China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 138 Meet Wang Banbi, torchbearer Yuanyuan!
June 6, afternoon.

Chu Hui was introduced by a friend and made an appointment with Wang Feng to meet at a high-end coffee shop in the Second Ring Road to discuss cooperation matters.

Personality aside, as one half of the Mainland music scene, Chu Hui still admires and respects Wang Feng's creative talent very much.

If there is a brother in the mainland music scene, the first generation "big brother" is Liu Huan, who dominated the mainland music scene in the 1980s and 1990s.

The second-generation "big brother" is Sun Nan, who is another mainland music singer after Liu Huan who surpasses all other mainland male singers in the same period in terms of popularity, awards and number of masterpieces.

In Chu Hui's mind, the third generation "first brother" is Wang Feng. Of course, the current Wang Feng is not qualified to be called "first brother".

But in the next ten years, as Wang Feng creates "In Spring" and "", Wang Feng's status and popularity will reach a new level, and he is definitely qualified to replace Sun Nan and become the "one of the new generation of mainland music circles". elder brother".

Although so far, Wang Feng has not reached the popularity and popularity of a first-line singer.

But in the past ten years, Wang Feng has created "Fly Higher", "Existence", "In the Rain", "Blooming Life", "Fireworks", "Brave Heart", "Orphans of a Beautiful World" and many more. Top hits.

When Chu Hui came to Wang Feng this time, he also took a fancy to the three songs "Beijing Beijing", "Goodbye Youth" and "Existence" composed and sung by him. He wanted to use these three songs for the new play "Beijing Beijing", "Goodbye Youth" and "Existence". The opening theme, ending theme and interlude of "Yanjing Love Story".

……

Because for singers, being able to sing the theme song of a TV series is a very good opportunity to promote themselves and their works.

In 1987, Liu Huan sang the opening song of the TV series "Plain Clothes Police Tea", "Young Aspirations Don't Say Sorrows", which instantly made him a popular singer well-known to audiences across the country.

When "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" became popular, "Dang", "Rain Butterfly", "There Was a Girl", "You Are the Wind and I Am the Sand" were also very popular.

At his peak, Ren Xianqi even ruined several Jin Yong and Gu Long martial arts dramas for the sake of TV drama songs.

For example, when "The Legend of White Snake" became popular, "A Thousand Years of Waiting" became popular all over the country.

In fact, when singers sing the theme songs of TV series, they usually sing them for free and do not charge any money.

But as a singer, Ren Xianqi's songs such as "Sad Pacific" and "Ren Xiaoyao", which were the theme songs for TV series, were definitely popular back then.

Although as an actor, the Yang Guo and Linghu Chong played by Ren Xianqi are shit, Chu Liuxiang is barely okay.

"As long as you don't use these three songs for commercial performances, I will definitely have no objection."

It was also after Liu Huan that many singers followed Liu Huan's example and began to sing TV series opening songs, ending songs, and interludes for free.

In recent years, the sword drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starring Hu Ge and Liu Qianqian has also become popular with songs such as "Slaying the Wolf", "Always Quiet", "June Rain", "Xiaoyao Tan" and other popular songs.

It was also from that time that Liu Huan firmly embarked on the path of singing the opening or ending songs of TV series.

The reason why Wang Feng is so generous is not because he is generous, but because this matter is good for him.

After learning Chu Hui's intention, Wang Feng was also very happy and said readily: "If you like these three songs, you can use them as you like!"

Wang Feng blurted out without thinking: "No need to calculate, I'll give it to you for free."

Liu Huan can be called the "big brother of the music industry" in the Mainland, and his ability to become a household singer has a lot to do with the classic and popular TV drama songs he sings one after another.

This is how the ending theme of the 1993 TV series "Yenjing People in New York" came about, "Millions of Questions";
The 1998 TV series "Water Margin" opening theme song "Song of a Hero";
The opening song of the 2000 TV series "Journey to the West" - "I Want to Become an Immortal".

