Chapter Seventy-Three: The Theme Song of the Movie
"Mr. Xiao Du, you said you could help me write a batch of nostalgic songs in a short period of time?"
"Yes."
Seeing that Fang Yajun was interested, Du Xinghe also extended the topic and said: "Actually, Miss Yajun, you don't have to sing nostalgic songs when you come back this time. I've heard that you're preparing to buy the rights to old songs from the past, and you're going to make a collection of new songs and old songs. In my opinion, there is no need for this at all. Although it is said that in today's music scene, the trend of the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves is obvious, but with Miss Yajun's popularity and status, as long as you come back, it will definitely be the level of the top star. No matter what song you sing, fans will still buy your account. ”
"Yes, yes! Miss Yajun, die-hard fans like us, we will buy any album you release! ”
"Instead of releasing a mix of new songs and old songs, you might as well come up with a new album that reshapes your image in the hearts of your fans, which is more beneficial to your future development."
Fang Yajun had already considered this suggestion put forward by Du Xinghe, and had also discussed it with her team and Chen Xi, who had been privately collecting new songs that were more suitable for her.
But because of the suppression of the Big Four, the number of high-quality new songs they get is very small, and if they rush to release a new album, the result may not be better than a mix of old and new albums.
"Mr. Du, I will consider the suggestions you gave. In fact, I came here this time to invite you with a few new songs that are suitable for today's pop style and more suitable for me. I appreciate your talent and hope that we can have a deeper cooperation in the future. ”
"That's no problem, you're here in person, I'm happy to help. I'll be able to help you make a new song for me soon, and if you're satisfied, I hope you still consider signing us a record contract. ”
"This ...... I'll think about it. ”
"What do you have to think about! Don't get dizzy, okay! ”
Cheng Jiaren couldn't listen to it anymore, she was very worried that Fang Yajun, a diva who likes to come by temperament, would go the wrong way again.
"Sister Ren, you sit down first."
Fang Yajun stared at Cheng Jiaren unhappily.
Cheng Jiaren stared at it, and sat back in the chair with his breath.
Du Xinghe said to Cheng Jiaren: "Miss Cheng, you don't agree to sign Yajun's record contract to us Yun Shijie, are you worried about our ability to publicize and distribute?" No matter what I say about this, it is better to put the results on display for you to look forward to. Xu Nuo is releasing her debut single "I Am a Little Bird" this weekend. I believe that the sales of this single album will definitely dispel the doubts in the hearts of the two. ”
"It's funny, what can a single album prove?"
Cheng Jiaren always has this attitude, which makes Lin Jianguo very unhappy: "If it sells out, can't it prove our publicity ability!" Xu Nuoke is a newcomer! It's still a single album! If it sells out, it will prove that our publicity ability is very strong! ”
Cheng Jiaren glanced at Lin Jianguo and snorted coldly: "You guys should sell it out first." ”
Cheng Jiaren has been in contact with too many people, they can't see their strength clearly, so they will talk big words, and when the results come out, Zuihou will start to find all kinds of excuses to explain.
Du Xinghe, she can't say.
But Lin Jianguo, she can be very sure that she is a typical kind of person!
was said by Du Xinghe, Fang Yajun really saw what kind of results Xu Nuo's first single album would have.
If it can really sell out, it can indeed prove that the publicity and distribution ability of Yun Shijie and Hongyan Records is very strong.
She can also seriously consider Chen Xi's suggestion.
But today, she won't think too much about it.
She came today to finalize the copyright of "I Only Care About You".
Then Fang Yajun turned the topic back to the song "I Only Care About You".
I told Du Xinghe about my thoughts.
It turned out that Fang Yajun wanted to use this song as the theme song in a movie called "Small Town Story".
The director of this movie is Zhong Zhengyang, Du Xinghe has learned from entertainment magazines, and he is a super name in the film industry.
The status is close to that of Chen Kaige in the previous plane.
It is definitely an honor to use your own song as the theme song in such a big director's new work.
However, Du Xinghe has a responsible attitude towards his name, and he does not dare to casually sell his songs into movies as the theme song.
Especially this director Zhong Zhengyang.
In case he makes a bloody case like the previous plane "No Chicken" caused by a steamed bun.
The lyrics that appear in the theme song in the end credits are Du Xinghe.
That would be a shame!
"I can sell the film and television rights of "I Only Care About You", but the premise is that I want to figure out what kind of movie to sell it to as the theme song. Also, you have to tell me that this movie weishenme chose this song as the theme song. If I think it's all right, I'll sell it. ”
Cheng Jiaren listened to Du Xinghe's request, and he was going crazy!
"This is Zhong Zhengyang's movie! Director Zhong, you know who it is, right? ”
"You know, the top five directors in China."
