Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 303 His money power is unbeatable (Seeking monthly votes)
"We're still looking for songs for 'Those Years.' If we find a suitable male-female duet, we can use it for the New Year's Eve gala. If we don't find a suitable one, I'll find someone else to compose it..."

Qi Hao is not worried at all about not having suitable songs.

He has a lot of skills; he can sing, act, and direct, but none of them are as useful as his wealth.

"Singing love songs? That's absolutely wonderful."

Hu Shan wasn't just being polite; her affection was genuine.

She never dreamed that An Feng would become her sister-in-law.

My cousin has great taste; he chose her favorite from among so many rumored girlfriends.

She works at a television station and is quite close to the entertainment industry, so she knows a lot about the gossip and scandals of various female celebrities.

Many of the women who have been rumored to have affairs with my cousin have some solid evidence of their relationships. Although I can understand the difficulties women face in the entertainment industry, it still feels a bit uncomfortable to see such women become my cousin's wife.

An Feng has a lot of dirt on him, but very little solid evidence.

Those who have met An Feng in person, in particular, speak highly of her.

And then there's Ms. Liu.

Anfeng's business has suffered many setbacks, which everyone thinks is due to the incompetence of Anfeng's team, which is essentially a family workshop.

If it were a more professional brokerage firm, Anfeng might have developed even better.

Aunt Hua, Orange Sky Entertainment... which one wouldn't tolerate a small star like you? A high starting point doesn't mean anything; what matters is going far in the entertainment industry.

Whether joining these big companies will make her a top star is uncertain, but she will at least be no worse off than the two Xuexues.

Even some long-time employees at the TV station think this way. They've seen too much of the dark side of the entertainment industry and don't see any problem in paying a price. What matters most is what they have in their hands.

Once you truly reach the top, no one will mention any of your past blemishes.

You'll have your own fans debating the scriptures for you.

However, Ms. Liu was determined and stood up to even Aunt Hua.

Therefore, Hu Shan actually had a good impression of Ms. Liu, who was considered a stupid woman by many in the industry.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Aunt Qi and Hu Shan didn't leave immediately; they took several days off.

They took Anfeng shopping and bought him clothes.

An Feng can definitely afford clothes.

However, this is a ritual that has been passed down from ancient times. After meeting the bride, one must buy her clothes to show acceptance of her as the new daughter-in-law.

It can be considered a kind of greeting gift.

They were also invited by Ms. Liu to her home, which was a way for them to get acquainted with the place.

Qi Hao then found Jin Dazhou.

The main issue is that "You Are the Apple of My Eye" is almost finished, and only the soundtrack is still pending.

These musicians always bring up inspiration.

They sometimes even threaten you:
If you don't care about quality, I can get it done for you in one night.

Listen, is this human talk?
Qi Hao had finally reached his limit; he had planned to release the film in July.

If it's delayed any longer, it will clash with the release date of "The Man from Nowhere".

It's already May, and you still haven't finished it. How am I supposed to get it approved if you don't complete it? Although it's not impossible to submit them separately for review, without a finished soundtrack, there's no way to participate in the film's scheduling.

"Yes, there is a chorus. I asked Xiao Ke to help me with it. It's no worse than 'I Want to Sing This Song to You'."

Upon hearing this, Jin Dazhou immediately gave an affirmative answer.

He didn't want to disappoint Qi Hao.

This boss is very generous with money and doesn't give orders based on ignorance.

Jin Dazhou felt embarrassed to cheat him.

Otherwise, he could have easily produced some trashy music or songs and sold them to Qi Hao at a high price.

Fortunately, he could still distinguish between a full meal and a full stomach. Now that he had latched onto Qi Hao's coattails, he naturally wouldn't ruin his reputation with Qi Hao.

A whole bunch of so-called top producers are eyeing the market.

So he found the most powerful people in the industry to help him, and even personally brought a 40-meter-long sword to help him bargain.

"real or fake?"

Qi Hao certainly knew Xiao Ke and his song "I Want to Sing This Song to You". Xiao Ke was the creator of "Beijing Welcomes You" and was considered a big shot in the industry.

"I Want to Sing This Song to You" is also quite unique and is considered a masterpiece by a niche music fandom.

"Of course it's true. I talked to him about the copyright of 'I Want to Sing This Song to You,' and he happened to be writing this song 'Because of Love.' I got it without hesitation. It's a pity that the ending of your movie wasn't good enough, otherwise I would have used the song 'Today You're Going to Marry Me.'"

"Is this song suitable for me and Anfeng to sing?"

Qi Hao is more concerned about this issue; if possible, he would like to sing at the Tianjin TV New Year's Eve Gala.

"Whether it's suitable or not, you can sing if you want to."

If it were anyone else, Jin Dazhou might have said something sarcastic. Don't you have any self-awareness?
However, these are our providers.

Boss, you can sing anything you want.

"To sing at the TV station's New Year's Eve gala..." Qi Hao added.

"Oh, that's even less of a problem. These days, where can you find a gala where people sing live? Even the princess can't sing live anymore."

Jin Dazhou became even more confident.

