"Hello, Director Zhang, I have long admired your name."
Jiang Kan stretched out his hand and shook hands warmly with the bearded middle-aged director in front of him.
"Haha, it turns out that Mr. Jiang Kan is also a friend of Teacher Zhao Yu, and the relationship is so good. I didn't expect it. Welcome to our crew to give guidance!"
Zhang Mushan, the director of "The Legend of White Snake", laughed and welcomed Jiang Kan. To be honest, he was a little disapproving when he heard Zhao Yu said that he wanted to bring a friend over to watch it together, but when he heard that it was Jiang Kan When he was the author of "Waiting Once in a Thousand Years", he immediately became serious.
When they first got the title song, it was quite a shock to them.
To be able to write such a song that fits the theme of the show and is so catchy, he must be a very talented person.
What's more, he has recently won three consecutive first places on a variety show such as "Xia Guo Hao Singer". Even though he is just a second-tier singer who has just been in the industry for a few months, this is also the right pace for him to be promoted to a celebrity. ah!
Building a good relationship with such a star who can both sing and write will only benefit her future career, so when she saw him again, she was as enthusiastic as the summer sun.
"Teacher Jiang Kan, I have admired you for a long time. Your song "A Thousand Years of Waiting" has been widely circulated among our crew. I have always wanted to meet you to express my gratitude. Today, thanks to Xiaoyu, I finally met."
A generous, graceful middle-aged woman wearing a white antique dress smiled and extended her hand to Jiang Kan, saying hello very politely.
"This is a famous performing artist, our best actress, Ms. Zhao Yunyin. She and I are good sisters. She has always said that she wanted to thank you in person for writing a good song for their drama and asked me to help pull the strings."
Zhao Yu introduced them to them in a timely manner from the side. Judging from the casual look, the relationship between the two was very unusual.
"Haha, hello, Mr. Zhao, I should be the one to say I admire you. I've watched all of your movies, and I'm still your fan!"
People in sedan chairs carried people, and Jiang Kan also paid his compliments in a timely manner.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang, I am Ye Qian, the actor who plays Xu Xian. Nice to meet you."
Next to him, there was a thin woman about thirty years old, but very well-kept, dressed in ancient men's clothing, and she extended her right hand to Jiang Kan gracefully.
"Haha, Teacher Ye's appearance as Xu Xian is so handsome. I have admired you for a long time. I often watch your TV series. Your acting skills are extraordinary!"
A group of people greeted each other politely and humorously, and they were considered to have officially known each other.
The two of them came here today not only to be interviewed, but also to get to know the crew and accumulate some connections. After a while, the agreed media entered the filming location and officially started the interview.
"Hello Director Zhang, we are reporters from the "Hangcheng Evening News". We would like to wish "The Legend of the White Snake" a huge success and great popularity!"
A middle-aged female reporter wearing a black women's suit and dressed quite formally sat facing director Zhang Mushan. She first politely expressed her good wishes for the new drama, and then started a formal interview. ….
"I would like to ask Director Zhang, how long will it take to film our new drama "The Legend of White Snake", and when will it be released on TV for audiences across the country to see it?"
The next questions were more formal. Similar questions were answered one by one by Director Zhang, Zhao Yunyin, or Ye Qian. Jiang Kan and Zhao Yu also sat quietly together, accompanying each other from time to time. Their speeches make expressions that meet social expectations.
"Okay, after asking some questions about the new drama itself, let's interview Mr. Zhao Yu, who dedicated the opening song "A Thousand Years of Waiting Once Again" to this drama, and Mr. Jiang Kan, the songwriter of this song. "
The reporter turned around and changed the topic to the opening song of the new drama.
"Teacher Zhao Yu, why did you receive the invitation to sing the opening theme song of "The Legend of White Snake"?"
The reporter handed the microphone to Zhao Yu, who sat up slightly and answered without thinking into the microphone:
"Actually, the invitation was not sent to me by the crew."
"Oh? It's not an invitation from the crew, then... you took the initiative to participate?"
The reporter raised his eyebrows and showed an appropriately surprised expression.
Zhao Yu's status in the domestic music scene is not low, and she also has a very strong background and background. And judging from her very tough and difficult temper, how could she take the initiative to ask to join even if they don't invite her?
This doesn't make sense!
"Haha, no, there is still a little twists and turns in the story. How about handing the microphone to Teacher Jiang Kan and asking him to explain the story to us?"
After speaking, Zhao Yu directly handed the microphone to Jiang Kan without waiting for the reporter's consent.
Zhao Yu is not a person who lacks topics and popularity.
