Chapter 34: Gaze

Inside the Kodak Theater, it was full of friends. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Speaking of the name of this theater, I have to mention Kodak, a company, whether it is in the time and space that Li Qian has experienced, or in the current time and space, before the development of digital equipment, it is the top in the production and manufacturing of imaging equipment.

Therefore, the most famous theater in Hollywood, the United States, which is also the host of the Oscars in recent years, is called Kodak Theater, and thousands of miles away in Shuntianfu, there is also a large theater that has won the naming rights by Kodak, which is the venue for the award ceremony of China's film and television Great Wall Awards.

This theater is very large, the decoration is also quite high-end and luxurious, in normal times, it mainly undertakes some large-scale commercial performances, including Peking opera, drama, song and dance drama and ballet performances, but also includes some relatively small singer concerts.

After Li Qian, Cheng Subei and others went in, they found that Cao Zhan and they were all waiting inside, everyone converged, and then they went in under the guidance of the staff and found the seats belonging to "The Legend of the New White Lady" and "The Love of Green Onions" - the organizers are still very understanding, everyone knows that although these two belong to TV series and movies, the directors on both sides have a very good relationship, and even the crew members and actors have many crossovers, plus "The Love of Green Onions" Only the heroine Cheng Subei got an acting nomination, so director Yu Bojun and others didn't plan to come over at all, so they simply arranged the two crews together.

In the middle, slightly further back.

Li Qian's left hand side is Cao Zhan, and on his right hand side is Bai Yujing.

In recent years, it can also be said that since Li Qian came to this time and space, he has always been extremely attentive to domestic and foreign movies and TV series.

And although he mainly watches domestic and European and American blockbusters, he will also watch some unpopular countries or themes, plus he usually accompanies Wang Jinglu or Liao Liao to the theater to watch some new movies that are selling nowadays, so far, he has been in this time and space for more than five years and less than six years, and he has watched at least a thousand or so films, and he dare not say that he knows the development of movies and TV series at home and abroad in this time and space, but he already has a basic foundation.

Of course, what he is familiar with is the works, for people, including domestic, European and American, very well-known, or works or actors that Li Qian admires very much after watching them, he will ask people to collect information for himself and get a serious understanding, but most of the works he has seen, for their directors, screenwriters, and actors, he may be able to tell who they are, but when he sees real people, most of them are definitely not known.

But it doesn't matter, Cao Zhan is an old monster in the literary circle, he has been mixed together in this line for 20 years, whether he writes songs or works as a screenwriter, he is more literary and artistic, so to speak, he has never really become popular, but the qualifications in this circle are definitely there, especially this time not long after Li Qian arrived in Shuntianfu, he also ran over to relax, and lived for a few years, with the popularity of the four beauty bands, many old relationships back then, and even friends who have gradually become estranged, have also picked it up again.

Moreover, Bai Yujing was a famous big star in the circle back then, although her so-called big star is really the positioning of an extremely beautiful vase, and it is also a vase of TV series, in the film industry, there is basically no sense of existence at all, but after all, she has been in the circle for so many years, and her face is also very familiar.

Therefore, with the two of them sitting on the left and right, pointing and pointing there quietly, Li Qian quickly matched a lot of names.

Of course, although Li Qian has never been in the mixed film and television circle in the past few years, there is an inextricable connection between film and television and music, and the current Minghu Culture and Music Department also receives the soundtracks of more than a dozen or even twenty film and television works every year, so Li Qian has also met a lot of people, and this time, it can only be regarded as a large piece of his name memory bank.

What's more, with such a miracle TV series as "The Legend of the New White Lady" in hand, even if Li Qian doesn't know people, some people want to come over to get to know him.

Li Qian and the others entered late, but after sitting down, they played this game with Cao Zhan and Bai Yujing for a long time, and people began to take the initiative to come over to say hello.

