Chapter 291 The Fifth Billionaire Director
The quarterfinals on the 29th were broadcast live, and there were many people watching.
Li Yuchun successfully advanced to the finals with an absolute advantage. His stage appeal was so strong and he was the first one to appear, which affected the performance of the next two players to be somewhat unstable.
The competition system of "Supergirl" is very complicated, with various voting, judges' voting, audience voting in the venue, audience voting by SMS outside the venue, elimination, resurrection, and another round of discussion...
But these It has nothing to do with him anymore. The three singers that Xingchen Entertainment is optimistic about have all advanced, and they have been promoted directly.
Now Zhang Liangying, Li Yuchun, and Zhou Bichang each have a masterpiece, and other contestants look at them with eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Especially Zhang Liangying, Zhang Chen has already booked her to sing the theme song of next year's "Painted Skin", which is equivalent to ensuring that she can make her debut.
Even if Jane Zhang doesn’t get the top three in the end, someone will definitely sign her, not to mention that she won’t get the top three?
Are these three people that Xingchen Entertainment is optimistic about being in the top three?
The game is over, but the impact is just beginning to spread.
Pushing open the door of the office, Chen Xi said with a smile: "In the past two days, song invitations have been flying in, and they are all big names. You have become famous."
Zhang Chen curled his lips and said, "I was so early." Just become famous, okay?"
"No, I mean you have become famous in the music industry, and you are known as a great talent."
Any of the three songs Zhang Chen came up with. It can be used as the title song of the album. The key is that he came up with three songs at once.
Those in the circle who were doubtful about him at first have now given up their worries.
A well-known director would not make fun of his own reputation.
If people say this is written by me, then it should be written by me.
“Let’s hear what big names invite you to sing...”
Zhang Chen wanted to satisfy his vanity, Chen Xi read beside him: “Wang Fei, Niu Cobalt Lu Ying, Sun Nan, Liu Milk Tea...
There are definitely more people who want to invite you to sing, but you are a well-known director, so I guess many people don’t dare to send out invitations.”
"Forget it, I'm not going to continue to accept the song regardless of whether it's invited or not. A song can only be sold for a few dollars. It's 200,000 yuan, so it's not interesting."
Participating in "Super Girl" this time is originally In order to promote the movie, those few songs were purely stepping stones, and becoming famous was completely accidental.
He didn't plan to join the music industry either.
That’s only a few dollars!
"By the way, how is the box office of "Stone" going?"
"It's so good, it beats "Seven Swords" by ten blocks..."
Speaking of this, Chen Xi immediately became excited: "Zhang Liangying, Li Yuchun, and Zhou Bichang are all very good, and Mango TV is also very cooperative. The top eight After the game, they immediately called on their fans to watch the movie, and even appeared in person to watch it with their fans. They also praised "Stones" during interviews...
On the contrary, "Seven Swords" The singers they supported were not impressive at all. Instead of being grateful, the fans were quite resentful. They felt that the quality of the songs they produced was not good, which led to a series of bad reviews for "Seven Swords"..."
Chen Xi's tone is full of gloating, let you learn...
"By the way, Mango TV wants to continue to invite you to participate in the eight-to-six competition next week. What do you mean?"
Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Forget it, our purpose is to promote the movie. Being a guest on one flight is enough. Any more may have the opposite effect. Moreover, Mango TV wants to continue to do it for nothing. How can I still have so much inventory for them? ..."
You know with your buttocks that Mango TV must have valued Zhang Chen’s influence and creative ability.
This top ten competition is much more popular and influential than the previous top ten competitions.
Not to mention anything else, the three original songs provided by Zhang Chen are very popular.
In past competitions, singers sang covers of other people's songs, which was not as exciting as singing original songs.
But Zhang Chen’s inventory is also limited, so it’s impossible to take it out all the time.
But after thinking about it, I felt that it would not be good to refuse directly: "Forget it, I will post a blog to explain it. Forget it about the guests. If those three people can enter the top three, I will give each of them a first prize. Song.”
There is no harm in making friends with Mango TV and the three super girls, Zhang Chen decided to help them again.
Although "Supergirl" ended in August, the popularity will last at least until the end of the year. He remembered that Mango Channel even took several Supergirls on a tour.
"Taken" will be released in October, and Supergirl and Mango Channel will also be needed to help promote it.
On the same day, Zhang Chen's new blog was reprinted by major entertainment media~
[Thanks to Mango Channel and the "Super Girl" program team for their affirmation, but I thought about it again and again and decided to refuse to continue to be a guest.
I participated in a quarter-finals competition. I was honored to appreciate the grace of all the super girls, but I also deeply felt my own shortcomings. After all, I am not in the music industry.
Miaoshou occasionally has a few excellent songs, and it is enough to support the singers he likes. If he participates deeply, it will be a bit annoying.
At the same time, I would like to thank several super girls for helping to promote the movie "Crazy Stone". There is no way to repay the deep friendship. I hereby promise that if the three super girls, Zhang Liangying, Li Yuchun, and Zhou Bichang, can successfully advance to the top three, I will send you a gift to each of them. A song】
That's enough.
