Entertainment: Taking her daughter out of the house, it is popular on the Internet

Chapter 353 Goal, Launch Conference (please subscribe for monthly pass)
After hanging up the phone, Gu Chenfeng went to cook for Luo Qingcheng and Tangtang.

He didn't go out to work now, so Luo Qingcheng and Tangtang's meals were all cooked by him.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after picking up Tangtang and the family of three finished dinner, Luo Qingcheng accompanied Tangtang to do homework, while Gu Chenfeng went back to the study to start preparing his own album.

This time his goal is to hit the sales rankings, and be in the top ten of the rankings.

You must know that in the past few years, even the best-selling album has only sold 240 million copies, which is still far from the top ten in the current sales list.

Because the current sales of the top ten albums are 240 chapters, the statistical time is three months after the release of the album.

With the vigorous development of the Internet age, it is basically impossible to sell more than 1000 million albums in this era.

But Gu Chenfeng didn't believe it. In his opinion, the reason why these singers' album sales are not so good now, or they can't hit the sales charts, is not that people don't like albums anymore, but that many people now In the album, there are basically some songs that I have sung.

Since those fans have already heard it, if you put it in the album, everyone will definitely not pay for it.

But Gu Chenfeng plans to make a trumpet album this time, with a total of twelve songs, nine of which are new songs, so under such circumstances, there should still be many people willing to buy the album.

In order to achieve the goal of impacting the album sales rankings, Gu Chenfeng carefully selected nine new songs in the system according to the types of songs, including the Cantonese song "Glorious Years", the folk song "Nanshan South", the love song "Prison Bird", classic rock "No Land to Conceal", Hua Guofeng "East Wind Breaks", Jingqiang song "Red Ridge", martial arts song "A Laugh from the Sea", inspirational song "I Believe", and healing song "Lake Baikal".

The genres of these nine songs are completely different, the only thing in common is that they are all classics on earth, and their popularity is very high. If the sales volume of the album composed of these songs cannot exceed 1000 million, then From then on, Gu Chenfeng no longer thought about breaking the album sales chart.

In the next few days, Gu Chenfeng spent almost every day in the recording studio of Qingchen Entertainment Company.

It is worth mentioning that the recording studio he asked Liu Kuang to build before was not with the company, but in the outskirts of Jin City. It has a large recording studio of more than 1000 square meters, and all the equipment in it is very top-notch. of.

In the recording studio, Gu Chenfeng writes lyrics, composes, scores, and records songs every day...

It took almost half a month to finish all twelve songs. However, his speed can almost be said to have broken the fastest record for a singer to produce an album.

No way, who made Gu Chenfeng have SSS-level singing skills?

When he came home, he played the new nine songs to Luo Qingcheng. After listening to him, Luo Qingcheng looked at him with admiration, and said, "Honey, I finally understand why so many people call you a pervert." gone."

"Ah?" Gu Chenfeng looked at Luo Qingcheng in confusion.

Luo Qingcheng said in a serious manner: "As far as your speed of writing songs for making an album is concerned, no evildoer can be so fast, but you actually finished it, so you are really a pervert!"

Now Gu Chenfeng finally understood what Luo Qingcheng meant, and said a little bit dumbfoundingly: "Honey, this title is a bit swearing!"

"This is a compliment, how can it be a curse?" Luo Qingcheng blushed a little, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.

Gu Chenfeng shook his head helplessly, and didn't care about anything, whatever his wife said was whatever, anyway, never try to argue with a woman, especially a pregnant woman.

So he said: "Yes, yes, what my wife said is right."

Seeing Gu Chenfeng's expression, Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said, "Why didn't you realize that you still have a sense of humor?"

"Everyone is subject to change!" Gu Chenfeng replied with a wry smile.

At this moment, Gu Chenfeng's phone rang suddenly, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Zhang Qingqing calling.

After answering the phone, he asked, "Sister Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Gu, the filming of "Spider-Man" is coming to an end, and the filming can be finished in at most ten days, so I will call you to tell you." Zhang Qingqing's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing this news, Gu Chenfeng was overjoyed, and said: "Okay, then leave the rest to Zhuo Le now, I am going to make an album, Sister Zhang, you just come back to rest for a few days, and then help me do the next one." promotion for the album."

