Xiang Ping hurried to the general manager's office to report the good news to her cousin.
Jiang Kan, who was sitting in his seat in the commissioner's office, was calmly accepting the rewards from the system tasks.
"Ding!"
"It has been detected that the host has completed the mission [New Officer Assumption I], and the mission rewards will now begin!"
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the mission reward: Random Music Treasure Box X1! Would you like to open it now?"
"I haven't completed any tasks for a long time... Let's start it."
Jiang Kan was caught off guard with emotion and said softly.
"Okay, the random music treasure chest is opening, please wait..."
"Ding!"
"The treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations to the host for getting the song: "A Laugh from the Sea", please accept it!"
"Oh? "A Laugh in the Sea"? Judging from the name, it sounds like a very domineering song..."
Jiang Kan said "receive" silently in his mind, and then put it into his system warehouse.
"Do you want to give it a try, host?"
the system asked.
"Of course I have to give it a try. I got a new mission reward after such a long time, so of course I have to listen to it!"
Jiang Kan lay down on the sofa in the living room and asked the system to start playing.
"Wow! What is this?"
As soon as the music started, there was a series of flute and guzheng sounds. Each one was faster than the other, and each one was higher than the other. It was like two people in a martial arts movie chasing each other in the air using Qinggong. You chase me, hurry up. I'm faster.
Then the strumming sound of the guzheng was clear and crisp, going back and forth twice, as if a beautiful woman in ancient costume suddenly appeared in front of them, and the two chasing people stopped to watch.
The singing began to appear. A strong male voice, accompanied by a soft female voice, sang the lyrics of this song majestically:
"The sea laughs, and the tide surges across the strait,
Ups and downs follow the waves, only remembering the present.
The sky laughs, and the world is flooded with tides,
God knows who will lose and who will win. "
The song is full of ancient charm, and contains a majestic and heavy atmosphere. A few lyrics seem to bring the listener into a strange, twists and turns but heroic and huge rivers and lakes. !
"It's amazing. Just a few lyrics can bring such a complex and magnificent feeling to people. The author of this song must also be a great musician on earth!"
Jiang Kan murmured to himself and listened to the song with excitement. The lyrics in the virtual subtitles in front of him also made him intuitively feel the profound knowledge of the lyricist of this song and his thorough understanding of Jianghu and martial arts. Z.br>
"Besides, this song is a Cantonese song! That's when I realized it!"
Jiang Kan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had gotten a song sung in Cantonese. Isn't this a timely help from the system? I am currently short of Cantonese songs!
"The country is smiling, the misty rain is far away,
The waves wash away all the beauties in this mortal world.
The breeze laughs, causing loneliness,
There is still a night photo left of the pride. "
Jiang Kan was sighing, but the song continued.
The repeated melody and different lyrics once again come one after another like stacked waves, constantly stimulating the listener's eardrums and brains, and strengthening the shape of the melody of the song.
The heroic and majestic music style makes people's hearts agitate if they follow it, as if they are standing in front of a turbulent river, looking at the rolling waves of the river in front of them, just like looking at the kindness in the world of mortals. Gratitudes and resentments, like the customs of the world, make people suddenly feel heroic and want to roar a few times with the sound of the waves to vent all the accumulated anger in their hearts.
"Good song, really good song..."
As Jiang Kan listened, he couldn't help but tap his right hand gently on his thigh. He followed the melody and hummed softly according to the lyrics on the virtual subtitles.
"Cang
Live laughter, no longer lonely,
The pride is still smiling foolishly.
La……"
The lyrics are short and repetitive.
But the profound meaning contained in the lyrics made Jiang Kan repeatedly shocked and a little ashamed.
Just a few lyrics like these describe the grievances and hatreds in a huge martial arts world vividly and vividly. It makes people feel like they are in a state of ecstasy and their blood rushes up after listening to it, and they will start to applaud it unconsciously!
If those young and enthusiastic young people heard this, I don’t know whether they would pack their bags and rush out of the house overnight to make a living in the world!
The song is short, less than 3 minutes.
But Jiang Kan is sure that no one will underestimate the song just because it is so short.
This is the condensed essence of a song. If it meets a suitable TV series or movie, it will be an extremely powerful super bomb that will explode people's hearts and make people feel the grievances and grievances in the world of Jianghu. Love and hatred.
Just when Jiang Kan was in a good mood and repeatedly hummed the new song he had just received.
The company's salesmen are still busy working at major entertainment companies, film and television companies, game companies, and film and television companies in Yangcheng.
