Perfect Superstar
Chapter 206: Male Leaders
“Lu Chen, thanks to you this time...”
Lin Zhijie said with a smile to Lu Chen at the music director's office of Feishi Records: “Enjoy your cooperation! ”
The lead song of MSN's first album, "Less Than Lovers", was written by Lu Chen and co-authored and produced with Lin Zhijie. At the audition just completed, it received unanimous positive reviews from senior company and industry personnel.
This song fits the character of MSN, although Lin Zhijie has always had confidence in the production process, but until now, the dust settled, he was really relieved.
The music director of Flying Stone Records has extensive experience, has produced and produced many albums, and works with a number of big coffee star idols. Rationally, he is used to big wind waves, so there is no need to be so solemn.
The reason was the controversy within the company some time ago and the pressure on his old gun.
Especially Lin Zhijie's slate invited Lu Chen to sing. I don't know how many gossip words caused.
The price of a song by Lu Chen is 350,000, and the friendship price for Flying Stone records is 300,000, plus the remuneration of the producer, which fully meets the industry's top authors.
He's a newcomer. How could he?
Some even suspect that Lin Zhijie ate the rebate! Until Lu Chen's large number of works landed on the vowel list, the rumor disappeared in the company.
It was also argued that Lin Zhijie's grasping of MSN and MSN's first album was an act of usurpation.
Some people are waiting to see his jokes!
Today's audition passed smoothly, the future of MSN is frank, Lin Zhijie is naturally especially grateful for Lu Chen.
He also admired his vision and decision.
Lu Chen chuckled: “Brother Lin is so polite, I need your help with the album on my side! ”
His own album, "You at the Table," had been crowdfunding a few days earlier, and CDs and surrounding products were now on the flying stone record, and if all went well, it could be sent to various parts of the country next week.
In this process, Lin Zhi is quite outstanding.
Lin Zhijahaha smiled: “How can we refuse customers when we open the door to do business? What kind of help...”
He said, "But I really need your help. ”
Lu Chen asked curiously: "What's so busy? ”
Lin Zhijie laughed: "We are going to shoot MSN's lead song on the MV, there is currently a lack of male lead. ”
"Less Than Lovers"?
Lu Chen never thought that Lin Zhijie would want him to play MSN's MV!
That's a joke to say, there are a lot of artists under Flying Stone Records. It's really easy to find someone about the age and appearance of Lu Chen.
A lot of people want to break their heads. How did the fat water from Flying Stone go into Lu Chen's field?
Lu Chen disbelieved: “Brother Lin, I'm not kidding. ”
Lin Zhijie said: “This is no joke, you are the original author of this song, and all aspects of the conditions meet, there are publicity flashpoints, I think it is very suitable! ”
So it's a propaganda!
Lu Chen realized that he had spared no effort in order to collect the red MSN.
Working with MSN to shoot MVs in his capacity and reputation is indeed a good publicity stunt.
Lu Chen thought about it and said: "When will it be filmed? ”
Lin Zhijie replied: "Can you spare time for the shoot just the day after tomorrow? Two days at most, the main shots are all in the school, so it won't take too long. ”
“As for the pay for the show, we have a limited budget, 30,000. Do you mind? ”
MV is completely different from advertising and movie drama. Men who work with MSN like Lu Chen are usually friendly and the price of 30,000 is very good.
If it's Flying Stone, it's totally free.
Lu Chen still knew something about the situation, nodded and said: “It doesn't matter if the film is paid, I just ask...”
Lu Xi should have been allowed to talk about things like this, but because of the small amount and the nature of friendship and help, he directly promised to come down, and then his sister would make up the contract.
Of course, Lu Chen is not completely unsolicited, he is conditional.
……
Monday, October 12, Northern Conservatory of Music.
The Northern Conservatory of Music is one of the three major conservatories in the capital. It has the same status as the Beijing and Chinese Music Academies. It is famous for its open-mindedness and freedom of learning.
Beiyin places great emphasis on social practices, and after graduation, a large proportion of students enter various media and entertainment companies, with a wide range of influences in the industry.
As an old music producer, Flying Stone has always had a good partnership with Beiyin.
So MSN's Less Than Lovers MV was filmed inside the Northern Conservatory of Music.
Flying Stone is still very important to this MV, sending an elite team of three cameramen alone, and everything else such as artisans, lighting, makeup, clothing, props, etc.
