China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 142
Originally, Li Mu planned to just invite Zhang Jingying to sing a song at the movie premiere, but his assistant Chen Zhixi said, since Zhang Jingying was invited, why not just make the performance more influential?
Li Mu asked the other party to talk about it in detail. Chen Zhixi suggested to hold a "Inception Zhang Jingying Concert Tour" and visit all the four major ticket warehouse cities in the country. If each concert can attract 3 to [-] people, then how many One concert can reach more than [-] people.

This is much more influential than simply holding a premiere ceremony.

If we can cooperate with Youku, Tudou and other video sites as well as major Internet portals to post the video materials of the concert on the Internet, then the influence of a concert can be amplified hundreds of times and thousands of times.

Li Mu thinks he can give it a try. The key is that it really doesn’t cost much. He even spent 1.2 million US dollars. What’s the difference of 500 million?
Besides, it might not even cost 500 million.

Zhang Jingying's current quotation for a concert is 150 million. After including hardware, venue rent, publicity expenses, approval fees, etc., 300 million is enough.

If four concerts are held across the country, the cost will be 1200 million.

However, the box office of Zhang Liangying's previous concerts sold for 400 million yuan. In addition to the sales of peripherals, it is possible that a movie promotional concert will still be profitable.

Since the plan was proposed by Chen Zhixi, Li Mu simply handed over the matter to her.

So in late December 08, the country's first "Inception Zhang Liangying Concert Tour" officially kicked off at the Beijing Workers' Stadium.

The first song in the concert is "Legend of Hungry Wolf" by the song god Zhang Xueyou.

With Zhang Liangying's extremely penetrating "Wow", it instantly detonated the audience.

The fans are boiling!

No one could have imagined that Zhang Jingying could sing the song "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" by the god Zhang Xue with such a bursting effect.

Almost everyone shouted loudly in their hearts: This time the ticket is worth it!

Then Zhang Liangying said to the nearly [-] audience in the audience: "The next song is a song that everyone has never heard before. This is a new song, which was created by director Li Mu specially for the movie "Inception". promotional song. Next, I will dedicate this song "Freedom Like a Dream" to everyone, I hope you like it."

That's right, Li Mu started copying songs. He went through all the songs in his mind that were related to "dream", and then took them out again.

As the accompaniment sounded, Zhang Jingying sang slowly:

【Will you still miss me, my dearest friend...】

With Zhang Jingying's affectionate singing, the clips of the movie "Inception" began to play on the big screen behind her. The content mainly focused on the past of the protagonist Cobb and his wife.

The audience in the audience listened very carefully, and some people began to rate the idol's new song from the bottom of their hearts.

"It sounds very good. I didn't expect Director Li Mu to write songs."

"Director Li Mu can write songs of course! Have you heard "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"? It's so good!"

"Is that the song written by Li Mu?"

"Of course!"

"There is also "Ordinary Road", which I have been playing as a single for a long time."

""The Ordinary Road" made me cry."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingying sang the climax of the song:
【I want to be free like a dream

strong as the sky

on this winding road

Experience the meaning of life...]

"it is good!"

"Awesome!"

"This song can catch fire!"

"Not bad, Liangying has another masterpiece!"

"What's the name of this song?"

""Free Like a Dream"! Li Mu wrote it specially for promoting the movie. I don't know what the movie is like, but this song is really awesome!"

"Looking at the promotional video, it seems to be pretty good!"

"I really worked hard to promote the movie, and I can go to the theater to support it."

When Zhang Jingying finally sang the song "Freedom Like a Dream", the audience erupted into intense applause in an instant. Many fans stood up and applauded wildly. The atmosphere of the scene was completely lifted.

Originally, when everyone came to the idol's concert, they expected to be content to hear the idol sing their favorite songs, but now the idol clearly gave everyone a big surprise!

The opening song "Legend of Hungry Wolf" amazed the audience, and then an original song brought fans a great surprise.

When the audience finally calmed down, Zhang Jingying said again:

"Some time ago, director Li Mu asked me, do you think it's okay to use concerts to promote movies? When I heard that it was a business, of course I said: yes!"

Speaking of this, the fans under the stage smiled knowingly, and then I heard Zhang Jingying continue:

"I told Director Li at the time that it would be fine to combine the name of the movie with the name of the concert, and to emphasize the movie when promoting the concert? For example, the poster of the concert highlights the elements of the movie? But, Li Mu The director said that this is not enough! He also wants to add elements of his movies to the songs I sing live. Then I can only spread my hands and say to him: 'It's easy, you go write songs!'”

