Chapter 164 Negotiating the theme song for the Three Kingdoms New Year drama
The recording of the eleventh singer breakout competition of "Singing" has ended.
Five singers including Li Caiwei, Xie Yuwen, and Xu Xinzhen successfully broke through and advanced to the finals "Battle of the Singers".
Together with Fang Xing, Liu Hongsheng and Zhong Yuanxun who advanced early, a total of eight singers entered the "Singing" finals.
The breakout competition of the eleventh episode of "Singing" was only recorded and not broadcast.
However, the singers who have advanced to the finals have received notification from the program team and started preparing for the finals.
Therefore, all singers who advance to the finals have received the competition theme and competition rules of the finals.
After receiving the rules of the finals, Songshi Records immediately convened all departments to hold a meeting to discuss the strategy for the finals.
This morning.
Fang Xing arrived at the company on time for the meeting, and Li Caiwei also arrived early.
This time, she successfully broke through and entered the finals, and she also attaches great importance to the finals.
After everyone arrived, Qiao Yinghong first explained the rules of the finals:
"According to the rules given to us by the program team, there will be a total of two rounds of competition in this finals.
"The first round of the competition is a two-by-two showdown, and the guests will help sing. There are no restrictions on the guests that can be invited, as long as they comply with the regulations of radio and television, they can be invited.
“The theme of the first round of the competition is ‘The Dust of History.’ It is not easy to sing about the weight of history with this theme.
“After the first round of pair-wise competition, the winner will enter the final championship battle, and the loser will be eliminated.
“So, in the second round of the championship battle, there will be four singers competing. It is no longer a two-two duel, but they will take turns singing. In the end, the audience will vote to determine the champion, second and third place.
"The rules for the second round of the championship battle are relatively loose. There is no competition theme and you can sing anything.
"Therefore, in the second round of the championship battle, it can be expected that every singer will bring out their most emotional songs."
Liang Yusong looked at Fang Xing and asked, "Do you have any ideas about 'Dust of History'? If not, the company has a few historical drama songs that fit the theme that you can consider."
Fang Xing didn't expect that the theme of the competition would be this. He thought about it and said:
"Actually, I prepared a song that fits this theme, but this song was originally intended to be the theme song for Shen Jilin's Three Kingdoms TV series.
"Why don't we keep this song and use it in the "Singing" competition, then forget about Shen Jilin."
When Liang Yusong heard this, he became interested: "Don't worry yet, we can have a chat with Shen Jilin and see if we can make things right for both parties."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "It's also a way. Let's make an appointment with Shen Jilin as soon as possible. Make the decision as soon as possible so that we can have time to practice singing."
This time things happened by chance.
The theme song originally planned for the Three Kingdoms New Year drama could be used in "Singing".
However, Shen Jilin's Three Kingdoms drama may not agree to this request.
Therefore, this matter still needs to be discussed.
If Shen Jilin disagrees with the theme song of the Three Kingdoms, he will sing it on "Song".
Then the problem arises.
Should the priority be given to protecting "Singing"?
Or should the priority be given to protecting Shen Jilin's Three Kingdoms New Year drama?
…
Qiao Yinghong acted quickly and sent the song demo to Shen Jilin and the Three Kingdoms crew that day, and asked them to meet and chat the next day.
That afternoon, Shen Jilin agreed to meet and talk the next day.
Obviously I am more interested in this song.
The next morning.
The meeting place was arranged to be in the East China Sea, because the Three Kingdoms crew was in post-production here in the East China Sea.
Therefore, Shen Jilin flew over from Kyoto.
Shen Jilin is now the director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, so it is not suitable to meet in a hotel, so we directly made an appointment to talk at the Songshi Records headquarters.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Jilin and the Three Kingdoms crew arrived at Songshi Records. Qiao Yinghong personally greeted them at the door, greeting them warmly and inviting them to the large conference room.
After everyone arrived, Qiao Yinghong first introduced: "Hello everyone, let me first introduce the producer of this song, Fang Xing."
Shen Jilin looked at the crew and cheered: "Do you know us? "Song of the Seven Sons" and "Young China" have been spotted by the Spring Festival Gala director team. If they can pass the screening, they will be able to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala."
The Three Kingdoms crew is in the midst of intensive production, so they may not recognize it.
However, after listening to what Shen Jilin said, they all knew that the young man in front of them had something.
Moreover, they had heard the demo of the song and thought it was very suitable as the theme song of a TV series.
