Let you host the artist, how can you become a superstar

Chapter 393 0392: There is a reason why you are expensive
"Jiang Dong, this "Nirvana in Fire" announced the lineup of 10 first-tier actors plus 20 second- and third-tier actors. Is the budget of 3.5 million enough?" asked a reporter who was given the opportunity to ask questions.

"At present, it is enough. If it is not enough, we can invest more." Jiang Ge replied.

There is no need to worry about money. A lot of investors outside are waiting for opportunities. They are not afraid of not having enough, but they are afraid of not having it.

"This is the first time you have used so many powerful actors in a TV series, can you tell us how this "Langya Bang" is different from the previous TV series?" The reporter asked again.

"The first is the genre, which is a historical conspiracy drama that has never been touched before, and the second is the number of episodes, which is as long as 54 episodes." Django replied.

The answers are all official and do not involve any spoilers.

"In recent years, the number of episodes too long seems to have become an important problem for TV dramas. Modern urban dramas generally have more than 40 episodes, and fantasy costume dramas often have 6 or 70 episodes. The longer ones even break through the 100-episode mark. This will not only affect the works. It brings quality water, and it will also have an impact on the audience's interest in watching dramas, resulting in the psychological state of "seeing the length of the episodes and not having the courage to follow the dramas", do you have any worries about this?" The reporter then asked. .

"Water injection will definitely affect the overall quality of a drama, but a TV drama with a long number of episodes may not be a bad drama, as long as the quality, story, rhythm, and characters are comprehensive, and 'content comes first', even if it is hundreds or thousands of episodes long. , and will not bring a burden to the audience." Django said.

The reason why the ratings of long dramas are sluggish and the audience abandons them is, in the final analysis, a matter of money. To maximize profits, lengthening drama collections has become a key measure to attract money, such as rhythm injection, line injection, and character injection.

If a TV series has the mentality of being a high-quality product and content first before filming starts, and uses an appropriate number of episodes to complete the story, and does not use previous summary, flashback plot, irrelevant branch lines, etc. to lengthen the series, then the audience will watch it I won't complain afterwards.

Seeing that the reporter still wanted to ask, the host hurriedly controlled the scene and said, "Thank you, friend reporter, do you have any questions?"

Before the words were finished, all media reporters raised their hands one after another, even those who had asked questions also raised their hands.

Django picked one at random.

"Jiang Dong, for what purpose did you spend 6500 million to settle the lawsuit between Hu Jingtian and his former company?" the reporter asked.

"Purpose?" Django smiled and said, "It's obvious, isn't it?"

Just for Hu Jingtian to play the male number one in "Langya Bang"?
This reason is not convincing.

"Then, why Hu Jingtian? Huafeng also has actors like Xu Chenyi, Zhang Jun, Song Ge, etc., who have better looks, acting skills, and popularity." The reporter continued to ask.

Upon hearing that it was a rather tricky question, the other reporters immediately regained their spirits, obviously wanting to know.

Hu Jingtian, who was also on the stage, raised his heart. While wanting to know the reason, he was also afraid that the answer was not what he wanted to hear.

"Well..." Jiang Ge glanced at Hu Jingtian and said, "Actually, regardless of age, regardless of appearance, regardless of popularity, the key to choosing an actor is the degree of adaptation to the role. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Chen Yi is the Golden Eagle Award winner, coupled with his natural "good looks", isn't it possible to act in anything? In fact, acting skills are one thing, appearance is another, and role design is another .”

Another seamless answer, I thought I could find some material to make a fuss about.

Hu Jingtian fell into deep thought because of these words. It turned out that he really stepped on shit luck, not some personal charm.

The other Huafeng artists didn't think there was anything strange about it. They all knew that Jiang Ge always chose actors based on the role, not necessarily for his own company's artists.

Artists who are not Huafeng, from these words, can see one thing, that is, Jiang Ge's reputation for acting skills + double harvest in the market is not accidental.

The questioning session is still going on, and the rest is reserved for the actors. Hu Jingtian, Yu Qingqing, Gu Yao, Liu Ya, Guan Yansi, Su Qin, Ling Xue, etc. all have speeches. Due to the large number of people, the opening ceremony It will take a long time.

