China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 135 Second Album [[-]-in-[-]]

Throughout 06, the two films "A Little Red Flower for You" and "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" completed by the Beijing Film Academy were successful in terms of awards and box office respectively.

The crew members who participated in it, whether they were teachers or students, had made quite a name for themselves in the industry. As the director of the Chinese Department of Beijing Film Academy, Jiang Wei didn’t know whether he was a little jealous or wanted to prove himself again, but suddenly Jing Ji Si Dong had the idea of ​​becoming a director again.

Yes, this is not Jiang Wei's first time as a director.

As a screenwriter, he completed his directorial debut, "Silent Witness" in 03.

This drama tells my story about criminal psychology. It focuses on suspense and solving crimes. It is the first of its kind in China. Many people in the industry are optimistic about it. However, after the drama was released, the ratings were only average. Purely. It's a hit but not a crowd pleaser.

Maybe in 03, the audience still didn't like this kind of heavy and brain-burning crime dramas. Moreover, from the completion of the production to the final broadcast, the drama also went through several twists and turns in the review, and it took more than a year to reluctantly withdraw it. cost.

Jiang Wei learned from the experience and analyzed the reasons himself.

The main problem lies in the subject matter and plot. The subject of criminal psychology is a bit ahead of the times for audiences in the early 21st century. In those years, the world was dominated by costume dramas and love dramas. This subject was inherently not popular.

Another one is that the plot is too heavy and the whole drama is too dark and depressing, which somewhat affects the audience's mood.

So the results were not good.

Jiang Wei is also planning to start with TV series this time. In terms of subject selection, he still has not given up on the suspense subject matter that he is passionate about.

But he also learned a lesson this time. The inner core is suspense, but he plans to cleverly package the background of the entire story and the settings of the characters to attract the audience.

Apart from crime themes, the only thing that can be paired with suspense is espionage.

While Jiang Wei was creating his own works, he was also painstakingly looking for adaptations.

After a month, there was little progress in creation.It actually made him find a novel that he was satisfied with.

It is the short spy novel "Latent" that the writer Long Yi just published in 2006.

The original novel "Insidious" is very different from the classic spy TV series that has become well-known in later generations.

As a short story, the entire original work of "Latent" only has more than [-] words.

It mainly tells the story of Yu Zecheng, a loyal underground party member of our party during the War of Liberation, who obeyed the organization's arrangements and lurked in the Tianjin Station of the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau, serving as a major adjutant and director of the confidential office.

During the period of hiding, due to the need of disguise, the organization accidentally arranged to have a fake husband and wife with Cuiping, a rude female rural guerrilla.

And so the story unfolds.

Yu Zecheng, a little intellectual with some mysophobia, is mature and restrained, and has a heroic spirit far beyond ordinary people under his calm appearance. However, his partner is Cuiping, an upright woman from the countryside who is simple, shrewd and inflexible.

While pretending to be a couple and performing latent missions together, the two had constant conflicts in life and personality due to their different origins and experiences. During the two years of getting along, the two gradually deepened their mutual understanding through mutual confrontation, misunderstandings and conflicts. Understanding, and eventually feelings.

The whole story is full of conflict and tension, and the background of the story can be classified as an enduring anti-war theme on the market.

Jiang Wei fell in love with this story and immediately made up his mind to adapt it.

After making inquiries, I contacted the author and explained my intention, only to find out that I was a step too late. The rights to adapt the original novel had already been acquired by Sun Yi, or in other words, had been bought by Sun Yi Studio.

The young man who was talking about recommending his own script in the school conference room came into Jiang Wei's field of vision again.

When Sun Yi received a call from Director Jiang Wei, he was in Wang Jingtian's recording studio, which is also his current music studio.

With the release of the movie "Those Years", the first month sales of his second album also came out.

A total of 50 copies.

The sales volume of this second album in the first month has almost caught up with the total sales volume of his previous album.

The reason for the surge in sales is not only the promotional strategy tied to the movie "Those Years", but the core reason is that the songs he chose are all classics.

The first song is "Write a Poem for You".

"Love is a strange thing, but also a skill." Two simple lyrics express the characteristics of love. Many people think that the lyrics and music of this song are simple, like a saliva song.

But Sun Yi feels that the simpler it is, the more one can see its skills. The catchy melody and concise lyrics and music express the true meaning of love.

"In love, each of us becomes a fool."

The second song is "Wish to Win Someone's Heart".

"I only want to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated. These simple words require great courage."

