The explosion made everyone in Tianhai very happy.
What a great start to the new year!
This year’s prize money has been accumulated.
The happiest people are Sun Chengshan and other members of the animation department.
After coming out of Torch, they went around in circles for several years, and finally they had a decent animation. While they once again made a splash in the animation industry, they also established a firm foothold in Tianhai.
The days to come will definitely get better and better.
Sun Chengshan and others are now very motivated and want to produce the second season of "The Movie" and launch it on the market as soon as possible.
In early April, the annual music festival was held in Dunhuang.
This year's annual music festival will be held later than in previous years. But the lineup is much stronger than last year.
Mainly last year Wang Xuan was not active in the music scene.
Except for a few important months, Tianhai has not released many new songs, which has also given other entertainment companies a chance to breathe in the music industry, and many new talents have emerged.
For example, the Best Newcomer of the Year, Most Popular Newcomer of the Year, and Most Popular Male Singer of the Year were won by singers from Huayi, Xingkong and Great Wall respectively.
Other entertainment companies have also made gains, large and small.
Of course, the biggest gain is definitely Tianhai.
After all, the heavyweight awards of Best Male and Female Singer of the Year, Best Album of the Year, Best Single of the Year, and Best Composer of the Year all belong to Tianhai, and no one can take them away. Even Qiao Ziwei, the winner of the Most Popular Female Singer of the Year Award. There is more or less the shadow of Tianhai behind him.
After all, the two most popular songs in Qiao Ziwei's new album were both written and composed by Wang Xuan.
Of course, Qiao Ziwei is also a good person. She returned to the music scene last year, but she was not active in the music scene. She released a new album and held two concerts. It can be said that she did not compete with her, and the purpose was not to cause trouble for Lin Miaoke.
If she wanted to cause trouble for Lin Miaoke, Lin Miaoke would be in trouble. After all, the gap between Lin Miaoke's popularity and hers was too big. There is a saying, no matter how bad her new album is, if it is cheered, it may not be worse than Lin Miaoke's new album, let alone her new album is not bad.
It's just that she doesn't lack anything, she has all the honors she deserves, and she has won them three or four times, so she is too lazy to bother.
As for the award for Most Popular Female Singer of the Year, it was actually her fans who fought for her. Fans think that when she returns to the music scene, not to mention the Best Female Singer of the Year, she should at least win the Most Popular Female Singer of the Year, right? So the fans are very active.
Qiao Ziwei didn't want to cut off the fans' enthusiasm, so she just let them.
Let’s talk about Tianhai.
Five years after her debut, Lin Miaoke finally got her wish and won the title of Best Female Singer of the Year, becoming an officially recognized diva.
No one else but herself could understand the feeling.
She remembered a lot.
Five years ago, she signed up for a large-scale girls' talent show held by Mango TV. She originally just wanted to give it a try, but she made it all the way to the top 16.
At that time, Morningstar Entertainment was eyeing her and even offered her a C-level contract. She looked at it and found that the terms of the contract were a bit harsh, so she declined on the grounds that she wanted to focus on the game. Morning Star Entertainment didn't say much, but asked her to think carefully, and said that Morning Star Entertainment's door would always be open for her.
Lin Miaoke thought Morningstar Entertainment was easy to talk to, but later found out that it was just that she was not taken seriously by Morningstar Entertainment at that time. After she passed the test again and broke into the top eight, Morning Star Entertainment's face changed.
The contract gave her a promotion, but she was ordered to sign it, otherwise she would not be able to continue on that stage.
Lin Miaoke refused, and sure enough, she only finished sixth in the eight-to-five event where she failed.
Afterwards, many entertainment companies offered her an olive branch, but after this incident, Lin Miaoke became cautious when choosing an entertainment company. After lingering for a long time, Tianyu extended an olive branch to her. After seeing Tianyu's loose and humane contract, Lin Miaoke resolutely signed a contract with Tianyu.
Of course, the main reason is that Tianyu has Wang Xuan. The song Wang Xuan composed for touched a soft place in Lin Miaoke's heart. Otherwise, she would not have signed a contract with Tianyu so easily.
Later it turned out that her choice was a good one.
It’s only been 5 years!
In 5 years, she has transformed from a newcomer to a singing queen. In the entire singing world, except for a few perverts like Qiao Ziwei, Wang Xuan and Chen Xueqi, who has the ability to do this?
