Chapter 94: "Kunka" becomes a big hit, Cheng Cheng defrauds donations
In January, Cheng Cheng mainly did three things.
The first thing is that the filmmaker support project mentioned earlier has finally been implemented.
This project aims to support young directors and cultivate their own direct lineage.
In fact, whether in the past or in the present, the project to support young filmmakers has long been nothing new.
For example, in his previous life, Ning Hao came out of Andy Lau's Asian Rising Star Director Program, and his debut film "Crazy Stone" was helped by Andy Lau.
After becoming famous, Ning Hao established the "Bad Monkey 72 Transformations Film Project".
Few people know that "Dying to Survive" is a project of the "Bad Monkey 72 Transformations Film Project". From a box office perspective, it is one of the most successful projects to support young filmmakers.
However, although this method is not new, it is really useful.
Previously, on the Zhihu topic [After "A Little Thing Called First Love", will Cheng Cheng's status be significantly improved? ], there was an answer that pointed out: Cheng Cheng's two movies have grossed over 50 billion, but he still has no status in the film and television industry.
Because the status in the film and television industry is based on influence, qualifications, and whether you can bring people food.
Even though the box office is high, the company has a monopoly and makes a lot of profits, its status is still not high.
This is also true in the current time and space. The reason why Lu Zhuofeng has a high status is because he opened the era of domestic commercial blockbusters. The overall salary of actors has increased, and even extras can afford to eat.
Sometimes people respect you not just because of how famous you are or how great the works you have made are, but also because of how much contribution you have made to the industry, which is exactly what Cheng Cheng needs.
At the same time, he has a lot of movies and TV series under his management, and there will be more in the future, but he cannot shoot every one of them himself, so he must train his own people and establish his own faction.
The second thing is that the book numbers for books such as "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Little Prince" have finally been approved. The book numbers and CIP data (including book titles, authors, publishers, publication dates, etc.) have been filed and made public.
At the same time, Cheng Cheng participated in all the cover design, typesetting and other work, and the next step was printing and subsequent publishing.
The third thing is to recruit people, recruit people like crazy. So far, the number of employees in Myth Entertainment has exceeded 500, and all departments are saturated.
In addition, Myth Entertainment has also completed the signing of Yan Gou'er, Wen Lian, Lin Yin, Meng Cai and others.
Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian have the same contract, which is 10 years long, while Lin Yin and Meng Cai have 15 years. In addition to these well-known actors, there are dozens of actors who have joined Shinhwa Entertainment, all of whom have collaborated in "All or Nothing" and "A Little Thing Called First Love".
Among them, Wang Hong is also on the list.
The signing fee is not fixed and is adjusted every three years. It can only increase and never decrease. This is intended to encourage artists to work harder and improve their acting skills and popularity.
To prevent some artists from feeling unbalanced or having second thoughts.
Cheng Cheng’s goal is to be the most successful company, not the most profitable one. If he wants to make money, there is no need to spend money on his artists.
Cheng Cheng has countless ways to make money.
At the same time, during this month, Jiang Nan’s new album was also released.
"Queencard", the title song of the album, stood out among the 14 songs and became a huge hit, instantly setting the entire peninsula on fire! It topped several charts in a row.
By the way, this Kunca trend has also spread to China, causing a huge response among domestic K-POP fans. It is even more popular on Tik Tok and has spread from person to person. Countless Internet celebrities have uploaded their own cover or dance videos to gain popularity.
Jiang Nan also became a little famous, with terms such as #姜南裸体# and #昆卡# becoming popular searches several times.
"Tomorrow I'll take the Kunkka test. If you remind me of biology, you'll be dead."
"The one obvious downside to this song is that it ends."
"First time listening: What the hell
Second listen: A bit brainwashing
The third time I heard it: Grandma Cuenca!
"I don't know who this girl Jiang Nan ended up with."
"Anyway, as a woman, I am also excited to see her."
“It’s full of sensuality, which can be regarded as a major feature of domestic entertainment!”
