Chapter 34: The Singer of the Opening Credits
Perhaps it was the words of the Taoist priest of Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong last time that Lin Xingchen heard that his father lamented that many students had to give up the opportunity to study in college because of their family background, Lin Xingchen also knew that the students that his father looked down on the most gave up their studies.
It's just that he knows very well that the Chinese people don't suffer from poverty and inequality. In order to make his father feel better, Lin Xingchen is also willing to do some good deeds and sponsor some students to complete their university studies.
But Lin'an is not a developed city, and there are many such students who cannot afford to study. With such a scholarship, if there is no sound supervision, in the end a good thing will turn into a bad thing. And this is undoubtedly not what Lin Xingchen wants to see!
Growing up in No. 1 Middle School, Lin Xingchen naturally has a deep affection for this alma mater. It's just that Lin Xingchen, who has seen too much and has been questioned a lot about doing good deeds, would rather keep a low profile and do good deeds without saving a lot of trouble.
Regarding the matter of the bursary fund, the actual person in charge was handed over to the mother. As for the mentality of a good old man like his father, Lin Xingchen is very worried that the first installment of the 1 million bursary fund will definitely be spent in one semester.
It's not that Lin Xingchen is reluctant to invest money, but this kind of money is a bottomless pit, and donating this money to the people who need it the most is what Lin Xingchen thinks should be the most important thing to do. At present, this bursary fund is not limited to No. 1 Middle School.
In Lin Xingchen's words, let my mother contact the high schools in Lin'an. Let those schools provide some information about students with excellent character and academics, and whether they can finally apply for bursaries depends on whether the information meets the funding standards.
In these days, if you can get free money, no matter how rich you are, you will say that you don't have money! That's the way of the world!
Leaving this matter to his mother, Lin Xingchen flew back to Mingzhu and continued to be a student. While busy completing his studies, he and Zhao Jun also seized the time to improve the post-production of the 'Love Apartment'.
Watch the finished first episode clip. Lin Xingchen still seemed very satisfied. But Zhao Jun quickly said: "Xingchen, have you forgotten something!" Our TV series doesn't have a theme and ending song yet! ”
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Lin Xingchen patted his head and smiled: "Ah! If you don't say it, I've really forgotten about it. Recently, I've only been focusing on editing shots, and I've really forgotten about it. It's okay. Just give me two days! ”
'Okay, then I'll leave that to you.' ’
Knowing Lin Xingchen's ability to write songs, Zhao Jun was naturally relieved and handed over this matter to Lin Xingchen. After watching the first episode of the system, Lin Xingchen personally felt that the effect was good.
According to Lin Xingchen's plan, the first season of Love Apartment will be broadcast during the summer vacation. As for which TV station it will be broadcast, Lin Xingchen has not thought about it for the time being. In fact, he would prefer to broadcast it on a big station like Pearl.
It's just that Lin Xingchen knows very well that Pearl TV may not be able to watch this TV produced by Xingchen Film and Television. Even if you look at it. The price that can be made for each episode is not too high.
In fact, in addition to TV copyright, network copyright is also valued by Lin Xingchen. The cost of producing twenty episodes in the first season is only more than one million. The cost of making zuò per episode is less than 100,000 yuan.
Putting aside this kind of outdoor sitcom, it doesn't cost much in itself. Lin Xingchen feels that earning back the cost should not be a problem. The worst. Even if there is no TV station to buy it, the optical network copyright should also earn back the cost.
With this confidence. Lin Xingchen is naturally not worried about the TV series that comes out of the production of zuò in his hands. But he also understands that the current online video market is far from being as prosperous as in later generations.
The most important thing is that he made this drama not only to make money, but also to make the company famous, and by the way, he will make these signed artists popular. This is Lin Xingchen. The reason for choosing 'Love Apartment' as the first zuò drama.
wrote the theme song that lasted for several seasons, and a song that would only appear in the second season, and Lin Xingchen also wrote it. The latter song, which he intends to use as the ending song, will be sung by each of the leading actors.
As for the theme song 'My Future Tense'. wanted to find a female singer to sing, but it made Lin Xingchen a little difficult. As for the three female artists currently signed by the company, Li Jingming's singing skills are undoubtedly better.
can interpret this kind of song, Lin Xingchen feels that she is still not good!
According to what he knows, this song 'My Future Tense' was sung by a new female singer in Treasure Island. In order to record a theme song, Xingshi mobilized the crowd to invite a singer from Treasure Island, which was not necessary in Lin Xingchen's opinion.
