Because Zhang Songnian corrected the details almost word by word, Li Xingruo easily completed the recording of the song "Red Bean" when the album was recorded the next day.

Li Xingruo's speed of adjusting his state made album producer Zong Weiyuan couldn't help but be amazed.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xingruo pulled Zhang Songnian to record the last song, but because Zhang Songnian was recording a song for the first time, he was somewhat restrained.

A song was recorded repeatedly for an afternoon before it was finally recorded, but fortunately, the final effect was still very good.

Zhang Songnian's voice is warm and sunny, while Li Xingruo's voice is more ethereal and full of emotion, and the voices of the two people together do not seem abrupt at all, but have a chemical reaction.

Zong Weiyuan didn't expect that Zhang Songnian could still sing, and he sang well, the most important thing is that Zhang Songnian actually has a very outstanding timbre in terms of timbre, which surprised him.

As a professional album producer, Zong Weiyuan knows very well in his heart that his singing skills can be slowly improved through practice, but the texture of the voice can only be said to be innate, in other words, in fact, Zhang Songnian can be regarded as the type of God who appreciates food.

After listening to the last version of the recorded song, Zong Weiyuan couldn't help but jokingly said to Zhang Songnian: "Mr. Zhang's voice condition, in fact, even if it is his debut, is it not impossible, should Mr. Zhang consider it?" ”

Although the performance was joking, Zong Weiyuan was actually seriously giving Zhang Songnian advice.

First-class lyrics, good voice talent, isn't this a natural singer, a proper king potential.

It's a pity that such a person doesn't make his debut.

Zhang Songnian smiled and shook his head: "Teacher Zong said that it was okay, I would accompany Xingruo to play, if I really let me debut, then I can't stand it." ”

Li Xingruo glanced at Zhang Songnian and did not speak.

Zong Weiyuan showed a more regretful look, "That's really a pity, the Chinese music scene in this era will have one less future king." ”

Zhang Songnian just smiled at this, and did not take over the stubble, but changed the topic and said: "Please ask Mr. Zong for the rest of the album production." ”

"Okay, I'll finish the post-album as soon as possible, and if nothing else, I'll be able to finish everything in a week." Zong Weiyuan seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "There is also the shooting of the MV, I originally planned to find a model or actor to be vague, but I think that in fact, the two of you are actually more photogenic, and if you use this point to exert force during the promotion, it is also a good plan, of course, I just suggest, you might as well consider it?" ”

After Zong Weiyuan's words fell, the two glanced at each other, and Li Xingruo's eyes were full of emotion.

And Zhang Songnian was slightly stunned, and an anime short film suddenly flashed in his mind, which seemed to fit the core of the song "Red Beans" very well.

Zhang Songnian immediately nodded and agreed: "Well, I just have such a story in my mind about the song "Red Bean", I thought about trying to make a short film, I will let the animation department lead the MV of this song when the time comes, of course, Mr. Zong's suggestion is also good, we can appear in that choral song, as for the shooting and production of the MV, it is still troublesome for Mr. Zong. ”

After hearing Zhang Songnian's words, Zong Weiyuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and say excitedly: "Oh? It would be great if Mr. Zhang could write the script in person! ”

As long as Jin Yu is a person, he knows how good Zhang Songnian is at script creation, basically as long as Zhang Songnian is basic, the final result of that project is basically not bad, and if Zhang Songnian can make an animated short film to make the MV, it will naturally be the best thing.

Zhang Songnian and Zong Weiyuan confirmed the shooting date of the MV, and after thanking Zong Weiyuan, they left the recording studio with Li Xingruo.

After going back, Zhang Songnian worked overtime that night, this short film is not long, there are not many character dialogues, the script is relatively short, and in one night, Zhang Songnian wrote the script.

The story of this short film happens to be similar to what Li Xingruo's title song "Red Beans" wants to express this time.

The title of this shop is Acacia, and it's about the earth. The love story of Jiaqing celebrity Wang Chutong and Fa Xiaoliu Niang's childhood sweetheart and red bean love but no chance to stay together.

