However, Zhao Zhenghao did nothing wrong, because from the public news, it can be known that this movie called "Journey to the West" is a comedy, if it is not funny, it will be really funny!

Although everyone is not very optimistic about Zhao Zhenghao's new movie, this is not optimistic, and it is also relative.

Zhao Zhenghao's first self-written, directed, and acted theatrical film achieved a box office success of more than 5 billion, exceeding everyone's expectations.

However, there can be no more such thing!

In particular, judging from the box office rankings of the Dragon Country Film Market in recent years, although comedy has always been a popular genre, it has rarely been a box office hit.

In 2014, the highest box office of comedy films was 3.8 billion, and in 2015, as of now, the highest box office of comedy films is 2.6 billion.

However, based on the list of actors announced in "Journey to the West", it is not easy for this movie to lose money, not to mention the starring Zhao Zhenghao, just the gimmick of An Shuyi, Peng Jieshan, and Min Lan, the three divas of the Dragon Chinese music scene, can also guarantee a box office of one billion for this movie.

Coupled with Zhao Zhenghao's appeal, it is not difficult for this movie to keep its capital, but it is difficult to say how much it can earn.

Most forecasting agencies estimate the box office of this "Journey to the West" to be about 2 billion, and the highest is not more than 2.5 billion!

Compared with the more than 5 billion box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story", this prediction is of course very unoptimistic!

However, the box office of 2 billion, although it is not ranked in the top 10 of the annual box office of the Dragon Kingdom, the top 50 can still compete!

For a new director, the box office of the first two movies can exceed 2 billion, which is enough to gain a foothold in the Dragon Kingdom film circle!

Although Zhao Zhenghao is best known for his identity as a singer, if "Journey to the West" can also achieve box office success, he can also have his own mountain in the Dragon Country film circle and director industry, and a more knowledgeable insider, if he gets along with him in the future, he may be called "Director Zhao".

……

The days passed day by day, and one day in late October, Zhao Zhenghao suddenly received a call from Cui Ran.

"Brother Cui, why did you remember to call me?"

Cui Ran's career has ushered in a new spring in the past two years, and the key is to accept Zhao Zhenghao's suggestion and invest in the construction of a rock park in the suburbs of Beijing.

After more than two years of development, the rock park, which has received the five-year naming fee of Yanjing Beer, has developed into the largest and most professional rock park in Longguo, integrating rock performances, leisure tourism, catering and accommodation, and is a new holy place for domestic rock fans!

In addition to every major holiday, Yanjing Rock Park will hold a rock carnival, and every weekend, it will also hold rock weekend activities, and there will be several rock performances every day.

In 2014, Yanjing Rock Park received more than 4 million rock fans, and the ticket revenue alone was more than 200 million!

Coupled with the gradual development of leisure tourism, catering and accommodation projects, the annual output value of this rock park has reached 500 million, becoming a local star enterprise.

It is said that Cui Ran is now contacting the State Administration of Tourism to apply for a 3A-level tourist attraction for Yanjing Rock Park, and put another layer of tiger skin on its body!

What Cui Ran values most is not the huge profits created for him, but that it has indeed made its own contribution to the current Dragon Kingdom rock circle!

According to statistics, 80% of the rock bands that officially debuted in the past two years have been selected by entertainment companies in Yanjing Rock Park, and none of the rock bands that have become famous in the past two years have not had the experience of taking the stage in Yanjing Rock Park!

In particular, the "May Day Rock Carnival" and "Eleventh Rock Carnival", which have been set as regular programs, have attracted rock parks at home and abroad with their novel and fair competition.

Rock bands in the country of Dragons cannot be top-notch without the experience of being on the center stage in the "May Day Rock Carnival" and "Eleventh Rock Carnival" in Yanjing Rock Park!

The kind of competition mechanism proposed by Zhao Zhenghao, which values popularity, ability, and on-site appeal, is strictly implemented under Cui Ran's hands, leaving no room for opportunism, whether or not you can get on the center stage depends on your own ability!

