China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Chapter 353 The new Miss Qi

Qi Wei returned to Beijing this time mainly to complete the production of his new album.

Before coming to Hong Kong, Qi Wei completed all the recording work for the new album.

Although Tan Yonglin added an additional song "Old Boy" to the new album, Qi Wei used his time in Hong Kong to complete the production of this song with Tan Yonglin, including the production of the song's MV.

The unfinished work of the new album is the production of MVs for the eleven songs originally planned for the new album.

Among them, the two songs "Chasing Dreams" and "Born to Be Stubborn" are promotional songs written by Qi Wei for the Olympics. The MVs feature famous scenes of athletes who competed in this year's Olympics training hard and winning glory for their country.

This work has started very early, and the MV has already been produced.

For the graduation song "Days on Jingcheng East Road", Qi Wei invited the whole class to sing together.

After all, he studied acting. Qi Wei's Nortel Class 96 left a lot of video records in the past four years of campus life, including the young and funny scenes of everyone during the art exam, as well as participating in auditions and filming of various crews. picture of life.

The MV for this song was edited from these video records. When Qi Wei invited the whole class to the recording studio to record the song, the MV for this song was almost completed at the same time.

Subtracting these three songs, there are still eight MVs to be shot.

The MVs for these eight songs will be filmed in May, because after Qi Wei graduates in June, he will join the crew to film "Swordsman".

Someone helped with the preparation work before the MV shooting. Qi Wei did not need to do everything himself, he only needed to shoot the MV, which saved a lot of time.

It was more than enough to shoot the eight-song MV in just over a month.

Time came to May unknowingly.

While Qi Wei was filming the MV, Lin Xilei came over with a document.

"Boss, this is a document sent to you by Director Li Shaohong. It is about the situation of "Daming Palace Ci"."

Qi Wei took the document and started reading it.

"Daming Palace Ci" was broadcast on CCTV at the end of March. It has been more than a month now, and the 3 episodes of the TV series have already been broadcast.

The average ratings of this drama reached 18%, and the highest ratings exceeded 25%.

There are two episodes with ratings exceeding 25%. One is the episode in which young Taiping meets Xue Shao during the Shangyuan Festival, which is the first time Qi Wei appears.

Another episode is the one where Zhang Yizhi, played by Qi Wei, escapes and brainwashes the young Princess Taiping, played by Chen Hong, and completely defeats her.

Li Shaohong is indeed very capable, and the filming of this episode is so beautiful and erotic.

It's almost a restricted level.

Really attractive.

"Boss, experts have analyzed this drama before. They said that without your participation, the ratings of this drama would not exceed 10%. This drama can be such a success thanks to you." Lin Xilei complimented. road.

Qi Wei glanced at Lin Xilei and said with a smile: "Xiao Lei, why are you like other people, so fond of flattering me?"

"Boss, I'm not flattering you, I'm telling the truth."

This is indeed the case. When "Daming Palace Ci" was aired, "Meteor Garden" had just finished airing. At that time, Qi Wei was at his peak popularity.

"Da Ming Gong Ci" has indeed benefited greatly, and this benefit is by no means as simple as adding more power to a tiger.

After reading the ratings of "Daming Palace Ci", Qi Wei then looked at the revenue of this drama.

"Da Ming Gong Ci" was broadcast on CCTV.

The advantage of being broadcast on CCTV is that the ratings can be guaranteed. The high ratings of "Da Ming Gong Ci" have something to do with the CCTV platform.

The disadvantage is that "the store bullies customers". With CCTV's usual stingy style, it will not pay a high price to purchase the first broadcast rights.

Part of the investment in "Ci of the Ming Dynasty" came from CCTV. With this part and the first broadcast rights, "Ci of the Ming Dynasty" recovered about half of the cost.

The ratings for the first broadcast of "Da Ming Gong Ci" were so successful that the broadcast rights for the second and third rounds were naturally sold at a good price.

Now the broadcasting rights for the second and third rounds have been sold, and the TV series has begun to be rotated on other local TV stations.

But even so, coupled with other income, so far, the drama "Daming Palace Ci" has only just recovered its original cost.

Adding in subsequent revenue in the past few years, the show's profit will not exceed half.

"It's not bad."

Qi Wei nodded. After all, the investment in "Daming Palace Ci" exceeded 2500 million, which was definitely a big investment at this time.

The environment for filming TV dramas these days is much better than filming movies, but there are still not many profitable TV dramas. The higher the investment in TV dramas, the higher the risk. It is not easy for a high-investment TV drama like "Daming Palace Ci" to recover the cost. Not to mention making a profit.

