Chapter 70 The dream linkage belonging to Wei Yang
"Twinkle Twinkle Star" doesn't have many scenes. The whole show only has 24 episodes, and 80% of the scenes revolve around the male and female protagonists.
Once Wei Yang and Liu Shishi picked up the speed, the filming progress of the entire drama also continued to accelerate.
At this rate, as long as the filming goes smoothly, it is expected to be completed in mid-September or even early September.
Unable to rest, Wei Yang started to make extra money again...
At night, Wei Yang knocked on Liu Shishi's room with two takeout boxes.
Qi Wei, who was wearing a facial mask, opened the door and saw Wei Yang. He was already used to his behavior of visiting the house at night, and pointed to the bathroom.
"Shi Shi is taking a bath, please wait a moment."
Wei Yang shook his head: "It's okay, I mainly came to see you this time."
Qi Wei was stunned and blurted out: "Three of us, can Shi Shi agree?"
"..."
Wei Yang had a black line on his face: "Can your mind be healthier? What are you thinking about every day? I have something serious to do with you."
Qi Wei also knew that he was thinking wrong. He was a female driver who drove every day, so he couldn't help but blush, but she was still very good at deflecting the blame.
"Who will let you two get tired of being in front of me every day, who will not be attracted to you after watching them for a long time?"
"If you really can't stand it, you can discuss it with Shi Shi. If she agrees, I'm famous for being a warm-hearted person and I never go out of my way to help my friends."
"Just go and die."
Qi Wei cursed, then let the person in, wearing cool shorts and a shirt, and sat down on the bed carelessly.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"No rush, let's have some midnight snacks and chat while we eat."
The crew finished work a little late today, and Wei Yang thought that both of them were probably hungry, so he came over with a midnight snack.
"Okay, I guess you're distracted, oh, spicy crayfish, cold rabbit."
Qi Wei looked at his two favorite dishes and looked at Wei Yang in confusion: "What do you mean, you won't really ask me to clean up the bed to make room for you after eating, right?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you sleep on the street. If not, just wait at the door and let you in after midnight."
"Oh, then I have to thank you."
"You're welcome."
The two of them were teasing each other, and Liu Shishi also came out of the bathroom to take a shower. He must have heard some noise from inside. When he came out, he had already changed his clothes, which made Wei Yang smack his lips with regret.
Liu Shishi found a clean towel, wrapped his hair in it, and curiously sat down next to Wei Yang.
"How did you come?"
"I'll give you some midnight snacks. I have something to do with Brother Qi by the way."
"Hey~"
Qi Wei couldn't help but make trouble: "That's not what you said just now. Didn't you say that the Lord came to find me?"
Wei Yang raised his hand: "I'm reporting it. Just now Seventh Brother said three..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Wei rushed over to him and covered his mouth. His brain was so hot that he could be brave in front of Wei Yang, but he was really embarrassed to let the second party know about it.
"I was wrong, I was wrong."
Qi Wei opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but Wei Yang shut up. Liu Shishi asked curiously, but Qi Wei made an excuse to deal with it.
Wei Yang's late-night snacks were bought with great care, and they fit the taste of Qi Wei, a Sichuan girl, and Liu Shishi also loved them.
Although she is from the capital city, she loves spicy food and enjoyed the two dishes of spicy crayfish and cold rabbit. Wei Yang, on the other hand, only ate cold rabbit and barely tasted crayfish.
It's not that he doesn't like to eat, it's mainly because he finds it troublesome and lazy to prepare it. Liu Shishi saw it and helped him pick up the shrimps and feed them to him.
Qi Wei, who was eating very happily, suddenly felt that the crayfish in his hand was not so delicious, and stared at Wei Yang angrily.
"Tell me what you want from me."
"Aren't you a singer by profession? I want to ask if you know anyone from Haidie?"
"I know him, but I'm not very familiar with him."
Qi Wei was confused: "How come you have heard about Haidie and want to release a record?"
