This is certainly not Zhang Hong's favoritism for his distant cousin.
First of all, although he works with money and is paid, the songs have been composed anyway, so they can’t be wasted, right?
Otherwise, wouldn't he be called "the little guy from Luo City" in vain?
In this case, of course the song should be made as good as possible.
So he gave it a chance.
However, even if you were given a chance, it would be useless.
There's nothing you can do about it. Opportunities are given to you and you don't have the ability to seize them. You can't blame others.
For example, I Zhang someone.
If I wasn't really gifted and talented, and suddenly traveled through time and became a junior director of a third-rate fantasy and sad TV series, and the male and female protagonists were still contestants who wanted to cause trouble and stop acting, how could I be so awesome now?
Although the money earned is basically spent again.
But that doesn’t stop me from being awesome!
Yes, Zhang Hong is convinced that he has talent as a director.
As for the music…
I can sing, but I can't write songs.
But this doesn’t stop me from moving it, right?
Just the songs I played every day on my way to and from get off work were enough.
Opportunities always only come to those who are prepared.
Although you may not be able to seize big opportunities due to your own innate conditions, you should lay the foundation in advance so that when the opportunity that suits you comes, you can seize it, so that you will not regret it later.
This is the case for my little cousin Zhang Yuanying.
Because of the foundation she laid in the past, she can rap better than other students, so she can have more roles.
Although the others were unhappy, they didn't dare to argue.
Who doesn't have that ability?
A few days later, the song group's teachings were almost complete, and Zhang Hong's mission was initially completed.
After that, it was Wang Chen and Jiang Mengru's turn to take action.
The two of them will take the dance teacher invited by the program team to choreograph dances based on the songs of Zhang Hong and Li Xinran and then practice.
For the time being, nothing will happen without Zhang Hong and the others.
During the handover, the program team also specially filmed a handover ceremony.
At the shooting scene, Wang Chen saw Zhang Hong's relaxed expression and said with a smile: "Brother Hong, look at you like this, those girls are doing well?"
Zhang Hong smiled slightly: "Very hard."
It means working very hard, that is...
These three words are worthy of careful consideration.
The two of them were chatting happily, but Li Xinran's face turned dark.
What the hell is this?
To be honest, these past few days have been complete torture for him.
And if he stays there for a long time, he is afraid that he will not know how to rap in the future.
Every day when I lie on the bed in the hotel and close my eyes, my mind is filled with the wonderful performances of the "readers".
He quietly looked at Zhang Hong, who was looking relaxed not far away, and his face turned even darker.
What the hell should I do?
Now I can only pray that the rap written by Zhang Hong is enough to stretch my crotch.
At this time, his eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea.
Got it!
The focus of this program is on the students rather than the instructors, but we cannot let the students ruin the reputation of the instructors.
So he suddenly had a naughty idea.
When the student finishes his performance, he can suggest that the instructor perform another song!
In this way, it can show the students' shortcomings and efforts, and secondly, it can show the strength of the instructor!
By then, even if the students' performance is not as good as Zhang Hong's group, then he himself will not be bad either!
He has heard all of Zhang Hong's songs, and they are indeed great.
But he keenly discovered a weakness of Zhang Hong.
The ending songs in "Flags of Our Fathers" are generally majestic songs that can make people's blood boil or bring tears to their eyes.
But they are all too "big".
Including "The Wind Rises" is also a song written for the character "Fang Farewell" in the drama "Blood Youth".
Zhang Hong... doesn't seem to be able to write songs with less "big" intentions.
Such as love songs.
Or write songs about delicate women.
He writes songs that describe feelings about family, country, or men.
Then you can find a reason, for example, when a student is eliminated at the end of the first performance, write a song for those girls!
Zhang Hong would definitely not be able to write about a temporary assault!
The most he could do was sing "The Wind Rises".
But he, Li Xinran, is different!
There happened to be such a song in his album last year! And it was in the top ten of China’s best-selling golden songs list!
Okay! Just do it!
