"Golden armor warrior, energy activated!"

As a matter of fact, Wei Yang had no intention of mocking his good brother, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't hold it back.

"Hahaha……"

After Li Jiahang finished filming that scene, he walked over with a sullen face. Wei Yang laughed so hard that his legs went limp.

“Brother Hang, it’s really not my fault. I really didn’t expect the impact on the scene to be so great. The energy has been activated, hahahaha…”

Special effects dramas don’t seem to require much acting skills, but they really test the actors’ sense of conviction.

Especially for domestic special effects dramas, the target audience is relatively younger, and without a certain level of middle school spirit, they often cannot bear those shameful lines and actions.

"Wei, if you laugh again, I'll fight you."

Li Jiahang gnashed his teeth in hatred. He tried every means to stop Wei Yang from visiting the set, but in the end he failed to stop him. Thinking about his actions just now, he wished he could die on the spot.

"Ahem, I won't laugh anymore. I really won't laugh anymore."

Wei Yang forced himself to calm down. Although he couldn't stop smiling at the corners of his eyes, it was not so obvious anymore. Li Jiahang pretended not to know.

To be honest, it was the first time that someone came to visit him on the set while he was filming. Although it was a social tragedy, he was still very touched.

"I'll treat you to lunch, so please order whatever you want."

Li Jiahang patted his chest. Although the cost of "Golden Armor Warrior" was very low and the actors' pay was not high, he was the leading male role after all, and he had a lot of scenes, so he still made a small fortune. His good brother came to visit the set and was very generous.

"Don't worry about eating yet. You said earlier that there is a singer named Huang Ling in your crew. Where is she?"

Wei Yang looked around but didn't hear any response. He turned around and saw Li Jiahang looking at him with resentment on his face.

"So you're not here to see me."

"Get lost."

Wei Yang got goosebumps all over his body and kicked him: "Stop talking nonsense, find someone quickly, what is your relationship with her?"

"Not very familiar with each other. What's the matter? Aren't you having a hot relationship with that guy in Beijing? Are you thinking of cheating?"

"To be precise, up to now, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend, so there is no cheating. Besides, it's none of your business. Hurry up and find someone. We have business to attend to."

Li Jiahang went to look for someone mumblingly, and finally pulled over a girl with seductive eyes and eyebrows, who was Huang Ling that Wei Yang was looking for.

"Hello, Mr. Huang, my name is Wei Yang."

"I don't dare to be a teacher. I heard from Jiahang that you have something to ask me?"

Huang Ling spoke softly and was very direct. She went straight to the point. Wei Yang didn't say much and got down to business.

"It's like this, I'm a producer, and I have a play on hand right now, and I'm preparing to record the theme song, and I'd like to ask Teacher Huang Ling to give it a try."

So there's work to do! Huang Ling's eyes lit up, and her attitude suddenly became much more enthusiastic. This was not the place to talk, so Wei Yang suggested that they find a restaurant later and talk in detail.

Li Jiahang finally understood what was going on. He poked Wei Yang and asked softly, "What's going on?"

He knew Wei Yang and knew that he seldom got involved in things that had no benefits. This time he was busy arranging the theme song, so it was definitely not in vain.

Wei Yang smiled and said, "The Best of Us" was in need of a theme song, so I wrote two lyrics and gave them to Lao Xia. I paid him 50,000 yuan for the job."

“Can you write songs?”

Li Jiahang's eyes widened. Wei Yang felt a little guilty. "I'll write the lyrics. I also have some inspiration for the melody. I'll find someone who can compose music to put up the score later."

“…”

Li Jiahang was convinced: "You are really awesome, Lao Xia also agrees?"

"He was not satisfied with the song written by the person he found. He went out to buy good songs but they were expensive. He decided to let me have a try. He read the lyrics and was quite satisfied. What's more, my price was cheap."

As a screenwriter, producer and actor, Wei Yang left a deep impression on everyone at Blue Whale and also gained some trust from them.

If it were someone else, Xia Cong would have been kicked out directly, but since Wei Yang came forward, he was still willing to give it a try.

"What about Huang Ling?"

"I've heard her songs 'Itch' and 'Hi Song'. She sings well. And she must know some musicians. Let's get in touch with them."

The total budget is 50,000 yuan. After deducting the cost of composition, arrangement and recording, if Wei Yang earns a little himself, there won't be much left for the singer.

There is no need to think about famous singers, we can only look for newcomers or young singers like Huang Ling who are just coming up.

Although he did it to make money, Wei Yang still wanted to give "The Best of Us" the best possible configuration, so he found Huang Ling, who became famous in later generations.

Otherwise, according to normal logic, 300 singers a day would be enough for the Magic City bars.

Wei Yang doesn't need to spend money on singers like this.

Just kidding, letting you sing the theme song of a TV series is equivalent to helping you release a single, and it’s good enough if they don’t ask you for money.

Even though he found Huang Ling, Wei Yang did not offer a high price. 10,000 yuan for two songs was already his bottom line for the quality of "The Best of Us".

…

Everyone is busy. If it succeeds, it succeeds. If it fails, forget it. He doesn't have time to argue over this little money.

