"Teacher Han!"
Han Zhou was amused: "Oh, I don't deserve it."
The director of Mango TV laughed and said, "That must be a teacher. Who in the entertainment industry dares to call you a teacher without the word 'teacher' in the title?"
In fact, although the two have not had much cooperation, to be honest, they have contacted each other many times and are not strangers.
Yang Chuan and others now frequently appear on Mango TV's programs. New World has a lot of collaborations with them, but most of them are in the artist field.
Han Zhou laughed: "Just say it straight."
Director of Mango TV: "Then I'll be honest, we want In the Name of People."
Han Zhou: “This drama is very expensive.”
Director of Mango TV: "We can afford it."
Han Zhou: "No, it's not that simple. I feel that this drama may not be rebroadcast for the second time after the first broadcast, so I have to make sure I make enough money in the first round."
After hearing what Han Zhou said, Director Mango hesitated a little: "What's the number?"
Han Zhou: "Five hundred million plus 10% advertising fee."
This asking price made the director of Mango TV pause.
This price is horrible and too high.
If you, Han Zhou, were to star in this play yourself, we would accept this price. But you didn't act in it, and you're not even the director. Are you sure you want this price?
Director of Mango TV: “Isn’t this a bit… too expensive?”
Han Zhou: "I guarantee that the ratings will be above five. If it doesn't reach that level, you don't have to pay for the advertising."
Director Mango: "Okay! It's settled then."
To be honest, Mango TV spends three to four hundred million yuan every year to buy a hit drama.
500 million compared to 370 or 380 million is only 20 to 30 percent more.
The director of Mango TV has watched some sample clips and feels that the ratings of this drama will definitely be more than 2%.
As long as it reaches more than three or five hundred million, there will be profit.
If the ratings really reach over 5%, what if we give 10% of the advertising fee? Or even 20%?
The ratings of this drama alone will allow Mango TV's entire theater to rank first in the year-end satellite TV ratings. This is a good thing that money can't buy!
Of course, this is what the director of Mango TV thinks.
If a director from another station were to come here, no one would be able to afford the TV series at this price.
For Mango TV, this is a good deal that kills three birds with one stone. For others, it is a high price that they cannot afford even if they tighten their belts.
So after CCTV stopped broadcasting the show, Mango TV came knocking, which was the best choice for New World.
Han Zhou quoted the actual price without even thinking about it.
Since they have agreed, then the matter is settled.
…
October has arrived quickly. Although there has been no main-theme movie in the Beijing circle for a year, there is still one movie in stock from last year, and it is time to make money from it.
Tianle still pounced on it very ferociously. Any time when New World was not there was a good day for Tianle to step into the Beijing circle.
This time, the movie "The Desert" starring actor Zhang Qingyun was released. He was determined to use his reputation as a big actor to scale up the production of commercial films and completely entered the Beijing circle.
If the Beijing circle fails to make money during this period, then the circle will be sluggish this year and will have to suffer for most of next year.
After all, when their projects came into Han Zhou's hands, none of them passed the review.
Starting from October 1st, Mango TV launched "In the Name of People".
Normally, Han Zhou would go to the TV station to watch every TV series before, but this time is an exception.
Firstly, New World will have more and more projects in the future, and there will be more and more works in which Han Zhou will not act or direct. It is impossible for Han Zhou to support every project, right?
The second is that Han Zhou must attend the evening event for Zhang Qingyun’s new movie.
The last time something went wrong at the May 68 concert in Los Angeles, it was Zhang Qingyun who used his personal connections there to resolve the issue. Does Han Zhou seem like the kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful?
After finishing today’s dinosaur modeling screening, I hurriedly flew from Yanjing to Shanghai.
In fact, the premiere had already ended, but everyone knew that many people couldn't arrive in the morning because it was National Day after all, so the party in the evening was very grand.
The entire nightclub has been booked and is closed today.
