Chapter 142: The Myth of Ratings for Three Years (Part II)
When Liu Jingting returned to Yuehe No. 1 Middle School again, his identity and status had changed dramatically.
Quasi-Vientiane School Park students.
A local tyrant worth more than 500,000 yuan.
A talented man who wrote a series of classic novels.
In a word, Liu Jingting has become a legend who has not graduated from Yuehe No. 1 Middle School, and only the provincial champion of liberal arts in the previous session has reached this achievement.
This incident became a topic of conversation among the students of Yuehe No. 1 Middle School, and in less than three years, a more worthy topic appeared.
For high school students, the happiest thing is that they have been admitted to a prestigious school in advance, and they can hang out among their anxious classmates all day long.
Leisurely feeling the heaviness and busyness of everyone is even more leisurely.
In addition to Sun Xinyang, when Yu Xiaoshu and Zhao Kan saw Liu Jingting again, they were at a loss for what to do, feeling like a paper tiger, while Liu Jingting was pretending to be a pig and eating himself unintentionally.
"Brother Ting, you are not kind," Yu Xiaoshu looked at Liu Jingting with an expression of admiration, "Everyone is devoted to you, and you can't hide it to such an extent, which really makes us ashamed of ourselves." ”
Zhao Kan sat sullenly on the side, staring at Liu Jingting without speaking.
Liu Jingting said helplessly: "How to say this kind of thing, it's not singing, it's not painting, if you paint, I can say, come to Xiaoshu." I'll draw you a sketch, but there's no way to write this thing, I can't see you and say, come on, Xiaoshu, brother will write you an article. ”
Yu Xiaoshu thought about it, felt that this was indeed the truth, nodded and said no more.
"Besides, in our dormitory, Lao Sun is a scholar. Kankan is a storyteller and a hardcore expert in the forum, and Xiaoshu is a basketball master and a sports maniac, think about it, if I don't have any skills, how can I be embarrassed to live in a bedroom with you. ”
Zhao Kan silently answered: "I really thought about it before. Although I would never say it, I really felt in my heart that it was in this dormitory. Just Jingting, you don't have any characteristics. As a result, when you play such a hand, I feel like my face is about to be swollen by myself. ”
"It's a problem with your vision. Sun Xinyang answered thoughtlessly.
"Yes, I admit that the so-called knowing people and knowing faces does not know their hearts. ”
Liu Jingting smiled bitterly.
"I think you are jealous, you also participated in the competition, you didn't pass the audition. Tingge won the championship. Yu Xiaoshu said sharply in line with the style of people who do not dismantle and do not dismantle in vain.
Zhao Kan's expression was uncertain, very exciting, and he squeezed out a sentence after a long time: "That's right, me." I am jealous. ”
"Okay," Liu Jingting said with a smile, "I'll invite everyone to dinner to make up for the gap in everyone's hearts." ”
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Therefore, for a foodie, the happiest thing is to make a friend with a local tyrant." ”
……
Just when Zhao Kan sourly accused Liu Jingting of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, another "pig with makeup" also exposed his identity.
Gong Chengen, who incarnated as the leader of the GTV drama team, after the "smashing the car door" incident was exposed, the truth was revealed, and the members of the drama team and the staff of the crew of "Returning the Pearl" almost fell to the ground when they saw the news, especially those who had flaunted their might in front of "Cheng Eun", asked him to pour coffee and buy snacks, and were even more terrified of insomnia.
However, Gong Chengen's attitude does not seem to be affected by any gossip news, he still works as usual and is busy as usual, but his efficiency is much higher than before, and some departments that have deliberately made things difficult for him have become extraordinarily attentive and cooperative at this time, and some actors have begun to take the initiative to get close to this behind-the-scenes boss who wears many hats, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Do you still blame me for using the news that you smashed the car to promote the TV series?"
Gong Chengpin, who was dressed in casual clothes, unexpectedly appeared in the crew of "Returning the Pearl" and sat in the studio with Gong Chengen to chat.
"There are good and bad, but there is no point in worrying about what happens. ”
Gong Chengen said indifferently, Gong Chengpin looked at his younger brother who was obviously thin but much more mature, and felt quite comforted in his heart, at least he mentioned the "honing method" to his grandfather and played a certain role.
"If it had been, you would have rushed to my office and smashed my computer again. Gong Chengpin rarely revealed a hint of human affection, and said sarcastically.
Gong Chengen smiled slightly and said, "Maybe it's because of Gu Shuai." ”
"Huh?" a look of vigilance flashed on Gong Chengpin's face.
"Do you think it's my own idea to do these things every day?" Gong Chengen shook his head with a slight smile, "Ninety percent is not, I am carrying out Gu Shuai's will." ”
"How?"
