The film and television industry, in the eyes of outsiders, is a relatively muddy world.

However, as a content production industry, it's actually pretty fair.

Whether it is in the investment, shooting, distribution stage, or how to make the means, as long as the film is released and is oriented to the audience, the quality is clear at a glance. Word of mouth is not something you can do by relying on means.

Therefore, including Guo Yunfan, Mr. Xiao Ke, and the entire Tang Dynasty Film and Television, the next thing is to pay more attention to the next film reviews about "The End of the World" on the Internet.

After reporting to Mr. Ke, Guo Yunfan returned to his office and began to make a call to Lin Bao: "Hey, Brother Bao, what are you doing?"

Lin Bao's voice came from the opposite side: "This side of the studio." ”

"Haha, you got the box office data!"

Guo Yunfan said with a smile, "88 million, I got all the box office that I could get on the first day!"

"Well, that's good. ”

Lin Bao smiled, "To have such a premiere box office, I still have to thank you, and Tang Film and Television helped promote and distribute it before!"

"Don't don't, don't be, to be able to get such praise from the whole network as now, it's all because the quality of your movie itself is too strong!"

Guo Yunfan said a little embarrassed, "On the contrary, the film is scheduled here, Mr. Xiao Ke and I have talked about it before, and in the next few days, I will use the relationship on the Tang side to help the movie fight for more box office!"

"Good. ”

"By the way, Brother Bao, are you free tomorrow? I'm going to the Demon Capital tomorrow to talk to you. ”

Guo Yunfan said.

"Tomorrow? I may not be in the Demon Capital tomorrow. ”

Lin Bao said.

"No, that's fine, I'll wait until you get back. ”

Guo Yunfan nodded, "It's not a rush." ”

In fact, he wanted to talk to Lin Bao about some cooperation issues about the book "A Song of Ice and Fire" that he was now serializing.

This "Song of Ice and Fire" Lin Bao has been continuously updated, and now there are more than 200,000 words and almost 300,000 words.

Guo Yunfan himself has read the content of hundreds of thousands of words in detail, and he has also specially asked some screenwriters of Tang Ren to help him read it.

I think that Lin Bao's book, in terms of adaptation value, is actually very high like "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars".

Judging from the fact that he has produced several popular film and television dramas, this is definitely a big project.

He also knew that Lin Bao's ambition for this book was definitely not small.

So I thought about talking to Lin Bao to see if there was an opportunity to do some copyright development and cooperation.

However, since Lin Bao had something, he could only wait for a later opportunity to find an opportunity.

Music Square.

In the recording studio on the fifth floor, Lin Bao hung up the phone, and then went downstairs.

"Farewell My Concubine" was released, the box office of the premiere was good, and the entire word-of-mouth comments on the Internet were also very popular.

He was relieved.

Although he himself doesn't care much about the box office or the comments of netizens, in fact, this movie is responsible for the task of promoting the inheritance of opera at home and even abroad. In the Opera Association, many old gentlemen are also looking forward to it, hoping to rely on such a movie to use the most popular way for young people to start to truly appreciate the true meaning of opera.

And now that the whole movie is out, the effect is expected, and Lin Bao's task is completed. After that, "Farewell My Concubine" continued to be released, and the film was scheduled, including some linkages with the Opera Association later, and the publicity was handed over to Zheng Rong and the studio.

And next, one of the things Lin Bao has to do is to form a folk music band.

That is, what I agreed with Uncle Erhu Li Fugui before.

He and his old friends who had walked the streets and alleys in their hometown and formed a peasant band were re-assembled, and then carried out some creative publicity under the auspices of Lin Bao's studio, as a means and channel for Lin Bao to promote folk music throughout the country in the future.

Originally, I discussed it with Li Fugui and Wang Guifen a few months ago, but because I still needed to let the two old men contact those old friends one by one, secondly, it was just time for the promotion of the movie "Farewell My Concubine", and Lin Bao wanted to go to the event with him, so he put it on hold for the time being.

Now that the movie has been released, Lin Bao began to contact Li Fugui and began to prepare.

First of all, he still has to gather his old friends and go to the Modu Music Plaza.

Before, they and a few old friends were in contact one by one by phone, for such a thing, although those old friends did not immediately refuse, but there were also some hesitations, so, next, Lin Bao was going to go to his hometown with Li Fugui to talk to those old musicians in person.

