Chapter 322 Don't Want to Grow Up
On the evening of September 27th, the 42nd Starlight Awards Ceremony is underway at the Magic City Cultural Center!
The crew of "Swordsman" has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Martial Arts Movie, Best Actor, and Best Original Song, a total of five nominations.

In the end, there were only three awards for Best Supporting Actor, Best Martial Arts Movie, and Best Original Song, while the other awards were won by Wang Jing's "Evil Sect Leader" by Heaven and Slaying the Dragon.

After receiving the award, Ning Cheng stayed at the dinner party for a while before leaving, because there were not many friends that night, elder brother, Ti Lung and other seniors didn't come, so Ning Cheng just chatted with a few people he knew well and then left.

The next day, Ning Sheng returned to the capital and didn't bother with Ning Tong's rehearsal. There were professionals to guide him, so he didn't need Ning Sheng.

What Ning Cheng is anxious about right now is to quickly start the new play "Swordsman: The Undefeated East", because it's getting late this year. Earlier, he had communicated with the main actors such as Lin Qingxia and Ding Xuan, and asked them to leave the schedule empty. Come out, now naturally you can't release other people's pigeons.

Therefore, when the three of Ning Tong were preparing for a new round of competition rehearsals, Ning Sheng's new play was quickly on the right track.

The two leading actors, Ding Xuan and Lin Qingxia, have already signed contracts. The market price of their remuneration is 3000 million for Ding Xuan and 7000 million for Lin Qingxia.

Although Ding Xuan doesn't have many film works, he is a top-notch TV drama, and he has also taken on the big screen such as "Swordsman", the price of 3000 million also includes his own popularity for many years , after all, Ding Xuan is still a newcomer on the big screen, so last year's "Swordsman" had a price of 3000 million, which is already pretty good.

As for Lin Qingxia, she was an actress and a big star before taking over the filming of "Dragon Inn". After "Dragon Inn" was successfully developed commercially, it is normal for her net worth to rise accordingly.

The remuneration of these two people together is better than 500 million. For the other roles after that, the junior sister is still Zhou Huimin, Ren Yingying is also the beauty of Guan Da in the first part, and the supporting role Lan Fenghuang, who has played a lot of roles in the second part, is played for many years. Yuan Jieying, their salaries were originally between 1000 million and [-] million.

However, due to the popularity of "Swordsman", the net worth has naturally increased. Among them, Zhou Huimin, who is the most popular, has grown to 1000 million yuan in the film, and Guan Dameiren and Yuan Jieying are both paid [-] million yuan.

There is no way, compared to Ning Sheng's last life, Huaxia Film and Television in this life is more prosperous, and even the actors are worth more, but the relative box office is higher, so the actual profit of a movie is greater than imagined.

The domestic box office of the last "Swordsman" finally reached 32.5 billion, which was shared with the theaters, and after deducting the publicity expenses, the share of other investment companies finally fell to Xingtong Studio's net profit of more than 5 million.Not to mention that there are nearly one billion overseas box office, and it can bring nearly two hundred million in revenue to the studio.

And all the companies participating in the investment also made a lot of money.

So when they knew that Ning Sheng had plans for a sequel, they invested again without hesitation.

Ning Sheng still invested 1.5 million this time, and the other five companies shared the remaining 1.5 million, for a total joint investment of 3 million.

Among them, the remuneration of the actors accounts for nearly half of the cost. Compared with the exaggerated thing in the previous life where a star accounted for one-third or even one-half of the crew, the personnel cost of the entire crew can be kept at about half of the total investment. is allowed.

And those popular stars in Ning Cheng's previous life alone accounted for so much of the film crew's expenses. In order to complete the filming, the director had to find other actors who were cheaper to accompany the film, and the props and special effects that needed to be expensive were just enough to make do.

However, in Ning Sheng's place now, this problem does not exist, and there is still more than [-] million yuan in funds, which is really ample for a martial arts film with special effects.

You know, the total investment of many medium-sized martial arts films these days is only tens of millions!

On October [-]st, a new round of the Huaxia Music Competition started again. Last time, [-] contestants were selected to advance. This time, they will be divided into two groups again, and the six winners will be selected, plus one lucky bye contestant. A total of seven contestants will be selected. People, to participate in the final semi-finals.