You could have also chosen a high-end bar, a quieter bar or a club.
However, Zhang Qingyun felt that it was too formal. In a dim environment, most friends could relax.
For example, if someone like Han Zhou attends a drinking party in a bright and high-end bar, he will be surrounded by almost everyone present to toast, drink, chat and exchange pleasantries.
But in an environment like a nightclub, Han Zhou just said hello to Zhang Qingyun and then went to find people he knew. There was no need to communicate too much with people he didn't know well.
In fact, this is convenience for others and for yourself.
The key point is that those who are of low status in the entertainment industry, when they see the movie kings and superstars, would they have the nerve not to step forward and say hello?
Even the best actor is annoyed by this, so you have to go too.
How do you know if this big boss will see that you didn’t come to say hello today and become petty and hold a grudge against you?
It’s different in a dimly lit bar, where you can totally understand that it’s too dark to see.
No one was embarrassed.
When Han Zhou arrived at the scene, of course the first thing he went to was to look for Wang Xiya.
As the big boss of Tianle, although Wang Xiya does not usually show up at events, the bigwigs in the circle all know who is the owner of Tianle and who is the protagonist of today.
Wang Xiya has a lot of people around her.
Han Zhou came over and everyone greeted him.
When Wang Xiya saw Han Zhou, the smile on her face became genuine. Han Zhou didn't hear what she said. Anyway, the people surrounding her all dispersed.
Han Zhou walked up to them, and Wang Xiya pulled Han Zhou to sit down: "We're finally here."
Han Zhou poured a glass of wine: "I'm so tired."
Wang Xiya: "Can I give you a massage?"
Han Zhou: "Forget it. There are so many people around and it will be hard for someone to see us."
"This movie should be able to dominate the Beijing circle, right?"
Wang Xiya nodded.
Han Zhou: "Okay, you can notify the people you choose to be ready to join the group."
Wang Xiya: "Jurassic" will start filming so soon?"
Han Zhou shook his head: "We joined the team a few months in advance to get used to it. We spared no expense this time and strived for perfection."
Han Zhou's films are now taking longer and longer to shoot.
However, this is a good phenomenon, which shows that the new world is getting bigger and bigger.
Making ten times the money with ten dollars is something that anyone can do if they think carefully.
But making three times the money with one billion is the most profitable business and the greatest knowledge in the world.
As the scale grows, the scene of the new world of small-scale big wins has become a thing of the past. Now it is the new world of big companies, and it is time to do what big companies should do.
The two of them sat in a corner, drinking and chatting about recent events in their lives.
Wang Xiya took out a small bottle and showed it to Han Zhou: "Do you know what this is?"
Han Zhou took a look and saw that they were melon seeds.
Then reacted.
Han Zhou planted sunflowers half a year ago, and they finally bloomed in September.
However, Han Zhou was filming in Jinling at that time, so he asked Sister Hong to cut the sunflowers and give them to Wang Xiya.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiya fried the sunflower seeds into melon seeds after the flowers withered.
"Is it tasty?"
Wang Xiya: “I haven’t eaten yet.”
"Do you want to peel one? You planted it yourself, and you've never eaten it."
Han Zhou: "I'll try."
Wang Xiya took out two, one for each of her and Han Zhou.
A voice came: "Okay, you guys can eat sunflower seeds here secretly."
Han Zhou looked up and saw a familiar face. It was Wei Zihan.
The eldest daughter of Shanhai Automobile and now the helmsman of Shanhai.
Han Zhou was happy: "Oh, you are here too?"
Wei Zihan greeted them: "Of course I came, we are the sponsor of "Dustless Desert"."
After investing in "Burning Sun", Wei Zihan invested in several other movies.
This year, the box office of "The Sun Also Rises" has exceeded 1 billion yuan, and the advertising effect is great. Even many police forces have begun to order Shanhai's cars as police cars. This is a big business.
