314 [Complete Victory]
"The wind continues to blow, and I can't bear to go away,
There are tears in my heart, and I don't want to look at you with tears,
How many happy memories of the past,
Why don't I chase it with you
……”
In a bar in Lan Kwai Fong, young singers sing the most popular songs of recent days, but few of the customers in the bar listen to him seriously.
After singing a few songs, a middle-aged man shouted at the singer: "Jianzai, come over here." ”
Zhang Weijian put down the microphone and ran over and asked, "Manager, what are your orders?" ”
The manager took out 50 yuan and stuffed it into Zhang Weijian's hand and said, "You won't use it tomorrow." ”
Zhang Weijian was stunned, and asked with a dry throat, "What are you doing?" ”
"I found another singer who is better." As soon as the manager finished speaking, the singing in the bar began again.
Zhang Weijian turned his head to look, but it was a beautiful singer singing Anita Mui's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que".
The manager pointed to the beautiful singer and said, "See, that's Anita Mui's own sister, and she will be stationed in the bar in the future." ”
Zhang Weijian put away the 50 yuan, took his guitar, and walked out of the bar silently.
As soon as he walked to the street, Zhang Weijian covered his eyes with his hands and wiped away his tears before continuing to walk.
If the rich second generation like Zhang Guorong went to the bar to sing for a dream, then Zhang Weijian sang completely to make a living. His father left his wife and children behind four years ago and ran away with other women, and Zhang Weijian's mother had no job and could only earn a few livelihoods by working as a nanny and taking care of children.
In the past four years, Zhang Weijian's old house has been sold, and the money from the sale of the house has been spent, and he has not finished middle school so that he has to drop out of school and rely on singing in a bar to support his mother and younger siblings. Now that he has been fired by the bar manager, Zhang Weijian only feels that the sky has fallen.
Zhang Weijian has been around Lan Kwai Fong for a long time, and other bars have their own resident singers, so he has nothing to do with him.
Walking on the street in a daze, Zhang Weijian didn't know how he got home.
"Brother, are you back so early today?" His younger brother Zhang Weiyi was watching TV in a rented house, and dragged Zhang Weijian to sit down and said, "Tonight, Phoenix TV will broadcast "Looking for Qin", I heard that Mi Xue played Wu Tingfang. ”
"Well, see for yourself, I'll lie down for a while," Zhang Weijian fell on the ** and asked casually, "What about Mom and Little Sister?" ”
Zhang Weiyi said: "I haven't come back from selling fish balls yet, and I made my own dinner today." ”
Zhang Weijian thought about what job he should find in the future, his favorite thing is singing and playing football, and some time ago he also participated in the Chinese rookie singing contest jointly organized by Huaxing Company and TV**, but unfortunately he was eliminated after entering the top 30.
Just when Zhang Weijian was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard his younger brother Zhang Weiyi say: "By the way, brother, you can try this competition." ”
A piece of paper slapped on Zhang Weijian's chest, he picked it up and only glanced at it, and immediately turned over and sat up to read it carefully.
"The Voice of China Registration Form": "The Voice of China" is a large-scale music competition jointly organized by Phoenix Chinese Channel and Fengxing Records, this competition implements a music mentor system, and four popular singers will serve as mentors. While the contestants are singing, the four instructors will turn their backs to the audience until the contestants' singing voices impress the instructors......
Just talking about the voice, not looking at the looks, this is Zhang Weijian's ideal singing competition, he asked happily: "Yi Zai, where did you get this thing?" ”
"Yesterday there was a propaganda on TV, and I took a ride to the radio station after school to help you get the registration form." Zhang Weiyi said with his eyes fixed on the TV.
Zhang Weijian's success in Hong Kong is entirely due to his own efforts, but Zhang Weijian's later popularity in the mainland is largely due to his younger brother Zhang Weiyi's matchmaking. Zhang Weiyi became the agent of his brother Zhang Weijian for decades, but unfortunately later this person suffered from jīng divine disease, and his temper became irritable and eccentric, not only lost all his friends, but also fell out between their brothers.
"The competition is only official in November, why do you start signing up now?" Zhang Weijian carefully looked at the description of the event, only to know that after the registration audition was passed, all the contestants who passed the test could get a three-week professional training at Fengxing Records, and the training would be officially contested.
Even if you can't win an award, it's worth it to learn something at Fengxing Records, Zhang Weijian thought to himself.
Zhang Weijian devoted himself to "The Voice of China", and his younger brother Zhang Weiyi finally waited for "Looking for Qin" to be broadcast.
The theme song "The Highest Mandate of Heaven" sung by Zhang Guorong came from the TV, just looking at those opening pictures, Zhang Weiyi, a veteran fan of the novel "Looking for Qin", was excited.
At the beginning of the TV series, there is a group of solutions. The army ran wildly with loaded guns, surrounded a section of terracotta warriors and horses, and several archaeological team members wearing tunics found modern instruments at the foot of a terracotta army.
Then a Hong Kong expert who followed the archaeological team secretly called back to Hong Kong to tell his friend Dr. Wu You the strange news.
As soon as the screen turned, G4 team member Xiang Shaolong appeared at an international jewelry show, responsible for protecting Hong Kong's richest man, Li Dachao. Then came the appearance of international thieves, Xiang Shaolong's girlfriend was shot and died, and Xiang Shaolong was invited by Li Dachao to visit the underground research institute and invited him to participate in the time and space travel test.
