I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 124 New short video (please subscribe)
Zhou Dingran did not directly agree to sign the contract, because Jing Tian said that even for the top S sign, there is room for negotiation.

Therefore, after leaving his contact information with Zhenshijia and Qinchao Culture, Zhou Dingran temporarily took his attention away from the selection of new media operators and devoted himself to the filming of "Fireworks on Earth".

More than half of the scenes in "Fireworks on Earth" needed to be shot in Qiantang City.

Therefore, the crew is expected to stay here for more than 20 days.

In the past month, as the second male lead, although Zhou Dingran did not have as many roles as the male and female leads, he still had to arrive at the set every day to sign in and clock in.

After cooperating with the crew to film some scenes with the heroine, and receiving unanimous praise from the crew, Zhou Dingran suddenly discovered that his script was thicker than before.

He asked doubtfully, and when the assistant director Ma Di learned about it, he immediately said attentively: "Director Lu thinks that your role can be appropriately increased and the role will be fleshed out, so he added a few more scenes for you."

"How many games is this?"

Zhou Dingran pointed at the thick script in a funny way.

He just took a quick look and found out that according to the original plot rhythm, his role as the second male lead was unexpectedly increased by nearly half of the scenes, adding up to more than 30 scenes.

What made Zhou Dingran most angry was that the director team almost added scenes just for the sake of adding scenes.

Many plot points do not contribute to the development of the plot at all, but they are still written into the script.

The character who was originally very interesting suddenly became flooded with water.

"This Lu Tao, doesn't he understand the principle of trying only briefly?" Zhou Dingran frowned.

With more than 20 years of experience as an actor, he intuitively told him that such an abrupt addition would most likely offend the audience.

After all, I am not the leading male, and with so many roles, I will definitely be called a drama tyrant.

If he plays such a role that is hated by the audience, Zhou Dingran would rather not play it.

You must know that although the system will help Zhou Dingran gain popularity, if you want to redeem items in the system mall or participate in a lottery, you need positive feedback such as favorability, admiration and adoration.

If a character is a villain and brings bad reviews and bad reviews, it will not only be useless to Zhou Dingran, but it will also likely reduce the speed at which he can gain favor, admiration, and admiration.

This is something Zhou Dingran must strictly prohibit.

He must play positive roles throughout his life, and the roles must be well-received.

No matter what kind of villain he is, no matter how good the script is, Zhou Dingran always stays away from them.

Therefore, when faced with the director's reckless behavior, Zhou Dingran would certainly not be as ecstatic as the young actor, let alone let it go.

Instead, he went directly to Lu Tao and put forward his opinions in a very decisive and firm tone, without any room for negotiation, "I don't need to add drama!"

Lu Tao was stunned. After a long while, he said in surprise: "Others make movies and wish they could add hundreds of more scenes to the movie, but you are better off. I want to add more scenes for you, but you don't want..."

"Soldiers are expensive, not expensive."

Zhou Dingran said: "In the same way, it is best to create a character well, highlight some key plot points, and just touch it briefly. If it is just for the sake of adding drama, I think it will not only be a waste of the crew's time, but the audience will also be impatient."

Lu Tao said thoughtfully: "Is this what you really think?"

"Yes." Zhou Dingran admitted.

Lu Tao smiled and said: "Then I'm relieved. I was worried that you would think the plot was too little, so I asked the screenwriter to write a few more scenes for you. You know, I regard you as the talisman of the crew. Without your wonderful performance, , this drama will definitely be much inferior."

Wouldn't it be better if I starred in it?

Zhou Dingran was disdainful from the bottom of his heart, no matter how good his acting skills were, he couldn't save a bad drama.

Although "Human Fireworks" is not a bad drama, it does not match the quality.

It can only be said to be a qualified soap opera.

It is basically impossible for Zhou Dingran to make a comeback with this drama.

The first reason why he participated in this TV series was because it was an internship assignment assigned by the school-not only him, but also the entire acting class students had to submit papers.

The second reason is that Zhou Dingran was involved in a contract lawsuit with Tianmang at the time. It can be said that the role of this drama was personally lobbied by his mentor Chen Daozhou. In order to live up to Chen Daozhou's expectations, Zhou Dingran took the role.

The third reason is that Zhou Dingran wants to rely on this drama to show his acting skills to the outside world.

As long as someone can see Zhou Dingran in this drama, then Zhou Dingran's plan will be half successful.

