Chapter 199: Collaboration 98 Years of Song Income and Criticism
Chapter 199 Cooperation, song income and criticism in 1998
Lao Li is not from Beijing Film Studio, he is from Changchun Film Studio.
Before "Born Out of the Sky", Lao Li had starred in many movies and TV series. In addition, his achievements in the field of drama were also pretty good.
But these achievements naturally pale in comparison to starring in a tribute film such as "Born Out of the Sky".
In this era, as an actor within the system, the weight of participating in a gift film is almost the same as that of later generations of actors participating in Lao Mouzi or Xingye movies.
Therefore, "The World" was suddenly suspended, and Lao Li was naturally not in a good mood.
Before receiving any new notification, he had no choice but to return to Changchun in a melancholy mood.
Lao Li was not in a good mood, and Jiang Yan was actually in a normal mood.
At least the movie was suspended and his mushroom dream had to be put on hold.
In addition, he can't get skills.
The role of "Intellectual A" lasts for 20 days, but this role is an ensemble cast, so you have to perform 20 days of roles before you can get the skills.
According to the original plan, he would be able to obtain the skills in the summer, but now, it has to be postponed for another six months.
Fortunately, he didn't record the script, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make any progress until the movie started again.
So the two men, neither of whom were in a good mood, started drinking.
"Lao Li, come here, I'll do it."
"Well, Zi Liu~"
Lao Li also picked up the small cup and took a sip.
After drinking it, he sighed, "It's good if it's gone. At least I don't have to control my diet. I've been craving for it this month."
As he spoke, Lao Li took a large piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
During this period, Lao Li was actually not fat, and was even a little thin.
However, for "Born Out of the Sky", he still set a goal for himself, that is, his cheeks should be thin enough to be slightly sunken.
The weight loss methods in this era are actually very crude, and it just means you are hungry, so Lao Li has suffered a lot this month.
But that's okay. Jiang Yan was originally worried whether Li Yunlong would be too thin to play Li Yunlong with an image like Lao Li.
But after seeing how dedicated Lao Li is, if I give him an order to gain weight in the future, I guess he can complete it with quality and quantity.
So next, Jiang Yan told Lao Li the story of Li Yunlong.
He is full of foul language, a genius in fighting, makes as many mistakes as he makes merit, and has a down-to-earth image...
Lao Li was very interested when he heard it, but he also hesitated.
After all, this image of an Eighth Route Army officer has never appeared on the market. Will the audience like it?
Going a step further, can this film be made?
Jiang Yan is still a little worried about whether the film can be made, but will the audience like it?
"Let me just say this, this image is top-notch in the eyes of those born in 2000!" Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"Post-00s generation?" Lao Li immediately smiled and shook his head and said, "Now that the post-80s generation has just grown up, and the post-90s generation is still in kindergarten, you are talking about the post-00s generation. This is not how to comfort people, right?"
"Anyway, don't worry!"
Jiang Yan didn't explain much, picked up the wine glass and continued to toast.
"That's fine, as long as the employer allows it, I'll take it!" Lao Li said without any nonsense.
Jiang Yan was happy, but then he also said, "This film will probably start shooting next year at the earliest."
With that said, Jiang Yan explained the reason.
Firstly, he is quite busy, and secondly, he has to wait for the relaxation of TV drama management policies.
This is also very fast. Starting from the second half of this year, TV dramas will explode.
Of course, there is a third point that Jiang Yan did not mention, because the original work has not been published yet.
In addition, Jiang Yan originally thought about whether to wait until the market matured.
But in the end, thinking about it, he didn't consider the market, he just wanted to advance the progress, so why bother with so much.
If you really have to consider the market, "Bright Sword" can stand the test.
Moreover, the past two years have been the best years for TV series to create ratings records.
When it was broadcast in 2005, "Bright Sword" became a hit on the screen, with an average ratings of 11.42, a maximum of 13.7, and a share of 28.7.
The most important thing is to stay strong. Five years later, the cumulative replay count has reached 3,000 times; ten years later, "Bright Sword" can occasionally enter the top five in the ratings list.
How much growth would this data translate into in 2000?
Jiang Yan dare not say that it can exceed 70% of "Returning the Pearl", but it can be doubled or tripled.
Ten years later, Jiang Yan's record looks to be extremely shining.
In the end, the verbal promise was achieved.
Then the two drank for a while and then said goodbye to each other.
Lao Li has to go back to Changchun tomorrow.
And Jiang Yan still had to rehearse with those kids in Beijing for two days.
The fourth rehearsal has ended, and there are still two weeks left before the fifth rehearsal. Theoretically, Jiang Yan's program is still at risk of elimination, but Jiang Yan himself knows that the probability is zero, but the children do not
I know.
So as the backbone, Jiang Yan gave them some confidence.
...
Two days later, Jiang Yan finished the rehearsal and immediately went to Wheatfield Music.
Part of the profits from "Fairy Tale" and "DNA" came out, and he had to settle the accounts.
The "Fairy Tale" single was released on August 10th, and today, January 17th, it has been a total of more than five months, with sales of just over 1.8 million.
According to the 30-70 share ratio, deducting production and tax rates, Jiang Yan earns about 2 yuan per piece.
That's close to four million.
"DNA" has exceeded 3 million so far. Because it is a big album, it is more expensive than a single. So after calculation, Jiang Yan probably earns less than 5 yuan per album, which is more than 14 million.
So the total income after tax is 189 million.
This number is very high, and this is without accepting any commercial performances or endorsements.
In this way, it has exceeded the income of mainland star Yehenala this year. It can be said that he is the highest-paid mainland star in 1998.
Jiang Yan made more money, and Wheat Field also made more money.
However, from the wheat field's perspective, Jiang Yan was at a disadvantage.
After all, the production cost of "DNA" is too high, and Jiang Yan may still be losing money.
But they are not worried. According to Jiang Yan's current status, it is really not easy to make money.
So far, many people have sent invitations to Maitian.
The average appearance fee is almost one million.
Show your face, sing a song, ten minutes, one million.
No need to drink, just sing when you go and leave after singing.
With such good conditions, it’s just like picking up money.
It's a pity that Jiang Yan still refuses to accept it. This kind of practice is really the only one in the country!
But over time, some people will definitely be dissatisfied with Jiang Yan's simple and unpretentious style.
Especially after yesterday, the nominations for the Wanwan Golden Melody Awards and the Xiangjiang Jinge Golden Melody Awards were announced.
Criticisms from the mainland suddenly increased.
The big media won't say anything, but small media and some private companies that have been rejected are starting to express their opinions.
You won’t come to an appearance, I won’t pay a sky-high price, I won’t give you free money for an endorsement, and you won’t come to an award ceremony.
Why are you so awesome?
Do you feel invincible?
If you really want to be invincible, why didn't you get nominated for the Wanwan Golden Melody Awards and the Heung Kong Song Awards?
Just pretending!
This kind of custom in which one's own family does nothing wrong and only what others say is good is really good, which really makes people a little angry.
The editor-in-chief of "Entertainment Pioneer" and the editors-in-chief of the other two lurking newspapers noticed the trend and reported it to Jiang Yan immediately.
But not long after, several chief editors put down their phones and all raised the corners of their mouths.
