Chapter 422: Are You Free at Night?

Sean agreed to Frederick's request and gave the script to Vladimir to prepare for the project, despite his repeated pickiness.

"This script is indeed too bland, there is almost nothing ****." He once said so.

"Except for the last part of the little girl, the inspirational feeling is not very good? Even so, it's simple. He said the same thing.

"That crew dares to let teenage actors go on stage to do a striptease? Even if it's not really undressing. He said so.

However, in the end, Sean agreed to discuss it with Vladimir and set up the project, because his intuition told him that the script should be good. However, Frederick also said that Reincarnation Pictures must also have conditions if it wants to invest, from actors to directors to various prop masters and lighting engineers, they must use Endeavor customers.

It's kind of like a CAA invention of packaging — well, that's how it was packaged and sold, and Frederick made it clear that it couldn't be changed just because Sean was a valued customer of Endeavor. Of course, he said it more subtlely, sounding like Endeavor wanted it best, but Sean knew what he meant.

He still agreed, because he felt that there should be no problem, and his agent was right before, when he asked for the script of "Juno", Endeavor agreed very happily, and did not mention this condition, but hoped to give priority to Endeavor customers - this hope is sincere.

In that case, and the previous cooperation was not bad, it was no problem to agree, isn't it?

I have to say that although Frederick likes to see the needles like this, it did make Sean improve his mood again, and it is needless to say how much a good script has helped the development of Reincarnation Pictures. Of course, there are also people who say that having a job can be a better diversion to distraction, so when the music studio wanted him to continue to release new singles, Sean went over and talked to them.

"No, no, no, I'm not being harsh, but these songs are ...... No, rather, it doesn't resonate with me. In the studio, Sean talked to the producer about a few of the songs he received, "You know, I'm not a professional singer, I can't compare to the guys who can express themselves on stage, so the songs have to be simple and catchy." ”

"Yes, but aren't these songs appropriate?" The music producer was visibly distressed.

"As I said, none of them resonate with me." Sean spread his hands and was helpless.

After "YouRaiseMeUp" and "BeWhatyouWannaBe", he also released two more songs, but unfortunately the market response was not very good. One of them barely made it into the top 10 on Billboard and dropped a week later, and the other had a solid performance but kept spinning in the middle of the stream.

"Obviously, Sean can't find his own position, it's normal, every singer who has become popular, after the initial wonderful past, will have such doubts, although Sean has made a lot of achievements in movies, but he is always a newcomer in music, if he can't make effective changes, then he should give up music." This is the evaluation of "Rolling Stone" magazine, and they have a little kindness, but nothing else is so polite.

"As someone once said, music isn't for you, so go back and focus on making movies, Sean." The equally well-known music magazine "Trill" is very mean.

As for music fans, those who have become die-hard because of "YouRaiseMeUp" and "BeWhatyouWannaBe" are naturally applauded, for them, as long as it is a song by someone they like, they should be supported, and although those two songs are not very good, they are not so bad.

But those who liked Sean because he liked his movies and then listened to his songs, and those who were not so die-hard and just thought the songs were good, thought that these two songs did not reflect the level they should have at all, and some of the people who didn't like it at all, whether they liked his movies or didn't like his movies, clamored for him to focus on movies and give up music.

So, if Sean still wants to make a difference in music, then it is necessary to come up with a good song as soon as possible.

"I think maybe we can change our thinking." Previously collaborated with Sean, made a name for himself in the industry for arranging the music for "YouRaiseMeUp", and finally signed a contract with the studio, and now continues to work with Sean's arranger Will? DeLong said at this time.

"Do you have any good opinions?" The producer immediately asked.

"Quite simply, we all know that Sean's famous song is an Irish ballad adaptation of "Danny Boy", so why don't you continue to work on this? Find some classic old songs to rearrange and write lyrics, maybe it will work wonders. Delon said.

"What do you think, Sean?" The producer didn't take a stand, but looked at Sean.

"Then let's try it." After thinking about it for a few seconds, Sean nodded in agreement.

