Chapter 338: Hope in Despair
Beijing Daily Online Report
“The celebrity satisfaction singer list is out!”
"After winning the CCTV-MTV Music Festival Best Female Singer award last month, Tan Jing recently won the second China Performing Arts Celebrity Public Image Satisfaction Singer Award."
"In addition, among the contestants, Zhang Jingying stood out and made it into the top three."
"Others such as He Jie and Zhou Bichang were ranked at the bottom. Li Yuchun, who has always had the most fans and the highest popularity, unexpectedly ranked 552.06th with a score of 106, ranking fifth from the bottom."
"Industry insiders analyzed that if a popular singer who became famous overnight wants to go further, he can only rely on stamina, not popularity alone. The vast majority of industry insiders believe that Zhang Jingying can surpass the other three, which is not surprising at all."
If it weren't for Rongchen Pictures, Huayi would definitely be the most outstanding private enterprise leader in the domestic entertainment industry.
In film and television, there are two great masters, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Da Huzi.
The music industry has Yang Kun, Yu Quan, Super Girl contestant Zhang Jingying, and Shang Wenjie as pillars who dominate the domestic entertainment, film, television, and music industries.
Wang Zhonglei's mood finally improved.
"He, Li Chen, doesn't like the talent show contestants. It doesn't matter. We want them!"
Xu Li disagreed: "Mr. Wang is right, but I guess Director Li must be regretting it now."
"Otherwise there would be no need to organize a popular talent show like The Voice of China."
Wang Zhonglei scoffed at this: "A talent show for the common people? I don't believe it can become a big hit if it doesn't have a target audience!"
Xu Li’s idea is the same as Wang Zhonglei’s. After all, Super Girl, Fast Boy and Good Man all target young people as their main consumers and have a huge fan base.
On the evening of the 4th, many people were paying attention to the performance of "Mei Lanfang's Unethical Performance" which was performed 6 hours in advance.
The husband and wife duo of Dove and Rainbow seemed to have returned to the night of "The Promise" again.
“No, I don’t know if it can surpass The Promise.”
Chen Kaige's words didn't make his point clear, but his wife understood immediately.
Chen Hong covered her husband with a blanket and said, "Don't think too much. Go to sleep. You will know tomorrow morning."
As a result, the couple tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Han Saping also didn't sleep, still waiting for his subordinates to summarize the data.
After all, he shouted the slogan of 300 million.
At two o'clock in the morning, Han Sanping received a call.
"Director Han, the data is out, but it may be because of the cold weather, so, so."
Han Saping's heart sank when he heard his subordinates hesitating.
"How many?"
"625 million!" the man said it with gritted teeth, and then let out a long sigh.
"I understand, thank you."
"It's my duty, Mr. Han."
Han Saping sighed deeply, both for Chen Kaige and for himself.
During the six hours of advance release, "The Promise" earned 1100 million at the box office!
Three hundred million? Can you just pretend I didn’t say that!!!
The next morning, a group from Rongchen Pictures, including two crews, set off for Taiwan.
Yang Siwei sat next to Li Chen.
Yang Siwei's "Love Is Not Blind" premiered in Taiwan during the Golden Horse Awards.
Yang Siwei’s choice of supporting characters in “Love Is Not Blind” is very worldly-wise.
Both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau benefited equally, fully demonstrating Yang Siwei's personal influence and connections.
The couple who made a friendly guest appearance included Ah Sa and Yu Wenle from Hong Kong Island.
The supporting actor Wei Yiran is still the national uncle Wang Yaoqing.
Wei Yiran's girlfriend Li Ke, who speaks with a Taiwanese accent and claims to be from Henan, is also played by Chen Qiaoen, a popular idol who is famous all over Taiwan.
Li Chen rarely praised his general, but Yang Siwei didn't take it seriously at all.
"Boss, I'm not exaggerating, but there are very few artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan that I can't invite."
"This Chen Qiao En is indeed very popular in Taiwan, but her popularity in the mainland is not as high as that of a few second-tier Super Girls. She wants to move to the mainland next year."
"For her, our play is like someone offering her a pillow when she's sleepy."
Li Chen nodded: "That's true."
After listening to Yang Siwei talking about Super Girls, Li Chen also lamented that those Super Girls were indeed very popular.
But in fact, the most talented one is Zhang Jingying, who looks most like a normal person.
Yang Siwei also nodded and said, "Yes, to be honest with you, boss."
