Chapter 154 Crisis, but also opportunity
"Yes, this isn't just about the drama 'Mu Guiying,' but a major event for the entire company. Even if President Qiu agrees, the top management won't let 'Mu Guiying' go it alone. Don't worry about the publicity; all the company's publicity resources will be invested in this drama, with unprecedented intensity."
In addition to publicity, the company also used their connections and funds to purchase a high-quality theme song, using its beautiful melody to attract the audience's interest. Furthermore, after careful consideration, the company decided to ask Yi Ge to help sing the theme song to increase the popularity of the TV series. Yi Ge has already agreed.
A good theme song can often greatly increase the popularity of a drama, and the top star Song Yan'an is famous in himself and is a golden signboard. His participation does add an extra layer of insurance.
"We're also in negotiations for several interludes. We're aiming for the ultimate musical score. For the drama 'Mu Guiying,' the company has decided to spare no expense to ensure every aspect of it is top-notch." Ah Wei said, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry. Every department in the company is working to help 'Mu Guiying' win this battle. This battle is no longer a personal feud between individuals within the company; it concerns the honor of the entire company."
Hu Xiaoxiao's mind had already wandered when she heard the phrase "high-quality theme song." After Ah Wei finished speaking, she said with bright eyes, "I'm the leading actress, so why not let me sing the theme song? I'm also well-known, and my first song is also very marketable and newsworthy."
Such a good opportunity to sing a song, and it's the original song! With so many resources, the song will definitely become popular. Hu Xiaoxiao will never let this opportunity go.
It is harder to get a good song than a good TV series, because a song can only be sung by one person, but a TV series can be performed by many actors.
"But the company has already invited Yige, and Yige has already agreed." Ah Wei thought for a moment and said, "However, I heard about this song, but I don't know if it's true or not. It's a duet. If Yige is the male vocalist, then Sister Yu should be the female vocalist, but Sister Yu is traveling and can't make it back. If it's a duet, they should still be looking for someone to sing the female vocalist."
"What are you looking for? I'm the best candidate. Who else could be more suitable than me?" Hu Xiaoxiao didn't wait any longer. The opportunity would slip away. She drove straight to the TV station and found Lu Sheng, who was in charge of this matter.
The reason why Lu Sheng is in charge is because everyone no longer trusts President Qiu and votes to let Lu Sheng be directly responsible for this matter.
It can be said that in this matter, Mr. Qiu was directly sidelined.
Hu Xiaoxiao found Lu Sheng and without any hesitation, he got straight to the point and said that he wanted to sing the theme song.
The company is really interested in her drama right now. If she doesn't fight for her own interests now, when will she wait? If she's too late, she won't even be able to drink soup.
She not only wanted to drink the soup, but also to eat the meat.
"You want to sing?" Lu Sheng hesitated.
"Yes! It's me!" Hu Xiaoxiao walked up to Lu Sheng, looked at him seriously, and said, "I'm the leading actress. I have the biggest role in the drama 'Mu Guiying', and I'm the one who carries the show. It's only natural that I should sing the theme song. Besides, it's very common for the lead actor to sing the theme song for a TV drama."
Lu Sheng explained to Hu Xiaoxiao, "If it was any other song, I could give it to you, but this one was very hard to come by. The company invited King of Songs Zhou to help out, and it wasn't just a matter of money, it also cost a lot of favors.
This song was composed by King Zhou, who originally planned to put it aside for a few years and sing it again. It can be said that King Zhou gave the song up. I also promised King Zhou that I would not let this good song go to waste.
"Lu Sheng, you have heard me sing. My voice has its own characteristics. I have studied vocal music and have never given up practicing singing. I will never lose to professional singers. Lu Sheng heard my performance at the last anniversary celebration. It was no worse than that of professional singers." Hu Xiaoxiao saw that Lu Sheng was interested and began to play the victim.
"Lu Sheng, you saw how many twists and turns I went through filming 'Mu Guiying.' Just because I was a newcomer with no background, everyone tried to step on me and steal my resources. The most unjust person was President Qiu, who relied on his position as general manager to bully me, and now he's even going one step further, pushing me out as a scapegoat.
I work so hard, but I have been wronged so much. Which artist in the company has suffered as much as me? If it weren't for Lu Sheng's secret support, I don't know if "Mu Guiying" would have been filmed. This drama is the result of my hard work, as well as Lu Sheng's hard work. "
Seeing Lu Sheng nod in agreement, Hu Xiaoxiao then gave a proper demonstration of his abilities. "Luckily, I've always been very hardworking and dedicated to my work. That's why I was able to produce a good show to help the company weather this storm during this critical moment. Lu Sheng, I've not only contributed, but I've also worked hard. Why don't you let me try to write the theme song? Like Lu Sheng, I want to make 'Mu Guiying' a success and redeem myself. I'm absolutely confident in asking you this."
Lu Sheng admired Hu Xiaoxiao's initiative in fighting for his own interests, but he had his own considerations. He said, "I want you to try, but this song is quite difficult and requires a certain level of skill. We have already promised Ji Sheng that the play must be released within three days. Time is tight and there is no extra time for you to practice. If you are not a professional singer, it will be difficult for you to sing it well in such a short time..."
"I think three days is more than enough for me. Let's not waste any more time. Give me the song now and I'll practice it right away."
Hu Xiaoxiao's fighting spirit somewhat influenced Lu Sheng, and he agreed in his heart. "Are you sure it's okay?"
"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Even if there is a problem, she will make it okay.
Crisis is also an opportunity.
Dare to challenge crises and be good at seizing opportunities.
Lu Sheng finally agreed and asked her to practice singing first and produce a demo.
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't wait a moment and rushed to the singing practice place immediately. He met his brother Song Yan'an in the rest area outside the singing practice room.
Compared to the formal attire he wore on the night of the anniversary celebration, Song Yanan's outfit today was much more casual. He wore a white polo shirt, casual trousers, and a pair of Gi sandals.
Hu Xiaoxiao suspected that Song Yan'an was also called in for emergency while on vacation.
"Brother An." Hu Xiaoxiao went up and greeted him.
Song Yan'an sat on a chair, looking down at the music score, with a cigarette between his fingers. He was so engrossed in reading that he didn't even notice the cigarette almost burned his fingers.
Only when he heard Hu Xiaoxiao's voice did he raise his head from the music score.
After learning Hu Xiaoxiao's purpose, Song Yan'an put out the cigarette in the ashtray and handed Hu Xiaoxiao another sheet of music. "Take a look at the sheet first."
