Chapter 108: Bald, but also stronger (please vote)
"The song "Never Change in This Life" that was recorded before is also included in the album."
The MV task has been completed, and Qi Hao has no reason to release that single now.
It just so happens that it hasn’t been released yet, so it can be released together with the album.
"No problem. The quality of this song is very good and the MV is well shot. It will be no problem for it to be the title song."
Jin Dazhou took out his notepad and began to record the wealthy boss's requirements.
"Approximately how many songs should be included in an album?" Qi Hao asked.
He didn't know much about it, and he had never thought about it before.
After all, crossing borders is shameful.
"This number is not fixed. If it is more, the double CD can record twenty or thirty songs. If it is less, ten to fifteen songs are more normal. To release the EP, only three to six songs are needed..."
Jin Dazhou took different albums from his workbench and showed them to Qi Hao.
"Then five or six songs in total."
Qi Hao fell in love with EP and felt that as long as it was done with enough weight, it would not be said to be a money trap.
"Then I will help you collect the songs as soon as possible."
Jin Dazhou can also create.
But boss Qi Hao said that he must maintain quality and quantity quickly, so he must collect songs from other creators in the industry in time.
Jin Dazhou has only been back from abroad for two years, but he has a high standard and many domestic creators are willing to communicate with him.
Therefore, when he let out the news that he wanted to collect songs for the best actor Qi Hao, and paid a high price for the songs, he was immediately bombarded with phone calls from the industry.
The current record industry is in a downturn, and singers are releasing fewer albums, making it difficult for creators to survive as well.
It was not easy to meet someone like Qi Hao who was not short of money, and all of them came up with their "treasure" songs.
Some even set up various friendships just to sell the junk inventory to Qi Hao at a high price.
This is the rhythm of treating Qi Hao as the enemy.
Jin Dazhou is not used to these people. He can at least distinguish who are the human resources worth maintaining.
A celebrity like Qi Hao is involved in capital. It is possible to introduce him to a job every year. He is like a parent who provides food and clothing.
And those creators even pointed at him to eat.
Therefore, while Jin Dazhou was screening submissions from people in the industry, he also took the initiative to invite top creators to create.
Anyway, Qi Hao said, money is not an issue.
He must give him a high-quality album.
It doesn’t necessarily mean you will lose money.
Qi Hao is a top idol with millions of fans, and his album may be a big hit.
Jin Dazhou also found a few songs of decent quality among the submitted songs.
For example, this song "Why Be Together" by Liang Xiaoxue.
Liang Xiaoxue is a new creator. Like Jin Dazhou, they both studied abroad.
Why do we need to be together/Let me fall in love with you/At least I don’t have to be too depressed...
It fits the image of Qi Hao, a scumbag with numerous rumored girlfriends.
Previously, Li Ronghao, who served as the music director of Chen Kun's album "Mystery ME", gave two songs that were also very good.
One "Old Street" and one "Model".
As long as it's good, don't hesitate to pay a high price.
The prices Jin Dazhou gave to Li Yonghao and others were higher than the market price.
There was also a newcomer named Xu Song who came up with a song called "Superfluous Explanation".
The lyrics, composition, and arrangement are all his own.
It is said that he originally planned to include this song in his first album "Custom" to be released next year.
However, he had creative talent but no money to promote it. He finally saved some money and used it all to produce an album.
An album is easy to produce, but not easy to promote.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.
Therefore, if he sells a song to Qi Hao, he can at least get some promotion funds.
And this song has a bit of a scumbag feel, and it is a bit awkward to put in his own album. In Jin Dazhou's opinion, it is obviously more suitable for Qi Hao.
Jin Dazhou felt that this kind of work delivered to his door was not in line with Qi Hao's status as a top idol.
Therefore, in addition to using "Never Change in This Life" as the title song, he also asked experts in the industry to perform the song.
Most of the powerful people in the industry were harassed by him.
Finally, Jin Dazhou asked for the song "Where Has the Time Gone" from Dong Dongdong.
Dong Dongdong is considered a peer of Jin Dazhou, but he debuted earlier than Jin Dazhou.
After graduating from Nortel's Recording Department, he began composing music for movies, TV series, cartoons, and commercials in 2003.
He originally planned to use this song as an episode for a TV series.
Jin Dazhou invited him to sing a song, saying it was for Qi Hao, one of the four great students in the domestic entertainment industry. He gave the song to him without much hesitation.
Some songwriters will be happy to sell songs to crossover singers, but others are very resistant.
Those who are happy, such as Dong Dongdong.
He and his wife Chen Xi have composed a large number of songs for film and television dramas and singers, and he has also sung songs himself. However, not many people really know them.
He felt that writing songs for Qi Hao would increase his popularity.
And those who are not happy are even more worried that crossover singers like Qi Hao will not be able to sing their songs well.
But it doesn’t matter, Jin Dazhou is holding a total of six songs in his hands: "Never Change in This Life", "Where Has the Time Gone", "Why Are We Together", "Superfluous Explanation", "Old Street" and "Model".
