Chapter 116 Kung Fu is released, and Qin Chuan wanted to do a commercial, and within a few days, Jin Lian arranged it for him.
Different from the last time I wished my social eldest brother a birthday, this time it was much more open and decent.
Congratulations to a young man’s 60-year-old girlfriend for her birthday.
In addition to birthday celebrations, company anniversaries, real estate openings, and concerts at a certain place, Qin Chuan participated in several events one after another.
A month later, in Guangdong Province, Xu Kee made pork trotter noodles.
After drinking the soup base, Qin Chuan wiped his mouth, lit a cigarette, and said to Wang Tingting, who was swallowing slowly: "I have collected enough money to lend you, 80,000 yuan. Do you want cash or punch in?"
This month he earned over 200,000 yuan, and after excluding the company's share, he received 80,000 yuan.
Commercial acting can make money faster, even faster than filming.
However, the two complement each other. If you don’t have a movie to attract people and increase your fame, you won’t be able to get commercial performances if you want, and they won’t invite you.
This is also the reason why many actors would rather get less pay while filming to win important roles.
The increase brought by fame is the main factor later. How much is the salary for a movie? Received several endorsements and participated in several commercial performances, but it was more than this.
Wang Tingting raised her head: "It's not 77,000, why did it change to 80,000?"
When she bought the car, she bargained for 3,000 in the store, but in the end she only got 77,000 by swiping her credit card.
Qin Chuan leaned back on his chair and puffed out smoke: "It's considered interest. Just take it."
Wang Tingting did the bargaining, and the manager lent the money. It was normal to give her some interest.
"Then I'm welcome. Of the 50,000 on the card, I'll give you 30,000 in cash."
"Can."
Wang Tingting smacked her lips: "It's you who make money as artists, 80,000 yuan, and you can pay it back in a month."
Technically less than a month.
The reason why it is one month is because the company's finance has a process for disbursing money, and it is paid on a monthly basis.
Qin Chuan smiled lightly and said, "Why, are you excited and want to make a debut?"
Wang Tingting pinched the tip of her little finger with her thumb: "I have this idea of throwing myself into the sea, but I don't want to be an artist, I want to be the boss of a brokerage company."
"I want to use your artists as a tool for me to make money."
The artist only has a few dollars, but the boss is the boss.
When an artist has to work hard at drinking, singing, and filming, it's very tiring and dangerous.
Being a boss is different.
Then it would not be Qin Chuan who was commanding her, but she would be commanding Qin Chuan, and he would move if he was told to do so.
"Then you have a long way to go. I suggest you start working for me as an assistant." Qin Chuan planned her career path seriously.
Wang Tingting was disgusted: "What are you talking about? If you let me do this for you, you will let me be your boss. Who do you think I am?"
Qin Chuan lowered his head and looked around.
Wang Tingting said: "Chuan'er, what are you looking for? Sister will help you find it."
"I'm looking for a hammer, and I want to give you a brain blow,"
"Haha, I'm just kidding, keep going, keep talking."
Qin Chuan took a puff of cigarette and said: "Be an assistant first, and then become an agent when you are proficient in business."
Wang Tingting bit her chopsticks and said, "Then you can't be a boss, it's not a part-time job."
"Don't be impatient. Listen to me. When my wings are strong in the future, no, when I start a business, you can switch jobs and be my secretary. You will be familiar with the company's processes and management. I will consider you as the general manager based on your performance."
"Is the secretary you are talking about a serious secretary?"
"What the hell." Qin Chuan lowered his head to look for the hammer again.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." Wang Tingting thought for a while and said, "Then I might as well get it right in one step. I'll be your secretary now and then promote me when you get rich."
"That's not right. Even if I become the general manager, I will still be under your control and work for you."
"It's different. Then you will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Maybe you will still have shares in the company and ring the bell to go public in the future."
Wang Tingting did not accept this trick: "You are still very good at deceiving people. You do one thing after another. Have you paid me this month's salary?"
Qin Chuan flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "No, let's get married next month."
All the money I earned last month has been used to pay off the debt, and I have no money for the time being. The next batch of money will have to wait a month.
"Then you will draw a pie for me?"
"This is not a big pie. Actors become poorer every three years and richer every five years. No one can predict which year the next drama will be a hit."
…
Qin Chuan did not wait for any year.
On May 6th, Kung Fu was released.
The first stop was the Toronto Film Festival, where it was nominated for three awards but did not win.
On June 18th, the second stop was the Tokyo International Film Festival. I was nominated but did not win an award.
After failing to win prizes at two international film festivals, investors and producers suffered a headache and lost confidence.
In the industry, some people have begun to badmouth Zhou Xingchi.
Originally planning to attend a few more film festivals, Chow Sing-chi didn't wait any longer. On July 1st, Kung Fu will be released in Singapore.
Winning the single-day box office championship of the day.
On July 3rd, Kung Fu was released simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong Island, winning the single-day box office championship in both places.
