Chapter 320: Painstaking Thoughts
The dinner for two people is in a very beautiful Jiangsu and Zhejiang restaurant, which belongs to the time-honored brand in Kyoto, has been open for many years, and the flavor is very unique, although it is not Lu Manqing's favorite cuisine, but once in a while, it is also quite sweet.
Of course, the important thing is not how delicious the dishes are, but the feeling of having dinner with Gu Yan, the two of them reunited, naturally they have a lot to say, talk about work, talk about daily life, talk about interesting things happening around them, the two have countless topics, and there is always a wonderful tacit understanding between ideas and opinions.
Lu Manqing thinks that this may be the so-called fit, chatting with his beloved, without too much explanation, without endless words, as long as a word, a look, the other party can understand, this feels really good.
After a dinner, the two of them ate comfortably and chatted happily, and after the end, the two found a more private theater to enjoy a movie that only belonged to the two of them, and then went home hand in hand.
Lu Manqing rested for another day, accompanied Gu Yan to work, had a meeting, had lunch, and then went back to the old house to have dinner with the second elder, and stayed in the old house for the night by the way.
In the past two days, Gu Yan also mentioned to Lu Manqing that he wanted to develop products overseas, and Lu Manqing naturally supported it with both hands.
Not to mention the official problem of inspection standards in different countries, it is in this acceptance and popularity that Huaguo has been poisoned by other countries' products, regardless of whether the domestic products are good or bad, the number of people who recognize them is always limited, and even when they see it, subconsciously, they will give the domestic products a label that is not at ease.
If the products of the story can really go abroad and enter Europe and the United States, it will be a very major turning point and change, which is enough to reverse the perception of domestic products in the world and even the Chinese people themselves.
Lu Manqing even put forward a lot of suggestions from the perspective of women and consumers, many of which were adopted by Gu Yan and brought to the meeting for discussion, which also injected some fresh inspiration into the entire project team.
It is already certain that Gu's products will go abroad, and Lu Manqing has unceremoniously taken all the endorsements of men's products, even the advertisements and endorsements of women's products that need to be co-produced, Lu Manqing has not let go.
Their own artists have a good image and good temperament, Ren Xiangyang and Ji Mo also have fame and popularity abroad, compared to asking European and American stars to endorse at a high price, it is better to use their own artists, Chinese products, Chinese artists, perfect match.
After a short break, Lu Manqing did not forget to give his artists a notice, and after resuming his work status, Lu Manqing checked the progress of Ye Xiangqi's new album and the ratings of the new drama of the mythological combination for the first time.
On Ye Xiangqi's side, all the songs have been recorded, a total of ten songs, all of which are Ye Xiangqi's originals, and what is even more peculiar is that these ten songs describe Ye Xiangqi's mental journey in five different stages, and it sounds like a very special feeling.
From the initial anger, despair, and discouragement, to the expectation, and the joy of rebirth, from the trough of life, to standing up again, these songs are full of Ye Xiangqi's past and record all his sorrows and joys.
The name of the album, Ye Xiangqi very simply set two words, "Journey", in Ye Xiangqi's words, this time, for him, is a very wonderful journey, recording a very important stage in his life, worthy of his lifelong recall.
He hopes that through his album, people at any stage of their lives can hear it, find resonance, and then cheer up, take these sad past as a journey, and don't forget to appreciate and record the difficult scenery along the way.
For this new album, Ye Xiangqi put a lot of thought into it, and Lu Manqing was also unambiguous, giving the greatest support from beginning to end, and now the album has reached the final stage, only need to tune the recorded songs, and then record the master tape, and print and package it in large quantities, even if it is completed.
This section of the process will take about a month, that is to say, from now on, the promotion of the new album will be put on the agenda, fortunately, Lu Manqing's team has already been quite skilled in operating these, and after the work is explained, Lu Manqing only needs to be responsible for the checks.
And the ratings of the new drama of the mythical group are quite gratifying, and it has successfully broken one on the eve of the Golden Melody Awards, and now it has broken through one point and five, climbing to the third place in the ratings list, which is already quite a good result for an idol drama.
In this drama, the Sea Emperor also makes a lot of money, just an idol drama, the investment is really pitiful, and the overall shooting cost is not high, most of the filming groups performed some clips, Lu Manqing simply chose to shoot the scene, that is, to record the real performance content of the mythological combination directly, just slightly modify the dubbing in the later stage, and deal with the shouts of the fans on the spot.
