Chapter 289 Quarterfinals (1)
In the past two days, the box office of "Stone" has indeed increased significantly. The reason is of course because of "Supergirl".
The quarter-finals have not started yet, but Zhang Chen provided three songs for free. The quality of the key three songs is very good.
"Super Girl" is not a fool. Whether you can advance or not involves the fate of others. Even if you are a great director, if the songs you provide are not good, they will definitely not use them.
But the three super girls, without exception, chose the song provided by Zhang Chen. What does this mean?
It shows that the songs provided by Zhang Chen are good enough.
But outside speculation is just the opposite. Everyone is generally questioning that the decision of the three women is because of Zhang Chen’s identity as director.
Don’t want to offend anyone!
It’s understandable if a person is good at making movies. There are actually many geniuses in China.
I am great at making movies, and I am also great at writing songs. This is a bit ridiculous.
In novels, this is called the protagonist template. In real life, unless there is a system, it is difficult for one person to achieve results in multiple fields.
Many professionals in the music industry have jumped out and questioned that composing music and writing lyrics is not that easy. Do you think it can be done by one person?
Do you understand what professionalism means?
Some people are already preparing to use Zhang Chen as a stepping stone on their way to fame.
You may be a good person in the film industry, but when you come to the music industry, you are nothing.
...
Ciwen Media, Ma Zhongjun was reading relevant reports in his office.
The media is spreading rumors that Zhang Chen wrote the song himself, and Ma Zhongjun definitely doesn’t believe it.
What about cheating ghosts?
But he is not a pedantic person.
Although the two sides are in a competitive relationship, he still recognizes Zhang Chen's abilities, especially his publicity ability, which his team cannot even catch up with.
So their strategy is also very simple. Whatever you do, I will just copy it.
Ciwen Media also tried to invite a few songs to contact other super girls.
If you invest in Li Yuchun, Zhang Liangying and Zhou Bichang, then I will bet on Ye Yiqian, He Jie and Ji Minjia.
Those who can enter the top ten in the country must at least prove that their professional ability is no problem.
As for who can reach the end, it has something to do with luck.
The media is even more lively now, and everyone can see that "The Stone" and "Seven Swords" have extended the battlefield beyond the movie.
Other private companies have turned their attention, this is too tragic.
If future movie promotions are to be done this way, a few movie companies can afford to lose.
But Mango Terrace is happy to see the results.
The involvement of two film companies is equivalent to the fusion of the film and music circles, and the exposure has not only been raised to a higher level.
……
In Xingchen Entertainment, Zhang Chen was also looking at the box office data.
To be honest, the box office performance of "Stone" was completely unexpected.
He was thinking of relying on "Supergirl" to boost the box office of "Stone", but he felt that the effect would not be effective until at least the quarterfinals were broadcast. He did not expect that it would be reflected now.
Why is this happening? Of course it's because those three super girls also understand the world.
Zhang Chen, a great domestic director, he provided three songs for free, and each of them is a classic. This is such a huge favor.
Don’t mention providing songs, even if you don’t provide songs, just by publicly expressing support for you, the singer will get more attention than ordinary people.
So the three super girls consciously mobilized their fans to support Star Entertainment’s movie.
"Stone" was booked one show after another~
The logic of fans is also very simple. If you support my idol, then I will support your movie.
A ticket only costs a few dozen yuan~
What is surprising is that people who have seen it said that the movie is really good, which is a complete surprise.
Just like when you buy something, the merchant gives you a gift, and then you find out that the gift is actually an international brand product. Are you surprised or surprised?
Originally, I responded to my idol’s call and went to see a movie, thinking that I was helping my idol return a favor, but I didn’t expect that the movie was quite good.
This creates a positive cycle.
The fans of Li Yuchun, Zhang Liangying and Zhou Bichang have all become fans of "The Stone", and they spontaneously spread the word about the movie to the people around them.
At the same time, He Jie and other fans of the three singers supported by Ciwen were also doing the same thing, but their feelings were completely different.
Everyone on the "Stone" side felt happy after watching the movie, but on the "Seven Swords" side it seemed like they were fed shit.
"What did I watch? Why in the whole drama, I think the villain Sun Honglei was the best actor..."
Some fans expressed their doubts just after watching it.
“Yiqian, I did what I promised you and supported "Seven Swords", but...
Forget it, I'd better watch "Stone" again to wash my eyes... …”
Supporting idols means supporting idols, but fans don’t want to wrong themselves. Someone expressed his thoughts in the post forum and immediately received support from a large number of people.
“We don’t count as enemies, we just comfort ourselves...”
Someone has found the best explanation for his behavior, and now there is no more psychological burden.
Now, the three fans of Zhang Liangying are happy.
Where does happiness come from? Isn’t it the result of comparison?
The movies recommended by their idols are great, but the movies recommended by their rival idols are rubbish. This really makes the three fans feel a great sense of satisfaction.
Then, "Stone" exploded... it exploded very abnormally...
In the third week after the movie was released, the box office of "Seven Swords" increased slightly, but the box office of "Stone" showed a strange upward curve.
Subsequently, Mango Channel officially announced that at the national top eight competition to be held this Friday, Star Entertainment and Ciwen Media will send representatives as guests to witness the growth of the singer.
