Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Next, the wrap-up banquet continued, and because of Cao Zhiqiang's previous speech, the atmosphere was particularly good. Many caring people rushed over to toast Cao Zhiqiang.

Even those who don't want to change jobs, they also come to toast with Cao Zhiqiang. This is not only a matter of politeness, but also to build a good relationship and consolidate connections.

You know, up to now, people who are interested in Cao Zhiqiang already know a lot about Cao Zhiqiang's situation.

For these filmmakers, Cao Zhiqiang's status as a poet and singer is nothing. What is really feared or respected is his status as the president of a publishing house and the director of a film studio.

Let's not mention the publishing house, after all, it has something to do with the film and television industry, but not much.

But the identity of the director of the film studio is different.

Even if Cao Zhiqiang's director of the film studio seems to be very poor at the moment, he just has an empty shelf, and he can even be said to be a light commander, but that is extraordinary.

The biggest question is, how can he get the license of the film studio and become the director of the film studio!

It's not just about having money, you also have to have power, someone!
At the very least, you must have a good relationship with the Director of the Film Bureau, because only the Director of the Film Bureau has the right to issue licenses for film studios.

In fact, although there are many film studios in the Republic, not all of which are of the nature of public institutions like the Beijing Film Studio, but also of the nature of the military, such as the Bayi Film Factory, but since the opening of the country, there has never been heard of a new film studio Opened, and it is still a film studio of a corporate nature.

Although there have been rumors that the film studios in the future will undergo reforms and turn their businesses into enterprises, they are just rumors.

But now suddenly there is a film studio with a corporate nature, which is still a contracted business model, which makes people think a lot.

In other words, many people here have complicated their thinking about Cao Zhiqiang and the Red Light Film Factory behind him. They think that the Red Light Film Factory is a reform pilot specially launched by the Film Bureau, and Cao Zhiqiang is just a person who is pushed to the front. In fact, the Film Bureau is behind it. This great god.

If the reform is successful, it proves that the film studio with the enterprise system plus the contract management system can create brilliance and be responsible for its own profits and losses, then it is estimated that it will gradually be promoted in other units.

As a reform pilot, a lot of resources will inevitably be allocated. If it is done well, it may be able to enjoy a wave of reform dividends.

Just like Shenzhen and Hainan now.

Even if you don't want to stand in line to enjoy the bonus, you will not suffer a disadvantage if you make a good friend with Cao Zhiqiang, the person in front of the stage in advance.

After all, in the film and television industry, you help me and I help you. No one knows what will happen in the future. Many friends are better than many enemies, so it is especially important to make money through harmony, especially in the 80s when people were generally not rich.

Otherwise, people in the capital love to think about things, and they can think of major national affairs even if they are even trivial.

It also benefited from the brains of these people, so at this time they are all scrambling to get close to Cao Zhiqiang, a young man who is only 19 years old.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he never refused anyone at the beginning, but soon he couldn't hold on anymore.

Just kidding, there are so many people, how many glasses of wine are there for each person?

The key point is that when many people come, they have to drink three glasses of wine instead of a glass of wine, white!
What kind of beer, if you use tea instead of wine, it won't work at all, you have to drink white, or you won't give me noodles!

More importantly, Cao Zhiqiang is still a young man, let alone a young man.

In desperation, Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to drink as soon as anyone came, and drink as soon as he came, and he became dizzy after drinking.

Even if there were Xu Qingdong, Zhu Lin and others blocking the wine for Cao Zhiqiang, there were too many people who came to toast, and they couldn't stop many.

In the end, Cao Zhiqiang found that he had a splitting headache, but there was an endless stream of people coming to toast, so he was startled half awake, and then he used the toilet as an excuse and went straight to the toilet.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang's idea was to go to the toilet to pee, and then sneak away.

But who knew, because he drank too much this time, as soon as he entered the public toilet, he was flushed by the smell of the toilet, and immediately his stomach turned upside down, and he vomited directly.

But let alone, after vomiting, although his feet were weak, his mind was much clearer, and he no longer had a splitting headache.

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang understood that he was not suitable for such a banquet with many people.

For a person like him, this kind of banquet is not for eating at all, but for drinking, or being ruined.

Think about it, too, usually the leader is above the top, only at this kind of banquet, the people below can take the opportunity to get drunk on the leader and take the opportunity to vent their anger.

Well, anyway, Cao Zhiqiang thinks this is the truth.