The director in the later stage was impatient and got right to the point: "What is the budget for this song?"
Liang Yusong interjected: "There is no rush, there is one thing that needs to be discussed first."
As soon as Shen Jilin heard this, he knew that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
This CCTV's opening drama for next year is the highlight.
Theoretically speaking, if you like a song, you can get it.
The historical drama that opens the new year can be broadcast on CCTV, and many celebrities are trying to get involved.
Liang Yusong explained: "It's like this. We are going to sing this song at the "Singing" finals, so we need to discuss with you whether we can take care of both sides?"
As CCTV's new year's drama, the theme song was exposed on "Song" in advance, and CCTV may not agree.
"This..." Shen Jilin was a little embarrassed when he heard this request.
CCTV is a relatively special existence in the entertainment industry.
For example, countless celebrities desperately want to attend the Spring Festival Gala, but in fact, celebrities cannot get paid to attend the Spring Festival Gala.
Yes, celebrities have no money to attend the Spring Festival Gala, and they even have to pay for food and travel expenses out of their own pockets.
But even so, the Spring Festival Gala is still a party that celebrities only dream of attending.
Shen Jilin discussed with the Three Kingdoms crew and said in a serious tone: "This may not be easy to handle. The New Year drama broadcast on CCTV is not suitable for early exposure on other programs.
"I'm really satisfied with the demo you sent me. The lyrics are still from ancient poetry, and the historical atmosphere is overwhelming, and it's full of weight.
"So, I sincerely want to use this song as the theme song of this Three Kingdoms drama, but it may not be appropriate to sing it on "Song" unless it is after the TV drama is broadcast."
The finals of "Singing" will be broadcast live.
The time has been set, and it will definitely be broadcast before the New Year drama of the Three Kingdoms.
Therefore, it is impossible to sing again after the TV series starts.
Liang Yusong discussed again: "Can't we discuss it any more? The theme of the final competition of "Singing" is 'The Dust of History', which is very consistent with the meaning of the song."
Shen Jilin shook his head and replied: "It's not that I don't agree, but I can't decide on this matter. I need the approval of the leaders of CCTV."
Liang Yusong and Fang Xing looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
Qiao Yinghong then discussed: "Can't we discuss it? Singing the theme song first on "Song" can actually be used to promote the TV series."
If it were a drama from another TV station and could be promoted on "Song", I would definitely agree without even thinking about it.
However, CCTV is special and does not need this kind of propaganda method.
Shen Jilin shook his head and said helplessly: "It's troublesome. The key is that I can't be the master."
He is the director of this Three Kingdoms drama, but he cannot fully decide on the broadcast of the drama.
Fang Xing heard the key point in his words.
What he said was not "can't", but "it's more troublesome".
In other words, this matter is indeed difficult, but it is not completely impossible.
Fang Xing thought about it and said, "Let's do this. I have another song here, sung by a female voice, which also fits the story of this Three Kingdoms New Year drama.
"If Director Shen can agree to sing these two songs on "Song", then I will cover the opening and ending songs of this Three Kingdoms drama."
Shen Jilin raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully, "You guys only sent me a demo."
Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, I only sent out one demo. However, I have another demo here. You should also listen to it. If you are interested, we can talk about it later."
After saying that, Fang Xing opened his laptop, connected the speaker in the conference room, and started playing the second song.
This song also fits the theme of "The Dust of History" and can also be used as the theme song of the Three Kingdoms drama.
The demo starts playing.
The prelude sounded, and various musical instruments such as flute, chimes, cello, and violin played a melodious and simple tune.
Then, a female voice began to sing a song. The tone was clear and melodious, very pleasant to the ear, and had a rich sense of historical narrative.
Although it is a demo, the quality of the song is very high, and even if it is released directly, it will not be a big problem.
When Shen Jilin and the post-production team of the Three Kingdoms crew heard this song, their eyes suddenly lit up.
They originally came for the previous song with a baritone voice, but now they heard a song with a female voice.
Both songs are very suitable as theme songs for TV series.
Now, Shen Jilin was in a dilemma.
After the song demo was played, Shen Jilin discussed with the post-production team for a long time before saying:
“Both songs do fit well, but do you have to sing on ‘The Voice’?”
Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, I want to sing on "Song", so I asked Director Shen to help communicate and facilitate this matter.
"Although CCTV's New Year's Eve drama does not need to be promoted by other program groups, it will still be helpful to the popularity of the TV series, right?
