Chapter 56: The Meeting
After a long time, looking at the songs on the white paper in front of him, Jiang Lin smiled helplessly, after all, the songs are still too few rewards for huàn, if they can be built completely according to their own ideas, the quality of the album will undoubtedly be on the basis of the existing plan, but if such words are destined to be difficult to achieve, there is no way, who let the songs in his hands be completely insufficient for huàn rewards.
Can we just discard these four songs? Jiang Lin looked at "Two Little No Guesses", "Uncle, Don't Run", "Love Flower", "123 Wooden Man" on the white paper quite painfully, these are all works that he thinks are quite good, and he also feels from the bottom of his heart that Li Man's album should have such a fresh and lovely song, after all, as long as adolescent girls are mentioned, adjectives such as lively, cute, simple, and fresh will automatically appear in people's minds. I believe that such a song can make Li Man get more likes from fans, and at the same time, it can also make the music style of the album richer.
However, who let the song rewards in his hands be extremely limited, these four songs are good, but they obviously can't get a big stage, they can only listen to it, and it is naturally difficult to overwhelm the other selected songs.
What to do? After thinking about it, Jiang Lin finally made a difficult choice, and at the moment of making the decision, he felt as if he had exhausted all his strength.
After a short rest, Jiang Lin immediately left the apartment without the slightest delay, and went to a musical instrument store that had found an address on the Internet.
The same is a musical instrument, but the purchase of piano and guitar is very different, after all, the piano is only played at home, and the price of the top professional piano is really high, so after a little consideration, Jiang Lin spent 18,000 to buy a high-end home professional playing horizontal piano suitable for beginners, ready to wait for the future when he has money.
The guitar is considered to be a serious musician after all, and it is convenient to take out performances, so I spent 20,000 yuan to buy an acoustic guitar that is said to be written by a master, which is quite expensive in the acoustic guitar.
After the piano was transported back to the apartment and rested for a while, Jiang Lin began to try to play "You at the Same Table", among the stock songs in his hands, this song is undoubtedly the most suitable for playing and singing with the guitar, and it is also the best song he sings.
Time flickered for two days, during which Xia Bing came with the news that Hanhai Records had made a resolution to increase the budget for Li Man's new album, which was increased to 1.2 million on the basis of the original 800,000, don't look at this number, but it is already second only to Fengyun Brothers and Huang Xuan in Hanhai Records, and to be able to make such a resolution is naturally thanks to the songs he came up with.
At this time, Jiang Lin also came to Tangde Film and Television for the first time, and unlike the previous Hanhai Records, the employees of Tangde Film and Television looked at him
There is no strange meaning in the eyes, some are just curious, the script of "Huanzhu Gege" was recommended by Teng Jilin personally, which is not a secret at all within Tangde Film and Television, through the previous cooperation of "Jingzhong Yue Fei", Tangde Film and Television naturally understands Teng Jilin's personality, and can get his full recommendation, the script level of "Huanzhu Gege" is obviously not said, maybe it is not as exaggerated as advertised to the outside world, but it must be quite good, otherwise the company will not give such a high price, And Zhang Yaming will not agree so refreshingly.
Jiang Lin was taken directly to the conference room, and after sitting for less than five minutes, a group of three middle-aged people walked in.
"Hello, Jiang Lin, I finally waited for you to come, I'm Su Changqing, it's a pleasure to meet you." First, a middle-aged man wearing a shirt and trousers said with a smile on his face, which made people feel comfortable.
"Hello, Mr. Su, I didn't expect to see you so soon, it's so flattering." Jiang Lin calmly got up and said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Changqing's eyes, Jiang Lin's mature and steady appearance did not look like a young man who was about to enter the university campus, should it be said that it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers? This is the only explanation.
Surprised and surprised, he smiled heartily on his face: "Ha, let you see the smile, our Tangde Film and Television is just a small workshop-style company, and we usually don't have projects, and it is rare to encounter such a good project, of course I have to seize the opportunity to show up and show my sense of existence." ”
"Mr. Su, you are too modest, no wonder Tangde Film and Television has achieved such outstanding results since its establishment, with a humble and wise leader like you, it is difficult to succeed." Jiang Lin smiled, his words were not completely complimentary, Tang De Film and Television does not have many works every year, only two or three, but the quality of the works is quite good, successfully standing out from a large number of film and television companies, and has a certain popularity and influence in the industry.
