382: Serial Bombing

The national style songs on Blue Star were neither originated by Django nor popularized by Django, but Jiang Ge single-handedly ushered in a new era of national style pop.

Music critics definitely want to take advantage of this popularity, and there is a lot of knowledge in how to take advantage of it.

Some advocated: ["Jiuzhou Tong" the fairy music, the land of Kyushu is in smoke, the smoke is behind everything new, not only the vast territory is heard, but also the mountains and rivers are full of vitality. 】

Criticism: [The "Azure Waiting for Misty Rain" in "Blue and White Porcelain" is beautiful, but the logic is wrong, because azure is the color of the sky, and the most beautiful sky color is when a thunderstorm washes the sky. The color after cleaning should be "azure, waiting for a shower", but the shower is not beautiful, and the misty rain floats from the ground, so the logic is wrong. 】

Some praised: [Django is a smart man, and he has an excellent grasp of the "tempo" of "Kiuzhou Tong". The melody has its own beauty, and each instrument involves a story. It is neither high nor vulgar, which is rare. 】

Some critics: [There are two errors in the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain". One is "The Han Dynasty official script on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty." Blue and white porcelain has quickly become the overlord of Chinese porcelain since its birth, but the bottom of the bottle has never It has been written in Han official script, but only in the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, some blue and white vessels were occasionally written in official script; another place is "I was copying the Song style inscription, but I was thinking about you." The Song style inscription is only seen on the enamel porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qian dynasties, and the blue and white porcelain This has not been seen before; from these two mistakes, it can be seen that Django does not understand porcelain. 】

…

They use their own methods to attract the public's attention and earn popularity and traffic.

While the outside world said good or bad, Jiang Ge did not pay too much attention.

Because these are all things he has experienced before. In his previous life on earth, he participated in discussions and commented on Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain" and Guan Dazhou's "Jiuzhou Tong", and saw various voices.

Of course, being praised will naturally make you feel happy, and being scolded will make you feel bad to some extent.

"Django's concentration is so good, he's been praised to the heavens, and he didn't even see any lapses."

After hearing the assistant's words, Liu Ronghua agreed: "At this point, he has indeed done a good job."

The assistant said helplessly: "It was originally a new song dispute between you and Zhang Liming. Who knew, first "Song of the Sunset" by Mei Manlu was inserted, and then "Blue and White Porcelain" by Jiang Ge was inserted. It was really... …”

Liu Ronghua was silent. What could he say? He woke up early this morning and took a look at Weibo. The song charts had undergone earth-shaking changes.

1. "Blue and White Porcelain" by Jiang Ge, popularity 1,532,452.

2. Jiang Ge's "Nine States Together", with a popularity of 1,252,399.

3. Mei Manlu's "Song of the Sunset", with a popularity of 938,210.

4. "I Just Like You" by Zhang Liming, with a popularity of 921,500.

5. Liu Ronghua's "Every Day Together", with a popularity of 920055.

…

Overnight, they changed from fighting for first place to fighting for third place. Even if their competitive spirit has been worn away by the years, they are still the Four Heavenly Kings who once dominated the Chinese music scene. This ranking is really too shabby.

Liu Ronghua once again saw Jiang Ge's terror, and at the same time, the desire to compete in him that had disappeared for many years was actually aroused.

However, he is old after all, and there is a gap of several dozen years between him and Jiang Ge. It is impossible for him to compete with Zhang Liming, Guo You, and Li Min in the three industries of film, television and music like he did in the 1990s.

To sum it up, it is powerless.

"Brother Hua, why don't we try to have a date?" The assistant suddenly made a suggestion.

This is……

Join if you can't beat him?

If it's for money, his studio is actually doing quite well and has invested in many profitable film and television drama projects. Isn't it more profitable than singing a song?

If it is for fame, he has already received various honors. In the 1990s, he successively won the Golden Melody Award for Singer, the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, and the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.

but……

Who can have too much money or fame?

The key is that most of Django's songs are highly sung and widely circulated.

In the 40 years since his debut, in addition to those born in the 70s and 80s, the songs that are well known to those born in the 90s and 2000s include "Love You for Ten Thousand Years", "Forgetting Love", "If I'm 17", "Today", "Snow and Rain", Just five songs.

If you sing Django's songs, you can at least create a sense of presence among the post-90s and post-00s generations.

But……

I feel very conflicted.

