Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Ping made a call to Roman.

As soon as the call came through, the other party said: "That's weird."

"What's weird?"

"You guys will call me first?"

"What's this?"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "You are my elder sister. Isn't it normal for me to call you?"

"Oh, this old lady screams happily, why do I feel something is wrong?"

"No no……"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Isn't it because I'm too tired from filming and I miss you, sister?"

"Yeah?"

"Of course...what...have you released any new songs recently?"

"There haven't been any new songs recently, but the company wrote one for me, and I feel like the rhythm is just average."

"It's okay. Send me the music and I'll see if you feel it."

"OK."

hang up the phone.

After a while, Roman sent Chen Ping a simple musical score.

Chen Ping took a look.

Sure enough, the melody of this piece is indeed average.

Unlike Roman's previous human world, that year in a hurry... Even if there are no words, I still feel that these chords are very beautiful.

But this song.

Just looking at the music, I can only say it is average.

It's not particularly full, and there's no special skill in it.

It seems like an ordinary song composed by an ordinary singer.

but……

Sometimes, lyrics can bring a magical touch to some songs.

Although the melody of this song is simple, Chen Ping has great feeling for this piece.

All right.

It’s not about feeling.

But Chen Ping in his previous life really remembered this song too well.

"Sister, I've filled it out for you."

"So fast."

"Who am I?"

Chen Ping smiled proudly and said: "Sister, let me tell you, after this song, I guess there will be few people in the music world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

"I'll go, brother, this tone is too loud."

Roman said: "Although I have released a lot of new songs in the past year or two and achieved good results. But before that, I was in the film industry. In the singer circle, you see, not long ago at the Hong Kong Music Association, Lin Yilian They are also my competitors. In addition to them, there are a series of queen-level figures in Hong Kong. It is too difficult for me to completely surpass them."

"I know."

Chen Ping nodded: "Let's talk about it after reading the lyrics."

Say it.

Chen Ping sent Roman the lyrics he had just filled out.

"This kid..."

I wanted to chat with Chen Ping again, but when I saw Dududu's voice on the phone, Roman prepared to read this poem first.

"ah……"

Staring at Chen Ping's lyrics, Roman almost couldn't believe it.

In fact, she was not particularly satisfied with this song.

Because of this, she had never thought of asking Chen Ping to write lyrics before.

After all, the chords are too simple and there is nothing to fill in.

But.

When he saw the lyrics written by Chen Ping, Roman was already so excited that he couldn't help himself.

…

After Roman.

Chen Ping originally wanted to contact Lin Yilian.

but.

For the time being, Lin Yilian is still Roman's main competitor. We will wait until Roman stabilizes his position.

But regardless of Lin Yilian, Li Zongsheng can still be considered.

Immediately, Chen Ping sent a message to Li Zongsheng.

"Brother Zong Sheng, do you have any new songs recently?"

"Don't ask sir..."

"What sir? I'm younger than you. You really don't dare call me husband. Just call me Chen Ping."

"Haha, that's okay. I also want to contact you. I wrote a song recently, but I just haven't figured out the lyrics. I wanted to contact you, but I'm afraid you don't have time."

"How come? I like your song very much. Send me the score."

"Okay."

Li Zongsheng immediately sent over a song he had just composed not long ago.

When he saw Li Zongsheng's music, Chen Ping clapped his hands and said, "Yes."

"Ah, this is it?"

"I have feelings. Brother Zong Sheng, you and I are both songwriters. When I have feelings, I can write dozens of songs a day."

"That's true."

Li Zongsheng deeply agreed.

certainly.

But he didn't know that Chen Ping was completely copying.

Not only was he copying, but it was Li Zongsheng himself who copied.

However, does copying yourself count as plagiarism?

Of course this doesn't count.

Chen Ping just returned the other person's thoughts to the other person.

"Give me 5 minutes."

Facing the music score, Chen Ping took out his pen and wrote: "You and I are both mortal, born in this world..."

Yes.

This song is Li Zongsheng’s mortal song.

Although this song is called Mortal, it has an unparalleled power.

When Chen Ping sent this mortal song to Li Zongsheng.

Li Zongsheng jumped up excitedly: "Chen Ping, you are really amazing."

"You know, I have such an idea in my mind, but I don't know how to express it at the moment."

"You are simply a genius..."

A turn of excitement.

Li Zongsheng was very grateful to Chen Ping.

But Chen Ping said: "It's okay, it's okay, we are all friends. Forget the lyrics fee this time, I will do you a favor, and you will do me a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

"Recently I participated in a Volkswagen endorsement event, but there were ten candidates. The others were all first-line celebrities like Hu Ge and Huo Jianhua, and my popularity was slightly less. Otherwise, what about you? This song will be released tomorrow to help me gain popularity."

