Rebirth Starts From 2006

Chapter 786 A small favor

,!

The news that Damai Culture had invested in two literary films spread throughout the Beijin literary and art circles that day.

Although no one voted for these two dramas, they are quite famous.

After all, one is a powerful screenwriter in the Northeastern circle, and the other is a capable person who is a leading figure in the sixth generation of directors. They are not unknown people with no foundation. They have no shortage of connections. What they lack is just big donors who dare to pay.

Don't look at the bosses of these two rising star directors. They are both influential figures in their respective circles. There is no difficulty at all in soliciting sponsorship for filming.

But the sponsor is not a fool. They recognize the two people behind them with their golden signs. They don’t just throw money at them with their eyes closed to give two raw melons and eggs a chance to practice.

Therefore, the actor seems to like this piano very much, but no investors can find it.

The other Mr. Tree is even more outrageous,

Magical Realism?

Not to mention this kind of film in China, even in Europe, where literary and artistic films have become mainstream, there are still few outstanding masterpieces. Who would believe that Han Jie, a new director who has only made one film, can make it well?

Even if his boss, Section Chief Jia, takes action personally, there is no guarantee.

As a result, it will be even less likely to attract investment.

Originally, both of them had made plans to take the script to the Shanghai Film Festival in a few months to try their luck.

Without the emergence of Damai Culture, the two would have met at the Shanghai Film Festival. Gang Qin also won the first award and a bonus of 300,000 yuan with her excellent script.

Unfortunately, we still haven’t found an investor.

Later, Zhang Meng didn't want to wait any longer, so he started shooting with more than one million he had scraped together.

His crew was really poor. It was already the 21st century, and filming was still like it was in the 1970s and 1980s. The actors had to be asked to pass because they couldn't afford to waste film.

Even so, we still ran out of money halfway through the filming, so Director Zhang gave everyone a holiday in the name of rest, and went around looking for investment.

He was lucky. Within two days, he found the owner of a newly established private film and television company. Others didn't understand it, but seeing that he was really in trouble, and for the sake of fellow villagers, he gave him two million, almost like a charity. , and it arrived the next day, so I didn’t expect to get my money back.

The female lead Qin Hailu also saw the crew's plight of having no money. Not only did she return 10% of the advance payment for the film, but she also advanced money to the crew out of her own pocket.

With all this rambling, Zhang Meng barely managed to finish filming the film.

Later film critics commented that there were some regrets in this film.

There was no way, it was all about money. Even if director Zhang wanted to reshoot, he wouldn't be able to afford the money to buy film.

In comparison, Han Jie at the Shanghai Film Festival was even worse. Not only did he not get investment, he didn't even get a small prize.

When I read the script, I can still see something, but Mr. Shu's script only looks absurd, with no trace of magic at all.

Finally, the boss personally stepped in to help him secure investment, but he ran into trouble again when choosing actors.

The capable veteran actors don't want to take the role, but the average actors are not strong enough to produce that kind of effect.

In the end, after much deliberation, this role fell to Wang Baoqiang, who had starred in The Blind Shaft.

I heard that the reason why he was chosen was not only cheap and easy to use, but also related to the investor’s request for celebrities to participate.

Anyway, Wang Baoqiang can be considered a star.

The two of them are two of the best domestic literary films in the past ten years. The scripts were released at about the same time, they were filmed at the same time, and they won awards at the same time. It can be said that they are a pair of incompatible brothers.

But it's fine now,

They don’t have to go around begging their father and grandma to find investment. Damai Culture has everything covered in one fell swoop.

And except for one thing, there are no restrictions on their shooting.

That is the heroine and must be saved for barley.

In front of them, Lao Liu didn't even bother to say Boss Chen's guarantee. In one sentence, the female lead must be an actor from Damai.

Needless to say "otherwise" and the like, not to mention the two of them, even the boss behind them would not dare to fight with Damai.

What's more, Damai's demands are not excessive at all. He has fully invested in your movie and has actors under his own umbrella. How can he still let you use outside actors?

As a result, the two movies that Boss Chen was worried about ended up in Damai's pocket.

