192【Album Release】
For ordinary people, the award of the martial arts association is just a piece of news in newspapers and magazines, but it makes many martial arts authors and martial arts fans cheer.
Hong Kong doesn't even have its own special awards for movies, and our martial arts novels are so good!
In particular, the publication of the works of those award-winning contestants one by one has aroused the enthusiasm of countless people, and the number of articles from martial arts magazines in Hong Kong and Taiwan has increased sharply, making the already somewhat cold martial arts market suddenly hot again.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the consumer base of martial arts novels has been diluted a lot by comics and serials, and the writers of the martial arts association get together to discuss and discuss, and in the end, there is only a combination of novels, comics, and serials.
The Martial Arts Association is responsible for contacting comic book clubs and TV series production companies, and although the number of people benefiting is not too large, it is better than a single author going to them for adaptation.
There are also authors who cherish feathers, such as Jin Yong, many comic book companies pay high prices to adapt Jin Yong's novels, but people don't get rid of them at all, and at most they make them into TV series.
In addition, Wang Zijun was ready to get a comic club idea and discussed it with Li Feimeng, who was Taiwan's leading cartoonist and fiction writer at this time, but his comics were traditional comics, and a group of young readers no longer liked them.
If you want to win the market, you have to change your style.
But Li Feimeng has his own pride, and he doesn't want to cater to young people and chase the trend of comics.
"Brother Niu, what do you think of this?" Wang Zijun quickly drew a person standing on the top of the mountain on the paper, with a flying skirt and fairy wind bones, as if he wanted to fly away from the wind.
Li Feimeng looked at it and said: "Some of the shadows of this comic are like the painting style of Huang Yulang in Hong Kong, but it is more beautiful, and there is some taste of Chinese freehand painting." By the way, the illustration on your "Sou Shen Ji" is very similar to this. ”
Wang Zijun smiled: "Why don't we name this style Chinese style?" I'm going to use it to draw martial arts comics. ”
Li Feimeng said: "This kind of comic is not as simple as the traditional novel illustrations, but young people like it very much, and there should be a market." ”
"How about we start an anime studio together?" Wang Zijun asked.
Li Feimeng smiled: "How did you think of doing comics? Publishing records, making movies, writing novels, and publishing houses, are you busy? ”
Wang Zijun said: "Just like the publishing house, I just pay to be a shopkeeper." Also, our studio originally drew manga, but when we got to the better of it, we were able to make comics into anime and broadcast them. ”
"The authorities have a comic book censorship, and many of the contents are not drawn at all. Like Huang Yulang, who is also in Hong Kong, maybe his company has been banned ten times or eight times when he comes to Taiwan. ”
Wang Zijun was gloomy when he heard this, and said with a strong spirit: "Brother Niu, you are familiar with this aspect, so you have to come to check and review and play more side balls." By the way, you look at this again. ”
Wang Zijun said and drew two Q versions of wolves and a few sheep on paper.
Amused by the old wolf's beret and band-aid, Fermon asked, "This is interesting, but the audience may be a little younger." ”
The age of the audience is not young, at least Wang Zijun is almost thirty years old in his previous life, and when he has troubles, he will also watch "Crayon Xiaoxin" and "Joyful" to relieve boredom.
In fact, Wang Zijun wanted to plagiarize "Crayon Xiaoxin", but the little rascal who always took off his pants would definitely not pass the review, or our domestic comics would be more harmonious.
As for the sales problem, today's children, even teenagers, definitely can't withstand the temptation of the gray wolf, in the previous life, it was popular all over the Taiwan Strait, and even Xiao S complained in "Kangxi is Coming" that his children watched "Xiyangyang" all day long.
Wait for "Xiyangyang" to be a hit, and then contact the factory to register a trademark, what Xiyangyang schoolbags, Xiyangyang hanging accessories, Xiyangyang children's clothing, the money for those peripheral products is coming from a tsunami.
