Chapter 39: Album Launch
Shen Xudong wants to collect a few tool people...
Zheng Baorui is not a perfect candidate, but... It's ok too.
His execution ability is very strong, and more than 20 versions of the original space-time "Accident" have been cut...
Shen Xudong wants this kind of director!
Don't have too much personal expression...
Zheng Baorui will most likely accept it, after all, the script of "Lao Qian" is really good.
In addition, he later joined Galaxy Images...
Pulling it over is also a kind of weakening.
Galaxy Imaging has recruited many good directors, and there is also You Dazhi, who is also Shen Xudong's recruitment target.
You Dazhi was filming "Dark Flower", which made the investors unhappy, so there was a re-shoot of To Qifeng...
As for where the problem is?
I don't know, from the parallel slogan of commercial art at the beginning of the establishment of the galaxy, as well as the financial difficulties of the galaxy in those years, it can be seen that perhaps, You Dazhi is too personal expression.
Then, You Dazhi was almost abandoned...
"Dark Flower" is still very good, the cramped sense of space and cold sense of fate make this movie present a different temperament from Hong Kong films at that time and even later.
The symbolic atmosphere is completely detached from the usual number of roads in Hong Kong films...
But it's useless, it's the original sin not to sell out!
You Dazhi left the galaxy.
Actually, it's normal, Galaxy Imaging highlights To Qifeng and Wei Jiahui, Johnny To is the signboard, more or less ignoring other main creators, You Dazhi is difficult to be reused!
After You Dazhi left the galaxy, he went back to Malaysia to shoot a TV series.
Recently, he also cooperated with TVB to shoot "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "Rain and Clouds"...
Later, he went north to develop and filmed "Strange Man Yizhimei", "Heartless Mage", by the way, and "The Mekong Case"...
Both of these can be recruited!
Speaking of "Lao Qian", the heroine directly topped the match, with Gong Li...
The male protagonist is estimated to have to use Deng Chao.
The cost is 40 million, and half of the cost can be recovered from the revenue of patch advertising.
Overseas issuance is handed over to Golden Harvest, and the probability of making money is still quite large!
Of course, TiMi is the main control producer, and pulls several powerful companies together...
This is Gao Fenfen's proposal, her original words: "Our company can operate independently, with funds, scripts, distribution capabilities, and funds... Find a few directors and shoot it yourself! ”
Shen Xudong also thinks so...
The most important thing is that "Lao Qian" is a series, and the copyright is very valuable!
Of course, Shen Xudong has other insurance measures, he reminded Gao Fenfen: "You pull a few investors, and then let them sign the priority payment system..."
"Priority payment system?"
Shen Xudong explained: "Literally... We, as the copyright owner, can take you to play, but we must ensure that our funds are returned first... By the way, there is also a guarantee of 20% of the profit, which means that as long as it is released, our income is guaranteed to be 20%..."
"It's too harsh... Who will say yes? ”
“… This is very common in the field of finance and investment, some people want to invest in movies, we take them to play, we don't cheat them, it's just that the contract is harsh... It's cheap for them too! ”
……
The original time and space, the priority payment system is the first application of Pony Galloping, "Cyborg"!
Although "Cyborg" ended up with an overall loss in the movie, Pony Gallop became the only money-making investor in the whole movie.
Because the copyright of "Cyborg" belongs to Pony Galloping, and director Liu Zhenwei is also the contracted director of Pony Galloping, if you want to invest in a movie, you have to follow this priority payment contract!
If you think it's unfair, you can not vote.
It's the same with "Old Qian"...
Of course, there is a casting condition for all this: persuade Gong Li to star!
After the release of "Memoirs of a Geisha", Gong Li's agency gave her a Hollywood production, "Miami Vice"...
How to persuade her to put the focus of her career back to China, this requires Shen Xudong's efforts!
Well, he deliberately flew to the United States ...
……
Chen Hao's album is named "Chen Hao"...
The company doesn't have any idea about album sales - last year, only Jay Chou, Pu Shu, and Dao Wolf sold 1 million albums in China, and other people's albums only need to sell 20 or 300,000 to be considered a particularly popular album, Zhao Yanzi is so popular, last year's "Gone with the Wind" only sold 500,000...
If you can pass 100,000, you can recover the cost.
More than 100,000 and it will continue to operate.
Buy a few prizes, run an amphibious superstar or something...
The name is very useful, and you can also ask for more appearance fees when you run commercial performances and go to the hole!
Album Launch...
originally wanted to go singing and dancing style - learn the most popular Jolin Tsai.
But after looking at the whole album, it was either a jazz music style, or an elegant folk song style, or forget it, a swing was arranged on the spot, and Chen Hao directly wore a white dress and sang her favorite "Leo"...
Shen Xudong playing the guitar next to him...
‘… Just this time, I don't want to be a singer; If you can, you can also write a song for me... Please don't ask what month Capricorn is, please don't say, only friendship can live forever..."
Singing this, she got off the swing, walked to Shen Xudong, and stared at him...
made Shen Xudong feel a little furious, did she want to force her relatives in public?
Fortunately, no, just a look in his eyes motioned for him to come over...
Shen Xudong had no choice but to come out of the corner with the guitar, hold her hand, and then scream all kinds of in the audience.
After all, there are still a lot of these two CP fans!
But it took a while, and according to the process, Chen Hao sang five songs in a row, "Possible Night", "The Most Angel", "Elopement" and "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves"...
The response was very good...
Then there are a bunch of seniors and friends in the circle to send blessings, Sun Nan, Tong Dawei, Xue Jianing, and Lu Yi are all here...
Everyone is sending flowers and saying some auspicious words, such as 'It's really good', 'The album is a big hit' or something.
It's all a fixed process!
Finally, there is the routine media interview time.
"A lot of actors release albums because they need to sing when they participate in some shows or events, are you the same?"
“… Of course not... I've loved it since I was a kid..."
"As a newcomer, you seem to be particularly invested in this album? Do you feel that your identity as an actor can make fans pay for it casually? ”
"This also shows how much I value the album..."
I'll go, these questions are quite sharp!
Shen Xudong stood aside the whole time and chatted with Zhang Lidong - the producer of "Chen Hao" is Zhang Lidong.
Ahem, Shen Xudong has always been yearning for Zhang Yandong's circle, that is the circle, all kinds of permutations and combinations of men and women, after the end, they are still good friends with each other, this thing, Japanese movies don't dare to shoot like this!
It's so artistic.
Zhang Lidong likes Shen Xudong very much, because Shen Xudong is also very talented, but unfortunately, he just chatted for a while, and it didn't reach the point of getting acquainted at first sight!
At first sight, he made an appointment to play mahjong, and then he could get to know Wang Fei.
What?
Wang Fei is not good-looking, no breasts and no ass...
This is called star chasing, you know a fart!
Leng Buding heard an interview with the media: "Xudong, the box office of "Cruel Street" in Asia exceeded 80 million, what is the next step?" ”
“… Yes? This is Sister Chen Hao's album release, you ask this? ”
