Chapter 430: Who the hell is Zhou Yang!
So far.
Huaxing Entertainment currently has 15 signed artists, 8 agents, and 32 permanent employees.
In Huaxia, it is still a small-scale entertainment company.
However, as of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the film and television box office data of Huaxing in 07 has shocked countless people's jaws.
The total box office of local films in China is 3.5 billion yuan, and Huaxing's films account for nearly 1.2 billion yuan of box office output value.
one-third of the box office accounted for a slap, which not only slapped other film and television companies, but also changed the pattern of the entire Chinese film industry.
The music data is even more staggering.
In this era when physical albums are withering away and countless singers are turning to the Internet, Song Qianqian's total album sales have bucked the trend and exceeded one million copies on September 10.
In addition, the number of downloads of Song Qianqian's total album Cailing exceeded 100 million, the number of online music playbacks exceeded 200 million, and the female singer list of Q Dog Music entity ranked first for 40 consecutive days, becoming a well-deserved dark horse in 07......
According to the statistics of experts, in the past nine months, Huaxing's total profit in all aspects of film, television and music copyright has reached an astonishing 500 million net profits!
"However, because of a lot of charity, the actual profit on our company's books is nearly half less than the outside world......
in the office.
Xu Mei took out the quarterly report, hesitated for a while, and finally said this sentence to Zhou Yang.
After finishing speaking, she glanced at Zhou Yang's reaction, but saw Zhou Yang nodding calmly, and then stared at the computer on the desk in a daze, as if thinking about something.
After making the report, Xu Mei did not leave.
Zhou Yang brought her in just now, and specially reviewed the report, obviously preparing something.
"Let the finance come over for a moment."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, you are ......"
"Originally, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, what gifts should be sent, but after thinking about it for a long time, I am not a person who can give gifts, and after thinking about it for a long time, let's just be vulgar."
"Clichés?"
"Hmm...... You can count the list of companies, and I'll give it to you later. ”
"Okay."
Watching Zhou Yang rack his brains for a long time, he finally sighed quietly, as if he was extremely distressed, Xu Mei's face was full of doubts.
But then, she nodded and left the office.
When Xu Mei left the office, Zhou Yang's mind suddenly came to mind the scene of that year, when filming "The Bottom of the Mine", Zhang Genshui ran to the mountain with a lot of money to distribute the money to everyone.
The First Clan
He suddenly felt a little nostalgic.
However, a knock on the door soon interrupted his thoughts.
"Mr. Zhou......"
"Hmm, Miss Song?"
"I wrote another tune for the album "The Furthest Distance", do you want to listen to it? Pure music, no lyrics yet......"
"Oh, I wrote another one?"
"Yes."
"Are you alright?"
"It's good, I've been inspired."
in the office.
After Zhou Yang saw Song Qianqian who pushed the door in, his face showed a little shock.
Song Qianqian's eyes were bloodshot, her face was terrifyingly pale, and she looked extremely haggard, as if she hadn't slept for more than ten days.
Zhou Yang took the CD handed over by Song Qianqian, and then played the new song "Insomnia" in the CD, and the moment he clicked on it, he heard a melody that was low to the extreme, full of despair.
He listened to the melody silently, and the low melody revealed despair, as if he was in deep darkness and could not extricate himself, and the rhythm began to become more and more oppressive......
After listening to this, the originally calm mood instantly sank into a trough, and there was a feeling of being out of breath, and he slowed down for a long time before he recovered.
"This song, which is so sad, doesn't seem to fit the tone of the whole album very well...... This song makes people a little misanthropic to listen to, what's wrong with you lately? How could such a desperate tune be written? Zhou Yang looked at Song Qianqian worriedly, he had never heard such a sad melody in his previous life and in this life.
"I'm fine, Mr. Zhou, if I can make you feel hopeless, then I will succeed! The new album "The Furthest Distance" is perfect as long as you fill in the words of the last song! Song Qianqian smiled when she saw Zhou Yang's reaction, and then took back the disc and left the office on her own.
Zhou Yang looked at Song Qianqian's back......
Since that album "Sunshine", Zhou Yang has always felt that Song Qianqian is a little inexplicably stunned.
Then, he carefully recalled Song Qianqian's eyes when she looked at him just now, and the word "weird" instantly appeared in Zhou Yang's mind.
Followed by......
He subconsciously took out a few song samples from Song Qianqian's new album "The Farthest Distance" from the drawer, and after listening carefully for a while, he vaguely felt that the melody and lyrics of each song in this album seemed to be hiding some secrets, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find any secrets in this album.
Eventually, he no longer struggled with anything.
…………………………
Han Yan felt that there was something wrong with An Xiao's parents, her aunt and uncle.
