From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

The ballad "Born Like a Summer Flower" did not arouse crazy popularity as soon as it was released like the previous "Lonely Warrior".

After all, this song is not the type of song that can quickly arouse the audience's emotions like "The Lonely Warrior" in terms of words and melody.

Moreover, the popularity of "The Lonely Warrior" is somewhat coupled with the popularity of the series of farces between Wang Yizhan and Ding Zhi, which are linked together.

This time, "Life is Like a Summer Flower" was released. Although the momentum is still quite high, in comparison, the pace of fermentation is still relatively gentle.

However, this song actually doesn't have many variations, and it doesn't even require much skill. It seems that anyone can hum a few lines.

Coupled with this slow, leisurely tone, as if telling a story, it is more able to touch the hearts of many people.

For a song to become popular, it needs to be complex to be complex and simple to be simple.

Don't care, it just sounds good, the lyrics are interesting, and the melody is simple and easy to sing.

"Born Like a Summer Flower" was all hits.

So at first, this song was only popular among Ding Zhi fans, and then slowly spread to some groups of literary and artistic youths, quickly fermented, and finally spread to more social platforms.

After all, Ding Zhi's popularity means that this song, written and composed by him, is destined to be popular even if it is a folk song.

Even if some people are not interested in Ding Zhi or the recently popular "Medicine God", they will accidentally click on it and give it a listen.

At first listen, hey, it seems pretty good. Let’s listen to it again.

As I listened, I felt something above me inexplicably.

Nowadays, if we want to talk about the way to make a song become popular as quickly as possible, there must be a place for short video platforms.

However, someone has also said, "If you want to ruin a song, make it a Douyin song."

Although this statement may be biased, it is enough to show that the tunes that fill the ears of young people today actually make them somewhat aesthetically tired.

Not to mention how many tailor-made works there are in many "divine comedies" whose "shelf life" can't even be said to be half a year.

Therefore, "Life is Like a Summer Flower" may not have become an instant hit, but it has quietly become popular with an almost permeable sense of beauty.

In the words of Shatuo netizens, it’s like “listening to fairy music and your ears are suddenly bright”.

Just like ballads such as "Chengdu", "Miss Dong" and "Nanshannan" in our reality, many people still can't understand why they suddenly became popular.

But this is actually the charm of folk songs.

The most important thing that distinguishes folk songs from other pop music is that excellent folk songs often have more simplicity, depth, and the power to penetrate the soul.

It may sound a bit mysterious, but it is actually real.

And "Life is Like a Summer Flower" is exactly the same.

Many people were moved by its pure and sincere lyrics, and some people were deeply moved by the memory of watching a screening of "The God of Medicine".

Some people can even think of the passion of meeting their first love when they were young, and the regret after losing it.

They grow like summer flowers, they shine brightly and then wither.

This really pokes the G-spot of the artistic youth.

Just like there will always be people who are young and there will always be people who are top-notch, there will always be people who are young and talented.

Of course, some people said that they couldn't get this song at all, and they thought it was just a melodious sound, and they were moaning for no reason.

But no matter what kind of evaluation it is, it can't stop the momentum of this song.

As a promotional song for "The God of Medicine", "Life is Like a Summer Flower" seems to have blossomed with a brilliance that far exceeds what a "promotional song" can achieve.

...

...

In the office, Liang Qiong was staring at Ding Zhi with a strange expression, as if she wanted to see something wrong on his face.

"Is there anything else you don't know that I don't know?"

This guy always seems to be able to come up with something different when others think he's "empty".

Ding Zhi just smiled.

"Many people on the Internet are now calling you to continue making music!"

Liang Qiong paused for a moment after saying this, as if she really thought about it again, "Not to mention, I'm really excited. If you can always produce a movie with the quality of "Life is Like a Summer Flower"

of......"

"Hey, goodbye!"

Ding Zhi interrupted Liang Qiong, "Sister Qiong, you also know how busy I will be next year. Zhang Wenqiang is waiting for me to join the team after the new year! Not to mention, there are so many people in our company who are waiting for food.

",Human energy is limited."

Liang Qiong was not surprised by Ding Zhi's rejection, but she was a little regretful.

It seems that it is regret for Ding Zhi during his "singing and dancing" period, or some kind of sentiment, Liang Qiong seems to have a little "feeling" for Ding Zhi's identity as a "singer".

Or maybe they still have expectations for his "three-dimensional performance in movies, TV shows, songs".

However, Ding Zhi is indeed different now.

Ding Zhi, who develops in three fields of directing, editing and acting at the same time, the amount of energy he needs to expend is already terrifying.

