Chapter 721 Two Money Trees
After entering the summer vacation, July in Beijing is already the hottest period of the year.
The sun is high in the sky, the trees on the roadside are yellowed by the hot sunshine, and the withered leaves rustle in the breeze.
There are no shortage of vehicles on the road. On both sides of the road, there are workers in work clothes hurriedly walking, and there are also tourists in casual clothes holding parasols and taking a leisurely stroll.
A rolling heat wave fills the city, and the air is filled with a hot breath.
"No, it's too hot outside. Nan Nan, let's stop shopping and go home.
It's too hot today. If we continue shopping, I will definitely suffer from heat stroke."
A man wearing a white hat The little girl in a sky blue dress raised her hands to fan the wind with a sad look on her face.
Beside her was a short-haired girl wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. The two of them had just walked out of the mall behind them.
“It was your idea to go shopping today, but it won’t work now?”
The girl in the white hat had a sad face.
“I didn’t expect it to be so hot today. Going out for shopping is just asking for trouble.
In this kind of weather, you should stay at home with the air conditioner on, eat snacks and watch dramas.”< br>
As she spoke, she put her arm around the short-haired girl next to her.
“Let’s go to my house. I haven’t watched the two episodes of [Chen Qing Ling] updated today.
Let's go back and watch today's update together."
The short-haired girl shook her head.
"Look at the hot searches and comments on the Internet [Chen Qing Ling] has been very popular recently, this drama has them Is it that nice to say? ”
Speaking of this girl with a white hat, she is in high spirits.
“Of course she looks good. “Wei Wuxian” and “Lan Wangji” are so awesome. Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi are so handsome. , is simply a natural choice for two roles.
I recommended it to you a long time ago, why don’t you read it? "
"Well, I heard that this is a delayed reform drama. You know I have no interest in this type of drama."
"Ah, believe me, as long as you watch two You'll love it once you set it up, you won't be disappointed!
Anyway, I have nothing to do during the summer vacation. I will start watching it again from the first episode with you.
Let’s go to my house.”
While they were talking, the two little girls waved into the taxi.
In early July, [Chen Qing Ling] was exclusively broadcast on Tengxun Video.
To be honest, the statistics of this Dangai web drama when it first aired were not very good. After all, the leading actors Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi were only small stars outside the third tier at this time, and their number of fans and popularity were very low.
However, due to the good cooperative relationship between the producer [Wei Ming Xia] and Tengxun Video, and with the company's strong promotion, [Chen Qing Ling] has received considerable publicity resources on the Tengxun platform.
Gold will always shine, and good dramas will not be buried as long as they have the chance.
A week later, the reputation of "Chen Qing Ling" gradually grew, the number of online broadcasts increased rapidly, and there were more and more discussions about the TV series.
Tengxun Video itself also realized that this web drama was popular, so it was logical to invest more promotional resources.
“In the two weeks since its launch, [Chen Qing Ling]’s single-day views have exceeded 100 million, and its total views have exceeded 1 billion. It is considered the most popular online drama since the summer season.
What is commendable is that this drama has a very high amount of discussion on the Internet.
It can be seen that everyone who has watched it loves it.
The Douban score has also surged from 5.1 on the first day to 7.4. Depending on the situation, the score will further improve as the number of reviewers increases."
In the office of [Wei Ming Xia], Yang Liwen reported to Gu Wei [Chen Qing Ling] Recent data
"This is just the beginning. As word of mouth spreads, the performance of this drama will be even better." Gu Wei picked up the coffee on the desk in front of him and blew it gently. Liao Chui took a sip.
No one knew better than him how popular this Dangai web drama without any big-name stars would be.
"It was because of that. Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi are not well-known, and [Chen Qing Ling] cannot be sold at a high price, so we signed a tiered sharing contract with Tengxun Video. The better the performance in the future, the higher our income will be.”
Different from other TV series produced by "Wei Tian Xia", "Chen Qing Ling" has a small star from the protagonist to the supporting role.
Tengxun Video’s quotation was definitely not satisfactory to Gu Wei, so he negotiated and signed a tiered share contract similar to the one he used when he first sold [Prince Concubine’s Promotion Story], so that no matter whether it was a hit or a big hit, neither side would be satisfied. deficit.
"Copyright income comes second. I value more the drama's contribution to the reputation of Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi.
What are their recent schedules?"
