Chapter 96 Flying Together
  That night.

Wang Shu received a text message on his cell phone.

"Director Wang, happy New Year, "The Tuner" is very interesting." - Liu Yifei.

Wang Shu took a look at the content of the text message and immediately replied: "Happy New Year. I also went to the theater to watch "The Story of Po" and it was a good performance."

"Huh? Director Wang also went to the cinema to watch "Abao's Story"?" Liu Yifei quickly replied in surprise.

"Abao's Story" is starring Nie Yuan and Liu Tao, with special appearances by Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming. It was released on January 2006, 1. It tells the story of the dog sister Jiajia who ran away from home and the well-trained dog Abao. After going through many difficulties and dangers, Jiajia was rescued from dog dealers with the help of stray dogs.

Liu Yifei plays Sissi in this movie.

Of course, Wang Shu never went to the cinema to watch it. He had only seen some video clips online before, and happened to know that Liu Yifei had a cameo in it.

Seeing Liu Yifei's straightforward inquiry, he had no choice but to give a pretentious reply and change the subject by sending a message, "Of course, after all, "Abao's Story" and "The Tuner" are on the same schedule, so he paid attention to it. By the way, You said before that you were practicing your voice, how is it now?"

"Still training, there should be some action in the second half of the year." Liu Yifei answered truthfully by sending a message.

"Release an album?" Wang Shu asked knowingly.

"Well, an album should be released." Liu Yifei replied after reading Wang Shu's message while holding her phone.

"Come on!" Wang Shu encouraged.

"Yeah, yeah, thank you, Director Wang, I will try my best." Liu Yifei replied.

Even if it was just a text message, Wang Shu could feel the vitality of 18-year-old Liu Yifei. He couldn't help but send a message: "Actually, I can also write songs and sing."

"Ah? Director Wang is going to release an album?" Liu Yifei was surprised. This is big news.

"." Wang Shu originally just wanted to show off, but he didn't expect Liu Yifei's brain circuit to make her ask this question. Wang Shu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to release an album.

It doesn't matter if you are not good at singing. As long as you have a million sound cards and don't hold concerts or perform live performances, there will be no problem.

For example, Xu Liang, one of the three giants of QQ Music, is not good at singing and rarely performs live.

It's not that he doesn't want to be on-site, it's that his on-site performance is really bad.

Another example is Yang Mi, whose song "Love's Offering" can become popular all over the country with just a tune.

and.

There are so many actors releasing albums this year. What’s wrong with a director releasing albums?
  What's more, he has also acted in idol dramas and can be regarded as an actor.
  So, an actor who can’t sing is not a good director?

"Well, I have these ideas and are still considering them." Wang Shu thought for a while and replied.

His current idea is not that he wants to release an album, but that those classic songs that have not yet appeared are all about money!
  Let’s not talk about the current income, but when the copyright era comes in the future, relying on the copyright of songs, you can make money every day.

Therefore, he was moved.

Thinking of the Yishu Film and Television Company in hand, it is completely logical to open up music-related businesses.

"Really? When does Director Wang plan to release an album?" Seeing that Wang Shu seemed to be serious, Liu Yifei became more and more curious and asked quickly.

Wang Shu thought about it and replied: "I should release a single first to test the waters, and then make next plans based on the situation."

"Oh, I understand." Liu Yifei replied first, and then replied, "Didn't Director Wang tell me before that if he didn't develop well in the film and television industry and pursue music, he would be picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon? Hehe, Director Wang Why are you here to join in the fun?"

"Haha, this is not just a movie with a box office of over 100 million, there is a lot to think about." Wang Shu replied half-truthfully, "Besides, I told you before, now the Internet, film and television, music A booming time.”

"Well, any pig can take off."

Liu Yifei was vindictive and couldn't help but send a message asking, "So, Director Wang is saying... is she that pig?"

Wang Shu had long known that Liu Yifei was good at speaking "uprightly", so he immediately replied: "It doesn't matter whether she is a pig or not, as long as she can take off."

"Haha, then I wish Director Wang an early takeoff." Liu Yifei pressed the keyboard of her phone and typed messages.

