The term "fan movie" in China was first typed by Guo Xiaosi in 13 years, and then there was a directional fan movie strategy of "IP + little fresh meat", and now it is 08 years, and Xu Hui directly proposed this concept is quite attractive.

Of course, Xu Hui has not forgotten that there is no ticket supplement in this era, and the movie ticket is really fifty yuan a ticket, which is quite expensive for ordinary families.

It is much cheaper to buy a pirated disc or download it from the Internet, which is the main reason why piracy has been rampant in those years.

For Wang Zhonglei, investing in "Embroidered Spring Knife" is, of course, just to see the benefits.

He has no ambitions to recreate domestic action movies.

Although he is very interested in the fan economy, after listening to Xu Hui's words, he is still a little hesitant, after all, there is no Weibo yet, and the ghost knows how many fans Xu Hui has, and what is the purchasing power of these fans, there is no way to count.

Huang Wen, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "The novel of the same name of "Embroidered Spring Knife" has sold almost 300,000 copies, plus the role of pirates, it is roughly estimated that at least millions of people have seen this work, and then be optimistic that by July, the topic of "Embroidered Spring Knife" should be known by tens of millions of people, plus Xu Hui's first film work, directed and acted by himself, the topic is so big, I believe that it is not a problem to recover the cost!"

"Moreover, if we don't go up in July, there will be the Olympics in August, September has always been the off-season at the box office, and Xu Hui is going to join the group to shoot "The Wind" in September, and when he finishes filming, it will be almost November..."

Huang Wen analyzed this, not to mention that Wang Zhonglei thinks July is the most suitable schedule, even Xu Hui thinks so.

He just thinks that the students are on vacation in July and August, and his fans are mainly students, so he will set the July file, and he didn't think about it so much at all.

"Okay, I'll let the propaganda department cooperate with the publicity, and we'll set it for July 1st!"

Wang Zhonglei thought about it for almost three minutes, and decided the release time of "Embroidered Spring Knife".

Xu Hui looked at Huang Wen, and the two of them let out a long breath almost at the same time.

"By the way, Mr. Wang, can you end the lawsuit as soon as possible, according to the law, I can't appear on the small screen as a person now, so I can't publicize it. ”

"There's no need, we're in the country..."

Wang Zhonglei felt that Xu Hui was making a bit of a fuss.

"Mr. Wang, the fans who are obsessed with the Korean team in China are turning a corner to find fault with me, I don't want to be caught by them!"

Xu Hui explained, and Huang Wen also said: "And Xu Hui recently wrote three songs and is about to release an EP, the contract has not been terminated, and he can't act alone..."

"You're going to release a new song?"

Wang Zhonglei, no, it should be said that the Wang brothers have always wanted to build Huayi into a media empire, in addition to movies and TV series, music is also very important, so they signed a group of singers who debuted in the draft such as BOBO and He Jie.

The reason why they are particularly interested in Xu Hui, in addition to his good image and high popularity, more importantly, Xu Hui has released Chinese singles, Chinese-style singles, called "Rolling Bead Curtain", which has a great impact, although it is not as good as Zhou Jielun, but it is already very good, especially Xu Hui's length is much more handsome than Zhou Jielun.

Therefore, they feel that signing Xu Hui is equivalent to signing the future king of the music world.

Huayi's expectations for Xu Hui in music far exceed those for him in movies.

Now that I hear Huang Wen say that Xu Hui wrote three songs, of course I am very excited.

……

"Actor", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Red Dust Inn", "In My Song", "Wukong"... Aren't these five songs?"

"I've been inspired, and I've been thanking two of them. ”

Xu Hui looked at Gao Xiaosong in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, without the slightest sense of guilt for plagiarism.

"You might as well write a few more songs, let's get an album!"

“… Mr. Komatsu, you are also an insider, and now releasing an album is losing money, so I might as well get an EP. ”

In fact, any producer can do the job of recording songs, probably to reflect Huayi's attention to Xu Hui, and for the recording of this EP, Huang Wen found Gao Xiaosong as the producer for him.

Gao Xiaosong's reputation is known to most people, and he is known as the top half of the country in the domestic music circle!

The domestic music industry has probably entered a strange circle since the late 90s, that is, no matter how hard you try, you will definitely not be able to support yourself with the album alone.

Because piracy is too powerful, and many music websites don't pay you royalties.

About 16 years, Shangfeng saw that the development of domestic music websites was almost over, so he set a law that there must be copyright, and this is a good era for musicians!

Gao Xiaosong briefly flipped through a few songs written by Xu Hui, and looked at him with some surprise, especially when he turned to "Wukong", he couldn't help but ask: "You wrote all these songs yourself?"

"Of course..."

Xu Hui didn't bother to explain anything, a proud person like Gao Xiaosong probably looks down on the so-called talent singers and returned idols!

"Alright, let's start recording. ”

With suspicion, Gao Xiaosong began a week-long cooperation trip with Xu Hui.

……

"I made an EP for our current director Xu Hui in 08, which is an EP that is specially prepared for all six songs, and that EP, five songs are written by himself!"

In 16 years, Gao Xiaosong recorded "Xiao Shuo", giving an example of the birth of an album.

"One thing, I was particularly impressed, I just arrived at the recording studio that day and saw Xu Hui sitting on the sofa, after seeing me, he stood up very politely, and then handed me the songs he wrote, I looked at it, there were already five songs, I asked him why he didn't write a few more songs or collect a few songs to make an album, he said, 'To make an album now is to lose money, I might as well make an EP, and when the time comes, keep tens of thousands of more copies and give them to my fans..."

"Xu Hui's timbre is quite good, and the vocal range is quite wide, of course, it is not as good as a real big soul singer, but for pop music, it is enough, to be honest, before I met Xu Hui, I was prejudiced against the so-called idols, and I felt that they couldn't mention anything else except that face, but after knowing Xu Hui, I felt that I was simply too shallow!"

"Let's talk about what really happened, we recorded it very smoothly, when recording the third or fourth song, I talked to him and his assistant Xiao He, the three of us chatted in the studio, I can't remember what topics we talked about, I said 'Life is not only in front of you, but also things and distance...', ten minutes later, Xu Hui wrote a song with this sentence, which is the sixth song of that EP!"

"Therefore, no matter how many blockbuster movies Xu Hui has made and how many awards he has won now, I always think that if he insisted on taking the road of music at the beginning, he would definitely be a generation!"