"What?" Zhang Qingqing was a little surprised when she heard what Gu Chenfeng said, "Mr. Gu, you really plan to develop in the music world, and you won't be making film and television works in the future?"

She has been following the "Spider-Man" crew for the past few months, and she didn't know that Gu Chenfeng was going to release an album, so she was shocked when she heard the news.

Although Gu Chenfeng's development in the music industry is also good, but he has reached a point in the film and television industry that ordinary people can't match, and now he is going to release an album, which is simply too crazy.

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "Who said I won't make film and television works, I already have a TV series in preparation for the crew, but the crew has not yet prepared, so let's release an album for fun, since I have come to the music scene , that must be a little achievement."

"Isn't the best way to prove your achievements is to release an album?"

After listening to Gu Chenfeng's words, Zhang Qingqing knew that Gu Chenfeng had made up his mind and no one could change it, so he said, "Well, I'll go back to China tomorrow, by the way, Mr. Gu, you What is the name of the TV series I prepared this time? I heard from Liu Kuang that the company has signed a new director, so you don’t want that new director to direct the script of your new TV series, do you?”

"He is the assistant director, and I am the director!" Gu Chenfeng said with a smile.

In this regard, Zhang Qingqing is not surprised at all. After all, Gu Chenfeng said before that he will take the route of self-writing, directing and acting in the future, and it is the safest way to start with TV series.

So he said: "By the way, Mr. Gu, Zhuo Le means that "Spider-Man" can be released in August at the earliest, but he wanted to pretend to be online, but I stopped him."

"August? There are still two months to go, it seems that he has almost done the post-production!" Gu Chenfeng sighed, and said: "Don't expose it for now, we will talk about it when we come back .”

Then Gu Chenfeng chatted with Zhang Qingqing for a while, then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qingcheng asked curiously: "Husband, is the TV series you told Sister Zhang about "Ode to Joy"?"

"Yeah!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said, "This TV series is still very good, and the production team should have almost finished preparations. After I finish recording the album, I should be able to start filming."

It has been nearly two months. Although Gu Chenfeng has not asked about the preparations of the "Ode to Joy" crew, Liu Kuang will report to him every once in a while.

The actors have all been determined, and other lighting, photography, costumes, props, makeup, etc. have all been in place, and now there is only the issue of the venue.

The venue was actually relatively easy to solve, mainly because Liu Kuang let Lu Yun slow down the progress after knowing that Gu Chenfeng was going to prepare the album.

At this moment, Luo Qingcheng asked again: "Honey, what should we do about what Yaoyao said last time? Her brother has helped us a lot!"

She always remembered that Wang Yao called last time and asked Gu Chenfeng to help shoot military-themed film and television works. Now if Gu Chenfeng is going to shoot "Ode to Joy", then the matter on Wang Yao's side is not another matter. It has to be postponed!
Gu Chenfeng thought for a while, and said: "Honey, I haven't forgotten about this. I will shoot the TV series "Ode to Joy" for at most one month, and I will hand over the rest to Lu Yun. I already have a rough outline in my mind, when the time comes, I will first create the script and show it to Wang Yao and her brother."

Of course he didn't forget what Wang Yao said last time, and after learning that Wang Yao and her brother needed to shoot military-themed film and television works to promote the military camp, Gu Chenfeng planned to use the TV series "Ode to Joy" by himself Take it with you for a while.

As long as Lu Yun is brought out, he can completely let him go to shoot, even in the early stage, Gu Chenfeng will not interfere too much, just play a guiding role.

Of course, if Lu Yun can't take the lead by himself, Gu Chenfeng can only do the filming by himself, and when Zhuo Le comes back, he will hand over the military-themed script to him to prepare, and then go to shoot up.

Anyway, Gu Chenfeng has his own plan for this matter.

After hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Luo Qingcheng nodded with a smile, took Gu Chenfeng's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "Thank you, husband, for your hard work."

It is really hard work to make an album, shoot a TV series, and write a script.

···
The next day, Zhang Qingqing came back from the Lighthouse Country.

