Chapter 179 "Ip Man" (5/5)

Liu Yifei's new album "0" has been released.

Dafa's marketing and channels are full, giving the fairy sister enough face.

Liu Yifei's special album to commemorate her 0th birthday, and director Cheng Yu'an escorted her throughout the entire process - at least that's what Dafa's propaganda says - and the gimmicks went straight to the top.

The album "0" sold 170,000 copies in the first week, which shocked the industry!

Although Liu Yifei has released albums before, she is still a newcomer in the music industry. Most people know that her songs are purely for fun.

These days, it's very common to perform while performing and then sing. As you perform, you release an album or EP. Speaking of which, it's also a diversified development.

The current first-week sales of 170,000 people say that the album "0" is of high quality. Those who don't know or pretend to be confused and don't want to admit Liu Yifei just say that the fans of the fairy sister have strong spending power and Dafa marketing is good.

Don’t even look at the 10 songs Cheng Yuan gave Liu Yifei:

"Little Lucky"

"more grown, more lonely"

"Crescent Bay"

"Light Like the First"

"fairytale town"

"Stars and Sea"

"To You Who Are Too Late"

In addition to the seven Mandarin songs, there are three English songs:

"Call me maybe" (original song by Crouching Girl)

"love story" (Song of Taylor Swift)

"Home" (Wang Shi'an's song)

Which song isn’t the hit enough?

Faced with this sales volume, Liu Yifei and Liu's mother felt a little overwhelmed.

We all know that the record industry is in a slump right now, so selling 50,000 or 60,000 pieces is considered pretty good.

Liu Yifei's new album sold 170,000 copies in the first week. Both mother and daughter began to dream about whether they could make a platinum album with sales exceeding one million!

Do you know who else is the happiest besides Dafa, Liu Yifei and her daughter?

Huayi!

Liu Yifei is the artist they have decided to sign, otherwise why would "The King of Kung Fu" be given to her?

Now that the album is selling so well, Huayi wants to advance the previously agreed signing time. Previously, it was said that the two companies would sign the contract after "The King of Kung Fu" is released.

Now Huayi can't wait any longer. "0" is very likely to go platinum, so it's a good time to officially announce Liu Yifei's contract with Huayi.

Of course, the gimmick of "The King of Kung Fu" is definitely bigger than that of "0", but it is better to sign early to avoid long nights and dreams.

After the sales of "0" were announced, Huayi kept urging Liu's mother to sign the contract, but Liu Xiaoli only said that as previously agreed, the contract would be signed after "The King of Kung Fu" was released, and did not agree to sign the contract now at all.

I don't know what her intention was.

Due to the popularity of her new album, Liu Yifei's schedule was very full. In the past few days since Cheng Yu'an returned to China, she had always wanted to see him, but she had been unable to spare the time.

I could only contact him through phone calls and text messages, saying thank you very much to my senior brother for writing this album for her.

At this time, Cheng Yu'an was on Hong Kong Island, negotiating with Jiahe together with Cheng Lingfeng.

The battle lines of this transaction will be very long. After all, Jiahe is a company listed on the Hong Kong stock market. Many companies are participating in this transaction, and the amount involved is relatively large.

This time, the two aunts and nephews negotiated in the capacity of Yuanqiu Pictures. There are three companies that provided funds for this merger: Yuanqiu Pictures (Remote Media, Qiushi Group), China Film Group, and China Construction Bank.

There is no way, such a big merger and acquisition must involve China Film and Bank, otherwise Yuan Yuan and Qiushi Group may not be able to absorb it.

Facts have proved that Cheng Yuan is still very popular in Hong Kong Island.

Both of them are remote bosses, but Cheng Yuan is obviously much more famous than Cheng Lingfeng.

This time, Cheng Yuan was mainly involved in lobbying for mergers and acquisitions.

