Chapter 874 Returning to China, Gains
More than 20 minutes later.
Zhang Wenhua came back to his senses and said excitedly: "This song is great!"
Now he feels more and more that his decision to go out to sea with the ship is an extremely correct decision.
Tan Yue put down the cup in his hand and smiled: "Tell me how you feel after watching this song now."
"This is an inspirational song, and it tells the spirit of sailors at a deeper level." Seeing Tan Yue nod slightly, Zhang Wenhua continued: "When facing difficulties, you should be like a sailor, not give up easily, and always stick to your dreams."
Zhang Wenhua's eyes have been looking at the A4 paper in his hand, and he did not hide the excitement on his face at all.
He is sure that the song "Sailor" will be a big hit!
Tan Yue said slowly: "It seems that you have understood the meaning of this song, which is very good."
Zhang Wenhua was able to understand the song in such a short time, and Tan Yue was not too surprised. After all, he really put his heart into it.
"Hum the song first, and then try to sing it."
Taking advantage of Zhang Wenhua's preliminary understanding of the song, Tan Yue prepared to start teaching directly.
Zhang Wenhua cleared his throat, read the music score first, and began to sing the lyrics.
"The bitter sand, the feeling of blowing on my face."
"Like my father's scolding and my mother's crying, I will never forget it."
Tan Yue tapped the sofa with his right hand, silently remembering the areas that need improvement.
Because it was the first time, Zhang Wenhua would stop from time to time to find the tune, or sing a line of lyrics again.
He stumbled a little bit to the second paragraph.
"When I grow up, I work hard for my ideal."
"Gradually I ignored the news of my father, mother and hometown."
"Now my life is like acting."
"Speaking insincerely, wearing a hypocritical mask."
While Zhang Wenhua was singing, Tan Yue sat aside without saying a word, waiting for him to finish singing.
"He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing, wipe away the tears and don't ask why."
"He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing, wipe away the tears and don't ask why."
Zhang Wenhua put down the song and asked nervously: "Mr. Tan, what do you think?"
The physical and mental fatigue had a great impact on Zhang Wenhua's singing. After the first time, he felt that he sang very badly.
Tan Yue thought for a moment and said: "Always look like a weak and cowardly person, the word coward should be emphasized."
Zhang Wenhua carefully recorded some of the singing skills that Tan Yue told him about this song.
Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.
"Think about these places again and sing it again for me later." Tan Yue picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Tan Yue patiently explained all the problems that Zhang Wenhua encountered during the first singing. As long as Zhang Wenhua can sing this song perfectly, he believes that it will be a big hit.
Zhang Wenhua sorted it out from beginning to end and had a deeper understanding of how to sing the whole song better.
"I'm ready." Zhang Wenhua adjusted his breathing and began to sing for the second time.
Compared with the first time, this time was not only much smoother, but also more comfortable to listen to in many places.
After the end, Zhang Wenhua asked again: "Mr. Tan, how was it this time?"
Tan Yue nodded and said: "The progress is very obvious. The problems that appeared in the first singing did not appear this time. There are still some minor problems in some places, but they are not big problems."
Zhang Wenhua's nervous mood has not relaxed yet, after all, the performance in some places is not good.
"Have a sip of water." Tan Yue said: "That's it for today. Go back and practice. All the problems I told you can be solved. After you are familiar with it, you can integrate your feelings into the song."
Zhang Wenhua said solemnly: "Okay, Mr. Tan."
"If there are any problems in the middle, you can come and ask me at any time."
Zhang Wenhua came out of the office, closed the door gently, and couldn't help but look at the song in his hand again. He was so happy.
"Hurry up and practice." At this moment, Zhang Wenhua walked with the wind, without any feeling of fatigue.
Chen Ye saw Zhang Wenhua passing by, and he couldn't help wondering at his smile, "What happened? Why is he so happy?"
"Could it be?" Chen Ye remembered that Tan Yue asked him to take the song to register the copyright a few days ago.
Zhang Wenhua had just returned to the office when his agent asked impatiently, "Did Mr. Tan give you the song?"