"Now that you know, what else to pick! This is a great opportunity to make you famous! If Director Zhong hadn't appreciated Yajun, it would have been impossible for your song to be used in such a big director's movie! If others want to have this kind of opportunity, they will send the song to the money, and you even negotiate terms with us? ”
Lin Jianguo implied agreement with what Cheng Jiaren said, and hurriedly stole Du Xinghe with his elbow, signaling that this was really a good opportunity! Stop talking nonsense, let's settle down!
Du Xinghe was unmoved, took a sip of tea with a smile, put the teacup back on the table, and said to Cheng Jiaren: "Miss Cheng, I really wanted to sell this song to you as the theme song of the movie." But now that I'm hearing you say that, I'm going to have to think about it a little more. If my song is very suitable for this movie, then I am responsible for myself and the movie when I sell it, and I will definitely do the best of both worlds. But now listening to what you said, Director Zhong just appreciates Miss Yajun, so he wants to choose this song as the theme song. Then I feel a little unreliable about this. The theme song of the movie plays the role of the finishing touch to the movie as a whole. Director Zhong, based only on his own personal preferences, gave the theme song of the movie, and this kind of behavior is completely irresponsible for his own movie. For such a director, I don't dare to give him the song. ”
Du Xinghe's words surprised the three people, including Lin Jianguo!
This guy dares to criticize the famous director Zhong Zhengyang in the film industry, and he is self-righteous!
Cheng Jiaren almost took the big brother in his hand to smash Du Xinghe when he heard it!
In her eyes, this child is completely a shrimp with, and she really doesn't know her fragrance and smell!
Lin Jianguo also felt that what Du Xinghe said was too much, and hurriedly played a round: "Don't mind, we two always do things, sometimes we are too serious and responsible, so we will say some inexplicable words." Actually, that's not what he thinks in his heart. ”
"Don't explain to me, that's what I thought in my heart. If I don't think the film is appropriate, I definitely won't sell the rights to use the song. This not only harms me, but also harms the filmmaker, and may even harm Miss Yajun, who is about to make a comeback. ”
"I appreciate your responsible attitude, if it were me, I wouldn't just go to a movie and sing the theme song."
Fang Yajun admires Du Xinghe's serious attitude towards music.
Later, she recommended this song Weishenme to Zhong Zhengyang, and what Zhong Zhengyang's movie was about, and talked to Du Xinghe.
In this plane, in the spring of 1966, after the death of the founding monarch Zhang Bin, the dictatorship of the Zhang family over the country became stormy for a while.
In the following decade or so, many large-scale ideological movements broke out in society in order to break the rule of the Zhang family over the country.
This effort continued until the early eighties, when a phased victory was achieved.
After that, the society has undergone relatively big changes.
Everyone's life, as well as their ideological values, have undergone tremendous changes in the course of this historical tide.
Director Zhong Zhengyang's "Story of a Small Town" tells the story of the heroes and heroines in a small city in the mid-80s, who worked hard and fell in love with each other in a drastic society.
The theme of the movie is very nostalgic.
It's aiqing, it's history, and it's fate.
In the end, after splitting and merging a few times, the hero and heroine failed to come together because of the growing difference in values.
In a sense, this film can be listed as a big drama with a small view.
When Zhong Zhengyang first saw this script, the theme song was Fang Yajun's "The Long Story", and the name of the movie was also "The Long Story".
In those days, every young man listened to "The Long Story", and the hero and heroine in this movie fought and fell in love listening to this song.
Because the copyright of this song was in the hands of BV, Zhong Zhengyang asked the filmmaker and BV to discuss the right to use the film and television of this song at that time.
BV knew that Fang Yajun was going to make a comeback, so he deliberately did not sell the right to use this song, and sealed all Fang Yajun's songs, and did not allow Fang Yajun's voice to appear in any film and television works.
As a result, the filmmaker couldn't talk about it, and he didn't buy the outrageously high-priced BV, obviously trying to kill Fang Yajun.
This is enough for Zhong Zhengyang's energy!
This director also has a temper.
Didn't BV deliberately press Fang Yajun?
Then he has to use Fang Yajun's song!
I really like this script, Zhong Zhengyang Zuihou was flexible, not using "The Long Story" as the theme song, but directly looking for Fang Yajun to invite the song, hoping to get a very nostalgic song that reminds people of that era as soon as they listen to it, to connect the story.
Fang Yajun is very grateful to Zhong Zhengyang for his good intentions, and also regards this as a very good publicity opportunity for his comeback, and he has been choosing this song carefully during this time.
It wasn't until he heard "I Only Care About You" that Fang Yajun was finally satisfied.
That's when I came to finalize the right to use this song with Du Xinghe.
After Du Xinghe heard Fang Yajun's reasoning, he drank tea and pondered for a moment.
Then said: ""I Only Care About You" is too profound and too affectionate, and it is not suitable for Director Zhong's film from shallow to deep, from small to big. After all, the film is not a happy ending. ”
Raising his eyes, Du Xinghe looked at Fang Yajun and said, "I have composed a more haode song in my heart to be the theme song of this film." I'll write it now, and you can listen to see if this song is more appropriate. ”
