After the Gold Medal Group and Orange Sky Entertainment joined forces, the two groups immediately began to secretly pour dirty water on Xinxiang and Huayi's body, although the emperor of radio and television has issued a clear order not to allow newspapers and magazines to report the 'shady door' incident, but there are not too many newspapers and magazines that play side balls.

Li Lin, on the other hand, didn't pay attention to this matter.

At this time, he was wearing a moon-white robe and black cloth shoes and was filming the MV in a retro bamboo house.

This is the MV of "Orchid Pavilion Preface".

Because "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is the title song, the MV requirements are the most detailed, so it has always been pushed to the back of the shooting, as for the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" MV on the album press conference, it is just a group of pictures.

The real MV has never been completely completed from beginning to end.

"Li Lin."

Cao Xu's inspiration exploded, "Have you ever learned calligraphy?" ”

"Nope."

Li Lin shook his head.

"That's a pity." Cao Xu was a little regretful, "My original plan was to change the scene where you watched "Orchid Pavilion Preface" to copy "Orchid Pavilion Preface". ”

This scene is Li Lin watching "Orchid Pavilion Preface".

Use this picture to reveal the thoughts behind, but he just suddenly burst out of inspiration, watching "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is better than copying "Orchid Pavilion Preface", isn't there "Lanting Pro Post Book is like flowing water" in the lyrics? Copying the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is far more able to reflect the meaning of this sentence than watching the "Orchid Pavilion Preface".

"Li Lin, can you learn calligraphy temporarily? The kind that comes in a hurry. As he spoke, he watched with anticipation.

"Absolutely."

Li Lin nodded.

Past. His biggest regret when he listened to "Orchid Pavilion Prelude" was that the MV of the song "Orchid Pavilion Preface" was really not exciting, in fact, all of Jay Chou's MVs were not exciting.

Especially Chinese-style songs. Often, the MV of these songs is different from what fans imagined.

In the hearts of fans, the Chinese-style MVs of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and "Blue and White Porcelain" are antique and beautiful, but Jay Chou's MV looks very rough and has a perfunctory feeling.

Many fans say that watching the MVs of "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Orchid Pavilion Preface" simply ruined the image of these songs in my heart.

But it's normal to think about it.

If you use songs like "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Orchid Pavilion Prelude" to calculate the MV, there are three main problems. One is its own image.

To be honest, Jay Chou's own image is actually not too good-looking, from the time of his debut. He wins not by his looks, but by his talents.

His singing skills are actually very unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he is not very handsome. Arguably. The reason why he can become popular is entirely because of his talent.

But MV is different, it doesn't need talent, what it needs is image, it needs to perform the temperament of ancient people, and Jay Chou can't.

The second aspect is Jay Chou's acting skills.

As we all know, Jay Chou turned from a song to a shadow. wants to develop film and television songs, but his acting skills are really bad. Although he won the Best Newcomer Award, he was a poor rating from film critics.

Many of his fans said: Jay Chou, you better go back to making music.

However, Jay Chou is also a stubborn temper, he has always refused to return to his old profession, but has gone farther and farther, from music to acting to directing, and has achieved continuous jumps.

Although it is not very successful.

And it can be seen from here that Jay Chou can't conquer the MV that is too complicated, even if he wants to do it well, he will smash the MV because of his own acting problems.

The third issue is the funding for the shooting.

When Jay Chou was filming the MV, the funds were not too sufficient, after all, the album is not like movies and TV series, and in terms of income, the album is not as good as theirs, so in terms of investment, even if it is Jay Chou, it is impossible to get too much investment.

Especially after Jay Chou left the company and went it alone, his MV became more and more shabby, and the music environment at that time was also deteriorating.

The impact of piracy and digital music has greatly reduced the sales of albums, and many musicians have said: The current album is not profitable at all, and the reason why the album is released is completely to gain fame and make up for it elsewhere.

Where else is it? Of course, it is a good endorsement for commercial performances and advertisements.

In such a situation, naturally no one is willing to invest heavily in creating a MV.

Generally speaking, being able to invest millions to create an album MV is already a very high investment, but compared with the investment of tens of millions of dollars in TV series and hundreds of millions of dollars in movies, you can know that this investment will not create a good album at all.

But Li Lin is different.

First, Li Lin's acting skills are good, and the image of this body is also very suitable for ancient costumes, which can be seen from the fact that he is known as the most handsome Song Qingshu.

Second, there is no piracy in this time and space, although it has also been impacted by digital music, but digital music also needs to be paid.

So the return on the album is quite high, and he is willing to invest a lot of money.

For example, his album "Return" has broken 10 million yuan from the company's budget alone, and the company will increase investment at any time.

