Chapter 18: For the Movie (Part II)

Beautiful, beautiful and distinctive girls have always been a selling point for male audiences to enter the cinema.

Otherwise, there would be no vase in the film industry, and in "Happy Ghost", both Guan Zhilin and Li Lizhen were the kind of girls who were extremely beautiful when they were young, and they all had their own merits and characteristics, and they immediately caught the eyes of these male audiences!

And then when Meng Chao sang the song "Please Follow Me" to the five girls on the beach, it also caused a lot of sensation in the screening hall!

"This seems to be the producer of the movie, right? I didn't expect to be so young and handsome! ”

"I don't think I've heard this song before, so it can't be original, right?"

"If I can create a song specifically for the movie, I should be full of sincerity, and now I have more expectations for the following plot, this song is really good!"

……

As the film continued to be screened, the audience's excitement and enthusiasm also brought Meng Chao a lot of confidence, and this first step seems to have completely passed!

If the other four movie theaters can also have such attendance and praise, then it seems that this movie can win more cinemas and more screens to be screened, and even the number of shows and film schedules may be adjusted to a certain extent, then the box office will continue to rise!

However, Meng Chao's idea is still to hope that most of the movie theaters across the country can see this "Happy Ghost", but this idea is still a bit incredible, for a low-budget comedy movie, coupled with the premise that there are no big-name stars and producers, this idea can be called delusional at all!

In the parallel world, "Happy Ghost" is indeed small and big, and it is indeed in the case of insufficient publicity, and the new art city is not optimistic about the situation, it bucked the trend and won tens of millions of box office, which made Huang Baiming raise his eyebrows, but there is a very important premise in this!

That is, although the Xinyicheng Film Company at that time was not optimistic about this movie, since it had been filmed, as the financier behind Xinyicheng, Lei Juekun, the owner of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, still arranged for "Happy Ghost" to be released in the cinemas of its cinemas, and immediately increased the number of screens screened after the results were a little gratifying, and also adjusted the time and number of screenings, which can be said to be enough support!

Compared with this, "Happy Ghost" created by Meng Chao in this world is a little congenital.

Because Meng Chao does not have the support of a strong cinema company like Princess Jin in the parallel world, although he got Director Jia, who is mainly responsible for the Shuangbei Cinema Line, but he only agreed to the screening, and greater support will only be left to other more famous independent film companies and government-owned satellite film companies, not to Meng Chao!

So this fact also made Meng Chao clearly realize that his energy is still not enough, in addition to funds and connections, if he wants to continue to mix in the entertainment industry, Meng Chao also needs greater fame!

So, in Meng Chao's opinion, it's time to do something for his own movie!

There are many ways to gain fame, if you want to act, it is naturally the most ideal to be able to receive an important role in a large-scale movie or TV series, such as the veteran Xiangjiang TV drama actor Li Yaoshen, who is recognized as having strong acting skills in the parallel world but has always been unambitious, has risen strongly for two consecutive years with the supporting role Dai Congwen in "Xiucai Meets the Soldier" and Chai Jiu, the protagonist in "Women and Heroes", and has become the first brother of the TV station!

However, judging from Meng Chao's current situation, "Happy Ghost" has begun to be screened, even if he really chooses a very good role with capital to join the group now, by the time the new drama is broadcast, his movie will already be drawn, and he will still make hair for the movie!

So there is only one way left in front of Meng Chao's eyes, that is, to play and tap his other profession, that is, singer!

Meng Chao has been praised for his good singing since he was a child, and he has been assigned by the head teacher to perform in the show since elementary school, although he is an amateur singer, but he has also undergone systematic training in adulthood, plus he has six or seven years of experience in bars and song halls, and he is definitely a professional singer.

In addition, there are also those classic songs from the parallel world in the devouring memory, so Meng Chao has a great chance of success in the music world again!

However, at present, the record industry has shrunk very much in this era of advanced technology and Internet progress, and the time required to pour records is still too long, which is not in line with Meng Chao's urgent need for fame now, so it can't be quickly effective!

As for directly publishing new songs on the Internet, it is not impossible, but most online singers will face a problem, that is, whether the singers are popular or not, and it is not the result that Meng Chao currently wants!

So if you want to gain fame quickly, there is only one way out, and that is to participate in a large draft!

In 1985, when the Internet was developed, the draft was no longer a new term, in fact, major TV stations and even sometimes large private enterprises would hold singer talent shows with different schedules, but if you want to become famous the fastest, you naturally have to be on CCTV!

After Meng Chao's careful investigation, he found a talent show that is now hot, that is, CCTV's Youth Singer-Songwriter Competition, referred to as the Youth Innovation Competition!

This talent show looks a bit similar to "Chinese Good Music" in the parallel world, mainly for the purpose of selecting new singers with excellent singing and songwriting, and it is definitely an annual large-scale variety show created by CCTV!

In recent years, local provincial TV stations have developed very rapidly, and they have threatened the absolute status of CCTV, and even the ratings of some similar programs of CCTV have begun to be surpassed by local TV stations, so Gu Haifeng, the new director of CCTV, combined with the trend of this year's draft, finally decided to hold a talent show.

However, the auditions of TV stations around the world are mainly based on the selection of good voices, and generally only focus on the singer's singing skills and stage performance ability, and even pay attention to the singer's appearance, but do not pay attention to the creative ability!

Of course, good singers don't necessarily write their own songs, but in this era of developed networks, there are too many good voices, especially many Internet singers like to put their cover works on the Internet, and some sing no worse than the original songs.

However, because of the development of science and technology, the copyright protection of music is not good enough, so what is actually lacking in this era is not a good sound, but a good work!

A singer who sings and writes well is as rare as a dragon and phoenix among people, so CCTV is ready to raise the manpower of the whole country to create a truly perfect bright superstar, so as to create a talent show that affects the entire era!
