What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer? Chapter 483: 'I'm Not the God of Medicine' is wrapping up, with no sign of rest
Chapter 483: 'I'm Not the God of Medicine' is wrapping up, with no sign of rest
In fact, with the current box office performance and popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the development of a second film is only a certainty.
After all, the plot in the movie can be seen to have laid a lot of groundwork for the subsequent series.
But neither Martin nor the lead actor Kali Buehler expected Xu Ji's movements to be so fast.
It was as if preparations had already been made.
Even the best investor in Blue Star would not have such confidence.
It seems that from the time the first movie was approved, it was already planned that it would become a hit throughout Blue Star.
...
"The boss is really a god."
Kali Buehler said from the heart.
Although he has never met his boss, he has to say that just from Martin's description, there are abilities reflected in all aspects.
It was enough to make him feel admired.
At the same time, I am also somewhat fortunate that at least the company I joined is not as good as the eight major film studios in the United States.
But it has great development prospects.
And who can say for sure in the future, will Tongji Entertainment replace other film and television companies and become the new top eight?
"Do you need to pull down the media reports related to Paige Pictures?"
The assistant asked at this time.
Martin nodded.
"Now the overall situation has been decided. Paige's "Survival of the Doomsday" has lost money and has not run away."
"There is no need to put our movies together with each other to create gimmicks."
Culley Bueller was not surprised by Martin's attitude at this time.
Although the identity of Wesker's youngest son is not a secret.
But now in the Tongji Branch in the United States, basically everyone knows that Martin has no good impressions of his own company.
Cali Bueller still understands Martin's inner thoughts.
Although Paige is his family's company, Martin himself definitely doesn't have much affection for it.
After all, Martin himself had a bad reputation before, and even to Paige, he was just a guy who created negative news.
Now that he has the opportunity, Martin certainly hopes to prove himself.
Get rid of the influence of Paige Films and Wesker's sonship.
...
In its second week of release, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still strong at the box office across Blue Star.
Although it can't keep up with the single-day box office when it premiered, overall it shows an upward trend compared to the first week.
Many people predict that the final box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will reach at least 1.2 billion US dollars. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to enter the top 100 of Blue Star's box office.
Although such results are not a big deal to many netizens in China.
After all, Tong Ji and Xu Ji have always been good at creating incredible miracles.
From the perspective of the film and television industry here in the United States, it is still very shocking.
Although among the top 100 film and television box office, there are many Chinese films.
But like "Pirates of the Caribbean", this is the first Chinese movie that relies not entirely on China's domestic market, but on the entire Blue Star market.
At the same time, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been filming for more than a month after the new year, and it is finally completed.
In fact, the time was slightly delayed than expected. Xu Ji finally reshot a lot of scenes in many small details.
Such a situation would be time-consuming and labor-intensive for other directors, and investors may not agree easily.
But Xu Ji himself is the boss of the company, so he has very free authority over this kind of thing.
As for the movie's budget, it's actually not a big problem in the first place.
If it's not enough, just add more. What's more, Tongji's budget for each movie is basically the one with the highest budget.
Although it has been delayed for a long time, the overall budget has not been exceeded.
...
"Brother Kang, you really don't want to go to Rongcheng with us for a few days?"
The crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" had just finished dinner yesterday, and at this time everyone was basically preparing to leave.
Wan Rongli took the initiative to find Chen Kang and asked.
As actors who joined Tongji Entertainment later, this is actually the first time Wan Rongli and Chen Kang have collaborated.
But for the two of them, it was just their first time working together, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
The main reason is that both of them love acting, and there is not much difference in their acting skills, so they have a lot in common when acting opposite each other or communicating in daily life.
"It still doesn't work. I'll have to give it a chance next time."
Chen Kang politely declined.
Wan Rongli is still much younger than him, and now he devotes all his energy to performing.
Chen Kang had been in this state before, but now, as he gets older, he has slowly begun to have his own way of life.
Although Chen Kang is considered a drama addict, he is still able to separate his life and work.
In addition, Chen Kang himself loves to drink, but Wanrongli has already given up drinking. When he and he go to Chengdu, they will probably talk about acting.
"Well, I must go if I have the chance in the future."
Hearing Wan Rongli's words, Chen Kang smiled and nodded.
"There is definitely a chance."
Although Chen Kang is still an official actor, it has to be said that he is basically bound to Tongji Entertainment.
Since the original "Love Between Mountains and Seas", Chen Kang has basically been taking on Tongji's roles.
Guan Jian or Xu Ji wrote the script, and Chen Kang really had no reason to refuse.
So there is a high probability that the next part of the drama will still be Tongji’s drama.
He still goes to Chengdu very frequently, but he doesn't have to worry about not having the opportunity to meet other Tongji actors like Wan Rongli.
...
Xu Ji just returned to Rongcheng and was called by Youman to see Tongji's company building.
Although it has not been repaired yet, it is still just a wasteland.
But the relevant design drawings have been finalized.
With a total of more than thirty floors, it should be regarded as a landmark building in Chengdu after it is completed.
Of course, what is different from the three major entertainment company buildings is that the composition of the entire company department in Tongji is completely different.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The artist department has the smallest number of people, with only one floor.
And most of the time, it is estimated that Tongji's artists will not go there. Instead, there are quite a few rooms such as recording studios and singing practice rooms.
In addition, most of the floors in the company are dedicated to the film and television department.
After all, Tongji Entertainment is more like a film and television company than the three major entertainment companies.
Tongji even has dedicated departments for director, photography, props and other positions.
There are so many people that they are probably the only ones among all the film and television companies in China.
Moreover, it is entirely for Tongji’s film and television projects, with no other business like advertising at all.
There are actually many companies in China that can afford to support such a large-scale film and television team.
