Chapter 390 0390, The Best Love Movie (1)
In the competition for the new song popularity list this year, Panda Entertainment and Penguin Entertainment spent a lot of resources and funds, but the result was an ugly loss.
On the surface, they were defeated by a new debut single, but everyone knew that everything was because of Yunfeng.
But...
They are not convinced and will not give up easily.
Losing in a confrontation does not mean anything, and what is being fought for is not just a false name, but market share.
The new song popularity list is over, and the new song sales list will take over.
The major companies made another move, and this time they changed their strategy from fully supporting one to diversifying their investments, and all the first- and second-tier singers under their companies released songs.
From May to June, the competition for the new song sales list was extremely fierce.
Penguin Entertainment's new king Yang An's new song is temporarily ranked first.
Panda Entertainment's iron lung queen He Qian's new song is temporarily ranked second.
Panda Entertainment's four little kings Zhou Ruilin's new song is temporarily ranked third.
Panda Entertainment's singer-songwriter Luo Mu's new song is temporarily ranked fourth.
The new song of Liu Runze, one of the four kings of Huahai Entertainment, is temporarily ranked fifth.
…
Six weeks have passed in the ten-week competition, and the new song sales chart has three echelons.
The first echelon is from the first to the fifth, and the sales difference between them is within 100,000.
The second echelon is from the sixth to the tenth, and the sales difference between them and the top five has reached one million.
The third echelon is all the rest, and the sales difference between them and the top ten has reached three million.
In terms of the number of people on the list, the number of weekly championships and the total sales, Penguin Entertainment and Panda Entertainment are far ahead.
However.
Overnight, the rankings changed dramatically, and the sixth to eleventh changed hands. The terrifying thing is that the release time of these six songs does not exceed twenty-four hours.
Sixth, "Friendship Forever", sales 4070337 (Youxianqi FM Network), from Yuntang Music Studio.
Seventh, "Dear Traveler", sales 4 network), from Yuntang Music Studio.
Eighth, "The Crossroads of Phoenix Flowers", sales 4051142 (Youxianqi FM Network), from Yuntang Music Studio.
Ninth, "Days on Maple Forest Road", sales volume 4040441 (Youxianqi FM), from Yuntang Music Studio.
Tenth, "Wish", sales volume 403 (Youxianqi FM), from Yuntang Music Studio.
Eleventh, "Don't Say Goodbye", sales volume 4012145 (Youxianqi FM), from Yuntang Music Studio.
...
Yes, it was the six songs that Yunfeng and others sang at the graduation party.
The important thing is that the sales volume has not reached saturation and is still increasing at a very fast rate.
With the changes in the new song sales chart, the Internet became completely lively, and the topics related to Yunfeng and the six songs became the first hot search in the micro circle without any suspense.
"As soon as Yunda makes a move, we know whether it is good or not. There is no doubt that he dominates the charts!"
"In one night, the sales of a single song exceeded four million, and the total sales reached 24 million, and he took the sixth to eleventh place on the new song sales chart. Doesn't that prove the point?"
"I have to say, it's really amazing. Every song can compete for the championship."
"After winning the reputation of the first person in the online literature and comics circles, is he going to become the first person in the music world now?"
"Although the six songs were all created for the graduation season, the lyrics, music, arrangement style, and emotions expressed in each song are very different. This songwriting ability is unmatched."
...
It is indeed so strong that there is nothing to say. Keyboard warriors, black fans, and rhythm dogs have no idea where to start.
All day long, the phone of Yuntang Music Studio was almost blown up. Many schools wanted to invite Yunfeng and others to perform at their graduation parties.
Did you go?
That's for sure. Why not go if there is an appearance fee? Who would complain about too much money?
However, they were divided into several groups. Yunfeng and Tang Yu went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, Xu Mengwei and Xiao Tianpeng went to Sun Yat-sen University, Xia Dachuan and Su Feiyan went to Rongcheng Academy of Fine Arts, and Li Junyi, Feng Zhe, and Ji Yubei went to Chang'an Academy of Fine Arts.
"The atmosphere on the scene is still good." Ma Siyu was still not satisfied. His eyes were red because he was moved, and his voice was hoarse because he sang the whole show.