Zhang Weiyi, a veteran fan of "Xun Qin", was not calm after watching it for a few minutes, and said to himself: "What's the matter, the screenwriter grew up eating, how can Xiang Shaolong be G4." There is actually a time shuttle, martial arts has changed to science fiction! ”
scolded and scolded, but Zhang Weiyi did not turn the stage, but continued to watch. Soon he found out that although the content of the TV version of "Xun Qin" has been greatly changed, the plot dialogue is light and humorous, and it is not bad for entertainment.
…………
…………
Kim Yong drama has been remade many times in movies and TV series, and every remake has attracted a lot of attention. As a martial arts novel with many fans, "Xun Qin Ji" is the first time to remake a TV series, which can be described as highly anticipated.
On the night of the premiere of "Looking for Qin", thousands of novel fans in Hong Kong waited in front of the TV early, but the results were mixed.
Maybe the plot of the novel has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are even fans of the novel waiting to watch the TV version of the ** scene, but the TV series has changed the plot beyond recognition from the first episode.
Many fans of fiction scolded while watching TV dramas, and after scolding, they didn't change the channel, and continued to watch on the TV.
The character design of "Looking for Qin" has received unanimous praise, and the ancient costumes worn by the protagonists and supporting characters are finally not the kind of costumes that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Media attention on the Sino-British negotiations has faded over time. The Sino-British negotiations in Beijing continued, but the progress of the negotiations was not revealed, and the people of Hong Kong went back to their old lives and no longer cared about political issues. And "Looking for Qin" also became a frequent visitor to the newspaper at this time, and the evaluation of this TV series was mixed.
Why hasn't the property market plummeted?
Now Kang Jianfei gets up every morning, the first thing he does is read the newspaper, and then complains about the stock market and property market. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he didn't play stocks after the negotiations began, otherwise he would not have fallen, and he might lose ** one day.
With the popularity of "Looking for Qin", Zhang Guorong's "The Wind Continues to Blow" is also selling wildly, and the sales volume has exceeded 100,000 copies.
Music critics also praised this record, and said that Zhang Guorong's singing voice "has a unique magnetic xìng and charm", and the lack of popularity in singing before is completely due to the song road is not right.
The big sale of Zhang Guorong's record once again proves the strength of Fengxing Records, the company has three double platinum singers Su Rui, Anita Mui, and Zhang Guorong, and there is also a popular idol girl group Happy Girl Group.
Huaxing Records has been left far behind, and in terms of record sales in recent months, Popular Records has even far surpassed Hong Kong Polygram to become the best performing record company in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Kang, the ratings of "Looking for Qin" broke 60 points last night!"
Kang Jianfei was squatting in the crew of "Looking for Qin", and Mei Xiaoqing, assistant choreographer, ran over and said excitedly.
"60 o'clock, 60 o'clock ......" The employees in the crew cheered.
This is the fifth day of the broadcast of "Xun Qin", and the ratings have broken through 60 points all the way.
"Ming Pao Weekly" commented: "There has never been such a strange thing, since the launch of "Xun Qin", you can hear viewers complaining that the adaptation is too bad. This kind of scolding has never stopped, but the ratings of "Looking for Qin" are getting higher and higher, and the people who scold continue to watch it, and those citizens who didn't like to read the novels of "Looking for Qin" before have gradually become loyal viewers of this TV series......"
In fact, it is very easy to understand that the people who scold "Xun Qin" are basically fans of this novel, and the reason why they scold is because the TV series adaptation is too big. But the quality of the TV series "Xun Qin" is there, all the martial arts dramas before the production of jīng Liang finished exploding, and even the fighting action scenes in it were filmed according to movie techniques, unlike TV**'s "The Legend of the Heroes" is still at the level of action movies in the 60s.
Of course, Kang Jianfei said before that the cost of 18,000 per episode is obviously not enough. After more than half a month of filming, Kang Jianfei calculated the account and found that the production cost of a single episode of "Xun Qin" had exceeded 22,000, which was almost twice as much as "The Legend of the Shè Eagle Heroes".
The benefits of jīng Liang's production are obvious, and few people have watched the TV** drama "Lang Gui Wan" starring Wang Mingquan, and the ratings have even dropped to single digits.
"Lang Returns to the Night" only aired 8 episodes, and was directly cut off by Fang Yihua, and Wang Tianlin was urgently recalled to supervise the second part of "The Legend of the Heroes of the Shè Eagle", "East Evil and West Poison".
Kang Jianfei's book signing and selling activities were also very popular, allowing Kang Jianfei to earn a lot of novel royalties, and Wu Ruiqing, a kid, also got a lot of benefits.
The two TV series went back and forth for a few rounds, and basically stabilized in the second week of the release of "East Evil and West Poison". Unlike the last time when the ratings were close to "Sister Tuogun", this time the ratings of "Xun Qin" remained high, remaining at about 60%, while "The Legend of the Shè Eagle Heroes: East Evil and West Poison" only had a rating of more than 20 points.
This time, TV** lost badly, and it was powerless to lose.
Wang Tianlin went home and sighed to his son Wang Jing: "There are talented people in the country, I knew that Ah Fei was clever, but I didn't expect to lose in his hands!" (To be continued.) )
