Chapter 212: Who is Sanger?
The evening breeze at the end of August is not too cool, but it does more or less remove the heat of the day.
Shen Huajin, who has been treated in the hospital for so long, finally left the ward, and his condition gradually stabilized, but his body couldn't catch up with the past after all.
Therefore, after being discharged from the hospital, Xu Chuan did not let the two old people go home to live. It's a high-end nursing home for them.
After all, they are old, and Shen Huajin has health problems, Xu Chuan really doesn't worry about letting the two of them continue to live at home.
Shen Ping'an usually has to go to school, and he has to work, so objectively he doesn't have the ability to take care of them. The sanatorium is well equipped in all aspects, and it is definitely safer there than at home.
And Xu Chuan arranged a small detached house for them, which is actually quite comfortable to live in.
It is worth mentioning that after Shen Ping'an experienced this experience, her whole person has changed significantly, and the original rotten temperament now seems to have completely faded in her.
Moreover, this girl is more mature than Xu Chuan imagined.
According to common sense, after the almost parting of life and death this time, I should have thought that I would spend more time with the two old people in the future.
But Shen Ping'an didn't think about it according to common sense.
In her opinion, what grandparents need most is not to spend more time with them. They want to see that they, as granddaughters, have the ability to stand on their own.
Only in this way, when the day is really about to say goodbye, can they close their eyes with confidence.
This can actually be seen from Shen Huajin's original hope that Shen Ping'an would report to the university in the south. He didn't want this granddaughter to be tied to him all the time, he was afraid that such a Shen Ping'an would "not grow up".
In general, from the moment Shen Huajin fell ill, Xu Chuan and Shen Ping'an had some changes.
After settling down the affairs of the Shen family, Xu Chuan began to pay more attention to his work, and the people also traveled from the capital to Shanghai.
Speaking of work, "Soldier Assault" should have an ending in a few days.
There are currently 27 episodes aired.
The plot of this episode is about Xu Sanduo's psychological problems after killing drug dealers at close range, so he temporarily left Brigade A and returned to the old army.
If "Soldier Assault" first began to air, there was still a lot of controversy on the Internet. By the time it is broadcast here, the quality of this drama has been completely highlighted.
Xu Chuan still remembers that when he was on Earth, he heard that many people chose to become soldiers because they saw "Soldier Assault".
What's even more interesting is that because Yuan Lang, the captain, and Gao Cheng, the company commander, are too "charming", they say too many "golden sentences".
Therefore, at that time, there were many officers who imitated the words and deeds of these two characters to manage their subordinates.
At present, "Soldier Assault" has a score of 9.0 on Blue Star's rating website Douban. This score is still a bit short of the 9.5 score on Earth.
But considering that this is a new drama, without the addition of a time filter, it is already very rare to have this score.
Especially in recent years, among the four or five dramas produced by Blue Star, they are particularly eye-catching.
It can be said that now "Soldier Assault" is in a state of double harvest of word-of-mouth and data.
Because of this, as the main actors of this show, they are also in a state of explosion. Among them, the most popular ones are naturally the four characters of Xu Sanduo, Gao Cheng, Shi Jin and Yuan Lang.
Another male protagonist has become a talent, and due to personality problems, many people do not like him a little.
But if you don't like the role, you don't like the role, Fu Tianhang, an actor, can be said to have completely entered the public's field of vision.
This made the public and many peers in the entertainment industry have a deep understanding of Xu Chuan's ability to support people again.
During this time, some people have been asking whether there are any new projects starting in Xuchuan.
The most important thing is that this inquiry is not a quiet side inquiry. Instead, I called the people in Xu Chuan's studio directly for consultation. This made Zhang Yan, the head manager of the studio, helpless and happy.
"Brother Chuan, this year's Feitian Award is scheduled for November 1." In the car, Cai Meng held a tablet and looked at the itinerary.
"Let Zhang Yan contact the people on CCTV, see if they sign up, or if we arrange someone to sign up, don't count on them when the time comes, they count on us, and it's funny if we don't go in the end." Xu Chuan said after hearing this.
