Chapter 1054 No. 3 in Asia Rich List
In a blink of an eye, on October 2013, 10, the third part of the special forces series "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" invested and produced by Haotian Film and Television premiered exclusively on Litchi Satellite TV during prime time.

Although the ratings and word-of-mouth of the second part of the series "Special Forces: Knife Unsheathed" have declined to a certain extent compared with the first part, this series still has a lot of popularity.

"Fire Phoenix of Special Forces" also turned its attention to the women's special forces. Female soldiers were selected from various units, and the Thunder Commandos trained them to transform into professional special forces step by step.

"Phoenix of Special Forces" was finally won by Lizhi Satellite TV, which is fond of military themes. The price is lower than the second part of the series. In addition, there are as many as 62 episodes, so the first round of exclusive sales is 80 per episode.

At the same time, Tudou.com directly bought out the online broadcasting rights at a price of 2000 million yuan, so the first round of "Special Forces: Fire Phoenix" was sold at a price of 112 million yuan per episode.

With the addition of the network broadcasting rights in the first round, Haotian Film and Television has already recovered the cost, which reassures Haotian Film and Television, which was worried about the decline in the ratings and word-of-mouth of the second special forces.

And on the first day of broadcast, the three-episode simulcast of "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" achieved an average rating of 48 in CSM0.94 City, with a market share of 2.65%, ranking third in ratings during the same period!
"Fire Phoenix of Special Forces" takes the military camp as the background, expressing the positive and enterprising outlook of young people pursuing their ideals with sweat and realizing their dreams through hard work.

The play encourages young people to gain the approval of others, and only through their own efforts, instead of trying to fight their fathers or others, conveys "positive energy".

The main characters of the play have distinctive characteristics, and the relationship between the secondary characters in the play is ingeniously designed, and it closely revolves around the special forces.

It can be said that the appearance of each character has a foreshadowing, and the whole work is very dramatic.

There are no big-name actors in the whole play, and many newcomers who are not familiar to the audience are used, and the fashion elements of youth films and idol dramas are integrated.

In the play, the scene of the enemy’s occupation of Donghai City for drills appears after visiting the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Jinling Massacre by the Japanese Invaders. It makes people naturally think of the Anti-Island War for national independence. The plot design is bold and realistic. , thought-provoking.

Attention to detail is the key to the success of TV drama creation.

Many details, such as the daily training of special forces borrowed from online games, the humorous scene of Lei Zhan proposing to Tan Xiaolin, and the dialogues of Lin Guoliang when he was excluded after stepping on a landmine and paralyzed on his knees, are modern, real, funny and witty, in line with the needs of young people. aesthetic habits.

"Fire Phoenix of Special Forces" knows that men's passion for weapons comes from the sense of power brought by weapons, from the instinct to conquer the world, rather than such trivial things as calibers, parameters, and necklines.

Therefore, the special forces in the play need to drive tanks, grab missiles, dismantle nuclear bombs, and fly helicopters. Various weapons are used in turn.

The brilliance of the film lies in respecting these fantasies of men, and expressing this fantasy in the form of military dramas they like, and of course it will win their support in the end.

With the continuous deepening of the plot and the spread of influence, the ratings of "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" are also increasing.

On the second day, the episode directly broke through 1%, and then continued to grow steadily. When the episode was halfway through, the ratings officially broke through 2%, and at the same time, it won the first place in the ratings at the same time.

Then "Phoenix of Special Forces" maintained the first position until the finale, and finally ended with an average rating of 1.807%.

This ratings result is currently the annual ratings champion of Litchi Satellite TV in 2013!

Ranked No. 2013 in the mainland's 4 provincial satellite TV's annual TV drama ratings list!
Ranked No. 2013 in the mainland's 6 CCTV's annual TV drama ratings list!
Compared with the second "Special Forces: Knife Unsheathed", this "Special Forces: Fire Phoenix" is much stronger in terms of ratings.

……

"Hua Zai, do you have any schedule recently?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"Oh? Director Chen is looking for me to cooperate?" Liu Dehua immediately said happily when he heard the words.

For being able to cooperate with a director of Chen Hao's level, even superstars value it very much, especially when Chen Hao has two films with a box office of over 2 billion yuan.

"It's cooperation, but this time I'm just looking for you to play a cameo role, and you don't need to appear on the scene, just make a voice." Chen Hao laughed.

After Charlotte became famous in "Charlotte's Annoyance", countless singers asked him to invite him to sing, including Liu Dehua. Then Charlotte wrote "People in Our Village" for Liu Dehua, which was also bilingual in Mandarin and Cantonese.

Liu Dehua doesn't need to appear on camera at all, he just needs to make a phone call with Charlotte and say a few words, and the whole line is only a few words.

However, there is another soundtrack in "Charlotte Annoyance", which is the Cantonese version of "People from Our Village", but in the previous life, someone was asked to imitate Liu Dehua to sing.

Now that it is directed by Chen Hao, it is of course an upgraded version, all the stars themselves are found, and their guest appearances can also boost the box office.

"That's it, no problem." Liu Dehua was somewhat disappointed when he heard the words, but he still smiled, "I can wait for your call anytime."

"Okay, then it's settled." Chen Hao nodded and said, "In addition, you need to sing a Cantonese song, "People in Our Village" as the film's soundtrack."

"Okay, you can send it to me directly, and I will record it for you as soon as possible." Liu Dehua said straightforwardly.

"Thank you so much." Chen Hao said.

"Small idea." Liu Dehua said, "It's just that if there is any suitable role in the future, Director Chen must find me again, and I still have to earn money for milk powder."

