Chapter 60: New Song Launch
On the day of the closing of the Berlin Film Festival, Paddy Music began to build momentum for Cheng Peng's new song.
The contracted singers under Inada Music have posted a journal on their blogs, explaining that Nirvana's new song will be officially released on March 2, and I hope everyone can support it.
Cheng Peng's new song was originally intended to raise funds for the new film, but at that time, he felt that the overseas copyright could be sold for about 10 million, which means that he still needed 10 million, and he could only raise part of the funds through the song; At the same time, add a singer's aura to yourself to reduce the difficulty of attracting investment.
Now that the budget for the new film is sufficient, he is a little interested in this event, but it can't be canceled, even if the MV spends one million, the key is to take 3 million advertising placement fees from BenQ to promote their digital cameras, and they have to do it if they don't do it.
On the day of the press conference, the scene was turbulent and noisy, with dozens of media and hundreds of enthusiastic fans, almost crowding the entire scene.
In the background of the stage is a black silhouette of a man, with the words "Nirvana New Song Conference" written on the left, and on the big screen in the center of the stage, the flash of "Myth" is playing.
At ten o'clock, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old male host wearing a suit and black-framed glasses walked to the center of the stage, looked at the black crowd under and off the stage, and started his opening remarks with a smile.
"Last year, there was one incident that caused a special sensation on the Internet, and even sparked a discussion about 'grassroots culture', which was selected as one of the top 10 online events last year, and that was the 'Myth' incident. Many people regard Nirvana as their idol and like him very much, but Nirvana has always been very mysterious, and no one knows what he looks like, and today we will uncover the mystery. However, before he officially debuts, let's enjoy the music video of his new song "Fairy Tale". ”
As soon as the host's words fell, the MV began, and a man and a woman appeared on the big screen, the girl was pure and beautiful, the boy was sunny and handsome, and the two were a pair of lovers, frolicking outside the campus.
But the reporters at the scene were scratched, they were entertainment reporters, not sports reporters, and it was impossible not to know the man in the picture.
No, why is Cheng Peng in the MV?
"Nirvana won't be Cheng Peng, right?" A reporter asked in a whisper.
"No, Cheng Peng is an actor, I haven't heard of him singing, Cheng Peng is not a director, I guess he was asked to shoot the MV!"
"This Nirvana is so lucky, I was able to invite Cheng Peng to copy the knife MV for him, and he also starred in it himself, it's hard to think about this song if it's not popular!"
"You can't say that, Nirvana's strength is not blown, isn't this song good?"
The discussion did not continue, everyone was attracted by the content of the MV, the content of the MV was very sad, two youthful faces, two people in love, because of a car accident separated by heaven and man
But luckily, the boy was filmed in the camera, which gave him the opportunity to reunite with the girl. He wrote the text on his hand and passed the message to his roommate, telling him to quickly change the next photo, and then the next one, and the next one, because the last photo was a picture of the girl, where he was able to reunite with the girl.
When the boy goes through one photo after another, finally finds the girl in the last photo. He hugged her with tears in his eyes and kissed her desperately, and there was a sobbing sound when he got off the stage.
At the end of the MV, the boy smiled and stretched out his palm with the words "Let me stay" to the camera, turning it into a photo freeze frame, and the audience cried even more.
When the music stopped, the host wiped the corners of his eyes that were a little moist, and said with emotion: "Being a host for so long, it's the first time to watch the MV and cry, I really didn't expect the MV to be able to shoot to this extent." Without further ado, it's time for the answer to be revealed, and now it's time for Nirvana! ”
In the midst of the anticipatory gaze, a young man stepped onto the stage, with a tall posture, a handsome face, dark eyes, and a warm smile, as dazzling as the sun.
The reporters are crazy, the photographers are crazy, the flash under the stage flashed, Nirvana is really Cheng Peng, it's incredible, it's definitely big news!
The fans present were also boiling, whistling, screaming, everyone was so excited, whether they knew Cheng Peng or not, but Nirvana is really a handsome guy!
Cheng Peng stood in the center of the stage, looked at the black fan team below, and dozens of reporters from entertainment media, smiled, bowed to everyone, and said, "Hello everyone! I'm Nirvana, my real name is Cheng Peng, and I welcome you all to this press conference! ”
After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone, and the audience once again burst into warm applause and cheers.