Whether it is the Feitian Award, Magnolia or Golden Eagle Award, you need to take the initiative to sign up.
Of course, for a phenomenal TV series like "Soldier Assault", the organizing committee of the Feitian Award should invite Xu Chuan to participate.
But there are some things that can be taken or taken the initiative, don't let the organizing committee of the Feitian Award misunderstand that Xu Chuan is taking Qiao, it will not be good.
"Okay." Cai Meng nodded when he heard this, and recorded it.
Then she continued: "The test screening of our "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is ready to start. At present, it is planned to try the reactions of people from different regions in the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Yangcheng and Wuhan. ”
With the increasing maturity of the domestic film market, there are many processes in the process of a film from production to theaters.
Take pre-release. Many movies will go through three stages, test screening, on-demand screening, and public screening.
Now the "test screening" in Cai Meng's mouth is a more interesting link, which is generally done one to two months before the release.
The main way is to find a group of viewers to come and watch the movie in secret.
There may be a big difference between the film at this stage and the version at the time of its official release.
How big is the difference?
Let's put it this way, the length of the test screening may be twice the length of the release film, and many of the deleted content of the release screening can be seen in the test screening version.
Not only that, if it comes to some movies with special effects, it is likely that the special effects of the test version have not been completed.
The reason why I want to do this is to promote the warm-up, but the bigger purpose is to adjust the film through the feedback from the audience during the test screening.
Therefore, there is no money for the test screening, not only does it not charge money, but the filmmaker will also give gifts to the audience who come to participate in the test screening.
Viewers, on the other hand, will need to spend some time participating in a more detailed questionnaire or a face-to-face conversation.
The question is, as an ordinary audience, how can you participate in this kind of test screening activity.
Under normal circumstances, on mainstream ticketing platforms, they will take the initiative to send SMS notifications based on the user's information and viewing preferences. Sometimes, there will also be a registration entrance for the title "Mystery Movie" on the homepage.
Of course, it's too much of a matter of luck.
So, if you want to participate in this kind of activity, the best thing is to join some well-known movie groups, such as the poisonous tongue movie group on the earth, or the movie group of a cinema chain like Wanda.
After joining these viewing groups, there is a chance to participate in the test screening, or the follow-up screening. It's all free of charge and you can get free movie merchandise.
"Cai Cai, when we watch the movie internally, what do you think of this movie?" Hearing that the test screening was about to start, Xu Chuan couldn't help but ask.
For the same story, the effect of different teams must be different.
Although in Xu Chuan's opinion, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is actually quite good, but this thing is his work after all, and it is difficult for him to have any objective evaluation of this film.
After hearing Xu Chuan's question, Cai Meng didn't answer immediately, let alone start complimenting like many people. She knew that Xu Chuan didn't like this very much.
Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, she said to Xu Chuan: "I think it's all good overall." I have to say that I don't like one thing very much, that is, in the end, Wang Duoyu decided to donate the plot naked. ”
Hearing this, Xu Chuan groaned.
To be honest, he personally doesn't like the final plot very much.
Perhaps the movie wants to show that the cost of raising children in today's society is high. Or maybe they want to strengthen Wang Duoyu's character again.
But the way this plot is shown is really a bit tasteless and chicken in Xu Chuan's personal opinion.
Wang Duoyu's character design has been shown very clearly before, and there is no need to make up for it at the end.
As for the fact that the cost of raising a child is very high now, it is an objective fact that it is good. But it is not suitable for Wang Duoyu to mention, his role setting determines that the audience cannot empathize with him in this matter.
Therefore, when the movie was filmed, Xu Chuan added a lot of extra content.
For example, he filmed a slice of life after the commission that "Da Clever" received. This guy made 100 million yuan by hoarding unfinished buildings, and according to the agreement, he had to get a commission of 100 million.
Therefore, Xu Chuan filmed the great wisdom who liked to think about "the way of investment" at home every day, and after getting 100 million, he didn't go out.
