Chapter 498: Vulnerable Groups in the Entertainment Industry

Zhang Jizhong has been in a very good mood these past few days. He has great power and is proud of himself. The crew members are also full of awe towards Zhang Jizhong. This is exactly the result that Zhang Jizhong hopes to see.

Who knows, Zhang Jizhong's mood has not improved for a few days, and suddenly he frowned again. This made the crew very worried. Could it be that Lao Zhang discovered something again? Which grandson without eyes is here? Isn't it possible to act evil at the critical moment? Isn't this a rat working as an escort for a cat, making money at the expense of his life?

Many people secretly admired the courage of this colleague, but they were also very worried whether their money-making was exposed. You must know that after Xiao Wei and Sima's money-making was exposed, they actually had nothing to do with it. Kicked out without warning.

Everyone on the crew was in panic, making it impossible to carry out normal filming. When things got to this point, Huang Jianzhong, as the director, couldn't sit still. If he didn't ask, there would be big problems sooner or later, but if If you ask, it is better to find a helper.

One day after the show, Huang Jianzhong looked around and saw no sign of Zhang Jizhong. Then he quietly called Ye Ming over and said, "Ye Zi, in the past two days, do you think there is something wrong with the atmosphere? If it continues, If this continues, there will be problems with a matter like this, but we cannot allow this matter to continue."

Ye Ming looked at Huang Jianzhong and said with some anticipation: "What does Director Huang mean?"

Huang Jianzhong then said earnestly: "Actually, we can ask Lao Zhang what happened. If someone from the crew is still making trouble, then just deal with it directly like Xiao Wei and the others. Don't mess up everyone's thoughts. This is very detrimental to the filming. And on the crew, the only one who is qualified to go with me is you. I hope you will go to Lao Zhang's place with me to ask It’s clear.”

Zhang Jizhong was in a very unhappy mood. Most people wouldn't even bother to hide, let alone take the initiative to send someone to his door for abuse. Moreover, people who are not qualified do not have the courage to join in the fun with Huang Jianzhong. Ye Ming is quite qualified and a very eloquent person.

At this time, Ye Ming actually really wanted to know what happened to Zhang Jizhong and who provoked him?

Therefore, he nodded and said: "Well, let's go to Producer Zhang later to find out what happened. If it always stays like this, it's not an option."

In fact, Huang Jianzhong was also impatient and didn't eat at all. When he went back, he simply told his assistant and then went to find Zhang Jizhong with Ye Ming.

At this time, Zhang Jizhong still looked bitter and resentful, which was very different from the cheerful look a few days ago, as if he had won five million. It is no wonder that the crew thought so much about Zhang Jizhong. His expression looked like he owed him a hundred and eighty thousand yuan and hadn't paid it back. Who wouldn't be scared to see it?

Huang Jianzhong came with Ye Ming. At this time, he felt a little more confident. After all, Ye Ming was behind him. If anything happened, Ye Ming could also help.

Thinking about it, even if there was a problem, Zhang Jizhong still wanted to give Ye Ming some face. Zhang Jizhong glanced weakly at Huang Jianzhong and Ye Ming. This performance was very different from his usual spirit and confidence.

Huang Jianzhong tried his best to behave calmly and said: "Old Zhang, what happened recently made you so unhappy? At this time, your attitude made everyone on the crew a little frightened, and even affected them. It’s time to shoot.

If you have something to say, we can discuss it. I haven't heard anything special happened in the crew. If Xiao Wei and Sima are kicked out, it will be a big shock to the entire crew. I believe no one will take risks in a short time. "

What made Zhang Jizhong unhappy was the little thing that happened to the crew? But Huang Jianzhong thought about it, and it seemed that this was not a problem. In such a situation, no one would be stupid enough to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Sure enough, Zhang Jizhong seemed to want to find someone to talk to at this time, so he said lazily: "Actually, it's not the crew's problem. Although some people still made some small moves, when the water is clear, there will be no fish." I understand the truth. It is not something that only one of our crew can do to benefit ourselves.