This short film uses the token of red beans as an introduction, which just fits the song "Red Beans", and also confirms the lyrics in the lyrics, "Sometimes we get together and leave, nothing will be immortal".

When Zhang Songnian mentioned the concept of MV in Zong Weiyuan, he subconsciously thought of this short film.

After all, this short film left a very deep impression on Zhang Songnian at the beginning.

Because this short film is the winner of the Gold Award for Comprehensive Animated Short Film at the 15th China International Animation Festival, the whole story is about nine minutes, this short film does not have too much narration in the narrative, no cool 3D special effects, and no fierce conflicts, but it stands out among 143 domestic and foreign masterpieces with its moving and heart-wrenching plot, and won the gold medal in the category of that year.

And this short film not only has a high reputation in the industry, but also has a high number of views on major video platforms.

If you want to say that the most out-of-the-circle content after the short film, it is the sentence that the male protagonist said to the female protagonist when he was a child, "Haven't you heard of Wang Wei, lovesickness?" ”

A red bean, a smoke and rain, can be entrusted with such a thick feeling, the Chinese poetic narrative, implicitly tells everyone a sad and poignant past, which is probably the biggest key to this short film being able to get out of the circle.

This short film is placed in the song "Red Beans" as a MV, and the more Zhang Songnian thinks about it, the more suitable it is.

Of course, this script is not immediately available after it is written, and the duration of nine minutes is still too long for a MV.

The song "Red Beans" is only in its early four minutes, even if Zhang Songnian works the arrangement and lengthens the duration of the song, it is impossible to drag a song to a length of nine minutes.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Songnian decided to make two versions of the short film.

The nine-minute short film is used to promote the new album, and at the same time, the plot of the original film is compressed and made into a MV with a duration of about four minutes.

The main purpose of this is that Zhang Songnian thinks that if such an excellent short film is simply put in a song to forcibly compress the plot, it is too big to use a song as a MV, and its excellence deserves everyone's praise.

The next day, Zhang Songnian brought it to the company, and first discussed with the screenwriting team how to compress the plot of a nine-minute short film to about four minutes while retaining the original story direction and core.

The adaptation of this operation is actually not very difficult for the screenwriting team with multiple gold medal editors, and it only took half a day for Zhang Songnian to get the final draft.

After getting the final draft, Zhang Songnian ran to the animation department again, and directly pulled a project team with a more leisurely work to come over, intending to give them an overtime shift.

When they heard that they were going to work overtime, the members of the project team not only did not show dissatisfaction, but also looked at Zhang Songnian excitedly.

Mr. Zhang finally figured it out! At this moment, this thought flashed through everyone's hearts.

However, when they heard that Zhang Songnian just wanted to make a short film, everyone's faces were a little lost.

I thought it was a new project, but I didn't expect it to be just a temporary worker.

However, even though I am only a temporary worker, I am much happier than the people in the other groups.

They don't even have the qualifications to be Mr. Zhang's temporary workers!

And when Zhang Songnian took out the character line draft of the short film "Acacia" and heard the style depicted by Zhang Songnian, everyone present flashed with a trace of joy on their faces.

This animated short film, although short, does not require much work.

But Mr. Zhang obviously wants to live again, and the Chinese ink painting style sounds very interesting.

Sure enough, only by following Mr. Zhang can you learn new things.

After Zhang Songnian finished talking about his requirements, he looked around and found that everyone in the conference room was eager to try, and he was puzzled.

Damn, this group of people looks like they're eager to work overtime.

It's not like a team brought out by yourself at all!

What went wrong, Zhang Songnian looked at the group of strugglers in front of him and began to fall into deep thought.

"It's worthy of Mr. Zhang, it's so thoughtful!" A compliment from the employees below interrupted Zhang Songnian's contemplation.

I can't figure out what I just don't think about, Zhang Songnian immediately raised his head and said: "This short film is used to promote the new album, the time is relatively urgent, it is best to be able to fix it for me in about a week, in addition, the picture quality of this short film is very important, you will follow my line draft to determine the style, and everyone will work overtime during this time." ”

As soon as Zhang Songnian's words fell, many people present reacted.

