Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 88 I want to take back everything I lost!
After the call, Lu Jiang said directly to Zhou Jianhui: "I have made up my mind. Do you want to follow me? If not, I will return the money to you and we can part ways amicably. If you want to follow me, don't talk nonsense. I can promise you that there will be benefits in the future that you can't imagine!"

Zhou Jianhui also has ambitions to reach higher levels.

He has joked more than once that if he could one day produce an international Chinese superstar who would win a Grammy Award, he would die without regrets in his life.

Lu Jiang had never thought about this before.

He even wanted to give up the music industry a long time ago.

Naihezi has been releasing hit songs all the time, and recently he released an excellent English song.

With this song, I may not be able to win the Grammy Awards in the future, but I can definitely look forward to the European and American markets and international singers.

However, whether Zhou Jianhui can catch this wave of wealth depends on his attitude.

In response to this, Zhou Jianhui did not hesitate much and said directly: I’ll follow!

Just kidding, Lu Jiang is Warner’s biggest cash cow and mainstay.

It is not difficult to calculate whether we want the Taiwan market alone or the market outside Taiwan.

The next day, the Golden Melody Awards ceremony was held.

Just like Ling Chen said, Lu Jiang only won the Best Male Singer award, that’s all.

Also, because Lu Jiang did not go to the event, the Golden Melody Awards did not gain any popularity in mainland China.

People related to the Golden Melody Awards have a lot of opinions about Lu Jiang.

But Lu Jiang sneered.

The original Golden Melody Awards relied on the inherent advantage of Hong Kong and Taiwan musicians dominating mainland musicians, and the lack of credibility of mainland awards. The Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Songs circle grew up on its own, making the Golden Melody Awards the most prestigious one in the Chinese music scene.

A high-value award is indeed a great help to singers.

Lu Jiang had originally had this idea in mind. After all, the Taiwanese music scene is the pinnacle of the industry. With the Golden Melody Award, he can save some effort and not be surrounded by enemies like he is now, and he can also make more money.

But now it seems that nothing is worse than relying on yourself.

Now that I have formed an army by myself, the next step is to make some serious trouble.

Two days later, Lu Jiang completed the recording of the song "The Prodigal Son Returns".

Thanks to having a Hokkien teacher always by my side, I have a good reason to write songs and record them.

After recording the song, we started shooting the MV. This version of the MV is the same as the original, except that the protagonist is replaced by Lao Lu.

So to be honest, that was the inspiration Lu Jiang got from Lao Lu.

Real and effective!
Of course, Lu Jiang could also change the lyrics, get straight to the point, and clearly persuade the prodigal son on the other side to turn back.

But Liu Huan and Sister Song said it would be better to be more tactful.

After all, the main tone of this side's attitude towards the other side is still euphemistic.
In this way, there is room for maneuver.

Of course, we will not take a tactful approach in public opinion.

Another week later, the MV was completed and the recording of the new album began.

Lu Jiang continued to film "Meteor Garden".

The time has come quickly to February.

As June approaches, the entertainment industry's attention is focused on this year's Cannes Awards Ceremony.

In the mainland, Jiang Wen was the same as in the original time and space. "The Devils" won the Jury Prize, but Jiang Wen was banned from directing for five years.

In addition to "The Devils", Taiwanese director Edward Yang won the Best Director Award for his film "Yi Yi".

Tony Leung Chiu-wai won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in In the Mood for Love.

Three Chinese-language films shined in Cannes, and the media hailed the new century's Chinese-language films as having had a strong start.

It’s just that not many people care about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon because it was only screened at this year’s film festival. It will not be until after the Oscars next year that it and Li An will be “deified” by the media in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Compared to the popularity of the Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony, the topics derived from the following awards were really explosive.

On June 6, Lu Jiang's "Meteor Garden" was completed after 11 days of filming.

There was some buzz about the completion of filming, but it didn't cause much of a stir.

Because on this day, the celebration party for "In the Mood for Love" was held in Hong Kong.

After the celebration banquet, Wang Fei took Xie Tingfeng’s hand and squeezed out of the crowd of reporters.

This scene was captured by reporters. Wang Fei showed no sign of anger, but was instead smiling sweetly. Xie Tingfeng, wearing a leather jacket that defied fashion trends, blushed shyly as Wang Fei, who was walking in front of them, held their hands. The photo of the two holding hands, one in front and one behind, has been hailed as the "hand-holding of the century."

