After returning to the crew to shoot a day's scenes, Han Jin also wrote two songs for Xu Ke "The Working Emperor", one is the lyrical song "-of-us", and the other is the hot rock "Shoot-is-my-private n".
Seeing that he was not idle in the gap between filming, and was still working there, Zeta-Jones couldn't help but be very curious, "Jin, what are you writing while sitting here?" ”
"Oh, you're writing the theme song for a movie." Han Jin said with a smile.
"Really, can you let me take a look at it first?" Zeta-Jones was surprised to ask, she hadn't seen a songwriter write it yet.
"Okay, this is a copy of "-of-us" that I just wrote, you can take a look and give some comments." Han Jin smiled and handed her the written song.
Zeta-Jones took it in surprise, then looked at it carefully, and began to hum along to the score as she watched. Zeta-Jones has been a member of the choir since she was a child and is also highly accomplished in singing. If she hadn't met Han Jin, she would have worked in an opera company in the UK first, and slowly became famous with her high dancing posture and sweet singing voice.
So now the stave written on the paper is not difficult for her at all, and Zeta-Jones can easily hum the whole song according to the score.
"-of-us", once won the British Gold List. The beautiful melody and touching lyrics earned it a nomination for Best Pop Single at the BRIT Awards in 2oo3. It can be said to be a classic song that has been tested by the market. Now it was born 20 years ahead of schedule, and it still does not change its classic nature.
After Zeta Jones finished singing, she couldn't help but light up in her eyes. She herself has specialized in vocal music. And he is also a member of the choir, so he can naturally distinguish between good and bad songs.
This "-of-us" can be called a good song from any point of view. The catchy melodies and touching lyrics are enough to make people love each other.
"Wow, Jin, this is really a good song." Zeta-Jones looked at Han Jin. Said with admiration.
Before Han Jin told her that she was a singer, she still seemed to believe it or not. But now seeing the songs he wrote himself, Zeta-Jones also had to believe it.
Han Jin smiled, "Thank you, what." Think this song is okay! ”
"Absolutely, it's great." Zeta-Jones clapped her hands and said, "Jin, you're amazing. ”
Her startled appearance attracted Zhong Chuhong and the others.
"Ah Jin, what's the matter, what is Catherine excited about?" Zhong Chuhong asked curiously.
Before Han Jin could speak, Zeta-Jones held up Han Jin's song, "Look." This is a new song that Jin just wrote, and it's so good. ”
"Oh?!" Hearing her shout, many people suddenly came over curiously.
Everyone took turns watching it. Regardless of whether they understand it or not, they are full of praise one by one.
Han Jin's songs, an average of 750,000 Hong Kong dollars per song. Don't look at this thin piece of paper, it's much more expensive than a check.
"Wow!" Everyone was careful when circulating it, lest they accidentally tear up such a valuable song.
"Strength. How did you do it, the songs you wrote are really good. Zeta-Jones asked curiously. She hadn't met a real songwriter. So I really don't know how they created it. But she knows how much a good song is worth in the UK, at least a million pounds.
Zeta-Jones doesn't have a million pounds now, she can't even take out a million pounds. Therefore, she really admires Han Jin, who can write songs and make money. Because he doesn't write songs, he writes money! He is simply a humanoid money printing machine, and with a wave of the pen in his hand, the banknotes come with a bang.
Zeta-Jones had heard Han Jin's "1ast-as" and knew that it was a big hit in the UK, and although the sales were not high, the broadcast rate on the radio was very high.
The UK is different from Hong Kong, RTHK generally does not need to pay for the songs, and the record company wants them to promote it before it is too late, how dare they ask them for copyright fees?! But in the UK, when a song is played on the radio, you need to pay a royalty.
Han Jin's "1ast-as" was broadcast on major radio stations in the UK during Christmas, and he was awarded 300,000 pounds in copyright fees. It's still just a year's cost, and as expected, the song will be played on the radio on a rotating basis next Christmas.
You must know that "1ast-as" is one of the must-play songs for Christmas in Europe and the United States, along with Christmas songs such as "Jingle Bells" and "1et-it-sno".
"It's just 0.1 percent talent, plus 99.9 percent diligence." Han Jin said with a smile.;
Zeta-Jones couldn't help but laugh happily when he heard him say this.
She was originally a rare beauty, but now she is even more smiling, which made many men present dumbfounded.
Han Jin was the only exception, he took the song back, "Brother Jing, Brother Jing, I'm going to leave a little early in the afternoon and send these two songs to Director Xu." ”
"Oh~Good!" Wang Jing was also fascinated by Zeta Jones's coquettishness, so that Han Jin shouted several times before he woke up, and couldn't help but respond in embarrassment.
Zhong Chuhong saw these men staring at Zeta Jones's pig brother on the side, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdain in his heart. Seeing that Han Jin was not moved by Zeta-Jones's charm at all, and could still maintain a normal heart, he couldn't help but like him more and more.
"In the end, it's Ah Jin, but he is not moved by women." She thought happily. thought that even Guan Zhilin, a famous beauty, wanted to seduce him, but he ignored him. Now this foreign girl didn't touch his heart, which made Zhong Chuhong can't help but trust Han Jin more.