But Tongji Entertainment is the only one who is really willing to spend money to support her, and even the treatment is at the top level in the industry.
Of course, Youman had been a little worried before this point.
But as Tongji Entertainment's film and television projects became the largest source of income, Youman felt that Xu Ji's decision was very correct.
...
"I'm thinking, why don't I give up my office?"
Xu Ji looked at the design drawings given by Youman and suddenly said.
Youman looked a little helpless, but still objected directly:
"The boss of the company must have an office."
"Even if there's a chance you won't be able to stay for much longer than a year."
Xu Ji actually also thought about the problem of wasting space.
Of course, the most important thing is that his office occupies a separate floor and is very conspicuous.
I always feel that people will come and squat on him from time to time, unlike before when the company had so many offices.
I won't be able to run away by then.
Xu Ji just thought of this, and soon Youman's assistant came over.
"Manager You, Mr. Xu, Yu Li, Xu Yan, and Wang Yuhong are here."
"I seem to be looking for you, Mr. Xu."
Hearing this, Xu Ji was stunned.
Because Xu Ji and Youman were actually at the construction site at this time.
Unexpectedly, in this situation, Yu Li and the other two people could come directly to him.
Moreover, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was finished just the day before yesterday, and Xu Ji only arrived in Chengdu yesterday.
The other party's information is also a bit too well-informed.
"I feel like if they weren't afraid of disturbing you and Tongtong, the three of them would have gone looking for you yesterday."
Youman said with some gloating.
Needless to say, the three people came here for the purpose of asking Xu Ji for help in writing songs.
This is not the first time Xu Ji has faced such a situation, but he has already been used to it.
"Let them wait for a while, and we will talk about it later when we return to the company."
Xu Ji could only agree with some helplessness.
As a hands-off boss, he doesn't have to worry about company management issues, but he has no way to spare time in other aspects.
...
As Yu Li and the others got started, Xu Ji's original plan for a short vacation seemed to have come to nothing.
Xu Ji agreed to the trio's new song. Of course, writing the song didn't take much time.
But after all, unlike other singers from Tongji Entertainment, Yu Li and the others don't have much experience.
In addition to singing, Xu Ji will most likely have to pay attention to their daily singing practice and so on.
Xu Ji was temporarily fooled by the lack of inspiration.
On the other hand, due to the official broadcast of the two dramas "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Wulin Gaiden", two directors, Qi Wen and Zeng Ying, had asked Xu Ji several times about the scripts of their new dramas as early as last year.
At that time, Xu Ji had to be responsible for the Spring Festival Gala and the filming of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", so he had legitimate reasons to refuse.
But this time, there was obviously no way to escape.
Fortunately, the two directors can be considered old men of Tong Ji. As long as Xu Ji takes out the script, there won't be much for him to worry about in the future.
As for the script of the new drama, Xu Ji hasn't made up his mind yet.
After all, there are two dramas, one is the ceiling for palace dramas, and the other is the ceiling for sitcoms.
If it were to continue to be the same type of drama, there really wouldn't be a better choice.
Therefore, Xu Ji had to consider the abilities of the two directors, especially when changing the theme of the new drama, he still needed to make more considerations.
...
On the other hand, Kong Cheng's solo album has also entered the final stage.
After Xu Ji came back, he was asked by Kong Cheng to review it.
What I have to say is that although the songs were carefully selected by Xu Ji, Kong Cheng's own singing skills have indeed improved significantly in all aspects compared to before.
When Kong Cheng first signed with Tongji Entertainment, he had not studied music systematically.
So it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wild path.
Of course, because of its own storytelling voice, it is indeed very suitable for singing folk songs.
Xu Ji helped each other write several songs, and the final stage effects were quite good.
After two years of training on various stages, including the Spring Festival Gala, Kong Cheng's abilities in all aspects have been greatly improved.
Of course, although his singing skills have been improved, Kong Cheng still maintained his unique style under Xu Ji's reminder.
Including the singles Xu Ji has written for Kong Cheng intermittently over the years, they are all of the folk song type.
This album has a total of ten songs, all of which are folk songs.
As for Yu Feifei, who is also preparing for a new album, the current progress is slightly slower, although the recording of the entire album has also reached the final stage.
But it is estimated that it will take some time before it is officially released.
This is exactly in line with Youman's previous plan.
Both of them are top-tier singers, and they are top-ranked, popular, and have a lot of fans.
If they release albums at the same time, there will definitely be some competition between them.
They are all singers under Tongji Entertainment, so this is obviously not cost-effective.
It would be better to spread out the release times of the albums.
...
"There is generally no problem, but some details need to be changed a little..."
After Xu Ji listened to the entire album, he spoke.
He is very familiar with these songs in it.
After practicing for so long, Kong Cheng became very familiar with these new songs.
In Xu Ji's opinion, the performance of some songs was even better than the original ones in his mind.
But there are also some who always feel a bit worse.
There can be a better way of handling it.
Of course, since the album has not been released yet and it is not a live performance, the studio version has a lot of room for mistakes and changes.
Xu Ji wasn't too worried.
Considering Kong Cheng's current level, most of them are just minor problems that can be corrected.
"Then boss, do you want to postpone the release of the new album?"
Seeing Xu Ji shaking his head, Kong Cheng felt relieved.
Because it was originally planned that his new album would be officially promoted in advance soon.
If the album needs major revision and re-recording, then the promotion plan will definitely need to be postponed.
Although Kong Cheng doesn't care about this, after all, he has been preparing this album for so long.
I even turned down the opportunity to perform in the Spring Festival Gala for the sake of this album.
I definitely hope to release it as soon as possible.
And most importantly, Kong Cheng is actually only one short of a hit album so far.
If everything goes well, he is confident that after the release of this album, he will successfully become the first purely top-tier folk singer.