"From After [Chen Qing Ling] aired, the two of them have been busy promoting it
There are interviews and activities organized by the platform, as well as variety shows organized by the company.
In recent times, thanks to the popularity of TV dramas, their exposure has been very high."
Gu Wei nodded.
"[Chen Qing Ling] Hot After the broadcast, the traffic of Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi will increase dramatically. The company must be prepared for the two to become popular, and all personnel must keep up.
The contact with resources and the control and evaluation of online marketing are top-notch”
Yang Liwen's eyes widened slightly after hearing this, a little unsure.
“Boss, it’s just a web drama, can it bring out two top-notch people?”
In the entertainment industry, big or small, there are only so many top-notch people. A few, and most of them have been around for many years.
The most recent person who has become popular and can be considered a top performer is Cai Xukun, who debuted in the C position of [Idol Producer] last year. He caught up with the talent show variety show in the past two years and became very popular.
However, there are only some die-hard fans. The national level is still far behind Lu Han, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, and Yang Yang. It is doubtful whether it can continue to be popular.
"Of course, there is no doubt about this.
The most important thing now is to arrange the personal teams of Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi. These two people will be the company's two cash cows in the future.
I don't want to They have negative comments like 'singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball', so we should pay attention to all aspects of their words in the future.
The market is so big, and the two new traffics will definitely have an impact on other homeless stars. If you want to avoid being hacked, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and your team must also be strong.”
“Understood, I will arrange personnel to optimize the personal team of these two people to the highest standards”
>
Yang Liwen has always been very convinced of her boss's judgment.
The boss said that Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi can become top players, which means that they really have this possibility.
As the general manager of [Wei Tianxia Agency], she is very aware of how huge the benefits a top star can bring.
Especially because these two people were not famous before, the contract they signed was only better than that of the newcomers, and the company's share ratio was relatively high.
After listening to Yang Liwen reporting on some recent company affairs and signing some documents, Gu Wei returned to the editing room and continued to stare at the post-production of [Tang Detective 3].
In the afternoon, Gu Wei changed his clothes and came out of the company and got into his black Bentley.
China Film Star International Cinema.
The red carpet outside the theater was crowded with reporters, audiences and fans. Next to it were several standing posters of [Galaxy Tutorial School].
Celebrities walked by on the red carpet from time to time, causing people around to scream.
Today is the premiere of [Galaxy Tutorial] in Beijing. This film, produced by Guangguang and directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, focuses on educational topics. It can be said that the promotion has been in full swing in the past month.
This is the third film directed by Deng Chao after "The Breakup Master" and "The Villain Angel".
Different from the first two pure comedies, [Galaxy Tutorial] is a drama film.
Since the success of "I'm Not a Medicine God", there is no longer a saying in the industry that feature films cannot sell at the box office.
Some films that focus on sensitive topics are more interesting.
[I am not the God of Medicine] discusses medical treatment, while [Galaxy Tutorial School] focuses on education issues.
Starring Deng Chao, even if it is a drama, comedy elements are indispensable. Drama + comedy can be said to be the configuration of a blockbuster movie.
In recent years, the summer season has become an important period after the Spring Festival.
In 2016, there was a super big IP [Detective Chinatown 2], in 2017 there was [Wolf Warrior 2] which swept the national box office and topped the box office, and last year there was [I Am Not the God of Medicine] which had both box office and word-of-mouth success.
But since this summer, there have been no outstanding films in the domestic film market.
[Galaxy Tutoring School] is a movie that many parties expect will make a difference in this year's summer season.
“Deng Chao and Sun Li are here, take photos quickly!”
“A family of four, so warm!”
“Deng Chao is a winner in life with both sons and daughters. !”
“.”
On the red carpet, Deng Chao held Sun Li's hand. The two of them smiled and waved to reporters and fans around them from time to time.
His son, wearing a black children's suit, held his sister's hand and walked in front of the two of them. He looked like a little adult and strode forward without any stage fright in the face of so many people watching. .
"Daughter-in-law, come inside later and watch the two children.
Many friends are coming today, I have to go and greet them."
A family of four finished walking the red carpet. , after taking photos at the signature board, and walking inside, Deng Chao whispered in Sun Li's ear.
"Go and do your work, leave the child to me."
Sun Li can be said to be 100% supportive of her husband's career.
Her own celebrity status is actually not inferior to that of Deng Chao. What is commendable is that she has been supporting Deng Chao's career while being busy with her own work.
