Jiang Yan's 2004 began with the song "The Great Wall".
"The Great Wall" is a song from "DNA5" released by Jiang Yan at the end of 2003.
The song comes from a parallel world. Its popularity is similar to "Unforgettable Tonight" and its conception is similar to "My Chinese Heart". Its popularity is not bad, and it is a song that is extremely suitable for singing on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
After "DNA5" was released, the Spring Festival Gala director team focused on this song. They believed that this song was too suitable for the "Father" originally submitted by Jiang Yan.
Of course, this does not mean that "Father" is not good, it just means that "Spring Festival" is more suitable for New Year's Eve.
Of course Jiang Yan would have no objection to this, and he didn't care whether doing so would break his tradition of singing new songs in the Spring Festival Gala.
After all, at his current level, it doesn't really matter whether he sings new songs in the Spring Festival Gala or not.
If fans are disappointed, it would be better if he works harder and releases one more album in the middle of the year.
What's more, "The Great Wall" really needs the last Spring Festival Gala to confirm its status.
This is indeed the case. After "The Great Wall" was sung on the Spring Festival Gala stage, this majestic "old song" was still remembered by countless people for the first time and received a lot of praise, no less than the "Blue and White Porcelain" the year before.
", which also makes "The Great Wall" the most outstanding piece of this year's Spring Festival Gala. At the same time, like "The Lonely Warrior", it has become a nationally included piece. From now on, Jiang Yan will have to report if he wants to sing in public...
The popularity of "The Great Wall" has not only benefited the general song-related benefits, but also affected the automobile industry.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, when Jiang Yan was visiting his eldest sister for New Year greetings, Jiang Yan received a call from Great Wall Motor Group.
The content of the call includes endorsements and related technical cooperation.
Obviously, people know about the relationship between Jiang Yan and Tesla.
The Tesla Group has now entered the second stage. Businesses such as mobile phones and screens have begun to expand from domestic to foreign countries. Other related technologies have also begun to accelerate their market share. In addition, the chip aspect has also begun to officially enter the manufacturing stage, striving to be ready by 2010.
, breaking through 28 nanometers.
In addition to these, Tesla's mission in the second phase is also the automotive business to prepare for the future automobile manufacturing industry.
Regarding Tesla cars, Jiang Yan divided them into two parts, one for military power and the other for civilian use.
In terms of civilian use, his plan is to develop both fuel and electric energy. On this basis, he will test new, more efficient and environmentally friendly new energy black technology engines to prepare for domestic new energy vehicles to dominate the world in the future.
This is also the reason why it is brought with military power. After all, military technology cannot be missed.
However, he would not dare to develop these things randomly unless the time was right.
Having said that, if we really have to start researching the above-mentioned technologies from scratch, it will take many years and tens of billions to spend, and we may not be able to complete them.
But for Jiang Yan, it's not difficult, it's nothing more than plucking.
And with Tesla's current strength, it is far easier for Jiang Yan to assemble new technologies now than at the beginning.
Therefore, a year ago, the first-generation Tesla 2.0-displacement civilian fuel engine with a new technical route was successfully formed in three months.
I won’t talk about the specific technical parameters. Anyway, the performance of the current generation can compete with the German competing products from 16 years later, and it also avoids the patent barriers of relevant leading companies now and in the future. It can be said that it has created a brand new product.
technical route.
In this way, the advantage is huge.
This lays a solid foundation for Tesla's future automotive products.
Not only the fuel engine, but also other technologies, Tesla is currently stepping up its "development". I believe it won't be long before the first Tesla car rolls off the assembly line smoothly.
Although such things are done very secretly at this stage, there are still ways for those who want to know.
For example, Great Wall Motors is one of them. After all, Tesla's first experimental engine production line was bought second-hand from others.
So when Great Wall Motors learned that Tesla was going to enter the automotive industry, it has been paying attention.
But this kind of attention is more like watching a joke.
After all, this is building cars, not playing house.
Tesla has made a lot of money selling mobile phones, but the money on cars is really going to be burned, and it is estimated that it will be burned out soon.
So Great Wall is focusing on Tesla's other businesses, such as batteries. They think that when Tesla takes too big a step and breaks its muscles, they try to get a piece of the pie.
As a result, the good news did not come, but shocking news came.
Through informants, they learned that Tesla had actually developed a powerful engine!
This kind of news is quite subversive in the automobile industry, and it is no less than the emergence of a domestic aircraft carrier electromagnetic ejection.
So after more confirmations, Great Wall officially called Jiang Yan, the big boss behind Tesla, on the third day of the Lunar New Year to seek cooperation.
Jiang Yan was actually not surprised by this phone call.
The news that Tesla has developed a powerful engine was actually released intentionally by Jiang Yan. Otherwise, why would Great Wall Motors be so anxious?
