Chapter 68: The Origin of the Ghostly Beast
Wang Chuyang had never seen such a world in his life, and he immediately became Spartan.
While excitedly eating melons, fighting the cold wind.
Chen Xiaoyong looked at him for a while, then pushed Wang Chuyang into bed: "I'm freezing to death, go back to sleep."
On the other side, Zhang Jiuquan turned around and saw Han Zhou who was also watching the fun. He walked out of the room wearing a military coat.
"Da da da."
Han Zhou opened the room and saw Zhang Jiuquan smoking, so he lit one himself.
Zhang Jiuquan: "Boss, I've been thinking about this for half the night. I have to apologize to you for this incident."
Han Zhou waved his hand: "This is not your problem, this is his problem."
Zhang Jiuquan: "No, this is my problem. I've been thinking about it all night, and now I feel that this matter is not reliable."
Han Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Zhang Jiuquan: "That Zhao Xiangcong is just a mid-level leader of Youvideo."
"He said he came to discuss the copyright of 'Lin Yuan Shen Shen', but in reality, he couldn't afford to spend that much money."
"It's obvious that the copyright has been negotiated long ago. He is here either to run errands or has some ulterior motive."
"In short, he doesn't have the energy to make the decision alone."
You know, at this stage, short video websites are still burning money and not making any money.
Ever since Zber started burning money, the money-burning war among Internet companies has begun.
For large companies like Penguin, the first step they take is not to develop taxi-hailing software, but video and music software.
Spend money on this.
Every big-budget film or TV series represents an opportunity for one short video website to surpass another in a short period of time.
Therefore, the only ones who can really make the decision here are the top management of Youvideo.
And it is the top floor among the high-rise buildings.
Only then are you qualified to make the decision.
"I've thought it through. Zhao Xiangcong can't be blamed for this."
"People in the industry should have known that people like Zhao Xiangcong don't have much money, and it's impossible for him to have more than 10 million."
"When we found him, he tacitly agreed that there were two situations."
"Either our movie is worth less than 10 million. Although Ye Manyi is in the cast, she doesn't have many scenes."
"Another situation is to tell others clearly that we are newcomers and don't know the rules of the industry. If we go to him, we will be cheated."
Han Zhou was also stunned after hearing what Zhang Jiuquan said.
According to Zhang Jiuquan's analysis, this is absolutely correct.
It is impossible for Zhao Xiangcong to have a large amount of funds. If I talk to him, wouldn't it be obvious that I am a newcomer in the industry and don't understand the market?
It's like taking ten tons of gold to a gold shop and asking if they will accept it.
However, this also indirectly illustrates another problem, that is, there is something fishy about the movie "Deep in the Forest".
Han Zhou smiled and said, "We have a shallow foundation in this industry, so we have to think for ourselves no matter what we do."
"After this experience, we will have more experience next time."
Han Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Jiu, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll contact Director Chang Xiao and ask him for the contact information of the senior executives of You Video. You go and talk to them."
"Our film, This Man From Earth, will be broadcast online during the Spring Festival."
"We don't sell copyrights, we only broadcast. If users pay six yuan for broadcasting rights, they have to give us four yuan."
Zhang Jiuquan thought: "Are you sure you want four?"
Han Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry. At this stage, Youshou and Penguin Video are fighting hard."
"They are now competing with each other in terms of the number of VIP users in their annual reports."
"Ye Manyi is the heroine of this movie. If they don't show some sincerity, I can sell it to one of the parties separately at a higher price."
Zhang Jiuquan: "If Youvideo wants to make money, it can just give us all without sharing the revenue and ask for the exclusive broadcasting rights..."
Han Zhou smiled: "I don't lack fame now, I just lack money. If they really want to make some money, then it's not impossible."
"But then again, what they want now is membership numbers, not revenue."
"For the sake of membership, maybe we will go this far."
If the broadcast price is six yuan per time, all the money except for the operating expenses will be given to New World.
Then they won't be able to keep a penny, but! They can earn VIP registration.
The VIP registration of video websites is to use rich content to stimulate users to purchase VIP.
Perhaps a large number of Ye Manyi fans are in a state where they want to purchase VIP but are hesitant and don’t want to spend so much money.
One more work by Ye Manyi can stimulate countless fans to become members.
Moreover, this movie has a lot of gimmicks.
Science fiction film, Han Zhou's second film.
Starring Ye Manyi.
Various golden supporting roles.
The characters are very well configured and the subject matter is popular.
As for how it works, that is not Han Zhou's business.
I talked with Zhang Jiuquan about the hairstyle in "This Man From Earth" for more than an hour. When I was getting ready for bed, I couldn't sleep for much longer.
Han Zhou had to rush to Xiaoshan again early in the morning and take a plane to Shudu to participate in the last roadshow of "Hello Mr. Tree".
…
At the airport, Wang Xiya picked up Han Zhou and rushed to Jinniu Cinema with Han Zhou.