"Haha, let's fly together." Wang Shu replied after reading the message Liu Yifei sent.

"Yeah, let's fly together, let's fly together with Director Wang." Liu Yifei read the text message Wang Shu sent and immediately understood its meaning.

This means that both of them will be able to sell albums in the future.

"No more chatting, I still have things to do." Wang Shu replied after reading Liu Yifei's message.

"Yeah, let's fly together." Liu Yifei replied, even to the end, she still didn't forget about the couple's trip.

"." Wang Shu glanced at Liu Yifei's reply and almost stopped.

After exchanging text messages with Liu Yifei, Wang Shu made himself a cup of tea, then sat in front of the computer and started "creating".

In this era, as long as you are in the spotlight, even a pig can take off.

When the wind dissipates, those without strength will soon be beaten back to their original shape.

However, Wang Shu is different, he has "strength"!
  He has many popular songs at his fingertips.

Although, he really has no singing skills.

However, does this matter?

He is not a singer who relies on music to make a living. All he has to do is to hold many high-quality songs in his hands.

Although, he can find a professional singer to sing.

However, creative contestants such as Xu Liang and Luo Dayou from QQ's Big Three are obviously not good at singing. Why don't they sing the songs they wrote for others instead of singing them themselves?

This is the same reason.

Wang Shu thought about it for a while. Since he had this "part-time job" plan, in addition to "composing" some excellent songs, he also had to get a million sound cards.

It’s really impossible without this thing!
  As for singing skills, Wang Shu thinks that he will practice it if he has time in the future, and forget it if he doesn’t.

Anyway, you don't have to rely on concerts, music shows, commercial performances, etc. to show off your singing skills on the spot. You can just fool around with the sound card.

2 month 15 day.

The opening ceremony of Yangshi's drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was held in Hengdian.

According to tradition, the offering table is in front, with incense candles, candle holders, tribute fruits and pig heads placed on it.

After a lot of twists and turns, Wang Shu, as the screenwriter and director, came to the stage to speak and talked about some chicken soup literature and fake nonsense.

Then, as the chief producer, Han Sanping also came on stage and said a few words, praising Wang Shu in his words.

The crew in the audience and the actors who came with the crew could basically feel that Han Sanping's praise of Wang Shu came from the bottom of his heart.

As a big boss of China Film Group Corporation, Han Sanping traveled thousands of miles from Beijing to Hengdian to attend the opening ceremony of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" despite his busy schedule, which already explains everything. Although Han Sanping is the chief producer of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", under normal circumstances, he should come.

However, it also depends on the person and the time.

Therefore, both the crew and the actors were envious from the bottom of their hearts.

They also wanted to make friends with Han Sanping, but he ignored them.

This is very uncomfortable.

"I just hope that I can be favored by Director Wang in the coming days."

Some of the actors in the group kept glancing at Wang Shu, making silent calculations in their hearts.

The youngest director in China who has won three major European awards, his "The Tuner" currently in theaters has earned more than 100 million at the box office.

He's young, talented and a great director, but he doesn't seem to have a girlfriend yet.

Men want to make friends and have a relationship, while women want to become girlfriends in one step.

Soon, the opening ceremony ended.

Next came the exciting pre-show meal. Everyone in the crew sat down according to their departments and began to eat the delicious pre-show meal.

After all, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a major drama with a budget of 50 million. In addition, Han Sanping is the chief producer and Wang Shu is the director, so he will not be stingy with the opening meal.

Today, the crew does not talk about work, only about relationships, and this is the unchanging truth that the crew has always followed during the filming.

Because most of the crew members are film and television practitioners who often work with the crew. Many of them live in different crews from all over the world, and they met different friends on the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" this time.

Therefore, in addition to reuniting some old friends who have known each other and have not said hello well during the day, the startup dinner also allows new friends to have an impression of each other through old friends, and people who do not know each other can get to know each other initially, etc. .

In short, let’s reminisce today and work hard tomorrow.

Han Sanping sat at the same table as Wang Shu, because there were still things waiting for him to go back to deal with China Film, so he just took a few bites and prepared to leave.

Wang Shu understood the world and stood up immediately to see him off.