Wang Zijun said: "Brother Niu, I will pay for the funds of our animation club, and you are only responsible for the early convening of manpower and some management and guidance work, and I will share six and you four." ”
"Forget it, I don't want your shares, if you want to get it, I'll take the time to show you, as for the management personnel, please be smart." In addition to writing novels and drawing comics, Li Feimeng also has a serious job, if he agrees to Wang Zijun, he will have to give up his work and go all out to manage the animation club.
Wang Zijun said: "Brother Niu, believe me, our animation club will definitely become popular." You don't want to wait until a few years from now, and all you see on the streets and alleys are comics, right? ”
"Well, let me think about it again." Li Feimeng was a little difficult to refuse.
"What else to consider? In addition, our animation club is inclusive of all rivers, whether it is a traditional painting style, we can accept it, and you can also spread your comic concept through it and cultivate the next generation of comic talents for Taiwan. This is a great thing for both public and private purposes. Wang Zijun said.
Li Feimeng was a little moved by what he said, he had been accepting apprentices to draw comics for free ten years ago, but the comic censorship in those years was stricter than now, which made him disheartened. In the 80s, Taiwan under Chiang Ching-kuo began to gradually relax the censorship of cultural works, which gave Li Feimeng hope, in order to win more freedom for the Taiwanese comics industry, he fought a lawsuit with the political axe agency and the publishing house for four years, and lost his job for four years to do this thing.
Wang Zijun knew this, and ate Li Feimeng to death, stalking him for several hours, and finally moved Li Feimeng and agreed in a daze.
Wang Zijun is now rich and rich, and he has a lot of money in his private house, so he directly gave Li Feimeng 1 million Taiwan dollars the next day, and did not sign any contract, which made Li Feimeng cry and laugh.
"Aren't you afraid that I will not admit the money after receiving it?" Li Feimeng was moved and had a headache.
Wang Zijun said with a hippie smile: "If Brother Niu eats my fraud, I will admit it." ”
"." Li Feimeng felt panicked when he saw Wang Zijun's smiling face, as if he had sold it to someone, "I will find you to sign the contract another day, and you can't run away from the establishment of an animation studio." ”
Wang Zijun said: "Okay, anyway, the stall hasn't been paved yet, and I'll give you the cartoons I drew in two months." In addition, I will introduce you to an apprentice, a Hong Kong native, with a lot of new ideas, you can teach him the basics of comics, but don't fix his painting style. ”
After Li Feimeng agreed, Wang Zijun sat up again and shook his hands and returned to his crew.
The film's scenes in the military village have long been filmed, and now they are shot in song halls and on the streets of the city.
After Wang Zijun set off a trend of modern folk songs and rock creations, many folk song restaurants appeared in Taipei. You can drink coffee and eat in the folk song restaurant, but there is always a folk singer holding the guitar and singing next to him, which is also a major feature of Taipei.
Wang Zijun is now contacting a folk song restaurant called Muchuan, and the owner of the restaurant heard that Wang Zijun was going to film, and he was so happy that he trembled, not only waived all venue rental fees, but also planned to provide food for the crew at his own expense.
Wang Zijun couldn't shirk it, so he could only repay the favor and say that he would add an additional unit of thanks at the end of the movie.
After the movie is broadcast, it is estimated that the business of the wooden boat folk song restaurant will be booming.
In addition to the folk song restaurant, another filming location is naturally in the nightclub of the Regal Hotel.
"Zijun, sign it for me."
"yes, when is your new record going to be released?"
“……”
There was a flood of people in the folk song restaurant, and countless people gathered around Wang Zijun to ask for autographs, and squeezed Lin Qingxia, Sun Yue, Qin Xianglin and others aside. Nowadays, most of the people who come to eat at the folk song restaurant are a bit petty-bourgeois, and they are basically all music lovers, not to mention Wang Zijun's fans. Now what Wang Zijun has to do before filming every day is to help fans sign autographs first, and in the end, he has to set a rule, that is, the signing time should not exceed 20 minutes every day, so as not to delay the filming progress, and these 20 minutes are used by the crew to arrange the scene.
