Start with the star survival show

Chapter 444 Either Being Banned Or On The Road To Being Banned
A phone call was made to the recording studio of Warner Records. When Wu Hu came over with Yahuazi, everything was ready there.

After Yahuazi brewed his emotions, he went straight into the recording studio to audition.

After singing it twice, Wu Hu didn't feel right, so he called out Yahuazi, pulled him aside and started talking with her, "Didn't I tell you all about it last night? Don't worry about the singing you know. Technique, forget about it, and put feelings into it. You have been thinking about the script for so long, and you have been filming together for so long, can’t you understand the sense of fate between the hero and heroine? You think about it again... "

After half an hour, Wu Hu was finally satisfied with the Yahuazi that had been prepared for so long.

There is nothing he can do if he is not satisfied. After all, Wu Hu has not obtained any skills related to singing skills before, so he cannot help Ya Huazi improve her singing skills in a short time.

If you can't sing well, you can only choose to replace it with abundant emotion.Some of the remaining flaws can be completed with the help of a universal tuner.

After all, Wu Hu is also proficient in the skills of a million sound repairers.

At noon, Yahuazi and Wu Hu had dinner with President Chen, the head of Warner Music's Asia region, and chatted about the announcement of the soundtrack album.

As for Wu Hu's share of the album, there is no need for Wu Hu to urge this, and President Chen will not easily default on it.After all, President Chen was also worried that Wu Hu would not feel happy with the cooperation, so he turned around and threw himself into Sony's arms. Sony stole Wu Hu's heart, but he never died.

The news that the three of them were eating out quickly spread.

After eating, when they left the restaurant, Wu Hu and Ya Huazi were surrounded by Yu Ji.

"Fat Tiger, are you dating Sissy?"

Hearing this, Wu Hu nodded his head, "Yes, yes! I even invited President Chen from Warner Records to be a light bulb for the two of us!"

His words immediately made President Chen, Ya Huazi, and other entertainment reporters beside him burst into laughter.

Yuji was also a little speechless, and he didn't expect Wu Hu to answer like this.

"Sissy, are you planning to sign a contract with Warner Records and re-enter the music scene?"

Ya Huazi shook his head and said, "It's not re-entering the music scene, it's just the theme song of the show 'Stars'. Fat Tiger asked me to try singing it. Today I'm going to record this song."

Wu Hu added: "Actually, Sissy still has singing skills, but her style is not suitable for the line of strong singing and dancing. Lyrical songs are quite suitable for her."

"Fat Tiger, you're not bragging again!"

Hearing this suspicion, Ya Huazi was very angry, it was obvious that she didn't believe her!
Wu Hu said with a smile: "When the show 'Xing Xing' airs, everyone will know if I'm bragging! Well, let's all give way! Don't block people from doing business."

At this time, Yahuazi's bodyguard driver also arrived.

Wu Hu was going to the company, so Ya Huazi called the bodyguard driver over. She had no intention of going to the company, and planned to go back and have a rest first.

Seeing that they couldn't stop Wu Hu and Ya Huazi, the entertainment reporters had no choice but to turn to interview President Chen.

President Chen revealed, "Warner Records has cooperated with New World Media. The original soundtrack album of the show 'Stars' will be released by Warner Records..."

From President Chen, everyone knows that Wu Hu and Ya Huazi not only collaborated on the drama 'Xing Xing', but also collaborated on the original soundtrack album of this drama.

When this news spread on the Internet, everyone's sense of anticipation was instantly filled.

Of course, there are also many people who are worried about whether Wu Hu will capsize with Yahuazi. After all, Yahuazi broke into the music scene and ended in a dismal end, which is obvious to all.

Although Wu Hu is very powerful, who knows if he can lead Fei Ya Hua Zi!

In short, there are those who are looking forward to it, and those who are not optimistic, and there is no shortage of cynicism.

In fact, it is not a new thing to act while the best sing, but it is difficult to say whether they can sing well. Many stars just want to take the opportunity to collect money from fans and cut leeks.

Who knows if Wu Hu and Ya Huazi also have the same idea!

That is to say, Da Mimi has not sung the out-of-tone version of "Oxygen Supply" live, otherwise there will definitely be netizens who will ridicule Yahuazi, will she be like Da Mimi.

In fact, Yahuazi also sang some live, but her style is really not suitable for singing and dancing.Compared with Mimi, the queen of out-of-tones, Yahuazi is actually pretty good.

After returning to the company after two months, the employees of the company couldn't help being stunned when they saw Wu Hu appear, and then stood up to give Wu Hu applause.

Some are even chewing on their lunch boxes, and it's their meal time now.

"Congratulations to the boss, the album is selling well, and he is back in triumph!"

I don't know which little clever ghost called out, and then there were similar compliments in the office.

Wu Hu couldn't help being stunned. After all, today is the weekend, the company shouldn't have so many talents. Then he saw the assistant director Kang Zhi walking out of the office, followed by Lao Bai, the head of the company's screenwriting department.