"Of course you can."

Without any hesitation, Li Zongsheng agreed directly.

…

"Who else?"

After Li Zongsheng, Chen Ping was thinking about who else to ask for help?

Chen Ping knows a lot of people in the circle, but for such an event, not just anyone can help.

He must invite front-line celebrities and influential people in the industry.

otherwise.

When Chen Ping approached Xiao Linzi and the others, they probably tried their best to help Chen Ping gain popularity, but they didn't get a single win.

certainly.

Chen Ping also knows some first-line celebrities.

For example, Hu Ge, Huo Jianhua...

But they themselves were involved in the event and were Chen Ping's competitors.

As for some other actors, Chen Ping knew them while filming.

Although it is not impossible for Chen Ping to ask them for help.

But this kind of thing happened too abruptly, and Chen Ping didn't want to make things difficult for others.

It's a taboo to ask someone for help before your friendship reaches a certain level.

but.

After thinking about it, Chen Ping still thought of another person.

Jay Chou.

Although Jie Lun debuted not long ago, he has become very popular recently.

Chen Ping's request for help from him was not intentional, and he could do the same as Li Zongsheng.

I help you write lyrics, and you help me gain popularity.

This kind of help is mutually beneficial to everyone, and there is nothing else.

Immediately, Chen Ping called Jay Chou.

"Don't ask the teacher."

"Don't call me that, Teacher, I'm about the same age as you, just call me by my name."

"How can this be done? You are the teacher I admire most."

"All right……"

Jay Chou insisted on calling him this, and Chen Ping did not refuse. Then he asked: "Jie Lun, do you have any new songs recently?"

"Hey, don't ask the teacher. Whenever you talk about the new songs, I get a headache."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know why, but my brain has been short-circuited recently and I haven't even written a new song."

"That won't work. The market is so competitive, so you have to release more songs. Moreover, you are also on the rise of your career, and nunchucks have become popular in the past. You should strike while the iron is hot."

"Don't ask teacher, you are right. However, my mind is really a mess right now and I don't feel anything."

"Then you go to the company and see if there are any suitable songs."

"no."

Jay Chou shook his head: "I took a look a few days ago. Although there are several songwriters in the company who can write songs, their styles are different from mine, and I can't sing their songs. Even if I can sing, it probably won't do much for me. Big help.”

"This too."

Chen Ping nodded.

Jay Chou's style is very obvious.

Generally speaking, he is not very good at singing other people's songs.

That's not to say he can't sing.

Even if you can sing, it won't have much influence.

Jay Chou must stick to his own style so that he can expand his influence step by step.

Just like Zhou Xingchi.

Zhou Xingchi can only be interesting if he sticks to his own style.

If you want Zhou Xingchi to give up the nonsense and act like Andy Lau or Chow Yun-fat, you will probably have to fight to death.

but.

How could this stump Chen Ping?

Chen Ping immediately said: "Well, Jie Lun, I happened to write a song, and I feel that some of it fits your style."

"Don't ask teacher, do you know how to compose music... Yes, yes, yes, sorry, sorry, you are a master of composing. Your song "Young China" is really a classic."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a guest appearance... So, just wait a moment."

immediately.

Chen Ping took out paper and pen again.

Ten minutes later, Chen Ping wrote a song again.

"In the Name of the Father".

Yes.

Since Jay Chou doesn't feel anything.

Then Chen Ping gave him all the music and lyrics.

"Jie Lun, take a look."

Chen Ping sent the song to Jay Chou.

[The cool morning dew wets the black dress

The stone road is foggy, my father is complaining

The helpless realization can only become more cruel

Everything is for the road to the church

The mist that cannot be blown away hides the intention...]

Just a look.

Jay Chou said excitedly: "Don't ask the teacher, this is exactly the same as my style."

"Well, I was also influenced by you, so I created this song. How does it feel?"

"It's so touching."

Looking at the song Chen Ping sent him, Jay Chou hummed softly.

This song was tailor-made for him.

"Well, the style of this song is very similar to yours. However, I only composed the music and lyrics for you. You have to think carefully about the arrangement."

Arranging is not composing.

Composing is creating rhythm for lyrics.

Arrangement can be understood more as accompaniment.

In addition to the lyrics and music of the song "In the Name of the Father," his arrangement is also full of Jay Chou's strong style.

In his previous life, Chen Ping remembered that the arrangement of this song was highly recommended by countless creators.

