Chapter 21: The Turning Point of Sarajevo

On Friday, Yan Qing had no plans to go out, and after getting up early to do daily vocal training and finishing breakfast, he was extremely self-disciplined to follow his own row plan and continue to pull the remaining film works in the studio studio building.

"Most of the videos in digital format have no slots and are not hidden in the storeroom."

Yan Qing complained silently in his heart when he screened the film.

Sure enough, the "Last Dream" selected in the morning is very normal, a love movie about the ten-mile ocean field that happened in Shanghai and Haihai in the twenties of the last century, and there is no emoji material.

…………

In the past few days, before going to bed, Yan Qing will seriously consider his Internet addiction:

"I can't keep this kind of human baggage that alienates the Internet and social information all the time.

And the magnitude of the change can't be too drastic, you can't jump out immediately and change yourself to a smartphone, and turn into a low-headed person who is keen on surfing the Internet with a real fragrance, so that idiots can see that there is something wrong with them.

Miao Miao also mentioned before that she would use the computer to work and check information on the Internet, but the frequency was not very high.

So I have to work out this change of attitude gradually and naturally, especially in front of Miao Miao."

…………

So at noon, when Yan Qing and Miao Miao were eating together in the restaurant of the inverted seat room, Yan Qing and Miao Miao mentioned lightly that in order to prepare for the program that was about to start recording, he needed to check the information on the Internet, and wanted to use the computer of the general manager's office when Miao Miao went to the headquarters of Xiaoyu in the afternoon.

Hearing Yan Qing's words, Miao Miao didn't have any abnormal reaction, she nodded and motioned for Yan Qing to take it easy.

After receiving a whispering message, Miao Miaocai told Yan Qing with some excitement that she had been talking to Pearl Satellite TV about the exclusive copyright authorization contract for the TV variety show "Talent Co., Ltd." in the morning.

The scanned copy of the contract text just sent by Pearl Satellite TV said in black and white that they were willing to pay a pre-tax sum of 5 million Chinese dollars for it, which would go from the special production fee of "Talent Co., Ltd.", and it would be paid to the studio's account at the end of August.

After reporting to work, the little fortune fan supported his chin with both hands, flashed his big eyes, and said in his mouth:

"Brother Qing'er, I found out that the money earned from making a good song is almost enough to catch up with us making a movie or acting in thirty or forty musicals and dramas.

In Miao Miao's words, it can be seen that Yan Qing's studio has not made much money in recent years.

…………

It may also be because in the past few years, I can only take on some documentary films that are destined not to be in commercial theaters, and take on musicals and drama performances in the Imperial Capital Renyi Theater to maintain my state and continue to polish my acting skills.

It's just that in this way, the natural income is not comparable to before, after all, 13 years ago, he maintained an average production speed of two commercial films a year, so Miao Miao, who is in charge of the studio's finances, should be very hard. ”

…………

Yan Qing speculated silently with distress for Miao Miao.

After Miao Miao went out in the afternoon, Yan Qing sat in front of the computer openly and began to use the Internet to query the information he wanted according to the plan he had planned earlier.

The first is the change of the parallel world, after some inquiry, Yan Qing found:

Sarajevo, which was supposed to kick off the First World War, did not fire those two shots.

On June 28, 1914, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophia, who had visited Sarajevo, peacefully celebrated their fourteenth wedding anniversary, which had lasted sixty years of marriage.

"The dust of history is a mountain when it falls on everyone's head, and such ordinariness is not a kind of happiness for the Peddinand couple."

Yan Qing smiled knowingly and continued to read.

The course of the world line has reached a turning point here, and there has not been a single transcontinental war in this world, and peace and development have become the mainstream voice of this world.

With the unremitting efforts of several generations of revolutionary ancestors, Huaguo has also built Huaguo from a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country into a prosperous and powerful socialist country.

The current world pattern is that China and Mimi are leading a number of countries in the East and the West, and the two sides are catching up with each other in a series of healthy competitions in the fields of economy, science and technology, culture, and sports.

This is the best era, an era of peace, cooperation, and competition, and the young people of the East and the West have almost always learned from each other the strengths and advantages of their competitors on the other side of the Pacific since childhood, and the popularity of Mandarin and English education is beyond the understanding of Yan Qing in this world.

As he had speculated before, the binding power of contracts in this era was extremely high, and there were not even a few contract dispute cases on the Internet.

Integrity and the ability to perform are everyone's second ID cards in this era.

Yan Qing turned his search attention to the entertainment industry he was engaged in.

He first found the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), an online database that records and scores movie actors, movies, TV shows, TV stars, and movie productions around the world, which is jointly built and maintained by the Chinese and Mimi officials.

