023 Singer Huang Ling and the theme song of "The Best of Us".
Magic City, a certain park
Li Jiahang was wearing a combat uniform, his expression was serious, his hands were pushed forward flatly, his fists were folded up and down, his arms were bent to make a block, and he slowly raised it to his forehead, and then he opened his arms and waved back vigorously, and finally quickly held the belt the size of a camera box in front of his waist, and let out a cry of justice.
"Golden Armor Warrior, Energy Activated!"
The conscience of heaven and earth, Wei Yang didn't have the slightest idea of laughing at his good brother, but when he saw this scene, he really didn't hold back,
"Hahaha......"
When Li Jiahang finished filming that section, he walked over with a black face, and Wei Yang's feet were soft with a smile.
"Brother Hang, I really don't blame my brother, I really didn't expect the impact on the scene to be so big, the energy starts, hahaha........."
The special effects drama doesn't need any acting skills to watch, but it tests the actor's sense of belief.
Especially domestic special effects dramas, which are oriented to the younger age of the group, do not have a certain soul of middle school, and many times can't bear those shameful lines and actions.
"The surname is Wei, why don't you laugh again, I'll fight with you."
Li Jiahang grinded his teeth with hatred, and he pushed and blocked Wei Yang from visiting the class, but he still didn't stop him after all, thinking about his actions just now, he couldn't wait to die on the spot.
"Ahem, stop laughing, really don't laugh."
Wei Yang forcibly calmed his emotions, although there was still a smile in the corner of his eyes, but it was not so obvious, Li Jiahang didn't know.
To be honest, it was the first time for him to film, and someone came to visit the class, and he was still very moved by the social death.
"At noon, I have a treat to catch the wind, and I can order whatever I want."
Li Jiahang patted his chest, although the cost of "Golden Armor Warrior" is very low, and the actor's salary is not high, he is the male number one, plus he has a lot of scenes, he still made a small fortune, and the good brother came to visit the class, and he shot very generously.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat first, you said before that there is a singer Huang Ling in your crew, where is it?"
Wei Yang looked around, didn't hear a reply, and when he looked back, Li Jiahang was looking at him with a resentful face.
"So you didn't come to see me."
"."
Wei Yang's goosebumps rose, and he kicked over: "Nonsense, hurry up and find someone, how is your relationship with her?" ”
"I'm not familiar with it, why are you, aren't you fighting with the one in the capital? Want to split your legs? ”
"To be precise, so far, the two of us are not boyfriend and girlfriend, there is no splitting, in addition, it's your business, hurry up and find someone, there is something serious."
Li Jiahang muttered to find someone, and finally brought in a girl with some charming eyebrows, who was the Huang Ling that Wei Yang was looking for.
"Hello Mr. Huang, my name is Wei Yang."
"Don't dare to be a teacher, I heard Jiahang say, you have something to do with me?"
Huang Ling spoke softly, his personality was very direct, and he went straight to the point, Wei Yang was not verbose, and got down to business.
"That's right, I'm a producer, and now I have a play at hand, and I'm going to record the theme song, and I want to ask Mr. Huang Ling to give it a try."
It turned out to be alive!
Huang Ling's eyes lit up, and his attitude suddenly became much more enthusiastic, this is not the place to speak, Wei Yang proposed to find a restaurant after a while and talk carefully.
Only then did Li Jiahang understand what was going on, poked Wei Yang, and asked softly, "What's the situation." ”
He understands Wei Yang, and he rarely mixes things that are not beneficial, and this time he is busy with the theme song, and he is definitely not running errands in vain.
Wei Yang smiled: ""The Best of Us" lacks a theme song, I wrote two lyrics and threw them to Lao Xia, and 50,000 yuan was used to pack the work. ”
"You can also write songs?"
Li Jiahang's eyes widened, and Wei Yang was a little weak-hearted: "I wrote the lyrics, and then the melody was also a little inspired, go back and find someone who can compose music to get the score." ”
“……”
Li Jiahang served: "You are really awesome, Lao Xia also agrees?" ”
"He is not satisfied with the song written by the person he found, he buys it outside, the good song is expensive, it is better to let me try it, he read the lyrics, he is quite satisfied, and I bid cheaply."
Screenwriter, producer, and acting, Wei Yang left a deep impression on the blue whale and accumulated some trust.
In another person, Xia Cong was directly thrown out, but Wei Yang came forward, and he was still willing to try it.
"What about Huang Ling?"
"I've heard her "Itch" and "Hi Song", she sings well, and she must know musicians, so I can get in touch with her."
With a total budget of 50,000 yuan, minus the cost of composition + arrangement + recording, Wei Yang will earn some more by himself, and there will not be much money left for the singer.
Already famous singers don't have to think about it at all, they can only find newcomers or young singers like Huang Ling.
Although it was to make money, Wei Yang still wanted to give "The Best of Us" the best configuration possible, so he found Huang Ling, who became famous in later generations.
Otherwise, according to normal logic, 300 singers for a day in the magic capital bar are enough.
This kind of singer doesn't need Wei Yang to spend money.
Just kidding, allowing you to sing the theme song of the TV series is equivalent to helping you release a single, and it's good not to ask you for money.
Even if he found Huang Ling, Wei Yang didn't give a high price, 10,000 yuan for two songs, which is already the bottom line he made for the quality of "The Best of Us".