As for how awesome he is, Chen Ping doesn't know.

Chen Ping can't arrange music.

The main reason is that the arrangement is too difficult and not easy to copy.

"Okay."

Jay Chou nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Mowen. You've taken care of me in composing and writing lyrics. If I can't figure out the arrangement, I won't be in the music scene anymore."

"It would be great."

Since Jay Chou arranged the music himself, it would be much easier for Chen Ping.

It's impossible for him to write lyrics, compose music and arrange music all by himself.

If this is the case, then why does Jay Chou come?

but.

Chen Ping's purpose in finding Jay Chou was not to write songs for him.

Immediately, Chen Ping said that he hoped that Jie Lun could help him cheer up and increase his popularity in the past two days.

No, Jay Chou said that Lin Junjie had greeted him in advance.

Chen Ping burst into tears.

These two are really good friends.

Unexpectedly, Lin Junjie was ahead of schedule.

But it’s normal to think about it.

Chen Ping is looking for help, and other celebrities are not stupid either.

Although most of them are first-line.

But just because they are on the front line, no one is sure who will win.

In this way, in order to get endorsements from the public, every celebrity looks for anyone they can.

No.

Jay Chou, a rising star in the music industry, was pulled over by Lin Junjie.

Feeling a headache, Chen Ping said, "Okay, I won't sell this song to you."

"Pfft..."

Jay Chou burst into tears: "Don't ask the teacher, don't do this."

"I don't want to either."

Chen Ping spread his hands: "Look, I wrote lyrics and composed music for you... and I still followed your style. You actually helped others, and I was very hurt."

"this……"

If you think about it, it's true.

but.

After all, Chen Ping's songs are too tempting.

After thinking about it, Jay Chou said: "Don't ask the teacher, I will try my best to help you gain popularity these days."

"Didn't you promise Lin Junjie?"

"It's okay. This guy just called me and didn't even treat me to a meal."

"Don't force it too hard."

"Don't force it, don't force it."

"real?"

"real."

"Then it's settled. You can't go back on it. I'm recording."

shoot.

Fearing that Jay Chou would regret it, Chen Ping quickly hung up the phone.

"I go……"

Looking at the phone blankly, Jay Chou was stunned for a moment.

…

"Brothers, there is a big event starting tomorrow."

"What big event?"

“Volkswagen Endorsement Campaign.”

“What a big event this is.”

"You don't know that this time Volkswagen has selected ten celebrities. Whoever is the most popular will be endorsed by Volkswagen."

"Who is there?"

"Hu Ge, Chen Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Lu Yi, Hu Jun, Yang Yang, Han Han, Lin Junjie, Huo Jianhua...and Chen Ping."

"Damn it, they are all top celebrities."

The Volkswagen endorsement has not yet begun, and major media have already begun to warm up for this event.

The first is the announcement of the 10 candidates.

Many people became immediately interested when they saw it.

These ten candidates must be good-looking and popular.

The only thing is that Chen Ping was worse at the end.

"Tsk tsk, the public really worked hard for the endorsement this time."

"It is said that Volkswagen's endorsement contract starts at 50 million yuan."

"What the hell, 50 million a year?"

"No, 50 million for three years."

"Fifty million for three years is terrifying enough."

Many people secretly smacked their lips.

Although 50 million is for three years, there is actually no need to do anything in three years.

Just shoot a few commercials and attend Volkswagen's press conference for a few days.

With such a huge sum of money, not to mention first-tier celebrities, even top-tier celebrities would be jealous.

and.

This kind of endorsement not only brings money, but also enhances the star's status.

Endorsing products like Volkswagen is inherently more powerful than celebrities endorsing other products.

In the future, there will be significant improvements in terms of price negotiation, film financing, etc.

so.

Whether it's for money, fame, or to improve their status, any star will be tempted.

Unless, you already regard money and fame as dirt.

If that's the case, then I probably won't be involved in the entertainment industry.

"Top one, I hope Hu Ge can win this endorsement."

"I like Xiao Ming better."

"Xiao Ming, forget it, it feels a little greasy."

"I support Yang Yang, Yang Yang is so handsome..."

"When it comes to handsomeness, Chen Ping beats Yang Yang... However, Chen Ping's status is the lowest among these ten stars."

"It cannot be said that the public chose Chen Ping because of his potential. Who can say which of these top ten celebrities will definitely win this endorsement?"

This is naturally impossible.

These top ten stars all have certain status.

And it seems that the popularity is not very different.

Every major star has his or her own supporters.

finally.

Who can get the endorsement of Volkswagen this time depends on the PK between the top ten celebrities this week.