"There's a surprise in today's event."
Han Zhou, who was drinking the soy milk brought by Wang Xiya, suddenly burst out laughing.
The soy milk sprayed everywhere.
"You're not going to... invite my parents over?"
Wang Xiya didn't expect Han Zhou to react so strongly: "...Don't you want to see them?"
"It's not that I don't want to see them." Han Zhou: "I don't want them to see me perform live."
"After all, my fans all think I'm mentally ill. Last time, my mom talked to me on the phone for more than 40 minutes."
Han Zhou thought for a moment and said, "They weren't arranged to go on stage, right?"
Wang Xiya: “…”
"It has been arranged, but it has not been made public yet."
"Okay, we won't arrange for them to go on stage. It's fine to let them watch the movie from below. I'll just mention that their parents are here. Don't give them any shots, and don't film their reactions." Han Zhou: "That's fine."
Wang Xiya took out her cell phone and gave instructions about this.
Shudu, it’s the last day of the roadshow.
To be honest, people who come to the cinema don't come for the movies anymore.
How many art film fans are there in China?
Moreover, 90% of art film fans are just pretending to be cool. How many of them really like watching art films?
There are often award-winning art films in China that earn hundreds of thousands of dollars at the box office.
Just to show off, just watch the version on the video website. Spending real money to watch the movie? You're overthinking it.
All those present were fans of Han Zhou and An Lan.
Especially since this is Shudu, Han Zhou’s hometown and home ground.
This was Han Zhou’s first time returning to his hometown to perform, so his fans came privately in an organized manner. Eighty percent of the people present were Han Zhou’s fans.
Moreover, only a few percent of people entered the theaters.
It was the first time that Han Zhou saw more than a thousand of his fans gathered together in the square outside the cinema shopping mall.
"Han Zhou!"
"Old Han!"
"Brother Han!"
No organization at all.
The key is, it’s not that fanatical.
Other people’s fans fainted when they saw the stars coming, but you fainted instead!
Someone in the crowd even shouted, "Tang Zhou! Give me an autograph!"
Han Zhou glared at him: "Han Zhou!"
The people around burst into laughter.
Han Zhou also signed a few autographs.
Han Zhou: "If you see it, just disperse. Don't block the road. Disperse, disperse!"
On the contrary, there were fewer fans coming to An Lan's side, but their screams were deafening.
Although An Lan's fanatical fans followed the roadshow for seven days, there were only a few people who showed up on the last day.
But the fighting power is indeed strong.
…
Inside the cinema, the audience was still very enthusiastic.
Although it was dark under the stage, Han Zhou still saw his parents at a glance.
Sitting in a very corner position.
Host: "Han Zhou, we all know that you are a kid from Shudu."
"During the last roadshow, you sang a song called 'Under the Sea', which became a hit on the Internet. Although there is no music software, on the short video platform, the video with the most comments reached more than 100,000 comments, and there were more than ten videos with more than 10,000 comments."
"Now that you're back, do you have any songs you want to share with your fellow countrymen?"
Han Zhou smiled and said, "For one song, I made two versions, one in Sichuan dialect and one in Mandarin."
"The Mandarin version has not been produced yet, and the Sichuan dialect version has no soundtrack, but today we invited seniors from the Shudu Theater to help with the accompaniment."
"This song is for my fans, and the Sichuan dialect version is specially for my fans in my hometown."
The audience already had a bad feeling.
"Why do I feel like the song Old Han gave us isn't some serious good song?"
"I don't know. Let's listen to Harry."
"What? Gongs and drums on stage? Sing an opera?"
This song had never been rehearsed, and Han Zhou didn't have time to make the accompaniment.
I just wrote a Russian lullaby a few days ago, and my schedule has been full these days.
I only slept for three hours yesterday, so how could I have the time to compose the accompaniment?
Therefore, Han Zhou gave the written song to Wang Xiya and asked Wang Xiya to contact the roadshow organizer in Shudu to find musicians.
Fortunately, the score is simple and musicians are easy to find.
This song is the Sichuan dialect version of "Thank You for Your Love", also called "Bao Liu Jifen" ("Keep a Few Points").
In his previous life, in the early 1990s, King Liu wrote this song.
This song was very popular at the time and it can be said that it has lasted for a long time.
Around 2003 to 2005, many bar singers in the former Shudu changed the song into a Sichuan dialect version, singing one line at a time.
To be precise , it’s the Sichuan Opera version!
Later, it was performed for the first time by a Bashu comedian on Yuzhou City Satellite TV.
Time flies and we have entered the Internet age.
This song quickly became a legend.
Ever since the barrage network form from the Land of Sakura came to China, two barrage networks, AB, were born.
"Exploding Liu Jifen" is the only treasure of Station A that has survived from ancient times.
Played over 160 million times.
Because Station A stipulates that the number of barrages cannot exceed a certain number, this video has had the barrage cleared countless times.
