"Given time, Wang Yueheng will definitely become a godfather-level figure in the music industry!"
Sitting in front of the screen, young viewers, choked with emotion, wiped away tears and silently sent comments.
This is a gentle and lyrical song written by Wang Yueheng.
Even Guo Dalin, who is a crosstalk performer, sings.
All of these would make those bland, sentimental love songs on the charts pale in comparison.
This demonstrates their formidable ability to write, sing, and cultivate outstanding artists.
Few people in the entire entertainment industry can do that.
...
Kyoto's Higashi Ward, Qianmen Street.
Inside the "Northeast Grand Stage" theater.
The "Happy Twist" team is rehearsing a new stage comedy here.
This is a new media company founded by comedy stage actors.
Focusing on the creation and performance of stage comedy.
At this time, they were rehearsing a new piece called "The Love Story of Young Charlotte".
The content tells the story of the 1990s.
The story of an 18-year-old high school student's life on campus, filled with laughter, anger, and swearing.
It also includes the kind of unrequited love that young boys and girls often experience.
The team members are full of confidence in this production.
Zhang Chen is one of the leaders of "Happy Twist".
There are even ideas to turn this work into a movie and bring it to the big screen.
Unfortunately, the new company was established not long ago and has limited brand recognition.
They approached several investors in succession.
Either the other party makes unreasonable investment demands.
They either look down on stage actors and choose to only accept the script and not the team members.
These conditions were unacceptable to the entire "Happy Twist" team.
So the team decided to use the revenue from stage play performances, plus loans, to raise funds to make this movie.
They barely managed to raise enough funds for the initial filming.
But the theme song for the story became a major problem.
The team, which values innovation and originality, searched through all the existing songs on the market.
They were also unable to find a satisfactory song to use as the theme song.
Even if you find the right one.
They had to give up due to the exorbitant copyright price.
This includes "Divination," a song previously created by the mysterious singer Bei Xuan, known as "The Masked Singer."
I learned that the copyright to the entire song had been sold, and even the film and television rights to the Korean version had been sold.
The Happy Twist team was extremely frustrated.
Zhang Chen, the person in charge, had also dreamed of commissioning Wang Yueheng, a talented singer, to write a song for him.
But after learning the copyright price of one of their original songs.
The cash-strapped Happy Twist team hesitated for a long time before finally giving up.
After all, the money spent on commissioning Wang Yueheng to write songs was enough to cover a third of the film's production budget.
Their newly formed team simply couldn't afford it...
"Teng, did you hear Guo Dalin's performance just now? I thought this song was pretty good!"
During a break from rehearsals.
Ma Li, one of the actors in the Happy Twist stage play, held up her phone and walked up to Chen Teng, who was drinking water, and said as if she had discovered a new continent.
She was wearing ill-fitting high heels and heavy makeup, playing a comedic female student in a stage play.
"Really? Isn't Guo Dalin Guo Gang's son? He's already debuted as a singer?"
"So, could we invite him to star in our new project, and have his dad sponsor some of the production costs...?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Teng, who was sitting on the steps in his school uniform, joked and teased while drinking water.
"They're making 'Blossoms Shanghai' right now, how could they possibly look down on our little shrimp work?"
"But I think his song 'Just Once' perfectly matches the theme of our new movie 'The Love Story of Young Charlotte'!"
"Since it's just been released, no one's probably buying the film and television rights yet. How about we try contacting them?"
"Besides, Guo Dalin is still a newcomer to the music scene, so the copyright fees definitely won't be very high!"
With heavy makeup and a comical appearance, Ma Li rattled off her thoughts in one breath.
"Really? Let me hear it."
Upon hearing that the copyright fee must not be high, Shen Teng, a core member of the team, immediately forgot his fatigue from rehearsals and took the other party's phone.
However, after only hearing two lines of lyrics...
Shen Teng, who was good at making jokes, widened his eyes in an instant.
"Smack!"
After a long while, he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Quick, quick, take this to Brother Chen! This song has potential! It definitely has potential!"
Shen Teng, who had already memorized the script, suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Oh dear, I'm so dizzy~"
Chen Teng felt dizzy after standing up too suddenly from squatting on the ground for too long.
"Teng, don't get excited."
Upon seeing this, Ma Li quickly stepped forward to support the other person.
"Alan, Xiao Ning, you two come and listen too!"
Ignoring his dizziness, Chen Teng excitedly held his phone and shouted as if he had discovered a treasure.
