Chapter 236 Chapter 235, Establishing B-style

[Hey, what are you doing? ]

Jiang Feng, who hadn't stayed in the school dormitory for a long time, had just returned from Xinfusheng Restaurant on Xingtan Road. He had just laid down on the bed and was about to plan his work for tomorrow when he received a text message from Wang Fei.

[Just got back to the dormitory and was about to go to bed.]

【Do you miss me? 】

[That’s quite a thought!]

[Tsk, you just know how to coax me. ]

〔Then just pretend I didn’t say anything.〕

[Go go go, the reason I texted you was to leave a written record as evidence. You just said "you missed me".]

Although she is nearly 30 years old, Wang Fei still has a girlish personality. When Jiang Feng jokes with her through text messages, she immediately becomes as naughty as a teenage girl.

Well..., and likes to play tricks.

[Jiang Feng, Yehenala Ying called me just now, mainly to complain about you. She said that she had finally gotten the qualification to sing the theme song in the movie about vitiligo, and for this, she and Sun Nan each paid 5 yuan.

In the end, you ruined it. 】

[Sister Fei, this is not my fault. It’s mainly because she can’t sing the song “The Fairy Can’t Get Used to the Monk’s Vegetarian Diet.”]

[The goblin can't get used to the monk's vegetarian food..., you know what, the name of this song is pretty nice. Um, just now, Lao Na sent me a copy of the lyrics of this song. I have to say, you are very talented! ]

[That is, you don’t even look at who I am.]

[Go, be conceited! ]

[Oh, by the way, let me tell you that Zhang Guorong will probably go back to Beijing with me on November 11th, but he didn’t say why he’s going to Beijing?

But I guess he must have been interested in your movie Saw. You know, in recent days, what I, Leslie Cheung, and Tony Leung have been talking about the most is whether Saw puts a person on a chainsaw and then turns on the switch to cut a person in half…】

"Ha ha…"

Jiang Feng smiled happily when he saw the last text message Wang Fei sent from Okinawa.

I have to say that Tony Leung, Wang Fei and Cheung Kwok-wing are really talented. When they see the four words "Saw", they can come up with a pretty good story based on the literal meaning alone.

After laughing for a while and shaking his head, Jiang Feng was about to turn off his phone and go to sleep when suddenly, another text message came on his phone.

[Jiang Feng, Wang Zonglei called me just now and said that he and Feng Xiaogang have discussed and decided to use the song you sang tonight, "The Demon Can't Get Use to the Monk's Food", as the theme song. However, they have a condition, which is that this song must be sung by you.

Just as Wang Zonglei told me on the phone, when they heard the song you wrote for the first time, they thought you were crazy; when they heard it for the second time, they felt that they and you were both crazy; when they heard it for the third time, they found out that they were the crazy ones; well, when they heard it for the fourth time, they found out that your song was full of satires on the spirit, emotions, and human nature.

〔Haha, it's not that good, I just wrote it casually.〕

[Don't be so modest.]

Now, let's talk about the charges for theme songs. According to industry practices, the current cost of a sung theme song is between 3000 million and 50 yuan, which includes the singer's singing fee + lyrics fee + composition fee + post-production fee + commissions from all parties, etc.

So, Jiang Feng, let me inform you that according to the idea of ​​Li Xing and I, we must first establish your B-level status in the circle.

We may not sing the theme songs for TV dramas or movies, but as long as we compose and sing them, we must raise the price. For example, this time, we directly set the price at 50 RMB?

As for the fact that we are from the same company, we can give him a discount; or because the movie is directed by a famous director, we can give him a friendly price... Well, these will be discussed later when I ask Li Xing to help you negotiate? 】

[Okay..., you decide.] Overall, Jiang Feng was satisfied with the "development plan" that Wang Jinghua designed for him.

This is just like Tesla in its previous life. At the beginning, Musk’s route was like this. Although my car is very ordinary, first of all, I position myself as a luxury car, and the price soared to more than 100 million RMB.

As for the later development of low-end products and selling them at a price reduction, there is no problem with that.

Because from the very beginning, I had my B character set there!

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Jiang Feng sent her the following message before ending his text message conversation with Wang Jinghua.

[Sister Hua, I haven’t seen the movie “Never Ending”, so I don’t know how it was filmed.

If, and I mean if, Feng Xiaogang is finally willing to pay a high price to use my song as the theme song of the movie, then I can help him create a small topic.

The theme song was recorded in two versions, with the same melody but different lyrics. You have already heard the theme song of version A, which is "The Goblin Can't Get Use to the Monk's Vegetarian Food"; and the theme song of version B is "The Mountain Ghost Can't Drink the Taoist's Wine", and the lyrics are as follows.

I have heard this sentence countless times.

Nothing is fine except no money

Love cannot withstand temptation and test
Lose to distance Lose to time
Most people have deep feelings but their fate is shallow
...]

…………

I don’t know if it’s because he slept alone in dormitory 413 last night, but Jiang Feng slept extremely soundly. He usually woke up around 6 o’clock, but today he slept until 6:45.

Even though I got up late, it doesn’t matter.

Because I am a senior this year and this is the Beijing Film Academy, so, as long as you can submit your graduation thesis and perform successfully in the graduation drama when you graduate, basically no one will care even if you take leave and don't attend classes.

However, even so, Jiang Feng, who considered himself a good student, still washed up, put on his sportswear, and went to the playground in front of the dormitory building.

Jiang Feng wants to exercise and have morning class at the same time.

The so-called morning class is to practice basic skills, recite classic lines aloud, or find a very long and difficult tongue twister to recite until the voice is loud and every word is clear.

When other students have morning lessons, they usually stand and recite classic lines or read tongue twisters aloud, but when it comes to Jiang Feng, it is a little special.

His current training method is usually to do morning exercises while running in the morning.

"Wangcai, Wangcai, Wangcai, you can't die, Wangcai, you have been with me for so long, you have been loyal to me, but now I haven't even let you have a full meal, I am sorry for you, Wangcai!"

Today, Jiang Feng did the same.

However, just as Jiang Feng was running and reciting the classic lines from Stephen Chow's classic movie "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One", he suddenly felt someone following him. Turning around, he saw Li Xing, wearing a bright red sportswear, jogging beside him.

"Uh…"

“Brother Feng, Director Feng Xiaogang and President Wang Zonglei agreed.

On behalf of the crew of Never Ending, they agreed to pay us RMB 50 to make the two songs "The Fairy Can't Eat the Monk's Vegetarian Food" and "The Mountain Ghost Can't Drink the Taoist's Wine" the theme songs of the movie, recorded in different copies and released nationwide.

"Oh…"

Jiang Feng simply responded, indicating that he understood.

The reason why he acted so calmly was because Jiang Feng felt that Wang Zonglei would definitely agree to spend 50 RMB to buy the song.
