Chapter 197 Sing the Theme Song
Two cars arrived at the late-night snack location - a high-end KTV - one after the other.
This time is when KTV is packed.
They didn't have a reservation, but they had Xiao Ke'er, who said she was very familiar with the owner of this restaurant and was able to get a small private room with just a phone call.
As soon as the three of them were seated, the waiter came in and brought various snacks and a dozen pineapple beers. There was no other way, except for Xiao Ke'er, the other two could not drink.
Xue Yunfei opened a can of pineapple beer and took a sip. "Let me get straight to the point. Ye Zian and I have discussed this and we would like to invite you to sing the theme song for the movie."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lan subconsciously looked at Xiao Ke'er.
Xiao Keer waved her hands and smiled, "I support you singing even more than Yunfei and Director Ye. To be precise, I was the one who proposed it to Brother Yunfei in the beginning. When I wrote the lyrics for The Sound of the Wind, the image of the character in my mind was based on you. And you sang with me on the pedestrian street. I remember that you have a great voice and you have the potential to be a singer."
Liu Lan was unsure, "I only sang a few lines at that time, I don't have any experience, you are a professional singer."
"This has nothing to do with professionalism. We composers and lyricists have the right to designate who will sing the songs we write," Xue Yunfei took over the conversation. "Xiao Ke'er and I both think that you are very suitable to sing the theme song. You are a character in the movie, and your image is good. You can also cooperate with the film's post-production promotion work."
...
...
Hearing this, Liu Man was even more puzzled. "Comparatively speaking, Feng Qingyu should be more suitable. She is the heroine, can play the piano, and can sing."
Feng Qingyu has released two albums in the past two years, and the sales are pretty good.
Upon hearing Feng Qingyu's name, Xue Yunfei's face was full of disdain. "Ye Zian no longer has a good impression of Feng Qingyu. When signing the contract, Feng Qingyu's agent repeatedly assured him that her piano skills were first-rate and that there would be absolutely no problem with real-time recording of the piano scenes. But what happened? Several scenes were delayed again and again. The filming was not completed until May. Ye Zian complained to me privately that he would never deal with Feng Qingyu again in his life. Let her sing the theme song? Don't even think about it!"
"What's even funnier is that Feng Qingyu is still in the crew of 'The Sound of Wind' and her contract with Galaxy Film has not expired yet, but she secretly contacted Huaguang Media to inquire about their company's new costume film, hoping to get a role in the new film. Ye Zian is disgusted by her greedy face. She doesn't take Ye Zian seriously at all."
"The casting of The Sound of Wind is also really amazing. None of the heroines or heroes are easy to deal with. Qiao Xin is a villain who does evil things, Tang Tu is a rebellious thorn, Yang Huayue is not very smart, and Ye Zian is so angry that his head is full of swelling."
Perhaps because the place was relatively private, and Xue Yunfei trusted Liu Lan and Xiao Ke'er very much, he did not hesitate to complain about them.
Liu Man thought of Tang Tu's Weibo post and couldn't help asking, "Since Qiao Xin has been arrested, how will his scenes be filmed later?"
"Ye Zian found a body double who is similar to Qiao Xin's body shape. We mainly shoot the back and side view, and it works fine."
"Let's not talk about their messy things. Are you willing to sing the theme song?" Xue Yunfei said in a ** tone, "You can get paid!"
When Liu Man heard about the reward, her eyes lit up, "How much?"
Xiao Keer burst out laughing, "You should at least be more reserved."
"No problem. We all work for money. We don't play hypocrisy. If you like money, just say it directly." Xue Yunfei didn't mind at all. "The money is divided into two parts. One part is a one-time payment of 20,000 yuan by the crew. The other part needs to be signed with the record company. After the soundtrack is released, you will be given a commission based on the sales. I estimate that your share is about 10%, because you also have a piano ensemble with Tang Tu. The market price is generally 5% of a song."
Liu Lan thought about how difficult it was for her to get money from Qiu Jing last time. This time, she wanted to ask everything clearly to avoid a lot of trouble when collecting the money.
"When can I get the 20,000 yuan?"
"Just finish recording the song," Xue Yunfei understood Liu Man's meaning in an instant and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the 20,000 yuan was directly transferred to you by Ye Zian from the crew's funds. It has nothing to do with Xinghe Film and Television."
"make a deal!"
Since there was money to be made, Liu Lan certainly didn't hesitate.
"Let me show you the lyrics of The Sound of the Wind. It was written based on the simplified score. The melody is different from the five-line score you and Tang Tu used. Brother Yunfei also modified it."
"Do you remember what I said when I toasted you on New Year's Eve? Apart from me, Brother Yunfei, and Director Ye, you are the first person to see the lyrics."
Liu Lan certainly remembered this incident, but she didn't understand what Xiao Ke'er meant at the time. It turned out that they had already started planning this incident.
Xiao Keer took out the lyrics she had prepared long ago from her bag. This was the real reason why she and Xue Yunfei invited Liu Lan to dinner. She handed the lyrics to Liu Lan, who was a little surprised when she saw them, because Xiao Keer did not write ancient style lyrics.
"Who has seen the wind?
I haven't met you either.
But when the leaves tremble,
You know the wind is blowing.”