Among the topics that those fans asked, the most was when Wang Zijun's new record would come out, Zheng Zhenkun was just advertising and promoting all day long, and he didn't even say the release date.
"It's just a few days, and the boss of the record company has the final say on when it will be released, and I don't have the right to make a decision." Wang Zijun replied like this every time, splashing dirty water on Zheng Zhenkun.
The quality of these fans is obviously much better than that of the uncles and aunts in the military villages, some of them are elated because they are selected to eat in the restaurant as extras, and those who are not selected also spontaneously retreat to the dead corner of the camera to watch quietly without making a sound.
"This young lady, please move your position, yes, your place is blocking the camera." After Wang Zijun's training, Li Jinghao finally put down the stinky shelf and began to help Wang Zijun coordinate the scene. This person has a superb ability to disguise and latent, what is he pretending to be, it is estimated that he doesn't need to teach acting skills when he is pulled down to make movies.
Wang Zijun sat in front of the piano, and Lin Qingxia also stood with the microphone in the restaurant.
"The 346th scene of "If the Wine Sells Nothing", Eksh!"
The assistant director gave the order, and several photographers began to get busy.
Wang Zijun began to play the piano, while Lin Qingxia shook her body to the sound of music.
It turns out that our sect leader can also play the piano, which is amazing! The onlookers suppressed the excitement in their hearts and kept silent, quietly enjoying Wang Zijun's singing and playing music.
Wang Zijun played a young composer named Shi Junmai, and also the friend who helped Lin Qingxia all the way, he played the piano and began to sing: "I am stepping on the same pace, in order to cooperate with your arrival, when you are in a panic, please follow me!" ”
Lin Qingxia sang in general, so at this time she was lip-syncing with the record she was playing, she twisted her waist with a smile on her face and sang: "I have dreamy expectations, it is a feeling that cannot be pressed, when you are not paying attention, please follow me!" ”
"Don't say anything, it's a world you can't predict."
"Don't say you don't have to say it, your eyes have already told me."
The two men and women sang in duet, looking at each other affectionately from time to time, and they cooperated seamlessly. And Lin Qingxia practiced her mouth shape for several months, and actually deceived the onlookers who didn't know the truth, and she really thought she sang it.
"Good!" After singing the song, all the guests in the restaurant did not need to perform, and began to applaud from the bottom of their hearts.
"I'm so nervous." Lin Qingxia took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, and said with a sigh.
Wang Zijun said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, it's not a concert, it's a big deal to shoot again." ”
Lin Qingxia said: "People don't want to lose face in front of your fans." ”
"Cutie, you're too careful." Wang Zijun said.
Lin Qingxia said: "Your fans like you so much, of course I can't destroy your image." ”
"Okay, don't think so much, get ready for the next one." Wang Zijun said.
―――――― it took about four or five days to shoot in folk song restaurants and nightclubs, and many of the shots were cut out for only a few seconds, but the scene layout had to be replaced by all the extras, which greatly lengthened the schedule.
"Hey, why aren't there many people today?" A photographer curiously asked a female fan who had come to participate in the shoot.
The female fan said, "Don't you know? Today, Zijun's new record is officially on sale, haha, my boyfriend is helping me line up, so I'll watch Zijun filming first. ”
Due to Wang Zijun's request in variety shows, most fans now affectionately call him by name.
The photographer was speechless when he heard this, that cup-wrenching boyfriend.
Everyone is busy at the filming site, but the major release points of Wang Zijun's new record are very popular.
Ximending, Taipei.
The owner of a record store smoked a cigarette unhurriedly, turned on his record player, and put in Wang Zijun's new record, while the staff unpacked the package and asked everyone to line up.
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, seeing the prosperity of the world, and my young heart was always a little frivolous, and now you are a home......
There were beautiful singing voices in the store, which made the fans in line anxious, constantly urging the front to hurry up, and some even began to curse.
The boss is also a music enthusiast, smoking a cigarette while smiling at the long queue, quite a momentum of looking down on the world. At this moment, he felt that as the owner of a record store, he was the happiest person in the world.
