While Jiang Kan was devoting himself to notating and writing two new songs, a conversation was taking place in the tavern of Jiuyanqiao in Chengdu.
"Boss Liu, your business here seems to be not as good as it was some time ago?"
At Liu Zhiheng's special wine table in the back of the bar, the unshaven boss Zhou Dongzhou put down the wine glass in his hand and stared blankly at the resident who was playing guitar and singing on the stage next to him. singer.
There were far fewer customers around than last month. They were scattered around the bar, and it was obvious that they were not very interested.
"Yes, Jiang Kan went to Yangcheng and hasn't shown his face here for more than a month. The guests are disappointed..."
It took a long time for Liu Zhiheng to regain his composure, pick up the cup at hand and take a sip of beer.
"Before, he would come here basically once a week or two. Not to mention when he was singing, just coming here to sit and sit would attract a large number of customers..."
Boss Liu's eyes were still a little dull and lacked interest.
In fact, he also knew that there were so many bars on Jiuyan Bridge, and the competition among everyone was fierce. It should be normal for the stores to be full. No bar's business was so full and lively every day.
That is to say, Jiang Kan often came to the store to support them, which brought them the customer flow and fame that a new store that had just opened not long ago should have.
But he just felt a little disappointed. This was not a big difference from when Jiang Kan was still in Rongcheng.
Of course, he didn't mean that there were fewer customers, but that the bar was making less money for him, so he was unhappy.
A company as big as his own would not take advantage of this little pocket money.
Just like other players who like to play business simulation games, some people like to play simulated farm, some like to play simulated football manager, and some people like to play simulated zoo...
But those are just choices for civilian players who don't have the money to open a farm, buy a football club, or acquire a zoo...
He has money, so he really bought a bar for real business rather than a simulation game. Therefore, the number of customers every day and the popularity of the restaurant are what he cares about most and can bring him the most sense of accomplishment. things.
"Who says it's not the case? This guy Jiang Kan is really a born star. He brings traffic and popularity wherever he goes, attracting attention..."
Lao Zhou was also quite emotional. His own band recently went to the next city to perform. When singing his own songs, it was fine, but every time he sang the most popular "Cold Rain Night" and "Like You" , the audience in the audience would shout Jiang Kan's name, asking Jiang Kan to sing these two songs, which made them very embarrassed.
But he can't really go to Yangcheng and bring Jiang Kan back to accompany them on tours in various places, right?
"When he goes to Yangcheng, he will have to stay for a year, right?"
Lao Zhou asked absently, holding the cup.
"Yes, one year, it has only been a month, and I already miss him so much..."
While Liu Zhiheng was sipping the wine, he rolled his eyes aimlessly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"I miss him a little too. This guy usually doesn't feel it when he's around us, but once he's gone, I really miss him!"
The two old men just murmured while sipping their wine and talking about some topics about Jiang Kan and his music.
"Did you know that Jiang Kan has recently become famous in another movie?"
While Lao Zhou was drinking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Liu Zhiheng in a show off manner.
"Of course I know, "The Story of Laughter"... the investors really made a lot of money. A small-budget movie with an investment of only 10 million actually made 8 million in the first week. For For a martial arts film that has become so lonely now, it is simply a hit that can be seen with the naked eye! With the subsequent word-of-mouth spread among Jiang Kan fans, the gradual return of old martial arts fans, and subsequent viewings... just wait. I’ll collect the money later!”
"Even if the return on investment is 30 million, their movie should be worth 50 to 60 million at least. It's not a lot of money, but it's definitely a profit."
Liu Zhiheng has always paid attention to Jiang Kan, so he naturally knew what Boss Zhou was talking about, so he also expressed his optimistic view on this.
"There is also a computer game called "Legend of Sword and Chivalry". Have you heard of it? It is also a promotional song composed by Jiang Kan! It's so touching. Even though I don't play games very much, I spent money to buy it. I gave him a few to cheer him up. If I can’t finish playing with them myself, I can give them to my nephews and nephews at home!”
"This is a role model, Boss Liu! Then Dahe Pictures and Fengming Entertainment can do this, and we can actually learn from it!"
Lao Zhouyi slapped the table with a bright light in his eyes!
"You mean... we also invest in making a movie or a game, and then invite Kan to sing the theme song?"
