Entertainment 1998

Chapter 503 502, Sky-high Endorsement Fee

Wang Fei cried.

Her eyes were filled with tears and all her carefully applied makeup was ruined.

It’s not that her tear glands are well developed, but because these three stories are so touching. In the first story, the girl Feng waited for a call from her lover for the whole morning, but she never got a call. In grief, she jumped into the river as soon as she went out. But what the girl Feng didn’t know was that if she waited one more minute, the boy Teng would have called to apologize.

The second story is also about a young couple, but they had already registered their marriage. On the way to the wedding, they had a car accident. The groom was fine, but the bride was dying.

However, even when she was dying, the bride did not blame the groom. Instead, she comforted him and said, "It's okay. If I die, I will turn into an angel to protect you."

The third story is also about a newlywed couple. The man’s name is Li Jun and the woman’s name is Yang Li. In 3, right after they got married, Li Jun signed up to work on the border railway construction.

Less than half a year later, someone said that Li Jun had died, but Yang Li did not believe it and said that he must still be somewhere in the border area.

So Yang Li came to the place where her husband had worked and fought, and stayed there for more than ten years.

Later, when a convoy passed by, Yang Li would always wave to the passers-by and ask them to stay safe. Over time, people called her the "Kunlun Goddess."

...

The tears flowed for a long time.

Wang Fei suddenly realized one thing. The reason why every song written by Jiang Feng is a classic is because these songs are all based on story prototypes. If there are story prototypes, there will be touching moments. If there are touching moments, there will be a market. And if there is a market, they will become classics!
Of course, after figuring this out, Wang Fei also knew why Jiang Feng showed her these three stories.

Jiang Feng wanted to try to create, after all, it is better to rely on oneself than on others.

Ah!
Thinking of this, Wang Fei took out a tissue, wiped the tears from her eyes, and took out a recorder, paper and pen from Jiang Feng's bag.

Jiang Feng is a creative person, so naturally he needs to carry this kind of thing with him.

Which song should I start with?
Wang Fei tilted his head and thought about it, then turned his attention to the second story. This story was relatively simple, about the separation of a newlywed couple. The bride died, but the groom never remarried...

There are two types of songwriting: one is to have music first and then lyrics, and the other is to have lyrics first and then music. In the Hong Kong and Taiwan music industry, the first type is generally used, where the music is composed first and then the lyrics are written. Otherwise, Lin Xi would not be called a lyricist.
But in mainland China, it is basically the opposite. Music creators will first write beautiful lyrics, and then compose music based on the lyrics. The most classic example is the song "Jiu Mei" which was very popular a few years ago. It is said that the lyrics of this song were written by a worker on a cigarette box, and then given to professional musicians to compose the music.

Ok…

Although Wang Fei is considered a singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan, her previous way of writing songs was based on mainland customs, where she would write the lyrics first and then compose the music.

And this time, it's the same.

[The wide streets are deserted.

The fallen leaves of the sycamore trees on the street are dancing
Beautiful voice, like angel wings
…]

Once people have something to do, time passes very quickly. Before they knew it, the lights in the Taekwondo gym came on.

Wang Fei rubbed his forehead with his hand and was about to continue writing, but at this moment he saw a tall and beautiful woman coming over. The beauty must have just taken a shower, and there was a fresh scent of shower gel all over her body.

"Hi, Maggie."

Maggie Cheung is the top goddess in the Hong Kong film industry. Wang Fei, who is active in the Hong Kong circle, is naturally very familiar with her. The two had collaborated on "In the Mood for Love" some time ago. Although Wang Fei's role in the movie "In the Mood for Love" was almost negligible, the two have still collaborated.

"Hey, Afei, what are you writing?"

Zhang Manyu, who had just finished packing, sat down next to Wang Fei.

"I'm going to release a new album in October, but it's not going well to collect songs at the moment, so I'm going to try to compose on my own."