She accepted the invitation from the crew today to come for an interview. In fact, it was mainly to repay Jiang Kan for the songs he brought her and to establish a good relationship for future cooperation.
Of course, there is also a relationship with her own little niece. Helping her take care of her beloved is also a way for the aunt to love her niece.
"Ah...hehe, okay, I'll talk about it then."
Seeing Zhao Yu handing the microphone directly to him, Jiang Kan was slightly startled at first, then immediately figured out the connection, and spoke calmly amidst the reporters' surprise.
"At the beginning, our company received an invitation to compose music from the crew. Then our director Yang sent the invitation to all his colleagues. Anyone who is interested can write it and give it a try."
"I just happened to be very interested in "The Legend of White Snake". I'm an old viewer and it's very emotional, so I tried to write it. At the same time, I happened to have interacted with Teacher Zhao Yu during that time, and I didn't know it when I was writing. I unconsciously brought her voice into it, and the songs I wrote unconsciously fit her singing habits and singing style very well."
"I just thought, if I told the crew that I could invite Zhao Tianlai to sing the opening song for them, would the success rate be higher?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Yu with a teasing look, and then at Director Zhang, who had already somewhat understood. ….
"Sure enough, after listening to my demonstration song and telling them that I could ask Teacher Zhao Yu to sing this song, the crew readily agreed!"
"Then I went to Mr. Zhao with the promise from the crew and told him that our super national IP TV series "The Legend of White Snake" was soliciting for the title song, and I had just won the spot. I asked her if she would like to sing this song. A song?"
When Zhao Yu heard what Jiang Kan was talking about, even though she had seen a lot of things in the world, she couldn't help but stare at Jiang Kan in dumbstruck, and almost pointed at him with her hand!
Director Zhang had also come to his senses. He held the chair with both hands to sit up straight. He stared blankly at Jiang Kan and opened his mouth. He probably had something in his mind that he didn't know whether to say or not.
"Hahaha, it turns out that the birth of this opening song actually contains such a story? Teacher Jiang, you are really a wonderful person!"
The eyes of the middle-aged female reporter who was interviewing also suddenly lit up. She originally asked this question just for a formality. She expected the other party's answer to be nothing more than that the crew got the song and wanted to hire a famous person to sing it. So I just invited Zhao Yu.
Who would have thought that this Jiang Kan could be such an "old girl, so cunning"?
Well, this interview finally had its highlights! Otherwise, the previous interviews would be too bland and it would be difficult to attract readers’ attention!
"Hahaha, I came up with this idea on a whim, so I decided to give it a try. If it succeeds, wouldn't it be a win-win situation for all three of us?"
Jiang Kan saw the shocked expressions of Zhao Yu and Director Zhang, and felt a sense of accomplishment. Two well-known celebrities in the country had fallen into his own "game". The feeling of a successful prank was still very good. Mysterious.
"Haha, Teacher Jiang, you really
Yes...it's really...so smart. You can think of such a method. I admire it! I admire it! "
Zhao Yunyin couldn't help laughing when she heard "the truth of the matter", and couldn't help but look at Jiang Kan with admiration while hiding her mouth.
Ye Qian was quite shocked, but her reaction was a little slower. She was blinking and thinking about the joints involved. It took her a long time to finally react, and then she couldn't help but laugh. .
"So, this is what happened, and this is what happened, and this opening song was born beautifully."
Everyone's reactions were caught in Jiang Kan's eyes. He shrugged, smiled, and then handed the microphone back to Zhao Yu.
"Ha, it's an interesting process, but Teacher Zhao Yu's singing is indeed very good. I just listened to it when I first arrived on the set. This song is very atmospheric and beautiful. I believe it will be played again It will become a classic song that will be sung by audiences for generations."
…
The interview went smoothly and everyone got what they wanted.
As for the crew, it serves as a warm-up to promote the new drama.
Zhao Yu, Zhao Yunyin and Ye Qian gained a wave of popularity in front of the audience.
The reporter got information about the crew's progress and gained some anecdotes about the filming.
Jiang Kan, on the other hand, took advantage of the enthusiasm of the crew and Zhao Yu to gain a reputation for himself in front of the TV audience. ….
After all, TV dramas are among all forms of cultural and artistic expression, the one that can most easily enhance the nationality and popularity of celebrities. They have a broad audience and are easier to accept.
Not to mention this kind of super national IP TV series, its popularity has increased so much that even the Rockets cannot catch up.
The next day, the "Hangcheng Evening News" report came out, and many other print media and online media followed suit and reprinted and reported:
"Interview with the crew of the super national IP drama "The Legend of White Snake". The filming went smoothly and it is expected to be broadcast around June!"