He clicked on the list of IMDb's 250 best films in film history hanging high on the website, and looked at the public information of these film works one by one, including the basic plot direction, director, actors, production team, award records and other information.

The proportion of Chinese films and English films on the high-scoring film list is about five or five pairs, and some classic works from previous lives have not sprouted in this soil, nor have they recognized even a movie star and director he was familiar with in his previous life in the main creative team of these films, all of whom are unfamiliar movie titles and filmmakers.

The world's "Titanic" royal cruise ship was also launched on May 31, 1911 in the port of Belfast, Northern Ireland, and its two sister royal cruise ships "Britannica" and "Olympic" spent more than 20 years of safe commercial operation under the White Star Line Company, experienced a total of 321 transatlantic voyages and retired without tragedy, and there was no later film that went down in the history of human cinema.

There is no "Titanic", which was released in 1997-1998 and once unstoppably swept the box office charts of more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and finally won a total box office of more than $2.1 billion.

Also because of the changes in the world line, there is no "The Shawshank Redemption", which was voted by more than 1.6 million IMDb members as the No. 250 best film in film history.

There is no "The Godfather" trilogy that goes toe-to-toe with "The Shawshank Redemption" on the list.

Forrest Gump who didn't run.

There is also no Christopher Nolan who exported excellent film works such as "Batman: Rise of the Dark Knight", "Inception", and "Memory Fragments".

There are more than 100 Chinese-language films on the list, and even two of Yan Qing's previous works are prominently listed at the end of the list. It's just that there are no works of the national teacher that he once liked very much, "Alive", "Red Sorghum", "Farewell My Concubine", "In the Mood for Love" without the King of Sunglasses, "Infernal Affairs" trilogy, and "Gunfire" and "Dark Flower" of Galaxy Pictures.

However, the setting of authoritative film awards is roughly similar to the development trend of previous lives:

Every year on the eve of the Spring Festival, the Golden Dragon Award, the highest Chinese film sponsored by the National Film Art Association, and the Academy of Film Sciences, Arts and Sciences in February every year, represent the highest honor of global commercial films.

The three A-category international film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice in Europe are responsible for honoring auteur films in the art genre.

Yan Qing searched the downstream data of the film and television industry chain such as the total number of screens at home and abroad, the box office rankings over the years, and the total box office, and sure enough, in this parallel time and space with a strong sense of copyright, the prosperity of the entire movie-watching market far exceeded that of Yan Qing's previous life.

After learning about the changes in the world film industry, Yan Qing set his sights on the music industry, due to the differences in culture, language, and development genres, the two superpowers on both sides of the Great Flat Ocean each have their own independent pop music authoritative charts.

The authoritative music list in China is called the Supreme Golden Melody Chart, and the Billboard list in the United States is responsible for ranking the weekly on-demand and sales of Chinese music, English and other minor language music.

Judging from the sales data of hit singles and albums displayed on the two charts, the global intellectual property situation in this era is quite good.

In Yan Qing's previous life, due to the huge impact of pirated digital music sources on the record industry brought about by the spirit of Internet sharing, it did not happen in this world, and the singers who can produce excellent works are still living very nourishingly.

Many of the hit singles on the charts were even released digitally, focusing on online sales.

The sales statistics of the weekly number one singles on the two charts are often 30 million songs. According to the conventional statistical method in the record industry, the sales of these single-twist synthetic albums are all more than three diamond certifications, plus some continuous and stable copyright licensing fees, it is no wonder that Miao Miao will sigh at the singer's rich income.

Yan Qing carefully checked the list of champion singles on the two charts in the past ten years, and clicked on some champion singles with the same name as his previous life.

In the end, Yan Qing confirmed that although these renamed songs are very pleasant, they are not the melodies of Yan Qing's memory.

It seems that after the change of the world line, whether it is the film industry or the pop music industry, the essence of the two worlds is not duplicated.

In terms of musical style, the pan-English pop music scene led by the United States has embarked on an era of pop, hip-hop rap, rhythm and blues, punk, gothic, hardcore rock, and rural elements that Yan Qing is familiar with.

The style of the Chinese music pop music scene is much more tolerant and open than Yan Qing's memory in his previous life, and while the Chinese national style music is impressive, all kinds of niche music are also developing very well.

In the weekly number one singles of the Supreme Golden Melody Chart for nearly ten years, Yan Qing heard some works in the Chinese rap, ball, punk, British rock, and even hardcore metal genres that made him feel quite eye-catching.

"It's the best time for musicians."

Yan Qing thought silently while listening to various styles of weekly champion singles.
