Chapter 95 The song is good, but it’s a bit wasteful. (Please vote and add it to your favorites)

spring flowers bloom

autumn wind

and the setting sun in winter

melancholy youth

When I was young, I thought so ignorantly

Windmills in the Four Seasons

In the song of reincarnation, it flows every day

In the poems of romantic romance

I am growing every year

"The Story of Time" by Luo Dayou

Meili listened quietly, without saying a word until the end.

After a while, he said: "Brother-in-law."

"Um?"

"You will definitely make money on your investment."

That broken voice

Zhang Xiaodong feels as if he was born to sing these folk songs.

My favorite music styles mainly focus on folk, post-rock, soundtrack, Jazz, etc. I especially like folk songs.

I will never rest until my ambition is fulfilled,

"This song can help you make money even if you lose money!"

There are not many in number, but all of them are excellent works. The strange thing is that it was not written by her herself, but by a person named "brother-in-law".

Still in that simple office, when Yu Dongqing played the song "Story of Time", Li Wan's eyes turned red as he listened.

"Less than a month's publicity cycle?" Yu Dongqing was a little surprised after hearing this.

"Thank you for what? Now we are partners, let's talk about the subsequent issuance situation." Yu Dongqing said.

"Why?"

"Holly, thank you." Wang Dongsheng is a person who is not good at words and doesn't know what to say.

We want to avoid the Spring Festival period, but you insist on releasing it here and at this time?

Do you really know that there are tigers in the mountains, so you go to the tiger mountains?

The two looked at each other and looked at each other.

Although Wang Dongsheng was very hungry, he was very excited.

Today, the snow is beginning to clear.

"Hey, the construction schedule is tight, and the budget is tight." Li Wan was a little embarrassed. Also, he wanted to avoid the prime time of the Spring Festival.

"Damn it." He suddenly uttered a curse word and quickly apologized: "Mr. Yu, I'm sorry."

Yu Dongqing said patiently: "Also, another advantage of delaying the release is that the publicity cycle is lengthened, which can increase the popularity of the film. The publicity cycle of less than one month is too short."

I once wrote a ballad for a girl at this summer's Midi Music Festival. It was very nice, but it didn't spread, and it didn't appear on Xia Meizi's homepage.

"According to the progress, it will be completed by early December. The film needs to be sent for review, and after necessary distribution and promotion, we can release it around January 10th." Li Wan said simply.

I will show my talents in the future,

"Then how about we just postpone it and arrange it during the Spring Festival?" Yu Dongqing put forward his own opinion.

Maybe, there will be a day when I can feel proud?

"Okay. I'm responsible for producing the songs, and everything else depends on you." Yu Dongqing stood up and stretched her sore neck.

A hoarse singing voice came from the corridor:

Let’s have a celebration drink together the next day,

"I just sing and write songs, and I also invest some money as an investor. I'm not a director, actor or producer. I've said everything I need to say, so you don't need me for those things."

He listens to music for two to three hours every day, usually in the dead of night. It feels great to listen to music with headphones late at night. He feels that he can think about many things in his mind.

Later he learned that this "brother-in-law" was named Yu Dongqing, and he now worked for Jinye Records as a music editor.

Wang Dongsheng next to him also had an excited look on his face. He felt that what he wanted to say in the movie, and what he had yet to say clearly, were all in this song.

This year's Spring Festival is full of blockbuster movies, with stars from all walks of life appearing one after another. He doesn't want this movie to be used as cannon fodder.

Look at the time, it's already evening, and there are stars outside.

Yu Dongqing kept his word and transferred 1.9 million to the crew's account the next day. In the afternoon, he drove to Qishushu alone.

In particular, he liked the song "Love Song 1990" very much. Not to mention the melody, but the lyrics, it was simply a beautiful prose poem.

I heard that six movies will be released during the prime time of the Spring Festival this year. There will be a large number of blockbuster movies, such as "Hello, Teacher", a small-budget movie. Are there any popular stars joining the movie, dare to take a look at this excitement?

Don't lose your pants then.

How about giving it a try?

"If we want to increase the popularity of the film, we must increase publicity, find a breakthrough, and strive to achieve the maximum effect at the minimum cost." Yu Dongqing concluded.

Spring Festival prime time?

Damn it!

It's just what I heard.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaodong can only say that it is based on hearsay.

"Yes, since you all said it sounds good, we will use this song as both a theme song and a promotional song!"

Yu Dongqing listened thoughtfully: "The Chinese New Year is relatively late this year, it seems to be at the end of January, right?"

When he writes songs, he is very mixed, including folk songs, rock songs, pop songs and even Internet songs. He also sings them himself, but only the ballads he writes.

Yu Dongqing smiled.

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

"You won't come to the publicity and roadshow later?" Wang Dongsheng was surprised.

There is actually an update, and a song!

The Spring Festival period is a must-win for movies, and it is also the time when the box office explodes. A year's movie box office records are often produced during this time period, but the competition is extremely fierce. If you are unlucky and the movie has a poor reputation, it will not earn the filming rate.

You didn't even have any scum left, you just cried and fainted in the toilet.

He clicked on the audio and was not in a hurry to listen to the tune. Instead, he focused on the lyrics. This was a habit he had when listening to folk songs.

"January 27th is New Year's Eve." Wang Dongsheng interrupted.

The era of fluttering white clothes.

Yu Dongqing naturally understood their worries and said with a smile: "I have analyzed that as long as there is a 3% filming rate and a 30% attendance rate, our movie will not lose money. After all, the investment is less than 10 million. This movie brings

It has a light comedy element and is very suitable for the Spring Festival."

The cycle went on over and over again.

The three of them started to put their heads together, and after much discussion, they finally decided to follow Yu Dongqing's idea of ​​releasing the song first, then the movie's promotional poster, and finally conducting the necessary road shows.

According to what I heard.

"Okay, Holly, your song really reminds me of when I was in middle school..." Li Wan wiped his eyes. "This song is a perfect match for this movie."

Is this a lyric?

This is really a poem.

Even if there is no melody, it is still a good poem!

When the familiar hoarse voice sang this song, Zhang Xiaodong felt that he was taken back to his middle school days.

this?

"Believe in yourself." Yu Dongqing patted Wang Dongsheng on the shoulder and said hello to Li Wan: "Let's go!"

"You mean to use your song "The Story of Time" as a breakthrough?" Li Wan instantly understood what he meant.

He listens to songs mainly from the Internet, such as NetEase Cloud, QQ Music, etc., but recently he noticed a song uploaded by an UP owner named Xia Meizi on Station B.

After listening to Yu Dongqing's words, Li Wan and Wang Dongsheng looked at each other and exchanged looks.

He feels that a ballad is a poem or a story. If the lyrics cannot be written well, what kind of ballad is it?

When he saw the lyrics of this song called "Story of Time", he was stunned.

Sprinkling blood to write about the Spring and Autumn Period

Tonight, as usual, he made a cup of steaming Longjing tea, lit a cigarette, and put on his headphones. He first opened Station B to see if the Summer Plum homepage had been updated.

Zhang Xiaodong is a music influencer on the Internet. In addition to his own Weibo, he also has his own homepage on domestic music platforms such as NetEase Cloud and QQ Music. He is also the best-operated music platform on Lofter, the best-operated light blogging platform in China.

One of the blogs with millions of fans on various platforms.

"It's okay, we are all friends, just call me Dongqing."

Until I finally smoked my last cigarette.

Oh shit!

The song is good, but it's a bit wasteful.