According to the strength of the three of them, Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang should have no problem entering the top three. The original Zhang Liangying had some luck.
But with the current popularity, there should be no problem.
As for whether the three of them still have the same ranking, it is not their thing to worry about.
……
Ciwen Media, Ma Zhongjun looked at the newspaper in his hand and then at the box office data next to him, his eyes went dark.
On August 1, "Seven Swords" sold 2.3 million and "The Stone" sold 8 million. On August 2, "Seven Swords" had 1.9 million and "The Stone" had 9.2 million.
On August 3, "Seven Swords" had 2.3 million and "The Stone" had 10.8 million.
On August 4, "Seven Swords" had 2.3 million and "Stone" had 9.02 million.
...
The box office of "Seven Swords" was negligible, but "Stone" seemed to have wings and completely took off.
Looking at the contrasting box office data, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
In terms of publicity, he has used all his skills. Whatever Xingchen Entertainment does, Ciwen Media will follow suit, but the results are completely different.
Methods can be copied, but details cannot.
The success of "Stone" depends not only on publicity, but also on Zhang Chen's talent.
……
Kempinski Hotel and Star Entertainment held a celebration banquet.
On the 4th, "Stone" successfully exceeded 100 million yuan, and China's fifth billionaire director was born.
This is a big deal!
The four major directors ahead of him who have entered the billion-dollar club, except for Zhang Chen, are all well-known directors who have been famous for a long time.
Compared to them, Ning Hao was like a firefly.
A newcomer who has only made two movies, his second commercial movie directly exceeded 100 million.
What is this concept?
It shocked the circle directly.
Only then did people discover that two of the five billionaire directors were from Xingchen Entertainment.
The name Xingchen Entertainment suddenly became the focus of media discussion like Ning Hao.
Mr. Han admired Ning Hao very much. At the dinner table, he kept asking Ning Hao what movie he was planning to make. China Film Group would definitely vote for it.
I can only say that this is fate.
Among the young directors of the original time and space, the one I admired the most was Ning Hao. Ning Hao became famous in one fell swoop with "Stones". Third Master added another three million to the money he earned from "Stones" and invested all of it. The next "Racing".
Ning Hao did not disappoint him. "Crazy Racing" directly exceeded 100 million and became a god.
Now the Third Master is not just an admirer, he is a member of the system and sees things differently.
Third Master's eyes passed over Zhang Chen and Ning Hao, "In the past, those pretentious guys have been attacking us with the film censorship system, saying that domestic films are like propositional essays, limiting their Imagine, so domestic movies cannot develop.
But your appearance proves that those are all excuses!
Zhang Chen proved that horror movies can also produce high box office, and Ning Hao proved it. Small-budget comedies can also be excellent. In the future, if those guys use censorship to talk about things, the General Administration will probably use you to stop them. Haha, I really want to see what their expressions will be like..."
Han Sanping laughed heartily. He had been annoyed by those guys for a long time.
The box office of "Stone" is still growing steadily. It can only be said that "Supergirl" is really powerful.
The showdown between "The Stone" and "Seven Swords" can be called a classic case of the weak defeating the strong in the history of film.
Some film and television companies are already summarizing the promotion strategy for "Stone".
The previous publicity was quite routine, with various media resources intensively bombarding it. At most, it borrowed some of Zhang Chen’s personal influence.
But it was different starting from the time I posted a blog to criticize Ke Yimin.
First, he scolded Ke Yimin to gain attention and favor from the public, and then participated in the "Super Girl" program.
The most important thing is the few songs provided by Zhang Chen, the first of which is a classic, in order to achieve a tacit interaction between the singer and Xingchen Entertainment.
After summarizing, everyone realized that it was impossible to copy.
Almost every aspect is tailor-made.
Zhang Chen has a dynamite body, so people pay attention to him when he scolds Ke Yimin.
The songs Zhang Chen produced are classic enough, so singers use his songs to influence each other and achieve mutual success.
How to learn this?
While other companies were still racking their brains, Teacher Fu approached Zhang Chen again.
"The film "Falling Leaves Returns to Its Roots" is still in preparation and is expected to start shooting in September. I came here today not for this reason, but because I was entrusted by the school and wanted you and Ning Hao to give a speech to the school..."
"Are you going to give a speech again?"
"Haha, Ning Hao is also from Nortel. He has successfully joined the Billion Dollar Club. The school must be honored and would like to report it..."
Zhang Chen thought for a while: "I can't make a decision for Ning Hao. You can talk to him in person. It's definitely not possible for me. It's already August and I'm going to Venice in two days. " The post-production of "Rescue" has been completed. This time I want to go out and watch it myself..."
"Oh, in this case, can you promise me that when "Rescue" is released in China, I will give it to you first? Let's do a trial screening within Nortel, which can be regarded as a face to the school leaders..."
"This is no problem."