On July 5th, Wanwan was released and won the single-day box office championship.
On July 8, it will be released simultaneously in the United States, Philippines, India, South Korea, and Japan.
On Stephen Chow's release list, Kung Fu will be released in more than 50 countries around the world in the next six months.
This is the appeal of top directors.
In early August, Kung Fu was reflected in the Mainland and Hong Kong Island.
The mainland box office is 1.7 billion, the Hong Kong box office is 62 million, and the box office is 55 million.
It successively broke box office records in three places across the Taiwan Strait.
On the mainland, last year's box office champion was Feng Xiaogang's Mobile Phone, with a box office of 56 million.
Kung Fu directly surpassed its opponent with more than three times the box office, becoming one of the few Chinese-language films to have a box office of over 100 million.
The same goes for Hong Kong Island and Wanwan, which were topped by Kung Fu, crushing last year's box office champion and setting multiple records.
With an investment of 1.6 billion, even if the Chinese market achieved a total box office of 280 million, it would still be a loss no matter how you look at it.
But this is only the Chinese market, and overseas markets are running even faster.
In the next few days, good news came from overseas markets one after another. The total box office in Japan was 130 million, and in North America it was 140 million...
The global box office exceeded 300 million, 500 million, 600 million, 700 million...
The audience is numb, and so are the actors and directors in the industry.
It was too violent, it was a mess.
This is the first time so far that a Chinese-language film has been so dazzling in the global market.
Zhou Xingchi's name once again appeared in the sight of countless people.
Even the supporting characters in the movie became popular.
In just one month, Qin Chuan received interviews from more than 20 media, cover invitations from more than a dozen magazines, and interviews from five or six provincial stations.
There are also many scripts coming to me, including movies and TV series, many of which have male leads.
But after reading it, Qin Chuan and Jin Lian unanimously rejected it.
The quality is not good, Isshiki plays a gangster boss, and it is too repetitive with Brother Lichen in Kung Fu.
Sugar Man Film and Television, Peking Branch.
In Jin Lian's office.
On the sofa, Qin Chuan kept smoking, his breathing was very heavy, and the cigarette was shaking a little. "Sister Jin, I went out to buy groceries at noon today. I was called Brother Chen twenty-eight times from a distance of two hundred meters."
"I finally made it to the vegetable market. More than 30 people asked me for autographs, and some wanted to take photos. In the end, I couldn't buy any food."
Jin Lian smiled brightly and poured water for Qin Chuan herself to regain her mood: "The vegetable fan didn't give you a few cucumbers?"
"Give it as a gift. I didn't ask for it. I wanted to buy it with money, but my wallet was touched."
"Hahaha."
Jin Lian smiled and pointed at the computer: "Hundreds of emails, all looking for you, some are endorsements, some are advertisements, some are commercial performances, worth about five million."
Upon hearing this, the sparks in Qinchuan's cigarette butt suddenly lit up.
This is the real way for one person to attain enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Thank you Mr. Xing!
"But I haven't signed any of them, and I don't plan to sign either." Jin Lian poured a basin of cold water on her. Seeing that Qin Chuan had no reaction, she continued: "I plan to wait for the broadcast of Fairy Sword."
"I got the news that the post-production of Fairy Sword has been completed and will be broadcast by the end of this year. One Kung Fu and one Fairy Sword. Starting next year, you will be considered to be out of the category of ordinary artists."
"When the time comes to talk about endorsements and advertising, the revenue will be at least double what it is now."
The explosion of Kung Fu was something Jin Lian never expected. She knew it would be popular, but she didn't expect it to become so popular.
In addition to the previous role in A Chinese Ghost Story, Qin Chuan is now a third-tier actor.
But this is not enough, this winter we need to add another fire.
That is the fairy sword.
Next year, she wants Qin Chuan to become a new star in the entertainment industry.
Qin Chuan's breathing was a little heavy. Even though he had seen big storms, his heartbeat was still a little fast: "Can the headquarters agree to suppressing so many advertising endorsements?"
Jin Lian leaned on the shoulder of the sofa and tapped her fingertips: "At first, some leaders disagreed. I went there personally. After talking with Mr. Cai and Director Li, everyone unanimously decided not to sign advertisements and endorsements for the time being."
"Furthermore, Fairy Sword, which was originally scheduled to be aired early next year, has also been moved to November this year. This is to strike while the iron is hot and take advantage of this rare east wind of kung fu to take your fame and career to the next level."
"There is another advantage of doing this. News of casting for Zhang Jizhong's The Legend of the Condor Heroes has spread internally. With the addition of these two dramas, you have a greater chance of competing for the male lead."
With Kung Fu and Immortal Sword, it would be unreasonable if Qin Chuan was not popular.
If he can win the first male lead in The Condor Heroes, it is not impossible for Qin Chuan to step into the second tier next year.
Four years ahead of schedule and four less detours.
Of course, the upgrade is not entirely for Qin Chuan. According to the news from Optoelectronics, starting from next year, TV series adapted from the game will not be able to star.
