Xu Chuan has always had a feeling.
That is, as we grow older, it seems that the flow rate in our body also speeds up.
When I was a child, I always felt that a day was very long, but when I grow up, the day flies by.
I still remember when I was in elementary school. If I caught up with the May Day holiday or the National Day holiday, I could do a lot of things. Now, let alone taking a five-day or seven-day holiday.
Even if I had two months of summer vacation, it felt like it passed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, Xu Chuan is neither a student nor a teacher, so he has no summer vacation. However, whether he takes summer vacation or not will not affect the summer vacation of 2022, which is still one month away.
The arrival of summer vacation also heralds the beginning of the summer season, which can be said to be the best period for box office in the domestic film market.
"Two years, two years of hard work are finally coming to fruition. Brothers and sisters, I feel that I must pay tribute to our dear Mr. Xu with this cup.
If it weren't for Mr. Xu, our project would definitely not have progressed so smoothly! For seven hundred days and nights, Mr. Xu has been with us and never left.
Even, in order to solve the difficulties and pain points in the project, even when "Hotel California" won the Grammy Award, the award was received by Mr. Orange. Mr. Xu, not to mention too much, it’s all in the wine. "
In a hotel box, Huan Ze, the director of "The Wandering Blue Star 1", was holding a glass of wine and talking excitedly. After saying these words, he drank the full goblet of white wine in one gulp.
The strong liquor made his face turn red, but his expression was full of happiness.
In this pleasure, he got himself another glass, and then continued: "For this second glass of wine, I think we should respect Mr. Lin. If Mr. Lin hadn't worked hard outside, our plan..."
Just when Huan Ze was about to give an impassioned encore, Lin Mengying next to him smiled and stretched out her hand to interrupt: "Okay, Director Hu, you will have a third glass of wine later. You haven't even eaten yet, so we have to kill you first." Carry it back."
As soon as Lin Mengying spoke, Xu Chuan, who was sitting next to her, also smiled and answered: "We have been together for so long and we are all our own people. We don't do this.
Director Hu, please don’t respect Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is allergic to alcohol. If I am told that I am happy and take a sip, I will be the unlucky one. "
"Hahahahahaha." As soon as Xu Chuan said these words, there was a burst of laughter in the box. At the same time, Lin Mengying also received a punch on the arm.
Should it be said or not, two years later, the relationship between Xu Chuan and Lin Mengying is considered a semi-open secret in the industry. Everyone knows everything that needs to be known.
I can’t get in touch with them if I shouldn’t know, I can’t do anything about what I’ve heard from others, and I don’t dare to bully them.
Moreover, after several years of behind-the-scenes career, in today's fast-paced era. Lin Mengying's influence has completely moved from the stage to behind the scenes.
Netizens don't pay much attention to Lin Mengying herself, and there is no place to discuss her because the media rarely reports on her.
More attention is paid to the company [Qiuling Jiangshui]. To be precise, it is the work of the company Qiuling Jiangshui.
Speaking of this, I have to say that Lin Mengying is extremely busy right now.
Not to mention the development of Shuangmuchuan, [Qiulingjiangshui] has invested in more than just "Wandering Blue Star 1" in the past two years.
From 2020 to now, two movies have been produced, and as many as four movies have been invested.
One of the two films produced was a script received from Blue Star. This was mainly because Xu Chuan wanted to verify whether he could continue to succeed without relying on things on earth.
The results are quite gratifying. The film will be released during the Spring Festival in 2021. An investment of 100 million will earn a box office of 1.2 billion.
As for another movie, it is the famous "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
It was released in the summer of 2021, and both the box office and word-of-mouth exploded. When the awards were held at the end of 21, it was hard to win the award.
The success of these two films made Qiulingjiangshui completely famous in the film industry.
"The Wandering Blue Star 1" will be released soon on June 5th. If it can replicate the success of this movie on earth after it is released, it will be released soon.
That hilly river is about to take off completely in the film industry.
In addition, two TV dramas were also produced. These two dramas did not confiscate the scripts from Blue Star, but used the scripts that Xu Chuan had written one after another in the past few years.