"As a result, a few days later, director Li Mu found me with a few songs related to the title of the movie, so the next song will be a new song, a song written and composed by director Li Mu, specially for the movie "Pirates" "My Dream" created by Dream Space!"

【Keep going forward, in a crazy world, facing the pain and letting go of all the dreams in your eyes...】

With Zhang Jingying's affectionate singing, a new "Inception" promotional video began to play on the big screen behind her.

【Let the light refract the tear-wet pupils
Reflecting the rainbow that I most want to have in my heart...]

Fans originally thought... how could it be so easy to write a classic song?

I thought that I would be very happy if I could hear a brand-new classic song in a concert, but how could everyone have imagined... How could anyone have imagined that the idol's second original song would be even more explosive? !
"It sounds great, doesn't it?"

"The lyrics are so touching, aren't they?"

"The 1680 yuan concert ticket is worth it, isn't it?!"

"Is this the rhythm of witnessing history?"

Almost all fans instinctively felt the power of this second original song. This song will definitely become a hit and become one of Liangying's most important masterpieces!

Almost everyone has this idea out of the blue.

As Zhang Jingying finally sang the last syllable, all the fans at the scene were completely excited, even completely crazy.

"Conferred God! Conferred God! Conferred God!"

"Good song!"

At first, only a few fans yelled, but gradually all the fans began to speak in unison.

"Pretty shadow, I love you!"

"Thank you Director Li, thank you for the movie "Inception", long live the good song! Long live "My Dream"!"

"Long live the beautiful shadow!"

"I haven't heard enough, let's do it again!"

"Come again... come again... come again..."

Zhang Jingying gasped and said, "You haven't heard enough of "My Dream", right?"

"Correct!"

Countless movie fans spoke in unison.

"Then let me see how many people haven't heard enough! Raise your hands, please?"

Brush brush!
In an instant, countless fans began to wave their hands.

"Okay, I saw it and heard it, I saw and heard your love for me and this song! Then next, the second time of "My Dream" is for you!"

"it is good!"

As soon as she finished speaking, countless audience members started cheering.

However, some fans think that Liangying should sing other songs first.

Yes, these people also like this song "My Dream" very much, but it is not very good to sing it twice in a row.

Wouldn't it be nice to sing again when the concert is about to end?

At this time, Zhang Jingying finally officially started singing - the second time of the song "My Dream"!

【I will run, I will climb, I will soar...】

"What?"

"what?"

"what's the situation?"

"This is... the English version?"

"It sounds better, doesn't it?"

"Fuck! This is going to be crazy tonight, awesome!"

"Nice!"

【The past is everything we were don't...】

With the arrival of the climax of the English version, almost all the fans at the scene were completely shocked.

"You told me that this is a song that a film director thought up on the spur of the moment for film promotion?"

"This fucking guy is clearly a musical genius, okay?"

"Letting director Li Mu make a movie is simply the biggest loss for the Chinese music industry!"

"When Li Mu became famous in the film industry, it was doomed for the decline of the Chinese music industry."

"Fuck, I was shocked by Liang Ying first tonight, and then I was shocked by Director Li Mu!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, post online immediately—tonight, "Inception Zhang Liangying's Concert Tour" at the Workers' Stadium is going crazy!"

"Tomorrow's Chinese music scene will be littered with corpses!"

"One concert, one amazing cover song, two amazing original songs, including an English version - the English version of "My Dream" is simply amazing!"

"What should I do if I suddenly become very interested in the movie "Inception"? Do you have the same thing?"

"Yes, count me in! The movie ticket is only a few dozen yuan, even if the movie is rubbish, you have to go to see it! Director Li wrote such an amazing song for Liangying, we must support Director Li's movie!"

"Fengshen... Fengshen..."

"There is no one of the most explosive concerts in China, and there are constant surprises throughout the whole process!"

When Zhang Jingying finally sang the song "Dream It Possible", the fans in the audience could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and everyone shouted crazily.

Zhang Jingying looked at the fans who were getting crazy under the stage, and she was full of admiration for Li Mu, the boyfriend of her best friend.

It's really hard to think that these songs were all created by him in such a short period of time.

After the fans in the audience finally regained their sanity, and the Gongshen gymnasium finally calmed down again, Zhang Jingying said again:
"The next song is still an original song, and the author of the song is also directed by Li Mu. And his purpose of composing this song is also to promote his new movie. So the movie "Inception" When Space" is released, everyone will buy tickets to support Director Li, right?"

"Yes!" The audience said in unison.

Zhang Jingying continued: "Next, I will give you the song "Victory"."