In addition to the already confirmed "Wushuang", in order to maintain the relationship with Goose Factory and Mango, there will definitely be follow-up works tomorrow.

Not to mention that the older members of the group also need Ding Zhi's care.

Although both "The Lonely Warrior" and "Life Like a Summer Flower" seem to fully demonstrate that Ding Zhi definitely has the potential to be popular in this regard.

And it's not the kind of "hot" that some top player who doesn't want to be named breaks the world record but no one has heard of it.

But a real explosion.

It's just that Ding Zhi really can't spare much time for other aspects, not to mention that the domestic music scene, which is now in the sunset, is not as good as the development of film and television dramas, both from an economic point of view and influence.

"Let's get down to business!"

Ding Zhi sat down on his seat and turned around habitually without turning.

He looked down and saw that it was not a swivel chair.

Then I remembered that when purchasing office supplies, Liang Qiong specifically asked Xiaopang that there should be no swivel chairs in her office...

Ding Zhi raised his head and glanced at Liang Qiong speechlessly.

Liang Qiong seemed unaware.

He lowered his head and worked on the iPad in his hand for a while, then handed it to Ding Zhi.

"This time, the series of promotions we jointly launched with Goose Factory were very successful, especially your song "Life is Like a Summer Flower", which directly drove the last screening data yesterday. Now the movie box office has exceeded

200 million, breaking the record.”

The box office at the screening exceeded 200 million, which is actually a very exaggerated figure.

You know, although the current box office market sets new highs every year.

The majestic "Armageddon" filmed by Guoshi two years ago had a box office of 4.36 billion.

This made people at the time feel that no one could challenge this height for at least five years.

As a result, in just two years, "Operation Red Sea" took in 3.9 billion at the box office, shortening the distance to within 460 million.

This makes people wonder if any movie will come out this year or next year and break this number one spot in film history.

But in fact, this is just the height of the "ceiling". Below the ceiling, there are many movies that even have a total box office of over 100 million, which is something worth celebrating.

Before "The God of Medicine" was released, it earned more than 200 million at the box office just through on-demand screenings, which was enough to make all the "enemies" in the same period very energetic.

However, in terms of publicity and marketing, "The God of Medicine" can be said to have achieved the ultimate, and it can even be said to have completed a wave of textbook operations. Coupled with Ding Zhihe's own bonus, and the film's high reputation after the movie

The "tap water" produced seems to be a matter of course.

For many movies that were either "moved" to the Lunar New Year schedule or "escaped" to other schedules, they have dodged a bullet to a certain extent.

Speaking of which, last year's Spring Festival should be regarded as a "small year".

Except for "The Killer Isn't Good", which barely managed to survive a few rounds, the other films were almost killed by the sudden dark horse "Operation Red Sea".

Compared with last year, this year's Spring Festival period can be described as a real battle between dragons and tigers.

The first, of course, is "Happy Edamame" which has gradually become one of the most famous comedy "labels" in the film industry.

To be honest, if "Operation Red Sea" hadn't suddenly emerged in the last Spring Festival release, I'm afraid the final winner would have been this company that has gradually made a name for itself in the past few years.

The movie they released today is called "Funny Family", and it's a rare sight for them to bring together all their leading artists to star together.

Especially the pillar of their family is Teng Shen, who is also in the tens of billions club like Ding Zhi!

Moreover, this story actually brings one of the most popular scripts from their theater to the big screen.

The story has been tested by the masses, so it is definitely strong, and with the backbone of the story behind it, it seems to be going strong.

Another one is that the Hong Kong star has once again released the movie "The King of Comedy 2" after years of hiding!

It is clearly a tribute to his own work "The King of Comedy" which won the box office championship in Hong Kong that year.

It is said that Ding Zhi's current box office appeal is so strong, but compared with this one, he is still a few steps behind - of course, the premise is that the star himself stars.

It's a pity that he still only plays the role of director in "The King of Comedy 2".

But even so, as the idol and "embodiment" of feelings of a generation, he is still the well-deserved king of comedy.

Relying on this, even though this man has shown signs of "selling his feelings" several times, he still has extremely terrifying appeal.

There is another person who was once a master of Lunar New Year films and has released a new work after a few years.

This director named Gong Dapao can be said to be the initiator of Lunar New Year stalls in the Mainland.

There was even a saying back then that "Gong's comedy can't go south, and Hong Kong-style comedy can't go north."

Although the main meaning is that the two forms of humor and comedy are likely to become acclimatized without their regional advantages.

But Night Dream reflects the awesomeness of "Gong's Comedy".

However, this director with a good temper has rarely appeared in works with comedy attributes. For example, this year's new work called "Only God Knows" is obviously more inclined to literary films.