Zhang Wenhua shook the A4 paper in his hand, "Here it is!"
"Nice!" The agent breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried about Zhang Wenhua's condition while waiting, "Let me take a look."
The agent took the song, "Sailor?! So this is what Mr. Tan meant when he asked you to get familiar with the sailor's condition!"
Zhang Wenhua praised, "Mr. Tan's song is absolutely amazing. It will definitely be a big hit after it is released!"
The agent laughed loudly. The better the artists under his command, the more benefits he will get as an agent.
"Wenhua, we must seize this opportunity. Mr. Tan rarely writes a new song, and now he gives it to you to sing, which shows that he values you very much."
"Don't worry, I will do my best to sing this song well." Zhang Wenhua's eyes were extremely firm.
He also wants to be like the song says, "What is this little pain in the wind and rain? Wipe away your tears and don't ask why." The failure of the last single is just a small bump on the road to success.
"Please book a recording studio for me. I will go there to practice singing later."
"Okay." The agent immediately started to arrange it.
After taking a short break in the office, Zhang Wenhua came to the recording studio to practice the song.
As he sang it over and over again, he became more and more familiar with the song, and there were fewer and fewer problems in the singing.
At the same time, Zhang Wenhua was also thinking about how to sing the song better.
Only after he was familiar with the whole song did Zhang Wenhua put his emotions into singing.
Putting emotions into singing is the second stage of singing.
Zhang Wenhua drank water, looked at the lyrics, and recalled the scenes he saw on the sea.
Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office, Tan Yue's Office.
"Be careful on the road." Tan Yue put down the phone.
He just received a call from Wu Gong, who came back from abroad and just arrived at the airport.
Wu Gong had been abroad for more than two months, and Tan Yue planned to let him go home to rest first, and it would not be too late to report on the work two days later.
Who knew that Wu Gong insisted on reporting today.
Airport.
Wu Gong and his group got on the arranged car and went to the company.
"I haven't been back for a long time, and I really miss home." Wu Gong chatted with the accompanying employees in the car.
Several people in the car nodded in agreement.
"Although it is very hard, it is worth it."
"You are right. The Truman Show is the first domestic film to achieve such a high box office in the global film market!"
Engineer Wu turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, looking forward to reporting to Tan Yue on the work that had been going on for so long.
On the other side, Tan Yue was slightly lost in thought as he looked at the water cup in his hand, feeling very emotional.
The fact that The Truman Show can achieve such a good box office performance overseas is inseparable from Engineer Wu's vigorous promotion. It can be said that the first wave of popularity of The Truman Show abroad was attracted by publicity.
Domestic films lack experience in promoting in overseas markets. Even if the promotion plan has been prepared in advance, it is impossible to be comprehensive. This requires Engineer Wu to make adjustments at any time and communicate with various local government departments in various countries to facilitate the promotion work.
For the overseas promotion of The Truman Show, Engineer Wu and his team traveled back and forth in various countries for two months. The hard work is self-evident.
Tan Yue was thinking about how to reward them after they came back.
After coming up with an idea, Tan Yue sped up the processing of the documents in his hand, thinking that the two of them would have more time to talk after Wu Gong came back.
During the release of "The Truman Show", Wu Gong would report the latest situation every day, but there were still many things that could only be discussed when they met.
The two of them could also take this opportunity to summarize some of the film's overseas promotion experience, after all, there will be more films released abroad in the future.
An hour later.
Several cars stopped at the entrance of Brilliant Entertainment Company.
"Mr. Wu, we're at the company."
Wu Gong fell asleep in the back seat of the car. After a long journey and jet lag, he fell asleep not long after sitting in the car.
"Okay." Wu Gong rubbed his face hard to make himself more awake, and smiled: "Back to the company."
After more than two months, looking at the company's building in front of him, a feeling of intimacy emerged in his heart.
"We are finally back!"
The excitement in the hearts of several people overwhelmed the fatigue for so long.
"Hello, Mr. Wu!"
"Long time no see, Director Wu."