In fact, not only Great Wall Motors, but other companies were also anxious. It was just Jiang Yan's song "Great Wall" in which he named some names that made Great Wall Motors unable to sit still at first.
Jiang Yan certainly agreed with the cooperation sought by Great Wall Motors.
Technology, after all, is meant to serve the market.
So sometimes you can't hide it, otherwise it will be the same as the soup, and everyone will stop playing with you, so don't you have to stop eating?
Of course, Jiang Yan actually took practical issues into consideration when doing this.
After all, the automobile industry is not a small industry like mobile phones. If you really want to play in it, you really need a lot of money.
Therefore, using some rudimentary technologies in exchange for rapid growth is a business that Jiang Yan thinks is very reasonable.
Of course, Tesla's cooperation partners are naturally limited to domestic brands. As for how to discuss it specifically, that is Ms. Dong's business.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anyway, Tesla is very confident. No matter how we cooperate, it will not affect the launch of Tesla's first-generation model, which will crush all brands.
The days after the Spring Festival go by very quickly.
From February to May, Jiang Yan's daily time allocation was much busier than before.
Get up at 5 o'clock every morning, exercise, eat and then start working. At 10 o'clock in the evening, I coax the ladies to sleep, especially Sister Yu. Then around 12 o'clock, I start to enter the No. 3 warehouse for retreat, and then go to another world to review the day's work and gather skills.
, collecting various works, cool and unrestrained, until it is close to 5 o'clock, then return to reality and prepare to "get up", and then continue to repeat the cycle.
Sometimes Jiang Yan would go out to do group performances, visit classes, receive announcements, and brush up on his presence.
For example, on February 29, Jiang Yan went to Laos and won two Oscars.
They are Best Score and Best Original Song, both of which come from "Lord of the Rings 3".
This made Jiang Yan once again famous in the global music and film circles, and at the same time, it also brought enough pride to the people in China.
Of course, the most important thing is that with its 80 million investment in the "Lord of the Rings" series, Xingchenhai has made a total of nearly 500 million US dollars in box office and offline disc revenue.
This also allowed Jiang Yan to directly reach the top of the first domestic Forbes Celebrity List in 2004. He was also listed on the second Mainland Forbes Rich List, and occupied a high position.
Being on the Forbes rich list, sometimes this kind of fame can have much greater influence than simply being a star.
After all, this is the real evidence that you have money.
But what followed was more criticism.
Who said you are in the entertainment business? A group of people in industry are not as good as those in entertainment. Does this prove that there is something wrong with this country?
Although such remarks are rare and untenable, Jiang Yan still expressed his helplessness.
This is already the result of me finding a relationship at a minor level.
Do you want to know how much assets the top three in Forbes Mainland China Rich List have in 2004?
The Rong Zhijian family ranked first with $1.49 billion, the second was Gome Huang Guangyu with $1.3 billion, and the third was Chen Tianqiao with $1.276 billion.
As for Jiang Yan, this is just a small goal. After the past two years, the funds he currently owns have increased to no less than 3 billion US dollars. This is all his own money.
The key point is that this number remains the same every day, because domestic Internet companies are about to experience a huge explosion in market value, such as Alibaba, QQ, etc. In a few years, this number may increase dozens of times.
For example, NetEase's market value increased hundreds of times before 2009.
In addition to these, the valuation of Tesla Group is also a mystery. If Xingchenhai is listed, the valuation will also be a mystery.
There are also YouTube, Youtu, GoPro, Douban, and other companies that have not yet started to make efforts.
If all these were exposed and Jiang Yan's wealth jumped to tens of billions, many people would probably be scared to death...
After winning the Oscar, Jiang Yan continued to return to work, and under what outsiders saw as high-intensity work, various projects in Stars and Sea ran very smoothly.
On April 3, "Sword and Sword 1" was successfully completed after more than 4 months.
On May 6, the filming of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" was successfully completed after more than 4 months of filming.
On May 11, "Bright Sword" was successfully completed after 5 months and 17 days.
On April 8, "Baolian Lantern" will be launched.
On April 19th, "Wulin Gaiden" will be launched.
On May 20, "Initial D" will be launched...
A number of new TV drama projects are progressing smoothly.
At the same time, a number of old projects have also experienced market tests.
On March 20, the Spring Equinox, "Supreme Beauty" co-starred by the currently popular Jia Jingwen and Zhao Wenzhuo, was launched on Blue Channel, Xiangnan Channel, Jingcheng Channel, and Magic City Channel.
The premiere at this time is actually only a few months ahead of the original time and space.
And the results did not unexpectedly exceed the original time and space.
Once "Supreme Beauty" was aired, the ratings were extremely high, occupying the first position in all four provinces.