This round, Ning Tong's opponent will be the boy group from Huayi Company.

This boy group is also a three-member group, maybe because the five-member group is already a bad street, Hua Yi wants to try a new way, so this three-member boy group not only does not sing and dance like a Korean wave group, but joins Instead of rap, which is rarely played by Chinese musicians, the combination of rap and singing can be regarded as a combination that is biased towards European and American styles. Looking at the popularity in several rounds of competitions, it is obvious that Huayi's experiment results are quite good.

When the results of the lottery came out and everyone saw that the boy group called ATA was in the same group as NLZ, the fans of the two groups were a little surprised, because these two are very popular among the players, and the organizers generally Save them until the final semi-finals, or the finals?Where are the two meeting now, no matter which one is eliminated, it is not good news for the organizers.

However, when Mr. Zheng and other insiders saw it, apart from cursing secretly, it was also expected.

After all, the group NLZ stood out from the crowd because of Ning Sheng's lyrics and music. The sponsors are all competitors of Huijie Records. It is really normal to create some difficulties in the competition openly.

On the contrary, the three of Ning Tong didn't have so many thoughts on these things. For the three girls who are now full of confidence, it doesn't matter who their opponent is, just compare!

Although the managers of the three boys in the ATA group had hinted to them before that they might meet the popular NLZ group in this round, they were very nervous when they really wanted to play.

Their singing repertoire is a new songwriter and songwriter specially prepared by the company. The boys at ATA are very aware of the benefits of defeating this popular girl group. Therefore, they are actually more interested in this competition. It's with great expectations.

The three big boys with an average age of 20 tried their best to perform, with powerful rap and beautiful singing, and finally got the highest score of 8.8 points in the audience, which is also the highest score in the history of their AT group.

However, for the NLZ group, every time they perform, their scores are never lower than 8 points, one time is 8.6 points, and one time is 8.7 points. Therefore, when ATA got the highest score in history, not only did they have greater expectations in their hearts Already, even those fans who support NLZ are starting to worry!
But when the NLZ group debuted, this worry gradually disappeared.

The song they performed this time is also one of SHE's classic songs "I Don't Want to Grow Up". Maybe it's because the previous two songs are soothing slow songs, so everyone thinks that the NLZ group is actually only suitable for singing slow songs, but This performance made everyone feel the different demeanor of the three girls.

"I Don't Want to Grow Up" adopts the theme from Mozart's Symphony No. 40 as the melody of the chorus, embellishes the theme with repeated lyrics, and adds a large number of orchestral arrangements to create a retro feeling.

So when the prelude started, many people were excited. For most people, symphonies are rarely heard, so except for a few people who know more about Mozart symphonies, most of the audience is the first. Hearing this kind of symphony for the first time gives people a feeling of grandeur and momentum.Immediately caught everyone's mind.

Why can't I find the roses I don't thank you for?
Why are the princes I met not enough princes?
I don't expect him to have glass shoes and a white horse
I'm surprised that love words can turn into lies
Why does the blue bird of happiness fly so high——
Both the melody and the lyrics are very different from the previous two songs. The dresses of Ning Tong and the three of them have the charm of ancient Rome in the West, and a sense of exoticism blows their faces!

I don't want I don't want to grow up
When you grow up, there will be no fairy tales in the world

I don't want I don't want to grow up
I'd rather be stupid and stupid forever

I don't want I don't want to grow up
I will lose him when I grow up

I love him, I love him
Has changed not like him——
The three ATAs in the background and their manager watched the performance of the NLZ group on the stage on TV. After a while, after a climax, the manager sighed and turned around to comfort the three of them, "Forget it, anyway, the company treats you The potential is very promising, and I won't change my attitude just because of this setback, so please relax, after all, the younger generation is a god like Ning Chen, so it's normal to fail!"

Not only ATA and their managers think so, but also the judges in the audience have already understood that the promotion of NLZ group is unstoppable.Of course, if the organizer is not afraid of being scolded, and has the cheek to engage in shady activities, then let alone NLZ is a rookie group, even the boss of Huijie Records will be useless.

But once you do that, the eyes of the people of the whole country will not be blind, and the image of you, or your company, will be ruined in the future, so everyone will naturally know what to do. The company's reputation, that loss is really unaffordable.Not to mention, there is also the consequence of angering Ning Cheng, a genius. Look at Jiang Quan, who was bullied by Ning Cheng at the beginning, and finally left the country in desperation.