Everyone shook hands, simply greeted each other, said that they would have time to sit together in the future, and then politely said goodbye - the red carpet outside was over, which meant that the awards ceremony would start soon.

Besides, it's full of people, and it's obviously not a good place to chat.

"The Legend of the New White Lady" is very popular, quite popular, and even so popular that it is a TV series, but it has earned money that most movies can't make, so don't look at Li Qian's youth, but even if it is at the level of the great director Liu Chengzhang, talking to him is polite Hello, hello, hello.

Moreover, even if "The Legend of the New White Lady" is aside, just by virtue of Li Qian's current status as the godfather of the domestic music scene, even if he is at the level of Qin Wei, he is not qualified to overpower Li Qian.

Qin Wei has several movies with a box office of over 100 million, and has an excellent reputation, and is the number one person in the current domestic director circle who everyone has to be convinced, but Minghu Culture can launch two or three records with sales of tens of millions every year! You know, a movie ticket costs more than ten yuan, and a CD of an album is also more than ten dollars, Qin Wei's movie box office can easily exceed 100 million, but not to mention Liao Liao, who has been promoted to the international diva, and "Once You", which sold 20 million copies, even He Runqing, the total sales of a record can also exceed 100 million!

Even, considering the account sharing system of the movie box office, everyone also earns 100 million, but after the movie box office is stripped of a few layers of skin, when it falls into the hands of the producer, there are often only 30 or 40 million left, and Minghu Culture is self-produced and sold, and after deducting the cost of the channel, it falls into the pocket more than the film producer!

Moreover, the so-called producers of the film, including the production company, the director, the actors, the behind-the-scenes staff, and so on, because the film itself is a commodity that requires the precise cooperation of many people to produce, but the record is much simpler than the movie.

In short, He Runqing's album sales are 100 million, and He Runqing himself can earn about 15 million net income, according to the brokerage contract, this kind of record sales commission only needs to be divided into 10% for the brokerage department of Minghu Culture, so her actual income is about 13.5 million. Minghu Culture, on the other hand, can earn about 35 million through this album, remove various costs, and have a net profit of 30 million.

But Qin Wei made a movie and sold it for 100 million, and what he got in his hands, including the director's salary and dividends, is about He Runqing's level.

In terms of forced style and coffee position, the movie is the highest, because it is a comprehensive art of sound and light. But if you really talk about influence, an album that is popular all over the streets and alleys is not much worse than a movie that sells 100 million, as for making money, even if Minghu Culture only makes music, it is a big cut away from those domestic film companies!

Therefore, regardless of whether they make music or movies, when they reach the level of Li Qian and Qin Wei, they are already the top levels in their respective industries, and it is basically difficult for everyone to distinguish between them.

It's like Spielberg is a good director, and no one thinks that Michael Jackson will be inferior to him.

Of course, in the entertainment industry, it has always been a habit of seniority, and people are old, senior, and accomplished, so there is no way to do this.

And the most important thing is that the information content that a record can carry, and the information content that a movie can carry, are not at the same level at all.

In the future, there is also a big gap between the potential markets faced by the two.

Looking at the world, even if it is to the extent of Michael Jackson, it is impossible to completely conquer the Chinese-speaking market with English songs, but the English-language movies of Spielberg and James Cameron can.

…………

People kept coming to Li Qian to greet and get acquainted, and Li Qian had to stand up again and again to shake hands with people.

Most of these people are people from some brokerage companies and film and television companies, and a small number of them are some actors and directors who have known each other before, for example, Jiang Jianming, the director in charge of the Soochow group when Li Qian was filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", came over on purpose, chatted with Li Qian for a few words, and made an appointment to find time to eat together.

Soon, Qi Jie rushed over.

Then, it suddenly became a little more lively.

Li Qian is very high-profile, and Li Qian is very low-key.

Do things in a high-profile manner and be a low-key person.

In contrast, in the entertainment industry, Qi Jie's connections are far beyond Li Qian's.

