Chapter 45: The Road to Success

After a lapse of more than two months, Li Qian finally returned to Shuntian Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The familiar room, the familiar atmosphere of the city, the familiar teapot, the familiar cigar, the familiar pillow person, all of these made Li Qian relax quickly.

Of course, this is only a short week of relaxation time for him.

"Huang Feihong" was completed over there, and the company here had already sent people to Qingzhou Mansion to check the growth of sorghum.

If there are no accidents, "Red Sorghum" will be officially launched in early September.

And even if he returned to Shuntianfu, for him, it was only a short rest, in fact, it was impossible to completely relax and rest.

The second season of "Super Girl" is in full swing, you have to pay attention, Zhao He has already started to prepare for "Youth Bao Qingtian", and you should also care about it, Jin Han is cutting "Full House of Romance", this should be even more concerned!

Then, Ming Xiaojing came over to talk to the screenwriters of the company about the script every day recently, and when he learned that Li Qian was back, he would naturally pull him over to listen to it and come up with ideas......

Knowing that he had finished filming, Wang Jinglu took the time to rush back to Shuntianfu despite being very busy, ready to accompany him for two days before leaving, Liao Liao repeatedly called and asked him if he could find time to come out, the two could meet in France, Zhou Yan and his son want to accompany, He Runqing's belly is already very big, and he wants to accompany him, Xie Bing has been making an album recently, and he wants to help her listen to it and check it, Wang Jingxue is also making an album......

Of course, this level of busyness is obviously not at the same level as the energy that must be concentrated at all times and the energy required to hold the dozens or hundreds of people in the whole crew.

Therefore, it is the right to rest.

…………

Li Qian finally found time to watch "Thorn Qin".

It was Wang Jinglu who accompanied him.

After returning to Shuntianfu, Wang Jinglu changed out of her standard OL suit, so she suddenly changed from a standard workplace beauty to the youthful beauty she should have at her age.

It's just that...... The experience and hard work of the last half a year have completely disappeared the little baby fat on her face, which was originally very cute!

Even though she is still young and invincible, she has a touch of maturity and capable temperament in her whole person.

After watching the movie, Li Qian's personal evaluation of this film was acceptable, Wang Jinglu happily ate half a bucket of popcorn, and was in a good mood, and then found a place that sold rice noodles, one person asked for a rice noodle, ate with great interest, and chatted casually about this movie, Wang Jinglu also said: "When we were sophomores, the teacher specially analyzed some famous directors in China over the years, including Du Weiyun, and when I watched his new film this time, I felt that I understood a lot more than before!"

Li Qian nodded while eating rice noodles, and said casually: "This is the skill of a top director, you only look at the outer layer, it's very good-looking, if you have that appreciation ability, look deeper, there can still be something!

Wang Jinglu nodded with a smile, and then said, "You must make a better film for me in the future!"

Li Qian smiled, "This one is not good, this one is a purely commercial movie, I want to use it to make stars, and I hope to promote the concept of 'Chinese kung fu' to the outside world, and it is also necessary to facilitate someone in the future to take over and make a sequel...... I'm sure I'll be able to shoot something better than him!"

Wang Jinglu smiled and nodded fiercely.

…………

After having lunch together, the two parted, Wang Jinglu sent Li Qian back to the company, and then went straight to the airport - the big news department she was in charge of has been thriving recently, and she is wrestling with the other two portals, if she didn't want to come back to accompany Li Qian for two days, she would be reluctant to leave.

When Li Qian returned to the company, he also told the assistant not to let anyone disturb him in the afternoon.

Because, he's going to start working on the papers.

Although Qi Jie is the general manager of the company, she has always been responsible for more than 90% of the company's tedious affairs, but after all, Li Qian is the boss, even if it does not involve professional things, he is always used to doing some understanding before and after the event, so as to help him fully grasp the dynamics of the entire company, and plan the direction of the entire company - to a certain extent, in today's Minghu culture, it is important for Li Qian to shoot a blockbuster drama, but the directional things are definitely more important!

Since the first half of this year, until recently, the operation of Minghu Culture has been as brilliant as ever!

Although "Super Girl" lost its original first mentor He Runqing, Cao Zhan, Zhen Zhen and Feng Feifei were still enough to control the scene. Wait until next year, out of consideration of freshness, Cao Zhan and Zhen Zhen will go down, and when the time comes, He Runqing, who can't be idle, will come back, plus you can invite Liu Mingliang's eldest brother to come over to sit down, and at that time, He Runqing, Feng Feifei and Liu Mingliang will be a very beautiful and high-grade combination.

As for the future...... The vitality of any variety show is limited.

Although judging from this year's situation, the show "Super Girl" can still have vitality for several years, and even sit second in the ratings of domestic variety shows in three or two years, second only to the Spring Festival Gala, there is still not much pressure.

