Comeback [entertainment]

Not to mention Yuan Shang, even the arranger team sent by Barlow Studio was a little surprised when they heard about it. After all, it is normal for domestic filmmakers to find overseas arranger teams to buy their works, but the reverse is rare.There are too few excellent composition teams in China, and few can make a splash overseas, but according to Barlow, this is a request made by the collaborators of Party B.

The movie "Jianghu" has also made some splashes in overseas theaters because of the huge scene and exquisite costumes and exquisite composition.Hearing that Hara Kami starred in this film, Barlow went to the show together with a big director who had recently talked about cooperation, but the other party didn't bother to appreciate the "oriental beauty" on the screen, but was overwhelmed by the background music throughout the whole process. Attracted, after watching the movie, I cried and said that the background music of my new work also wanted to feel similar to the music of "Jianghu".

It was a magical film with a very large scene structure and a relatively ancient background. Although it has nothing to do with the "Oriental" in reality, the soundtrack of the film does need a similar sense of desolation and chilling, so that it can be rendered in some special shots. Magnificent power.

Since receiving the order, Barlow has spent a lot of time trying to express it every day, but his production company is not good at similar styles, and the other party was not satisfied with the works he handed over several times.

This client has a lot of research on making movies, but he is very layman in music, but he is picky as an amateur. He just said, "This is not the feeling I want", and asked him about his specific requirements, but he couldn't explain why.

I learned from the gossip that the other party has started looking for a new arrangement and production company, and being replaced on the spot is very detrimental to reputation.Barlow was devastated. If it weren't for the fact that the other party's film, from the production team to the series, was so popular before it was shot, he would have given up on it long ago. Musicians also have tempers!

Now that he finally had a relatively specific request, Barlow was afraid of him, so he simply brought Yuanshang Studio in together.

The arranger team sent to China finished the recording of Wu Xiaoyue's new single, and it was almost time to pack up and go back. Before leaving, they received this job and had to stay again.

George Lu looked at Yuanshang's manuscript for "Jiang Hu", and had to nod in admiration: "You are really amazing."

This very mysterious Chinese arranger got close to Yuanshang after he won the lawsuit in the city of the same name. When he first returned to China, he didn't even say a word, but now he often takes the initiative to exchange arrangement experience with Yuanshang.He is already at this age and has been in the music industry for many years, not to mention he is still working in a large and professional team like Barlow Music Company. It is conceivable how rich his experience is.In his previous life, Yuanshang was more like a "lonely artist" in his professional field. He had neither the opportunity nor the conditions to communicate with those masters in the same industry as him.

George Lu is different. Barlow's studio has recruited hundreds of outstanding musicians, and his team has more than ten. There have been countless running-in sessions, countless discussions, and countless exchanges of mutual experience... It can be said that his What he is good at is precisely what Yuanshang lacks the most.

Sometimes a suggestion based on his experience and intuition can give Yuanshang considerable gains, and Yuanshang's endless inspiration and unique personal style can also open up new breakthroughs for some of his rigid thinking.

The relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend, but it is only at the work level, and there are not many personal relationships.

Yuanshang watched him earnestly read his manuscript, and revised the melody according to his comments on the new manuscript. Sure enough, he felt that the original stagnation in the melody had disappeared. In his previous life, he also had the idea of ​​organizing a professional arranger team, but he suffered from poor health and had no suitable candidates, so he never realized it.

A person's strength is limited, just like the current Yuan Shang, no matter how talented he is, he can barely supply his own needs.The team is different. Just looking at the status of Barlow Production Company in the behind-the-scenes production circles of European and American music circles, no one dares to underestimate it. It is absolutely impossible for a lonely creator to do it.

Thinking of the current decline in the domestic production industry, Yuanshang shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, it would be great if you didn't go abroad. The Chinese music scene lacks experienced and capable talents like you."

George Lu just smiled when he heard this: "I immigrated when I was 25."

"Why did you go?" Yuan Shang vaguely remembered hearing him say that he was originally from Bend Island before immigrating. With his talent and ability, it would be easy to become famous in the music scene when he was young, right?" But until he reached a cooperation with Barlow, Yuan Shang had never heard of such a person as "George Lu" in the music scene.

