Even on the way to Xiangjiang to visit the class, as an insider, Li Yaoqin is always keeping an eye on many developments in the industry.
When Lin Yi and Dong Jinlun's new albums were released and successively showed amazing sales, Li Yaoqin was not too shaken in her heart, because based on her understanding of the two newcomers, when she learned that Lin Yi and Dong Jinlun were both members of the Miracle Group
When the King of Heaven was a reserve seed player, she knew that any sales performance, no matter how outrageous, would not be surprising to these two people.
After all, the King Reserves under major top entertainment groups are not vegetarians.
They recruited talented artists from all over the country. Many people with amazing talents have appeared in the past, especially Han Sen's talent and potential.
Nowadays, two super newcomers have appeared in the Tianwang reserve team. In comparison, it is not surprising.
Moreover, although the album sales of these two people are excellent, they are not exaggerated. Compared with the original Han Sen, they are even less worth mentioning.
However, when Zong Qingzhen's new album was released and the sales data were exposed, Li Yaoqin couldn't sit still.
Sixty million!
To be exact, sixty-two million!
Although this sales volume is only half of that when Han Sen released his second album, it is already the highest for a female singer in the past ten years!
Even though Li Yaoqin won the Golden Deer Award for Best Female Singer last year and won the title of Queen of Heaven, her album sales were far behind Zong Qingzhen.
Even Han Xue, who had two songs by Han Sen, did not have such an amazing sales performance when she released her first album.
Going even further, even Clover did not have such horrific sales results when it debuted.
It can be said that this is the only young female singer in contemporary times who may threaten Han Sen's status.
"It's going to change."
Li Yaoqin walked out of the airport and got into a taxi. She looked out the window at the fading streets of Xiangjiang and felt trembling for a moment.
She seemed to be able to see the scene where super newcomer Zong Qingzhen was killing everyone at the year-end Golden Deer Award Ceremony.
Last year there was Han Sen, and this year there was Zong Qingzhen. The newcomers who have emerged in the music industry in the past two years are really fierce!
As soon as Li Yaoqin walked out of the airport, Zhang Hai also landed in Xiangjiang.
He also received the news that Zong Qingzhen's sales exceeded 60 million, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.
This is the result that he dreams of, and it can even be said to be the result that 99.9% of singers dream of. But such a result happened to Han Sen last year, and it happened again to Zong Qingzhen this year!
Zhang Hai couldn't figure out how Zong Qingzhen, who was so suppressed by Han Xue at the beginning of the year, suddenly rose to prominence in the second half of the year, without warning, and in just one day, the entire music world remembered it.
got her name.
"Zong Qingzhen..."
Zhang Hai recalled the scene when he accidentally met this young female singer when he was still in Weilai Entertainment. After all, he was a senior and did not show too much enthusiasm when facing newcomers. But when the other party saw him as a senior in the music industry, he
There was no intention of bowing to say hello at all.
In comparison, another newcomer, Feng Shaolun, seemed much more respectful. At that time, Peng Haofeng was obviously very optimistic about Feng Shaolun, and he successively let Feng Shaolun appear on many domestic variety shows. Among them, he also served as a regular guest in "Adventure King", and worked with Feng Shaolun.
Han Sen appeared together and was well received.
However, because the show often lacked Han Sen, the mainstay of ratings, "Adventure King" announced that it would stop broadcasting after only twelve episodes and would no longer be recorded.
But Feng Shaolun's popularity did not end with the suspension of the show "Adventure King". Because of his outstanding performance in variety shows, Feng Shaolun was successively invited as a regular guest in variety shows produced by major domestic satellite TV stations.
Although Feng Shaolun has not achieved very impressive results in the music industry, his performance in variety shows is remarkable, and he has now become a popular variety show star.
Although this is contrary to Peng Haofeng's original expectations and wishes for Feng Shaolun, it has finally brought good economic benefits and influence to Weilai Entertainment, so it can be regarded as another bright spot.
But Zong Qingzhen, who seemed quiet and even a bit cold in the company, has become the most shining superstar now.
This was something Zhang Hai never expected. Although he admitted that Zong Qingzhen was extremely beautiful and had a good voice, he still thought that Zong Qingzhen was not good enough to soar into the sky. But now it seems that he was wrong. He was very wrong.