The ratings inertia brought about by last year's explosive ratings, the popularity accumulated by the "Super Girl" performance team's continuous national tour in the past year, and Xie Lili, Lin Xianjun and Yang Jinye, the three signature characters of "Super Girl", have successively released albums and singles, and the popularity has not faded.

So, good times, there can be some time.

Of course, it is certain that it will go downhill, and Li Qian doesn't expect to continue to make money just by relying on this one show.

In fact, the advertising money earned in last year and this year alone is more than enough to support a company as big as Minghu Culture. The revenue from record sales, performance revenue, advertising revenue, etc., brought by the discovered talents, is even more pure earning!

Then, even if you can make money for another two years and stop the show, it's already an absolutely successful, glittering business success story - textbook level!

Well, in terms of records, because Li Qian has been focusing on this area for many years, he has a good understanding of the company's singers, musicians, songwriters, producers, etc., and he has absolute trust in Xie Mingyuan's ability, not to mention, almost every album of these singers has songs written by him, and he is also responsible for personally checking the last pass before the listing, so it is not a big problem.

Although the free dissemination of songs in electronic format on the Internet has been repeatedly killed by the government authorities, it is far less rampant than the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, but it still has a huge impact on the sales of the entire record market. The shrinkage of the overall capacity of the market will inevitably lead to the reduction of all singers and all record sales - the golden period of the music industry in the past ten years is gradually coming to an end.

The response strategy of Minghu Culture is to actively cooperate with the government to crack down on piracy and online communication, and second, proposed by Li Qian, led by Qi Jie and Xie Mingyuan. Electronic enterprise negotiations, hoping to be able to jointly develop a professional portable music player by the two parties, one can be used to enter the real field, expand the business scope of Minghu culture itself, and the other is better than sparse, since the tide of the times is surging, powerless to stop, then simply put yourself in it, take the lead out of the first step to explore the legitimate channel of online music.

However, it is said that Sony in Japan and Apple in the United States are also in the process of making similar research and development, and it is difficult to say how far this matter will go in the end.

Of course, even if you lose it, it's nothing, at best, you can't drink the first soup, judging from the trend of the development of the times, as long as this thing can be done in the end, it basically can't be lost, at best, it's just a matter of making more and making less, and even if it doesn't work out in the end - the investment amount of the two joint ventures is only 50 million, and Minghu Culture only took 20 million out, and it's a big deal to lose it, and there will be no damage.

Then, well, Sun Ruoxuan's "Ruoxuan is Coming" has already begun to make a profit, and its influence has always been steadily rising, and it is currently considered to be popular, Liu Chengzhang's "Sword Immortal", Du Weiyun's "Thorn Qin", etc., before they were released, they all had to record a program for publicity, which shows the current status of this show.

Therefore, it doesn't need Li Qian to worry about it.

And although Sun Ruoxuan's ambition has risen recently, a few years ago, Li Qian spent half a day writing a plan for her, and she was fed at once - "Ruoxuan is Coming" is the top talk show in China, which can make her, the host, laugh and scold in the show, and become a top celebrity in China for a while, and as the director and producer of "Happy Camp", she can taste the pleasure brought by power, not to mention that there are still a few months of "Super Girl" every year that needs her to appear!

No matter how ambitious, energetic, and ambitious Sun Ruoxuan is, these three jobs are enough to exhaust her half to death!

It is even said that Huaxia TV is discussing whether to let her join the host group of the Spring Festival Gala -- of course, in Li Qian's view, it is better not to count on this matter! After all, a big yamen like Huaxia TV Station is counting on it to give the position of host of the Spring Festival Gala, which symbolizes the status of the host of the hosting industry, to a host who is in Cao Ying's heart in Han...... A long shot!

And then, well, the company's personnel problems have not changed much, and Qi Jie will definitely check it, Li Qian just glanced at the information of those people, and knew it in his heart, that is.

Finally, of course, it is the direction of film and television that Minghu Culture is currently trying to shift the focus of its work.

Yuan Dacheng's "Scars" has been completed, Bai Yujing is naturally idle again, she almost took on another TV series in the second half of the year, and then it was like that, she couldn't touch a good script, she would rather be idle, anyway, if the money is enough to spend, if it is not enough to spend, she will find Li Qian to take the money to spend - she is one of the current pillars of the company, and she is one of the few big Tsing Yi in the film and television industry, even if she makes a film in two years, even if Li Qian privately sticks money for her to spend, it is worth it. Because of her, Minghu Culture has flag-bearers in the area of actresses.

Although in fact, with Li Qian's current connections, only one Ming Xiaojing is enough for Minghu Culture not to be stuck at a critical moment, but on the other hand, even if Bai Yujing takes on two dramas a year, she is actually making a lot of money for the company and herself!

is still the same sentence, a "Legend of the New White Lady" is enough for her to eat for many years! The follow-up drama, even if it is not brilliant, her popularity, her status in the rivers and lakes, and her commercial value are still very high!

