1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 11 Talents in the music industry!

Time flies by so fast, and it’s already May in a blink of an eye.

Wen Jun found a boss who invested in him as a director and screenwriter the year before to film the movie "Heroes on a Narrow Road" starring Jiang Wen and Wan Ziliang.

This boss is in the business of nightclubs and boat gambling. They are relatively generous people in the world. It doesn't matter. They also admire Jiang Wen very much, so he said yes, I am willing to invest, but he is only willing to invest part of it, not all of it.

cast.

So the movie "Sunny Days" was actually crowdfunded by Wen Jun and Liu Xiaoqing.

There are three companies that have raised US$1 million. One is the boss of Xiangjiang, who contributed 1/3 of US$330,000.

In addition, Liu Xiaoqing found some cigarette makers in Yunnan, because Yunnan was very good at making cigarettes in the early 1990s.

For the other 1/3, Wen Jun went to Taiwan Province to find an issuer. He was a very forthright man in the world, so there were three companies that came to invest.

After learning that Liu Xiaoqing and Wen Juan had raised US$1 million, Jiang Wen straightened up and began to devote most of his energy to selecting actors.

When it comes to selecting actors, Jiang Wen does it himself, and they must be chosen by him.

Including the male and female protagonists, Jiang Wen had to personally control the selection of all the supporting roles in the movie. He would never rely on anyone else. The assistant director would just help him find someone, and the final decision would still be his.

In order to find the ideal candidate in his heart, Jiang Wen asked the crew to continue to publish newspapers to look for the leading actor in "Sunny Days". He only had one request: "Looks like me!"

In addition to posting in newspapers to find the leading actor, Jiang Wen also continued to select actors for the guitar role.

For example, Yu Beibei, the second female lead in the movie, is charming and pure, and she must also be able to swim.

This stumped Jiang Wen. It was not difficult to find a beautiful actor, but it was not easy to find one who was beautiful, charming, pure, and could swim.

At this time, the staff reminded Jiang Wen: "How about going to the swimming team?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wen quickly came to the swimming team without stopping for a moment. After explaining his intention, the coach asked interested team members to come for interviews.

As a result, after going around, no one caught Jiang Wen's eye. He asked the coach, "Is there anyone more beautiful?"

When the coach saw this, he had no choice but to say: "If you want to find someone pretty, you can go to the Flower Club next door. The girls there are all beautiful."

So Jiang Wen ran to the Huayou Team again. Here, he had a keen eye and immediately fell in love with Taohong, who accompanied his teammates to the interview: "This girl was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes. When she smiles, her eyes are crooked, like

It’s like stepping out of a painting.”

Taohong never thought she would make a movie. At this time, she had just won the National Games championship and was very proud of herself.

Moreover, Taohong had read the original novel "Animals Are Ferocious" and knew that Yu Beibei was a "girl with a fox face." In her perception, girls with fox faces were not good children, so she said to the director: "This

The role is too frivolous, and since I don’t know how to act, I can’t act.”

Jiang Wen disagreed. He stubbornly believed that Taohong was the Yu Beibei in his mind, so he kept encouraging: "Don't worry, many actors in our crew are newcomers. As long as you work hard, you can perform well. I believe in you!"

In this way, under the deception of director Jiang Wen, Tao Hong took over the drama "Sunny Days".

May 8th, this day is Thursday.

early morning.

The first thing Jiang Xiaofeng did when he got up was not to have breakfast. Instead, he took a chamber pot and lined up with his neighbors to go to the public toilet.

There is a saying that the most troublesome thing about living in a large courtyard or alley is going to the toilet. Usually there is only one public toilet for dozens of households in an alley.

People in the alley joked that this was London, the capital of England.

After washing up, Jiang Xiaofeng carried a guitar and went to the snack bar to have breakfast.

The aroma of fried fried dough cakes and fried dough sticks emanating from the store penetrated Jiang Xiaofeng's nostrils and infiltrated his nerve cells.

Jiang Xiaofeng's breakfast was always very simple. He only needed a bowl of soy milk, two fried dough sticks, and one or two meat buns, and he was basically full.

Like many Beipiao people, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't get used to drinking bean juice. It had a rotten smell and he didn't dare to drink it. After drinking it in one gulp, it was sour and smelly, the kind of smell that can spread throughout the body.

Finally, I drank the soy milk.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Xiaofeng took the bus and arrived at Dadi Records. It was already 10 o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Xiaofeng came to Dadi Records this time for no other reason than to cooperate with Dadi Records to see if he could help him release the song "Those Flowers".

As luck would have it, Huang Xiaomao happened to have an appointment with a friend and was about to go out to meet him.

Huang Xiaomao himself admired Jiang Xiaofeng, but he had already made an appointment with his friend and didn't want to miss it, so he said to him: "Xiao Jiang, I'm going out to meet a friend, can you come with me?"

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't know who Huang Xiaomao was going out to meet, so he couldn't help but muttered: "Your friend? Is it appropriate for me to go?"

Huang Xiaomao smiled and replied: "Why is it inappropriate? We are all young people. Don't be too restrained. Once we get to know each other, we will become friends."

"Besides, like you, he also likes music and writes songs very well."

Jiang Xiaofeng thought to himself that there are too many people who like music, but not many are good at writing songs, and then asked curiously: "Teacher Huang, what does that friend of yours do?"

Huang Xiaomao thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be for advertising. I don't know the details, and I haven't seen him before."

It turned out that the friend Huang Xiaomao mentioned was recommended to him by his company colleague Shen Qing.

The advertising friend wrote a lot of songs and recorded a lot of song demos. After listening to the demos, Huang Xiaomao liked them very much and wanted to meet him in person to discuss cooperation.

Jiang Xiaofeng was also curious as to which advertising musician was so famous that he wanted gold medal producer Huang Xiaomao to visit him in person, so he followed Chong Qing and set off for the Asian Games Village in Huang Xiaomao's Lada car.

Like Jiang Xiaofeng, Shen Qing is also a creative talent. As early as the age of 19, Shen Qing composed his first lyrics song "Loneliness Because I Miss You" in the evening self-study class.

Shen Qing is a top student who just graduated from Huaguo Agricultural University, majoring in industrial management. Because of his love for music, he joined Dadi Records as a planner.

Because he had heard the demo of the song "Drum Tower" recorded by Jiang Xiaofeng before, Shen Qing felt that Jiang Xiaofeng was quite talented. He admired Jiang Xiaofeng very much and chatted with him about music.

Jiang Xiaofeng doesn't know anything about music. He can play the guitar and compose a simple song, that's all.

Therefore, during the chat with Shen Qing, Jiang Xiaofeng was mainly responsible for listening, and Shen Qing was basically talking.

When the conversation got exciting, Shen Qing suddenly remembered something and asked Jiang Xiaofeng: "Brother, how old are you?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly: "I'm 18."

Shen Qing was a little surprised. He looked at Jiang Xiaofeng's face and found that because it was a little dark, he must be in his 20s. He didn't expect that he was just an adult.

"So you are so young? Are you still a student?" Shen Qing asked again.

"No, I am now an authentic Beidiao and have been in the capital for two months."

Shen Qing suddenly said: "Oh, where is your hometown?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied: "Guangfu Province, how about you?"

Shen Qing smiled and replied: "I am from Leshan, Sichuan Province."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and asked: "Is it the Leshan with the Leshan Giant Buddha?"

Shen Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes! You also know the Leshan Giant Buddha."

"How could you not know that the Leshan Giant Buddha is so famous!"

Just talking like this, Huang Xiaomao drove his car and arrived at the Asian Games Village soon.
