This era is not like the Internet era, through the Internet, you can easily find the real-time data of the movie released in Xiangjiang. 35xs It wasn't until Xinhua News Agency sent a message that Xu Wangqiu didn't know that "Hoe Rape" had achieved a box office of 520,000 in Xiangjiang. However, during this time, Xu Wangqiu was not idle, and has been busy with the preparation of "Falcon".

In the meantime, the Falcon location survey has been completed and the storyboard has begun. During this time, the approval of the General Staff Department and the General Armament Department came down, mobilizing 1 infantry division, 1 tank regiment and 2 howitzer regiments of the Kunming Military Region to participate in the filming of "Hoe Rape".

Xu Wangqiu's eldest brother Xu Wangchuan was also sent to Beiping by Xiuying Studio, but Xu Wangchuan did not participate in the preparation of "Falcon" after arriving in Beiping. Xu Wangqiu gave him a special task, to watch performances in various theaters, and to write down the singers who sang particularly well and were relatively young. Xu Wangqiu did not explain why he did this, but said that it was very important and could only be left to the most trusted people.

Xu Wangchuan had special trust in Xu Wangqiu, and when he saw that he said that it was very important, he cheered up his spirit and only ran around Beiping City. During the day, he searched the city for performances, and at night he went to the show with the tickets he had bought.

At present, the rigid and conservative thinking is still strong, and the cultural field is stubbornly clinging to the thunder pool. Most of the performances are similar to the sports period, and many of the shows are lethargic to watch. However, there are also actors who are trying new things, such as Li Guyi, who is trying to cry and sing.

At noon that day, Xu Wangqiu looked at the list of actors collected by Xu Wangchuan, there were thirty-one in total, many of them were famous musicians in later generations, but now almost all of them are young actors who are not too famous. With this group of people, their own plans can be officially launched. Xu Wangqiu showed a satisfied smile and lowered his voice: "Big brother, let's find a quiet place to talk." ”

Xu Wangchuan knew that the mystery was about to be revealed, so he said, "Okay." ”

The two of them came out of the building, walked to the lotus pond, and found a place to sit. It was already December, and the lotus pond was devoid of pleasing colors, leaving only the pond full of withered brown broken branches and leaves. The cold wind blows on the body, and the cold is blowing. No one wants to stay here for long, and it's a great place to talk about things.

Xu Wangqiu looked at the dead branches in the lotus pond and said slowly: "Big brother, you have been watching the show recently, how do you feel, the performance market is very active, and there are many audiences, right?"

Xu Wangchuan nodded slightly: "There are a lot of audiences, and almost every performance is full." ”

Xu Wangqiu asked again: "How much money is the ticket, how many audiences are there, and how much money can be earned for a performance?"

Xu Wangchuan thought for a while and said: "The tickets for the performances I watch are basically about five cents, the prices are different for different locations, the venues are big and small, and I don't know how much money I can make." ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled: "I asked people to help inquire, the theater and the performance unit are about four or six cents, assuming that there are 1,000 people in a performance and the ticket is five cents, and the performance unit can be divided into 00." If you play three times a day, you can earn 900. This is an ordinary theater performance, but what if it is performed in a stadium of 10,000 people? Even if there are only 15 performances in a month, that's 40,000. If you play it for a year, it will be 540,000. Isn't that right?"

Xu Wangchuan didn't understand why Xu Wangqiu said this, thinking that you are from the film academy, and you will enter the film factory to make movies in the future, and you are not from the conservatory, you will enter the performance unit, why do you care about this, at this moment, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, his face changed instantly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wangqiu, you don't want to make money by performing, right?"

Xu Wangqiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, worthy of being my brother, very discerning, he actually guessed my thoughts, nodded solemnly: "Yes, my idea is that since the performance market is so active now, why can't we organize some actors, organize concerts by ourselves, and take these actors to perform in various regions? 540,000 yuan a year is quite a conservative algorithm, under normal circumstances, as long as it is properly organized, it should not be a problem to earn sixty or seventy a year, or even higher." If we organize a show for actors, it only takes a year or two and we can become millionaires. How about it, would you like to try it?"

At this time when 10,000 yuan households are monopoly, it is absolutely shocking to suddenly hear that there is a way to make millions. However, Xu Wangchuan has been watching various performances recently, and knows that the performance market is very hot, and there are very few performances, if he really engages in this, it is really possible to make a lot of money, so he swallowed his saliva and said: "This is a crime, right?"

Xu Wangqiu stared into Xu Wangchuan's eyes and said slowly: "If it is a private organization of the performance, it is indeed suspected of violating the law." But as long as the performance is hung in the name of a certain unit, it is legal. Let's not talk about this question first, let me ask you, if it is legal, but it may take a little risk, do you dare not do it?"

Xu Wangchuan pondered for two seconds, then nodded firmly: "What don't you dare! It's a big deal to go to jail! Even if I go to jail, there are you and my little sister in the family, so there's nothing to worry about." ”

Xu Wangqiu heard Xu Wangchuan say impassionedly, and comforted with a smile: "There are many ways to make money, such as pounding electronic watches, electronic watches are only two or three yuan in Xiangjiang, and it will be cheaper if they are wholesaled, but in China, it is not a problem to sell them for seven or eight yuan." I have people I know over there in Xiangjiang, and it is not a problem to do this business. However, it is possible that the electronic watch may be considered speculative, and I will definitely not let you do this. You're my brother, and I won't let you do anything that risks going to jail. There is no such risk in organizing a show, at most it is considered a violation of the law, and there will be no jail time. ”

Xu Wangqiu is telling the truth, and the acupuncture point was the most striking cultural and economic phenomenon in the whole of China in the entire 80s. In the early 80s, some smart cultural people saw that the performance was profitable, so they organized celebrities to perform all over the country. At first, the pop singers who participated in the cave walk, and later in the music industry, even the actors couldn't bear it and joined the cave army. Throughout the 80s, it was normal to go to the cave in the literary and artistic world, and it was not normal not to go to the cave.