At the beginning of 2021, "The Three-Body Problem" was put on the screen. The ratings and data of this drama on Blue Star are much higher than those on Earth.
Therefore, "The Three-Body Problem" unsurprisingly became the most popular TV series in 2021, and it was easy to win the award.
Just when everyone thought Qiao Ling Jiang Shui would start resting on its laurels and put its energy into creating "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest".
In 2022, that is, at the beginning of this year, Qiu Ling Jiang Shui produced another drama in a way that shocked everyone's jaws.
The play is called "In the Name of the People".
It can be said that the launch of this drama has completely established the status of Hilly River.
This is the one with the most comments from netizens.
Can you shoot this?
Do you dare to take pictures of this?
In fact, there is nothing that you dare not photograph. You can photograph it on Earth. Why can’t you photograph it on Blue Star?
It was at this time that netizens suddenly discovered that Qiulingjiangshui was already a company in the TV drama industry with many classic dramas such as "The Beginning", "Soldier Assault", "Three-Body" and "In the Name of the People".
Every one of these dramas is a phenomenal hit. Just put it aside whether you like it or not. Just say whether it is a hit or not, right?
As a result, some people say that Qiaolingjiangshui is following the pattern of casting one drama every year, and then one drama becoming a hit every year.
Not to mention, Lin Mengying thought so too.
Without investing too much, there is really only one film produced in the name of Qiulingjiangshui in a year, and the others are projects funded by other people.
For example, she is currently working on a TV series that will be broadcast early next year. This TV series is Qiulingjiangshui's first costume drama, and it is called "The Ming Dynasty 1566."
It can be said that as the head of Qiaolingjiangshui, Lin Mengying, no matter how big a celebrity is, she has to politely call her "Mr. Lin" when meeting her.
Except for Kuroko from the Tomb Faction, no one would say that she is just a popular artist with poor acting skills.
As for Qiu Yicheng, she is also extremely busy. Lin Mengying is running domestically, and she is running globally. Sometimes domestic officials will call her to activities organized by foreign officials.
There is no way, except for the older generation who has an international superstar from Xiangjiang, the only two people who are internationally famous now are Qiu Yicheng and Xu Chuan.
Sometimes I have to call over to act as lubricant.
Last year, in June 21, Qiu Yicheng released a new album. This album is not exclusive to MINI. It is an official album with a total of ten songs.
There are four Chinese songs among them, all of which are classics.
There are also four English songs, and they are all classics, all of which have won awards.
Among the remaining two songs, one is a Japanese song. This song is called "Lemon", a classic song from Kenshi Yonezu, which has become popular throughout Southeast Asia.
The reason why Japanese songs are released is very simple. Firstly, the music market in small days is not small and the population is large.
Don’t waste the market around you. Their artists have made a lot of money for us, so we have no reason not to go there and make some money.
Secondly, Xu Chuan accidentally discovered that he could remember so many Japanese song melodies that it would be a waste not to use them.
For those who can remember the meaning of the lyrics, go to the University of Foreign Studies and find a Japanese master to translate and make up the lyrics.
If you can’t remember the meaning, you can simply ask someone from China to write the lyrics and make it into a Chinese song.
In a word, it is impossible to waste money. There is not much inventory in Xu Chuan's mind.
What I just talked about is the ninth song. The last song can be said to be beyond the expectations of all fans. This song is in Vietnamese.
Yes, it’s a Vietnamese song.
This song was not written by Xu Chuan, but a song specially collected by a Vietnamese music production team.
Objectively speaking, with Qiu Yicheng's fame, as long as her current songs are of good quality, they will quickly gain a lot of attention. This is the effect of her popularity.
In addition, people in third world countries really need and like international recognition. For an international superstar like Qiu Yicheng to sing songs in his own language is a very big recognition.
Therefore, Qiu Yicheng's Vietnamese song was released. It immediately became popular in the local area, and it really couldn't be more popular.
But don’t underestimate the market in Vietnam. There are nearly 100 million people in this place.
In general, Vietnam has contributed a lot of sales to Qiu Yicheng's new album.
