Chapter 516: Producer

Chapter 516 Producer

Jiang Xia has been changing jobs for several days, and almost everyone who goes online knows that Jiang Xia jumped out of Gongshan Studio. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.infoww?w?.?

He has jumped ship, why does Gongshan Studio still forward his songs?

Netizens are puzzled, what the hell is going on?

In the end, a wise netizen guessed the "truth": "It is estimated that Jiangxia has already signed the contract, and the copyright of this song is in Gongshan Studio, so it is still forwarded by Gongshan Studio, after all, the copyright is here." ”

This netizen's speculation has won the praise and recognition of the majority of netizens, who think that this is the "truth".

Naturally, Gongshan Studio would not come out to explain, and Jiang Xia himself would not come out to explain, so everyone ran to listen to the song.

Jiang Xia's songs came to a big renovation this year, and his third solo album was released on the third day of the Lunar New Year, which shocked the entire music scene. is not as singing as he is, with slurred words, unconventional singing, and unparalleled rhythm.

Since then, Jiang Xia's new songs have been attracting much attention, and everyone can't guess what Jiang Xia's new songs will be like. Will you continue to follow the original affectionate route, or will you take the hip-hop route?

The ending song in Lu Xiaofeng's series is last year's work, and it can't be regarded as Jiang Xia's new work, strictly speaking, this "Candlelight" is his first song after his "It's okay if you don't understand" album.

Turn on the music and listen to the prelude, many fans will be relieved, at least not that fast-paced song, it should be a love song with a look.

Sure enough, after the prelude, Jiang Xia asked everyone to confirm as soon as he opened his mouth. It's easy to be willing to hear the lyrics clearly.

"How are you now, happy today,

I sent you flowers from afar, did you receive them?

The rainy season after the breakup is intermittent and non-stop,

It's really not easy to live without you.

can't hide from the memories, it's hardest to forget you,

I can't suppress anything I can't suppress,

The surging emotions I have learned to cherish,

Give me courage again,

I want to tell you,

My love, always with you. ”

Just listening to the first lyrics, it is like a frustrated person, hiding in the corner, playing the guitar by himself, looking at the intermittent rain outside the window, singing in a low voice, telling his heart. With Jiang Xia's magnetic voice, emotions are conveyed, and the sense of substitution is extremely strong, and everyone seems to have become the person who recalls the past, misses the good, and thinks of the person buried in the bottom of their hearts.

"Three hundred and sixty-five candles shine on my heart,

A candle every day illuminates my heart,

I just want to have mortal **,

Only you are my sunshine,

Only you can make my skies clear. ”

Yes, you are my sunshine, only you can save me from this dim corner, only you can dispel the haze and let this intermittent rainy season end and make my sky clear.

"Three hundred and sixty-five candles shine on my heart,

A candle every day is the same wish,

Your love is the heaven I look forward to,

I wish you a happy day and every year,

Bless us for a long time. ”

But you are not by my side, can not meet my wishes, the candlelight in the house represents my wishes, I hope to get your love, your love is my most beautiful paradise, but if you can't get it, then I wish you happiness every day, your happiness is my greatest wish, let us be happy for a long time, you will be happy for a long time, I will bless you for a long time.

The whole song has a strong sense of substitution, and it is easy to pull people into the artistic conception of the song, and when it comes to that artistic conception, the faint thoughts and sorrows naturally brought by the song linger in the heart and will not disperse for a long time.

"Good song. ”

"It's good, it's so good. ”

"I only serve Jiangxia for love songs. ”

"The quality can only be regarded as mid-to-high, and I hope that after watching the movie, I can sublimate this song. ”

"Why do you suddenly have a sense of foreboding? ”

"The movie can't be a tragedy, right?

The song is not sad, and there is not much sadness in Jiang Xia's singing, but the overall melody and lyrics bring the whole song with sorrow, so that Jiang Xia's plain singing creates an atmosphere of telling, which is really good. ”

"Good song. ”

"Jiang Xia still sings love songs, love songs are good. ”

"I heard that in the Star Wish movie, there is still the last song of Sister Shan before the film ends, when will it come out?"

"Thinking that Jiang Xia has changed jobs, I feel sorry for Sister Shan. ”

"This song, Jiang Xia wouldn't have written it with Sister Shan in mind, right?"