Liu Huan, the "big brother" of our mainland music scene, officially entered the music scene because he sang the theme song "The Sun in the Heart" of the TV series "Snow City".

If a TV series becomes popular, the opening or ending theme may be played hundreds or even thousands of times on TV, making it difficult for viewers to recognize it.

Chu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Then how are the fees for these three songs calculated?"

Of course, long before Liu Huan, many well-known singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan had sung the opening and ending songs of TV series.

Even the queen Faye Wong collaborated with Liu Huan to sing the ending song of the same name in "The Swordsman".

Chu Hui was watching "Swordsman" at the time, and every time he heard Wang Fei's singing in the ending song, he felt it was so damn poignant and so damn heartbreaking.

As the new generation "big brother" in the mainland music scene, Sun Nan is known as "Little Liu Huan".

Sun Nan's feelings for Liu Huan, the big brother, are very complicated. He has a feeling of "how can he be bright when he is good"? He has always wanted to surpass him, but he has never been able to catch up.

In the early days, Sun Nan also imitated the singing style of his idol Liu Huan. Later, after being criticized by Liu Huan, he gradually developed his own style.

Over the years, Sun Nan has also followed Liu Huan's example and sang the opening and ending songs of TV series for free.

Including singing "See You or Part", the theme song of Feng Xiaogang's movie "See You or Part", Sun Nan also sang twenty or thirty movies and TV series songs.

For example, in 2000, Sun Nan sang the opening song "With a Clear Heart" for "Young Man Bao Qingtian" and also sang the ending song "As Long as I Have You" with Na Young.

In 2001, Sun Nan sang "Let Love Hibernate", the ending theme of "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" directed by Zhao Baogang.

In 2005, Sun Nan and Han Hong sang the theme song "Beautiful Myth" from the movie "Myth" starring Jackie Chan.

The song "Rescue" sung by Sun Nan is the opening song of the TV series "Are You Afraid of Loving Me?"

Interestingly, when "Deliverance" was popular all over the country, no one paid attention to the drama "Me, Me, Did You Film It".

……

All in all, like most singers, Wang Feng also hopes that his songs can be used as the opening and ending songs of movies or TV series.

This is not only conducive to promoting the song, but also conducive to increasing his own popularity and visibility. It will allow more audiences to hear the songs he has composed. Wang Feng naturally has no objection and is very much looking forward to it.

However, in his previous life, Chu Hui had also seen that Wang Feng had sued Sunrise Yang Gang over the copyright issue of the song "In Spring".

Moreover, Chu Hui felt that his drama "Yanjing Love Story" used three songs composed and sung by Wang Feng, so it must not be for nothing.

Even if Chu Hui is willing to give it a try, it is a sign of respect for Wang Feng and his creation. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chu Hui said bluntly: "No, this cannot be free, you must pay!"

"I can't afford more, but the copyright fee of 2 yuan for a song, I think it should still be paid."

"This is respect for you, the creator, and for the copyright of your songs."

"If everyone doesn't value copyright, then the creator's hard work will be despised and ignored. This is not a good phenomenon..."

Hearing Chu Hui's words, Wang Feng was also very excited and felt that Chu Hui was a decent person.

Although the copyright fee of 2 yuan for a song is not a lot, Wang Feng is very satisfied because this is the first time he has received this type of copyright fee in so many years since his debut.

Seeing that Chu Hui repeatedly insisted on paying copyright fees, Wang Feng did not refuse anymore and said readily: "Sure, since you are so determined, I will accept the copyright fees for these three songs."

Chu Hui didn't hesitate and took out the 6 yuan in cash and the copyright contract that had been drawn up in advance.

When Wang Feng saw this, he couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Hui, it seems you have been ready for a long time!"

Chu Hui smiled and replied: "That's necessary. This is the most basic respect for Brother Feng."

After briefly reading the contract, Wang Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed the contract.

In order to express his gratitude to Wang Feng, Chu Hui also treated Wang Feng to a sumptuous dinner that night.

During the meal and chat, Chu Hui and Wang Feng chatted while drinking, and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed.

