Chapter 111 Do You Want to Help Jiang Qingyan So Much?
Chapter 111 Do You Want to Help Jiang Qingyan So Much?
After the two of them left, Hu Yiming smiled heartily and patted Zhang Che on the shoulder.
"I admire you a lot. You dare to say anything. He has Emperor Entertainment behind him. Aren't you afraid?"
Zhang Che shrugged, "Barefoot is not afraid of those wearing shoes. Besides, I have offended him before, so what if I offend him again?"
"You are really open-minded. Fortunately, you have Lao Xue and the Anti-Drug Association behind you. Even if they really want to deal with you, they probably won't do it openly.
Let’s sign the contract first, and then record the song. I really like this song.”
Having said that, Hu Yiming asked the assistant director to go get the contract. During this time, the two of them sat outside and drank tea.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Che also put forward his own request.
"Director Hu, um, actually I have something I would like to ask you for help with."
"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me." Hu Yiming took a sip of tea, a little surprised, but still smiled.
"Actually, I think this song would be better if two people sang it together!" Zhang Che went straight to the point.
"Oh? Two people, why?" Hu Yiming picked up the water cup and blew gently.
"Director Hu, the main thing is that the protagonists of your movie "Ex" are not male and female protagonists? If the theme song only has male protagonists, it will seem out of place, right?"
Hu Yiming nodded and said, "Well, now that you put it that way, I think it is a little bit true."
"Ex-Files" is really very different from the movies on Earth.
This movie tells the story of a hero and a heroine who experienced many twists and turns in their long-term love and eventually broke up due to poor communication.
It just so happens that Jiang Qingyan is now in a state of being hidden in Emperor Entertainment. If he can sing "Dignity" with Jiang Qingyan, with Hu Yiming's help, it will surely be easier for Jiang Qingyan to speak.
Hu Yiming thought for a moment and said, "What you said does make sense, but the emotions in this song are not something that ordinary people can sing.
Even in a duet between a man and a woman, the girl's voice cannot be purely soft. It must be soft but also strong, and she must have the courage to face the future life.
Besides, the movie is about to be released, and I can’t think of a suitable female singer right now.”
"I recommend Jiang Qingyan to you." Zhang Che said directly.
"Huh? Jiang Qingyan? She can't do it!"
Hu Yiming refused without a second thought, "Her reputation online is too bad. I have been preparing for this movie for six years, and I absolutely cannot let her ruin it!"
"Director Hu, the things on the Internet are all rumors made up by Emperor Entertainment to make her surrender, and she is very capable...
“No matter how strong you are, it won’t work!”
Hu Yiming frowned, "Zhang Che, I've been in this industry for so long, and it's hard to tell the real from the fake in this entertainment industry. If you want to stay in this industry for a long time, you have to learn to be a bystander.
Jiang Qingyan has so much negative information about her, and if I ask her to sing, it will definitely cause controversy online.
And the movie is about to be released, and I don’t want the movie I have spent many years creating to become a shattered dream in the end.”
Zhang Che didn't say anything, but handed the phone to Hu Yiming.
"Director Hu, don't be impatient, listen to this song first."
Hu Yiming was already unhappy, but due to the cooperative relationship, he still took the phone.
Soon, Jiang Qingyan's singing voice came over.
"Finally found an excuse while I was drunk."
"Expressing all my feelings..."
Hu Yiming's heart suddenly trembled. He calmed down and chose to continue listening.
"I'm jealous of your love, it's so powerful."
"Like a diva whose popularity never fades..."
After listening to the whole song, Hu Yiming took a deep breath.
"Your ability is indeed good, and your singing skills also meet my requirements, soft yet tough, but Zhang Che, I hope you can understand me too.
I have already sent this film to the National Film and Television Bureau for review. At this critical juncture, I really don’t dare to gamble on anything.”
"besides."
Zhang Che took the phone and turned to another page, "Director Hu, I actually wrote a promotional song for your next movie. Would you like to listen to it?"
"Ah? Next movie, are you still available to write the theme song for my next movie?"
Hu Yiming was stunned when he heard this. He took the phone and saw that the name of the song was "Later".
"The title of this song actually echoes the content of the next movie of 'Ex'."
Zhang Che smiled and said, "You can listen first."
Hu Yiming nodded, compared the lyrics and started listening.
Zhang Che didn't even have time to compose the accompaniment for this song, so he only recorded a piano a cappella version.
After the prelude ended, Zhang Che's singing voice soon came.
"Later, I finally learned how to love."
What? Even the lyrics match? This is Ex, so the next Ex 2 can be written based on the lyrics!
Hu Yiming's pupils widened.
To be honest, when he finished filming "Ex", he just felt a lot more relaxed and didn't think about making a sequel, at least not before seeing the performance of this movie.
Zhang Che's singing continued.
"Later, I finally understood through tears."
"Some people, once missed, will never come back..."
At this time, the assistant director had come over with the contract. After hearing the song, he was also stunned.
Hu Yiming and he looked at each other, both of them were shocked.
This song fits their theme even better than "Dignity"!
In just a few days, Zhang Che has studied the movie "Ex-Files" so thoroughly!
Soon, the song ends.
Zhang Che asked, "Director Hu, what do you think of this song?"
This song "Later" is sung by the queen of pop Liu Ruoying on earth. This song is also sung for those who regret love.
I met the most beautiful you when I was in the Mood for Love. This memory is profound, but in the end it is regrettable.
Love at the age of seventeen is so sincere and beautiful.
Hu Yiming was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhang Che, "Do you really want to help Jiang Qingyan?"
Zhang Che nodded, then shook his head.
"I'm not trying to help her. I just don't want the Chinese music scene to be ruined by those parasites. Nowadays, all the popular songs are just clichés. The truly talented people are being buried because they refuse to follow the unspoken rules.
Director Hu, I know Jiang Qingyan's abilities very well. I will definitely not let you down if I choose her as a singer."
"Do we have to sing a duet with her?" Hu Yiming asked again.
Zhang Che nodded without hesitation, "Yes, it has to be her, and it can only be her."
Hu Yiming was silent for a while and sighed helplessly.
“Okay, I get it. Please print out a new contract. I’ll give you one million for two songs.
Tell me in detail about Jiang Qingyan's situation, and I'll see how to take action."
Zhang Che was very surprised, "Director Hu..."
Hu Yiming smiled.