"I didn't say much, but he would put forward his own construction of scenery, costumes, and props, and it turned out that his construction was the most suitable, but he paid the most attention to the actor's performance, basically I would send him a paragraph to show him when I filmed a paragraph, and then he gave his opinion, and we changed it again. ”
"How many years will it take to shoot like this?" said Gong Chengpin.
Gong Chengen shook his head and said: "No, we don't shoot superfluous shots, they are all finished films, Gu Shuai annotated it very clearly in the script, and our later stage will be completed soon." ”
Gong Chengpin said disapprerovingly: "After all, it's just hasty, I came here today to tell you something in person, and if it was someone else, I'm afraid you will go crazy again." ”
"What's the matter?"
"You may also know in your heart the weight of your play, I won't make more comments, Gu Yongsheng is a genius writer, but it doesn't mean that he is an all-rounder, I talked to my grandfather, and our opinions are also very unified, according to the characteristics of your play, I hope to cooperate with Tage Network to make it an online drama. ”
"What?"
Gong Chengen's face changed abruptly, and he said aggressively: "You mean that the TV station doesn't arrange schedules?"
"I can't get the time to go, do you know how many shows I still have in line?"
Gong Chengen said: "I don't care how many programs you have, if you don't give a schedule, I'll find other TV stations to cooperate, forget it, I won't tell you." I called my grandfather. ”
"Don't bother grandpa, the bottom line of the TV station is the midnight file. Gong Chengpin said without any emotion.
Gong Chengen looked at the eldest brother, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Big brother, you are really crazy, you are still playing negotiation skills with your brother, you are here today to inform me to put "Returning the Pearl" to the midnight file, right?"
Gong Chengpin didn't make a sound, bowed his head and tidied up his sleeves.
"Okay, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and we don't have a publicity budget anyway. Just break the jar and break it to the end, if the general manager has nothing else to do, I will accompany him less. ”
"I just said you've matured. ”
"If it weren't mature, I would have done it a long time ago, what do you want me to say to Gu Shuai?"
"You trust him too much. ”
"At least he talked to me. Never beating around the bush, I know you have a preconception about him. It's even jealous, right? But you can use your computer-like brain to think about it, why did he, an outsider, put on this TV show for me so devotedly, and from beginning to end, what did he do that was harmful to me?"
"What are you talking nonsense, I never put personal feelings into my work, and you have to figure that out. When I say you trust him, I mean that his expectations for this show are so high that you are also hallucinated, and I am afraid that you will fall too badly by then. ”
Gong Chengen stretched out his hands and pressed them flat with his palms facing down a few times. said: "I don't argue about this, this kind of thing has to be told with facts after all, it's really midnight, there is no room for negotiation?"
"I could talk to my grandfather and mention 10 points, but it depends on the quality of your film and some hope for me and other TV executives. ”
"Deal. ”
"Bring me a box of lunch. Gong Chengpin glanced at his younger brother and said suddenly.
Gong Chengen said: "You are not a staff member or extra, and the crew doesn't have your lunch." ”
"I'm the executive general manager of GTV, I'm your big brother, bring me food!"
Gong Chengen bargained: "Then give me the golden file." ”
"Besides, I'll put it in the early morning. ”
"Okay, you cow. "Gong Chengen honestly went to get a boxed lunch for his eldest brother.
……
Gong Chengpin stayed in the crew for less than half an hour, in addition to chatting with Gong Chengen, he briefly communicated with Li Tan for a while, watched a short section of the previous film, was noncommittal, and then left in the car.
As soon as Gong Chengpin got into the car with his front foot, Gong Chengen dialed Liu Jingting's phone with his back hand.
"Hey Gu Shuai, tell you something......"
Gong Chengen didn't wait for Liu Jingting to reply, so he finished saying what Gong Chengpin meant just now.
"I didn't have the luxury of primetime. ”
When Liu Jingting heard the news, he didn't have any fierce reaction, but an expected tone.
"Well, we have no chance of winning, as I told you before, we don't have a budget for publicity. ”
"Who said that publicity must have a budget, Gong Shuai, let me ask you, do you know the kind of band that is a little noisy, a little rock, and a little famous, and the best two-person band?"
Gong Chengen was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and said: "I know each other, but I don't know each other, you also know that I spent most of my adolescence pursuing Wang Qianqian, but my cousin Gong Chengde has some friendship with the Bailian Band, why are you looking for a band?"
"Looking for a band, of course, is selling songs. ”
"Gu Shuai, don't tease me, I know you are talented, but your main job now is in TV dramas. ”
"yes, it's a song written for TV dramas, haven't you heard that there is a theme song in this world?"
"Oh, I see, you mean to release the theme song in advance?"