"I remembered the goddess I had a crush on in junior high school, and I didn't dare to confess it at that time, and my mentality was about the same as in the song. ”

"The song of the spare tire. ”

"I'm still a few days away from waiting for the movie. ”

……

There was a lot of praise on the Internet, originally Jiangxia released fast songs, some people couldn't accept it, so they dropped a group of fans, of course, it also attracted a larger group, and now this group of fans who like Jiangxia love songs, when they heard "Candlelight", they returned some, they finally knew that Jiangxia hadn't given up the love song yet, so good, they could continue to support it.

In recent years, a group of people have also emerged in the music world, and there are so many talent shows, and new people will emerge every year. But newcomers can sing a popular song, but it is difficult to have a very popular album. Since the downturn in the album market, the entire music market has not been good, and there are fewer and fewer new songs and good songs. There are not many other songs in Jiangxia, there are many good songs, and everyone else has been suppressed by Jiangxia.

Since Jiang Xia debuted, he has been like a music overlord, with his first album selling more than one million, the second album, still breaking one million in such a sluggish market, and the third album has exceeded 600,000 now, especially in the treasure island area, which has sold particularly well.

If it weren't for Jiang Xia's lack of participation in any activities, if it weren't for the celebrity list, he would now be able to hang the title of "Heavenly King", which is still a recognized kind.

It is natural that such a character has posted a single, the number of hits has risen, and the influence is great.

"Star Wish" has invaded everyone's field of vision again because of the "theme song of the movie "Star Wish" hanging after "Candlelight".

Jiang Xia actually doesn't care about the three words "theme song" for "Candlelight", because it is okay to hang the theme song of "Candlelight", the ending song of "Candlelight", or even the interlude, it doesn't matter. However, to talk about it, the most rooted theme song of "Star Wish" must be "Star Wish", just look at the name to know that many roots are Miaohong, but there is also a problem, this song is not a string in the film, it does not reflect the role of the theme song, and it does not have the sense of continuity of "Candlelight", it is more like an interlude.

In the original movie, "Candlelight" is the theme song and ending song, and "Star Wish" is an interlude.

In the whole movie, there are two songs, which are also interludes, but Jiang Xia didn't take them out separately to record them, but only recorded a small part and used them in the movie.

One is "Give You Happiness" used in the opening credits, Ren Xianqi's song, because it appears too little, and it only appears in the opening credits of the film, and Jiang Xia did not take it out separately to record.

The other song is Su Yongkang's "I'm Not the One Who Ever Loved", which appeared in the fifty-first minute of the movie. It's too brief, Jiang Xia didn't even record the singing, and threw it directly to Shen Zhongling to sing, anyway, he is also a singer. So the original song is his singing voice.

In addition to these two songs, there is also a background music that often appears in the scene, the English background music "deep-in-the-ocean-of-darkness, your-hopes-will-shining-bright." handle-your-heart-filled-with-sorrow。 you-will-see-the-light……”

Jiang Xia has heard this background music many times, but he has been looking for it for more than ten years in his previous life and has not been able to find it, it is not a separate music at all, and "Star Wish" itself does not have an original soundtrack, so he can't find it.

However, Jiang Xia has found a similar music, the song is called "Prayer", the singer is the European New Century Music Representative Secret-Garden, the song was released in April 1999, a few months earlier than the movie "Star Wish", Jiang Xia has reason to believe that the background music in "Star Wish" is a change in this song.

When Jiang Xia was doing the music of "Star Wish", he was not going to make the music soundtrack, but he was really catching up with the assembly of various things in the studio at that time, and the resignation trend was booming, and he was not in the mood to do it, so he simply didn't do it.

Seeing that the single was released, the response was not bad, Jiang Xia was relieved, and after the lunch break, he waited for Cheng Xin to call him, and she said that she would come to the company in the afternoon.

Sure enough, at three o'clock, Xue Yan called him and went to the 40th floor for a meeting.

Jiang Xia took a few scripts, sandwiched them in a folder, and took the elevator to the fortieth floor.

When he arrived, Cheng Xin was already sitting in the conference room, Xue Yan and the two female bodyguards were also there, and when Cheng Xin was eating alone with Jiang Xia that day, Jiang Xia didn't see them, and when he was the other, it seemed that these three people were all around Cheng Xin. In addition to them, there were seven or eight other people who sat in the conference room and sat in a circle.

