"The physical album sales of the "Sunshine" album exceeded 30,000 on the first day!"
"so tall?"
"Yes! If it had been last year, this album might have been able to compete with "Invisible Wings"!"
"..."
Huaxing.
The door in the office was pushed open.
Excited to see the first-day sales of Victoria Song’s new album “Sunshine”.
She seemed to be living in a dream, and when she handed the album sales to Zhou Yang, she still felt a little unreal.
I pinched the flesh on my arm repeatedly and felt the pain, then let out a long sigh of relief.
The Internet era has changed many things.
It can allow people to receive various new things more quickly, and it can also gradually eliminate many things in the era of information explosion.
In late 2006, with the rise of mp3 and mp4, and with the advent of color-screen music phones on the historical stage, the sales of physical albums have been hit repeatedly. Although they have experienced the prosperity of "Invisible Wings" and "Girl with Wings"
For a time, people thought that physical albums were revived again and had not yet weakened, but in the end, after the popularity subsided, they could not stop the advancing trend of the times, and their true colors were revealed.
someone said……
With the official arrival of the Internet era, physical albums have gradually been reduced to music derivatives.
Although tapes and music album CDs that used to be ubiquitous in various stalls are still on sale, they are far less than one-tenth of the glory days.
TV external players such as VCDs and DVDs are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history. By March 2007, the last DVD manufacturer in mainland China officially announced that it would stop producing related electrical appliances and announced its entry into the mobile phone industry. In the same month, more than 200 video stores nationwide
Officially closed...
After Zhou Yang saw the physical album sales of "Sunshine", he was a little unbelievable.
Unexpectedly, throughout this era...
Song Qianqian's "Sunshine" actually sold an astonishing 30,000 copies. Although it is not as good as the previous "Invisible Wings", everyone knows that the number of physical album stores is getting fewer and fewer year by year, and the volume is decreasing again and again.
"Mr. Zhou, I went to the market to see the audio and video product stores that were about to close down. Because of "Sunshine", they were once again surrounded by fans. That scene made me feel like I was back in 2004, when the Chinese music scene was at its peak.
That era!" Xu Mei couldn't hide the excitement in her voice, excitedly telling Zhou Yang about the grand event she saw in the market: "If the follow-up album can still be stable and its influence penetrates both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even Asia, Song Qianqian will
Maybe a queen like Fei Chen!"
Xu Mei once thought Cai Lin was the next queen.
Therefore, she has been working hard. Even if Cai Lin's album is fraudulent, and even if Cai Lin's character is very bad and her private life is very corrupt, she still wipes her butt conscientiously like a dog.
After all, the queen’s agent!
This resume is the highlight page that all agents dream of, and it is the absolute cornerstone for moving from a third-rate agent to a first-rate agent!
However……
No one could have imagined that Cai Lin's album would collapse in the middle and eventually become stagnant when it was about to break through the historic sales of 230,000 copies. Instead, the two little girls from h48 would take turns to rise, and even in the sluggish moment when the physical album was declining, it could actually sell
Such an astonishing sales volume is definitely a historic miracle.
Seeing Xu Mei's excitement, Zhou Yang was also happy for Song Qianqian.
Just when he was about to say something, his cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, my name is Guan Tong. We met once when Huaxing was reorganized for the first time..."
"Ah, hello, Director Guan."
"I have come to the mainland now. I will come to the company in about half an hour. Is it convenient for you now? I want to meet you!"
"convenient."
"okay!"
Zhou Yang hung up the phone and Guan Tong's appearance appeared in his mind.
Two years ago, when Zhou Yang came to Huaxing for a meeting after filming "Under the Mine", he met Guan Tong.
An Xiao has invested in three movies, one is Zhou Yilin's "Warring States", one is "Youth", and one is "Under the Mine".
And Guan Tong is the director of "Youth". This is her first film debut from an actress to a director.
In Zhou Yang's memory, although the movie "Youth" was not a hit at the box office, it still made the company a small profit.
Zhou Yang specially went to see this "Youth". Although the plot is very bland and there are no major ups and downs, the film is shot very delicately, making people unconsciously go back to those green years.
This kind of literary and fresh movie is destined not to become a hit, but it has a very high reputation. If the debut film can be made like this, it is definitely a big success.
Later, Huaxing encountered a new round of restructuring.
Zhou Yilin left Huaxing. Although Guan Tong was not considered to have left, he never appeared in Huaxing again. In more than a year, Zhou Yang did not hear that she had any new movies coming out.
How could she find herself?
Zhou Yang was a little confused.
"Mr. Zhou, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first?"