Liu Ronghua thought for a long time, finally relaxed his frown, smiled lightly, and said: "We will talk about this later."

When the assistant heard this, he didn't say anything. After all, Django's songs were not so easy to arrange.

On the other side, Hengdian Film and Television Hotel.

"Not enough budget?"

"Yes, the cost of renting venues and closing roads here in M ​​country is too expensive, and "Fast and Furious Episode 1" used vehicles such as Honda's fifth-generation Civic EG, Toyota's fourth-generation Supra, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Dodge These cars, such as the Charger, are relatively old and require huge modifications, plus..."

"How much more?"

"About 100 million."

"Okay, I'll let the finance department transfer the money to you."

"By the way, a manager from Disney Studios found me yesterday and wanted to cooperate with you."

"Overseas film and television dramas will not be considered for the time being."

"I think this is a good opportunity to expand overseas markets. How about you think about it again?"

"I have a plan to start filming overseas film and television dramas next year or the year after."

"Okay, I'll go get busy."

…

The call was from Mo Lan, mainly reporting on the situation in country M. The filming progress of "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Fast and Furious Episode 1" was in line with the plan, but the money was exceeded.

There's no way around it. The two films were filmed on Earth in 2017 and 2000, and now it's 2024. The consumption levels are different.

Jiang Ge took the calculator on his mobile phone and calculated it, and found that the budget increase of 100 million was within the acceptable range.

"Popcorn movies are really expensive."

Jiang Ge put down his phone, shook his head and smiled, and then started the unfinished work.

Tomorrow is May 1st, the day when Mei Manlu's fourth song "The Road Follows People is Blurred" is released, and he is planning to combine the MV with the first trailer of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Before answering Mo Lan's call, he had just received the edited sample film from the production department.

"It's stuck, but it's not accurate..."

…

"The filter is too white..."

…

"Too many spoilers..."

…

After watching it, he raised several questions and replied to the deputy manager of the production department. Jiang Ge opened another video in his mailbox. These are samples of the seventh, eighth and ninth episodes of "Young Man Bao Qingtian". Post-production has been completed. Once completed, wait for him to review it before sending it for review.

After deletion, there are 38 episodes in seven units, with an average of 4 episodes per unit. This part is the ending of the second unit [Blood Altar] and the beginning of the third unit [Mystery of the Hermitage Village].

Among them, [Blood Altar] is about preparing for the upcoming autumn examination, and all the students in Tianhong Academy are studying hard.

However, at this moment, murder cases occurred one after another. Bao Zheng's classmates and friends, academicians who had the kindness of knowing each other, and teachers who were both teachers and friends were all killed one by one. What's more, Bao Zheng's classmates and friends were excavated near the academy. The altar of a disappeared ancient nation. The death signs of everyone in the academy were like the curses engraved on the altar. People in the academy were immediately panicked. Everyone was deeply afraid that they had been cursed and would be the next victims. people.

Bao Zheng never believed in the theory of curses by ghosts and gods, and vowed to break the superstition and find out the real culprit for his classmates and friends, so that they could be avenged. Under investigation, he found that the disappeared nation was originally extinguished by others. Yes, the person whose hands were stained with blood that day was actually the person who was murdered today, and the real murderer was actually a deceased person in the academy.

Starting from this unit, the plot will become more and more exciting. (Just pick the two most beautiful units and write them in detail, and write a story summary for the other units)

Film and television post-production is the post-processing of the film after filming to form a complete film, including adding special effects, adding text, and producing sound for the film, etc.

Jiang Ge watched the three episodes and found no major problems, so he notified the deputy manager of the production department to submit them for review.

At this time, it was already evening. I had something to eat in the hotel and then walked towards the studio. Today, "Young Man Bao Qingtian" has a night scene scheduled.

——————

At 12 noon the next day, the first trailers of Mei Manlu's new songs "The Road Follows the People" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" were released directly. This time there was no full trailer trailer to whet the appetite.

Originally, the popularity and topicality of "Kiuzhou Tong" and "Blue and White Porcelain" were still on the rise, but a new song came out, leaving colleagues speechless for a while.

[——"The road is full of people"

Singer: Mei Manlu

Composer: Django

Lyricist: Django

Arranger: Django]

It’s the combination of Django + May Manlu again, which is terrifying to watch. The previous three songs “If Love Has God’s Will”, “As Long as I Have You”, and “Sunset Song” have created a series of impressive hits. The results are still fresh in my mind.

but……

This song can be regarded as a new release of an old song. The first part was sung during the last live broadcast of Huafeng Media’s fan concert to give back to fans.

