Chapter 365 Chapter 103 Future Plans
Li Qian had heard of the name "Halfway Couples" in another time and space, but at that time he was still making music and hardly had the habit of watching TV dramas, so he had only heard of it and never watched it. Of course, although a TV series called "Halfway Couple" may appear in two different time and space, it is unlikely to be exactly the same.
In this TV series, the character played by Wang Jinglu is Mingxia, a high school girl who is the daughter of the hero in the play. Li Qian watched and listened to Wang Jinglu's explanation. The one who played her mother in the play was Liu Jingmei, her teacher in the Department of Chinese Opera Acting. This role was also recommended by Liu Jingmei to the crew.
This drama is mainly about the marriage of two middle-aged people. Xiaolu plays Mingxia's parents who divorced when she was in elementary school. Mingxia lived with her mother. Later, her father fell in love and got married again. The main line of the story revolves around Mingxia's father's second marriage, so in this drama, although Mingxia's role is not too small, she can only be regarded as one of the fifth or even sixth female characters. Like, even Teacher Liu Jingmei's role is not too much.
To be honest, Li Qian was not very interested in this kind of family ethics drama before. However, I don’t know if it’s because of his old mentality or something. Anyway, after watching two episodes in one afternoon, he actually found it interesting.
Well, of course, he felt that Wang Jinglu's performance seemed to have improved a lot.
The traces of chiseling are still very heavy, with a feeling of deliberately "acting". In fact, in Li Qian's view, facing such a role, she actually only needs to act in her true colors. play.
But thinking about it again, my acting experience, understanding and judgment of characters are all based on the induction and summary of the film level in another time and space after the second decade of the 21st century. And it's a TV series, it's actually a bit harsh - don't think that progress is only technological means, in fact, no matter whether it is domestic or foreign, even Hollywood and domestic acting stars are always improving with the times.
In fact, from Li Qian's point of view, the film was quite good, and urban ethics dramas are naturally popular with domestic audiences. The male and female protagonists, including the male protagonist's ex-wife played by Teacher Liu Jingmei, Their performances in the play are all remarkable, but to be honest, they still cannot escape the shackles of flat performances in TV dramas.
After watching the TV series, Wang Jinglu took Li Qian to comment for her, and was coaxed to be very happy. She went to the kitchen to make dinner, but Li Qian sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
He is going to enter the film and television industry. Of course, he originally planned to be an actor, but now that he has some money, he wants to start directly as a director. After all, although actors are also his hobby, compared to being able to For a director who has mastered the entire story and the entire play, the actors who are fixed within the framework of the role have little room to play.
To a large extent, every good actor has a director's dream!
Of course, considering that he has never directed any film and television works alone before, although he has made up his mind to make movies in the future, he is not in a hurry, but has made a set of detailed plans for himself.
At the very beginning, he planned to write a song for Liao Liao and He Runqing's new album MVs during this summer vacation. The staff team asked Jin Han and Yu Bojun to make it together, and he also brought a few brothers in his dormitory Come here, and then, enter the junior year, look at the situation in the school, if conditions permit, he plans to shoot a TV series first, and up to now, the script has basically been prepared, and he has even revised it five or six times. Over and over, until now it is basically finalized.
Compared with movies, the difficulty of directing and acting for TV dramas is much lower, and most importantly, the investment is also much lower. For him, it is more appropriate to use a TV series of about 30 episodes to train himself, and use this TV series to inspect a group of people to prepare for making movies in the future.
That's right, this drama is "Legend of the New White Snake".
For this TV series, he plans to set up a separate video department at Minghu Culture to be responsible for this matter. The total investment should be controlled between 10 million and 15 million—Minghu Culture has been established so far It took just over a year, and only three albums were released, but the total sales so far have exceeded 25 million copies. Although the funds have not been fully recovered, it is still worth spending tens of millions to make a TV series. It will not affect the normal operation of the company.
