Entertaining Children

   Chapter 848 Film and Television Songs

After the recording of "Running Man" is over, Xiao Yao has no other pre-arranged publicity work for the time being. After that, he has about ten days of free time, and then he will go to the movie theaters of several cities for roadshows after the movie is released.

  It’s very hard to run a road show. There are several theaters in each city every day, and it is often so busy that there is no time to eat. Ye Jiaying specially arranged Xiao Yao's rest time for these ten days, so that Xiao Yao could recharge his energy and make some physical and psychological preparations for the hard roadshow for the next period of time.

  For Xiao Yao, the psychological preparations for roadshows have already been made, but as for the physical preparations, it doesn't take ten days at all. The free time for ten days is quite long. Xiao Yao, who had nothing to do except go to school, remembered Azi again.

  Hong Wei’s Haiyin Entertainment is a comprehensive entertainment company, but strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a formal record company. Azi signed a contract with Haiyin Entertainment, and also signed a contract with a record company, becoming a signed singer.

After releasing a single in a row, participating in all nine Livehouse tours of Xiao Yao, and releasing two subsequent choral songs, Azi’s popularity has grown significantly in the past two months. Her Weibo The number of fans has exceeded five million.

Azi’s four songs have been in the top ten on the three major music sites. The two solo songs in the single have been in the top 30 for two months, and the two chorus songs have also been in the top ten. Months. With current trends, it shouldn’t be a problem for these four songs to stay in the top 100 for three months.

In fact, Xiao Yao is now basically helping Azi complete the bet with his father, but since sending Azi to the Spring Festival Gala as one of his tasks before, Xiao Yao also wants to help Azi as much as possible. Reached, making her father even more speechless.

  It is now November. The director of this year’s Spring Festival Gala has been determined, and CCTV has also started the selection and review of the Spring Festival Gala’s programs, but as far as Xiao Yao knows, Azi has not received a program review notice from the Spring Festival Gala Director’s Group.

  The director team of the Spring Festival Gala every year will conduct several rounds of audits on selected programs, and the preparation period will last for several months. During this period, primaries continue to be eliminated, and new programs will be selected. Although Azi has not yet received the notice from the Spring Festival Gala program group, this does not mean that there is no hope for Azi this year. There are still three months to go before the Spring Festival, and there is still a long time before the Spring Festival Gala program group determines the final list of programs, Azi still has a chance.

  From September to now, there are no big-name singers in the Chinese music scene who have released albums or singles. In the last three months, apart from Xiao Yao, the most topical singer in the Chinese music scene is Azi, who has released four consecutive songs in the last two months. Two solo singles and two chorus singles, both are popular songs that have aroused heated discussions on the Internet. Regarding the speed of the popularity, there is no new singer in the Chinese music scene that can compare with Azi.

  If you are going to a New Year's Eve party on a certain satellite TV, I believe that Azi now has a good chance, but the director group of CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala is mostly considered from the performance of the whole year. Judging from the whole year, Azi is not so conspicuous.

  In the first half of this year, Azi went to live broadcasts in the live broadcast rooms of other live broadcast platforms everywhere, and it also caused some discussions, but that kind of discussion was limited to the discussions of the water friends in the live broadcast circle. In the first half of the year, no work came out, just creating a topic in the live broadcast circle, and this influence still appears to be a little worse.

  The relationship between Xiao Yao and CCTV should be considered good. However, he was invited to the Spring Festival Gala three times, and he only participated once, but declined twice, and he did not plan to participate this year. It is definitely not good to recommend Azi to the director team of the Spring Festival Gala. He wants Azi to have the opportunity to go to the Spring Festival Gala, so he can only work hard from Azi's side to attract the attention of the director group of the Spring Festival Gala himself.

  In fact, Xiao Yao’s way of helping Azi is also very simple, either by helping her write songs, or by helping her promote. Now that Azi's four songs have passed the initial peak of publicity, if Xiao Yao wants to continue to help Azi, he can only continue to help her write songs. With the new song, it is possible to make a new round of publicity.

