Chapter 306: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky
"I always thought you were joking, but you really have a plan." Zhang Lan always thought that Zhang Songnian's statement that he would strive to make Li Xingruo top the new song list every month this year was a joke.
But four months have passed, and Li Xingruo can't beat at least one song every month, and what is more stable than her frequency of singing is the ranking of new songs on the list.
Regarding Zhang Lan's suspicious face, Zhang Songnian immediately replied: "Of course I am serious about this kind of thing, Sister Lan just wanted to ask what do you think is the probability that Xingruo will be able to reach the top of the diva this year?" ”
Zhang Lan glanced at Li Xingruo, who was swiping his mobile phone next to him, glanced at Zhang Songnian again, groaned, and said: "After all, divas are also measured according to their works and their own honors, so generally the hot topics of divas are discussed after the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, according to my thoughts, Xingruo doesn't even need to maintain the frequency of a new song every month this year, as long as the Golden Melody Award is over, it must be a recognized diva." ”
"So confident?" Zhang Songnian raised his eyebrows and asked with some uncertainty.
After all, the Chinese music scene has not produced a real diva for many years, and Zhang Songnian is not sure in his heart.
Zhang Lan thought for a while and explained to Zhang Songnian: "The statement of the queen of heaven is not even an official statement, but after this statement spread, many people seem to think that singers standing at the top should have their own unique status, so there is the saying of the king and queen of heaven, which basically represents the status of singers in the minds of the public." ”
Zhang Songnian suddenly realized that this so-called diva is not actually the official standard, but more about the public's recognition of Li Xingruo.
Zhang Lan's answer made Zhang Songnian's heart feel a lot easier, Li Xingruo's current popularity is the second in the entertainment industry, and no one dares to say the first.
After all, a singer who doesn't hype, doesn't make scandals, and at the same time produces new songs steadily, will not make people think annoyingly.
But even so, Zhang Songnian feels that he should still hold his hand, and it shouldn't take too much time to record a song every month anyway.
"I understand, that is to brush the public's favorability and popularity." Zhang Songnian nodded and replied to himself.
Zhang Lan nodded with a smile, and then said: "It's not wrong to understand it this way, speaking of which, if Xingruo can have such a good reputation and popularity now, it is indeed related to the fact that she rarely goes out to participate in event programs and announcements, and it is still rare for a person who is serious about making works to be set up in the circle of stars." ”
After a pause, Zhang Lan said again: "It's also thanks to you, who continue to output so many good songs to Xingruo, if this were to be changed, I guess it would have been cold a long time ago." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Lan glanced at Li Xingruo with envy, this little girl's luck is really good.
When she first met Li Xingruo, she had just stepped into this circle, and Li Xingruo at that time was talented and willing to work hard, and at the same time had principles that most female stars did not have.
has a stubborn and strong personality, but it is obvious that such a character has already determined her upper limit in this circle.
If it weren't for meeting Zhang Songnian, Zhang Lan thought to herself that even if Li Xing worked hard, he might just be a well-known second-tier singer.
The opportunities in life are sometimes so wonderful, since Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian confirmed that they were together, although she did not have the same hard work as before, but the upper limit of the opposite career has become higher and higher.
When Zhang Songnian heard Zhang Lan's answer, he immediately coughed dryly and glanced sideways at Li Xingruo beside him.
Zhang Songnianxin said that what I output to her is not just a good song.
However, it is obviously not suitable to say such a thing on this occasion, Zhang Songnian just smiled and said: "It's Xingruo who sings well, Xingruo himself is very hard working and talented, how can he say it, she was originally such a person." ”
In this regard, Zhang Lan directly gave a roll of the eyes and let Zhang Songnian experience it by himself.
If she said this before she met you, there would be nothing wrong with saying this, but since she met you, she has only been in love and has no career!
Zhang Lan roared wildly in her heart, but she could only complain in her heart, and Zhang Lan didn't say it.
As I said before, if the rotten Li Xing rises in his career on the contrary, this in itself is already very revealing.