After resting at home for two days, I started to accompany Gu Chenfeng to shoot the MV of the album.

This time Gu Chenfeng plans to record a 6-song MV for his album, so the workload is quite heavy.

Of course, when Gu Chenfeng was recording the song before, he asked his assistant Wu Xiaoxiao to contact the crew, and then with the help of Liu Kuang, he put together the show.

To put it bluntly, it is the crew of "Ode to Joy", because the filming of this TV series has not yet started, so Liu Kuang shouted to come over to shoot the MV for Gu Chenfeng.

However, because Gu Chenfeng wanted to play the leading role, in order to guarantee time, he did not act as the director himself, nor did he let Lu Yun act as the director.

In Lu Yun's case, he had never shot a MV, and Gu Chenfeng's album was going to hit the album sales charts, so his requirements were very high, so Liu Kuang found him a senior MV director.

His name is Liu Hang, and he has directed music MVs for many kings and queens, and won many awards.

When Gu Chenfeng was recording the song, Liu Hang had already led a group of staff to carry out the preparatory work. Now that the set has been set up and the actors are all in place, Gu Chenfeng just needs to come and perform directly.

As for the script of the MV, it was written by Gu Chenfeng for Liu Hang after deciding on the song.

For the more popular singers, when making an album, they will basically shoot a MV for each song. However, the MV is also a double-edged sword. The bonus effect, if the shooting is not good, it will also have the opposite effect.

Last year, there was a king-level singer who made a joke, finally got a good song, and spent a lot of money to shoot a MV, but the plot of the MV was too difficult, and the money was wasted. , has also been complained by countless fans.

However, Gu Chenfeng's trumpet album has a total of twelve songs. If all of them were recorded in the MV, the number would be too much, so he only chose six songs to shoot the MV.

In order to speed up, Gu Chenfeng directly hired three groups of people, all of which were dispatched by Director Liu Hang, and even called Lu Yun over to study as Liu Hang's assistant.

There is only one purpose for such a big battle, and that is to get all the preparatory work done before the official shooting.

Of course, the three groups of people have completed their work very well, but in this way, Gu Chenfeng and Liu Hang have worked harder. They have to shoot at least eighteen hours a day, which is really exhausting. , but the speed is also very amazing.

The six-song MV production cycle was abruptly completed in less than three weeks by two desperate Saburos.

Gu Chenfeng was naturally very grateful for the dedication of Liu Hang and the crew, and directly doubled the salaries of everyone in the crew, which made everyone very happy.

Gu Chenfeng handed over the rest of the album post-production, packaging, recording, etc. to Zhang Qingqing, and asked her to set up the music department of Qingchen Entertainment Company. After all, no singer in the company has released an album before, but there will definitely be in the future .

So this music department is definitely indispensable.

When setting up the music department, there was one thing that made Gu Chenfeng a little speechless, that is, the venue of Qingchen Entertainment Company is too small to accommodate too many people at all.

You must know that the staff of Qingchen Entertainment Company has thousands of people in total, but the office space is only two floors, which is not enough.

"Sister Zhang, Minister Liu, do you think we should change places?" Gu Chenfeng said while sitting in his office that day, looking at Zhang Qingqing, Liu Kuang, and Zhuo Le in front of him.

Zhuo Le immediately said: "Mr. Gu, if you ask me, you should have bought a building a long time ago. This place is really too small."

When Gu Chenfeng was filming the song MV, Zhuo Le had already finished filming "Spider-Man" and returned from the Lighthouse Country.

Liu Kuang and Zhang Qingqing looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Especially Liu Kuang, he knows the degree of crowding in the company best. He is in the company every day. With the formation of each department, there are more and more people, but the venue is too small, and the overall appearance is relatively small. crowded.

Seeing this, Gu Chenfeng looked at Liu Kuang and asked, "Mr. Liu, how much money is left in our company's account?"

Before, the company spent 180 billion to buy shares in Disney theaters. Although "Iron Man" also made a lot of money later, Gu Chenfeng really doesn't know the exact figures. Only Liu Kuang knows these things best. up.

Liu Kuang took out the folder in his hand, looked at it, and replied: "In the company's account, the current Ruanmei currency is 120, and the US dollar is 650 Four thousand two hundred and fifty one."

