Chapter 38 Popularity
"But music production itself costs money. We are not like other industries. For example, writers can write with a piece of paper. To make a mature music work, at least there is musical instrument. For example, piano, it costs tens of thousands of yuan. There is a recording studio, no matter how cheap it is, it costs millions. No matter how much we save the cost of making a song, it costs tens of thousands, right? But everyone takes it for granted that music should be free. If you say we want to survive, they will scold you for making music for money."
"Brother, we want to have a meal! So, I simply quit the music circle!"
"We Chinese people think that I used to think so, and lyrics should be the most important thing in music. When we look at the top ten songs in the Chinese rankings, the lyrics are basically beautiful, but the melody is just that, and it is even very rustic and vulgar! Previously, for me, music was a thing that was written by literature, and it was the medium used by literati to express emotions!"
"But music is not just this effect, it should be something that expresses all emotions in every different nation and every different level of people."
"Of course, I have heard that the country has strengthened formal management in this regard, started to pay attention to the protection of music and respect our copyright."
"It's a pity that I can't go back. Think about it, so many music talents have been lost. For example, those who followed me into a band a few years ago went to other professions, selling houses, etc. They have been studying music for more than ten years, but later they can only sell houses!"
"So, don't blame us for not writing any good music. We don't respect us and think that we should bring you good music as expected, why?"
"Okay, that's all about this issue. I'll announce something, so it's also considered an advertisement. My first directorial work "33 Days of Love Break" will be launched on the 9th of next month, which is April 9th. Please support me! Thank you everyone!"
After the recording of the program ended, Shen Lin looked at Li Zhonghe, and Li Zhonghe also looked at him.
"Let's not eat roasted lamb legs."
Shen Lin suddenly spoke.
"Okay, then go for a meal!"
The two had a tacit understanding and did not talk about the deleted matters. They just talked about the relevant content recorded in "The Departure". For example, Shen Lin proposed that some historical content could be recorded, and Li Zhonghe agreed that as long as it was not involved in politics, he would not care.
Of course, Shen Lin is considered to have learned from his mistakes, and it is unlikely that he will take the initiative to involve the forbidden area above.
I had a very pleasant meal. Of course, the money I paid for was paid by Li Zhonghe, so he could be reimbursed.
...
The later stage of "33 Days of Love Break" is basically completed. In addition to the initial scenes of the breakup, Shen Lin decided to invite Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie and his wife, and also invited Zhang Jie and Xie Na.
The meaning of cameo is very simple. You only need to regard every film and television work as a delicacy. The protagonist and supporting role are the ingredients and ingredients of this dish. The team behind the scenes is the chef and the guest actor is like a crystal carrot flower on a plate.
It is hard to say that a meal with less radish flowers will affect the taste, but with such careful decoration, you will feel that this is a top-notch feast.
So, when did the guest performance appear in domestic TV series?
In most viewers' memories, the first large-scale guest appearance in the sitcom "I Love My Home" broadcast in 1994. At that time, the sitcom had just entered China and was still a new thing. Because the crew's funding was limited, but they wanted to expand their influence, director Ying came up with a way: ask friends everywhere to find "Bar" to make guest appearances. This made it possible for such a "unprecedented" super luxurious guest appearance lineup in "I Love My Home".
However, such temporary performances were not called guest stars, but "guest star" - guest star, which is the English "guest star".
The "House Star" drama is generally full. Since it comes, it will be used hard for an episode. For example, the "House Star" was used on a large scale in the NBC hit drama "Friends", and there are countless big-name stars that have appeared, such as Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, etc.
With the development and prosperity of the domestic TV drama market, guest performances are being used more and more frequently.
In recent years, celebrity guest appearances have even become one of the most important selling points of a drama. For example, "Love Apartment 4" aired in 2014 has attracted a lot of attention because of the guest appearances of big-name stars such as Hu Ge, He Jiong, Xie Na, Du Haitao, and Lin Zhilin. It has become the hottest comedy of that year.
It is worth mentioning that unlike the early "I Love My Home", in recent years, most guest actors in the plays are just "gimmicks" - just show their faces. For example, in "Dragon Gate Escort Agency", Li Chen played the world's No. 1 quick-cut knife player "Jing Yi Dao". After a few lines, he was knocked down with one stick, which was purely a so-called soy sauce.
It has become a trend for domestic film and television dramas to invite big-name guest appearances.
Of course, some celebrities need to charge money for guest appearances. They often say "friendly guest appearances". Because friendship is "priceless", guest appearances are also considered "zero pay".
Of course, giving money means that you have a bad relationship with celebrities.
It is obvious that Shen Lin cannot use this. This guy is an authentic Beijing gang member. Whether it is in the background or in the open, his friendship in the entertainment industry is still good.
At least a few big names can be invited to make guest appearances.
Zhang Guoli and his wife happily agreed, both of them were from the Beijing Gang.
Since Zhang Guoli came to the capital from Shudu, he has a good relationship with Feng Xiaogang. In addition, he deliberately has a good relationship with Huayi, and has completely gained a foothold in the Beijing Gang.
As for Zhang Jie and Xie Na, Zhang Jie was extremely happy, but Xie Na was a little hesitant, and later she simply said that she had no time!
Damn! I clearly don’t want to come!
So, Shen Lin found Deng Chao and Sun Li again. The couple had always wanted to get into the Beijing Gang, otherwise they would not have starred in "The Legend of Zhen Feng" directed by Zheng Xiaolong.
Both pairs are veteran actors, and there are not many shots and almost no performance difficulty, so it is easy to pass.
Shen Lin and Zhang Guoli and his wife discussed the "Please Answer 2002" that Baoye is preparing. Deng Jie, who wants them to play the leading role, has not appeared on the screen for several years, so she naturally agreed. Zhang Guoli has nothing to hesitate. With Baoye's reputation, the two agreed happily.
The kindness between Deng Chao and Sun Li is a bit difficult to deal with. After all, the next movie in Shen Lin’s plan is "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and there is indeed no role for them.
"Brother Chao, if you don't dislike it, how about we collaborate on a drama next year?"
