Old Wu put the documents on Tang Ze's desk and couldn't help but sigh:
"Mr. Tang, those bank staff are so snobbish. They were not willing to lend us a penny because our script was deducted."
"As a result, I showed the certificate of lifting the ban, and they immediately valued our movie at 30 million. Their faces turned faster than flipping through the pages of a book. They were just fagots!"
Tangze smiled. After the script was approved, it would take some time to make the ringtone. He thought that the fastest way to obtain funds was to get a loan.
Although Lao Wu said it simply, he knew that two days ago, Lao Wu blocked the door of other people's houses in order to gamble with bank staff.
At that time, Lao Wu spent seven days and seven nights, harassing people almost all the time, and drank all his words.
But obviously, no one is optimistic about a director leaving the industry to start a company.
Even though Karasawa once sold "This Man Came From Earth" to Netflix, everyone felt that it was because of the quality of the film itself, rather than because of his strong capital.
After all, it is a huge loan, and other people will be fooled by Tang Ze's identity. The bank staff has already investigated Tang Ze's background through their upper-level connections.
I have no background at all, and I don’t know what I think about starting a company with such qualifications. Isn’t it good to make movies?
It wasn't until the certificate for lifting the ban on raw electricity was finally decentralized that the bank staff realized that it was not simple.
How could a director like Tang Ze influence the stubborn department judges of Randian and get them to revoke their previous ban?
Isn't this equivalent to slapping themselves in the face?
It seems that due to the above relationship, the background check on Tangze’s identity is wrong!
Therefore, in order to make up for their previous neglect, a group of bank staff tried their best to increase the valuation of Tangze's film, directly estimating it to 30 million.
Don’t think 30 million is too small. In today’s era, mainland movies can earn more than 30 million a year, so having more than ten movies would be good.
And most of the movies with over 30 million yuan either have a luxurious cast, a lot of actors from Hong Kong, or are the works of big directors.
The real hit this year is actually "The Secret That Cannot Be Told".
It's just that Zhou Jielun has his own traffic, and the film cost is 10 million Hong Kong dollars. It is a small and medium-sized production, so it is not surprising to achieve that result.
If it weren't for the amazing phenomenon-level movie "This Man Comes from Earth".
"The Cameras Don't Stop!", which cost hundreds of thousands, can have an estimated box office of 10 million, even if he is a top student at the University of Southern California.
Looking back at "Crazy Stone", which was also a hit in 2006, the cost was more than 3.5 million, which is too far behind.
You get what you pay for, this is the basic understanding that everyone has.
Tang Ze stood up, looked at the documents, and said in surprise: "They are actually willing to lend us 10 million? That's quite generous! Yes, then Old Wu..."
Tang Ze took out 5 folders with music scores from the drawer and handed them to Lao Wu:
"Bring these 5 scores to the sound engineers and instruct them to let the artists cooperate in the recording outside of filming."
"Also, now that we have a batch of funds for the time being, you go and recruit a few cheaper MV directors...wait a minute, first ask Wen Ying and others if they are willing to shoot, and if so, leave it to them."<
/p>
"In short, these 5 songs are all going to be shot into MVs, and the specifics of how to shoot them are all explained in the folder."
After thinking about it, Tang Ze added: "Inform Tang Yirong that a film launch conference will be held tomorrow. It's time to shut up those who are still making up the rhythm on the Internet!"
Old Wu looked at Tang Ze's slightly tired expression and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just said:
"Okay, Mr. Tang, I'll go down first, please take a good rest!"
After Lao Wu left, Tang Ze immediately relaxed and slumped on the sofa.
The movie will be filmed tomorrow.
But these days he is writing songs and contacting companies such as China Mobile and banks, so he has no time to rest at all.
I’m really tired!
I really don’t know how Lao Wu can be so busy every day and still not look tired at all.
Of course, if you can make money, everything is worth it!
He can't wait to see the power of the five divine songs.
Among the 5 songs, Huo Jianxi sang solo, and Tang Ze chose "Brother is Just a Legend".
Needless to say, the influence of this song has become a hit since it was first released, and it is a must-learn song for many middle school students.
In terms of voice, Huo Jianxi is not as magnetic as the original singer, but he is handsome enough!
Coupled with the MV, it will undoubtedly add a stronger pretentious color to this song.
In order to give full play to Huo Jianlei's expertise, he customized a parallel time and space script, one ancient and one modern, with both lines shot simultaneously.
The type is fateful love. The heroine was saved in ancient times and also in modern times.
It can not only increase the sense of immersion of modern people, but also bring out Huo Jianlei’s ancient costume look.
