Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 179 Open the champagne at halftime
In the eyes of insiders.

They can understand why the song "Lone Warrior" became so popular.

But the spread of the short film "I Speak for Myself" surprised them beyond words.

Whether online or in print media, this short film is being discussed everywhere.

The Internet's transmission speed has reached its maximum at this moment.

down one day.

The number of Xu Ming’s fans on Weibo jumped from 280 million to 420 million.

This kind of increase makes other artists drool.

At present, there is no specific data in the domestic entertainment industry to reflect the influence of an artist, and Weibo fans are a reference.

The number of 420 million is undoubtedly the largest among Weibo-certified artists.

The second is Yao Chen, with only 240 million, almost twice as much.

And anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the spread of "The Lone Ranger" and "I Speak for Myself", the upward momentum has not yet reached its end.

It’s only a matter of time before it reaches five million followers.

As for the competition between Chen and Xu for the Hundred Flowers Awards.

No one is paying attention to it anymore.

If this award is not given to the latter, there will be no need to hold the Hundred Flowers Award in the future.

The brands that had signed endorsement contracts with Xu Ming before this were almost laughing their mouths off.

Don’t underestimate the difference between the two.

The total savings are at least one million.

Not to mention that after the Hundred Flowers Awards, Xu Ming's net worth will probably skyrocket even more.

Qiming Entertainment.

When Xu Ming entered the company, fireworks exploded in front of him and streamers fell.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Celebrate to you in advance the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor."

"Pouring champagne at halftime is a big taboo." Xu Ming said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. Even if we give Chen Kun and the others another half a month, they won't have a chance to turn the situation around." Xiao Yuan said.

This flag is not established.

But Xu Ming looked around the office, seeing everyone's proud expressions and the celebratory atmosphere, and finally said, "Thank you all for your hard work during this period. There will be bonuses this month."

A thousand words are not as satisfying as spending money.

The atmosphere suddenly rose to a higher level.

"Long live the boss."

“Strive to win again next year!”

Everyone cheered. This time, the winner of the competition between Chen and Xu not only won the title of Best Actor, but also the pride of everyone in Qiming Entertainment.

So what if they are old veterans? As the new force in the circle, they can still overturn the world.

Xu Ming walked towards the meeting room while waving to everyone with a smile.

If the situation is like this now, Chen Kun can still turn defeat into victory.

Then he admitted it.

After entering the meeting room, several responsible persons followed.

For them, victory is not the end, or even the beginning of the end.

On the contrary, now is the time to expand our achievements.

"How are the netizens' secondary creations?" Xu Ming asked.

"Many netizens have already participated in it, and the media has called your short film Xu Mingti."

Zhuo Wei reported, "Our people are also selecting high-quality content and helping to promote it."

"Well, we can start not only from individuals, but also from identities, and bring in sub-groups such as international students and doctoral students, or regions, cities, and brands."

"For example, for art students, you only see my score line, but not my admission rate. For medical students, even if I get hacked all day long, I want to live beautifully..."

Xu Ming recalled the jokes that netizens had made about this genre in his previous life and gave the other party some inspiration.

Zhuo Wei's eyes lit up and he took out his notebook and started writing it down.

I didn't expect there could be so many angles to adapt it.

"Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to establish my character as a loser who has made a comeback, such as my rural family background and the press releases about how I started from the bottom at Benshan Media."

"If I don't make people feel that I'm down-to-earth now, it will be even more difficult in the future."

Xu Ming knows very well how valuable being down-to-earth is for an artist.

Whether it is a foodie, a veteran cadre, and so on.

Without exception, it is to bring artists closer to their fans.

The best person in this area is Wang Baoqiang, followed by Xiao Yueyue.

But the latter got a bit distorted later on.

"I understand." Zhuo Wei nodded.

It was only after he joined Qiming that he discovered that there were so many ways to manipulate public opinion.

And not just digging up dirty laundry.

"Does your Internet Publicity Department have any other needs?" Xu Ming asked.

"The office space is a bit small. We are currently trying hard to recruit more employees, otherwise we will not be able to keep up with the growth of the company's business." Zhuo Wei said hesitantly.

After all, this would increase costs for the company, and he wasn't sure what his boss' attitude would be.

"That's good. The more people we recruit, the more prosperous our business will be."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "You can choose an office space later. Just rent a place that you think is suitable."

There was no way. The building where he was located seemed to have become much more popular due to the booming development of Qiming Entertainment.

All the vacant office floors were rented out.

"it is good."

Zhuo Wei nodded and tactfully stepped out.

Compared with Xiaoyuan, Guo Fan and others, he is not a direct descendant.

