Entertainment 1998

Chapter 27 Chapter 27, buddy needs to make money
Yan Danchen ran away.

While running, she was humming a song and jumping around. Just by looking at her back, you could tell that she must be in a very happy mood at the moment.

Of course, Jiang Feng was in a good mood, because his girlfriend knew his little thoughts and was willing to meet his requirements, but it was just that the time was wrong today, and she happened to be unwell.

But the uncomfortable days will always pass quickly, 3 days, 5 days, or at most a week.

Ha ha…

Jiang Feng felt happy when he thought that he would be able to use Lao Ai's wheel-turning technique in a week.

The art of the wheel, a martial arts secret clearly recorded in the "Records of the Grand Historian", has been lost for thousands of years, but now it is finally going to see the light of day again.

But although he was happy, Jiang Feng still had his worries.

According to the contract signed with the crew of "Never Forget", Jiang Feng's salary for each episode was 600 yuan, plus a bonus of 400, which added up to 1000 yuan.

The TV series "Never Forget You" was originally budgeted to have 30 episodes, but when it was actually filmed, director Zhao Baogang estimated that there were only 27 episodes at most.

The pay for 27 episodes of the TV series is 27000 yuan, plus the 1 yuan from selling the song "Come Back Soon", Jiang Feng's total income for the past six months is 37000 yuan.

The income seems good, but the expenses are even higher!

The contract was signed by the Film Academy. They wanted to raise 27000% of the 10 yuan salary. The annual tuition fee of the Film Academy is 1 yuan. Jiang Feng has already paid the tuition for his sophomore year, but it is June now and his junior year is about to start. He mailed 6 yuan to his parents during the Chinese New Year and bought a mobile phone for his girlfriend for 2500 yuan...

After careful calculation, Jiang Feng still had 12400 yuan left.

12400. Not to mention realizing Jiang Feng’s great wish of hoarding houses in Beijing, even if he were to take Yan Danchen to the hotel a few more times, the funds would be very tight!
If you don’t have money, you have to make money.

When it comes to making money, we have to talk about Jiang Feng’s new idea, singing, yes, releasing a music album.

When Jiang Feng was writing entertainment novels on Qidian.com, he did some research on several young Chinese actors, such as Lu Yi, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chuo, Li Yapeng, etc. After becoming famous, they all released music albums or singles.

The reason for this is that, under the arrangement of the agency, they want to make a fortune while the popularity is still there.

Let’s not talk about other people, let’s take Lu Yi as an example. The TV series “Never Close Your Eyes” became a big hit after it was broadcast in 1999, and Lu Yi took advantage of the opportunity to become a new generation of idol in mainland China. Even in 2005, when his popularity had passed for four or five years, Lu Yi’s music album “Extraordinary” still sold 54 copies.

What does 54 music albums mean?
The idea is that Lu Yi himself can earn a huge income of 370 million to 430 million RMB just from this music album.

Now, the person who stars in the TV series "Never Close Your Eyes" has changed to Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng is confident that he can do better than Lu Yi, especially in the choice of songs and grasp of timing.

Baihua Recording Studio

The top recording studio in Beijing is located next to the Huguo Temple, very close to Shichahai Lake. It has a superior geographical location and is relatively quiet.

The reason why this place is famous is that the facilities in the recording studio are top-notch. Many musicians in the domestic rock music circle record songs here, such as "Shame", which is still regarded as a masterpiece 30 years later.

Another reason is a song. Yes, it is "One Night in Beijing" written and composed by Taiwan musician Chen Sheng.

The Baihua Shenchu ​​mentioned in the lyrics of this song is exactly Baihua Shenchu ​​Hutong where the Baihua Recording Studio is located.

On the morning of June 1998, 6, before entering the recording studio, Jiang Feng took a stroll around the Baihuashen Hutong where it was located and found that this was indeed a good place. No wonder both Boss Ma and Boss Xu were so fond of this place in the future.

Now, even though he didn't have much money in his pocket, Jiang Feng silently listed this place as one of the must-see places to buy a courtyard house in the future.

There was no front desk receptionist at the recording studio. There was only a young man with long flowing hair, holding a guitar in his arms, sitting in the rest area of ​​the studio and practicing the guitar silently. He was just practicing fingering techniques in vain, without making any sound.

Perhaps he heard the footsteps, the long-haired guy looked up at Jiang Feng, then lowered his head again.

"What are you here for?"

"I want to record a few songs." To be honest, Jiang Feng, who was only good at karaoke singing in his previous life, felt a little uneasy when he said these words.

But there's nothing I can do, I'm short of money.

“Writing lyrics costs 2000 to 5000, composing music costs 3000 to 10000, and arranging and accompaniment costs 20000 to 50000. Well, that means the minimum cost of recording a song is more than 25000.

Do you have so much money?"

I have to say that the long-haired handsome guy's eyes were still very sharp. He just glanced at Jiang Feng's body twice and then lowered his head again.

"Can I pay on credit?"

"what…"

Perhaps the handsome guy with long hair had never heard anyone say this before, so at this moment, he opened his mouth in surprise.

“What I want to say is, I don’t want you to write lyrics or compose music, I just want you to help me arrange the music, compose the music, and record a master tape for a music album.

I know all of this costs money, but I can write you an IOU for one year. I promise that I can return the money to your recording studio with interest within one year.

Of course, I also know that this request is a bit excessive. Well, how about this, I will write a few songs for you, and you will help me record the music master tapes for this album?
After all, you just said that if you let your people release songs, the highest price for lyrics is 5000, and the highest price for music is 1. The songs I write may be of better quality, so let's charge 3 per song."

Jiang Feng, who was short of money, said this after careful calculation. He first said that he would buy it on credit, so as to lower the expectations of the handsome guy in front of him and make him think that he was joking. Then he said that he would pay back the principal and interest, so as to raise his expectations a little bit. He really wanted to record a song. Finally, he said that a song he created could be worth 3 RMB, which aroused his curiosity...

This handsome guy with long hair will definitely say, "This song costs 3 RMB, sing it to me and I want to see if it's worth the price."

And when I sing this song, those musicians in the rock circle who regard money as dirt will simply pat their chests and say, "I'll record the song for you, and we'll talk about the money later."

Well..., this is basically the routine in all the entertainment novels Jiang Feng has read before.

Unexpectedly, this long-haired handsome guy was so straightforward. He pointed at the door of the recording studio and said, "Please get out of here and help close the door from the outside!"

Uh…

This is a bit embarrassing.

This grandson actually doesn't play by the rules.

Shaking his head, Jiang Feng prepared to go out and see if he could get something for nothing at the next recording studio.

But just as he walked out of the door, Jiang Feng heard someone behind him shouting, "Handsome guy, this handsome guy, please wait a moment."

It's a female voice with a Taiwanese accent, but it's not as soft and pleasant as Sister Zhiling's voice in her previous life.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Feng turned around and immediately saw a sturdy woman standing at the door of the studio waving at him.