Under its stimulus, the newly formed rock band with its own musical ambitions in the past two years has paid great attention to laying a solid foundation and improving its ability from the beginning, and has taken back the thoughts of sensationalism and hype, so that the atmosphere of the rock circle of the Dragon Kingdom, which was a little smoky in the past few years, has changed!

The most important thing is that it is genuine, and several powerful rock bands have been excavated, which has injected vitality into the rock circle of the Dragon Kingdom and put the Dragon Kingdom rock circle on the right path of development!

Although Zhao Zhenghao has participated in the opening event of Yanjing Rock Park and the first "May Day Rock Carnival", he has been focusing on his own development, and has not paid much attention to it, and even the music style has deviated from rock and roll and moved closer to pop, but he still has a special status and bursting popularity in the hearts of rock fans in Dragon Kingdom!

In addition, the "heroic" band has insisted on participating in the activities of Yanjing Rock Park in the past two years, and so far, it has appeared on the center stage five times in the "May Day Rock Carnival" and "Eleventh Rock Carnival", which is the rock band with the most times in the Dragon Kingdom rock circle on the center stage of Yanjing Rock Park.

Although except for the first time, the lead singer of the band Zhao Zhenghao did not show up at all, but on the official encyclopedia of the "Heroic" band, the lead singer has always been Zhao Zhenghao, and among music fans, Zhao Zhenghao has always been the banner of the "Heroic" band.

It can be said that although Zhao Zhenghao has not been active in the Dragon Kingdom rock circle in the past two years, his legend has been circulating in the Dragon Kingdom rock circle!

The relationship between Zhao Zhenghao and Cui Ran has been very good since the first cooperation, and Cui Ran also served as the music director of Zhao Zhenghao's "Dangerous Journey" world tour.

In recent months, Zhao Zhenghao has been busy with the affairs of "Journey to the West", and he has not had much contact with Cui Ran, so he doesn't know what will happen when Cui Ran suddenly calls.

Cui Ran's personality is dictatory, and he has not changed his attitude towards him because of the change in Zhao Zhenghao's status, and he is still as casual as when they met for the first time, but this kind of casualness can see the intimacy of the relationship between the two of them.

It's the same this time, I haven't been in touch for so long, and there is no greeting, straight to the point, "Are you in the capital now?"

"Ahh ”

"Can you give me half a day?"

"Yes, one day?"

"The specifics haven't been decided yet, anyway, it's just a few days, no more than a week at most. ”

"No problem! I'm always available!"

Zhao Zhenghao happily agreed to Cui Ran's request, without even asking what he wanted to do.

He didn't ask, Cui Ran couldn't help but say, and explained, "Some time ago, I invited the Black Moon Band to perform in Rock Park, the contract was signed, the performance fee deposit was paid, and the itinerary was finalized, just in the past few days, but I just received a call from them saying that they can't come!"

"TNND, if there is really a special reason to cancel this trip, I will admit it, but they don't even give a reasonable reason, if they can't come, they won't come, I will take the contract and ask them to pay liquidated damages, and they will even fight with me!"

"It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, it has happened a few times in my friend's place before, the signed contract, if you can't come, you won't come, and some won't even refund the deposit, let alone liquidated damages!"

"In the past two years, as the domestic performance market has developed better and better, the performance fee has been rising, and it has not happened for a long time since the temporary breach of contract and cancellation of the trip has happened, but there are also a lot of other bad things, such as bad attitude, not attending pre-performance activities or something, there are too many things to do, too many to mention!"

"What's more, there are those who are on stage and want to threaten a temporary price increase, otherwise they won't be on stage, and those performers have no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it!"

"This is all for them to get used to! This time I don't plan to be good, I must teach them a lesson, even if I pay the lawyer's fees, I must expose their ugly faces, so that everyone can take a good look!"

"Not only to investigate their legal responsibility, but also to prove to them that our Dragon Kingdom rock circle is not without them! Think about it, and you can help us earn back our face, so in the past few days, I plan to use your name to do something, so that people all over the world can take a look, the enthusiasm of our Dragon Country rock fans, and the domineering spirit of our Dragon Country rock people!"