It can only be said that the current banquet toasting culture is indeed a bad habit, especially for a leader like him, it is quite unfriendly.

No wonder the leaders at this time must be able to drink, and those who cannot drink are really unable to hold on.

After vomiting, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and staggered out of the toilet, only to find someone waiting outside, it wasn't Zhu Lin, whoever it was.

"Sister Zhu?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback.

"Yeah!" Zhu Lin saw Cao Zhiqiang, ran over immediately, supported Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Zhiqiang, are you okay? Your face is turning blue."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled wryly.

But no, I vomited so much just now, and my legs are still weak, how could my complexion be any better?

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "I just vomited for a while, which made Sister Zhu laugh."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang pushed Zhu Lin's hand away: "Don't touch me, I just threw up and my body is dirty."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang, who pushed Zhu Lin away, began to walk forward by himself, but after only two steps, his footsteps softened and he staggered.

Thanks to Zhu Lin's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he helped Cao Zhiqiang, so Cao Zhiqiang didn't fall to the ground.

"Look at you!" Zhu Lin, whose face was a little red, said slightly displeased, "What can you do if you can't drink? Well, don't go back, I'll take you back to the hotel to rest."

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while: "That's fine, but where is the green banquet?"

"You're already like this, and you still want to kill the green banquet?" Zhu Lin shook his head amusedly, "There's Director Xu over there, you can't go wrong, so you don't have to worry."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "By the way, sister Zhu, how did you come here? You also go to the toilet?"

Zhu Lin smiled: "I'm worried about you, so I came here to find you?"

"Worried about me, looking for me?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Why don't you let others come? At least let a man come over."

"The men can't come." Zhu Lin shook his head, "You don't know, we're fighting with people at that table, and the men won't let them leave if they don't drink.

I'm different, I'm a lesbian, I don't need to drink alcohol, I don't pay much attention, so I can come and go as I please. "

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Indeed, today's wine table culture really gives special preference to women.

Because the alcohol competition in this period is only for men, women can not drink alcohol, and generally drink drinks and tea.

Of course, if you are a woman, it is not impossible to compete with others for drinking, but you have to bear the consequences yourself.

In short, as a woman, you can refuse to fight for alcohol at this time. If you don't drink, no one will say anything about you.

But if you are a man, if someone asks you for a drink, if you push back and forth, then you will lose face.

Unless you don't drink in the first place, for example, if you are sick or something.

"There is more." Zhu Lin said, "If I don't come to the toilet to look for you, then a group of old men will look for you. At that time, you will not be able to escape, and you will be arrested by them and returned to the drinking bureau to continue drinking. .”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Indeed, if Zhu Lin came to the toilet and stood guard at the toilet door, then men and women were different, and a group of men would feel embarrassed to come and snatch someone.

Therefore, Zhu Lin actually guarded the door for himself, preventing those men with malicious intentions from rushing in.

Zhu Lin is a woman and a heroine, she has a certain status and identity, if she is holding the door of the toilet, it is really effective.

"Sister Zhu, thank you very much." Cao Zhiqiang said gratefully, "You are still thoughtful."

Zhu Lin supported Cao Zhiqiang and said, "It's okay, everything should be done."

After a pause, Zhu Lin helped Cao Zhiqiang to a pole: "Zhiqiang, you are leaning on the pole and waiting. I will go in and tell someone, so that no one will know when you and I leave."

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang nodded while leaning on the pole.

Only then did Zhu Lin let go of his hand, and trotted back to the banquet venue.

And looking at the back of Zhu Lin running away, for some reason, maybe because of the drunkenness, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly felt very beautiful.

After swallowing subconsciously, Cao Zhiqiang quickly shook his head: "What are you thinking, don't think about it, she is much older than you, so be sober!"

After reading this, Hu Qiang quickly slapped himself, and then regained consciousness.

But soon, Zhu Lin's voice and smile entered his mind again, and nothing could stop him.

So, Cao Zhiqiang simply gave up, just think about it, and he is not guilty of thinking about it.

Moreover, Cao Zhiqiang excused himself.

He thought it was normal.

After all, he has been filming with Zhu Lin during this period, during which he had frequent and close contact, not to mention the intimate contact during the acting process, even outside the film, he often talks to Zhu Lin about the play.

He has been in close contact for a long time, and he is young and energetic. It would be a lie to say that there is nowhere to show affection.

If you don't say that actors are easy to be emotional, it is true that this industry is really easy to be emotional.