"Finally see you again!"
As soon as he entered the company's gate, many people came to say hello. Engineer Wu responded to them one by one, with a smile on his face.
Engineer Wu and his team first returned to the meeting room of the public relations department.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period. I will take up some of your time to summarize the publicity experience we have summarized during this period. I will report to Mr. Tan in the evening."
According to the company's practice, the first thing to do after returning from a business trip abroad is to go home and rest and adjust to the time difference.
Engineer Wu did not intend to delay any longer and quickly dealt with all matters related to "The Truman Show".
A discussion began in the meeting room.
Twenty minutes later.
Engineer Wu said: "Thank you for your hard work, go home and rest."
"Go home, go home."
"Goodbye, Mr. Wu."
"We'll leave first."
Engineer Wu looked at the work content that would be reported later and said: "Be careful on the road! Send a message in the group when you get home."
"Okay, Director."
They will all be sent home directly by the company's vehicle.
After everyone left, Engineer Wu went to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, tidied his clothes in front of the mirror to make himself look more energetic, and then took the documents to the president's office.
"Hello, Mr. Wu!" Chen Ye stood up and greeted him.
"Xiao Ye, long time no see." Engineer Wu asked, "Is Mr. Tan in the office?"
"Inside." Chen Ye knocked gently on the office door.
"Come in."
Chen Ye pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Tan, Mr. Wu is back."
"Come in quickly!" Tan Yue put down his work and stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Tan."
"Xiao Ye, make Mr. Wu a cup of tea." Tan Yue said, "Sit down, Director Wu."
The two sat on the sofa.
Looking at Engineer Wu's slightly thin face, Tan Yue said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"Thank you." Engineer Wu took the tea poured by Chen Ye and said, "The promotion of the movie is my job, and it is what I should do."
Chen Ye closed the door gently when he left the office.
Tan Yue drank tea and said, "We have too little experience in overseas film promotion. We need to slowly accumulate and summarize in many areas."
Mr. Wu handed the file in his hand to Tan Yue: "Mr. Tan, this is our work summary during this period, and some work summaries on overseas promotion."
While Tan Yue was looking through the file, Mr. Wu began to report on the work over the past two months.
"The general direction of overseas promotion that we initially formulated was correct, and then we made some optimizations in some details during the specific implementation."
According to Mr. Wu's description, Tan Yue looked at the specific content in the file carefully.
Mr. Wu continued: "Domestic films are very unknown overseas. Before the film was released, we did a survey and found that foreigners had no interest in our films. The early publicity work was very difficult. Even if we released promotional videos in various forms on a large scale, it only attracted a very small number of people. This situation improved on the first day after the film was released."
Mr. Wu reported on his work according to the stage of change in the popularity of the film.
During the period, Tan Yue also asked some questions he wanted to ask.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Tan Yue said: "Your work this time is very good, I am very satisfied."
After listening to Wu's report, Tan Yue had some new ideas about the overseas promotion of the film.
Wu smiled and nodded.
"The film is a great success, you are the first contributors, bonuses and vacations will be rewarded, and you will be notified after a few days."
After working so hard for so long, rewards are indispensable.
"Thank you, Mr. Tan!"
"That's all for today's report. Go home and rest, and spend time with your family. You haven't seen each other for more than two months. They must miss you very much, haha." Tan Yue saw that Wu had a circle of dark circles around his eyes, and cared again: "Go home and sleep."
Wu didn't insist and prepared to leave.
Sitting on the sofa for so long, fatigue has long filled his body. He is now in a state where he can fall asleep in seconds when lying on the bed.
Tan Yue finally added: "I will welcome you tomorrow."
"Okay, Mr. Tan."
Watching Wu drag his tired body out of the office, Tan Yue sighed.
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
His first film had achieved success in the overseas market, which also earned him some fame. It would be much easier to work on overseas films in the future. He would not have to travel abroad for more than two months like this time.
Tan Yue picked up the folder, returned to the computer, opened the "Experience Summary" document, and continued to fill in the content. He found some new directions.
