Chapter 605 I’m familiar with this job


    Chen Qi reached into the water and stirred it.


    He didn’t delay it intentionally. On the first day of his trip to Hong Kong, he accepted an exclusive interview with China Youth Daily and said: “It was a complete misunderstanding. I just heard that CCTV was going to make a TV series and thought of the movie, so I wrote an article.


    Dongfang Company was busy with business and had no time to film "Dream of Red Mansions". This requires at least a 3-5 year cycle and requires extremely meticulous preparation and patience. Only a few major studios have the strength to do it, but we cannot. "


    He waved his sleeves and escaped, leaving a trail of barking.


    Wang Fulin broke out in a cold sweat and was frightened to death by Chen Qi. Fortunately, he didn''t take pictures. Director Wang has a very reserved temperament and is secretly determined to make a good TV series.


    Let’s just talk about Beijing Film Studio.


    Wang Yang''s retirement is getting closer, and he only has a few months left.


    The old man walks around the factory with his hands behind his back every day, looking here and there, but rarely makes specific decisions, especially long-term things. He has made up his mind now. When the new factory director takes office, he still doesn’t know what will happen.


    But today, he rarely convened a meeting with factory leaders to study "Dream of Red Mansions".


    "The studio has long had an intention to film "Dream of Red Mansions" and has discussed it several times. We all agreed that it should be filmed. The key is whether it should be filmed by our generation or by the next generation.


    Since there has never been a conclusion, "A Dream of Red Mansions" has been shelved. Everyone knows the recent bustle..."


    As soon as Wang Yang said this, Zhang Erzan asked: "Where is Xiao Chen now?"


    "Going to Hong Kong again!"


    "He ran away after mixing it up?"


    "That kid is so virtuous, he wants to get involved in everything he sees, so let''s not talk about him!"


    Wang Yang continued: "Although Dongfang Company said it would not film "Dream of Red Mansions", I think it also gave us a wake-up call. Everyone in the literary and art circles knows that "Dream of Red Mansions" is difficult. If you don''t dare, I don''t dare, then what?" When can we see a real "Dream of Red Mansions" movie?


    Is it really left to the next generation to film? So what do people think of us later? "


    "So you support filming?"


    "My personal attitude is that "Dream of Red Mansions" will be filmed, and it will be filmed by our Beijing Film Studio!"


    “…”


    Zhang Erzhan paused and said: "Lao Wang, let me be honest. Now that you have made a decision, Hu Qiming may have different opinions. Moreover, the preparation of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a long process, so there is no need to rush it.


    We can first find some red experts to demonstrate and study the script without spending much money. When everyone is gathered, we can discuss it together and decide whether to shoot or not? "


    "Yes, that makes sense!"


    "We also want to film "Dream of Red Mansions". Everyone wants to film "Dream of Red Mansions", but there are too many problems. It''s best to have unified opinions and avoid internal disunity."


    "You can discuss it with a red expert first..."


    Wang Yang nodded and added: "The filming period of "Dream of Red Mansions" must be very long. The big directors in the studio are old and may not be able to support it. Xie Tielia is still young. If it is to be filmed, I support him as the director."


    "Well, Xie Tieli can do it!"


    "He is only 59 years old and at his peak creative period!"


    "If "Dream of Red Mansions" is really filmed, it will definitely be a jewel in the crown of Beijing Film Studio!"


    Everyone became excited as they talked. Those who make movies are all literary and artistic. "Dream of Red Mansions" has a special status in their hearts. Even if they haven''t seen it, they would still admire it, unlike Li Shaohong...


    Chen Qi occupied the land in Rongning Mansion because he was afraid that Beijing Film Studio would stop filming.


    Now several people have initially reached an agreement, and they are very inclined to shoot.


    ………


    Hong Kong film scene last year.


    "Five Lucky Stars" took in 23 million at the box office, and Cheng Long''s "Plan A" took in 19.23 million. However, this film hit 2 billion at the box office in Japan, officially establishing Cheng Long as a superstar.


    Six left-wing films entered the top ten, which was even stronger than the year before. Needless to say, New Art City, the films produced by Mai Jia and Shi Tian hit the market one after another. Only Huang Baiming filmed "Yin Yang" under the New Art City brand. The box office exceeded 10 million, but it did not enter the top ten.


    The other two spots are for "E.T." and Legendary Pictures'' "Seven Days of Love."


    At the beginning of this year, Xu Guanwen''s "Teppanyaki" won the Spring Festival championship with 19 million, so I won''t go into details.


    This year''s leftist film list mainly includes "The Working Emperor", "Mirage", "Happy Ghost 2", "Fatal Delivery", "Xin Zha Junior Sister", and a Christmas blockbuster prepared by Chen Qi.


    On the Legendary Pictures side, there are "Mr. Zombie" and "The Wrong Ride".


    Chen Qi has not worked in vain in the past few years and has recruited many talents to help him solve his problems. He doesn''t have to do everything himself when it comes to movies. He doesn''t worry about every detail. He only makes his own key films every year.


    He has two big goals for this year:


    Completely kill Xinyi City and let Princess Jin disintegrate!


    Let freedom always come to an end!


    …


    Clearwater Bay studio.


    As soon as Chen Qi came back, he called Zhuang Cheng and asked about the situation of the two dramas. While they were chatting, Shi Nan came in angrily: "Why haven''t you found an assistant yet? I have your stuff!"


    She put down a box and left in a hurry.


    Chen Qi opened it casually, yo!


    He said a few words in a hurry and hung up the phone.


    There is a vinyl record and a cassette in the box. On the cover are an innocent girl with short hair, wearing a white skirt and looking like she is swinging. It is Priscilla Chan. There is also a line of words printed: Everyone has a dream!


    This is Priscilla Chan''s debut album.


    When albums are released in Hong Kong, they are all released on vinyl and tape.


    Chen Qi did not listen to the song immediately, but called Liang Dexian of Gold Medal Records and asked: "I received the album, when will it be released? Next week, I will be back in time. Are there any promotional activities?"


    "Promotion for singers is not as complicated as for movies. It mainly relies on TV, radio, and on-site autograph signings. You know TV better than I do. Radio relies on fans'' demand."


    "Tell me carefully!"


    Liang Dexian Balabala said something to the effect that the new album will be promoted on the radio. The radio station will judge the popularity of the song based on the number of listeners'' requests and feedback. If the popularity is high, the radio station will take the initiative to recommend it.


    If the popularity is very high, then Radio Television Hong Kong has a selection called "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs", which is the most authoritative music award in Hong Kong. If you can be selected among them, it proves that the singer is indeed popular.


    "Is it evaluated once a year?"


    "Yes, the awards are given out in January every year, and this year''s has ended."


    "What are the rules?"


    "Well, it has a very complicated selection process, with weekly..."


    Liang Dexian kept talking, Chen Qi''s eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, and he slapped the table. It''s so complicated, isn''t it just for rankings!


    In an instant, it dawned on him that this was a familiar job!


    "We will study it in detail, but you should stay put for now. By the way, where are the albums of Zhang Xueyou, Lin Yilian, and Huang Kaiqin?"


    "It is also being produced. Priscilla Chan will be given priority as you ordered. In fact, TVB also has a Golden Melody Award, but Priscilla Chan debuted on ATV. Unless she formally signs a singer contract with TVB, she won''t be able to get on TVB."


    "Yes, I understand. I will go find you tomorrow!"


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Qi walked around the room and suddenly felt happy: It is so wise to open the fans club first! This comes in handy.
