Chapter 229 Eighteen songs together
A year, it's not long, and it's not short.
If it is long, many people will waste a year and do nothing meaningful, just like a waste of life.
If it is short, just like Ye Zhiqiu, he has made several movies in a year, which is a miracle in the film industry.
There are many directors in the circle who shoot in a pipeline and do not pay attention to details. As long as the direction is right, it doesn't matter whether the film is rough, whether the plot is good, and whether there are many flaws. As long as there are good actors, they can be guaranteed to take back the box office and make a profit.
But Ye Zhiqiu is not like this. Cheating is the most important point. But without more than six years of practical training, from the initial unfamiliarity to the current handyness, I'm afraid the shooting would not have been so fast.
In the discussion of the outside world, Liu Tianle's music record also had to be mentioned.
It's just that the end of the year is approaching, and Ye Zhiqiu has to edit and produce Infernal Affairs again, so he doesn't have much time, so he can only continue to put it off until the end of the year.
Although this is the case to the outside world, Ye Zhiqiu has already had a mature plan and plan in his heart.
Ouyang Jie made his debut as a teenager, but he was able to enter the international market in just a few years. First, he has such a talent, and second, his background strength is really terrible, so he is so lucky.
Wu Zunlong has the support of Tianyu behind his back. Although he has only taken the line of acting since his debut, there is no doubt that movies are the king. Tianyu is willing to invest in and build Wu Zunlong. From his debut to now, several films he has starred in have produced more than 200 to 300 million.
made Wu Zunlong step into the ranks of first-class actors in one fell swoop. Although his fame is not as good as Ye Zhiqiu's, his strength cannot be underestimated. Compared with Ouyang Jie, he is only high and low.
It can be seen that music is only a means and cannot be used for a long time.
Although the few musicians who can stand at the top of the world are extremely popular, they are not necessarily popular in the film industry.
There are several musicians like Jackson in the world. With the existence of hard work and entertainment library, Ye Zhiqiu has this confidence, but it is obvious that this is not what he wants. There are too many unrealities in this road.
What he wants is real strength. Only in that way can he continue to walk forward on the shoulders of the giant, instead of eventually falling down.
At present, Ye Zhiqiu is also aware of his own situation. He just goes the path of his predecessors to hone himself. When he is perfect, that is, the time for his self-creation.
However, in the song to be created for Liu Tianle, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly smiled.
Because he came up with a wonderful idea, which can not only make Rainbow International make a huge profit, but also allow Liu Tianle to further enter the European and American markets when consolidating the position of Asian fans.
His plan is to give out countless classic songs in his previous life, such as kissing goodbye, liberation, black bat squadron, etc., both Chinese and English songs.
Then two records are released at the same time. The Mandarin version focuses on the Asian market and the Xinzhou market, and the English version focuses on the European and American markets.
Of course, for Ye Zhiqiu, these two discs are sister discs. They should be released together, put on the shelves together, one to help each other, and support each other to enter the international market.
This plan can be said to be extremely crazy. First of all, on the selected song, it is either kiss goodbye, or liberation, friendship is long-lasting, or love for you in your heart. Whether it is the Chinese version or the English version, it is absolutely pleasant to the ear. As for how many people can be regarded as a classic, Ye Zhiqiu does not speculate, just let the market verify it.
With such a high-quality album and Liu Tianle's reputation in Asia, as soon as the Mandarin version is released, the album will definitely sell well. I'm afraid that tens of millions of copies a year are trivial.
As for the English version, fans who bought the Mandarin version, won't they buy the English version?
Even if you are not a fan of Liu Tianle, as long as you like a few songs in it, don't you want to listen to the English version?
The more Ye Zhiqiu thought about it, the more feasible it was. After searching on the Internet, he found that there were many songs in the Chinese and English versions, and many Mandarin songs were covered by stars in Europe and the United States, and also achieved good results.
Many English songs have also entered the Asian market, covered by many singers, and have also achieved good results.
Such a thing is so common that Ye Zhiqiu knows it even more.
Thinking of the previous two songs, Tianyi and Wangqingshui, there happened to be their English version in the entertainment library, both of which were not bad, and Ye Zhiqiu also took them out.
