1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 166 Invest in a new drama, and the new album creates another sales myth!
In life, Dong Jie is a relatively slow girl, but in front of Jiang Xiaofeng, she is quite enthusiastic and lively.

On the set of the MV shooting of the song "East Wind Breaks", every time she saw Jiang Xiaofeng was free, Dong Jie would go up and strike up a conversation with Jiang Xiaofeng.

Jiang Xiaofeng was already used to this, and didn't feel much about it. Instead, he found it dull and meaningless.

Because human nature is like this, things that are too easy to get are often not cherished.

If a woman is too easy to get, Jiang Xiaofeng will feel very boring and have no sense of accomplishment.

Just like you play a game, if you always win and never lose, it will become like a stand-alone game and become boring.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's view, the harder it is to get a woman, the more excited and stimulating he will be, and the more he will have the urge to conquer and pursue.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xiaofeng likes Tianhou and Aunt Liu very much. There is no other reason, but because it is more difficult, he will never forget it.

May 3st, morning.

Under Taohong's recommendation, Jiang Xiaofeng had a meal at Yanjing Hotel with Fan Xiaotian, the producer of "Bright Spring Pig Bajie".

Like Jiang Xiaofeng, Fan Xiaotian is also a cross-border film and television person, a writer and screenwriter. In the past two years, he joined the film and television industry following the trend of Wang Shuo and began to invest in and produce TV dramas.

The movie "Bright Spring Pig Bajie" is the movie that Fan Xiaotian has invested the most since he became the producer. Because of fear of failure and insufficient funds, he had no choice but to ask Jiang Xiaofeng to invest.

In order to be able to get the investment from Jiang Xiaofeng, Fan Xiaotian also lowered his posture. He was more than 20 years older than Jiang Xiaofeng, but he still called "Jiang Dong" one after another. He said a lot of compliments and praised how high the drama "Bright Spring Pig Bajie" is.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng was more realistic and didn't like braggarts, he would think it was fake, but Jiang Xiaofeng was very measured when facing a colleague who was able to bend and stretch, and didn't deliberately flirt with him.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaofeng himself wanted to invest in the drama "Bright Spring Pig Bajie", even if Fan Xiaotian didn't flatter himself, he would still invest in this drama.

After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Xiaofeng stopped beating around the bush and asked Fan Xiaotian directly: "Mr. Fan, how much is your total investment for this play?"

When Fan Xiaotian heard that there was a play, he hurriedly replied: "Director Jiang, that's right. Our play, because it is a costume drama, requires computer special effects, and the investment will be much larger than ordinary costume dramas..."

Before Fan Xiaotian finished speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng interrupted: "Just tell me how much it is, I understand."

It was rare for Jiang Xiaofeng to be so forthright. Fan Xiaotian nodded and said bluntly: "According to our preliminary calculations, the filming and production of this drama will cost about 1300 million yuan."

Jiang Xiaofeng paused for a moment, and then asked: "How much money are you still short of now, and how big a funding gap is there?"

Fan Xiaotian immediately replied: "Five million more are needed."

Jiang Xiaofeng felt that the opportunity outweighed the risk, so he said straightforwardly, "Okay, I voted for the 500 million."

"However, before the filming of this film starts, I will send my crew to participate in the production of this film..."

Fan Xiaotian understood what Jiang Xiaofeng did, and also knew that Jiang Xiaofeng's so-called producer was to monitor him.

In fact, this is also a very normal thing. Since it is a cooperative business, Jiang Xiaofeng also invested 500 million. I definitely hope that this money can be implemented, and I don't want it to be pocketed by others.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng was willing to invest and was so forthright, Fan Xiaotian didn't hesitate, and said straightforwardly: "No problem, I will do as you wish, and we will work together to create brilliance!"

Reaching a consensus with Jiang Xiaofeng, Fan Xiaotian stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, I hope we have a happy cooperation!"

Jiang Xiaofeng also stretched out his hand, and replied with a smile: "Good Mr. Fan, I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"

May 3st, morning.

Jiang Xiaofeng's 9th album "Beyond" was officially released simultaneously in Taiwan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and other Asian countries.

