Chapter 660, moonlight, women's incense!
The market is the touchstone, and real gold is not afraid of fire.
In the melting pot of the market, the box office results of "Burning Men Movie" were short-lived, and they fell sharply from the third day, and even less than 5 million box office on the fourth day.
And Feng Kai's sharp remarks made Huayi even more at a loss.
Even his own people are stabbed in the back, how can they have the heart to resist the bombardment of outsiders?
For a time, Huayi and Lychee were attacked by the enemy.
This big movie is undoubtedly the last straw that crushed the camel, "Burning Real Man" was not good as early as two years ago, and the ratings in the same period were often at the bottom, after this farce, Litchi TV finally made up its mind, and when the big movie went offline a week later, it was announced that "Burning Real Man" would come to an end, and there would be no next season, but three SP ending specials would still be recorded, and the stars who had been on "Burning Real Men" were invited to review the past.
……
"Haha, this battle was well done, not only made their movie a fiasco, but also forced Lychee TV to stop the show!"
Film Association, after Li Zhifan watched the popular headlines, he gave Feng Kai a thumbs up, "How did you think of this plan to kill two birds with one stone?"
"What a plan!"
Feng Kai was frantically eating crayfish, his mouth full of oil, "Well, there's no plan, I'm just casually talking." The movie fiasco is not something I can do with a word, the eyes of the masses are bright!"
"Okay!"
Li Zhifan smiled, "I guess you wouldn't have thought of this, it seems to be really an accident, but for our "Extreme Challenge", it can be regarded as removing a strong rival...... No, they're no match for each other anymore. ”
"Hey, after this show ends, there will be another reality show online soon, the market is there, can Litchi TV not do it?" Feng Kai analyzed, "In fact, it is normal to stop this broken show, but it is difficult to say whether the program that will be launched in the future can become a phenomenon again!"
"That's really noteworthy!"
In today's reality show market, the binding of artists and programs has been very serious, especially the fixed members, which can be described as cold, and some negative news about one member will cause the entire program to be affected, and the quality of the program is poor, even if the members are excellent artists, all aspects will be damaged.
The quality of the program, in fact, is really hard to say, when there is only you in the market, your quality is the best, once another program emerges and surpasses you, then even if you continue to do so, the quality will be rated as declining, especially in comparison, the audience and netizens will involuntarily tilt their opinions.
"Looks like we've got to prepare early!"
Li Zhifan pinched the bridge of his nose, there is still more than half a year before the next season of "Extreme Challenge" starts, but what will happen in this half year, especially when Litchi TV announced the end of "Burning Real Man" at this time, how their new show will be arranged, this is unknown.
"Zhifan, do you have any plans to make a movie this year?"
Feng Kai wiped his hands and asked as if chatting.
"Not yet!"
Li Zhifan said, "The later stage of "Langya Bang" has not been done yet, but the workload has finally been reduced, and there is no need to stay up late every day like before." ”
"Pay attention to the body, young man!"
Feng Kai said, took out a script, handed it to Li Zhifan, and said, "Since you are free, help me with a role." ”
"Supporting role?" Li Zhifan took the script with a smile, but found that it was a dubbing script, "Oh?
"That's right!" Feng Kai lit a cigar, took a puff, and said in a puff, "Doubix knows, right?"
Li Zhifan nodded: "I know, it's an animation production base under Disney's Burbank Entertainment Group." ”
"Yes, they made this film, and I'm the producer!"
Feng Kai said, "If this animation is to be released in China, it needs to be re-dubbed into Chinese, you pick a character and take the time to come to our company to record a sound." Also, do you have any unpublished songs? If you have a song, I'll find someone to write the lyrics and make a Chinese version of the theme song for this cartoon. ”
"Theme song!"
Li Zhifan looked through the script and the accompanying story outline.
Although it is produced by an American animation team, the story is purely oriental, which may have a lot to do with Fang Xiao's previous stake in Disney.
The name of this movie is "Flying Sword Immortal", the background is simply written about ancient China, the content tells the story of a group of swordsmen and several major sects, and the protagonist is an anonymous disciple of one of the sects.
"Okay, I'll go back and research!"
