The Spring Festival Gala is approaching!
Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran were both a little anxious.
Wang Cheng seemed to have completely disappeared in the past two months.
Other celebrity artists who participated in the Spring Festival Gala have taken time to come over and rehearse several times.
But as the protagonist Wang Cheng, who had a separate unit this year, he did not come even once.
Many celebrity artists who came to rehearse have privately asked the directing team - when will Wang Cheng come?
They all want to meet Wang Cheng in private. Even if Wang Cheng is aloof and doesn't say a word to them, they can go out and brag when they meet!
this day.
Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran flew to Hengdian in person again and directly visited Wang Cheng's crew.
Because I arrived after one o'clock at noon, it happened to be the time when Wang Cheng had lunch with everyone.
Su Hailong, Qin Mo, An Keru, Xia Xi and others of course all know these two big shots, and they all say hello!
Su Hailong hurriedly came up to say hello: "Director Xie, Director Qin, hello!"
Xie Xingfeng and Su Hailong had collaborated once before. Su Hailong had served as the deputy director of his crew, so he had a deep impression of Su Hailong. He smiled and said: "Old Su, how about cooperating with Wang Cheng this time? The whole country wants to work with Wang Cheng." There are countless people who cooperate with Cheng, but you are lucky."
Su Hailong smiled, his eyes still full of energy, and said seriously: "I have benefited a lot. The past two months of working with Wang Cheng have been the most fruitful two months of my life!"
Xie Xingfeng was stunned for a moment. He knew that Su Hailong was quite accomplished in the director's profession. In terms of directing ability and ability to control the crew, he was definitely not weaker than first-line directors. However, his background was too shallow and he had no capital to support him.
Hence, Su Hailong is outwardly humble towards any director, but in fact he is confident and proud in his heart, and considers himself to be no weaker than anyone else.
But now, Su Hailong admires Wang Cheng from the bottom of his heart and feels that he has learned a lot from Wang Cheng!
Xie Xingfeng patted Su Hailong on the shoulder: "Just learn something. How about we continue to cooperate next time?"
Su Hailong smiled and said: "Of course that's good! But let's wait until Director Wang's movie is released."
Su Hailong's eyes flashed with expectation and confidence.
Waiting for the release of Wang Cheng’s movie?
Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran both had a flash of something strange.
Could it be that Su Hailong has confidence in Wang Cheng's movie?
However, they didn’t think much about it.
After all, Su Hailong is also the assistant director, and this is Su Hailong's movie. It is inevitable to have confidence in his own movie.
No director would say that his movie is not good!
Even if it fails at the box office, it will be said that the audience will not appreciate the good film.
What's more, some big directors will use their connections to mobilize many big names to say that the movie is good, but the audience will not appreciate it, in order to brainwash all viewers and make some passersby have self-doubt - is it really true? I don't appreciate it?
However, no matter how much brainwashing is done, the market will give a positive answer!
If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work!
Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran are skeptical about Wang Cheng's movies.
After all, Wang Cheng is only 19 years old and has no directing experience at all. He started shooting science fiction movies. Isn’t this child’s play?
This is Wang Cheng. If other people at this age want to play like this, no one will play with you. No one will use their career to play with you, unless they are small-time actors and Internet celebrities who only watch Money matters.
Xie Xingfeng looked at An Keru and said hello: "Keru, how are you?"
An Keru was still wearing filming clothes, a tight leather jacket, and her hair tied back. She looked extremely capable and energetic, giving people the feeling of a cold killer, which was completely different from the previous classical temperament. This made Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran both A little bit amazing!
With An Keru’s look, they can definitely go to the cinema to see it!
An Keru smiled at Xie Xingfeng and said, "It's not bad!"
An Keru didn't say much, but the happiness in his heart was already revealed in his eyes.
The filming of this film has now been completed. She has already filmed an emotional scene with Wang Cheng. Although the kissing scene was filmed in a borrowed position, she also enjoyed the process!
Xie Xingfeng was silent for a moment.
He knew how much An Keru had suffered in order to accept Wang Cheng's film contract. He refused to invest more than 200 million in an annual large-scale film and television drama, and also offended top TV drama director Director Song, thus offending a large number of people. He wanted to accept another one in the future. It would be very difficult to do a similar large-scale production.
However, he saw that Ankeru was happy from the bottom of his heart!
Women are indeed emotional!
Qin Shangran greeted Xia Xi: "Xiaoxia, how is your work lately? Is it going well?"
Xia Xi smiled sweetly: "Very good, thank you Uncle Qin for your concern!"
Xia Xi also smiled happily from the bottom of her heart. This was the happiest day in her life.
Being able to be with the person you love most every day, taking care of his daily life, and watching him work, what else is there to be unsatisfied about?
Although, she didn't say a few words to Wang Cheng.