"Ha, that's not my credit, thanks to the fact that I have a group of capable brothers to help me, Jiang Lin, let me introduce you, this is Fang Tao, the manager of the production department, and this is Gu Jianfeng, the manager of the publicity and planning department, and they will follow up the preparation, filming and specific publicity matters of "Huanzhu Gege" throughout the process." Su Changqing pointed to the two people behind him.
"Hello Manager Zhang! Hello Mr. Gu! Jiang Lin smiled.
After saying hello, the four of them sat down and chatted with each other, mainly around the creative process of "Huanzhu Gege" and the conception of the second part.
"Mr. Su, Director Zhang and they are here!" A sweet female voice rang out.
The four people in the laughing conversation suddenly all stood up, and at the same time, their eyes naturally looked at the door of the conference room, behind the beautiful reception reception, four middle-aged men of different ages also looked over, their eyes all fell on Jiang Lin, their eyes flashed with curiosity, they could appear in the conference room at this moment, and they were so young, even if they hadn't seen Jiang Lin's photos, they could guess their identities lightly.
Su Changqing's face was suddenly full of smiles: "Director Zhang, you are here, please take a seat, Jiang Lin is also here." ”
After that, it was naturally another hello, except for the director Zhang Yaming, the remaining three were photographer Xu Kefan, art director Liu Jingqi, and action director Hong Jinghai.
"You talk, I won't bother your work here." After saying hello, Su Changqing immediately got up and left the conference room.
"Okay, let's officially start the meeting, I'll tell Jiang Lin about the plan of "Huanzhu Gege", in terms of investment budget, based on this is a Qing palace comedy, there are not too many big scenes, so the initial drama budget is 9.6 million, which is equal to the budget of 400,000 per episode of TV series, considering that there are many main characters in the play, the budget is difficult to bear the price of all-star actors, and only inviting one or two heavyweight stars will destroy the overall sense of the series, I discussed it with Director Zhang, We will use a large number of new actors or powerful actors with good quality and low prices, and the main funds will be invested in the quality of production," Fang Tao said unhurriedly.
After Fang Tao, Zhang Yaming and others introduced the ideas they were responsible for, and Jiang Lin also put forward his own views based on the situation of "Huanzhu Gege" that he had seen.
"Okay, that's all for the morning meeting for the time being, it's not too early, let's have a meal together at noon, Mr. Su has already booked a banquet." Fang Tao said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm hungry." Zhang Yaming smiled, and looked at Jiang Lin while getting up: "Jiang Lin, are you interested in coming to the crew as an assistant director?" ”
The others all looked at Zhang Yaming in surprise, they didn't expect him to make such an invitation, and then their eyes were focused again, wanting to hear how Jiang Lin answered.
Zhang Yaming smiled, due to Jiang Lin's age, he originally didn't have much hope for Jiang Lin to participate in the preparation for filming, just when Jiang Lin went through the motions, but Jiang Lin undoubtedly surprised him, many of the suggestions he mentioned were very useful for filming, I believe that having him on the set can make filming more trouble-free.
Of course, Jiang Lin is a pure rookie, and he has no experience in the work of an assistant director at all, let alone any ability, I'm afraid he doesn't even know what the assistant director wants to do, he just lets Jiang Lin play soy sauce, and occasionally mentions his own construction, and he will not really let him be in charge of affairs.
Jiang Lin naturally didn't know Zhang Yaming's thoughts, he just tried his best to make "Huanzhu Gege" not be ruined, for this reason, he did a lot of homework, and watched two episodes of "Huanzhu Gege" every night when he went to bed, not only watching, but also constantly thinking about how to shoot "Huanzhu Gege" well in this world.
"Of course I'm interested, thank you very much Director Zhang for your invitation, but time is a problem, Director Zhang, you also know that I'm busy with Li Man's new album now, and at the same time I'm a student majoring in film drama in the Department of Literature of Yenching Film Academy, it's hard to find time, I'm sorry Director Zhang, I disappointed you, if you don't mind, I would like to play a role with lines in it, just have one or two lines, just use two days of a weekend to visit the crew." Jiang Lin chuckled and said, for Zhang Yaming's invitation, it must be false to say that he was not impressed, but unfortunately, after just a little pondering, he found that it was difficult for him to find time.
"Okay, no problem." Zhang Yaming smiled.
"Thank you, Director Zhang." Jiang Lin smiled brightly, and made a cameo appearance in "Huanzhu Gege", and another script was rewarded with huàn.