“Chen He and Lu Han are here. [Running Man] has a really good relationship with these people, but I heard that Deng Chao and the others withdrew this year. I don’t know why.”
"Others are fine. Even the captain Deng Chao has quit. I feel like there is nothing left to see in [Running Man]."
"Wang Baoqiang is also here. It is said that he has a new girlfriend now. Is it true or not?"
"Look, it's Wu Jing. He rarely shows up recently. I didn't expect to come to today's premiere. "Style"
There are a lot of stars on the red carpet, and Deng Chao has many friends in the industry. Coupled with the support of the light, today's premiere can be called a star-studded event.
While the crowd was discussing the celebrities present, a deafening scream came from the beginning of the red carpet.
“Ah ah ah, Gu Wei, it’s Gu Wei!”
"Husband, I love you, look here!"
"Gu Wei, you are so handsome!!"
"Brother, look here, ah!!"
As a slender figure walked across the red carpet, the surrounding fans and audiences started to get excited.
Reporters are no longer stingy with camera memory and power, and the flash lights keep flashing.
"I'm going, Gu Wei is here too, didn't he say he was filming a movie?"
"Yes, I read the news that he should be filming in Tokyo, [Tang Detective 3], I've been waiting. It’s been 3 years, and shooting has finally started.”
“It should be finished. I remember reading in the news that his movie was to start shooting in May. It’s been more than two months.”
“ Gu Wei has been keeping a low profile these past two months. Apart from attending Zhang Ruoyun's wedding at the end of last month, there was almost no news. "
"Of course there is no news as he is filming, but he has a drama to be broadcast next month. It is estimated that the promotion will start in a few days”
"Which drama, movie or TV series, haven't you heard of it?"
"The TV series seems to be the one [Eastern Palace] that was filmed last year. It hasn't been publicly promoted yet. I also heard from friends at the TV station."
"Brother, thank you for coming to support today!"
Gu Wei entered the venue, and Deng Chao, as the host, stood near the door to greet him.
"Brother Chao is so polite. I happened to be back in China after finishing the movie a while ago. I have been working on post-production these days and I have time."
"I know, [Tang Detective 3], the third part of the famous "Tang Detective" series, your filming is quite slow. Fans and audiences are waiting impatiently.
When are you planning to release it? Next year during the Spring Festival? "
With the size of [Tang Detective 3], it is definitely aiming for a box office of more than 4 billion. After all, the second part has already earned 3.9 billion.
Currently, only the summer and Spring Festival schedules in China are suitable for such popular movies.
“Haha, it depends on the situation. Don’t consider the release before the post-production is completed.
Everyone has high expectations for the third part of this series, and we will definitely choose a suitable schedule. "It will definitely not be released during the Spring Festival next year. By then, let alone [Tang Detective 3], no movie will be released. < br>
What Gu Wei is more aware of is the Spring Festival of the year after next, which is 2021. There will be a wave of revenge movie viewing at that time, which is the best time to get high box office.
“I hear it. Say Brother Chao, you left [Running Man]? "After chatting for a while, Gu Wei mentioned the [Running Man] thing.
"Listen to what Reba said.
Indeed, because of some things in the last season, there was a little conflict with the program team.
I feel that after the revision, it is different from the beginning, and I feel more and more restricted.
However, Tengxun recently approached me and planned to start a new outdoor variety show. We can make decisions on many things ourselves.
Are you interested in playing together? "Deng Chao looked at Gu Wei and extended the invitation.
"Is it similar to [Running Man] or [Extremely Selective]? ”
“Absolutely, it’s a travel outdoor reality show~”
"My schedule is too full, I have several dramas waiting to be filmed, and there are a lot of things in the company. I don't have enough time to be a permanent resident. It's okay to be a flying guest for one or two episodes now and then."
"Okay , then it’s settled, the show has been decided, don’t refuse if I ask you to be a guest on the flight!” Deng Chao raised his eyebrows and patted Gu Wei on the shoulder with a smile.
"Don't worry, isn't it just for fun~" Gu Wei knew in his heart that Deng Chao's new variety show should be [Five Ha]. He had watched a few episodes of the original time and space and felt that it was pretty good.
“There are a lot of people here to cheer me up today, don’t just greet me, go and get busy~”
“Okay, I’ll get busy, Chen He and Xiaolu are also here. , you can chat with them”
Deng Chao and Gu Wei nodded and turned to walk away.