And if nothing else, as soon as "Princess Huanzhu Princess" is broadcast, the pair of the queen mother and Mama Rong are estimated to become popular immediately! As far as Li Qian's judgment is concerned, by that time, Bai Yujing's status as a big Tsing Yi and the recognition she has received in acting skills will definitely go to the next level!

By that time, she will be both righteous and evil, and it is estimated that she will be much more sought-after than now!

And then...... Well, "The Door of Life and Death" is still filming, and "Plan B" is also filming! And at the same time, as the heroine of these two big productions, He Yingyu is so busy that she flies, and it is said that she has not been back to school for more than half a year!

Originally, such a thing would never be tolerated by Master Qin Wei Qin!

However, when it comes to Zheng Zhongyuan's play, the heroine must be a vase, what He Yingyu needs to do is just brush her face, the role is less than that of a normal heroine, and the grinding and requirements for acting skills are not high, so she can take half a month off from "The Door of Life and Death", and run to "Plan B", she can catch up with a lot of progress at once, and coincidentally, there are many roles in "The Door of Life and Death", although He Yingyu is the heroine, but on the whole, the role is also diluted by many strong supporting roles!

Second, He Yingyu is smart! A girl who is very good at being a person and doing things!

Although Qin Wei will still be dissatisfied with the fact that she is running around the scene, firstly, this girl is well-behaved and can do things, and secondly, as long as she comes back, she can always use the fastest speed to get back to her state in "The Gate of Life and Death", so after coming and going, even Master Qin, who has the strictest conventions on the set, has turned a blind eye.

In addition, Zhu Qiang's role in "The Gate of Life and Death" has ended, and he has just signed a contract for a TV series - in this matter, he has the same problem as Bai Yujing, his acting skills have been recognized, and his popularity is also very strong, but because it started as a TV series, there will be fewer film appointments, especially good film contracts, and most of the blockbuster productions are not the protagonists!

Therefore, if she is as red as Bai Yujing, she is also the heroine of a small-investment literary film like "Scars", and if she is as popular as Zhu Qiang, if she goes to make a movie, she can only play a supporting role in "The Door of Life and Death"!

To solve this problem, in fact, it is also easy, you only need to come up with a movie with enough box office weight to prove that they still have enough box office appeal in the movie, which is enough to hold them up!

It's just that...... Li Qian can't spare his hands for the time being!

Well, in fact, he has another way, and that is ...... Learn from Zhou Zhiyu!

After filming "My Sassy Girlfriend", even "My Sassy Girlfriend" has become popular, and Zhou Zhiyu himself has become popular, but he actually turned his head and went back and continued to act in dramas!

On the one hand, his reputation has been pulled up all of a sudden, on the other hand, he has successfully become the pillar of the repertory troupe, and as long as he appears in the drama, the demand for performance tickets will always be in short supply!

And even so, at least for a year or two, it will not affect his income from advertising and endorsements for the time being!

Look, he's just waiting patiently for his next chance with fame and fortune!

And then...... Well, "Princess Huanzhu" is about to start broadcasting!

In this year's production and filming plan, Li Qian's "Red Sorghum" will start shooting next, and after Jin Han completes the editing and post-production of "Full House", he will start preparing his new film, "Peacock".

As the most experienced of the directors of Minghu Culture, Zhao He has been in Minghu Culture for nearly two years, and finally got his first opportunity to direct, what he wants to shoot is to maximize the star effect brought by the hit "Princess Huanzhu" - "Youth Bao Qingtian".

And Han Shunzhang, who has been idle at home for more than a month, is usually just responsible for handling the daily affairs of the film and television department, and is about to get busy, and next, he is going to be a producer for Zhao He's "Young Bao Qingtian". As soon as "Young Bao Qingtian" ends, he will shoot the first work in his life that is really a director - it is also a TV series, and it is also a work that maximizes the popularity of several actors who will become popular in "Princess Huanzhu", "Deep Love and Rain".

If there is no accident, starting from the end of this year, a series of TV series launched by Minghu Culture will officially start the journey of dominating the domestic ratings list!

This year's "Princess Returning the Pearl", and "Full House of Romance".

"Youth Bao Qingtian" and "Deep Love" that will already be broadcast in the plan for next year, and there will be at least one or two TV series that will start filming at the beginning of next year and start broadcasting in the second half of the year!

Three or four TV series a year is also the limit of what Minghu culture can bear at present!

This film and television series shooting team, which started with Han Shunzhang and the two of them back then, and was gradually gathered, sorted out and honed by Li Qian, has officially entered a state of full capacity operation since this year!

Specifically, Li Qian is responsible for opening the way, and he is currently focusing on movies!

Jin Han is a TV series after movie, and he comes back to make a TV series after the movie is over - unless his movie is a big hit, and he can make money for the company with the movie!

Then, Zhao He, Han Shunzhang, and even the future Lu Lingxi, Feng Bicheng, Sun Yuting, etc., start with the most commercial TV series, and then transform into movies when they are skilled and kung fu!

So far, this path has been very successful!
