Chapter 202: Workaholism (2)
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm Brother Chen Kai."
Simply introduce yourself, you can't hear too much in your tone, you should be a very pure person. This is Wang Kefan's first impression of Chen Kaige's voice.
Without hesitation, Wang Kefan immediately replied: "I said how I was in a very good mood today, it turned out that there were nobles looking for me, and Director Chen personally called to find me, which really surprised me." ”
Brother Chen Kai smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is modest, you are an international-level singer, if I let someone call you, it will be too disrespectful to you." ”
The two of them praised each other, and after each of them was refreshed in their hearts, Wang Kefan didn't plan to waste any more time greetings.
"Director Chen, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Haha, Mr. Wang is very straightforward." Brother Chen Kai praised it again, and then went straight to the point, "That's the case, my new movie has just been completed, and it will be released abroad in half a month, I want to invite you to sing the theme song of the movie, I don't know if Mr. Wang, can you help with this?" ”
Wang Kefan is not afraid of itching now that there are more lice, and it doesn't matter if he has a little more workload. And Brother Chen Kai's face is indeed not good, so he simply nodded and agreed: "Director Chen has a request, how can I, a newcomer in the entertainment industry, be embarrassed to refuse." Director Chen, please ask someone to send a sample of the song, and I will record it for you tonight. ”
After being silent for a moment, he asked softly, "Mr. Wang, I have a small request, can you come to me to record?" ”
Wang Kefan was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Is this necessary?" ”
"I'm just worried that your device might not be able to do it well." Brother Chen Kai explained. He repeated, "Can you take the time?" In terms of remuneration, we can negotiate. ”
The last vulgar sentence made Wang Kefan bend the corners of his mouth.
Generally speaking, it is often impossible for a big-budget movie to invite a big-name singer to sing the theme song. And if big-name singers are willing to live, most of them are also friendly voices and don't charge much money. According to the appearance fee, the price of China's first-line singers' performances in China is 500,000 yuan. And 500,000 is for Sun Nan and these people. It's not a lot of money. So if there really is a movie director who asks them to sing the theme song. The singer himself will not be willing to take money. Singing opportunities are obviously more important to them than money.
On the other hand, directors don't actually like to find first-line singers to sing the theme song.
As soon as those who become famous, they don't necessarily sing well, but they really have singing skills. You also need to consider whether it is suitable to sing this song. And invite them to come. Undoubtedly, it is another drain on personal relationships. There is such a thing as human affection, and if you don't use it at the most critical moment, you can't use it. Therefore, most directors prefer to find some singers who are really skilled but not very popular to sing the theme song of their films. It's cheap and practical, it's good value for money and it's cost-effective.
Chen Kaige and Wang Kefan raised money, this approach is obviously a bit irrational.
Wang Kefan smiled and reminded vaguely: "Director Chen, isn't it vulgar to talk about money, I am very grateful for your consideration of my feelings, but you are not afraid that the producer and investors will trouble you?" ”
Brother Chen Kai laughed twice and asked, "Mr. Wang, are you afraid that the crew won't be able to pay your salary?" Actually, that's not what I meant, looking for you to sing, it's mainly the idea of our investors. The film will be released in Germany first, and considering your influence in Germany, we want to use your song as a promotional point this time. ”
Wang Kefan thought about it, and felt that this was an opportunity to maintain his popularity in Europe, and Brother Chen Kai's request was not excessive, but it was just a trip over, so he smiled and said: "Since Director Chen is so honest, no matter how hypocritical I am, it seems that I am too unstructured, okay, I'll go tomorrow." Director Chen, are you in the capital or in Zhonghai now? ”
"Zhonghai."
"See you tomorrow, then."
After the call with Chen Kaige, Wang Kefan began to write his own tunes without distraction.
I wrote until the evening, feeling that the time was almost up, and Wang Kefan finally stopped working.
After sorting out the dozens of manuscripts on the table and putting them in a plastic folder, Wang Kefan took the folder without locking the door and walked out of the office.
Wang Kefan got off work at 5 o'clock, and at this time, the clerks who had nothing to do all day had already left, and when they came out of the public office room, they saw Li Li, the little girl at the front desk, chatting with Dong Li.
Seeing Wang Kefan come out, Dong Li, who was originally sitting on the chair, immediately jumped up as if he had a spring piece installed.