Coming down from the upper floor, they entered the barbecue restaurant, where Yuan Koi and the others were busy preparing ingredients.

Seeing Lin Bao come in, several people were immediately happy.

"Boss Bao'er, the premiere is 88 million, you know!"

"Yes, yes. ”

"There is also a Douban score, 9.5, and now on the Internet, the comments have exploded! All-round praise! But anyone who is sad and wants to deliberately smear will be washed away by the way!

"Really, it's not that exaggerated......

"Of course! I heard Aunt Rong say that although "The End of the World" is 150 million, the reputation and attendance rate are very low, so it is very likely that the next schedule of "Farewell My Concubine" will be further expanded!

"What a billion! At least two billion! It's only eight thousand eight on the first day, and it's going to be even higher after that!"

"Boss Bao'er will be a famous director in China in the future!"

"Haha, if you can win an award abroad, you will be an internationally renowned director!"

"Why do you feel that you two names have a weird feeling?"

......

Looking at the front of him, several girls were chattering, and Lin Bao also smiled helplessly.

After a few of them calmed down, he looked at Yang Xing over there and said, "Brother Yang, I may have to leave the Demon Capital for a few days in the future, so I will trouble Brother Yang to take a few of them to take care of the house!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Yang Xing smiled.

"Boss Bao'er, are you leaving the magic capital?"

"No, I didn't tell Mr. Li that I would help them form a folk music band. So, I'm going to take a plane to my teacher's hometown and visit a few other teachers. ”

Lin Bao said.

"Wow, boss Bao'er, you really want Uncle Erhu and them to form a band!"

Yuan Koi had some surprise on his face.

She didn't mean anything.

Rather, if Li Fugui and his old friends form a band, then the average age of their band is probably the highest among all bands in China!

It's nothing.

The point is that some peasant musicians who are born in farmers and only perform in the countryside form a new band, and then under the guidance of the boss of Bao'er, it will definitely become popular on the Internet soon.

Li Fugui has a lot of popularity on the Internet now, if he follows to form a band, this month's band, whether it is the strength pointed out by Lin Bao or its own gimmick, is very high.

Yuan Koi was already able to imagine that picture.

In the live broadcast room of Bao'er's boss, several old uncles wearing peasant clothes and straw hats sat in the field playing folk music. This news and picture, once put on the Internet, will definitely go viral in an instant.

You see, in Douyin, many similar craftsmen, and even migrant workers, will gain a lot of fans and viewers because of some more distinctive life and work routines.

"I can't wait to see Boss Bo'er form this uncle-level band!"

"That's it, I think it looks good when I think about it! Moreover, with the strength of the boss of Bao'er, writing a few new songs for them to match the folk music instruments will definitely be a hit!"

"Haha, now they are all eighteen-year-old trainees debut! Bao'er boss is going to form a sixty-year-old uncle's 'trainee' debut!"

"Hahaha!"

Several other girls also said happily.

Lin Bao chatted with them for a while, saw that the time was almost up, and then went out, drove to Li Fugui's house, picked him up, and went to Modu International Airport together, got on the plane, and flew to their hometown.

Li Fugui's hometown is also in the Central Plains, and Lin Bao's hometown is a neighboring province, in fact, like many traditional folk music in China, are sourced and prevalent in the Central Plains, some provinces and cities in the northwest.

The suona waist drum on the yellow earth and the erhu Taiping drum walking the streets and alleys are the memories of people in that era.

Even now, in addition to the cultivation and inheritance of some associations, there are still many active folk music artists in the folk and rural areas, including private folk bands.

Li Fugui and his old buddies, more than ten years ago, were a private band. They don't have agents or anything, just a few old friends who know each other, form themselves together, walk the streets and alleys to perform, and pay directly with those masters.

More than 10 years ago, in the Shili Baxiang area, where their city is located, their small private band was very famous, even worse than some local official folk bands.

The appearance fee is naturally the highest among those private bands.

It is precisely by virtue of such good craftsmanship and fame that the old guys of several bands have also saved a lot of money in those years, provided for their sons and daughters, went to college, and entered the unit.

