Chapter 464: The Final Candidate, Preparation for the Asian Television Festival
The selection of the idols of the times is in full swing.
Some people were eliminated, some people advanced directly, and some people were to be determined, and they continued to perform in the second round and finally successfully advanced.
And among these people, there is Edison Chen.
Originally, Chen Qiming thought that after being eliminated by him before, Edison Chen would be dissatisfied and make a mistake (deliberately) in the second round of the performance.
As a result, what he didn't expect was that Edison Chen actually played very steadily, won the promotion quota in one fell swoop, and became one of the seven-member group.
With the promotion of the last contestant, the 1998 era idol also ushered in the finale.
The seven people who were finally selected for the Times Idol Group are:
from the China region, Luo Zhixiang, Edison Chen, Guo Pinchao and Qiao Zhenyu.
The rest are Hideaki Ryuzawa from Japan, Minwoo Lee from South Korea, and TAE from Thailand.
Overall, this result is not too unexpected.
The strength of these people is obvious to all, not to mention surpassing the others in the show too much, but at this stage, they are the strongest.
What is Chen Qiming doing with all his time as an idol of the times?
To make money, of course.
As we all know, in later generations, idol groups are the easiest to make money.
So, he did this combination.
Therefore, when the Times Idol Selection Program ended, the plan for the Times Idol Group did not stop immediately.
After the end of this draft, Pacific Entertainment, the agency of the Times Idol Group, officially announced that it will launch a two-month Times Idol Tour next week.
Well, Chen Qiming's idea is simple.
At this stage, the idols of the times are on fire, and they are the time to sell the most tickets.
Instead of making an album for them right away, start making them money right away.
Of course, Chen Qiming is not the kind of person who only knows how to make money and does not think about the future.
It can be said that he really loves the idols of the times, and while he asked the company to arrange the idol group of the times to tour, he also prepared the songs of the group's first album.
In addition, he also asked Pacific Film and Television Company to prepare a movie script for the Times Idol Group, planning to let them star together.
Preparing the songs of the idol group of the times, Chen Qiming's attention to the idols of the times has come to an end.
After all, he has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to keep his mind on the idol group of the times.
You know, he has paid enough attention to the idols of the times.
Thinking about Jay Chou, he has not paid so much attention to the leaders of the next era.
Of course, the main thing is that Jay Chou has his own path and doesn't need too much attention from him.
After gradually handing over the operation and arrangement plan of the idol of the times to the company, Chen Qiming began to focus on ATV and film and television companies.
The first is that "I Have a Date with a Zombie" is about to start.
As ATV's big drama this year, it is also a TV series starring and supervising by Chen Qiming after taking over ATV.
Both the outside world and ATV itself are very concerned about this project.
In fact, Chen Qiming is still under a lot of pressure.
This drama can be described as a huge investment, which has pressed a lot of ATV's funds.
If the ratings do not meet expectations, then in the next year or two, ATV will basically not be able to make a big production.
There is no way, with him Chen Qiming starring, the innate investment is scary.
What kind of coffee position is he Chen Qiming now?
International superstar!
Even due to the economic crisis, his salary in Asia has inevitably dropped a lot like everyone else.
But his salary is still very high.
"I Have a Date with a Zombie", his salary is 700,000 episodes.
For 35 episodes of the TV series, he alone took nearly 25 million Hong Kong dollars.
Plus the filming needs, special effects, and other actors' salaries.
The investment in this drama is directly as high as 70 million Hong Kong dollars.
This can almost be said to be the TV series with the largest investment in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even the mainland over the years.
If this is pounced, not only will there be pressure on the follow-up development of ATV, but even Chen Qiming will be affected to a certain extent.
Why can Chen Qiming's salary be comparable to Jackie Chan in just a few years?
It's not because he's earning.
In the past few years, all the movies he starred in have basically made a lot of money for investment companies.
Even "Green Snake", which was scolded by the audience as a bad movie, made a lot of money in other cities and the income of various discs.
has been successful, and he has naturally attracted the attention of investors.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the whole of Asia, there is no company that does not want to invite Chen Qiming to star in a movie.
Japan's Tsuburaya Company even sent an invitation more than once, wanting to ask Chen Qiming to play Ultraman for them.
The other party once opened that as long as Chen Qiming goes, Tsuburaya is willing to tailor an Ultraman for him.
Sometimes, though, being too successful isn't necessarily a good thing.
Because that means you can't fail.
As soon as you fail, the credibility you have accumulated before will collapse in an instant.
Chen Qiming believes that as long as the ratings of "I Have a Date with a Zombie" are not good, then he will definitely be questioned.
What he no longer has the ability to carry the box office, or his exaggerated claims will follow.
Therefore, in order not to make ATV difficult in the next two years, and not to let its credibility collapse.
"I Have a Date with a Zombie" can't afford to be missed.
In order to ensure the success of this play.
A month before the release of this drama, ATV began a bombardment of publicity.
In Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Japan and South Korea, Chen Qiming has started large-scale roadshow publicity.
And in addition to promoting the TV series.
Chen Qiming and ATV's senior management began to prepare the plan that Chen Qiming had formulated since he took office:
"Asian Television Festival".
For this award, ATV can be said to have prepared a lot.
Chen Qiming personally called and contacted many TV stations in Japan, South Korea and other countries.
In addition, many TV drama production companies that have become popular this year have received ATV invitations.
In December, they will all come here with their own company's TV series to participate in the awards.
As for celebrities and the like, there is no need for Chen Qiming to come out.
Celebrities are all chasing the spotlight.
ATV has such a big face, and reporters and media are indispensable, but all actors who are a little self-motivated will not let go of this opportunity.
Of course, some big-name figures definitely need Chen Qiming to make a phone call in person.
For example, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and others.
Anyway, in order to make this award a grand event.
Famous actors and singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, ATV has almost been invited.
In order to be able to start the Asian festival in one fell swoop.
"Cross out Chen Ziqiang's name!"
ATV, Chen Qiming is reviewing the invitation list.
Among a bunch of familiar names, Chen Qiming saw the name of Jackie Chan's former agent.
Yes, former brokers.
Not long ago, Chen Ziqiang and Jackie Chan officially broke up.
Without the name of Jackie Chan's agent, Chen Qiming no longer needs to give him a little face.
What kind of garbage, actually digging into their own corners openly.
