In fact, the story of "Ask the Heart Sword" is not complicated.
Ji Yuxing, who had been hiding in the world for many years, returned to the world. As promised, he dueled with the young swordsman Ye Shuo at the Hongchen Inn in Beimo, only to find that the Hongchen Inn was in a mess.
Through Ye Shuo's mouth, Ji Yuxing gradually learned that the world was controlled by "Gongsun Sheng". "Gongsun Sheng" compiled a celebrity list and let the people on the list fight each other for fame. Ji Yuxing and Ye Shuo were also written on the list. , so they were hunted down by many martial arts people on the list along the way.
A woman, Du Menghan, also appeared on the road. She had a face exactly like Ji Yuxing's late first love, Cuifang.
Along the way, Ji Yuxing protected Ye Shuo and Du Menghan and exposed Gongsun Sheng's conspiracy. Unexpectedly, he fell into a deeper conspiracy step by step, and Ye Shuo and Du Menghan were part of this conspiracy.
In fact, purely from the perspective of the story outline, the script of "The Sword" is not particularly outstanding, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. The brothers betray, the protagonist takes revenge, and the protagonist retreats from the world. However, the emotional dimension of the script is particularly touching, and the characters are also particularly brilliant. .
Ji Yuxing's process of saving himself, saving others and finally achieving self-sublimation is very moving. He has a mind as broad as the end of the world and a heart as clear as the moon. This character also pleases the audience.
It took Chen Minhao more than ten minutes to tell the story clearly. Director Zhao nodded slightly and said, "That's good. Let's go to the editing room now."
Chen Minhao smiled and said: "Director Zhao, after you finish filming "The Sword of the Heart", do you have a shooting plan for the next one? Do you plan to shoot martial arts in the next one?"
Director Zhao patted his belly and said: "You should film your "Detective" well first. Don't eat what's in the bowl and think about what's in the pot. It's your turn, and I can't beat you."
Director Zhao and Chen Minhao spent 2 hours watching the first cut of "The Sword". Director Zhao asked with a proud look on his face: "How was it? I did a good job, right?"
Director Zhao's arrogance is not without reason. Chen Minhao is not sure how high the box office of this movie will be, but he feels that when taking stock of Chinese martial arts movies in the future, "The Sword of the Heart" will definitely have a place.
Although this movie has a martial arts veneer, it actually discusses the outlook on life, values, and world view of all living beings in a very profound way. Moreover, this movie is very watchable, with grand scenes and exciting fighting scenes.
Zhao Yao was really powerful, and Chen Minhao felt like he had to hug his thighs tightly.
"Analyst" Chen Minhao calmly "raised" Zhao Yao's purchase price, joining the ranks of those who need to "hold positions for the long term."
Chen Minhao said with a smile: "In fact, the ending of the movie is very good. At the beginning, I was not calm, and I was obsessed with love, and my mind was full of twists and turns. But after seeing through the world of mortals, the word love is nothing more than the word love. Children in the world, The gatherings and separations are nothing more than earthly fate."
Chen Minhao's skill in watching people serve food has reached the full level. When he was cooperating on "Bing Di Lian", he figured out Zhao Yao's preferences. He liked to listen to this kind of "high-end" stuff.
Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction, his lips split open with a smile, and he thought to himself: A little ink in his belly is just different.
Before the film is released, the edited content needs to be kept strictly confidential.
Even the stars of a film are often only seen before its release. Generally speaking, the creator of the theme song can only see the trailer and script. Director Zhao gave Chen Minhao the green light.
At present, apart from Director Zhao and Chen Minhao, only producer Fan Tong has seen the complete first cut version of "The Sword".
There is no harm without contrast. Producer Fan Tong's comments over and over again were nothing more than "This shot is amazing, it's beautiful.", "Awesome", and the lack of words made him repeat a few sentences every time, falling into a cycle.
This kind of unqualified praise made Zhao Yao's heart not shaken at all. Zhao Yao could only comfort himself: Such a producer is better than someone who is not good at anything but likes to point fingers. However, I will communicate more with Chen Minhao in the future.