Wang Kefan smiled at him and said, "Don't pretend, I've seen it all." You don't have to be stretched all day, the security guard is not a doorman, and besides, the doorman doesn't stand all day, you should sit down, don't leave work early. ”
Dong Li works 12 hours a day, from 8:30 in the morning to 8:30 in the evening. However, since he started working, his working hours have far exceeded 12 hours, and he usually waits for Wang Kefan to finish filming in the dance studio before leaving with everyone.
However, Li Li's working hours are normal, and when she saw that Wang Kefan was leaving, she hurriedly picked up the bag that she had packed a long time ago, waved her hand to Dong Li, and said, "Dong Li, I'll go first." ”
Dong Li smiled innocently and watched Wang Kefan and Li Li walk out of the company gate together.
Li Li walked side by side beside Wang Kefan, secretly glancing at it from time to time. In one day, she only had this chance to get so close to Wang Kefan. Friends all know that she is now working in Wang Kefan's studio, and at the party the day before yesterday, some people encouraged her to take Wang Kefan down.
But where is Wang Kefan so easy to win, Li Li has seen Guo Yujing once, and after seeing it, she almost died of this heart. And Guo Yujing aside, even the Mr. Song on the other side is not something she can bear. At noon today, Mr. Song came over to deliver lunch to Wang Kefan, are the two of them tired?
Li Li looked at Wang Kefan with a stupid gaze, and unconsciously walked to the elevator door.
Wang Kefan shook his hand in front of her eyes, and Li Li suddenly turned her eyes away with a red face. Wang Kefan asked funny: "I'm not a handsome guy, can you watch it so with relish?" ”
Li Li lowered her head and whispered: "Men don't rely on their faces to attract women......
Wang Kefan said in a heavy voice: "But when I was in college, girls only liked handsome guys......"
Li Li snorted out laughing and said, "Students, a group of children, what kind of men do you know." ”
"Listening to you, it seems that you are quite experienced?" Wang Kefan quipped.
Li Li even turned red at this time, she stomped her feet, and was not sure what to say, but saw Song Mengyao walk out of the passage.
Meet two people. Song Mengyao smiled slightly. said to Wang Kefan: "Mr. Wang, what a coincidence." ”
Wang Kefan just nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at the lights on the elevator floor, and didn't mean to say anything more.
A while. An ascending elevator stops. Wang Kefan waved his hand to the two of them. Walked up.
Wang Kefan went back and forth, all by helicopter.
Li Li stared at the closed elevator door for a long time, and suddenly heard a voice behind her: "Hey." The elevator arrived. ”
Li Li turned her head and saw that Song Mengyao was already standing in the elevator going down, so she hurriedly ran in and said to Song Mengyao with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." ”
Song Mengyao suddenly asked, "You like your Mr. Wang, right?" ”
"Don't like it...... No, I like ......" Li Li explained a little confusedly, and couldn't help laughing again, she shook her head, calmed down for a while, and said quietly, "I'm originally his fan!" Isn't it normal to like him? Don't you like him? ”
Song Mengyao always had an elegant look on her face, she smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, who doesn't like such a man." Or Mr. Guo is blessed, such a man should marry such a woman, if we find a husband according to Mr. Wang's standards, we can only be a nun in this life. ”
"I feel very content to be able to work by his side." Li Li said something that seemed to be a nymphomaniac, and she didn't know if she was comforting herself.
Wang Kefan went to the rooftop, and Wei Yunhu was already waiting in the plane. This guy is now mixed with Xue Jiangze all day long, either exercising in the gym on the third floor, or bullying elementary school students in the game city on the second floor, until it is time to eat, he will go to the top of the building to wait for Wang Kefan, and live a free life.
The propellers of the plane stirred the air, bringing up strong winds and humming noises, making it difficult to hear each other after a distance of 3 meters.
Wang Kefan got on the plane vigorously, sat next to Wei Yunhu, and said bluntly: "Go." ”
Wei Yunhu pressed the control button, and the plane slowly rose into the air.
"Huzi, fill up the oil tomorrow, we have to go to Zhonghai."
"Okay." Wei Yunhu nodded and didn't ask much.
But Wang Kefan was already talkative, and he hadn't spoken for almost a whole day, so he couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you and Xiao Gu?" ”
"I went to the zoo with her last week, and I wanted to take the opportunity to hold her hand, but I almost didn't get beaten into a panda." Wei Yunhu sighed very much, and said to Wang Kefan with a smile, "Brother Fan, how did you and my sister Yu get along?" ”
Wang Kefan thought about it and said the process very concisely: "We looked at each other...... and cohabited. ”
Wei Yunhu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "." ”
After returning home for dinner and resting for a while, Wei Yunhu sent Wang Kefan back to the mansion.