The next day, "Feng Fei Lian" set the entire entertainment industry on fire.

Celebrity love affairs are always one of the most eye-catching topics in the entertainment industry.

One is a 20-year-old new generation star who is the most popular in Hong Kong.

One is a 31-year-old diva.

The relationship between an older sister and a younger brother with an 11-year age difference has added a lot of buzz to this relationship.

Countless media followed up the report and dug deep into the past, and soon found out that in 94, when he was 14 years old, Xie Tingfeng said that he was a fan of Wang Jingwen.

Many media outlets suddenly realized the truth and said that Xie Tingfeng wanted to sing "Red Bean" on the show last year, and it turned out that they were together at that time.

Many media outlets have been creative and used various reports on the theme of marriage between the mainland and Hong Kong.

In the past, when introducing Wang Fei, most people used Hong Kong singers, but now she has become a daughter-in-law from the mainland, and even the mainland has become her mother's home. Many female fans from the mainland look at him as if he were a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the sense of intimacy has greatly increased.

Such a press release is obviously fueled by someone behind the scenes.

But I have to say, the effect is better than that of the Spring Festival Gala.

Xie Tingfeng's popularity in the mainland skyrocketed in a short period of time, which also filled up all the corners that were previously inaccessible.

Xie Tingfeng's popularity also soared dramatically, and many fans who were unfamiliar with him got to know him and thought he was so "cool".

The advanced personality of "cool" that represents fashion and avant-garde is indeed very popular among mainland fans.

In addition to casual fans, many people also like Xie Tingfeng because they like Wang Fei.

Of course, there are also people who hate Xie Tingfeng, and even hate him more because of Wang Fei.

But due to the extremely high popularity, the growth of fans far exceeds that of black fans.

There seems to be a momentum that seems to have been suppressed too much by Lu Jiang last year, and this year he is determined to make up for his popularity in the mainland and achieve a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

With his popularity soaring, the sales of Xie Tingfeng's old albums also saw a significant increase, and then various songs of Xie Tingfeng once again appeared in the top ten of major music charts.

Taking advantage of this popularity, Xie Tingfeng also took the opportunity to appear on various programs in mainland China, and Xie Tingfeng warmed up for his new album in July in advance.

Theoretically, with such high popularity, Xie Tingfeng will be able to fight a favorable battle of at least level five or six.

Xie Tingfeng said that this was not enough and he wanted to add another code!

Isn’t Lu Jiang’s first song pre-release on June 6th?

Then the pre-release of my new album will also be on June 6th!
The popularity of Lu Jiang’s new drama finishing up last time was severely suppressed by the popularity of our partnership.

This time, Lu Jiang basically has no other trump cards, so he can just take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory.

One of the new album's hit songs, "Because I Love You," is most in line with the current popularity of "Feng Fei Lian."

It's it!
"I just don't believe he can still cheat!"

Xie Tingfeng's lips curled up, which showed 7% confidence and 3% cruelty.

This time, I will take back everything I lost!
The entire team agreed with this.

But the mainland is Lu Jiang's base camp after all, and the release date of Xie Tingfeng's new album is half a month later than Lu Jiang's, in mid-July.

so.
"As far as I know, Lu Jiang still can't go to Taiwan right now, so the best approach is for you to go to Taiwan in late June to warm up the market, stabilize the market, and capture the buzz. After Wang Jie's new album is released in mainland China at the end of June, you can then return to mainland China. Wang Jie will work with you to further tap into Lu Jiang's popularity. By then, sales in Taiwan will surpass Lu Jiang, and the difference in mainland China will be very close, so it's expected that they'll catch up."

The analyst adjusted his glasses.

Everyone applauded
The next chapter is the VIP chapter.

It's going to be on the shelves again. I won't say much. Anyway, old book fans all know that once it's on the shelves, it will not be abandoned.

The following sections of this book will be adjusted later.

One is the transfer from the Central Academy of Drama to the Beijing Film Academy. Many people think it is inappropriate, so change it. I always listen to advice.

The second is TV series. As I said before, I don’t direct many TV series myself. In the future, I will focus on movies. TV series and songs are for entertainment. I will definitely write about songs, so book friends who love to read songs can rest assured.

Okay, that’s about it.

I don’t have high requirements for the first order. I’ll be happy if it’s over 800. I don’t have any other requirements.

That’s all, I hope everyone will place an initial order.