"Supreme Beauty" can be very popular and it can indeed capture the needs of the current audience.
First of all, the leading actors are very good-looking, and even the supporting characters are all handsome or beautiful.
Furthermore, both Alyssa Chia and Yang Tongshu have excellent acting skills.
Finally, the screenwriter has a rich imagination. She combines official history with unofficial history, and intersperses elements such as romantic love and palace battles, seeking to make the details real in fiction.
Many netizens on the Internet are interpreting "The Supreme Beauty" and believe that the villain Xu Yingying is Wu Meiniang's doppelgänger. She is a representative of the dark side of human nature and Wu Meiniang's inner demon. This interpretation is quite innovative. I wonder if the screenwriter thought so at the time.
.
Of course, the audience may pay more attention to the actors of "The Beauty" than the plot. At this time, Alyssa Chia is already 29 years old, but the way she puts on a white dance dress and dances in the air will definitely not let the audience forget
, as well as Xu Yingying's expression when she turned black, Qian Xiaoduo's last cry, Li Junxian's head of white hair, and Queen Wang's beautiful figure, each scene constitutes an indelible childhood memory.
Of course, there are topics and discussions, which made Jia Jingwen once again popular. At the same time, the show also suffered some criticism like the original time and space.
Because it is inconsistent with official history, many people have come out to criticize it. Some people say that the female lead Wu Meiniang is played by Alyssa Chia. She has a sweet appearance and a classical temperament. She is charming but not majestic.
To be honest, if you look at "The Supreme Beauty" from the perspective of a drama, then this drama is really a bit absurd.
But Xingchenhai defined "Supreme Beauty" as an idol drama-style palace drama from the very beginning.
Since this drama has been defined as an idol romance, the heroine must be kind and innocent, so Alyssa Chia is perfect for it.
In short, "The Most Beautiful Girl" is not a phenomenal hit drama, but it has achieved the achievements it should have, and the relevant public opinions are also within the controllable range. In this way, "The Most Beautiful Girl" has become the most popular drama in the first half of 2004.
The first dark horse to achieve great success.
The second TV series project that achieved great success in the first half of 2004 also appeared shortly after the premiere of "Supreme Beauty" and it was none other than the bearded "Dragon".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Compared to "Supreme Beauty", the level of "Dragon" is really high in the minds of the audience.
Produced by Yangshi, premiered by Yangshi, Jin Yong drama, big names from all walks of life gather together, bringing together a group of actors with both good looks and acting skills from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
As long as a drama like this is qualified, it won't worry about ratings.
The actual situation is indeed good. The highest ratings of Yangshi reached 5.69%. Although this data is still not phenomenal, it is better than the average expectation of the media.
So it is very natural that with Jin Yong's affirmation of Hu Jun's popularity, almost becoming the best "Qiao Feng" in history, Xiao Zhi's popularity in the mainland has also returned in a straight line and created subversion again. The other actors are also popular, among which the most popular
The one is "Sister Jiang Yan", Liu Qianqian who plays Wang Yuyan.
After the fire, Liu Qianqian's attention skyrocketed, and various commercial performances, interviews and other announcements came one after another. Of course, as an actress whose acting skills are not particularly outstanding and who relies on Jiang Yan to rise to the top, she will naturally suffer a lot of criticism.
Fortunately, Liu Qianqian strictly abides by Jiang Yan's warnings, is low-key, straightforward, and not eager to reap dividends. She appears more as a student and junior to the outside world. Coupled with the approval of Mr. Jin Yong, and Jiang Yan's disses from time to time,
As a result, Liu Qianqian captured a lot of fans, and the public criticism of Liu Qianqian quickly dropped to a controllable range.
Liu Qianqian is a big hit, and fans are looking forward to her next TV series "Sword and Sword 1".
However, compared to Liu Qianqian, everyone is naturally paying more attention to Jiang Yan's new project.
On June 1st, "Kung Fu Panda" was officially announced to be released on July 5th, and the story of "Q" was officially announced to be released on August 5th. In addition to these two films directed by Jiang Yan, there are guest appearances by Jiang Yan and
"Slaying the Wolf 2", written by Jiang Yan's good brother and played by Wu Jing, the mainland's new generation of martial arts star, has also been officially announced to be released on July 20.
The release of three Stars and Sea movies in one summer season not only entertained movie fans, but also made Lao Mouzi's new film "House of Flying Daggers" and a number of Hollywood movies entering this year's mainland summer season feel threatened.
It's just that this year's summer battle, Jiang Yan still can't attend the event in person.
Because this year is an Olympic year, Jiang Yan, who is the core of the national team, has already put on his uniform again in early June and started training for this year's world-famous showdown between China and the United States...
