Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan then gave Urshan the script he had written - "Waiting Alone".

This movie is written and directed by Taiwanese director Wu Shixian, and it is known as the best romance movie in the mainland.

Xiang Nan had seen it before and was very impressed, so he wanted to shoot it.

For one, it's cheap. There are no big scenes in the film, and many of them are indoor scenes. It is estimated that the filming can be completed with an investment of two million;

Second, its subject matter is also very suitable for young people. An urban romantic comedy that is as romantic as it is stylish. Unlike Zhang Yimou's rusticity, and Feng Xiaogang's poverty, he will definitely be popular.

After reading the script, to be honest, Wu Ershi was immediately shocked by Xiang Nan.

"Junior Brother, I'm really falling for you." He said to Xiang Nan with a look of surprise.

"Don't rush to praise me first. Read the script first, can it be used?" Xiang Nan laughed.

"It can be used, of course it can be used." Urshi nodded, "To be honest, I haven't seen such a fresh and smooth script for a long time."

Although the mainland has been reforming and opening up for many years, the handling of romance films is still very rough. It's either extreme love, such as "Suzhou Creek", or extreme desire. In short, the filming is not the love story of ordinary people.

But Xiang Nan's "Waiting Alone" is very unique, fresh, natural, smooth, not exaggerated, not pretentious, not vain. He thinks it is the best, reflecting the love story of urban youth.

"That's it." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "You direct and I'll star in the film. Let's hurry up and make it available during the Spring Festival."

Ursu ​​nodded.

...

Xiang Nan then registered Zhiqing Films and invested 3 million RMB, which was specially used for the filming of "Waiting Alone".

If it makes money, the company will continue to operate. If it loses money, it is only the company that loses, and no more will be involved.

After that, he began to report for "Waiting Alone", waiting for the review to pass.

While waiting for the review, he and Ning Hao took the time to shoot the MV of "Exclusive Angel".

To be honest, Che Yun is really a great beauty. Especially the temperament, noble and generous, dignified and elegant, more comfortable than watching it on TV.

In the process of filming the MV, Xiang Nan also focused on Ning Hao's ability.

I found that his skills are really good, and he has his own uniqueness in picture, lighting, scenery, performance and other aspects. Especially in terms of mise-en-scène, it is a must.

When filming the MV, there were about 30 staff members from all walks of life on site. Being accused by him of making mistakes but not chaos, orderly, I have to say, this is already a great skill.

For an incompetent director, three or five people can't figure it out.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was very satisfied with Ning Hao, and agreed to work together in the future.

...

A week later, the completed "Exclusive Angel" MV officially appeared on the TV station.

Xiang Nan also started to promote this album, such as Enlight Media's "Music Billboard", Mango Channel's "Happy Camp", Hujiang Channel's "Entertainment Star World" and so on.

In fact, before, selling records was much easier than this. After the MV is released, release some news to the paper media, then the publicity is almost done.

But now, the record market is not in a good mood, and sales are shrinking year by year.

Due to the promotion of the Internet, the cost of Bandits is getting lower and lower. Now in the Chinese-speaking circle, it is extremely rare for the sales volume of records to be maintained at one million.

Under normal circumstances, if the record sales can reach more than 500,000 copies, it is already considered a hot singer.

Therefore, even a superstar like Xiang Nan, in order to sell his records, must do a good job of publicity. All signings, face-to-face meetings, and online interviews have to be done.

Xiang Nan ran publicity for almost a month, from south to north, from east to west, and ran to about 30 places.

During the publicity period, the MV of "Dongfeng Po" was also officially released.

Because this MV uses some special effects, it is a little more difficult to make and takes a little longer. Although it was shot first, it was released later.

However, after its launch, the publicity effect was excellent.

One of the pictures in this MV is extremely beautiful, Xiang Nan and Huang Shengyi, the handsome male and the pure female are all as beautiful as flowers.

The second is that this song is mellow, poignant, and full of oriental charm. Not only is the song good, but the lyrics are better, and it also makes the audience feel refreshed.

With the release of the two MVs and Xiang Nan's hard-working promotion, the album "Exclusive Angel" finally achieved good sales.

The order quantity of all distributors is basically maintained at around one million. That's pretty good.

...

"Yuan Shuai, you have experienced it for yourself now. It's really hard to sell records now." Song Bing smiled and said to Xiang Nan, "This spring, the single "Sad Swing" we released for Jin Haixin ", the sales volume is less than 100,000 copies. Even the production fee has not been recovered."

"I understand." Xiang Nan nodded, "Riding bandits is too rampant now. In the past, banditry still required costs, CDs, tapes, recorders all cost money.

Now it is a network bandit, and the cost is almost zero. Once uploaded, the whole world can hear it. This is because the Internet has not been popularized. Just wait, when the Internet penetrates into the third- and fourth-tier cities, and even the towns and villages, it will be a nightmare for the recording industry. "

If he remembered correctly, around the 1900s, when singers released albums, they rarely released physical albums. Most are digital albums.

"So in the future the record company will make money, I think it will have to do performances. I don't believe that you can listen to the bandits on your album, but you can also watch the bandits as a celebrity." Song Bing said with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded.

Song Bing was right. In the future, singers will make money by running commercial performances.

The first and second tiers of big-name celebrities, the third- and fourth-tier tiers of small-name celebrities, low-end bars, karaoke bars, nightclubs, bathing centers...

Don't think it looks miserable, but in fact, you can earn tens of thousands of dollars a night singing, which is still much more than ordinary people.

Of course, after the fans become economical, they can also cut the vermicelli leeks. In addition, in another year, mobile ringtones will be born. A small CRBT, but the market has reached more than 10 billion. This is also a big money making point.

"So, Yuan Shuai, let's hold another concert." Song Bingtu said poorly.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, I'm fine. You can talk to my agent about the schedule."

Song Bing smiled, he just liked Xiang Nan, he was straightforward and decisive in doing things, and never procrastinated. Cooperate with him, comfortable!

...

In July, the script review of "Waiting Alone" finally passed, and the film officially entered the stage of preparation.

In the past few days, Xiang Nan has negotiated with Urshan about the candidates for the leading roles. The heroine will be Gao Yuanyuan, with fair skin and beautiful appearance; the second female lead will be Tang Wei, who looks ordinary but looks stunning in her outfit.

One is his own woman, and the other is an artist under his banner. It is the first time to invest in filming, so it is not easy to take advantage of others.

For a group of bad friends, Sun Honglei, Zhou Le, Li Bo, Cheng Bin, Lu Yi and others were invited to star in friendship. In addition, Xiang Nan will invite Na Jie, Wang Fei, Leslie Cheung, Wang Gang and others to make guest appearances.

In mid-July, the filming officially started.

Thanks to book friends baykalpan and Mo Xueyiyun for their rewards~
