Chapter 978 Spring Festival

Zhang Ping'an dragged Pang Di's small suitcase from upstairs to the parking lot. Pang Di looked at Zhang Pingan's Rolls-Royce. She really couldn't help crying or laughing. She couldn't help but stretched out her index finger and wiped it on the car body. A finger mark immediately appeared on the car body: "What is this? How old are you?" A million-dollar car is so dirty that you can’t bear to wash it?”

Faced with Fatty's complaints, Zhang Ping'an smiled and opened the trunk while placing her luggage and explaining: "Didn't I just come back and haven't had time to wash it yet?"

Fatty said depressedly: "You don't put a car cover on when you don't use the car to prevent the dust?"

Zhang Pingan put down his luggage and looked up at Pang Di, who was still looking at the dirtiness of the car body, and said, "Dust cover? I'm too lazy to do it. If it gets dirty, just wash it. Do you want some water?"

"Get a bottle."

Zhang Pingan took two bottles of water and returned to the car with Fat Di. After Zhang Pingan got in the car, Fat Di said, "Aren't you going to wash your car?"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Wash, I was just about to go out to wash the car, and you called. I thought I would come to pick you up first, and then go to wash the car. Otherwise, I would have been delayed for at least more than an hour while washing the car. "

Zhang Ping'an started the car and drove towards the fine laundry shop he often went to. On the way, Fatty asked Zhang Pingan about the problems that occurred during the filming, and he briefly talked about the difficulties that may be encountered in filming overseas.

Fatty nodded and said, "Seeing your scene being destroyed, you must have felt terrible at the time, right?"

Zhang Ping'an let out a long sigh and said: "Hey... the mood at that time was so dumbfounding. The entire filming team watched helplessly as the excavator came in and started pushing our house. The mood was simply indescribable. Just think about it. I understand what it feels like. There are dozens of us in the team. What if the scene is gone? And it’s overseas, not in China. If the scene is destroyed in China, the worst possible outcome is that the filming plan will be temporarily stopped, and everyone will have to stop. Let’s go back and rest. But this is Bali! If we cancel the filming, all the money we invested in the early stage will be wasted, and the actors’ performance fees will still have to be paid.”

Fatty nodded and said, "I feel a little annoyed when I think about it. However, the place is not bad. I will give you another shooting location."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Yes, it's not bad that we gave him a new address, otherwise I would be really depressed this time!"

"It's great that I can take advantage of the opportunity of shooting to go overseas. I also really want to have such an opportunity to go overseas and have fun in the name of shooting." As Fatty said, he took out his mobile phone and connected it. Car Bluetooth. Then she smiled and said, "Listen to this song."

The Rolls Royce audio experience is absolutely perfect.

When the music played, it turned out to be "Liangliang", the theme song of their "Three Lives Three Worlds" this time. Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Hey, where did you get the sound source of this song? Isn't it unpublished?"

Fat Di turned his head and smiled sweetly at Zhang Pingan and said: "The director gave us a preview. I liked this ancient song very much, so I shamelessly asked for the sound source. I really didn't expect you to be so good at music production. Awesome. No wonder Zhang Chenchen said you are a very good music producer."

Zhang Ping'an said without blushing: "Sometimes music itself is a feeling. It may be that when you are reading a romance novel and your heart is moved by the beauty or poignant love written in it, you want to express it. , so sitting in front of the piano or holding the guitar, the seemingly random rhythms played are actually the best music creations. On the other hand, in China, there are only a few who can be called musicians. , most popular songs are either plagiarized or purchased from others and filled with Chinese lyrics.”

Fatty smiled and said: "Oh, which popular songs are plagiarized?"

Zhang Ping'an responded: "That's a lot. That funny 'singer' named Zhang, I heard clearly that all of his songs were plagiarized. He did not pay any copyright fees for the copyright adaptation to the other creator, and directly I picked it up and used it myself. As for pop music, it’s basically a batch of popular songs from the 1990s to the early 2000s, and they are all songs that we are familiar with, and most of them have purchased the copyright.”

"Old songs, there are indeed many in Hong Kong and Taiwan who came from Japan and South Korea. When it comes to musicians, are Japan and South Korea really better than us?" Fatty said doubtfully.

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "Of course not. There are also very powerful musicians in China, such as Jay Chou and JJ. They are all very powerful musicians. Jay Chou is the most typical musician. He was just a songwriter at the beginning. As a songwriter, he has excellent creative talent, but he is definitely not a singer. Listening to his live singing, you can tell that he has not even reached the basic level of a singer, and is not even as good as many passers-by. He is only very good at composing. The most typical example of Korea is G-Dragon, who is not good at singing, but is very talented in composition, but they use their talents to stand on the stage, not their singing ability, do you understand?