The host standing next to him walked over, nodded with a smile, and said to Cheng Peng: "Should I call you Director Cheng or Nirvana?" ”
Cheng Peng smiled: "Just call me Cheng Peng!" ”
The host said: "When you came on stage, the expression of the audience under the stands, everyone was stunned after I told me your true identity, no one thought that you were Nirvana!" ”
Cheng Peng smiled: "I've always liked to surprise everyone!" ”
The host said: "You wrote all the lyrics and music of your songs by yourself, and you are also a director, and you also won an award at the film festival." I would like to ask, how do you do it? ”
"It's very simple, because I'm a director, and film is a comprehensive project, especially for a filmmaker like me, because I don't have money, I have to do a lot of things by myself, otherwise the movie can't be made, you have to understand everything. Many directors are all-rounders, you look at director Zhang Yimou, in addition to making movies, he has acted and won the best actor at the Tokyo Film Festival, sang "Sister, You Go Forward Boldly", directed opera, directed ballet, I am far worse than him in these two moments! ”
……
The launch event went very smoothly, with only a small accident interacting with the fans who took the stage.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who looked delicate and delicate, blushed with peach cheeks, said in a thin voice: "I like your "Myth" very much, and I like you too, can I hug you?" ”
Cheng Peng nodded with a smile and opened his arms: "No problem!" ”
The girl walked up to Cheng Peng with nervousness and excitement, hugged him, she put her face on Cheng Peng's chest, her heart was like a deer, her hands tightly wrapped around Cheng Peng's waist, she felt like a dream, and she was so happy that she was about to soften.
Cheng Peng gently hugged her figure with both hands, and after hugging her, she was about to let go, but she felt that the girl was paralyzed and fell down against him. He realized that something was wrong, and quickly held her up, only to see that the girl's eyes were closed, her face was crimson, and she had fainted.
Just a hug, as for being so excited?
Cheng Peng was quite helpless, he only watched it as a joke when he heard the fans of celebrities faint before, but he didn't expect him to be so lucky, so he quickly hugged the girl and reached out and pinched her hard.
The girl woke up with a sigh and saw that she was in Cheng Peng's arms, a little panicked, a little shy, her face turned even redder, and she whispered: "I'm sorry, I'm so excited!" ”
Cheng Peng was relieved to see that she was fine, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you may have low blood sugar, pay attention, your body is very important!" ”
The girl was very touched and nodded, "I will, thank you!" ”
As soon as the press conference ended, a large group of reporters pounced on the stage like hungry wolves, blocking Cheng Peng in the middle of the stage, and throwing out their own questions.
"Cheng Peng, why don't you release an album and only release a single?"
"Music is just a hobby, and the movies I like, definitely are mainly movies. It's okay to create one or two songs a year to play tickets, but it's really not too much trouble to make an album, not so much time, and not so much energy. ”
"Director, the story of this MV is very good, will it be adapted into a movie?"
Cheng Peng praised this question, the story of the MV is good, and it is a good idea to adapt it into a movie: "No, I have other shooting plans, and this story is not under consideration for the time being." ”
This remark aroused the reporter's strong interest, and he immediately asked: "What is the theme, will you participate in the film festival?" ”
Cheng Peng explained: "It is a monster type horror film, and the script of the movie has been submitted for review before the Chinese New Year, but there is a little technical problem, and some modifications need to be made, and it will be started after a while." ”
"Director Cheng, no one should have filmed this kind of theme in China, why do you want to shoot this theme?"
"It's because there is no one, that's why we have to shoot, I think we can shoot Hollywood stories, such as "The Mummy", is there no ancient tomb in China, no tomb robbers? A few tomb robbers enter the tomb and encounter all kinds of legendary monsters, which is probably more interesting than Hollywood movies! Or what will it be like for the monster to appear in the magic capital in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"? Definitely not worse than a Hollywood movie. Of course, we can't make that big stories now, but we can make smaller stories and accumulate some technical experience, so that when our market grows bigger, we can make real big movies. ”
"What are the considerations for actors, will Tong Liyu continue to act?"
"It's inconvenient to disclose the actors now, but everyone will know after a while."
Major websites quickly published reports about the press conference, and this time the news was too strong and there were too many materials.
In an Internet café, after watching the media's interview with Cheng Peng, a man jumped up and exclaimed excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it earlier, this idea is fantastic!" ”
The girl next to her said: "Tianxia Ba Sing, what are you stimulated, why are you surprised?" ”
Tianxia Ba sang and laughed: "Tomb robbers enter the grave, encounter zombies, encounter legendary monsters, this idea is fantastic, wonderful adventure theme, I know what to write!" ”;