So this time, Wei Zihan came in person to set the scene of "Juechen Desert".
Han Zhou was suddenly embarrassed after hearing this.
What! Is "Desert City" a modern movie?
Han Zhou, who was already extremely busy, thought that "The Desert" was a costume commercial film just by hearing the title.
Although Lin Lin collected the information and sent it to Han Zhou's email, how could Han Zhou have the time to read it?
Fortunately, I didn’t chat with Zhang Qingyun for too long, otherwise I would have almost exploded!
Han Zhou also lamented that he almost made a mistake, and felt that he was too busy and neglected many things.
After Wei Zihan sat down, he reached out his hand and asked Wang Xiya for some melon seeds. Wang Xiya simply screwed the cap on the small bottle and hid it: "You can't give this to me."
Then he waved to the waiter and said, "Bring a plate of the best melon seeds to Mr. Wei."
After the waiter left, Wei Zihan hesitated and said, "You guys are not drinking..."
Han Zhou is the spokesperson for Shanhai Automobile. If anything goes wrong with Han Zhou, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of Shanhai Automobile.
Domestic cars have no good reputation to begin with, and they have just started to recover in the past two years. If they fail, it will be terrible.
Wang Xiya: "What are you thinking about? No, just ordinary melon seeds."
Wei Zihan became even more curious.
Curious babies are like this. Even if you don’t tell me, I still want to know. The key is that if this matter is not explained clearly, it will still be a big trouble.
Wang Xiya could only tell Wei Zihan that the melon seeds were grown by Han Zhou himself.
Upon hearing this explosive news, Wei Zihan realized.
It turns out that these two people are having an affair!
Wei Zihan suddenly remembered that he had heard someone talk about Han Zhou causing a scene at the Shanghai Film Festival. It was said that Wang Xiya represented all the relevant companies in the northern film industry and withdrew from the festival.
I used to think that the two parties were in a cooperative relationship, so everyone would prosper together. But now I think that’s not right. We are talking business, so how could that be possible?
Although Wei Zihan didn't know what the whole thing was about, he guessed most of it right.
I remembered this incident because Wei Zihan particularly liked the song "Kill that Changshan Man".
After chatting with Han Zhou and Wang Xiya for a while, Wei Zihan said: "Han Zhou, can you write a new song for our advertisement?"
Han Zhou: "Sure, what's the price?"
Wei Zihan: "Let's get one that's not that expensive? I've been investing a lot in movies lately, I'm poor."
Han Zhou smiled: "Miss Wei, are you still pretending to be poor in front of us?"
"Okay, I'll write you a song. What style do you want?"
Wei Zihan: "I like "Kill That Changshan Man", can you write a song with a similar style?"
When Wei Zihan said this, he stared at Wang Xiya the whole time to see Wang Xiya's reaction.
Wei Zihan's successful gossip has arrived.
Because of this light, Wei Zihan saw Wang Xiya blushing.
Although Wei Zihan had not heard the complete version of the "Magic City Film Festival" incident, he now knew it clearly.
Han Zhou: "How much do you want? Buy it out? Do you want me to sing? It would be valuable if you want me to sing."
Wei Zihan: “30 million.”
Han Zhou: "30 million? OK, I'll sing."
Wei Zihan was very happy. He spent 30 million to get a big news and earned a song by the way.
Han Zhou's brain started working, he reviewed the conditions and instantly knew which song was suitable.
Works like "Killing the Changshan Man" are actually similar to Wan Qing's style.
Caodong?
In the later period of the Taiwan Strait in the past life, there were a lot of bands in the Wan Qing style. In the hearts of independent rock musicians over there, Wan Qing was no different from a god.
It’s a pity that Caodong’s drummer is gone, and they haven’t performed much since then. Han Zhou had never heard a live version in his previous life.
However, Caodong has a song called "Mountains and Seas", which Han Zhou had heard a hundred or eighty times on short video websites in his previous life.
