Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 571 Visiting the patient
Two days later, Zhang Yuan landed with the Liu family's mother and daughter and set out from the basement of Pudong International Airport and rushed to the Shanghai No. 9 People's Hospital.

"Zhang Yuan, would you like some oranges?" In the car, Liu Xiaoli took out two oranges from her Chanel bag worth tens of thousands of yuan and handed one to her daughter.

The so-called luxury bags are indeed precious to ordinary people.

But for rich people like the Liu family's mother and daughter, it is really just a grocery store.

"Thank you." Zhang Yuan took it and started peeling it.

Liu Xiaoli's attitude towards him was very kind, and she was obviously closer to him than before.

The reason for this change...is actually very simple.

The tangible benefits that Zhang Yuan brought to her daughter.

I have been preparing for half a year.

After a lot of vocal training and Japanese training, Liu Qianqian recently released her own music album of the same name.

"Here, my record, a collector's edition. You must listen to it carefully and keep it well." Liu Qianqian took out a hard-shell CD from her backpack. It was obviously worth a lot of money.

"Okay, I'll write you a review of what I've heard."

"Hey hey hey..."

It was the one he was holding in his hand.

She will later release a Japanese album in the island country.

The songs are all the same, the only difference is that they are translated from Japanese to Chinese, and vice versa.

Once the album is released, it has to start charting.

With the support of Sony Music and the Godfather, Liu Xixi will definitely spend money to make it to the charts.

This is all normal operation.

From radio and television exposure, to offline physical CD sales, and then to online downloads.

Although piracy was rampant on the Internet in those days, there were still many people willing to spend money.

But it cannot be compared with the hundreds of millions of downloads that can be achieved by buying charts in later generations.

At this point, a million downloads is enough to top the charts.

The purpose of spending money to get on the charts is to gain fame and exposure, because for an artist, fame means worth.

If the net worth can be raised, then the initial investment in ranking can be easily recovered.

In the past 2000s, it was very common for actors who were good at acting to sing, and a large number of actors did so.

And thanks to the popularity of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Liu Xixi's album and title song "Palpitations" rushed to the top of the charts.

Although after a long period of training, Sissi has come to her senses and realized that she may not be suitable for a career in music.

But she is not yet twenty years old, and is full of energy and ambition.

To her, these careers are more like gaming achievements. Regardless of whether they are suitable or not, they are achieved just to prove herself.

Besides, she has the ability and conditions to try and make mistakes. For her, acting career is not just about money.

That's why she always makes seemingly confusing choices.

With massive publicity and the popularity accumulated in the early stage, the sales of her album of the same name did top the sales charts.

It achieved platinum sales of over 100,000 copies in just one week.

By the way, the standards for the word "platinum" in platinum records vary greatly around the world!

There are 3 tickets for Taiwan and the mainland, 5 tickets for Hong Kong, and 100 million tickets for the United States.

There are differences between platinum and platinum, just like there are differences between men, and there are differences between Sima Qian and Lao Ai.

Liu Qianqian’s platinum standard must be based on the mainland’s, so it has been achieved long ago.

Her songs and music videos were also heard on radio and television stations.

Zhang Yuan quite likes her singing and dancing outfits, which are a bit similar to the little devil style from the island country.

Sooner or later, I will let her dance for me alone...

In theory, her musical dream was fulfilled very well.

It's time for her to let go, use the popularity gained from releasing the album, and honestly return to her acting career.

But at this time she found that her album and title song had been pushed to second place in terms of online downloads.

I just released the song and spent so much effort on promoting it, shouldn’t it be at the top of the list temporarily?
Even if you only reach the summit for a week or two, it's still an achievement of some magnitude that can be written on your resume.

Who?
Who is so powerful that he blocks my way to the summit?

Liu Qianqian was just curious.

And Sony Music and her godfather are a little angry.

Who is messing with us?
The song that ranked first in online downloads...

Liu Qianqian: "Don't Look at Me as Just a Sheep".

Sony Music was stunned.

I found a producer from Taiwan, an island country, and he put so much effort into making this album, but it’s not as good as a nursery rhyme?
Liu Qianqian narrowed her eyes in joy.

“I’m so awesome!”

I am actually at the top of the list!
This girl does have a conscience, remembering that this was the job assigned to her by Zhang Yuan.

"We are really awesome!"

As a mother, Liu Xiaoli thinks more deeply.

Now the number of downloads of the theme song of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has exceeded 100 million.

The record for the highest number of online downloads this year was set by Jane Zhang, who had just joined Huayi, with an EP album of three songs released at the beginning of the year.

20 in three days, and more than 180 million times so far.

According to the current trend, Xixi's songs may even beat Zhang Liangying to become the annual champion in online downloads!
Liu Xiaoli didn't expect that the album that Boss Chen had made with so much effort, such as contacting everywhere and uniting people, and Xixi even going overseas to practice, would be easily defeated by a children's song provided by Zhang Yuan...

