Chapter 1678 "Journey to the West" Touring Troupe
When Yin Jun returned to Xiangjiang, he happened to meet the crew of "Journey to the West" doing performances and commercial activities in Xiangjiang.
In fact, there is nothing too special about the performances of the crew in this era, but Yin Jun came back more than 40 years ago and experienced those little fresh meat and little actresses who had to hold several celebration parties even for their birthdays. In crazy times, you naturally know how to arrange things.
In fact, the first year after Yin Jun bought Jiashi TV and renamed it Kylin TV, that is, in December 1980, when Kylin TV held its first Asian Thanksgiving concert tour, it began to implement the performance plan set by Yin Jun.
This includes holding concerts in stadiums, participating in various programs on TV stations, holding small fan gatherings in large shopping malls in cities, etc. After four years of practice, the whole process has become very familiar.
The crew of "Journey to the West" generally did the same.
It's just that there aren't many singers among them, so in addition to singing some "Dare I Ask Where the Road Is" and "Daughter's Love", etc., half of the time they are dressed up as TV dramas and perform one after another. skits and programs.
But this is the case, every song they sing will trigger a loud chorus from the audience.
Every program will arouse mountains and seas of applause.
This is true for uncles, aunts, young people and children.
From this, we can also see the status of "Journey to the West", one of the four famous masterpieces that has been around for hundreds of years, in people's minds, and how realistically the Six Little Lingtongs performed it.
The "Journey to the West" tour group was originally scheduled to stay in Hong Kong for four days, including three evening parties, five small performances in large shopping malls and real estate properties, and five programs on three satellite TVs. The schedule was full.
But seeing the audience cheering so excitedly, and even tens of thousands of people crowding in to welcome it, Chen Shufen, the performance director of Qilin Culture who was responsible for the overall planning, discussed with the teacher Wang Congqiu who was in charge of leading the group to arrange an additional four days of itinerary.
Three days were used to continue performing, and the last day was used to rest and fly to the next city - Seoul, South Korea.
Wang Congqiu is more open-minded than his wife Yang Jie, at least he is not opposed to making money in an honest way.
The purpose of this trip was to take advantage of the popularity of "Journey to the West" across Asia to make a fortune and earn a pension for the hard-working cast and crew. Therefore, Wang Congqiu did not give up the opportunity to make money. , he agreed directly.
In fact, seeing how popular it was in Xiangjiang, organizers from other countries and cities, those who often cooperated with Qilin Culture, immediately asked for more performance time and projects. Money is definitely not question.
As a result, the trip that was originally two months has now been stretched to more than four months.
But the "Journey to the West" touring troupe did not suffer.
Kirin Culture has decided to give them 20% of their net profit dividends.
This number seems a bit low, but because "Journey to the West" was basically sponsored by Yin Jun, everyone ate and drank well during the filming, and the risk was greatly reduced, all because of Yin Jun, so it is absolutely Some people are not dissatisfied with this dividend ratio.
Quan should repay Yin Jun for all the care he had given him.
Besides, being able to go abroad and travel around Asia is considered a publicly funded benefit.
But what they didn't expect was that they had just arrived in Xiangjiang. After the staff of Qilin Culture let them stay in the hotel, the first thing they did was to take them out to buy clothes and shoes, whether it was suits, pants, shirts, shoes, or watches, one person could take them Got several sets.
They were all gifts from Qilin Culture, and they didn’t spend a penny.
If they didn't have to travel to various countries by plane, they wouldn't be willing to put on these good clothes and shoes that cost hundreds or hundreds of dollars.
Then, the first pre-distributed pocket money of US$1 million was distributed to them.
Although there were more than 100 people on the trip, including the Dragon King of the Four Seas, the General of Heaven, and the Arhats of Lingshan, so the amount distributed to each person was less than 10,000, but it was US dollars! !
Such a large sum of money was something they had never seen before.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiangjiang was the first stop, they would have spent the money on gifts for their families.
Fortunately, the Six Little Lingtongs had been to Xiangjiang, and the staff of Qilin Culture who accompanied them also said that the last stop on their way back to the mainland was Xiangjiang, and it would not be too late to come back then to buy something, so we didn’t buy anything.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not panic.
The members of the "Journey to the West" touring troupe have already received five to six thousand US dollars, which is already a guarantee.
Even if they only take this amount of performance fees in every subsequent city, or even take none at all, the US dollars in each person's hands are enough for them to buy a house back home.
This was not in their budget to begin with, it was a windfall, and it had been approved by the stage, theater troupe and other units, so there was no need to hide it and it could be used openly.
Moreover, with Yin Jun's character, there will definitely be a lot of money later.
Thinking that such a three-month or longer tour can earn tens of thousands of dollars for themselves, everyone's enthusiasm for performing increased, so all the performances and programs in Hong Kong received overwhelming praise. .
Artists in this era certainly pursue art first, but it is also important to earn better security for themselves and their families.
This is how material life drives people's progress.
