My singer girlfriend is super fierce

This year, Ye Zhiqiu released two albums, one in Chinese and one in English.

As a music director, he also helped Yu Caiwei, Ding Jie, and "Times Girls" release an album each. In addition, he also participated in the competition and performance of the theme song of the World Cup opening ceremony...

It can be said that most of his work energy this year is on music, and next year, his plan is to focus on film and television.

After all, he has reached a relatively bottleneck position in music, and there is not much room for improvement in his status in a short period of time. Next, he will maintain a certain frequency of new song output and release a new album every two years.

But there is still a lot to do in film and television.

Although his achievements as a screenwriter are extremely impressive, as a director, Ye Zhiqiu is still a "newcomer". His first work "No Man's Land", which he directed and acted in, has good reputation and box office, but it is still a long way from the top.

At present, Ye Zhiqiu is working on two projects, both of which are animation works under "Autumn of Light".

One is the animated film "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World", and the other is "Attack on Titan".

The two projects were launched at the same time. After more than half a year, the production of "Nezha" has entered the final stage and is expected to be completed in mid-December. Preparations for publicity and distribution have been started.

However, it will not be able to catch up with the New Year's Day. After internal discussions at "Shiguangzhiqiu", it was finally decided to release it during the Spring Festival, which is mid-February.

The Spring Festival audience is here, which is the best time to hit the box office.

As for the fierce competition during the Spring Festival, the Ye Zhiqiu team may have some concerns before, but now they are still quite confident.

It's hard to say about other styles of films, but in terms of animation, "Shiguangzhiqiu" can indeed confidently shout out in China.

——Who else!

Moreover, animated films have always had a relatively fixed audience group during the Spring Festival, with a stable market share and relatively less fierce competition, so the probability of loss for "Shiguangzhiqiu" is not high.

Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, "Nezha" is the "big devil" of the Spring Festival.

After all, the achievements of the previous animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" of "The Autumn of Light" are there. The classic scene of "melting stone into armor and wearing smoke into robes" has been regarded as the ceiling of domestic animation production and has been repeatedly discussed.

Another animation work "Attack on Titan" adopts the mode of making and broadcasting at the same time. The first season has 25 episodes. After the production of the first 15 episodes was completed, it was broadcast online. The first two episodes have just been broadcast.

"Titan" was acquired by Penguin Video for 150 million yuan in China. It was introduced to many countries including Japan, South Korea and the United States. The selling prices were high and low, and the total was nearly 80 million.

This price is already at the level of first-line animation in the world. The main reason is that the reputation of "The Autumn of Light" has also been established, and its works have been recognized by more and more overseas audiences.

In general, excluding the production cost, "Attack on Titan" has made "The Autumn of Light" earn more than a small goal just by selling the broadcasting rights, and this does not include a series of income from subsequent derivative sales.

In addition to the two animations, Ye Zhiqiu also has other film and television plans.

In terms of TV series, before the opening ceremony of the World Cup, he sorted out the script of the last part of the "Shooting the Condor Heroes Trilogy" - "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and handed it over to Huahai Entertainment.

For Huahai Entertainment and the "Yi Ye Zhiqiu" studio, there is no problem with the establishment of the film "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". The key is the choice of actors.

From the timeline of the "Shooting the Condor Heroes Trilogy", the plots of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" are basically seamlessly connected, with many overlapping characters, such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhou Botong, the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, etc. There is only a gap of more than ten years between the two stories.

From the end of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" to the main story period of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", there is a period of about a hundred years in between, and the characters in the novel are basically completely different, which can basically be regarded as a brand new story.

Even so, there are still many connections between the two in the plot. For example, the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre that caused the disputes in the martial arts world were synthesized by Yang Guo's Xuantie Heavy Sword and Gentleman and Lady Sword, as well as the martial arts such as "Wu Mu's Testament" and "Nine Yin Manual".

In this drama, the most outstanding characters are undoubtedly the male lead "Zhang Wuji", and the female lead and second female lead "Zhao Min" and "Zhou Zhiruo".

Originally, Huahai Entertainment wanted to use the lineup of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and let Ye Zhiqiu play the role of "Zhang Wuji", but eventually gave up this decision.

On the one hand, after the opening ceremony of the World Cup, Ye Zhiqiu's value skyrocketed again, and various notices and invitations continued.can spare the time; on the other hand, the character image of Zhang Wuji itself is not very suitable for Ye Zhiqiu. In the play, Zhang Wuji looks "handsome, elegant, and likable", but he is not the top-notch appearance, and his character is a bit indecisive and lacks masculinity.

Not to mention the temperament, it is inevitable that Ye Zhiqiu will play Zhang Wuji with a handsome face, which is a bit "mismatched". From the perspective of appearance alone, the role of the top dog Song Qingshu is more suitable for him.

After all, Song Qingshu is the appearance of the male characters in the whole play. The book says that "he has clear eyebrows and eyes, and his handsomeness is accompanied by a three-point majestic demeanor, which makes people naturally impressed at first sight"...

But with Ye Zhiqiu's current status, it is unlikely that he will play the second male role in a TV series, and there is no need for that.

As for the female characters, Long Yuqing's performance as the eccentric Zhao Min is also not good enough, and Ye Zhiqiu has other plans for her, so she gave up.

Therefore, most of the roles in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" will eventually be trained from newcomers within Huahai Entertainment, and the rest will be cast externally.

In addition to TV series, there are new film projects.

"No Man's Land" has a good box office, and Ye Zhiqiu's first step as a new director is considered to be big and stable, but the "first work" has a brilliant performance, and there are many cases where the subsequent works are not as good as the previous one, so there are still many people in the industry who pay attention to Ye Zhiqiu's sequel.

Most people speculate that he will continue to work hard in the category of "feature films", after all, the title of "king of feature films" has been established and formed a good reputation.

However, Ye Zhiqiu does not think so.

Feature films are indeed the first choice for "small wins big" at the box office, but one of its major characteristics is that it is limited to "small scenes", the production cost will not be very high, and the risk is relatively controllable.

But for a director, if he is limited to a single type, he always hopes to "spend little money to do big things", and he may achieve several successes, but it is difficult to really develop in the long run.

Therefore, this time he took out two scripts at once.

And, both are big productions!
