Chapter 45: The Orchestra Gathers the Dynasty

The scenes during the day were successfully filmed, and Zhou Yi went to the film crew for training as usual in the evening.

Now that "Rushing to the Sky Tower" has officially started filming, but as before, there is no press conference, just a silent start, and it is still a small-budget film, so there is no need to start filming with great fanfare. Although the box office results of "Five Poisons" are very eye-catching, there is no need for this film to be publicized, it is better to keep a low profile and accumulate character, and after the filming, see the effect, and then decide how to promote it, it is too late.

At present, some scenes in the building have been filmed with original materials.

In the evening, Zhou Yi also took the time to go to the company's server to look at the various materials that had been filmed, and it felt really good, and the effect far exceeded the old works in his previous life, needless to say. The panoramic presentation of the skyscraper at the beginning of the film is very well done, even better than the previous life, which is very spectacular. If it is accompanied by music, it is even more refreshing. And the actors also acted very well, the scene where Hua Chong signed the alliance and placed the peach blossom jade horse has been filmed, and the scene where Wang Dong of Kaifeng Mansion died in Chongxiao Tower has also been filmed almost well, the picture is very exquisite, and some shots are a little bloody, but they are very exciting.

Chongxiaolou is densely populated, and some bloody scenes are naturally normal.

As long as you stay within a certain level of tolerance, these shots with a violent aesthetic are also appealing.

Especially a fight scene in the building, the filming was really good, and a lot of martial artists from the martial arts group were used.

Although this is not an important fight scene, it is very distinctively filmed.

In particular, the costume design of Chongxiaolou's hidden knife and axe hand is cool and fierce, and it is really much stronger than the grass platform team in the previous life. As soon as you look at the performance in the play, you know that these people are the elite of the palace, well-trained, tacit cooperation, and murderous all over their bodies, all of which are set off by costumes and shapes. In particular, the weapons they used, two-handed short axes and long pieces of thick-backed machetes, were particularly fierce, several grades more fierce than the weapons of the previous life, and more violent. In terms of artistic effects, Director Rong led a group of people behind the scenes and did a beautiful job. Director Zhao is also very satisfied.

This artistic effect is very important and cannot be compared in previous lives.

Costumes, shapes, weapons, and new works have reached a new height, which is the difference between the grass platform team and the regular army.

Wang Dong of Kaifeng Mansion is played by a martial artist, they usually have a lot of time, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, so they can naturally shoot better.

The overall result of the shooting is really outstanding.

has the successful foundation of "Five Poison Gate", and some bonus stimuli issued by Zhuo Qinglian in advance in order to inspire people, and now many crew members are also high-spirited, unwilling to shoot mediocre works. Even if the role of Wang Dong of Kaifeng Mansion was only a small supporting role, and he died in Chongxiao Tower soon in the early stage, the martial artist Qi Yingjie still played this role very well.

The relevant members of the martial arts group also cooperated well, and this scene was naturally excellent.

After seeing these newly released shooting materials, Zhou Yi was completely relieved.

The hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves, and now the momentum of the east is flourishing, and the military heart is available, needless to say. Whether it is success or failure, it is often with inertia. Win after win, lose and lose, the former aurora is like this, and now it is the same in the east.

Director Rong also took the time to mention to Zhou Yi that the company's copyright department has registered the music copyright of the latest songs created by Zhou Yi, and there is no problem. And recently, Director Rong has talked seriously with Mr. Su Jian, as well as the backbone members of the Dynasty Band, about joining the company, and carefully analyzed all kinds of situations, and there seems to be some interest over there, but they are still discussing.

In fact, the Dynasty Band did not directly refuse the solicitation of Zhengdong, which is a good phenomenon, and there is also a credit for Zhou Yi.

At present, the song "Invisible Wings" sung by Zheng Longshi at the preliminary competition of the Voice Yanjing Division has quickly become popular on the Internet and has caused great repercussions. Even if it is affected by free songs on the Internet, the record industry as a whole is now sluggish, but everyone likes to listen to good songs, singers can still be famous, and benefit from the rapid spread of the Internet, now singers tend to become famous faster, and many singers are quickly becoming popular and becoming famous in one song.

Zheng Longshi has this trend of becoming popular now, especially if he is still a cripple, he is naturally more inspirational and respected by people.

Chinese people just like this kind of inspirational theme, lame and die-hard fans, not to mention that Zheng Longshi's image is not bad, which has nothing to do with lameness.

Lameness is not hunched over, and it does not affect the appearance and temperament. Fans are not powdered. What's more, Zheng Longshi did not lame to the extent that Ghost Feet Seven in the movie was shocking. If it limps to that extent, no one can do anything, and no matter how much fans like inspirational youth, it will be difficult for them to become fans. But Zheng Longshi is only slightly lame, and fans can't take off his socks to see, what does it matter?