In fact, when it comes down to it, the animation is just too popular.

The theme song also became popular.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiaoli felt that it didn’t matter whether it was her daughter singing or not. What was important was the extension of the popularity it gained as a companion product to the animation.

This song is the type that becomes popular whenever anyone sings it.

After releasing an album recently, a lot of businesses have come to us.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony at the shopping mall, the opening of a real estate project, the warm-up of the bar...all these businesses came to the Liu mother and daughter.

Liu Xixi was even invited to sing at the New Year's Eve parties of some TV stations and websites.

Xixi will not go for ordinary business trips. Apart from activities for brand endorsements, she generally does not take business trips that are purely for money.

That's just her personality. She would rather be lazy at home.

If she had the same business vigour as Fan Bingbing, her annual income would at least triple to quintuple.

The agent will take over here.

After Liu Qianqian found out, she happily started practicing singing.

Not long after, her agent came back and interrupted her while she was practicing the album's theme song "Palpitations".

"Stop, stop..."

What is "Palpitations"?

None of those evening parties asked her to sing this.

What about "Palpitation" and "Infarction"? No one listens to them.

People are clamoring to listen to "Pleasant Goat"...

The highest-profile business invitation even offered a high price of one million for a song.

This is already the commercial performance price for top-tier singers.

Although he may not necessarily go, he has greatly helped to raise his daughter's status.

Liu Xiaoli recalled that Zhang Yuan had proposed a 50-50 split of the song revenue.

If he bought out the copyright, he would definitely make more money.

And now, it is obvious that my daughter has gained more benefits.

He wouldn't be here to give the bride price... Liu Xiaoli thought.

“Are your oranges sweet?”

She looked behind her at her daughter, who clearly had an orange in her hand but still stretched out her paw to take the orange from Zhang Yuan and eat it.

Don’t worry about the dowry or not. For a daughter like this, you’d have to be lucky if she doesn’t give you money.

But Zhang Yuan suspected that this girl was just too lazy to peel the hair and was stealing the hair he had peeled.

Because of the popularity of this song, it will definitely bring Liu Xixi a lot of benefits in terms of money, fame, etc.

That's why Liu Xiaoli's attitude towards Zhang Yuan is now better than before.

And now that her daughter needed help, she agreed without hesitation on her daughter's behalf and rushed to the Magic City together.

Soon after, we arrived at the hospital.

"Uncle Guoli." Zhang Yuan greeted Zhang Guoli outside the ward.

"Mr. Cai, Director Li."

He also exchanged greetings with Tangren's two shareholders, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli.

Li Guoli's face was full of helplessness and speechlessness.

The shares given to Zhang Yuan were shared by him and Cai Yinong.

When Boss Cai suggested that Zhang Yuan should invest in the company, Li Guoli clapped his hands.

"I told you before, he is not an ordinary actor."

"Very ambitious!"

"Sooner or later, he will climb over our heads."

I have to say that Li Guoli is indeed a veteran.

Really good at judging people!

But Boss Cai also explained.

They really don't have a better solution now.

Apart from accepting Zhang Yuan's investment, he had no choice but to borrow money from everywhere.

The result is likely to be the cession of company shares. Instead of giving shares to strangers, it is better to give them to Zhang Yuan, an old friend.

Besides, they still have Liu Shishi and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" as their two trump cards.

What he asked for was not too much, and he did not intend to drive us away or take control of the company.

Li Guoli had no choice but to accept it.

But he was also careful when signing the contract.

Not only do shares have to be transferred according to the progress of payment, but there are also clauses on the progress of services.

This includes the copyright and TV series sales issues that Zhang Yuan promised.

Now that Hu Ge is seriously injured, it is still unknown whether he can recover and return to the film industry.

Therefore, no TV station was willing to lend a helping hand.

Zhang Yuan said he could do it, but Director Li was skeptical.

"You go in first, the media will be here soon..." Zhang Yuan and Uncle Guoli arranged.

About an hour later, the hospital corridors were crowded with invited media.

The news that Hu Ge had been in a car accident had already spread throughout China.

But in order to allow him to recover, Boss Cai has always refused media interviews and visits.

Now that we have received the invitation, everyone runs faster than rabbits!
According to the plan, Zhang Guoli entered the ward first.

After careful selection, only the fourteen largest print media and television stations were allowed to enter the ward, while the rest could only watch in the corridor.

Click, click, click, click...

Zhang Guoli tightly held Hu Ge's hand on the hospital bed.

“You are an actor with great potential.”

“I very much look forward to working with you again.”

"I'm waiting for you to recover..."

After expressing his concern, Uncle Guoli came to the corridor to be interviewed.

What he said was naturally the content praising Hu Ge.

"There are multiple reasons why the movie didn't do well at the box office."

"But I think Hugo's performance in it is impeccable."

He also took all the responsibility for the film's poor box office performance on himself.

As a veteran in the entertainment industry and a director with whom he had just collaborated.

Zhang Guoli's recognition proves Hu Ge's work ability.