The easy-to-understand lyrics, beautiful melody, and the combination of Sun Yi's classical poetry and popular singing express the beautiful vision of love and the beautiful expectations of mutual love between men and women.

Throughout the song, there are regrets that life will only be the same as when we first met, sadness at passing away in your arms, and vows to stay together until we grow old. The emotions hidden between the words are unforgettable.

Once released, it became a must-listen for love song lovers.

The third song is "In My Song".

This song was popularly sung by a bald guy in a previous life, and the person is a bad person, but the song is a good song, and the original female version is also very nice.

The whole song expresses regret and nostalgia for love.

Love just disappears.

But it did exist.

It has existed in many places.

"In my dreams, in my heart, in my singing."

This is a lyrical song that is close to life. The emotion invested in the whole song is very rich. The emotions in the song are constantly sublimating. I will miss the past in the future and shed tears in the future.

It's a sad emotional song chosen by Sun Yi. It doesn't sound like much at first, but the more you listen to it, the more it tastes. You can taste it differently every time.

The fourth song is "Li Bai".

First of all, this is indeed a mouth-watering song.

But Sun Yi liked to listen to it in his previous life, just like what is said in the song.

"Most people want me to learn to see things from a secular perspective. I am convinced that I have learned a secular perspective, which is secular until dawn."

In today's society, most people live in an environment bound by various rules and regulations. From childhood to adulthood, we have been taught various ways to behave. Family pressure, career pressure, and marriage pressure are all constantly imposed on us.

As we all know, the life of the great poet Li Bai was frustrated, but he lived an extremely free and easy life. Sun Yi really wanted to be like Li Bai and experience all the tangles in the world, and then still be able to live out the happiness and open-mindedness he longed for.

The fifth song is "Light Chaser"

This song is simply the best interpretation of "the song that has come out of bad movies since ancient times."

Later, it was used as the theme song of the bad movie "The Summer Solstice Is Not Here", and it became popular all over the Internet as soon as it was released.

The whole song is clean and soothing, the lyrics are sincere, the expression is straight to the heart, warm and healing, and affectionate.

Sun Yi hesitated for a long time when choosing the theme song for the movie "Those Years". This song "Light Chaser" is also excellent.The indescribable love in it makes people unconsciously fall into the memories of youth.

"I can follow you, sleepwalking like a shadow chasing the light."

"I can wait at this intersection, no matter whether you will pass by or not." "Every time I raise my head for you, even tears feel free."

After several choices, Sun Yi finally chose the original version of "Those Years". He felt that the song "Light Chaser" expressed more helplessness about fate than regret about youth. There is no song like "Those Years". The song is more closely related to the theme of the movie.

"You are the fireworks on the sea" "I am the foam of the waves"

"Fireworks" and "bubbles" are both beautiful, but both are short-lived, just like the intersection of fate at a certain moment, it may just be an accident.

After Sun Yi's song "Light Chaser" was released, it was the most adapted song by netizens. Many fans expressed their love for their idols by adding photos of their favorite stars.

This was something Sun Yi did not expect, which shows how crazy the fan base is. However, it also indirectly promoted the overall sales of his album.

Regarding the choice of the last song, Sun Yi made a rare mistake.

In the end, after much hesitation, I chose Wang Zha’s song.

"Blue and White Porcelain" by Jayy

No way, this song is too classic.

The whole song has rigorous logic, beautiful words, and is poetic and picturesque. It is simply an ancient love letter.

The story begins with an action scene, "The embryo outlines the blue and white brush strokes, which are thicker and lighter." The peony on the bottle reminds me of your first makeup look.Thinking of you, I can no longer continue painting. The scent of sandalwood comes slowly, and I have stopped writing halfway.

At this point, the scene where the whole story begins has been set up, and it looks natural.

"The sky is blue and waiting for misty rain,"

Azure is the color that appears after rain and clear skies.Azure cannot appear on its own. Only after the misty rain has passed and the clouds have dispersed, can the sky become clear and blue.

Sky blue is also the color of pure top-grade Ru kiln. Sky blue after rain is a very difficult color to make. The color of sky blue will only appear on porcelain under misty and rainy conditions.

"And I'm waiting for you,"

The two of them were waiting thousands of miles across the river.

So I tried my best to stay elegant and write Han Li on the bottom of the bottle, but I also understood that our ending is like the fainted moonlight, as ethereal as a dream, like the blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation, wishful thinking, self-seeking and beautiful.