Jiang Xiaofeng, who has not released a Mandarin record for more than a year, this time with the new album "Beyond", once again triggered a "crash for buying" in the Chinese music scene.

The record company also attaches great importance to this album, not only in the whole country, but also in the whole of Asia. It is hoped that Jiang Xiaofeng's music can be pushed to a new peak, and the sales volume can also achieve another success.

Only one week after its release, Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Beyond" sold 30 copies in mainland China, 4 copies in Xiangjiang, and 15 copies in Taiwan Province, crushing all the same period again.

Counting the sales data in Asian countries such as Malaysia and Singapore, the total sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Beyond" exceeded 70 copies in just one week of its release, creating another sales legend for Chinese-language albums.

Obviously, without any surprises, it is only a matter of time before the total sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Beyond" breaks through 100 million copies.

As for whether it can win the sales myth of a record selling 600 million copies again in the increasingly depressed record market, it remains to be verified.

In other words, in the past two years, in the Xiangjiang music scene, and even in the entire Chinese music scene, there has been a saying "produced by the King of Songs, it must be a boutique". From this evaluation, we can see that Jiang Xiaofeng's works are of high quality.

It is also because each of Jiang Xiaofeng's albums is maintained at a high level, and at least one or two hits are hits, which also leads to the audience's requirements for Jiang Xiaofeng's new album being much higher than other singers' new albums.

Every time Jiang Xiaofeng releases a new album, even if he is not a fan of Jiang Xiaofeng, he will try to listen to a few songs with anticipation and curiosity.

With the huge sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Beyond" album, more and more people questioned Jiang Xiaofeng.

Because the style of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Beyond" album was very different from Jiang Xiaofeng's previous albums, the controversy it caused was naturally much more than before.

There is one thing to say, Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Transcendence" is more diversified in music content than before, and it also brings many new surprises to fans.

For example, "East Wind Breaks", "Sun and Moon in the Heart", "Darwin", and "Nunchucks", songs with different styles and novel contents seem to be preferred by fans and the media, especially "Nunchucks", which is hard and soft Bingji's brave rock and super fast version of Rap song can be said to be a very big subversion.

It is also the song "Nunchaku", which caused the biggest controversy because of its unique style and popularity.

"What rubbish? Nunchucks can also be called songs?"

"I think it's quite touching. If you think it's rubbish, maybe you are rubbish yourself,"

"Jiang Xiaofeng's record has regressed too obviously. It really feels like Jiang Xiaofeng has exhausted his talent."

"Jiang Xiaofeng's "Nunchaku" is so fucking bad, it's like a monk chanting scriptures!"

"You may not know that before Jiang Xiaofeng made his debut, he was a monk in Qianjin, so it's not surprising that he sings like chanting scriptures."

"Nonsense, he's not a monk at all, he's a monk."

"Disappointed, far worse than previous albums."

"You don't know how to appreciate it at all, but anyone who knows something about music knows how awesome this record is!"

"..."

Perhaps because the style of the song "Nunchaku" is too advanced and unique, Jiang Xiaofeng also suffered unprecedented criticism and criticism.

Unlike the almost one-sided feelings before, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Beyond" album is a record with polarized reputation.

To sum it up in one sentence, those who like it like it very much, and those who dislike it hate it very much, but there are also many fans who hold a neutral point of view.

Regarding the mixed evaluation from the outside world, Jiang Xiaofeng did not feel disappointed, but felt more at ease. This shows that his transformation has achieved certain results.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Transcendence" was also shortlisted for the 10th Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards and received multiple nominations.

Including Best Lyricist Award, Best Composer Award, Best Record Producer Award, Best Mandarin Male Singer Award, etc. Jiang Xiaofeng's "Beyond" album has received a total of 6 nominations.

Of course, before that, Jiang Xiaofeng's records had also been nominated for the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards many times, and successively won the Best Newcomer Award, Best Lyricist Award and other awards.

But the only award that Jiang Xiaofeng has never won, and the one he most wants to win, is the Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Male Singer, the so-called "Golden Melody Singer".