It’s a bit shabby to release an album, but it’s definitely enough to release an EP.
Not without regrets.
That is because Jin Dazhou's own inventory could not be stuffed in.
His original plan was that if the songs he received were not enough, he would include his own songs so he could make a little more money.
But that’s enough for six songs now.
Adding one more song would make this EP a bit bloated. However, Qi Hao's reply to him was very simple. Six or seven songs didn't matter, the key was to ensure quality.
He will start recording when he comes back from Jiangcheng.
At this time, Qi Hao entrusted the album matter to Jin Dazhou, and he himself was already in Jiangcheng, busy with the start-up work of "People on the Road".
Most of the scenes in this movie were shot in Jiangcheng.
Naturally, the power-on ceremony was also held in Jiangcheng.
In fact, Ye Weimin thought about doing it here in the capital and inviting all Qi Hao's rumored girlfriends who were willing to make guest appearances.
Invite some media to come over and just hype it up, which can directly build up the anticipation for this film.
It's a pity that Qi Hao rejected it.
For things like gimmicks, the impact is strongest at the beginning, and after that period it basically softens.
Then comes the time of the wise.
If you put all the gimmicks at the start of the film, then when the movie is released, there will be nothing new to come up with.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
It's better to be low-key at the beginning.
Therefore, the only actors present were Qi Hao, Wang Baoqiang, An Feng, Gao Yuanyuan, and Li Xiaoran, who had recently arranged scenes.
An Feng accepted Qi Hao's invitation to guest star as a female liar.
In fact, it is difficult to explain clearly the human relationships in the entertainment industry.
Qi Hao introduced An Feng to the crew of "October Siege", which was definitely a favor for the banned An Feng.
Now, An Feng has made a guest appearance in "The Lost Road".
It's hard to tell who owes this favor.
An Feng is there to play such a small supporting role, and it is also ugly. It can indeed be said that An Feng played a favor to Qi Hao.
However, Anfeng's current resources have not been completely restored.
Qi Hao's invitation to An Feng to star in the role can be regarded as a gesture of support, and it is a matter of giving timely help.
Looking at it this way, An Feng continues to owe Qi Hao.
Moreover, An Feng's status in the entertainment industry is mainly concentrated in TV dramas, and she does not have any particularly outstanding film results.
Like the dazzling supporting characters in "Unfortunately", they are actually a kind of resource.
However, these don’t matter anymore, and it’s impossible to distinguish them so clearly.
As long as the benefits are obtained.
Anyway, for "Unfortunately", the joining of An Feng, one of Qi Hao's ex-girlfriends, can indeed add a lot of publicity gimmicks to the movie.
Moreover, An Feng is a native of Jiangcheng.
The power-on ceremony was simple but not shabby, and everything was included.
Since this is a film project exclusively produced by Little Sheep, Gao Yang, the boss behind the company, made a special trip to attend the opening ceremony.
He also took a Taoist priest with him.
This Taoist master is not tall, has a full beard, and is wearing a blue-black Taoist robe. He does look a bit like an immortal Taoist.
"This is Xi Yufei. His Taoist name is Suiyun. You can call him Taoist Master Suiyun."
Gao Yang solemnly introduced Qi Hao and the others.
"Hello, Master Taoist!"
There are many superstitions in the entertainment industry, and Taoist monks often appear in various occasions.
Since the big boss upholds Taoism, then everyone will naturally follow the good deeds.
"Well...Master Tao, let's do a ritual."
When Ye Weimin saw the Taoist priest, he felt that if he didn't use him, it would be useless, and what if he had some Taoism?
"How?" The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
Everyone saw him take off a long sword from his back, and then start playing around with it.
I can't tell whether it has mana or not.
But that sword is definitely a real thing, and it is dazzling to play with, and it does feel like it has some real skills.
Recall that Gao Yang, as a billionaire, only had this Taoist priest with him besides the driver.
He probably also functions as a bodyguard.
After performing a set of sword skills, the Taoist priest may feel that he can't bluff people, so he took out yellow paper, cinnabar and other things...
The start-up scene was suddenly filled with flames and lightning.
Everyone watching was stunned.
Although Qi Hao is only a junior high school student, the crew often uses some props, so he can understand that flames can be created through chemical reactions.
However, the electric light is very magical.
"Afraid of accidentally injuring you, the lightning is a little smaller."
The Taoist priest seemed a little regretful.
"Enough is enough."
Even a well-informed veteran like Ye Weimin was frightened.
Could it be that you still want to summon a lightning as thick as a bucket to kill us directly?
"Come on, let's take a photo together and let's turn on the phone."
The actors play ugly in various ways in this drama. The makeup photos are casual and don’t require much effort. Just take a photo and it’s done.
An Feng was wearing very ordinary clothes.
When I look back and take pictures, there will be scars on my face.
And Qi Hao was not spared.
Ye Weimin felt that he looked too handsome and affected the comedy effect, so he decisively shaved off his hair.
He even applied something on it, making Qi Hao's head shiny and shiny, as if he was bald.
He became bald and stronger.
