The honest male protagonist accompanies the lively and beautiful female protagonist from elementary school to college, and then the female protagonist follows the second male protagonist. Accompanied by the male protagonist, the female protagonist has a deep sadomasochistic relationship with the second male protagonist all the way, and has experienced abortion, infidelity, and domestic violence. Violent, and then the heroine goes through all kinds of difficulties and achieves success with the male lead.

The name of the movie is, If You Are Well, It Will Be Sunny. Xu Chuan raised his head after reading Zhou Xiang's script outline and felt that he was not well. He chose his words and tried to be more tactful.

“Director Zhou, why don’t you change the name of the movie to Self-cultivation of a Licking Dog? Maybe the box office will be higher.” Well, he was really very polite, without a single curse word.

Wu Wei burst out laughing. She really couldn't hold it back, and then kicked him under the table. Zhou Xiang's face turned red and white.

"Okay, since I am Teacher Wang's friend, I will take this job." Xu Chuan's next words almost made Zhou Xiang, who was about to argue with him, almost get upset.

Standed up and said to two people, "Let's go to the recording studio. I happen to have a song here, and I think it's very suitable."

As the saying goes, a bad movie can make a great song out of it. Xu Chuan felt that he needed to keep this pattern. In the recording studio, Xu Chuan held an electric guitar and played and sang "Heart Is Too Soft" for them, which perfectly matched the plot.

Wang Yuanlin frowned, always feeling that this kid was cursing in his heart, but this song is very interesting, the melody is simple but catchy, it is not the popular R&B music style now, it is a bit retro, and the interlude solo is very good.

Looking at Zhou Xiang, he was the one who made the final decision anyway. Director Zhou’s eyes were red. Xu Chuan clenched the guitar in his hand and decided that as long as he made any moves, he would let him know that the instrument could kill people.

Zhou Xiang was very excited. He had listened to so many songs, but only this one reached his heart.

“Teacher Xu, please make a price.” Zhou Xiang had almost no hesitation.

Xu Chuan looked at Wang Yuanlin, how do you ask for this price? According to the market price, the license to use this kind of movie theme song ranges from tens to hundreds of thousands, which can increase or decrease based on the status of the singer, the popularity of the song, and even the budget of the movie.

The maximum investment for this crappy movie is 15 million. How could Zhou Xiang not be able to afford the millions in copyright fees?

"Director Zhou, don't worry. I don't understand this matter either. More or less is not good. I will ask a professional to contact you later and let her talk to you." I don't care how much I report this situation. It's appropriate. If you are a serious singer, now is the time for your manager to take action.

“That’s okay, that’s okay, then please hurry up and have someone contact me.” Zhou Xiang took out a business card and handed it to Xu Chuan, as if he was relieved of his worries.

Zhou Xiang's movie hasn't been finished yet, so he has to rush back to the filming location. He greeted a few people and walked out without stopping.

Xu Chuan put the guitar aside and spread his hands to Wang Yuanlin, "How about it, Lao Wang, I think it's enough to give you face."

 Teacher Wang waved his hand. He really didn’t expect that Xu Chuan actually agreed and directly came up with a song of very good quality.

 This guy's temper is not so easy to talk to, so you still have to recognize this favor.

After having a joke with Lao Wang, Xu Chuan took out his phone and called Bai Xuji. It was the right choice to let her talk about this kind of thing.

Bai Xuji agreed immediately. She was also in Shencheng and could handle the matter immediately.

Wu Wei was sitting on the side looking at him with admiration, feeling that her man was really awesome.

Xu Chuan took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Lao Wang, "There are seven songs in it, plus the previous six songs, it should be enough to make an album."

“You asked me, an old man, to do all the work again?” Wang Yuanlin stared with dissatisfaction.

“Hey, to be honest, I originally only wanted to make an EP with three songs, because I wanted to make a standard album.” Xu Chuan felt that this matter needed to be made clear.

“Why don’t you come to my company, and I’ll find you any assistant you want.” Based on the principle of using the good ones to death, Xu Chuan was ready to poach people.

 Lao Wang ignored him and inserted the USB flash drive into the computer. Six songs: Tropical Rainforest, Brave New World, Half-Tangism, Far Away, SuperStar, Persian Cat, Irreplaceable.

“The music scores and lyrics are all in it. Take a look at it first. I have arranged two of the songs myself. Can you help me see if they need to be changed?”

Wang Yuanlin opened the score and looked at it. Under normal circumstances, the producer needs to fully communicate with the songwriter and singer, otherwise the final product may be completely different from the author's idea.

“When will those three come back?” Wang Yuanlin listened to the DEMO recorded by Xu Chuan himself and felt really numb.

It's like this again. Each song can become the main hit in an album, and Xu Chuan actually puts them together. It's really extravagant. And the point is, the singing skills of those three are really not that good. Give them Singing is such a waste.

Wang Yuanlin sighed. He also knew that Xu Ziwen and the other three were just playing for fun. Of course, except for Gao Wen, he had tried not to demand too much professionalism from them. They were given too much.