Now Zheng Longshi has also established a personal Weibo, and the number of fans has suddenly increased a lot.

There has been a lot of publicity on the Internet, and there are also various video dissemination of live recordings.

Even many online media and print media are reporting and seizing the opportunity to hype.

Of course, there is also the credit of the Zhengdong propaganda department, and everyone worked together and cooperated very well.

This time, not only Zheng Longshi became miraculously famous, but Zhou Yi also became even more famous.

As the author of the original lyrics and songs, the top science student in the college entrance examination, and a rising star in the film and television industry, he has recently endorsed the talented men's clothing, and at the same time, there are film and television dramas filming one after another, how can he not be popular, the image of the talented man has been completely established, not only the name of the future action superstar. This is an all-round and multi-angle three-dimensional packaging, and the propaganda methods of the propaganda department are renovated and perfect.

Now Zhou Yi's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and he has developed from the film and television industry to the music circle, not only can write songs, but also write scripts, and even has a place in the literary circle, with an all-knowing and all-powerful posture.

Now there is no need to expose the authorship of "Military Commander's Secret Service", Zhou Yi is also a literary and artistic youth in the circle, even if he is not recognized by the literary circle, but the entertainment industry is very recognized, and everyone's requirements are different.

What the entertainment industry requires is things like lyrics and scripts, and if you can write these things and sell them well, you are talented.

As for whether the article can be published in literary journals or Chinese textbooks, will the entertainment industry care? It's useless for you to have a thousand words!

As a result, even the box office of the film with "Five Poisons" was indirectly affected by this kind of publicity, and the box office still did not plummet significantly this week, and it has always maintained a certain level.

It seems that "Five Poison Gate" can last another week, which is really good.

It's very beautiful to have such a brilliant result in the closing stage.

The total box office of the film finally exceeded 350 million, which is not a big problem.

These things are naturally known to the members of the Dynasty Band.

Zheng Longshi will also tell them.

It's all familiar to everyone now.

After all, Zheng Longshi was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music, although the members of the Dynasty Band have graduated, but they are still seniors. Regardless of whether the Dynasty Band can eventually join Zhengdong or not, they will do their best to help the juniors.

According to Director Rong, Mr. Su Jian and the Dynasty Band have recently come to the company, on the one hand, to produce film soundtracks, and on the other hand, they are really helping Zheng Longshi to arrange songs, which is very serious and very successful.

With their help, Zheng Longshi was much more relaxed and made rapid progress.

At the same time, the Dynasty Band naturally saw some of the songs created by Zhou Yi and was very interested.

Now this newly formed band has no shortage of singers and musicians, but this kind of creative talent. For a band, it is very important to be able to create independently, but there are very few that can do it well. The vast majority of bands rely on record labels.

But the Dynasty Band knows very well that as a newcomer who has just debuted, even if many companies have sent signing intentions, it is not yet known whether they can get good resource training, it is estimated that it is difficult, and it is not easy to want those famous artists to help create songs. They are somewhat envious of Zheng Longshi, who is in the same class as Zhou Yi, or a friend in the same bed, and can easily get the resources that others can't ask for, or Zhou Yi takes the initiative to help, I can't imagine that it is too simple to become popular. Of course, they hope that Zhou Yi can help them write songs, which would be great.

But Zhou Yi will only write songs for his own singers, or the other party's company is a cooperative ally in the industry and has a bond of interest, so it is possible. He doesn't care about writing a few more songs and building relationships with allies, but companies that don't have a stake in them can't get his support.

If the Dynasty Band is willing to sign due east, of course no problem.

Considering this situation, the Dynasty Band was only a little moved, and it is still being studied.

It's hard to make a decision, and they really need to think about it.

If it weren't for Zhou Yi's factor, I'm afraid they wouldn't have considered it at all.

Zhou Yi's creative level is obviously much stronger than theirs, let's not talk about whether he is professional or not, but he is obviously more talented.

Talent is such a thing, it's really frustrating.

If you only rely on their own bands to create, plus cover songs, if you want to get ahead, you have to boil slowly, it's too slow. Today's society is different from before, who doesn't know, it's better to be famous as soon as possible!

Although Zhengdong's music department is very unreliable, not even a grass stage team, the Dynasty Band really doesn't want to give up such a good songwriter as Zhou Yi. In the end, they plan to discuss it with the teacher and ask for their opinion. They knew that Zhengdong was fighting to make Mr. Su Jian the music director. If the teachers are willing to join Zhengdong, at least they have the bottom of their hearts.