But unfortunately, "Queencard" collides with "A Little Thing Called First Love", and its popularity was directly suppressed, otherwise it would have been even more popular. The credit of "Lin Yi" in composing and writing lyrics did not attract much attention.
peninsula.
In the training room, several girls were interrogating Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan had just finished a set of training. Sweat was dripping down his forehead, his pink hair was stuck to his snow-white cheeks, arms, and neck, and his whole body was emitting a hint of heat.
She fanned the air with her palms and looked at the four pairs of flashing eyes in front of her helplessly.
"Tell me quickly~ Who is Lin Yi Oppa?" Park Mi Hui asked relentlessly, "I will never let you go if you don't tell me~"
Jiang Nan said: "I said no~ that oppa won't let me speak!"
Li Xiaoying frowned and said, "Nannan, you are dishonest. How can a songwriter who writes songs of this quality not want to reveal his name? There must be something hidden!"
Lin Xier's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands, "I see. Did some oppa give you this song in order to pursue Nan Nan? But he didn't want to cause you trouble, so he changed the name? Wow, which oppa is so romantic?"
Park Meihui held her chin and said:
"After thinking about it, it seems that it can only be Jeon Myung-ho oppa. Jeon Myung-ho oppa is a well-known talent who can compose songs for both boy bands and girl bands. If it is him, then it makes sense. Besides, Jeon Myung-ho oppa is still pursuing our Nan Nan fiercely, so there can't be anyone else!"
Li Xiaoying looked at Jiang Nan teasingly: "It seems that our youngest sister is secretly in love without the sisters' knowledge~"
"No way!" Jiang Nan said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, okay? It's not him! This dirty Peninsula guy has a messy love history, I hate him so much!"
"Hey!"
As soon as Jiang Nan finished speaking, the other four girls became unhappy on the spot. Park Mihui: "We are still here!"
“Hahaha~ Sorry, sorry~” Jiang Nan acted cute and apologized, “I was talking about him, the dirty peninsula guy, not you guys~ I was wrong~”
"Alright, alright~" Li Xiaoying, who was used to being accidentally injured, waved her hands and said, "Let's talk about the song~"
Jiang Nan is the eldest daughter of Vans Pictures. Even in SL, she is the little princess surrounded by stars and has exaggerated resources. People come to Peninsula as trainees just to gild their resumes so that they can develop better in China. It is normal for them to look down on people from Peninsula in their hearts.
They are totally different from those Southeast Asian girls who come to the city.
Jiang Nan blushed and said, "Actually, an oppa from my country gave it to me. He is also an artist, but he didn't let me tell anyone who he was. At first, he said he wanted to add my name, but I didn't agree. In desperation, he let me use the name Lin Yi."
Park Mi Hui was shocked: "Ah? Is there anyone in Tianxia who can release a Korean K-pop song? And he's even willing to give you a credit as the songwriter?"
Li Xiaoying said: "I am even more curious about this Lin Yi Oppa now!"
Lin Xier, who is in love, said with a smile: "Nannan, are you having an affair with this mysterious Lin Yi Oppa? Otherwise, why would he be so nice to you?"
"He treats me well because I treat him well! Besides, we are just buddies, brothers~" Jiang Nan retorted.
Lin Xier stuck out her tongue: "No, I don't believe that. There is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women!"
Captain Park Mi-hui thought more about it. She carefully chose her words and said:
"Nannan, since your Lin Yi oppa is from Tianxia, he has no competition with us, and he can write Korean songs, can we ask him for a song?"
"Yes, yes!" Li Xiaoying's eyes lit up. "This time, 'Queencard' has made us famous. We may even get the first place in the song promotion. Even if your song after Lin Yi Oppa is not as good as 'Queencard', it will definitely be above the standard."
Pu Meihui said: "Yes, we can find a company to pay him to sing songs, so that he won't make songs for nothing. Nannan, do you think it's okay?"