When he finished speaking, he realized that he couldn't understand the expression on George Lu's face.

It seemed a little regretful, and a little wistful, but his eyes clearly showed resistance, expressing that he didn't want to continue this topic.

Many guesses were interrupted by a phone call. When Yuanshang left the office, George Lu looked at his back and sighed long.

When Zhong Yue got out of the elevator, she couldn't help asking her manager softly, "Is my lipstick not spent?"

The sweet and soft voice made the agent roll his eyes: "Sister Zhong, can we be normal? I'm scared to see you like this."

Zhong Yue's complexion changed, and he raised his hand and punched the manager's forehead, rolling up his sleeves in a rough voice: "Is there anyone who talks to the boss like that!?"

The agent looked joyful: "This is the boss I am familiar with!"

A female star walked in front of her, and Zhong Yue immediately returned to her reserved ladylike appearance. When the two passed by, they didn't speak, but nodded slightly. A person who has never met, you say the competition is so fierce, what can I do?"

The floor where Qin Huo is located is not accessible to everyone, but it is undoubtedly a holy place in the eyes of all unmarried actresses. There is an endless stream of visitors every day, but most of them are blocked outside the secretary's room.

Zhong Yue was no exception, and was offered a cup of coffee.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin is busy with work now. Teacher Zhong can tell me if you have any demands at work, and I will pass them on to Mr. Qin for you."

A female star who was also stopped beside her was a little unwilling, and wanted to talk to Qin Dong "face-to-face" about some problems, but she was even more unlucky, and she didn't even have coffee.

After a while, there was no result, the other party could only be embarrassed and defeated, seeing Zhong Yue who was holding a hot coffee in the rest place and looking at him, the other party probably felt ashamed, and his face was very bad when he left.

She also faintly heard her complaining to the assistants following: "What's so great about spreading a scandal with President Qin, isn't she also unable to see anyone..."

Zhong Yue was puzzled for a moment, she is quite a bold girl, she does not mind pursuing the right person when she meets a suitable partner, some interactions with Qin Huo on the day of the premiere of "Jianghu" made her feel some special signals, afterward the paparazzi The reports and the analysis of the agent also allowed this suspicion to gain a firm foothold, but she couldn't see anyone after coming several times in a row, and she couldn't figure out whether "busy" was an excuse or a legitimate reason.

Just at this moment, another girl group came up from the top floor. They were all pretty girls in their prime, full of youthfulness.

Zhong Yue asked the manager hesitantly: "Why do I feel that Director Qin doesn't seem to like me very much?"

The manager didn't take it seriously: "What's the matter? The company says that Director Qin treats everyone like this, and you're not the only one. Maybe he's really busy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened with a ding, and the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor was crisp and hurried. Zhong Yue took a closer look, and subconsciously called out: "Yuan Shang!"

Yuanshang's expression was originally serious, and he was a little surprised when he saw her, but he still went up to say hello.Zhong Yue asked him with a smile: "Is there something urgent for you to walk so fast?"

"Yes, I need to talk to Mr. Qin about some things." Yuan Shangchao saw his assistant Mu beckoning, glanced at the girls who were taken away by the secretary, and landed on Zhong Yue calmly. On the body, "Ms. Zhong is here to—?"

Zhong Yue took a sip of his coffee, but she was too embarrassed to say so, so she could only persuade him: "Mr. Qin doesn't seem to be free right now. I've been sitting here for a long time, and I'm alone..."

"Here!" But before she could finish speaking, Yuanshang suddenly raised her head and yelled towards an unknown place. Zhong Yue subconsciously raised her head to follow his gaze, and saw that the door not far away had been down for several days. The closed and motionless office door has opened a big gap, and the said Qin Dong, who is said to be "too busy to have time to meet visitors", is standing in the gap where the door opened.

Yuanshang said something hastily to Zhong Yue, and then ran away. Seeing him pass everyone unimpeded and enter the office, when the door closed, Zhong Yue also felt Qin Huo's eyes sweeping around him. , that look...

Very... sharp.

"Why can he go in..."

In the distance, the girls who had been persuaded to leave made voices of doubt when they saw this scene. Zhong Yue hesitated for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and said to the manager, "Let's go."

