Some Americans today are as "ignorant" as the people of the Qing Dynasty more than a hundred years ago.
They only see their own country in their eyes, as if other countries besides them are extremely backward "barbarians".
However, the world is constantly changing, and the tides are turning. No one will always be left behind, and no one will always be ahead.
Just like now.
Hu Shuo spent 500 million U.S. dollars to make a movie. Americans don't believe it, because in their minds, no company in the United States even spends 500 million U.S. dollars to make a movie, let alone all aspects of it.
The Chinese people are completely backward!
"If you can't invite top-tier singers, then you'll have to settle for the next best thing..."
Hu Shuo thought for a while and then said: "If it doesn't work, just find a few capable newcomers and give it a try."
Hu Shuo's original idea was to find a top-tier singer to sing the theme song of "Titanic". After all, top-tier singers are well-known enough to promote the theme song to more people as quickly as possible.
However, since those big first-line singers are not willing to cooperate, then they will find capable singers to sing. Anyway, Hu Shuo is still confident in the song "My Heart Will Go On". However, if he finds an unknown singer,
Singers who want to sing need to put more thought into publicity and promotion.
"Then I'll arrange an audition for the singer as soon as possible in the next two days."
"Yeah." Hu Shuo nodded.
The group arrived at the hotel. Since it was a long flight, the first thing they did was to get rid of the jet lag.
After dinner, Hu Shuo went back to the room to take a bath and prepare to take a nap.
Just when Hu Shuo was about to go to bed, a music program playing on TV caught his attention.
This is a music talent show. All the singers on the stage are amateurs. There are four judges on site. If three people press the green light, it means that the contestant has passed the promotion.
At this moment, a girl was singing on TV. This girl didn't look particularly outstanding, but her singing skills were good. Hu Shuo had never heard of the song she sang, but even though it was such an unfamiliar song, it made Hu Shuo very happy.
To be moved.
Looking at the girl singing on TV, Hu Shuo suddenly had a bold idea.
He immediately took out his mobile phone and took a video of the girl singing, and then sent it directly to Wang Qi.
"Contact this girl and see if she is signed to a record company. Also, invite her to come to the company for a sound audition!"
Hu Shuo issued instructions to Wang Qi.
"OK!"
Soon, Hu Shuo received a reply from Wang Qi.
The next day.
Chuangshi Entertainment Overseas Branch.
Wang Qi directly handed him the information about the girl Hu Shuo saw on TV yesterday.
"This girl's name is Celine Dion. She is Canadian and currently studying in the United States. She has not signed with any record company. However, she performed well in the music program "Future Stars" and advanced to the next round.
During the game.”
Celine Dion??
Hu Shuo laughed when he heard this name. Although it was a parallel time and space, many things were coincidences. The name was almost the same as that of the great singer from another time and space, and both of them were Canadians.
"Have you contacted her?" Hu Shuo asked.
"We have contacted her and informed her that she is here for a sound audition. She is very interested in our invitation and will arrive in the afternoon!"
Wang Qi paused and then said: "By the way, I received a reply from a famous American singer last night, saying that she is willing to cooperate with us, but her asking price is relatively high."
"Is he a famous singer?"
"Well, it's very famous!"
Wang Qi nodded: "What a coincidence, she is one of the judges of the show "Future Star", Kardashian."
"In that case, let's invite her to audition. Although I hope that a high-profile singer will sing the theme song of "Titanic", the most important thing is to have it be good and make the song perfect.
Act it out.”
Hu Shuo looked serious.
"OK, then I'll notify her for an audition. However, singers like her don't have schedules at all times. You might have to wait a few days."
"As long as she can sing well, it doesn't matter how many days she waits."
Hu Shuo shrugged.
"Okay, then I will ask the staff to contact her agent immediately."
After saying this, Wang Qi immediately went to make arrangements to contact Kardashian.
About ten minutes later, he returned to the office happily.
"Mr. Hu, we are really lucky. Kardashian is taking photos nearby and said that she could find time to come over for an interview in the afternoon."
"That's the best!"
Hu Shuo nodded.
Although Hu Shuo likes Celine Dion's name very much, from the perspective of song promotion, having a well-known American singer sing the theme song of "Titanic" will naturally promote the song and the entire movie.
All are beneficial.
afternoon.
Hu Shuo and Wang Qi had lunch together in the canteen of Dreamland.
Not long after lunch, a staff member informed that Kardashian and her party had arrived at the gate of the manor.
Fifteen minutes later.
Hu Shuo met the American singer and her manager Sam Berg in the company's reception room.
Yesterday while watching "Future Star", Hu Shuo saw this Kardashian on TV. She looked thinner in person than on TV, but this thinness is only relative speaking. Her appearance is more in line with the United States.
In people's aesthetics, the places that should be highlighted are very prominent, and even give people a sense of oppression.
"I didn't expect you to be so young. I thought the person who was willing to spend 500 million US dollars to make a movie must be someone older than me..."
Samberg said with a smile on his face. As Kardashian's manager, he naturally takes the lead in negotiations.
"You are very young."
Hu Shuo responded, Samberg looked about fifty years old, had bald hair, and looked very shrewd.
It can be seen from his name that he must be a Jew, because usually Jewish names have XX Berg after them.
After a few more polite words from both sides, Samberg got straight to the point: "Kardashian and I feel very honored to receive your invitation, and Kardashian rarely sings for movies, so once she
Singing the theme song for your movie has an undoubted influence..."
"Of course, Kardashian's price tag is not comparable to that of unknown people."
"$3.3 million!"
"This is her reward for singing."
Samberg quoted the price directly.
"3.3 million?"
After hearing this number, Hu Shuo smiled. The price should be more than three times her usual price. Before this, Hu Shuo also did some homework. Generally, the top American singers sing for movies, and the highest
The price tag will not exceed US$1 million.
Even if Kardashian's usual price is 1 million, this offer is more than three times her usual price!
However, the price is not Hu Shuo's biggest concern. After all, he can afford it, but what he cares most about is how well the other party can sing.
"Price is not my biggest concern. If Kardashian's performance can meet my expectations, everything is easy to negotiate. Of course, if Kardashian's performance is not what I want, even if it is 10,000 US dollars, I will