For the audience, it is only a little spoiler, and it is sung a cappella with piano accompaniment, so it is not the most perfect version, so it has little impact.

Hey!

When everyone opened NetEase Cloud Music, they found that it had a separate page just like the previous song "Song of the Sunset". Is it another song with a story?

But when I clicked in, there was no accompanying text.

This is not Django's style...

Of course it's not that simple. I didn't understand what was going on until they played the MV.

"Life is like a long road."

Let the wind and frost stay on your face

How many directions do dreams have in this world of mortals?

Looking for a dreamy love

The road is confusing with people..."

really!

The studio version is much better in terms of sound quality, accompaniment, singing, etc.

As soon as Mei Manlu's charming voice came out, many people got goosebumps.

"Mei Manlu is the only singer whose singing skills I don't want to comment on. As soon as her voice sounds, it makes people feel inexplicably comfortable!"

"Mei Manlu is a rare female singer with a strong voice. Her works are diverse and musical. She prefers to be a singer who concentrates on singing rather than being an artist."

"As soon as the sounds of the fife and guzheng came out, I knew it was a Chinese-style arrangement again."

…

While listening to the song, I am also watching the MV.

This is a dance by Zhang Fucheng and Qin Shiyue. It uses modern dance to show the heart-stirring love story of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

It's a trailer for sure, but after Django pointed out the problem, the production department reduced the interspersed movie footage by two-thirds in order to retain a sense of mystery.

"Life is an extension of dreams

There are faint tears in the dream

Where can I find the direction in my heart?

The wind sighs in the dream

The road and the people are endless..."

Even though there are few scenes in the movie, Mei Manlu's voice and Zhang Liming and Qin Shiyue's dance give Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's moving love story infinite tenderness and style, and I feel a lot of emotion when I listen to it.

"This is the theme song, Mei Manlu's voice, Zhang Fucheng's Ning Caichen and Qin Shiyue's Nie Xiaoqian are highly compatible with the film!"

"Zhang Fucheng's delicate facial features are also generous, delicate and not effeminate, and his figure is also good. His legs are straight and thin. In terms of appearance, he is far better than many young handsome men."

"I would like to call Qin Shiyue the first beauty in ancient costumes. Every frown and smile shows the fairy style. ”

……

It is true that the soundtrack is the soul of a TV series.

An excellent theme song makes people fall in love with it at first listen. Obviously, the drama is already half successful. Even if it is not good in the end, it can still be called "a bad movie with a divine song".

Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but good soundtracks can increase the motivation to watch and help the audience integrate into the plot development of the drama.

"A happy young man on the road of life

See the sunshine in the ruggedness

How many directions are there for happiness in the world

A trace of wind and rain like a dream

The road is endless with people. ”

The simple lyrics and melodious tunes are catchy, and you can hum along even if you hear it for the first time.

The song and MV came to the end. The scene at this time is no longer Zhang Liming and Qin Shiyue dancing modern dance, but Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian in the film.

Suddenly.

The song and the picture stopped abruptly.

Ning Caichen's infatuated eyes and Nie Xiaoqian's affectionate look back make people want to watch it. They all want to see how Jiang Ge wrote and how Zhou Mulong filmed this unforgettable and lingering love between a human and a ghost.

"I'm looking forward to this movie."

"It feels like it won't be worse than "Painted Skin", and it may even be a level better."

"Let's not talk about whether this movie is good or not, at least this song is first-class."

"It's over, Zhang Fucheng and Liu Ronghua's new song will drop one place on the music chart."

"Haha, it's too miserable."

"We don't play with him, he's cheating! ”

…

Listeners like this song, so it is natural that there will be a lot of playbacks, comments, and discussions. Moreover, Jiang Ge is currently very popular, and with the addition of Mei Manlu, it is certain that this song "Lu Sui Ren Mang Mang" will enter the top three of the song chart.

This situation has made major entertainment companies a little uneasy. If they don't think of a solution, Jiang Ge will take over half of the Chinese music scene by himself, no, and also movies and TV series.

But what can they do?

One by one, the painful historical lessons tell them that Jiang Ge is not so easy to win.

However, at this time, during the quiet movie schedule, a movie was released.
