Chapter 73 Musical Movie
The women's duathlon is over. The championship was won by a Japanese player, and China won the runner-up and third place. The third among them is 14-year-old Li Mei Ni.
The cheering group burst into cheers. For Li Meini, who participated in a major event for the first time at the age of 14, this is just the beginning. There will be endless possibilities in the future. After all, she is still young, still very young. For our little Mengyan, it was the first time she came into contact with this project, but she soon fell in love with this exciting sport. Seeing that girls younger than herself can win medals and win glory for the country, I am very envious in my heart. In the minds of Chinese people, the sense of honor of winning glory for the country is unmatched by anything else.
At the subsequent awards ceremony, although the Chinese national anthem was not played, the two red flags raised high still stimulated the audience again, and there was another noisy cheer. Li Meini also waved to the cheering phalanx of more than people. She also knew that this phalanx was her cheering group and was here for her.
Due to disciplinary issues with the national team, Li Meini was not able to come to the auditorium to meet everyone. Xia Haoyang saw that there were too many people chatting around Li Meini's mother, so he gave up the idea of saying hello and went to talk to his eldest brother and sister-in-law. After the second brother and the only familiar Sun Na said hello, he took the two little girls and left the venue. He had no intention of attending the grand celebration banquet held by the Linhai Qu family. Anyway, the eldest and second brothers would go, and that was enough. .
The entire Fat Cat Studio spent almost a whole week in Yuhang watching games and eating delicious food, before buying air tickets and returning to Yancheng.
Not two days after returning to Yancheng, several big bosses were encouraging Xia Haoyang to produce Tara's album.
"No, the first album is still selling. It's almost 700 million copies now, okay? You can't wait to make the second one? It's too anxious." Xia Haoyang felt that it was a bit too fast.
"Fat man, that's not what I said. It should be said that you strike while the iron is hot, while the market is good now. Anyway, you have songs, and production will take time. It's October soon. Work on it for a while, and release your second album before the end of the year. Half a year is just right. ." Han Xiyu said.
"If you really have songs, Fatty, and they're all ready, it's not impossible to make a second album now." Xie Shujie also agreed.
"Two albums in half a year, isn't it a bit exaggerated? It's like cutting leeks." Xia Haoyang was still hesitant.
"Actually, it's mutual achievement. This is not cutting leeks. If the quality of the work is not good and you force the album to be released, that's cutting leeks. We have confidence in your work." Even Zhao Yishen is trying to seduce Xia Haoyang.
"What did Brother Hong say?" Xia Haoyang asked.
"I also think that if we really have the inventory, we can release another album before the year." Zhou Yuanhong is satisfied with the profits earned from the sales of previous albums, and doesn't see anything wrong with creating another album while it's still hot, as long as it can maintain the quality of the work. The quality is fine. In fact, Brother Hong hasn’t said anything since he is short of money recently.
Xia Haoyang thought for a while, "Then I'll ask them themselves, if they agree to work harder, then we can make another one in the second half of the year."
When they came to the dance studio, several people were practicing dance moves under the leadership of Teacher Pei. When Xia Haoyang walked in, everyone stopped to rest.
"How are you? Do you feel more leisurely or tired recently?" Xia Haoyang asked.
"Have you got any bad ideas again? Fatty Boss." The most sensitive one was Qin Jiali.
Hearing something seemed to be announced, everyone came over.
"Your first album sold pretty well, so a few of us discussed whether we could make a second album. What do you think?"
In fact, ordinary music companies will not consult the singer's attitude on this kind of matter. It is good if the company is willing to spend money and resources to make an album for you. You need to be grateful. Like Xia Haoyang Studio, they ask the singer's attitude in everything. In fact, it is not in line with the rules of music companies.
Several people looked at each other, and the team leader Zeng Jingyi said: "We are all OK. Recently, Xiao Mengyan has been working hard. She has to catch up on high school courses. We don't have many other activities. Sister Juzi takes good care of us, so we have to make an album. That’s okay. We’re fine.”
Others also agreed.
Teacher Pei looked at Xia Haoyang, who was frowning, and said, "It seems like you don't really want to make an album. Is it because the songs are hard to prepare?"
Xia Haoyang explained: "The songs are easy to say, ready at any time, and the quality will not be bad. I just think it's too fast. This album has only been sold for 2 months, so I started working on the second album. It's too fast."
"I think it's okay. If you don't have a work, you need to prepare more. Since you have a work, what are you afraid of?" Teacher Pei also didn't quite understand Xia Haoyang's concerns.
"If you ask me what I am worried about, I really can't answer. I just feel too anxious. In fact, one album a year is already great, so there is no need to be so anxious." Xia Haoyang said.
"An album a year is very impressive. Look at Zhou Tianwang. He used to have an album a year, but now he only releases a new album every six or seven years." Teacher Pei said.
While hesitating, Xia Haoyang remembered a famous MV drama version of the divine song "Cry Cry" and "Lovey Dovey" by Tara. These two pieces of music are the first half and the second half of the same plot MV.
This story is about a bounty hunter who accidentally killed the heroine’s father, and then began to take care of the young heroine out of guilt. Ten years later, the heroine got used to the hero’s care and acted like her father. Later, She learned that her father was killed by this killer, but she remembered the ten years of care and countless protections and could not take action. Later, the heroine was injured in a conflict and had plastic surgery and was forced to leave the hero;
In the second half, the heroine, who has changed her appearance, meets the hero again at a beachside barbecue restaurant. The hero no longer works as a killer but returns to the ordinary life. However, the heroine resists and does not recognize each other. However, in the end, the heroine's friend happens. Danger, he was also in danger. After the male protagonist found out, the male protagonist did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to save the female protagonist and died in the female protagonist's car. The heroine finally understood her emotions at this time, and finally drove towards the sea with the dead hero in her arms.
The whole plot of the movie is divided into two parts. It is very well-produced, with several good songs and wonderful MVs. Xia Haoyang thinks it is more attractive than many gangster-themed movies he has seen. As a Tara fan, such an excellent work is of course a must. It was produced so that people in this time and space can also feel the shock they felt back then. Since I don’t really want to make an album, making this music movie is still very suitable.
And if this storyline is successful, Tara will have another doomsday-themed music movie that can be released after next year's album. Well, it’s beautiful to think about.
"In this way, I now have a new idea. You guys wait here. I will discuss it with Lao Xie and Brother Hong first. If possible, we will not make an album this year but make a music movie." After Xia Haoyang thought about it, I couldn't wait to discuss it with Lao Xie, Zhao Yishen and others.
After Xia Haoyang explained his idea to several big bosses and Juzi, everyone was surprised by Xia Haoyang's creativity, because the previous Huaguo MVs basically only served songs, and even if there was a plot, it was just a small show. The love comes and goes, and it will not be designed with the same care as making a movie. Even the "Seventh Chapter of the Night" by King Zhou Lun is just a three- to four-minute detective story. The entire production is still centered on the song. The plot is slightly more important than other MVs, but both in terms of time length and The production precision is only at the MV level.
What Xia Haoyang wants to make now is a micro-movie. He wants to make these two MVs according to the standard specifications of the movie. The upper and lower plots can take up more than half an hour. This is basically one third of the length of a normal movie.
But the corresponding thing is the cost. If you really need to use the production specifications of a movie to produce a MV, your expenses will be astronomical compared to a MV. And you can only sell it at the price of the song. Can such a large-scale production make money?