However, the article with both pictures and texts has been published in the entertainment section of major news platforms.

"I feel that 3.5 million is really not enough. I heard from a friend who is engaged in fashion design that Huafeng customizes a lot of ancient costumes, and the price of a set is several thousand."

"Not only that, but also the construction of a new scene in the East, West, North and South Sui Gardens (East and West Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui Dynasty) of Hengdian Film and Television City. I can see a base of 5 million."

"This amount of money is a trivial matter to Huafeng and Jiang Ge. What I care about is the number of episodes. Finally, it is no longer 30 episodes."

"I just hope it's not a weekly broadcast, otherwise it will be too difficult to wait. It will take three months to finish watching the 54 episodes."

"Who said it wasn't? Having said that, I was worried that using Hu Jingtian as the leading actor would affect the quality of the drama, but after hearing Jiang Ge's explanation, I am completely relieved."

"There are many talents in the film and television drama industry, but it is also a mixed bag. There are pioneers who strive for perfection, and there are shallow people who blindly pursue traffic. However, if you really want to be an evergreen tree in this industry, you can only go long with your heart and brain."

……

"Langya Bang" is a big drama, a big drama of the year, which has aroused more discussions than ever before.

At the same time, Yu Li, the head of the "League of Legends" competition, got the Chinese theme song composed by Django for this World Championship.

meeting room.

"After you listen to it, give your opinion." Yu Li eagerly wanted to know what kind of song it was, and it could be worth 2500 million.

On the other hand, Ma Zhongzheng, the music director, connected his laptop to the speakers in the meeting room deftly.

On the other side, Yu Li's assistant distributed the printed lyrics to everyone.

Soon, the music started.

The prelude is electronic music, which is very modern and fashionable.

"It's all brave
the wound on your forehead
your difference
Your mistake..."

In Xu Chenyi's singing, everyone moved their buttocks unconsciously, changing to a more comfortable position.

Yu Li's face was expressionless, and she couldn't tell whether she liked the song or not. In fact, when the first verse was sung, her mood was already slightly rippling.

"No need to hide
your old doll
your mask
your self
They say to tame every monster with the light..."

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

The lyrics they got, there is a song story in front of it, which is about [the conflict between the upper and lower civilizations, the tempering and transformation of the hero's growth], but the first lyric does not have any key to the hero, until the second lyric After coming out, I realized that the hero portrayed by this song is actually quite different from the glorious image in the minds of the public.

Perhaps because of the influence of film and television works, it is generally believed that heroes are perfect, radiant, with a strong will and extraordinary abilities that ordinary people do not have, and can punch monsters and walk in all directions. However, the fact is that, Heroes are alive, flesh and blood, people who can get hurt, make mistakes, and get scared.

"They said they were going to stitch you up
no one loves clowns
Why is it not honorable to be alone
People are only imperfect and worthy of praise
Who said that a man covered in mud is not a hero..."

As soon as this verse came out, everyone started to get goosebumps.

The lyrics go a step further, still expressing the cognitive gap between the public's perception and the real hero, thus asking, isn't loneliness, imperfection, and mud covered heroes not heroes?
The so-called glory is actually recognized by the public, and it is difficult for the lonely to be recognized. Scarred people are clowns, not heroes.

Yu Li subconsciously licked her lower lip, and began to associate the hero sung in this song with the background story of "League of Legends".

like……

It can be reflected on every hero such as Garen, Yasuo, and Akali.

Chaos, filth, disorder, madness, and imperfection, Jiang Ge uses words and musical notes, with Xu Chenyi's mid-bass, through a solid and magnetic interpretation, leads the people in the conference room step by step into reality, listening to them tell a story The solitary ambition of lowly people at the bottom.

"Love you walking alone in a dark alley
I love you without kneeling

I love you, I have persisted in despair and refused to cry

love your tattered clothes

But dare to block the gun of fate

Loving you and me so much like the gap..."

Finally, an affirmative answer is given in this paragraph. Heroes also have an unbearable side. People are not saints, and imperfect people are the kings who dare to fight against fate in the mud.

From doubt to affirmation, give an attitude, express love, and connect with yourself, so as to recognize the hero's "extraordinary in the ordinary".