After saying this, Liu Zhiheng's eyes became clear and he suddenly became energetic!
"That's right! People can invite Brother Jiang to write songs for their movies, and we can also copy the gourd! Boss Liu, you don't really make money from this bar. A big boss with a net worth of billions invested in one. There shouldn’t be any problem with a movie worth tens of millions, right? And if the singer is Jiang Kan, maybe it won’t be an ordinary hit!”
Boss Zhou became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that what he said made sense. His usually slightly carefree image immediately became serious, and he regained his original aura as the boss of a large local company.
He believed in his ability to see people, and Jiang Kan's ability was obvious to all. There was such a gold mine around him, and he would be sorry if he didn't dig into it!
"There is a way! I think there is a way to do this!"
Liu Zhiheng also slapped his forehead. He was just guarding the gold mine and didn't know how to dig it. He had such a good relationship with Jiang Kan. Could it be that he would refuse to write a theme song for the movie he was filming?
When the time comes, give Jiang Kan some shares, and he will earn a lot of face. It can also be regarded as helping his good friend to open up new ways to make money.
"How about this, Boss Liu, this suggestion was made by me. We have known each other for so long and we are not so different. How about each of us contributes half and make a movie? Don't tell me, I really do. I have wanted to make a movie for a long time, but it has never been successful due to too many trivial matters. Now that I have this opportunity, let’s work together?”
"Okay! Lao Zhou, your suggestion is interesting. I have always wanted to get involved in movie tickets, but I have never had the opportunity or connections..."
"Since you mentioned it this time, Lao Zhou, I have nothing to say. Let's just make this decision first? Anyway, you and I both leave the company to others to take care of and have plenty of time. This time, we brothers Let’s work together to make it big and play a movie to test the water, hahahaha!”
The two shook hands happily, and the matter was settled.
As for the specific type of shooting and what subject matter, the two idle people had plenty of time to discuss, so the next time seemed to become more happy. Although the people were still the same and the store was still the same, at this time there was something different in the bar. The air was filled with joy again.
"Everyone, tonight is the official launch of our "Return to the Great Qin". The long-term efforts have finally come to fruition!"
In the office hall of Lei Ming Film and Television, Mr. Wang stood in the middle and encouraged all the colleagues sitting around.
"Everyone knows how much money, time and energy we have invested in the production and distribution of this TV series. Tonight, it is time to test our achievements in the past six months! All departments should keep an eye on the areas they are responsible for. Market data must also be collected and fed back in a timely manner. We will adjust the publicity strategy and place advertisements in other media based on the specific results. Everyone, cheer up, do you understand!"
"Understood!"
The TV series is broadcast on Yangcheng Satellite TV 1, and the time is the most precious prime time - 8 p.m.
At 7:50, all company employees, including Mr. Wang himself, stayed in the company and started fighting for ten seconds.
The spirit of Erfen is preparing for the launch of the series.
Jiang Kan himself also prepared beer, melon seeds and fruits at home, and sat on the sofa in the living room, preparing to watch the launch of this time-travel historical drama in which he sang the opening theme song.
"Hey, it's been a long time since I felt like I was waiting to watch a TV show. When I was busy with work, I only occasionally watched it with Xiaojuan. But I didn't expect that now that I'm forty, I feel more relaxed and have time to watch TV shows at night... "
He put a washed grape into his mouth, chewed it for a while, and spit out a few grape seeds.
At eight o'clock, the screen of "Return to the Qin Dynasty" appeared on time on the screen of Yangcheng Satellite TV 1.
A second ago, a heartwarming milk powder advertisement was still playing on the TV.
The next second, the grand scene in the play where thousands of troops and horses galloped endlessly, and the soldiers of the two armies fought bravely to kill the enemy appeared directly!
Chariots rattled, horses roared, war drums thundered, swords clashed...
The scene of a battlefield filled with fierce warriors and fierce tigers, accompanied by the equally thrilling prelude of the song, made Jiang Kan instantly feel that he had returned to ancient times and was on an extremely vast and desolate battlefield!
Immediately, a strong male voice with a slightly lowered voice began to sing the lyrics:
"Who begs whom?
In Spring and Autumn, they only listen to the orders of heaven and earth
destiny,
Who can turn their fortunes around? "
This is his own voice.
