Chapter 360 Targeted Change of Style
Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" finally earned 1.55 million yuan at the box office.
"Red Cliff Part 2.7" grossed 5 million yuan, and the total of the two parts finally exceeded million yuan.
Li Chen remembered that in his previous life, both the upper and lower parts of Wu Yu Sen had grossed over 3 million.
There is no need for media analysis, Wu Yusen also knows that Li Chen is not the stumbling block.
"Red Cliff" will definitely achieve the 6 million target.
The first part had a bad start because of a meaningless war of words with Li Chen, which caused a reputation crisis.
The next part has two more minotaurs: "Ip Man 2" and "Crazy Racing".
The subsequent producers are all Rongchen Pictures.
No one believed that Li Chen didn't do it on purpose.
One month after its release, "Ip Man 2" grossed 2.45 million US dollars, with 985 million US dollars in North America and 5200 million US dollars in the world.
For a time, Zhang Jin was regarded by the media as Li Lianjie's successor.
This has caused mixed feelings for Real Bullet, which has been stuck in the middle for many years.
He doesn't care about being called Li Lianjie's successor.
But the surge in Zhang Jin's worth did make him feel uncomfortable.
Two years ago, Zhang Jin only earned hundreds of thousands of yuan for a play.
Now, after the two "Ip Man" movies, his net worth has skyrocketed to 300 million per movie, tying him with the others.
The most important thing is that Zhang Jin is much younger than him and fights better.
This made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
Real Bullet really wants to scream to the sky, do you understand real kung fu? Who understands my real kung fu? Who understands!
As the chairman of the Academy Awards, Chen Jiashang called Li Chen and invited him to be the award presenter.
"Ip Man 2" missed the Hong Kong Film Awards because it was released after January.
In this way, the three films produced by Rongchen Pictures can only participate in the selection of the best Asian films.
Li Chen himself might not be in the country in April, so he declined Chen Jiashang's invitation.
The selection of permanent guests for Running Man will be conducted at the end of February.
Yang Siwei sent his resume to Li Chen for review.
"Running Man" implements separation of production and broadcasting, with production led by Rongchen Pictures and assisted by Lighting.
For this purpose, the director team also needs to be recruited.
Otherwise, the existing directors of Rongchen Pictures would not be able to bear the heavy filming tasks of "Running Man".
"Running Man" is a reality show, and seven people need at least seven cameramen carrying cameras to follow them.
Carrying such a thing and running all the time is simply too much for one person.
Li Chen saw a name he hadn’t seen for a long time: Shen Teng.
Since participating in "Those Years", Shen Teng has starred in two more dramas, but they have always been tepid.
Thinking of Shen Teng, Li Chen wanted to laugh.
According to Yang Siwei, Shen Teng also holds the mentality of "if all is not well, there will be bright spots in the west", after all, he has rich stage experience.
In recent years, Shen Teng has invited him to watch their Mahua performances several times.
Li Chen was too busy to take care of it.
Zhu Yawen was informed by Yang Siwei to start gaining weight after the New Year.
When "Running Man" starts, he is not required to be comparable to Arnold, but he cannot still be swaying in the wind like Wang Xiaojian.
Zhu Yawen wanted to cry but had no tears: "Boss, please kill me!"
"Don't bully an honest person like this. Love Is Not Blind made me lose weight, and Running Man made me gain weight. I'm going crazy!"
Yang Siwei laughed and said, "This is what the boss meant. The role requires it, you have to understand."
"The boss said that you are the strongest person in the running man, you need to have a wasp waist and a monkey back like Yu Zhan'ao."
Zhu Yawen was speechless. In fact, he was not against gaining weight at all.
He felt sick just looking at himself acting like Wang Xiaojian, but he was a real man!
Since joining Yi Xin Media, Zeng Jia has immediately gotten into the role and positioned himself correctly.
In front of Yang Siwei, she was very humble, even though Yang Siwei was a few years younger than her.
Yang Siwei communicated with the agents of several of his artists one by one in the office.
Yang Mi, Tang Yan and Zhou Xun are the three people she cares about the most, so of course she can't favor one over the other.
Fortunately, Yi Xin Media is now well-known and has received all kinds of projects.
For example, Yu Zheng Studio in Shanghai.
There are two reasons why Yu Zheng found Yi Xin Media.
One reason is that Yi Xin Media has no shortage of popularity and attention.
The second reason is that Yi Xin Media is backed by Rongchen Pictures and is very strong.
If you don’t have money, don’t even think about filming a high-quality costume drama.
His drama about the palace fighting in the Han Dynasty adapted from the novel "The Rise and Fall of Weiyang" needs Yi Xin Media to serve as a stepping stone and help him take off.
In addition, Rongchen Pictures' "Lush" is about to be released.
He has read the original short story and is interested in the TV series "Insidious".
His drama "Beauty's Secret" can not only piggyback on TVB's "Beauty's Rival in Palace", but can also be said to be a costume version of "The Disguiser"!