"Okay, I'll write it down." Chen Hao nodded and said, "By the way, there is one more thing, are you familiar with the princess? I need her to make a guest appearance in my new film, just a few scenes, just sing a few lines of lyrics. "

In "Charlotte's Annoyance", Charlotte was able to become famous in one fell swoop, relying on being appreciated by Na Ying, and then they landed together in the [-] Spring Festival Gala and sang "Meeting in [-]" and became popular all over the country.

But Chen Hao didn't have a good impression of Na Ying and didn't want to find her. This is why the only female mentor in "The Voice of China" is Tian Zhen instead of Na Ying.

So in the movie, Chen Hao asked the princess to play a guest role instead, and sang "Meeting in [-]" with Charlotte.

But the princess refused very simply. The princess has only acted in six movies in her life, and the last one was in 2005.

Her career focus and interest are not in movies, and with her identity, status and personality, she doesn't need to care too much about other people's face, she can do whatever she wants.

So even if it was Chen Hao's new film as a cameo, he rejected it without even thinking about it.

After being rejected, Chen Hao thought about whether to change the song, let Charlotte partner with other singers, or sing solo.

But after looking through the memories of the [-] Spring Festival Gala, the only impression I have is this song "Meeting in [-]".

One of the factors for the success of "Charlotte Annoyance" is the perfect reproduction of the 90s, and the Spring Festival Gala is obviously one of the key points.

I believe that most people's memory of the [-] Spring Festival Gala is the song "Meeting in [-]". After all, there are only a few people who can remember the other Spring Festival Gala singing programs.

Therefore, in order to better present the [-] Spring Festival Gala, so that the audience can better bring into their own youth and empathize with them, this song is really necessary.

No way, if you can't get a formal invitation, you can only start with friends.

"My concubine and I know each other, but we haven't been in frequent contact for many years." Liu Dehua said, "But Liu Jialing and her are good friends, I can ask her to help you."

"Then I will trouble you. When will you come to the capital, I will treat you to dinner." Chen Hao said.

"Okay, then I'll wait." Liu Dehua said with a smile.

After finishing the call, Chen Hao remembered that the company had collaborated with Liu Jialing on the "Di Renjie" series, so he called Xu Ke, the director of this series, and asked him to help Liu Jialing talk about it.

Xu Ke also fully agreed, and Chen Hao was relieved.

Except for the princess, other celebrities, such as the four mentors of "The Voice of China" and Jay Chou, all readily agreed after receiving the guest appearance invitation.

In the previous life, these were all played by "fake star faces" in the movies instead of the stars themselves.

"After all, this is our first film, people don't know you yet, and we may not have enough influence in the film industry to reassure these superstars."

These are the original words of Yan Fei in the interview, but in fact he also revealed that he still hopes in his heart that "if real stars can come, it will be perfect!"

In addition, the crew of "Charlotte Annoyance" in the previous life encountered many problems.

Anyone who has watched "Charlotte's Annoyance" knows that the combination of golden tunes is definitely a major selling point of the film. The Hong Kong version of "The People in Our Village" has been playing well since the drama, but other new additions to the film script The songs in the film gave the creators a headache.

Producer Ma Chi admitted to the reporter that because they do not have a wide network of contacts in the music industry, they have repeatedly fought for music copyrights, and in the end there are still some things that have not been discussed.

"It took about half a year to change many of the songs that Charlotte used to sing to songs by Pu Shu and Xu Wei."

To this end, the film was reshot four times.

"Four times of finalization almost killed me, and every finalization means a new beginning." Yan Fei also said with a smile, they are "talking about finalization".

However, these problems can be easily solved by Chen Hao, and the guest stars can be easily solved by relying on the influence of Chen Hao and Haotian Films.

The copyright of the music is handed over to Haotian Music, and Haotian Music has already bought the copyright for many of the songs, which can be used directly.

But the song "People in Our Village" was only released last year. If you want to change it to Cantonese, you have to discuss it, but it's not a big problem.

Another difference is that in "Charlotte's Annoyance" in the previous life, the first song "Just One Time" that Charlotte sang to the first love goddess Qiuya was given a butterfly effect by Chen Hao.

Because this is a love song that Chen Hao gave to Yaya, and it has not been released to the public, but the copyright has been registered in advance, so this song has not been widely circulated.

Naturally, another love song was chosen in the Happy Twist script.

It can be said that Chen Hao's version of "Charlotte Annoyance" can be regarded as an enhanced version of "Charlotte Annoyance" 2.0, whether it is the director, the cast, or the crew behind the scenes.

In addition, when the film is finished and released, the schedule and scale of the film will definitely be much better than in the previous life.

After "Charlotte Annoyance" has achieved all-round growth, in Chen Hao's view, it is expected to challenge the highest box office record in mainland film history!
……

While Chen Hao was busy dealing with company affairs, the preparations for the crew of "Charlotte Annoyance" were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Soon, the time came to September 10.

……

On Halloween in 2013, Haotian City was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange and listed for trading.

Haotian Tongcheng's successful counterattack listing shows that its business model has been recognized by investors, and it also shows that Cao Libin's concept packaging of "e-commerce" (the business model of Haotian Tongcheng similar to Ali mentioned in the prospectus) is successful.

After the first round of financing, management incentives, and listing, Chen Hao's shareholding in Haotian City has become 70%.

And this time Haotian City IPO, Chen Hao's personal assets increased by about 10 billion US dollars again.

The successful listing of Haotian City has aroused certain repercussions in the financial circle, but the media in the entertainment circle obviously paid more attention to the increase of Chen Hao's personal assets.