They have all received the highest instructions from Manager Yu An. The new order must be priced at more than two million, otherwise Commissioner Jiang will not accept it, so it is useless to bring it back!
This new order has made these salesmen miserable.
Before, they went to some small and medium-sized companies to solicit business, but they didn't have much confidence and couldn't muster the courage to shout out a high price.
But now, Commissioner Jiang came here to guide the business, and suddenly shouted such an outrageous price!
This surprised the companies in Yangcheng who were used to prices ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands and couldn't accept it!
"Impossible! This is just the theme song of a martial arts movie. Are you asking me for two million? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
In a film and television company called "Dahe Pictures", Xiao Jiang, a salesperson from the Yangcheng branch of Feiyang Entertainment who came to promote business, was lowering his head and enduring the scolding from the other party.
"Don't you know what the box office level of martial arts movies in China is now? If I, an old-school martial arts fan, hadn't wanted to watch another martial arts movie produced by my own company on my 70th birthday, I wouldn't have made such an early movie. It’s an outdated genre movie!”
"We only spent 5 million on the entire film, and we only hired outdated old stars and some beautiful women. Thank God if we can break even at the box office! You actually charge 2 million for a theme song ?」
"What kind of evil has you, Feiyang Entertainment, got into? Are you crazy?"
The person who was scolding him was a short, fat man about forty years old. He had few hairs on his head, but he was very powerful. With every wave of his hand and his step, he showed his absolute authority in this film and television company. .
"In the past, when I cooperated with you, an opening song like this could be completed with a maximum of seven to eight million yuan. Why are you so loud today and asking for so much as soon as you open your mouth?"
He was angry and surprised, but in the end the fat man calmed down a little and asked in confusion.
After all, it is a company that we have cooperated with several times. Everyone knows the basics of it, and the cooperation has been very pleasant in the past few times.
But why did this guy ask for two million when he came over today and asked if he had any orders for them?
The fat man was very confused.
"It's like this, Mr. Wang, our previous cooperation was indeed very pleasant. The price of around 700,000 to 800,000 yuan is indeed more appropriate according to the market price..."
Salesman Xiao Jiang also looked helpless.
"But recently, didn't the headquarters send a specialist to guide our business and help us make some orders to open up the market here? Because this specialist is very powerful, he requires that all new orders we take must be from More than two million, and then he will make it himself..."
"It's hard for me to do this" appeared on Xiao Jiang's face.
With an expression on his face, he looked pleadingly at the benefactor in front of him.
"What? I sent a commissioner here? Why is the commissioner so loud and demanding that he has to ask for an order of more than two million before he can take it?"
The short, fat man known as Mr. Wang was tired of scolding. He walked back out of breath and sat in his large and thick executive chair. He picked up the cup and drank several sips of tea before finally relenting. Over came the emotions.
But as soon as he heard what the other party said, his unhappy feeling suddenly arose again, and he slapped the table and shouted.
"Yes...it's Jiang Kan. Have you heard of this name?"
"Jiang Kan? It's him?"
Mr. Wang suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Xiao Jiang in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.
"Of course it can be him, Mr. Wang, Jiang Kan is the most popular singer in our company recently, and he is also a famous songwriter! Didn't you see how many songs he arranged for "Xia Guo Good Singer" Have you? Those results are quite impressive!"
Since the other party knew about Jiang Kan, it was easy to discuss. Xiao Jiang immediately increased his firepower and began to praise Jiang Kan, praising Jiang Kan as the only composing genius in the world and on earth.
"You don't need to introduce me, I still recognize Jiang Kan...it's just..."
Mr. Fatty Wang felt entangled in his heart.
He is the second among three brothers in his family, who are in charge of three companies in the family business.
The old man celebrates his 70th birthday this year, and soon he will talk about retiring to the second line. Naturally, the three brothers want to fight over who can be the head of this big company.
The old man made three wishes, and whoever fulfills them to his satisfaction will prove who is the most suitable to lead this large enterprise.
One is a game company in charge of the boss. The task given by his father is to become the top ten domestic game companies in terms of sales this year.
The second child is me. Because he is in charge of a film company, my father, who is an old-school martial arts fan, requires me to make a martial arts movie with an expense of no more than 10 million, but must win at least 30 million at the box office.
Lao San is a TV drama company that specializes in the production of TV series, as well as variety shows and animation series. My father asked Lao San to produce a hit TV series that could reach stardom and have a ratings of over 2.5%.
Therefore, the three brothers from the three companies are risking their lives to complete the old man's test and compete for the helm of the family business.
