Chapter 903: A Good Deal

"Dear, it's your turn!"

Coming out of the bathroom, Tang Jiayi walked straight to Atletico Madrid, with her back to him.

After so many years, someone's love for the black long straight has never changed, and of course, they also have to share the responsibility of taking care of this long hair.

Put down the tablet and get up to get the hair dryer, plug in the power and press the hot air switch, Atletico sat back in place and reached out to grab a handful of hair and gently shook it away, the movements were skillful and natural, obviously usually did not do less.

The hot wind blew across her scalp, Tang Jiayi closed her eyes and waited for it to be finished, and asked casually, "What were you looking at just now?"

"What else could there be?" the latter asked rhetorically, and then said the answer himself: "I'm looking at the online broadcast data of this 'To the Moonlight' concert." ”

"Oh, how's it going?"

"Of course it's broken, the highest global 120 million, the average is 47.3 million. ”

"There's too much up and down, isn't it?"

"There's no way, the signal is not stable enough, Sarah Brightman keeps going online, and the audience's enthusiasm is naturally easy to ebb and flow. ”

The orbital altitude of the space station is only 415 kilometers, far less than the 35,786 kilometers of geosynchronous orbit, its orbital period is only 93 minutes, and you can see the sunrise and sunset sixteen times a day when you stay on it, and you can watch the morning and dusk line sweep over the earth and the ocean over and over again until you feel numb to the earth outside the window.

This feature also caused a lot of trouble for live video, the space station flew too fast, and soon flew out of the tracking range of the ground antenna, and could only "search for the base station" and reconnect, so the organizers had to let Sarah Brightman go online every once in a while, and fill it with other people's programs and advertisements the rest of the time.

"Are you sure it's not the interstitial ads? don't walk away from the commercials after it's more exciting, as if it's true. ”

"It's not okay to insert ads, after all, I still have to earn money to support you and the children. ”

"Hey!" Tang Jiayi expressed a hundred disbelief, and changed the question: "If I'm not mistaken, the online audience of last year's Monkey Sailei Spring Festival Gala seemed to be only 130 million, and it was only 10 million short of the record, and in the end it fell short, what a pity!"

"It's already very good," Atletico Madrid didn't feel pity, "No matter how you say it, the Spring Festival Gala is also an old brand for decades, and it has the blessing of the whole country, although it is getting more and more ugly and its influence is decreasing, but it has not reached the point where it can be easily surpassed." ”

"Besides, I don't care about this, otherwise the number of plays of one or two hundred million can be brushed out by yourself, just change the background data, it's much easier than changing the ratings, the local robot almost doesn't affect the performance, and it's no problem to hang as much as you want. ”

"Yes, more than a billion can be brushed out, one or twenty million is nothing," Tang Jiayi shook her head slightly, "Are those live broadcast platforms crazy? ”

Atletico stood up and turned to the other side, blowing the wind and saying, "It's all the money that's at fault." TV dramas buy ratings, movies buy box office, online dramas buy clicks, if the live broadcast platform doesn't have more fans, the performance will be too ugly, and no one wants to sell yourself. ”

"The bees and swans didn't brush it, did they?"

"No," turned off the hair dryer and put it on the coffee table, Atletico said proudly: "We have passed the point of starvation, so naturally we will not do this kind of self-smashing signboard thing, it is completely unnecessary." ”

"It's that the temptation of interests is not big enough," Tang Jiayi opened her eyes and turned around, and asked curiously: "There are hundreds of millions of viewers anyway, so you should be able to make a lot of money this time, right?"

Atletico grinned, "Actually, there aren't many, barely keeping the capital, all the celebrities who come are big-name stars, the appearance fees are high, and they have to live in luxury hotels, use professional audio, and there are countless expenses of all kinds, and there is no big loss and I am already full of luck." ”

"Hmph! This kind of nonsense can't fool me, you better say to the outside!" Standing up and flicking her hair, Tang Jiayi looked down on her husband condescendingly, "As far as I know, it seems that most of the singers don't have an appearance fee, okay?