However, as a professional musician, he still wants to produce an album that can't find faults in all aspects.

He looked up at Xu Chuan, his eyes full of longing. Xu Chuan dragged his chair back and said, "Say it first, you will definitely not be able to beat me."

"Haha", Lao Wang didn't take it seriously, "Let's discuss it. Let me produce the song you just sang."

Xu Chuan has nothing else to say. This person has taken the initiative to ask for overtime work. How can he refuse?

"But I have a condition, you come and sing." Wang Yuanlin's words made Xu Chuan roll his eyes and curl his lips. I don't have the time, it's so boring.

Wu Wei, who had been sitting quietly aside, her eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand to push him, "How about you sing, aren't you good at singing the songs you wrote yourself?" She shook Xu Chuan's arm and used coquettish words. Said in a soft and soft tone.

Wang Yuanlin gave the girl a thumbs up and said, "Good job, kid." ’

Xu Chuan looked at Wu Wei funny. This woman was not of this character. Even if she acted coquettishly, she would not do it in front of outsiders. He raised the corner of his mouth and whispered into the woman's ear.

Wu Wei’s face turned red instantly and said, “I’m going to kill you.” She almost jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

　　Pushing Xu Chuan away, he stood up and walked outside, "Hey, I thought you agreed." Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows, and he still wanted to seize the opportunity.

Wang Yuanlin looked at the two of them and felt that she was completely redundant. She watched Wu Wei walk out of the recording studio and said, "You have deceived another girl."

"Why do you say so? And I have never cheated." Xu Chuan believed that he had never cheated. Whether it was in the mercenary industry or the entertainment industry, he was absolutely clean.

 Lao Wang shook his head. He had lived for decades, couldn't he see what Gao Wen was thinking? Hey, young man.

"Okay, if you're too soft-hearted, I'll sing it." It doesn't matter, it's just a two-day delay, and he's almost finished arranging the song. Afterwards the two discussed some details.

On the other side, Zhou Xiang had just hung up the phone from Bai Xuji, "Old Zhou, how are you?" The person who spoke was the film's producer and a vice president of Dingsheng.

"It's Girls' Generation's agent. She demands a licensing fee of 1.5 million, plus scenes for the three girls. She requires each of them to appear for no less than 15 minutes and have lines." Zhou Xiang is a bit embarrassed. If he agrees, he will definitely need to change the script. .

The producer grabbed him excitedly and said, "What are you thinking about? Just promise. Do you know how popular Girls' Generation is right now? There are also Qisi and UC Media behind them. UC has a theater chain."

“What about the script? And they are not actors at all.”

"I'm currently filming scenes in college. Is it difficult for the screenwriter to add a male and female classmate role to them?" The producer felt that Zhou Xiang was stupid in making a movie. You have never been arranged by anyone when filming a TV series. A character, and this is totally pie-in-the-sky.

As for the acting skills, he was originally an acting student, and he acted in his true colors. Besides, a movie with this kind of theme requires an expert in acting skills. Anyway, he didn't see any acting skills in the male and female protagonists.

If we can win over UC Media, at least we don’t have to worry about film scheduling. The producer is now very worried about the quality of the finished film. He feels that Zhou Xiang is used to making TV series, and the rhythm of the movie seems a bit slow. Moreover, the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are acceptable in the TV series, but they are simply unwatchable on the big screen.

He has already felt that this movie is likely to lose money, but fortunately the investment is not large. Zhou Xiang is still very capable in the field of TV series. In order to make this movie, he signed three TV series with Dingsheng, and the company will definitely not lose money.

Now that UC has joined, it may bring about a turn for the better. If you don’t seek big profits, as long as you don’t lose money, your performance will at least look better.

"I'll go and finalize the contract with her right away. You go find the screenwriter. If it's really not feasible, we can cut off part of the second and third female characters' roles." The producer felt that Zhou Xiang could not let this matter go. If he must object, I really want to go back to the company to find the big boss.

Zhou Xiang does not necessarily object, but every director has a movie dream, which is his artistic pursuit. But he also knew the benefits of it, and he really liked that song.

The matter was settled like this, and by the time Xu Chuan found out, the contract was signed.

“Sister, have you read the script?” Xu Chuan was speechless. In his opinion, the script was completely useless. In addition, Zhou Xiang was also a TV drama director, so this movie was a sure bet.

Bai Xuji's tone was brisk, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, "Mr. Xu, I read the script, and I also think that it is very possible to rush to the street, but you have to know that we don't have many choices at the moment, and some good crews can't get in at all. , and the role I want is not the protagonist, so even if the movie fails, it won’t be the fault of Girls’ Generation.”

Xu Chuan understood what she meant. Baek Ji wanted Girls' Generation to try acting, but they wouldn't take you to a project that caught your eye unless you spent money to join the group. But for Girls' Generation now This approach is also unnecessary at this stage.

As for Zhou Xiang, a movie with a small investment and seemingly a must-win, it happened to be a project that they could participate in. Moreover, Bai Jiwen knew that Xu Ziwen would not stay in this industry for long, so her main purpose was to train Gao Wen. .
