Chapter 33 Shock(1/3)
Qinzhou.
Cannes.
As the director of the TV series "The World", Li Liang is discussing post-production work with the show's producer.
"The soundtrack is basically completed."
Zhang Peiheng, who serves as the producer of this drama, said: "Now we just need a promotional song. Is there any news from Shinhwa?"
"Soon."
Li Liang smiled and said: "The work efficiency of Shinhwa is quite good."
After a pause, Li Liang continued: "But I still think spending seven million to buy a promotional song is too wasteful. We should save more money and put it into promoting the TV series. Spending one million to buy a song is enough."
Use it actually."
"Xiao Li, you are still young."
Zhang Peiheng patted the director on the shoulder: "You have underestimated the influence of music. Sometimes a good song is more effective than how much money you spend on publicity."
"But I still think it doesn't matter if the theme song of the TV series is almost the same. The script is the key point."
Li Liang muttered in a low voice, but did not feel unhappy because the other party called him "Xiao Li", even though the two were similar in age.
Just because...
This Zhang Peiheng is not only the producer of "The World", but also one of the top ten film directors in Qinzhou!
As for why Zhang Peiheng, a top director, would serve as the producer of the TV series "The World"?
Too normal.
These days, more and more TV dramas like to hire a big-name film director to serve as a producer, even if it is just by name.
There are two main reasons.
One is to use the business card effect of big-name film directors to attract audiences.
For example, the producer of a certain domestic TV series that will be broadcast soon is the great director "Zhang Yimou". Will the audience be interested in watching it?
The second is to borrow the voice of big-name film directors!
These big-name film directors are often deeply trusted by their employers, and their existence can directly protect TV drama directors and balance the relationship between all parties.
They even directly provide guidance and assistance to TV drama directors!
In the crew of "The World", Zhang Peiheng plays such a role.
Therefore, Zhang Peiheng is fully qualified to pat director Li Liang on the shoulder and say, "Xiao Li, you are still young."
At this time.
Li Liang's phone rang.
After answering the phone, Li Liang smiled and said: "Shinhwa has sent the songs to my email. There are five songs in total. Seniors and I will listen to it together. If you are not satisfied, let them change it. The singer can also be changed."
Zhang Peiheng is Li Liang’s senior.
If it weren't for this relationship and some special reasons, Zhang Peiheng would not be the producer of the drama "The World".
"Then let's listen and see."
Zhang Peiheng smiled and said: "The songs produced by Shinhwa are worth looking forward to."
"Okay, senior, wait a moment."
Li Liang opened his computer mailbox, entered his password, downloaded all five songs, and immediately clicked on the first song to play.
This is a typical ancient song.
After listening to the song, Li Liang smiled and said, "It seems okay."
Zhang Peiheng was not particularly satisfied. He shook his head slightly and said: "This song is indeed useful, but don't forget that we spent 7 million, so we should have higher requirements. Let's listen to the next one."
"good."
Li Liang played the second song.
I finished listening to the second song very quickly.
Li Liang thought for a moment and said, "This song seems to be better than the last one."
Zhang Peiheng also nodded in approval this time: "It does feel better than the last one, but don't you think the style of this song seems more suitable for the ending song? We have already decided on the ending song, and what we want now is the theme song.
The theme song that can help promote the TV series is best if it is separated from the TV series itself and can make people feel the charm of the song."
All in all, this song is not good enough.
As Party A who spent 7 million in customization fees, Zhang Peiheng was qualified to be picky. After hearing this, Li Liang felt that it made sense, nodded and said:
"Next song."
Li Liang played the third song, which was called "Emotion".
Only halfway through listening, Li Liang's eyes lit up. Even if the outside world said that the average quality of songs produced by Shinhwa was not as good as Nathan's, let alone Tianguang, they were still in the top three levels after all!
The gap between the three majors is not absolute.
Myths can sometimes turn the world upside down.
For example, this song called "Emotion" is very good in terms of melody and lyrics, even better than the previous two songs. The singer is very ear-catching as soon as he starts singing!
"good!"
Li Liang clapped his hands and praised.
Not to mention Li Liang, even the demanding Zhang Peiheng nodded slightly at this moment and said with some satisfaction: "The quality of this song is about the same, at least it is worthy of our customization fee."
Finished.
Zhang Peiheng smiled softly.
The three biggest signs are credibility guarantee.
The ace composer of Shinhwa Entertainment's music department can still be trusted in his creative ability. If he shows his strength, he may not be worse than the other two companies. This song "Emotion" is a good proof.
"There are two more songs."
Perhaps it was because each song was better than the other, Li Liang's expectations were raised, and he couldn't wait to start playing the fourth song. There were five songs to choose from, so naturally he had to listen to them all before making a judgment.
"This one is not as good as the third one."
After listening to the fourth song, Li Liang was a little disappointed.
Zhang Peiheng seemed to have seen through everything, and said with an unsurprising expression: "This is where the mythical chicken thief comes from. The first three songs can be said to be better than the other, and then they deliberately put the best third song on
In the middle, we can make a sharp comparison with the two songs before and after it. As a result, as soon as the fourth song came out, the gap with the third song was immediately obvious."
"Shinhwa is so scheming."
After listening to Zhang Peiheng's analysis, Li Liang clicked his tongue and said: "This order is not random. Psychological warfare has been arranged for us. The old ones are the hot ones. I wouldn't have imagined so many things if I didn't tell the seniors."
"One more song."
Zhang Peiheng pressed his back against the chair, raised his chin towards the screen, and said with great confidence:
"This is just a routine used by Party B. After all, you are still young, and it is normal for you to have little experience. As expected, the two songs before and after "Emotion" were sent as a foil. If you don't believe me, listen to the second one.
The five songs must also serve as green leaves to accompany the third song."
"That makes sense."
Li Liang looked at the title of the fifth song, nodded seriously, then moved the mouse and clicked play.
The song is called "Moonlight".
Different from the first four songs, the first few seconds of the fifth song were extremely quiet, with no sound at all, and the intro started only a few seconds later.
The guzheng is like water.
Surrounded gently.
In the melodious artistic conception, the sound of the flute flows slowly.
The flowing melody floats in the ears, combined with the sound of flutes and drums gradually rising.
"Moonlight color
Women's fragrance
Tears break the sword
How long is love
how painful it is
No words to think about
forget you……"
The singer's voice sounded slowly, with a touching ancient artistic conception. The chivalrous heart and full of sorrow almost came to the face in this ancient lyrics.
Li Liang's expression changed slightly.
To be continued...