Anyway, her dream of becoming a queen has come true.
But she immediately set a new goal. This year he will first stabilize his popularity, and in two years he will set up his own personal studio in Tianhai, aiming to challenge the super-A-list superstars.
In fact, Lin Miaoke has even greater ambitions.
She also wants to become an international diva like Chen Xueqi and become the second international diva in China to become a singer. It's just that this ambition is a bit big and far-fetched, and Lin Miaoke doesn't dare to tell anyone. She was just slowly working towards this ambition. What no one knew was that she had been learning English in private these days.
If you want to become an international diva, you must learn English. Who made English the mainstream in the international entertainment industry?
But why is English the mainstream?
Lin Miaoke secretly vowed that if she really became an international queen, she would slowly promote Chinese songs internationally.
Didn't Wang Xuan once say when he gave a speech at a music festival that Chinese songs are the coolest? Lin Miaoke wants to practice Wang Xuan's words. She wants Chinese songs to become internationally popular and resound in every corner of the world.
On the other side, Xu Yang was also filled with emotion.
He debuted three years earlier than Lin Miaoke, but his popularity in the music world is really average. Before singing, he was said to be a third-tier singer, but there was a lot of moisture in it. To put it bluntly, he was just a transparent person at that time.
Until Wang Xuan joined Tianhai.
Until that day, Li Tao suddenly approached him and asked him to sing the theme song of the movie. Everything became different, especially the song of the year, which directly made him popular all over the country.
Brands that were previously unattainable are now easygoing to him.
The variety show that used to be dismissive of him put down its status for him.
People in the entertainment industry who are notorious for bad mouths speak very nicely to him.
It would be a lie to say that I am unhappy.
Xu Yang was so proud of himself for a while that he felt like he was walking.
Until Li Tao scolded him, Li Tao asked him directly: Without Wang Xuan, who is he now?
Xu Yang was stunned for a long time before realizing that without Wang Xuan, he would still be the little transparent person who no one cares about, and there would be no accidents.
So, Xu Yang finally woke up.
He became humbler and worked harder. He knew that he had no creative talent, so he worked hard to improve his singing skills. If he wants to become the king of singers, even if he is separated from Wang Xuan, he will not be a transparent singer.
He did it!
Although he became the king of singers, a large part of the credit must be attributed to Wang Xuan. It was Wang Xuan who wrote a song for him, and album after album pushed him to the position of king of singers. But he also needs to have the singing skills to control those songs.
In the past, among those singing kings and queens in Hong Kong and Taiwan, how many of them were singer-songwriters? If they can prove to be the King of Taoist Songs and the Queen of Heaven, don't they rely on Huang Zhan and other songwriters to compose music for them?
So he is a veritable king of singers, a king of singers who has peace of mind.
It was finally worthy of Tianhai’s resources.
It is estimated that he will also open a personal studio next.
In fact, he wants Tianhai's shares more than his personal studio, but in Tianhai, the king of singers and the queen are not qualified to ask for shares, because they can't get a share. If they want to go further, they can only start a personal studio, which is also encouraged by Tianhai.
Putting aside the thoughts of Lin Miaoke and Xu Yang, on the other hand, after returning from the music festival, Li Tao went straight to Wang Xuan's office.
"Brother Xuan, there is a big order, and you may be asked to take part."
"What order?" Wang Xuan was curious.
"Director Lin Zhongmou started collecting theme songs for the Republic of China drama, and the other party offered 20 million."
20 million to collect a movie theme song is indeed a big order.
"Isn't the review of dramas in the Republic of China very strict? Has Director Lin's film passed the review?" Wang Xuan asked.
In this world, there are not many Chinese dramas about the Republic of China. The reason is that that period of history was so painful that it can be called the eternal scar of China. The review of the dramas of the Republic of China by the relevant departments is very strict and cannot be passed easily.
"After that, it is said that this drama was filmed at the request of the top management. The top management feels that no matter how painful it is, it is still history. History needs to be remembered by future generations. If we blindly cover it up, future generations will forget even history, that would be sad. "
"Okay. But don't we still have teachers Huang Zhan and Teacher Gu Jiahui in our composition department? I don't have to be involved in this theme song, right?" Wang Xuan was curious.
"I asked Teacher Huang Zhan and Teacher Gu Jiahui what they meant, and they both said they couldn't do it."
