Chapter 27: Water Reversal: If you really can't do it, you can still lie flat and rot
Li Lecheng is not the person Wang Tianlin and they took the initiative to take the initiative to, so naturally they will not "treat him" too much.
But he is the person that Teddy Robin personally took the initiative to see, and Teddy Robin couldn't help but say that he would be the number one male in the movie in his last life, and he was naturally optimistic about him in this life.
Especially after filming "The Emperor of Part-time Jobs", a few minutes of drama made Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng like him very much, and Teddy Robin was even more optimistic about him. If he hadn't had no suitable role last time, and he wasn't a producer, he would have arranged Li Lecheng a long time ago.
"The Emperor of Part-time Jobs" has been filmed for half a month, and in this half month, Xu Ke and they are all busy in the post-production, and as soon as the first editing is done, he pulls Teddy Robin to watch the film.
Teddy Robin is in charge of the soundtrack.
"Here!"
"Here!"
"And here! …… All need to add music! ”
"Ah Sam wrote two songs, which were released at the same time as the movie......"
Teddy Robin got the soundtrack in order, and went back to write the tune slowly.
The two of them smoked cigars for a while and chatted for a while, Xu Ke suddenly said: "Have you noticed, the bandboy A Lok you introduced, is really good to play, it's too eye-catching, I asked Nansheng for her opinion before, she thinks that the box office is almost between 15 million and 17 million, and after watching it personally, she thinks that only the scene in the boxing gym has a deep memory." Then there is the beautiful heroine and the sunny beautiful girl. I also think that Sam is not as attractive as it used to be. Especially with the pheromone transmitter you recommended, the Alok...... And he always feels that his love scene with the heroine is very wrong. ”
Teddy Robin locked his eyebrows: "Less than 17 million...... Last year's box office of less than 18 million couldn't enter the top ten of the year! Fortunately, the cost is only three or four million, and the second play of your personal studio has already made a lot of money. But Sam's generally doesn't make the top three. This...... Hey, it seems that the Xu brothers are really no longer box office elixirs, his brother has prospered and declined, and he has begun to struggle...... Now they all like to praise younger students. Zhiwei is also a fierce eye, three or four years ago, as soon as Alam rejuvenated, he immediately signed his film contract into New One City, we picked up a big bargain, and now Alan has a lot of momentum to replace him......"
"What? Do you also have considerations? Do you want to sign your Alok to New One City? Xu Ke's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "New Yicheng focuses on comedy, he plays comedy very well, but his appearance doesn't look very friendly and likable......"
Teddy Robin scolded with a smile: "I'm the same as you, I don't have any shares in New One City, and I also like to take errands from outside companies, what am I doing when I interfere with the personnel of New One City?" I have never interfered with who the company signs or not. I helped him just to see that he was very good, and he didn't have much other thoughts. Don't worry, I won't rob you of people, anyway, when I need it, it's not a matter of minutes for you to lend someone to me, after all, it's still a family. ”
"I'm sorry, but I just talked about a phone call for a long time." Shi Nansheng came in from outside, and just happened to hear the second half of Teddy Robin's words, "You said you wanted to borrow someone just now?" Who to borrow? ”
"Ah, Lok! Don't you praise him? Teddy Robin asked.
Shi Nansheng smiled bitterly: "I was about to talk about this, we really wanted to sign him, and he could act and write songs and soundtracks." I was calling him out to talk, and he told me he was going to Shaw. ”
“???”
“???”
I can understand every word, but it has a few meanings!
Xu Ke exclaimed: "Isn't Shaw Brothers discontinued?" “
Shi Nansheng said again: "So Shaw Brothers doesn't care about him taking on foreign dramas, and he doesn't even pump water." If you want him to film, you just need to talk to him, welcome to find him. ”
After speaking, the three of them looked at each other: something strange happened.
Teddy Robin asked Xu Ke, "Do you have a play to give him a role?" ”
"Not at the moment. What about you? ”
"Neither do I."
……
may have been in the water reversal recently, Li Lecheng just changed from 100,000 to 20,000 here, and Chen Huixian's agent Zhao Yunqing called him over for coffee again.