In order to avoid this knife, Tangren decided to raise the file, no matter how high the price he paid, he had to raise the file.
There is a huge difference between a TV series that is a star and a TV series that is not.
The exposure of provincial stations is ten times that of local stations. If it is reduced to local stations, it is really useless.
Qin Chuan put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said seriously: "Sister Jin, I don't even know how to thank you."
I heard that Sister Jin doesn’t have a husband... This won’t work.
Jin Lian smiled with satisfaction and said: "The main reason is that the company has contributed a lot. You have to thank Mr. Cai and Director Li."
"I know that the company has helped me a lot, but you are my guide. To be honest, when I met you, I was very confused and planned to go back to my hometown. It was you who gave me the opportunity to go Today, without you, there would be no me..."
Jin Lian was moved, Qin Chuan is a good boy.
I originally thought that in addition to his talent, he was a little clever, but now it seems that he is still a kind and kind young man.
"Sister, don't forget the well digger when you are drinking water. From now on, you will be my biological sister. When I make money, I will buy you a house for your retirement and take care of you for the rest of your life."
The corner of Jin Lian's mouth twitched: "Forget it about old age, I'm not much older than you."
Qin Chuan wiped his slightly red eyes: "The meaning is the same."
"I understand what you mean. Let's talk about business. Are you still going to the Avenue of Stars?"
"Go, when will you sign up?"
The traffic of Avenue of Stars is still huge, comparable to that of I Am a Singer in later generations.
The first place can also be guaranteed to sing in the Spring Festival Gala, this is the big one.
There are not many experts on this track, but there are only a few famous ones, and Qin Chuan is confident that he can defeat them.
It's like giving a Spring Festival Gala performance for free. If you don't go, you won't go.
Jin Lian frowned: "You can sign up now, but are you sure you want to go? With your current reputation, it's not necessary to be in the top ten, right?"
She admitted that Qin Chuan has musical talent, but the contestants on the Avenue of Stars are not soft persimmons.
There are many professional singers, and many folk masters. Top students who graduated from music conservatories, some teachers, geniuses, and prodigies are all crowding into this stage.
Jin Lian had someone evaluate him and found that Qin Chuan's level was only in the top ten, or at most the top five.
Just finishing in fifth place, the exposure is limited, so it is better to play the leading male role of The Condor Heroes with peace of mind.
No matter what, I can just run two variety shows.
"Top five?" Qin Chuan Jiejie said with a smile, "My goal is the Spring Festival Gala."
Jin Lian was surprised: "So confident?"
"Must have it!"
"Are you hiding your stupidity from me? Are you sure you only have two or three songs in stock? The format of the Avenue of Stars competition is more than just two or three rounds."
Qin Chuan thought for a moment: "The first round is about spelling out sounds, so there is no need for originality. Later I will write three original songs, which should be enough to win the championship. If not, I will write two more."
Jin Lian didn’t know what to say, and she didn’t know how to persuade her. Is this human talk? When she opened her mouth, she would write three original songs, and when she closed her mouth, she would win the championship.
He also said that three songs were not enough to write two more.
He didn't take other opponents seriously at all.
It seems that going to the Avenue of Stars is just to buy goods, get trophies, and attend the Spring Festival Gala.
"I'll sign you up, as long as you have confidence."
"I will notify you as soon as there is any news from the Condor Heroes."
"Thank you, Sister Jin."
After lighting another cigarette, Qin Chuan put his hands in his pockets and left the office.
"Brother Chuan, are you leaving?"
"Brother Chuan, walk slowly."
"Come and sit whenever you have time."
Along the way, people from the company greeted him.
Seeing how enthusiastic these overtime workers were, Qin Chuan had no choice but to express his gratitude. He came to the front desk and took out 500 yuan and gave it to the girl at the front desk: "A cup of coffee each, I'll treat you."
After this cup of coffee, they can probably work for another two hours.
Turning the Mazda key in his hand, Qin Chuan felt windy as he walked. Maybe he was just lucky, there was no traffic jam at all today.
Three days later, auditions for the Avenue of Stars.
The scene was crowded with people, some watching the fun and some contestants.
The organizer set up more than 20 tents in the large square, and assigned two staff members to each tent to eliminate contestants.
After all, it is a CCTV variety show and not everyone can be on it.
There are currently more than 3,000 people who have signed up. This has already eliminated those who are too old, too young, and ugly.
In the next week, 90% of the candidates will be eliminated in the first round of auditions.
On the street not far away, in the Mazda car, Qin Chuan saw that it was almost time, opened the door and got out of the car.
Wang Tingting got out of the back seat and handed him the guitar.
Just like that, Qin Chuan, who had a slightly long Korean-style parting, a white shirt tucked into jeans, white shoes, and a guitar on his back, walked into the square.
Wan ordered books. Those who like to read entertainment should know that the author was not in good health before and it was more than a year ago. Now he is in good health. He is preparing to update again today. If you like it, you can check it out
