Fang Xing and Zhang Yigao were sitting in plastic chairs, staring at the group of dancers dancing in front of them.
This group of dancers wore goose-yellow palace costumes, with flower petals on their eyebrows, and held fans in their hands as they danced in front of the green screen.
However, this was already the seventh time, and Fang Xing was not satisfied with the effect shown on the monitor.
Of course, if you have to use these shots, it’s not impossible to use them.
After all, we are shooting a music video, not a film and television drama, so we don’t need such high requirements.
However, Fang Xing still tried his best to move closer to his own standards and do his best.
After the seventh dance, Fang Xing stood up, clapped his hands, and announced: "Rest for half an hour, drink something, replenish your strength, and do it again later. A box lunch and vegetables for dinner."
For these dancers, when they are paid to perform, they must dance according to Party A's requirements, even if they dance more than a dozen times.
Fang Xing has always been very kind to the crew, adding extra food to the lunch box almost every day.
In addition, being able to participate in the MV shooting of Fang Xing's new album is a rare opportunity for these dancers.
…
The reason why Fang Xing asked the crew to take a break was because he had just received a WeChat message from his assistant and knew that Wang Huajuan was coming.
After checking the time, I guessed that Wang Huajun was almost here, so he asked the crew to rest first.
Not long after, the assistant led Wang Huajun in.
"coming."
Fang Xing reached out and hooked his shoulder, leading him into the studio's office.
"team leader."
Wang Huajun didn't know how to call Fang Xing. Calling Mr. Fang was too unfamiliar, and calling him by his first name didn't feel respectful enough. So after hesitating for a moment, he still felt like calling him "Captain" was the same as before.
"Have you eaten?" Fang Xing greeted.
"I came here after eating, eating, eating." Wang Huajun replied quickly.
Fang Xing turned back to his assistant and said, "Bring me two cups of tea."
Then he sat down with Wang Huajun and started chatting: "How are you doing lately?"
"It's not bad. After a week of rest, I feel a lot more relaxed." Wang Huajun moved his shoulders.
For the past two years, he has been tied up in Chaoyin Culture's limited team contract, but has not received any valuable resources.
The jobs I took were all for shopping mall activities, not even classical dance, but all kinds of dance.
"What are your plans for the future?" Fang Xing first asked him what he thought.
Wang Huajun hesitated for a long time before replying: "I don't know either, I can only take it one step at a time."
When he participated in "Tomorrow's Star", he was already 26 years old.
Now I am 28 years old. For dancers, these two years are actually the golden years, but they are wasted in this way.
Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked: "In the future, do you want to stand in front of the stage and dance, or do you want to go behind the scenes and do choreography or something like that."
Regarding this issue, Wang Huajun has naturally thought about it.
Dancers cannot dance forever. When they reach a certain age, they must retire from the stage.
Of course, he is still young and still has at least ten years of his prime, so there is no need to rush.
However, if you want to develop on a higher platform, it is safest to do it both in front of and behind the scenes.
Wang Hua nodded and replied: "My plan is to focus on the stage first and do some behind-the-scenes work. One day I can no longer dance, and I will switch to choreography."
Fang Xing understood what he meant, thought for a moment and said, "By the way, the MV I'm shooting now requires a palace dance. I'm not very satisfied with the dancer's dance moves. Are you willing to help?"
"Of course, of course!" Wang Huajun nodded quickly.
The MV that Fang Xing shot this time featured a team of dancers in palace costumes performing palace dances.
Holding a round fan, she is graceful and graceful.
However, Fang Xing was not satisfied with the results.
The dance scenes shot before were more than charming, but lacked a bit of the grandeur of "I will bloom and then all the flowers will be killed".
Wang Huajun took the initiative to talk about his requirements for dance, and then thought about it seriously.
He has studied classical dance since he was a child. With more than 20 years of experience, he naturally has unique insights into choreography.
Fang Xing was not sure whether his ability in choreography was good, but he was willing to let him give it a try.
After the crew rested for half an hour, filming resumed.
Fang Xing communicated with the invited dance team and handed over the choreography work to Wang Huajun. Wang Huajun did the rest with the dancers.
Wang Huajun first watched the court dance performed by the dancers. Instead of overturning everything and starting over, he made adjustments to a few key dance moves.
According to Fang Xing's request, she added a little domineering presence amidst her charm.
The cameraman is also required to use a slightly upward-looking lens when taking close-up shots of the dancers, so as to enhance their temperament.
After adjustments, the results were indeed improving in the direction Fang Xing wanted.
After dancing three more times, Fang Xing finally clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Very good. The palace dance is finished. We will add dinner tonight. Thank you all dance teachers."
