On October 1st, the whole country celebrates, and the highway is full of cars.
It took more than three hours to walk from morning to afternoon before returning home, but Xiaobao didn't feel much.
More than a dozen crew members chose to stay a few more days, and a group of directors were also retained.
Xiaobao declined with a smile. He was still hungover. After getting in the car, he drank a bottle of water and went back to sleep. The assistant woke him up. He didn't feel it was too hard. Instead, he woke up from the alcohol and felt all over his body.
Comfortable.
Ask the assistant to drive the car away directly, give them a holiday, and return home.
Well, clean and bright.
The company knew that the boss was coming back, so it arranged for the housekeeping aunt to clean up the house in advance. The smell of the sun was still on the quilt.
"Oops!" Qin Xiaobao put the suitcase in the living room and turned on the computer.
In total, I slept for more than ten hours and could not rest anymore.
True to his word, my brother sent a car to pick up Yaya in the morning and they went to the airport together. It was estimated that they would have almost boarded the plane by now. Her former boss was also accompanying him, so she was quite relieved.
During the National Day holiday, employees can take a break, but Xiaobao cannot.
There is no need to rush the movie, there are basically no computer special effects, and no extra time is needed. The bearded director knows exactly what shots he needs, and the editor also has no room to play.
Many times, directors and editors work completely independently because investors don't allow it.
There are many reasons for this.
The most common issue is the length. Editors consider the audience completely. Ninety minutes is normal. After exceeding it, the audience will feel impatient and want to go to the toilet, which is also not conducive to the turnover of the theater.
But for the director, if a certain plot is cut, he will think that the story becomes incomplete and the characters are not fleshed out.
Next is the storytelling.
Many directors have proven with practical actions that they can shoot, but not necessarily edit, and the results are completely confusing.
Finally, it is the so-called artistry. The director is for the work, and the editor is for the profit from the perspective of the investor.
The filming of "This Man Came From Earth" was carried out systematically. It was basically communication between eight people, from shallow to deep, and the links were very tight. There was basically no redundancy.
All the editor can do is select the best one from several shots, which doesn't take much time.
As for theater distribution, it is not something he needs to worry about. Liu Minghua is currently busy with it.
Qin Xiaobao's mission is mainly the album.
Ever since the end of the Venice Film Festival, fans have been looking forward to it. They waited until "The Masked Singer" was unveiled, but it hasn't come out yet, and it's been too long.
Popularity is limited. Even if the song is classic, but the sound source cannot be found to download, it will be forgotten sooner or later.
Therefore, he had to act quickly.
"The songs sung on "The King of Masked Singer" must be taken out again," Xiaobao moved the mouse and pulled the recording file into the folder: ""Let's Break Up", "The Love of a Lifetime"...
There are four songs in total, eh, I only sang four songs in six episodes?"
He frowned and recalled, it seemed like, oh, the semi-finals and finals of the first period, the second and third periods were all singing competitions, and only one song was sung.
Then here comes the problem.
Deng Ziqi sold three songs, one by He Jiong, five by Andy Lau, and one by Brother.
Take them all and review them all. The number of albums is enough.
However, the songs of the latter two big guys haven’t been released yet.
Liu Tianwang hurried back this time just for the album. The recording was completed, but the MV shooting was delayed again and again.
After many years of making a big impact, he must have spent a lot of money. I heard that the investment in the MV for the title song will be nearly 10 million. No matter from any angle, he has no reason to release it first.
Eight songs, 4-5 more to go.
There are a lot of song titles in the file. What bothers Xiaobao is not that there are no songs, but that his album is very messy.
I didn't plan it well at first, I sang it as soon as I thought of it. The styles of the songs were quite different, so it was a bit messy.
As a fan listener, it doesn't really matter, as long as the song is good, I don't even care about the language, let alone the style.
But there are many professionals waiting in the circle. If you sell well, they will find fault with you. If you sell poorly, not to mention, there will definitely be a lot of gossip.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Xiaobao made up his mind, I chose it as I like, and then I closed my eyes and pulled the mouse, and it was done.
Recording the songs didn't take much time. He had already entered the studio for several previous songs and had them ready-made. He could finish them in three days at most.
As for the MV, we will discuss it with Liu Minghua tomorrow.
On October 2, Qin Xiaobao took a taxi to the company and found that not only Liu Minghua and Xiang Yang were there, but employee Luo Zhongyu also appeared in the office.
"Why don't you have a holiday?" He took the tea poured by the other party.
The young man smiled honestly: "I haven't finished the tasks assigned by Mr. Liu, so I don't want to take a vacation."
"It's not like he knew we were coming and came here specifically to show off." Xiangyang arrived three minutes earlier than Xiaobao.
Liu Minghua smiled and helped him: "Ronaldino was working overtime yesterday. I asked him to find a director who is good at shooting music videos, so he has been reading information and making phone calls."
"Well, you did a good job. So, Mr. Liu, tell the finance department that since you work overtime, you still have to be paid, 1:3, right?"
"No need, Mr. Qin, it's your job."
"Then no need." Qin Xiaobao simply nodded.
Luo Zhongyu:...I'm just being polite!
"Okay, since we are here, let's have a meeting together and you can take notes." Xiaobao walked straight to the conference room.
The two bosses have been away for more than half a month, but the company is still developing.
