A few days have passed in the blink of an eye since the chance encounter at Beiying University, and what Qi Lei wanted to do when he came to Beijing was finally able to come to a temporary end until this time......

Regarding the audition of Jin Yong's martial arts TV series in Zhang Jizhong's director team of Huayi Company, the results were obtained as early as two days ago!

Not surprisingly, Qi Lei finally got the role of Yang Guo in the play "The Condor Heroes", and although the heroine Qi Lei did not interfere much, she still found the Chinese-American beauty Liu Yifei to play as in the original work.

It has to be said that history is still history, and even if people can change some things, they can't change all history!

As for the other supporting role in the play, Guo Jing's daughter Xiaodong evil Guo Xiang, also let the original actor Yang Mi play. However, at this time, Yang Mi has become the first star to officially sign a contract in the Qi Lei film and television studio!

These two consecutive good news have made Xiao Mi Mi smile like a row......

Then the other characters in the play are **, and Qi Lei doesn't pay much attention to it! Anyway, he's already got the results he wants, and that's enough. Moreover, his energy began to be put into the next two things, and he couldn't spare any extra time at all......

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a month since Qi Lei and his agent KING came to Beijing!

During this period of time, Qi Lei and Ah KING sat in the Beijing branch of Huayi Company, openly recruiting dancers and musicians from the society.

Because of the strong popularity of the two films that relied on the TV series "Meteor Garden" and the movie "Ip Man", the number of people who came to participate in the audition during this period of time can reach thousands of people!

In other words, Qi Lei and Ah KING have to face at least hundreds of auditions a day, which can be said to be really for how the two of them stopped and rested from morning to night.

However, the hard work has finally paid off!

The Beijing audition lasted 23 days, and the number of auditions was as many as 1,723 people, and the curtain finally came to an end! In the next few days, after many discussions and studies with his agent KING, four people were initially appointed to join the Qi Lei studio to take on the work of soundtrack and dance in song and dance.

They are Nie Yongyuan of Beiying University, Zhang Jie of Beiwu University, Rongguang and Tian Keren of Beiyin University!

As soon as the 4 people here enter the studio, plus the other 4 dance troupe members that Huayi Company found for Qi Lei before, the number of Qi Lei's exclusive dance troupe members will reach 8 people!

At this point, the top priority in Qi Lei's heart has finally been reluctantly completed! (Revival's company was formed according to his own standards, and the company needed at least 12 dancers and 6 musicians.)

The members of the dance troupe are Nie Yongyuan, Zhang Jie, Kong Guanghui, Liu Bowei, Tian Keren, Ji Ning, Zheng Weiwei, and Hao Ling.

Several of them are students from the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other famous art universities, or professional practitioners who have graduated from the new year. For hip-hop dance, which is emerging and the entertainment industry of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, it also has its own good performance and technical experience.

Among these eight people, the girls' Ji Ning and the boys' Nie Yongyuan have the best dance skills. Therefore, at the first meeting after the formation of the troupe, Qi Lei announced on the spot that he would appoint these two people as the chief and deputy leaders of the dance troupe, who would be responsible for handling all the daily affairs of the dance troupe!

This is another challenge for Ji Ning and Nie Yongyuan, who are still students, in their dance careers!

……

March!

This is the most memorable month for Huayi Company, for Qi Lei, and even for the dance company that Qi Lei has just formed!

On March 3, 2001, members of Reviel's exclusive dance troupe took a plane to Tokyo, Japan. There, there are professional hip-hop dance instructors arranged by Huayi Company for them at a great price, waiting for them, ready to carry out a one-and-a-half-month Japanese-style hip-hop training program!

Then, in May, the company will fly to the United States!

It is there that the real birthplace of hip-hop dance, where the members of Reviver's dance troupe can receive the true pure hip-hop dance.

At that time, Qi Lei will also fly to the United States to train with all the members of the dance company!

In August, when the group returned from their studies. At that time, Qi Lei and his team could be regarded as truly transforming and becoming a top outstanding team in the entertainment industry! …,

Of course, these are things on the one hand, and on the other hand, things that are equally important to Qi Lei are......

On March 10, 2001, there was a big news from Hong Kong! …… Since the release of Qi Lei's first film "Ip Man" at the beginning of the year, it has led the top spot in the Chinese film market with a total box office of 10.26 million RMB.

followed by a series of movies such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "In the Mood for Love", "Stunning Thief", "My Savage Classmate", "Dark War 2".

The reason why it can have such good box office results is actually not much surprising. After all, the "meteor" tide that was blown by Qi Lei at the beginning of the year blew the two sides of the strait and the three places into darkness!

