NOVEL FROG Chapter 40
Shuangqing City.
Liuguang Entertainment.
Zhao Yang looked at the mailbox in disbelief.
"Thank you for your contribution. After discussion with the crew, we are sorry to reject your contribution. We look forward to working with you next time."
His song was rejected by the crew?
"How is it possible?"
Zhao Yang exclaimed.
Then, he opened Weibo and searched for the official crew of"Time Flies".
As expected, the official crew had already released the news of the movie trailer.
"《The trailer for"Time Flies" will be released at 10 o'clock tomorrow night, and the theme song of the movie"Time Flies" sung by popular singer Zhang Xiaohan will also be released along with the trailer."
Zhao Yang's expression gradually darkened.
He didn't expect that the crew actually chose the song of Star Dream Studio?
"Zhao Yang, this is bad!"
Just then, the agent Xiao Li came into the office from outside, looking panicked.
When he came behind Zhao Yang, he saw the official Weibo of the"Time Flies" crew on Zhao Yang's computer. He was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and said,"It seems that you already know"
"What's going on?" Zhao Yang didn't look back, the confidence on his face disappeared, replaced by disbelief.
"The crew said that the songs from Dream Studio are more suitable for this movie than ours.……"
"Impossible!" Zhao Yang was immediately furious, his saliva flying,"How can Zhang Xiaohan snatch the theme song from me, Zhao Yang?"
He is a second-tier singer with more than two million fans on Weibo. Although Zhang Xiaohan is very popular now because of the shady dealings, she is just a small internet celebrity, not even a singer.
In the circle, such a small internet celebrity is a role that Zhao Yang would never look at. Even if they meet in real life, the other party will call him senior.
How could he lose to such an opponent?
"You and Zhang Xiaohan have a big difference in status. If the crew is not stupid, they will definitely choose you, but they chose the song by Xing Meng. I guess the specific reason is the difference in the song."
Manager Xiao Li analyzed.
Zhao Yang is better than Zhang Xiaohan in both singing skills and status. According to common sense, the crew will definitely choose Zhao Yang.
So, they have an advantage in singers, so the problem lies in the song itself.
"But Mr. Liu He is a mid-level producer, right?"
Zhao Yang also felt that he couldn't bear the blame.
But he also felt that the one who wrote the song for him was Mr. Liu He, a producer who had produced so many best-selling songs. Zhao Yang felt that this song"I Loved You Very Much Before" had the strength to at least be in the top five of the new song list.
Of course, it would be possible to enter the top five only if those big guys didn't release songs.
Although mid-level producers are the mainstay of the Chinese music scene, they are still much worse than senior producers, or even those gold medal producers.
Senior producers can steadily take the top five of the new song list and even appear in the top ten of the hot song list to show their faces if they create a song seriously.
There are not many gold medal producers in the entire domestic entertainment industry. They have very large traffic. As long as they release a song, it is scheduled to be the first on the hot song list. Naturally, they will kill the new song list at will.
As for the best song god, that is the real ceiling of the industry. He will not release songs easily. Even the king and queen of singing have to kneel down and lick for a song of the song god.
"Is it possible that Xingmeng hired a senior producer this time?" the agent analyzed.
"How is it possible? A small studio like Xingmeng is not qualified to hire such a big shot."Zhao Yang directly denied his guess.
You know, Liuguang Entertainment only has two senior producers, and they are usually the bosses in the company. Their partners are super first-line and even singing kings and queens. How could they write songs for such a small internet celebrity?
"If this is not the case, then there is really no reason for the crew to reject us."The agent sighed.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the office.
He walked hurriedly, with an angry look on his face.
"Zhao Yang, what happened? Why did I receive a message saying that the song was rejected?"The person who came was the producer Liu He.
"I don't know." Zhao Yang spread his hands, and felt that his attitude was a bit bad. His tone softened,"I just received the news. The crew sent an email saying that they chose the song from Star Dream Studio."
In any case, Liu He is one of the few mid-level producers in the company. As a singer, he depends on these producers for his livelihood, so he naturally dare not offend them.
"Did you not record the song properly?" Liu He frowned.
""It's impossible. I spent two days recording this song. I can guarantee it's in perfect condition!" Zhao Yang said quickly.
If it was a live rap, there might be mistakes, but in the recording studio, with a sound engineer and a tuner, even a pig can sing well.
So, it couldn't be the singer's fault.
"So what you mean is that the quality of my song is not good enough?" Liu He suddenly got angry.
A song is not only about the singer but also the producer.
If there is no problem with the singer, then isn't it the problem with his song?
"There is no problem with Mr. Liu's song.……"Zhao Yang waved his hands quickly. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to say that Liu He’s songs were not good. Otherwise, the other party would refuse to write songs for him in the future. Wouldn’t that make him finished?
"What's the problem?" Liu He said with a stern face.
"This crew was blind and missed such a good song by Teacher Liu. They will regret it someday. Yes, it is because the crew has a narrow vision and poor appreciation level and cannot tell whether the song is good or bad!"
Zhao Yang brainstormed frantically and finally found a reason.
It was not his problem, nor was it Liu He's problem.
It was the crew's own blindness!
"Humph, this small crew dares to reject my song!"Liu He's expression finally eased.
He felt that this explanation made sense.
Very reasonable.
"Teacher Liu, what should we do now?"Zhao Yang asked in a low voice
"What else can I do? The song has already been recorded, so I have to release it. They think my song is not good, so let's see if it performs well on the charts!" Liu He snorted coldly.
"Teacher Liu means... should we release it as a single?" Zhao Yang's eyes flashed with surprise.
To be honest, he liked this song very much and was very optimistic about its performance. In his mind,"I Loved You Very Much Before" could at least enter the top five of the new song chart.
Originally, he thought that after this deal fell through, Liu He would take the song back, but he didn't expect that he would still choose to let him sing it and release it as a single.
"Of course." Liu He nodded.
"Thank you, Teacher Liu!" Zhao Yang quickly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Let your fan leader go to Weibo to warm up and stir up controversy, so that they can say that the crew is blind and rejected our song and chose a rubbish song sung by a small internet celebrity."Liu He sneered.
""Great, Mr. Liu!" Zhao Yang exclaimed, swallowed his saliva and continued,"In this way, we can not only take advantage of the popularity of the movie theme song, but also slap the crew in the face after crushing the rankings!"
If we crush the song of Star Dream Studio in the rankings, we can not only show our strength, but also get rid of our anger.
It is indeed a very good suggestion!
Zhao Yang immediately felt a kind of admiration for Liu He. He is worthy of being an old man!
Any suggestion is a textbook-level way to take advantage of the popularity!
"Haha, I'll go say hello to the marketing department and ask them to release the song as soon as possible."
Liu He was flattered by Zhao Yang's praise.
He was in a good mood immediately.
He patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave Zhao Yang's office.
