Chapter 177 Finished, second album
Compared to Mo Zhenglou, Xiyao played by Yang Mi is much happier.
It’s not like she hasn’t filmed costumes before, but this is her first time trying such a beautiful role.
Xiyao is a female fairy, so she looks like a fairy when dressed up.
If ten years later, the gods will all wear white mourning clothes, but this will be different. Very few characters' clothes will overlap.
Yang Mi's Xiyao hairstyle is updo, wrapped with a circle of hair accessories, a pendant between her eyebrows, and crystal patches at the corners of her eyes.
This combination of punches directly focused Yang Mi's focus on her eyes, making her appear very energetic, thereby ignoring her chin and jaw bone deficiencies.
With the blessing of clothing with bare arms, she looks cooler and more stunning.
"Xiao Zhao, please step back a little, yes, that's the angle."
"Shoot it for me."
"Squat down and take another one."
After Yang Mi put on the Xiyao look, she directed Zhao Liying to take photos of her.
I took more than thirty photos in a row.
While Yang Mi was going to touch up her makeup, Zhao Liying curled her lips and went to Qin Chuan to complain.
"Brother Chuan, Yang Mi has been asking me to use your camera to take pictures of her, and the film is much better now."
"I'm not her assistant. She calls me all the time. Is this appropriate? I've missed a lot of work."
The main reason is that the filming is not good and it still needs to be criticized.
She was not happy.
Qin Chuan laughed: "You are my assistant, not hers. Who asked you to take pictures of her? No one will blame you if you don't take pictures."
Zhao Liying was embarrassed: "I don't want to take the photo. Isn't it difficult to refuse?"
She was just a small assistant. Not to mention Yang Mi was Qin Chuan's good friend. Even if she wasn't, she wouldn't dare refuse Yang Mi's small request.
The main thing depends on Qin Chuan's attitude.
If someone came back to complain to Qin Chuan, she would be close to packing up and leaving.
"Okay, if she asks you to take pictures again, just say you have no film. If something happens, ask her to come to me."
"OK!"
After getting a positive reply from her boss, Zhao Liying felt much more relaxed.
In the evening, Yang Mi pulled up a chair and sat in front of Qin Chuan.
"Brother Chuan, you can do it. I used a few pieces of film from you, but you were so reluctant to let me take them."
“Back then, I didn’t know who was going to Nortel with a cane, but I supported him all the way.”
The corner of Qin Chuan's mouth twitched: "Who won't let you take pictures? If you want to take the pictures yourself, don't order my assistant. They still have work to do."
"It turns out it was your assistant who filed the complaint. I said she looked unhappy and was too stingy."
Yang Mi stood up and said, "I'll go find her."
Qin Chuan pulled her back: "Why are you looking for her? I ordered her to do this."
"I'll ask her to get the camera." Yang Mi said, "Come and take pictures for me."
"No." Qin Chuan shook his head.
Although Liu Sisi has been wrapping up the filming for a few days, she still has the crew and her informants to take photos of Yang Mi, so it is difficult to explain when it is spread out.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a photo shoot. Are you feeling guilty?"
"What do I have to feel guilty about?"
"That's fine then."
Yang Mi ran to the RV and came back with a camera in her hand, asking Qin Chuan to take pictures of her.
Under the sunset, Qin Chuan showed off his skills.
"Raise your hand, gently support your chin, look at me with your eyes, be gentle."
"One more group, lie down, rest your head on your hands, don't open your eyes."
I bought the camera several years ago, and Qin Chuan plays with it when he has nothing to do. He even bought two books and made a short biography using Nuo tools to experience the photographer's shooting process.
That means becoming an actor, otherwise with Qin Chuan's skills, he would be able to make a name for himself in the photography industry.
No worse than Brother Guanxi.
"Okay, let's go play while I'm waiting."
After taking the photo, Qin Chuan threw the camera to Yang Mi and went to put on makeup while waiting.
Qin Chuan didn't notice that not far away, Long Danni folded her hands on her chest and looked at him silently.
Long Danni didn't appear until he finished filming, took off his makeup, and returned to the RV.
"Sister Long, what kind of wind brings you here?"
"Xiao Zhao, make a cup of coffee and a fruit plate."
Long Danni sat down and put down her bag so that Zhao Liying wouldn't be busy. Then she said to Qin Chuan: "You are my artist after all. Isn't it normal for you to come and visit the class?"
Qin Chuan scratched his head: "Isn't it music that I signed? Are you also in charge of film and television?"
One product sells two families, his music is signed with Tianyu Media, and his actor is signed with Sugarman.
Now we are filming on the set. Long Shanni should not be here, but Cai Yinong is the one who is here.