This group of dancers quickly waved their hands to express their disapproval.
After filming all the scenes today, Fang Xing handed over the crew to Zhang Yigao, and then he and Wang Huajun found another place to have dinner and talk things over.
While eating, we continued to talk about the contract.
"Where's the contract with the brokerage company?" Fang Xing asked proactively to see if there was anyone who could help.
If Wang Huajun still has a contract with a brokerage company, he still needs to communicate with his company.
"The contract with the brokerage company is about to expire, and they are not very active in renewing it." Wang Huajun doesn't care about this.
The so-called lack of active renewal of the contract means that the brokerage company did not refuse to renew the contract, but the conditions it provided were very poor.
If you continue to sign a 28-cent contract and do not commit any resources, then the brokerage company will not lose money no matter how you sign it.
Wang Huajun has just been bound by a limited group contract. In two years, the money he earned was only enough for rent and food.
His agency also did not speak for him in front of Chaoyin Culture.
So he had no idea about his original agency.
"I haven't contacted my agent for two months, so we have tacitly agreed not to interfere with each other." Wang Huajun replied.
"What are your plans in the future? Are you going to sign with a dance troupe? Or are you looking for another agency?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'm not in a hurry. I'll do it alone first." Wang Huajun is really not in a hurry to find a brokerage company.
There is no use signing a contract with a brokerage company that does not provide resources.
Moreover, he is no longer a newcomer and does not need the agency to spend money to train him, so it is okay not to sign him.
"You should consider it yourself when it comes to appointments with an agent. I don't have special dance resources here. You can sign an agent first and then find a dance company to cooperate with. If I have dance resources here, I will give priority to you...
"
Fang Xing thought for a while and said, "By the way, I'm going to record "Laughter Weekend" the day after tomorrow to promote the new album. You can go too, and I'll add you to the WeChat group later, where you and the director of "Laughter Weekend"
Let’s discuss it with the group and see if we can put on a show.”
"good!"
When Wang Huajun heard the words "Laughing Weekend", his eyes widened instantly.
What kind of program is "Laughter Weekend"?
The aces of domestic variety shows of the same type, those famous directors and billionaire actors, will choose "Laughing Weekend" to promote their new movies.
Moreover, the tens of billions of movie stars go to "Laughter Weekend" to promote, but there is no advertising fee.
If other variety shows wanted to invite actors of this caliber to participate in the show, they would have to start with an eight-figure salary, but if they went to promote the show, they would basically get no money.
Because appearing on "Laughter Weekend" means that your popularity will skyrocket, so anyone who is a celebrity wants to record "Laughter Weekend".
However, most of the stars who can often appear on "Laughter Weekend" are artists from Hunan and Guo.
…
In fact.
This time, Mailin Records also contacted Xiangjiang Satellite TV, hoping to participate in "Laughter Weekend" to promote Tan Zhiguan's new album.
However, Fang Xing had participated in Xiangjiang TV's "Singing" and was very familiar with He Hao, the host of "Laughter Weekend".
Therefore, in this round of competition, Fang Xing got the notice of "Laughter Weekend".
Of course, Tan Zhiguan's reputation is at the ceiling level in China.
Xiangjiang Satellite TV did not want to offend this king, so it arranged an episode of another program with a similar popularity and asked Tan Zhiguan, Xu Shangyan and the team of Mailin Records to participate.
The release of the new album is getting closer and closer.
Promotional activities for Ark Culture and Mailin Records are very intensively scheduled.
Fang Xing has a good relationship with Xiangjiang TV and Donghai TV, so he got promotional resources for weekend variety shows from both TVs.
Tan Zhiguan did not give in too much. He also contacted many domestic satellite TV stations and frequently recorded programs.
Moreover, Pengcheng Capital also spent a lot of money this time, making use of its connections, increasing publicity, and appearing on almost all the top ten satellite TV stations in the country.
Although the two companies are not openly at odds, the intensity of competition has reached its peak.
…
After chatting with Fang Xing, Wang Huajun decided to sign a contract with Guangguang Entertainment before going to record "Laughter Weekend".
Guangguang Entertainment is a brokerage company jointly owned by Fang Xing and Tong Fei. Fluorescent Girl, Shen Xiyin and Xu Menghan are all under Guangguang Entertainment.
However, Guangguang Entertainment does not have a dedicated dance troupe, so it does not have many resources in dance.
Of course, the girl group needs to dance.
So after Wang Huajun decided to sign with Guangguang Entertainment, Fang Xing arranged a position for him as a dance director, making him an employee of Guangguang Entertainment and an artist at the same time.
The reason why Wang Huajun is willing to sign with Guangguang Entertainment is because the other major shareholder of Guangguang Entertainment is Tong Fei.
