Chapter 385 The Affiliation of Those Roles

In August, there are three major events in Minghu Culture.

The first thing is Liao Liao's world tour concert.

Yes, this time it’s not just domestic. According to market research and the data from the company’s distribution network in Southeast Asia, Qi Jie and the others analyzed that Liao Liao and He Runqing, both in terms of influence and box office appeal , and already have the foundation to carry out concert tours in various parts of Southeast Asia.

Therefore, it is no longer domestic, but can be called "global" in an upright manner.

He Runqing just held a five consecutive concert tour last year. If we do it now, even if we don’t consider the audience and fans will be diverted by Liao Liao, the two concerts are still too close to each other after all. Or less will definitely affect the attendance rate. So after consideration, He Runqing's world tour concert will be held at the turn of spring and summer next year.

In the five years since his debut, he has released a total of four albums and one single. The cumulative domestic sales of albums have exceeded 40 million, and the total overseas sales have also infinitely approached the 30 million mark. Liao Liao, who has sold 70 million albums, is an absolute superstar who is unmatched in the domestic music scene today, Liao Liao, the national queen, and Liao Liao, who is also a representative of Chinese music and Chinese music in the world...Finally, he is about to open It's a concert.

There is no doubt that this will be one of the most important events in the domestic music scene today.

Counting the current domestic music scene, if there is only one person, only one person, who can safely let the performance contractors spend their money hard, and will never worry about whether the tickets will sell well, then there must be no one else , only Liao Liao.

According to the company's internal discussions, and after discussing with several top performers in China and Southeast Asia, Qi Jie and the others preliminarily determined that Liao Liao's first global concert tour will start in late September and last until October. In mid-January, the time will last for more than two months, a total of nine weeks. The preliminary finalized performances are a total of 24 performances.

The general arrangement is one game every Friday night, then take a day off, change the city, and have another game on Sunday night, which is considered routine! But there will also be a few extra encores, so that adds up to twenty-four.

Among these 24 performances, it is planned to arrange 15 performances in China, that is, from late September to late October. After the 15 performances in China, they will go to Southeast Asia to perform another 9 performances.

Moreover, Liao Liao's 24 performances are different from the so-called tour concerts advocated by some singers. Not only her word "global" is genuine, but the word "large" is also not mixed with any water. of.

Although this performance is too big, currently there is no performance company in China and Southeast Asia that has the qualifications and strength to undertake it from the beginning to the end. Therefore, in China alone, the performances in various places have to be signed to three different performance companies. The Southeast Asian side is also arranged separately by two performance companies, but at present, no matter which performance company it is, when looking for and confirming a performance venue, it will definitely choose the largest venue within the range of choices!

According to the preliminary information feedback, the smallest performance venue is also a stadium that can accommodate 13,000 spectators at the same time to watch the concert, while the largest one is Songjiang Prefecture No. 1 Stadium. After completing the necessary stage reconstruction After that, that stadium will be able to accommodate 43,000 spectators at the same time!

And even on average, each of Liao Liao's 24 concerts will have more than 21,000 seats!

After all the concerts are over, if all the tickets can be sold, this large-scale global concert tour will sell a total of 500,000 tickets! And the total bid price of these tickets will most likely be as high as 210 million yuan!

At that time, this will be the unparalleled first concert in the Chinese music scene, and Liao Liao may even take this opportunity to become one of the world's most popular music superstars.

For these 24 concerts, Minghu Culture signed contracts with five performance companies at home and abroad, and won a performance fee of 116 million in one go. Afterwards, the company will hold a bidding meeting , to auction off all the naming rights for this global concert tour, and the live advertisements for a total of 12 concerts, including five in Southeast Asia and seven in China, which were obtained through separate negotiations. number.

Of course, custom-made costume design costs money, stage design, lighting design, backup dancers, sound engineers, equipment rental, etc. These technical investments all require Minghu Culture to pay for it, which is not a small expense. But all in all, after three months of hard work, Liao Liao's personal income from this concert tour will be as high as 60 million!

