Chapter 366 Musical Talent?
With the release of blockbusters such as "Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" and "Reign of Heaven", "Cruel Street" has gradually been released. The final results are released, with a box office of 35.6 million in the mainland, HK$28.6 million in Hong Kong, and HK$28.6 million in Taiwan. NT$19 million (equivalent to NT$4.5 million), and the box office in Southeast Asia is close to NT$16 million…
The box office in Asia exceeded 80 million!
Nothing wrong!
The media all reported that "Cruel Streets" set a new record for co-productions, or "Jiahe Three Years to Sharpen a Sword" or something like that...
Therefore, even though Shen Xudong has not received many interviews recently, there are still many reports about him.
"I think this is thanks to the distribution power of Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest has more than 200 theaters across Asia. Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan account for one-third of the theater market. Cooperating with them means that your film can be distributed. There are still regions in these countries... No, Taiwan needs to draw lots..."
"We will definitely continue to cooperate... I went to the United States some time ago to meet with Gong Li specifically to convince her to film our next film."
"Zheng Baorui will direct it, and Golden Harvest will be responsible for Hong Kong and overseas distribution... The leading actor has not been decided yet. I personally want to find Deng Chao..."
"I know him. Apart from acting and playing basketball, this guy has no other hobbies and doesn't care..."
"The new movie is called "Laoqian"... a trilogy planned by "Laoqian", let's see the effect of the first one..." After a pause, Shen Xudong frowned: "You ask me something related to Senior Chen Hao's album, I also wrote about it There are five songs!”
The reporter immediately asked: "... Xudong, why don't you release an album yourself?"
"First, because it's too troublesome and I have to sing all kinds of songs; second, because I don't sing well..."
"Is there a music company looking for someone to help you release an album?"
"Yes, and there are a lot of them! Teacher Yadong was trying to persuade me just now... But I know how much I weigh, and singing, I really am not that material!"
"Then do you know Guo Jingming's album "Mystery"?"
"I don't know... His one is just for fans, right?"
"Then how do you evaluate this behavior?"
Shen Xudong thought for a moment, and then replied: "I don't think we should work so hard when cutting leeks. We have to give the leeks a natural growth cycle... fishing in the marsh is not a good way!"
Well, Guo Jingming released an album...
Later, Han Han's album was actually influenced by Guo Jingming - Guo Jingming was preparing to release an album "Hidden". When other music companies heard the news, they felt there were business opportunities.
So I kept trying to persuade Han Han to release an album. After half a year of fooling around, I finally persuaded Han Han to go and have some fun. Signed with Universal Tianyun and collaborated with Chang Shilei and others. The production cycle was longer. About a year and two months later than Guo Jingming, he released an album "Eighteen Forbidden", which included eight original songs (lyrics) and two covers. .
Filmmaking is also...
Guo Jingming first filmed "Little Times", and then Han Han filmed "We Will Never See You Again"...
In fact, "Mystery" is a musical novel, which has ten songs, and there is a long monologue after each song...
Every song is written by Guo Jingming!
Guo Jingming is quite talented. The lyrics of "I Shine the Most" and "Time Cooks the Rain" are very good!
Well, "I Shine the Most"...I guess Kuainan will contact Shen Xudong...
After all, he is an insider.
…
At the end of the album press conference, the reporters left, but the fans refused to leave. Chen Hao sang two more songs, and then left at the urging of the staff.
"The guaranteed sales volume is 200,000 copies?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "I heard from them that the first edition printed 200,000 copies!"
“I hope there will be good reviews!”
"It should be about hoping there will be songs that break the circle..."
"What is a circle-breaking song?"
"It's just that apart from your fans, it's very popular... For example, Zhao Yanzi's "There Was a Girl" and "The Spell of Love" are not only listened to by her fans..."
Chen Hao still doesn’t quite understand…
Well, she has no experience in this area...
"In short, after the album is released, except for necessary promotional activities, don't show up...especially the comments on the Internet, you will definitely be scolded, so don't read it!"
"...I will soon join the crew to film "Greater Dunhuang"..."
""Greater Dunhuang"?"
"CCTV drama!"
Well, directed by Chen Jialin, CCTV's annual drama, starring Tang Guoqiang, You Tang Guoqiang, Huang Haibing...Chen Hao is of course the heroine!
CCTV took the initiative to find Chen Hao, and it was difficult for the company to refuse.
…
Chen Hao's time is very precious, and she can shoulder the responsibility of Tianmei Agency by herself.
Now that I've entered the music scene again, I didn't have much rest time to begin with, but I'm even busier this time...
The new album press conference is over, and I have to return to the crew immediately to continue filming!
As for online discussions...
Most people are not optimistic about it: ‘Nowadays, anyone in the mainland entertainment industry who has a mouth will produce a special one’;
‘Although I don’t hate her, I definitely won’t buy her album if it comes out! ’;
'After all, she is not a professional singer, and her voice is not very good...'
There have been too many actors releasing albums recently, and even those who are slightly famous have to do cross-border projects. The Four Dans and Double Ice all have their own albums or singles, no exceptions!
It makes everyone very annoyed...
Because there aren’t many good ones.
Shen Xudong wrote something on his blog to help promote it:
"Senior Sister's album is something we promised her. Her previous management company had a good relationship with the Japanese musician Tetsuya Komuro, so we couldn't lose our status! So we found Zhang Aidong..."
"Senior sister's voice condition is not particularly good. She can't go up in high notes and can't go down in bass. If you ask me, it's just KTV level... But I have already agreed, so I must do it well!"
"I originally planned to arrange the entire album, but... it was too time-consuming... Then I participated. I wrote three songs at the beginning and produced a demo... They were very satisfied and asked me for two more songs, and I added the previous ones. I sent "Leo" and "Wind Blowing Wheat Waves" which I wrote out of boredom..."
"Actually, if I didn't work as a film and television producer, I would probably make music, but I don't have any feelings about music, or I'm very pessimistic about the entire record industry..."
"In fact, the record industry is in decline, and pirated music sources have caused genuine record companies to lose money. The only way to make music is commercial performance, but commercial performance...songs are not the decisive factor, but popularity is. And gaining popularity is the most direct The only way is to show off your voice on music programs...Under this premise, old songs are more important, so...in five to ten years at most, Chinese original music will probably dry up!"
"The above is just my humble opinion... Now we still have Jay Chou!"
"To be honest, I feel like I have some talent in music... Of course, I know what everyone will say: no work, nothing!
In addition to the five songs written for Chen Hao, they include "All the World" from "The Best in the World", the ending song "The Sound of Falling Snow" from "The Golden Branch", and the interlude "The Thread" from "Legend of Sword and Fairy" "Drama"...I wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and even participated in the arrangement..."
"If you think it's good, you can buy a copy of "Chen Hao" and listen to it to get a feel for it..."
It was this blog that earned him the title of musical talent...
Well, it should be said that talent cannot be concealed!