This song is really a hit. After its release, it really caused a sensation in the entire music world. Not only fans, but also many professional musicians took a new look at Sun Yi as a singer-songwriter.

Netizens even spoke highly of this song.

"In terms of artistic conception, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like an ink painting of the misty and rainy Jiangnan. Between the budding water and clouds, you can vaguely see the beauty's white clothes and skirts flying."

"In terms of words and sentences, "Blue and White Porcelain" is a piece of plain heart paper written by the window with a beautiful brush end. The twists and turns of the pen are just because the heart is like a double screen, with thousands of knots in it."

"In terms of tune, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a mountain spring and stream flowing quietly on the rocks in the breeze. It is cool and translucent, yet winding and full of endless meanings."

It is these six classic songs, plus "Those Years", "A Little Sweet", "Young and Promising", and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", a total of ten songs, which form Sun Yi's second song "King". Explosive album.

The popularity of the album brought Sun Yi great popularity, which led to the movie's box office revenue of nearly 7000 million in those years.

When Sun Yi put down the phone, he realized that it turned out that Director Jiang Wei was interested in the copyright of "Latent" in his studio's hands.

Want to buy it at a premium.

Sun Yi thought about it, and it seemed that "Latent" in his previous life was filmed by director Jiang Wei as the director and screenwriter. Moreover, the whole drama invited a number of veteran actors with superb acting skills to star in it, creating a classic for a generation.

Later Douban score is 9.4.

Based on the harshness of domestic netizens towards domestic dramas, more than 10,000 people gave it a score of 9.4, which is enough to show how classic "Latent" is.

The rights to adapt the script cannot be transferred, and cannot be sold for any amount of money.

You would be a fool if you sold it.

Through the income from the movie "Those Years", Sun Yi also saw that in the current Chinese film and television industry, movies are far less profitable than TV series.

In 2006, China's total movie box office revenue was less than 30 billion yuan. This included box office revenue from imported blockbusters, and half of the domestic box office revenue was shared by various big-star and big-budget movies.

The advertising revenue of major satellite TV stations during the TV drama broadcast period throughout the year was as much as 200 billion, a difference of nearly ten times.

If I don’t talk about anything else, let’s talk about “Soldier Assault”.

Throughout December, "Soldier Assault" entered its third round of broadcasting. This time, ten TV stations participated. Although the price of a single episode has dropped, the quantity cannot be tolerated. The entire third round of broadcasting rights has once again given Sun Yi The studio earned more than 12 million yuan.

The movie "Soldier Assault" earned Sun Yi more than 2500 million yuan.

It can be seen that if you want to make money these days, filming TV series is the best choice.

Movies can serve as a form of entertainment.

Moreover, Yu Zecheng, the protagonist of "Latent", is definitely a classic among classics, and Sun Yi is very coveted.

In terms of acting skills, Sun Yi is now confident. He feels that he has the ability to complete this role. The only problem is his age. He is under 20 years old, and even with makeup, he still looks too young.

There is really no way around this. In the original work, Yu Zecheng is a mature man in his 30s.

Sun Yi was very sure about the character's mentality, but as for the young man's appearance, he was a little unsure.

As we all know, the appropriate age range for actors to play roles is around 5 years old, and it is much easier to "act young" than to "act old".

In later generations, it is not uncommon for actresses who are old enough to be aunts to still play young girls, which is enough to prove it.

Originally, his worries could be easily solved.

As long as the adaptation rights are not sold, the contract has been signed in black and white and no one can take it away by force.

Keep the book in hand for two or three years, and by then he will be starring in it.

But he also didn't want to give up on Jiang Wei, not that he had to do it, but that a TV series often took two or three times as much time as a movie from preparation to shooting and finally to post-production.

Sun Yi doesn't have so much time to spend on TV dramas.

And as Sun Yi has just released a movie, he also needs an independently directed movie to establish his status as a director.

Now Director Jiang Wei has come to visit him, and he is also the original director and screenwriter in his previous life. He really feels a little guilty if he doesn't use these proper tools.

I don’t know if Director Jiang Wei can agree.Judging from the previous life of "Latent", Jiang Wei still has his own ideas about the choice of actors.

　Sorry, I'm late because of the night shift tonight.

　　Do you book lovers think it is appropriate to play the leading role of Yu Zecheng?

　　Friendly comments are welcome.

　　Ask for recommendations, ask for monthly tickets, ask for subscriptions.

　　I will make up the debt as soon as possible.

　　Thank you!
