Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 225 A good start, "Scary Step by Step" is a big hit!
May 8st, morning.

For Cao Jun's third solo album, all recording and filming have been completed, and post-production has begun.

In the afternoon of the same day, Cao Jun flew to Shanghai and went to Sugarman Film and Television Company to participate in the creation of the theme song and ending song of the TV series "Scary Step by Step".

As for the soundtrack of more than ten scenes of the play, all of them were completed by Huang Yinghua, a well-known dubbing artist of Xiangjiang, and his team.

Huang Yinghua is a dubbing artist who debuted in 1994. He has worked as a music producer for "The Butterfly Lovers", "Dark War" and "Kung Fu".

As a dubbing artist, Huang Yinghua's greatest achievement is that he won the Best Film Score Award at the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards for the soundtrack of "The Butterfly Lovers".

Cao Jun still said that professional things should be done by professionals.

Although Cao Jun can also make his own soundtrack and save some money for the crew, he is very aware of his identity and doesn't want to do everything.

Cao Jun didn't talk too much. After arriving at Sugarman Film and Television Company, he directly took out the demos of the three songs he had prepared, and let Li Guoli and Cai Yinong try them out.

Cao Jun brought these three songs, the theme song is "One Thought Persistence", the ending song is "Waiting for You Season", and the interlude is "Three Inches of Heaven".

After listening to these three songs, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli showed satisfied expressions.

Cai Yinong smiled and complimented: "Cao Jun, casting you as the leading actor in "Scary Step by Step" is the most sensible choice made by Sugarman and Century Film and Television. We have made a lot of money this time."

"As the male lead, you can not only fight against the ratings, but also help us write songs. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Obviously, Cai Yinong didn't know that Century Film and Television Company was actually Cao Jun's company.

Cao Jun replied with a smile: "I am also very honored to be able to cooperate with you Sugarman Film and Television."

Cai Yinong stretched out her hand, smiled and said to Cao Jun: "Happy cooperation!"

Cao Jun also extended his hand, shook Cai Yinong's hand, and said, "It's a happy cooperation!"

After a few polite chats, Cai Yinong asked curiously: "Cao Jun, do you want to sing these three songs by yourself, or let other singers sing?"

Cao Jun said frankly: "I won't sing. The three songs I wrote are more suitable for female singers, not male singers."

Cai Yinong asked with great interest: "Really? Then, do you have any plans to invite three female singers to sing?"

Cao Jun said truthfully: "I have already thought about it. Of these three songs, Liu Shishi will sing one and Zeng Li will sing two."

Zeng Li, a new female singer, Cai Yinong still knows more or less, but Liu Shishi...

Cai Yinong has a doubt in her heart, can Liu Shishi sing?

Thinking of this, Cai Yinong asked uncertainly: "Cao Jun, I didn't deliberately pick things up, Liu Shishi, will she sing back?"

Cao Jun replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to sing, I will help her tune and make sure there is no problem!"

At the beginning, Cao Jun had planned to let Zeng Li, Zhang Hanyun, and Liu Shishi sing a song each. Zeng Li sang "Three Inches of Heaven", Liu Shishi sang "Waiting for Your Season", Zhang Sing "One Thought Persistence" with rhyme.

However, since Zhang Hanyun has not terminated the contract with her company, after careful consideration, Cao Jun decided to let his girlfriend Zeng Li sing the two songs "Three Inches of Heaven" and "One Thought Persistence". Shishi sang the song "The Season Waiting for You".

Although Zeng Li is not considered a first-line female singer, she has also successfully appeared in the circle with the two songs "New Drunken Concubine" and "The Longer I Get Lonely", and has a good reputation and popularity.

Therefore, Cai Yinong not only has no objection, but also very much agrees with Zeng Li's singing of "Scary Step by Step".

In Shangyanshang, the three songs written by Cao Jun are also paid for their creation, not doing good deeds for free.

However, because he is a close partner, Cao Jun did not open his mouth, and only charged a symbolic fee for his hard work.

In addition, there is the copyright pricing issue of the TV series "Scary Step by Step".

In other words, every TV series has copyright and will be sold to TV stations and other film and television broadcasting platforms, and these platforms have the right to broadcast and carry out secondary distribution or secondary creation.

The copyright of a TV series can be used many times. The more popular it is, the higher the number of broadcasts, and the higher the price of secondary distribution.

It is worth mentioning that the TV series "Startling by Every Step" co-produced by Century Film and Sugar Man Film and Television, starring Cao Jun, Liu Shishi, Zheng Jiaying, Sun Li, and Yuan Hong, has not completed post-production, and has already broadcast it. The copyright was sold to three TV stations, namely Beijing Satellite TV, Dragon TV, and Guangfu Satellite TV.

Although the heroine Liu Shishi is a newcomer in film and television, Cao Jun has won the favor of major TV stations by virtue of her excellent ratings in the past and the golden signboard of Sugar Man Film and Television.

After several days of negotiations, Beijing Satellite TV, Dragon TV, and Guangfu Satellite TV each bought the rights to broadcast the 28-episode TV series "Scary Step by Step" at a price of 35 an episode.

The three TV stations spent 980 million each, and a total of 2940 million, to purchase the rights to broadcast "Bu Bu Jing".

And the total investment of "Scary Step by Step" is only a mere 1500 million yuan.

That is to say, excluding the production costs, Sugarman Film and Television and Century Film and Television obtained a total net profit of 1440 million yuan with this film.

Since Century Film and Television accounted for two-thirds of the total investment, Cao Jun's Century Film and Television can also obtain 960 million yuan with this film.

As for Sugar Man Film and Television, with an investment of 500 million yuan, it has obtained a net profit of 480 million yuan. The cost performance of the investment is close to one to one, which can be very good.

All in all, whether it is Century Film and Television or Sugar Man Film and Television, they have gained considerable income by virtue of the TV series "Scary Step by Step".

March 8th, late.

Sugar Man Film and Television and Century Film and Television held a low-key celebration banquet at a local big hotel.

Cao Jun and Gao Qi, as well as Cai Yinong, Li Guoli and other high-level sugar people, all attended the celebration banquet.

As for the chairman of Century Film and Television, Cao Jun's father——Cao Jianbin, because he was in Guangfu, he was still a dragon, and he didn't show up at the celebration banquet.

As the president of Century Film and Television, Gao Qi represented the chairman Cao Jianbin, and Tangren's top management
After drinking for three rounds, Cai Yinong said to Gao Qi with a full face of regret: "Mr. Gao, you really have the vision to take the actress I like under your flag."

Gao Qi smiled and asked: "Mr. Cai, you are talking about Liu Shishi, right? Liu Shishi's image and temperament are indeed not bad."

In fact, what Cai Yinong didn't know was that Gao Qi hardly participated in any part of the signing of Liu Shishi by Century Film and Television, and it was all done by Cao Jun.

Cai Yinong did not lie, ever since she missed Liu Qianqian, she has always wanted to create a "little Liu Qianqian" to make up for her inner regret.

As early as when filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Cai Yinong admired Liu Shishi's fighting scenes, as well as her potential and professional attitude.

However, Cai Yinong overestimated Liu Shishi and underestimated Liu Qianqian. There is still a big gap between Liu Shishi and Liu Qianqian.

In the end, what Cai Yinong didn't expect was that Century Film and Television would take the lead and use the female lead of "Scary Step by Step" to recruit Liu Shishi under his command.