In addition, there is also the Hong Kong film "Anti-Drug" which brings together Principal Gu, Zha Zhahui, and Liu Heiyun in Hong Kong, which is also a rare big show.

Although everyone is saying that Hong Kong Island is in a recession, it still has to rely on a few movie stars with an average age of about 50 to support it.

But if you bring them all together, it still has a lot of box office appeal.

There is also the "Wall of Masterpieces" that is never absent every year, the "Bear Infested" series.

In the face of these strong opponents, even though "The God of Medicine" took the lead, through marketing means, "Life is Like a Summer Flower" and large-scale screenings have created such a huge momentum.

But in fact, compared with other "first-tier" competitors who are also strong contenders for the box office championship, Ding Zhi cannot say that he is sure of victory.

Of course, among the first-tier films, only "The God of Medicine" has been screened in advance.

This is partly because Ding Zhi has strong confidence in the quality of the film.

On the other hand, I was a little forced and helpless.

After all, to a certain extent, screening in advance is still a gamble.

After all, if the screening results are unsatisfactory, it will directly affect the film schedule for the official release!

During this year's Spring Festival, in such a competitive situation, if you show even a hint of fatigue, you will probably lose a lot of "meat".

Fortunately, Ding Zhi obviously won the bet again.

""The King of Comedy 2" 21.8%, "Funny Family" 19.6%, "Anti-Drug Operation" 10.6%, our "Drug God" 17.7%, "Bear Infested" 11.2%, "If God Knows" 9.2%..."

Ding Zhi lowered his head and recited the data.

Obviously, "The God of Medicine" got the feedback it deserved after Ding Zhi won the bet.

The recent popularity has given theaters strong confidence.

The most intuitive thing is the data arrangement in terms of film arrangement rate.

The data currently available to Ding Zhi and Liang Qiong are basically the same as the accurate data when it was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"The God of Medicine" obviously has top-notch statistics in the first echelon.

It is in the same category as Xingye's "The King of Comedy 2" and "Funny Family", which are family-friendly genres that are naturally suitable for the Spring Festival.

And something unexpected is the movie "God Only Knows".

Ding Zhi and Gong Dapao were not familiar with each other.

To be precise, although he has many interactions with the Beijing Circle, he even has a deep connection with Guan Hu, the third generation leader of the Beijing Circle.

But I have never met Gong Dapao, a former boss in Beijing circles.

It is said that this great actor who created the Lunar New Year schedule in Mainland China has long since found another career in comedy films.

After that, I tried different types of films, including war films, family dramas, and odes to the times.

In recent years, I have started playing deep.

In fact, the movie "Only God Knows" was handed over to Ding Zhi through Liang Qiong.

However, at that time, Ding Zhi had a mountain of tasks on his hands, and the book was not in line with Ding Zhi's wishes, so he rejected it outright.

Later, another person was found for this drama.

That man and Ding Zhi also had a little acquaintance.

That is, Wang Qian, who competed with Ding Zhi not long ago for the title of Emperor Jin.

Now it seems that it was not just Ding Zhi who was not interested in the film at that time.

It seems that the theaters are not very optimistic about this new work by the great director.

Even among the films in the first tier, it ranks the lowest, with a film scheduling rate of less than 10%. Even the animated film "Bear Bears" cannot compare.

"Huh? Gong Cannon fired again..."

While Ding Zhi was staring at the data and analyzing the situation, Liang Qiong, who was sitting opposite and looking at the computer, suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Oh, that's normal. It's impossible to just allow us to market and not allow others to hype it."

Ding Zhi smiled and shook his head.

This is also Gong Dapao's old operation.

As his name suggests, this man's reputation in the industry is not that of a kind-hearted old man, but rather that of a director who is more outspoken.

Of course, it is said that when he was young, he was also first-class at holding his thighs.

Later, when he became a grown man, he had another awesome and coaxing face.

He has a bad temper, loves to quarrel, and is a topical figure. Over the past ten years, he has had countless verbal disputes.

But in fact, his completely personalized style has actually helped his movies attract a lot of attention.

But if you want to say that he is hyping up, he is actually like that.

Some people think he likes to be noisy, while others think he is straight-tempered. He can be regarded as a kind of character with mixed reviews.

So he did this trick again for his new movie. In fact, Ding Zhi was not surprised at all.

"But, this time it has something to do with you..."

Liang Qiong looked at Ding Zhi's indifferent expression and her tone was a little strange.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Ding Zhi didn't understand why at first, but then he realized it, raised his eyebrows, and widened his eyes a little.

It won't be...

Looking at Liang Qiong's constipated expression, it was obvious that Ding Zhi's guess was not wrong.

"This old bitch won't squirt at me!"