Jiang Mengru, who was chatting with him about the students, was confused.
Why does this little guy's expression change so interestingly?
Are you depressed now, then even more depressed, and then suddenly become happy again?
Could this be how young idols now manage their expressions when facing the camera?
Gee, today’s young idols are really getting worse and worse.
Unlike their time, idols always had a smile on their face.
............
Back at the hotel, Zhang Hong slipped away to complain to Lin Muqing as usual.
"It's really not possible, they. Is this rap so difficult? I'm looking for songs that are not that difficult. If I had used the songs you wrote for me before, I would probably be dying by now."
Hei Changzhi, who was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, raised his head and glanced at Zhang Hong, who was leaning on the chair opposite and performing a squinting expression. He said calmly, "Is it really that difficult?"
"It's too difficult." Zhang Hong sighed, "It's really hard to make money. If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken this job."
This is just talk.
There is nothing I can do, they gave me too much.
The guarantee is 20 million, and it will be even higher if you include the songs.
And the shooting time is about the same as when he shoots a TV series.
He worked very hard to sell "Clouds Falling in the Red Dust" for 30 million yuan.
"Mobile Suit" made five million.
"Blood Youth" earned 800,000 yuan, most of which was earned from songwriting.
Then "Flags of Our Fathers" hit it all.
No wonder many of the stars he knew in his previous life took several years to film a TV series or movie, but they usually appeared in variety shows every day, and there were various variety shows taking turns.
What the hell is the difference between this and robbing money? Maybe it’s not as tiring as filming.
And it can also increase his popularity. If he shoots a movie every few years, at most it will make others think that he is not just a simple variety show star.
Gee, if he hadn't been tortured during the filming of this show, he would have thought about making money through variety shows.
"Seeing that you are so unlucky, how about I tell you good news to make you happy?"
Zhang Hong raised his head and met those smiling eyes with clear black and white eyes.
He resisted the urge to look away, forced himself to look at those eyes, and said nonchalantly: "Oh? What other good news is there? You bought a lottery ticket in my name and won the special prize?"
"It's ten times better than this." Hei Changzhibai Fumei was obviously in a good mood, so he didn't care about Zhang Hong's teasing, "Your "Mobile Suit" will be broadcast on European and Fuso TV stations. And there is one more thing,
HBO in that country across the sea wants to buy the North American screening rights of "Mobile Suit", but the price they offered is not high. But Mr. Liang asked me, and I agreed for you."
Of course she is happy.
She believed that her talent was not as good as Zhang Hong's, and she couldn't bear to see Zhang Hong's talent being buried.
In that case, what does it mean for her to be arrogant? Then isn’t her arrogance ridiculous?
Therefore, she is the happiest person when Zhang Hong's talent can go to the world.
"Just sell it." Zhang Hong didn't care about this. Anyway, the money he sold was thrown into the evil consortium. "What I'm more concerned about is when will the company that Uncle Liang and I started selling plastic figures?"
.”
This is a money-grabbing business!
As for the overseas broadcast of "Mobile Suit"...
Tsk, none of his business.
No matter how high the ratings are, what else can he do?
After all, it's a TV series, not a movie.
After all, TV drama directors are different from movie directors.
You know who the directors of many classic movies are, even if you haven’t seen them.
But if you don’t look up many TV drama directors online, you won’t know who they are.
How many classic TV series in China can you tell immediately who directed them?
The same is true abroad.
In his previous life, he only knew many classic TV series produced by Netflix and HBO.
But who are the director and screenwriter?
If he didn't check it online, he really wouldn't know.
This is the difference between TV series and movies.
So why does everyone want to get involved in the film industry?
In addition to money and status, reputation is also very important.
Seeing that he didn't care, the smile in Lin Muqing's eyes grew stronger.
She moved her hair around her ears and asked inadvertently: "By the way, when will you finish recording the first episode? You can have a good rest then. Li Hua and my brother are very anxious. They
The script has been finalized and I'm just waiting for your word to start filming."