"Our company currently only has Mr. Qin and Phoenix Legend as artists," Liu Minghua prepared a PPT: "Let's talk about our group first. Since "Above the Moon" became popular, the two of them are not very popular, but their recognition is surprisingly high. There is no
There are situations where popular singers are not popular.
So far, she has accepted two commercials, appeared on more than a dozen satellite TV programs, and had countless commercial performances. She can develop steadily in her unique style. Linghua hopes that when Mr. Qin is free, she will be able to do it almost
It’s time to help write a new song.”
"Well, I get it. I think we can set the style of the two of them a little higher, so they don't necessarily go to commercial performances in small places." Xiaobao suggested.
"It's already being implemented. We don't have time to attend small commercial performances now." Liu Minghua clicked the page-turning pen, and a row of dates appeared on the projection: "This is their schedule for this month, and it is already fully booked."
"So busy!" Xiang Yang was surprised.
October 1st: Guangzhou Satellite TV Party,
October 2: Guangzhou Radio, Guangzhou TV,
October 3rd: Hangzhou “Flower Festival” Concert,
October 4th:...
"Don't mention it, although many people on the Internet think Phoenix Legend's songs are high and rural heavy metal, but once they came on stage, the atmosphere was enthusiastic, so everyone was willing to invite them." Liu Minghua explained.
"The schedule should be arranged more reasonably. Don't get sick because of fatigue. The gain outweighs the loss." Xiaobao is not a capitalist, so there is no need to exploit him desperately. The correct way is to keep the water steady.
"I have mentioned it before, but the two of them are also working very hard." Liu Minghua sighed: "I can feel that they are a little scared, afraid that if the heat is over, they will suddenly be knocked back to their original shape, so they want to take advantage of this period to make more money.
money."
"Okay," Xiaobao said without any reluctance: "Remind their assistants to take good care of them."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin is next." Liu Minghua changed the page: "So far, the studio has received a total of 337 program invitations, 189 radio stations, 106 interviews, 11 movie scripts, and 29 TV series scripts...
.”
"Fuck!" Xiaobao couldn't help but cursed: "Why don't you be so exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration. If it weren't for the holidays, this number would have increased." Liu Minghua was a little proud. Who could have such an artist on their stall? "Furthermore, because the news of the film's completion has not yet spread, if the media knows about you
Now that I'm free, the invitations won't stop at all.
I’ve also read it, and the movie script can be ignored. It’s basically an Internet-type film with no famous directors, but there are a few TV series that you can consider.”
"I'm not worried about any of this. Let me tell you something first. I plan to go to school. Is there any way?"
"Yes! Mr. Xiang told me a long time ago. I have also contacted the relevant teachers at the Shanghai Theater Academy. I can study as a transfer student and be awarded a diploma depending on the situation. It probably means that if you just want to be gold-plated, I'm sorry.
But if they really want to learn something and can pass the exam, they are willing to accept it, because after all, schools are designed to produce stars."
"Sign up for me," Xiaobao said without hesitation: "As far as my current acting skills are concerned, it's almost like a soy sauce show. I'd better save my time playing the leading role."
"Mr. Qin, I see that many idols have never taken acting classes and they can act well," Luo Zhongyu said.
"Some people are talented and learn quickly, but most... I don't want to be scolded. There's nothing wrong with learning more. It's okay to wait until you're ready." Xiaobao didn't make it too clear, but everyone
All clear.
There is a process for turning a singer into an actor. How many of them can be successful in just one film?
Everyone has different ideas. It's not that Xiaobao despises them, it's just that he doesn't want to do it.
"Also, didn't Dongbaek say that he has the resources to provide teachers? He contacted me and said that I want a teacher who specializes in acting training to open a small room."
"Okay!" Luo Zhongyu recorded the boss's request.
"Mr. Qin!" After he finished speaking, Liu Minghua continued to the next topic: "I wonder if the remaining songs of your new album are ready?"
"It's ready. You can start recording at any time. It will probably be done in three or two days."
"Okay, don't worry. You have just finished filming, so you need to adjust your condition first. As long as the song is completed, everything else is a trivial matter."
"Speaking of albums, I have a song called "Liangliang", which is more interesting for male and female duets. The singer I want to collaborate with is Zhang Bichen. Please contact the other company and ask if he is free."
"OK."
"Singularity will announce you as a new great god after the long holiday and invite you to attend the annual meeting in December. Do you want to go?"
"There's still more than a month left. Let's see when the time comes. You can go and see it when you have time. There are many of my idols in there." Xiaobao expressed interest: "If you declare a great god, you won't reveal my true identity."
"They follow our opinion on this."
"Then we won't announce it yet. If we meet last year, we can give it a surprise."
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Singularity, and then it's time to go to the theaters, because you just won a big award, and your cast is unprecedentedly strong. Several theaters, including China Film and Wanda, are willing to cooperate..."
One thing is raised and one thing is solved quickly and quickly.
It is also because the person involved is Qin Xiaobao and has absolute say, otherwise the efficiency would not be so high.
At the end of the meeting, Luo Zhongyu sighed: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Xiang, and Mr. Liu, you three are so strong, like a trident, each performing its own duties and taking us all the way forward."
Xiang Yang was very satisfied with this adjective and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, as long as you work hard, you will have a chance to become part of the Trident."