So they are not short of money at all, and they can naturally strive for excellence in the MV of the album.

Like the rough picture in Jay Chou's MV, there is no zài in Li Lin's "Return" album.

"Wait."

Cao Xu stopped Li Lin again, and he thought of a great idea again, "I just thought about it, in fact, we don't need you to practice calligraphy, we can take the cut way to shoot." ”

After speaking, Cao Xu suddenly realized that the Li Lin in front of him was not the little artists he had worked with before, he was currently the hottest superstar in the whole of Asia.

He changed back and forth, and I don't know if Li Lin will have the patience to be obedient.

He has seen a lot of artists who play big names, and he knows that big names are not easy to serve.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Lin just smiled, "You are the director, you decide, I'm just an actor, you just treat me as a puppet." ”

Marionette, a term used by European artists to ridicule Hollywood artists, but Li Lin used it to talk about himself, of course, not self-deprecation.

It's very simple, he thinks that before his acting skills are at the peak, it is better to be a marionette, of course the actor director with aura likes it, but actors with aura often like to change the play, and this, the director doesn't like it.

Li Lin also likes to change dramas, but he knows what to say on what occasion.

……

When Li Lin was filming the MV, Qi Xiangdong of the Gold Medal Group began to contact Zhang Yimou.

The location they set was a café in the imperial capital.

"Director Zhang, first of all, I wish your "City Full of Golden Armor" a long box office success." When Qi Xiangdong saw Zhang Yimou, he stood up to greet Zhang Yimou, "I heard that Director Zhang has been in demand recently, and many people have expressed interest in Director Zhang. ”

"Tell me, what the hell are you doing with me?" Zhang Yimou waved his hand a little irritably, "I hate you guys the most." ”

Recently, many people have contacted him, and they have been talking to him one by one, and they have not been on the topic for half a day, which is simply a waste of his time.

"I just heard that Director Zhang has been a little annoyed recently, so I came to relieve Director Zhang's troubles." Qi Xiangdong took a sip of tea gently, "Director Zhang has been a little difficult since he offended the four major theater chains!" ”

"I am riddled with scandals, and "The City Full of Golden Armor" is not satisfactory in terms of film scheduling."

is different from Li Lin's previous life, Zhang Yimou in this time and space has entered a very embarrassing situation because of the relationship between the battle between radio and television and the theater chain that broke out in advance, that is, revenge from the four major theater chains.

Although the four major cinema chains were defeated in the war with radio and television, the four major cinema chains still firmly controlled most of the box office contribution of the domestic film market.

They are resentful of the film and television companies involved in broadcasting and the war between them.

In terms of film scheduling, they have done a lot of tricks, and as for New Picture and Zhang Yimou, they regard them as the culprits and make it extremely difficult to schedule films.

Whether it is the number of theaters or the release date, except for a China Film and a Wanda, they are making things difficult for the new picture and Zhang Yimou, if it weren't for the fear of the rebound of radio and television, they would have directly blocked the new picture and Zhang Yimou.

Rao is like this, and the life of the new picture is not easy, but these are all done in secret, and they are not online, even if the radio and television notice it, they are not easy to meddle in this matter.

This is the same as Li Lin's previous life.

In Li Lin's previous life, Zhang Yimou encountered a counterattack from the theater after helping Radio and Television suppress the theater chain, and in the film scheduling, he was suppressed one after another, and some rumors that Zhang Yimou occupied the number of film schedules are also endless.

If Zhang Yimou really dominates the film schedule, his movies will not stop at that kind of box office, you must know that there are not a few movies that break the box office of one billion in later generations, but Zhang Yimou, a director who was once beautiful, has gradually been unable to keep up.

And Zhang Yimou also seems to be aware of the suppression from the theater chain, he knows very well that under the suppression of the theater chain, no commercial film can win the box office, so he found another way to find a balance between business and art.

interviewed and visited the theater line, while looking for awards to support his face.

However, the suppression of the cinema chain is pressing step by step, and Zhang Yimou's temptation is completely useless.

And Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou broke up, which may not be the reason.

Zhang Yimou, who has lost his box office aura, is no longer a director who can support a company for the new picture, which is probably the source of the contradiction.

Li Lin understood this, so Qi Xiangdong handed Zhang Yimou an olive branch.

"Director Zhang, our Gold Group can help you solve these problems." Qi Xiangdong: The gold medal cinema chain has gradually integrated into the mainstream cinema circle in China, and it is impossible not to give its face.

"You should understand that the new picture can't solve this problem, not only the new picture, Orange Sky Entertainment, and Huayi, they can't solve it, except for our gold medal group." (To be continued......)