When chatting, whenever she talked about her boyfriend George and said how good George was, her aunt and uncle showed a bit of expectation and regret on their faces, and then unconsciously talked about Zhou Yang, and poked their heads out from time to time, looking outside, as if they were expecting Zhou Yang to come to the door early.
Han Yan didn't understand.
George, but the proud disciple of the internationally renowned piano artist Perasia!
The people he came into contact with were either upper-class celebrities or noble musical performers, which of them was not an internationally renowned existence?
How could they think that Zhou Yang, the director of the film, could put forward some constructive suggestions for George's music "The Wedding"?
Not to mention the status of the two sides, the artistic taste alone is too far apart, right?
Didn't my aunt and uncle understand the status of Perasia's proud disciple in the international music scene?
No, my aunt and uncle still like music, and when I was a child, I often took them to major concerts to listen to songs, not to mention that my art appreciation ability is very strong, and I should know the status of a character like Perasia, right?
"Why does my aunt and uncle like Zhou Yang so much?"
"I don't know ......"
Han Yan couldn't help but ask her cousin An Xiao, but An Xiao shook her head coldly.
It's afternoon.
An Zhibin and Tang Xiao came over with gifts.
The two were undoubtedly the most popular of the relatives in the entire compound, and as soon as they entered the door, a group of young people greeted them.
They get married next month, and the time is still set for October 1, the day of national celebration, which is a great joy for the whole compound.
Han Yan also took George to greet him and introduced them to each other.
Han Yan found that although Tang Xiao and An Zhibin were both enthusiastic about them, this enthusiasm seemed to belong only to the kinship between the two parties, but they didn't seem to be interested in George's works and his international musical status, and even when Han Yan talked about George playing specifically for their wedding and most likely composing "Wedding March", Tang Xiao only smiled politely.
George's identity, in this big family, seems to be a little insignificant.
"Xiao Zhou will come over later, and when the time comes, let George and Xiao Zhou talk more and learn more...... It will help George's creation, Xiao Zhou's attainments in music and art are very deep......"
"Huh? This ......"
Tang Xiao's words made Han Yan stunned again.
The expression on George's face next to him was a little unbearable, although he had a gentleman's smile, his heart was devastated in his heart.
He thought that this time he came to Huaxia, he should be the one who attracted much attention, but no one could have imagined that when he got off the airport, he found that everything seemed to be different from what he imagined.
"Isn't Zhou Yang a director? He's right to make music, but ...... Why do they think that when I chat with Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang can give me constructive suggestions? Don't they know the difference between me and Zhou Yang? I know he wrote the song "My Motherland", and I admit that this song is also quite good...... However, I am studying classical music, I am international, no matter how good Zhou Yang is, he is only a Chinese, right? Were they brainwashed by Zhou Yang, or did they all have no artistic aesthetics? ”
George pulled Han Yan into the corner and complained a little angrily.
"No, they don't know about you, and they don't know your future situation, and when those famous musicians from China come over, they will know your weight......"
Han Yan was patient, and after comforting George a few words, the expression on her face began to be unbearable.
When the time waited until three o'clock in the afternoon, several musicians from the Huaxia Music Association, such as flute master Zhou Hongwei, suona master Tong Yuan, and erhu master Zhang Zunlian also came.
Han Yan was very familiar with these people, and after seeing these people, she took George to greet them excitedly.
"Teacher Zhou!"
"Xiao Han? Hello, haha, long time no see......"
"Teacher Zhou, you are good, let me introduce you, this is my senior brother George......"
"Haha, hello Monsieur George, last year, I listened to your piano recital "Summer in France", which was very exciting......"
"Haha, it's okay, it's good!"
When the somewhat gloomy George saw the Chinese flute master Zhou Hongwei looking at him with enthusiastic eyes and shaking hands with him, he instantly became excited.
Sure enough, only people in Huaxia who really understand music know my status in the music industry!
Then he greeted Tong Yuan and Zhang Zunlian one by one, tried his best to listen to what Han Yan said, and remained humble to these people, and his appearance made several people very enthusiastic about him......
But they talked about Vienna, about musical performances, about symphony.
George couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, and Han Yan also introduced his "Wedding" appropriately, although on the surface he hoped to get the guidance of a few people, but subtly revealed that the teacher Perasia appreciated the tone of "Wedding" very much......
When these Chinese musicians heard this, they began to praise and expressed their desire to listen to the prelude to "Wedding"!
George was so enthusiastic that he sat down on the piano in a huddle, but before he could start playing, he noticed that the musicians seemed to be looking at the door again.
And then......
"Yo, Xiao Zhou is here!"
"Haha, Xiao Zhou is here, he's late."
"Xiao Zhou, ......"
"Have you finished those tunes lately?"
"Haha......"
George noticed that the men were all walking towards the door.
And his hand that was about to play the piano was hanging in the air, so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to fall or not......