When the princess held her concert this year, the Shanghai show kicked off with a "triple whammy of off-key singing" with "Lotus in the Snow"—off-key singing, rushing the beat, and forgetting the lyrics, making it a veritable large-scale musical disorientation.

The subsequent Changsha show was even more outrageous. During "Human World," she completely misled the audience, with fans catching her off guard: "Sister, you're rushing the beat!" "Old Jin, are you trying to make me lip-sync?"

Qi Hao was speechless. Has the music industry started talking about lip-syncing so casually these days?

"If you don't lip-sync, you're making things difficult for the TV station..."

Jin Dazhou rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I get it. It means pre-recording and then lip-syncing on the spot."

Qi Hao has been in the industry for over ten years, and he understands these intricacies perfectly well. Holy crap, isn't this just like dubbing a movie in post-production?
"Yes, it is actually live singing, but not on stage, so as to avoid problems that are difficult to handle. The Spring Festival Gala has backup tapes, but local TV stations may not have them for their New Year's Eve galas."

Jin Dazhou is very familiar with these industry situations.

Let alone large-scale events, some singers even lip-sync at their concerts, truly mastering the art of exploiting fans.

Moreover, after the incident was exposed, fans actually tried to defend their idols and told bystanders not to meddle.

So humble, like Wu Dalang helping Ximen Qing push his buttocks.

"Alright then, help me make a demo so I can get to know An Feng better. Lao Jin, you've already chosen all the songs, so hurry up and finish it for me. I'm in a rush to release this movie during the summer season!"

Qi Hao took the opportunity to continue pressing for payment.

It's not that he doesn't care about animals, it's just that Jin Dazhou is really a bit slow.

"Don't worry, give me two more weeks, and I'll definitely get it done before June. This time the soundtrack will be better than the last one. Would I ever cheat you, my buddy?"

Jin Dazhou has no intention of backing down.

What difference does it make whether a movie is released in July or August?

Moreover, despite being a musician, he is actually quite knowledgeable about the approval process for film and television dramas.

After final editing, the film is sent to the local film administration department for preliminary review, and if approved, it is sent to the National Film Administration.

This process can be completed in ten days.

Then it will be submitted to the Film Bureau for review. Twenty days is no problem. Even if there are many submissions, it may be delayed by one to three months. This certainly does not include "You Are the Apple of My Eye" which is distributed by China Film Group.

The first two films took a month to complete, so the initial review of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" must have started much earlier.

Now only the final judgment remains.

Technical review is only involved during the final review, which requires adding the dragon logo video at the very beginning of the main film and finally completing post-production technical work such as color, sound, and subtitles.

The final review can be completed in twenty days.

All things considered, not only is a July release not a problem, but it could even be released at the end of June if we wanted to.

You asked if the review was rejected and returned for revision?
There's absolutely no need to worry about these kinds of love-themed films getting stuck in censorship.

Although the male and female protagonists are high school students when they first appear, they have not yet established a romantic relationship. Instead, they help each other with their studies.

This is definitely a positive incentive.

Moreover, the review time is not fixed. For films with special circumstances, such as those trying to meet release dates or those submitted to film festivals, the process can be expedited.

"Two weeks it is then. I'll bring Anfeng to the audition in a couple of days. I'll need your help then, as neither Anfeng nor I are professional singers..."

Qi Hao and An Feng had been here together before, so there was no need for them to hide anything.

"No problem at all. Just remember to send me an invitation if you ever get married."

Jin Dazhou laughed heartily.

Qi Hao is getting married, so those who attend the wedding must be extraordinary people.

Even a so-called top producer like him might not get an invitation, since Qi Hao isn't the type to invite heroes from all over the world to his wedding.

If the wedding is very small, it's probably just a gathering of big shots.

"That is required."

Qi Hao readily agreed, but before leaving, he asked curiously:

"Oh right, I forgot to ask, who did you originally plan to invite to sing this song 'Because of Love' that you received?"

"I highly recommend the Princess and Chen Yixun!"

Jin Dazhou no longer cares who Xiao Ke recommends; he has to recommend the boss and his wife.

He may not be pure enough as a musician; he hopes to become a music businessman.

It's not that he doesn't like music.

On the contrary, it is precisely because he loves it so much that he works hard to make the studio profitable so that it can continue to thrive in the long run.

There are many musicians with higher skill levels than him, but almost none of them are as successful as him now.

why?
Isn't it all because he hooked up with Qi Hao, this big shot?

After finishing "The Man from Nowhere," they made "You Are the Apple of My Eye," and before "You Are the Apple of My Eye" was even finished, "Kuiba" was already in the queue.

Furthermore, there are chain reactions.

Because of the great success of the soundtracks for "The Piano in a Factory" and "First Love", especially "First Love", which grossed over 300 million worldwide, many external projects have approached Jin Dazhou.

Many people firmly believe that the score Jin Dazhou composed for "A Little Thing Called First Love" is worth at least 30 million yuan at the box office.

It's impossible to finish, there's simply no way to finish it.

"Princess, Chen Yixun?" Qi Hao felt a toothache and looked at Jin Dazhou speechlessly, sighing, "You really think highly of me and An Feng."

How can He De He can.

One day, he actually managed to snatch a song from the princess and Chen Yixun.

Their financial power is unparalleled.
