Perfect Life

The Kodak Theater was full of friends.

Speaking of the name of this theater, I have to mention the company Kodak, no matter in the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, or in this time and space, before the development of digital equipment, it was in the production of video equipment, All are top notch.

For this reason, the most famous theater in Hollywood in the United States is also the host of the Oscars in recent years. It is called the Kodak Theater, and in Shuntianfu, thousands of miles away, there is also a large theater where Kodak has won the naming rights. The venue for the award ceremony of China's Great Wall of Film and Television Awards.

This theater is very large and the decoration is quite high-end and luxurious. Usually, it mainly undertakes some large-scale commercial performances, including Beijing opera, drama, musical and ballet performances, as well as some relatively small singers' concerts.

After Li Qian, Cheng Suping and others went in, they found that Cao Zhan and the others were waiting inside. After everyone gathered, they went in under the guidance of the staff and found the "Legend of the New White Lady" and "The Love of Green Onion". Seat - the organizer is still very considerate. Everyone knows that although these two films belong to TV series and movies, the directors on both sides have an excellent relationship. Even the crew members and actors have a lot of crossovers, plus In "Love of Green Onion", only the heroine Cheng Suping was nominated for a performance category, so the director Yu Bojun and others did not plan to come at all, so they simply arranged the two crews together.

The middle position, slightly behind.

Li Qian's left is Cao Zhan, and his right is Bai Yujing.

In recent years, it can be said that since Li Qian came to this time and space, he has always been very attentive to domestic and foreign movies and TV dramas. Until now, no matter how busy he is, he will set aside special time every year to watch less. There are a hundred, and as many as two or three hundred various film and television works, of course, mainly movies.

Moreover, although he mainly watched domestic and European and American blockbusters, he would also watch some unpopular countries or themes. In addition, he would usually accompany Wang Jinglu or Liao Liao to the cinema to watch some new movies that were popular nowadays. Now that he has come to this time and space for more than five years but less than six years, he has watched at least a thousand or so films. He does not dare to say that he has a clear understanding of the development of movies and TV series at home and abroad in this time and space, but he is also very familiar with it. There is already a basic foundation.

Of course, he is familiar with works. For people, including domestic, European and American, who are very well-known, or works or actors that Li Qian admires very much after seeing it, he will ask people to collect information for himself to understand them carefully. For a moment, but most of the works he has seen, about their directors, screenwriters, and actors, he may be able to tell who they are with a single mouth, but most of them are definitely not acquainted with real people.

But it doesn't matter, Cao Zhan is an old monster in the literary and art circles. He has been in this industry for 20 years. Whether it is writing songs or being a screenwriter, he is all literary and artistic. It can be said that it is not true. He has been very popular, but he definitely has the qualifications in this circle, especially this time, not long after Li Qian arrived in Shuntianfu, he also came over to relax and lived for a few years. When it became popular, many old relationships and even friends who had gradually become estranged, also picked up again.

Moreover, Bai Yujing was a well-known big star in the circle back then, although her so-called big star is really the positioning of that kind of extremely beautiful vase, and it is also a vase for TV dramas. In the film circle, there is basically no sense of existence. But after all, after being in the circle for so many years, her face is also very familiar.

So, with the two of them sitting on the left and right, whispering and pointing, Li Qian quickly matched a lot of names.

Of course, although Li Qian has never been involved in the film and television industry in the past few years, there is an inextricable connection between film and television and music. Now the Minghu Culture and Music Department has a dozen or even more than 20 appointments every year. The soundtrack of a film and television work, so Li Qian had already met a lot of people, but this time, it can only be regarded as adding a large piece of his name memory bank.

What's more, with a miracle TV series like "The Legend of the New White Snake" in hand, even if Li Qian doesn't know others, there are people who want to come and get to know him.

Li Qian and the others entered the venue late, but after sitting down, they played this game of matching seats with Cao Zhan and Bai Yujing for a short time, and some people started to take the initiative to say hello.