This youth idol TV series, under the careful screenwriting and starring of Qi Lei, the strong cooperation between Huayi Company and Tencent, and the use of the Internet to surround traditional marketing and publicity, has successfully achieved earth-shattering results!

The power of this "meteor" wind blowing across the Taiwan Strait and the three places is much stronger than the "Huanzhu" wind a few years ago! ……

Naturally, under the premise of this kind of attention, Qi Lei's "Ip Man" naturally attracts more attention from fans than other movies of the same period!

Of course, the wonderful shooting of the movie itself is another big reason why it has been a hit at the box office!

In general, it's not that other films are bad! It's just that compared with other movies, many real fighting scenes in "Ip Man", the expression of various practical martial arts techniques, and the structure of the characters in the story are all a little more fresh than other movies in the same schedule.

It is this little bit of freshness that is popular among fans, and it also created the box office success of the drama "Ip Man".

In fact, to be honest, since the golden development period of movies in the 90s of the 20th century has come to an end! The Chinese film industry has been in a decadent state for many years......

The overly repetitive storyline, the over-enthusiasm for small-budget film investment, the shoddy production of post-production, and the handover of young and old film actors all tell the world that the Chinese film market is on a road of a dead cycle at this time.

If it weren't for the fact that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which came out this year, successfully entered the Oscars and was nominated for a round and came back. Maybe China's film market doesn't know when it will be sluggish before it will shine again!

But not to mention, with the title of successfully nominated for an Oscar. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" finally made a small profit at the box office in China, and in the end, the film ended with a total box office score of more than 15 million RMB!

15 million, which seems to be a lot, but when used for a film that can be successfully nominated for an Oscar, it seems that the results are so dismal!

If it weren't for the fact that the film made a lot of money back in the North American and European markets, it is estimated that the crew and its investors would even have the heart to cry!

Let's go back to Qi Lei's "Ip Man", which was generally praised by fans after its release, allowing it to reap good box office results. However, this is not the biggest factor that determines "Ip Man" to sit firmly on the top spot at the box office!

As mentioned before, "Ip Man" has a sense of realism and freshness that is not found in previous kung fu films, which makes it have a certain box office.

And on the Internet, after a senior fan's comment was issued, it really led to the biggest reason why "Ip Man" became popular at the box office!

"The storyline of the film is based on real people and real events, with a compact plot, distinct characters, real and dynamic action scenes, and real use of various martial arts genres and techniques in the play. Among them, the actor's Wing Chun boxing is even more styled, a style that can only be reflected in a generation of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee!! ”

A comment was born, and it immediately set off a thousand waves in the online world...... It was only then that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" really admitted defeat!

There is no way to do it...... If "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" successfully entered the Oscars and made it a good result.

That "Ip Man" successfully integrated the style of a generation of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee's movies into the promotion of his film. Even if the dragons and tigers of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" don't lie down and run out to shout, they can't compete with the three words "Bruce Lee!!

And this wave has been maintained for a long time under the joint operation of Huayi Company and Tencent Company! At this time, the immediacy and speed of the network are maximized. …,

For a while, in the online world, Qi Lei's personal Weibo on Tencent's homepage was stepped on by someone! Tencent's servers have been challenged again and again.

There is no way, although Tencent has installed a server at this time, to provide services specifically for Revish's personal Weibo. However, the terrifying number of daily average point machine views of 1 million times makes all the superstars across the Taiwan Strait and the three places who know about this matter all tremble and are terrified! ……

So, in March, "Ip Man" took advantage of the earth-shattering killing created by the invincible weapon of the Internet and successfully entered the nomination list of the 20th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2001.

Its 13 nominations are even more in line with the 14 nominations of the famous director Ang Lee's work "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Ip Man" won a total of Best Picture, Director, Original Film Music, Sound Effects, Visual Effects, Leading Actor, Supporting Actress, Cinematography, Action Direction, Screenwriter, Editor, Supporting Actor and New Actor.

And when Qi Lei learned the news from the mouth of his agent A KING, Qi Lei did not say anything or make any crazy and strange expressions.

It's just that when the agent Ah KING walked out of the door and left Qi Lei alone in his studio, there was a burst of ghost crying wolf howling and roaring from inside, and the noise of the bench being violently slapped continuously!

"Woo~Wow!! ~~Roar Roar Roar...... Academy Awards, ah! ~Wow......"

"Bang bang bang...... Bumper ~ Bang ~ ~ Bumper Bumper !! ”

THE NOISE LASTED FOR A LONG TIME, WHICH MADE THE AGENT KING STAND AT THE DOOR IT WAS FUNNY AND ANGRY, AND HE SHOOK HIS HEAD AND THOUGHT: IN THE EARLY TWO YEARS, MORE THAN 730 DAYS, QI LEI WOW...... Today, you have finally become famous!! Congratulations~