If it's rotten, it's rotten, as long as she can become a diva, she can do anything, Zhang Lan's mentality is now completely flat.
Zhang Lan didn't forget the purpose of coming to Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian today, and after chatting a few words, she got down to business again: "Speaking of which, a brand party has come over and wants the two of you to be endorsements, are you interested?" ”
Hearing the two words of endorsement, Li Xingruo couldn't help frowning.
Since leaving Jin Yu, Li Xingruo has basically never taken over endorsements, except that Li Xingruo feels that it is troublesome to participate in announcements and commercial performances when she receives endorsements, the main reason is that she is not short of money, so basically Li Xingruo refuses if she can refuse the endorsement.
Zhang Lan obviously also knows Li Xingruo's character, after being in charge of the studio, when Zhang Lan came to the door from the brand, she basically refused politely.
However, this time the brand that came to the door made Zhang Lan feel that Li Xingruo might be interested, so she came over to find the two of them, and first planned to ask for the opinions of Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian.
"Two people?" Zhang Songnian suddenly grasped the key point in Zhang Lan's words just now, and couldn't help but ask.
After hearing the three words that Zhang Songnian deliberately pointed out, Li Xingruo also looked at Zhang Lan with some curiosity.
If it's with Zhang Songnian, it doesn't seem impossible.
Zhang Lan nodded, looked at the two, and then said seriously: "I personally suggest that you can all consider it, because as a star, in addition to fans and popularity, endorsement is actually the symbol that can best reflect your coffee position, after all, the higher the commercial value, the bigger the star's coffee position, which is also an important symbol of being a super first-line star. ”
After a pause, Zhang Lan continued: "It's a jewelry brand, I want the two of you to be the spokesperson of their brand in the domestic region, an international brand, and the money given is also a lot, but there are quite a lot of requirements, in addition to the endorsement, the brand also said that you need Songnian to be able to write a new song for their new series of products as a promotional song." ”
Referring to this promotional song, Zhang Lan paused again, and said with a hint of disbelief in her tone: "They are willing to spend 10 million on the copyright of this song, I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen a brand willing to pay 10 million to buy a song." ”
Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian were both stunned for a moment.
Although Zhang Songnian's net worth is not low now, and 10 million can be taken out at will for him now, he is still a little shocked that this rich brother-level brand casually threw out 10 million to buy a song.
10 million words for a song, even the top songwriters in China do not have this price.
Zhang Lan glanced at the reactions of the two, and then continued: "Of course, I don't think it's hard to get this money, but I still think Songnian can try it." ”
Zhang Songnian agreed, after all, he gave too much, and he felt that he had no reason to refuse.
Although he is rich now, no one is afraid of money.
In addition, the publicity of this kind of international brand is huge, although the promotion song is sung at the request of the brand, but if the song is selected well, then Li Xing will definitely be more relaxed if he competes for the list next month.
No matter how you look at it, it is a win-win ending, and after a little discussion with Li Xingruo, the two finally decided to take over this endorsement.
After Zhang Lan heard that the two were willing to accept the endorsement, the smile on her face was even worse, and she nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll reply to the brand first, and I'll ask them what their requirements are for the promotion song later, and I'll send it to you later, so you can prepare it." ”
Zhang Lan's actions were very fast, and after talking to Zhang Songnian in the morning, she confirmed most of the matters related to endorsements and promotional songs with the brand in the afternoon.
This time, the brand's plan for the promotion song is to formulate their latest new product Star series, and their requirement is that the song should be created around the theme of the starry sky.
Hearing this request, Zhang Songnian breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the proposition composition is quite simple, and the classic songs on the theme of the starry sky in my impression are not ten but also eight.
"The brightest star in the night sky?"
"Is this the song you plan to write for the brand?"
Li Xingruo took the score handed over by Zhang Songnian with some curiosity and asked.
For Zhang Songnian to be able to complete the creation of a song in two days, Li Xingruo has already seen no surprise.