But, she is already satisfied!
Qin Shangran didn't ask any more questions and came to Wang Cheng's side with Xie Xingfeng.
Wang Cheng was sitting at his own small dining table eating a simple meal. The lunch boxes eaten by other actors were cooked together and were treated without distinction.
Qin Mo and Xia Xi can only improve everyone’s food standards.
“Wang Cheng, how are you doing?”
Xie Xingfeng came over and sat in front of Wang Cheng and said hello: "The Spring Festival Gala will start in a month. When will you go over to rehearse?"
Wang Cheng did not speak, but continued to finish the food in the rice bowl, and then said: "Wait another half month!"
Qin Shangran frowned: "There's still half a month left? There's only half a month of preparation time left. Is it too late?"
Wang Cheng nodded: "That's enough!"
Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran looked at each other. They both knew what Wang Cheng had decided and they had no way to change it unless they gave up cooperation.
However, after finally paying a huge price to get Wang Cheng to participate in the Spring Festival Gala performance, how could they give up?
In particular, the highest ratings of the previous variety shows in which Wang Cheng participated had exceeded eight points. They could no longer give up on Wang Cheng. They also hoped that the Spring Festival Gala in which Wang Cheng participated could raise the ratings to a higher figure and surpass CCTV. The gap with other local stations has widened further, just like it did in the last century.
Qin Shangran tried to ask: "The Chinese New Year is the day that everyone is most looking forward to. Wang Cheng, many of your fans have been waiting for your performance and your new song! We hope that you can compose two songs when you perform How about the new song?"
Wang Cheng looked at Qin Shangran: "Is this a request from the program team?"
Qin Shangran smiled and said: "This is our request to you! Moreover, it is also the dream of your fans and fans. It is the Chinese New Year, and we hope you can satisfy the wishes of these fans and fans."
Wang Cheng was silent, thought for a moment, and then said softly: "Okay! Then let's sing two new songs."
Qin Shangran and Xie Xingfeng looked at each other, both full of surprise.
Qin Mo, Xia Xi, An Keru and others next to them all also showed expectant smiles!
Wang Cheng’s new song, who doesn’t look forward to it?
Which song by Wang Cheng is not on their playlist?
I haven’t gotten tired of listening to it for several months. I still listen to it at least two or three times a day!
"Great! By the way, Wang Cheng, there are several star singers who perform with you. Can you interact with them during the performance? That is, sing a chorus song or a duet song? Like this? It can make the party more festive!"
As a director, Xie Xingfeng also put forward his own suggestions to Wang Cheng! Wang Cheng didn't agree immediately. This was the next job and he hadn't thought about it yet, so he said calmly: "I don't know, let's wait until then!"
Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't want to talk about this, Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran stopped asking any more questions, fearing that Wang Cheng would be unhappy.
Wang Cheng has promised to sing two new songs, which is already their biggest gain.
Afterwards, they asked the publicity department to announce it and hype it up. The popularity was absolutely explosive, and the anticipation for Wang Cheng's performance period was definitely full. The ratings were definitely worth looking forward to.
Although, the poems that Wang Cheng wrote on several variety shows before were astonishing and eye-catching, creating miraculous ratings!
but…
Wang Cheng’s pop songs are definitely more attractive than ancient poetry.
Of course, Wang Cheng’s poems are all masterpieces through the ages, and everyone who reads them will definitely agree with them.
However, compared to most people, pop songs are more attractive and catchy.
Just like when I randomly interview passers-by, there must be some people who have not heard the amazing ancient poems written by Wang Cheng, but absolutely everyone has heard Wang Cheng’s music.
This is the upper limit determined by the audience.
Xie Xingfeng looked at Wang Cheng and continued: "Wang Cheng, your movie shooting is progressing very quickly. Can the post-production be completed? Do you want me to help you find someone?"
Xie Xingfeng hoped that Wang Cheng could leave the crew as soon as possible so that he could report to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program. He was worried that Wang Cheng would take too long and delay the Spring Festival Gala performance. If there was not enough time for Wang Cheng to produce two new songs, he would have to sing Wang Cheng's old songs casually. If Ge comes to make up the numbers, the loss will be huge.
Wang Cheng shook his head: "No, I will go to CCTV to report in half a month. If you are fine, just leave!"
Wang Cheng directly issued an order to expel the guests.
He just wants to finish the current job as soon as possible while maintaining quality and quantity, and can wait until the next job is finished before discussing the next job.
Mixing two jobs together will only slow down his efficiency and quality.
So, he started driving people away!
Xie Xingfeng smiled and said: "Wang Cheng, I know the top editors and soundtrack teams in the country. If you need..."
Wang Cheng shook his head: "No need..."
Qin Shangran gave Xie Xingfeng a wink, telling him to shut up, and then said, "Can you make it in time for the Spring Festival? I want to see the movie you made!"