In later generations, this song also indirectly gave rise to the memes "Brother is just a legend" and "Don't be obsessed with brother". It can be said that it has been popular until later generations.
The duet between Shen Teng and Ma Li is naturally the number one hit at the end of the ring, "Love Business".
If you have watched the Masked Singer program on Ma Li in later generations, you will know that Ma Li is definitely an all-round entertainer, and her singing skills are probably the best among the four.
If she sings it, I won't say it's better than the original one, but it won't be too bad.
The resume of this song can actually be represented by the fact that it was shortlisted for the "Best Mandarin Song of the Year in the 3rd Chinese Golden Melody Awards".
Although it is a fast-paced song, it has been recognized by the musician to some extent.
Before BAT, the three giants of the Internet, entered the market, whether it was Bayan, Xiangjiang, or the Mainland, the Golden Melody Awards actually had great credibility.
Even Zhou Jielun dare not say that he can win the award every year.
Later, the three giants disrupted the market, and Douyin brought the market to the era of fast songs and saliva songs, and the evaluation of golden songs became a complete traffic and data game.
Moreover, this song has been featured on several David TV Spring Festival Galas, which shows that it is deeply loved by many people.
There is nothing innovative about the MV. It is enough to have a goofy and earthy feeling.
It's Zhao Liying's turn for three songs.
The first song, "Learning to Meow"!
That’s right, it’s this meow god who is known as the king of saliva songs, and once brainwashed the Internet into a meow song.
As soon as this song came out, it became instantly popular all over the Internet, but it was pretty close.
At least because of its popularity at the time, Billboard Radio China, a music platform in the United States, actually rated this song one of the top ten Chinese golden songs.
Tangze just wanted to ask, doesn’t the United States pride itself on being a cultural power? Shouldn’t it abide by its own artistic bottom line?
Even if you bow down to politics, you have to bow down to the hot pomegranate skirt. Where is your pride?
No wonder it has been difficult for American Internet products to enter the mainland, which has not even touched the cultural fringes of China.
Even a common man like Tangze plans to release these five songs under the stage name "Old Monster" to avoid unnecessary trouble of war of words.
He doesn't need to be overexposed before the movie is released.
Of course, popularity comes with popularity. One unpleasant thing is that this song actually plagiarized Xu Liang's "Constellation Lovers" released in 2014.
When someone pointed this out at the time, they were fooled by the words "This is a slang song, not plagiarism."
Regarding this, Tangze himself can't say anything. There are actually many songs that have been exposed as plagiarized, and there are also many singers.
He has a strong conscience. When copying songs or movies, he must investigate the current situation clearly and avoid crashing.
As for the chorus in the original version, it is actually completely unnecessary and the male part is superfluous.
For a song like this, it’s enough to be cute and meow-like!
The second song, "Love You at 105℃"!
In fact, the popularity of this song was not that exaggerated when it first came out, but it just has a kind of magic that makes people easily cover it, and most of the people who cover it and become popular are men.
For example, Tenggeer, a high-quality male who can sing everything.
As a result, this song has a greasy, sandy and bloody meaning.
Later, more and more people sang covers, and with his refreshing rhythm, officials also joined in the fun. "People's Daily" judged it among the top ten BGMs in 2021.
Hotspots are always driven by chain effects, and the number of people singing covers is also a hot spot.
As for dancing, it can be simple, but the accompanying dancers must be luxurious.
He plans to release the greasy man in advance to enhance the dramatic effect.
It's best to temporarily steal Zhao Liying's limelight, then the song won't be far away from becoming a hit.
The popularity is long-lasting, which is why Tang Ze chose this song.
The third song, "Ordinary DISCO"!
Well...there is no doubt that it is another magical brainwashing song.
I have no choice but to make money to support my family.
If you want people to be willing to order ringtones, the more magical the nature, the better.
The original version of this song was sung by two virtual singers. In 2023, it is still the most clicked virtual singer's work on Beilibili.
It once caused disco and DJ craze, and has been covered by many singers many times, including Wang Feng and Fenghuang Legend.
In fact, Tang Ze originally wanted to choose the more magical "Dala Benba", but the lyrics of the song were hot on the lips and he was afraid that people wouldn't be able to sing it.
Of course, in fact, the three songs selected by Tang Ze are all slightly avant-garde works. Once people of this era cannot accept them, it will be in vain.
However, "Nobody" was able to become popular throughout the Asia-Pacific in 2008, which is enough to show that avant-garde is not a problem, as long as it is magical enough and brainwashing.
If it weren't for the fact that the company didn't have people who knew how to speak Bangzi, he would have thrown "Gangnam Style" out and blown it up in Europe and the United States.