"That's not it, these days, I will take the time to go over, and then I will cut a clip with Director Li, and discuss with Bailian and them to make a MV, if they cooperate, I will give them a discount. ”
"Sounds like it works. ”
"yes, of course. ”
"Okay, I'll contact my cousin immediately, by the way, do you have the lyrics?"
"I have all the scores. ”
"I'm not afraid of Qianqian's jealousy, I really want to give a kiss. ”
", the point is that Qianqian is jealous? It's disgusting, okay?"
"Haha...... Went to work. ”
……
In fact, as early as the filming of "Yue Nu Sword", Liu Jingting once thought about a question, after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Tianlong Babu" and other works came out, they were made into TV series, will those related songs that are also popular be created naturally?
For example, after people in this world saw "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". You must know that this song has become a symbol of "Shooting the Condor", a common memory of several generations, and also a divine comedy that has driven the ratings with songs, and Liu Jingting emotionally cannot accept the fact that there is a "Shooting the Condor" TV series in this world without the song "Iron-blooded Danxin" song.
Therefore, the result of Liu Jingting's pondering is that when the time comes, he will sing it himself, find a professional musician to improve it, and find a suitable singer to interpret it.
Although Liu Jingting didn't know anything about staves, his musical knowledge and talent for singing were also very average. But he still remembers these classic theme songs more deeply, and he has never shouted in the KTV of that world.
Unexpectedly, the original idea of singing for martial arts dramas has not had a chance to be realized, but it is a coincidence that he encountered this incident in advance. Warmed up in advance.
After Gong Chengen hung up Liu Jingting's phone, he immediately dialed Gong Chengen's phone. Explain what you mean in a few words. When Gong Chengde heard it, if there was anything that did not agree, he said that he would be able to reply that night.
After Liu Jingting hung up the phone, he found an inaccessible place, recorded the most famous theme song "Dang" of "Huanzhu Gege" into his mobile phone, and then sent it to Gong Chengen.
[Ah...... Yes...... Yes......
When the peaks are not angular
When the river no longer flows
When time stops, day and night do not count
All things in heaven and earth have become nothing
I still can't break up with you
Can't break up with you
Your gentleness is the greatest waiting ...... in my life]
……
Despite how people in the world ridiculed Qiong Yao's TV series. But other people's dramas have an audience, so that there are many plagiarists and imitators, in addition, Aunt Qiong Yao is definitely a master of writing lyrics. Many of the songs have been sung for years, and even those who have been scathing critics have rarely criticized them.
This song "Dang" is like this, after fifteen years and is still a classic, especially for the 8090 generation in that world, it is almost one of the KTV chorus repertoire, among which "let us be accompanied by red dust, live a chic life, ride a horse and gallop to share the prosperity of the world, sing about wine as a song, sing the joy in your heart, vigorously, and grasp the youth" has become a golden sentence in the lyrics about youth.
After Gong Chengen received Liu Jingting's recording, he quickly listened to it, although it felt catchy and refreshing, but it did not reach the point of being amazing, which shows the importance of the singer to a song.
"Gu Shuai, with all due respect, you are only suitable for tinkering with words after all, I will find someone to re-record it and talk to Bai Lian, otherwise it will definitely fail. ”
"If the meaning is there, if the other side agrees, I will go over immediately and wait for your good news. ”
……
Bai Lian quickly gave Gong Chengde a positive answer, after all, in the future, he will have to go to Gong Chengde's program to promote albums or concerts, and it is definitely more beneficial than disadvantageous for them to have a good relationship with the core figures of Gong's Media.
In addition, it is a coincidence that the new album that the Bailian Band is producing is still missing a few songs, which can be regarded as a smooth sailing.
Gong Chengde relayed the news to Gong Chengen, and Gong Chengen personally invited the Bailian agent and the maker to come out for dinner, and then played the re-recorded "Dang" on the spot.
After the song was played, the agent who seemed to be shrewd and capable didn't react in particular, but the man with a beard showed excitement, completely ignored the agent's eyes, and said directly: "This song can be used as the main song." ”
Gong Chengen said quietly: "The creator of this song will arrive tomorrow, I hope to meet Bailian tomorrow and talk in person." ”
"No problem. The maker didn't wait for the agent to talk, and responded directly.
……
After Bailian's agent and the maker returned to the studio, they immediately started an argument, one blaming the other party for not knowing how to negotiate and leaving someone to handle it, and the other claiming that he couldn't help it, thinking that the song was even more valuable than his own cousin.
In the end, the two singers personally mediated, and the quarrel finally stopped, and then the "bearded" maker sat down next to the piano and sang the chorus of "Dang" from memory.