Li Zhifan accepted the script, "Can I watch the original film now?"
"Yes, but only in my company!"
Feng Kai said, "Although it has been released abroad, it will have to wait for a while for the domestic release, and it will be kept strictly secret, since I want to ask you to dub, I will definitely let you watch the original film, but which character do you want to match, you can read the script first, and tell me when it's decided." ”
"Haven't the other roles been decided?" asked Li Zhifan.
"Not yet, but everyone is almost looking for it!" Feng Kai explained, "They are all big names in the circle, this time Fang Xiao has made enough money to make a star gathering, and he doesn't agree to use professional voice actors, it's really ......"
"That's it!"
Li Zhifan understood as soon as he heard it, "That must be for the stock price, do you think, an ordinary Hollywood animation or a Hollywood animation that is all dubbed by big names in the Chinese entertainment industry, which can drive the stock price up more?
"Yes! There are a lot of them!"
Feng Kai's eyes rolled, "That Zhifan you ......"
"I don't want it either!" Li Zhifan said directly, "But the licensing fee for the song still has to be paid, I am a musician, and I rely on this to eat!"
"Oh, that's for sure!"
Feng Kai listened to it in his ears, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart, you kid is still short of money to eat? If you really rely on music to eat, how much of your assets are based on music, and a large proportion of them are film and television dramas!
……
At night.
Dead.
Li Zhifan closed his eyes intently and entered the >, but he did not rush to go to the VR red envelope first, but entered the star group and searched to see if there was anything missing.
The previous red envelopes have been snatched up, and the chat content in the group at this time is also very lively, the reason is that a star has given birth to a child, and this star has been posting photos and short videos of children in the group, in this case, red envelopes are indispensable.
Some people will post it alone, but some people will mean it in the group.
There are also celebrities who are rushing to pull the red line for their children and marry dolls.
Li Zhifan glanced at it a few more times and saw that there was no red envelope sent out again, so he entered the VR red envelope.
The illusory world is so real, after the darkness disappeared, the place Li Zhifan saw was in a stadium, where a platter concert was being held.
He definitely doesn't know the stars of another world, at most the names may be seen in the group and familiar, and there will be many stars in the platter performance, but because of the urgency of time, the top priority is to eagerly grab the red envelope.
Entering the venue, the scene of the crowd was shocking.
In Li Zhifan's eyes, there are only red envelopes.
On stage, in the seats, in the infield, in the hallway......
This time it's a bumper harvest, and I don't know how much I robbed, but it's a pity that it's all songs, and there are no film and television works and books.
In a blink of an eye, time ended, everything in front of Li Zhifan's eyes disappeared, and he completely fell into a deep sleep.
"Yawn!"
In the morning, Li Zhifan stretched his waist to get up, and Zhou Ke was still asleep on the side.
Leaving the warm bed lightly, he came to the study, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote a few lines on the paper.
After finishing writing, Li Zhifan picked up his mobile phone again, turned on the recording, sat down at the piano, and sang while playing the lyrics.
"OK, that's it!"
Even if the simple sample was completed, it was sent to Liu Yuan, asking him to start making the arrangement, and put forward his own requirements for the arrangement.
……
Three days later.
Li Zhifan came to Feng Kai's company.
The full name of this company is: Beijing Branch of Horgos Tiankai Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd.
In recent years, there have been more and more entertainment companies with the prefix of Horgos, but 100% of them have only registered their company names and shells in Khorgos, but the actual company addresses are in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places.
The reason for this is because Khorgas is currently the city with the lowest domestic tax, and there are various exemption and exemption policies in terms of corporate and personal income tax, and the same income, if you want to call 8 million taxes in the capital, you only need to pay less than 5 million or even less than half of the taxes in Khorgos.
Located in the western part of Xinjiang, close to Kazakhstan, the city was one of the most important stops on the Silk Road.
Based on this situation, Li Zhifan is thinking about whether to go to Khorgos to register a company, and then in the name of this company, acquire Timeline and Men's Gang Film and Television for reorganization, and then split it into four subsidiaries of film and television production, artist management, music production, and post-production, which are still set up in Beijing.
