Chapter 44 Building Asia's No. 1 Women's Heavenly Troupe
In the end, Meng Chao will let them imitate the Twelve Women's Orchestra, where each girl learns at least one instrument, so as to avoid relying only on face and figure, unable to impress fans who really pay attention to strength.
Of course, Meng Chao will choose musical instruments for them according to their skills, for example, if they are not talented, they will choose easier wind instruments, such as ocarina, gourd silk, Sass style, etc., as for those with strong talents, they can learn drums, guitars, keyboards, etc., and those who are stronger can play violin or erhu and the like.
Anyway, it is necessary for each girl to master at least one musical instrument as a self-defense skill, and then they must practice singing skills to become a truly powerful girl group!
Meng Chao's goal is to organize and build an Asian women's group before the atmosphere of the Japanese and Korean women's groups has not yet blown to China, in addition to making them popular in China, he also plans to break out of the country and go to the world.
In the entertainment industry in 1986, there was basically no talk of a women's group, and even there were relatively few girl groups, so the establishment of the happy girl group was absolutely epoch-making!
Huang Baiming in the parallel world has also done this, but the Happy Girl Group he formed is just for the movie service, and he released records with the theme songs and interludes of several movies such as "Happy Ghost" and "Happy Paradise", and released records under his own new Yibao records, in line with the idea that fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields!
But the effect of the record was not very good, so Huang Baiming also shelved the plan of the Happy Girl Group, and by the time the nineties, Xinyicheng and Xinyibao had completely collapsed, and the Happy Girl Group naturally dispersed.
And now Meng Chao has signed long-term contracts with twelve girls, except for Guan Zhilin's contract is relatively loose, the rest are at least long-term contracts of more than five years, Meng Chao will use the memories obtained in the parallel world to come up with a way to make them popular, and finally in addition to the musical benefits, Meng Chao can also have a lot of young and beautiful actresses, who can provide their own New Century Film Company for filming, and can even set up a brokerage company to cooperate with other film and television companies in the future!
……
After the establishment of the Happy Girl Group, Meng Chao's first movie "Happy Ghost" is gradually facing the next picture, and in the more than 40 days since its release, it has accumulated more than 49 million box office, and I believe that it will definitely be able to break through the box office mark of 50 million when it is painted for a while!
At 1986 prices, the salary of an ordinary worker was less than 2,000 yuan, while the price of a lunch box was 3 to 5 yuan, and the average movie ticket was less than 12 yuan.
So such a box office result is still the first film of a film company that has just been established, and it can be said that it is completely against the sky.
Among them, in addition to the quality of the movie is really hard enough, Meng Chao's recent participation in the Youth Innovation Competition has accumulated popularity and fans that have brought at least 15 million box office increases to the movie!
At this time, it was already February 1986, and the Spring Festival was approaching, and Meng Chao's movie box office growth had begun to show fatigue, plus Meng Chao was originally a newcomer in the film industry, so he naturally had to make way for the old-timers.
What's more, at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, there are such as "Rich Train" by Brother Hong Jinbao on the Golden Harvest side, "Best Lucky Star" cooperated with Hong Jinbao by Mecca Woli of Struggle Film Company, and "Detective Chocolate" of Xu Brothers Film Company is ready to be released in line, so naturally there is nothing to do with Meng Chao.
However, Meng Chao's "Happy Ghost" made such a big noise, which is also highly recognized, among which Gao Zhisen, as a director, first received an invitation from the Directors Guild and invited him to attend the Spring Dinner of the Directors Guild with Meng Chao, a film investor and producer!
……
Approaching the Spring Festival, many companies in Yanjing have begun to take annual leave, so Meng Chao's two companies have also begun to gradually become idle.
And taking advantage of this time, Meng Chao also accepted to participate in the spring tea party of the Directors Association with Gao Zhisen, the so-called spring tea party is actually just a tea party during the Spring Festival, and those who will not be present are basically directors and bosses in the film industry, so it can be said that it is not important, but it can also be said to be very important!
Because sometimes great movies may be produced in the process of small talk, of course, it is not just small talk, all the people present are people in the film industry, and the topics of conversation are all related to movies, and sometimes they will put forward suggestions that are very powerful for the development of movies for everyone's reference.
When I came to the Directors Guild's building in Yanjing, there were already hundreds of people in the auditorium, all of whom were well-known figures in the film industry, although most of them were behind the scenes, but as long as the stars in the entertainment industry saw any of them, they would inevitably come forward and hug their thighs.
"Congratulations, Brother Long! Your "Police Story" has won more than 50 million box office, and the box office of the other two movies with Brother Hong Jinbao is also very good, it seems that the kung fu movies in China will depend on you in the future. ”
The first thing Meng Chao saw after entering was a slightly chubby director, and at a glance he recognized it as Wang Jing, a very famous commercial director in the parallel world, graduated from the Chinese Department of Xiangjiang University, and his father was Wang Tianlin, one of the most powerful producers of TVB.
Originally, he had been working as a screenwriter in the film and television city, and after making a little money, Wang Jing began to invest in movies, using the characters of his TV series "The King of a Thousand Kings", the box office of the movie was not bad, but Wang Jing, who made a lot of money, was obsessed with gambling, and recently lost his pants, but he didn't dare to let people in the circle know.
Listening to Wang Jing's compliments, Cheng Long said with a smile: "Thank you, if you have time in the evening, why don't you go and have a drink together?" I have a friend in Yanjing who owns a private club, and there are a lot of fun things in it......"
When Wang Jing saw that it was Brother Cheng Long who was invited, he knew that he didn't have to pay for it himself, so he naturally smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with Brother Long to see it in the evening." ”
After the two of them saw Meng Chao walking in, they stared at him one after another.
Meng Chao knew that he was a newcomer in the film industry after all, and it was impossible for the two seniors to greet him, so he took the initiative to step forward and shake hands and said: "Director Wang Jing, hello Brother Cheng Long, happy New Year!" ”
"Happy New Year!"
The two of them were very satisfied when they saw that Meng Chao was so good at being a person, without the slightest arrogance after the movie was a big hit, so they were a lot more polite to Meng Chao, Wang Jing is also a person, and praised with a smile at this time: "Meng Chao really looks much more handsome than on TV, I have been paying attention to you since you were an actor, and I have never been able to find a chance to cooperate with you, I didn't expect your development this year to be so powerful, you made a movie with a box office of 50 million, and you have become a popular talent singer, you have to take care of your brother if it becomes popular in the future!" ”