The agent next to him said indignantly: "It's the song that Xingyue gave today." ”
"Then, get in touch quickly, and we'll go see them right now. ”
"They said that the creator hasn't arrived yet, you know, people are playing psychological warfare with us, so we can't be so calm. Be patient. ”
"I don't think it's possible, since Gong Chengde took the initiative to contact us about this matter, it means that they want to leave a personal relationship, and the Gong family doesn't have the heart to bargain with us, Sister An, let's get in touch and meet." ”
……
After Liu Jingting got off the plane, he went directly to Bailian's music studio, although he didn't know much about music, but he knew what it felt like to interpret this song, but when he listened to Bailian sing it again. I realized that I was really doing this too much, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It seems that all literary and artistic works have something in common." ”
Whether it is the configuration of the instruments or the singing style of Bailian, it is basically consistent with the feeling in Liu Jingting's impression, and a song is listened to. Liu Jingting actually had a feeling of trance, as if he had returned to that time in the other world.
The ensuing negotiations were almost all in one go. Liu Jingting followed Mr. Jin Yong's practice of selling the copyright of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". symbolically received a dollar remuneration, and Bailian sang the theme song for "Huanzhu Gege" at the same price, and participated in the MV production.
The whole negotiation process took less than three minutes, not to mention Agent An, even Gong Chengde was stunned, according to Gu Yongsheng's worth at this time. This song costs 10,000 yuan, which is a friendship price.
Gong Chengen had another idea, he knew that Liu Jingting did this completely for the TV series, so he didn't care about these details, but this investment should not have been borne by him. In short, no matter whether the TV series can be profitable or not, he will give him a compensation.
After finalizing the cooperation of the song, Liu Jingting stayed in the crew for three days, negotiated with Li Tan many times, and finally cut out a clip of more than three minutes.
……
In mid-September, Yuehe No. 1 Middle School held a biennial campus sports meeting as usual, and Yu Xiaoshu won gold medals in the high jump, long jump and 5,000 meters one after another, becoming the focus of the games.
Correspondent Liu Jingting wrote with emotion: "Time is like a big turntable, whoever turns to his territory will shine for everyone to see, everyone is a genius, because you were born in this world, which in itself is an eternal miracle!"
At the end of September, Sun Xinyang won the silver medal in the National Physics Competition, and received an extra five points for the college entrance examination.
On the National Day, Liu Jingting came to the crew of "Returning the Pearl" again and said that he would complete the finishing work of the last month with everyone.
The next day, Xingyue released a two-minute trailer for "The Plan in the Palace 2", and Haiyang invited the heroes and heroines of "Dashang Palace" to record variety shows and talk shows.
After the end of the National Day, a well-known gossip magazine in China released a photo of Xingyue Shao's head Gong Chengpin and the heroine of "Palace in the Palace 2" Li Geman eating in Beicheng, in the photo, although wearing sunglasses but still recognized by everyone, Li Geman, intimate and ambiguous, took Gong Chengpin's arm and walked into Beicheng together, during the meal, the two talked and laughed, very harmonious, forty minutes later, the two entered a black RV.
Three days later, Xingyue and Li Geman came forward to confirm that it was just a simple meal, expressing strong indignation and condemnation of the candid paparazzi, and saying that they reserved the right to pursue legal responsibility for the gossip magazine.
Just when the news of "Gong Da Shao's suspicious love for its female stars" was very loud, a film and television star under Ocean secretly ridiculed Xingyue in an interview for directing and acting in a scandal in order to promote the new drama.
Then the manager of the public relations department of Xingyue personally came forward to refute it sternly, and bombarded the star for making this remark in order to hype, and at the same time counted the star's various undisciplined hype records.
Then it comes to the war of words......
Just when the competition between the ocean and Xingyue was about to reach a white-hot stage, an unknown college student actor in an unknown crew posted a few photos of the Qing Dynasty on his social networking site, and attached a paragraph: "The TV series is about to end filming, so reluctant to everyone, reluctant to crape myrtle, reluctant to golden locks, reluctant to five elder brothers, Huang Ama, Concubine Ling, Akang, Atai, reluctant to director, reluctant to everyone, praying to shoot the second part (crying expression)"
The person who posted this picture was naturally "Little Swallow", a junior at Jianghai Drama Academy, and this state only attracted the attention of a small number of people among her classmates, and did not make any big waves.
Two days later, on Saturday, the famous band Bailian sang the title song of their latest album "Dang" in a variety show on a satellite TV, and repeatedly explained that this song is the theme song of a TV series called "Huanzhu Gege".
The next day, the song "Dang" became a hot topic on the Internet, and successfully became a hot topic on micro-blogs.
Of course, it was impossible to have any satisfactory results, until the famous program host Gong Chengde released the MV of the theme song of "Huanzhu Gege" on his microblog.