Walking outside the hotel, Han Sanping saw that no one was following him, and he couldn't help but asked again unwillingly: "After filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is completed, do you really plan to focus on art films?"

The total box office of "The Tuner" exceeded 1.5 million yesterday, and its potential has been exhausted, which is almost the end of it.

But it is a movie with an investment of only 2000 million, but the box office reached 1.5 million after its release.

Although "The Tuner" is not as good as "The Promise" in terms of total box office in the Mainland, and a lot of money was spent on the promotion of "The Tuner", but compared with the 3 million investment in "The Promise", it is a little different. .

Such outstanding performance directly made Han Sanping feel proud in China Film.

He is so happy about his success and really wants to recreate the myth.

Especially at this time in 2006, he really wanted to have a good performance.

Before "The Tuner" was released and grossed 1.5 million at the box office, although he appreciated Wang Shu's intention to support him, he also felt that Wang Shu was too young in his heart.

In other words, when he learned that Wang Shu wanted to make an art film, he did not force Wang Shu to make a commercial film. He just informed Wang Shu that commercial films would definitely become popular in the country in the future, so that Wang Shu could be mentally prepared.

Then I plan to wait until Wang Shu matures in directing, and then ask Wang Shu to make a commercial film.

He admitted that he believed that a young director like Wang Shu, who had no achievements in the field of commercial films and had only made one film, "Buried Alive," would not be capable of directing a commercial blockbuster.

Therefore, his initial idea was to try out some small-budget commercial films with Wang Shu.

Unexpectedly, "The Tuner" made him dumbfounded.

He knew very well that when Wang Shuchou made this movie, he said he wanted to make an award-winning movie.

As a result, an award-winning film not only has an artistic color, but also has a strong commercial nature. It even earned 1.5 million in box office after its release!

This forced him to take Wang Shu seriously again.

"Didn't you already say it last time? Why are you still asking, Director Han?" Wang Shu heard this and looked at Han Sanping in surprise.

Han Sanping smiled coquettishly and decided to express his inner thoughts frankly: "Isn't this "The Tuner" a box office of 1.5 million, which is a great performance?"

"This year is another critical year."

"so."

"Director Han wants to continue to have good performance?" Wang Shu asked with strange eyes.

"Haha." Han Sanping smiled coquettishly and said noncommittally: "Aren't all the movies you filmed scripts written by yourself? Let's see if we can write a commercial film script?"

"Art films can be made at any time."

"This year, let's make another commercial film together and let people in and outside the industry watch it!"

Han Sanping will appreciate and be willing to support Wang Shu. In addition to Wang Shu winning the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award in Berlin for his first film, he also knows that Wang Shu is a director who can write scripts.

Especially, the speed of writing scripts is very fast!
  This is rare in the industry and is a scarce commodity.

Seeing that Han Sanping didn't seem to be joking, Wang Shu couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Director Han, are you serious?"

Han Sanping did not answer, but patted Wang Shu on the shoulder and sighed, "I am the producer of many crews, and there are also quite a few that have poor performance."

"This time, just do me a favor."

After Wang Shu heard this, he knew that Han Sanping really wanted to achieve great results at this critical moment in 2006, and then he sighed and asked: "Director Han, why do you think that working with me will produce good results?"

Han Sanping looked at Wang Shu and said with familiarity: "The first film "Buried Alive" had a total investment of about 2 to 30 yuan. It not only won an award in Berlin, but also sold the film."

"The second work was a TV series that became a hit after it was aired."

"The third work is "The Tuner", which has a box office of 1.5 million."

"The fourth work is "The Legend of Zhen Huan" which is about to start filming now."

"Except for "The Legend of Zhen Huan", your first three works are all very good."

"So, you know what I mean, right?"

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and then added, "Of course, if we can cooperate this time and the collaborative work is released and the response is not good, then I will be unlucky."

After hearing this, Wang Shu smacked his lips and asked, "So, Director Han, what kind of charter do you plan to make?"

Han Sanping had a plan. He said: "Your first film "Buried Alive" cost hundreds of thousands and you can win an award in Berlin."

"This time, can you make a commercial film with low cost and high quality?"