At the beginning, Su Jian really didn't have the idea of joining the company, but now Zhengdong is really sincere, and it is related to the future of the students, in the face of this situation, he really has to think about it seriously.

With him in due east, many things are easy to do.

It's nothing more than a name, and it's not a difficult thing.

And it's not just a matter of students, he is also very optimistic about the future of Zheng Longshi and Zhou Yi. He knew that Zheng Longshi was a student of Professor Ruan Hongying, and Professor Ruan was his senior friend, so he was naturally willing to help.

In this way, there is indeed hope that this matter will be negotiated.

Director Zhou Yi and Director Rong chatted carefully and asked some questions. He wondered what other ideological concerns the Dynasty Band had now, whether there were other reasons why he felt that there were not enough people behind the scenes in the company's music department. He wanted to hear Director Rong's professional analysis.

In Director Rong's view, the other party's concern is the length of the contract.

They don't want to sign a long-term contract, presumably because they don't trust the current situation of the music department in Zhengdong. Even if the company has Zhou Yi, they don't dare to trust it unreservedly, and they are naturally unwilling to tie themselves to Zhengdong here, for fear of delaying their lives.

This problem may seem simple, but it is precisely difficult to deal with.

There is no way for the Zhengdong side to suddenly trust the other party.

As for signing a three-year short-term contract, the due east side will definitely not do it, so what's the point?

Even if Director Rong agrees, Manager Zheng can't pass it, and there is no such precedent in the industry. Zhou Yi understood the reason, and he was also unwilling to give in to the company. After all, the other party is not indispensable and is not worth the company's efforts.

In fact, Director Rong also has this view.

Generally, singers who have become famous in the industry will only sign short-term contracts of three or five years, and newcomers who have just debuted are all ten-year long-term contracts, otherwise how can any company be willing to cultivate? How can any company dare to tilt resources towards short-term workers? Aren't you afraid that after the singer becomes famous, he immediately runs away?

Poaching is common in the industry.

Even after the singer became famous, in order to terminate the contract, he changed jobs, independent portals, and maliciously transferred his property in advance. Isn't the company losing all its money? It's not that no company has been cheated before.

The law generally favors weaker singers, but record companies are certainly reluctant, and the contracts are naturally becoming more and more demanding. If you don't sign a ten-year contract, it means that you are not the company's own person, who dares to cultivate you without scruples? To cultivate new singers or new bands, the company must invest huge packaging and publicity costs in the early stage, and even the first three years are pure investment. You don't have fame, and doing it from scratch costs money, of course. Those famous singers will be much better, so the conditions for them are more lenient, and newcomers certainly can't compare.

Although these investments are nothing compared to the tens of millions of dollars invested in making movies, Zhou Yi mixed into the entertainment industry and did not specialize in charity. It's okay to spend money on your sister, and others will forget it.

Like Gao Song and Zheng Zilong, they both have long-term contracts signed in the company, so Zhou Yicai dares to cultivate them without scruples. It is absolutely difficult for other companies in the industry to poach them, and they will definitely have to pay a great price, and they may not be able to do it. What's more, the two of them have never abandoned the company at critical moments, and they have proven their loyalty, which is naturally worth cultivating. Second-tier stars are like this, not to mention newcomers who have just debuted!

If there is no long-term appointment, who dares to guarantee that the other party has no backbones in the back of their heads?

Zhou Yi chatted with Director Rong and asked him to talk about these issues as much as possible, explain these problems openly and honestly to the other party, and not be afraid to say ugly things in front. If the other party is really unwilling, then there is no way, the company cannot make too many concessions in this regard.

Of course, if Su Jian is willing to come to the company to help and take the position of music director, for the sake of his face, it is not impossible to talk. Su Jian's status and connections in the music industry, especially in the college, are naturally more important than a few outstanding students.

Sometimes, seniority is indeed valued more than talent.

Zhou Yi emphatically mentioned that no matter how the final contract is signed, the key is that the company must firmly grasp the music copyright created by Zhou Yi. For Zhengdong, artists are not the most important resource, but the copyright library is the most important, which can bring a steady stream of benefits. As for artists, in terms of film and television dramas, men have Zhou Yi, women have Tang Yan, music has Zheng Longshi, and other artists, no one is irreplaceable.

At present, it is enough for the company to have Gao Song and Zheng Zilong as pillars, as long as Zhou Yi is willing, it is not easy to become popular with a few artists, and the children of Mr. Guo's family can also come, and when Zhou Yi's brothers and sisters go to Yanying to go to school, it is very simple to bring in a few classmates and friends, and if it is not enough, you can find an ally company to second, and artist resources are not important, so the company focuses on copyright, and in terms of music, it is only necessary to grasp copyright, who sings the song differently?

This is the record company's main means of controlling its artists.