"You still know that you signed a music contract." Long Danni said angrily: "You can count on your fingers how long it has been since you sang."
This year's New Year's Eve, Qin Chuan was unable to go to Shonan Satellite TV because of filming Shinhwa, and he also missed the Lantern Festival.
Seriously, he hasn't sung for more than a year.
As a top-tier singer in China, who has not sang for more than a year?
"It's been a while. Sorry, I've been too busy during this period, but I have never forgotten that I am a singer under Tianyu. I will sing after I finish filming this movie."
To be honest, if Long Danni hadn't come to the door, Qin Chuan would have forgotten that he had signed a contract with Tianyu Media. He was filming movies every day, one after another, and he would be a little confused.
In addition, Long Danni never urged him, so he gradually forgot about it.
"Let me ask you, do you remember the bet you made before?"
"Bet, what bet?"
Long Danni rolled her eyes. Sure enough, if she didn't come over, Qin Chuan would probably forget Tianyu and hide in a corner.
"When you signed with Tianyu, why did you tell the company to ensure that the sales of the second album will not be lower than the first one? If you can't do that, you will extend the contract period and increase the liquidated damages."
Qin Chuan remembered that this was the case.
Long Danni said: "It's been more than a year since your last album, and I'm here just to ask how you are preparing for your second album."
"It has been prepared for a long time." Qin Chuan opened his mouth and said, "I am about to finish filming here. After filming this scene, I will start preparing for the new album when I get back."
"Long Jie, please find the music producer and team, and I'll come over as soon as the production is finished."
Sword 3 started shooting in June and has been filming for more than three months now. It is expected to be completed next month.
If Long Danni doesn't come to him, Qin Chuan's next step should be to find a small island to swim and surf with Liu Sisi.
"Really or not?" Long Danni didn't believe it: "You just pretended it didn't happen before I came, and you said you were ready as soon as I came."
"Why are you lying to me? I will definitely put the songs from the new album into your hands next month."
"Okay, I believe you, but don't be in a hurry. Write slowly and don't be in a hurry. If you need anything, call me anytime."
She was a little worried that Qin Chuan would compose a few bad songs all night long to keep her busy.
With Qin Chuan's ability, he could compose a song just by going to the toilet. It was no big deal to write several songs in one night.
It's definitely different if it's just written temporarily, and if it's slowly polished.
Long Danni hopes that Qin Chuan's second album will have at least one hit song instead of an ordinary song.
After half an hour, send Long Danni away.
Back at the hotel, Qin Chuan asked Zhao Liying to bring him pen and paper, and he lay on the table and started writing songs.
Zhao Liying clicked her tongue, Qin Chuan really wrote it now.
Awesome!
However, the genius seems to be a bit stuck. He has been writing for more than ten minutes without moving a word.
"Brother Chuan, do you have no inspiration? Do you want to go for a walk to relax, or get something to eat, and then write again when you are full?"
Qin Chuan didn't look back: "There are too many songs in my head. I'm wondering which song is better." Six!
He is indeed a genius, the youngest and most popular singer in domestic entertainment.
Others rack their brains when writing songs, but Qin Chuan's difficulty is that there are too many songs to choose from.
Putting a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes and a lighter on the table, Zhao Liying silently retreated.
More than an hour later, she came in with food.
There are a few more cigarette butts in the ashtray, and the cup of tea is empty.
The paper in front of Qin Chuan was already filled with lyrics.
"Brother Chuan, have you finished writing a song so quickly? Are you tired? Let's eat something first."
"Fortunately, I'm not too tired." Qin Chuan took the plate and started eating.
The breeze blew, and the top page of paper blew open, revealing several pieces of paper below filled with lyrics.
In just over an hour, he wrote five songs.
I smoked a few cigarettes on the way, went to the toilet, and drank a cup of tea when I came back.
Zhao Liying's eyelids twitched when she saw a few poems that were still written under the paper.
Not daring to read what was written on it, she whispered: "Brother Chuan, eat slowly, I will come over and take care of it later."
"Do you need anything to drink?"
"Let's have a cup of green tea, I'll be busy for a while."
After writing the lyrics, he also composed the music.
After composing the music, you need to arrange it, and you need to use Nuo instruments to arrange the music. Then you fall asleep again and listen to the song over and over again until you find all the instruments.
This set of procedures can be completed in just a few days.
Fortunately, Long Danni doesn't want it right away. He should be able to make a song in two or three days before the filming is completed.
…
In September, Fairy Sword III was completed.
In order to urge the manuscript, Long Danni came to the door in person.
Qin Chuan handed her the lyrics he had prepared long ago.