Like Li Fugui, basically a few old guys back then were either in the village to support the elderly, or live with the children in other places, and now, among the few people, only one is still in the local regional troupe to catch up with some behind-the-scenes work. However, it is also basically the stage of retirement.

And he was also the first thing Lin Bao and they were looking for.

Out of the local airport, according to the address given by the other party, Lin Bao, Li Fugui and Wang Guifen took a taxi and went straight to the place where the regional troupe was located.

"Hey, Lao Qin, we're rushing to the regional troupe now! Are you in the troupe now? Okay, okay, I think it's estimated that there will be about ten minutes left, and we'll be at the door." Okay, the development is also there, right, you call him too, yes, just say that it is Mr. Lin Bao from the magic capital who came over...... Okay, you just stay in the regiment, and when we get there, just go straight to the doorman! Okay, that's right, we'll be there right away. ”

In the car, Li Fugui directly called his old friend Qin Jinhong.

After closing it, he looked at Lin Bao and said with a smile: "Lao Qin is like this, his son Qin Kaifa is actually the management and secretary general of our local troupe, so he has been staying in the troupe." When he called him before, he basically agreed, and his son also agreed, that is, he wanted to meet in person and talk about some detailed things. ”

Lin Bao nodded: "Okay, then wait for Mr. Li to introduce me." ”

"No problem. ”

The two were chatting, and the car had already arrived outside the regional troupe.

In the car, Lin Bao saw two figures standing at the door of the troupe.

After getting out of the car, Li Fugui looked at the two people over there, and greeted directly: "Old Qin!"

"Lao Li, here. ”

Among the two figures, one of the middle-aged men looked at them, smiled and waved his hand.

"Development is also coming. ”

Li Fugui looked at a young man in his thirties next to him, "Come on, come on, let me introduce you first, Teacher Lin Bao, you have also seen it on TV." ”

"Of course I did! Teacher Lin Bao's name is like thunder!"

Qin Kaifa looked at Lin Bao, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him warmly.

Although Qin Jinhong next to him usually doesn't watch some hot news on the Internet, his son also told him in detail about the influence of this twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young man in China, so he also shook hands with Lin Bao very carefully: "Teacher Lin Bao, welcome!"

"Two teachers. ”

Lin Bao also looked at them with a smile, "This time I suddenly came to disturb me, and I hope the two teachers don't be surprised!"

"Teacher Lin Bao, you are so polite!"

Qin Jinhong said, "In this way, Teacher Lin Bao, Lao Li, let's go to the restaurant over there, develop a table of dishes, let's go there, and chat while eating! You have been on the plane all morning, and you must be hungry by now!"

"That's right, I'm a little hungry!"

Li Fugui said with a smile.

When he returned to his hometown and saw these old friends, he seemed to be much more relaxed than before, and he talked more unconsciously.

......

Inside the private room of the hotel.

After the four of them sat down, Qin Kaifa first spoke: "Teacher Lin Bao, I have watched the comments on the Internet for the past two days, and it is very good! The box office has also sold high! When it was released on the first day, I watched it, it was so exciting! I don't have a good understanding of this aspect, and I can't say some professional terms, but after watching it, it really shocked me! Teacher Lin Bao, you are amazing!"

Lin Bao also smiled and waved his hand.

"I see that in the past two days, the tickets have been sold out?"

Qin Kaifa said again, "Originally, I was thinking of ordering one for my dad today, he should be interested in this subject, and I will watch it again with him." However, when I went to the cinema in the area in the morning, I even sold out the movie tickets for the day after tomorrow!

"Yes, yes, Lao Qin, let me tell you, you should go watch this movie by Teacher Lin Bao, it's very good!"

Li Fugui next to him also began to sell.

Qin Jinhong said with a smile: "Okay, after that, when I have a chance, I'll go to the cinema to have a look." However, I haven't seen anything about the movie, and I don't know much about it, so I can't comment on it. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, let's just contribute a movie ticket to Mr. Lin Bao!"

Qin Kaifa said.

"Eh, what's that, if you can't buy it here in the area, you'll be in the magic capital in two days, and you can go there to see it. ”

Li Fugui shouted.

Seeing the topic of this, Qin Jinhong immediately said: "Lao Li, Mr. Lin Bao, what did you say before about forming a band, and what is the specific situation?"
