's version, he was immediately shocked and ashamed, and another guest came.
There are two of them, but these two Peng Xiangming still "know"!
Du Kaijie, a singer, I don't know when he became popular, anyway, in Peng Xiangming's memory, I listened to his songs when I was a child, and I remember that when he was in primary and junior high school, he should have been quite popular for a while, and now I said it, about ten years ago.
However, in the past two years, I have rarely heard of his new movements.
I have the impression that his wife should be a very famous actor.
As for the other one, it should be called Xiang Shan, an old face that can be seen in many film and television dramas, mostly playing the role of a minister, a serious and old patriarch of the town, an old-fashioned and conspiracy but not tough enough, the chairman and the like, strictly speaking, there are no representative works and representative roles that are really popular, but you just feel very familiar with his face, even if you don't know the name, you know him.
can probably be regarded as an old drama bone.
Du Kaijie looks like he can be around forty, but Peng Xiangming thinks that his real age should be a little older.
Xiang Shan looks less than fifty, but his actual age should be a little younger.
The two of them were obviously very familiar with this place, and as soon as the door opened, they began to complain, saying that Lao Qin couldn't come today, what should I do!
Huo Ming smiled and said that it was okay, there was someone for him today.
Then he introduced Peng Xiangming, who was a little confused, to them, saying that he was his partner, and then he was going to partner with him to make music for "Three Kingdoms", and specially introduced Peng Xiangming that Xiangshan had already been decided, and he would play Tao Qian in "Three Kingdoms" next.
As soon as they heard that the young guy in front of him actually wrote three songs for "Three Kingdoms" alone, and they were the theme song, the ending song and the Taoyuan Three Knots interlude, both of them were a little surprised, but no one dared to underestimate it, especially Du Kaijie, who also expressed a very affectionate look.
Seeing that the two of them were dressed in a very casual manner, in the middle of the chat, Peng Xiangming asked more, sure enough, they both lived in this community, and they were fixed "friends" with Huo Ming.
Huo Ming enthusiastically brewed a pot of tea, but before he was halfway through the tea, Xiang Shan shouted, "Start to start! Drink the tea slowly, start first! This time I want to get back to the basics!"
So everyone went to the mahjong room and started playing mahjong.
Peng Xiangming was a little entangled and struggling at first, and said that he didn't know much, but he was still pulled over.
Xiang Shan is obviously an old smoking gun, almost one after another, but there seems to be some special ventilation equipment installed in this room, and there is no smoke.
So, the four of them played mahjong and chatted at the same time.
Xiang Shan graduated from the Performance Department of Huaxia Drama Academy, and his work is hanging in the Yanjing Drama Theater, and now there is a performance every Sunday night, the play is called "Lime Yin", the Yanjing Drama Theater rehearses, a big play, in which he plays a supporting role, playing Yu Qian's father. At present, it is a national tour, and it has been done for almost 50 shows, and I have to get up early tomorrow to fly to the place where the tour is, move in the afternoon, and fly back directly after the evening performance.
In his words, this is a hobby, but in fact, he doesn't make much money, and he still makes money from outside plays.
Du Kaijie said that he was still preparing a new album, and the other two laughed at him, saying that you are preparing a fart, you have been preparing for three years, and I haven't seen you collect songs or practice songs every day.
Du Kaijie laughed hesitantly, saying that it is not good, he has to release two more albums before he can retire, and now his commercial performances can no longer afford the price, the real estate developers have a lot of lists, and they are willing to give money, but many of them are from small counties, and he has to shout at others to sell the building, he feels a little ashamed, he is afraid that if this kind of work is taken too much, the popularity will really disperse, so he still has to do it for a few more years.
As he spoke, he played out a piece of east wind, and invited Peng Xiangming to sing, but seeing what he meant, he didn't care much, so Peng Xiangming humbly agreed and didn't dare to settle down.
There are countless gossips in the middle circle, such as the music circle, the film and television circle, the drama circle, and so on, and even the music circle is divided into traditional and pop songs.
Peng Xiangming understood some of them, and some of them didn't.
Because he is obviously not that familiar, many names are unfamiliar, and he is embarrassed to ask.
hit the sunset in one breath, and the two of them received calls one after another, asking them to go home for dinner, so they left.
Huo Ming kept Peng Xiangming to eat together at home, but the other two left, and he was not very embarrassed, so he postponed that he would come back tomorrow, and then took a taxi by himself and went back to school.
The taxi settled the score: lost more than 900.
It's a mess.
When he came, he was in high spirits, ready to start his first career! Unexpectedly, he played mahjong with others for an afternoon and listened to a lot of gossip!
............
The next afternoon, he rushed over again, but it didn't take long to talk, and someone came to the door again.
Xiang Shan didn't come this time, but Du Kaijie came, and there were two "new faces".
One is called Qin Feng, who looks like he is about sixty years old, and he is an old actor, but he feels a little arrogant, he showed a smile when he was first introduced, and then he doesn't like to deal with people very much, and it is said that he has also decided to play Wang Yun in "Three Kingdoms".