The reason why there are so many U.S. dollars in the account is because the previous peripheral sales of "Zootopia" and the box office of "Iron Man" and "Inception" were all settled in U.S. dollars after they were released overseas. So it has always been stored in the account of Qingchen Entertainment Company.

As for the two superhero movies "Spiderman" and "Hulk" that were invested later, they were all paid for with soft sister coins.

What is worth mentioning here is that "Hulk" directed by Zhang Yimou is almost finished. The reason why his shooting speed is slower than that of Zhuo Le is because Director Zhang has no experience in this field, but Zhuo Le and Gu Chenfeng had already filmed "Iron Man", so the shooting speed was relatively fast.

After hearing Liu Kuang's report, Gu Chenfeng was a little stunned.

He didn't expect that before he knew it, he would own so much wealth, more than 40 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 200 billion soft sister coins, plus there are more than 100 billion soft sister coins.

This is definitely an entertainment company with the most abundant cash flow in Huaguo's entertainment industry.

Moreover, this company is solely owned by Gu Chenfeng and has not been listed. Some investors have estimated that if Qingchen Entertainment goes public, its valuation can already be ranked among the top three Huaguo Entertainment companies.

The reason why it is not No. [-] is because Qingchen Entertainment is still a film and television production company after all, and has not mastered its own theaters and distribution channels. If it can open up distribution channels, then Qingchen Entertainment will become Huaguo The largest entertainment company is also the most profitable one.

Of course, Gu Chenfeng didn't plan to take his company public, he didn't need that kind of money, and he wouldn't give anyone with a heart the opportunity to eat away at his company.

"Mr. Gu, the land in the gold market is not very expensive now, why don't we buy a piece of land and build the building ourselves?" At this time, Zhuo Le suggested.

Although he does not earn as much as Gu Chenfeng, he is also worth billions now. The "Wandering Planet" he invested in before made him a lot of money, and the movies that Gu Chenfeng shot after him, in addition to the basic salary Afterwards, Gu Chenfeng gave him some share, so the accumulated wealth is also very scary.

Hearing Zhuo Le's proposal, Gu Chenfeng thought about it, and felt that it was feasible. After all, buying a building built by others might not be what he wanted, and it would need to be redecorated, so it would be better to rebuild it. One building.

So he looked at Zhang Qingqing and Liu Kuang, and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think Director Zhuo's proposal is okay, but the plots in Gold City are basically far away from the city center, and it will be difficult to solve the problem of accommodation for employees." Liu Kuang said objectively.

The relocation of a company involves the lives of thousands of employees. In the place where they are now, many employees have rented houses nearby, so commuting is relatively close.

Especially people in the animation department like Li Mu and Liu Haiquan, they all bought a house nearby, in order to be closer to the place where they work.

If the company hastily moved to another place, the accommodation problem of these employees must be solved first, otherwise part of the employees will be lost.

At this time, Zhang Qingqing also said: "That's true. I think many people in the company live nearby with their families, especially those with children. The children go to school nearby. If we move to the suburbs, their children will go to school." It would be inconvenient, and they might be forced to leave.”

The educational facilities in the suburbs are definitely not as good as those in the city center, and now nearly [-]% of the company's employees are married and have families, and most of the cadres above the middle level have children.

If the distance is too far, it will take them more than an hour to drive back and forth to work, and a lot of time will be wasted on the way to and from get off work every day. If they move with their families, it will become a big problem for their children to go to school.

"How about finding a piece of land closer to the city center?" Gu Chenfeng asked again.

In fact, after hearing this question from Liu Kuang and Zhang Qingqing, Gu Chenfeng himself thought about it seriously, and it really was like this.

If it were him, he would definitely be unwilling to waste an hour or two on the way to and from get off work every day. If it is a choice between moving and continuing to work in the company, or giving up the current job for the sake of the child, most parents will choose the latter.

As a father, Gu Chenfeng can understand it very well, so he wanted to find land to build a building a little closer to the city center.

After all, these employees of Qingchen Entertainment are very outstanding in terms of loyalty to the company and work ability, especially some middle managers.

