Chapter 1151
.. While chatting, a waiter from the backstage came to remind Wei Canchai that he was ready. Simon retracted the dagger that was holding the girl in front of her chin, and gestured to the side. Princess Xu, who was kneeling on the carpet, understood and obediently moved to the side After leaving the couch in the middle, he got up, looked around curiously, and accidentally found an acquaintance.
Miss Yu.
Both of them are from Beijing Film Academy. Princess Xu is from the 88th class, and Teacher Yu is from the 89th class. They are both from the acting department. They have had a lot of contact during school.
Teacher Yu, who was squeezed on the sofa in the back row with several waitresses, looked at Princess Xu. Because Chen Qing could dress up like herself, she took a moment to recognize each other, and she was a little embarrassed. However, since he recognized it, he could only nod his head in greeting.
Princess Xu was not polite. She glanced at Chen Qing and a certain man beside her. Seeing that neither of them paid attention to her, she walked over and squeezed beside Teacher Yu who offered to give up her seat, and asked in a low voice: "You Why are you here?"
Teacher Yu turned his thoughts around and said, "Have you read the latest "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?"
Princess Xu nodded, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.
Teacher Yu gestured to Li Youhu who was hugged by Chen Xingwei in the front row on a single sofa: "I am Youhu's performance teacher."
Princess Xu was a little surprised, and then remembered the recent report in the American media that Li Youhu, one of the heroines of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", was expected to be nominated for an Oscar at the end of the year. But he also complimented: "Then you are really amazing."
The two suddenly fell silent after speaking.
Teacher Yu didn't ask why Princess Xu appeared here.
However, apart from some superficial reasons, in fact... not all are obvious.
Teacher Yu didn't know what Princess Xu was thinking, but seeing the man who was whispering something to Chen Qing on the sofa in the front row, she felt more resentful.
How many women are there around you?
When the silence between the two was about to turn into embarrassment, the lights off the stage were dimmed, and the lights on the stage were turned on.
Wei Cancha walked onto the stage, holding a short sword, wearing a Qin and Han style white printed deep dress, with red edges on the neckline and sleeves, which made the simple elegance reveal a bit of coldness.
After Wei Canchai got into his pose, the soundtrack of Twelve Hairpins on one side of the stage sounded.
Amidst the passionate music, Wei Canchai began to dance, like a wisp of catkins about to fall, and there seemed to be some desolation in the lightness.
The singing sounded immediately.
*...
*The sand in the Chu River gathers and disperses,
*The vicissitudes of the sun and the moon are changing,
*How many beauties change in troubled times with a long sigh.
*Who once the giant deer stepped through the Qin Pass,
*Thousands of miles are bloody,
*After all, it's just a breeze.
*...
Teacher Yu in the audience listened carefully and quickly understood the general meaning of the song.
Some time ago, Li Youhu and Wei Canchai had a private chat. They mentioned that they were preparing a song and dance about Concubine Yu. Teacher Yu was not there at the time, but at this moment, he knew that the girl on stage was performing Yu Concubine. Ji.
A song that has never been heard before, it is easy to guess who made it at this time.
Because of the resentment towards someone, Teacher Yu couldn't help but be a little harsh, and felt that the lyrics...are just average, at best better than those popular songs in China, and it's not amazing.
Even the songs are far less good than the Wei Cancha dance on stage.
really good.
However, this harsh mood only lasted for more than a minute. When the refrain sounded, the amazing opera tone made Mr. Yu feel like his hairs were standing on end.
*...
* Gaixia is chaotic, and the songs of Chu are everywhere.
* With sorrow, resigning from the king, drinking the sword, and the blood falling into frost.
*It's hard to let go of a piece of the past, so why not.
*The place where your soul returns is boundless.
*...
stunning.
It can only be described as amazing.
Even when the chorus sounded for the second time, Teacher Yu opened his mouth involuntarily and echoed silently.
At the end of the three-minute song, everyone in the venue applauded subconsciously, and at the same time felt a strange feeling: my boss must have been Chinese in his previous life.
All right.
Inadvertently almost hit the truth.
It was a very fast song, and the rhythm of Wei Canchai's choreography was naturally fast. After the performance ended, he slowed down a little before getting up. Seeing the man in the audience giving him a thumbs up gesture, he smiled and picked up his skirt. Bai directly jumped off the stage, came to the man, and was hugged by Simon directly.