Yin Jun treated the guests to dinner on the last day of their additional itinerary. After lunch, they had to go directly to the airport.
Even though there were so many people, Yin Jun booked the entire restaurant on the first floor of the Peninsula Hotel and asked them to cook the most exquisite Cantonese dishes, so that everyone who had worked hard for several days could taste the delicious food.
As for himself, after talking to everyone for a while at the beginning, he went to each table to have a drink with them, and then sat at the table where Wang Congqiu, master and apprentice were sitting.
The crew of "Journey to the West" actually know a lot about Yin Jun, because their crew has action directors, martial artists and special effects personnel from Xiangjiang's Qilin Culture. These people brag about Yin Jun's deeds when they have nothing to do. So much so that they are basically familiar with it.
They also knew that Yin Jun didn't know how to drink, so it was a great honor for someone to come over and offer a drink.
They heard on the first day they came to Xiangjiang that with the emergence of Christmas Creek Mining Area and Kirin Computer, Yin Jun had become the richest man in Xiangjiang, and even the richest Chinese in the world!
Such a super rich man greets everyone in such an approachable manner and treats them to delicious dishes. What else do you want?
So they didn't dare to come over to toast, they just ate, drank and laughed at the table, which was relatively relaxed.
Naturally, I don’t dare to drink a lot of wine. I will be busy in the next few months and my throat is very important, so at most I just drink some wine or low-alcohol wine like champagne.
But they eat delicious dishes with open stomachs. For example, Bajie in front of Yin Jun is eating like this.
In comparison, Mr. Yan, who plays Monk Sha, and Mr. Chi, who plays Tang Monk, are much more elegant.
Liu Xiaolingtong and Wang Congqiu were more familiar with Yin Jun, so they were basically the two talking to Yin Jun.
"Compared to the last time I came to Xiangjiang, the construction in Xiangjiang is really changing with each passing day." Liu Xiaolingtong sighed, "When I went to Victoria Harbor the day before yesterday, I saw the construction of the new convention and exhibition center. It was so amazing. Shocked! Only your company, Mr. Jun, can handle such a large project, right?"
"This is nothing. The mainland will develop like this in the future." Yin Jun shook his hand, "Xiangjiang has always been too small and can only survive in a narrow space. It is not like the mainland, where there is a vast world and a lot to do."
Several people laughed when they heard this.
This sentence was said by Mao Zedong, but Yin Jun unexpectedly used it smoothly.
I don’t think it’s strange just thinking about it. In this era, who can’t recite a few words of Mao Zedong?
"Speaking of it, regardless of the economic aspect, I think Kylin TV's TV drama production model, and even Kylin Movie's production model, are worthy of our study." Wang Congqiu said, "When our tour is over, Mr. Jun, you No matter how well you give us guidance, how can we, as a group of people, develop in the future?"
After hearing what Wang Congqiu said, several people looked at Yin Jun in unison.
They still don't know what kind of gains they will get from this trip, but as Wang Congqiu said, a group of them are all young and have now reached the pinnacle of life, so of course they want to continue. You have worked so hard in your career.
As for how to break through oneself, perhaps this key point still lies in the genius of Yin Jun.
Yin Jun did not refuse, and said with a smile, "No problem, we will discuss it carefully after we finish it here!"
"Great! Thank you, Mr. Jun!" Wang Congqiu quickly raised the cup, "Thank you for always taking such good care of us."
"Thank you, Mr. Jun!"
Okay!
The master, senior brother, second junior brother, and third junior brother also raised their glasses. Naturally, Yin Jun couldn't help but show respect, so he raised the glass filled with juice and bumped it with them.
Everyone’s faces were full of smiles.
But Yin Jun was not as happy as they were.
In fact, the young man felt a little sad.
First of all, Master's fate is almost separated from acting, because the famous rich woman has already been in contact with him.
With his days of glory and wealth, his fighting spirit will naturally not be too strong, and it is not surprising that he gradually withdraws from the entertainment industry.
For the remaining three, "Journey to the West" made their lives successful, but it also limited their lives.
In this life, they will never get rid of the shadow engraved on them by "Journey to the West".
Even if they play other roles, people will always default to their classic images in "Journey to the West". They are the serious Monkey Brother, Bajie, and Sha Seng.
Including Teacher Chi, this life is the fate of Yudi and Master Sanzang!
This is like Xiao Yanzi 20 years later. No matter how hard she tries, the first words everyone blurts out when they see her are still "Little Yanzi".
However, although they can't act in other TV series, they can still act in TV series and movies surrounding "Journey to the West".
Yin Junke remembers that with the advancement of special effects in the future, several major movies of "Journey to the West" have appeared on the screen, and have achieved many good results.
It would not be bad if they could film peripheral TV series on weekdays and make a big movie of "Journey to the West" every three to five years.
Based on their age and previous experience, they still have at least 20 years of performing in a group.
In this way, the project "Journey to the West" has been developed to the extreme, and there will be absolutely no waste!