And as of now, for more than a year, her first album "Grateful Heart" released after coming to Minghu Culture has sold more than 10 million copies, and the sales share she has received is only more than 22 million!

Not counting "Women's Flower", her total personal income from the three best-selling albums in the past four years is only about 40 million yuan, and the expected income of this "Women's Flower" is only over 60 million yuan. , a world tour concert, that's the price - it's the sum of her five-year debut income!

Of course, this concert tour brought a total income of more than 60 million to Minghu Culture! It is basically the same as the total income of Minghu Culture last year!

In the words of Liao Liao and Qi Jie joking in private, "If he wants to make a TV series, he can do it. A man is a child until he dies. Children, there is no one who doesn't like to play! If you pay, you will pay, isn't it just 30 million yuan?" Well, I can afford it!"

Of course, in the face of such a major event, both Liao Liao and Qi Jie obviously hope that Li Qian can preside over it personally, or at least be responsible for joining in the preliminary preparations, but it is obvious that Li Qian has no It's that time.

So, at the end of July, he contacted Xie Mingyuan who was on vacation in France, hoping that he could return to China and serve as the music director for Liao Liao's concert, but Xie Mingyuan declined. In desperation, He Wei, the new deputy director of music of Minghu Culture, was appointed as the music director of Liao Liao's world tour concert.

The second major event of Minghu Culture is the pre-publicity before the release of the first album of the Rose Power group. It has officially kicked off. It has been two years since the company was established. There are more than 50 people, plus so many successful publicity experiences before, it is just a step-by-step investment at this time.

And Rose Power will get a short vacation after finishing the shooting of the album MV. After entering September, it will start to run around like He Runqing now.

The third major event of Minghu Culture is the official establishment of the video department.

Jin Han served as the video director, and several members of his small team signed in at that time, and officially became the staff of the video department of Minghu Culture, while Han Shunzhang became the manager of the video department.

At the same time, the establishment of the video department also means that the preliminary preparations for the TV series "Legend of the New White Snake" have entered the middle stage - when contacting with the outside world, they have already relied on something.

In the first ten days of August, when He Runqing's album was singing steadily in the record market, after repeated screenings, interviews, and re-recommendations, re-selections, re-screening, and re-interviews, the actors for many roles began to be determined.

For example, Li Gongfu, this is an important supporting role throughout the play. In another time-space classic, the actor who played Li Gongfu is obviously quite successful. The actor's guiding ideas will definitely focus on that approach.

It is finally determined that Li Gongfu will be played by an old actor Hua Runlai from Shuntianfu Lihua Theatre.

And his partner in the play also appointed another actor at the Shuntianfu Drama Theater, Chen Xinfang.

Li Qian met with the two of them in detail, and felt that the image of the two of them is more in line with the image of the sister and brother-in-law who are kind, sincere and not very scheming, and the acting skills of the two... the main actors of the Shuntianfu Lihua Theater , this is the best guarantee.

The other important role, Fa Hai, was finally recommended by Feng Yumin after several rejections. He was Zhou Yuhai, an associate professor in the Acting Department of Songjiang Drama Academy. He is fat and big, with kind eyebrows and good intentions at first glance, and with a shaved head, he naturally looks like a master, but when he squints his eyes and smiles slightly, he has a bit of treachery and city government—to tell the truth Yes, at first sight, Li Qian was astonished by the other party, and felt that he was even better than the original Fa Hai!

The role of Qi Baoshan can be regarded as a great martial arts student, but he has to be a bit naive. To be honest, there is not much to choose in terms of acting skills, and his pursuit of Li Bilian's little tragedy is not important in this drama, so the actor There are not too many things that can be played. It can be said that as long as the image is suitable, in the contemporary domestic actor circle, there are a lot of handsome niches like this.

So in the end, it was decided that it was a related family of Jin Han—this guy was named Ming Hai, surnamed Ming, named Hai, handsome, had practiced martial arts for two years, had a certain foundation, and looked very heroic, but Stupid - of course, he just looks like a simple and honest person, but he is actually quite smart.