No way, although he can play the guitar, he can neither write lyrics nor compose music, so he can only rely on collecting songs everywhere, and singers with slightly red dots will find a way to write them themselves. It's not ten years ago now, as long as it's popular, there will be a steady stream of good songs to send up, and the interest in online music has lowered the door bar of music, and it has also impacted the profits of music, so now singers are trying their best to add their names to the lyrics.

Because, as a songwriter, you can also sign in the producer's column, and with this signature, you can get a share of the profits of the music, in this case, it is natural that most of the good songs are reserved for yourself or your friends.

If he could, Sean would have liked to give up music, he had released the song to have some fun, but the song happened to be particularly appropriate to 911, and he took this opportunity to erect his charity image, so it became so popular. "YouRaiseMeUp" not only broke the record for the longest time Billboard held the top 100 chart, but also the record for the top 100 and the entire chart, not to mention the next two Grammys.

At this point, even if Sean wants to quit, it's impossible, it's very simple, after this "YouRaiseMeUp" and "BeWhatyouWannaBe" can't even come up with a decent song, what will the recording academy think? What will fans think? What do those in the music industry think?

Therefore, even if it is just to avoid being talked about by others, Sean must have a high-quality song, but unfortunately he has not received much during this time.

After discussing it with them in the studio, Sean immediately went to New York, which was not rushed, and DeLong's proposal could also be considered, since Zhou had a successful adaptation of "Danny Boy" before, he might be able to do it now. As for what to do in New York, it is because the TV drama exhibition arranged in early to mid-May every year is about to start again, and the headquarters of several major TV stations are in Manhattan, so the exhibition is often held here.

"Several have been negotiated, and the prices are all very good, mainly because you are here." After returning to his booth from outside, Vladimir said.

"I've gotten this famous?" Sean asked, half-jokingly.

"Of course, it is a well-known fact that you think that TV series are good, and the ratings are very good. And, even if the advertisers don't believe it, the folks at FOX will make them believe it. Vladimir shrugged his shoulders and looked at the poster erected at their booth, "The only problem is that some people think the taste is a bit heavy." ”

"It's normal, after all, there are constantly all kinds of skeletons and bones from beginning to end, which does make some people feel uncomfortable," Sean also shrugged his shoulders and looked at the poster, there were several skulls on a row of shelves, and the hero and heroine were posing behind the shelves.

Yes, the TV series that participated in the exhibition this time is the one that sells a fox, adapted from the female forensic doctor Kath? Lex's novel, renamed "Bone Search" detective TV series.

"But in terms of plot, it shouldn't be too bad, right? During the trial broadcast, many people praised the method of peeling off the cocoon to unravel the truth. Sean then added, "But we'll have to put some thought into the poster, and the one on the booth isn't suitable for the outside." ”

"Of course, of course, now it's time to see the ratings of the premiere." Vladimir laughed, and Sean just shook his head.

Although it is a well-known fact that "you think a good TV series has good ratings", this TV series was handled by Vladimir from beginning to end, and Sean was only pulled to the booth. Of course, after watching the pilot episode, he felt that this TV series was not bad.

Anyway, this is produced by the TV department of Samsara Pictures, and he, as the boss, has the obligation to come over to help promote it, and at the same time, he can continue to improve his mood, and in addition to these, there is another important reason for him to come to New York.

"Okay, it's almost time, I'll go first." After chatting with Vladimir for a while, Sean looked at the time and looked around, some of the exhibition spaces had begun to be cleaned up, and the hall was much less crowded than it was more than an hour ago.

Although the TV show is lively, it is still a lot inferior to the comic con, and when I participated in the San Diego Comic-Con before, there were still people everywhere at the end of the day, or the enthusiasm of otaku was greater than that of people who liked TV dramas? But then again, TV exhibitions are relatively professional, mainly for various advertisers, not everyone can come in and participate, and it is normal that the scene is not as popular as Comic-Con.

After greeting the person in charge of the booth in turn, Sean did not go out for the first time, but went straight to the small round table at the edge of the booth, where several main creators were sitting and laughing.

"Hey, how are you, guys." Sean teased them a few words at first, and then looked directly at the person who played the heroine in the TV series.

"Free for the evening, Emily?" He asked very directly, not at all dragging his feet, making the eyes of the people around him widen.

However, what was even more surprising was that Emily blinked her eyes and agreed directly as well: "Of course! ”