There was nothing shameful about saying that she wanted to compose songs, so Wang Fei handed the lyrics she had written to Zhang Manyu.

"The wide street is deserted, the plane trees on the street have fallen leaves dancing in the air... well, it's very poetic to read." After looking at the lyrics and reciting a few lines, Zhang Manyu gave Wang Fei a thumbs up.

"yes!
The first two lines of the lyrics are used to outline the artistic conception. The originally wide street looks deserted. The plane trees on the street have grown thick and tall, but at this time, the leaves are falling.

Why do leaves fall? It will lead to what will happen next on the street. There will be a car accident, and a couple who are about to get married will be separated on the wedding day..."

When she was praised by her colleagues, the usually cool Wang Fei immediately expressed her creative ideas, but at this time, a boy suddenly interrupted her.

"Well, Ah Fei, I think it would be better to write it like this if it is just to outline the artistic conception. Where will the fallen leaves go with the wind, leaving only the beautiful sky!"

"Where will the fallen leaves go with the wind? They will only leave a beautiful sky..." These are the two lines of lyrics Jiang Feng said casually. Wang Fei just repeated them twice, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

“It’s so beautiful!

Ah Feng, I am a layman, but the two lines of lyrics you wrote are so beautiful, well, I want to use them. "

At this time, Wang Fei saw Jiang Feng coming over, like a little girl, she stood up suddenly, leaned on his shoulder, then put her red lips close to his ear and said:

"Anything else? Tell me, have you composed the song for the second story?"

"Not yet. I just listened to the lyrics you wrote and I was inspired." Jiang Feng smiled and walked out of the Taekwondo gym with his girlfriend on his back, while Zhang Manyu shook her head and quickly followed.

……

As May Day approaches, the days are getting longer.

Some time ago, it was completely dark at 5:6 in the afternoon, but now, it is already o'clock and the sunset is still coloring the sky.

When the weather is good, the mood is good.

At this moment, Jiang Feng, walking in the alleys of Nanluoguxiang, looked like a movie star from Hong Kong Island. At that time, when he attended the film festival, he was also holding the hands of a beauty on his left and another beauty on his right.

And now, I have become the blessed man with women around me.

Jiang Feng was in a good mood and was planning to have a bite at Jingxiu Restaurant near the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama, and then take Wang Fei and Zhang Manyu to Baihua Recording Studio to record a song. But before he could put forward his proposal, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Jiang Feng took it out and saw that it was a text message from Han Shanye.

[Jiang Feng, what are you doing now? ]

[Hello, Mr. Han. I just came out of the Shichahai Sports School and was about to have some dinner before going to the Baihua Recording Studio to record a song.]

Han Shanye's text messages came quickly, and Jiang Feng replied quickly too, because he knew that Han Shanye was very busy and would not contact him if there was nothing important.

【Um…】

[Jiang Feng, let me put it this way, Saw 2 has been showing in the North American and European film markets for 12 days, and the total box office has just exceeded 6000 million US dollars.

how to say?

This result seems a bit bad, because according to this trend, the highest box office of this movie is estimated to be 1.6 million US dollars. 】

〔Ha ha…〕

[Mr. Han, can I say that you are floating?
We made a movie with 1000 million RMB, and it was an all-Chinese cast. Isn't it enough to get 1.6 million US dollars in the global film market?

[Haha, yes, I am too greedy.

I thought that Paranormal Activity, which cost only 6 US dollars to produce, had a box office of 2 million US dollars in the global film market, and our Paranormal Activity 2 should have a box office of more than 3 million US dollars, but in fact, I thought too much. 】

Han Shanye was in a good mood and didn't care at all about Jiang Feng's teasing about him being arrogant.

However, at this time, another text message he sent made Jiang Feng frown.

[Jiang Feng, there is one more thing. Mr. Zhong from Yangshengtang is here with me now. He wants to meet you. Well, he wants to invite you to be the image spokesperson for Nongfu Spring. The endorsement fee is 100 million US dollars per year.]