"It's a great dance."
"It's the boss's well-written song, but it's really tiring to dance, and my heart is pounding."
"Oh, let me feel it."
"Okay." Wei Cancha took the initiative to grab the man's big hand and pressed it to his chest, and he did not forget to greet Chen Qing beside him: "Sister Chen, you are here too."
Chen Qing nodded, then looked at Simon again: "Boss, what's the name of this song?"
""Yu Xitan"."
"It's such an amazing song, and the name is good, it makes people think of Farewell My Concubine," Chen Qing said, and suddenly said with emotion: "Maybe, boss, we can make a movie, the real "Farewell My Concubine" ",How about it?"
"There should be no shortage of similar themes in China, right?"
"I mean, just make a movie out of this song,
Like Love Calls Forward. "
What Simon thought of again was the "Legend of the Banquet of the Hongmen", which Miao Miao had participated in, and the other "The King's Feast". Neither of the two related films was considered a success.
As for the reason, it is hard to say.
In the film industry, there are one hundred reasons for success, and one hundred reasons for failure.
It's still a gamble anyway.
However, if you really want to make a movie based on this song, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. Of course, if we focus on the love between Bawang and Concubine Yu, we will inevitably have to do a lot of adaptations, which will inevitably be criticized in the future such as tampering with history. Not only that, the historical background of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony inevitably means that this will be a big production, and it would be better not to make a small fuss.
Thinking of this, Simon said to Chen Qing: "How about this, you take the time to send a demo of this song to China, find some screenwriters to try on their own, first write the script and let me have a look."
Chen Qing nodded.
Simon didn't forget the fragrant and soft girl in his arms, he looked at Wei Canchai and said, "By the way, do you want to play Concubine Yu?"
Wei Canchai thought of Li Youhu's recent scenery, of course his heart was moved, but although she was a road idiot, the girl was still very clear about the direction of her life, calmed down quickly, and said: "Boss, I think I am more suitable dancing."
Simon put his arms around the girl's slender waist, and there was something else in his smile: "Dancing has no future. If you miss this opportunity, you may regret it in the future."
Wei Canchai blinked and said suddenly: "Boss, if I've been by your side all the time, you won't make me regret it, right?"
Simon was stunned for a moment, leaned over to kiss the girl's lips, nodded, and assured, "Of course."
After all, dancing does not have much future. If you switch to become an actor, you will have Simon as a big backer, just like Li Youhu, who can easily reach a height that others may not be able to achieve in a lifetime. In the future, when the Chinese film and television industry starts If you rise up, you can take advantage of the trend to become a master, and it is not impossible to 60 million in four days.
However, if the girl in front of him really stays with him wholeheartedly, he can easily give her a better life than 60 million in four days.
like now.
The daily treatment of the girls of the Guofeng Art Troupe is still at the level of princesses, and even the run-down royal princesses of some small European countries cannot do miracles.
After resting for a while while chatting like this, Simon pushed the girl whose little heart was no longer beating in his arms again: "Go, dance for me again."
Wei Cancha got up obediently and returned to the stage.
I praised it again, and began to change to other songs such as "Human Meeting", and so on until the evening, and returned to the manor where I stayed yesterday.
After everyone had dinner together, Chen Qing got the chance to talk with Simon alone.
In the study room of the villa.
Chen Qinglai reported on the work during this period of time on Simon's lap, and finally talked about some things about Jinshu. After all, she also saw clearly that the industries that the boss invested in China were the key points. Jinshu and other aspects, because The volume is too small, it can only be regarded as a play ticket.
However, because of the popular domestic projects "Super Girl" and "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" during this period, the original fun tickets seem to have signs of changing their nature.
"Not counting the second season of next year, and the follow-up long-term income of "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", just say that within this year, the two projects will probably bring Jinshu a net profit of no less than 50 million yuan, 50 million yuan Ah, now in the domestic circle, many TV dramas can earn a lot of money if they transfer hundreds of thousands or one or two million, so recently some people don't like us."
Simon flipped through the final joint venture project plan of Jingjiang Shipyard in Jiangsu, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We make a lot of money. I'm jealous. I'd better report it. It's disgusting. There is nothing wrong with "Kangxi", mainly "Super Girl", because our entry requirement is over 16 years old, and some people attacked and said that this program is misleading. Minors chasing incorrect values, that’s about it anyway.”
