There was no good news from Japan and the United States, but Western Europe brought quite a surprise to Li Jianhui.
After discussions in Duolun, Jiayi finally reached a release agreement with major theater chains in England, France, Italy, and West Germany.
In terms of box office share, in the first week, Jiayi has seven theaters with three lines, in the second week, Jiayi has six theaters with four, in the third week Jiayi and theaters have five and five, in the fourth week, Jiayi has four theaters with six, and in the fifth week, Jiayi has three theaters with seven.
If there is a sixth week or even longer, Jiayi Second Theater will have eight.
Such a sharing model is relatively recognized by both parties, and both the publisher and the theaters feel that it is not a loss.
The theater chain has an autonomy here, that is, once the occupancy rate falls below 50%, the theater chain has the right to reduce the number of screenings. If the occupancy rate falls below 20%, the theater chain has the right to cancel the screening.
Such an attendance rate may be acceptable in a few decades, but in this era, if it is less than 20%, it can basically be released directly.
Despite this good start, Li Jianhui secretly ordered Zhou Pengfei to speed up the theater layout in Western Europe.
At that time, the Golden Princess Cinemas will dominate the Asian market, and the Blue Maple Cinemas in Western Europe, the American and Asian Cinemas in North America, and the support of Wheelock Cinemas will allow the films of Jiayi and its allies to enter the global market.
Major movie markets.
August has arrived in the blink of an eye. If you want to ask who is the most popular person in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, it must be Wang Jie. One month after the release of his first album, it has reached double platinum in Hong Kong. Relying on the huge channels of Xin Jian Department,
The total sales volume in July exceeded one million, and his singing voice can be heard in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Japan.
The release of A Better Tomorrow has greatly increased his reputation. Although in Li Jianhui's opinion, this version of Ponyboy is not as classic as the previous version, this does not hinder the popularity of A Better Man in Asia.
The box office in Hong Kong exceeded HK$5 million in its first week, beating out Speed and The Killer, which were released in June. Even Cannonball Speed, which was released on the same day, was far behind.
The Mandarin album Tears of Heroes, released on August 1, was also very popular. In a place like Hong Kong where Cantonese is popular, the sales volume in the first week still exceeded 50,000 copies, reaching the platinum standard in Hong Kong.
The sales volume in Baodao reached an astonishing over 110,000 copies, which shows Baodao’s love for Wang Jie’s Mandarin album.
The hero in it, Annie, has even landed in the top ten of Baodao music charts.
In just over two months, he who was once only famous for his good Chinese voice suddenly became a popular superstar in Xiangjiang Island.
The name of Jiayi's No. 1 Brother has spread like wildfire. Even though Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye, Hua Tsai, etc. all had good reputations before, this summer belongs to Wang Jie.
Countless singers never achieve platinum status in their lifetime. Wang Jie's first album achieved double platinum status. Many people feel proud to have one platinum album in their lifetime. However, Wang Jie released two albums, both of which went platinum, and both of them were
Albums in different languages.
It is very difficult for Cantonese to obtain platinum albums in Hong Kong, and it is even more difficult for Mandarin to obtain platinum albums.
And Wang Jie captured the hearts of fans in Hong Kong with several classic songs such as "Hero's Tears", "Annie" and "Her Back". Even if it was only in Mandarin, it was still a big hit in Hong Kong.
On the Xiangjiang music song list in August, Wang Jie’s Who Knows the Prodigal’s Heart, Tears of Heroes, Love in the Past, Somewhat Sad, Somewhat Infatuated, maybe five of them entered the top ten, and one person has half of them, among which Who Knows the Prodigal’s Heart and
Heroic Tears even occupied the top two spots, which shows its popularity.
Back then, the love continued to rise on the song charts due to the popularity of the hero. It also boosted the sales of Wang Jie's first album, Who Knows the Prodigal's Heart? It is now not far from becoming triple platinum in Hong Kong.
This is because the Cantonese version of Annie is possible, which has slightly affected Annie's song rankings, otherwise Wang Jie would probably account for six out of ten.
The major record companies can only sigh helplessly at Wang Jie who is at the height of his popularity. They also admit that Wang Jie's musical and singing talents are indeed excellent, but the reason why he is so popular seems to be mainly because of the songs themselves.
Speaking of which, most Cantonese lyricists and composers are in PolyGram and Huaxing Records, while Jiayi has more Mandarin masters.
But this time Wang Jie's several classic Cantonese songs made them have to give a thumbs up, but the strange thing is that no matter who understands the prodigal heart, or the love and sadness in the past, or the infatuation, the lyricist actually
It's a fine art.
This is not a personal name, but represents Jiayi Group, which means that the lyricist of these songs is the company, not a certain individual.
But is this possible? Song lyrics are not like a company developing a technology, which requires multiple people to work together.
The lyrics of a song are usually written by one person, but it is a very special situation for two people to write it, which is very rare.
They also conducted many investigations to find out who the lyricists of these songs were, and their efforts paid off, and they actually got some information.
But this answer made them think that God was joking with them. The lyricist was actually Li Jianhui, and even the composition was credited to Li Jianhui. It was rumored that Li Jianhui sang these songs to Wang Jie.
Although they know that Li Jianhui is a monster, he is very talented in novel writing, business management, game creativity, variety show creativity, movie creativity and other talents.
But now that they have another talent for music creation, it is still hard for them to accept it. How can one person be so proficient in all aspects?
In this regard, these people really overestimated Li Jianhui. Although he had some past life memories, it was not a USB flash drive, and he could not recall anything too detailed.
Whether he was in a good mood at that time, he was still a little sad or a little crazy, he could only remember a few familiar lyrics, and a large part of the lyrics were added by Jiayi's lyricists.
If someone came here in the past life, they would definitely find that the feelings and sadness and infatuation in this life are very different from those in the previous life.
Li Jianhui doesn't care about the butterfly effect now, as long as it can be used for himself. He is not a person who insists on pursuing the classics of his previous life.
Just like the true character of a hero, he knew very well in his heart that Fa Ge would be the leading actor in order to be in line with the classics of his previous life, but unfortunately Fa Ge was an artist from TVB, so it was impossible for him to find Fa Ge.
Because of Li Jianhui's arrival, many developments in Xiangjiang will be very different in the future. Those superstars in the past life may be corporate executives or even just unknown housewives in this life.
There will also be some people who have not been heard of in previous lives, but are superstars.
Just like June's "Integrity", there was absolutely no such movie in the previous life, but it appeared because of his influence, and June's Hong Kong box office was second only to Speed and The Killer.
Several of its leading actors are also quite unfamiliar. Among the well-known artists in Hong Kong in the past, their names definitely did not exist. However, with the Far East Film and Television Media Group as their backer and the main promoters of the group, there will definitely be a place for them in Hong Kong in the future.