The consequence of not going out was that he was pushed out by his mother, who persuaded him to go downstairs for activities.
What this plot wants to show is that no matter how much money you make, you will always be a child in your mother's eyes.
In addition, clips of Zhuang Qiang were also filmed.
Zhuang Qiang has a famous saying, that is, "What's so bad about being a dog?" ”
Based on this sentence, Xu Chuan filmed him leaving Xihong City. In fact, there is no need to explain too much about the meaning of this idea, and it is impossible for him to continue to "be a dog".
Finally, Xu Chuan also filmed a clip of Liu Jiannan's speech, which was titled "Don't Be a Slave to Money".
This title is what he said when he first appeared in the movie. At that point in time, this title was actually a satire on his character.
But after experiencing the plot of the whole movie, Liu Jiannan's speech "Don't Be a Slave to Money" again felt completely different.
Xu Chuan believes that when the audience watches this paragraph, they should also have new feelings.
In general, in the version filmed by Xu Chuan, the final ending of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" should be a group portrait of this group of people, rather than an inexplicable donation plot.
But considering the results of the original version, Xu Chuan still made up for Wang Duoyu's announcement of the naked donation, but put aside the footage of the day's account and put it into the feature film.
In the end, how to do the feature film, wait for the test screening to see the audience's reaction.
In the car, Cai Meng continued to communicate with Xu Chuan about other work.
In this way, after about half an hour, the car drove to the office area of Xingtang. After another ten minutes, Xu Chuan sat in Yuan Meng's office.
"I really didn't expect that as soon as your domestic music market was clarified, you planned to march abroad." In the office, Yuan Meng said with a smile while making tea for Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan's purpose for coming over this time was naturally for Qiu Yicheng to post foreign songs.
It is no problem for Antler Media to release Qiu Yicheng's albums in China, but the ability to release singles abroad is not very sufficient.
Therefore, Xu Chuan chose to cooperate with Yuan Meng this time, they have the channels and ability to do music promotion abroad.
The song was recorded by Qiu Yicheng a few days ago.
Not only that, Xu Chuan also filmed a MV.
However, this MV is very simple.
How simple is it?
Have you seen the MV of "Ordinary Road"?
Xu Chuan photographed such a thing, a car driving on different roads.
It's not because he doesn't have inspiration in his head. The main reason is that there is too much time, and about a week has passed since Qiu Yicheng was discussed on the Internet.
In a week's time, the relevant heat about Qiu Yicheng on the Internet can be said to have almost dissipated.
If you don't hurry up now, while everyone still knows who Qiu Yicheng is, send a work out, this great opportunity will be wasted.
Therefore, combined with the meaning of "For Away Form Home" being far away from home, Xu Chuan feels that it is past to shoot such a MV.
In the office, after hearing Yuan Meng's words, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "The opportunity is rare, next time I want to get such a high exposure, it's not so simple." ”
"Sometimes I really have to believe in metaphysics, do you know how much some actors in our company have paid to achieve international popularity?
Qiu Yicheng can be said to have done nothing this time. Eh, do you really have a bit of a fate-turnaround attribute in you? Can you help me get around the course one day? Yuan Meng said seriously.
"What else do you have to turn around? From time to time, it is said on the Internet that you are what girls want to live the most, with good family conditions, beautiful people, and strong ability, so you are still transferred? Who do you want to be jealous of? When Xu Chuan heard this, he joked.
"Tut-tut, the mouth is weirdly sweet, I have to have a few more drinks with you at night."
"No, I won't drink with you." When Xu Chuan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"That's up to you, okay, let's get down to business, this time your single, the source of the music we decided to release on Soundfield, Apple, Amazon, this time our goal is to stay on the US Billboard singles chart for two weeks."
The English name of the sound field in Yuan Meng's mouth is Spotify, which should be the largest music platform in the United States at present. Apple and Amazon are talking about iTunes and Amazon MP3, which are also music platforms with a high market share.
As for the American billboard, it is called billboard in English. It can be understood as the most authoritative set of music charts in the United States, and there are many different lists in it.