"And it was more emotional than the songs I sang at the opening ceremony of the first World Challenge of "Divine Realm" last year." Wang Defa's situation was similar to Ma Siyu, with red eyes and hoarse voice.
In the long river of time, perhaps many people and things have disappeared in chaos, but in a song about youth and campus, I can't help but miss my student days.
Feelings are heartfelt, personalized, and the most touching.
Ma Siyu suddenly asked, "Crazy, now that you have graduated, when do you plan to debut?"
Wang Defa followed up with, "Yes, Crazy, debut quickly and then hold a concert."
Yunfeng's plan to debut was indeed to wait until he finished college, and he said, "Either don't do it, or do it to the best of your ability, and wait until I have the song ready."
Wang Defa and Ma Siyu did not ask about the specific time, because in their subconscious, Yunfeng wrote songs easily, and the speed was unimaginable, so they would not wait too long.
"The post-production of the movie "Secret" has been completed." Wang Defa changed the subject and said, "Let's set the release date."
Yunfeng, Tang Yu, and Ma Siyu all nodded.
Wang Defa continued: "I did a survey and found that among the top 100 love movies released in theaters in the past ten years, except for a few that were released during National Day, Lunar New Year, and Spring Festival, they were all released during the Chinese Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year. Released on Valentine’s Day, I suggest going with the flow.”
Yunfeng said: "Then, let's choose the Chinese Valentine's Day. From now on we will have a road show, and we can take advantage of the popularity of the new song sales chart."
Ma Siyu said: "I have no objection."
Tang Yu said: "I have no objection either."
Wang Defa said: "Then it's settled, but you have to follow the roadshow lunatic."
Yunfeng said without hesitation: "No problem."
Movie roadshows have always been a very mainstream method of film promotion. It is not only an important means for film producers to improve theater schedules, but also an important part of local media exposure. The most important thing is that it is conducive to word-of-mouth spreading among fans and spreading the reputation of the film.
In the early years, the format of road shows was relatively simple. Before and after the movie was released, celebrities came to the theater and had about 10 to 20 minutes of question and answer interaction with the audience. After more than ten years of development and growth of the film market, the format of road shows began to become more colorful. Interactive Q&A has turned into playing games with fans, taking selfies, sending gifts, etc. It can even be carried out through variety shows, concerts, etc.
"Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Wuhan become Hangzhou" is an old jingle in the industry. The eight cities of Yanjing, Magic City, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Shancheng, Jiangcheng, Rongcheng and Hangcheng are the ideal choice for movies because of their concentrated culture and prosperous economy. The "ticket warehouse" has also become an important town for publicity. Most movie roadshows will take these eight cities as the center and radiate to the surrounding areas. The roadshow cycle is about a month before the release, so the schedule is very tight. of.
During the road show before the release, the audience had not watched the film yet, and the creators were not allowed to reveal any spoilers. They kept each other secret, and the communication was very Tai Chi and Wudang. However, with Yunfeng around, many times the questions asked would go astray.
but.
Anyway, it’s all about paving the way for the movie’s box office, as long as it’s popular and topical.
From a production point of view, the film "The Secret That Can't Be Told" didn't cost much. Except for the male lead, who was a minor second-tier actor, the rest of the actors were all newcomers, and the pay has been reduced to a very low level.
As for the script and soundtrack, Yunfeng wanted box office dividends, which were not included in the cost.
In terms of publicity, the publicity was also centered around Yunfeng.
Title 1 - The romance, science fiction, and suspense movie "The Untold Secret" created by Yunfeng, a supernova in the online literature, comics, and music circles, is coming for the first time as a screenwriter. Are you ready?
Title 2 - Yunfeng meets you on the Chinese Valentine's Day to see the beauty and romance of love! "
Title 3 - Do you still remember the story of Li Siying and A Tuo in "Waiting for Coffee" and the story of Nan Xiaoyue and Jiao Dayu in "My Deskmate"? This time, let us watch the story of Lu Xiaoyu and Zifeng together in "The Secret That Cannot Be Told"! "
Seeing this information, fans, passers-by, and industry insiders started heated discussions.
fan:
"It turned out that I was working as a screenwriter, and I thought I was going to be an actor."
"I definitely support it, but writing a novel is different from writing a script."