"If the Internet Publicity Department operates independently, will it be a test for Director Zhuo?" Xiao Yuan asked.

To put it bluntly, she didn't trust the other party.

Who made Fengxing Studio notorious in the past?

"With disciples trained by Marco and Zhuo Wei, there won't be any chaos." Xu Ming said with a smile.

Even though Zhuo Wei is the director, the other two have been keeping an eye on the position right under his butt.

Ever since the moment the three of them approached Qiming with their own ulterior motives.

There will never be another day of trust again.

"By the way, tell Li Ronghao that my album can be released early using this momentum."

"Try to make the most of this opportunity to open up channels." Xu Ming said.

Although the album market is not doing well, it does not mean that these channels have completely lost their effectiveness.

In his opinion, peripheral products will also need offline channels in the future.

The extensive album sales channels can serve as a substitute.

The so-called millet stores that became popular in the second dimension in later generations are actually stores selling peripheral products of Japanese anime products.

The only thing to consider is how to make the awareness of genuine products deeply rooted in the hearts of consumers.

This can only be done slowly.

"Yes."

Xiaoyuan doesn't understand, but is willing to carry it out.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ming looked at Guo Fan standing beside him.

The latter has been in a state of wanting to say something but hesitating since he came in.

Obviously he had something to ask me.

"It's really hard to decide on the male lead for 'So Young'. I've tried Sun Yizhou, Wang Chuanjun and others, but they couldn't act out the feeling I wanted with Ni Ni," said Guo Fan.

In fact, he could have taken the photo even if he had to, but if conditions permitted, he still hoped to ask the boss to do it himself.

Even after filming, he as a director will still be considered a puppet.

It's always better to have someone to rely on than to rely on yourself.

Many people seem strong on the surface, but in their hearts they really want a rich woman to see through their stubbornness and make them take off their disguise.

Xu Ming tapped the table with his fingers, a little hesitant.

He hopes to give his subordinates more opportunities to stand out. He can sense Guo Fan's hopeful gaze and think of his goal of dominating the box office charts next year.

He nodded slowly: "You guys go ahead and shoot first, I'll join the crew after the Hundred Flowers Awards are presented."

……

The set of "The Founding of a Great Power".

Xu Ming returned to his hometown, but his scenes were not finished yet.

But there are a lot fewer people now.

The big names came to take a few makeup photos, show up for the promotion, and then left.

On the other hand, the younger generations would stay and hold on even if they don’t have many roles.

"I came in a hurry, so I didn't bring any gifts for everyone. I'll just give everyone an album. If you don't like it, you can give it to your relatives and friends when you go back."

Xu Ming smiled and directed the driver to put down a box of albums.

It was released yesterday and he supported it himself.

Although he doesn't care about album sales, the outside world does.

In particular, advertisers and endorsers will adjust prices based on the artist's various data.

He just followed Xiaoyuan and the others' advice and tried to collect as much data as possible.

If you want to collect album data these days, you have to spend real money to support it.

Unlike idol singers in later generations, who can attract fans by releasing a digital EP for just a few dollars.

There is also a brother of a certain Bingbing, who posted a paid photo on Weibo and received 5 million...

Xiaojuan was distributing the copies here, and he found Han Sanping and personally delivered one to the person.

"Uncle Han, this is my first album, and this is the first one printed. You can take it back and see if it can be used as a table leg or a bed leg." Xu Ming said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's not talk about whether I'm that kind of person or not. Is my family really that shabby?"

Han Sanping took the album and was very satisfied with the latter's attitude.

There is both courtesy and intimacy.

The most important thing is that no matter how popular the other party becomes, their attitude remains the same.

This is very rare.

"Hehe, just kidding. If you think it's okay when you go back, buy a few more to support me, your nephew." Xu Ming said.

"Okay, by the way, your recent short film was pretty good, why don't you think about directing one yourself?" Han Sanping asked.

Most people in the industry direct and act in their own films, and some write and direct their own films.

People like Xu Ming, who write and perform their own plays, are actually the outliers.

"Being a director is too tiring. If I were a director, I could produce one work a year at best." Xu Ming waved his hand.

From his point of view, being a director is the least cost-effective option.

The director has to keep an eye on multiple stages from preparation, shooting to editing, which is very time-consuming.

In the previous life, when "Nezha 2" was released, the director Jiaozi was so exhausted that his hair turned white.

You have to know that even after the success of "Nezha 1", he has achieved success and fame, but he still can't rest.

It can be seen that it’s not that domestic film and television works cannot be done well, but there is a group of people who always want to muddle through.