The so-called diversified development is very popular in the entertainment industry these days. Singers come to the film and television industry to film, and actors go to the music industry to release singles and records.
For example, Hu Ge from Tang Dynasty released an album in May this year and sang one of the theme songs/interludes of "Orange in Huainan" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
So when Wei Yang asked Hai Die, Qi Wei instinctively thought that he had plans to release a record.
"I'm not releasing an album. I just want to find out how much it costs for Lin Junjie to record a song?"
"Several hundred thousand, he's quite popular now."
2008 was the most popular period for singers in Taiwan. Jay Chou dominated the music scene, and singers such as Lin Junjie, Wang Wang, and Cai Yilin became more popular one after another.
If you want them to accept an order to record songs, the price will definitely not be cheap, and it also depends on whether they accept it or not.
Wei Yang nodded, decisively passed this person, and thought about it in his heart.
"Are you familiar with Zhang Jie?"
"It's okay. We had dinner together, but it's not cheap to find him. "Happy Boys" is in full swing."
"What's the approximate price?"
"I can't tell you exactly, but I guess it will cost more than 300,000 yuan."
Wei Yang couldn't help but grin: "Is it so profitable to be a singer? 300,000 yuan for recording a song?"
"Brother, I'm famous right now. If you want to find me, I'll hire you for 30,000 to 50,000 yuan."
"Forget it, then let Shi Shi sing."
"What's the meaning?"
Qi Wei directly exploded: "Look down on me? I am one of the top ten in the country in "My Style, My Show", and the best duet award in the global Chinese song ranking. Find out."
"I've never heard of it, so don't get the pheasant prize."
After being led by Qi Weila to do some popular science on the value of this global Chinese entertainment song ranking award, Wei Yang turned back to the topic.
"I don't know much about your industry, so I can do you a favor and find a young singer who is good at singing, male, and a little popular. It would be better, but the most important thing is that it is cheap."
"Is this the theme song and interlude of our drama?"
Wei Yang nodded and didn't hide anything: "I found someone to prepare the accompaniment. I originally wanted to sing it myself, but later I found it was a bit difficult."
"Do you have a demo? I'll listen to it."
After all, they had been filming together for almost two months, so there was still a level of trust. Wei Yang went back to his room to get his laptop and played a song demo for Qi Wei.
For the drama "Twinkle Twinkle Star", Wei Yang wrote four songs in one breath, including the opening and ending credits + two interludes, and obtained a budget of 300,000 from Cai Yinong.
Considering that the Tang Dynasty was more professional, Wei Yang also made some money. The cost of arrangement and accompaniment plus post-production recording and production was estimated to be about 100,000.
As a result, the budget left for singers is relatively limited.
So Wei Yang simply went out to pack two songs in person, and asked Liu Shishi to sing another song, saving more than half of the budget.
There was another song that required a certain amount of singing skills. Wei Yang tried it himself, but the effect was not good, so he had to hire other singers.
Wei Yang actually didn't know much about the music scene. All he knew about were well-known singers, and he thought he could create a wave of popularity. But now after asking about the price, he felt that singers who live cheaply are not bad.
"These songs are not bad."
After listening to the demo, Qi Wei's eyes were full of color. Liu Shishi next to him looked at Wei Yang with moist eyes.
A talented man is definitely a very attractive plus in the eyes of the opposite sex...
Wei Yang was relatively calm. After all, he knew what was going on and introduced four songs.
"The whole world is behind you" and "The whole world is behind me" are interludes. Shi Shi and I happened to sing one song each, and they fit the characters and the situation.
"Light Chaser" and "11" are theme songs. I can do the former, but the latter requires a high falsetto voice. I can't sing it well, so I have to find someone else."
"The whole world is behind you" and "The whole world is behind me" are the theme songs of the original "Twinkle Twinkle Star", and are now used by Wei Yang.