It’s great if you don’t lose money, and if you can make more than half of the profit, it can even be described as an unexpected surprise.

And this is only the mainland's income.

"Director Li Shaohong asked me to ask you whether the distribution rights for this drama in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia have been sold?"

"Reply to Director Li for me. We are negotiating with ATV. Good news should come out soon."

ATV successively purchased one or two episodes of "My Fair Princess" and "Meteor Garden". TVB lost its armor after the ratings exploded. ATV, having tasted the huge benefits, was naturally very interested in "Ci of the Ming Dynasty".

The ratings of "Da Ming Gong Ci" were so successful when it first aired in the Mainland, and ATV was willing to pay a high price to buy this drama.

The transaction price will probably be around 1500 million.

This is a little higher than the price of "Meteor Garden".

Although the ratings of "Meteor Garden" are higher than that of "Da Ming Palace Ci", the investment in "Da Ming Palace Ci" is more than twice that of "Meteor Garden", and the 40 episodes are twice as many as that of "Meteor Garden". times (CCTV deleted three episodes).

The price of TV series is not only based on ratings, but also related to investment and number of episodes.

"Daming Palace Ci" will sell the distribution rights in Taiwan and Southeast Asia through ATV. Although ATV will charge a certain percentage of the fee, the production fee of the TV series will earn at least 1500 million yuan in revenue.

In other words, the drama "Daming Palace Ci" can earn more than 3000 million yuan in overseas revenue.

Qi Wei Company invested 500 million in "Da Ming Gong Ci", accounting for 20% of the shares. Qi Wei Company helped operate the distribution rights in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas, and the proceeds were divided half and half.

The domestic income of "Da Ming Gong Ci" minus the cost will be around 1500 million, and Qi Wei Company will get 20 million in income if it holds 300% of the shares.

As for overseas income of at least 3000 million yuan, Qi Wei Company can get 1500 million yuan in half.

The total profit can be 1800 million!
  Although it can't be described as making a lot of money, it is definitely a big profit.

"Boss, Director Li's company will hold a celebration party for "Daming Palace Ci" this weekend, and she sent you an invitation letter."

"I know, I will be there on time." Qi Wei, who was in a good mood, agreed directly.

Qi Wei knew about this because Chen Hong had called him before.

Director Chen's "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" has started shooting in Hengdian, and Chen Hong has already joined the cast, but she will rush back to attend the celebration party for "Da Ming Palace Ci".

Qi Wei's participation in this celebration party was definitely not for her.

"Qianqian, I really didn't expect that Qi Wei would invite me to shoot the MV. I really feel like this is a dream."

Along the way, Dong Xuan was very excited and chattered non-stop.

No way, who said this is Qi Wei's MV.

The girls who filmed Qi Wei's MV have good prospects for development, such as Gao Yuanyuan. The folk album Qi Wei helped her release directly made her a new folk goddess among countless people. The recently aired "Meteor Garden" even made her even more popular. It spread throughout Southeast Asia. It even attracted the attention of Zhou Xingxing. In a recent interview with the media, Zhou Xingxing said that "Shan Cai" would be the heroine of his new drama.

It's really unbelievable.

There is also Zhang Ziyi. It was because of Qi Wei's MV that she caught the attention of director Zhang Yimou. Later, she and Qi Wei filmed "My Father and Mother". On Zhang Yimou's recommendation, she filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with Zhou Runfa and Michelle Yeoh. ", I heard that she will participate in the new drama "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou.

This is a blockbuster with an investment of over [-] million, which is really incredible.

There is also Zhou Gongzi. Her role as Xiao Taiping in "Ci of Daming Palace" really shines. Dong Xuan likes this drama.

I heard that she recently went to Hong Kong to audition for Cheng Long's new play. The results were very good and she is very likely to be selected.

In other words, she will film with Cheng Long.

This is Cheng Long! This is a big star who earned 2000 million yuan in Hollywood!
  Miss Qi, yes, some media have already called the actress who filmed Qi Wei's MV as Miss Qi.

And she will also become one of the Qi girls.

Really lucky.

Although almost all Qi girls are the targets of Qi Wei's scandals, it is even possible that Qi Wei's relationship with them is indeed extraordinary as the media said.

But Dong Xuan didn't care about this at all, and she even expected something to happen.

Young girls are more concerned about a man's appearance. Qi Wei is so handsome, which is above her aesthetic taste.