Everyone shook hands and exchanged simple greetings, saying that there would be time to sit down together, and then they said goodbye politely-the red carpet outside was over, which meant that the awards ceremony would begin soon.

Besides, it's full of people, and it's obviously not a good place to chat.

"The Legend of the New White Snake" is very popular, quite popular, even as a TV series, it has made money that most movies can't make, so don't look at Li Qian's youth, but even the great director Liu Chengzhang At that level, talking to him is also polite. Hello and me.

Moreover, even if the "Legend of the New White Lady" is not mentioned, just relying on Li Qian's current status as the godfather of the domestic music scene, even if he is at the level of Qin Wei, he has no qualifications to overwhelm Li Qian.

Qin Wei has several movies that have box office over 100 million yuan, and has an excellent reputation. He is the No. 1 figure in the domestic director circle that everyone has to convince, but Minghu Culture can release two or three films every year with sales of tens of millions. record! You know, a movie ticket costs more than ten yuan, and a CD of an album is also more than ten yuan. Qin Wei's movie box office can easily exceed 100 million yuan, but not to mention Liao Liaohe, who has been promoted to the international queen, and sold 20 million copies. "Once You", even He Runqing, the total sales of a single album can be over 100 million!

Even, considering the accounting system of the movie box office, everyone also earns 100 million yuan, but after the film box office has been stripped of several layers, when it falls into the hands of the producers, there are often only 30 to 40 million yuan left. , and Minghu Culture is self-produced and self-sold. After deducting the cost of the channel, it falls into the pocket, but it is more than the film producer!

Moreover, the so-called producer of a movie includes a lot of production companies, directors, actors, behind-the-scenes staff, etc., because the movie itself is a commodity that requires the precise cooperation of many people to produce, but the record is compared to the movie. Participants are much simpler.

In short, He Runqing's album sales are 100 million yuan, and He Runqing can earn about 15 million yuan in net income. According to the brokerage contract, the commission for this kind of album sales only needs to be divided into 10% for the brokerage department of Minghu Culture, so Her actual income is around 13.5 million. On the other hand, Minghu Culture can earn about 35 million yuan through this album. After all costs are removed, the net profit is also a full 30 million yuan.

But Qin Wei made a movie and sold it for 100 million yuan. What he got, including the director's remuneration and dividends, was about the same level as He Runqing.

In terms of quality and popularity, the film is the highest, because it is a comprehensive art of sound and light. But if we really talk about influence, an album that is popular all over the streets and alleys is not much worse than a movie that sells 100 million yuan. As for making money, Minghu Culture, even if it only makes music, has thrown away those domestic film companies. A big chunk!

So, regardless of whether you make music or make movies, when you get to the level of Li Qian and Qin Wei, they are already the top level in their respective industries, and everyone is basically indistinguishable.

This is like Spielberg as a director, no one will think that Michael Jackson will be any worse than him.

Of course, in the entertainment industry, there has always been a habit of judging seniority. People are older, have senior qualifications, and have high achievements. There is no way to do this.

And most importantly, the information content that a record can carry and the information content that a movie can carry are not the same level at all.

In the future, the potential markets faced by the two will also have a big gap.

Looking at the world, even if it is as good as Michael Jackson, it is impossible to completely conquer the Chinese market with English songs, but the English movies of Spielberg and James Cameron can.

…………

People kept coming to Li Qian to greet and get acquainted, and Li Qian had to stand up again and again to shake hands with people.

Most of these people are people from brokerage companies and film and television companies, and a small number are some actors and directors who have known before. For example, when Li Qian was filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Jiang Jianming, the director in charge of the Soochow group, came here on purpose. , chatted a few words with Li Qian, and made an appointment to find time to eat together.

Soon, Qi Jie came over.

Then, it suddenly became more lively here.

Li Qian is very high-profile, and Li Qian is very low-key.

Do things with a high profile, be a low profile person.

In contrast, within the entertainment industry, Qi Jie's connections are far more extensive than Li Qian.