More importantly, it has radiated to the entire Southeast Asia region through Vietnam. Now everyone is happily waiting to see if Qiu Yicheng can release a song in Thai or any other language.
It can be said that the operation of a Japanese song and a Vietnamese song has made Qiu Yicheng's basic base in Asia more and more stable.
At least her reputation in East and Southeast Asia is very good now.
Of course, this is not accurate. There are also some exceptions, such as South Korea.
In their opinion, you Aola, as a Korean debutant, have released a Japanese song, so you should release a fucking Korean song.
Why do you think you're going to release a Vietnamese song?
Breaking the defense, really breaking the defense.
A lot of Koreans went to Qiu Yicheng's social media account to ask what Qiu Yicheng meant. What's more, some people asked Qiu Yicheng to kneel down and apologize in the comment area.
Their breach of defense and offensive remarks naturally attracted attacks from netizens from other countries.
Anyway, to sum it up in one sentence, Aola just looks down on you Korea, let alone wants to talk to you Korea. Why do you have to humiliate yourself here?
That's right, netizens now know that Qiu Yicheng doesn't like South Korea, so they make it clear.
This is really not due to Xu Chuan's impression, but South Korea asked for it.
In the past two years, in order to promote Kpop, they have been posting a lot of black hats online. South Korea has the most black hats in Asia. It is simply Qiu Yicheng’s hot spot in Asia.
He is either spreading rumors or releasing some false information all day long.
Qiu Yicheng's fans on the Internet all said that "Aola is very unlucky to have stayed in Korea for a few years."
For the above reasons, and in addition, the market in South Korea is already useless. Their own girl groups are not enough, so how can there be a market for Qiu Yicheng.
Therefore, although Xu Chuan also remembers many Korean melodies, he has no intention of producing Korean songs.
The main idea is to give up on them and piss them off.
Looking at it now, the effect is remarkable. Koreans are really pissed off because last month Qiu Yicheng released another Thai song as a warm-up track for this year's album.
Moreover, when facing interviews, he made it clear that he would not produce Korean songs.
Back in the box, after everyone laughed for a while, another main creator said: "Mr. Xu, we usually don't do this, but it's different today. You can say a few words to everyone, and treat it as a drumbeat before going into battle. Morale is up.”
As soon as he said this, the people next to him immediately echoed: "Yes, Mr. Xu, please say a few words."
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head when he heard this, then turned to Lin Mengying and said: "Producer Lin, why don't you tell everyone a few words. I have said too much in the past two years, and everyone is tired of hearing it."
As soon as she said this, Lin Mengying did not refuse. She slowly said: "Everyone, time flies by. Two years ago at this time, Xu Chuan and I had a wedding ceremony at the first National Style Culture Festival. show.
At that time, I never imagined that in just two years, we would put the release of "The Wandering Blue Star" on the schedule.
Thinking back to the scene when I first saw the story of "The Wandering Blue Star", the goosebumps and hair that stood up at that moment are still vivid in my mind.
To be honest, when I heard Xu Chuan tell me that he wanted to make this story into a movie, my first feeling was that he was crazy.
I thought to myself is this possible? Is it possible for our Chinese film industry to produce this story?
Everyone knows that Xu Chuan and I always talk about what we have to say, so I didn't shy away from expressing my inner thoughts and doubts to him.
After hearing my question, he did not reply. Instead, he showed me a piece of information he had collected. Does anyone know what this information is about? "
Having said this, Lin Mengying paused, and then looked around at everyone present.
Finally, she set her sights on Huan Ze, reached out and patted his shoulder and continued: "This information is about Director Hu. To be precise, it is what happened to Director Hu when he was planning to make a science fiction movie in those few years.
After Xu Chuan gave me this information, he told me that he would definitely not be able to make it himself, but if he could leave the film to Director Hu, then the film would definitely be made.
I didn’t understand it at the time, and I didn’t understand why it could be filmed just by being handed over to Director Hu.
Director Hu's resume at that time was not very impressive or impressive.