And the name of Shanhai Automobile is Shanhai, isn’t it suitable?
It’s a match made in heaven. This 30 million yuan opportunity belongs exclusively to “Shan Hai”!
Han Zhou tapped his knees with his fingers: "I have an idea."
Wang Xiya smiled: "You have already prepared the outline and finished in your mind."
Wei Zihan was stunned for a moment: "Is it so magical?"
"You wrote a song in such a short time!?"
"Hey? I have quite a few singer friends too, they spend half a year just writing a song and it takes them half a year to figure it out?!"
Han Zhou laughed out loud. There was no one around. Wang Xiya was just joking, so Han Zhou didn't hide it. "Yes, I've finished writing it. I can sing it now."
Wei Zihan was shocked, but calm: "It's a bar, the equipment is complete, are you sure you want to sing now?"
Han Zhou: "You can sing now."
Soon, all the guests present knew that Han Zhou was going to sing live.
No one was chatting anymore and they just stood around the stage.
The people at the scene were either entertainment superstars or behind-the-scenes bigwigs, or elites from Shanghai's business circle, but these people all had one thing in common: none of them had ever heard Han Zhou sing live.
Since the May 68th concert, Han Zhou has hardly sung anymore. Even if you have a lot of money to spend, you won't be able to hear Han Zhou sing.
So, everyone is looking forward to it.
Han Zhou went on stage to adjust the microphone and approached it: "President Wei bought a song, which is the theme song for Shanhai's advertisement, so you can shoot it, but don't spread it out, at least not before the Shanhai advertisement comes out."
Some celebrities in the audience who knew him shouted, "Okay, Brother Han."
"No problem, Old Han!"
Han Zhou Lehe: "A song with a similar expression style to "Kill That Changshan Man", rock, sad love song, "Mountains and Seas"."
"I'll drink some before I sing, and everyone else will drink some before they listen, how about that?"
There was cheering at the scene.
Han Zhou did not sing in the original style.
Because at the beginning, "Kill That Changshan Man" was not sung in the original style, but a version closer to a screaming style.
This time, Han Zhou chose a version by Bar Chaebol Brother (Eelin) that is widely circulated on the Internet. In fact, there is not much difference in the arrangement, only the singing style is different.
"I look at my innocent self
Appearing in a story without me
Waiting for my response
A reason why it has come to this..."
There was no accompaniment on the scene, just guitar and a drummer who was beating out the rhythm but not completely fitting the song.
Therefore, the style of the whole song is not fully highlighted.
However, Han Zhou's personal singing skills are much better than that bar guy in his previous life .
Therefore, in this version that originally focuses on vocals, Han Zhou's vocals are more prominent.
The people at the scene listened to this passage quietly, totally unaware that an explosion was just around the corner.
"He understands, he understands, I can't give
So I turned and walked towards the mountains
He understands, he understands, I can't give
So he turned and walked towards the sea!!!"
The wild high notes are amazing.
The high pitch and heavy sound made people who heard the song for the first time on the spot get excited immediately.
In the crowd, Wang Xiya was very happy. He said he would give me a song with a similar style to "Kill That Changshan Man", but he never did. Therefore, "Kill That Changshan Man" will always belong to me.
The other people at the scene were very surprised, it was a completely different singing style, but this song was really "Killing"!
Especially "Appearing in a story without me", it sounds like "Ping Pong Boy With His Back to Me".
In fact, although the people at the scene listening to "Sha Chang" and Wang Xiya listening to "Sha Chang" were listening to the same song and the same performance, they were two completely different experiences.
"I listened to the boy's voice, in the past when there was still a future
Longing for a happy ending
But I couldn’t be myself!”
"But I couldn't! Be myself!!!"
When Han Zhou sang the words "become yourself", a heart-wrenching feeling surged over him.
On the stage, Han Zhou, who was playing the role of a chaebol brother, woke up immediately.