"Impossible! With the abilities of Teacher Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, how is it possible that they are not qualified for this theme song?"
"It's not a question of ability, it's a matter of price. The other party offered 20 million, which is obviously for you. Because the prices of Huang Zhan and Teacher Gu Jiahui are not 20 million, and 12 million for a theme song is considered top-notch. ”
"..."
All right!
It seemed that the other party was indeed coming for him.
After all, all the other party wants is the right to use the song.
It's not a buyout.
20 million to buy the right to use a song is a sky-high price.
"Will you accept it? If you don't accept it, I will push the order away." Li Tao saw Wang Xuan's silence and said again.
"You can give it a try and ask the other party to send over the script for a look." Wang Xuan said. Anyway, I'm free recently. There is another reason. Since Li Tao made the trip in person for this matter, he must have hoped that Wang Xuan would pick him up.
"Okay, I'll ask them to send the script in a moment."
Li Tao's movements were faster than Wang Xuan imagined.
Within half an hour, the script was sent over.
Wang Xuan took a look at it. The title of the movie roughly tells the story of the invasion of foreign powers. The people were oppressed and gradually awakened. Under the leadership of a certain hero, they rose up to resist and smashed some of the conspiracies of the foreign powers.
After reading the script, Wang Xuan had an idea in mind and decided on this song.
This song, in another time and space, is the theme song of "The Movie" and a movie of the Republic of China, similar to this one. They all tell stories about the invasion of foreign powers, the awakening of the people, rising up to resist, and saving the country in times of crisis.
It just so happens that Lin Zhixiang hasn't released a song for a long time, so I asked Lin Zhixiang to sing this song. It can be regarded as a warm-up for the movie Wang Xuan is about to start shooting.
Wang Xuan is not worried that this theme song will not pass the test. If this song cannot satisfy the other party, there are not many songs that can satisfy the other party.
Sure enough, when the other party received the score, he was immediately shocked. Because the lyrics of this song are so powerful,
"After sleeping for a hundred years, the Chinese people are gradually waking up..."
From the first lyric, the majestic momentum hits you.
"Open your eyes and look carefully. No one wants to be a slave. Because of shrinking and forbearance, people's arrogance grows..."
The second verse of the lyrics is full of imagery, and you feel as if you have returned to that era, when the foreign powers invaded, the Chinese people cowered and tolerated everything, but in exchange, the foreign powers intensified their oppression.
"The Great Wall will never fall, the Yellow River is surging, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful and verdant. Ask me how our country is infected..." The lyrics in the chorus made the film's music consultant widen his eyes. Because the writing is so magnificent, it seems that thousands of miles of Yellow River and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers can be seen in full view.
"The Great Wall will never fall" is more like a belief, a belief in the hearts of the people. The Great Wall symbolizes the country of China. The Great Wall will never fall. It symbolizes that the country of China will never perish. Even though it will experience various sufferings, when the dust settles, the Great Wall will still be the Great Wall. The country of China is still the country of China, and it is the country of China for the Chinese people.
"It's too strong, it's too strong! Director Lin, now I finally know why you would rather spend 20 million to ask Wang Xuan to compose the theme song. The lyrics and music of this song are majestic, and more importantly, it was filmed with us The theme of the movie fits very well," the music consultant lamented.
"Really? With the bonus of this song, our filming is already half successful. The rest depends on our skills." Lin Zhongmou said with a smile. He was also very satisfied with this one.
The day after receiving it, Lin Zhongmou personally went to Tianhai to sign the contract and expressed his gratitude to Wang Xuan.
Li Tao was not surprised at all that he met the other party's requirements.
When has Brother Xuan ever made a mistake?
I didn't expect that Lin Zhongmou would go there personally for this matter. It should be noted that Lin Zhongmou is a great director, a director even greater than Chen Kai, and he is the No. 1 existence in the Chinese director circle.
In another time and space, Zhang Yimou is awesome, right? The opening ceremonies of the BJ Olympics and the Winter Olympics were all led by Zhang Yimou, which shows Zhang Yimou's status in the Chinese entertainment industry. Lin Zhongmou's status in China's entertainment industry is similar to Zhang Yimou.
For this theme song, Lin Zhongmou actually traveled to Tianhai in person, which shows how much he loves this theme song.