……
July 29, 2005, "Super Girl" national top eight competition
Later generations will evaluate "Supergirl" in 2005 as the first phenomenal talent show in China.
What is a phenomenon level is a national discussion.
The popularity of "Supergirl" is unimaginable now. It is no exaggeration to say that "everyone is empty". At its peak, the ratings even exceeded the Spring Festival Gala.
And it covers all ages, and many families watch it together as a whole.
Mango Channel was also confused at the beginning. They had no idea that "Supergirl" would become so popular. It was like a Pandora's Box that was opened unintentionally.
So it cannot be copied at all.
Many years later, in the cover photo of the ELLE Fashion Festival, Li Yuchun still occupies the C position among the female stars. Many people questioned her why, just because she was the winner voted by 3,528,308 SMS votes!
In 2005, a text message cost one yuan. Li Yuchun won the first place with 3.52 million votes, Zhou Bichang second with 3.27 million votes, and Zhang Liangying third with 1.35 million votes.
The three giants of Xingchen Entertainment, Zhang Chen, Chen Xi, and Dong Jianqiang, were sitting at the guest seats respectively. The three of them belong to different fan camps.
Similarly, Ciwen Media also sent three representatives to the fan seats of the singers they supported.
At the beginning of the show, the host introduced the guests, the camera showed everyone, and everyone waved.
Mango Channel also gave Zhang Chen a brief introduction. Wang Han came forward for an interview: "Director Zhang Chen, I'm curious, do big directors also watch our talent show?"
Zhang Chen smiled gracefully: "Of course, our Chen Xi watched it at first, and then we followed it. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be pretty good."
The camera also showed Chen Xi, who smiled and waved to everyone. Waving her hands, she still feels unreal.
“I saw you sitting in Jane Zhang’s fan group, are you a jelly?”
"Yes, I am Liang Fen. Among all the super girls, I like Zhang Liangying's dolphin voice the most."
"But I noticed that Ms. Chen Xi and Manager Dong are not sitting with you..."
"Well, the players we support are different. Chen Xi likes Li Yuchun, and Lao Dong only loves Zhou Bichang. Sometimes when we discuss in the office, we will quarrel because of the three of them..."
Hahaha~
Listening to what Zhang Chen said was interesting, the audience burst into laughter.
"I heard that you also wrote songs for three contestants?"
"Yes, originally I only wrote one song for Zhang Liangying, but later they found out about it and said no, if I want to write it, it must be written for Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang also played a song each. I had no choice but to give it to him together..."
The crowd burst into laughter again. They had actually seen these gossips before, but hearing it from the person involved made them feel different. no the same.
“Actually, I learned that the songs that Liangying, Chunchun and Bibi are going to sing today are definitely the three songs given to them by Director Zhang. Several other contestants have also received invitations from Ciwen Media. I support you. These are all original songs. It is said that the quality is very good. Everyone must be as curious as me. Let’s wait and see..."
Wang Han’s summary drew the audience’s attention back to the competition itself. The cameraman Once again, the focus is given to the super girls.
The atmosphere was lively, and the three people sitting in front of the fan group looked at each other.
Passers-by thought that they and Mango Terrace were mutually beneficial, but only Zhang Chen knew that they actually took advantage of each other.
Later generations of scholars from the Academy of Social Sciences once analyzed in the "Cultural Blue Book" that the total revenue of "Super Girl" in 2005 from all aspects added up to about 766 million yuan.
So scary!
As a platform, Mango Channel has a direct income of more than 70 million yuan during the broadcast period alone, with naming fees of 20 million yuan, text message income of 30 million yuan, and advertising income of 20 million yuan.
With this kind of popularity, if it weren't for Zhang Chen's identity and the fact that he sent three more songs, and wanted to use this platform to promote the movie, there would definitely be bloodshed.
But now it hasn’t spent a penny~
I don’t know if Ciwen Media didn’t spend any money. Even if it didn’t, it was because of Zhang Chen’s help.
At the beginning, ten players must eliminate one person.
The 10 contestants are divided into two groups to sing, and the contestant with the lowest number of votes outside the venue is selected to compete with the contestant selected by the judges and one of them is eliminated.
It has to be said that Mango Channel is indeed very careful about the competition system and tries to be fair.
PK is also a PK between the player with the lowest number of votes outside the venue and the player selected by the judges, fully devolving the power into the hands of the audience, which may be the reason why it is so popular.
At least he didn't treat the audience as a fool.
The jury unanimously selected Zhu Yan, and the one with the lowest number of votes outside the venue was Ji Minjia. The two competed against each other, and Zhu Yan was eliminated in the end.
Seeing Ji Minjia win, Ciwen Media breathed a sigh of relief. If the player they supported was eliminated at the beginning, it would not be a shame to be thrown into grandma's house.
Fortunately, Ji Minjia still has some strength.
Looking at Xingchen Entertainment, everyone is full of confidence.
After one person is eliminated, there are only nine players left. According to the competition system, they are divided into three groups of PK.
Coincidentally, the three people supported by Star Entertainment happened to be in the third group, which prevented them from killing each other in the quarterfinals.
The same is true for Ciwen Media.
Everyone could tell that this must have been deliberately arranged by the program team, but they didn't care.
All they want is for the show to be good.
If it can increase visibility, there are unwritten rules.