There is also a woman, who looks young and in her early thirties, called Qu Ping, a soprano singer, a little chubby, white and tender, she should be singing bel canto, but she was very interested in the young man Peng Xiangming who suddenly appeared, and chatted a few words, which was quite affectionate.
Listening to the conversation between them, it is possible that she is Huo Ming's student and lives in a nearby community.
So the afternoon ...... They play mahjong.
Peng Xiangming watched from the side for a while, feeling very bored, and then simply said hello to Huo Ming, went to his collection room, and played a musical instrument by himself.
Not to mention that there are dozens of musical instruments, which are really dazzling.
If this was left in his previous life, Peng Xiangming would be curious even if he was sure, but it is estimated that he would not be able to play at all, but in this life, he has more than ten years of piano foundation, and the basic music theory is still very solid.
As the old saying goes, you are not afraid if you are not familiar with the instrument, but you will be familiar with it when you touch it.
Because the basic principles are all the same.
He had previously planned that once the contract was signed, he would begin to familiarize himself with the various instruments so that he could disassemble the original arrangements of those songs, and this collection room could be said to be just right for him.
So he quickly had a lot of fun.
It was the evening again, and he said goodbye again.
It's just that before leaving this time, Huo Ming deliberately stopped him, handed him a key, and said: "I have classes in the academy tomorrow morning and afternoon, you can come by yourself, you can play by yourself if you want, I will come back at about four o'clock." ”
So the next afternoon, Peng Xiangming rushed over at four o'clock, just ten minutes later than him.
No one bothered him today, and Peng Xiangming was a little excited.
But Huo Ming also admitted frankly that he still has a job to finish at the moment, which is a drama of the Ming Dynasty, so he will officially start the work of "Three Kingdoms" after that work is completed, but during this period, if he is inspired, he will write a tune.
At present, he has matured the song in his hand, and only wrote one paragraph, tentatively named "Killing Song", which will be used in the soundtrack of the TV series and will appear in the battle between the two sides.
So he suggested that Peng Xiangming's side could move first, first, to make the arrangement of his three songs, everyone to discuss, and when it was completely decided, he could consider inviting the band teacher to complete the recording of the accompaniment.
At the same time, because the three songs are already very mature, and even the singing style has been faintly set in the sample, since everyone likes it very much, there is no need to change anything, you can consider finding someone to audition.
For the way of music recording, Peng Xiangming was originally a layman, this was also to create opportunities for himself, so he relied on the memory in his mind.
The two of them quickly decided that Peng Xiangming would come up with the arrangement of the three songs as soon as possible, and Huo Ming was familiar with each other, so he made a list and began to invite people to audition one after another - Peng Xiangming decided the final choice.
It doesn't matter who you find, even if it doesn't work out in the end, you will definitely have to pay for the carriage and horses, but this money is paid by the producer, and it is part of the production cost, as long as Huo Ming signs, it can be reimbursed.
And the audition place can be put directly into the small recording studio of his studio - he can even earn another fee for the use of the venue.
When the candidate is decided, the producer is also responsible for negotiating the contract, and they don't need to worry about it. As for accompaniment recording, singer recording, etc., Huo Ming also has a recording studio that has been working with him for many years.
It's fair to say that everything is familiar – it's a process he's been using for years.
Even the matter itself is not in a hurry.
"Three Kingdoms" is still in preparation, the schedule starts in June, and the filming will definitely be completed before the end of July, and by mid-September at the latest, the post-editing and picture processing will be basically completed.
At that time, post-production things will be added to the original soundtrack, such as soundtracks, such as character re-dubbing, etc., and this work will be basically completed by the end of October.
And by mid-November, it will officially start broadcasting.
So, in fact, their work can only start in earnest from the end of August and the beginning of September, and it is completely in time.
Of course, the tunes still need to be prepared in advance.
In Huo Ming's words, "There's nothing to rush to work, it's just that you're idle anyway, just take a few steps first!"
It was so simple to finalize the matter, Huo Ming went to busy him, and Peng Xiangming ran to his collection room again, playing various musical instruments, looking for the timbre needed for the soundtrack.
On the afternoon of this Thursday, Dazhong Film and Television Media called 900,000 yuan.
Peng Xiangming let out a sigh of relief.
Then start splitting the money and paying off the debt.
15% commission for fat brother Kong Quan, 135,000 yuan.
In the past half a month, I have been tossing blindly, and I have asked Zhao Jianyuan to borrow 25,000, and now that I have money, I will pay it all back.
On Saturday of this week, the mahjong bureau was temporarily short of people, and Peng Xiangming played mahjong.
Sunday, mahjong.
On Wednesday morning, Peng Xiangming rushed over early and learned to play the keyboard in Huo Ming's studio for a while before Huo Ming came down slowly, and then Peng Xiangming showed him the arrangement he had just made.
He was a little confused, "You're too fast!"
Sitting on the sofa and looking carefully, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and his right hand, which did not hold the manuscript, was making a gesture on the side, and from time to time he used his mouth to make a sound, which was extremely excited.
After reading the three arrangements, he immediately clapped, "Beautiful! It's so beautiful! You're such a genius!"
When he said this, his eyebrows fluttered, and his face was full of amazement.
Peng Xiangming was a little weak-hearted.
