"It was intentional. Tianhai definitely did it on purpose."

"Absolutely. Otherwise, there is no such thing as such a coincidence. That idiot just said that Tianhai signed Lin Zhixiang because of charity. But Tianhai immediately broke the news that Lin Zhixiang's signing bonus was 15 million. The idiot said that there was no basis for it.

If you have the ability to expose the contract, Tianhai immediately disclosed the details of the contract. It is obvious that Tianhai is just slapping the idiot in the face."

"It's making trouble, but I like it."

"Idiot, are you still being tough? Keep talking tough."

"Haha, I don't know who the idiot is. I signed Lin Zhixiang for 15 million, and I'm just waiting for Tianhai to lose money like a dog."

"You'd better worry about yourself, keyboard warrior. It's as if Tianhai's think tank doesn't know any more than you do."

"It means that the entire entertainment industry is not as knowledgeable as Tianhai's think tank. Other entertainment companies are not optimistic about Lin Zhixiang, but Tianhai signed Lin Zhixiang and offered a high price of 15 million. Who is the fool?"

"Okay, just keep being tough."

"Why do you care about this idiot? I believe in Wang Xuan. Since Wang Xuan dares to sign Lin Zhixiang and pays such a high price, he is definitely sure to make Lin Zhixiang popular again."

"You talk about Wang Xuan all day long. Is Wang Xuan your father? He can't make mistakes, can't make mistakes?"

"Wang Xuanyyds, don't explain!"

...

Regarding Tianhai's signing of Lin Zhixiang with an annual salary of 15 million, there has been a lot of discussion on the Internet. There are many people who are optimistic about this signing, but there are also many who are not optimistic about it. It is almost half a catty.

Not only the general public, but also the industry has started a huge discussion, and most of them are not optimistic about this signing. They all think that Tianhai people are stupid and have too much money, and they actually spent 15 million annual salary to sign Lin Zhixiang.

This is the annual salary of the popular singer. Why does Lin Zhixiang deserve it now? The latter's popularity has long declined, right? The number of followers on Weibo is less than 8 million now, which is not even as good as a second-tier singer.

Therefore, everyone in the industry felt that Tianhai had done something stupid, and many people were mocking Tianhai in private.

Cheng Kun was also mocking: "Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan, I thought you were capable of something? I didn't expect you to even ask Lin Zhixiang, who was kicked out by Huayi. That's it?"

Not to mention the 15 million annual salary, given Lin Zhixiang's current popularity, Huayi wouldn't want an annual salary of 5 million. The reason why it offered Lin Zhixiang an annual salary of 5 million to renew his contract was just because of Lin Zhixiang's many years at Huayi.

Cheng Kun didn't feel that the price he offered was an insult to Lin Zhixiang. He felt that the 5 million annual salary was actually offered by Huayi to support Lin Zhixiang in his retirement, and Huayi was already very kind.

I didn’t expect Lin Zhixiang to be ungrateful and ignorant!

...

In fact, not only the outside world thinks that Lin Zhixiang is not worthy of the 15 million annual salary, but even Lin Zhixiang himself feels that he is not worthy of the 15 million annual salary.

When signing the contract, there was a little incident. Lin Zhixiang was very surprised when he saw the annual salary of 15 million. He once thought that Tianhai had accidentally written it wrong.

After receiving Tianhai's affirmative answer, Lin Zhixiang kept shaking his head and saying that he was not worth 15 million, and actually offered to take a salary cut.

Later, Wang Xuan explained that the 15 million annual salary is not only for him, but also for the outside world. In Tianhai’s eyes, he is the popular singer. In the future, anyone from the outside world who wants to seek him for endorsements or commercial performances must follow the rules of popular singers.

The king’s standards come.

This is more in line with Tianhai's interests.

Lin Zhixiang gave up after hearing this. He knew that what Wang Xuan said was not false.

In the entertainment industry, many popular stars refuse to lower their prices and remuneration easily when accepting commercial roles, endorsements, and film and television projects. This is because once they are lowered, others will follow the same rules when looking for you in the future.

This standard is here.

As the saying goes, if there is a first time, there will be a second time.

When some stars accept a film, what should they do if they really like the role, but the producer cannot offer such a high salary?

Friendly guest appearance!

Celebrities can accept the salary offered by the producer, but both parties must agree that external publicity will be a friendly guest appearance.

What I mean is that I made a friendly guest appearance in this film at a low price because I have a relationship with the producer. If others don’t have a relationship with me, they have to follow my market conditions.

But it’s best to do less of this kind of thing. So-called friendly guest appearances will appear false if done too much.

Specific to Lin Zhixiang, if he reduces the signing bonus with Tianhai to 10 million annual salary, 10 million annual salary is the standard for first-tier artists. Then when outsiders come to him for endorsements or commercial performances, the price will be based on first-tier standards.

The loss is naturally Tianhai’s interests.

Because the market price of the king of singers is much higher than that of the first-tier artists, in comparison, the extra 5 million annual salary is really nothing, which is why Lin Zhixiang finally accepted Tianhai's contract price.

He is not a greedy person, and he also knows how to repay kindness. Without Wang Xuan and Tianhai, he is probably facing retirement now.

...

Wang Xuan is a resolute person. After signing the contract with Lin Zhixiang, as a show of sincerity, Wang Xuan notified Lin Zhixiang to go to the recording studio to record songs the next day.