This is a true divine comedy, and it is also the most influential song of "Hell is Closer". Its release date is April 2015, 4.

"Victory" is one of the top and epic battle songs in the world. The shocking female voice and chorus, and the majestic melody are enough to conquer the hearts of all listeners who hear it.

For this song, Li Mu specially invited a world-class band from the United States.

As the foreigner waved his baton, a piece of music with extraordinary momentum floated out.

Very nice, with an inexplicable sense of historical weight. .

At the same time, all the audience are waiting, waiting for Liangying's singing.

at last.

"what……"

Zhang Liangying finally started singing.

That's right, there is only one "ah" in the female voice part of the whole song, but it is this "ah" that almost conquers all its listeners.

With the passionate performance of the band, Zhang Jingying's passionate and professional performance, coupled with the majestic movie clips on the big screen behind, the 2-person artificial body hall became completely silent at this moment.

At this time, what was playing on the big screen was the third trailer of "Inception", and it was also the most majestic and shocking one among the three trailers.Li Mu edited almost all the shocking scenes in the movie into this version of the trailer.

The scene of the end of the world in Lost Land is full of ruined cities; the scene of Liu Yifei falling from the collapsed building; the scene of the snow mountain castle explosion and so on.

"what……"

Zhang Jingying continued to sing hard, and the trailer continued to play, while the audience at the scene were all quietly watching and listening to all this.

When Zhang Jingying's singing finally gradually dissipated, and when the band's music finally gradually stopped, the nearly 2 audience at the scene broke out collectively as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Everyone was applauding desperately, everyone's faces were filled with unspeakable excitement, and everyone was clapping desperately.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, the audience at the scene began to seriously discuss the song with only one "ah" throughout the whole process, discussing the magnificent scene from "Inception" on the big screen. trailer.

"Brilliant!"

"It's awesome!"

"I'm stupid, I can't think of any other adjective other than awesome."

"Crazy killing, crazy killing, Liangying is crazy killing tonight!"

"The Battle of Zhang Jingying's Conferred Gods! Director Li Mu's cross-border massacre of the Chinese music scene!"

"Looking at the trailer, it looks very good. It will be released on January 1th, so I must buy a ticket then!"

"Those who are capable can do anything! Director Li Mu is unrivaled in writing songs in China!"

"I feel that Liangying's status in the Chinese music scene will reach its peak after tonight!"

"Fuck, these songs were written by Director Li Mu to promote the movie? Almost every capital is a divine comedy! How did that sentence come from? Since ancient times, bad movies come out of the divine comedy! Suddenly I am not optimistic about "Inception" "What should I do?"

"Then let me ask you, even if "Inception" is a bad movie, are the songs tonight worth our money to support?"

"value!"

"Where's director Li Mu? Is he at the scene tonight?"

"Li Mu... Li Mu... Li Mu...】

Zhang Jingying said at the right time: "Everyone really wants to see Director Li Mu, right?"

"Correct!"

"Is it really there?"

"I want to marry Director Li!"

"I want to give birth to Director Li!"

"That can't be done!" Zhang Jingying said hastily, "Because not only Director Li is here tonight, but also his girlfriend Liu Yifei is also there!"

"Understood, I can't give birth tonight, the eldest wife is here, but I can do it tomorrow night!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Brilliant!"

Zhang Jingying said again: "Then now we invite Director Li Mu, who writes the best novels in the film industry, and the best lyrics and music in the novel world, and his girlfriend Liu Yifei to play!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Mu led Liu Yifei onto the stage.

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Mu."

"I'm Liu Yifei."

After the two introduced themselves, Li Mu began to introduce his new movie "Inception" to the audience. The audience asked him and Liu Yifei many love-related questions, and the two answered them one by one.

And after the interaction between the two parties lasted for [-] minutes, the audience finally asked the two to sing a song.

"Come on... come on..."

Li Mu and Liu Yifei looked at each other, then smiled at each other, Li Mu lowered his head and said, "How about it, let me say that singing tonight is definitely inevitable!"

However, Li Mu and Liu Yifei, who had been prepared for a long time, were naturally not afraid, and they readily agreed to the audience's request.

Of course it is another original song, and it is also an original song sung by a male and female duet.

Only listening to the sound of the accompaniment on the scene, Li Mu first picked up the microphone and sang:
【Waiting for you under the camphor tree that escaped the rain...】

Finally, the climax part is sung by a male and female chorus:
【I love you to the whole world, I just want to be with you...】

After the climax, Liu Yifei sang solo:
【Want to hold hands, want to hug. 】

The last two chorus:
[I want to love you. 】

Recently, the hottest couple in the country is the combination of Li Mu and Liu Yifei. Now it’s hard to see them singing songs together live. If you think that the audience can be satisfied by listening to only one song, it only shows that you are really very happy. Innocent.