In this case, it is still feasible for the subsidiary to be in the capital and the parent company to be in Khorgos.
"Director Feng!"
"Haha, Xiao Li!"
As soon as they met, Li Zhifan and Feng Kai came to a hug.
"Let's go, go upstairs and sit down! I've just got a bag of tea for you to taste!"
"Director Feng won't drink today?" Li Zhifan quipped, "Is there still food waiting for me?"
"Don't drink during work hours!" Feng Kai smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay to eat, I have a cook here, let him cook whatever you want to eat." ”
"Yo!" Li Zhifan couldn't believe it, "There are still chefs in the company?"
"That is, I'm a good eater, find a chef to raise, eat whatever you want, and the company's employees also have to eat, saving them from going out to buy takeout. ”
"So......" Li Zhifan was stunned, "More than one cook?"
"Well, there are six aunts who do chores, there are six in total, enough to open a small restaurant!
Looking at Feng Kai laughing heartily, Li Zhifan shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, of course, hiring a chef is not a novelty in the company, some company CEOs love to drink, and they hire a bartender, and if they love coffee, they have a barista.
went upstairs and came to Feng Kai's office, the two sat and talked for a while, Li Zhifan took out the USB flash drive: "Oh, this is the song I prepared, you can listen to it and see if it's appropriate, I'll go record first." ”
"Then I'll take you there!"
Feng Kai got up and took Li Zhifan out, all the way to the post-dubbing room.
There are staff members here who have already prepared, Li Zhifan brought headphones after entering the house, took the line book, and after watching the clips of the original version a few times, he started recording.
Feng Kai looked outside the door for a while, then turned around and returned to his office.
Pick up the USB flash drive on the table, plug it into the computer, and start preparing to listen to the song.
Feng Kai is a person who is not very sensitive to music, and the good and bad can only be analyzed purely from the melody and lyrics, and no matter how deep he is, he can't analyze anything.
The music sounds, tinkling dulcimer, and then strings, leading to a flute sound.
In Feng Kai's ears, the prelude is decent, which is a common style of ancient music that is very popular at the moment, of course, his understanding can only go to this level, and there is nothing he can do to comment on the production and arrangement.
"Moonlight, women's fragrance!"
"Tears break the sword, how long the love is!"
"How much it hurts, no word to think, forget about you!"
"Lonely soul, with the wind!"
"Who thinks, infatuated man!"
"This battlefield of red dust!"
"Thousands of troops, who can be king!"
"Who dares to break through the love barrier!"
"Looking at the bright moon, my heart is sad!"
"Eternal hatred, reincarnation taste!"
"When you close your eyes, who is the craziest!"
"The impermanence of this world!"
"Those who dare to love are destined to be hurt for life!"
“……”
After listening to it for the first time, Feng Kai's interest came up, he found the lyrics from the USB flash drive, and listened to it again from the beginning.
"Moonlight, Moonlight, Moonlight ......"
Feng Kai muttered the title of the song, and couldn't help but shake his head along with the music - although it was not music that made people dance excitedly, he still couldn't suppress his emotions, just because the song was so good.
"Nice!
Feng Kai was so happy that he used the computer to make a transatlantic video call.
"Hey, George, I'll send you a song to listen to, you're definitely interested!"
"Oh, what song?"
"It's the theme song of the Chinese version of "Flying Sword Immortality"!"
"Oh, then you can confirm it, and you don't need to inform me about it!"
"I just want you to listen to it, listen to our Chinese music! I've sent it to your mailbox!"
Although Feng Kai's bullish attitude made George feel uncomfortable, he still opened the email with great professional ethics, and then clicked on the song "Moonlight".
George doesn't understand much Chinese, especially the Chinese lyrics that are put together like poems, but he knows music, and he knows a little about Chinese music, and his favorite Chinese song is "Jasmine".
After listening to this song, George clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Oh, I'm going to recommend it to the editors of Billboard, to the old friends of the National Music Association, it's great, it's a song that is perfect for our animation, it has that kind of ethereal fairy air of ancient China!"
"Uh, do you understand the lyrics?" Feng Kai asked with a smile.
"No!" said George, "I'm looking for translation software!"