In this way, the shooting cost has been greatly compressed, counting some product placement advertisements, the shooting cost of this drama is really very low, but the harvest is quite huge.
Lime Satellite TV purchased the premiere rights to spend a lot of money, and Penguin Video also spent a lot of money in order to buy the broadcast rights of the online platform, although this show only has 28 episodes, but the price of each episode is quite expensive, and the return on investment is so high that it is also staggering.
The ratings of this drama have far exceeded Lu Manqing's expectations, which made Lu Manqing can't help but move the mind of continuing to let the mythical group develop in film and television, but in the end, Lu Manqing still relied on his strong perseverance to adhere to the established route of the mythical group, the music scene is their main venue, and film and television dramas are occasionally okay, but it is really not a long-term plan.
After all, it is impossible for every drama to have six big boys participate in the filming at the same time, but if their combination is dismantled, it will definitely affect the unity of fans over time, and it may also make them think of flying solo.
There is no need to count some other troublesome places one by one, it is certain that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, Lu Manqing must not do such a self-destructive signboard, so that the second album of Mythology will also be prepared.
What's more, Ling Jingtian's new drama is about to be filmed, "Three Lives and Three Worlds" is the TV series that the Sea Emperor has invested in this year, the highest investment, plus the large investment given by Ling Jingtian's company, it can be said that the consumption is quite huge.
Of course, after the filming of this drama is completed, there are a lot of episodes, Lu Manqing preliminarily estimated, how can it be about sixty episodes, with the mythical combination of this drama first, now all David TV and video playback websites have begun to contact Sea Emperor, and people who want to buy the broadcast rights have come one after another, and the prices given have continued to rise.
Now no one doubts the works produced by Lu Manqing anymore, whether it is a variety show, an album or a film and television drama, as long as it is something taken out by Lu Manqing's team, it is really applauded and applauded, so that people can't even find a tenable reason to doubt it.
After combing through the work of his own artists, Lu Manqing didn't wait to breathe a sigh of relief, and the office door was knocked.
"Come in. Lu Manqing quickly stretched and soothed his nerves.
Immediately, the office door was pushed open, and Ying Tao stood at the door, "Boss, Qu Yiyi wants to see you." Ying Tao's face was expressionless, but Lu Manqing was already more and more familiar with her, and at this time, she could naturally see that her brows were slightly twisted, and she seemed to be a little impatient.
Raising his eyebrows, Lu Manqing waved his hand, "Let her come in, you go and get busy with yours." ”
"Good. Ying Tao simply responded, and after letting Qu Yiyi in sideways, he closed the door of Lu Manqing's office, and Lu Manqing only then did his eyes fall on Qu Yiyi.
She almost forgot about this little girl, which is also her fault, but Lu Manqing felt that her attitude was also obvious, but obviously, Qu Yiyi didn't receive it.
"Sister Lu, I'm sorry to disturb you. Qu Yiyi said, Lu Manqing's eyes quickly looked at her, the pink dress, with small blue flowers falling on it, was exceptionally pure and delicate, full of girlishness, Qu Yiyi was white and slender, very suitable for such a fresh and tender color.
"It's okay, you can say it. Lu Manqing motioned for Qu Yiyi to sit down on the sofa, but she didn't mean to move, and still did it behind the desk.
"Sister Lu, I want to sign under you and become your artist. Qu Yiyi's eyes were bright, and she looked at Lu Manqing fixedly, full of courage.
"Qu Yiyi. Lu Manqing was a little helpless, "I remember I said, I don't bring female artists, why don't you tell me, I have experienced the Golden Melody Awards with our team, and I have seen my artists busy like spinning tops, are you sure you still want to be an artist?"
"Oh yes, you may not know much about the entertainment industry, what you see is the situation of male artists, why don't I arrange for you to see the state of some female artists, this circle is not good, your brother has a lot of schedules and is very busy, and he can't take care of you much at all, the identity of Captain Myth's sister can attract some attention for you as an amateur, yes, but this can't help you become popular. ”
"Although your voice is sweet, there are too many such voices in this circle, and female artists also have high requirements for appearance, I really don't recommend you to enter this circle, if you like the stage, like the feeling of being on the stage, I heard your brother say, you play the piano well, it's better to major in piano, and be a beautiful pianist, isn't it good?"
Lu Manqing can be said to be bitter, if this is not Qu Xiao's sister, Lu Manqing will never have such patience, I just hope that Qu Yiyi listens and does not waste her hard work......
