Chapter 157 First Album Trial

Xu Rui and Yan Ran didn't stay too long, after all, Peng Hai and Tang Xi still had work to do. Before leaving, both parties politely added each other on WeChat and made a verbal appointment for dinner, but it was uncertain whether it could be realized.

On the way back, seeing Yan Ran's full of gains, Xu Rui asked, "Was it worth the trip?"

"Of course!" Yan Ran talked to him enthusiastically: "Unlike the mentors in school, Director Tang Xi did not share with me shooting techniques and professional knowledge, but more pointed out some details that are easy to overlook, as well as the skills of communicating and getting along with actors. It's very practical!"

After that, she asked curiously, "What are you and Peng Hai talking about?"

"Do you remember Wen Zhaodong?" Xu Rui asked.

"No..." Yan Ran was about to deny it, but suddenly remembered, "No, I remember it. It was Wen Zhaodong who played in "The Confused Detective"?"

"Yes." Xu Rui asked Lu Ziliang in front of him, "Brother Liang, what about you?"

Lu Ziliang thought about it and shook his head, "I can't remember."

Xu Rui didn't believe it: "No, you are older than us, and you are from that era."

"What do you mean, are you saying I'm old?" Lu Ziliang was speechless, "You are not allowed to have seen it!"

"Forget it." Xu Rui stopped chatting with him and continued to talk to Yan Ran, "I liked this drama very much at the beginning, It's very interesting. Many young actors and actresses are criticized for their poor acting skills. The most criticized thing is their expressions, such as iceberg face, staring, etc., but Wen Zhaodong is different. His facial expressions are very rich. He is often said to have exaggerated acting skills. However, in the drama "The Confused Detective", his shortcomings that were criticized by people have created unexpected effects. Don't you think he has a special talent for comedy? Just standing there makes people want to laugh. "

Yan Ran recalled carefully and nodded: "Yes, the detective he played was very funny, but then he suddenly faded out. What happened?"

"I don't know , Peng Hai didn't tell me. "Xu Rui shook his head, "I think if you want to prepare to shoot "The Truman Show", you can ask him to play the role. He should be very cheap now. Of course, we have to ask him why he retired before, don't let him have any big black material and be stepped on by us. "

Yan Ran thought for a while: "Peng Hai dares to use him, it's not that bad."

Xu Rui shook his head: "He is barely a supporting role in "Dang Jiuzhou", not much different from a passerby. Peng Hai may have given him a role because of his previous relationship or some other reasons. If there is a problem, just cut it out. We want him to play the leading role, Don't get cheated. "

Lu Ziliang, who had been silent, said: "Xu Rui is right. This circle is full of traps. It doesn't hurt to be careful."

"Yeah." Yan Ran smiled and accepted the opinions of the two, "But it's not even started yet. If you really want to shoot, you have to get the funds back first."

Xu Rui also understood that money is a big problem. The cost of "The Night the Comet Came" was only 700,000, which was within the reach of the two. But "The Truman Show" is different. If you keep improving, the cost may be close to 100 million. If you don't accept investment, it will be difficult to achieve at this stage.

"When will the broadcasting platform settle the revenue share?" Xu Rui asked.

Yan Ran looked at him: "Didn't I tell you that we will settle quarterly?"

Xu Rui sighed: "Is that so? Then we can only think about it in the long run."

Lu Ziliang looked at him: "If the album sells well, you should be more diligent and take more notices. It's not difficult to make money."

Xu Rui was shocked: "Brother Liang, can you say this in front of your girlfriend!"

Lu Ziliang: "Huh?"

"Why can't you say it in front of me?" Yan Ran gave Xu Rui a smile, "What do you mean, explain it clearly!"

Xu Rui immediately said: "I'm just afraid that you will think that I don't take any work and I'm not ambitious enough."

Yan Ran snorted: "What do you mean? I don't want you to work so hard!"

Lu Ziliang, who thought he had accidentally provoked the incident and was ready to eat the melon quietly, clearly felt that he was eating a sticky melon!

Luckily, the driver had good self-control and drove the car very steadily. He was not shaken by Xu Rui and Yan Ran's flirting behavior.

After returning, Xu Rui continued to work on the album. Yan Ran's next movie was not "The Truman Show". She had contacted the investors who contacted her, just in case she met conscientious capital and congenial partners.

Because her father was too busy, the matter of bringing Yan Ran home was postponed until the Chinese New Year. Xu Rui attended the year-end ceremony of Weibo and received the "Most Popular New Singer of the Year" award. Then he went to the closing event of the Ku Miao platform and received the "Most Influential Young Male Singer of the Year" award. It sounds very impressive, but it actually has no gold content.

However, his new album has received a lot of response within Shenghua Entertainment.

Xu Rui's studio is under Shenghua Entertainment. The production cost of the album and its future release all rely on the company's resources. The company did not participate in the song selection, but it still has the right to audition.

The production efficiency of the album is much higher than expected. By the end of the year, several songs of the first album have been recorded. If the company is satisfied with the audition, it can start the final Mastering process and send it to the factory for pressing.

Gu Qiming claims to have a good taste in music, so how could he miss such an audition?

When he came to the audition room, he was accompanied by several executives and the album production team, but Xu Rui was not there.

"Mr. Gu." The album producer Zhang Xiyun came to Gu Qiming.

Gu Qiming asked in confusion: "Where is Xu Rui?"

Zhang Xiyun explained: "There was a magazine photo shoot in the morning, and he hasn't come yet. He said there's no need to wait for him."

"How is this album?" Gu Qiming asked curiously.

Zhang Xiyun smiled mysteriously: "You'll know after you listen to it."

Gu Qiming was a man who knew Zhang Xiyun was very optimistic about this album. This made him look forward to it even more. However, he still complained: "Alas, he is young and energetic, and he just doesn't listen to the company. It seems that we are harming him. You said that based on his performance in "Original New Generation", wouldn't it be good for him to write about family and country in the first album? He had to write about love. I don't understand!"

Zhang Xiyun smiled but didn't answer. He took out his mobile phone to check the time: "Mr. Gu, everyone is here, so shall we start?"

"Let's start." Gu Qiming nodded in agreement.

So the new song audition officially began, and the album was played in order. The first song "Those Years" made Gu Qiming laugh as soon as he heard it. It was indeed a young man. It was a standard pop music with a pleasant melody. The lyrics were also very catchy. After growing up, he regretted the love he had missed, which made people easily recall the memories of campus things.

"The quality of the song is good." Gu Qiming commented in his heart, but compared with the songs in "Original New Generation", this song did not meet his expectations.

However, the next song "You in My Life" made him vaguely aware of the production idea of ​​this song, so he patiently continued to listen to the following songs. Sure enough, the songs in the album were divided according to age groups, depicting two different love routes.
