Chapter 129: I Didn't Hear the Song at First Hearing
After entering the crew, the first thing Gu Wei saw was Zhao Liying's cute face.
"Liying, Happy New Year~"
"Happy New Year~" Zhao Liying saw Gu Wei and said hello happily at first.
Then he leaned over to him and asked with a gossip on his face.
"Are you and Liu Yifei really in love?"
Gu Wei looked at her with curiosity in his eyes, and said helplessly.
"How is it possible, we are just ordinary friends, just having a meal together.
Didn't you eat with me?
Are we also boyfriend and girlfriend? ”
"I~ Of course I'm different, I'll just say that it must be a blind report by these media."
Zhao Liying, who was scolded by Gu Wei, said with some righteous indignation.
Seeing that she was a little cute, Gu Wei leaned into her ear and deliberately teased her.
"The two of us can also go out to have a meal together, ensuring that there will be our scandals on the Internet the next day, and saving the crew publicity money."
"Who wants to spread the scandal with you, if you don't tell you, it will start in a while."
After saying that, he ran away.
When Gu Wei entered the crew to start filming, the film market was also surging at this time.
Since Zhou Xingchi's [Journey to the West] sold 1.2 billion during the Chinese New Year last year.
The Spring Festival stalls from the beginning of the year to the beginning have also become an excellent schedule in the Chinese film market that is not inferior to the Lunar New Year stalls.
Many well-made blockbusters with lofty goals are piled up to be released during the Spring Festival.
is different from other schedules, the movies released during the Spring Festival are all released on the first day of the new year, so that each release and distribution will show their magic in the film schedule.
Your popularity is high, my backstage is hard, he can make profits to the theater chain, anyway, for the sake of the film scheduling rate, any method can be used.
In this year's Spring Festival stalls, Gu Wei took a look.
A total of 4 movies have been released, "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", "Macau Vice", "Predecessor Strategy" and the variety movie "Where Are You Going, Dad".
Among them, [Predecessor Raiders] is a pure love story film, and it can only be said that the movie barely passed and made a complete love story.
The special effects of [Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven] are really good, but the traditional Chinese story is packaged in Western magic mode, the gods and demons are opposed, and the rebel leader turns into a superhero, the story content has too many slots, and the lines are also funny.
It is called by the audience as a movie where watching the trailer is equivalent to watching the whole film.
"Macau Storm" is a typical Wang Jing-style movie. What is a Wang Jing-style movie, it is to make money, make the audience laugh, shoot casually, everyone goes to the cinema to watch it, and as for the plot and logic inside, it will not be studied in depth.
The great director Wang Jing has already told you clearly when he makes this movie, I am a bad movie, just have fun, don't come with a brain.
In addition to Zhou Runfa and Xie Tingfeng participating in this movie, Da Tiantian is also one of the leading actors.
is worthy of Da Tiantian, and she is always indispensable in this kind of bad movie in a blockbuster.
At the premiere, Miss Jingtian also invited Gu Wei to participate, but unfortunately Gu Wei had too many things in his hands at that time, so he could only decline.
Needless to say, the last "Where Are You Going, Dad", which can't really be called a movie at all.
It's just a variety show shown in the cinema, but it's still good to watch it during the Chinese New Year.
When Gu Wei was filming in the crew, on February 4th, [The Promotion of the Crown Princess] was officially released on Tengxun Video.
Tengxun understands publicity, and with the scandal between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei on the Internet in the past two days, a wave of [Crown Princess] has been promoted, which has made netizens more curious about this online drama known as Gu Wei's male to female.
On the first day of the TV series, it received widespread attention from netizens as soon as it was launched, and it quickly opened the hot screen domination mode.
It was only 12 hours after it was broadcast, breaking the broadcast record of traditional self-made dramas, creating a legend of 4 million views, and achieving excellent results.
At the same time, the number of broadcasts of the series has risen in a straight line, and in only 48 hours after it was launched, the number of broadcasts of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" has exceeded 10 million.
It has become the hottest online drama since the beginning of 2014.
This drama not only has a unique number of broadcasts, but also the number of discussions and topics among netizens is also the best.
The play contains eye-catching elements such as "rot", "contrasting cute", "palace fight", "gender swap", etc., the plot has attracted the attention of the whole people, and the costumes and sets have set off a boom on the Internet.
The degree of heated discussion is at the top of the list, and the barrage party, the screen licking party, the CP party, and the prediction party have spoken Amway, acting as tap water, and netizens call this drama toxic!
Netizens' evaluation of this drama is "poor and thunderous".
"Thunder" may be real thunder, but to be honest, the drama crew is not poor at all, and the filming time is not in a hurry, Gu Wei, as a big boss, can invest money in the crew at any time.
It's just that the style of costumes and props designed by the director of [Crown Princess] is like this, which makes everyone look like a cheap taste.
