"Fuck!"
"Why didn't I think of that!"
Liu Weiqiang couldn't help but uttered a curse word, feeling as if he had cleared away the clouds and seen the blue sky.
Mai Zhaohui said proudly: "What is this called? I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, but suddenly I looked back and saw that man in a dimly lit place."
"We looked for so many musicians to write movie theme songs, but none satisfied us. When it comes to composing, Dalinzi had to write seven golden songs in three days. Who can compare with him?"
"The ready-made one is right in front of us, why should we look for someone else?"
"I'm confused, but it's not too late to wake up now!" Liu Weiqiang lightly slapped himself and pulled Mai Zhaohui to stand up.
The two came to the door of the lounge and looked at each other. Before they could knock on the door, the door was pushed open from the inside out.
"Director Liu and Mai will guide you..."
"I should be out of luck today, right?"
Guo Qilin looked confused, what was he doing so sneakily?
"No, no, no, we have something to ask you for."
"Let's go in and chat. It's not convenient to talk outside."
The two of them laughed and squeezed into the lounge, closing the door and locking it in one go.
"Is there something very important?" Seeing the two people's behavior, Guo Qilin frowned slightly.
"It's nothing..." The words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them out. Mai Zhaohui rubbed his hands in embarrassment and looked at Liu Weiqiang.
"Ahem, it's actually not a big deal."
"Come on, Dalinzi will sit down first."
Liu Weiqiang cleared his throat, moved a chair enthusiastically, and helped Guo Qilin sit down.
He paused and said:
"It's like this. The filming of "The Departed" is almost finished, but we haven't decided on the theme song for the movie yet. We also found a lot of Hong Kong musicians, but the songs they wrote were not very satisfactory, so we decided Thought of you."
He kept blinking, full of flattery.
"So, Director Liu, Director Mai, you want me to write the theme song for the movie." Guo Qilin raised his eyebrows, understanding and thinking that something big was going on.
Liu Weiqiang winked and said, "Yes, it's just such a small thing. If it's convenient for you over there..."
"Convenient, of course it's convenient." Guo Qilin looked serious. There was no reason to refuse to welcome a boy who brought money to his door.
"I won't trouble you, right?" Liu Weiqiang was ecstatic, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
"Little things."
"That's good, hahaha, if you ask me, Dalinzi is more reliable..."
"Yes, yes, Dalinzi didn't say it. It's really interesting."
Guo Qilin smiled slightly and said: "Eight million, thank you."
"Well……"
The smiles on Liu Weiqiang's and Liu Weiqiang's faces suddenly froze.
He asked blankly: "What, what eight million?"
Guo Qilin blinked and said: "Eight million, this is my fee for writing songs."
"hiss!"
"So expensive!?"
The two were completely dumbfounded.
They knew that Guo Qilin's songwriting was not cheap, but they didn't expect the asking price to be so high, eight million. The highest price offered by the musicians they were looking for was four million.
Guo Qilin doubled the price.
This is higher than his salary.
but.
They had no intention of spending money this time.
This time it was Mai Zhaohui's turn, and he said earnestly: "Da Linzi, to tell you the truth, all the investment given by Master Xing has to be used for film shooting and promotion, and there is no extra money at all. Look at what we usually book I can’t even bear to add chicken drumsticks to the lunch box. For eight million, the crew really can’t come up with it..."
It was a miserable sell-out.
Guo Qilin expected that the two of them were here to steal his wool today.
Usually it was Guo Qilin who was picking other people's wool. How could he be willing to be the sheep being picked out?
"Two directors, when you came in to ask me to write a song, what was your next sentence?"
"Is it convenient for you?" The two asked tentatively, not knowing why.
"inconvenient."
After saying that, Guo Qilin covered his head and said: "Two directors, I will tell you the truth. I wrote seven songs for Mr. Zhou Huajian and the others, which has exhausted my inspiration. It will take at least a year and a half to recover." , regarding the theme song of the movie, I’m afraid I can’t be of much help.”
"I……"
The two of them opened their mouths, not knowing how to continue.
Just listen.
Liu Weiqiang sighed. He knew that it would be impossible to defeat the wolf with nothing. He would inevitably bleed heavily today.
"Da Linzi, look, you are one of the leading actors in the movie, and the movie theme song is an indispensable part of the movie's release. You said, if the movie cannot be released, or is delayed, is it also a kind of problem for you? Loss? After all, you are also a member of this big family..."
Guo Qilin tilted his head, trying to see what good shit he could finally come up with.
"So Dalinzi, for this reason, can you give us a discount?"
"The crew really can't afford the money."
Liu Weiqiang just hugged Guo Qilin's thigh and knelt down to do the misfortune.
"That's it."
Guo Qilin rubbed his chin with one hand, thinking.
"Then seven million."
"I..." Liu Weiqiang said with a sad face: "Seven million, the crew can't come up with it."
Half an hour later.
It took the two of them a long time to negotiate the price from eight million to five million.
Guo Qilin finally pried these five million out of their pockets.
Guo Qilin also knows that these five million have reached the limit for the crew of The Departed Walker, and it is basically impossible to go higher.
As one of the leading actors in The Departed, he knew very well that the crew was really poor.
There was very little meat in the lunch boxes.
Five million more.
Guo Qilin is very close to becoming a billionaire.
"Da Linzi, the theme song depends on you. You must not be careless."
"If this movie fails, we will really lose everything."
Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhao were discouraged and bleeding.
Guo Qilin didn't want this movie to hit the streets, as it also involved his gambling agreement with Zhou Xingxing.
The more popular the movie, the more money he gets.
"Are you okay?" Liu Weiqiang was still a little worried.
Guo Qilin said: "Easy."
Isn't it just relaxing? The theme song of Infernal Affairs in the previous life has the same name as the movie. It is also a classic Cantonese song that is very popular and has been included in his playlist.
If I remember correctly, that song also won the Hong Kong Film Awards - Best Original Film Song.
Guo Qilin just used it directly.
This five million is just like picking it up for free.
certainly.
Guo Qilin was very considerate. In order to make Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui feel that their money was worth their money and that their money was not wasted, he took half an hour to write the song "Infernal Affairs".