And if you don't look at his face, Li Qian sits there, he is an ordinary handsome guy, no one even thinks that he is the big boss of the largest record company in China, but after years of experience , Now Qi Jie is already full of aura, no matter where she goes, her beautiful president is the most powerful existence.

In the past, she was a domineering president known to everyone in the recording industry and the music world. Everyone knew that she had amazing beauty, extraordinary ability, and great courage. Now, her reputation has grown with the "New" The negotiation over the broadcasting rights of "Legend of the White Snake" has gradually spread in the film and television industry, and it has become more and more popular.

As soon as she came, there were many people who were really unfamiliar with Li Qian and consciously couldn't get along, but they all got up and walked over, because they all knew Qi Jie and had dealt with him more or less.

After saying a few words, he naturally knew Li Qian.

When Li Qian was interviewed after walking the red carpet just now, he joked that he was here to give out business cards, but now, before the awards ceremony starts, he has already received a stack of business cards.

"Legend of the New White Snake" is so popular, not only has it produced a popular White Snake, but also supporting roles such as Xu Xian, Fahai, Xiaoqing, and even Qi Baoshan have followed suit. It is natural to see Li Qian's ability to support actors. , coupled with the foundation of his reputation as a gold medal producer who had previously held singers in the record circle, it is naturally the object of countless brokerage companies and film and television companies that have signed artists and actors.

Fortunately, it was at the Kodak Theater after all, and everyone came to get acquainted with interest, handed a business card, said a few words, and soon left.

Moreover, seeing that the emcee over there was already on the stage, everyone knew that the award ceremony was about to start, so even if they wanted to come, they had to stop for the time being.

Cao Zhan was originally sitting next to Li Qian, but when he saw Qi Jie coming, he wisely gave his seat to Qi Jie and went to sit next to him.

After dealing with the last group of people, Qi Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief when the awards were about to begin. She turned her head and smiled at Li Qian, frowning while smiling, "I'm exhausted!"

Li Qian smiled, and Xiaosheng asked her, "Didn't you say you can't come back? Why are you in a hurry to come back?"

In fact, there is no need to look for reasons. The contact with HUNAN Satellite TV has been fully launched. As long as the general direction is correct, Qi Jie, the general manager, did not need to stay there. After all, the show is only in the preparatory stage, not yet. When it came time to really exert strength, but I don't know why, when Li Qian asked this question, Qi Jie's smile stagnated a little, and subconsciously found a reason: "I want to watch you take the stage and win the award!"

Li Qian smiled and nodded, "Okay!" After a pause, he said, "Don't be disappointed if you can't get it, I'm not sure about it myself!"

When Qi Jie heard the words, she began to comfort him, "It doesn't matter. Whether you win the award or not, it won't affect the strength of this film. Besides, I think there is a lot of hope. With this rating, if you don't give the award, it's unreasonable."

Li Qian smiled and said nothing.

But soon, he seemed to notice something and turned his head to look forward to the left.

But at the moment when he turned his head, that gaze evaded slightly, and soon turned back.

is a woman.

And don't know.

Qi Jie immediately noticed Li Qian's movements and asked, "What's wrong?"

Because that is the front row~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Qian pointed to the other side with confidence and asked, "Who is that person?"

Qi Jie watched for a long time and found the person Li Qian was referring to, but hesitantly said: "Just looking at the back, I don't know who it is! I don't know much about these actors and directors."

Li Qian nodded, and was about to turn his head to ask Bai Yujing again. At this time, the person sitting next to the woman turned around, and their eyes met.

There, he nodded to Li Qian with a smile on his face.

Li Qian then nodded at him and smiled.

Then, the other party quickly retracted his gaze, turned around, and whispered to the woman beside him.

Li Qian put away his smile and slowly leaned on the back of the sofa.

Bai Yujing saw all this from beginning to end, turned his head to look at Li Qian, faintly felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Hey, what's the matter with you?"

Li Qian pouted to speak, but at this moment, the awards ceremony officially started. (To be continued.)
