With Mr. Wang's trust, Lao Lu personally visited the Yangcheng branch of Feiyang Entertainment.
Manager An received him very warmly, but Jiang Kan happened to be away, so Lao Lu still felt a little disappointed because he could not see this great composer in person.
"Haha, we understand what Mr. Lu means. Thank you for your company's trust in us."
When he thought of the other party's tone, which was many times softer than before, and the hint of pleading, Manager An felt an uncontrollable soreness all over his body.
Before, I always begged the other party to hand over the orders to them.
Now the other party is asking him to take the order!
Well, actually it’s not that exaggerated. The other party just said that in view of the good publicity effect of "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry", they have seen Jiang Kan’s ability, and then asked that the order be handed over to Commissioner Jiang to do it, and also let him sing it himself. .
But he just couldn't help but feel happy. The big order of two million yuan came just as soon as he thought, and he even took the initiative to initiate cooperation. How long had it been since the branch had encountered such a "good thing"?
When they were discussing in the office, he deliberately did not close the door to the general manager's office.
Just so that other employees in the company can see someone coming to "beg" them to take orders!
Pretending to pour water, go to the toilet, deliver documents... Employees passed by one after another, and they all took a thorough look at the situation inside, and then in private, among the company's employees (without leaders) group) were talking a lot.
"Hey, Commissioner Jiang, this is really awesome! Lei Ming Film and Television, who was so arrogant before, now actually comes to our door and asks us to take orders?"
"No, Commissioner Jiang is so awesome. Do you know the sales volume of "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry" these days? It is said that his promotional song "Butterfly Love" alone attracted more than 20% of the buyers !」
"Haha, to tell you the truth, I also bought this game myself. Oh my god, the song "Butterfly Love" accompanied by the plot inside really tortured me to death. It made me cry to death! But after I finished crying I feel very happy again, it’s been a long time since I heard a song that is so in tune with the game plot!”
"Good music naturally complements the work carrier, so that it can better arouse the emotions of the audience and players. It seems that Commissioner Jiang is also very involved in this aspect!"
Amid the heated discussions among the employees, Manager An had reached an agreement with Lao Lu.
The opening theme of this TV series produced by Leiming Film and Television will be created by Feiyang Entertainment Yangcheng Branch.
The creative cost alone is two million yuan.
Then the other party named Jiang Kan and asked Jiang Kan to sing in person. After some debate between the two, the singing fee was set at 1 million yuan.
In other words, the total price is 3 million, and then Jiang Kan can get 40% + 20% = 60%, a pre-tax income of 1.8 million.
However, neither of them looked overly surprised. Three million was indeed a huge amount for many small companies.
But both of them are experienced veterans, so they won't be too shocked by the price.
"Then I look forward to Commissioner Jiang's visit. I'm really sorry. This drama is still in post-production and I can't send the finished film to your company for viewing. Commissioner Jiang can come over within the next two weeks to watch the previous introductory film in person to better understand Make songs.”
Lao Lu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Even if the deal is settled, it will be seen whether Jiang Kan really has such strong creative power and influence.
"Haha, no problem. This is all to ensure that the plot of the TV series is not leaked. We understand that Commissioner Jiang will also sign a confidentiality agreement with you separately at that time. The content of your TV series will definitely not be revealed."
The two stood up and shook hands to say goodbye.
What was left on the table was a formal contract signed by both parties.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
During this half month, Jiang Kan gradually got used to life in the south, and his eating habits gradually changed to those he had when he first arrived more than ten years ago.
I have always followed suit and started to eat the light food here. Recently, I have become especially interested in barbecued pork and plain chicken.
The progress at work was also relatively smooth. He went to Lei Ming Film and Television twice and watched the content of their new drama to understand what kind of story it was.
It was a modern scientist who traveled to ancient times - specifically the Qin Dynasty. He investigated the customs and historical figures at that time, and left video images of the time when the First Emperor ascended the throne. However, he had to stay in that era due to an instrument failure. It ends up being a story where a historical figure cannot return to the present day.