There are many fans of Li Xingruo in the company itself, and the news that Li Xing wants to release a new album has quietly spread in the company, and Zhang Songnian is making a MV short film for his wife.

"No problem, mission guaranteed!" One of the leaders immediately patted his chest and reassured.

One of them proposed again: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your lover is planning to release a whole album this time, or you should consider writing a few more short film scripts, so that the brothers of the other groups can work overtime with us or something, so that everyone can also have a companion." ”

"Yes, yes, I promise that the brothers in the other groups must also be willing, our animation department has not been exposed to new projects for a long time, and everyone is very itchy."

Everyone immediately echoed, and for a while, the whole hall burst into laughter, full of joy.

Zhang Songnian laughed along with them, and then decisively rejected the idea of this group of people trying to work overtime.

A week passed quickly, after all, Golden Feather Entertainment is the three giants in the industry, and its efficiency is amazing.

On the side of the new album, Zong Weiyuan completed the post-production of the new album in less than a week.

At the same time, the same is true for the animation group, the group assigned to the task during this week worked overtime to complete the task assigned by Zhang Songnian as scheduled, and delivered a nine-minute anime short film and a compressed MV on the plot on time, and the quality is also quite good, the effect of this film is not worse than the original version that Zhang Songnian has seen.

After the production of the new album is completed, Li Xingruo is also about to prepare for a farewell vacation, and will be forced to go to work to participate in activities and announcements to build momentum for the release of the new album.

After all, Jin Yu is the three giants of the entertainment industry, and the resources for promoting this part of the new album have been given enough cards.

In the case that the new album is still seven days away, Jin Yu directly plans to arrange major music software to start a pre-sale activity, and Jin Yu's campaign is comparable to the release of a new album by the king and queen.

Originally, Li Xingruo had no idea about the company's promotion resources, according to her experience in Xinghuo Entertainment, as long as she broke with the company, it would be light, but Li Jianhua's approach made Li Xingruo very puzzled.

Li Xingruo was very puzzled and asked Zhang Songnian: "What do you think Li Jianhua, knowing that we will not stay in Jinyu, we still give the highest level of publicity resources for the new album." ”

Zhang Songnian pondered for a while, and then said: "Actually, it's not incomprehensible, in fact, as far as I'm concerned, there are not too many contradictions with Li Jianhua himself, but more of a disagreement with the concept." In fact, no matter which party's idea of the company is to hope that the company will become better, but his set is unacceptable, and the initiative of the company is in his hands, and I don't want to be controlled by others, so I will have the idea of leaving. ”

"As long as we are still in the company and can generate value for the company, then he will naturally not refuse, on the contrary, he will support us."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Songnian gave another example: "For example, whether it is "Infernal Affairs" or "In the Name of the People" or even your current new album, although he does have a little selfishness in the middle, he gave up after knowing that he couldn't do it, although he was lost, but he didn't have the idea of wearing small shoes for the director or me, on the contrary, he was still vigorously promoting the progress of the project behind the scenes." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Songnian couldn't help but diss Li Xingruo's old club Xinghuo Entertainment by the way and said: "Judging from this matter, in fact, Li Jianhua is still a smart person, at least more structured than the leader of your old club Xinghuo Entertainment." ”

"Actually, I guess he also thought about working with me seriously, but maybe it was because of my existence that he couldn't better control the company, so after weighing it, he dismissed this idea."

"But that's fine, in fact, his management style makes it very difficult for me to adapt, although I didn't talk to him, but in fact, we all know each other's inner thoughts, if I leave, it's actually good for anyone, and before we leave, it can also bring a huge benefit to the company, he is naturally happy to see it, so he is not surprised at all."

After listening to Zhang Songnian's analysis, Li Xingruo couldn't help but complain: "It's really complicated. ”

"There is no such thing as simplicity in the adult world." Zhang Songnian couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

Li Xingruo thought for a while, felt that what Zhang Songnian said was very reasonable, and nodded approvingly.