This video is also the only one on the entire Internet that has had its entire screen covered by barrage.
This song is also one of the most famous ghost songs.
The original meaning of "guichu" is to use music for secondary creation to achieve a certain artistic expression (most of the time it is a spoof). After it spread to China, everyone was surprised to find that
This thing was done many years ago and it didn't come from the Land of Sakura at all.
Until the end of 2018, when "The King of Poetry Recitation" came out of nowhere, all the ghost videos were unable to ascend to the throne of the number one ghost video.
This is because in ancient times, there was an offline ghost animal "Exploding Liu Jifen" sitting in this field.
After returning to Shudu, Han Zhou thought about many songs.
I've thought about "chengdu".
Later I decided to sing this song.
This song is considered by many to be the only song that may surpass the original after being re-created.
Because of the Sichuan opera version, with the addition of dramatic elements, the sadness and desolation of the song has an added layer.
This song has received over 10,000 comments on NetEase Cloud Music, making it slightly better than the original version. I wonder if this is intentional on the part of the fans.
Of course, in the eyes of most fans of the original version, the fact that the re-creation version is better is worth discussing.
But no matter what, its popularity is real.
Many fans also responded that it was funny when they first listened to it, they forgot the original version when they listened to it again, and "tears started to fall" when they listened to it the third time.
Many people said, "Liu Tianwang wanted to hit someone after hearing this." In fact, after listening to the song, Liu Tianwang, the creator and singer of "Thank You for Your Love," went to Sichuan Province and learned Sichuan opera from a Sichuan opera master. That master was the actor who played Yu Canghai in the CCTV version of "Swordsman."
It can also be considered a kind of... bad fate.
There are also two versions of the soundtrack for the song "Explode Liu Jifen".
One is the original accompaniment of "Thank You for Your Love".
The other is the unique accompaniment of the Sichuan Opera version.
Because the original accompaniment has not been made yet, we can only use the Sichuan opera version of the accompaniment, and it has to be performed live.
When the gong sounded, the audience had an illusion for a moment.
I thought I had left the cinema and arrived at a small theater.
"Do not ask me
How many people have you loved in your life?
You don't understand how deeply I'm hurt~ (How deeply I'm hurt!)
To open the wound is always dark and cruel
I advise you not to be that god-like person.
Let’s keep some of our affections to ourselves for now~ (Exploding Liu Jifen)!”
Many audience members were stunned.
This singing style, Sichuan dialect version of the song, has the tonality of a popular song.
Why is it so magical?
In particular, the harmonies of "How deep is the wound" and "How much is left" were sung by specially invited Sichuan opera high-pitched actors.
The shocking and crisp sound, coupled with the weird tonality, is both pleasant and magical!
If you are not a fan of Han Zhou, how can you experience this kind of feeling?
After the audience realized what was happening, they went crazy.
“I don’t like loneliness
But I'm afraid of being with each other
This is clearly a pain (oh yeah, it's so painful)
I am most silent when there are many people around, and my smile is lonely.
In this world of mortals, find a lover to love me
When I avoided your tenderness, tears began to fall~"
Oh my, it hurts.
Oh my, it hurts!
You ask the audience if the song is good? I don't know. You ask Han Zhou if he sings well? I don't know.
All they know is 'Oh my god, it hurts!'
"Don't say, don't think, don't
I thank you for your love
I have to exist
Like a speck of dust
It will still bring you harm~"
The original version is 'I don't want to say it, I don't want to, and I shouldn't. Thank you again for your love'.
It was once very popular all over the country and lasted for a long time.
And this song, once listened to, will make you forget the tune of the original singer.
Of course, the audience had not heard the Mandarin version yet, but after hearing this, they had no idea what the Mandarin version would sound like.
But when we sang to this point, everyone felt that this song was great!
"Don't say, don't think, don't
I thank you for your love
I have to exist
In your future
I’m most afraid that this will bring you eternal harm~”
The original soundtrack was not used, so this Sichuan dialect version of "Exploding Liu Jifen" is only one minute and forty seconds long.
But these one hundred seconds allowed the young people present to experience a reshaping of their worldview.
"How deep is the wound!"
"Explode Liu Jifen!"
"Oh my, that hurts!"
Wearing a mask of pain on her face, she stopped a group of men and tortured the woman.
After Han Zhou finished singing, he bowed and saluted.
There was loud applause at the scene.
Shudu fans were very considerate. Although they didn't sing a proper love song, how long will we have to wait to hear Han Zhou sing a Sichuan dialect song again?
I bought this movie ticket today, isn’t it a good deal?
The local ghost animal master, mingling among the fans, opened the Penguin group and said: "Brothers, it's time to do some work!"
Everyone: “???”
He: “That man…has released a new song!”
Till now, "The Song of Psychopath" is still the most popular song in the ghost animal section. I heard that Han Zhou has released a new song, and the ghost animal UP hosts were shocked!