The most talked about is the inclusion of only the top 100 singles list, as well as the top 200 album list, which is updated once a week.
On Earth, it seems that the sign has been on the 73rd of this singles chart for a week. His former teammate Zhang Yixing's album also reached No. 21 on the album chart.
In fact, it can be seen from here that this list can also be brushed, as long as you are willing to spend money.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan said: "I don't have as much experience in the promotion of the Internet as you are, in your opinion, what ranking is more appropriate for us to get on the singles list this time?" ”
"I listened to your song with some musicians in our company, and I didn't disclose your information about the audition, and the objective feedback is very good, I think we spent some money on the list first week, and the noun was about 70.
The funds are mainly used for publicity, if the ranking on the list can rise best, it really can't rise, and it is enough to stay for two weeks, and it is not worth investing again. Yuan Meng thought for a while and then spoke.
Xu Chuan nodded when he heard this, but did not speak.
Although he will not have any doubts about the quality of the songs he picked, he still has no bottom in his heart about what ranking he can get on the list.
After all, it is a market that I have never been to, and it is difficult to have a more objective and confident evaluation.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan began to chat with Yuan Meng about many details, and at the same time, he was constantly asking Yuan Meng about the situation in the European and American markets.
We chatted until the evening, and after Xu Chuan invited Yuan Meng to dinner, he was helped into the car by the drivers An Quan and Cai Meng.
That's right, it was helped to get into the car.
Yuan Meng is simply too good at drinking, every time he eats with her, Xu Chuan is shirking, and today is really unacceptable.
However, there is one thing to say, although Boss Yuan likes to drink, he will not make mistakes after drinking at all.
On the evening of the day after dinner, she went back to arrange for the staff to do the work of releasing the singles.
Why do it at night?
Because of the time difference.
Of course, Qiu Yicheng, as a Chinese singer, naturally can't release singles only for foreign countries, and it must also be put into China.
So, at 8 o'clock the next morning, the promotional materials and official sound source of this song were put on major domestic platforms.
The audience in Huaguo gave considerable interest to this new song that suddenly appeared.
Because Xu Chuan and Qiu Yicheng's cooperation is too brilliant, many people will instinctively glance at who the lyricist and composer are.
Then they found out that the lyrics and even the arrangement of the song were done by a person named Sanger. This discovery, for most people, is equivalent to nothing.
Because most people really don't care about this.
But for some, it's a way to get the talk.
"Who is this Sanger?"
"I don't know, but the publisher of this song is Xingtang, and it's not sure it's a foreign music creator that Xingtang is looking for."
"In other words, this song was not written by Xu Chuan?"
"That's definitely not what he wrote, if he could write English songs, he would have come out to show off a long time ago, Xu Laosan is such a sassy person."
"That's right."
Similar conversations took place in some places in the capital and Shanghai.
In the afternoon, as the entry of #Qiu Yicheng's new song# topped the hot search, some hot topics gradually appeared on the Internet.
One of the topics is "Why Most People Think Of For Away Form Home" Is Qiu Yicheng's Best Work To Date]
Although this is a false proposition, although most people do not think that this is Qiu Yicheng's best work to date.
But it doesn't matter, as long as there are more comments under this topic, the false proposition will become a "true proposition".
The short comments in the comment area, the long comments on the Q&A platform, and the "professional analysis" of the so-called music critics continue to appear on the Internet.
The dense topic led many ordinary listeners astray, and they began to wonder if this was really Qiu Yicheng's best work.
At the same time, after Cai Meng saw these comments on the Internet, he almost died of laughter on the spot. I saw her laughing and saying to Xu Chuan: "Brother Chuan, I was really guessed by you." ”
"I wish these people could do something I can't guess." Xu Chuan was a little speechless when he heard this.
Sanger, Sanger, Sanger.
This name was chosen by Xu Chuan to play his own stalk, and the reason why he didn't use his real name was mainly because he said too many bad things about a certain country on the domestic platform, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
To be honest, when he decided to use this name, he guessed that there might be such a play. Unexpectedly, these people really played such a play as he guessed.
