Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan's sixth album "Dao Xiang" did not carry out much publicity.

There are no program announcements running around, no signings, fan meetings, etc.

There is no way, there are too many people looking for Xiang Nan, he is really not suitable to appear in public.

Just like the bosses of Netease, Baidu, and Tencent, they rarely show their faces in public, keeping a low profile.

Even the bosses of Ali and Wanda don’t read the news often, but if you look closely, you will know that all the attendees are in places with strict security, and few of them wander around.

After all, safety comes first, life matters!

In fact, even if Xiang Nan doesn't promote it, the attention of his album is quite high.

Because the blessing effect of money is much greater than imagined.

As the richest young man in China at this stage, his every move has attracted much attention.

Just like Jack Ma in those years, whatever he said can be spread as a famous saying.

Therefore, after the launch of "Tao Xiang", which was not hyped, the order volume alone reached more than two million copies, which is quite exaggerated.

And the final sales volume of this album reached more than three million. It is said to be the best-selling album in the Chinese music scene in 2004, which is definitely well deserved.

Even in the major award seasons at the end of the year, although Xiang Nan did not go there in person, he still won awards such as the most popular male singer in the mainland, the best singer of the year in the mainland, the best Mandarin album, and the top ten annual golden songs.

For him, all major awards ceremonies have broken the unspoken rules. It can be said that the charm of money is really not small.

In October, the TV series "Wulin Biography" officially landed on Yanjing Satellite TV.

Originally, people didn't have much hope for the ratings of this drama. The reason why I bought it was mainly because of Xiang Nan's face.

Unexpectedly, this drama full of spoofs, jokes, and deconstruction of classic martial arts novels, which made the old-school audience feel nonsense, became very popular after it was broadcast.

Especially young people, like this drama very much, and spontaneously carry out Amway. So soon, the show became popular. When it was broadcast on Yanjing Satellite TV, the highest ratings reached 12% at one time, which was quite terrifying.

Several leading actors, Yan Yan, Yao Chen, Sha Yi, Jiang Zhen, Yu Enhuang, Fan Huang and others, became popular almost overnight, so popular that they were so popular.

Major film and television companies have offered olive branches one after another, and the remuneration and treatment are easy to negotiate. For example, Yan Yan's salary has directly increased by 20 times, which can be said to be a fish jumping over the dragon's gate, and his net worth is a hundred times.

However, Yan Yan did not forget the well digger when he was drinking water. He was very loyal and did not change jobs from Zhiqing, but still stayed in the studio. And people like Yao Chen, Sha Yi, Yu Enhuang, Jiang Zhen, Fan Huang, etc. are also willing to join Zhiyouth.

Because no one is stupid. In the show business circle, it is still capital to fight to the end. Only when you have money can you invest in filming dramas, and only if you have money can you promote and hype.

Xiang Nan is now the richest in the mainland film and television industry. More than 6 billion yuan, a loss of 100 million a year, can still lose money to death. No one is as solid as him.

Therefore, the future development of Zhiyouth is really very promising.

After Xiang Nan thought about it, he only accepted Sha Yi and Yao Chen.

Firstly, they have the most potential, and secondly, they can also make up for the gap in the company.

Sha Yi has good looks and acting skills. He can play both niche and middle-aged students. It is very suitable for family dramas, period dramas, and workplace dramas. Yao Chen's appearance is not too high, he can't be a Huadan, but it's no problem to play a big Tsing Yi.

To Youth has now signed actresses, such as Gao Yuanyuan, Tang Wei, Tong Liya, Zeng Lai, etc., are only suitable for Huadan, and they are not bad for romantic dramas. If you want to act in a drama, your image and acting skills are not enough, and Yao Chen can just fill this position.

...

After "Wulin Biography" became popular on Yanjing Satellite TV, various David TVs immediately competed for the second round of broadcasting rights, which also made Zhiqing Studio a fortune.

As for the movie version of "Wulin Biography", Xiang Nan is also soon on the agenda.

In the real world, "Wulin Biography" was originally intended to be a sequel like "The Story of the Cooking Class". But I didn't expect this TV series to be so popular that it became a phenomenal drama like "My Fair Princess" and "Bright Sword".

The popularity and remuneration of the leading actors increased rapidly, and the schedules were so full that it became impossible to make a sequel. That's why I had to keep it simple and made a movie, and it was someone who managed to get together.

Xiang Nan didn't want to delay it for so long, he wanted to take advantage of "Wulin Biography" to make a movie as soon as possible. Earn a wave of dividends first. If there is an opportunity in the future, it is also possible to make a second or third film.

Therefore, he first wrote the script and handed it over to director Shang Tie for overall arrangement.

When the time comes to December, the most eye-catching film in the mainland film industry is "Kung Fu" directed by Zhou Xingchi.

Before the film was released, the publicity had already been overwhelming, causing panic in the film industry, and no one dared to confront it.

At the critical moment, Niu Cha, the director of Feng Xiaogang, launched his latest masterpiece with Ge You - "My Name is Zhang Xingfu", which tells the absurd and interesting experience of the little character Zhang Xingfu in a day.

This movie is based on the novella "A Happy Day", which was ranked in the list of China Fiction Society in 2003, and it is still in the familiar style of Feng's comedy.

In fact, the movie "A World Without Thieves" was supposed to be directed by him. And it was from this movie that Feng Xiaogang abandoned his best comedy movies and switched to more commercial action movies.

However, because Xiang Nan filmed in advance, it is not easy for him to collide with Xiang Nan, so he can only return to the old way of comedy first, and make changes later.

"My name is Zhang Xingfu" was released on December 9th, and the box office and word-of-mouth are still good. After all, Feng Xiaogang has directed comedies for so many years, so he still has enough experience.

It was released for half a month, with a cumulative box office of RMB 31 million. This result is quite satisfactory, not much different from the performance of last year's "Mobile".

But compared with "House of Flying Daggers" released in the same year, the gap is huge.

Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" was released in July, with a box office of 156 million. It was also introduced to foreign countries by many filmmakers and was very popular in North America.

This put a lot of pressure on Feng Xiaogang.

You know, he was synonymous with box office before.

Zhang Yimou's previous filmings such as "My Father and Mother", "Happy Time", "Not One Less", and "Speak Well" were all well-received but not well-received at the box office.

But now "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" directed by him have sold hundreds of millions at the box office, and even the Yankees praised his film for making a lot of money.

And although his "Big Wrist" and "Mobile Phone" were also hits, it has to be said that they were far behind.

Seeing that "My Name is Zhang Xingfu" had the highest box office of only 50 to 60 million, Feng Xiaogang was naturally anxious. And at this time, Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" was launched, and soon became very popular with its wonderful story, gorgeous special effects, and superhuman imagination.

In comparison, the box office of "My Name is Zhang Xingfu" has plummeted like a cliff. From three million at the daily box office, it dropped to over one million in one fell swoop, which was a cut in half.

If things go on like this, "My name is Zhang Xingfu" will get a maximum box office of 40 to 50 million. This is a good result in the eyes of others, but in Feng Xiaogang's view, it is simply a humiliation.
