China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 196 The outbreak of Xu Shangao
At the same time that "Cohabitation in Time and Space" was announced, the male and female protagonists and directors also began their variety show journey.

In 2007, the total national movie box office was 33 billion, of which the box office output of Yanjing, Shanghai, and Guangdong Province all exceeded 3 billion.

Guangdong Province leads the way with 4.35 million, making it the country's largest poll bank.

In addition, the box office output of Zhejiang, Sichuan, Jiangsu, and Hubei provinces exceeded [-] million, and they belong to the second echelon of ticket-rich provinces.

Therefore, these seven provinces (municipalities) are also key areas for publicity.

Lu Yuan, or perhaps Xingchen Media, has a good relationship with Magic City TV and Yanjing TV. Not to mention variety shows, even TV drama purchases can be negotiated directly.

Star Media's second TV series "Twinkle Twinkle Star" has been produced. If there are no accidents, this drama will be piloted on Yanjing Local Channel and Magic City Local Channel.

Generally speaking, if you are not very confident about the quality of the series, the local station will usually premiere it on a certain city TV station.

However, "Twinkle Twinkle Star" was piloted in municipalities directly under the Central Government, just like Fairy Sword, which premiered on the Shancheng TV Film and Video Channel and the Magic City TV Drama Channel.

The two shows have a lot in common, neither has a real big name.

When "Sword and Sword 1" premiered, Hu Ge was still a little transparent, and the heroine Liu Yifei was only slightly famous.

The situation in "Twinkle Twinkle Star" is similar. The leading actor Qiao Zhenyu is considered a second-tier actor, but he has a masterpiece that makes him break out of the industry.

The heroine Tan Songyun is a complete newcomer.

However, "Twinkle Twinkle Star" is not the type of show where people carry the show, but the show supports the people.

The theme of time travel is novel enough, and the quality of the TV series is also very high. Although the picture quality is not as good as that of the movies, in the field of TV series, it is definitely in the first echelon.

Star Media’s goal is to only produce high-quality dramas.

Therefore, when it comes to investment in shooting, Star Media will not abandon quality in order to save money.

The cost of a single episode of "Twinkle Twinkle Star" is as high as 50, with a total of 24 episodes and a total investment of 1200 million.

With this money saved, it would be enough to film a costume drama.

But it's just a modern drama, and there are no A-list actors on board.

The combined remuneration of the male and female protagonists is less than a fraction of the total investment. The remaining 1000 million was basically spent on filming and post-production.

You get what you pay for, a high investment in exchange for high quality.

……

12 month 5 number.

The creative team of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" was a guest on Yanjing TV's flagship program "The Best Scene".

The producer of this program is Enlight Media, and the host is also Xie Nan, an old acquaintance.

Coincidentally, the guest in the previous episode of "Best Scene" was Xu Song.

At the end of last month, Xu Song's new album "Custom" officially started charting. As soon as the first title song "Why Not" was released online, it quickly appeared on the new song charts of major platforms.

At the same time, the on-demand rates of major offline radio stations continue to soar.

In the new issue of the TOP20 weekly list of Chinese songs, "Why Not" ranks No. 2, second only to "Marshmallow" by Supreme Lihe.

The third and fourth are "Painting Heart" by Zhang Liangying and "You Are Not Really Happy" by Wu Yuetian respectively.

The first official album can surpass Zhang Liangying and Wu Yuetian. Xu Song's music career has a bright future.

12 month 6 number.

Starlight Records struck while the iron was hot, and the second title song "Chengfu" was officially launched. At the same time, major video stores across the country, Joyo.com, and Dangdang.com also launched "Custom" simultaneously.

Xu Song at this time is completely different from Xu Song in the original timeline.

According to the original timeline, when Xu Song produced "Custom", one person took over the writing, arranging, mixing and other tasks, and there was no announcement.When the album is released, it can only be sold through personal websites. Most fans who want to buy the album can only choose to go to an ATM machine to transfer money, bank transfer, and then send an email to confirm the receipt information.

However, even so, "Custom" sold 1 copies in one week.

Today, Xu Song, who is backed by Starlight Records, can directly log onto the home page of the category pages of Dangdang.com and Joyo.com for the pre-sale of the album "Custom".

As of today, the pre-sale volume of the physical album "Custom" has exceeded 50000 copies.

Looking at all the new singers, Xu Song's appeal ranks first, even compared with some veteran singers.

In addition, QQ Music also provided a recommendation banner on the homepage on the album release day.

"Custom" was recommended on the homepage of QQ Music, partly because of the quality of the album, and partly because of Boss Lu's investment.

After learning that one of the investors in Riot Games was Lu Yuan, Liu Chiping, head of strategic investment at Tencent, immediately contacted Lu Yuan.

When he contacted Lu Yuan, he didn't talk about any specific business, just to keep in touch with each other.

At least within Riot Games, it would be best for both sides to be on the same side.

In fact, the reason why Tencent invested in Riot Games is not that it is very optimistic about this game company. Riot Games is just one of the targets of Tencent's wide net.

If it was particularly promising, Tengxun wouldn't just invest more than 200 million US dollars.

More than 200 million US dollars, for Tengxun, can only be regarded as small money.

Even if it fails, it won't have much impact.

With the relationship of co-investors, Lu Yuan asked QQ Music for a home page recommendation, which took no effort at all.

Although doing so would require some favors, Lu Yuan does not object to cooperation with Tengxun.

Just don’t mention game endorsements.

Everything else is easy to mention.

12 month 9 number.

The new album sales weekly list is announced.

"Custom" leads all the singers on the list with 18354 copies.

Ranked second is Supreme Lihe's new album "Arrival", which sold just over 8000 copies in a single week. There is a full [-] sales difference between the second and first place.

According to Starlight Records' internal shipment data, "Custom" shipped more than 30 copies in the first week of its release.

This achievement is not inferior to those of famous first-line singers.

Wu Yuetian's new album "Poetry of Post-Youth" has only sold like this.

Therefore, in terms of physical record sales, "Custom" can be said to be a great success.

In addition to the physical version, "Custom" also performs very well on major platforms. In the first week of the album's release, QQ Music's listening volume exceeded 1000 million times.

Although there is not much money to be made from this, Starlight Records does not expect the [online music platform] to be profitable.

This area is still in the stage of losing money and making money.

In the field of digital music, mobile music (SP side) is where the real money is made.

On the day the "Customized" physical album was launched, Hurray also launched three title songs simultaneously on the ringtone terminal. Because of Boss Lu's relationship, "Customized" gained a lot of exposure resources.

"Why Not" was downloaded more than 70 times in a single week.
