Chapter 185: Movie Releases and Cameo Invitations
In the final stage, with the release of various versions of the trailer, Chen Zhibin also sang a new song for the promotion of "Passing by Your World".
For this song, Chen Zhibin delayed all morning, and Liu Yan got up early and ran to the recording studio to record the song.
In fact, at the beginning, director Zhang Baibai approached Chen Zhibin and wanted him to create a theme song for the movie, but because there was no song with too suitable meaning, Chen Zhibin refused after thinking about it.
For the sake of his signature in the theme song circle of film and television dramas, he can not accept it, but he must do a good job if he does, so it is better to refuse.
But even so, Chen Zhibin finally agreed to Zhang Baibai and Zhang Jiajia that when the movie came out, they could write a promotional song, so there was the song "Passing by the World" that has just been recorded.
"The only constant in the world is that people are fickle;"
"Passing through the world, love has a time limit......"
The song was written by Shi Rencheng, composed by Zhang Jianjunwei, and sung by Yu Kewei, which was used as an episode in the TV series "The Distance Between Us and Evil" in his previous life.
In addition, the song also won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards at the 13th Migu Music Festival in December 2019.
Since the song only has one or two lyrics with a relatively high degree of popularity, for Chen Zhibin, the theme song is a little worse, after all, a movie can only have a theme song, but it is no problem to be a promotion song.
Because as long as the publicity expenses are spent in place, a movie can have many promotional songs, and they are all sung by well-known singers.
Because it is Chen Zhibin's new song, "Passing by the World", a movie promotion song, immediately topped the music soaring chart as soon as it was released.
This alone proves Chen Zhibin's popularity status in the music world today, although the quality of this song is okay, but if it is placed under the name of a pure rookie singer, it will definitely not be so popular.
In his previous life, this song was successfully out of the circle because it was used as background music by a particularly powerful sketch "Goodbye Lao Zhang".
The creative angle of the sketch is similar to "Hello, Li Huanying", it is not novel, its popularity continues, and the reason why it is remembered by so many audiences is that the power of true love is the greatest and most moving.
Now that the sketch has not come out, the reason why this song is so popular is completely supported by Chen Zhibin's personal fame, plus it does have its merits, so there are still many fans who really like it.
Especially the meaning of the lyrics, coupled with the editing of the trailer screen of the movie, not only has the sadness of Chen Mo and Xiaorong and the chicken, the tragic love of the pig's head and the swallow, but also wraps the regret of Mao Eighteen and Lychee.
"It's worthy of Chen Zhibin!" Fans sighed.
Some people think that Chen Zhibin is Jiang Lang's talent, but some people feel that everyone does not really understand the meaning of "Passing by the World".
Just taking advantage of this opportunity, "Passing by Your World" spent the last promotional money on the topic of songs and movies, which attracted attention.
On September 29, 2016, after this period of publicity and discussion of topic public opinion, "Passing by the World from Ling" was finally released.
On the first day of release, the film achieved a box office of 80 million yuan with a 46% scheduling rate.
This data is already very successful in 2016.
The next day, that is, on September 30, the National Day file was officially opened, and with the simultaneous release of many films such as "Jue Ji", "My War" and "Operation Mekong", the film scheduling rate of "Passing by Your World" dropped instantly, from the original 46% to 27%.
However, because of the National Day holiday, although the film scheduling rate has dropped by nearly half, the overall box office has not decreased much, only 10 million yuan lower than the 80 million yuan box office on the first day.
On the third day, "Ace Teases Ace", which is also a National Day movie, was released, and Liu Dehua and Huang Xiaoming, the two "trump cards", played on the same stage.
Therefore, the film scheduling rate of "Passing by Your World" has dropped again and again, from 27% to 24%, but because it is the day of the National Day on October 1, and because it is Saturday, the box office has increased instead of falling, reaching 98 million yuan, almost exceeding a small goal.
In contrast, the two movies "Jue Ji" and "Ace Teases Ace" are much worse, they were originally overwhelming in the publicity stage, but they were defeated by "Passing by Your World" in just one round.
Next, the scheduling rate of these two movies decreased slightly, and they were all given to this youth movie starring Chen Zhibin and Deng Chao, Yue Yunpeng and others.
In less than a week, the single-day box office of "Ace Amuses Ace" successfully fell out of 10 million, and finally ended with 250 million yuan.
Guo Jingming's "Jue Ji" is slightly better, but it is not much better, it is the most powerful star lineup and the most popular movie on the National Day, but now it is high and low, and it has also disappeared in a week.
Under the trade-off, the gap between the three is even greater.
Compared with the precipitous decline of the first two movies, the single-day box office of "Passing by Your World" has been steadily declining, and on the day when the National Day is about to end, the only one who can compete with it is probably only "Operation Mekong" starring Zhang Hanyu and Peng Yuyan and others.
Finally, after more than a month of hot screenings, "Passing by Your World" ended successfully with a box office of 1.001 billion yuan, ranking second in the National Day file.
may be because of Chen Zhibin's joining, the film's achievements are nearly two more than in the previous life.
In this regard, Chen Zhibin is already very satisfied, with the salary plus box office sharing, he and Abin Venture Capital Company should be the investors who benefit the crew the most.
At this time, the party Chen Zhibin had already come to the Tangcheng Film and Television Base in Xiangyang, Jingchu, and made a cameo appearance in the group to shoot "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige.
At the beginning, for this movie, Chen Zhibin auditioned for the actor Bai Juyi in the film, that is, the role played by Huang Xuan, but because of the lack of the poet's bookishness, he was brushed off.
Fortunately, he originally had the attitude of giving it a try and improving his qualifications in the circle, after all, he can still improve his style by filming the works of big directors. What's more, if you can act, you can act, and if you can't act, there is no loss.
As for the investment into the group, Chen Zhibin must not consider it, the scale of this movie is grand, Chen Kaige built a Tangcheng film and television base for filming and framing, and the local real estate developer built a Tangcheng film and television base, which cost more than 1 billion yuan.
Although the Tangcheng Film and Television Base has gradually developed into a tourist attraction, it belongs to local real estate developers and has little to do with Chen Kaige's films.
The final box office of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is only more than 500 million, and the investment income is naturally not profitable, and Chen Zhibin did not come in this troubled water at all.
originally thought that this was the end, and it was an episode, but what Chen Zhibin didn't expect was that a week after being brushed down, Chen Kaige personally called him and asked him if he would like to play a cameo role.
As half of a traffic star, Chen Zhibin will definitely not do anything about lifting coffee for others, even if he is willing to be a fan, he can't be willing, but if it's just a cameo, then it's no problem, and it won't involve the problem of the role's position.
In the entertainment industry, some actors appear in film and television dramas of stars of the same level in the form of cameos in order to play a special role, and there are still many such examples, and Chen Zhibin naturally doesn't care too much about this.
It should be regarded as making friends with Chen Kaige in advance, and preparing for starring in the two "Changjin Lake" that together have a box office of nearly 10 billion in the future.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Zhibin simply agreed to the other party's invitation to play a cameo role in the movie.
