Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 563 564 [became a typical model] (addition for the book friend Qijie Weiwei!)

  The news that the new singer Xiang Nan gave up the opportunity to make quick money and chose to go to school for further studies was reported by the media, and was quickly set up by the relevant departments as a model and focused on publicity.

  The reason for this is mainly because in the 1990s, the domestic performance market was really chaotic. Artists, no matter how big or small they are, are all proud of making money.

   This also raises a series of questions. For example, the song and dance troupe of the state-run unit lost a large number of personnel, and all went to go to acupuncture points, which affected the normal performance;

  The phenomenon of tax evasion by artists is serious, causing significant losses in national tax revenue. Walking performances are mostly cash transactions, private transactions, and it is difficult to collect taxes. According to incomplete statistics, the amount of tax evasion in the performance market is as high as nearly 2 billion RMB every year.

   Therefore, relevant departments have long wanted to rectify the domestic performance market, bring order out of chaos, and restore normal order. That's why Xiang Nanshu is regarded as a typical example.

"People's Daily", "Guangming Daily", "China Youth Daily", "Wen Wei Po" and many other official media reported extensively on the entertainment section, praising Xiang Nan's wise move and being responsible for himself and his fans .

  The praise from the official media has brought Xiang Nan's popularity, image, and status to a new level, and he has become a new generation benchmark in the entertainment industry.

  …

  In mid-March, Xiang Nan's first album, a total of twelve songs were recorded.

  In order to better publicize and win sales, Song Bing plans to invest another 50,000 RMB to help him shoot a MV, which will be broadcast on TV in the future.

   This was a very common propaganda technique at the time, and Xiang Nan naturally would not refuse it.

  However, in the 1990s, the MVs in the mainland were mostly crude. Like the MVs of love songs, they shoot some lingering shots of the male and female protagonists; the MVs of rock songs mostly shoot the shots of the singers' bohemian... very routine.

  Xiang Nan naturally didn't want to be so hasty about his first MV.

  So he thought of a MV script and handed it over to Song Bing.

  This MV has a complete story about a person who bid farewell to his hometown and lover when he was young, and traveled far away to pursue his dreams. After many years, he returned to his hometown exhausted and weathered, only to find that everything was changed.

   "Yuan Hua, I didn't expect you to have an idea." Song Bing said with a smile after reading the script.

  This MV is short and concise, with far-reaching meaning, but it is more interesting than those old-fashioned MVs.

   "Brother Song, this script is based on my personal experience." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I am this young man who came to Yanjing for my dream. I hope that after many years, I will not return to my hometown with nothing."

   "Don't worry, it won't happen." Song Bing said with a smile, "As long as you work hard, you will surely make your way."

  …

  Song Bing then accepted Xiang Nan's proposal, and then began to choose a director for the MV.

  After several screenings, Huo Jianqi was finally selected.

  Xiang Nan has never heard of this name, but Song Bing said that he graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Beijing Film Academy and has worked in art design for many years, and his standard is quite good.

   As for the heroine of the MV, Song Bing left it to Xiang Nan to choose.

   For the MV of love songs, the hero and heroine need to have a sense of CP. The heroine chosen by others may not suit Xiang Nan's taste. He doesn't like it, and if he doesn't call at that time, he won't feel it when the MV is filmed, so it's Xiang Nan's choice.

  Xiang Nan nodded, and then took a large stack of model resumes to screen.

  Yanjing has so many art academies and performance groups, plus hundreds of thousands of North Drifters, it has formed a rich artist resource. For any crew, as long as they talk about recruiting, similar resumes can collect several sacks.

   I have to say that there are really many beautiful girls in the entertainment industry.

  Combined with artistic photos, they are somewhat retouched, so that girls with six points of beauty can achieve seven or eight points. It seems that everyone is really Wang Haoxian, everyone is Li Jiaxin... pick and choose, so that Xiang Nan is dazzled.

   Seeing that there was really no way to pick the best one, Xiang Nan simply went the other way and picked the most inconspicuous one.

   "This girl looks too ordinary." Song Bing glanced at it, curled her lips and said, "Yuan Hua, do you want to choose another one?"

  The photos of the other girls are all very beautiful and textured. And the photo of this girl is very ordinary, probably taken with a point-and-shoot camera. It made her appear quite ordinary and inconspicuous among the beauties.

"No need." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "The photos of other girls look like they were taken in a big studio, and the artistic photos taken by famous artists must have been beautified. This shows that they are not confident enough in their beauty .Otherwise, there is no need to spend so much trouble.

   But this girl took pictures with an ordinary camera, and dared to paste them on her resume. Obviously confident in her own beauty. In my opinion, this is the real beauty. "

  Song Bing smiled, Xiang Nan's words made some sense.

   Afterwards, he called the girl named Zhang Jing.

  …

  That afternoon, Zhang Jing came to Mai Miao Records.

  Xiang Nan was startled when he saw it.

  He knew this girl, and she was Zhang Jingchu, a mainland actress who had become a smash hit with such films as "Peacock", "Disciple", "The Witness", and "Wu Shuang".

  When he looked at the photos before, he felt a bit kind.

  Seeing the real person now, he couldn't help but suddenly realized.

   "So it's her." Xiang Nan thought, "Zhang Jingchu, it should be her stage name."

  Song Bing was also very satisfied after seeing Zhang Jing.

  This girl is not particularly beautiful, not the kind of glamorous one that makes people lose their minds just by looking at her. But it looks very comfortable, very attractive, with a demure and refined temperament.

   "That's right, Yuan Hua, you really have vision." He whispered to Xiang Nan.

  Xiang Nan smiled.

  Zhang Jingchu is very beautiful in person. At the beginning of her debut, she was known as Xiao Zhang Ziyi. Moreover, his acting skills are quite good, and he has been nominated for many film awards such as the Golden Image Award, Golden Horse Award, Golden Rooster Award, and Hundred Flowers Award.

   It is really a lucky thing to cooperate with her in the MV.

"Hi, Ms. Zhang, I invite you to come here, just to ask you to shoot the MV." Song Bing briefly introduced, "The MV was shot for the title song of Yuan Hua's first album, "Once Upon a Time". The male lead is Yuan Hua, you play his girlfriend. Have you heard of him?"

"Of course. He is the hottest singer in the mainland." Zhang Jing nodded and said, "I like to listen to his "Meet Nine Eight" and "Your Answer" very much, and I am honored to cooperate with him. "

  After Xiang Nan participated in the Spring Festival Gala and became popular, the video of his participation in the Haiyan Cup singing competition was borrowed by major TV stations to broadcast.

  Although doing so violates copyright, but in the 1990s, no one cared about it at all. And by doing so, the song "Your Answer" quickly became popular, and it also made Xiang Nan's popularity even higher.

   "There will be intimate scenes such as holding hands and hugging in the MV, I wonder if you would mind?" Song Bing said again.

   "No problem, I don't mind. I'm an actor, no matter how big the scale is, I understand as long as the plot requires it." Zhang Jing waved her hand.

   "That's good." Song Bing nodded, "Then you meet Yuan Hua first, let's have a chat, and cultivate a tacit understanding."

"good."