Especially when filming such a deeply emotional love scene, it is normal to be emotional.

If you want to get out, I am afraid it will take a long time to get used to it.

"So, everything is normal, no big deal."

After convincing himself with words again, Cao Zhiqiang began to close his eyes and take a deep breath, and at the same time began to think about other things desperately, hoping to dilute the lingering emotional factors by thinking about other things.

There are many things for him, such as the issue of releasing a new book, the issue of releasing a new record, and the issue of going to Japan in the future, etc.

First is the issue of new books.

Now that "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" has been published, the domestic market is almost saturated. Although there will be more shipments in the future, it will no longer be able to form the momentum that everyone frantically snapped up at the beginning.

According to the news from the publishing house, from August to now, the total number of copies of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" has been less than 100 million, which is only a little over 98. It seems that the bonus period has come to an end.

However, the inertia of books is relatively long, usually lasting about half a year, but it is impossible to expect explosive growth.

The publishing house estimates that by September, the popularity of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" will gradually fade, and the final sales volume will be between 450 million and 600 million sets. This is already a relatively optimistic estimate.

On the other hand, "Life in Bloom" has become more and more popular recently.

The bonus period of a record is actually shorter. Normally, a popular song is popular for one to three months, but some special edition records can last longer.

For example, "One Game, One Dream" by Wang Jie in the previous life once dominated the pop song rankings in Taiwan for half a year, and sold 800 million records in less than a year.

But no matter what, when pop songs are the hottest, they must be in the first three months after they are just released, and often the second month is the highest peak, and then gradually decline, and few can maintain the peak for two or three months. It's expected, those are all superstars.

And Cao Zhiqiang's "Life in Bloom" has been released for two months now, and the popularity should have started to decline, but who knows, not only did the popularity not decline, but it became higher and higher.

Especially the whole of August, it can be called the month of full bloom.

Because during the month of August, "Life in Bloom" was played almost everywhere in the streets and alleys of the whole country, and even other popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan could not stop the frenzy of Blooming.

It can really be said that once it is released in full bloom, the songs will be changed!

Of course, the sales volume is also leveraged.

Just the day before yesterday, Chen Jiabang called him and said that the domestic sales of an album like "Life in Bloom" has exceeded 900 million, which is simply unprecedented.

And even though the sales are so terrible, the supply is still in short supply everywhere. It is said that large-scale pirated records have begun to appear in the south.

Even, I heard that even the Chinese circles in Taiwan and Southeast Asia have begun to popularize his songs, and his "Blooming Bloom" has really gone abroad.

Is this news? Cao Zhiqiang believes it. After all, these days, the erosive power of popular music is very strong. Not only overseas will erode domestic, but domestic good songs will also erode foreign countries.

For example, Cao Zhiqiang knew that almost two or three years after his previous life, there was an inland female singer named Zhang Qiang who used to let mainland songs go abroad by singing. American Time Magazine's Chinese artist.

In this world, Cao Zhiqiang doesn’t know whether there will be Zhang Qiang, but what he knows is that as long as he works a little harder, he will be the No. 80 Chinese music scene in the 1s.

No way, who made Cao Zhiqiang never fight alone.

From the beginning to the end, Cao Zhiqiang was burdened with the database of many well-known works, and then started fighting.

He seems to be a person, but in fact he is the crystallization of the wisdom of many talented musicians of later generations. He is equivalent to holding famous works of an entire era from later generations, and coming here to carry out dimension reduction strikes.

Specifically, he is backed by the classic songs of so many celebrities in later generations, and he has excellent talents and skills given by the system. In addition, he has his own performing arts platform and distribution platform. So many innate and acquired factors add up. , if the grades are poor, it is unreasonable.

So, don't look at the scary result of selling 900 million copies in the past two months, but look at Cao Zhiqiang's conditions, he thinks this result is just average.

Don't forget the domestic population base and the number of tape recorders.

The sales volume of 900 million records is really drizzle in China.

In addition, limited by domestic consumption power, although record sales are not small, when it comes to making money, it is actually not that much.

During this period, if you really want to make money, you still have to come up with English songs and break into the mainstream of Western society. That is a good way to really harvest money.

No way, who makes Westerners the richest now.

But this kind of thing has to be done slowly, first find an opportunity to win the Japanese market.

Therefore, this trip to Japan must be carefully planned, and this precious opportunity to go abroad must not be wasted.