Going to the cave has made many celebrities get rich quickly and become a high-income class in the entire Chinese society, and it has brought many problems, such as tax evasion by cast and staff, high prices demanded by the acupuncture heads, poor performance quality, etc. In 198, the Ministry of Culture issued a special policy to restrict the walking of acupuncture, but I have never heard of anyone in prison for walking acupuncture.

If there is really a risk of going to jail, then Xu Wangqiu will definitely not let Xu Wangchuan do it.

Xu Wangchuan knew that Xu Wangqiu's brain was extremely flexible and he was extremely safe in doing things, since he said that there was no risk of going to jail, it would definitely not be risky, so he said: "Since you won't go to jail, there's nothing to hesitate about, just say what to do!"

Xu Wangqiu knew that Xu Wangchuan's personality was much calmer because his friend was stabbed to death, but he still didn't change in his bones, and he still dared to take risks, because of this, he would let Xu Wangchuan do this, if it was Zhang Yimou's kind of character, he wouldn't mention it: "I think so, we do a show in the name of Xiuying Studio, and pay a sum of money to Xiuying Studio every year, 100,000 or 200,000 yuan; This matter can be pulled up to Mijia Mountain, and then he will share a benefit. ”

Xu Wangchuan nodded slightly, Mi Jiashan is the second generation of red, and his father is a high-ranking official in the former Rong City, so it is much easier to have him to help.

Xu Wangqiu continued: "I think so, let's have a concert first as a military training. There are several advantages to this, first, after this concert performance, you will know the whole process of the performance very clearly, and when you do it alone, you can quickly get started. Second, it can have an advertising effect, like the audience in Chengdu after seeing the report of the performance, they must also want to watch a similar performance, but they don't have the opportunity to watch it, and now that the performance we organized is coming, the audience will definitely flock to it. Thirdly, we will present a group of new people and songs in this concert, which will make them popular. These people are popular with us, and when we invite them to perform in the future, they will definitely have to give us face. Actors who are not famous will rush to participate in our performances, because we can come up with new songs, and we can make them popular. Even if other people organize private performances, they will definitely not be able to compete with us when they compete for actors!"

Next, Xu Wangqiu began to talk about his idea of the concert, which was actually derived from the concert of the rising stars in the previous life. In 1980, with the popularization of brick-type tape recorders and cassette tapes, people have slowly come into contact with some foreign pop music, and some singers such as Teresa Teng sang songs in a different and tender way. This has brought an incomparably fresh feeling to too many young people who love music. But the pop music scene in the mainland can be said to be blank. The Beijing Evening News, which has just resumed publication, held a new star concert under tremendous pressure and in line with the purpose of "promoting new people and new songs".

On September 2 and 24, 1980, the "Rising Star Concert" was successfully held at the Capital Gymnasium. A group of singers who were still very young at that time used their beautiful singing voices to inject a fresh wind into the Chinese music scene, and since then they have sung a new era. It was through this "Rising Star Concert" that Zhu Mingying, Su Xiaoming, Zheng Xulan and others, who were originally unknown, became popular all over the country overnight. And the songs they sang "Night at the Military Port" and "Young Friends Come to Meet" quickly became the most popular pop songs of the year. The Rising Star Concert sparked a wave of pop music that swept across the country and had a far-reaching impact. Domestic music critics believe that the "Rising Star Concert" officially announced the birth of new Chinese pop music.

In fact, the large-scale cave walking also started with the Rising Star Concert. Before the new star concert, there were caves in China, but it was relatively rare. After the Rising Star Concert, many people saw the sensational effect of the concert and began to wonder, since newspapers can organize such performances, can we also do it?

After listening to Xu Wangqiu's idea, Xu Wangchuan felt that this idea was simply too good. He has watched a lot of performances recently and found that there are many actors who sing well, but these people don't have their own songs and are not famous. If you give them a few good songs, then these people will definitely become popular. But there's a problem: "Where are we going to find songs?"

Xu Wangqiu chuckled: "We invited composers from the song and dance troupe to write some, and I can write too." You forgot that I used to run to Chuanyin, and Professor Li Mian of the Chuanyin Composition Department was beaten as a right/faction and sent down to look at the gate. No one dared to approach him, only I talked to him a lot. He saw that I was interested in music and taught me a lot of music knowledge, so it was not difficult for me to write songs. ”

Xu Wangchuan knew that Xu Wangqiu ran to Chuanyin, and knew that he usually liked to hum some strange songs, but he didn't expect him to write songs: "Since you can write, then things will be easy to do." Then I'll go back to Xiuying Studio directly, and pull Lao Mishan to find the factory leaders. ”

Xu Wangqiu waved his hand and said: "You don't need to find a show studio for the concert, just do it directly in the name of Nortel." I'll go find Teacher Xie Fei, this can be regarded as a thank you gift to him!"
