What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer? Chapter 488: Its already difficult to break through, so I switched to a new type of drama
Chapter 488: Its already difficult to break through, so I switched to a new type of drama
Kong Cheng's new album sold more than 700,000 copies within the first hour of its release.
Although this result includes the 300,000 pre-orders, it is still quite terrifying.
The most important thing is that Kong Cheng is still only a first-line singer, and his album sales performance is almost at the level of a stable singer.
In addition, almost all netizens on the Internet are discussing this album at this time.
If it were some other singers, even if it was a popular album, there would probably only be one or two songs that would be the focus of discussion.
Even if the quality of some other songs is good, only a few people will like it.
Although so far, there is still no clear concept about the so-called market and audience taste.
But there will always be some songs that can attract the vast majority of the audience.
Kong Cheng's album has a different situation, that is, although netizens are discussing it, many people actually like each song.
That is to say, although there is a so-called title song, in fact, every song in the entire album may be of the quality of the album's flagship if placed by other singers.
...
"Actually, this song "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" is more to my liking, but the other songs are also good."
"Compared with Kong Cheng's previous song "Ideal", "Ideal Thirty" is completely different in style, but the quality of both songs is not low."
"'My Deskmate' almost made me cry. It's almost ten years ago. I'm attending my first love's wedding next month. This song is so suitable for the occasion."
"I like the songs in the entire album. Although it is a folk album, it makes me, a listener who is not very interested in folk songs, like it very much."
"Xu Ji is indeed the best guarantee. With these songs, I feel that Kong Cheng has great hope of becoming the king of singers!"
Putting aside the discussions related to the entire album, after listening to these ten songs, many people are very keenly aware that Kong Cheng is likely to be a strong contender for the best male singer in this year's Moon Night Sonata.
Previously, many media speculated that Xu Ji suddenly spared so much time and energy to plan such an album for Kong Cheng.
It's obviously to promote the other party to the position of king of singers.
At that time, some people thought it was a bit outrageous. After all, the King of Singing is not someone who can be praised by others.
This seems too unrealistic.
But now, the authenticity of this speculation has been recognized by many people, including some industry practitioners.
They know better than ordinary netizens how good Kong Cheng's album is.
...
"It's a pity. The sales volume on the first day almost exceeded one million."
In Chengdu, the four members of the Scream band looked at the real-time data of Kong Cheng's album sales and couldn't help but say.
However, unlike the four others, Kong Cheng himself was quite satisfied with this.
It was even said that it completely exceeded his own expectations.
Of course, it can be considered that with the help of the boss, I did not hold back.
Otherwise, Xu Ji was responsible for the entire album, and it would be unjustifiable if sales could not increase.
However, Kong Cheng didn't worry too much after getting the songs from Xu Ji's album.
After all, Kong Cheng is different now than he was back then. He is at least a top first-line singer and will no longer be so unsure of himself.
"The next step is to prepare for a concert tour."
"I don't care about the rest, you have to make time for me."
Kong Cheng looked at the four members of the Screaming Band and said.
Although he has been in the entertainment industry for several years and knows a lot of singers in the industry, the ones who can be said to have good connections are still a few people from Tongji's own company.
Unlike other companies, the so-called competition of Tongji Entertainment basically does not exist.
Naturally, they formed a relatively deep friendship with each other.
"Don't worry, you've reminded me several times."
"We've postponed some of the later shows."
Xu Zhize, the lead singer of the Scream band, answered with a smile.
"However, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to invite two bosses."
Hearing Xu Zhize's words, Kong Cheng replied with a smile:
"Actually, the boss and others have already agreed."
The two people were naturally referring to Xu Ji and Sha Yetong.
Kong Cheng's new album has just been released, and according to tradition, a nationwide concert tour will follow.
Kong Cheng, the guest candidate for his own concert, has already been decided.
In addition to some close friends in his circle, the main guests were naturally Tongji's colleagues.
It also includes the two bosses Xu Ji and Sha Yetong.