In the staircase classroom, Lu Chen sits in front of a standing piano.
He was dressed in a special school uniform, playing the song "Less Than Lovers" with all his attention, and the morning sun cast a speckled light on his face and body through the gap between the leaves and glass windows.
Three MSN members, Mu Xiaochu, Su Jiajia and Ning, sat in the first row and watched the morning play with a smile.
Mu Xiaochu is in the middle, Su Jiajia and Ning are around her.
This is the second scene from "Less Than Lovers" MV.
In this MV, Mu Xiaochu is the lead actress with Lu Chen, and Su Jiajia and Ning are her girlfriends.
The original Flying Stone record was meant to be more of a hostess because she was the prettiest and the best looking condition.
But Lin Zhijie thought that Mu Xiaochu's pure and sweet temperament best met the theme of "Less Than Lovers", so he chose her in the end.
After playing half the song, Lu Chen raised his head and looked toward the front seat. He matched Mu Xiaochu.
He smiled and blinked naughtily at each other.
The latter lowered his head in disdain, afraid to look at Lu Chen, shy as a surprised rabbit.
Though knowing that it was filming, although it was clear that both cameras were facing themselves at the same time, Lu Chen's heart still had a certain wonderful taste, and he inadvertently remembered two poems.
The gentlest one with a low head, just like a lotus flower!
And the sound of the violin, as if it were a clear spring of water, swept up the ripples one lap after the other.
Just as Lu Chen is in the mood at this moment.
Fang Hui, the MV director sitting in the corner of the classroom, bit her lip and was afraid she would shout it out on the spot.
This camera is awesome!
Fang Hui is an external director of Flying Stone Records. She is famous in the circle for her expertise in filming dramas expressing women's subtle emotions. She has also made many MVs and has a great deal of experience.
Fang Hui originally did not want to come, because the male and female protagonists of this MV are new arrivals, definitely lacking photography experience, will waste a lot of her time.
She has strict requirements for her work.
However, Fang Hui was honored because he was the president of Flying Stone Records, Summer Guoyuan, who personally invited him.
What she didn't expect was that the shooting went unexpectedly smoothly.
First of all, the actress, Mu Xiaochu, obviously had little experience in acting, and made several mistakes at the beginning, all low-level mistakes.
But her enlightenment was so high that after reminding and pointing, the same mistake would not be repeated.
Most importantly, Mu Xiaochu is a college girl herself, belongs to the original performances, she performs the psychological state of the female lead's vision of love, desire to be loved, and dare not proactively confess to the male lead.
Fang Hui even sensed that she was right about Lu Chen...
Besides, Lu Chen, Fang Hui really doesn't believe that Lu Chen is a new arrival, and he has never had a performance learning experience before. His performance in front of the camera is impeccable, his movements and eyes are very good.
Lu Chen's acting skills seem to be completely natural. His talent for acting makes Fang Hui heartbeat!
It's a natural actor.
In Fong Hui's view, Lu Chen's performance today is the biggest surprise she has ever received.
The director even came up with an idea.
“Cut!”
When Lu Chen finished playing the song, Fang Hui finally couldn't help but stand up and smile: “Over! ”
If it all stays in such excellent shape, it doesn't take two days at all to get it all done today.
Not far from Fang Hui, Li Feiyu is still holding up mobile cameras to shoot.
All of the images he captured are being transmitted to [Whale TV] 's live broadcast room over the 4G network!
Lu Chen promised to perform this MV on the condition that he be allowed to film live on Flying Stone Records.
Lu Chen signed a two-year contract with [Whale TV], which requires him to have enough time each month to host live broadcasts and interact with fans.
Although there was a way to circumvent the limitations of the contract and the contract had become anachronistic with Lu Chen's rising reputation, so far he had no intention of abandoning live webcasting.
Because Lu Chen hasn't forgotten what supported him all the way up to now, most of his fans came from live broadcast platforms, and it was the rewards of these fans that helped him through the initial difficult period.
Even now, Lu Chen plays less and less in the broadcast room, fans have no complaints, and are eager to buy his album and participate in his record crowdfunding event.
Be grateful!
So if conditions permit, Lu Chen will be in his own live room, not necessarily singing, just like now filming the MV live, can also bring great surprise and freshness to fans.
It's also a small reward for the followers he's always supported!
Lu Chen stood up and waved at Li Feiyu's camera.
Good morning, everyone!