The actor has master-level acting skills that have been judged by the system, and can also show absolute movie-quality acting on the set. As long as Zhou Dingran is given the opportunity to star in "Human Fireworks", his performance will definitely be outstanding.

A layman might just say it's awesome.

But if an expert sees it, he will definitely be crazy and go to Zhou Dingran to film.

Zhou Dingran's current quotation is very cheap.

The salary for a movie is about one million, which is more than ten times lower than the salary quoted by the predecessor at its peak, which was often tens of millions.

But even so, no one is willing to easily invite Zhou Dingran to join the group.

After all, Tianmang's pressure can be said to be a knife that hangs over the heads of many crew members.

No one is willing to take the risk of offending Tianmang and find an actor who is not sure whether he has box office and ratings appeal to join the cast.

Therefore, the contract for "Human Fireworks" is absolutely of great significance.

As long as Zhou Dingran delivers a perfect answer, coupled with Chen Daozhou's lobbying, Zhou Dingran will definitely receive more and more roles that require his acting skills to be tested.

……

After carefully questioning Zhou Dingran and confirming that the other party was not joking, Lu Tao finally chose to compromise and delete some scenes that Zhou Dingran considered unnecessary.

And retained some necessary scenes.

There were originally more than 30 new scenes, but after deletion, deletion, and selection, only four scenes were left.

Four new scenes were added to the original script, which only polished the character played by Zhou Dingran, rather than adding anything to it.

Just when Zhou Dingran was actively involved in filming and carefully thinking about the feasibility of the live broadcast business.

Haijiao.com's "The Rise of Hualiu Guofeng Cup" creation competition, which has been promoted for more than half a month, will be officially announced in a week's time.

The entire music world was shocked.

Because today, Haijiao.com officially opened the Guofeng Cup entry page.

The pre-heated list of contestants is clearly displayed on the page.

There are not only a large number of three- and four-star singers, but also a few five-star singers.

The number of songwriters is relatively small, but it is still a very grand occasion.

In the pre-heating list, not only veteran five-star songwriters such as Ou Tianming and Wang Weiwen will participate, but also some songwriters who have almost withdrawn from the music industry and are no longer in the music industry have also appeared on the pre-heating list.The most eye-catching one is the addition of top songwriter Cao Zhan.

And he will join forces with Pu Lanyu, a top 3 singer in the music industry, to participate in the Guofeng Cup Creation Competition.

"It's exciting, it's so exciting. This is definitely a great time for the music industry!"

"There are so many five-star singers and five-star songwriters!"

"By joining forces, this Guofeng Cup will probably produce countless classic works!"

"A large number of three-star songwriters and singers will be cannon fodder. Only five-star singers and five-star songwriters can truly rise in this competition."

"Hey, Mr. Wen Chao actually announced his participation in the competition!"

Amid the heated discussion, many people suddenly noticed that Wen Chaogong also chose to participate in the pre-heating list.

The person who paired up with Wenzhaogong was not the five-star singer Wei Xiao, but two little-known newcomers.

One is three-star singer Shi Yucheng, and the other is two-star singer Han Xiyue.

"Shi Yucheng was once a popular contestant on "National Idol" and was very powerful. If he hadn't been so average-looking, he might be a member of the Miracle Boys now."

"Well, Shi Yucheng's ability is indeed very good. He is one of the best among the younger generation of singers. I have listened to some of his songs. If his style was not unpopular, he might have become popular long ago."

"It's not easy to be helped by Wenzhao Gong. I hope he can achieve good results in this competition!"

"But who is this Han Xiyue?"

"Two-star singer? Mr. Wen Chao is really not picky about food at all!"

"My four-star singer expressed dissatisfaction!"

"I, a five-star singer, also cried with envy!"

Many people were surprised and began to check Han Xiyue's past resume. They found that Han Xiyue was only 23 years old and a senior student at Peking Dance Academy. Although he had released some songs in the past, the feedback he received was quite weak. Upgrading to a two-star singer is also due to Han Xiyue's hard work and continuous release of songs on Haijiao.com for four years in college.

In four years, he has released a total of more than 30 songs, which is considered highly productive in the student singer circle.

But even if he released more than 30 songs, the results were very little, and it was impossible to get into Wenzhaogong's position.

"The new star rating is coming soon. Although Wenzhao Gong has only debuted for a month, he has successively released three songs: "Borrow from Heaven for Another 500 Years", "Under the Moon" and "Lonely Warrior", especially "Lonely Warrior" ", it's so popular, so in this star rating, Wenzhao Gong will definitely get four stars, or even five stars!"