You can change jobs, but you can't take the copyright with you. The loss of changing jobs in this way is huge, which is equivalent to starting all over again.

This situation is normal, the record company is not for charity, will it help competitors cultivate talent for nothing?

Artists are generally at a disadvantage in this regard, and basically have no ability to resist.

From this point of view, even if it is the contract period, it is not impossible to make concessions.

Even if they change jobs and leave in the future, it is only themselves who will suffer, as long as Zhou Yi's creative ability is still there, they can pick up as many newcomers as they want. The pillar of Zhengdong's music department in the future is Zheng Longshi, and it can't be someone else. With the close relationship between classmates and friends, it is impossible for Zheng Longshi to go to another family. As for the others, they are all dispensable.

Explain these things clearly, Director Rong understands Zhou Yi's thoughts.

In Zhou Yi's view, these people in the Dynasty Band are good, and the company can expand the department, enhance its strength, decorate the façade, and make it more convenient for film and television song production, but they are not irreplaceable, and it is not difficult to find new people to replace them in the future.

The key is that the company must seize the copyright, people can go, but the music copyright cannot be taken away, this is the truth.

The boss has this idea, and it is easier to negotiate.

In fact, those big companies in the industry are also unlikely to give better conditions, and these methods are all fixed routines. Even if the Dynasty Band went to negotiate with other companies, as newcomers, they would not be able to take advantage. Director Rong felt that the conditions of his company were already very relaxed. By contrast, they know how to choose. In this world, after all, it depends on strength to speak.

When you don't have strength, you can't take advantage.

It's the same for Dynasty Band.

It's up to them.

Zhou Yi knew the general situation of some bands in his previous life. If the band works its own, it can get ahead, but I don't know how hard it will be and how long it will take, especially in the initial stage, and I may not even have the money to rent the office space of the studio.

When these bands were first established, they were generally very mentally motivated, and they could often release two or three albums, but the further they went, the more they couldn't, their talent ran out, and they might not be able to get an album for a few years, or they simply used compilations to fill up the numbers, slowly consuming their accumulated fame, and began to eat their old books and gradually sink. In the industry, Jiang Lang's talent is the general norm. Except for the top few, no one's talent is endless.

There were too many bands like this in previous lives, even very famous bands.

Those bands basically relied on their former fame, and they are actually dead.

In today's world, a successful band often has the support of big companies, and it is useless to rely on yourself. No matter how strong your personal ability is, it is difficult to maintain a band for a long time, unless you are a reborn strongman.

Zhou Yi is very confident in this regard, and he is not afraid that the other party will not comply.

Everyone is mixed in the industry, the basic situation is clear, and the other party must understand this truth.

It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, so why bother with a single tree!

In fact, the result was just as Zhou Yi expected.

Frankly, the Dynasty Band did not insist too much, perhaps under the influence of their teachers, they finally signed a formal brokerage contract with Zhengdong and became a signed artist in Zhengdong's newly established music department. The term of the contract was set at eight years, and the East side made a slight concession, so that until they were thirty years old, if there was no accident, they would have been the people of the East.

Even if they want to change jobs, or fly solo, at the age of 30, they are in their prime, and there are still good opportunities.

In this way, the east side can rest assured, and they can also be satisfied.

When the contract expires, it is estimated that Zhengdong's music department has developed, and they may not be willing to leave, so it will not be difficult to renew the contract at that time.

The other aspects of the contract are formulated in accordance with Zhou Yi's requirements, Director Rong is responsible, the company's senior management checks, and finally confirmed by Zhuo Qinglian and reported to Zhou Yi to know, everything is in accordance with the procedure, there is no problem.

On Friday afternoon, after filming, Zhou Yi received a message from the company's headquarters and was very satisfied.

And Mr. Su Jian finally agreed to the invitation of Director Lao Yourong, and named the music director in the company, and usually came to see it.

Now there are really no people in the music department of Zhengdong, only one music editor, with two assistants, who are usually busy with the work of the film crew, and some of the work has to be done by the five members of the Dynasty Band, and the company is preparing to recruit some behind-the-scenes personnel, and the Dynasty Band They have to help with interviews and inspections, and the work will start quickly in the near future, which is very busy.

What's more, they will also help Zheng Longshi make arrangements for the Voice in the near future, and then prepare the movie soundtrack, and it is estimated that they will also prepare the interlude soundtrack and theme song and ending song of the TV series in the future.

These are their recent key tasks, and it is estimated that some of them are busy.

These things are joined by professional masters, and there are relevant personnel of the company to cooperate, and Director Rong is responsible for coordination, everything is normal, and there is no need to worry about it. He can shoot movies and TV series with peace of mind, and he will shoot endorsement commercials in the near future, and he is also very busy with his work.