Huang Ling just released her first album "Itchy" in March this year. The songs "Itchy" and "Hi Song" in the album later became her representative works.

But at this time, apart from "Itchy" which became popular on the Internet in a small circle, "Hi Song" became popular because of "The Voice of China".

Therefore, Huang Ling is still in a rather awkward situation nowadays. Her songs are somewhat popular, but she herself is not famous, otherwise she would not have played the supporting villain role in the special effects drama.

10,000 yuan to record two songs is not a high offer, but then again, if the TV series can be broadcast, it is also an opportunity.

Huang Ling hesitated for a moment: "Can I see the lyrics?"

Wei Yang nodded, took out two pages of paper from his bag, folded them in half, leaving only the top half exposed, and held them up with his hand to show Huang Ling.

It is an occupational hazard for screenwriters that if the money and goods are not paid, outsiders will never be able to see the complete manuscript...

The two songs are called "The Best of Us" and "Burning Over", which are actually the theme songs of the original drama.

These two songs are not particularly outstanding, but they are also very good. They can be considered excellent works on youth campus themes and have a certain influence. The most important thing is that they fit the plot.

Wei Yang memorized some lyrics, copied them down along with some of his own original creations, and when he saw Huang Ling reading them seriously, he even hummed two melodies.

"I'm just guessing. I'm not familiar with this area. You professionals are needed to check it out."

Wei Yang said this very modestly. He doesn't know how to compose music, but it's not uncommon for him to write his own songs, though usually just for his own entertainment.

Many small recording studios often "release songs" for others, and it's a similar situation. Even if you can't write the lyrics or music well, they will still complete them for you.

Huang Ling initially thought that she had met a whimsical sucker and thought it would be nice to make some extra money. However, after reading the lyrics and listening to the melody, she retracted her judgment and felt that Wei Yang was still quite capable.

"You really have never studied music?"

Wei Yang looked innocent: "Does taking music classes in high school count?"

Huang Ling choked, then looked at Wei Yang with a look of pity: "If you study music, with your talent and face, you might be the next Chinese pop king."

"I don't have a penchant for daydreaming."

Wei Yang is not very interested in being a singer. He is more concerned about whether Huang Ling can accept the price and whether she can compose a song for him.

"The price is a bit low, but your song is good, so I'll take the job. As for composing the music, if you trust me, I'll find someone to do it and give you the finished product."

Is it popular to wrap a baby now?

Li Jiahang, who was watching nearby, couldn't help but complain, but Wei Yang was very interested: "How much?"

Huang Ling calculated it himself and made two gestures: "45,000."

Wei Yang shook his head like a rattle: "It's too expensive, the budget is not enough."

"40,000, guaranteed quality and quantity, I also paid a favor."

"No, no, our leader will never agree to this price. The most I can give is 30,000, and I have to guarantee the quality and quantity."

"Don't worry about the quality. We'll record it after we listen to the demo. But the price is too low. It should be at least 35,000."

"…32,000, but we have to sign a contract. If there are any quality issues, they must be corrected, otherwise the balance will be deducted."

After a heated argument, Huang Ling was no match for Wei Yang, the experienced man, and his bottom line kept being lowered. In the end, Wei Yang was offered two songs for 32,000 yuan, with a deposit of 10,000 yuan.

Huang Ling couldn't say that he was losing money at this price, but he also made little profit, and he would probably have to rely on favors.

The reason why she gritted her teeth and accepted the decision was that she saw the prospects of these two songs and hoped that they could bring in some other benefits.

When Wei Yang was a screenwriter, he hated it most when Party A made repeated revisions and deducted the final payment. But when he became Party A, he exploited Party B ruthlessly, lowering the price and raising conditions.

Huang Ling was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and barely ate her meal. She was so angry that she was full...

After Huang Ling left, Wei Yang called Xia Cong: "Hello, President Xia, the theme song has been finalized. Yes, we should be able to see the finished product in half a month. The budget is over 60,000. No need, no need. Hi, is this all for our company?..."

Li Jiahang was dumbfounded when he saw this: "Are you going to ask Lao Xia for another ten thousand?"

"We agreed on an all-inclusive price, how can you raise it at the last minute? What if the news gets out, what kind of person will I be?"

"So what are you doing?"

"Saying a high budget means we're not making any money, and people will feel comforted when they hear that. Even if I let the cat out of the bag, they won't be angry because I didn't ask them for a penny more."

Wei Yang explained: "Old Xia is a suspicious person, so we need to say some nice words to comfort him. If it were Sun Wei or Director Zheng, we wouldn't play it that way."

Li Jiahang knew that Wei Yang was good at socializing, and he also wanted to learn a thing or two, so he humbly asked for advice.

"What if it's the two of them?"

"Sun Wei is simple. I can just give him a red envelope later. As for Director Zheng..."

Wei Yang recalled Mr. Zheng's demeanor and said firmly, "Let's find a place to drink and sing K first, and then we can talk about business. If the budget is less than 100,000, it will be considered that I didn't give him enough to drink."