He was born in Yeluzi, and after attending a film and television school in Shuntian Mansion for a year, he began to come out to do martial arts. When Jin Han was working as a photographer for others, he went out to shoot movies. The two slept in a room in a small hotel and often went out together. Drinking nonsense, even if the relationship is handed over, by this year, that guy has already run three times, and he still runs around playing some small supporting roles. This time there happened to be such a role, and Jin Han helped him win it. Li Qian saw On the one hand, it felt good, and Qi Baoshan, the image of a great martial arts student, fit well, so I sold Jin Han to save face and agreed directly.

Then, um, the King of Golden Cymbals... It's fun to say.

A few days ago, Wu Shaojun, the actor who played Yuan Shu, who Li Qian met while filming "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", unexpectedly called suddenly, saying that he wanted to come to Li Qian's company for a visit. Of course, Li Qian welcomes it.

As a result, he brought a boy and a half over directly, and when he talked about it, he found out that it was his son, who was in the second year of middle school in the new semester, and he was a small fan of Li Qian and Liao Liao. It is said that he was interested in music I wasn't interested either, but somehow I became more and more interested in music, and recently I was clamoring to learn music.

Wu Shaojun is an actor. There has always been a family of performers in China. Naturally, he also knows a lot of friends who make music, but after thinking about it, he thinks that Li Qian's brand is the biggest, so he brought his son directly to kill him. For another reason, let Li Qian help recommend a teacher to teach his son the piano.

Of course, this matter can be dealt with at once. There are many teachers at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music who have individual training classes. Li Qian has some friendship with many people at the Conservatory of Music. A hello thing.

Then, Li Qian helped to make a call, and Wang Huaiyu agreed very happily, even if he took over the matter, Wu Shaojun was naturally satisfied when he heard that it was a training class held by a professor from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music. Then, the matter was settled, and the two sat down to chat. Wu Shaojun was surprised when he heard that Li Qian was going to direct a play by himself. He even said that he hadn't heard anything from the circle before, and asked what kind of play it was. As soon as I heard that it was a remake of "The Legend of the White Snake", I was immediately very interested, and said directly, "Don't worry about more dramas, just give me a role!"

When Li Qian thought about it, there really was a suitable one!

Well, that is the Golden Cymbal Dharma King!

In the original version, the bearded face of the King of Golden Cymbals looks domineering at first glance, but in fact, most of them have a sinister style, and Wu Shaojun, an old drama player, can handle such a small role with ease.

So, it was settled.

Wu Shaojun, who played Yuan Shu, starred in the play King of the Golden Cymbals.

And then, the role of Yang Zhixian in the play was quickly confirmed. Because Li Qian followed Wu Shaojun for a little while, and immediately remembered that Feng Shaocheng who played the role of Butler Zhou in "Love of Green Onion" had that cheap, whizzing little look, which was actually better than the few actors Zhao He and the others recommended during the meeting. It is also more suitable to play the role of Yang Zhixian.

The so-called network is like this. Li Qian entered the industry late, and he just entered this circle. In fact, for many old guys in the circle, as soon as the script of a play comes out, many actors jump out of their minds—— People are so familiar that they don't even need an audition at all.

Then, um, there is another important character, whose death is not confirmed yet, but basically confirmed, and that is Li Bilian.

This role does not need to be too beautiful, nor too beautiful, but acting requires a little bit, and it must be youthful and beautiful, so there is no doubt that whether it is the Shuntian Film Academy or the Huaxia Drama Academy, they are still in school. Among the group of acting students, there must be someone who is suitable for this role.

Wang Jinglu recommended her best friend Shen Tiantian.

Therefore, the fourth most important female character in the play is Shen Tiantian.

In short, and so on, some minor and slightly minor characters in the play have found suitable personnel one after another. Even the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the play, although Li Qian has not announced it to the public, he is already ready to let He Runqing come. Make a cameo. However, the roles of the three most important protagonists in the play—Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing—have not been finalized for a long time.