Next, it was Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian's turn to perform.

After entering the ward, they squatted on Hu Ge's left and right.

"Today, we are here to visit our Uncle Guo as Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu."

Zhang Yuan started with a joke.

He asked Liu Xixi to come along because they had worked together before on "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

And they are the most popular Long Yang CP now.

The Guo Jing played by Hu Ge happens to be related to the characters of both of them.

The bearded man has rubbed me so many times, I'm going to rub you too today!

At the same time, he did this to verify the "legitimacy" of Hu Ge playing Guo Jing.

After the two of them said some words of comfort, Zhang Yuan took out the calligraphy he had asked Mr. Jin to write from the painting tube he carried with him.

"Mr. Jin Yong, the author of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, summoned me to meet him a few days ago."

"The old man is too old to travel far."

"But I specially wrote a piece of calligraphy with my own hands to express my condolences."

After that, he unfolded his handwritten calligraphy that read "Wishing Mr. Hu Ge a speedy recovery" in front of the media.

Click, click, click...the shutter sounds continued.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu’s certification is not enough, but Mr. Jin’s personal certification should be enough.

Although he did not personally admit that he was Guo Jing, seeing the letter was like seeing the person. To outsiders, Mr. Jin's letter arrived, which was considered recognition of Hu Ge.

Hu Ge had never expected that Mr. Jin would send him a calligraphy piece, and he was shaking with excitement.

After all, the highest recognition that every actor in a Jin Yong drama can get is Mr. Jin’s personal stamp.

"I hope you get well soon. Mr. Jin Yong is also looking forward to seeing how you will portray Guo Jing." Zhang Yuan lied in front of the media.

Anyway, Mr. Jin won’t refute me, so what I say is what it is.

His words further confirmed that Hu Ge had won Jin Yong's recognition.

"Hugo is my hero. I believe he will recover and return to the audience."

Liu Qianqian also accurately said the words that Zhang Yuan had agreed with her in the car.

After they finished, they also came to the corridor to accept some brief interviews.

The CP of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu was very popular, and the media surrounded them and asked them a lot of questions.

But soon, the media reporters' attention was attracted by another bigger movement.

"Let's go!"

"Come on!"

"downstairs!"

This is the third step arranged by Zhang Yuan.

He winked at Liu Qianqian, led her to the window and looked out.

I saw a crowd of people on the open space downstairs of the hospital's inpatient department.

There were not only people, but also banners.

In addition to the crew members of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the crowd also included...

Yuan Hong who plays Yang Kang.

Lin Yichen who plays Huang Rong.

Liu Shishi who plays Mu Nianci.

Huang Qiusheng who plays Huang Yaoshi.

Xu Jingjiang who plays Ouyang Feng.

Duan Zhixing, Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong, Ouyang Ke, Hua Zheng, Mei Chaofeng, Bao Xiruo...

All the main actors of the crew gathered together.

These people were all invited by Zhang Yuan.

Many of them were paid appearance fees.

These people held up banners and spoke in unison.

"Hugo, we'll wait for you to come back!"

It was also written in large letters on the big red banner.

[All the crew members of The Legend of the Condor Heroes hope that Hu Ge will recover soon and return to the crew. We are all waiting for you to come back! ]

Seeing this, the media reporters took photos frantically and interviewed everyone one by one.

Some reporters were still grumbling.

"How come the celebrity lineup for this patient visit is more high-end than that for the evening party?"

Hu Ge, who was in the ward, was so moved that he burst into tears when he heard the slogans of his colleagues outside the window.

This scene was naturally recorded in full by the reporters who stayed behind.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

He just wants to create this fairy tale of never giving up in the entertainment industry!
The purpose of all this today is to tell everyone one thing.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will continue to be filmed.

Not only will the filming continue, but the seriously injured Hu Ge will continue to be used to play Guo Jing.

He recuperates for one day, and we wait for one day.

Not only the crew members were waiting.

The actors in the crew are waiting.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu are waiting.

The directors he had worked with were waiting.

Even the original author Mr. Jin Yong is waiting.

He just wanted to turn Hu Ge's car accident, a bad thing, into a good thing and push this TV series, which had to be suspended, to its peak popularity.

Li Guoli, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw this scene.

Can visiting a patient be so fancy?

Cai Yinong grinned.

This is fine.

When everyone is united, things will be easier.

Boss Cai looked at Zhang Yuan and thought to himself, it has to be him!
One of the simplest and most effective ways to create a hot event is to use slogans.

Just like those shocking slogans in the headlines.

The slogan that Zhang Yuan customized for the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is "Hu Ge, we're waiting for you to come back."

As he expected, this sentence appeared on the evening news of major TV stations that night.

The next morning, it made the front-page headlines of major print media.

These editors find it too convenient.

You don’t even need to think about the title, it’s already been chosen, just use it directly.

In the era of the rapid rise of the Internet, this news spreads as fast as oil boiling over a raging fire...