The TV series was launched for 10 days, and the number of broadcasts officially exceeded 100 million, and it became the first place in the overall list of Weibo topics.
At the same time, Zhang Tianai, who plays the role of 'Crown Princess', is a real hit on the Internet.
The princess she plays in the play is cute and sweet, pure and lustful, domineering and amorous, and her ancient costumes are amazing, which has fascinated many audiences.
Li Xian, who plays the male protagonist in the play, and other supporting actors, although they are not as popular as Zhang Tianai, are also concerned by some netizens.
"Okay, I know, keep communicating with Tengxun, it's just the beginning, I believe that the final results of [Crown Princess's Promotion] will amaze all of us."
Gu Wei just hung up the phone with Zhao Mingcheng.
The explosion of [Crown Princess] brought huge benefits to Gu Wei's company.
First of all, in terms of money, because the account sharing agreement signed with Tengxun is signed, every time there is an additional member of the follow-up drama, Gu Wei will earn an extra penny.
The patch advertisements of online dramas are also in a state of queuing now, and Tengxun Video has also made money this time.
Zhang Tianai's value has surged, and she has become a new traffic on the Internet, and she can directly create value for Gu Wei's company.
All kinds of commercial performances and endorsements came to the door, and they immediately became the cash cow of [Wei Mingxia Brokerage Company].
In the end, the reputation of the film and television company under Gu Wei's name has been beaten, and if a new drama is filmed in the future, it will be very easy to sell the film.
At the very least, Tengxun Video must be willing to offer a price that satisfies Gu Wei.
Just when [Crown Princess] was popular on the Internet, on the 10th, Universal Music held a press conference for Gu Wei's new song.
Two EP singles "Natural" and "Sold Out" were released worldwide.
"Natural" is a song that was included in the 2018 album of the band Dream Dragon.
Its Chinese name translates to "gifted".
The whole song is bursting, the song is full of a sense of expanded energy, and with the blessing of the simple and powerful electronic drumbeat, Gu Wei's singing voice also showed the most majestic momentum.
The lyrics highlight the high-spirited youth: we always have to lose, but we must lift our nature and release the passion in our bodies with a peaceful attitude!
It is suitable for the environmental background when Gu Wei wrote [Proud Boy], and his mental state at that moment.
The original song of "Sold Out" is from the Eagle Nelson Band. The content of the song is more religious, and the author's central idea is to express that he will follow Jesus and practice the teachings, and no longer be bound by personal interests.
The belief of fighting and fighting for one's own beliefs. Each of us should stick to what we insist on, never forget our original intention, and live for ourselves.
Gu Wei made some changes to the song, removing the words about religion and Jesus, and changing it to pursue dreams.
Following the rhythm of the original rock, the content of the whole song has completely changed to dreams and beliefs, hard work and struggle.
These two songs were originally very popular 'war songs' on the original time and space network, and many movie clips were edited with these two songs, which instantly exploded the audience.
What impressed Gu Wei the most was that when [Wonder Woman] appeared with [Sold Out], there was a feeling that the whole person was burning when watching the video.
"May I ask Gu Wei, why did you write two English songs?"
At the press conference, some media asked Gu Wei.
"There was a very dark period before my movie was released last year, when I wrote the songs "Proud Boy", "The Lonely Brave", "Natural", and "Sold Out".
It's just that only two Chinese songs were released at that time, and later Universal Music asked me to sign a contract, so naturally these two English songs were taken out and brought to everyone. ”
Listening to Gu Wei's explanation, the media also felt that it was very reasonable.
Singers generally have specific scenes and emotions when they write songs, they write happy songs when they are happy, sad songs when they are in pain, and love songs when they fall out of love.
Gu Weifa's several songs are very consistent in style, youthful, passionate, passionate, and struggle.
It fits his age and mood very well.
"The first time you release an English song, will you be confident?"
"Of course, I have full confidence in myself, and even more in my songs!"
It's all Billboard's top 10 level songs, and it's not a problem for Nu to strive for the first place, can he have no confidence?
"Your Chinese songs are so popular in China, if English songs are not as popular as expected, will there be a gap?"
"No, I'm sure it will work."
Gu Wei said and looked at the reporter with firm eyes.
Gu Wei didn't say anything big, [Billboard Top 100 Singles] is the most authoritative pop music chart in the American music scene. It is also the most valuable ranking in the international music scene.
The statistics of [Billboard] on the ranking of each district are based on a comprehensive comparison of four aspects: radio on-demand volume + sales + streaming media + download data.
The chart is released once a week, and the top of the list is the Billboard number one single.
Since entering the Internet era, the proportion of the last two of the Billboard songs has increased.
Gu Wei clearly remembers that just 4 years later, one of Wu's English songs made it to the [Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart] with the help of his entire Asian fans, ranking 73rd, relying on the support of fans on the Internet.
Gu Wei felt that with the quality of his songs and the help of domestic fans, it was not difficult for him to go to the last [Billboard].