When it comes to Dadi Cinema's involvement in Jiahe, Cheng Yu'an can still think of it. After all, Dadi's focus in the past two years has been in the south, and acquiring Jiahe can well enrich its strength.

But what’s going on when Pacific Cinemas comes to take part?

You, the Sichuan Film Company, reached out to Jiahe before your own base camp was well managed?

This merger and acquisition case was very troublesome. Cheng Yu'an talked with Jiahe's representatives for a whole day but failed to meet Zou Wenhuai.

But Cheng Yu'an was very proud, and the representative promised to show Yuan Qiu's plan and qualifications to Zou Wenhuai, but he didn't know whether what he said was true or false.

After a day of negotiations, Cheng Yu'an couldn't rest. He had other things to do when he came to Hong Kong Island.

He made an appointment with Zhen Zhu.

Having been in the film and television industry for two generations, he understands one thing very well: it is extremely childish to talk about love and hatred here. This industry is actually very simple, with only one thing left - interests!

It was impossible not to fight back when Huang Baiming told him, but he had to listen to the higher-ups asking him to take the overall situation into consideration, so Cheng Yuan's choice was to steal his most successful project in the new century: the "Ip Man" series.

He had already written the script, and just came to Hong Kong to talk about the project.

Cheng Yu'an thought about changing Zhen's bullet, but when he thought about it, it was not necessary. Ip Man's performance was quite good and there was no thunder.

Zhen Zi and others were somewhat flattered by Cheng Yuan's invitation.

Previously, he was more active behind the scenes as an action director. As an actor, he has not done very well in recent years. Although "Seven Swords", "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "The Fuse" were all hits, he has never really been able to make it to the front line.

I also thought about going north, but I never found a good opportunity.

Remote Media is a major film and television center in the Mainland, and Cheng Yu'an is in the limelight. Donnie Yen could not think of any reason to refuse his invitation.

"Director Cheng, I'm sorry for being late." Zhen Zhuzhu left his assistant and manager outside and came in alone.

The meeting place was in the coffee shop of Cheng Yuan's hotel.

"Do

"ie, sit." Hong Kong Islanders are accustomed to calling people by their English names.

Action actors are generally not high, Jackie Chan, Li Lianlian, Wu Jing, and Zhen Yan are not high. Zhao Wenzhuo, who is 176, is considered the tallest among them.

Zhen only has 170 to put on shoes.

Zhen Zizi had the confidence and boldness of a martial arts practitioner. He sat with his legs crossed in front of Cheng Yuan.

He first smiled and said: "I have heard of Director Cheng's name for a long time. I was in such a hurry at the Academy Awards that I didn't even have a proper chat."

"There are plenty of opportunities." Cheng Yu'an smiled.

"Of course. I originally wanted to interview Pang Yong for "Painted Skin", but you decided the role too quickly. Before I even got on the plane, you released the starring list." Zhen Zhuan smiled bitterly, he knew that he was an actor.

He was very weak, so I never thought I could play Wang Sheng.

"Do

"Ie, I have a show here for you." Cheng Yu'an got straight to the point.

Zhen Zhuan did not agree immediately: "Can I read the script?" He is now very cautious in choosing roles.

Cheng Yuan only agreed to show him the 10,000-word outline.

Zhen Zhuan read the outline very carefully, and he could tell that "Ip Man" was different from his previous books.

The previous book, how should I put it, was very stingy and the layout was not open.

It's all about gang fights and street fights.

But "Ip Man" is different. It brings hatred between the country and the family, and the situation becomes bigger at once.

As a martial arts practitioner, of course he knew about Ip Man. He knew that Ip Man's life was actually not as legendary as the script said. It was true that he opened a gym to recruit disciples. He didn't know whether he fought against the Japanese or not. As for the matter of diverting to Hong Kong Island,

Ye Wen did something a bit unkind. We will talk about this in detail later.

"I like the story very much." Zhen Zhuan's words basically sealed the role.