I was wondering again if it was because Xu Chuan saw the persistence and belief in Director Hu’s experience, and saw Director Hu’s love for science fiction.
That's why he felt that Director Hu could prove the old Chinese saying that 'where there is a will, there is a way'. "
After saying this, Lin Mengying paused again. She turned her head and glanced at Xu Chuan, then brought over the two-cent wine cup in front of Xu Chuan.
Then he stood up and said to everyone: "Later I discovered that my thinking was still a little shallow. Director Hu can prove that the old saying that where there is a will, there is a way."
But in addition to confirming this sentence, he also confirmed one thing, that is, excellent people will inevitably attract excellent people.
There is a saying that the phoenix will come when the sky is high, and the butterflies will come when the flowers fragrant. I think the reason why Xu Chuan believed that our film would be successful if directed by Hu.
On the one hand, it’s because of Director Hu’s own excellence. Second, it is because he firmly believes that with the example of Director Hu, we will be able to attract more like-minded talents to join our team.
Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with what he firmly believes, because seeing all of you here today has proven that this belief is right.
It is precisely because of your talent and hard work that our project is progressing so smoothly.
Therefore, I think that with this glass of wine, I represent the crew of "The Wandering Blue Star", the hills and rivers, Xu Chuan, and myself. "
As soon as these words came out, Huan Ze and others beside him quickly said: "Mr. Lin, everyone is already so moved by your words. There is really no need to drink wine."
Hearing this, Lin Mengying stretched out her hand to stop Huan Ze and said: "Everyone has worked hard on the crew in the past two years, and I am here to fight for my life today, otherwise I would be embarrassed to say that I am your comrade-in-arms."
After saying that, she picked up the two-cent cup and drank it in one gulp.
Xu Chuan, who was next to him, couldn't help grinning when he saw this woman who had been married to him for exactly two years talking so much.
While laughing, she thought to herself, when had she ever questioned whether she could successfully film "The Wandering Blue Star"?
When did he show her Huan Ze's information?
It has to be Mr. Lin. He is so skilled at this method of inviting people to buy people's hearts. The most important thing is that when she invites people's hearts, the protagonist in her mouth is always Xu Chuan, not herself.
Anyway, as a player who everyone knows is allergic to alcohol, he had this conversation before and a drink later.
The atmosphere at the scene was brought to its peak by her.
As for Lin Mengying, who had just finished a glass of wine, her face turned into a peach blossom within a short time.
But Xu Chuan is not worried. For her, Erqian Baijiu will at best make her skin red and hot, so there is no danger.
She wasn't at the point where alcohol would cause problems. However, it is still necessary to eat more fat and suppress alcohol.
So Xu Chuan stretched out his chopsticks and picked up two pieces of meat for her. Lin Mengying usually dared to eat this stuff. Seeing Xu Chuan pick it up, she immediately looked at Xu Chuan with an exaggerated look.
"It's delicious. Eat more to relieve your hangover." Xu Chuan said with a smile.
"I'm trying to lose weight." Lin Mengying pulled the meat in front of her twice, and her throat instinctively rolled twice. It was obvious that she wanted to eat it. It was so fragrant.
"What's the point of losing weight without getting fat?"
"My belly is almost coming out, and I'm not fat yet." Lin Mengying whispered in a coquettish tone. After speaking, she leaned close to Xu Chuan's ear and continued, "I'm going to be laughed at by idiot Qiu Er later in the evening."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Chuan's throat also rolled.
Today is May 2nd. Two years ago today, Xu Chuan and Qiu Yicheng’s wedding show ended. The three of them returned to Shanghai that night for a hearty Landlord fight.
Ever since, today has become the wedding anniversary of three people.
Qiu Yicheng, whom she hadn't seen for more than two months, had specially come back from the United States. She was taking a break from jet lag at home just to celebrate the anniversary.
Since it is an anniversary, of course it must have a sense of ceremony. In addition to the sense of ceremony, of course there must also be some activities.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan suddenly wanted to end the meal quickly.
It's boring to eat, but it's more interesting to go home and play landlords. We only play like this once or twice a year. At other times, we are basically in a state of being short of poker friends.
