"Teacher Zhao, we meet again, your complexion is really getting better and better!"
On the crew of "The World Is Like a Picturesque", Jiang Kan once again met Zhao Yunyin who had already decided on her makeup.
"Haha, Teacher Jiang looks good too. Judging from your rosy face, you have eaten a lot of delicious food there in Yangcheng recently, right?"
Zhao Tianhou carefully smoothed a small strand of hair hanging down from her forehead with her little finger, and replied to Jiang Kan with a smile on her face.
"Oh? Teacher Zhao also knows that I went to Yangcheng?"
Jiang Kan put down the thermos bottle in his hand, swallowed the wolfberry water in his mouth, and looked into Zhao Yinghou's eyes curiously.
"Haha, not only did I know that you went to Yangcheng, I also knew that you composed and sang the theme song for a particularly "special" movie! "
Zhao Yunyin's eyes were shining and she stared at Jiang Kan openly.
"Teacher Jiang's song "A Laugh in the Sea" has become very popular in the past few days. Even the children who usually only watch cartoons will hum a few lines and then make fist gestures - so to speak , Mr. Jiang, have you unintentionally promoted the revival of martial arts movies?"
Zhao Yunyin recalled that when she was walking in the community, she saw a neighbor's five-year-old child doing bastard boxing while imitating and singing in poor Cantonese, "The sea laughs, the waves rise across the shore..." naughty scene.
She had never paid attention to any martial arts movies before, so she just praised the child for being lively and energetic out of social courtesy between neighbors.
Unexpectedly, the other party's mother was extremely happy. She praised her child so much according to Zhao Yunyin's words. When she was drowsy and couldn't walk away, the child started singing something again: " The country is smiling, the misty rain is far away, and the waves have wiped out all the beauty in this world..." Only then did she inexplicably feel that this song was still a little good. .c
So she casually asked what the song was, but the child looked at her with a bit of contempt and said, "You haven't even heard of "A Smile in the Sea". Old aunt, you are really behind the times!"
"What? Old aunt? Am I behind the times?"
With one word and two needles, Zhao Yunyin broke through his defenses and froze on the spot.
As soon as the neighbor's mother heard that something was not going well, she kept saying nice things, saying that the child was ignorant and you must not tell him. This child recently watched a movie with his father and that's all. He even kicked over a few flowerpots and made the whole house a mess. But don't tell me, Jiang Kan is really a genius. He became a hit with just one song. It stands to reason that this movie has already been popularized. Kung Fu movies that have been eliminated hahahaha...
"This song...was written by Jiang Kan?"
A keyword came into Zhao Yunyin's mind, and she realized it. She hurriedly said goodbye to her mother, who kept apologizing, and returned to her home. She turned on her computer and searched for this song on the Internet.
She can't help but not be touched. Jiang Kan has become very popular recently through the stage of "The Good Singer of Xia Guo". Even "The Legend of the White Snake" in which he plays the leading role as the White Snake has also recently received a lot of attention. It's because the song "Waiting Once in a Thousand Years" composed by Jiang Kan is so catchy and outstanding!
Originally, the director, screenwriter, and the actors all thought that the show would only have a ratings of 2% at the beginning, which would be too high. At the same time, this was also the professional conclusion given by the professional evaluation agency they hired after watching it. .
But who would have thought that after Jiang Kan's title song was added later, "The Legend of White Snake" a few days ago would directly reach a ratings of 2.3% in the third episode, which shocked the jaws of all the creators. !
They immediately launched another audience survey.
What surprised them was that in the results of the survey, in the check-box of "What is your favorite reason for this show?", the number of surveyed viewers who checked "The opening song is nice" actually reached an astonishing 70%!
And in the single-choice result "If you recommend this show to your friends, the biggest reason is", the number of surveyed viewers who checked "the opening song is nice" actually reached an astonishing 40% or more!
The entire crew was shocked!
It turned out to be the opening theme song "Xinbai" composed by Jiang Kan
The ratings of "Snake Legend" were even 0.3% higher than the highest value I expected?