Although it was just a promotional video, Jiang Kan was shocked after watching it.
Not only is the plot and story excellent, but the level of professionalism of the actors in it is not comparable to those from the north of China (relative to Yangcheng) that I watched with my ex-wife before, or even some actors who have been famous for a long time. .
When you say hitting, it's a real beating, when you say jumping, it's a real jumping. It's definitely not the "fake fighting" mode of standing still and watching the sword fly in the sky with a few hand gestures!
Moreover, these actors do not avoid the cold and heat. After one year of filming, even the actor from Xiangjiang who plays the protagonist has been tanned from a handsome young boy to a black charcoal. It is so admirable that I can't help but admire him. A thumbs up!
"System, the plot is like this. Do you have any songs in your music library that can be customized?"
He asked the system.
"Yes, it's just a coincidence that there is a song that suits it very well."
"What about the price?"
"It's just a coincidence that there is a TV series on Earth that is very similar to this one, so it's effortless to find it, and the customization price is still 500,000."
"You're so good at the system, let's customize it!"
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for getting the customized song - "Destiny is the Highest"! Would you like to listen to it now?"
"Let's play it. Now that I have a decent knowledge of musical literacy, I should be able to easily tell whether this song is suitable for this TV series."
Jiang Kan confidently asked the system to start playing the song.
But as soon as he started, he was shocked by the song called "Destiny is the Highest"!
Cars rattled, horses roared, and the chilling battlefield atmosphere instantly filled his ears!
The prelude of that golden-armed and iron-horse swallowing up thousands of miles like a tiger made him instantly feel that he had returned to ancient times, on an extremely vast and desolate battlefield, witnessing with his own eyes the majestic and exciting collision of tens of thousands of chariots during the Warring States Period. The majestic feeling of hundreds of thousands of soldiers bathing in blood on the battlefield!
Immediately, a low, deep male voice, which although not particularly professional but felt very in line with the atmosphere of the song, began to sing the lyrics:
"Who begs whom?
In Spring and Autumn, they only listen to the orders of heaven and earth
destiny,
Who can turn their fortunes around? "
"Wow, it feels so comfortable. It's like my brain is trying to kill the chicken. The atmosphere is so full!"
Jiang Kan held his head while thinking back to the scenes from the TV series he watched on Lei Ming Film and Television, and couldn't help but feel his mood stirring with the songs.
It was as if there was a burning passion in my chest, making me wish I could return to that magnificent historical scene like the protagonist in the film, so that I could become history and a legend!
"No one has anyone,
Chaos can also be settled,
Who is tampering with the plot?
"
Jiang Kan covered his ears, twisting his body like a rock fan wearing headphones, humming along with this majestic song.
And he also noticed that the singer also sang this song in Cantonese.
There was a very strange feeling lingering in his brain.
That's why this kind of song, which is rich in historical spirit, sounds so good when sung in Cantonese.
Coupled with the scenes from the TV series promotional videos I saw at Lei Ming...
Just feel
As if he were a character in the play, his whole mind was completely immersed in this chant that could penetrate the soul.
"Don't be happy,
Don't think it's called the ancestor.
Long Live Chitose will be created according to your wishes!
next life,
Never mind who is called Gaozu,
Don't bet,
Destiny is the highest!
"
At this time, the climax of the song arrived unexpectedly. The sudden increase in the melody made Jiang Kan's head feel as if he had experienced an electric shock. Especially after watching the promotional video, he could still At this moment, I think of the domineering look in the young Shi Huangdi's eyes when he first ascended the throne in the play!
This made him shiver uncontrollably, and he had goosebumps all over his body!
After a few minutes, the song ends.
Jiang Kan felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He walked back and forth in the living room, his hands trembling with excitement and he didn't know where to put them.
"Awesome, so awesome!"
He clapped his hands hard and made a loud "pop" sound!