"Well, okay, by the way, Sister Xu Mei, I would like to ask if you know any domestic animation companies? Studios are also fine..."
"Ah?" Xu Mei was stunned. She didn't know why Zhou Yang suddenly asked this question. After a brief moment of confusion, she nodded subconsciously as if she had thought of something: "Yes, yes, I used to be an agent at Xinghui.
When I was young, I came into contact with some small studios, but most of the works were not very good..."
"It's okay, please collect it for me to see. If possible, I can come in contact with it myself..."
"OK!"
After Xu Mei left, Zhou Yang took a look at the script for "Infernal Affairs" and then took out another script.
After being silent for a long time, he wrote a name on the script "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year"
……………………
Guan Tong has not been to the mainland for more than a year.
There is no other reason, just laziness.
Although she is close to thirty-four, the years have not left any traces on her face. Instead, her face that does not look old has become more mature and charming. Walking on the road wearing a cheongsam, she will never look older.
There were countless obsessed eyes surrounding her.
"Youth" is the first film she directed.
For her, "Youth" was not considered a success. The filming techniques were too immature, which suited the literary and artistic style deep in her heart, but it did not have many commercial highlights.
Sometimes the market is like this...
You either have art or business, and few people can reach a perfect level in business and art.
For more than a year, in addition to writing scripts for new movies, she has been learning and reflecting on how to make new movies, and thinking about how to combine business with literature and art, so as not to appear stupid and achieve good box office results.
She watched a lot of movies about love, which even made her feel sick.
There are an endless stream of idol dramas and idol movies in Taiwan, especially at the beginning of this year, TV dramas that imitate Korean dramas such as "Escape", "Secret of the Angels" and "Autumn Love Song" appeared.
The scene where the vulgar Cinderella meets the rich and handsome, and the idiotic lines that make people's skin crawl after watching it, has once had high ratings and countless idiot fans.
After reading this...
Guan Tong finally vaguely grasped the routines of commercial idol movies.
There must be a handsome guy in the movie who can hold the scene. He doesn't have to have acting skills, but he must be handsome. At the same time, he must have box office appeal and a large fan base. No matter what shit the plot is, there will always be a large group of fans.
Come and pay.
After reaching this conclusion, Guan Tong began to look for the leading actor in his new movie.
However, her male lead is not easy to find.
First, he must be handsome, and he must be young and not just look handsome, but must have a thorough understanding of movies. Second, he must have acting skills without any sense of disobedience. Third, he must have box office appeal.
Her movie is not a simple idol movie, but an inspirational literary and artistic movie that is close to reality and truly expresses youth.
In fact.
After searching for nearly half a year, she couldn't find it.
There are a lot of young actors with good looks, and there are also a lot of actors with acting skills.
However, you said it fits both of these...
It simply can't be done.
If someone has good looks, why would he still have to think about his acting skills? Isn’t it good for him to rely on his looks to make a living?
As long as there are people who have acting skills, are actor-level figures, and are extremely handsome, how many of them are young?
"Sister, in "Sunshine", 30,000 copies of the poster of Zhou Yang and Song Qianqian's photo together were sold out. Someone specially cut out Song Qianqian's photo, leaving Zhou Yang's poster alone and pasted it on the wall..."
"Things are rare and valuable!"
"Zhou Yang has not officially printed any posters since his debut. The huge sales of the physical album "Sunshine" this time is inseparable from Zhou Yang's posters..."
"..."
Guan Tong listened as his assistant introduced the album "Sunshine" one by one.
She nodded and fell into deep thought.
"But...sister, Zhou Yang is a famous figure in the industry now, and he is a director himself. I'm afraid he won't be able to get it without tens of millions...The most important thing is that I don't know if he is interested in these movies. He seems to have no shortage of them."
Anything." After the assistant finished speaking, he glanced at Guan Tong hesitantly.
"Money is not a problem, but now that he may not be short of money, it is indeed a problem." Guan Tong looked out the window and fell into deep thought.
The excitement of finding the leading actor in a new movie instantly turned into calmness.
No one could have imagined that the shy and humble young man in the corner would become so terrifying a year later. Even Guan Tong felt vaguely stressed.
"By the way, you said that Zhou Yang and Song Qianqian almost kissed each other during this album. Why are there no scandals?"
After thinking about it for a long time, she seemed to think of something, and then looked at the assistant.
"ah?"
"Do you think this is abnormal? It seems that someone deliberately suppressed the scandal..." Guan Tong narrowed his eyes again.
"Sister, what do you mean..."
"Let's go, change direction!"
"Aren't we going to Huaxing?"
"No, I won't go. First, go to the relevant department to meet An Xiao... After she gets off work, ask her to have dinner with her."