Later it turned out that they thought too much.
The ratings rose to 2.41% in the fourth episode, 2.43 in the fifth episode, and jumped to 2.5% in the sixth episode!
Then it has been maintained at this data without falling!
They urgently launched additional investigations.
However, in the results of this survey, the proportion of viewers checking the above two questions increased to more than 80% and 50% respectively!
"Jiang Kan's songs can really attract customers!"
This is a sigh made by Zhang Mushan, the director of "The Legend of White Snake", and it is also the true feeling of the crew members.
This shocked Zhao Yunyin who received the news at that time.
You must know that TV series are the best things that can improve the nationality of actors.
The ratings are rising again and again, which means that her fame is also rising again and again!
So she elevated the importance of Jiang Kan in her mind, thinking that she would have more contacts with him in the future and strive to have him write songs for her next work.
Originally, Queen Zhao felt that she attached great importance to Jiang Kan.
As a result, after investigating the reality of the explosion of the movie "The Story of Laughter" after its release, I had to once again raise my awareness of the importance of Jiang Kan!
"If this movie didn't have "A Laugh in the Sea", it would be a nostalgic martial arts movie worth only 70 to 8 million yuan at most, and it would only attract some middle-aged people over 40, or those in their 60s and 70s at most. The old man just came to watch."
"But with the help of such a catchy and catchy theme song, it has become a blockbuster movie that will at least double the box office several times!"
When Zhao Yunyin was chatting with Ye Qian, another star of "The Legend of White Snake", the other party also mentioned his lament about "A Smile in the Sea".
"Jiang Kan's creative ability is really limitless. I thought that the electronic dance song "Ordinary DSCO" and the cross-female song "The New Drunk Concubine" were the upper limit of his abilities. Who would have thought that he could even compose the theme song of a martial arts movie with ease? Take it easy!"
Ye Qian, who is also a movie queen and played Xu Xian in "The Legend of White Snake", sighed sadly.
"It's like a song saved a movie... No, it saved a movie genre that was almost forgotten! Such a person is really terrifying!"
The two movie queens' chat at that time left a deep impression on each other.
But I am determined to have a good relationship with Jiang Kan in the future and get him to sing the theme song of my work.
Because his songs can really save lives!
"Haha, thank you, Mr. Zhao. The filming of the movie itself was excellent, and my song was just the icing on the cake."
Facing Zhao Yunyin's praise, Jiang Kan also expressed his modesty calmly. After all, the other party has been a veteran actress in the film industry for many years. Although he is about the same age as her, he is still a newcomer who has just debuted for half a year. It's better to be low-key.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, please stop being modest. Excessive modesty is also a kind of pride! The song "A Laugh in the Sea" is really a classic song that I have never heard in all my years of filmmaking that is so co-produced with the film. Song, just wait for this movie to become a hit and then it will be a big hit!"
After all, how could Zhao Yunyin, who has been in the film industry for many years and is already a movie queen, not guess that people would be willing to pay a share of the box office for a composer like Jiang Kan for such a low-budget film? This is also the norm in the industry, Jiang Kan It's impossible not to.
"Haha, let me lend you your blessing. To be honest, I am very satisfied with this song, hahahaha~"
For the sake of what the other party said, it would be too hypocritical for Jiang Kan not to respond directly, so he smiled boldly and acquiesced to the other party's praise of him.
"That's right. This movie will definitely continue to be popular because of your song. Teacher Jiang, you are too humble! From now on.
If I appear in any drama again, I will definitely ask Teacher Jiang to help me compose the theme song! "
Zhao Yunyin completed the transition from flattery to invitation very naturally, with no trace of the transition.
"That's for sure. Teacher Zhao, please contact me if you need anything. But in the future, when I want to learn acting experience and skills from you, please don't hide anything!"
The person carrying the sedan chair was carrying people, and Jiang Kan also knew how to deal with each other. The two of them just watched other actors filming in front of them and chatted beside them.