When chatting with Wang Feng about the Olympic torch bearer, Chu Hui asked with great interest: "Brother Feng, you also want to be a torch bearer?"

Wang Feng smiled and replied: "Yes, didn't you sign up?"

"I think any Chinese who is ambitious would want to be a torchbearer, right?"

Chu Hui replied truthfully: "I also thought about it, but I missed it because I was busy filming."

Without waiting for Wang Feng to answer, Chu Hui then asked: "Brother Feng, is it still too late to sign up now?"

Wang Feng replied with a smile: "It's too late. It's already too late. The selection of torchbearers started in June last year and the list was finalized by December."

"I am the 208th runner in Qingdao, so next month, I will go to Qingdao to participate in the Olympic Torch Relay..."

Chu Hui was actually quite sorry that he was unable to participate in the Yanjing Olympic Games torchbearer selection, but because of filming, he had no choice but to accept missing this opportunity.

It is worth mentioning that the torch relay of the Yanjing Olympic Games is based on the theme of "Journey to Harmony" and the slogan of "igniting passion and delivering dreams".

This torch relay will pass through 21 cities on five continents (countries and regions), and pass in 31 domestic provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. It will also reach the world's highest peak - Mount Everest.

The torch relay will last for 130 days and cover a total mileage of approximately 13.7 kilometers.

The Yanjing Olympic Torch Relay will also be the torch relay with the longest relay route, the widest relay range, and the largest number of participants in the history of the Olympic Games. It will write a glorious chapter in the history of the Olympic movement.

8 pm.

Next to the East Second Ring Road, R&F City (Area E).

In a house of 180 square meters.

Although Li Xiaoran is not in Yanjing, Chu Hui has been living here recently because the environment here is good, the house is big enough, and it is comfortable to live here.

Chu Hui, who was already a little tipsy, lit a cigarette, turned on the TV in the living room, then lay on the sofa and started puffing away.

At this moment, the news that Gao Yuanyuan served as the Olympic torch bearer and was interviewed by reporters was playing on the TV.

As early as that afternoon, torchbearer Gao Yuanyuan had arrived in Nangjing and walked into the campus of Nangjing University, a famous institution of higher learning, with great interest.

In the movie "Nanjing, Nanjing", Gao Yuanyuan plays Jiang Shuyun, a teacher at Jinling Women's College during the Republic of China.

The former site of Jinling Women's College is today's Nanjing University. At the quaint former site of Jinling Women's College, Gao Yuanyuan felt the ruthlessness and vicissitudes of history.

"I am a native of Yanjing, and Nanjing is a place other than Yanjing that gives me such a strong sense of intimacy and yearning."

Gao Yuanyuan, who was participating in the Olympic torch relay in Nanjing, told reporters the above words.

There is no doubt that the movie "Nanjing, Nanjing" is a key factor in the relationship between Gao Yuanyuan and Nan Jing.

Looking at the beautiful and sunny Gao Yuanyuan on the TV, Chu Hui couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Of course, Chu Hui was not only moved by Gao Yuanyuan, but also felt like a chicken.

In Chu Hui's life, there were not many women who could make Chu Hui's heart and chickens feel excited at the same time. They could even be said to be phoenix-feathered women.

It is true that beautiful and sexy women can easily make people feel excited, but there are very few women who can make people feel excited and excited at the same time.

But this time, because Gao Yuanyuan's round hairstyle on the TV looked a bit similar to his ex-girlfriend Lulu, and even a little similar, Chu Hui couldn't help but think of his ex-girlfriend Gao Lu.

Chu Hui sometimes wonders if Gao Yuanyuan is the reason why he likes Lulu so much.

Of course, Chu Hui was sure that he was not with Lulu because she looked like Yuanyuan.

Because even without Yuanyuan, Chu Hui would still be attracted to Lulu, and he wished he could be in bed with her every day.

Without much hesitation, Chu Hui picked up the phone and dialed Gao Lu's number.

Ps. I sent an Easter egg stamp from Yuanyuan.