Occasionally, a few singers passing by some video stores saw this scene with envy and jealousy.
is also a singer, why is the difference so big.
Sometimes fame is like this, fans are fanatical, even if Wang Zijun is selling second-rate records now, there is no need to worry about his sales.
Of course, this kind of cheating thing can't be repeated, otherwise it will be a matter of time before fans are lost.
New Territories, Hong Kong.
Teresa Teng sat in the car with a thin and unattractive man, looking at the long queue of more than 100 meters, and said with amusement and admiration: "In the whole of Hong Kong and Taiwan, I am afraid that only Zijun can cause such a sensation." ”
The man said, "Ah Jun, you're not bad, there is a long queue when the new record is sold." ”
"Robin, I heard you're leaving Hong Kong?" Teresa Teng asked.
The man who sat with Teresa Teng and spoke in a very affectionate tone was Teddy. Robin, the two met a few years ago, when Teresa Teng was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Originally Teresa was Teddy. Robin's fan, and then he became a buddy.
Teddy. Robin may not be familiar to many people, but he is recognized as the first member of a Hong Kong band. He formed a band with Zheng Zhongji's father Zheng Donghan when he was in middle school, and later became popular in Hong Kong and set foot in the film industry. In the future, both the Wenner Band and Beyond were more or less influenced by him, and the amateur singing contest that the Wenner Band originally formed to participate in was a judge for him.
Teddy. Robin's friendship with Teresa Teng was very sincere, and once Teddy. Robin's company was going to go bankrupt, but the last concert was not promoted, and there were only two people in the audience, one of whom was Teresa Teng, who rushed to support the show after hearing the news.
Teddy. Robin said: "Yes, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia are bored, and I want to go to Europe and the United States to see and get in touch with something different." ”
Teresa Teng admired: "You are really willing, I can't do it." ”
Teddy. Robin is a first-line singer in Southeast Asia at this time, except that the sales of a single record are not as good as Wang Zijun, and his fame is actually comparable. And this person suddenly announced his retirement from the entertainment industry when he was the most popular, saying that he was going to Europe and the United States to be a wandering singer, which made many people think that his head was kicked by a donkey.
Teddy. Robin is actually a bit ugly, thin and short, and his popularity depends entirely on strength and luck, and now that he is gone, he is tantamount to giving up everything.
Teddy. Robin said: "I just want to be free, now every day is to hold concerts, release records, make movies, sign autographs, deal with reporters, this kind of life is terrible, I find that I don't even have myself, I have lost the ability to make music." If this continues, I doubt that I will become the walking dead. ”
Teresa Teng laughed and said: "Then you say that those of us who sing honestly are zombies." ”
"How dare you, if I don't mix well in Europe and the United States, I still have to beg for food with Ajun when I come back, I don't dare to offend you." Teddy. Robin joked.
Teresa Teng said: "Actually, I'm going to go to the book, but I don't even know how to speak now." ”
Teddy. Robin thought for a while and said: "Your agent is good, now that you have indeed reached a bottleneck in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong and Taiwan, the operation of the music scene there is more mature and international, which is a good choice." By the way, it is very hard for a person to work hard outside, and Yuben is not like Xinmatai, you can't speak Chinese all the time, so it's better to practice Yuyu quickly. ”
"Thank you for your concern, by the way, you must attend my last concert in Hong Kong." Teresa Teng said.
Teddy Robin said, "Okay, I'll be done listening before leaving." ”
Teresa Teng said: "When the time comes, I will invite Wang Zijun over, you are all musical talents, and you may be able to talk about it very well." ”
"Wang Zijun," Teddy Robin laughed, "he's a bit of an interesting person, and a good song is like selling cabbage." My English songs may not be remembered in a few years, but his songs are very local, memorable, and may still be covered decades later, I like singers who concentrate on writing. ”
Teresa Teng smiled: "If he knew what you said, maybe he would treat you as a confidant." ”