The staff who passed by all saluted the two of them very respectfully, as if they were putting Jiang Kan on the same footing as Queen Zhao, and their polite attitude didn't seem to be fake at all.
After all, this guy can make an outdated martial arts movie famous with just one song, so there will definitely be a chance to deal with him in the future!
After today's work, Jiang Kan's role in this crew has ended. Director Hu even specially held a wrapping party for him.
But because there was still a very important scene to be filmed the next day, the banquet was not large. A private room was opened in the restaurant where Jiang Kan originally heard their conversation. Several leading actors who had not finished filming were together with the director and screenwriter. It was just a simple meal, and I didn’t drink too much. After all, I still had to keep a clear mind.
"Xiaojiang, it's a pity that our movie had already decided on the opening, ending and theme songs early on. Otherwise, I would have asked you to sing one. It's a pity that I missed it..."
Director Hu looked at this "young man" who was very popular recently and was ten years younger than himself, and patted his shoulder with emotion.
"You know, it was a martial arts movie, and it was so popular that it was so popular because of your song! Now there are several directors in our country who don't want you to write and sing songs for them!"
He held a three-cent glass filled with rich aromatic white wine and raised it in front of Jiang Kan.
"I've long thought you were powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
Director Hu shook his head, looking like he was already a little drunk.
"And you are also very smart in acting. You haven't done more than 20 NGs in total, right? All the scenes were filmed. It's rare, it's rare!"
"Come on, let's go. I hope we can have another chance to cooperate in the future!"
Seeing the director praising him so much, Jiang Kan also raised his glass and had a solid drink with him. The spicy wine went down his throat, stimulating him to feel hot all over, but also very exciting. Ironing post.
After all, Director Hu is a well-known director in China, so it is quite a blessing for him to be willing to praise him so much.
"I have known Director Liu from "The Story of Laughter" for many years. He has always been fond of martial arts films since he was young and has made many martial arts films."
"But in recent years, people have watched less of it, and he has had no choice but to make other genres. But he has told me many times over the years that he must make another martial arts movie in his lifetime, and make one that can make everyone We all remember, we all respect, and we all applaud martial arts movies.”
Director Hu grinned and finished the glass of wine. Director Hu also had a look of emotion and aftertaste on his face. He wiped the thick beard on his chin with his hand, closed his eyes and smiled.
"At that time, I advised him not to think too much, and to be more pragmatic and make mainstream films such as urban and fantasy films. Sooner or later, declining things like martial arts will be completely replaced by fairy tale films."
Director Hu's eyes were filled with memories of the past, and his voice was much softer than when he was filming on the set. He was completely unlike the tyrant on the set.
"But he told me that this is his ideal and he will not give up. One day he will make a martial arts movie that the world will remember forever."
"And today, he seems to have done it - all thanks to you, Xiao Jiang, your song "A Laugh in the Sea" is so domineering and so timely! I even went to see one, and I was in the theater at that time. I was so shocked that I was shaking all over, and I wanted to grab a knife right away and rush to the screen to travel with the characters in the film!"
Director Hu said with some emotion
While talking, he poured more wine for himself and Jiang Kan, and continued to talk a little drunkenly.
"The moment the music started playing, I got goosebumps all over my body! It felt like the sound of wind, water, and swords were ringing in my ears!"
"Especially when the guzheng was being played back and forth. Really, I felt like the blood in my body was rushing to my forehead! I just regretted that I wasn't born in ancient times and couldn't walk around the world like the protagonist in it, a knight. Be righteous, rob the rich and give to the poor!"
"Liu Xinping's biggest wish in his life is to make a martial arts film that people will remember. Now, with your help, he has done it. It's really amazing to meet an excellent composer and singer like you. Like him, like me, like us, the luck of film and television industry practitioners who really want to do something practical for Xia Guo’s film industry!”
"Come on, Xiao Jiang, let me toast you again. Thank you for your music's contribution to our film and television industry. Cheers!"