In the few days of rest before the New Year, Ye Zhiqiu recorded more than 50 suitable songs on the small book of songs. In the final screening, with the addition of God's will and forgetfulness, there are still 18 songs.
"Isn't it too much!" Ye Zhiqiu thought about it.
But he immediately gave up the idea. Liu Tianle is a good song. He would rather give up countless interests. Now he joins Rainbow International and directly promotes the merger of Qingyu International. His contribution can be imagined.
In signing the contract, although Liu Tianle's freedom is not restricted, Liu Tianle's records, movies, etc. are only calculated according to ordinary first-class actors, but they have reduced their own value. The purpose is to get Ye Zhiqiu's full efforts.
Liu Tianle dared to put the treasure on him. How could Ye Zhiqiu not have the courage to pick him up?
And there is a detailed description in the contract that within four years, even if Liu Tianle enters the international market, the huge profits he has made will follow the contract. That is to say, in the past four years, if Rainbow International can make Liu Tianle into an international superstar or a smooth international market in a year or even shorter time, Liu Tianle still only takes the profits from the contract, and the rest is what Rainbow International earns.
How much is the value of a person? If you put it on a second- and third-rate actor, I'm afraid it's not much. But if you put it on a first-class actor, or even a super-class actor, then its value can be imagined. Not to mention the value of international superstars, their remuneration, and the huge profits associated with them.
Liu Tianle dares to pay like this, just because he wants Ye Zhiqiu to make every effort to build himself. He has completely expressed his intention to enter the international market without giving up huge profits.
However, don't think that it's over just like this, and don't think that it's over to fool Liu Tianle for a few years. If you do this, the consequences will be great.
Ye Zhiqiu never thought of fooling Liu Tianle. With Liu Tianle's sincerity to him, he did understand it, so he also gave it sincerely.
If it hadn't been for Liu Tianle for several years, Ye Zhiqiu would not have been so smooth. I'm afraid that Rainbow International will not be established until a few years later.
So, whether it's a contract or something else, Ye Zhiqiu is very careful.
"Eighteen songs, made into a double-disc luxury version of the record, the name is Kiss Goodbye. The English name is the same..."
"With these two Chinese and English records of the same name, the first step should be to go out. As for the second step, the success of Infernal Affairs is inevitable. Even if there is no great success in the European and American markets, there are many Chinese in Europe and the United States, which should have a great impact. It seems that we need to carefully negotiate whether the Infernal Affairs and the album are synchronized..."
However, with the arrival of the New Year, this matter has been temporarily put down.
A year passed in the blink of an eye. During the year, Ye Zhiqiu and Xiao Pingting also made many phone calls. Even her mother Bai Binghe and second aunt Xia Yanran quietly went to Shuman on the pretext of traveling and lived in Shuman for several days. After returning, they kept praising Xiao Pingting.
She loved the two twin little guys to the extreme, and at the same time, she also complained about Ye Zhiqiu, so that Xiao Pingting now has nowhere to return to and hide outside.
Ye Zhiqiu was helpless and did not dare to respond. Bai Binghe, who was almost fifty years old, did not often nag. Suddenly, Ye Zhiqiu still felt warm.
From Xiao Pingting's words, Ye Zhiqiu also learned that Xiao Pingting worked under a female freelance director this year, learned a lot of experience at the grassroots level, and had a certain confidence in filming.
Ye Zhiqiu expressed strong support for this and encouraged Xiao Pingting to build a powerful film studio. As for the script, let Xiao Pingting not worry. He will fully support her and let her realize her dreams and values.
Let go of Schumann's affairs first, and Xiao Pingting's plan.
At present, several sisters have returned to their side during the Spring Festival, but the family reunion is very lively. The little guy Ye Longxin has also grown up a few years, but he is favored by everyone.
Ye Zhixin has also reached the final internship stage and is ready to apply for an internship in the Rainbow International Animation Department after returning to school. With a huge reputation, Ye Zhixin now has countless fans under the name of the youngest beautiful cartoonist. She has been called the comic princess and comic queen by countless fans, and she is full of praise.