"Boss, you are finally back!"

Wu Hu nodded to him, raised his hand to press down, turned his head and smiled at the employees who worked overtime on weekends: "Everyone works hard, and bonuses will be added at the end of the year!"

In a word, everyone's enthusiasm for work was instantly ignited.

Unfortunately, it is lunch and lunch break time.

After Wu Hu came to the office, Kang Zhi and Lao Bai followed in.

Lao Bai still had the script in his hand.

Wu Hu looked at Lao Bai, and said with a smile: "Today is the weekend, and your screenwriting department is usually the most free, why are you still working at the company today?"

Lao Bai put the two scripts in front of Wu Hu's desk, and said with a smile: "I know the boss, you came back yesterday, Mr. Kang said that you will definitely come to the company today, so I waited at the company, and sure enough, Kang It's always right. This is the script we filled in and polished, and the other one was saved by our partnership. Mr. Kang was not satisfied with the scripts we saved before..."

Wu Hu casually flipped through the scripts, one was the script they had saved themselves, and the other was the script "Lucky Key" that Wu Hu asked them to fill in and polish.

"Lucky Key" has decided to cooperate with Zhongying, and Zhongying has already told Huang Bo that Huang Bo is also very interested in this drama.

In fact, even if he wasn't interested, he didn't dare to show it. After all, Zhongying was one of the most powerful film and television companies in Zhonghuajia.

Those who are in the film and television industry, who would dare not give that sitting mountain sculpture a little bit of a nudge?
Huang Bo is also known in the industry for his high EQ, so he naturally knows how to deal with it.

What's more, there is also a strong rise of New World Media.Although the size of New World Media is very small, its boss is Wu Hu, an international superstar.

Wu Hu's debut album sold well overseas, giving him an international title, but not many people called him an international superstar at the time.But now, as his second album continues to be popular overseas, several English songs have entered the top ten of the Bald Eagle Billboard charts, and one even topped the charts, which gave him a powerful aura.

Now that he is called an international superstar, not many people have refuted it.

You know, someone is willing to pay 1500 million knives for his current boxing match. With this price, he is not a superstar. Who is a superstar?
New World Media owns Wu Hu, no matter how small it is, no actor will refuse it easily.What's more, as far as the present is concerned, the works produced by New World Media are still high-quality products.Even "Embroidered Spring Knife" has a box office of more than 1 million.

After more than two months of filling, modifying and polishing, "Lucky Key" is already a finished product. Wu Hu looked at it and found no obvious mistakes, so he put it aside.

Then I watched the work that their screenwriting department had saved up. It was a horror movie with elements of horror and suspense, but there were no ghosts in the script, and it was all about psychology.

If there is an element of ghosts, let alone the release, it will not pass the review.

This also limits the development of ghost films in Zhonghua movies.If you want to make a horror movie, you can only wear heavy shackles, there can be no ghost elements, and it can’t be too bloody, so everyone can only play psychological suspense to shape the horror atmosphere of the movie.

This is also the reason why many ghost movies suddenly become a mentally ill person pretending to be a ghost after watching it. There is no other way but to shoot like this.

And these restrictions are also the reason why people feel that the drama "Ghost" cannot be broadcast on the star.Don't say that you can't be on the star broadcast, even if you want to go through the trial, it will be troublesome.

The script is called "The Case of Wife Killing in the Republic of China".

Wu Hu briefly read the script and found that the story told in the script was somewhat similar to the "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" from another time and space.

Of course, the similarity lies in that it tells the ugly and despicable nature of human nature through this tragedy of killing a wife. By creating suspense and adding folk tales, it achieves the scary purpose of creating suspense, and at the same time it touches on human nature.

As for the background and where the story takes place, it has nothing to do with that movie.

After Wu Hu looked at it briefly, he looked at it again carefully, and half an hour passed like this.Both Kang Zhi and Lao Bai didn't speak, they waited silently.

The more Wu Hu looked at it carefully, the more anxious Lao Bai became, but apart from being uneasy, he was also somewhat worried.The script they saved up is more or less suspected of plagiarism. After all, it is easy to find the prototype of the wife killing case, and the real focus is on human nature.

And there are so many scripts that explore human nature.

After a long time, Wu Hu closed the script, glanced at Lao Bai, and finally at Kang Zhi, "What do you think of this script? You are the vice president, so you can express your opinion."

Hearing this, Kang Zhi said, "To be honest with the boss, it was actually my idea to ask the screenwriter department to come up with such a story. I think that there is only one comedy in domestic films, and comedy has a wide audience. , but the investment can be very small, there is no need for any big scenes, no special effects, and all those money-burning things can be avoided."

Wu Hu didn't ask, 'Then why don't you make a comedy film, but a horror film? '

Sure enough, after Kang Zhi paused, he continued: "Comedy films are not only limited by creativity, but also by actors and directors. Our company does not have such conditions, and there are not many comedians themselves. The script written by you, boss Although it is also a comedy, Zhongying will not refuse to cooperate with the boss, but Laobai and the others are not the boss after all."