Everyone lamented that this was a true portrayal of those lonely heroes, and even every ordinary person. In the process of growing up, the little people did not cry out in despair, only insisted on being tortured but still refused to bow their heads.

Unknowingly, Yu Li fell in love with this song, and the calmness on her face had already been swallowed up by excitement.

"Do you want to go?

this ragged cloak
fight?
with the humblest dream
To the whimpers and roars in the night
Who said that those who stand in the light are heroes..."

After the verse ends, it immediately enters the chorus, and the melody becomes passionate and impassioned, as if to encourage the lonely hero to fight.

I have to say that these short lyrics are full of power, and at the same time, they poked tears. Every little person had a big dream at first, but under the burden of life, their dreams always turned into distant dreams. And day after day and year after year of trivial matters wear down their efforts, and finally everyone's ordinary life almost becomes humble.

but……

All this cannot defeat every ordinary struggler, and a single spark can illuminate the darkness. As long as you have a dream, even the humblest dream, you can be your own hero.

And "Who said that the hero who stands in the light" is simply a stroke of magic. No matter you are in a dark alley or in despair, headwind or desperate situation, even if the hope is slim, you must fight hard, fight for yourself, and fight for your dreams.

It is also this sentence that makes Yu Li fall in love with this song completely. It has not only her own serious thinking about "ordinary heroes", but also her precise grasp of the temperament of many "League of Legends" characters. It is inspiring and expresses desire At the same time, it restores the path of unsung heroes who are not in the orthodox sense.

It was a while after the song ended, but everyone was still sitting in their chairs, dazed.

After a long time...

Yu Li suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said, "Come on, tell me what you think about this song."

The chief director of the opening ceremony took the lead and said: "In just over four minutes, we staged a story of a lonely hero that is full of excitement, excitement, and tears. It's a good song."

Someone went on to say: "The best thing about this song is its 'universality', it has unlimited creativity, and it can be used to describe anyone."

Another person said: "The great thing about this song is that it balances the duality of the desolate 'solitude' and the passionate 'courage' brilliantly, and it sounds soul-stirring."

After a while, only Ma Zhongzheng was left.

And he is the music director of the competition, so a few words can't be fooled.

So he picked up the lyrics paper, looked at the various annotations written on it just now, and said: "The structure of the whole song is divided into three parts, ABC, step by step, from inquiry, to affirmation, to encouragement, the power it brings to people is Exhilarating..."

"In the main song, the melody has a sense of desolation. When combined with the lyrics, there will be an incomprehensible sense of loneliness that only heroes have..."

"The chorus part, speeding up, sonorous and forceful, is an expression of attitude, and the connection with the verse is very smooth, showing the uniqueness of the lonely brave, the domineering blazing, the wildness of arrogance to the deep valley, and the sincerity of a lonely heart. Shown, there is a kind of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold" is tragic."

It is worthy of being a professional in music, and it has been analyzed from multiple angles.

After finishing speaking, Ma Zhongzheng looked at Yu Li and thought, this song should work, right?

Yes……

Even with such a good song, he wasn't sure if it would make the cut.

Yu Li finally put on a smile on her face, and said: "You all said very well, so I will definitely use this song."

Ma Zhongzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "But this price..."

Yu Li sighed: "There is a reason why you are expensive. As for the issue of funding, I will discuss it with the above."

Ma Zhongzheng said again: "Then, do we need to change the title of the song to have elements of "League of Legends"?"

Yu Li said without thinking: "There is no need to change it, only the word 'Lonely Brave' is suitable for this song."

The 2500 million is a buyout, not commercial, so they have the right to modify the title of the song, as well as the arrangement of the song, and even Django can't say anything.

but……

In her eyes, this song is the best in terms of its title, lyrics, music arrangement, and singer, not even a single word!
"Is it because the previous songs are too bad?"

Yu Li shook her head, regardless of the reason, this year's "League of Legends" World Championship will definitely be unforgettable for all players.

and also……

Django is really as powerful as the net blows.

------

"Jiang Dong, the "League of Legends" tournament party has paid for it."

A few days later, Django received a call from his secretary, Hu Xiao.

In fact, being refunded is a small probability event, and the worry is whether the fee will be delayed.

Very good, you can do it.

Since it is not long before the start of the game, the news was also announced there to warm up.
