Chapter 126: God-level screenwriter
"I remember many years ago in the spring, when I hadn't cut my long hair.
No credit card and no her, no 24-hour hot water home.
But I was so happy at the beginning, even though I only had a broken acoustic guitar.
In the streets, under the bridges, in the fields, singing the songs that no one cares about.
If one day, I have nothing to rely on, please leave me behind, in that time.
If one day, I quietly leave, please bury me in this spring......"
This song "In the Spring" is actually quite in line with Xiao Ran's voice, he can keep it to himself, but Xiao Ran didn't do it.
On the stage of The Voice of China, in fact, after Xiao Ran watched Wu Zhen's performance for the first time, he felt that he saw the shadow of his past from Wu Zhen's body, and later Xiao Ran did find more than a dozen netizens on the Internet and put them on the video, with a time span of about ten years.
In other words, Wu Zhen said that he has sung on the street for fifteen years of history, which should be true, this kind of person who is firm in his dreams and only does one thing in his life to pursue his dreams, although he is very stupid and naïve, but it is also easy to move.
It is in this way that Xiao Ran handed over this song to Wu Zhen to interpret.
Because according to the current situation, Xiao Ran is just an eighteen-year-old boy, and Wu Zhen is a wandering singer who has been singing on the street for fifteen years, so it is obvious that Wu Zhen is a more suitable person to interpret this song.
This is the first point, and the second is that Xiao Ran appreciates Wu Zhen's attitude towards music very much, so when he has the ability and can also get benefits, Xiao Ran doesn't mind helping him.
Sure enough, a few days after the works recorded by the four mentors were well received on the Ethereal website and the number of paid downloads continued to rise, Wu Zhen also put his successful recording of "In the Spring" on the Ethereal network, which was still highly praised.
This song is full of memories and nostalgia for the past, as well as worries and thoughts about life, and it has a philosophical feeling, coupled with Wu Zhen's past experience of being exposed on The Voice, so it is easy to move people's hearts.
Without the Voice of China, a program that pays attention to the whole country, as a platform, and Wu Zhen's own popularity is not too high, the time for the accumulation of paid downloads of this song is relatively slow, but it still exceeded 10 million paid downloads within a week.
Xiao Ran also received more than six million in earnings, and at the same time, it also brought him one step closer to impacting the six-star creators.
Therefore, under the circumstance that he can benefit, Xiao Ran will never refuse to help others, and this kind of thing that benefits others and himself is something that everyone is willing to do.
Except for the songs written for the four mentors, plus Wu Zhen, a student who knew The Voice, a total of five people, the other people who knew The Voice had not sent video materials to Xiao Ran, so Xiao Ran naturally couldn't find the door to take the initiative to help others so boring, so he temporarily slowed down the journey of impacting the six-star music creator.
And because of the current downturn in the film market, Xiao Ran easily recruited a lot of professional film music producers and sound effects professionals through his Xingyi City Film Company.
But now Xiao Ran didn't start filming so many movies at the same time, so after these people were recruited, the work they started was temporarily unrelated to the movie.
That is to use their professionalism to help Xiao Ran find the best and most suitable voice from the tens of thousands of video materials uploaded to his account every day after Xiao Ran writes a song, and interpret Xiao Ran's new work.
Of course, if it is someone Xiao Ran is familiar with, and has the right voice and skill, you can enjoy the right of first choice.
This approach can allow Xiao Ran to temporarily take a break to do other things, but Xiao Ran is not worried that if he hands over his original songs to them for audition and review, it will cause theft and plagiarism.
Because in this regard, Huaxia's laws are very complete, Xiao Ran can become the legal owner of the new work as long as he finishes creating a work and passes it to the relevant departments for review and confirmation in his company's name!
If anyone dares to steal or plagiarize his work, the maximum penalty under Chinese law can exceed seven figures and imprisonment for more than seven years......
In this regard, the Chinese government is very supportive and protective of the original works of the entire literary and artistic circles, so no one no longer needs to worry that after their works are written, they will become golden roosters that will lay eggs in the hands of others!
……
Soon in late October, the martial arts movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu" written by Xiao Ran and directed by Xu Guangwen has also been released, and the total box office of this film has exceeded 450 million, breaking the box office record of domestic films.
And in Southeast Asia and island countries, it has also broken local box office records, and even in the North American market, it has temporarily ranked fourth in the annual box office!
It can be said that this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has been a bumper harvest in an all-round way, and has successfully set off a boom in the entire Chinese film industry to follow the trend of shooting martial arts movies.
It is extremely normal for a movie theme to be hot, and it is extremely normal to follow the trend, although Xiao Ran knows that such a situation is not a benign development of the film industry, but he is still powerless.
It's impossible for him to go to other people's crews and sets to stop others from following the trend of shooting martial arts movies, right? It is even more impossible to run to the investors and tell them that please don't overinvest in the same type of follow-up movies, otherwise you will lose all your money.
In fact, even if he says it, no one will pay attention to it, because the movie is a highly variable and extremely risky investment, and no one can be sure whether it will be profitable or losing in the end until the day it is released.
What's more, it is human nature to follow the trend, there are ready-made and successful types that can lead the way, naturally no one will take the road of innovation, because in fact, the risk of innovation is still very high, not to mention that as long as the film is made quickly and released quickly, it can still attract a lot of audiences, which is what many filmmakers, including investors, think.
What Xiao Ran can do is to make higher-quality martial arts movies, or turn to other types of movies!
After all, after "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has broken many box office records around the world, Xiao Ran has become the hottest god-level screenwriter in the entire industry.
The first condition for many investors to spend money to start making movies is to hope that Xiao Ran will be the screenwriter, and it will be a kung fu or martial arts movie!
This also made many directors and producers find Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran was unmoved, but when he met a director who had a solo battle, Xiao Ran would lobby the other party to join his Star Art City......