If the company loses these loyal employees at once, it will be fatal to the entire company.

Liu Kuang said: "There is basically no vacant land near the urban area, and even if there is, the area is not large. It involves the demolition of some old houses. This is a very vast project."

"This matter, Sister Zhang, Minister Liu, please pay attention first to see if there is a suitable land, you can consider taking it, as long as it is closer to the urban area, so that the company's employees can take care of themselves while working. family."

After pondering for a while, Gu Chenfeng continued: "As for the demolition, we should budget the cost and discuss it at that time. If possible, we will build two more buildings. At that time, it will be considered as a gift for those who have made outstanding contributions. Staff benefits."

"A company is like a big ocean-going ship. Only when the interior is settled properly can we sail into the deep blue sea!"

Afterwards, Gu Chenfeng and the others conducted a series of discussions on the construction of the building by the company.

The basic policy is that it is close to the urban area and the cost is controllable.

After discussing these matters, everyone started to act on their own.

Liu Kuang was in charge of finding the land, Zhang Qingqing was in charge of setting up the music department and promoting the album, and Zhuo Le was in charge of the post-production of "Spider-Man".

As for Gu Chenfeng?
He took Lu Yun and the crew of "Ode to Joy" to prepare to start filming this TV series.

The five heroines in this TV series are still the ones that Gu Chenfeng and Lu Yun decided together before.

Andy is played by Liu Tao; Fan Shengmei is played by a powerful actress from Yang Mi Company, named Jiang Ruoxi; Qu Xiaoxiao is played by Xia Wanxin, Qiu Yingying is played by Yang Zi, and Xiao Guanguan is Played by Su Xiaoyu.

As for some of the male actors, they are all well-known and powerful actors in the circle.

Since this is Gu Chenfeng's first time as a director, he still held a launch conference under Zhang Qingqing's suggestion.

When media reporters learned of the news, they rushed to the scene.

You know, Gu Chenfeng has always been active in the music scene during the past period. Everyone thought that he would not enter the film and television industry for the time being, even when he was interviewed by reporters after the Oscar awards ceremony.

Gu Chenfeng himself said at the time that after finishing the song matter in a short period of time, he will still shoot some film and television works.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that this short period of time is so short. Less than two months have passed, and Gu Chenfeng is about to start shooting a new work.

And according to the news revealed on the Internet, Gu Chenfeng's filming this time is actually an urban-themed TV series, so everyone rushed to the launch conference.

This time the host was Zhang Qingqing, which made the media reporters a little relieved. At least Zhang Qingqing would not be like Zhuo Le's LSP, who would only choose some beautiful female reporters to ask questions at each press conference.

After some introductions, it was finally time for reporters to ask questions.

A reporter stood up and asked Gu Chenfeng: "Hello, Mr. Gu, you said on Weibo that you have prepared your first album, and now you are starting to shoot a TV series. Is your album ready?" ?”

This issue is not only concerned by media reporters, but also by many netizens. After all, as a top domestic actor, Gu Chenfeng is going to release a music album, and netizens are very concerned about it.

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "It's ready. This new album has a total of twelve songs, nine of which are new songs. As for why we start filming a new TV series now, it's because this matter is It was planned before me."

The reporter asked again: "Mr. Gu, may I ask why you chose a TV series for your first work as a director? After you debuted, you have starred in a TV series. Why didn't you shoot a movie?"

Hearing this question, Gu Chenfeng thought for a while and answered: "Actually, whether it's a TV series or a movie, they are all film and television works. As for why we didn't choose to make a movie, it's because our Sunny Entertainment Company has already developed in the movie field. Not bad, but I haven’t dabbled in the field of TV dramas yet.”

"Everyone knows that there are not many newcomers in our company. If a newcomer wants to go to the big screen, he must at least perform well on the small screen before he can go to the big screen. That's why I chose to shoot TV dramas."

The reporter asked: "Then Mr. Gu, do you mean that this TV series is filmed for the purpose of cultivating newcomers?"

"Yes!" Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "But don't worry, everyone, I will never shoot myself in the foot. Whether it's a TV series or a movie, if it doesn't meet my requirements, I will definitely Will not let it meet the audience."