With two movies in the bag, Boss Chen is in a good mood these days. If he hadn't been criticized by Miss Qin from time to time, he would be in a better mood.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, the gunman you are looking for has sent a message that your work has been completed. Please go and check it out!"

Boss Chen picked his ears with his fingers and selectively ignored certain words. Then he stood up, took his coat, and said while putting it on,

"Call Sister Shan to go and hear the effect."

After that, he walked out.

Qin Yu leaned against the door frame, curled his lips and said, "Do you think everyone is as free as you? Shanshan is very busy, okay? She is in a meeting now..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Yang suddenly turned around and approached her, his neck suddenly shrinking back, "What are you doing?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, stood up straight and said, "If she doesn't come, will you?"

Qin Yu felt hurt, and his pretty face immediately fell.

Zou Rong suppressed her laughter, took off her down jacket and wrapped it tightly, walked over and said with a smile, "I have already sent a message to Sister Shan. She said to go directly and meet us there."

With that said, he walked out.

Qin Yu pursed his lips and muttered softly behind the two of them,

"Hey, isn't it just that I can sing? What's so great about it? I can also dance with a sword."

If she hadn't gone to accept new songs now, she would have had to perform a Wudang Double Swords to let them know what it means to be awesome!

An hour later, Wheatfield Music Company.

In the past, Maitian Music rented an office on the first floor in Sanlitun, which has a strong music atmosphere and is close to the center of the industry.

However, after being acquired by Boss Chen, that little space was no longer enough.

When Zhang Lu took over the new company, the first thing he did was buy a house.

With the services of Anjia Real Estate, Wheatfield Music moved the company to another 12-story office building on the same street.

Today, less than one-third of this building is in use, and the rest is under renovation. When all renovations are completed, Maitian Music may be the company with the best hardware environment in the national music industry.

none of them.

The arrival of the three big bosses naturally attracted all the elites of Wheatfield Music to greet them.

"Hello, Director Chen,"

"Hello, Mr. Huang, hello Mr. Qin,"...

Boss Chen was also very polite, smiling and shaking hands with everyone.

"Hello, Teacher Li, Hello, Teacher Luo, Hello, Teacher Zhou, Hello, Teacher Park, Hello, Teacher Huang..."

Hey,

If I hadn’t come to Maitian, I wouldn’t have known there were so many big-name artists in my hometown.

Okay, I actually knew that before, but just looking at the name and meeting the real person are two different things.

This feeling is really a bit different.

Stop gossiping,

Listen to the song directly,

After receiving a call from Boss Chen, Jay Chou rushed to Beijin overnight that day and settled in the Maitian Music Production Studio. He didn't come out for a whole day.

Well, what is the main thing?

Boss Chen has already finished singing a song completely. He only needs to rearrange it according to the music theory and style of the song.

And when he first listened to this song, he felt very, very familiar.

I feel so familiar that this song was not created by Boss Chen, but a song painstakingly composed by my old partner Ah Shan and myself.

Of course he didn't dare to do anything about boss Chen's copyright, nor did he want to do it.

However, under this feeling, it is actually very logical to complete the arrangement in one day.

Too familiar, everything comes naturally, no matter how much time it takes,

Facts have proved that in the next five days, he invited many friends, as well as Li Luosheng, who was working at Wheatfield Music, to revise the song.

They all thought that Jay Chou's arrangement perfectly matched the song, and there was really no room for change.

It can be seen that inspiration is the truth in art, and time cannot conquer everything.

In a singing practice room, Jay Chou performed the operation himself, and a beautiful melody suddenly flowed out.

Huang Shan, who had just arrived from the company, closed her eyes and listened to this song, saying nothing for a long time.

Qin Yu sat next to her, with his eyebrows lowered and his fingers still shaking slightly. He was obviously thinking about what kind of sword path would best fit the music.

Chen Yang and Zou Rong sat aside and listened quietly.

A few minutes later, when the last note fell, Chen Yang immediately clapped his hands and applauded.

As his applause rang out, the singing room immediately burst into applause.

When the applause stopped, Chen Yang stood up and said with a smile, "Very good, just the feeling I wanted."

Facts have proved that Fat Wheel is Fat Wheel. The arrangement of the entire song is almost exactly the same as in the previous life. The song did not lose its luster just because it was released a few years earlier.