In terms of marketing, our Yu family has a tradition of inheritance. Bernardo's Yu Pang may not be as authentic as my Yu Ma's.
In addition, he also has a backup plan, Zijun Media.
However, the other party has a South Korean background and is very demanding.
It is required that the female lead must be played by a South Korean actress.
The first choice was Song Huiqiao, who not only offered a high price of 20 per episode, but also had other additional conditions that made Yu Zheng a little overwhelmed.
The most important thing is that he was worried that if a South Korean actress was cast to play the role of the Chinese Queen, it would be tragic if the audience did not buy it.
But Yi Xin Media is not a pushover either.
Although Yang Siwei agreed to invest, he required that the female lead must be chosen by Yi Xin Media.
Yu Ma wanted to flip the table on the spot. He had originally chosen Lin Xinru to play Dou Yifang.
But because the situation was stronger than me, I had no choice but to accept it.
I originally thought I only wanted Yang Mi, but ended up losing Dou Yifang.
He wouldn't have known, if it weren't for Jiang Shuying's recording of Running Man.
Yang Siwei also wanted to give the role of Shen'er to Jiang Shuying.
I guess Yu Ma doesn't even have tears to cry.
He has already agreed to give the role of Shen Er to Wang Likun.
Zeng Jia knocked on the door and came in. Yang Siwei stood up with two documents in his hand.
After the two sat down, Yang Siwei got straight to the point: "The heroine Li Qian in "Low IQ Crime" gave it to Mimi."
"There is also a costume drama called "Beauty's Rival in Palace", with Xun Ge as the female lead and Mi Mi as the female second."
Yang Mi starred in "Painted Skin 2" and "So Young", and is one of the first-tier new generation actresses born in the 80s.
Zeng Jia might feel reluctant to play a supporting role to someone else.
However, Zeng Jia couldn't say a word as a supporting role to Zhou Xun.
She was originally Zhou Xun's agent, and Yang Siwei was well aware of this, so he felt comfortable with this arrangement.
At the same time, Zhang Hanyun came to Jinxiu Mingzuan with her agent.
I went up to the third floor cautiously with trepidation in my heart, and was led by the young lady into Li Chen's office.
President Yang asked her to come to the headquarters herself, and all the artists in Yi Xin Media called Jin Xiu Ming Zuan the headquarters.
She guessed it was about the single album.
Sure enough, after entering the office and meeting the boss, Zhang Hanyun became more and more nervous.
Since she signed the contract, she has only said one sentence to the big boss: Goodbye, boss.
It was at the premiere of "Ip Man 2".
It’s not that she doesn’t want to say more, but she simply doesn’t have the chance.
This time when they met alone, Li Chen gave her the feeling that he was a different person.
He no longer has the mysteriousness he shows to outsiders, but instead becomes as gentle as a big brother next door.
"Please sit down. You're welcome." Li Chen saw Zhang Hanyun fiddling with her hands unnaturally, so he smiled and asked her to sit down.
"Thank you, boss." When Zhang Hanyun saw Mr. Yang calling him boss that day, he followed Yang Siwei's lead and called Li Chen.
Li Chen took out the written music score from the file bag and handed it to Zhang Hanyun.
Zhang Hanyun took it with both hands, opened it, and the words "Chi Ling" came into view.
Before I had time to savor it, Li Chen had already spoken.
"Last year was the most popular year for Chinese style songs. Phoenix TV even opened a special column called 'Music Chinese Style'."
"Zhou Jielun's "Blue and White Porcelain" and SHE's "Chinese" are both outstanding in the Spring Festival Gala."
"I heard that Li Yuchun is also going to release Shu Embroidery, and just by looking at the name, you can tell it's also Chinese style."
“It’s a trend!”
"This song 'Chi Ling' is a combination of ancient and traditional Chinese styles."
"You are not fourteen or fifteen years old now, so the sweet and sour style is not suitable for you to stir-fry again."
Zhang Hanyun put down the music score, listened carefully and nodded.
She just glanced at the lyrics.
I just felt a desolate atmosphere flowing between the lines.
The boss writes the songs, according to Mr. Yang.
Only the boss lady Liu Yifei, the big sister Zhou Xun of Rongchen Pictures, and the triple-Award winner Zhang Manyu have received such treatment in the whole country.
It was even harder for her to be noticed by the boss than to win the Double Color Ball.
"You have to think carefully about not only the singing style of opera, but also the emotional investment of the country being destroyed but the mountains and rivers remaining."
"If you really can't relate, think about your own ups and downs in life over the past two years, maybe that will help."
"Since Li Yuchun is releasing it in May, we will release it in April to get ahead of him. The result depends on how you perform this song "Chi Ling"."
Zhang Hanyun stood up immediately: "Thank you, boss. I will definitely live up to your kindness."
Li Chen couldn't help but laugh, and motioned her to sit down: "Don't show your determination, and don't feel pressured. If one song doesn't work, then just two."
“I’m optimistic about you.”
Zhang Hanyun counted her nose and started crying again.