Although he is very dissatisfied with the limited group contract, it is a problem of Chaoyin culture.
When he participated in "Tomorrow's Star", he had a good relationship with Tong Fei, the chief director.
Therefore, he did not hesitate for too long and signed with Guangguang Entertainment as the dance director, mainly responsible for the choreography of classical dance.
…
However, Wang Huajun has been preparing for his dance performance these two days.
Because I am going to Xiangjiang Satellite TV to record "Laughter Weekend" soon.
He has already communicated with the director team of "Laughter Weekend" and got the opportunity to perform on the show.
When the time comes, when Fang Xing sings, he will lead a dance troupe to accompany him. This is the stage he has dreamed of.
It can be said.
He has studied classical dance for more than 20 years, and his biggest dream is to appear on a well-known domestic TV station and perform on the show.
For this reason, he danced all the way from the dance troupe to "Tomorrow's Star" and even joined the Glacier Troupe, a limited group of Chaoyin Culture.
However, a company as big as Chaoyin Culture did not give him any valuable resources.
Over the past two years, he gradually felt that he was getting further and further away from the stage of his dreams.
However, the performance opportunity that he could not ask for in his dreams, the other party woke up and said, it was just a matter of one sentence.
Fang Xing wants to appear on "Laughter Weekend", so he can take him on board if he says hello to the directing team.
It's that simple.
For him, it is just a matter of one sentence for the other party to wake up and say something to a stage that he may not be able to reach even after a lifetime of hard work.
The difference is just that big.
In the past two years, Wang Huajun has personally witnessed Fang Xing make his debut in "Rising Star" and then go on a rampage, stepping on top of all the big names in the music and film circles.
That tyrannical gesture cannot be believed unless one has seen it with one's own eyes.
…
This time I went to Xiangjiang Satellite TV to record "Laughter Weekend", and not only Wang Huajun was there.
Fang Xing brought along all the teams related to the new album production.
Therefore, Lu Xiang'er is also among them.
She now endorses her own "Stream" series, so popularity is also very important to her.
As her popularity increases, the sales of the "Chuanliu" series will naturally increase accordingly.
Therefore, of course, this opportunity to be on the top domestic variety show cannot be missed.
Friday afternoon.
Fang Xing led the team to participate in the recording of "Laughter Weekend".
The team members took the stage in batches, and the first to take the stage were naturally Fang Xing, Lu Xiang'er, Zhang Yigao, Wang Huajun and other key members.
He Hao greeted each one: "Long time no see, I just woke up."
"Long time no see, Teacher He." Fang Xing waved to say hello.
It's been a long time since the last show.
After all, in the past six months, Fang Xing was either filming "The Beginning" or working on a new album, and had no chance to record Xiangjiang TV programs.
"This time Fang Xing is here to promote his new album. Let's look forward to it together. The new album "Refuse" will be released on August 2, the day the program is broadcast." He Hao first announced the main purpose of Fang Xing's recording of the program today.
.
Immediately afterwards, he continued to ask: "Does the album title "Refuse" have any special meaning? What are you dissatisfied with?"
Fang Xing smiled and replied: "Actually, the album title means literally. If you don't accept it, then do it!"
He Hao suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Just do it if you don't accept it. Is it so simple and clear?"
Fang Xing smiled and replied: "Yes, it's that simple and clear."
He Hao continued to ask other people: "What about Xiao Xiang? I heard that Mother Lu usually calls you this way? I rely on my old age to support my old age, is it okay to call you this way?"
Lu Xiang'er quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, my mother likes Teacher He very much. She reads every issue of "Laughter Weekend". She even asked me to become a member of Xiangguo Video."
"real?"
When He Hao heard this, he immediately looked at the director team and said clearly: "Did you hear that? Such a loyal audience, do you want to come to another annual meeting?"
The director team in the audience gave a thumbs up with both hands and replied with smiles on their faces: "Arrangement!"
He Hao continued to ask: "So Xiaoxiang, are you also participating in Fang Xing's album this time?"
Lu Xiang'er made a gesture of playing the piano: "Participate in the sound of the piano."
He Hao looked at Wang Huajun again and asked, "What about Hua Juan? In what form did he participate in Fang Xing's new album this time?"
"Dance participation." Wang Huajun nodded and replied.
"Hua Jun, I haven't been seen on TV in the past two years. Did you take a long break?" He Hao started to bring up the topic arranged by the director team.
On this topic, the management team of Guangguang Entertainment and the director team of "Laughter Weekend" have discussed this topic, and they will have an in-depth discussion on Wang Huajun's experiences in the past two years on the show to create a topic.