Not surprisingly, after the two sang the song "The World Proclamates Love You", the audience still insisted on letting the two perform another song.

But obviously Li Mu and Liu Yifei were still well prepared for this.

Then tonight's fifth original song—if the English version of "My Dream" is a new song, it will be the sixth original song tonight, which officially debuted.

Just listen to Li Mu singing first:
【Give you a CD of the past, listen to our love at that time...】

That's right, it is the classic male and female duet song "Because of Love" sung by the queen Wang Fei and Chen Yixun.

[Because of love, you will not be sad easily
Li Mu: So everything looks happy
Liu Yifei: Because of love, simple growth
Li Mu: I can still be crazy about you at any time...]

That's right, Li Mu meant to use his relationship with Liu Yifei to hype the movie.

Why is it that whenever a movie is released, there are often rumors of a love affair between the hero and heroine?
Because this trick is really easy to use!
Because this trick can really increase the box office and increase popularity!

Li Mu and Liu Yifei are real couples, so what's wrong with a little hype?
Make money, it's not shabby!
If the previous audience was more moved by Zhang Jingying's singing, then the current audience is more moved by the duet of Li Mu and Liu Yifei.

I was moved not only by the love between the two on stage, but also by my own similar emotional experiences.

When the song ended, almost all the audience stood up spontaneously and applauded enthusiastically, but the boiling energy and the crazy atmosphere of the audience were far less than when Zhang Liangying's song ended just now.

But in terms of the impact on the mood of the audience, the chorus of Li Mu and Liu Yifei is not weak at all.

Many audience members were applauding while being shocked by the various emotions brought by the song.

Wave after wave, round after round, wave after wave.

After the two chorus songs, Li Mu and Liu Yifei once again warmly invited everyone to watch their new movie "Inception". The fans burst into laughter.

Then Li Mu and Liu Yifei stepped down, and Zhang Jingying came on stage. When the three of them passed by, Zhang Jingying gave them a thumbs up.

After Zhang Jingying sang a few more of her masterpieces, it was finally time for the last song. At this time, the audience asked Zhang Jingying, Li Mu and Liu Yifei to sing a song together, and the most popular song was that song "Because of love".

"The three of us, singing "Because of Love"? Isn't it appropriate?!" Zhang Jingying asked in surprise.

"Suitable!"

The audience was almost in unison!
"Then I won't be a 1000-watt light bulb?" Zhang Liangying half-jokingly said.

"You are the most (bright) beautiful tonight!" Countless viewers shouted loudly.

……

The next day, the live video material of "Inception Zhang Jingying Tour Concert" began to sweep the entire Chinese Internet world, and even major TV stations, even CCTV, made special reports on it.

CCTV even specifically commented on this cross-border interactive mode that combines concerts and movie promotions, and officially named it "movie-singing linkage"!
All in all, "Inception: Zhang Jingying Tour Concert" was a blockbuster and achieved amazing results. It is conservatively estimated that at least tens of millions of netizens have learned about this concert of a god-level concert through various means.

Next, "Inception Zhang Jingying Tour Concert" was held in Yangcheng and Goose City respectively, and the last stop of the concert was scheduled to be in Shanghai.

In the last match, Shanghai Metro Station, the audience unexpectedly reached 7 people.

Out of circle.

Not only Zhang Liangying is out of the circle, but Li Mu and Liu Yifei, who sang two couple duet songs on the spot, are also out of the circle. The most important thing is that the movie "Inception" has also been out of the circle.

Many people who have no habit of watching movies at all know this movie because of this.

It can be said that Li Mu's promotional campaign for this movie has completely shocked the domestic music industry and the film and television industry.

Especially the film and television industry, they were simply speechless in shock.

Especially Huayi Brothers Company among them.

Zhang Liangying was originally an artist of Huayi Brothers. Originally, the company's "You Are the One" was about to be released, but her artist's most powerful help in film promotion was dedicated to Li Mu's "Inception"?
right?Huayi Brothers made money from these four concerts, but it is conservatively estimated that 5000 to [-] million people have learned about the movie "Inception" through these concerts, right?

If this kind of publicity effect is transferred to "Don't Disturb", how much more box office will it get!
　Thanks to "Zen Li" for the tip, and thanks to "boring middle-aged man" for the tip.The number of words promised is not enough, so I will continue to return tomorrow.

　　The first publicity method of movie-singing linkage in China is Director Feng's "Old Paoer".
