Chapter 40: A Musical Talent?
With the release of blockbusters such as "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" and "Heavenly Dynasty", "Cruel Streets" was gradually released, and the final results were released, with a box office of 35.6 million in the mainland, 28.6 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, NT$19 million (equivalent to 4.5 million yuan) in Taiwan, and nearly 16 million in Southeast Asia...
The box office in Asia exceeds 80 million!
No problem!
The media all reported that "Cruel Street" set a new record for co-productions, or "Golden Harvest Sharpening a Sword in Three Years" or something...
Therefore, even if Shen Xudong hasn't been interviewed much recently, there are still many reports about him.
"I think this is thanks to Golden Harvest's distribution strength, Golden Harvest has more than 200 theaters in Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan account for one-third of the cinema market, and cooperating with them means that your film can be distributed to these countries and regions... No, Taiwan needs to draw lots..."
"Will definitely continue to work together... I went to the United States some time ago to meet Gong Li to persuade her to shoot our next film. ”
"Directed by Zheng Baorui, Golden Harvest is responsible for Hong Kong and overseas distribution... The actor has not yet been decided, I personally want to find Deng Chao..."
"I know him, this guy has no hobbies other than acting and playing basketball, and he doesn't care..."
"The new movie is called "Lao Qian"...The trilogy planned by "Lao Qian", let's see the effect of the first part..."After a pause, Shen Xudong frowned: "You ask Sister Chen Hao about the album-related things, I also wrote five songs!" ”
The reporter who interviewed him immediately asked: "... Xudong, why don't you release an album yourself? ”
"First, because it's too troublesome, I have to play all kinds of songs; The second is because I don't sing well..."
"Is there a music company asking you to help you put out an album?"
"Yes, and there are a lot of them! Mr. Yadong was still persuading me just now... But I know how many pounds and taels I have, singing, I'm really not that material! ”
"Then do you know Guo Jingming's album "Mystery"?"
"I don't know... He's a fan only, right? ”
"And what do you think of this behavior?"
Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then replied: "I don't think you can cut leeks so hard, you have to give leeks a little natural growth cycle... Fishing is not a good way to dry up! ”
Well, Guo Jingming released an album...
Later, Han Han's album was actually influenced by Guo Jingming - Guo Jingming was preparing to release the album "Hide", and other music companies felt that there were business opportunities after hearing the news.
So he kept persuading Han Han to release an album, and after half a year of fooling, he finally persuaded Han Han to play. Signed a contract with Global Tianyun, cooperated with Chang Shilei and others, and the production cycle was long, about a year and two months later than Guo Jingming, and an album "Eighteen Forbidden" was released, which included eight original songs (lyrics) and two covers.
Making a movie is also...
Guo Jingming first filmed "Little Times", and then Han Han filmed "After the End"...
In fact, "Enigma" is music, that is, ten songs, each song is followed by a large monologue...
Each song is written by Guo Jingming!
Guo Jingming is still quite talented, and the lyrics of "I am the most shiny" and "Time to Cook Rain" are very OK!
Well, "I'm the Brightest"... It is estimated that the fast man should contact Shen Xudong...
After all, he is an insider.
……
At the end of the album press conference, the reporter left, the fans refused to leave, Chen Hao sang two more songs, and then left under the urging of the staff.
"The guaranteed sales are 200,000 copies?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "I listened to them, and 200,000 copies were printed in the first edition!" ”
"I hope there will be a good review!"
"It should be said that I hope there will be a circle-breaking song..."
"What do you mean by a circle-breaking song?"
"It's just that in addition to your fans, it's very popular... For example, Zhao Yanzi's "There is a Girl" and "The Great Curse of Love", not only her fans listen..."
Chen Hao still doesn't understand...
Well, she doesn't have any experience in this area ...
"In short, after the album is released, don't show up except for the necessary promotional activities... Especially the comments on the Internet, you will definitely be scolded, don't read it! ”
“… I'm about to join the group to shoot "Great Dunhuang"..."
""The Great Dunhuang"?"
"CCTV's play!"
Well, directed by Chen Jialin, CCTV's annual drama, starring Tang Guoqiang, Tang Guoqiang, Huang Haibing... Of course, Chen Hao is the heroine!
CCTV took the initiative to find Chen Hao, and the company was not easy to refuse.
……
Chen Hao's time is very precious, and she shouldered the Tianmei agent alone.
Now that I'm entering the music scene again, I don't have much time to rest, but this time I'm even busier...
After the new album press conference, I have to return to the crew immediately to continue filming!
As for online discussions...
Most of them are not optimistic: 'Now people in the mainland entertainment industry will be specialized as long as they have a mouth';
Although I don't hate her, I definitely won't buy an album! ’;
'She's not a professional singer after all, and she doesn't have a good voice...'
Recently, there have been too many actors who have released albums, and those who are a little famous have to play crossover, Sidan Shuangbing, all have their own albums or singles, no exceptions!
It's annoying to everyone...
Because there are not many good songs.
Shen Xudong wrote something on his blog, which can be regarded as helping to promote it:
"Senior sister's album is something we promised her, and her previous agency has a good relationship with Japanese benzene musician Tetsuya Komuro, so we can't lose our share! So I found Zhang Lidong..."
"The voice condition of the senior sister is not particularly good, the treble can't go up, the bass can't come down, if you want me to say, it's the KTV level... But I have already promised to come down, and I must do it well! ”
"I was going to do the whole album, but... It's too much time... Let's get involved, write three songs at the beginning, make a demo... They were very satisfied, and asked me for two more songs, so I sent "Leo" and "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves" that I had written boringly before..."
"Actually, if I wasn't a film and television producer, I would have been able to make music, but I don't have any feelings about music, or I'm pessimistic about the whole record industry..."
"In fact, the record industry is in decline, and pirated music sources have made genuine record companies lose money, and the only way out for making music is commercial performances, but commercial performances... The song is not the deciding factor, the popularity is. And the most direct way to gain popularity is to show your voice on music programs... Under this premise, old songs are more important, so... At most, five to ten years, original Chinese music is estimated to be running out! ”
"That's just my opinion... Now we still have Jay Chou! ”
"To be honest, I feel like I'm still a bit talented in music... Of course, I know what people will say: no work is a fart!
In addition to the five songs written to Chen Hao, including "Pouring the World" in "The First in the World", the ending song of "The Desire of the Golden Branch" "The Sound of Snow Falling", and the episode "Silk Play" in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"... I wrote the lyrics and music, and even participated in the arrangement..."
"If you think it's good, you can buy a copy of "Chen Hao" and listen to it and feel it..."
It was this blog that earned him the nickname of a musical talent...
Well, it should be said that the talent can't be hidden!