After thinking about the female singers he knew, Lin Xingchen finally had a person in his mind. In Lin Xingchen's opinion, singing this song with her singing skills shouldn't be much of a problem! Stylistically, it should also fit!
took out the artist number stored in the mobile phone, and saw the mobile phone number changed with the other party, Lin Xingchen quickly broadcast it. Not long after, a somewhat surprised voice came from the other side: "Hello, that one?" ”
From this slightly vigilant voice, Lin Xingchen said a little helplessly: "Bibi, it seems that you didn't save my number!" Hello, I'm Lin Xingchen, the one at the Chinese Festival a year ago, I don't know if you still have an impression? ”
Soon, the other party still said in surprise: "Ah! Mr. Lin, I'm very sorry. Hello! May I ask Mr. Lin to call me, is there anything good to take care of me? Your work this year is still the first masterpiece! ”
Listening to the other party's words, Lin Xingchen smiled and said, "What? You're going to release an album again? As far as I know, your company shouldn't have invited me to sing! However, when I called you today, I also wanted to ask for your help. ”
'Mr. Lin, please speak! ’
finished the theme song of 'Love Apartment' and wanted to invite her to sing. The other party said happily, "OK, no problem!" I'll just talk to my agent about this, and if it's fast, I'll be able to come over tomorrow. ”
'Thank you, there's no need to rush so much! In connection with this cooperation, I will ask my company to send a contract to your company. Of course, it's certainly not good to help for free. If you don't dislike it, then we'll exchange songs for songs.
Since you're going to release an album, I'll write you a song then, so I don't know if it's okay or not. But this song, if you like it, then helping to record the theme song this time is considered a friendship support. The song I wrote for you is also considered a friendship sponsorship, how about it? ’
When talking to the other party on the phone, Lin Xingchen just thought of a famous song of the other party. Calculating the time, it was almost launched around the end of the year. So, the chances of a crash should not be much if you write it out now.
'Ahh Mr. Lin, there is no need for this. Your song, that's not a good thing to say! Okay, I'll discuss this with the company. If it is confirmed, I will call Mr. Lin then. ’
'Okay, we'll get back in touch then!' ’
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xingchen also understood that his status in the music industry at this moment was undoubtedly much higher than last year. The company opened some time ago, and the cheers of those singers are enough to explain this matter.
Lin Xingchen instructed the staff to send invitations to the female singer's agency. Let me explain the recording of the theme song of the TV series. As for the corresponding costs, there is no problem in negotiating at that time.
As far as Lin Xingchen is concerned, if he asks the other party to help record an opening song, he will give away a song that can sell at least 50,000 to 100,000 yuan. As long as the other agency's brain is not stupid, they all know what choice they should make.
The female singer invited by Lin Xingchen is also from a supergirl like Zhang Liangying. Even in the ranking of the competition, he is one Zhou Bibi higher than Zhang Liangying. And her short and concise hair is also loved by many fans.
Looking at the invitation contract sent, Zhou Bibi, who was already resting in the company, also knew that the phone call just now was not someone pretending. Besides, Lin Xingchen's call is indeed her private mobile phone number!
'Sister MSG, I'm not lying! ’
With this invitation fax, Huang Weiqing, who is Zhou Bibi's agent, also smiled and said: "Okay, I just think, how can this Lin Xingchen sing with you in a good manner?" As far as I know, his singing skills seem to be pretty good! ”
'Sister MSG, didn't I just say that? The opening song of his TV series is looking for a female singer. Listen to what he means, the style of the song is more compatible with me. But what does this collaboration say? ’
For Zhou Bibi, compared with the fee for recording a song, she values the songs that Lin Xingchen promised to write for her. After all, as a singer, it is not easy to survive in the circle if you are too short-sighted!
'You wait and call him back, and we'll go to Mingzhu tomorrow!' It won't take long to record a song. As for friendship and help, or how to cooperate. We'll talk about that then! ’
As an artist agent, Huang Weiqing is also not short-sighted. In her opinion, now that Lin Xingchen is in the Chinese-speaking circle, most of the singers who can invite him to help write songs are some big-name singers!
What's more, Lin Xingchen also has his own film and television company. This TV series, which requires Zhou Bibi's help to record the opening song, is Lin Xingchen's company's first self-made drama, and the quality will not be too bad.
Singing the opening song of this kind of TV series may be a good opportunity for Zhou Bibi. But how to cooperate, we have to wait for Mingzhu to talk. After all, there are some business procedures that still need to be followed!
asked the company staff to book a ticket to Mingzhu tomorrow, and Huang Weiqing asked Zhou Bibi to call Lin Xingchen back. In the final analysis, whether they are invited over, they still need Lin Xingchen's help to arrange food, accommodation and car dealership.
After receiving a call from Zhou Bibi, Lin Xingchen said with a smile: "Okay, I will arrange someone to pick me up at the airport tomorrow." Then we'll meet and talk later! ”
'Yes, Mr. Lin! ’
Even if the debut time is earlier, it is earlier than Lin Xingchen. can have a status in the entertainment industry, Zhou Bibi is still similar to Lin Xingchen. Of course, if you simply talk about popularity and the number of fans, Lin Xingchen is still inferior to Zhou Bibi.
It's just that in the entertainment industry, some people are not famous and have no fans, but they may not have status! Lin Xingchen, for example, is the most obvious example. has status and fame in the entertainment industry, but may not be popular in the eyes of the public! (To be continued......)