And if you don't look at your face, Li Qian sits there, he is an ordinary handsome guy, and no one even feels that he is the big boss of the largest record company in China today, but after several years of experience, Qi Jie is now full of aura, no matter where she goes, she, the beautiful president, is the most powerful existence.

In the past, she was a domineering president in the record industry and everyone in the music industry, everyone knew that she had amazing beauty, extraordinary ability, and great courage, but now, her reputation has gradually spread in the film and television industry with the negotiation of the broadcast rights of "The Legend of the New White Lady", and it is spreading more and more.

As soon as she came, there were originally many people who were really unfamiliar with Li Qian and felt that they couldn't talk, and they all got up and came over, because they all knew Qi Jie and had dealt with them more or less.

After saying a few words, I naturally knew Li Qian.

When Li Qian was interviewed after walking the red carpet, he joked that he was here to hand out business cards, but now, before the awards ceremony began, he had already received a stack of business cards.

"The Legend of the New White Lady" is so popular, not only has it brought out a popular white lady, but even supporting roles like Xu Xian, Fahai, Xiaoqing, and even Qi Baoshan have become popular, which naturally shows Li Qian's ability to support actors, coupled with the word-of-mouth foundation of the gold medal producer who was a singer in the record circle before, it is naturally the object of countless brokerage companies and film and television companies that have signed artists and actors.

Fortunately, this is the Kodak Theater after all, and everyone came to get acquainted with each other, handed over a business card, said a few words, and quickly left.

Moreover, seeing that the emcee over there had already taken the stage, everyone knew that the award ceremony was about to start, so even if they wanted to come, they had to stop for the time being.

Cao Zhan originally sat next to Li Qian, but when he saw Qi Jie coming, he gave up his seat to Qi Jie very interestingly, and changed to the side to sit down.

After dealing with the last group of people, seeing that the award was about to start, Qi Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled at Li Qian, frowning while laughing, "I'm tired!"

Li Qian smiled, and Xiao Sheng asked her, "Didn't you say that you couldn't come back?"

In fact, there is no need to find a reason, the contact with Hunan Satellite TV has been in full swing, as long as the general direction is okay, Qi Jie, the general manager, there is no need to squat over there, after all, the show is only in the preparatory stage, and it is not yet time to really exert force, but I don't know why, Li Qian asked, Qi Jie's smile stopped slightly, and subconsciously found a reason: "I want to watch you take the stage and win the award!"

Li Qian smiled when he heard this, nodded, "Okay!" paused, and said, "Don't be disappointed if you can't get it, I'm not sure myself!"

When Qi Jie heard this, he began to comfort him, "It doesn't matter, whether you win the award or not won't affect the strength of this film, besides, I think there is a lot of hope, just this rating, if you don't give an award, you can't say it." ”

Li Qian smiled and didn't speak.

But soon, he seemed to sense something, and turned his head to look ahead to the left.

But the moment he turned his head, that gaze dodged slightly, and soon turned back.

It's a woman.

And don't know.

Qi Jie noticed Li Qian's movements for the first time and asked, "What's wrong?"

Because it was the front row over there, Li Qian pointed over there reassuringly and asked, "Who is that person?"

Qi Jie looked at it for a long time and found the person Li Qian was referring to, but hesitated and said: "Just looking at the back, how do I know who it is! I am not very familiar with these actors and directors." ”

Li Qian nodded, and was about to turn his head to ask Bai Yujing again, but at this time, the person sitting next to the woman turned around, and the eyes of the two happened to meet.

He nodded at Li Qian and smiled.

Li Qian then nodded at him as well, smiling.

Then, the other man quickly withdrew his gaze, turned back, and whispered to the woman beside him.

Li Qian put away his smile and slowly leaned back on the sofa.

Bai Yujing saw all this from beginning to end, turned his head to look at Li Qian, and faintly felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Li Qian pursed his lips to speak, but at this time, the award ceremony officially began. (To be continued.) )