"Isn't Director Qin free now? Let's wait a little longer, maybe we can go in when Yuanshang comes out." The manager also tried to persuade her, "Come back next time, I don't know how long we'll have to wait..."

"I won't come next time." Seeing that the manager couldn't figure out the situation at all, and thinking of the "accurate news" that those high-level executives swore to inquire about the news before, Zhong Yue rolled his huge eyes and mocked them for being ignorant. While winking, he cursed in his heart for wasting my mother's time.

The high-quality men these days are one by one...

Why are they all gays!

No, I have to find a boy to vent out!

*******

A high-quality golden bachelor and a young unmarried beauty of the right age, Yuanshang thought of the topics that the paparazzi are keen on recently, and looked at Qin Huo after entering the room, and his eyes were a little unpredictable: "Is Zhong Yue always looking for you recently...?"

But before he could start the topic, Qin Huo was the first to get upset: "Where do you and her have so many topics, and you have to talk non-stop when you meet outside the office?"

Yuanshang originally wanted to make things difficult for him, but was immediately overwhelmed by such a sudden questioning of the teacher. Thinking about it, he felt that it was unreasonable for him to be so jealous, so he changed the subject helplessly: "I didn't say anything to her." ... Forget it, that's not the point, I heard from Sun Hanqing that "Jianghu" has a problem and you can't get through on the phone, so come and have a look."

While speaking, Qin Huo had already answered two calls with a displeased face, the frequency was astonishing, and Yuanshang instantly realized why he couldn't get in for a long time.

Qin Huo put away his mobile phone, and originally wanted to continue the topic of Yuanshang and Zhong Yue's chat, but seeing Yuanshang's serious expression, he decided to turn it into a serious matter after thinking about it.

On the sixth day of the Golden Week, when "Jianghu" was in theaters and the box office was rising steadily, a large number of movie gun version resources suddenly appeared on the Internet.I don't know where these resources came from, and they spread all over the corners that netizens can reach overnight, causing netizens to frantically watch and download, and at the same time, it also caused a serious blow to the box office of "Jianghu".

Qin Huo clicked on the several websites organized by his subordinates for him, and the title "Take a look first at the blockbuster "Jianghu"" was so unscrupulously hung on the top of the recommendation page. It only took about ten hours. website, "Jianghu" has been clicked and viewed as many as [-] times.After a brief buffer in the opening title, Yuanshang realized the seriousness of the form from the moment the dragon logo appeared.

From the clarity to the color of the picture, every detail of this video told him that the source of "Jianghu" circulated on the Internet did not come from the pirated recording of the ordinary gun version in theaters.

The source is leaked.

Yuanshang took a deep breath in the melancholy music: "Have you found the source?"

Qin Huo shook his head slowly and heavily: "There is no progress at present. It may be that the film of the cinema was stolen, or it may be that the website that bought the copyright for offline playback made a mistake."

No matter what it is, it cannot be an unintentional negligence, but the most urgent thing is——

Yuanshang paused the video, and his eyes fell on the comments and clicks that were still increasing at the bottom right of the video: "Is there no way to ask someone to delete it?"

Qin Huo saw his extremely ugly face, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and hugged him into his arms.The term gun version is no stranger to filmmakers, and after each film is released, investors and producers must go through a desperate fight with these opponents who make profits by improper means.But unlike before, this time "Jianghu" encountered a much bigger problem than before.

It is known to everyone that it was publicized overnight, and all the download sites have listed clear resources, and those small sites that do not do much work on weekdays started online broadcasting almost at the same time, where did their sources come from?

This is a premeditated targeting campaign.

Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, Four Seas only needs to rely on the resources and means of large companies to negotiate with the other party, and can always keep the situation under control.But this time the opponent is obviously well prepared. The small websites that push the most arrogant videos are almost all irregular. They are affiliated with overseas servers or cannot contact the operators of the websites at all. Under such circumstances, don’t It is said that it is a negotiation, and it is very difficult for Sihai to sue.The other party is obviously a group of stinky rascals who are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. They have filed lawsuits one after another.

The damage caused is irreparable.

"Damn—" Yuanshang was so angry that his head was about to explode, "Is Song Tian sick? He also has nearly one-third of the investment in this movie!"