As for "11", it is sung by Internet singer Captain Huang Lige. The song style fits the drama "Twinkle Twinkle Shining Star" very well. The most interesting thing is that it also combines many elements and is used by many drama fans.
When editing the BGM.
When Wei Yang was thinking about the theme song before, he also added this song. After all, in terms of popularity and quality, "11" is more popular and better than the two songs in the original drama.
As for "Light Chaser", this song is relatively famous.
It is the theme song of "The Summer Solstice Is Not Here" and is also a representative of the famous songs that come out of bad movies.
In my previous life, this song was considered a hit. It once dominated all major charts and was ranked among the top ten pop songs in 2017. It also has a long aftertaste and is still very popular in 2018~2019.
The song "Light Chaser" is about secret love, so it is very suitable to be used in the drama "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
It is particularly worth mentioning that this song was not only used by Wei Yang in the drama "Twinkle Twinkle Star", but was also sold to the crew of "Orange in Huainan" for 80,000 yuan.
After all, "Orange in Huainan" is also a story of secret love, so the song "Light Chaser" is naturally also applicable.
The crew of "Twinkle Twinkle Star" has Wei Yang, the man she has a crush on, Zhang Wansen singing, and the crew of "Orange in Huainan" has arranged for Zhao Ji, who plays the heroine Luo Zhi, to sing.
And what's very interesting is that the character Zhang Wansen is known as "Secret Love Ceiling", and Luo Zhi also has this nickname.
Now, here we go, the male and female version of [Secret Love on the Ceiling] written by the same screenwriter, singing the same secret love song written by the same screenwriter.
To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a kind of dream linkage belonging to Wei Yang.
What's more important is that Wei Yang made two companies money with one song, and after this wave of linkage, the two crews have to thank him for providing a hot publicity point.
Low emotional intelligence: eating two things out of one fish is shameless
High emotional intelligence: working hard for a win-win situation
But no matter what, Wei Yang can sell this song, and both families agree that this is his ability, and the quality of the song "Light Chaser" may also bring a wave of popularity to Wei Yang
.
Although Wei Yang has no plans to become a singer for the time being, if he can gain a wave of popularity, why not do it.
With his masterpiece song, he may be able to take on a few commercial performances. He is short of money now, otherwise he would not bother to make extra money.
Although these ten or two hundred thousand are a drop in the bucket compared to what Wei Yang needs right now, if you don't accumulate steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles. No matter how few flies are, they are still meat.
…
"How about it? Is there any suitable candidate?"
Wei Yang explained his specific requirements and then asked Qi Wei, who thought about it for a while.
"It's actually not difficult to find your conditions. How much is your budget?"
"50000."
Qi Wei felt even more confident: "This price can satisfy many people. Leave it to me and I will give you an answer in a few days."
Wei Yang nodded and poured himself a glass of juice: "Thank you, Seventh Brother, for replacing the wine with tea. I will arrange a feast for you later."
“There’s no rush for a great meal.”
Qi Wei looked at Wei Yang with burning eyes: "If you really want to thank me, why not sell my song? Don't worry, you decide the price and I will never treat you badly."
"Well, I don't have much inspiration for a while..."
Wei Yang didn't refuse, but he didn't agree directly either. His inventory was also limited, so he had to look around to see if there was anything suitable.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can take your time and think about it."
The few songs just now made Qi Wei see Wei Yang's "musical talent". If he was lucky enough to get a song of the "Light Chaser" level, he would make a lot of money.
"Come on, Brother Yang, eat some shrimp and I'll peel them for you."
With the carrot dangling, Qi Wei's attitude toward Wei Yang became attentive, and he even helped peel the shrimp.
Wei Yang sucked Liu Shishi's finger as he fed him shrimps. After getting a roll of his eyes, he looked at Qi Wei slightly bored.
"I still like your unruly look just now, please recover."
Qi Wei: "..."
Can the lobster claws of this crayfish stab someone to death?