Don’t think that if Boss Chen sings the entire song directly, you can definitely restore the song.

Sometimes the role of arrangement is even more important than composing.

The same piece of music, with different arrangements, can even produce completely opposite effects.

This is why Chen Yang wanted to find Jay Chou instead of just leaving it to the big names like Wheatfield Music.

As it turned out, the fat wheel never let him down.

Facing Boss Chen's praise, Jay Chou looked very humble and quickly clasped his hands together and said,

"No, no, it's mainly because Chen Dongge writes well, especially the lyrics. Wow, I listened to Ah Shan and he said he was ashamed of himself!"

When Chen Yang heard this, he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh.

Who said Fat Wheel can't communicate? Isn't this flattering sound really loud?

Then Chen Yang waved his hand gently and said with a smile, "You can just say this here. If you say it outside, I'm afraid it will make people laugh to death."

After a pause, he stopped giving Fat Wheel a chance to flatter him and said directly,

"You helped me make this song, so I owe you a favor. If you need any help, you can tell me."

Hearing this, other people around could not help but show strange expressions.

One song and one favor? Then Boss Chen’s favor is too cheap, right?

Although Boss Chen has never been on any rich list, that’s because no one can figure out Boss Chen’s net worth, not even a rough range.

However, based on just a few well-known companies, especially Rainbow Group, everyone is guessing that even if Boss Chen is not the world's richest man, he can still be ranked among the top ten.

In the past, when a Bill Guy visited China, he was able to arouse shocks from all walks of life in business circles. It seemed that as long as he could have some contact with him at this interview or dinner, he would be honored.

If Boss Chen reveals all his net worth, even if it is not as good as Bill, it can still be half as good as Bill.

How much is the favor of such a big shot worth?

Of course, favors can be big or small. Just a favor for a song cannot be expected to make Boss Chen feel grateful. At most, it is just a favor at the right time.

But for them, who are big stars in the eyes of ordinary people and little shrimps in front of big capital, a simple helping hand may be a major event that can affect their lives.

How can you not be jealous of such a beautiful thing?

Thinking of this, their minds started to move again.

Jay Chou can get a favor just by being an arranger, so they help Boss Chen add a few lyrics into a complete song.

How to calculate this favor?

It should be a little bigger than Jay Chou's anyway, right? !

Even if several people collaborated on this song, it should be enough for everyone to share a share.

Just when everyone had different thoughts, Jay Chou suddenly said with a smile,

"Really? Any conditions are acceptable?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Don't do what Guo Xiang did to Yang Guo, wasting two golden needles by showing off his face and celebrating his birthday."

A joke, but it has two hidden meanings.

One is, my favor is very precious, don't use it carelessly. The other is, you must make conditions within your ability and don't cause me any problems.

But Jay Chou laughed, as if he didn't understand, clasped his hands and said, "Of course, Director Chen's favor must not be wasted,"

After a pause, he said with a smile, "That's right, when I was making songs here, I heard that Rainbow Group was going to hold an annual meeting, and invited all the company's artists to attend.

Director Chen, I am the spokesperson of Damai, and I can be considered half a Damai person. I wonder if I have the honor to participate in the company's annual meeting? "

Um?

Hearing this, Chen Yang was stunned and looked at him in surprise, "Is this your condition?"

At the same time, other people around also had different expressions.

Some secretly regretted it, some were thoughtful, and some secretly applauded.

Needless to say, it's a pity that Boss Chen's favor was used so lightly. It's a pity no matter how you look at it.

But when they saw the expressions on the faces of the people around them, they immediately reacted,

yes,

No matter how great this favor is, it's just a matter of a song. Even if I ask Director Chen for help in the future when I encounter difficulties, how much help will I get?

In other words, after using the favor to get help once, what will happen next?

But it's different now,

I used this favor directly, but what I got in exchange was the opportunity to assist at the company's annual meeting.

It seems to be used, but in fact it is not used, but it deepens the impression in Director Chen's mind. Maybe he can be promoted to a higher level and become friends with the boss.

It is really smart to improve the relationship between the two parties compared to a favor that is indispensable or trivial.

I can't tell that Jay Chou, who looks a bit dull, has such a delicate mind.