To be honest, even if the filming of the TV series fails in the end and the money is wasted, he can afford it now.
…………
While eating dinner, many phone calls came in, so Wang Jinglu only ate half a bowl of rice before answering the phone.
Tao Huijun called to say that the acting was good, and Teacher Liu Jingmei also called specially. Of course, there are also a few of her girlfriends—whether it is Xiao Qiao in the Three Kingdoms, or Mingxia in this "Halfway Couples", the role of the play Of course it’s not heavy, but for a student at the School of Drama, being able to get two such roles successively, and still act decently, is already a remarkable achievement. I'm envious.
After dinner, when the two of them went out for a walk, Li Qian suddenly remembered something and asked her: "You should be considered a famous student in your school, right? Is there any agency or something to contact you? "
Wang Jinglu nodded when she heard the words, "Yes, but I didn't agree, I'm still in school!"
Li Qian nodded when he heard the words, and didn't ask any more questions.
…………
After only a few episodes, Sun Ce died.
Sun Ce's death means that Li Qian's first small-screen tour is officially over, and then, the "China Entertainment Daily" hype about his so-called "scandal", in the absence of any response from both parties, naturally It just disappeared. Although many people on the Internet are still discussing it with relish, and Li Qian unknowingly left an impression of "this guy is a bit of a playboy", but I have to say that without the randomness of those reporters The report was really quite quiet.
Of course, what One Step Three Kingdoms brings is not just gossip, but also exposure.
When Sun Ce was about to die, Da Qiao's crying and sorrowful appearance instantly touched many TV viewers who didn't feel much at first. Although Wang Jingxue's acting skills were quite sloppy, but she was beautiful, she was originally a woman. With a huge advantage, relying on such a scene, Wang Jingxue's first electric shock on the small screen was praised by many people as "good acting skills".
Moreover, several companies had already contacted, hoping that Wang Jingxue could shoot an advertisement for them or be an endorsement. After this night, more people called or came over in person.
Among them, there are many companies that hope that Wang Jingxue and Wang Jinglu sisters will appear together.
After receiving the report from the agency department, Qi Jie talked to Wang Jingxue in person. Wang Jingxue did not reject accepting commercial endorsements, but she hoped to wait until the new album was released—especially, even though it might only be her and Li Qian. I know, but she believes that Li Qian must keep his word, so she is quite looking forward to Li Qian's promise to make an album for her alone, so, in her opinion, whether it is from the advertising fee From a point of view, or from the perspective of the grade of the endorsed product, the best time for her to accept the endorsement is when the album is released.
After all, she doesn't want to accept a lot of endorsements as soon as she became popular like she did when she was in Huage Records, and she has everything in a mess-although she can earn a lot of money, she herself will feel very uncomfortable.

Monday, July 10.
Whether it is for Minghu culture, for the entire domestic pop music scene, or for the current summer record war, this is undoubtedly an extremely important day.
He Runqing's new album "The Price of Love" is officially released.
For Minghu Culture, this is the third album released by the company this year. After the first two albums have completed their tasks smoothly, even supernormally, and are still harvesting the summer record market, this year Minghu Culture's first The three big tricks are also a blockbuster used to compete with various albums that will be released and released in the summer. Of course, there is no room for loss.
As for He Runqing herself, after her last album successfully completed her transformation, her popularity has skyrocketed, but her status has not been completely stabilized. Therefore, this second album is of course extremely important.
Therefore, her new album launch conference was held quite grandly. Not only Minghu Culture came out in full force, but also friends He Runqing had made in the music industry for many years also came to join her.
It just so happened that this day was the day when Dongguan Bookstore's album sales rankings were released.
Zheng Guofeng and his "Winter Rose" became popular as expected but surprisingly, with an astonishing sales of 33,518 copies in a single week, they took the top spot in the ranking list in one fell swoop!
10,387 in the first week, 24,664 in the second week, and 33,518 in the third week... There is no doubt that the latest love song player launched by Xinda has become an instant hit! And it's red to purple!
