157: Being a dad doesn't lose money, and the album sells well
"What?"
"Bright Sword?"
"Hmm~~ The name is okay!"
When he heard the words "Bright Sword", he immediately thought, "Second Battalion Commander, where is your special mother's Italian artillery?" ”
This is a classic TV series on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, which was rebroadcast more than 200 times by major TV stations that year, and it was repeatedly broadcast 50 times in Chongqing alone.
Until many years later, "Bright Sword" was still talked about...... I really didn't expect that no one was willing to invest in the filming stage!
Xu Ning decided to pick up the leak, because he liked this drama very much, and many of the characters in it are still fresh in his memory, such as:
Regiment commander Li Yunlong, political commissar Zhao Gang, guard monks, cavalry company soldiers, 358th Regiment Chu Yunfei, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Wang Yousheng who watched the gate......
Thinking of this, Xu Ning suddenly became interested, but now he can't show his excitement, so he has to hold on.
He took a sip of the cool white open that Liu Yinyin had prepared for him, and said casually: "What kind of drama is this "Bright Sword", Brother Xie, you can tell me in detail." ”
When Xie Ning heard it, he felt that there was a play.
Immediately pressed the pause button on the treadmill, and then walked down numbly, and he sat on another bench press bench.
"I really don't understand this, do you want me to call my friend and ask?" He knows better. ”
Talking, talking,
Shainin bent down "a waist that can't be held by one person", ready to pick up a 30-kilogram barbell piece from the ground and lift it twice.
However, I didn't expect the barbell plate to give face, and it stuck tightly to the ground, not moving at all.
He smiled awkwardly, then picked up a 2.5-kilogram piece and put it in front of him, pushing it up and down.
"Well, yes, just ask."
After that, he lay down on the bench again and began a new set of 120kg warm-ups.
Liu Yuqiao was about to come over to assist him, but was called away by Xu Ning, "This weight has to be assisted, what about looking down on me?" ”
Liu Yuqiao thought to himself, this weight is almost catching up with my two weights, "Brother Ning, how long is your body?" It's too powerful. ”
"Eat more and practice more."
"Whew~~ This 120 kg is the same as playing, and it will go directly to 150 later." Xu Ning thought as he pushed.
As he kept dreaming up attributes during this time, his physical strength had been slowly increasing.
Nowadays, it is estimated that no male star in the entire entertainment industry has a better figure than him.
It is really a tough body like a special soldier, and a strong strength at the level of a gym boss.
After a set of 150 kg bench presses, Xie Ning also walked back from the door, and he sat next to Xu Ning:
"Xiao Xu, can you give your phone number to Chen Jian, the director of "Bright Sword", and let him tell you in person."
Xu Ning nodded, "Yes, Brother Xie, you ask him to remember my number, 13412... 66。 ”
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Let him fight now, I don't have much time during the day." ”
Xie Ning hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I'll tell him now...... Brother Li, you asked Jian Chen to call now. ”
……
In less than two minutes, a phone call came, Xu Ning answered, and a very nervous voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Xu, hello, I am Chen Jian, the director of "Bright Sword", thank you very much for this opportunity."
Listened to this...... I don't know why, it feels so cool, that's what it's like to be an investor?
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I heard that your script is about the Anti-Japanese War, can you tell me more about it?"
As soon as Chen Jian heard it, he knew that there was a play, because he had seen several investors before, and when he heard that it was the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, he shook his head.
In less than a second, Jian Chen said the words he had prepared during the day, and Xu Ning had been listening.
Five minutes later, Jian Chen stopped speaking, and during this time, Xu Ning did not interrupt him at all.
"This story is very good, but you just said that Li Yunlong committed suicide in the end, and I don't like this ending a little."
Jian Chen chuckled in his heart, but Xu Ning opened his mouth again, "In this way, find a time for you to come to Hengdian with the script, and we will talk about it in person." ”
Jian Chen hurriedly thanked: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xu, I will pass next week, no, tomorrow." ”
"Haha, don't worry, I'm filming in Xinchang today, you go to Hengdian next Friday, and then call me."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xu."
