Chapter 472: Two Wings Flying Together
"The champion of the Voice of China quickly became famous because of the theme song of Passengers, "Light Years Away"."
"It is reported that Deng Ziqi has recently flown to Warner's headquarters in New York. One Heart Media President Yang Siwei revealed that Deng Ziqi will release his first English single simultaneously around the world on the 21st of this month!"
The news of Deng Ziqi's trip to the United States became a hot topic, and the second season of "The Voice of China" was also hotly discussed.
"This scene seems familiar. Back then, Deng Xiaoping visited the United States, and now Deng Ziqi is bravely entering the European and American music scene."
"The Voice of China crushed Happy Boys, and Deng Ziqi, who soared to fame, has now taken a global step."
"The two are not even in the same weight class!"
Mango TV Headquarters
The top executives of both Mango TV and Tianyu Entertainment, the two producers of "Happy Boy", looked unhappy.
The first round of the finals of "Happy Boy 2010" was just aired two days ago, but the ratings were completely crushed by "The Voice of China"!
This is something Mango TV cannot tolerate at all.
"Boss Shen, if Tianyu doesn't have a plan to deal with this, Happy Boys will come to an end after this season."
Mango's Zhu Deqiang was quite rude in his words.
Shen Yadong from Tianyu felt his face burning. When had he, Shen Yadong, ever been educated in such a half-threatening, half-reprimanding tone?
Deng Ziqi's gold medal effect directly led to poor ratings for this season of "Happy Boy".
Shen Yadong cursed secretly in his heart. After the second season of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, he suggested that Mango TV move forward the schedule of "Happy Boys".
The result was sternly rejected by Mango TV. What a joke.
When has Mango TV ever given up its prime time slot?
When have you ever been afraid of the competition for prime time?
In fact, Mango TV is also deceiving itself since "The Voice of China" and "Running Man" came out last year.
Mango TV is no longer the only show dominating Friday's prime time slot.
Instead, blueberries have soared and surpassed mangoes.
All in all, it was all caused by Leo, the young man from Rongchen Pictures.
Mango TV has shown goodwill to Rongchen Pictures over the years.
Xie Na pretended to be stupid more than once to express goodwill to Rongchen Pictures on behalf of Mango TV.
But Rongchen Pictures turned a blind eye to it.
The two sides once ceased to have any contact with each other because of the drama "Dae Jang Geum".
But Rongchen Pictures has developed too rapidly in recent years.
TV dramas and variety shows are both developing rapidly, and almost every year the TV drama ratings champion is either from Noon or Rongchen Pictures.
If mango wants to introduce it, it will only bring disgrace upon itself.
Send away the people from Tianyu.
The people from Mango held another meeting.
"Is Rongchen Pictures still doing the same thing?" The boss spoke, and everyone under him lowered their eyes and pretended to be dead, for fear of being singled out.
"I just don't understand! He cancelled "Jewel in the Palace" and we didn't care about it anymore, but he still can't get over it?"
"I don't care what you do, I want to see Insidious nominated for this year's Golden Eagle Awards!"
The sound of the boss knocking on the table made all the executives present secretly complain.
The boss really has no pain in his waist when he talks while standing.
Rongchen Pictures is like a local lord, and Li Chen has not joined any association.
He managed to stand firm in the circle by being aloof from the world.
They have already passed their messages through schools, artistes, and associations.
But they don't care about your mango at all.
What can you do!
"Lost" won the Magnolia Award, so how could it miss the Golden Eagle Award?
Even if there is no award, we have to bring it in to show off.
Otherwise, if "The Hidden Corner" is not nominated for the biennial Golden Eagle Awards, the Golden Eagle Awards will no longer be the Golden Rooster!
Originally, the Golden Eagle Award is not as good as the Feitian Award and the Magnolia Award among the three major awards.
Warner Music Headquarters New York
A rock single "Try" caused all members of Warner Music's creative department to get excited.
The foreigners with high noses and green eyes in the conference room were whispering to each other and nodding frequently.
"It's hard to believe this was actually written by a Chinese!"
"If you don't hear it with your own ears, it's hard to believe that Deng has such amazing explosive power in such a small body."
"The melody of this song is very familiar. Although it is not fresh and surprising enough, it is popular."
"Steven, are we really going to create this Chinese girl?"
"George, stop asking stupid questions like this. You can't question the headquarters' decision."
As the president of Warner Music, Steven naturally understood why the headquarters made the biggest concession to the Chinese director in terms of copyright and profit sharing.
The mere fact that Warner Music Greater China has seen such a huge profit growth in the past two years is enough to silence all of Warner’s senior executives.
What's more, Chiyou's profits are astonishing and have become an important part of Warner's financial report that cannot be ignored.
The imported variety show "The Voice of America" has set off a craze across the United States.
As long as "Inception" can remain as strong as before, the Chinese director will be Warner's most solid partner.
No one can deny the lethality of the US dollar.
Yang Siwei called Li Chen.
"Boss, Warner is very satisfied with your rock song "Try". Chen Jianshun said that Warner will definitely do its best to package Deng Ziqi."
Yang Siwei was on the phone while listening to the demo music sent by Warner, and his body was swaying gently to the catchy rock music.