What are they doing so hard to praise Qiu Yicheng's new song for?
Is it for Qiu Yicheng?
That's definitely not, they want to step on Qiu Yicheng's old songs by holding Qiu Yicheng's new songs.
And Qiu Yicheng's old songs are all written by Xu Chuan, so stepping on old songs is stepping on Xu Chuan.
Not only that, but they can also praise "Sanger", who they think is a foreign musician.
Finally, let's acknowledge the gap and reflect on it.
Then this set of jobs is all right.
Objectively speaking, they are still relatively smart this time, and the behavior of holding Qiu Yicheng on the surface will be much less resisted by public opinion.
At least Qiu Yicheng's fans and passers-by who like Qiu Yicheng's songs will not have any desire to refute.
Xu Chuan believes that as long as the lyrics and songwriters sign their own name, then these people will definitely not blow it.
Not only can't he blow, but he will also find an excuse to say that Xu Chuan admires foreign and flattering, and he actually writes English songs.
In fact, this is the second reason why Xu Chuan chose to use the name Sanger in China. He really didn't bother to talk to this group of people.
Things turned out as Xu Chuan expected.
The next day, there was a remark on the Internet about "praising one and stepping on one".
Some of the remarks are more euphemistic. said that Qiu Yicheng should cooperate with Sanger more, so that her works can be raised to the international level and a higher level.
Some of the remarks are more direct. said that the reason why Xu Chuan became popular in the country was completely because of the dwarf general. Once compared with foreign musicians, they immediately showed timidity, and the difference was not a grade.
This can be seen from Qiu Yicheng's latest works.
There is even more outrageous, saying that Xu Chuan can't even write an English song, and he is also worthy of being called a musician? Fish for fame and reputation!
In the face of this kind of public opinion, Xu Chuan's fans should refute it.
That can be regarded as a nest of yin and yang people.
Comments like [I've never heard of music being divided into borders, in the final analysis, Xu Laosan can't do it] [Isn't Xu Laosan a top student known as Tongji, won't he even be able to write English lyrics, won't he, won't he?"
"I'm really getting more and more incomprehensible about public opinion now." After Yuan Meng saw these public opinions, her expression was like constipation.
After speaking, she turned to the secretary and asked, "Is it really that hard to guess that Sanger is Xu Chuan?" Those sunspots call him Xu San Xu San every day. When they read this in English, they didn't notice déjà vu? ”
"Mr. Yuan, is it possible that they can't read this English at all, and they can't get in touch with Mr. Xu when they read Sanger seriously.
Moreover, who would have thought that Mr. Xu would not use his own name to sing songs? We knew this in advance, and if we didn't know, we wouldn't think about it. The secretary's expression was also strange.
"That's just as well." Yuan Meng nodded when he heard this.
"Then do we need to help Mr. Xu correct his name, now the Internet says that Sanger is our partner musician. In case Mr. Xu's fans have a whim and think that this public opinion is done by us, it is the big water to rush the Dragon King Temple. ”
"No, forget it, let's not worry about it." Yuan Meng shook his head, "If Xu Chuan doesn't clarify, then we will also help keep it secret." ”
The question that the secretary had just asked also appeared in Qiu Yicheng's mouth.
"You really don't need to clarify?"
"No, not only will I not clarify, but I plan to write you a few more songs under Sanger's name in the future. Don't they like to hold it? Just right, let them hold you for a while longer, and don't pick up the heat for nothing. Xu Chuan shook his head.
"I don't know how they'll react if they find out that Sanger is you." When Qiu Yicheng heard this, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing.
"I'm still wondering how they'll react when the song hits the Billboard singles chart in a few days. Isn't it going to start blowing again, saying that Sanger is your real nobleman. ”
"Sanger was originally my real nobleman, don't you say?" Qiu Yicheng suddenly said with a smile.
Faced with Qiu Yicheng's sudden flirtation, Xu Chuan didn't know how to reply.
Thank you for the reward of [possessing Diao Min's plot to kill me].