"You're welcome, then I'll hang up first."
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
Hung up the phone.
Xie Ning walked over with a smile on his face: "Thank you, thank you, I must invite you to dinner another day." ”
"Brother Xie is polite, come, let's practice again, it's still early." Xu Ning picked up the plastic sword again and danced.
After practicing for about half an hour, and the time reached half past eight in the evening, several people packed up their things and went back to their rooms to prepare for bed.
……
A few days later.
After filming the scene of Jingtan Temple, the crew originally wanted to go back to Hengdian directly, but temporarily adjusted the filming plan.
Director Yu Mingsheng saw the beautiful scenery of Xinchang and had a whim, and prepared to shoot exterior here, and then stayed here for more than ten days.
Chen Jian, the director of "Bright Sword", arrived in Hengdian more than ten days ago, but Xu Ning's itinerary changed abruptly, causing him to travel in Hengdian for half a month.
These expenses were all paid by Xu Ning, and Jian Chen didn't have much money...... Can't let him dig it himself.
Someone pays, and Jian Chen is naturally happy...... He lived in Hengdian for half a month, polishing the script and playing everywhere, so happy.
At the end of April,
Xinchang's scene is finished,
The crew packed up their things and went back to Hengdian.
On the car,
Liu Yinyin answered the phone with one hand, kept writing down some numbers in the pen book with the other, and showed a happy smile from time to time.
"Xiao Ning, good news."
After answering the phone, she immediately turned her head to look at Xu Ning, her fair and tender little face was full of joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise:
"The sales volume of [epoch-making] in the mainland has exceeded 1.55 million, and there are 200,000 and 70,000 in Baodao and Xiangjiang respectively."
Su Chang's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "It's only been released for more than a month, and the total amount is more than 1.8 million......
"Haha, yes, the tape hasn't been counted yet, an album is priced at 30 yuan a piece in mainland China, and 70 yuan a piece in Hong Kong and Taiwan, probably ...... Sold for 80 million. ”
Hearing Liu Yinyin's words, Su Chang and Yan Danchen, who originally had no concept of the album, were speechless in shock.
Su Chang: "......"
Yan Danchen: "......"
Xu Ning had already been mentally prepared.
With this money, after deducting the issuance cost and channel dividends, I can probably get more than 60%.
That's more than 48 million.
This is only the sales volume in the month of release.
Generally speaking, the month of the album's debut is the highest sales, and the second month is ...... Not in the waist, but directly to the knee.
It would be nice to sell 300,000 copies the next month.
Jay Chou's fifth album "Qili Xiang" was first released in August 2004 and sold 2.6 million copies that month, but the total sales in the end were just over 3 million copies.
[Epoch-making] sold 1.8 million in April, although it couldn't beat Jay Chou, but it still left other singers behind.
There are four main reasons why it can sell so well.
One is that his fame has increased very quickly during this time...... There are two Jin Yong dramas broadcast in the past, and then there are Xingye, Zhang Yimou and Fang Long movies, and then there is the traffic effect brought by the endorsement of Sprite...... made him quickly rise to the ranks of A-list stars.
The second is that the [epoch-making] album is of excellent quality, whether it is "Nocturne" or "Blue and White Porcelain", or "Spring Breeze Ten Miles", they are particularly capable of playing.
The third is that the publicity and distribution of [epoch-making] is very powerful, with 100 radio stations in Asia bombing in turn for a week, the promotion of CCTV's MTV music channel, and the advertorial promotion of major newspapers and media, it is impossible to think of being famous.
The fourth is the support of fans, especially female fans, who bought nearly 70% of the albums.
After combing through the things of the album in his mind, Xu Ning put his body close to the co-pilot's position, stuck it next to Yin Yin and said:
"Yin Yin, go back tonight and you register a Tieba account, the name is [Xu Ning's Microphone], I'll record a video and put it in Tieba, thank you fans for their support."