"Uh-huh! All right. There's nothing to see anymore, so I'm back to work. Wang Jing coughed vigorously. He knew that this foreign girl was already Han Jin's prey, if others wanted to get involved. I really have to see if my fists are hard enough.
……
In the afternoon, Han Jin left the set early, and then drove to Xu Ke's studio.
As soon as he entered his studio, Han Jin was surprised to see Lin Qingxia, a person he had long wanted to see, but he had always been averse to.
Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng were originally chatting with Lin Qingxia, but as soon as they saw Han Jin, they immediately greeted them with a smile.
Lin Qingxia was originally sitting with her back to Han Jin. Suddenly seeing Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng standing up, she couldn't help but turn her head in confusion. Then I saw Han Jinzheng walking over with a smile.
"Huh, it's him?!" Lin Qingxia couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Han Jin.
Although she has never met Han Jin, she has been famous for a long time.
She also knew that Han Jin's debut had only been two or three years, but the achievements he had achieved could not even catch up with her, a senior who had debuted for more than ten years. It's really quite a powerful character.
Especially her friend Deng Lijun often mentions him, and once planned to introduce the two to each other, but she always missed the opportunity, but she didn't expect to meet here now.
"Ah Jin, welcome, welcome, you are really a rare guest." Xu Ke said with a smile.
Han Jin also smiled, "Director Xu is blaming me, then I'll go back and walk around more diligently." When the time comes, just in case you see the talent of your film studio. I'm going to dig into the corners of the wall. ”
"That's still it~" Xu Ke hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, "Your Yongsheng Entertainment Company has a lot of money, and I must not be able to compare with the funds." When the time comes, you will launch the 'Golden Yuan Offensive'. Then haven't all the people in my studio been looted by you? ”
Han Jin also smiled, knowing that Xu Ke's film studio, in addition to their husband and wife being the absolute core, the most valuable thing was his group of special effects personnel.
Xu Ke has always been a "technical controller", and he likes to use gorgeous special effects most in movies, which has been since he made his first film "Butterfly Change". The signs are already emerging. The real and fake butterflies flying all over the sky create a beautiful and magnificent style for the film. After the release, it won a lot of praise, and it also made Xu Ke embark on the road of no return to "technical control".
In the filming of "Shushan" in 83, he specially invited the "Star Wars" special effects team from the United States to make special effects for the film, and sent many Hong Kong people to help.
This group of special effects personnel learned a lot from their American counterparts and became the first generation of special effects personnel in Hong Kong. Xu Ke knew their preciousness, so after setting up his own film studio, he also specially brought them out. And I funded them myself, so that they could continue to do special effects research.
Engaging in special effects is a very money-burning thing, even if the American market is so large and so many films are released every year, but special effects companies still can't make ends meet, and there are very few special effects companies that can make money.
, the world's most famous special effects film company Industrial Light & Magic, has also continued to lose money since its establishment, and the dividends of "Star Wars" have been subsidized to barely maintain the company's operations.
And the "digital field" companies that participated in the production of special effects such as "Titanic", "Transformers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are also facing the pressure of bankruptcy and reorganization.
Xu Ke is now also using the money earned by the film studio to supplement these special effects personnel, hoping that one day they will reach the world's advanced level and produce zuò visual effects for major film companies in Hong Kong.
But now it seems that this hope is still far away. Major film companies would rather spend more money to hire popular movie stars than spend too much money on behind-the-scenes production. The money he makes as special effects personnel is not as much as that of a second-tier movie star.
Even so, Xu Ke is still a broomstick, and when he heard Han Jin say that he was going to poach, he immediately became sensitive.
"Don't worry, I'm only interested in you and your wife, and if I want to dig into the corner, I will also dig you. As for your bunch of special effects baby bumps, I'm not interested, and I really can't afford to raise them. Han Jin waved his hand and smiled.
When Xu Ke heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile, "The two of us can offer a high price, and it can't be done without 10 million Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Okay, if you two really agree to go with me, don't say 10 million Hong Kong dollars, I'll give each of you 10 million Hong Kong dollars." Han Jin said with a smile.
Xu Keke is one of the most well-known filmmakers in Hong Kong, and the films he directs and produces are of high quality, even if the box office is so bad that "Shu Mountain" and "The Legend of Shu Mountain" still have merit. If he agrees to join Yongsheng Entertainment Company, Han Jin really does not hesitate to spend money.
Xu Ke heard Han Jin say this, and waved his hand, "Okay, no kidding, I know that you have a lot of money and are eager to seek talents." However, we have reached an agreement with Princess Jin, and it is okay for the two of us to borrow to make films, but it is absolutely impossible to change jobs. ”
Han Jin nodded, knowing that Lei Juekun was also a business bull, so he could naturally see Xu Ke's strength. So after he had a dirty relationship with the three big bosses of Xinyicheng, he paid for him to open a film studio, although he was affiliated with Xinyicheng, but he was the same as his own boss, and his power was no worse than that of the Big Three.
Lei Juekun is so important to him, which naturally makes Xu Ke grateful, the so-called "death for the confidant", although the old monster returned from studying in the United States and is quite Westernized, but he is a chivalrous heart in his bones. Therefore, in order to repay Lei Juekun, Xu Ke will not change his court.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Ah Jin, come, let me introduce you, this is Taiwan's first beauty, Miss Lin Qingxia. Shi Nansheng introduced with a smile. (To be continued)