I don't want I don't want to grow up
When you grow up, there will be no fairy tales in the world

I don't want I don't want to grow up
I'd rather be stupid and stupid forever

I don't want I don't want to grow up
I will lose him when I grow up

He who I love loves him who loves me—
Seeing the cute dancing and singing of the three young and beautiful girls on the stage, even the audience in front of the TV could not help but smile happily.

The NLZ combination defeated their opponent with a high score of 9.2 points and advanced to the next round.

And after Ning Sheng watched the live broadcast at the hotel, he quickly took a shower and went to sleep. He will continue filming tomorrow.

Waking up the next day, when Ning Cheng came to the film crew, the preparations for the scene were already in place. Although Ning Sheng was young and hadn't been in the film industry for a long time, considering Ning Sheng's achievements in the film and television industry over the years, That is better than 100% of directors in Asia, and in terms of box office results alone, Ning Sheng will soon exceed [-] billion with the global achievements of the two martial arts "Dragon Inn" and "Swordsman", plus the comedy The film "People on the Journey", a well-established director with a box office of tens of billions, the number one commercial director in China and Asia!He is also the first director in Asia with a box office of over [-] billion!
So, even if Ning Cheng seems to have a good temper, no one dares to fool him.

Today's scene is to film the plot of Linghu Chong straying into the unbeaten training land in the East. The time has entered October. Although the weather is not bad, the temperature in the water is not as warm as summer, so standing Too much time in the water is not good.

Ning Cheng walked over to look at Ding Xuan and Lin Qingxia and asked, "How is it? Are you ready?"

Ding Xuan touched his face and said, "It's about the same." Sister Qingxia smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, it's a big deal to shoot a few more times, you are the director's best friend, does he still dare to scold you?"

After hearing this, Ning Cheng said speechlessly, "Sister Qingxia, it's okay for me to take a few more shots. If you stand in the water to take pictures, you will be blamed for catching a cold later."

Ding Xuan glanced at Ning Cheng, and said to Sister Qingxia, "I'm a little soldier under him now, if I don't perform well and get scolded, then I can only suffer. Who makes someone the director, but I'm not afraid of him scolding me." , at worst, I’ll just come back when the scene is finished.”

Ning Cheng and the two couldn't help laughing, and Ding Xuan himself laughed too, "Sister Qingxia, if I don't perform well in a while, please forgive me and give me some pointers. I'd rather be scolded by you than by Ning Cheng." ah."

Sister Qingxia smiled and said, "Okay, as long as the director yells Ka at that moment, I won't let you pass, I won't be polite!"

Ning Cheng and Ding Xuan said in unison, "Don't be polite, just scold me!"

After a while, the filming will officially start. Ding Xuan and Lin Qingxia's drama with a queen, the end is really terrible, so the number of cards inevitably increased. Sister Qingxia offered to help, of course not really scolding, but with Ning Cheng Let's teach Ding Xuan together, talk about experience, and pass on your own acting skills.

Ding Xuan's acting skills have been tempered repeatedly in the last "Swordsman 1", and this time Lin Qingxia, the queen actress, personally guided her, and her progress has been even faster.

That night, following Ning Cheng's "Start", Ding Xuan and Lin Qingxia were sitting by the fire, Ding Xuan was holding a branch, smirking and swaying to the music of Ronin, Lin Qingxia looked at Ding Xuan with an inexplicable expression After a while, Ning Cheng said, "Cut, it's over! Congratulations to Ding Xuan, one of them is finally over. Ding Xuan treats you tonight, let's go together!"

"Okay, long live Brother Xuan!"

Seeing that it was Ding Xuan, Ning Cheng first looked puzzled, and then gave himself a vicious look, but he didn't refute Ning Cheng's "nonsense". Today, because he has tossed everyone all day, it's reasonable to treat everyone to dinner.

Ning Sheng is busy with his work in the film crew, and the music competition in Kyoto is still going on. On October [-]th, this semi-final will be a seven-to-four competition. It will still be a team of two, with one bye. Four for the final round.

In the final, there are two groups, and then the winners of the two groups will directly compete in the final competition to determine the final champion!Because only the champion has the quota to participate in next year, so the competition only needs the champion!