Simon just hummed.
He was also an insider in his previous life, and Simon is quite used to this. Moreover, since Chen Qing said it at this time, the problem has probably been solved. Even if it can't be solved, the project has been blocked, which is not a pain for Simon now. .
However, thinking about it on a deeper level, it seems that Jin Shu is a bit too sharp.
Need to collect it.
Seeing that her boss didn't care much, Chen Qing didn't go into details about how she planned to deal with the whistleblower. She put her arms around the man's neck and put a sticker on him, asking, "Boss, what are you thinking?" ?”
"Consider making a few bad movies and lose some money."
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, and said with a smile: "That's right, the net profit of the two TV projects is 50 million, and the "Speak Well", the money Jinshu earns in a year is equivalent to It’s been ten years for some other colleagues, and it will definitely make people jealous if it continues like this. But, um, with the boss around, we want to lose money, doesn’t it seem to be an easy thing?”
Simon had a look of approving Chen Qing's flattery: "Yes, this is the difficulty."
"hehe."
As a joke, Simon thought about it again, and said seriously: "Well, let's continue to support a few subsidiaries, don't use the prefix Jinshu, and cross-hold as much as possible, so that others don't know that we are standing behind the scenes. Or, at least on the surface Less conspicuous."
"Actually, boss, I don't think it's a big problem. It's like the last time Jinshu Film and Television City was reported.
With "Super Girl" this time, isn't there nothing wrong? "
"The thing is like this, but it is definitely not a good thing to be always remembered by others. It is necessary to restrain yourself." Simon said: "There should be a lot of media companies in China in recent years. You can operate them yourself, think about these The company initiates the acquisition, and then cooperates with Jinshu, and the distribution of some projects can be mainly based on those companies. By the way, there are also TV stations, which can also share some profits, so that Jinshu can also indirectly obtain a platform for public opinion."
"Then, boss, I will make arrangements next time when I go back." Chen Qing listened carefully, nodded and said with a smile, "But, if this is the case, boss, maybe all media companies in China will have relationships with Jinshu in the future." Inextricably linked, this should be more eye-catching than just supporting Jinshu now, right?"
Simon smiled and asked, "Is it eye-catching?"
Chen Qing tilted her head, then shook her head, and couldn't help feeling that her boss's understanding of Chinese culture was no worse than that of a native.
very simple.
What some people want is just a 'deception', as long as they can't see or hear, it doesn't exist.
Even if Jinshu's future projects are still led by this side, as long as it is a shell of another company, Jinshu will try to hide behind the scenes as much as possible. Even if the circle knows some inside information, as long as you don't tell me, it doesn't matter.
As for the loss of benefits, frankly speaking, Chen Qing didn't care much about it.
Not to mention anything else, it's just "Super Girl". Everyone watching this show is beautiful, and it can bring tens of millions of profits to Jinshu. "The Nongfu Spring mineral water brand, with the rapid rise in popularity in recent months, is expected to reach the threshold of 100 million yuan in profits in the next two to three years.
The profit margin of mineral water is very high.
Not to mention the various other large projects invested by the Westeros system in the fields of real estate, steel, machinery, technology, video, etc. in China.
Even, Chen Qing thinks that for Jinshu, her boss is more of a personal hobby, even if it is used to pick up girls, it may be more useful than making money.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing picked up the topic and asked, "By the way, boss, how about the gift I brought you this time?"
From Chen Qing's smile, Simon clearly said that it was Princess Xu. He was not very interested in this once famous butterfly in the circle, but it was fine to raise it. He leaned into Chen Qing's ear and said, "It's her tonight. Wait for someone to..."
After Chen Qing heard this, Ting Qiao, who was sitting on her boss's lap, tensed subconsciously. She didn't know whether it was excitement or nervousness: "Boss, shall I come too?"
"You forget it."
"Boss, you said that you like this." Chen Qing blushed slightly, and said again: "By the way, there is also "Super Girl". Do you want to see it?"
"I don't have time, help me choose."
"Well, that, it's still according to the boss's previous taste, don't you want to change it?"
Simon thought of something, moved his arms around Chen Qing's slender waist, and said with a smile, "Pick the bigger one."