"Moreover, if Director Shen agrees to sing these two songs on "The Voice", then these two songs will be used as theme songs for the TV series for free. There is no fee, and the singer does not need to pay."
Two songs will be used as theme songs for CCTV's new year's opening drama for next year for free. This may sound like a loss, but in fact it is not a loss at all.
For this new year's drama produced by CCTV, even if there is a budget for a theme song, it won't be too much.
It will definitely not reach the price of "Painting Heart".
Moreover, the songs are used as theme songs for TV series for free, but the copyright of the songs still belongs to them.
Compared with the subsequent income from the song, the one or two million paid by the TV series is really nothing.
If you can sing on "The Voice", the value will be even higher.
Therefore, Fang Xing had already thought very clearly that it seemed like he could compose the theme song for a TV series for free, but it would only facilitate the matter and would not be a loss.
In fact, Shen Jilin also wants to do more publicity for this Three Kingdoms drama. After all, the more publicity, the higher the TV drama's ratings.
He didn't want to agree before just because it was too troublesome.
But now both songs are suitable as theme songs for the Three Kingdoms New Year drama, and one is the opening song and the other is the ending song, which is just right.
If both songs are used, it can be said that the problem of theme songs for TV series has been completely solved.
Shen Jilin thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I can give it a try and try my best to help you fight for it, but no matter whether it can be successful or not, these two songs must be used as the theme songs of my drama, as I owe you a favor."
Fang Xing heard what he said and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Director Shen's words are enough. Can it be done? These two songs will be used as theme songs for Director Shen's drama."
Shen Jilin nodded with satisfaction: "Both songs are very good. It's not appropriate to get them for free. The crew will pay according to the original budget."
Fang Xing nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll listen to Director Shen."
Both parties were very satisfied with the conversation.
Shen Jilin and the crew of the Three Kingdoms drama got two songs as the theme songs for the new year's drama.
Fang Xing also owed Shen Jilin a favor by sending two songs to CCTV to open the new year.
As for whether these two songs can be sung on "Song", it's not a loss.
If neither of these two songs can be sung on "Singing", Fang Xing can also find other alternative songs, but they are not the best choices.
the following few days.
While Fang Xing was practicing singing, he was preparing two other historical songs, just in case.
Three days later.
Shen Jilin called personally: "Fang Xing, it's me, Shen Jilin."
"Hello, Director Shen, hello, Director Shen." Fang Xing greeted quickly.
"I've done what you said before. You can sing this song on "Song". If you still need any cooperation, you can talk to the production team." Shen Jilin said cheerfully.
"Thank you very much, Director Shen." Fang Xing was naturally happy when he heard the news.
"In this case, I don't owe you any favors." Shen Jilin joked.
"I don't dare, it's because I owe Director Shen a favor." Fang Xing responded humbly.
"That's not the case. Our cooperation is smooth. In fact, thanks to your two songs, the quality is high enough, so things can be done. You have to sing well and not ruin the brand of the New Year's drama." Shen Jilin half He said jokingly and half seriously.
"Of course." Fang Xing agreed.
In fact, Shen Jilin also has to bear certain risks in this matter.
If these two songs fail on "Singing", they will not be helpful to the New Year drama of the Three Kingdoms, but will be a drag.
Therefore, Shen Jilin agreed to sing these two songs on "Singing" first, and he himself has to bear the responsibility.
Fang Xing knew this, so his favorable impression of Shen Jilin improved a lot.
Shen Jilin continued: "Also, which singer are you going to find for these two songs? It is mainly you who choose the singer, but you still need to communicate with the crew later."
"Of course." Fang Xing agreed.
Shen Jilin then reminded: "Also, you can prepare for "Song", but the Spring Festival Gala program must not be left behind. If you can't pass the series, it will be canceled."
"Of course, Director Shen, don't worry."
Fang Xing was not in a hurry. The Spring Festival Gala was still more than two months away, so there was plenty of time.
Besides, Fang Xing basically didn't accept other announcements. No celebrity would dare to do so.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Xing notified the company and started making preparations.
These two songs are in line with "The Dust of History", one is a baritone and the other is a soprano.
The song sung by the soprano was intended to be sung by Li Caiwei, and she also sang the demo.
According to Li Caiwei's personality, after singing the demo, she should be practicing the song every day without any supervision.
However, these two songs are intended to be used in the first round of the "Singing" finals, so they still need to invite singing guests.