Did this wave of fans directly make fans climax?
In the era when Weibo was not yet available, Xu Ning took the lead in interacting with fans online, which was the first time, and it is estimated that it can make many fans excited for a night.
A few people in the car seemed to be surprised by Xu Ning's "perverted degree", and they were now able to accept Xu Ning's bullshit.
It's just that
They had a small request, "Treat you to dinner tonight, no ...... Eat for a week. ”
"Haha, it's a small problem, it's okay to eat for a month." Xu Ning said with a smile, "As long as you don't worry about being fat." ”
Su Chang took his hand and shook it around, pouting and grinning: "I'm not afraid, I'll rely on you if I get fat, you support me." ”
Xu Ning scratched her nose, "Hey, raise such a big daughter!" ”
Hearing the word daughter,
Su Chang stopped talking.
She sat back in her seat lonely.
"What's wrong Changchang, I raised you, I didn't say I wouldn't support you, as long as you need it in the future, feel free to find me."
Before Xu Ning could continue to speak, Yan Danchen whispered in his ear:
"Changchang's parents divorced a long time ago, her mother just passed away a few years ago, and now she lives at her aunt's house, I guess I think of her mother."
Xu Ning really didn't know that Su Chang had such a childhood...... Seeing her alive every day, I thought she must have been very happy when she was a child.
Su Chang was born in 1987, he is only 17 years old this year, but he has endured so much, this child is very strong.
Xu Ning touched her head and hugged her into his arms, "It's okay, I'll raise you in the future, it's just more pairs of chopsticks, it's not that I can't afford chopsticks." ”
"Poof~" Su Chang laughed suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears, "This is what you said, I didn't force you." ”
"Well, I said that."
"Then how about I call you Dad Xu in the future?" Su Chang smiled, this Dad Xu made several other people laugh.
This child seems to be really lacking in fatherly love.
Xu Ning thought about it, it would not be a loss to be a father, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, good daughter." ”
"Haha, I didn't expect that Xu Daxing, who is only 24 years old, has a 17-year-old goddaughter, it's really good."
Yan Danchen was a little envious.
"If you want, be a goddaughter..."
"No, I'm a few years older than you, I really can't stand it psychologically." Yan Danchen waved his hand again and again.
This sentence has a deep meaning, and it is psychologically unacceptable...... Does that mean physically, okay?
"Haha~"
“……”
Along the way, there was talk and laughter to Hengdian, and after Xu Ning got off the car, he walked to the hotel room.
Su Chang and Yin Yin followed him into the room, Chang Chang held a video recorder in his hand, "Godfather, let's start." ”
Xu Ning said hello and began to speak:
"Hello, friends, I'm Xu Ning, and this is my first time recording a short video...... Thank you very much for your support for my new album [Epoch-Making], and I would like to say thank you to my fans and friends......"
The whole video was about a minute and a half, and after it was recorded, Liu Yinyin took it to the crew to do some post-production.
After Xu Ning finished the finished product, he opened the notebook and prepared to register an account and send the video.
But I saw a private message from Zhao Liying, the owner of [Xu Ning Bar]...... This girl, a message made him wait for more than a month.
After clicking on it, he saw the reply, which almost made him laugh off his big teeth, and the girl actually scolded him.
[Hmph, big liar, if you are Xu Ning's assistant, then I am Xu Ning's wife and want to deceive me...... No way. ]
Seeing this message, he was not allowed to remark the new number, so he directly used this account to post videos.
Let this little girl feel what it means to be shocked!
After sending it, he wrote down the account number and password and gave it to Liu Yinyin: "Yinyin, you will manage this account in the future." ”
Liu Yinyin snorted.
"Yin Yin, you come with you tonight, let's go out for dinner." After Xu Ning finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called Chen Jian.
"Brother Chen, let's go to the Yunxiang Pavilion in the town for dinner at half past five tonight, and Brother Xie Ning will also go with you."