Guo Yujing didn't complain that Wang Kefan came and went all day long, in her opinion, this is the rhythm of life that an ambitious man should have. Besides, if it weren't for her big belly, she wouldn't be much more leisurely than Wang Kefan.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, another wave of people came to the studio one after another.
Cao Nuo, who was in charge of styling, was the first to arrive, and after asking Wang Kefan's thoughts, he took out more than a dozen sets of clothes from the warehouse. Due to the needs of shooting, there are now more than 300 sets of clothes in the warehouse, and in order to prevent duplication, we have to buy more and more.
Then for each person, Cao Nuo asked them to change their clothes and then helped them put on makeup.
Ampijou's job is very simple, just set up the scene, look at the lighting and camera angles, and then spend the rest of the time either as an audience or as an extra.
Qiao Jian continued his invincible choreography ability, choreographing and filming on the spot, anyway, Wang Kefan's foundation is like a professional, and he can draw a gourd after watching it once, and there is no need to rehearse at all. From 7:10 to nearly 11 o'clock, Wang Kefan completed 2 more MVs with a clear idea, and it took about half an hour to revise them when he went home, and he could send them to Zhu Qishan.
These days, Wang Kefan is uploading his works at an average perverted speed of 3 songs a day for 2 days. So many of his fans have developed a habit of getting up every morning to see if Wang Kefan has updated......
And such a speed is naturally happy for Zhu Qishan and Old Borg.
I have to say that although Wang Kefan's ability to compose music is quite average and can only win by quantity, he is an out-and-out genius in terms of management.
The first thing that comes to mind for many artists after achieving success is "seeking change". But Wang Kefan, who has a deep understanding of the online market, keenly captures one of the most important characteristics of the online market. That is, in the state of still being profitable, it will not change, and it will not change.
Facts have proved that Wang Kefan's idea is very correct.
With the success of "Baby", all the songs that Wang Kefan has written these days are still taking this happy route, with a cheerful and lively style, fast rhythm, simple and interesting lyrics and spoofs.
If it were another well-known singer, he would definitely be scolded for not breaking through and having no connotation, but Wang Kefan doesn't have to worry about having this kind of voice at all. Just because Wang Kefan wrote lyrics in various languages of different countries.
Chinese, English, German, French, Japanese, Russian, and when I go to Italy this time, I should be able to add Italian when I come back. With the help of this powerful and anti-heaven language ability, Wang Kefan's inspiration for writing words is always endless.
The freshness brought by various languages has made Wang Kefan fans all over the world maintain a strong ability to pay.
Now the Chinese songs sung by Wang Kefan have begun to be popular in Germany, and the United States, the country of immigrants, has all kinds of messy voices.
9 days after the studio opened, Wang Kefan released a total of 13 singles, with an average global download of more than 15 million per song, although Zhu Qishan only took 15% of the share, but he still made a lot of money, as for Wang Kefan, he didn't bother to care about how much money he had in his bank account, anyway, it was a large string of 0, it seems that it only takes another 10 years at most to replace Bill Gates.
The outside of the building is still brightly lit at this time, and the leisure center on the second and third floors is at its most lively.
Those fanatical fans who are so fanatical that they can't understand are still squatting hard, hoping to see Wang Kefan come out of the main entrance of the building, but they are doomed to disappointment.
The plane slowly fell on the tarmac in the backyard of the villa, Wei Yunhu got off the plane, and drove the new car that Wang Kefan gave him from the garage back to his home.
Wang Kefan entered the house through the back door, and the lights were still on in the house.
When I walked to the living room, I saw Guo Yujing sitting on the sofa.
She stood up, walked to Wang Kefan's side, wrapped her arms around him, rested her head on Wang Kefan's chest, and didn't speak.
Wang Kefan likes this kind of petty bourgeois spiritual exchange very much, he hugged Guo Yujing's body that seemed to be slightly plump, and after a while, he whispered: "You go to sleep first, I still have a little work." ”
Guo Yujing snorted, raised her head and kissed Wang Kefan lightly on the face, and said, "Come back early tomorrow, my grandfather will come over." (To be continued.) )