.
Although this Zong Qingzhen is a college student who was recruited by Peng Haofeng halfway, and she is not from a major, her potential is obviously extraordinary, otherwise she would not have been signed by Peng Haofeng for millions. The first album is actually a big test.
It was successful, but not to the point of being astonishing.
After the release of this second album, I could no longer suppress it.
Tenglong's appearance is fully displayed. Although he cannot be compared with Hansen at this stage, Zong Qingzhen will definitely have a place in the award ceremonies of major music festivals this year. It can even be expected that in the future music scene, Zong Qingzhen's
The name will be something that many people cannot ignore.
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, it's getting old..."
Zhang Hai suddenly lost interest because he realized that times have changed. Even if he went to visit the class today and got Han Sen's songs, he still couldn't compare with a super newcomer like Zong Qingzhen.
However, it has come.
He still found friends in the industry in Hong Kong, and as soon as they landed, they went to visit the crew of "Kung Fu" together.
…
Han Sen didn't understand much about what was happening in the outside world. To be precise, he didn't understand anything at all.
Whether it's Lin Yi, Dong Jinlun or Zong Qingzhen, or his album sales of selected songs from his concerts, etc., Han Sen doesn't have much interest in knowing. Now he is completely focused on filming "Kung Fu"
On film.
The male protagonist he plays is a person with very distinctive personality traits. He is eloquent and good at talking. He longs to join the notorious Ax Gang, which is ruthless and ruthless, and dreams of becoming a jingle-dang figure in the underworld. However, his true nature
Kindness, coupled with a weak will, always accomplishes nothing.
During the filming process, Han Sen did not follow the original film. In that case, he would be like a walking zombie. It would be difficult not only for him to be involved, but also for the audience.
Therefore, he was thinking about this role all the time. During the increasingly tense shooting schedule, he kept asking the director and actors of the crew for advice on some acting skills.
Xiang Yihua has no plan for Han Sen's studiousness, and even appreciates it very much. He knows that Han Sen is not a major, and it is precisely because of this that he was able to play Han Sen in "Pawn Shop No. 8" in his first film
He played the leading role and gave a pretty good performance, which I highly appreciate.
Although I can't say that I was born to eat this kind of rice, I am definitely very smart, and many of the explanations are almost understandable.
Although Han Sen's performance surprised Xiang Yihua, it was not too surprising. After all, the plot and characters of the script were written by Han Sen himself. As a creator, Han Sen naturally has a clear understanding of the behavior of various characters.
His behavior and speech are all well integrated.
Xiang Yihua even had a feeling that if Han Sen knew how to shoot, he would not only be able to write his own scripts, but he might also be able to take selfies, direct and act in his own films.
Whenever this idea arises, Xiang Yihua feels a little creepy.
It is already very remarkable for a person to achieve top achievements in a field. For example, Han Sen's achievements in the music world are not to say unprecedented, but he is definitely the most popular king in the world.
However, Han Sen was not comfortable in one field for too long. After achieving absolute success in the music industry, he turned to filming.
The trial of "Pawn Shop No. 8" and the official investment of "Kung Fu" seemed to be very correct. At least in Xiang Yihua's view, with such a script, such a crew, and such actors, "Kung Fu"
Beautiful will hit the streets again, with a guaranteed global box office of at least 500 million.
If you dare to think a little more, it is possible to double the box office figures!
Therefore, the faster the filming progresses and the closer it is to the final moment, the warmer and more considerate Xiang Yihua's attitude towards Han Sen becomes.
Because he knew that Han Sen not only had great talent in writing songs and compositions, but also in writing scripts. From "Pawn Shop No. 8" to today's "Kung Fu", his script settings can be said to be all-round.
Wonderful.
And Xiang Yihua also knew that the real highlight was another movie starring Han Sen.
That movie is "Steel Horn", the work of great director Xu Weizhou.
The investment in the movie "Steel" alone was as high as 500 million. Just to create the prop model of the ship, a full 100 million was spent to achieve a true 1:1 model restoration.
This is simply crazy behavior.