If they all complete their tasks, whoever has the best results will win.
Mr. Wang naturally knows how powerful Jiang Kan is. As a practitioner in the entertainment industry, he has watched top domestic variety shows like "Xia Guo Good Singer" in one episode. Naturally, he knows that Jiang Kan has won the title of the show. The annual championship also relied on the music he composed to help Zhao Yu, Liu Yiliang and others achieve good rankings.
However, the task the old man set for himself was limited to 10 million, and the filming cost 5 million. No matter how much marketing was done, it would have to spend so much money, otherwise the theme of a martial arts movie that has become outdated, The young people who are the main moviegoers today are not interested. If you don't promote it, how will the old guys who know how to watch martial arts movies know that a new martial arts movie has been filmed here?
Do you just rely on yourself to post posts in major online forums and wait for water to come to you?
How many old men know how to surf the Internet?
And how many young people who can surf the Internet will watch a martial arts movie that has gradually become lonely?
So, this money...
The original budget for the theme song was only 500,000 yuan, and the maximum was 800,000 yuan, which also included the cost of hiring a singer.
But now, the guy from Feiyang Entertainment actually said that Jiang Kan can write songs for his movie?
But the cost is two million in creative fees?
Mr. Wang calmed down and sat back in his executive chair. He did not drink water or speak, and carefully thought about the pros and cons of this.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Jiang knew that the other party was beginning to seriously consider his words, so he did not dare to disturb him anymore and stood aside obediently, not daring to say a word.
a long time.
"call……"
Mr. Wang finally exhaled a long and heavy breath, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Jiang seriously.
"We can agree to your terms and let Jiang Kan do this order."
He said word for word, his words were very serious.
"Ah, really? That's so touching..."
Xiao Jiang was shocked!
I almost jumped for joy!
He seemed to see a huge bonus waving to him!
But the other party's words immediately made him stop what he hadn't said and calm down.
"but!"
Mr. Wang raised a finger and said seriously.
"We have one more request!"
"Is there another request? Say it, just say it. If we can do it, we will definitely do it!"
Xiao Jiang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and nodded in agreement.
"This song needs to be sung by Jiang Kan himself! Instead of looking for another singer!"
Mr. Wang has already figured it out. Jiang Kan recently took advantage of the stage of "Xia Guo Good Singer" to be in the limelight for a moment. He seemed to be crushing the first-line singers and chasing the public opinion limelight of the king of superstars!
If I could use his power to promote my own martial arts film with an outdated theme...
Maybe it can really attract the attention of some young people and turn their attention to this movie called "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes"?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became. Didn't pigs fly if they could stand on the wind?
So, can this movie of mine also use Jiang Kan’s fame to make a splash?
"Huh? Let Commissioner Jiang sing it in person? But... the two million we are talking about only refers to the cost of the theme song... If Commissioner Jiang wants to sing it in person, yes, yes, yes..."
Xiao Jiang was happy at first, and then surprised!
Fortunately, Commissioner Jiang's latest request is that it is best to get the other party to agree to let him sing the song he wrote. Isn't this good?
Surprisingly, the fee for the song and the fee for the singer are two different things. Commissioner Jiang is a popular singer recently. It costs at least 500,000 to 1 million to record a song, and there must be subsequent dividends...
Does the other party want to pack it up with two million?
Commissioner Jiang will not agree!
Just when he was struggling and didn't know what to say, Mr. Wang helped him say the next words in a reasonable way.
"You have to pay more, right?"
"We understand this. After all, she is a big singer, so she can't sing for free."
Mr. Wang waved his palms to stop what Xiao Jiang wanted to say next.
"However, our production costs cannot be exceeded for some reasons, so I make a suggestion. You can go back and ask your Commissioner Jiang to see if he is willing to accept it."
"That is, we will not pay him separately for his personal singing, but we are willing to pay him 3% of the total box office of this movie as compensation!"
"As for our films, he can also come to our company and watch them in person before making a decision to see if he is willing to agree to our suggestion."
"If he really doesn't want to pay this way, we can also pay the singing fee of 500,000 yuan - which is not low. After all, if we use another second-tier singer to sing, the price will be the same."
(Jiang Kan’s promotion to a first-tier singer was only implemented within Feiyang Entertainment. He has become a big star in the public’s mind, but in the industry, his qualifications are still very low and he is still a second-tier singer.)
"That's it, you can go back and report. If you are interested, we can continue the discussion."
After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he served tea to see off the guests.
