The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 68 Hype
"Zhang Chen is going to cooperate with a Hollywood company to make a movie?"

Han Sanping, who was checking the progress of the filming of "My 1919" crew, asked Chen Daoming who was sitting in front of him to rest.

"From what he said on TV just now, it should still be in the preparation stage, right?" Chen Daoming was not very sure.

"Old Chen, how about you help me contact them and see if there is any chance for China Film Group to participate?"

For Han Sanping, the most important thing is to invest in a successful movie.

China Film Corporation was newly established, and it carries with it a responsibility, one of the most important responsibilities being to lead the vigorous development of the domestic film and television industry.

After "Titanic" was released in mainland China last year, Han Sanping also saw the appeal of Hollywood blockbusters to mainland audiences, as well as the economic benefits brought by blockbusters and the huge potential of the domestic film market.

And now Zhang Chen claims that he wants to participate in the filming of a Hollywood blockbuster, not as an actor but as an investor.

Regardless of whether this film can cause much response in the country, first of all, this is an opportunity for Hollywood to invest in a film, which can allow China Film's influence to reach the international level.

Besides, Han Sanping also knew that China's WTO negotiations were almost complete and it would join the WTO in the next few years. It would be natural for all kinds of domestic goods to be sold overseas. As a pillar product in the entertainment industry, movies would naturally be exported as well.

Whether domestic films want to go overseas or directly invest in foreign films, it will be beneficial to China Film.

So now Zhang Chen's news has given Han Sanping a great opportunity.

"Old Han, don't count on me. I've only met him once. This kid is only at school, and he goes abroad during holidays. It's not easy to see him." Chen Daoming was also helpless.

Although he followed Wang Jinghua to "Morning Light Agency", this company is just a subsidiary of "Morning Light Entertainment" and has a lot of autonomy.

What's more, Zhang Chen is a person who doesn't like to go to the company, so up to now, there are very few artists under Chen Guang Agency who have had face-to-face communication with Zhang Chen.

"Our movie is invested by Morning Light, so they will have to send someone to take a look. If Mr. Sun comes, we can see if we can have a chat."

In later life, Han Sanping had a particularly strong obsession with blockbuster movies, so he had to give this opportunity a try no matter what.

"At such a young age, he wants to get involved in film production? And he wants to cooperate with Hollywood right from the start?"

"The project hasn't even been established yet, it's just a publicity stunt."

"His company has only been established for a few years? He's already thinking about participating in Hollywood movie production?"

As Asia's leading film production region, Hong Kong Island's filmmakers naturally have the most say in film production. Over the years, Hong Kong Island has produced countless classic films.

But so far, no production company has dared to say that it can connect with Hollywood to co-produce a movie.

Therefore, regarding the news accidentally revealed by Zhang Chen, Hong Kong's paper companies, filmmakers and even movie stars all took a wait-and-see attitude.

Zhang Chen had anticipated some of the comments in the country, and he was the one who deliberately leaked the information.

Hype is a science.

Sometimes, if a star hypes up a movie in which he will star, and it becomes a hot topic and is highly recognized by the public, then it is very likely that he will be favored by investors during the casting process.

For investors, the more a project is talked about, the better it is for the film's promotion. Of course, the ones who suffer are the onlookers who are slipped away again and again.

However, Zhang Chen was sure that he could accomplish this task, and he was not using the audience's expectations to coerce the investors.

Zhang Chen has already given the conditions to Warner and also revealed some information to the media. Now it depends on whether Warner makes up its mind faster or other Hollywood studios take action faster.

As the instigator of the incident, Zhang Chen is being harassed by Xiao Liu.

"Brother Chenchen, can we not learn English?" Liu Yifei was still upset about the rules Zhang Chen set for her.

"No." Zhang Chen continued practicing the piano without even raising his head.

The room they were in now was a specially designed music room in the castle. It contained all kinds of musical instruments, from Western orchestral music to Eastern classical music. All commonly used instruments were placed here.

Zhang Chen only knows how to use a small part of them.

Thanks to the goals he set for himself since childhood and the self-control that far exceeds his peers, Zhang Chen is now able to skillfully use a variety of common musical instruments including piano, violin, drum set, guitar, and bass.

Now he came here to produce the theme song for "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li".

When composing music, it is naturally more intuitive to use the piano.

"After I become proficient in it, can you teach me to sing English songs?" Seeing that Zhang Chen was still unwilling to give in, Liu Yifei wanted to ask for a reward for herself.

"Teach you to sing?" Zhang Chen looked Liu Yifei up and down, touched his chin and said, "Don't tell me, I actually have a song that's more suitable for you."

There are quite a few English nursery rhymes, but Zhang Chen’s way of bringing an umbrella is unconventional.

"Let's try your vocal range first, to see if you have made any progress over the years." Zhang Chen placed his hands on the keys, intending to test Liu Yifei's learning results.

"Just give it a try. Let me show you a High C!" Liu Yifei looked proud.

"What's there to be proud of for a girl like you to be in High C?" Zhang Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Next, Zhang Chen started from middle C, which is C4, and asked Liu Yifei to try one by one. The final result was that she could basically sing up to about B5.

C4 is actually the do note in the do, re, mi, fa (1, 2, 3, 4) we have learned. C5 is eight degrees higher than do. In digital representation, it is a dot on "1". Then C6 is eight degrees higher, with two dots on the number "1", which is what we call high C.
"A girl, after studying for so many years, can only get to B5? That's it?" Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei in silence as she looked begging for praise.

"What's wrong? Just tell me if you're good enough to sing your song." Liu Yifei didn't care. She had practiced for so long anyway, and her vocal range was limited to this. In Sun Fangping's words, that was the limit.

In fact, B5 is already a very high note, but some talented female singers can reach C6 or higher. This is why many people envy those who can sing High C.

This is because Liu Yifei is still young and has received training in recent years, otherwise it would be hard to say.

"Well, it seems like you can really sing this song."

　Ladies and gentlemen, this is the third round of recommendations for this book!
　　Next is Sanjiang. Although I know it is unlikely, I still want to try. I originally thought that I had no hope of getting on a tricycle, but didn’t I get on it? Everyone, give me some support. Keep reading these days.
　　Please!