  Azi is already very popular now. In order for Azi to attract the attention of the director group of the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Yao felt that the regular operation might not work, and some topicality was needed for discussion by the whole people.

   Xiao Yao is not very surprised when he creates a single for the little-known rookie singer Azi, but he has never done anything to promote Azi on the radio show. During Xiao Yao's nine performances, Azi was the only guest who appeared in every show and the only guest who performed new songs with Xiao Yao. After the tour, two chorus songs composed by Xiao Yao and sung by Azi were released to the public.

Look at the things Xiao Yao has done for A Zi in the past two months. These are the treatments that even Fan Linxuan and Gong Chen in Xiao Yao’s own studio have not enjoyed. They are all very topical. This is also what A Zi has recently. One of the reasons for the explosion.

  However, these are in the past after all.

  Xiao Yao will now help Azi write songs, and everyone will no longer be surprised. In terms of publicity, I have already done singing and touring with radio stations. Even if Azi has new songs created by Xiao Yao, the conventional publicity methods are not impossible, but they must be used to attract the directors of the Spring Festival Gala. , It seems a little lack of bursting point.

  To talk about the hot spots, the best chance is undoubtedly the Eva show to be held in China next month. If Azi can perform on the Eva show, he will definitely become a hot topic among the people. But Eva is an American brand, and the big show is broadcast on American TV stations and is open to audiences all over the world. No matter how much Eva values ​​Xiao Yao, it is impossible for him to agree to let a Chinese newcomer singer with almost zero international fame as their guest performer because of his relationship.

  So, Xiao Yao turned his attention to an aspect that Azi hadn't touched yet, film and television dramas. In the Chinese entertainment industry and even the world entertainment industry, the influence of actors of the same level is basically greater than that of singers. That is to say, the audience, attention and topicality of film and television are stronger than that of music. Singers are not insulated from film and television dramas, and there is a bridge between film and television songs.

  Azi is a singer but not an actor, but if she can sing the theme song or ending song of a well-known film and television drama, she can also use the influence of the film and television drama to increase her popularity and influence.

  Xiao Yao’s work mailbox is never short of emails for song invitations. Since he disclosed the identity of XY, in addition to singers from the Chinese music scene, there have been many emails from directors and producers of various film and television dramas asking him to write the theme song and the ending song. Now that he thought of film and television songs, Xiao Yao immediately turned over the film and television song invitations in his work mailbox.

Back then Xiao Yao wrote "The Beauty" for Ye Jiaying, "The Sword Like a Dream" written for Xiao Siqi, and "Letter of Love" written for Gong Chen are all excellent film and television songs, not only the content and style of the song are very suitable for TV dramas, and they are sung. The degree of popularity is also very high, all of which have made a lot of contribution to the pre-publicity of the TV series and the ratings during the broadcast. XY's work has a very good reputation in the film and television circles.

  Before everyone didn't know who XY was, and I couldn't find it if I wanted to find it. But Xiao Yao revealed his XY identity during his participation in "Singer" last year. When everyone discovered that this mysterious musician with a good reputation was actually the "genius musician" who won a record at the "Golden Disc" award. Many producers and directors have also habitually sent invitations to Xiao Yao’s foreign work mailbox by sending film and television songs. After all, in addition to being a purely music creator, Xiao Yao is also a young star with a high topicality and popularity. Once Xiao Yao writes songs for their film and television dramas, there will be a good publicity point for the ready-made ones. .

   Therefore, even if Fang still regularly cleaned up those expired song invitation emails, there were still a lot of song invitation emails stored in his mailbox, and Xiao Yao looked a little dazzled. More importantly, Xiao Yao doesn't do any film and television drama. Others want to use his name to promote, and he also wants to use the influence of film and television dramas to promote Azi. He has to try his best to determine which of them are TV series and movies that are likely to be hit or box office hits.

When Xiao Yao buried himself in the work emails inviting him to write film and television songs, and selected film and television works suitable for Azi’s theme song or ending song, two groups of people contacted Xiao Yao and wanted to visit him. I asked him to write a song in a remote interview.