"Super Girl will be off air this year, otherwise I would really like to sign one. I'll just be watching Huayi perform a one-man show all day long, and the screen will be filled with Zhang Jingying!"
"Sign a Super Girl?" Li Chen turned his head and asked with a smile.
Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Boss, do you think my idea is good? It's a pity that it's not held this year. All the potential candidates have been taken by others!"
Li Chen held his chin and thought for a moment, and Yang Siwei did not interrupt. After a while, Li Chen said, "You can sign one."
"Who should I sign, boss? You won't ask me to poach people, will you?" Yang Siwei said exaggeratedly.
Li Chen said with a smile: "What are you trying to do? If you want to sign someone, then you should sign someone with potential."
"As for whether you can become famous, that depends on your methods, Yang Siwei."
Yang Siwei went through all the Super Girls in his mind, but couldn't find the person his boss was talking about.
"Who are you talking about, boss?"
Li Chen chuckled: "Who? Sour and sweet is me!"
Yang Siwei chuckled in a very rude way.
But then he immediately realized: "Boss, are you talking about Zhang Hanyun, the third runner-up of the first Super Girl?"
Li Chen nodded with a smile.
Yang Siwei thought about it carefully and said in surprise: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!"
"She does have potential. I heard that the company that signed her, Tianzhong Culture, went bankrupt. It can be considered an amicable breakup."
“This girl is miserable enough.”
While saying this, Yang Siwei stole a glance at Li Chen.
Seeing Li Chen closing his eyes to rest, he thought to himself: Could it be that the boss has taken a fancy to her? This shouldn't be the case!
However, this girl's experience is indeed very similar to Yifei's. She made her debut at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
The debut was the peak! Unfortunately, it encountered a series of negative news and photoshopped pictures to smear.
She doesn't have Yifei's background and ability to withstand pressure, nor does she have a boyfriend like her boss who is like a stabilizing force.
It's like the past two years have disappeared.
Yang Siwei was daydreaming when Li Chen spoke again.
"Now that you're back in Beijing, contact her. Since you want to sign."
"Then we have to repackage her. I will contact Teacher Tian later and send her to Beijing Film Academy for further study for two years."
Yang Siwei couldn't help but be curious: "Boss, why are you so nice to her?"
Li Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Siwei, and he knew that she was thinking wrongly.
"I don't like to add icing on the cake. If I have to do something, I'd rather do it as a helping hand."
"No one signed her, so let's do it."
"No one thought she could become popular again, so we have to do something that others think is impossible."
“This is Rongchen Pictures: making the impossible possible!”
Yang Siwei suddenly had an epiphany and understood everything instantly.
Her boss wants to use this outdated Super Girl to establish a monument for Rongchen Pictures in the domestic entertainment industry.
As for Zhang Hanyun’s past negative news, some of them included being uneducated and unskilled and being kept by someone.
That's entirely because her Zhongtian Culture is incapable.
Her boss used to be Liu Dehua's assistant, so his ceiling won't be too high.
Yang Siwei was confident that if the girl had signed with Rongchen Pictures, she would not be in such a miserable state as she is now.
I heard that he spent all his money to buy a house in Beijing this year, but now he is unemployed again.
I was lucky enough to meet her boss.
In a high-end apartment building in the Second Ring Road of Beijing
The sour and sweet taste at that time was when I stood on the electronic scale on the balcony.
Her weight increased day by day and she became fat. That's me, looking at the three-digit number on the display.
Zhang Hanyun wanted to cry but had no tears. How could she still be in the mood to eat when she was about to lose her job?
The internet is often filled with news about the 05 top three: Jane Zhang, Zhou Bichang, and Li Yuchun.
In Zhang Hanyun's eyes, it was simply a catalyst that turned grief and anger into appetite.
The phone rang, and Zhang Hanyun picked up the phone with a look of despair.
A strange number from Beijing?
"Hello."
Yang Siwei from Taiwan was very efficient. He called Zhang Hanyun in the evening. The girl's voice sounded quite nice.
"Hello, I'm Yang Siwei from Yi Xin Media. Do you want to join Yi Xin Media?" Yang Siwei went straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any sound from the other end.
"Hey, hey, are you listening?"
"Ah, ah, I'm here, I'm listening, hello, hello Mr. Yang."
Yang Siwei felt amused, as if he could imagine the girl opposite him being ecstatic and incoherent.