Now when Han Zhou sings this kind of songs, his singing skills and emotions have fully covered the original version, and it is easy to be out of character.
However, Han Zhou left the scene just when he finished singing the line "opening his eyes".
Many women at the scene were fascinated by him.
When Han Zhou debuted a few years ago, he was still a young boy, at most a clean young man, um, a mentally ill young man.
But today, Han Zhou can sing a song as if his wife has run away.
That sense of vicissitudes gives people a different feeling.
不是唱功唱法上的震撼，是纯粹的感情震撼。
"He understands, he understands, I can't give
So I turned and walked towards the mountains
He understands, he understands, I can't give
So he turned and walked towards the sea! "
Live here? Wei Zihan is about to faint.
I'm just paying to eat melons.
Unexpectedly, I got a song that I really like.
It’s a pity that this man has someone he loves, otherwise he would have to spend money to give it a try!
Everyone at the scene thought it sounded good. After all, he is Han Zhou. Which song of his can you say is bad?
But none of them loved it as much as Wei Zihan did, who spent 30 million.
Wei Zihan liked it so much that after returning home, he immediately asked the advertising company to use a version with live acoustic guitar and only the musicians trying to follow the rhythm and drums, and then use it to make the advertisement.
Shanhai Group had already prepared the advertisement, but it was withdrawn directly.
In just a few days, Zhang Qingyun's "The Desert" swept the box office market, but it was not as crazy as other movies in the schedule, but it also foreshadowed that the billion-dollar box office was a foregone conclusion.
"In the Name of People" has gradually sparked discussion, but it has not yet become a hot topic.
At this time, Shanhai’s advertisement became popular.
The song became popular too.
The whole sound wave exploded.
"Lao Han said he would release an album, but there's no progress at all. He even wrote a jingle instead?"
"I am dying of laughter at Shanhai Group. Are you sure Han Zhou is not trying to trick them with this song?"
"I feel like Lao Han is deliberately trying to trick them. What was the boss of Shanhai thinking when he wrote these lyrics? Is he really going to use them as an advertising song?"
"Wait a minute, I checked several times. Is this Shanhai Automobile's advertising song about 'He knows I can't afford it, so he turns around and walks into the mountains'?"
The person below replied: "That's right. Those who can afford it are driving to the mountains. We can't afford it, so we can only walk."
Han Zhou never expected that a song that had no meme in his previous life would become a meme in this world due to special circumstances.
'He realized he knew I couldn't afford it, so he turned and walked back into the mountains.'
'He realized he knew I couldn't afford it, so he turned and walked towards the sea.'
In fact, this song is quite suitable as a car song. It has the spaciousness, the thoughtfulness, the explosion and the rhythm.
Shanhai did not expect that its mediocre domestic car brand would suddenly become a well-known car brand among all age groups. It is not known whether this popularity is good or bad, but it has become famous anyway.
Many companies are jealous and say, "Fuck, 30 million is enough to get this reputation, I'll pay 40 million!"
Unfortunately, they couldn’t even find Han Zhou recently.
Not to mention them, even Yang Hong couldn’t find it.
While the "Jurassic" team was frantically modeling, building computer models, and making corresponding leather cases, Han Zhou had already started preparing for his own album.
Although the movie is good, don't be greedy. Han Zhou has been too busy this year and has forgotten a lot of things.
Now I think of Uncle Han's mother and my own grandmother's words, 'Happiness is only when you hold a hot steamed bun in your hands.' I really should spend time doing something other than movies.
It was at this time that a piece of news came that made Han Zhou a little bit unbelievable.
The American version of "Singing" Season 4 invited him to participate, and the price was so high that Han Zhou really couldn't refuse.
This price is equal to the profit of a movie of "Twilight"!
Album, "Singing", what to do?
Only children make choices!
Of course adults would choose to fool everyone together... No, of course adults would choose to take everything seriously together!