The "Black Moon Band" in Cui Ran's mouth is a rock band that has risen rapidly in the United States in recent years, with a mixed style of psychedelic pop, visual rock, dark atmosphere, crazy metal and other genres, although it is very exaggerated and avant-garde in terms of music form, but they are not grandstanding, but they do have real skills, the abilities of the band members are superb, and the album quality is also excellent, attracting a large number of fans.

At the last Grammy Awards ceremony, the "Black Moon Band" won four awards in one fell swoop: "Best Rock Singer", "Best Rock Album", "Best Rock Song", and "Best Metal Performance", realizing the rock awards, making their popularity go further, and faintly have the meaning of the number one band in the world today.

Dragon Kingdom rock has been developing for more than 30 years, there have been brilliant and underestimated, and from the trend of the past two years, everything is moving in a good direction.

Especially in terms of market development, the progress is obvious, according to incomplete statistics, the 2014 Dragon Kingdom rock performance market, the economic value created, has exceeded 100 billion Dragon Coin!

In terms of market size, the rock performance market in Dragon Country has surpassed the United States and become the first in the world's rock circle!

However, in the world rock world, Dragon Country Rock still has no status, not to mention compared with the United States and the United Kingdom, and even the small countries of Eastern Europe and Northern Europe can't compare!

So far, Zhao Zhenghao is the only one who has made some achievements in the world rock circle, but when Zhao Zhenghao achieved those achievements, he was no longer a pure rock singer!

This makes some foreign rock bands, on the one hand, want to get a share of the Dragon Country rock market, and on the other hand, they look down on Dragon Country Rock and always treat them with a superior attitude.

In addition, due to tradition and character, the people of the Dragon Kingdom often adopt an attitude of calming things down when there is such an international dispute, but this humble principle of handling things not only did not return the corresponding respect, but made themselves even more despised!

This kind of thing didn't happen to Cui Ran earlier, with his character, if it happened earlier this time, then he would have broken out earlier!

However, this timing is also good, if it happened a few years earlier, without the help of Zhao Zhenghao, an international superstar with good influence in the world, Cui Ran wants to fight back, and it is not easy to do.

Cui Ran's plan is to use legal means to protect his legitimate rights and interests, and let the defaulting "Black Moon Band" pay liquidated damages, and at the same time, with the help of Zhao Zhenghao's fame, he will do a big thing, so that the world's rock fans can see the power of rock in the Dragon Kingdom!

Cui Ran originally invited the "Black Moon Band" to come, originally to hold a concert in Yanjing Rock Park to repay the fans for their long-term support.

Due to the special business model of Yanjing Rock Park, rock fans only need to pay for tickets once to watch the show, and they can watch it all day!

This also includes special performances by big-name bands!

Take the "Heroic" band participating in the first "May Day Rock Carnival" as an example, the "Heroic" band at that time, although it has not officially debuted, but the band's lead singer Zhao Zhenghao is already a first-line singer in China.

The band had a total of three performances that day, and the last one on the center stage lasted more than an hour, which was comparable to a small concert, and in terms of audience size, the scene at that time was not inferior to any 100,000-person concert!

However, those rock fans who watched the show only spent a few dozen yuan on tickets to watch a performance of a first-line singer, did they make a lot of money?

The last time the "Black Moon Band" came to Dragon Country for a concert, the lowest ticket price was 288 yuan, compared to the ticket money of dozens of yuan, can it still be regarded as a cost?

Not to mention, now Cui Ran plans to let Zhao Zhenghao replace the "Black Moon Band" and act as the protagonist of this feedback activity!

With Zhao Zhenghao's current popularity and status, the minimum ticket for a concert will be at least 388 yuan, and the highest may even reach 2888 yuan, not to mention the black market price!

Rock fans now only need to pay a few dozen yuan to see Zhao Zhenghao's special performance, which is not a big discount, what is it?