His future is simply limitless!
Under him, after being killed by the sudden rise of Huang Yuqing the year before last, the heavenly king Liu Mingliang, who was not as powerful as before, unsurprisingly won a single-week sales of 26,511 copies in the second week of the new album's release. It seems that he has regained his stability, but it has to be said that he was once again tragically killed by a rising star!
In the second week, he had the peak sales according to common sense, but he lost to the completely unreasonable "Winter Rose"! And like Huang Yuqing back then, stepping on the throne of the Heavenly King also made Zheng Guofeng's popularity even more impressive and convincing!
Behind the two of them, of course, are the two albums "Women's Flower" and "Witch's Tears", which have already come to the eighth week of release. The sales of these two albums are still in a steady decline. "Flower" ranked third with 26,193 copies, while "Witch's Tears" ranked fourth with 25,771 copies.
The four of them jointly won nearly 70% of the total sales of records in Dongguan Bookstore this week, which can be called a dominance!
But it's just the first of the Summer Record Wars!
For Minghu Culture, Liao Liao took the lead before the summer vacation, Rose Power's new album was responsible for occupying the summer vacation, and He Runqing's "The Price of Love" was really responsible for the summer record competition.
Today, although Liao Liao's album has been at the top of the charts for seven weeks, it has finally slipped to the third place in the fierce competition, and it is not her best achievement to win consecutively for seven weeks. But counting the total sales in the first eight weeks, she is still the absolute No. 1 in herself and the entire domestic record market.
Moreover, although she slipped to the third place, the sales volume of more than 26,000 copies in Dongguan Bookstore in a single week not only makes her not far from the top two. Her sales have passed the peak period, and may even overtake them at any time, and even now, she still has a great deterrent effect on the singers and record companies who are about to join the battle.
Next, He Runqing joined the battle!
Minghu Culture has these two queens. It can be said that in such a fierce summer record competition, it is already firmly invincible!
…………
On July 13, after nearly two months of filming, "Scallion Love" was officially announced to be completed.
Li Qian, as the main creator, of course rushed to the set in person on this day, witnessed the filming of the last scene of the crew, and then went to eat his first wrap-up banquet in this time and space with the crew.
During the filming of this drama, he came to visit the set many times. Those who should know him had already known each other, and he was even very familiar with him. The three leading actors, Cheng Suping, Feng Shaocheng and Wu Fan, and the main creators like Li Qian and Cao Zhan also drank a lot. In the end, everyone drank a little too much.
When the banquet was over, the others supported each other and went back to the hotel rented by the film crew to rest, but Yu Bojun, Cao Zhan, Jin Han and Li Qian changed rooms, wanted a pot of tea, sat smoking and chatting.
Cao Zhan plans to go back to Jinan Mansion in the second half of this year, or before the end of the year at the latest. For him, although he can hide away for a while, it is not a problem to leave all the mess at home to his wife. Son.
Of course, before leaving, he will go to Minghuwen to be in charge of making the soundtrack for "Love in Scallions".
And Yu Bojun's next task, of course, is to cut out the film as soon as possible, and then do post-production, and from now on, he will consider making a feasible distribution plan for this film.
After all, the film is made to sell, to let more people see it. What's more, compared to the box office, Yu Bojun is actually more looking forward to the word-of-mouth that this film can bring to him-even though he himself knows that the word-of-mouth may not be so good!
Still the same sentence, it doesn’t mean that if you make a literary film, you are awesome. There are good and bad literary films. If you make a good film, it is called a literary film.

My finger still hurts, and I feel that taking medicine doesn’t help... The doctor advised me to rest for at least half a month, stay away from the computer as much as possible, and don’t touch the mouse, type or touch the keyboard. However, is that possible? I can still ask for leave from work, but I need code words, and I have to update it every day...
Does anyone know a recipe or something? Can you share it?
