Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 6: Thirty Years in the East, Five Minutes in the West

Lu Jiang felt a little uncomfortable.

But it's normal for people to have such thoughts.

After all, I am just a student. Even if my potential seems good, I am still just a student.

She has already acted in Qiong Yao dramas and is a member of Qiong Yao's company. Even if she is not famous yet, she is not comparable to a potential student.

How to do?
If it were the usual Lu Jiang, he would definitely say: Who are you looking down on?
But for the green treasure chest, Lu Jiang felt it was necessary to make a deeper impression on her.

So after filming was finished, Lu Jiang asked Fan Binbin, "Do you think this MV will be a hit?"

After hearing this, Fan Binbin's eyes lit up.

She liked this story very much.

So I also imagined that if this was the MV of a well-known singer, it would probably increase my fame.

But unfortunately, this is just a student's homework.

So when faced with Lu Jiang's question, she analyzed it carefully:

"It's a really good story, very touching. If it were a movie, I think it would definitely do a lot of box office. But this is a music video, and the most important thing about an music video is the song. If the song isn't good, it's hard to be a hit just by relying on the music video alone. Besides, this is just your homework. You haven't even decided whether to release it, so how can it be a hit?"

"I've decided to release it, and I've got the money ready: 15!"

"real or fake?"

"Of course, how can this fool you?"

Looking at Lu Jiang's serious expression.

Fan Binbin suddenly felt a little excited.

Publishing and not publishing naturally make a difference to her.

Distribution means exposure.

What if it becomes popular, right?
But reason prevailed in the end.

She advised: "Then you must have songs, and they must be good songs, otherwise it will be a waste of money."

"Can you tell what a good song is?"

"No, but I know that if even I don't like it, then it's definitely not a good song."

"You're right. How about this, when you come to record in a few days, please listen to my songs and give me some comments."

"Who wrote it? How much did it cost?"

Fan Binbin's eyes brightened again.

A rich second-generation who is willing to spend 15 yuan on homework.

I think the quality of the songs I buy here must not be too bad.

If that's the case.

Maybe I really got a bargain this time.

But Lu Jiang said: "Didn't I tell you that I write the lyrics and music myself, and then arrange and sing it."

Fan Binbin: “.”

You shouldn't have expectations.

Lu Jiang didn't care: "Contact me when the time comes."

The entire MV only has one lip-syncing shot, and it was completed the day before Fan Binbin joined the crew.

There was no song playing in the scene where the heroine was lying in the hospital and listening to the phone, so Fan Binbin didn't know what the song sounded like at that time.

I hope that after listening to the song, the treasure chest will move.
Three days later again.

Lu Jiang has completed the arrangement.

Fan Binbin also received a notice from Lu Jiang and came to the recording studio of the Central Academy of Drama to record "Fairy Tale".

The recording work was done quickly, after all, the heroine only had a few lines in the "Fairy Tale" MV.

After everything was settled, Lu Jiang said with a smile, "Now it's my turn. You must listen carefully and give the most objective evaluation."

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth."

Fan Binbin still didn't care too much.

If Lu Jiang said that the song was bought, she would take it more seriously.

But arranging the music, writing the lyrics, and singing it yourself?
forget it.

however.

When the first note sounded.

Fan Binbin could no longer close his mouth.

“Write together
Our Ending
"

Finished a song.

Lu Jiang in the radio room finally smiled.

Green treasure chest, take it!
"Did you really write this? You're such a great singer? When are you planning on releasing it?"

After Lu Jiang came out, Fan Binbin started asking questions like a machine gun.

"Of course I wrote it myself."

"How come you're so amazing? You can write songs, sing so well, write scripts, and direct. Are you a freak?"

Yes, yes, that’s exactly the effect we want!

This wave is like the situation of thirty years in the east and five minutes in the west.

Lu Jiang's brows relaxed and he felt very relaxed.

"That's called genius!"

"Look how proud I am of you." Fan Binbin curled his lips upon seeing this, but the look he gave Lu Jiang was different after all.

Obviously, in her eyes, the label on Lu Jiang's forehead has basically gotten rid of the word "student".

When you are just an excellent student, you may be a celebrity on campus, but in society, you are nothing. In Fan Binbin's eyes, there is naturally not much point in making friends with such people.

But it's different now.

The songwriting is excellent and the voice is superb.

He can also compose music, has strong screenwriting skills, and is studying directing.

Does such a person have a bright future? Is he worth making friends with?

The answer is a must!

So the green treasure chest immediately came into Lu Jiang’s mind.

Lu Jiang was very satisfied.

My analysis turned out to be correct.

Connections, that is, Fan Binbin’s own value in his eyes, are the key to influencing this treasure chest.

Of course there are also some regrets.

The treasure chest is still green and has not been upgraded.

Lu Jiang probably understood the reason.

In Fan Binbin's eyes, his own value has increased, but not to the level of blue in Fan Binbin's concept.

So how can I upgrade to blue?

Lu Jiang felt that he could only wait until the song was released, and then he became famous and his status increased.

By this calculation, it will take at least a few months.

It was a bit regrettable, but Lu Jiang was still very patient.

But at this moment.

The treasure chest suddenly changed.

A 24-hour countdown suddenly appeared on the treasure chest.

Lu Jiang was startled at first, and then quickly received a stream of information.

It turns out that there is a time limit for opening the treasure chest.

When an event ends, the treasure chest obtained must be opened within 24 hours.

But the question is, why is this incident over now?

Lu Jiang looked at the entry again.

He got it.

Act, make money, and gain new connections.

Fan Binbin’s three demands have all been met, and the incident naturally ended.

Unless "gaining new connections" is replaced by "increasing fame", this incident will not be over until the song is released and becomes popular.

Ok.

The blue treasure chest is no longer available.

Lu Jiang felt a little regretful, but he quickly calmed down.

At least, I got a new green treasure chest this time.

Moreover, with Fan Binbin's ambition, the probability of producing high-level treasure chests in the future is estimated to be much greater than that of others.

And his own strength growth rate is estimated to be faster than Fan Binbin's.

By then, it will still be easy to harvest.

After recording the song, Lu Jiang and Fan Binbin found a place to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, Fan Binbin talked about "Fairy Tale" every three sentences.

It was obvious that, in addition to the fact that "Fairy Tale" had a profound impact on her, she had also been eager to see herself become famous along with the MV.

When talking about publishing, Fan Binbin suggested: "Hey Lu Jiang, I know a record company, do you want to go and have a look?"

"How is the strength?"

“It used to be OK, but now I hear it’s about to close down.”

"You're introducing it to me when it's about to go bankrupt?"

"You're not willing to sign long-term contracts, aren't you? You don't want to sign contracts, but you want to find someone reliable and with stable distribution channels. How easy is that?"

That's true.

In addition to registering copyrights and arranging music these days, Lu Jiang also learned about the cooperation models of some record companies.

Although I prepared 15.

However, matters such as production, distribution, and publicity are not trivial, especially distribution, which is the key that directly affects sales. It is definitely not possible to do it yourself, so you have to find a company with stable channels.

These companies are basically medium to large record companies, and if you cooperate with them, you basically have to sign a long-term contract.

So the issuance was stalled for a while.

"Lu Jiang, why don't you go and take a look? They're having a hard time, maybe you can get some good deals."

"Okay, give me your contact information and address."

Lu Jiang did not refuse directly.

But I decided to let Gao Xixi watch the finished MV first.
