Chapter 66: Reunion?
23 October 2001. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Jinan Mansion.
Night, half past nine.
IN THE EVENING, LI QIAN, CAO ZHAN, WANG HUAIYU AND YU BOJUN HAD A MEAL WITH A FEW PEOPLE FROM SHANDONG SATELLITE TV, THEY DIDN'T DRINK MUCH, AND THE MATTER WAS NOT DISCUSSED IN DEPTH, BUT AFTER THE END, CAO ZHAN JUST PROPOSED A LITTLE, AND EVERYONE AGREED, AND THEY WENT TO CAO ZHAN'S HOUSE BY CAR.
made a phone call before going, and Liao Liao then rushed over.
Well, the four beauty bands of the year suddenly gathered again.
It's just that things are not people.
Li Qian is already a famous director, and he has basically not made much effort in music in the past two years, although the songs he wrote are as good as ever and popular, so that the singers of Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, Zhou Ye and other companies are thriving, but he knows that he has invested less than 10% of his energy in music.
Cao Zhan is now appearing as an entertainment celebrity, and he has been on duty in "Super Girl" for two consecutive years, which makes him extremely popular in the current domestic entertainment industry, especially in the younger generation.
Of course, everyone knows that Uncle Cao is not short of money, and like Li Qian, he does not accept any advertisements and endorsements.
Wang Huaiyu is now a professor and master's tutor at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, although he has only started recruiting students this year, and he has recruited a graduate student this year, but he is also a master's supervisor.
Then, he is also the chief suona player and chief sheng player of the Chinese Chinese Orchestra, although he repeatedly controls it, but there are still twenty or thirty performances of various names at home and abroad every year.
Liao Liao is a global superstar, and the album was sold in more than 100 countries at the same time, and it took more than four months just to go around the global promotion and fan meetings before and after the release of the new album.
As for Yu Bojun, he is now a rising star in the domestic business world.
With the name of the eldest son of the Yu family and the future successor on his head, coupled with his personable demeanor, he can brag and be good at, and he has the style of an artist.
At this time, sit under the lamp and talk to each other about the latest situation.
"Red Sorghum" was officially completed the afternoon before yesterday, Li Qian finished filming "Huang Feihong" in two months, and spent another two months filming "Red Sorghum", and even starred in the second part, the efficiency can be said to be high and scary, but Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun and Wang Huaiyu have all visited the class in the past, and no one will think that Li Qian handled it sloppily.
At the end of September, the second season of "Super Girl" ended, and the overall quality was not as good as the first season, but the influence and popularity were still surpassed.
In next year's "Super Girl", Cao Zhan has already confirmed that he will not be on it again, but will be reappointed as a producer to replace Qi Jie, who is getting more and more burdensome, and is responsible for controlling the overall direction of this show.
Of course, just this matter is not enough for him to play, as a producer, he is only responsible for controlling the overall situation, and the specific work will not be too much, so next year he will officially serve as the deputy artistic director of Minghu Culture - now Minghu Culture, Li Qian is the artistic director, overseeing the overall situation, Xie Mingyuan is the music director, Jin Han is the film and television director, Zou Wenhuai is the artist director, each responsible for a piece, Cao Zhan's past can be regarded as a hand for Li Qian, adding a half-level boss to the three of them. However, Cao Zhan's ability, coffee position, qualifications, and his friendship with Li Qian are all there, and no one will be unconvinced.
And to be honest, even if a few of them go up, if they want to talk about all-rounders in music, film and television, etc., they won't be able to control the scene.
But Cao Zhan is no problem, he is recognized as an all-rounder!
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
I heard that a group of friends were coming, and Cao Zhan's three wives, especially Cao Linna, who was in the main room, were busy Zhang Luo, entertaining Cao Zhan's best friends, and Chu Bingbing was also busy serving tea and pouring water.
Subsequently, the old sister-in-law also specially called her two sons and two daughters over to say hello to her uncles, and then even the little girl who was just over a year old born by Chu Bingbing was specially taken out to Li Qian and them.
When the children were gone, Cao Linna only sat for a while, and then walked away under the pretext of leaving only Chu Bingbing, who was usually familiar with Li Qian.
Drinking tea, I unconsciously started chatting aimlessly.