…
Half an hour later, in a small restaurant near the filming location, Wei Yang did not go around in circles, and directly put his needs and prices on the line.
Everyone is very busy, and if it is successful, it will not be pulled down, and he has no time to pull it repeatedly for this little money.
Huang Ling just released her debut album "Itch" in March this year, and the songs of the same name "Itch" and "Hi Song" in it later became her masterpieces.
But at this time, in addition to "Itch" being out of the circle on a small scale on the Internet, "Hi Song" became popular because of "The Voice of China".
Therefore, Huang Ling is still quite embarrassed now, the song is Xiaohong, but he is not popular, otherwise he would not have come to play the supporting villain of the special effects drama.
10,000 yuan to record two songs, the bid is not too high, but then again, if the TV series can be broadcast, it is also an opportunity.
Huang Ling hesitated: "Can I read the lyrics?" ”
Wei Yang nodded, took out two pages from his bag, folded them in half, only exposed half of them, and pressed them with his hand to show Huang Ling.
The screenwriter's occupational disease, money and goods are not compatible, and outsiders will never see the complete script.........
The two songs are called "The Best of Us" and "Geng in the Heart", which are actually the theme songs of the original play.
These two songs are not particularly good, but they are also very good, they are masterpieces of youth campus themes, they have a certain influence, and the most important thing is to fit the plot.
Wei Yang memorized some lyrics, copied his own original, and copied the lyrics, seeing that Huang Ling read it seriously, he also hummed two melodies.
"I'm also blind to it, I'm not familiar with this aspect, and I have to be checked by you professionals."
Wei Yang said that he was very modest and didn't know how to compose music, but it was not uncommon for him to write songs by himself, but he usually entertained himself.
Many small recording studios often give people "songs", which is a similar situation, and even if you can't write a song, people will give you a complete finish.
At first, Huang Ling thought that she had encountered a whimsical wrongdoer, and she thought that it would be good to make extra money, but after reading the lyrics and listening to the melody, she retracted her evaluation and felt that this Wei Yang still had two brushes.
"You really haven't studied music?"
Wei Yang looked innocent: "Does taking music class in high school count?" ”
Huang Ling choked, and then looked at Wei Yang with pity on his face: "If you study music, with your talent and this face, you will be the next king of Chinese language." ”
"I don't have a hobby of daydreaming."
Wei Yang is not very interested in being a singer, he is more concerned about whether Huang Ling's price is acceptable, and whether he can give him the song by the way.
"The price is a little low, but your song is good, I will take this job, as for the composition and arrangement, if you can trust me, I will find someone to get it, and finally give you the finished product."
Is it all popular now?
Li Jiahang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but scold, but Wei Yang was interested: "How much?" ”
Huang Ling calculated by himself and made two gestures: "45,000." ”
Wei Yang's head shook into a rattle: "It's too expensive, the budget is not enough." ”
"40,000, quality and quantity, I also took a favor into it."
"No, no, our leaders absolutely disagree with this price, I can give up to 30,000, and I want to ensure quality and quantity."
"You don't have to worry about the quality, listen to the sample then, and we'll record it again, but the price is too low, at least 35,000."
“…… 32,000 yuan, but you have to sign a contract, if there is a problem with the quality, it must be modified in place, otherwise the balance will be deducted. ”
The two had a war of words, Huang Ling couldn't play Wei Yang's old fritter at all, and the bottom line continued to decrease, and finally gave Huang Ling two songs at a price of 32,000 yuan, with a deposit of 10,000 yuan.
At this price, Huang Ling can't talk about losing money, but he basically doesn't make any money, and it is estimated that he will have to take favors.
The reason why she gritted her teeth and admitted it was because she was still interested in the prospects of these two songs, hoping that these two songs could bring some other benefits.
When Wei Yang was a screenwriter, he hated Party A's repeated revisions + deduction of the final payment, but when he became Party A, he exploited Party B mercilessly, and lowered the price and raised conditions.
was so angry that Huang Ling grinded his teeth, he didn't eat much, and he was full of life......
Waiting for Huang Ling to leave, Wei Yang called Xia Cong: "Hey, Mr. Xia, the theme song already has eyebrows, yes, you should be able to see the finished product in half a month, with a budget of 60,000+, no need, hey, is it all for our company......"
Li Jiahang was dumbfounded when he saw it next to him: "Are you going to ask Lao Xia again for 10,000?" ”
"After talking about the all-inclusive price, how can you temporarily increase the price? Besides, if the news leaks, I will become someone. ”
"And what are you?"
"The budget is high, which means that we are not making money, and people listen to it and comfort their hearts, even if they miss the stuffing, I don't ask him for a penny, and he won't be angry."
Wei Yang explained: "Lao Xia is easy to be careful, he has to say something beautiful to coax, if he is replaced by Sun Wei or Zheng Dong, he can't play like this." ”
Li Jiahang knew that Wei Yang was sociable, and he also had the heart to learn a thing or two, so he was very humble to ask for advice.
"What about the two of them?"
"Sun Wei is simple, I earn 18,000, go back and send him a red envelope of 8,000, Zheng Dong ......"
Wei Yang recalled Zheng Dong's demeanor and said categorically: "Find a place to drink and sing K first, accompany me first, and then talk about business, I didn't give him a drink if the budget is less than 100,000." ”