"It's almost time." Zhang Hong rubbed his brows, "In three or four days, after the dance team has finished everything, all that's left is to perform on stage for the first time. After the first performance, it will be officially over."
Then comes production and broadcast.
After the audience has finished voting with money, the eliminated girl will be selected in the second round.
Half of a hundred people were eliminated at once, and the program team was ruthless enough.
Lin Muqing nodded, "Well, then you can go back and rest. It's the right way to end it as soon as possible and go back. After all, variety shows are only used to adjust your life. Your job is still to be a director."
Zhang Hong originally wanted to say, "As long as I can make money to buy a house, I don't care."
But at this moment, his emotional intelligence suddenly came online and he didn't say such embarrassing words.
............
A few days later, the filming officially began with the first performance.
This one round will eliminate half of the people.
When these girls came on stage to perform, Li Xinran's expression was numb.
Sure enough, he was crushed head-on.
In fact, purely in terms of dance, the group led by Li Xinran was better than Zhang Hong's group.
It's a pity that the little girl named Zhang Yuanying is a bit outstanding.
When it comes to singing, I can't say that her singing skills are the best, she just... has that taste.
But Li Xinran doesn't care, because he already has a backup plan!
When it was the instructor's turn to comment, some of the girls who performed poorly were already crying. They knew that they might not be able to stay.
Wang Chen and Jiang Mengru encouraged each other, and then when it was Li Xinran's turn, he started.
"You do have many shortcomings, but I have also seen your serious efforts and vitality. Teacher Zhang and I each have a song to give to you, which can be regarded as an encouragement to you."
His song is called "Girl".
You can tell what song this is just from the title.
It tells the story of a girl's first love and her hard work.
If you look at Zhang Hong's previous life, he would probably be a low-profile version of "Sunshine Otaku" with unlimited sexual transformation.
Behind the cameras in the audience, Lu Yue and Sun Cheng looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly.
Of course they don't know about this.
But what is "predictability conflict"?
That's it.
This was originally planned by them, and they even had a grudge against Zhang Hong.
But that was after the third period, not now.
But there’s no need to stop it, right?
After saying a few words in the ear, Li Xinran took the microphone and went on stage.
The prelude to "Girl" was also played backstage.
I have to say that he sang very seriously.
Zhang Hong also sat up slightly.
This song... is really good, even many girls who think their grades are not good are crying and laughing.
Zhang Hong feels that his view of traffic stars has changed a bit.
In the past, Luo Jun and Wang Chen had excellent acting skills, and now Li Xinran can become the most popular brother. It seems that he is not just a showman.
After the performance, Li Xinran returned to the guest seat and looked at Zhang Hong with burning eyes.
You finally looked at me seriously! And this time, I will not only step on you to get the upper hand, but at the very least I will suppress you and make you remember me!
I, Li Xinran, can also have a name!
My name is not Wang Chen!
When it was Zhang Hong's turn to take the stage, Zhen Wang Chen received the news from the director team through his ears, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Hong, which song should I play for you? "The Wind Rises"?
"
"No need." Zhang Hong smiled slightly, "Just give me a guitar."
Wang Chen was slightly stunned.
The directing team in the audience was also a little confused.
What does this mean?
Could it be...
When the others were in hand, Zhang Hong fiddled with them twice.
He raised his head and chuckled: "I've been having a cold these days, so I'll sing a slow song for you."
Lu Yue and Sun Cheng looked at each other and secretly said that it was true!
This is a new song written on the spot!
They can almost recite Zhang Hong's songs by heart.
Except for the song "The Wind Rises", the others are not really slow songs.
Moreover, Li Xinran directly decided that it was a song for girls. Zhang Hong’s previous songs were not like this.
Wang Chen and Jiang Mengru, who was staying away from the incident, both looked forward to it. Only Li Xinran, who was looking at the other Zhang Hong calmly and calmly, suddenly had a bad feeling.
After getting familiar with the guitar, Zhang Hong smiled slightly and played the intro.