When Chen Minhao and Zhao Yao were about to get up and leave, producer Fan Tong knocked on the door and came in.
Perhaps because Chen Minhao and Zhao Yao left the scene early, the producer became the main candidate for the toast. Chen Minhao could smell the alcohol on him even one meter away from him.
Fan Tong smiled and said: "I heard from the staff that you were in the editing room, so I came over. Xiao Chen, have you watched the movie? How do you feel?"
Chen Minhao pulled up a chair for Fan Tong to sit down and said, "Director Zhao did a great job. It should be a big hit at the box office."
If the director still cares about the artistry and evaluation of the film, then the producer only cares about the box office.
After Fan Tong heard this, he burped happily: "Then I'll lend you some good advice. By the way, Xiao Chen, do you have an idea for the theme song?"
Zhao Yao glared at him and said, "What's so exciting about this? Creation is a kind of art. Can art be stimulated?"
Fan Tong smiled and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Zhao Yao turned to Chen Minhao and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's take our time. If you encounter any problems during the creation process, you can always ask me."
Chen Minhao nodded, but he was a little bit dumbfounded in his heart: Needless to say, inspiration, after watching the movie, the theme song in his heart has already come out.
For the average singer-songwriter, composing a theme song for a movie is much more difficult than writing a song yourself. When composing a song, it’s all about whatever comes to mind, but when it comes to a movie theme song, it’s equivalent to a proposition composition, and the level of difficulty is a whole lot higher.
But for Chen Minhao, it's very simple: understand the work and then "match" it.
Fan Tong burped again and said, "By the way, Xiao Chen, I know you are busy, but the fee for the theme song has not been determined. How much do you expect to get?"
Chen Minhao smiled and said, "I owe Director Zhao a favor, so"
Before Chen Minhao finished speaking, Director Zhao, who was sitting opposite him, kicked him in the calf.
Director Zhao winked at Chen Minhao and said to Fan Tong: "How can he, a little brat, know anything about fees? It's useless even if you talk to him.
If you want to pay for it, I'll help you and his manager Kang Hui form a group, and you two can communicate. But you can first inquire about Chen Minhao's market conditions. His agent is not easy to talk to, so don't let the negotiation break down. "
When Chen Minhao saw Zhao Yao who wanted to kill Fan Tongyi for him, Chen Minhao felt a little dumbfounded:
How much can a theme song cost? Through excellent works, you can increase your popularity, and then endorsements and advertising fees are the main sources of making money.
However, Chen Minhao did not refute. After all, Director Zhao also had good intentions, and no one could have too much money.
Fan Tong rubbed his face and said, "No problem, Xiao Chen, we may not let you suffer a loss in money. We want to publicize this on our official WeChat account, is that okay?"
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Okay, you can communicate with my agent. There is no problem on my side."
Fan Tongtong sat up straight, his eyes clouded by drinking suddenly showed a bit of shrewdness, and said: "But I want to tell you my general idea first. Let's release a few photos of you on the set first, and then speculate There is talk about you going to star in "The Sword of the Heart".
Then your studio vaguely mentioned your relationship with Director Zhao, but when you joined the crew of "Detective". We are looking for someone online to take the lead and tell you that you gave up "The Sword" because of "Detective". This will definitely create a lot of buzz.
Finally, we came forward to clarify that you have only been responsible for producing the theme song of "The Sword of the Heart", and you came to the crew to create better. "
Fan Tong's method is really wonderful. It is not an exaggeration to say that it kills three birds with one stone.
First of all, this operation will increase the popularity of "The Sword" and let more people know about this movie, which will directly benefit him.
At the same time, this also increased the popularity of "Detective" and sold "Detective" a favor.
In the end, after this operation, Chen Minhao is expected to be on several hot searches, ensuring exposure.
Chen Minhao glanced at Fan Tongyi meaningfully and thought to himself: Walking around the world, there are all human beings.