Lao Bai nodded and said, "In fact, the cost of comedy films is much higher than that of horror films. Because the actors of comedy films need a certain level of comedy skills, there are not many such actors, and the salary will not be cheap. There are actually only a few actors who can play a big role in comedies. Horror movies are different, you can put all newcomers, and it doesn’t matter if the acting skills are poor, as long as the horror atmosphere can be created well..."

Wu Hu nodded. Although New World Media would give people a sense of pettiness for doing such a small cost, but since it can make money, there is no need to give up this opportunity.

This kind of small production team can also cultivate some behind-the-scenes teams, and because of the small investment, there is no need to recruit other large companies to form a team, and it can take the opportunity to develop New World Media's own distribution capabilities.Even if the theaters are interested, they can also invite them to play together.

When Kang Zhi said this idea, Wu Hu couldn't help but look at him more.

This kid can do it!He didn't even think about eating alone, but knew how to use this method to win over theaters and expand the company's distribution capabilities.

Kang Zhi felt a little uneasy when Wu Hu looked at him, "Boss, can't you do this?"

Wu Hu shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with the way! But there are some problems with the script."

As he said that, Wu Hu looked directly at Lao Bai, "Do you want to tell stories, or tell stories about human nature? This must be clearly distinguished."

Lao Bai was stunned for a moment, and said, "These two are not in conflict!"

Wu Hu shook his head, "You know Jiang Wen, right?"

Who doesn't know the famous Director Jiang?A piece of "Let the Bullets Fly" directly asked him to stand up and sing as a serf, but he was so awesome!
Lao Bai was just wondering why Wu Hu suddenly mentioned this person?

Wu Hu asked: "Before "Let the Bullets Fly", could his movies make money?"

When Lao Bai heard this, he couldn't help but remain silent.

Is Director Jiang's movie any good?No one dares to say bad!

But can his movies make money?Before "Let the Bullets Fly," his films had barely made any money, and were either in the process of being banned or on their way to being banned.

Lao Bai really wanted to say that although his films didn't make money, they could win awards!
But think about it, can their movie win an award?
Thinking about it, Lao Bai silently shook his head, winning the prize is not so easy.

Wu Hu knocked on the table and said: "When we make a movie, we first think about the box office, and then think about other things. If this is a literary film, then it's another story. But now, this script is obviously aimed at the box office. .”

Kang Zhi nodded involuntarily, and Lao Bai was also humbly accepting the lesson.

No way, who told Wu Hu to have written a script that sold well at the box office!

Although the script has the shadow of "Infernal Affairs", it is not easy to innovate on the basis of "Infernal Affairs".

Wu Hu is fully qualified to criticize them on the script.

"Do you know why many people don't like Director Jiang?" Wu Hu asked another question that made them all puzzled.

Does anyone hate Director Jiang?

There are many people who like him, but there are indeed many people who hate him.

"He likes to educate people in movies." Wu Hu laughed, "In the words of some netizens, after a tiring day, being lectured by parents and wives at home, and being lectured by the boss at the company, I will watch a movie Relax, why are you still preaching, are you going to die or not? The words are not rough, no one likes to be preached by others. Therefore, the part of the script that discusses human nature should not be too long, just present the picture of the story , how the audience judges, that is the audience's business, there is no need for us to impose an explanation..."

Lao Bai hurriedly nodded, originally he thought that talking about human nature could add more connotation to this low-budget movie!Unexpectedly, the result was thankless.

"In addition, since it is a horror, thriller and suspense film, why not add more ghost elements? Some mountain village ghost stories are very good horror elements..."

Wu Hu began to talk eloquently, and he and Lao Bai began to refer to "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" about the script of the "Wife Killing Case".

Seeing Wu Hu's continuous flow of ideas, and the appearance of coming at his fingertips, Lao Bai would be lying if he said he was not envious.

As a screenwriter, what is the most important thing?
It's an idea!
Other skills can be learned, but ideas and creativity require inspiration.

As for inspiration and creativity, it doesn't mean that you can have it if you have it.However, all kinds of creative ideas in this boss's mind are emerging one after another, which is enviable.

"It's the weekend, let's go back and rest! This script is not in a hurry, you can save it up slowly. Our company currently has a lot of projects, and the filming of 'Ghosts' is about to start, followed by 'You Now You See Me', and 'The Lucky Key' ..."

After a pause, he continued: "By the way, when filming "Lucky Key", you sent a screenwriter to talk to the crew, and don't allow anyone to change our script at will, unless there are serious logical errors or inappropriate omissions... ..."

With him in the crew, there is no need to talk to the crew, because he is himself.

But without him, some screenwriters are still needed.Although there may not be anything wrong, but if there are some mistakes in the script and need to be revised, they need to be on call.

Of course, if any actor wants to modify the script they set at will, relying on their own fame, they can only let them go as far as they can.

I'm not used to your stinking problems, I like to act or not!
