From Composer to Entertainment Superstar

After recording the song, Li Tao sent it to Shen Zhe. Wang Xuan returned to his office.

Nothing happened, Wang Xuan turned on his computer and casually browsed news related to the entertainment industry.

First of all, of course, I paid attention to the new song charts.

On the 15th, the number of downloads of the single "East Wind Break" has reached 44 million, and the number of downloads of the single "Half City of Smoke and Sand" has reached 33 million. Unfortunately, the income generated by the downloads of these two singles has nothing to do with him. He signed a contract at the time

It’s the revenue share from the new album of “Dongfeng Po”.

But Wang Xuan was also satisfied.

Lin Rui's "Dongfeng Break" album has sold 3.55 million physical albums and 14 million digital albums. The actual price of the physical album is 68 yuan a piece and the digital album is 15 yuan a piece.

After calculation, the total sales have exceeded 450 million.

When signing the contract in the morning, Li Tao also mentioned the operating costs of Lin Rui's "Dongfeng Po". The platform only takes 20%, and the company only takes 1.50%, which is equivalent to 6.5% of the total sales as pure income, while Wang Xuan can collect

6% share of net income....

17 million!

Yes, Wang Xuan has already received a share of 17 million yuan from the revenue generated by "Dongfeng Po" within 8 days of its launch.

Not bad.

Anyway, Wang Xuan was satisfied.

Of course, what surprises Wang Xuan the most is the song "The World". This single has currently been downloaded 25 million times, and Wang Xuan can get 40% of the revenue, which is equivalent to the revenue share of this song alone. Currently, Wang Xuan

Already got 10 million! In addition to the previous guaranteed 6 million...

In total, I earned 16 million.

A single has been online for 10 days and earned 16 million. How much can it earn in a month and a year? Can Wang Xuan not be surprised?

If this continues, over the course of a year, the profit sharing from the "Dongfeng Po" album, plus the profit sharing from the "World" single, will probably be enough for him to buy a river-view house here in Shanghai.

.....

On the other side, even though Shen Zhe tried every possible means to find Wang Xuan, and even acted like Wang Xuan couldn't do the theme song, in fact, just like you can't put all the eggs in the same basket, Shen Zhe can't put them in the same basket either.

Maybe all hopes are pinned on Wang Xuan.

When Li Tao sent the song to Shen Zhe, Shen Zhe was trying out the song and listening to theme songs sent by other composers.

But none of them satisfied Shen Zhe.

In fact, the theme songs made by many composers are not bad, the quality is not bad, and the lyrics can be regarded as fitting the script of "The Heroine". However, after listening to it, Shen Zhe always felt that it was a bit lacking in meaning.

"The Heroine" was actually completed half a year ago and has been submitted for review. It should pass the review before the 5th of next month.

This TV series has actually signed a contract with the TV station before filming. Once it passes the review, it will definitely be launched. But the problem before Shen Zhe now is that the theme song of the TV series has not been finalized yet.

"Before the first of next month, if you haven't received a suitable theme song, you can only choose one from these." Shen Zhe thought to himself. At this moment, there was a "ding" on his phone, and he received an email in his mailbox.

New mail.

Shen Zhe clicked on it and found that the sender was Li Tao. He clicked on it again and found that it was an audio file.

But it turns out that Wang Xuan's song has already been composed.

"Female Consort"?

"The title of the song is quite interesting, but I just invited the singer yesterday and sent the song today. Isn't this just perfunctory?" Shen Zhe frowned and didn't dare to hold out too much hope. He casually forwarded the audio file to the music manager next to him.

"I just received a theme song from Tianyu. Please play it on your computer."

"good."

Then, a piece of sweet music suddenly played. The perfect combination of flute, pipa, erhu, percussion... gave Shen Zhe and the music director of his company goosebumps.

"Old Shen, who composed this song? The intro is incomparable!" The person in charge of the music department paused the song for a moment and turned to Shen Zhe and asked.

"Wang Xuan."

"Wang Xuan in "Dongfeng Po"? No wonder. Let me just say, except Wang Xuan, who else can integrate the erhu pipa into modern music so perfectly." The music person in charge suddenly understood and clicked to continue playing.

After the prelude, a sweet voice came, ethereal and pure.

"My parents have been telling me since I was little

Huangmei Opera is not very easy to sing.

Imitate the figure of an adult

My wish came true”

This first verse of the verse made Shen Zhe and his music director shine. Not to mention the beautiful voice, the lyrics actually mentioned Huangmei Opera. Shen Zhe's "The Female Consort" was adapted from the story of Huangmei Opera's "The Female Consort", which is

It's not a secret in the industry, but none of the theme songs that composers wrote for him mentioned Huangmei Opera.

"Facing this consideration of love

Feng Suzhen is my role model

The story of the female consort grew up with me

Where is my young master?"

The second verse of the verse made Shen Zhe's eyes light up and at the same time he frowned. What struck him was that the lyrics of the second verse still fit the story of Huangmei Opera "The Consort", but what made him frown was

, the name of the heroine in the story of Huangmei Opera "The Female Consort" is indeed Feng Suzhen, but the heroine of the TV series "The Female Consort" he adapted is named Zheng Yueqin, and the lyrics also use Feng Suzhen's words, which seems a bit inappropriate.

As soon as this thought came to an end, a piece of Huangmei drama suddenly came out.

"To save Li Lang, he left his homeland.

Who would have thought that he would be number one on the imperial list?

The number one scholar wears a red robe

The palace flowers in the hat are so good and fresh.”

"Fuck!" The music director directly used the all-purpose word "fuck" when he was so shocked that he didn't know how to express it.

But my generation is uneducated, so we can get around the world with just "f*ck"!

"That's awesome!" Shen Zhe said in shock. The main songs at the first two ends were straight pop music. Who would have thought that the climax that followed was actually an opera from Huangmei Opera.

The key is that they are seamlessly connected and don’t look obtrusive at all!

This Wang Xuan's musical talent is really scary to death!

"This is a classic melody

How can I forget if I get drunk?

I wish I could go back to my original age

Let me sing along with the music

This is a classic melody

Take me back to that world

How much I want to continue this love with you

No matter how many storms there are in the future

Just like this opera”

After listening to this piece, Shen Zhe and the music director got goosebumps again. Because the soundtrack of this song is so awesome. It belongs to the type that can be listened to countless times without getting tired of it. It will definitely become a classic.

"I won't take the exam to show off my reputation.

I didn’t take the No. 1 exam to become a high-ranking official.

For the passionate Mr. Li

The love between husband and wife blossoms and the moon is full.”

The seamless transition of the drama after the transition once again shocked Shen Zhe and the music director to the point of being speechless.

Especially Shen Zhe.

You know, he just asked Wang Xuan to sing a song yesterday. The latter actually composed a song based on his script overnight, perfectly integrating the fragments of the Huangmei opera "The Female Consort" into pop music.

With this kind of musical talent, he deserves to be recognized as a top songwriter in just three songs!

"That's it!" Shen Zhe said, finalizing the theme song.

He finally understood why previous theme songs written by other composers always made him feel uninteresting. His "The Heroine" was adapted from Huangmei Opera. How could the theme song be perfect if it had nothing to do with Huangmei Opera?

And Wang Xuan's song is like tailor-made for the TV series. It's just...