Wang Cheng said calmly: "I don't know the release date. All I can do is make the movie!"
After saying that, Wang Cheng ignored the two of them, stood up and walked to the rest room, where he began to prepare for a nap and continue shooting in the afternoon!
The shooting of the footage will be completed in two or three days. The special effects team over there is also working on it simultaneously, and it is estimated that it will be completed in the near future.
Several special effects teams collaborated together, coupled with Wang Cheng’s remote command, the efficiency was very high.
Once everything is completed, Wang Cheng plans to spend another ten days on post-production integration such as editing and scoring, and it should be completed.
As for when it will be released!
He doesn't care, it's not his job.
Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran were relieved to leave Wang Cheng again. They had more expectations for Wang Cheng's new songs, but at the same time they were a little worried, worried that Wang Cheng would waste more time on the movie.
After getting in the car, Xie Xingfeng frowned and said: "Wang Cheng's movie looks like it might be a bit famous. Su Hailong is not a casual person! If Wang Cheng made a bad movie, he wouldn't be like this and would definitely feel uncomfortable. , his face is ugly! However, Su Hailong makes me feel very happy, enjoying and looking forward to it!"
Qin Shangran shook his head: "No matter what, it's just a science fiction film. Wang Cheng is only nineteen years old. What can he make? Are you overthinking? You are a great director and you still don't understand the difficulty of making a movie? "
Xie Xingfeng listened and nodded.
It’s because he knows best how difficult it is to make a blockbuster film, so he is confused and confused.
However, he was too lazy to think about it and shook his head: "Forget it, let's finish the Spring Festival Gala first! Now let's spread the news about Wang Cheng's two new songs to build up the hype!"
Qin Shangran nodded: "I will ask the publicity side to follow up!"
As soon as the two returned to the capital, the news spread immediately!
Two months later, Wang Cheng, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared at the top of the popular news lists on major social platforms.
“According to insider information, Wang Cheng will sing two new songs on the Spring Festival Gala stage.”
“Blessed are the fans, Wang Cheng is going to sing a new song!”
“This year’s Spring Festival Gala is the Spring Festival Gala performance that I am most looking forward to in the past ten years!”
“Hurry up, Wang Cheng’s new song, I want to hear it even in my dreams, hurry up!”
“Woooooooooo, is there finally a new song?”
"Although, there have been a lot of good songs recently. The new songs by newcomers such as Wen Yixiao and Du Wei are all very good, and many new songs released by older generation singers are also very good. However, what I am most looking forward to is Wang Cheng's new song. …”
“Wang Cheng’s new songs must be paid to download. I admit that I have never paid to download Wang Cheng’s previous songs. They were copied from others, but this time I will definitely pay to download Wang Cheng’s new songs.”
“What song, hurry up...”
…
It is a time when many fans and fans are very excited and looking forward to it.
The three major music platforms have all mobilized and contacted Wang Cheng. If Wang Cheng couldn't be contacted, they contacted Rubik's Cube Entertainment, hoping that Wang Cheng could publish his works on their own platforms.
Although Wang Cheng has previously published his works on the Penguin Music platform, Wang Cheng can change platforms at any time.
The other two major platforms have also spotted the opportunity and want to spend a lot of money to buy Wang Cheng's new songs and release them on their own platforms. Naturally, they dare not say they want to buy the copyright of Wang Cheng's songs. They just want to buy a launch platform and exclusive rights.
but…
The price also scared Shen Shenghui.
It was just a first release and exclusive, with no copyright or revenue involved. The price could be so high beyond his imagination.
Shen Shenghui quickly came to Qin Yuhai's office.
Qin Yuhai was on the phone when he saw Shen Shenghui coming in. He put down the phone and said, "About Wang Cheng's new song?"
Shen Shenghui said seriously: "Well! The three major platforms have all bid to buy the exclusive first release rights."
Qin Yuhai: "The chairman of the three platforms just contacted me, but I didn't agree to any of them. The pop music market has exploded recently, and the competition among the three platforms has become more intense. The two major platforms that were previously suppressed by Penguin Music took advantage of the recent pop music outbreak. The popularity of music has also taken off, a large amount of money has been raised, and the market value has skyrocketed. Now we have the capital to compete with Penguin Music."
Shen Shenghui nodded: "Yes, the battle for traffic in the music market has become fierce now. And Wang Cheng, the largest traffic, has always been hidden in the dark, and now it suddenly appears, the three companies will definitely not let it go!"
Qin Yuhai: “What price do they offer?”
Shen Shenghui handed the three-part document to Qin Yuhai.
Qin Yuhai took it over and looked at it. His eyes widened and he asked in shock: "At this price, is it just for the exclusive right to launch? Doesn't it involve copyright income?"