"Ah, maybe I'm mistaken," Atletico stood up with a faceless smile, hugged the other party's waist and pushed her towards the big bed, "Lady, it's late at night, let's rest early!"

"Rest well!" Tang Jiayi kicked off her slippers and yukata, exposed her slender and toned body to the air, and smiled with her chest straight: "Then you can sleep obediently, whoever touches me is a pig!"

"Humph, yes!" replied to her with a muffled nasal voice that sounded like a piggy's hum, and then she was pushed down on the bed, with a large arched head on her chest.

"Did you really become a pig?"

"Of course, huh!"

They were busy with bedtime exercises that were good for their bodies and minds, while the others were not yet free.

When the ISS was once again in the shadow of Earth, Sarah Brightman was woken up by the alarm clock, struggled to get out of the sleeping bag hanging from the bulkhead, reached out and nudged the bulkhead, and swayed towards the bathroom.

In order to maximize the effect of this space concert, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and Sarah's team jointly designed a crazy "Round the World Concert" program, which set up multiple venues around the world, and the "To the Moonlight" open-air concert hosted by Bee Film and Television is just one of them.

In addition to Ludao Station, there are also five sub-venues in Mumbai, Moscow, London, New York, and Los Angeles, each city arranges an hour or two of online live broadcasts, and then she can return to the living cabin to rest for a while, and then she has to get up and clean up and continue the live broadcast.

Going to the toilet in the space station is quite awkward, and the excrement does not fall into the toilet on its own in weightlessness, and can only be pumped out with a negative pressure straw. The feces are collected and put in a garbage bin, which is thrown into the atmosphere and burned when the cargo ship returns, and the urine is collected and filtered for reuse. Although she knew that the cleanliness of these filtered water was higher than that of the pure water in the mall, she still felt a little awkward in her heart, and she couldn't help but envy the Russians at this time.

The International Space Station is a bit like a space room, the United States and Russia have their own cabins, each carrying their own living facilities and scientific research preparations, and the Russian water purification device only recovers air vapor, but gives urine to the Americans. Although Sarah Brightman came over this time to occupy the ship space given up by the Russians, her life and work are on the American side, so she naturally can't escape the "drinking urine" section.

There is no way to do this, the materials in the space station are transported from the earth thousands of miles away, and the cost is so high that it reaches the sky, so it is natural to do everything possible to make the best use of it.

Not only does the water have to be recycled, but the clothes also have to be fully utilized, and they usually have to be worn for two weeks before they are taken away by the "courier" along with other garbage and thrown into the atmosphere. So, when Sarah appeared in front of the live camera again, she was still wearing the same white dress as before.

After greeting the other astronauts, Sarah quickly got into the groove and stayed in front of the camera waiting for the signal from the Mumbai branch.

Holding a space concert is not only to fulfill a childhood dream, but also to occupy the title of "the first space singer", although it has paid a lot, but it can also greatly increase its popularity, and the commercial benefits are also immeasurable.

NASA's support is based on the hope of generating public interest and rallying support for the new space station in the future. After all, the ISS only has a few years to live, and it needs to be warmed up for the next step.

Interestingly, the reason why Sarah Brightman has a space dream is inseparable from NASA's live space broadcast. On July 24, 1969, Armstrong, the captain of the "Apollo-11" spacecraft, was the first to step out of the lunar module and step on the surface of the moon, leaving behind the classic golden sentence of "one small step for me, one big leap for mankind".

The Apollo program can be said to have influenced a generation and had a huge impact on many people's outlook on life and career aspirations. The seeds planted back then undoubtedly brought rich returns, and NASA naturally wanted to do it again, and then began to post wallpapers, show videos, engage in news, and start live broadcasts, just to awaken the public's enthusiasm for space, so as to accumulate chips for impressing the Congressional Appropriations Committee, and by the way, fool more teenagers into the big pit of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), and strive to cultivate more engineering kings.

Atletico Madrid got involved and paid a lot of money to snatch the qualification of the branch venue in Tokyo, of course, with the intention of promoting STEM education, but the main purpose was to promote the new movie and promote bees.