Seeing Jiang Xia coming in, Cheng Xin said, "Let's all know each other, Jiang Xia, the master I invited." Now I am the head of the screenwriting team, and I know them all. ”

Jiang Xia nodded as if it was a greeting, Cheng Xin pointed to an empty seat beside him, and Jiang Xia sat down.

After sitting down, Jiang Xia took a closer look at the other people, they were all relatively ordinary, and they all looked like they were in their thirties, not particularly old, nor particularly young.

"This is the head of the various departments, more on that later. I called you here today, it was Jiang Xia who prepared a movie script, I don't know whether it's good or bad, you can take a look, if there is no problem, discuss the shooting problem, and strive to release it in the Chinese New Year. Cheng Xin said.

Xue Yan took the script from Jiang Xia and distributed them one by one, Cheng Xin also had a copy in front of her, and she also flipped through it and looked at it.

The meeting room was filled with the sound of page turning, and it was quiet.

"Isn't this subject matter banned? Can it be filmed now?" The speaker was Du Rong, the director of the artist department, a man in his thirties, who looked quite thoughtful.

Jiang Xia said: "I can shoot, I asked the senior management of radio and television." ”

Du Rong nodded and continued to look down at the script. In the entire conference room, Jiang Xia had nothing to do, so he could only sit and wait.

"Yes, the subject matter is novel, the plot is relaxed, and the script is good, so you can shoot it. The person who spoke was Wei Xiadong, the director of the Propaganda Department, a young woman in her thirties, who looked ordinary.

"Director Wei is right, the script is a good script. ”

"It's nice to laugh when you should laugh and take it back when you should take it back. ”

"Yes, much better than some of the previous scripts. ”

Everyone praised the script.

Cheng Xin said: "You are optimistic about this drama, then set up a project." The tentative budget is 50 million. ”

"Fifty million, isn't it too much?" The person who spoke was Wu Ang, the director of the production department, who was in charge of the production, and the production was to coordinate the cost of a movie, and he could generally estimate the cost of a movie after reading the script.

Cheng Xin said: "Not much. In the three years since our company was established, there has been no representative film that can be used, and the reason is that there is no good script. Now that the good script is here, let's do it as a big thing. ”

"If it's 50 million, I'm afraid you'll have to take out another 30 million for propaganda, for a total of 80 million. Wei Xiadong said.

"Advertising costs are included. Cheng Xin said, "Of the 50 million, 30 million production costs and 20 million publicity." Director Sun, advertising can also pull some sponsorship, such as chocolates in it, and some others, you watch and do. ”

"Okay, Mr. Cheng. Sun Jing, the director of the advertising department, nodded and agreed.

Cheng Xin continued: "I don't know much about the rest, Jiang Xia, you are fully responsible." For this film, I am the nominal producer. ”

Hearing Cheng Xin say this, the conference room was silent for a while. Everyone in the entire conference room knows that for the entertainment industry, Cheng Xin is a layman, and he basically doesn't know much about the production process of the movie, and he doesn't know much about it. Cheng Xin is the boss, more of a business boss, who just grasps the general direction.

The role of the producer is a relatively important role in the movie, the investor of a film, and the person who wants to grasp the production cost of a film. In the process of film shooting and production, it is not the director and actors who are the most important, such as producer, coordinator, producer and other roles, which are more important than directors at some point.

Of course, if the director is the kind of big director who is famous all over the world, then say another story.

Jiang Xia is not a big director yet, he can only be an ordinary director, and he has not even proven himself at the theater box office. is a new addition to Hengying, so he is only a director, and he has no connections, he may be bullied by producers and others. Although Cheng Xin doesn't know much about the twists and turns of filmmaking, she knows that in a movie, in addition to the director, the producer is the most authoritative, so she asked for the position of producer.

She is the boss, all the movies of the entire Hengying can be said to be invested by her, and she has no problem hanging the producer's name, she didn't have a name at all before, but now she wants to be named?

"Let me say a few words," Jiang Xia said, "This movie, my plan is to land on the Lunar New Year schedule, and now it will be October, that is to say, we only have a three-month production cycle." Among them, it takes at least one month to contact actors, rent venues, props production, etc., and the actual shooting time is estimated to be one month. Mr. Cheng asked me to be fully responsible, so I will arrange the work unceremoniously. ”

Hearing Jiang Xia say this, the rest of the supervisors didn't even raise their heads, looking at the script, they didn't know what they were thinking. (To be continued.) )