However, because of the creation of Fengyun comics, we must strive for excellence and have extremely high requirements for painters, so the collection of Fengyun is very slow.
At the family meeting, Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to see his sister delaying a lot of things because she was too immersed, so she ordered her to hand over her painting rights to the cartoonist team under Rainbow International to deal with it.
What made Ye Rang, Ye Hyun and other elders speechless was that they said that it didn't work many times. Ye Zhiqiu gave an order, and Ye Zhixin agreed.
And Ye Zhiqiu knew it in her heart and put it down. When her sister came back for internship after the Spring Festival, she was afraid she would ask her for other comics again. Ye Zhiqiu didn't worry about this at all, but planned to give the Harry Potter series to his sister.
At the same time, it was also decided that as long as there were no comics shot into a series of films, Ye Zhixin would never be allowed to paint in the future.
This idea has been supported by everyone in the Ye family. Ye Zhixin's reputation is already very large. In the name of a comic master, there is really no need to work hard. Those things can be handed over to the comic group, and what she has to do is as Ye Zhiqiu said, to improve her own value and build her own series brand. Although the copyright is not in her hands, the impact on her is absolutely not small.
Ye Zhixin also agreed to this, and at the same time, she was also looking forward to what kind of task her brother would give her after the Spring Festival.
As for Ye Zhutang, this troublemaker who has entered the university, finally chose to study nearby in order to act. He also understood the selection and trade-offs.
In the discussion of everyone, Ye Zhutang first set several requirements. First, he could not fall in love during college, which not only divided his energy, but also had no result. Second, in order not to delay your studies, during the past four years, you can only play the heroine of the TV series at most, and you can only appear as a supporting role in the film, so as to hone your acting skills and so on.
As for Ye Mimi, this famous child star who has now entered junior high school in Qingyang City has a great reputation. Film actor, TV actor, singer. Not only that, but also a lot of advertisements have been made.
Unlike Ye Zhiqiu, because Ye Zhiqiu's name has improved too fast, almost one price a month, so even if a manufacturer comes to shoot advertisements, he finally he can't talk about it. In the end, Ye Zhiqiu refused all of them directly because he was too busy and didn't want to waste much time, and proposed that he would not endorse him before the age of 28. He advertised and blocked countless advertisers for a while.
Although some of them still don't give up, they can only flinch after a few times.
Those advertisers looked at Ye Zhiqiu's point and wanted to take advantage of it, but they didn't expect that they didn't take advantage of it. They ended up like this. In the end, they also returned Ye Zhiqiu's quiet body.
In the next few days, Yan Qingshan brought his family to Ye's house to pay a New Year call. For a while, the scene was very lively.
During the banquet, Ye Zhiqiu was embarrassed to find that Yan Qingshan blatantly praised Yan Yu several times, and also vaguely raised topics such as childhood sweethearts of the two, which made the Ye family and others who knew Yan Qingshan speechless.
But Ye's parents now know that Ye Zhiqiu is not only married, but also a father of two children, but they are very embarrassed.
In the end, I can only say that emotional freedom depends on the young people themselves, and directly blame the problem to Ye Zhiqiu.
Although Huang Zhijing is a little dissatisfied, she is also a little helpless.
Yan Qingshan had some ideas in his heart, guessing that there might be other problems in it, but as long as the Ye family did not object, he thought it was easy to do.
On the other hand, Yan Yu was like an ostrich, blushing with shame, huddled in a place where Ye Zhixin, Ye Zhutang and Ye Mimi were allowed to examine her. In the end, even Ye Longxin, a little guy, was unwilling to show weakness and came up to ask.
"Sister Yanyu, are you happy? My sister said that being the daughter-in-law of Brother Zhiqiu is the happiest..."
Suddenly, the whole audience was shocked, stunned, sprayed, coughed, but Ye Longxin was speechless one after another. This matter was really getting more and more complicated.
And Ye Zhiqiu's third uncle Ye Yu looked at Ye Zhiqiu even more gloating. You are really happy. Such a good thing should be a good idea, which made Ye Zhiqiu sigh that this elder is unkind...