The reason why this open-air concert was named "To the Moonlight" is not only because of the "super moon" in the sky, but also because of the new song of the same name sung by Sarah Brightman at the end. This song is not only the theme song of the concert, but also the first wave of promotional songs of "The Wandering Earth".

According to the contract signed by the two, Sarah Brightman will continue to perform the song in the next five stops, and Boss Ma's intention to hitchhike the sale is undisguised, and the other party has no intention of refusing for the sake of money and the quality of the song.

The moon brought by a stroke in the original book is turned into a clue symbol throughout the movie by the aggravated scene: escape from the solar system, have to abandon the moon and abandon their home, arrive at the new galaxy, and launch the moon to rebuild their home as soon as possible. The moon is not only a symbol of the homeland, but also an allusion to those pioneers who died on the way, the "sun" has become the villain, the "moon" is naturally the hero, and there is nothing wrong with the battle of the sun and the moon.

This is the power of the second interpretation, the deduction is played through and chiseled, and often the original author himself can't recognize it, and he didn't expect it.

As the most easily discovered and observed celestial bodies by human beings, the sun and the moon have left very strong traces in the development of human civilization, and there are countless poems and ballads that praise them, praise them, pray for them, and curse them.

As it turned out, the bee's attempt was a huge success, and after the "Moonlight Goddess" tirelessly sang it six times, the song became an overnight hit and soon became famous all over the world, with the original singing video skyrocketing in hits, and various monolingual cover versions were released, and the future was very good.

When Atletico got up the next day, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the number of singing videos exceeded 100 million overnight, and the number of covers and re-creations was also considerable.

"I thought you didn't care?" she said.

"How can I not care? That's hundreds of millions!" Atletico stretched out his right hand and gestured to the numbers, "It's all my own money." ”

"And my money, Jiajing also has half of me!" Tang Jiayi smiled and waved her hand, "Hundreds of millions looks like a lot, but it's just the salary of five, six, seven or eight traffic stars." "The Wandering Earth" has no big-name stars, and I think it's worth it to spend the saved salary on publicity. ”

In the 80s, Hong Kong films entered the most glorious period, and box office records were constantly broken and refreshed. Seeing that the money was open, a large amount of hot money and even black money poured into the market, coaxing celebrities, rushing to film, bringing about a big explosion of production and star salaries, and then the market collapsed, how to "save the market" is also a pool of stagnant water, and the production staff in front of and behind the scenes had to pack their bags and reluctantly go north to make money.

However, capital really has no memory, and after more than ten years of brewing, the mainland film industry has also seen a phenomenon of both salary and output soaring, just like the Hong Kong film market in the golden age.

"You can see it," Atletico said with a grin.

"What's so unsightly about this," Tang Jiayi pulled the quilt, "Indians can save the money for making movies and use it to launch the Mars probe, let's save the star's salary and participate in the first space concert, it's really cost-effective." ”

"You really don't care?"

Tang Jiayi pointed to Atletico Madrid on the bed, "It's you who spends the money, not me." ”

"Hey, I see! The credit for co-authoring success is yours, and the sin for failure is mine, isn't that so?"

"Of course, it's fair that whoever has the idea is responsible. ”

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, what will you do if this money is wasted?"

"I can only promise not to kill you!" Tang Jiayi reached out again, trying to pull the quilt on Atletico Madrid's body, "Hurry up! Usually so diligent, why did you suddenly become lazy today?"

"Isn't it obvious, I overworked last night, and I have to rest more today," Atletico turned over on the spot and pressed the cup under him, "People are old, and their bodies are inevitably a little useless." ”

"Understood," Tang Jiayi nodded, "I'll call Lao Liu later, ask them to order a hip dancer, and I won't have to trouble you in the future!"

"No trouble, no trouble!" Hearing this, Atletico Madrid hurriedly turned over and stood up, posing in a posture of shaking his hips, "Don't be so troublesome, just give an order to whatever role you want, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

What answered him was the thin quilt that slid under his feet. The silk bedding is good, but the friction coefficient is a little small, and Atletico didn't check it for a while, so Tang Jiayi vigorously pulled away the thin quilt, so she had to obediently get out of bed and wash and go out.
