Chapter 65 Alone

In the past two years, Chinese music is not good. In addition to the cheating of Zhou Jielun, who can also bring some fresh things to those who like music every year, the other kings and queens make a living by relying on their past qualifications.

There is no way. Everyone in the circle knows that making music, especially newcomers making music, is almost impossible to succeed. Unless they participate in the talent show and win the support of a vote of fans, the Chinese music circle will not have a singer like Li Ronghao who debuted in a non-talented show from 2007 to 2017.

Yao Beina is so arrogant. She sang several songs from the popular TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and it is useless. If she hadn't been on "The Voice of China", who would have known who she was!

It is difficult to make music, and the public thinks it is appropriate that you don’t charge for singing.

Oh my God, even if I sing for free, but the accompaniment must be paid for money. The recording studio requires rent. Finally, all these have been alive and wanted to make a big splash. As a result, the new song was released, and there was a free version online immediately...

Damn, how do you sell the album?

So, relying solely on albums to support a musician is simply dreaming.

Zhou Jielun's album "Ye Huimei" in 2003 sold more than three million copies, but the following albums were no longer sold because his songs were not good?

"I'm very busy" has an album with the blessing of "Blue and White Porcelain". How many have it sold? 400,000 copies...

This is true for Jay Chou, let alone other musicians!

The main thing is that it can be downloaded for free online. Since it can be downloaded for free, how many are really willing to spend money to buy genuine albums?

A vicious cycle. Ten years later, there were few familiar works in the Chinese music circle, and there were no musicians who created the genre...

According to the most regular budget, the cost of producing an album ranges from 200,000 to 2 million, of course, not including MV shooting or something like that.

The MV production of domestic singers is based on the singer's status.

The more the king and queen, the higher the cost of making the MV.

The MV of the Layin song "Silent" uses ultra-high definition cameras and uses motion capture technology, which costs 2 million yuan. It has become one of the most expensive MVs in recent years.

Huayi Music Department almost cried when she received a report from Xu Hui.

Damn, six songs are worth 5 million, why don’t you grab them?

Although the superior gave an order without a limit, the 5 million yuan was still beyond expectations, so a specialist came to investigate to see if Xu Hui had spent money to do a good job.

By the way, as of July 25, the box office of the movie "Embroidered Spring Sword" which was released for 25 days officially exceeded 200 million, and Xu Hui successfully promoted to the fourth director in China to achieve this achievement.

"Red Cliff" (Part 1) is a pity. It has been released for fifteen days, and the cumulative box office has reached 180 million. In the original time and space, the box office of "Red Cliff" (Part 1) is 240 million...

The flood of reputation always has an effect, and the diversion effect of "Xuanchun Dao" is very obvious.

It is estimated that the final box office of "Red Cliff" (Part 1) is likely to be only about 250 million.

Not to mention killing "Titanic", it is difficult to surpass "Assembly"'s 260 million.

Wu Baige fell a little hard!

...

Xu Chuhe is the deputy director of the Finance Department of Huayi Music, and his task is to distribute money.

Huayi has raised many singers. Although it is not very profitable, it also represents Huayi's face. Therefore, although Huayi Music has been a bit useless, it has never been banned by the Wang brothers.

After all, their ideal is to build a large media group like Warner Bros. The film department must hurry up and the music aspect cannot be relaxed!

It’s personal that running a music company these days is equivalent to losing money and gaining publicity. Huayi is still enjoying it. I really don’t understand what they are looking for…

Every time Xu Chuhe sees these singers wanting to release an album, his eyes hurt. Even though he knows that he will lose money, he still has to bite the bullet and spend money.

Finally, the money tree at home is about to release a new song. SJ, the original album sales alone, could make a fortune and make a fortune. Such fan appeal is enough to make domestic music companies jealous.

Xu Hui's appeal ranks first among the dozen SJ people. It is conceivable that even if he releases an album, even if it is a single, he will definitely make a profit.

However, when Xu Chuhe saw the application for the 5 million budget that Huang Wen gave him, he was almost vomiting blood!

Subconsciously, he wondered whether Huang Wen wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. Huang Wen repeatedly explained Xu Hui's request at this time.

Xu Chuhe reluctantly approved this budget application, and by the way he also made a special trip to Hengdian to see how Xu Hui used the 5 million yuan.

Xu Hui led him directly to the special effects company BJ base FX. After watching a special effects section, Xu Chuhe became scheming.

First of all, he knew Huang Wen that the 5 million Xu Hui said was definitely used for serious matters;

Secondly, he is a little frustrated. Just a song, does it cost so much? Do you make movies with such a big special effect?

"Xu Hui, it will cost at least three million to complete this special effect according to your idea!"

"I know."

“…”

Xu Chuhete wanted to open Xu Hui's head and see clearly what he was thinking.

I'm crazy, I spent three million to make a song's MV!

"Base FX is very good, no better than Hualong, Tiangong Qicai!"

Xu Hui pretended not to see Xu Chuhe's frustrated expression, but instead strongly recommended base FX.

Hualong is a special effects team under China Film Academy, and Tiangong Yicai is a domestic special effects company that Huayi often cooperates with. Xu Hui did not consider it and directly chose base FX. The reason is very simple. As early as last year, he was a shareholder of base FX.

"Of course the picture effect is very good, but it's too expensive. The five-minute plot is just..."

"You get what you pay for, isn't that the special effects!"

“…”

OK, you are the director, you are right!

...

Xu Chuhe only had a rough idea and knew that Xu Hui did not spend money indiscriminately, so he let him do it.

Just as Huang Wen said, with Xu Hui's popularity, he will not lose money anyway.

Xu Hui arrived in Hengdian on the 16th. In ten days, he had already filmed the MV of two songs.

Today I am preparing to film the MV plot of "My Singer".

The heroine is still wearing makeup, while Xu Hui discusses shooting tasks with the photographer.

"You will follow Liu Sisi later, pay attention to pushing the close-up view..."

"Also, I'll make the light softer..."

The specific plot is very simple, which is the three-stage structure of the two people from knowing each other to breaking up.

"I think it's best to use black and white tones..."

"Black and white? I think about it..."

The photographer gave his own opinions, Xu Hui thought about it briefly and nodded in agreement.

"I'll go see our heroine, why haven't it been better yet..."

The preparations here are already in place, but Liu Sisi is still in the nanny's car, and Xu Hui can't wait any longer and is ready to urge him.

By the way, the heroine is Liu Sisi.

I was a little excited to be alone for five days!