In fact, Lin Zhixiang is known as the King of Iron Lung Singers. His voice is very powerful and he is best suited for singing majestic songs. Wang Xuan has a song that is more suitable for Lin Zhixiang, and that is "Men Should Be Strong", but that

The song Wang Xuan is of great use.

"Once Upon a Time" hasn't come out yet, so Wang Xuan naturally doesn't want to throw out a Wang Zhazhong Wang Zha song right now.

The song Wang Xuan prepared for Lin Zhixiang this time is "Laughing at the Storm".

In another time and space, "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud" was the theme song sung by Zheng Shaoqiu for the TV series "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud" of the same name. The lyrics are straightforward but very touching. In the joys and hatreds of life, just smile at the storm. Don't care too much about life.

In terms of gains and losses, just sit back and watch the tide rise, smile and watch the storm, and live a good life every day.

This is definitely a legendary Cantonese classic song, and it is more suitable for Lin Zhixiang's current state of mind to sing this song.

Anyway, Lin Zhixiang fell in love with this song as soon as he saw it.

"Who doesn't have some unforgettable thoughts, who can predict the consequences, who doesn't have some old grudges and inner demons, a little innocent mistake, who doesn't have some unrealized dreams, who has owed you and me more, who is willing to explain why, a smile has already

The storm has passed...the lyrics are so great," Lin Zhixiang said secretly.

"Live happily and don't hold grudges."

Sing a song for today’s laughter

Let your mind absorb new happiness

Open your heart in the evening breeze"

He sang the climax acapella along with the score, and the more he sang, the more he liked it.

During this period, he has experienced a lot. Since three years ago, Huayi has refused to give him resources. The industry is not optimistic about him, and merchants are not optimistic about him either. How many cold looks and ridicules he has suffered, it is estimated that only

He knows it himself.

It can be said that it is like a fish drinking water, knowing whether it is cold or warm.

And Wang Xuan composed the song "Laughing at the Storm" for him, which seemed to be a response to what he had experienced during this period. He wanted to tell him that all his previous encounters were over, and in the future he could just sit back and watch the tide.

Get up, look at the situation with a smile, and live a good life every day.

This is why Lin Zhixiang doesn't like this song.

Gu Li

Lin Zhixiang's singing skills are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary people. When recording this song, it only took one hour to complete. The effect is simply better than Zheng Shaoqiu. The boldness, freedom and ease in the song are vividly displayed in Lin Zhixiang's singing.

Wang Xuan made the finished product. Li Tao and Zhu Xu gave a thumbs up after listening to the finished product.

"Awesome! I thought Brother Xiang could only sing songs with a weak voice, but I didn't expect Brother Xiang to sing such a tender song." Li Tao said.

Yes, although the lyrics of "Laughing at the Storm" are very bold and free, its melody is tender and its singing style is also tender. The free and easy lyrics and the tenderness of the melody should be very contradictory, but here.

But the combination is perfect in the song.

As for the iron lung singer Lin Zhixiang, he can only sing songs that strain his voice. That is definitely the biggest misunderstanding of Lin Zhixiang from the outside world. Lin Zhixiang's voice is bold, heroic, and extremely impactful. When he sings, it seems that he is howling in every song.

He roars, sparing no effort, and his energy reaches the sky.

This kind of singing method can easily give fans and audiences the illusion that Lin Zhixiang can only sing songs that require a lot of effort on his voice, and sing heroic songs. But in fact, Lin Zhixiang's voice may be more effective if he sings tender and sweet songs.

It takes lives.

In another time and space, there was also a king of iron lung singers similar to Lin Zhixiang. The song "Choice" he sang with his wife on the same stage was regarded as a classic by countless people and infected countless people.

"Choice" is a very tender song, and the tenderness and sweetness in it are enough to melt countless people.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Xuan composed the song "Laughing at the Storm" for Lin Zhixiang. He planned to use this song to hit the new song chart in July and announce the return of the Iron Lung Singer.

In fact, Wang Xuan has carefully investigated Lin Zhixiang's experiences in recent years, and he has a very clear understanding of the reasons for his decline.

Huayi wasted Lin Zhixiang's talent.

A singer like Lin Zixiang with such a voice is actually more suitable for singing Cantonese songs. What he is best at is Cantonese songs. As a result, there are not many songwriters at Huayi who are good at Cantonese songs.

After Lin Zhixiang signed with Huayi, Huayi released several Mandarin albums for him. Lin Zhixiang was still very popular in the first few years, but that was all an illusion, and he was taking advantage of Lin Zhixiang's previous capital.

After eating up his capital, Lin Zhixiang's popularity quickly declined. But in fact, this is also an illusion. If Huayi knew to change its thinking and spent heavily on Lin Zhixiang to create a few Cantonese songs of good quality, Lin Zhixiang's popularity would definitely recover quickly.

Lin Zhixiang is still Lin Zhixiang, the popular Lin Zhixiang.

It's a pity that Huayi couldn't understand and thought that Lin Zhixiang was dead, so he actually gave up on him. This allowed Tianhai to take advantage. Let's see, after this song "Laughing at the Storm", Lin Zhixiang's popularity will definitely skyrocket.

After some time, Wang Xuan filmed "Once Upon a Time" and sang the "Once Upon a Time" theme song "Men Should Be Strong" to Lin Zhixiang. At that time, Lin Zhixiang was truly in his prime, even more popular than he was at his peak.

Huayi had no place to cry.

Those in the industry who ridicule Tianhai should just slap themselves in the face.