Cao Zhan lamented that "Super Girl" was becoming more and more boring, Li Qian talked about the joke when he filmed the sedan chair in "Red Sorghum" with Wang Huaiyu, Liao Liao said that he had an interesting story about his trip around the world, and Wang Huaiyu could also talk about some things about the graduate student he had just accepted.
It's just Yu Bojun, and there doesn't seem to be anything to say.
So he sat there, listening to everyone's nonsense, but always seemed to be lacking in interest.
Talking about the summer file that has just passed this year, he finally became a little interested.
This year's summer file is very fierce.
Of course, it's just a few blockbusters that are very fierce, not the whole market.
In fact, compared with the same period last year and the year before last, the box office report card handed over by the domestic film market in the first nine months of this year is not eye-catching, only 1.4% higher than the first nine months of last year - it is definitely unable to keep up with the speed of economic development.
However, the film market gives people a feeling of explosion.
However, in fact, it is the works of several blockbusters, famous directors, and imported blockbusters from overseas that account for a larger market share. At the same time, many self-made movies in theaters that could have been mixed and eaten, and movies with poor production at a small cost, have lost a lot of money.
The box office of the entire market is increasingly concentrating on blockbusters and high-quality products.
To take the simplest example, Zhang Zifang, a famous female director in China, has always taken the route of niche warmth, but her "Reunion" actually won a box office of 68.46 million in this year's summer file, achieving a small peak of her personal directorial career.
At least the pinnacle of profitable, commercial value.
Of course, Zhang Zifang's box office is not even enough to watch in this year's domestic films!
Because in this year's summer season alone, three domestic films have crossed the 200 million box office mark!
Liu Chengzhang's "Sword Immortal", 254.99 million, whether it was lost or not, there are different opinions.
Du Weiyun's "Thorn Qin", 242.95 million, must have been earned, and it is estimated that there will be a profit of about 30 or 40 million! Considering that the cost of this drama is about 70 million, more than a year of hard work, the first attempt to make a big investment and a blockbuster, Du Weiyun has given Zhou Yanghua back about 50% of the profit! It has been very successful!
Of course, in comparison, Wu Han's "Across the Seas" is more successful!
An investment of 30 million yuan, but he was stunned to win a box office of 201.08 million! It is said that the net profit is over 100 million!
It's a big profit!
Coupled with the 158.43 million of "My Sassy Girlfriend", which was a big hit after the New Year, the 100.87 million of "Escape Hero", which was put into individual theaters for four weeks and finally barely exceeded 100 million, and 116.24 million of a hilarious comedy "Pickled Girl Low Hand" released in May and June, this year has not yet passed, and there are already six domestic films with a box office of over 100 million, of which three have broken 200 million.
This is simply the feeling that the golden age of domestic movies has been opened!
However, in the total box office of 3.68 billion in the first nine months, although the number of imported films has been strictly restricted, and even the release time has been restricted in various ways, the thirteen imported blockbusters released so far still jointly won the box office of 1.72 billion, accounting for 46.7% of the total box office!
Among them, "Future World" finally broke 300 million, as high as 313.8 million yuan, becoming the first place in the box office market so far this year.
In addition, "Tales of the Night" is a small-budget production in the United States, and it is said that the total investment is less than 20 million US dollars, and its box office in North America is only a little more than 60 million, which is barely guaranteed, but when it came to China, it actually won 245.37 million Chinese dollars in one fell swoop, which is equivalent to more than 120 million US dollars, which can be called a big profit!
Although the proportion of account sharing that these imported blockbusters can get in China is relatively low, when they sell to the level of "Tales of the Night", the proportion of account sharing will be adjusted. According to industry estimates, "Tales of the Night" eventually took at least $30 million in net box office revenue from China.
It's all pure profit!
Therefore, when it was originally offline in North America, the producer was still a little evasive about the question of whether to shoot the second part, but now, after seeing the box office situation in China, the film has not yet been rolled off the production line here, and the producer has announced that the second part is already in preparation.
This is typical of the West not bright and the East bright.
In addition, among the blockbusters introduced this year, there are as many as eight with a box office of more than 100 million yuan, five of which exceed 150 million - Hollywood blockbusters, once again.
