Chapter 114: Preparations
"Mr. Mo!" Zhang Xueyou was in the practice room to familiarize himself with the new song, Mo Fei pushed the door open and came in, and several people present all stopped their business and greeted Mo Fei.
Mo Fei is very concerned about Zhang Xueyou's first album, in the original history, his first album bought more than 300,000 copies, if this new album can't break the original record, it will be an absolute failure.
looked at a few people present and asked, "How is it, the practice is almost complete, when can I record?" ”
Zhang Xueyou seemed a little embarrassed, but she still had the courage to say: "Mr. Mo, can you give me some advice, I heard Sister Sally say when I chatted with her before, Mr. Mo, you are very insightful in music, and there are many places in her album that you pointed out." ”
This girl is really straight, say anything, this is the future god of songs, Mo Fei smiled helplessly in his heart. However, Zhang Xueyou has just debuted now, and there is indeed something that can be improved, but it is not completely incomprehensible. And if you refuse directly at this time, it will make others think that you are only giving the ghost sister partial food, which is easy to breed negative emotions.
Said: "You are the champion of the 18th District Competition, I don't think there will be too much advice I can give, you can sing it and see, maybe you can really find something." But I'm weird, you seem to be two months older than Sally, how can you call her that? ”
This question made Zhang Xueyou a little confused, and wondered: "We are both singers from the same company, and she signed a contract and debuted earlier than me, so I should call her that." And in our lives, neighbors and neighbors are almost all called like this, right, is there anything wrong? ”
Zhang Xueyou has always been known for being polite, and the so-called politeness is not strange to many people, but he just didn't react for a while, and said: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just a title, you can just be casual." ”
Zhang Xueyou saw that Mo Fei was in a good mood, and decided to say something else, but he was eyeing a few good songs in Mo Fei's hand, and he was already itching when Mo Fei asked him to try to sing.
Got closer and said: "Mr. Mo, can you add two of those songs last time to my new album, those songs feel very good, and they will definitely be able to push the album to a higher position." ”
A few days ago, Mo Fei took out a lot of Zhang Xueyou's songs many years later, or even twenty years later, and asked him to sing them all, mainly to see if he can reach the level of popularity at that time, and then he can formulate a more complete and smooth development plan.
Since that day, Zhang Xueyou has been thinking about those songs, "Kiss Goodbye", "Love Letter", "True Love", "A Thousand Reasons to Be Sad", "She Came to My Concert", ......, I don't want to let go of every one, and I can't wait to stuff them into an album immediately.
Could it be that he expected him to say this, looked at Zhang Xueyou with a smile, and said, "You're not afraid of being greedy and chewing too much?" Your grasp of some feelings has not yet reached the point where it is perfect, and those songs cannot achieve the best effect, and they cannot deduce the essence of it, but the songs in this album are the most suitable for you. What are you in a hurry, those songs are yours sooner or later, as long as your skills are enough, I don't need you to say that I will take it out as soon as possible, is it only you who want the quality of the album to be better. ”
That's right, sing the most suitable song at the most suitable time, then you can achieve the best effect, otherwise Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit and spoils good things.
Zhang Xueyou also understood this, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Then I will thank Mr. Mo in advance, I will start practicing singing, Mr. Mo, you must give more opinions." ”
Mo Fei smiled playfully, stretched out his finger and nodded at Zhang Xueyou, and said: "Play with me carefully, I said that sooner or later it will be yours, what are you worried about, sing quickly, if you don't sing again, I'll leave." ”
I'm sure that those super good songs are all my own, and the company supports me so much that it has already started to prepare for the rest of the things. Zhang Xueyou is also a lot more energetic, and he is secretly determined to work hard to do everything well, and he is worthy of the company's cultivation and support, and the most important thing at the moment is to do a good job of his first album.
……
"Pirates of Malacca" is not going to be made into a series as it was originally made, so the previous preparations must be done sufficiently, a few pirate ship props, and artillery or something, everything has to be done. After Disney filmed the first part, many props were discarded, and when the second and third parts were filmed, they had to do it again, losing tens of millions of dollars in vain.
Although the current price is far less than that of 20 years later, it is not a small number, and the current Phoenix culture does not have the same face as Disney, so many real old warship shells can be renovated, and it would be good to get a few broken ship shelves, and the initial investment will naturally be greater.
The director of the film has already decided to use Wu Yusen, so it is logical that the preparatory work in the early stage will fall on Wu Yusen's head. Wu Yusen couldn't believe it when he learned that Mo had to make such a big move, and he couldn't believe that the boss actually handed over the responsibility of directing to him, so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth wide open, and almost bit his tongue.
The two of them planned for more than three days in a row, and finally got a clue about the preparations to be done in the early stage, looking at the thick stack of materials full of various items and points written in front of them, Mo Fei and Wu Yusen felt that their heads were incomparably big again.
"Lao Wu, I think the original plan of a year of preparation time is not enough, let's move closer to a year and a half, fortunately, we are going to make a series, otherwise I don't know how much money will be wasted after such a toss." The preparation to be done is beyond imagination, Mo Fei sighed.
Wu Yusen also felt the same way, smiled bitterly twice, and said: "There is enough preparation, just those warship props will take at least a year to prepare, and it must be guaranteed that they can continue to be used when filming other sequels, and those artillery pieces or something, it is even more troublesome to do it, and I think it is just enough for a year and a half."
However, this is also beneficial, when we make movies with similar themes in the future, there will be no problem with the props, all of them are our own things, and we can even rent these props to other film companies, which is what the old people often call the family background. Looking at your posture, it doesn't look like you're going to hastily withdraw your troops, and I believe that these props will definitely come in handy in the future. ”
Wu Yusen is really right, just the props and venue construction will cost nearly 200 million bills, how can it be satisfied with just making a series, these props, warships and artillery and other things, at least fifteen or more films must be made, in order to be considered not in vain.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" only knows about five films, and he crossed over before the sixth part came out, but another naval war film can fill this gap. The timing of the appearance of "Angry Seas" is very unfortunate, just in time for the same year as "Pirates of the Caribbean", and it is still ranked behind, even the protagonist is called Jack, and he still tells a regular naval battle story, and it is conceivable that the box office failure under the collision can be imagined.
However, "Angry Sea" won a lot at the Oscars, winning ten nominations and taking away two statuettes; Pirates of the Caribbean, on the other hand, had only five nominations and did not win the final award.
O'Brien, the original author of "The Furious Sea", has written twenty novels in this series, of which there is a lot of room for adaptation, as long as the release schedule is staggered with "Pirates of Malacca", it will be another series of blockbusters. No matter how bad it is, you can also complete the sequel to "Pirates of Malacca" based on the "Fury of the Sea" series, or derive another series of movies, in short, there is a lot to be done.