"Don't worry, have you forgotten what Yunda's first ID is called?"
"That is, how can you still be called the 'Crossover King' without crossing over?"
"Don't worry, Yunda is the most trustworthy person!"
…
Passersby:
"Is it Yunfeng who wrote "Zhu Xian"?"
"Yunfeng doesn't draw comics?"
"Singing."
"It seems like..."
"Who are you talking about?"
…
an expert:
"Are you kidding me?"
"If you take too big a step, it's easy to pull your balls."
"Do you really think you are proficient in everything? Not everyone can make movies well."
"Are you overreacting? Don't trust Yunfeng or Huang Hai?"
"Be careful of getting slapped in the face."
…
As the saying goes, "professionals do professional things." Even though Yunfeng can write novels, draw comics, write songs, and sing, there are still many people who are skeptical about Yunfeng making movies.
However, the more topics it stirs up, the more people pay attention.
————
Time is like a flying bird, ticking forward. In a blink of an eye, July is fleeting, and August is coming quietly.
"Sister Qian, the company has compromised and the interview for "A Date with Luyu" has been declined."
"Really?"
"Well, the company just sent me a message."
"That's good."
…
A faint smile appeared on He Qian's face.
Jin Xiaojuan asked, "Sister Qian, is it worth the trouble with the company over a premiere?"
He Qian glanced at her and said, "Have you forgotten whose song helped me win the championship of "I Am a Singer", attend the Spring Festival Gala, and win the Golden Melody Award? People, you must know how to be grateful."
Of course Jin Xiaojuan knew that He Qian's current achievements were due to Yunfeng's songs. However, the company and Yunfeng were in a competitive relationship, so she couldn't help but worry, and said: "But if the company knows that you are here to help him, I'm afraid Yes..."
When He Qian heard this, she didn't take it seriously and said, "It's okay."
Jin Xiaojuan thought for a while, although He Qian's status was not as high as before after Zhanlan Entertainment was acquired by Panda Entertainment, but with Penguin Entertainment, a competitor of comparable strength, she should not fall out with He Qian over such a trivial matter.
He Qian asked: "Are my clothes ready for tomorrow?"
Jin Xiaojuan shook off the random thoughts in her head and said, "It's ready. I'll get it later."
————
On the day of the premiere.
The media reporters arrived at the Magic City Cinema early, set up their cameras and waited.
After a while, a small car stopped at the gate.
The first to arrive were Yunfeng, Tang Yu, and the main crew members.
Everyone was dressed up to attend the red carpet, which was very eye-catching and caused fans to scream.
"Ka Ka Ka..."
The flash lights flashed!
On the red carpet, Yunfeng and Tang Yu interacted frequently, and dog food was sprinkled all the way.
In the interview session, the main creative team said that the film "Secret" conveyed a lot of emotions. It was not only sweet and touching, but also a movie full of "music". They hoped that the audience could taste it carefully and feel the story connotation from different angles.
"He Qian!"
"Leng Yiming!"
"Zhang Yuchen!"
"Jiang Bo!"
"Sun Mei!"
...
Amid a scream, the supporting stars arrived.
Yunfeng and Huang Hai went to greet them.
The red carpet was open on both sides, one side was the media area, and the other side was the fan area. After a short stay in these two areas, everyone came to the autograph wall to sign and accept interviews from the host.
"He Qian has sung many of Yunfeng's songs. Can we see you work together again in the future?"
...
"The web drama and movie adapted from Yunfeng's novel "Dart Man" starring Zhang Yuchen broke the ratings and box office of martial arts TV dramas. What are your expectations for Yunfeng's first movie "Secret" as a screenwriter?"
...
"Sun Mei has also filmed many martial arts movies and love movies. If you have the opportunity to film a movie adapted from Yunfeng's novels or comics, which role would you most like to play?"
...
The host is the host of CCTV's movie channel, and is familiar with interviews at movie premieres.
The questions she asked were all about Yunfeng and the movie "Secret" in order to maximize attention and topicality.
After the interview, everyone came to the largest theater in Magic City Cinema, which was already full of audiences and very lively.
The host walked onto the stage, holding the microphone and said, "Before the movie starts, please enjoy the theme song of the same name "Secret" performed by Yunfeng!"