The girl group culture of Peninsula has gone through several stages of development and is currently in the era of the fifth generation of girl groups. The SparkleTeens, or STeens for short, group that Jiang Nan belongs to is one of the fifth generation girl groups.
The pattern of the new fifth-generation girl groups has already been formed, with SSG and DMelody competing for supremacy. STeens girl group is not among them.
Although the STeens girl group is also in the first echelon, they are only a marginal role in the first echelon. If they want to stand out among the girl groups on the Peninsula, they must suppress their contemporaries in one of the fields.
However, STeens girl group performed very poorly in terms of the number of first place in the annual chart, the number of first place in hit songs, and the number of awards. It was even a luxury for them to enter the top ten of the Melon music chart.
They were overshadowed by several other fifth-generation girl groups.
Jiang Nan is actually very ambitious. When she first debuted, her goal was to become the top girl in the fifth-generation girl group (top 1 in terms of individual strength and fame). However, STeens' successive failures made her give up this goal early on. Her career focus is now basically on China.
But if you ask her if she still has ambition, the answer is yes.
Jiang Nan said: "He is very good now, and has released many good songs, which are very popular in China, but I don't know if he will release Korean songs, after all, he has only written one song."
Having said this, she paused, looked at her teammates' expectant eyes, and said:
"But I will ask him during the Chinese New Year. Of course, don't hold your hopes too high."
The girls breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they could just ask.
-
With one week left until the Chinese New Year, "A Little Thing Called First Love" has already grossed 32 billion yuan.
Cheng Cheng was talking to Jiang Wang on the phone to discuss the overseas release of "A Little Thing Called First Love" and "All or Nothing" when Li Zhuo suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
Li Zhuo handed the tablet to Cheng Cheng and said seriously, "Boss Cheng, something happened. Someone is targeting us online."
Cheng Cheng was surprised: "Who? This tablet?!"
"No!" Li Zhuo had a black line on his head!
She leaned over and pointed at the tablet, asking Cheng Cheng to look at the contents on the tablet, and said:
“It’s a trending search on Weibo!”
Cheng Cheng took the tablet and looked at it, only to see the term #Cheng Cheng Fraudulent Donation# appearing at the top of the hot searches.
He scrolled down and saw #Cheng Cheng promised to donate 7 million#, which was ranked fourth, and #Cheng Cheng became popular again and then failed#, which was ranked seventh.
Cheng Cheng was pleasantly surprised, saying, "Hey, I'm on three of the top ten trending searches, I'm really famous now!"
Li Zhuo took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to give Cheng Cheng a slap, and said quickly:
"These trending searches appeared strangely and suddenly. Along with our trending searches, there also appeared the third-ranked #夏明将说出留后儿童# and the sixth-ranked #夏明真的是事著正义我是是行事的优质天使#. They were very targeted. Adding to Xia Ming's previous trend, I have reason to suspect that Xia Ming bought the trending searches in order to drag us down!"
"Moreover, I suspect that he is not the only one who has taken action! Because now the popularity of this topic has exploded! And the speed is too fast, the whole network is discussing it, and we can't react in time!"
"Boss Cheng, what should we do? Should we respond? Or donate money right away? I can contact charities right now! As long as we donate a little more, we should be able to make up for it."
Cheng Cheng asked, "Is my book finished?"
Li Zhuo said anxiously: "Boss Cheng, what are you talking about now?"
Cheng Cheng said calmly: "Go ask, and you definitely haven't read the content of the book."
Cheng Cheng's words made Li Zhuo angry and anxious. She was so busy all day long that she had no time to read. The whole process was handled by Cheng Cheng himself.
But she also knew that nothing she said now would be of any use!
Her President Cheng was in such a mental state. He wanted to ask about the book even if the sky fell. So, she could only leave in a hurry and call the publishing company under her.
Thanks to the big guys [If you are healthy, it will be sunny] and [|损|] for the 500 starting coins, and thanks to the big guy [凯A宇] for the 425 starting coins! Big guys are awesome! Big guys are so domineering!