Zhang Pingan continued: "In China, we have so many music students graduating every year. Do you think we can't find one or two great songwriters? Of course not. It's just... not in place!" Zhang Pingan finally said He made a 'money' gesture to Fatty.

Fatty smiled and shook his head: "Is it a matter of money?"

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "What else? Jay, is your singing skill great? When he sings, sometimes he can't even sing the lyrics clearly. His fans say this is called personality, but it's actually unprofessional. He is a typical creator who turned into a singer, writing his own songs and singing them himself, and how much has his net worth increased now?"

Pang Di said: "I usually listen to his songs, and I think they are very good? If you don't believe me, I'll play you a song right away?"

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "You study acting, don't you know there is a profession called tuner. He can make the songs sung by people with poor tone-deafness and howling ghosts and wolves cry out perfectly on the sound source. Singers, you really need to listen to him Only when you are at their live performances can you feel the real resonance brought by music. "

Pang Di asked: "How much does it cost for a songwriter nowadays?"

Zhang Pingan thought about the market price in China: "A well-known songwriter would get 50,000 yuan for a song? And it's a buyout! In other countries, songwriters will not go hungry. I produced several songs for Korean singers. Just from the share of the production, I earned more than 3 million Chinese yuan in copyright fees last year, and I still have copyright income every year. For a song, the income of the songwriter is estimated to be a hundred times different when it is published abroad and domestically. This is why China Excellent creators, the main reason why they are unwilling to create! Many creators have switched to dubbing for film and television sound effects, because I have to earn at least 200,000 or 300,000 yuan for doing sound effects for a drama. I put a lot of effort into creating a song, 50,000 yuan? And I have to be famous! "

Pang Di said: "Doesn't that mean no one is willing to create?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "Yes, don't you find that the good songs now are released by those singers who can create? Singers who can't create can't buy songs because they are reluctant to spend money. For example, Angela Zhang, have you seen her release an album now? It's not that she doesn't want to release an album, but people won't give you good songs. She also If it's not Yilin, you can ask Jay Chou to help write songs. So the song "Invisible Wings" has been sung for ten years, and now the commercial performance is still in "Invisible Wings". There is also the Super Girl who made a comeback in the variety show some time ago, that "Sour and Sweet is Me", there is only one song in a lifetime. Let's talk about the simplest example. Huawei bought out the copyright of the theme song of the mobile phone from a foreign creator for 80 million. Of course, this price... may be an online rumor, but it is definitely not 20 million. This is true! Look at me, I make millions a year just from music production. Turn around and think, is it really expensive to buy out the copyright for 20 million? "

Chatting along the way, the two soon came to the car wash. There are luxury cars parked everywhere here, such as "Mercedes-Benz S", "Bentley", "Lamborghini", "Ferrari", "McLaren", etc..

After Zhang Ping'an's black Rolls-Royce came in, it still attracted the attention of many car owners. Many people who knew Zhang Ping'an's license plate said, "Zhang Ping'an's car."

"How long has it been parked?"

"Others are busy overseas all day long, but we have nothing to do and drive around all day."

Pang Di got out of the car first. After getting out of the car, she raised her scarf to slightly cover her face, but her eyes, eyebrows, and exposed high nose bridge are different from those of Han people. This made many car owners who were resting nearby cast their eyes in the direction of Pang Di.

"Is this Zhang Ping'an's legendary hidden girlfriend?"

"Mixed-race, right?" "Isn't she from the Western Regions?"

"She has a nice body and nice legs." "Big eyes!"

After Zhang Ping'an parked the car, he asked the people here to wash the car. He got out of the car with water and said to Pang Di: "Why don't we go shopping? It will take at least an hour."

"Where to go?"

Zhang Ping'an pointed in the direction of the way he came and said: "When I came here, I saw a fruit store. Let's go shopping. There is nothing at home except the two bottles of water in my car."

"Yeah." Pang Di nodded, and the two slowly walked towards the fruit store next to them.

Arriving at the fruit shop, looking at the dazzling array of fruits, Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Strawberries, have some. Oh, how about durian?"

Pang Di stopped and said, "I can't stand the taste. By the way, are the fruits in Japan really too expensive for people to eat?"

"Of course not. Fruits in Japan are also sold in traditional markets, chain supermarkets, and boutique fruit shops. The sky-high-priced fruits are from boutique fruit shops, and the things in these boutique fruit shops are used as gifts. Just like we buy Moutai as gifts, are all the wines sold in China as expensive as Moutai?"