What's more, Qi Wei still has the aura of a big star.

Whatever happened, Dong Xuan didn't think it was him who suffered.

"Huanhuan, your face is red again." Wan Qian suddenly reminded.

Huanhuan is Dong Xuan's nickname. After Wan Qian's reminder, Dong Xuan recovered from his random thoughts, held his face in his hands and explained:
  "The more I think about meeting Qi Wei, the more nervous I become."

She looked at Wan Qian and asked, "Aren't you nervous?"

Wan Qian laughed twice. How could she be nervous? After all, she and Qi Wei grew up together, and she had seen Qi Wei bathing with his bare buttocks when she was a child.

It's just that as we grew up, we met less often, especially after Qi Wei went to Nortel, and it was rare to see him once a year.

She missed Qi Wei a little.

"Well, I thought wrong. Why are you nervous? You are his childhood sweetheart." Dong Xuan joked with a smile.

"Childhood sweethearts are no match for someone falling from the sky." Wan Qian said suddenly.

"Huh?" Dong Xuan looked at Wan Qian and asked, "Qianqian, do you think you have fallen in love with him?"

"Ah?" Wan Qian was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "How is it possible? Even if all the men in the world die, I won't like him. It's impossible, absolutely impossible."

In the end, Wan Qian was still emphasizing.

Seeing Wan Qian's guilty look, Dong Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Although she had never experienced love, Dong Xuan could not tell that Wan Qian was duplicity.

"You really don't like him?" Dong Xuan asked again.

"It must be true. He used to like to tease me. I hate him so much. How could I like him?" Wan Qian also nodded.

"That's great. I'm afraid of competing with my best sister for my boyfriend." Dong Xuan patted his chest and pretended to be relieved.

"Huh?" Wan Qian looked at Dong Xuan in shock and asked tentatively: "Huanhuan, do you like him?"

"Yes, he is my idol. I have a crush on him, and I am planning to take advantage of this opportunity to take action."

Hearing what Dong Xuan said, she thought that Dong Xuan had indeed mentioned Qi Wei often before.

Looking at it this way, it seems possible.

No, absolutely not.

Wan Qian hurriedly advised: "Huanhuan, do you know he has a girlfriend?"

"Are you talking about Gao Yuanyuan?"

"Gao Yuanyuan, that's just one of them. Yan Danchen in their class is her girlfriend, and Zhou Xun."

"These women you are talking about are all Miss Qi. Are the scandals about him in the newspapers all true?"

Wan Qian doesn't know if these scandals are true, and she doesn't want them to be true, but now in order to persuade her good friends to return from their lost ways, she can only exaggerate:

"Although not all of them are true, if you pick one of the two, something will definitely slip through the net."

Wan Qian was being conservative when she said that there were only a few fish among the Qi girls who slipped through the net.

Qi Wei has released three solo albums and filmed more than [-] song MVs, with nearly [-] Qi girls.

"Wow, more than ten, he is really romantic." Dong Xuan couldn't help but sigh. After all, Wan Qian was Qi Wei's childhood sweetheart, and they were very familiar with each other. She still believed what Wan Qian said.

"What does it mean to be romantic? This is a scumbag. Don't fall in like them, otherwise you will regret it in the future."

Who hasn’t experienced a scumbag as a girl growing up?

Therefore, Wan Qian's words were not harmful to Dong Xuan.

She asked curiously: "Is there Zhang Ziyi Zhouxun among those women you mentioned?"

"What do you think?" Wan Qian couldn't help rolling her eyes.

That's it.

"I read in the newspaper that Zhang Ziyi will star in "Hero", and that Zhou Xun successfully auditioned for Cheng Long's "The Secret Agent". Are these true?"

"How do I know?" Wan Qian answered stutteringly.

It seems to be true.

"Do you think that if I get along with him, will he help me fight for these resources?"

"Ah?" Wan Qian reacted and suddenly became very angry, "You don't take what I said to heart at all, Huanhuan, when did you become so utilitarian?"

"Utility? When we apply for film school, don't we just want to be famous? I just want to be famous."

Dong Xuan took Wan Qian's arm and continued:

"Of course, if Qi Wei is the person you like, then I won't do anything. Who said we are the best sisters.

You are his childhood sweetheart. This is your advantage that no one else has. If he is willing to help you, wouldn’t it be easy for you to become famous? You can also have resources like Gao Yuanyuan and others
  Do you understand what I mean? "

Hearing this, Wan Qian became even more confused.

My heart is even more ready to move.