"I don't need to tell anyone else, but I just want to say that I can't wait for this TV series to be finished as soon as possible so that I can watch it all at once. It will be a blast to watch!"
Jiang Kan stood in front of the window, opened the window, and gasped hard while facing the window.
"It turns out that a good opening song can really make the audience have such a strong sense of anticipation for the series and the desire to watch it!"
He recalled the feeling of the song echoing in his mind just now, and he felt that his scalp was still a little numb now.
"I am like this, let alone ordinary TV viewers. I think this song "Destiny is the Highest" can help double the number of views of the TV series!"
"call……"
He breathed a long sigh of relief, gathered his thoughts again, and then quickly walked into the company's specially prepared workshop and started recording the score and lyrics of the song.
As soon as she went to work the next day, Xiang Ping came to his office and handed over a movie ticket:
"Good morning, Commissioner Jiang. Dahe Pictures has sent you movie tickets for "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" and invites you to watch the premiere."
Jiang Kan took the ticket and looked at it, it was tomorrow night.
"Oh? Are you so polite?"
he said curiously.
"Haha, let's not mention that you are the creator and singer of the opening song. Just because of your identity, you are here to support them!"
Xiang Ping said quite proudly, feeling as if the person invited was not Jiang Kan but herself.
"They are trying to kill two birds with one stone. Not only will your songs bring them more audiences, but if you go there, you will also bring them a lot more exposure and influence..."
She spread her hands and said, isn't this a common practice among capitalists?
"Well... I know, there have been a lot of people interviewing me recently. It's a pity that I didn't ask them for an extra promotion fee..."
Jiang Kan also gave a wry smile. There was nothing he could do about people taking advantage of his affection, so he just regarded it as a good relationship.
"By the way, bring over all the unfinished orders from before and let me take a look."
Jiang Kan seemed to remember something and ordered Xiang Ping.
The previous seven or eight orders were reluctantly dealt with by the employees of the company's composition department one after another with not very high quality. There are still a few orders that are relatively long and have not been pushed by the other party. .
"Oh? Okay, please wait a moment."
Xiang Ping said.
After a while, she came over with some information.
"Call Zhao Junping over for me again, thank you."
Jiang Kan looked at these lists one by one, and then gave instructions.
After a while, Zhao Junping came over.
"Xiao Zhao, you have been studying with me for more than twenty days, right? How is it? Do you have any new insights?"
He put the list aside
, looking at the other person standing respectfully in front of him.
"Master taught me well. I have learned a lot. I feel that my composition ability has improved a lot! I looked at many of the things I wrote before and felt that they were too mediocre. There were many areas for improvement. At that time Why couldn't I think of that?"
Xiao Zhao touched the back of his head, still a little embarrassed when facing his master's question.
But the look in his eyes showed that he was still more confident than before.
"It's good if you make progress. I called you here today because I want you to try this list. You can take it back and take a look at it. I'll write a simple first draft in a week and I'll take a look."
After saying that, Jiang Kan handed the other party a music request list.
This is a list of anime title songs worth 500,000 yuan, not too much, not too little, but definitely a price that the previous Zhao Junping would have been daunted by.
It tells the story of a peaceful animal kingdom where everyone lives like humans and has a complete social security system. A group of cats formed a forest police station to maintain the peace of the animal kingdom.
It was probably a cartoon for children around ten years old. Jiang Kan looked at it and decided to give it to Zhao Junping as an assignment and let him practice by fighting.
"Are you confident?"
When Jiang Kan handed him the list, he looked into his eyes and asked.
"Have confidence! I feel that after your guidance, I have a deeper understanding of composition. I promise to live up to your expectations!"
Seeing that his master trusted him so much, Zhao Junping's eyes were full of energy. For so many days, every time he came back from a class with his master, he would be gossiped about by his colleagues. He had endured this tone for a long time.
You must make this list well and do it beautifully, so as not to embarrass the master and make them look down on you!