Li Chen replied, "I know," and hung up the phone.
When Deng Ziqi appeared in Europe and the United States, he naturally had to choose a rock song to make a splash.
The song "try" sung by P!nk became a hit song on Tik Tok in later generations.
There is also a large market in China, so let Deng Ziqi's little giant lung roar!
Liu Yifei had just hung up the phone and walked over to Li Chen with a smile and sat down.
"Jingying called me and joked with me, asking me when I could write a song for her, because she can actually sing in English."
"I said, you don't even write for me, so why would you write for others?" Miss Liu pursed her nose and made a face.
Li Chen hugged her and said with a smile: "Didn't we agree that singing should be a side job?"
"Whenever you want to sing, I'll write it for you."
Ever since the filming of Inception was completed, Miss Liu took the initiative to tell him that she had decided to focus her career on acting.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for her to be the only one in the crew of "Inception" who didn't receive any awards.
What's more, more and more people are covering her songs on their own media, and she has also discovered the problem.
Compared with professional singers like Zhang Jingying, she has no advantage at all, not to mention Deng Ziqi and Yu Kewei from The Voice of China.
China News Service reported
"At the premiere of the movie "Earthquake", the whole world wept together and everyone shouted "China"!
"On the evening of July 7, the film "Earthquake" held its world premiere in TS. That afternoon, director Feng Xiaogang led the entire crew to the TS Earthquake Memorial Park to offer flowers and express condolences to the 12 compatriots who died in the earthquake."
"The heart-shaking plot of the movie not only moved the tens of thousands of TS fans at the scene, but also touched the heavens as the show drew to a close. After a burst of lightning and thunder, a downpour of rain came unexpectedly."
"Feng Xiaogang, who is full of TS words, expressed his true feelings: "I have completed the 'homework' you left for me in the fall of 2007 today. I wonder if it is correct?"
"That's right! Ten thousand TS people responded in unison!"
When Li Chen saw this news online, he knew that "The Great Earthquake" had ill intentions.
I’m afraid that many families in TS City will be inspired by the little steel cannon and go to the cinema.
At least it can contribute 200 to 300 million box office to the movie "The Great Earthquake".
This is just one city, what about Hebei, a province? How many would that be?
Add to that cities like Wenchuan that have suffered from disasters, and the box office revenue is difficult to estimate.
Li Chen felt very ashamed. From the moment the title was changed from "Aftershock" to "TS Earthquake", the little cannon's moral integrity was gone.
At midnight on the 16th, "Inception" was released simultaneously around the world. Due to the time difference, it was released in China first.
Chi You on the other side of the ocean and the four domestic producers have all focused their attention on China.
At this time, the daily box office of "Passengers" has dropped to around 400 million per day, the total domestic box office has reached 6.6 million, and the global total box office has exceeded 3.7 million.
There is still half a month left in the screening period, and whether "Passengers" can break 7 million has become the focus of media attention.
Fan Qiaoqiao was overjoyed, as she is now also a female star with a box office of 1.5 billion yuan.
She is the first domestic female star to achieve this achievement.
The nine films last year plus this year's one make it perfect.
Fan Qiaoqiao waved his hand and ordered an iPhone 4 for each of the studio employees!
But she hasn't gotten too carried away yet, as today's "Inception" is the highlight.
If "Inception" exceeds 500 million, she will be overshadowed by Liu Yifei again.
After thinking about it, Fan Qiaoqiao found himself a little funny.
"Why would I compare myself with her?"
"With Brother Chen here, my surpassing her is only temporary, but her suppressing me may be permanent!"
Fan Qiaoqiao shook his head and suddenly lost the mood to pay attention to "Inception"!
At the same time, Wang Zhonglei of Huayi also did not sleep.
Yang Siwei revealed that Deng Ziqi released the English single the day before "The Great Earthquake" was released.
He seriously suspected that it was Li Chen who instructed it.
Fortunately, the box office of "Passengers" has shown signs of decline, and its impact on "Earthquake" is almost negligible.
Sanya
Shu Qi and Ge You appeared at the midnight show of "Inception" wearing baseball caps and masks.
"Xiaogang is just like that. He says he doesn't care, but I said I'll go see what Inception is like."
"But he didn't say anything!" Ge You and Shu Qi were sitting in the last row.
The midnight show at this cinema in Sanya had an occupancy rate of only 60%. Even so, Ge You and Shu Qi were surprised.
After all, it is not the four major voting bases of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
A 60% attendance rate is already amazing.
"You can't blame Director Feng, you should blame the media for forcing Director Feng and Director Li together."
Shuqi has always been a loyal fan of Always, so he naturally prefers Always.
After 154 minutes, Shu Qi didn't understand, but Ge You did.
The next day, Feng Xiaogang received a call from Shu Qi but not from Ge You.
"Director Li's play is too brain-burning. I don't understand it."
"I'm afraid most people don't understand it like I do. Director Feng, I have confidence in "Earthquake"!" Shu Qi cheered Feng Xiaogang up with a giggle.
Feng Xiaogang said thank you and hung up the phone.
What he wants to know most now is the first-day box office of "Inception", so that he will have a rough idea in his mind.