After all, in the current Chinese film industry with advanced special effects, it is absolutely unprecedented and even unheard of to build such a behemoth with real scenes. However, in pursuit of realism, the crew of "Steel" actually restored the super ship from nearly a hundred years ago.
!
Coupled with Xu Weizhou's own superb directorial ability, as well as the popularity and box office appeal of the leading actors Han Sen and Tang Wu, it can be seen that "Steel Horn" is definitely a masterpiece.
When he thought of this, Xiang Yihua felt that investing 100 million in "Kung Fu" was a bit too petty. He once laughed at himself to his friends in the industry: "To make a movie now, if you don't invest 300 to 500 million, it won't feel like making a movie.
It’s about children playing house.”
Having said that, "Kung Fu" is the script he likes, so he is naturally looking forward to the final box office of the movie. He also has a hunch that in the near future, the movie "Kung Fu" will definitely give him
Brings great surprises.
And not just at the box office.
"Brother Sen, someone is looking for you!"
The crew here had just finished shooting a scene, and the steward on the set ran over and shouted something.
The plot of Pig Cage Walled City has been completed, and the original tenants have all ended their "vacations" one after another after more than a month and returned to their respective residences.
The crew of "Kung Fu" also moved around and started filming other plots in Xiangjiang Film and Television City.
Because it is a crew from mainland China, and there are super directors and superstars like Xiang Yihua and Han Sen, the crew of "Kung Fu" is treated very well in Xiangjiang Film and Television City, and it also attracts many Xiangjiang people to come here to watch.
.
During the filming process, there were screams and shouts, which temporarily interrupted the filming process of the crew. Although security personnel were dispatched to maintain order, there were still a few fans who suddenly cried and shouted in excitement when they saw Han Sen.
Call.
Xiangjiang Film and Television City itself is a 5A-level scenic spot. Many classic movie scenes were born here, so it attracts countless tourists from home and abroad. The crew of "Kung Fu" filmed here, so naturally there is no way to prevent other tourists from coming.
In order to save money, the crew could not book the entire scenic spot for filming, so in the end, the filming process was interrupted by voiceovers from time to time.
After careful consideration, in order to avoid crowds as much as possible, the crew of "Kung Fu" slightly modified the script and changed almost all plots to be shot at night.
Maybe it was done unintentionally.
After changing to night shooting, it greatly highlighted the characteristics of the neon city of Xiangjiang, giving the film "Kung Fu" a unique color to its picture quality.
Whenever night falls, thousands of neon signs light up, making the city's night sky and street corner scenery bright and vibrant.
This bright and confusing unique scene made Xiang Yihua feel as if the tone of the movie "Kung Fu" should be like this.
"It's three o'clock in the morning, and there's still someone visiting?"
Xiang Yihua was a little strange and looked up at Han Sen on the set.
Han Sen was obviously a little strange, so he said hello to Fatty Cong next to him, paused the shooting, took a rest, and then walked straight towards the scene.
In the standing narration, assistant Wang Kangcheng was already on standby. When Han Sen approached, he directly explained on behalf of the field manager: "Brother Sen, this is Li Yaoqin...and Zhang Hai!"
"Why are they here?" Han Sen was a little surprised, but he had a vague guess in his heart.
When "Kung Fu" first started filming, Wu Sheng asked him to take a song "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and left. Later, he vaguely learned from some channels that the sales of this song were good. It seemed that the success of this song was exciting.
These two?
Wang Kangcheng glanced at Han Sen and said with a smile: "It should be as you expected, Brother Sen. After all, Wu Sheng's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is now almost popular in Hong Kong. After all, Li Yaoqin is a diva-level singer. After signing the contract
I've just been silent, watching other people's popular songs one after another. Now it seems I can't stand the loneliness anymore. As for Zhang Hai, he probably has the same reason for coming."
Han Sen nodded and ordered Wang Kangcheng to get a late-night lunch box to fill his stomach. Before he took two steps, he looked up and saw Li Yaoqin and Zhang Hai standing side by side not far away in front. Even their expressions were very different.
They all looked eager to see through.
Han Sen is still wearing the costume in the play and has short, fluffy hair. If it is not pointed out specifically, others will not be able to tell Han Sen's true identity. Even if all the members of the Jinghong band, who have been together day and night, are standing in front of them, they may not be able to tell.