  It is not that people who wanted to find Xiao Yao to write songs before did not think about going to the door to talk in person. But Xiao Yao is also a star anyway, so he should make an appointment in advance. If they are not familiar with the situation, and the status in the circle is relatively ordinary, Fang who is familiar with Xiao Yao's character still directly helps Xiao Yao to decline. If it is an acquaintance or a heavyweight person, Fang will still tell Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao will generally push it off on the grounds of "busy studies".

Over time, few people ask for boring contact and ask for an interview. Basically, they send an email to leave hope and opportunity for cooperation, and wait for the busy "student" Xiao Yao to be interested or contact when he has a suitable work. they.

  But the two groups of people who actively contacted and came to the door this time are somewhat different. They are all film and television producers and crew directors who want to ask Xiao Yao to write the theme song or the ending song. More importantly, the people who come to contact Xiao Yao are all close to Xiao Yao and can be called acquaintances of friends.

  It was two "new friends" who came forward to contact Xiao Yao, and they both met and got acquainted with Xiao Yao when he recorded "Running Man" two days ago. One is Xiao Yao's senior sister Ren Bing, and the other is Xiao Yao's senior brother Kong Zheng.

  Several fixed MCs in "Running Man" all have the identities of actors. Among them, Lu Hang, the weakest actor, has played supporting roles in movies and actor in TV series. Cao Bin, the most powerful captain, is an excellent actor who has won the actor. Both Ren Bing and Kong Zheng graduated from the acting department of Shenxi Opera, and they are both very capable young actors. Compared to recording variety shows and reality shows, filming is their main business.

  Ren Bing first contacted Xiao Yao. Currently, a TV series in which she is the second female has finished filming and is undergoing post-production. After hearing that Xiao Yao participated in the recording of "Running Man" and got along well with Ren Bing, the producer and director of this TV series asked Ren Bing to come forward and contact Xiao Yao.

As the second female actor with a heavy weight in this drama, the TV series has good ratings and high topicality, which is good for Ren Bing himself. Therefore, it is natural for Ren Bing to meet this request made by the producer. accepted.

  Even if other identity auras are thrown away, as far as the musician is concerned, Xiao Yao is also a very special existence in the entertainment circle. He has no worries about fame, song distribution channels, or even income, so his songs are notoriously difficult to invite. Xiao Yao's evaluation among reporters in the media is hard to come by, and his personality is a bit weird. Ren Bing agreed to agree, but whether Xiao Yao would sell her face, Ren Bing actually had no idea in his heart.

  Although I get along well when recording the show, I have only known each other for a few days after all, and I have been in contact once. Speaking of friendship, how much can there be between the two? Alumni are indeed a relationship, but with Xiao Yao's background and current reputation, it is obviously not the kind of person who needs to rely on senior brothers and sisters. Among other things, Ren Bing is a young actor who has mixed well in the entertainment industry, but she hasn't acted as a star in a movie since her debut for four years. Xiao Yao's first movie is an absolute big man. Lord, how many people in the entertainment industry can compare with such resources?

  Shenzhen Opera Performance Department has dozens of people graduating every year. Among Xiao Yao's senior brothers and sisters, few have become stars. For Xiao Yao, senior brothers and sisters are actually not that special. Therefore, Ren Bing felt nervous and nervous about points when he dialed Xiao Yao's private number.

  But what Ren Bing didn't expect was that after Xiao Yao received Ren Bing's call, he happily agreed without saying a word, which also made her feel a little overjoyed.

Not long after hanging up Ren Bing's call, Xiao Yao received another call from Kong Zheng.

  The purpose of Kong Zheng and Ren Bing is the same, both on behalf of the producer and director to come forward and contact Xiao Yao to write songs for the film and television works, but there are also some differences in the two situations. Ren Bing asked Xiao Yao to write songs for TV dramas, while Kong Zheng asked Xiao Yao to write songs for movies. Moreover, Kong Zheng came out to find Xiao Yao, not the instruction of the producer or director, but his own advice to the producer and director.