Sha Yetong's words are fine, he will definitely agree.
But Xu Ji's identity as a singer is not very obvious, and he is busy with many things including movies.
Kong Cheng actually didn't have much hope in being able to invite Xu Ji.
I didn't expect that the other party would agree so simply.
It actually made Kong Cheng quite happy.
...
As for Xu Ji, apart from focusing on the post-production of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" during this period, the rest of his energy was focused on the new drama script he wrote for his director.
Of course, actually writing the script itself doesn’t cost much.
The only problem is that he is actually not sure what kind of new drama he should choose.
An overwhelming amount of time is spent on selecting the themes and types of new dramas.
Finally it was decided.
"Director Xu, we are here."
At this time, in Xu Ji's office, Qi Wen and Zeng Ying rushed over immediately after receiving the news from Xu Ji.
Especially Qi Wen, because she has been resting since "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was broadcast.
It was okay at the beginning and I really enjoyed my vacation time.
But as time went by, Qi Wen began to feel that the holiday life was too boring.
So I mentioned it to Xu Ji several times in succession, both openly and secretly, about the new script.
However, this process lasted for a long time.
At the beginning, Qi Wen was not as shameless as Pang Er, and just made a few simple remarks.
But later, after discovering that Xu Ji had no latest progress at all, he simply resorted to the stalking tactics that everyone at Tongji Entertainment is good at.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that the filming of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is over, Xu Ji has returned to Chengdu as a director, and Qi Wen's long-awaited new script finally has a clue.
.
...
"Actually, to tell you the truth, the previous "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Wulin Gaiden" are almost the same type of dramas. I was able to write the best scripts."
"If we continue with the same theme, it will be difficult to make new breakthroughs."
After Xu Ji finished speaking, he was vaccinated in advance.
After all, the theme of the new drama given to the two this time is not the previous palace battles and sitcoms.
Of course, Qi Wen and Zeng Ying were obviously not too surprised by what Xu Ji said.
After all, as directors under Tongji Entertainment, everyone has actually gotten used to it a long time ago.
That means Xu Ji will most likely not write two scripts with the same theme in a row.
So when the two approached Xu Ji for a script, they were ready to try new themes.
The two people's qualifications are not short. Even if they did not direct a single drama before, they also filmed many dramas with various themes.
Therefore, I don’t say that I have complete control over dramas of various themes, but I am also confident that I can make them well.
"Qi Wen, your last "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was considered a palace drama, and most of the audience was female."
"Actually, the new drama script I gave you this time is of the same type, but the main audience has become male viewers."
"I call him a Machiavellian drama."
"Of course, even though I say this, it should be able to attract some female viewers."
As Xu Ji spoke, he handed over the script in his hand.
Qi Wen didn't speak, but reached out to take it with some excitement.
""Nirvana in Fire"?"
After reading out the name of the script in her hand, Qi Wen could clearly sense that this new drama should still be about ancient costumes.
"After you read the script, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. It's still the same old rule."
Xu Ji told him that the other party should be familiar with these things.
This is how I came about when I was filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
"By the way, if possible, I think you could consider Ji Yiyang to audition for the lead role."
"Of course, the final choice of actor is still up to you."
"Just give me one final pass."
Xu Ji opened his mouth and added.
Ji Yiyang is still filming "Detective Chinatown 2". In fact, the schedule may conflict with "Nirvana in Fire".
However, the project of "Nirvana in Fire" has just been approved. If everything goes well, Ji Yiyang should be able to catch up when filming officially starts.
Of course, it's mainly because of Ji Yiyang's current acting skills, which have actually improved significantly.
But he still lacks a chance to truly prove his acting skills in one film.
Although the "Detective Chinatown" series is also good, it is actually more commercial in nature.
Even though Xu Ji has placed too much emphasis on some commercial elements, some advertising elements that are obviously inconsistent with it have been deleted as much as possible.
But the skeleton of the script is there and there is no way to change it.