"Five stars are impossible. Although he has the ability of a five-star songwriter, he has only released three songs after all. The evaluation standard for five-star singers is a minimum annual income of 500 million. No matter how powerful Wenzhao Gong is, he cannot do it in a month. I made a net profit of 500 million from three songs."

"Even four-star singers can barely do it. Four-star singers also need a minimum net income of five million yuan to meet the qualifications for promotion."

"One month... three songs, 500 million? Impossible."

The monthly star rating day is approaching, and many people are speculating on the number of stars Wen Chao Gong will receive, but no one doubts that Wen Chao Gong has the ability to be a five-star songwriter.

"So who is this Han Xiyue? How did she get Wenzhao Gong's works?"

Countless people were puzzled, and even one of the representative figures, Song Xiaobo, the composer of Fanghua Entertainment, couldn't help but send a private message to Wenzhao Gong to inquire.

When Zhou Dingran learned all this, he was also confused:

"I know I gave Shi Yucheng a song "Lanting Preface", but when did I write a song for a singer named Han Xiyue?"

Zhou Dingran was puzzled and thought carefully: "With the name Yong Wenzhao Gong, I have only written a few songs in total. "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years", "Under the Moon", and "The Lonely Warrior" have all been released. The works, "Never Left", "The Road to Peace" and "Chasing Dreams" have not been officially released yet..."

Zhou Dingran looked through the blind boxes of songs he had obtained so far, and soon he discovered the key points.

Looking at a song that was the earliest to be acquired but has not been released yet, I was slightly stunned and asked, ""Three Worships to the Red Dust"?"

"It turned out to be this song!"

"This song was originally sold to a movie called "Purdah" as the theme song. After the transaction was completed, the account of the "Purdage" crew was always gray and no longer online..."

"I didn't expect that the crew would actually come up with this song to compete in the National Style Cup..."

Zhou Dingran recalled this memory in his mind, and immediately searched the Internet for relevant information about "Purdah".

"This crappy movie is going to be released in less than two weeks?"

"Not even a serious announcement? This crew is really poor!"

"You are so calm that you waited until now to release it, and even found a college student singer to sing this song... Damn it, ruin my reputation!"

Zhou Dingran is a little angry. He is now a five-star songwriter in the eyes of countless people. The song "Three Worships in the Red Dust" was originally a work he casually sent away. Now that he is "cheating" in his name, it really makes Zhou Dingran a little bit angry. Annoyed.

But after he carefully checked the lyrics and music of "Three Worships of the Red Dust", he suddenly felt that this song might not be as bad as he thought before.

Although there are a lot of repeated chords in the composition, there are occasional wonderful moments.

In addition, the lyrics are also vividly written.

"The secular world makes people crazy, every word is biased, and this marriage defines nobility." Combined with the "Purdah" information that Zhou Dingran has reviewed, it instantly makes people feel that the song is very suitable for the movie.

“Internet celebrity songs also have the benefits of Internet celebrity songs.”

Zhou Dingran secretly said: "At least in the current short video era, this kind of short and fast melody is easier to spread and more likely to bring me popularity."

He carefully looked at the song "Three Worships in the Red Dust", and felt more and more that the quality of this song was not as bad as he imagined. Then an idea flashed in Zhou Dingran's mind, and he thought of another song with a similar theme, "囍".

This song, he remembered, was a song he had heard on a hip-hop show.

I can't remember the specific lyrics and melody, but the weird and inexplicably touching scene of the dancers dancing in that show made Zhou Dingran feel creepy and memorable.

As soon as he thought about this, Zhou Dingran went to the system mall to search for the price of the song "囍".

"囍", priced at 80 favorability points.

"Only 80 million?"

Zhou Dingran was a little surprised. He remembered that this song had sparked crazy discussions in his previous life. It had received as many topics and hot searches on Weibo, Douyin and other platforms as any other popular song.

He thought about it carefully and felt vaguely enlightened.

"This song, just listening to the lyrics and music, may not give people much emotion, but if you add matching dance, it may be a different matter."

"Also, 80 is not low. "Big City, Little Love" only sold 100 million, and "Same Moonlight" only sold 80."

Zhou Dingran looked at the selling price of the song "囍" and an idea flashed in his mind.

"I have master-level dance skills. I choreograph the dance according to the lyrics and music of "囍", and refer to some past life memories. Can I restore the original work?"

Zhou Dingran's eyes brightened: "Very good, the next Douyin work will be yours."
