Chapter 165 It’s better to invite both of you If it's just one or two songs, it doesn't really matter if you agree to it, and it won't matter how few points you get. But TV music composition usually requires more than one song. It requires at least three or four songs including the opening and ending songs and the interludes in between. If the director is demanding, it may be even more. This quantity is a bit large. It is definitely not cost-effective to spend so many points just to make money, but there is a way. Wu Mu thought about it and said, "I can write songs, but I have to sing the songs I write myself." Well, if I don’t have enough points for writing songs, I’ll make up for it by singing. However, this condition seemed to be beyond Director Wang Ren's idea. He was silent for a moment and said, "I need to go back and ask." Wu Mu was a little surprised, but he was not surprised that Director Wang Ren did not agree to him on the spot. Generally, the OSTs of film and television dramas are sung by fixed people, and it is difficult for ordinary singers to get in. It is normal for a new director like him who has never sung before to have doubts.
It has nothing to do with his ability. The main reason is that his voice may not fit the theme of the series, not to mention considerations such as appearance fee. But even if there are various considerations, Wang Ren should have said that he should go back and think about it. Why did he say go back and ask? Why do I feel like Wang Ren, who is considered a famous director, doesn't have much say? Wu Mu was a little confused, but he didn't ask, just nodded. Things happened too fast and the food hadn't even been served yet. Wang Ren thought about it and decided not to eat at all. He just said goodbye and left. As a result, Mu and Lin Qingyue stayed for lunch in the afternoon. Lin Qingyue looked at Wu Mu and said with a chuckle, "You don't seem to be very enthusiastic. I thought introducing Wang Ren's job to you would be an opportunity for you." Wu Mu smiled slightly, "No, thank you Director Lin." He certainly couldn't explain why he complained about having too few points, so he could only make excuses. “I just feel like the money I make just writing songs is too little, it’s meaningless.” Lin Qingyue looked at him helplessly and sighed, "This is not just about money. Director Wang Ren's first drama is still very popular in the circle. If you write the songs in it and they are outstanding, it will help to improve your fame, and you will also have more opportunities to compose music in the future." As someone who has been paying attention to Wu Mu's situation, she still has a lot of thoughts about Wu Mu's situation. In her opinion, since Wu Mu's collapse, he has completely stopped his decline by relying on the three programs "Singer-Songwriter Group", "Celebrity Agency" and "Masked Singer". Although the house collapse still has some impact, we certainly don’t have to worry about not being able to find a job because of it. And because he writes good songs, sings in a unique way, and has good show effects, his popularity has always remained at a very high level. But the variety show market is ultimately only a part of the entertainment market. Many viewers do not watch variety shows nor pay attention to variety show stars. There is an upper limit to this heat. He is only popular in variety shows, and in the circle, he is equivalent to a variety show star. Fortunately, Wu Mu is also a singer who can write songs and sing well, so he doesn't end up like Wang Xiaotian, who has become a variety show star. But even so, because he has only proven himself on the variety show stage, recognition of his status in the circle is still slow to rise. If Wu Mu wants to break through, he needs to adjust his center of gravity.
The direction of adjustment is either to become a singer, release singles and albums, hold concerts, and follow the path of a serious singer. Or you can pursue a career as an actor, looking for opportunities to appear in various TV series and movies, and follow the path of an actor. Or maybe they could just go both ways, and be involved in the three fields of film, television, and music. Wu Mu could understand these things, but he was not a normal star, and he did not really plan to make a living from being a star. He makes a living by the system. Popularity and status are all empty words to him. Only system points are real. With a lot of system points and hundreds of performance cards to use, there is no limit on status and popularity. I'm afraid even the natives in the African tribes know his name. So Wu Mu just nodded to indicate that he understood and changed the subject, "Isn't Director Wang a movie director? Why is he filming a TV series?" It is undoubtedly rare for a film director, especially an art film director, to make a TV series. When it comes to this, Lin Qingyue also laughed a little, "He lost so much money on his previous film that his company almost went bankrupt and owed a lot of money, so he had no choice but to make TV series to make money." So that's how it is. No wonder Wang Ren seems to have little say. Wu Mu suddenly realized. Well, it’s not surprising that he was wrong. Judging from the movie we watched at the party before, no normal person could appreciate it. While Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue were having dinner and chatting, Yang Rongfa, the producer of Wang Ren's drama project, also received a message from Wu Mu asking him to sing the song he wrote. Want to sing the OST yourself? Yang Rongfa frowned slightly, but to be honest, he didn't feel it was that inappropriate. Wu Mu finally proved himself in songwriting and singing. At most, he was a little skeptical whether someone like Wu Mu, who had never sung an OST, could cooperate well with their drama. And this matter was a little beyond his expectations. He initially thought of asking Mo Mo to sing these songs. Mo Mo is very popular and is a veteran OST singer. She has worked with many production teams in the circle and has a good reputation. It is undoubtedly reassuring to ask her to sing. Well, actually, he originally planned to ask Mo Mo to write the song. It was just that Wang Ren was recommended Wu Mu by Lin Qingyue. He thought that Wu Mu wrote songs and Mo Mo sang, which seemed to be good, so he nodded and agreed. But I didn't expect Wu Mu actually planned to sing it himself. Yang Rongfa looked at Wang Ren who was sitting in front of him in silence, and after thinking for a while he asked, "Who do you think is suitable?" Wang Ren felt that "it would be best to invite two, so that we can make more songs." Yang Rongfa's eyes looked somewhat dangerous. He invited two people. The budget of the last film was seriously overspent and the company almost went bankrupt. This guy is planning to do it again? This time he said he would stick to the budget no matter what! "Just one person! We'll see who to invite later." Yang Rongfa has not made a decision yet, but Wu Mu’s new program, the new episode of Celebrity Agency is about to be broadcast. In order to create a popular variety show for the celebrity agency, Beijing TV station was willing to spend a lot of money and fully invested in various advertising and marketing. I bought several trending searches for the trailer.
Moreover, the program was originally planned to be broadcast in two parts, but after seeing the edited effect, Xiong Guanglin felt that dividing the program into two parts was a bit disjointed, so he simply adjusted the schedule and made it into a special episode to be broadcast together. Yang Rongfa, who accidentally saw the news about the program, simply found Wang Ren and planned to watch the performance of Wu Mu's new program together. (End of this chapter)