Everyone believes in Gu Chenfeng's words, after all, every work of Gu Chenfeng has never disappointed.

Moreover, the scripts written by Gu Chenfeng before, whether they are movies or web dramas, are very classic. The small web drama "Love Strategy" broke many records of domestic web dramas.

So everyone believes that the script of the TV series written by Gu Chenfeng this time will definitely not be bad, and his acting skills have been recognized by movie fans all over the world. With his director and supervision, there is absolutely no problem with the quality of the TV series.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Gu, this time I see that you have chosen the only two actresses in the company to participate in the performance, and there are also actresses such as Liu Tao, Jiang Ruoxi, and Yang Zi. May I ask if "Ode to Joy" is a multi-part movie?" Is it a TV show with a heroine?"

Gu Chenfeng replied: "To be precise, this is a TV series with female protagonists. All five of them are female protagonists. The entire TV series basically revolves around these five female protagonists."

The reporter asked: "I saw that Mr. Le Ruochen and Mr. Wang Kai are both there. They are all powerful actors. May I ask who is the leading actor?"

"I have already said that this TV series is based on five female protagonists, so neither Mr. Le Ruochen nor Mr. Wang Kai are male protagonists, and there is no male protagonist in this TV series." Gu Chenfeng replied.

Another reporter asked: "Then Teacher Gu, will you play the male role in this TV series?"

As soon as this question came up, all the media reporters focused on Gu Chenfeng.

One must know that there is a huge difference between whether or not Gu Chenfeng plays the role in a TV series. There is no way that Gu Chenfeng's influence in the film and television industry is so amazing.

Gu Chenfeng smiled and replied: "It will definitely be, this TV series is the first work I will write, direct and act in, and I will definitely star in it."

At this time, a female reporter who was pointed by Zhang Qingqing stood up and asked Gu Chenfeng again: "Mr. Gu, when will your album be released? Now many of your movie fans and music fans are looking forward to your album's release." .”

Gu Chenfeng thought for a while, and replied: "I will inform you of the specific time, and it is not convenient to disclose it at the moment."

The female reporter asked further: "Mr. Gu, now your Weibo fans have exceeded 6000 million, which can be called the No. 1 traffic in China. Many celebrities will set up their own fan clubs, and some even exceed one hundred and sixty million fans." Thousands, when do you plan to start your own fan club?"

Hearing this question, Gu Chenfeng smiled and replied: "I remember that I should have a fan club, and I won't set up any fan club specifically. What is the purpose of some people setting up a fan club?"

"It's nothing more than to encourage fans to buy my own film and television works or music albums, to create an illusion that I am very popular, and then let the outside world think how awesome I am."

"I saw someone reveal on the Internet that someone said in a group that fans have to buy [-] of his albums to continue to carry them in that group, or else he will be replaced."

"At that time, I was thinking, but all the so-called idol stars who can feel this kind of thing count as one, and they are all millennia... ten thousand years..."

"Of course, this matter involves a rational issue of chasing stars. Anyway, I really hate the word worship, because worship means irrationality. Although I have a fan club, you can ask. My own None of them are in that group, and I have never asked fans to book the show, or buy so many of my works."

"On the contrary, I remember that when "Iron Man" became the world's box office champion, some domestic movie fans said that they would book the show. At that time, I strictly prohibited this matter on Weibo. I hope everyone can like my film and television works and music. works, but I don't want them to worship me as a person."

"Because I'm an actor, and of course I'm a singer now. My role is to bring them good film and music works. They just need to like my works, and whether it's film or music, they can watch it if they like it." , don’t watch it if you don’t like it.”

"Don't watch movies you don't like to watch or buy albums you don't like to listen to in order to support so-called idols. That's immature and extremely stupid behavior."

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's long speech, whether it was actors, media reporters, or even crew members and passers-by, they all gave warm applause.

Although Gu Chenfeng's words are very offensive, they are extremely positive, and they are completely different from those celebrities who encourage fans to book their own movies and buy their albums.

Of course, Gu Chenfeng hates traffic stars, not for a day or two, but everyone was a little surprised, Gu Chenfeng actually said it face to face at the press conference this time.