Actually, it’s a matter within the bureau. You know this guy Lao Meng, he’s always been a guy I don’t deal with very well. I heard that after I filmed Swordsman, I organized a TV series theme song competition, and invited When we go to participate, you said, isn't it obvious that things are going to be difficult for me? If Water Margin could be broadcast, would I care about this? "

The Water Margin was also filmed by Zhang Jizhong and the others, but not long after, the TV was banned from broadcasting for reasons that everyone knows. There is no reason at all. Many years later, the TV was unbanned. Just as no one understands why it was banned, there is no reason to lift the ban.

But no matter what, if this TV is banned, the theme song will naturally not appear on TV publicly.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Jizhong was invited to participate in some TV theme song grand prix. This was simply a well-dug hole.

At this time, Huang Jianzhong said with a smile: "Old Zhang, Old Zhang, what can I say about you? Do you still need to worry about this matter? Don't you think you know that Ye Ming is very good at writing songs? Yes, ask him to write a theme song for you, and you can kill a lot of them instantly."

At this time, Zhang Jizhong looked at Ye Ming in shock and said, "Ye Zi, can you still write songs?"

It’s not that Zhang Jizhong has no knowledge, it’s actually because Ye Ming’s achievements in movies are so great. He is the Berlin Best Actor. Therefore, Zhang Jizhong also thinks from a professional perspective. Ye Ming is a movie king, just a movie actor.

Of course, Ye Ming released a record, and the record sales were quite good. But Zhang Jizhong really didn't care whether those songs were written by himself.

Ye Ming said very modestly: "I have written a few songs and released an album, but my main task is to act in movies. This is what I am most interested in."

Only then did Zhang Jizhong pat his head and said: "By the way, I remembered that you have participated in the Spring Festival Gala more than once. When I met Na Ying at a party, she even praised you to me. Invisible You wrote the wings and sang them yourself, right?"

Although Zhang Jizhong doesn't care much about people and things in the entertainment industry other than himself, at a time like this, there are some things that he will know no matter how he avoids them.

For example, the theme song "Invisible Wings" of "No One Can Be Missed" is a classic song. Zhang Jizhong heard it accidentally, and it was precisely because of hearing this song that he deliberately sang it I asked who sang the lead vocal in this song.

After Huang Jianzhong's reminder, he suddenly thought of Ye Ming's results. It seemed that this guy was a singer who was crowned king in one battle. At this moment, Zhang Jizhong finally thought of the horror of this result.

At this time, he did a little calculation and found out that the results of Ye Ming's records were very surprising to him. He simply couldn't believe that a singer could achieve such incredible results.

But the facts are facts. Ye Ming’s achievements are recognized by the entire entertainment industry. It can be said that among the younger generation, there are no singers who can compete with Ye Ming. They just say that they can see Ye Ming. He crushed them all with his own abilities, whether it was singing or acting.

At this time, Zhang Jizhong said with a smile: "Look at myself, I have forgotten this matter. Ye Ming, you should write a theme song for us. By then, our TV will be able to show up at the Grand Prix." , this is also an honor for our crew."

Ye Ming was a little hesitant. To be honest, he really didn't have much impression of the theme song of "Swordsman". It was probably a song that was submerged in so many music.

It’s really hard to find a song that suits this TV series.

Ye Ming's slight hesitation made Zhang Jizhong think that Ye Ming wanted to negotiate terms. At this time, he immediately said: "Yi Zi, are you worried about the cost? Don't worry about this. Although our circle implements a 40-60 split It's a principle, but don't worry, I'm very clear about you, and I will never owe you a penny."

In the TV drama industry, there is actually a very bad habit of theme songs. That is to say, 40% is paid for songwriting, and the other 60% will not be paid until after the TV series is screened. Moreover, many film producers will The 60% will be directly hacked and will not be given to the songwriters. This is why fewer and fewer TV series theme songs have become classics.

This approach is actually a way of killing the chicken to lay the eggs, and it is a very unwise method.

But there is no way. In this industry, songwriters are actually in a passive position. It can be said that there are basically no writers who write lyrics and music full-time. If there were, they would probably starve to death.

Of course, for those artists who have been famous for a long time, such as Mr. Qiao, there is no one who refuses to pay them casually, but most songwriters have been hacked at least once. Experience. (To be continued)