  Currently, a film with Kong Zheng as the actor has finished shooting and is undergoing post-production. The preliminary plan is to strive to be released by the end of this year. Since it is a struggle, it will be released at the end of the year at the earliest. The schedule of Ye Jiaying's "127 Hours" is from mid-November to mid-December. There is no conflict between the two, so Xiao Yao also agreed very happily.

  On the phone, the two parties only expressed their willingness to cooperate and made an appointment to meet. The specific details are still to be discussed in person when they meet. Of course, this kind of cooperation can't be done simply by meeting.

  For the producer, the meeting with Xiao Yao was only a preliminary contact and understanding. Although they all value Xiao Yao's fame and reputation for his works, Xiao Yao's works are not suitable for their works. In the end, the song written by Xiao Yao is not necessary, or the final product handed over by Xiao Yao can be finalized.

  For Xiao Yao, if you want to borrow the east wind of the film and television works to continue to bring the fire to Azi, you must first make sure that the film and television works and songs can be popular. He also needs to first contact the producers and directors of these two film and television works, understand the content of the works, the main creative lineup and publicity plan, and judge their prospects.

  The TV series are based on the theme of Xianxia. The script is adapted from a hot novel on the Internet. It is a big IP TV series with fan bonuses from the original. The cast of this TV series is very strong. Ren Bing, the popular Xiaohua, plays the second female role, and the actors of the male one female one are the most famous niche players and Hua Dan in the film and television circles better than Ren Bing. From these two points of view, as long as the publicity is in place and the director does not shoot too badly, it will definitely be a well-rated hit drama.

  Kong Zheng’s movie is an urban romantic comedy. This movie is a movie with two male protagonists and two female protagonists. The two protagonists are played by Kong Zheng and another popular actor who is not as famous as Kong Zheng. The two heroines are less famous. Some newcomer actresses. However, the theme of romantic comedy is very pleasing. As long as the shooting is not bad and the publicity is in place, the prospects are very good.

  After understanding the script, the main creative lineup and their publicity plan, Xiao Yao felt that these two film and television works had the potential to become popular, and he just had more suitable songs in his heart, so he took on these two tasks.

  While taking over these two tasks, Xiao Yao also put forward his own conditions: one is that he only writes one song, as for whether to use it as the theme song or the ending song, of course it is up to them to decide. The more important one is that his songs and singers are up to him! The song was produced by him and delivered directly to the finished product, giving the common copyright of the song and the original singer. They could not use the lyrics and music to find another singer to record another version for use in film and television songs.

  For Xiao Yao's first condition, the producers of the two film and television works have no problem. They were looking for Xiao Yao to invite songs, not to find Xiao Yao's soundtrack for film and television works, and they didn't plan to let him arrange all the songs. As for the latter, they have no room for rejection. After all, Xiao Yao's works are copyrighted by Xiao Yao. The songs in the film and television dramas are absolutely for commercial use. Xiao Yao does not authorize them. Even if other singers have recorded the cover version, they can't use it.

   But even if they couldn't refuse, both groups asked about the singer Xiao Yao planned to use. After all, this was also related to their subsequent publicity plan. Xiao Yao was also very frank, and bluntly said that the TV show was a chorus song for men and women. The female singer is sure to be Azi. The male singer is uncertain for the time being, but it can be confirmed that it is a well-known first-line or second-line singer in the music industry. For that movie, it was a solo song sung by Azi.

  In fact, the producers of the two film and television works are worried about the reputation of the singer. Who knows if Xiao Yao, this wonderful work, wants to write songs for a completely unknown pure newcomer? They heard that Xiao Yao said that the singer was Azi, so they put half their hearts. After all, Azi is the fastest singer in the past few months, and his reputation must be enough. As for whether the song she sang is suitable, it depends on the finished product Xiao Yao took out. Anyway, they finally decided whether to use it or not, but they had to wait until Xiao Yao produced the song and handed it over to them for inspection before deciding.

  After discussing with the producers and directors of the two film and television works, Xiao Yao devoted most of his ten days of free time to the recording of two film and television songs.