A few people here, except for Wang Huaiyu, who doesn't know much about the film market and doesn't care much, even Liao Liao, because he has been with Li Qian for a long time, has also met a movie star in the United States, so he has also made up a lot of relevant knowledge, as for Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun and Li Qian, they are even more outright experts.
It's just that this kind of imported blockbuster occupies half of the country, so everyone's interest is really not high - after chatting for a while and sighing for a while, Yu Bojun talked about interesting things!
According to the news within the industry, unconfirmed, and only circulated in a small circle, at the celebration banquet, Wu Han, as the fourth member of the 200 million box office club in China, may have been too excited and drank a little too much, and actually made a gesture to hold Fu Hongxue's waist several times, and was lightly avoided by Fu Hongxue the first few times, but later, Wu Han didn't know what to think, and actually reached out to touch Fu Hongxue's buttocks, but Fu Hongxue pulled it over with one ear scraper, and directly knocked off Wu Han's glasses!
It is said that the scum of the glasses was shattered to the ground!
When he said this, Yu Bojun's eyebrows danced, Li Qian and Li Qian shook their heads and laughed, and Liao Liao couldn't help but scold Yu Bojun for talking nonsense - in fact, Yu Bojun was talking nonsense.
Wu Han is interested in Fu Hongxue, according to various sources, there may be about it, but there is really no such thing as touching his buttocks, slapping or anything - no matter how much Wu Han drinks, after all, he is in this circle, and he knows some things.
To put it bluntly, Fu Hongxue is so popular that she has a status in the circle, but she is no worse than him at all - industry practice, standing in front of the stage will always be more popular and valuable than those behind the scenes!
If the two of them fall in love and get a leg, no one can say anything, but if Fu Hongxue doesn't agree, unless Wu Han loses his mind and goes crazy, it is basically impossible for him to do this.
It's just that in the entertainment industry, everyone likes to spread such peachy news the most, and it is seriously distorted when it is passed around.
However, He Yingyu mentioned a few words when she called, it is said that Zhou Yanghua's Oriental Media and Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television are currently chasing her, and Wu Han's next film is also becoming a competition between many investors and bigwigs in the domestic film and television industry - the news is what she heard from Qin Wei's mouth.
Talking and laughing, Li Qian suddenly remembered, and told Zhao Sicun about Zhao Sicun's trip to Qingzhou Mansion to find himself some time ago, and then asked everyone's opinions.
Liao Liao's opinion didn't need to be asked, Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu were also very interested when they heard it.
Wang Huaiyu also sighed: "Now I want to say it, I'm also very busy, but as long as I think about it, I still think that when we made music together, it was the most exciting!"
Cao Zhan took the opportunity to say: "That's right, what's the matter? Qian'er, do you mean that we should do it again? Stand up the four beauties again and make an album related to football?"
Not to mention that he is a rock veteran, the key thing is that he has been a die-hard fan for thirty years!
But at this time, Li Qian smiled when he heard this, didn't speak, and looked at Yu Bojun.
Yu Bojun grinned and smiled, "I'm going back to rock and roll, don't make trouble!"
After a pause, he said helplessly: "If I go back to rock and roll, our old lady will have to chase me with his stick!
After a pause, he looked like he didn't care about it, cocked Erlang's legs, and said: "Besides, I see that you have been positive enough on the side of Minghu recently, Zhou Ye, Ge Rilen, Zhao Yuan, Xie Lili, don't they all have related songs! What does Zhao Sicun think, you are making movies now, and he is still looking for you?"
Li Qian nodded, and before he could speak, Yu Dashao couldn't wait to continue: "Don't be stinky and beautiful first, I think he means that, nine times out of ten, he just thinks about the songs you wrote! If that's the case, then it's not easy to say? You write, write a few more songs, and directly help us Liao Xiandi make an album? After all, our Liao Xiandi is an international superstar, and the government is just a good face! People want the songs you write, and they want Liao Liao to sing! Don't be mistaken! People didn't say they had to let you sing!
Not to mention, it's not unreasonable for him to say this.
Even Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu are inconvenient to say anything.
But at this time, Liao Liao's words pierced him, "Come less! Aren't you just cowardly! You coax you, coax yourself, don't push things on me!"