Since those small websites couldn't find the person responsible, Yuanshang simply called Song Tian directly for the conversation, but he was picked up within three rings. His face became more and more gloomy.

Song Tiandao: "I'm still thinking about when you will contact me. I've been thinking about it all morning."

Yuanshang sneered: "It turns out that Song Dong also knew that this was a suicide attack? Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Song Tian's laughter on the other end of the phone suddenly rang out, and after a while, he continued in a voice that seemed to be suppressed: "Then why don't you repeat it to me?"

"What's the benefit of leaking the source of the film?" Yuanshang ignored this, and asked him in disbelief, "Song Tian, ​​I always knew you were stupid, but I never thought you would be so stupid."

"That's right, just call me by my name. I'm usually Song Dong Song Dong, so unfamiliar." Song Tiangu said to him, "Why don't we come out and have a meal together..."

"Song Tian!" Yuan Shang heard that he had no intention of negotiating at all, so he interrupted his nonsense without wasting time, and said in a low voice, "You'd better ensure that those bodyguards will never leave you. "

The voice stopped suddenly, and Song Tian was stunned for a moment, rubbing the smooth screen of the phone, and the cynical smile on his face gradually faded.

He pondered for a moment, searched in the address book for a while, found a contact information, and dialed.

After a while, the other party picked up: "Hello?"

"Boss Li." Different from the tone when he was talking to Yuanshang, his voice sounded indescribably cold at this time, "I really underestimated you all, to be able to get "Jianghu" so clear The source of the film. Have you forgotten that I, Song, also have a little share in the investor position of "Jianghu"?"

The other party laughed awkwardly: "Dong Song, why do you say such things, we have to do it..."

Song Tian sneered, and ordered neatly: "Delete it."

The other party used a long silence to squeeze out embarrassment that was so embarrassing that it was almost dripping, and couldn't even understand the words: "Why are you embarrassing me? You said you want to delete, but Chairman Feng and the others..."

"You don't have to worry about the losses on your side... When "Jianghu" goes offline, we small fish and shrimps will sort it out, and the website's income will definitely be shared with you..."

"After all, it's an extraordinary time, you should be more patient...it's all for the benefit of everyone..."

The other party talked tremblingly for a long time, and then brought up Chairman Feng of Universal Times. What he said was that he was unwilling to delete the movie "Jianghu".Song Tian squinted his eyes when he heard that, and played with his cigar-lighting spray gun with his fingertips, tapping on the table one after another: "It seems that Song's words are too weighty, please don't move everyone."

The other party repeatedly begged for mercy and apologized, Song Tian only chuckled lightly: "Don't really think how safe you are hiding these small websites and tricks, I will remind you, since you don't listen, you will make mistakes in the future, don't do it again Ask me for help."

Hanging up the phone amid the other party's urgent appeal, Song Tian threw the phone away and couldn't help but sigh.It sounds nice to talk about things like alliances, but everyone has a little girl in their hearts. Where can there be real intimacy?After the turmoil of poaching, both Universal and Heavenly King became dissatisfied with the famous city. The three giant Buddhas above fought, and the young people below saw the chaotic situation, so they all took advantage of the loopholes and turned against each other.

Seek skin with a tiger...

With a long sigh, his assistant called, telling him that a singer named Jiang Xie asked to terminate his contract, and the company still held him back from releasing an album.

The person popping up in Song Tian's mind was not because of anything else, but he heard from his assistant before that this artist had been walking around with Yuanshang Studio very frequently recently, and his manager also came to inform him that he might have been with him in private. Yuanshang Studio has a secret deal.

"Dr. Song, what should we do? Let people go?" Recently, the company has had frequent personnel changes, and every employee who is about to leave now seems very precious, let alone someone like Jiang Xie who has already recorded an album and hasn't released it yet. Once the contract is signed, the investment in that album will be rotten in his hands. Even if it is released, the cheapest one will be the new owner.

Song Tian pinched his nose and asked, "How long is his contract? How much is the liquidated damages?"

"There are still nine years, and the liquidated damages... now it is estimated to be 320 million."

"The new owner is Yuanshang Studio?"

"I'm afraid it is." The assistant said, "His manager secretly showed us the photos of him meeting with Yuanshang. The two of them communicated frequently, and Yuanshang seemed to help him write a song together."