You keep fooling around, and you don’t know who you are fooling in the end.

"That's true."

Han Sanping nodded in agreement.

Ning Hao and Jiang Wen both suffered from difficult births.

Zhou Xingxing, the formerly prolific actor, has also become less productive since he started directing, writing, and acting in his own films.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Go and change your clothes. I will keep your album later. Please work hard so that I can leave more inheritance for the younger generations in a few years." Han Sanping said with a smile.

If the other party could reach the level of a superstar, the value of the album in his hand would be immeasurable.

"I'll fight for it."

Xu Ming responded and followed the assistant director to change his costumes.

When I arrived at the dressing room, I caught a glimpse of a boiled chicken.

The latter quickly changed into his costume, and when he saw it was Xu Ming, he immediately stood at attention and said, "Hello, Teacher Xu."

"Ah."

Xu Ming nodded casually, and seeing the face in front of him that was younger than his, he said, "Is he from Rong Xinda?"

Of course he knew who was in front of him, wasn't it Yang Yang, the school idol of the PLA Art Academy?

Compared with the first generation Sha Yi, the second generation Shen Teng.

The other party’s identity as the school hunk of the PLA Art Academy was obviously confirmed.

"Yes, my name is Yang Yang, and I play the role of Yang Kaizhi." Yang Yang introduced himself stiffly.

To be honest, he was a little scared of Xu Ming in front of him.

His boss had just stood on the side of Brother Chen Kun and had defeated him.

In fact, the two sides are still in opposing camps.

"There are quite a lot of people from your Rong Xinda in this crew."

Xu Ming chuckled. Li Xin, who played Yang Kaihui, is now also Rong Xinda's man.

Yang Yang looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"What year were you born?" Xu Ming asked.

"91." Yang Yang said.

He is two years younger than me, only nineteen.

It was rare for Xu Ming to meet a male actor younger than himself. Thinking that the company was currently lacking a male artist who could serve as the backbone, he began to have an idea.

He said slowly, "When did you join Rong Xinda? What TV series and movies have you appeared in?"

"In 07, I played Jia Baoyu in Li Shaohong's Dream of the Red Chamber. The other ones have not been broadcast yet."

Yang Yang didn't know what Xu Ming meant by the question, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he answered everything.

However, he also had a little trick and did not say that the Jia Baoyu he played was actually divided into three roles: adult, teenager and child.

The so-called other TV series and movies that have not been broadcast yet actually do not exist at all.

"Haha, I know. It's being broadcast recently."

Xu Ming glanced at the nervous Yang Yang and said, "It seems that the actor who plays Jia Baoyu in the film is not you."

Puff, the knife stabbed into Yang Yang's heart.

The latter's face turned pale.

No, with a role as big as yours, how come you still have time to pay attention to a TV series?
Little did he know that he had run into Xu Ming's professional target.

The Four Great Classical Novels are works that every film and television editing team cannot avoid.

"I played the adult Jia Baoyu, and what you saw might be the young Jia Baoyu, played by Yu Xiaotong from our company." Yang Yang explained.

"That tall guy is going to play Jia Baoyu? Tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Xu Ming paused halfway through his words. If he remembered correctly, the producer and producer of this version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was Han Sanping.

He naturally changed the subject and revealed his true intentions: "Rong Xinda obviously doesn't value you. With your potential, it would be a waste of talent for you to stay there. If you are interested, you can consider our Qiming Entertainment."

"This is my business card. By the way, Li Xin, who plays your sister, can come if you are interested. You don't need to worry about the contract."

Wasn’t Li Xiaowan feeling unhappy because she thought he had poached Yang Mi?

Then he might as well just take it for granted.

Anyway, it's impossible for the other party to cultivate these two talents.

It’s better to leave it to yourself, so that at least you can catch the best flowering period.

Yang Yang took the business card handed to him by Xu Ming in a daze. When he left the dressing room, he suddenly woke up as if from a dream and tightly grasped the business card in his hand.

The other party's words echoed in his mind again and again.

Wan Niang's kindness and his own future have now become a fork in the road, and it is up to him to make a choice.

"Yang Yang, what are you thinking about?"

Li Xin came over and asked curiously, in a crew full of big names, she could just huddle together with them for warmth.

Yang Yang hesitated, shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just ran into Teacher Xu Ming in the dressing room, it was a bit awkward."

"Well, the conflict between the company and Teacher Xu has nothing to do with us. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Li Xin asked.

"No, he's a nice guy."

Yang Yang calmly put the business card in his hand into his trouser pocket.

This is a very serious matter. Think about it carefully before telling the other party.