Five songs in total.
"Five songs, isn't it a bit too little?" Long Danni frowned and said.
An album costs tens of dollars to sell, and fans will scold you if you don't have enough songs.
Generally speaking, an album of around eight songs is best.
Like Qin Chuan's last one, twelve songs, which is already seriously over the limit, and not many people do this.
This time there are five songs, but they are a bit less.
Qin Chuan was unusually calm: "Sister Long, take it back and read it first. We will talk in detail after reading it."
Long Danni left with the manuscript.
On the same day, I asked Liang Qiaobai, Asia’s top music producer, to read the draft.
Although Qin Chuan and Tianyu have a betting agreement, Tianyu actually hopes that his second album will sell better.
The redder Qinchuan is, the better it is for Tianyu.
This is also the reason why Liang Qiaobai was hired as his producer this time.
Five music scores were placed in front of Liang Qiaobai, which were "That Year in a Hurry", "If Love Has God's Will", "Slow Sound", "Fireworks Easily Cold", and "Orchid Pavilion Preface".
The first two are pop music, the third is a Jiangnan folk tune, and the last two are national style songs.
Starting from the first song, Liang Qiaobai silently read the lyrics first, then the music, and then sang along softly several times.
The first song, the second song, the third song, the fourth song, the fifth song.
Liang Qiaobai, Asia's top music producer, watched it over and over again.
"Teacher Liang, don't just look at it. What's the level of these songs?"
Long Danni asked after waiting for a long time.
Liang Qiaobai did not answer, but asked: "Are these songs really written and composed by Qin Chuan?"
"Yes." Long Danni said: "Look, the handwriting is the same, and who in the entertainment industry doesn't know that Qin Chuan is an all-rounder. What's so strange about writing lyrics and composing music? I just want to ask about the quality of these songs. How about, is there fire potential?”
"It's not popular, it's too tacky." Liang Qiaobai put the manuscript away respectfully and gently smoothed it with his palms: "These songs of his may become household names and be circulated for more than ten or twenty years. "
"Qin Chuan's understanding of lyrics, understanding and application of tunes have reached the pinnacle. Looking at the entire Asian music scene, there are few who can match him."
"This young man is incredible. In time he will definitely become an international superstar. Wherever he can understand Chinese, there will be his fans."
Long Danni opened her mouth wide: "Why is it so awesome?"
Liang Qiaobai asked: "Mr. Long, can you give me these manuscripts written by Qin Chuan? You can just make a few copies and send them over."
"Of course, no problem! Teacher Liang, I leave it to you to produce Qin Chuan's album."
"This is my honor, don't worry, I will definitely do it seriously!"
Long Danni rolled her eyes and said, "Are each of these five songs very strong?"
"It's natural."
"Are they all capable of being hit songs?"
"sure."
"Then do you think you can divide these five songs into five albums, and the company can buy a few more songs to add to them."
Liang Qiaobai: "..."
That's why he doesn't like dealing with these businessmen, it's too tacky.
All he talks about is money, and all he thinks about is maximizing profits.
In the evening, just as Qin Chuan was about to go to bed, Long Danni called.
I was very excited and asked him if he could divide the five songs into five albums. The company would pay people to write the remaining songs, and the share would remain unchanged.
"Sister Long, five songs in one album is a lot, right?"
"Not a few, that's a lot."
The thought of five songs of this level being sold in one album made Long Danni extremely heartbroken.
If you split it into five pieces and sell them, how much money will you make?
"Just put them together and send them out, don't split them."
Qin Chuan's firm tone made Long Danni even more heartbroken: "Don't you think about it again?"
"Don't think about it, that's it!"
"Then let's raise the price of the album a little bit?"
"This is okay."
…
When Fairy Sword 3 was completed, Qin Chuan went to Changsha and stayed there for more than a month. After recording the song, he also participated in the production of the song and shot the MV.
Fortunately, he has a master like Liang Qiaobai, who helps him a lot in production. Sometimes the other party knows what he wants with just one sentence.
For more than a month in Changsha, Qin Chuan spent most of his time filming the MV.
The shooting of the MV is not easy. It takes several days to shoot a MV, which is very fast. Each one has its own style, just like filming a movie.
In mid-October, Qinchuan returned to Peiping.
At night, he knocked on Jin Lian's door.
It's not long since he came to this community, and this is his second time at Jin Lian's house.
I've been here once before, during the Spring Festival Gala two years ago, and I slept there for a day.
Jin Lian was still awake, wearing a set of thin pajamas and opened the door for Qin Chuan.
"It's late at night, and we can't talk about anything tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is too late."