But it sounds so unreal.
When I sang, I just made up the magnificent scene in my mind and matched it with the music.
Naturally, it lacks some sense of integration with the picture and a seamless sense of substitution.
But now that these intense scenes appear in front of you, and when your own singing is mixed in, people can really feel the charm of this song.
He just felt like a fire was burning in his chest, making him wish he could return to that magnificent historical scene like the protagonist in the film, so that he could become history and a legend!
"No one has anyone,
Chaos can also be settled,
Who is tampering with the plot? "
Jiang Kan clenched his hands and placed them between his knees.
He rested his thighs with his elbows and leaned forward, nervously staring at the picture and listening to his own singing.
The exciting music sounded in his ears. With such exciting melody and domineering lyrics, any man would be unable to help but feel his blood surge and tremble all over.
The same goes for Jiang Kan.
At this moment, when he looked at the young Ying Zheng striding up the high platform in the picture, with the domineering look in his eyes, he couldn't help but get goosebumps on his body.
Especially since the song has reached its climax, when he sang it, he imagined what his reaction would be when he heard the song for the first time on TV.
He also knew that he would be excited.
But I never thought that I would be so surprised and excited.
"Don't be happy,
Don't think it's called the ancestor.
Long Live Chitose will be created according to your wishes!
next life,
Never mind who is called Gaozu,
Don't bet,
Destiny is the highest! "
Waves of numbness arose from his brain, his hands, and his shoulders, making him unable to help but stand up from the sofa.
He clenched his fists with both hands and watched the scenes on TV of the protagonist meeting and interacting with the young Ying Zheng, as well as the treacherous scenes of the court and intrigues, while the melody of the song kept echoing in his ears.
I just feel that it is not the protagonist but me who has traveled back to the Warring States period. I wish I could step into the historical sky and experience this twists and turns but magnificent life.
"The ratings for the first broadcast have started to be counted!"
In the marketing department of Lei Ming Film and Television, Lao Lu is guarding here, watching the TV show with the staff.
The data fed back by the TV station on the brain screen!
"Launch data: 0.7%!"
The data clerk saw the data accurately again and again and loudly announced it!
"Data for the first 10 seconds of broadcasting: 0.85%!"
"Opening song completed data: 1.35%!"
"Starting data of the main film: 1.4%!"
"Data for the first 30 seconds of the main film: 1.45%!"
"Data for the first 5 minutes of the main film: 1.67%!"
A string of data was reported from the mouth of the data clerk. The other employees also heard this number and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts!
"Okay, okay, it's up to 1.5%! As long as we keep it steady, we should be able to get up to 2% after tonight's two episodes are played!"
Lao Lu pressed his hand heavily on his left chest. His already old and lazy heart was beating so powerfully tonight!
It even made him feel slightly suffocated!
This drama has drained 80% of the company's current liquidity. The boss ignored other people's advice and insisted on putting all the publicity resources and connections that will be used throughout the year on it. There is quite a feeling of burning down the boat.
Although he didn't know about the fierce competition between the three Wang brothers, he vaguely felt Mr. Wang's decisive "do it or die" attitude toward the show.
So he went all out, risking his life to accompany his boss to go crazy like a gentleman, and mobilized the entire company's manpower and material resources to create this time-travel masterpiece.
It’s not like no one has advised him not to go crazy with his boss like this.
But he didn't say much. Years of cooperation had already made him feel that the boss's unusual decision must have some profound meaning.
Not only did the show find a capable director who is best at shooting time-travel dramas, but through various connections, it also found some capable Xiangjiang actors who, although not the most top-notch, are very capable in acting, and even made a fool of themselves by asking for help. We have used countless favors to invite some national-level veteran actors and actresses to perform for this drama!
Finally, by mistake, I got a theme song composed and sung by Jiang Kan, the most popular and famous singer at the moment!
Just now, he was standing in front of the screen, listening seriously to Jiang Kan's performance on TV for the first time.
Now, he was also shaken to the point of numbness and goosebumps all over his body.
"This song is so catchy!"
He slapped the table with his hand, startling the data clerk who was concentrating on the various data on the screen!
"Yes...it does...sounds very good..."
The poor clerk looked at his vice president's domineering and arrogant expression, and agreed with some trepidation.