Under such circumstances, allowing Ji Yiyang to star in "Nirvana in Fire" is also the best opportunity for Ji Yiyang himself to prove his acting skills.
Xu Ji still misses the old relationship.
Ji Yiyang is the first signed artist of Tongji Entertainment. If he is qualified, Xu Ji will not mind nepotism.
Obviously, Qi Wen, who is also a director, has no objection to Xu Ji's words.
In fact, she prefers actors who can express themselves.
In addition to the fact that the actor's own level is considered top-notch in the current entertainment industry, he also feels more familiar working with the actors from Tongji Entertainment.
He is from the same company and is considered an acquaintance. Basically, he was brought here by Xu Ji. There is almost no need for any adjustment to the overall working mode of the Tongji Entertainment crew.
The last factor is that Qi Wen actually hopes that the actor Tongji will star more.
In this case, it can be considered that the wealth does not flow to outsiders.
A drama as good as Tongji must not be cheapened by others.
Especially for some actors from other companies, their attitude during the audition is only so good.
But later on, because he was not signed by Tongji, he started to get angry online.
Although this situation is rare, it still exists.
Most of them are supporting roles that are pretty good.
For example, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has this problem.
...
"Director Xu, what about mine?"
After Qi Wen finished speaking, Zeng Ying asked impatiently.
Xu Ji didn't deliberately show off, and directly handed the other script on his desk to the other party.
"You may have some problems here. The style of this drama is a bit different from previous sitcoms such as "Wulin Gaiden"."
"Of course, the length of the entire series has been shortened by a large part. This time there are only twelve episodes."
"You have a lot of time to get every shot right."
"Of course, the most critical issue in the whole drama is actually the selection of actors. In this regard, I have given you some suggestions, which you can use as a reference."
When Zeng Ying listened to Xu Ji's words, he seemed very serious, for fear of missing any details.
Of course, Xu Ji didn't say much, just a few sentences.
After all, most of the details that needed attention, as well as many more things throughout the film, Xu Ji had already written them all into the script for the other party according to his previous habits.
"The Long Season"......
This is the title of the play that Zeng Ying saw on the cover of the script.
Xu Ji said that there are only twelve episodes. According to normal circumstances, the thickness of the script will definitely not be too thick.
But from the way Zeng Ying holds it in his hands, there must be a lot of content in the script.
Of course, Zeng Ying knew that in addition to the plot in the script, Director Xu's script also contained a large amount of content, including storyboards of various important shots and many points that needed attention, almost all of which were discussed in separate pages.
The content of this part is actually several times more than the script itself.
...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the two people who were flipping through the script, Xu Ji did not bother each other.
In fact, Xu Ji didn't have much to worry about Qi Wen.
After all, the other party has already directed two large-scale TV series in succession.
Moreover, the two dramas "Parental Love" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have very high requirements for the director to control the atmosphere of the camera and the details of the plot.
This time "Nirvana in Fire" can be considered a big project, but it is also within the scope of Qi Wen's expertise, so there should not be too many problems.
What really worried Xu Ji was Zeng Ying.
After all, the other party's previous film "Wulin Gaiden" was the first drama he was responsible for, and it was also a relatively special sitcom.
It is completely different from this "The Long Season", and it is also very different from the shooting style to various small details.
Therefore, Xu Ji has tried his best to be as detailed as possible in some notes on the script.
But even so, Xu Ji was still mentally prepared to contact Zeng Ying at any time to follow up on the progress of the entire drama.
...
Seeing that the two of them were completely immersed in the script, Xu Ji gave up his original plan of letting them take the script back to read.
Quietly exited his office.
At this time, Youman outside the door seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Sister Man, what's wrong?"
Xu Ji asked.
Youman opened his mouth and said:
"As I mentioned to you before, have you thought clearly about which drama will be broadcast on which platform?"
When Xu Ji heard this question, he had a headache for a while.
Because I only cooperated with G station before, I didn’t need to consider these things.
But now, because Kiwi has also joined in, it actually makes Xu Ji a little embarrassed.