Tsk, it's really enviable.

Thinking of Yuan Fang's unbelievable attitude towards his nose or eyes or eyes on the phone, Song Tian clicked his tongue in his heart, but then thought of the reason why Yuan Shang was so angry, and felt a little uncomfortable.After all, even if the relationship is not very close now, it is the people in their own alliance who do that kind of shit.

During the long silence, the assistant almost thought that his president was brewing such a terrible anger, and only waited for the next second when the phone was smashed and found a new one from the drawer, but he didn't expect that when Song Tian spoke again, his tone was not as good as his Imagine horror, maybe even a little... lightness?

Song Tian said: "It's cheap for him, let's sign it. Liquidated damages... give him a small change, just charge 300 million."

This...the assistant held the beeping receiver with a look of disbelief.Boss, do you believe in Buddhism?Immortal?Why didn't you even smash the phone?

And what the hell is that erasure? !

******

While packing his luggage, Jiang Xie listened to the familiar voice chattering in his ears.

In fact, it should not be called chattering, it should be called cynicism.

"Excellent, secretly looking for another job to change jobs, you think you are someone who left Mingcheng Film and Television? You offended Song Dong, I just wait to see how you die!"

The guitar must be put away, the clothes must be put away, and the sheet music and lyrics, well, the pen must not be left behind.

After dusting off the book and putting it in the suitcase, Jiang Xie finally made this important decision that he had considered for a long time. Jiang Xie's mood was soaring, and even the tattoos on his arms became more colorful.

"I've taught you so much, but I haven't learned much about your skills. You're so powerful! You don't really think you're so talented, do you? The fans' words praise you so much that you can't figure out how much you are! It's hard to record it. The album is about to become popular, and you can’t wait for a few months? How many people out there have sharpened their heads and want to go to the famous city film and television, but you are good. What's the benefit? Ah? What dream? What persistence? Do you believe those shitty original musicians on the Internet who shout slogans every day?"

Jiang Xie pulled the suitcase, picked it up and weighed it, it was so light that it seemed to have wings. This is all he gained from staying in Mingcheng Film and Television for more than a year.

Now, he is going to meet a new life.

The manager still chased after him unwillingly and scolded: "I tell you, just your bad temper, you are nothing fucking without me! The company has sent me a new artist, who is younger than you and listens better than you!" Discipline is also better at talking than you, and two resources were brought in in a wine game last night! You fucking think Yuanshang is so capable and Yuanshang's studio is so awesome, you think you can become popular when you go in--bah I tell you, go dreaming!"

With a gesture of his hand, a young man in his early twenties who was waiting outside came over with a smile, stood behind his manager and squeezed his shoulders, while slanting towards Jiang in a painful tone: "Brother Jiang, isn't it?" I said, you are really too impulsive. Among the domestic music companies, if nothing else, they only count the exposure rate. Which one can compare with the famous city? The people outside who sing bad news every day, scolding this and that are actually people with no connections. It's just jealousy, how can you believe it?"

Jiang Xie turned his head and took a deep look at them against the sun. There were differences in appearance and height, but how similar were these two people from inside to outside?

Smiling lightly, for the first time in front of them, he did not put on a rebellious posture, but said with a touch of pity: "I wish you good luck, don't follow in my footsteps."

After leaving these words, he left without looking back. There was still a faint voice of cursing behind him, but it got farther and farther away, and was finally thrown out of sight by the car.

******

In the office, Song Tian stared at the record in the address book Zhongyuan that the call time did not exceed 5 minutes, squinting his eyes and daydreaming all afternoon.

The flood of guns...

It seems that it is very difficult to solve.

But Song Tian suddenly laughed when he thought of the agitated Internet during the copyright lawsuit.

After all, the two heads of Tianwang and Universal Film and Television are still too far away, unlike him, who deeply realized the horror of the masses after suffering a loss.

Yuanshang was obviously very angry, tsk tsk tsk, such a strong person really makes people feel distressed, do you want to help?

After all, Tianwang and Universal acted very arrogantly in front of him recently, whether intentionally or unintentionally, which made him quite uncomfortable...

The author has something to say: Song Tian is not ugly, but he is crazy, so don't use common sense to deduce him...

I believe that the original is also stupid
