This star is too fierce

Chapter 152, Wang Baoqiang

On March 3, Xu Wei's new album "Time Walk" was released.

It uses the traditional tape plus CD mode.

Inner Hong Kong and Taiwan all three places.

Video stores in major cities sell them.

The main battlefield is still the mainland.

Under Yu Feihong's planning, Lu Bu took Xu Wei to start the promotion in nine major cities across the country.

In the form of a signing event.

When they arrived in Hong Kong, celebrities such as Zhang Guorong, Louis Koo, Zhang Bozhi, Xie Tingfeng and others came to join them.

When they were in Baodao Province, Jia Jingwen, Jiao Anjun, Xiao Qiang, Wu Zongxian and others also attended to help out.

This battle is big enough.

Sales data came out a week later.

7 in the Mainland;

Xiangjiang 5;

6 in Baodao Province.

The sales of 18 copies may not seem like much, but compared to the sales of the top three albums of the year last year, it is already exaggerated.

In the era when singers Teresa Teng and Li Lingyu were popular in the last century, the albums were all genuine tapes and CDs, and the sales were astonishingly high.

By the 90s, when the four great kings were on fire, the sales of albums were also good, with millions of sales being very common.

However, since 2000, the prevalence of the Internet and the proliferation of pirated CDs have led to a precipitous decline in the sales of the physical record industry. Many musicians, producers and singers' career downturns are related to this.

Take this year as an example, one genuine CD and tape costs 10 yuan, and three pirated CDs and tapes cost 1 yuan.

Therefore, it sold 18 copies a week, which is very impressive, firmly sitting on the top spot in the album sales of mainland singers during the same period.

And now the big head is CRBT.

The title song "Blue Lotus" has been downloaded 50 times in a week.

Entertainment news from Hong Kong and Taiwan rushed to report.

[The rock poet "Xu Wei" has returned to the music scene, and the sales of the whole album are amazing! 】

["Blue Lotus" is so popular that it topped the music charts overnight! 】

[Lu Bu invited many friends and superstars in the circle to help promote it, and the artists under the Mengjiang Studio are treated so well! 】

For a while, people inside and outside the industry were discussing Xu Wei's new album.

In addition, Lu Bu's studio was also discussed.

"I always think that it is unwise for him not to join a big company with resources. It never happened that he can play well not only alone, but also with artists."

"It's something. A few days ago, they announced the news of signing Zeng Lai on the Sina forum. It seems that the ambition is not small."

"I'm still not optimistic. It's just a small fight, and it won't cause too much trouble."

Everyone has their own views on the purpose of Lu Bu's own studio and the future development trend.

At this time Yanjing, Huayi Brothers.

"He doesn't really want to enter the brokerage business?" Wang Zhonglei said with narrowed eyes.

"It's possible. I found out that he invested in the movie "Blind Well" and the TV series "Fengyun" and "Conquer" in the name of the studio." Wang Jinghua said some information she had just obtained.

"Currently, how many artists has his studio signed?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

"Faye Yu, Xu Wei, and Zeng Lai were announced." Wang Jinghua replied.

"Oh, there are actors and singers, but these few people can't make a name for themselves. Yu Feihong doesn't act in a few plays a year. Xu Wei is depressed by the sales of the first two albums. Although Zeng Lai is in Shuangbing Sidan But there are no good resources.” Wang Zhonglei already regarded Lu Bu’s studio as a competitor.

"You forgot one thing, as long as Lu Bu is around, there will be no lack of attention and resources." Wang Jinghua reminded.

indeed so.

Xu Wei has turned down more than a dozen commercials and endorsements in the past half month.

In fact, no one stipulates that folk or rock singers cannot shoot commercials or accept endorsements, and there has never been such a potential rule in the circle.

There are many ways to understand why they accept less or no endorsements.

It can be said that commercial endorsements are easily restricted, which is the most lethal reason.

It can also be said that realizing popularity is to a certain extent selling the soul and falling into material desires, which is completely different from the expression of folk spirit and rock spirit.

But in Lu Bu's view, as long as a gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way, folk and rock singers should not be poor.

And their creative mentality only needs to keep themselves and keep pure, and the spirit of folk songs and rock will not sink.

So after talking about this with Xu Wei, he chose to take over some commercial performances.

On March 3th and 28th, Lu Bu was invited to participate in the casting of "Blind Well" and "Conquer".

"It's getting late, it's time to get up."

"Let me sleep for a while."

"It's going to be late."

"It's all your fault. I've already showered and dried my hair, but you came in again."

"Didn't you let me in?"

"I just let you into the room."

……

After arguing with Lu Bu on the bed for a while, Yu Feihong got up, dressed and washed.

Lu Bu didn't start the war again because there was not enough time. Once the war started, it wouldn't be over in a few hours.

After breakfast, we arrived at the appointed place.

"Mr. Lu, Ms. Yu, these are the actors I have found so far, Wang Baoqiang, Li Yixiang, Wang Shuangbao, An Jing." The one who introduced the actors was Li Yang, the producer, director, and screenwriter of this movie.

He has decided on the leading role.

Inviting Lu Bu and Yu Feihong is just a formality, after all, their studio investment accounted for 50.00%.

"Hello."

Lu Bu and Yu Feihong greeted them one by one.

"Big Brother, Big Sister, I will definitely act well." Wang Baoqiang took the lead in expressing his attitude with a mouthful of Henan's unique Mandarin.

Lu Bu looked at him carefully. He was ordinary in appearance and not tall. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

But in fact, Wang Baoqiang is already 20 years old, and Li Yang found it from more than 1000 Beidiao.

"Have you acted before?" Faye Yu asked a very realistic question.

"Sister, have you ever worked as a group calculus?" Wang Baoqiang said, scratching the back of his head.

Yu Feihong looked at Lu Bu.

It doesn't feel very reliable.

How can I say that I cast 150 million, and that's it for the leading actors?

To be honest, Lu Bu is not a person who judges people by their appearance.

But after seeing these actors, in terms of their appearance, there seems to be nothing wrong with what Faye Yu said at the time, "Maybe they won't make money, but they will definitely win awards".

However, considering the subject matter of the film comes from the three major mine fraud and murder gang cases in 98, it is reasonable and correct to choose down-to-earth actors to act.

If he were to act, there would definitely be no sense of reality.

"It doesn't matter, I also started as a group performer." Lu Bu said.

"Brother, you are so handsome, how can you be a group performer." Wang Baoqiang flattered him hard with honest words.

"He's handsome but he can't be eaten as a meal. You can inquire about it. I was given the nickname 'Hengdian No. [-] Special Dealer'." Lu Bu smiled.

Wang Baoqiang then grinned.

Very festive.

Very simple and honest.

Simple, simple atmosphere is very strong.