Zhang Songnian nodded, and after seeing the brand's request, the first reaction in Zhang Songnian's mind was this song.
In addition to the love elements on the bright side, the lyrics of the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" are also very large, in addition to love, family and friendship can find a corresponding position in this song, and the lyrics are very inspirational.
"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear clearly, the loneliness and sigh in the heart of the person who looks up"
Li Xingruo hummed the song lightly to the score and lyrics, the voice was clear and ethereal, hearing Li Xingruo's first lyrics, Zhang Songnian felt that this song should be sung by Li Xingruo, even if the brand didn't like this song this time, it could also be included in Li Xingruo's follow-up albums in the future.
Li Xingruo's ethereal voice in the song makes people feel as if they are really in the vast starry sky, which perfectly fits the artistic conception of this song.
"I pray to have a transparent heart and tearful eyes to give me the courage to believe again and to embrace you beyond lies"
With a clear voice and Li Xingruo's just right high note, Zhang Songnian feels that the song sung by his wife is no worse than the original song.
After simply humming a chorus, Li Xingruo stopped, and it was not difficult to find her love for this song from her bright eyes with a hint of surprise.
In fact, Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian also have the same idea, she likes this song very much, and she must sing it.
Even if the brand feels that this song will not be PASSED this time, Li Xingruo also wants to keep this song and include it when a new album is released in the future.
But obviously both of them were too worried, and after Li Xingruo recorded a sample and sent it to the brand, the brand was also very satisfied with the song.
The social attributes of jewelry have always been very high, and the content of this song is broad, in addition to love, it is also appropriate to describe friendship and family affection in this song.
The lyrics themselves are also very brilliant and inspirational, and in addition, the melody of this song is quite moving, which is the most important point to impress the brand.
Whether a promotional song is excellent or not is actually secondary, the most important thing is to wash the ears with the melody, and when you listen to it once, you can make the listener unconsciously follow along, then the promotion song is a great success.
"The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" has this potential, the chorus part of the melody is quite good, and the song itself is not difficult to sing.
The blessings that a good promotion song can bring to the brand are absolutely terrifying, and they are very willing to give this 10 million fee.
The difficulty of singing the song is not high, and Li Xingruo only took a day to complete the recording.
In addition to recording songs, Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo took promotional photos and short films at the request of the brand, and the days of film scheduling were not easy for Zhang Songnian, for him who was born resistant to the camera, it was already very difficult to stand under the camera naturally.
Fortunately, Li Xingruo has a lot of experience in this, although the shooting was difficult, but he finally completed the shooting under Li Xingruo's step-by-step guidance.
It took more than half a month to negotiate the endorsement plus the recording of the song and the shooting, sending away the tail of April and ushering in the beginning of May, on May 1, Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian appeared at the new product launch of the internationally renowned jewelry brand Cartier with new songs.
When the host of the brand's press conference announced that Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian had become the latest brand spokespersons, the audience at the press conference was in an uproar.
For a long time, Cartier's domestic brand spokesperson selection has always been the group of stars with the highest coffee in the entertainment industry, at least the stars at the level of kings or actors, who are qualified to become the spokespersons of this brand.
And this time Cartier itself broke this tradition, Li Xingruo still said in the past, according to Li Xingruo's current popularity and popularity, it is only a matter of time before the queen of heaven.
But Zhang Songnian and everyone couldn't understand it, when they pronounced this name for the first time, even everyone was stunned for a long time, and there should be no king or actor with this name in their impression.
However, seeing Zhang Songnian standing on the stage with Li Xingruo, everyone seemed to understand the brand's thoughts again.
This person is really handsome, handsome with a hint of elegance, and Li Xingruo on the side is simply the existence of a golden boy and a girl.
In addition, after everyone searched for Zhang Songnian's information again, fans had a little more understanding of the brand.
"Can you hear the brightest star in the night sky?"
And when Li Xingruo resounded at the scene with an ethereal singing voice at the press conference, all the audience on the scene and watching the live broadcast fully understood the choice of the brand. (End of chapter)
