Chapter 167 Another single
After Director Liu returned to Yancheng, the preparations for the entire crew were progressing very quickly. Director Liu had his own team. The assistant director, photographer, and crew were all in place and went to find a suitable venue according to Director Liu's requirements. , after communicating with Xia Haoyang in detail, he has been finalizing the actors recently. The first step is of course to interview the artists who submitted their resumes. After the interviews one by one, Director Liu made his choice, and in Wang Jun Chuan, the male protagonist was also interviewed by Liu. After being recruited by the director himself, he decided to star in this drama, and the price was the 1200 million that Director Liu had predicted before.
On the day the actor Wang Junchuan was confirmed, Fat Cat Studio issued an announcement: Warmly welcoming Mr. Wang Junchuan to join the cast of "So Beautiful" and play the role of the male protagonist Wu Gentai. And uploaded a photo of Wang Junzhuan, the heroine Tang Wanqi and the director.
The script of "So Beautiful" is based on the Kittens in the late 80s and early 90s. There were two outstanding singers in the independent music studio of the Bay Area music scene at that time. One of them had a natural voice, which attracted young audiences. The one he liked was Yoon Hyung-soo, and the other was Song Chang-sik, a musician who came from a well-known family and was proficient in various musical instruments. The two became each other's biggest lifelong rivals, and were then proposed by a famous producer to form a duet to debut as singers.
By chance, the producer heard the thick baritone voice of the male protagonist Wu Gentae, and felt that adding a baritone to the two trebles could soften the sharpness of the two trebles and make the music sound louder. levels, and the trio Kittens were born. Then the three of them met the goddess Min Ziying (played by Tang Wanqi), and they all fell in love with her at first sight. They were determined to stand out for her by performing the group's songs well. Then something happened, which caused the group to disband, and the three-person group turned into a double tenor group. The duo, then the male protagonist Wu Gentai and the female protagonist met in Millikin 3 years later.
In terms of music, some of the Kittens' representative works such as "Have a Happy Journey", "Green Apple Paradise", "Flying Butterflies" and "Love" will be interspersed in the film as memories of the pop music of that era, and then there are Xia Haoyang's original music "Dedicate My All to You", "Wedding Cake", "Daydream", "Loving Heart", "Collecting Shells", "Starting to Forget Now" and other new works will also appear on In the film, the six Taras will be divided into two groups. One group will form a team with the heroine to highlight Tang Wanqi's beauty, and the other group will be nymphos to complement the handsomeness of the male partner.
Director Liu Chang plans to finish filming this script in about 2 months. Throughout May and June, Fat Cat Studio has been working on the filming of this movie. In addition to one of the leading actors, Xie Shujie, several other major bosses have taken turns. During the visit, Tara didn't have many roles. It was originally just one or two scenes, but because the director was a fan of Tara, she was forcibly added to the role. As a result, she had to hang out on the set from time to time during the two months.
Several of Tara's albums have also been selling well, whether it is the second album "Su Gaofei" or the mini album "Hide and Seek in Deep Winter". In mid-June, Tang Wanqi's TV series "The Twist of Love" filmed in the first half of the year was released. Several songs sung by Tara once again set off a craze, especially the brisk and lyrical rhythm of the theme song "Know That Feeling" became all the rage. It has achieved unusually high popularity, and the spread of the song has also helped the TV series' ratings to steadily increase.
On the song competition stage, the two theme songs "Know That Feeling" and "Love Game" both won first place. Only when I played the slightly sad song "Good Man", I was defeated. It has been a long time since I won the first place. EHS and Viola Girls, who had never lost before, were both defeated and could only be ranked third. This once again proved the fact that Xia Haoyang's favorite songs are not popular with fans.
"Look, fat boss, it's all your fault. Experts ranked us first, and we were also first in album sales, but the audience gave us a huge gap. In the end, we didn't even get second place. You said to use "Good Guy" to make the list, Look, you lost, the songs you like just don’t please the fans." Qin Jiali pouted and complained to Xia Haoyang.
"It's you who didn't perform well in the live performance. Why should you blame me?" Xia Haoyang refused to take the blame and passed the blame on their own live performance.
"Hmph, we can't sing well. It's obviously because of your wrong choice of songs." Qin Jiali didn't agree with Xia Haoyang's blame-shifting.
"Okay, it's my fault. How about I treat you to a big dinner as an apology?" Xia Haoyang apologized in a low voice.
"If you can't eat, go and eat by yourself." Qin Jiali expressed her anger.
"Hey, you can't even eat the big meal? I almost believed it." Xia Haoyang smiled.
"Senior Brother Xia, we want revenge." Zeng Jingyi walked to Xia Haoyang and said firmly.
"Okay, let's come back next week and have a big dinner first to comfort you?" Xia Haoyang doesn't mind winning or losing in the game.
"No, Senior Brother Xia, please write a new song for us. We haven't sung a new song for two months. We want revenge." Zeng Jingyi said firmly again.
"Aren't you guys singing new songs that just came out in the past few weeks?" Xia Haoyang said in surprise.
"No, we completed the production of these songs in April. We didn't sing any new songs throughout May and June. We were busy filming the movie, and we only sang one song in the movie. Now we can't Appearing on the singing stage, we want revenge, and we want to use a new song to take revenge." Zeng Jingyi mentioned revenge for the third time.
"After talking for a long time, you guys want to sing a new song, right? OK, I'll go back and think about it tonight and bring it to you tomorrow, how about it?" Xia Haoyang smiled.
Since last year, Tara has released six singles. The first three of them, "Nobody", "Bo Peep Bo Peep" and "Wonder Women", are all provided for free downloads on music source websites and have not made any money. It can be said that the music movie "Cry Cry" It is currently the most successful single, with more than 900 million downloads. The ghost dance version of the single "Lovey Dovey" and "What Should I Do" also have sales records of close to million in total. Overall, they are both Profitable.
Since they want new songs, then continue to follow the blind date route and release Xiao Ming's blind date record "Just Like the Original"? Okay, let’s do it.
The next day, I heard that Xia Haoyang had prepared a new song. Juzi, Zhao Yishen, Tara and Teacher Pei who were in the company came to Xia Haoyang's office.
"So many people." Xia Haoyang smiled as he watched everyone walk in.
"I heard that you prepared another song, so I came to join in the fun and get a taste of it first." Teacher Pei said with a smile.
"Fat man, does your song MV have a plot?" Juzi said casually.
Xia Haoyang was about to show everyone the song he had in hand, but after hearing what Juzi said, he asked: "Do you want a plot? Which one do you want for the apocalyptic plot version of the MV I mentioned before?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Juzi asked: "Fat man, what do you mean? Do you mean that you have prepared more than one song, one with a plot, or is it an apocalyptic theme?"
"Okay, if you don't know this, just pretend I didn't tell you. Just look at what I have on hand." Xia Haoyang quickly made amends.
"No, as for the apocalyptic theme you mentioned, we won't read it. Let's go. Give Fatty two days, no, at most one day, to hand over the apocalyptic theme song, as well as the script, and we will watch the two songs together. "Juzi called on everyone to leave. And while they were leaving, the six little ones all looked at Xia Haoyang with ferocious eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like this? As if I have committed a serious crime." Xia Haoyang felt aggrieved.
"We'll pick up the songs at this time tomorrow, come on, Fatty, it's about the apocalypse and there's a script!" Juzi winked at Xia Haoyang, then led everyone away.
"Damn it, I can't finish it in one day. The script is too long. I can't do it with just lyrics and music." Xia Haoyang complained.
"No, just for one day. You can stay up late tonight, bye."