Zhao Yunqing looked at him with a little flattery: "Let's talk first, and then discuss the album with the music department of Universal Music after chatting......"
As soon as Li Lecheng saw him like this, he knew that there was a ghost in his heart: "If you have something to say!" ”
"Well, that's it, I think ......" The other party organized the language with difficulty: "Now that the single of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is selling very well, Universal wants to strike while the iron is hot and release a new album in mid-August, it would be great if it was you who produced it, but - then you will have to get along for 2 months...... Among the younger generation of female singers, Anita Mui is currently the most popular with her, and she is not yet 20 years old! Promising! You ......"
"Nothing! Why are you so nervous! Li Lecheng guessed what he wanted to say and stopped: "Lao Zhao, will you be too protective?" ”
"The showbiz is so messy! She's a little silly, and you can't feel it! It's stupid. ”
He smiled wryly, "I was originally an advertising scout, and I dug Zhang Manyu and Zhong Chuhong, but their subsequent development has nothing to do with me, only Priscilla was personally brought by me after I personally excavated it, and her voice is really good, so I set up a music production company for this."
I have an intuition that she will definitely be able to become a diva singer of Xu Xiaofeng's level. But I don't actually have any money, if it weren't for the big sale of "A Thousand Thousand Que Songs", I would have been unable to hold on, and I was ready to cut the music production business and only be her agent...... Universal was willing to ask us, and I begged desperately that if this album didn't succeed, we still couldn't escape the fate of shutting down music production. ”
Although Chen Huixian's album is released worldwide, and she is also playing the global sign to face the market, her record contract and agency contract are actually in Zhao Yunqing's music production company.
A music production company is like a production company in a movie, and a record label is like a producer and distributor in a movie.
Record companies naturally have the ability to produce music, just like companies that can distribute movies, they can often make their own movies, but music production companies usually don't have the ability to distribute, and what they can do is basically stop at the step of recording songs.
There are so many small music production companies in Hong Kong Island, and most of the record companies and retail companies have taken away the majority of the record shares, so naturally they can only drink some soup, and the risk is often borne the most by them, and it is normal for them to be financially constrained.
Li Lecheng heard that something was wrong: "What if it succeeds?" Priscilla is so popular now, it shouldn't be possible that the new album will not sell badly, right? ”
Zhao Yunqing choked: "The problem is here, Universal is now dragging its feet and not letting us start making a new album for Priscilla, and they offer to buy Priscilla's record contract and agency contract from me." I didn't agree, I took her with me. But how long has the single "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" been released, and they haven't paid me back yet. I...... I'm either going to take the money and get her out, or I'm going to wait for the company to go out of business. ”
Li Lecheng understood: "Are you worried that if you don't agree, even if you record the album, they will hold it back?" And will it drag the payment? ”
Zhao Yanqing smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, we are too weak." Sorry, I'm afraid I can't ask you to be the producer of Priscilla's new album. ”
Li Lecheng wondered: "The high-level people we contacted over there are very good, they won't do this kind of thing, right?" Are you overthinking yourself? ”
"It's a big company, it's complicated inside, and it's a good person who helped me at the beginning, but ...... Alas! ”
Li Lecheng was silent.
Zhao Yunqing's words, he was skeptical.
But he believes that Zhao Yunqing is really good for Chen Huixian, otherwise he would not have protected her like this for decades, allowing her to go in and out of the music scene.
"It seems that there is still no fate for cooperation. I understand. Li Lecheng nodded and glanced at him: "The old hen guards you like this, and she is careful that she can't grow strong mentally." That one...... If you do leave Universal in the future, I recommend you to contact PolyGram's music producer, Ou Dingyu. ”
Zhao Yunqing's face wiped a trace of unnatural shame.
Li Lecheng didn't want to delve into it, he originally wanted to sell songs to them and make 50,000 quick money, although it was impossible to really give him a song at a price as high as 10,000, when it was all "Thousand Thousand Que Songs", but the whole album was included, how could there be so much, right?
Unexpectedly, he would not even be given a chance to sell in tears.
What should I do?!
Urgent!
Poor!
Who's going to save him?!
This, isn't this forcing him to mess up?!