"The crew of "The Legend of White Snake" is having a great time, and the reporter will report some interesting things during the filming for you."
"The two movie queens played the roles of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Will the audience buy into their cross-dressing performances?"
"It was revealed that Queen Zhao Yu sang the opening song of the drama with all her heart. The title of the song is believed to be "A Thousand Years of Waiting Once Again"!"
"Shocking! "A Thousand Years of Waiting" was actually composed by the current popular singer Jiang Kan!"
"Is there any upper limit to his talent? Our reporter will dig deep into Jiang Kan's roots for you!"
""A Thousand Years of Waiting" became the opening theme of the drama. Why is it so tortuous?"
"Both ends are confused! The winning bid for "A Thousand Years of Waiting" actually has an unknown inside story!"
"Are Zhao Yu and Zhao Yunyin biological sisters? This newspaper will dig deeper for you..."
…
"Hey, Xiao Zhang, do you think Zhao Yu and Zhao Yunyin are biological sisters?"
During lunch, Jiang Kan looked at the phone in his hand and asked Zhang Lingling curiously.
"!"
Zhang Lingling had just put a mouthful of salad into her mouth. When she heard what he said, she looked at him dumbfounded.
"Brother, you have seen so many news reports about you, but this is the one you focus on?"
She pointed to the tablet she placed on the table with a bit of laughter, which was also full of news about Jiang Kan.
"You don't look at whether those interviews and reports about you are true, but instead care about whether Zhao Yu and Zhao Yunyin are biological sisters?"
She was also amused by her own singer.
"So are they biological sisters?"
Jiang Kan shook his head and said that he had read the reports about himself, and it was not without exaggeration that his actions were despicable. However, he did not say that he would do anything to achieve his goals. He felt that what he did was actually a smart move. All three parties benefit, so why not? And it also made a good conversation, isn’t that great?
"Of course not! It's not the same place.
people! "
Zhang Lingling put down the fork in her hand angrily and said in a dumbfounded voice.
"Hey, Brother Kan, have you chosen the song for the next competition? We still have to rehearse, we only have a few days!"
As soon as Zhang Lingling mentioned this, she couldn't eat anymore. She pushed the plate aside and watched Jiang Kan continue to eat beef and potatoes. She felt that the other party was a little too heartless.
"You've chosen it, "Red Rose."
Jiang Kan swiped the phone screen with his left hand, looked at the next news, and answered the other party's question smoothly.
""Red rose"?"
"Why is this name so familiar?"
Zhang Lingling tilted her head and thought for a long time, and finally realized it! ….
"The song you gave Liu Yiliang is called "White Rose", and your song is called "Red Rose". Is it the same as "The Wind Rises", the same song with different lyrics?"
"Haha, Xiao Zhang is so smart, you guessed it right!"
Jiang Kan laughed and nodded affirmatively.
"Then, wouldn't you become a direct competitor with Liu Yiliang? What you have to face is Janice! Are you sure you can beat her with this song?"
Zhang Lingling was very puzzled. Why was he still thinking of singing a sister song with the other party when the external threat was so great now?
"Oh! I see. Are you trying to spark a new topic and draw the audience's attention to which of the two different versions of the same song is better, so as to avoid a head-on showdown with Janice? ?」
As expected of an old manager who has been in the music industry for many years, Zhang Lingling quickly thought of Jiang Kan's intention of doing this.
"But... is the quality of the song you mentioned so high? Can it compete with Janice? You know, ordinary songs have no power to resist in front of her. Your last song "New Royal Concubine" "Drunk" was so stunning that she suppressed it..."
After thinking about it, Zhang Lingling still didn't think that she could defeat her opponent just by changing her strategy.
"Ha, Xiao Zhang, when did you start to think that as long as I chose the right song, I would be able to beat an international superstar like Janice?"
Jiang Kanran smiled, pushed the dinner plate aside, and looked at Zhang Lingling at leisure and asked.
"Uh, this..."
Zhang Lingling suddenly got stuck in the shell too!
"Yeah, since when did I become so convinced that Kan will win first place?"
"You know, he is just a second-tier newcomer who has only been in the industry for half a year! Why do I always subconsciously compare him with those long-established singers?"
"Or is it that he has unknowingly grown to a point where people have to take a serious look at him and regard him as a strong contender for the championship?"
Zhang Lingling was shocked by her idea.
While Jiang Kan also has a clear understanding of himself, he also feels a little proud in his heart:
"In such a short period of time, I have established such a high image in people's hearts. It's not easy!"
