Chapter 158 Letter from the Director
For several days, online and entertainment news, discussions about Yu Qiluo's new album were everywhere. The huge momentum and wide range of impact made no one doubt the sales of this album. Some people predict that the sales of this album could reach at least one platinum level.
Platinum, in the record industry, the current platinum standard in Europe, America and the Ming Dynasty is one million copies sold, with sales of 500,000 copies, which is gold records, and sales of one million copies are platinum records. If the sales can reach tens of millions, it is diamond records.
Diamond records are extremely difficult to achieve, and it is impossible for non-real top international singers to achieve this sales.
If we look at the history of the Ming Dynasty music scene, there are only more than ten records that have reached the diamond level.
After Yu Qiluo's new album was released, most people in the industry believe that the final sales of this album will reach 1 platinum, but the problem is how much platinum can it reach in the end.
Whether on the Internet or in news media reports, when reporting on this album, the name Zhao Yan, the main lyricist of the album, is basically mentioned.
The energy of media journalists is always beyond the public's imagination.
With the launch of Yu Qiluo's new album, thousands of fans from the outside world wanted to know the detailed information of Zhao Yan. Within a day, a reporter satisfied the fans' wish.
Zhao Yan's little and little experience, from elementary school to university, was first reported by the evening news from Xicheng TV Entertainment Channel. It was then reprinted or broadcasted by various news media. héiyaпgě
Therefore, the image of the name Zhao Yan in the eyes of fans, netizens, and ordinary people quickly became three-dimensional. In the photo, Zhao Yan is tall and long legs, wide shoulders and narrow waist, and has a handsome long face. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised. He looks like he is smiling, but he gives people a kind of evil spirit or a ruffian spirit.
His eyes looked a little cynical.
It is said that this is what he looked like when he was 16 years old.
In terms of appearance, Zhao Yan gives the public the feeling that he may be a bit bad, and his identity is richer. This is how Zhao Yan is described in the Internet Ming Encyclopedia:
Zhao Yan: Born on October 11, 2028, male, from Xicheng, Huzhou City, Ontario, born in an ordinary family of ordinary citizens. His father and mother currently run a small breakfast shop. When he was a teenager, Zhao Yan was extremely obsessed with martial arts and spent most of his energy on martial arts. He learned Bajiquan very quickly. After he was 16 years old, he had no opponents in the area near Xicheng No. 3 Middle School, but the result of being too obsessed with martial arts is that his academic performance is not good. In addition to martial arts, he has another hobby, which is said to be a novel! A few months before the senior year of high school entrance examination, he suddenly wrote a book called "Full Moon Scimitar" and successfully published it at the Inscription Bookstore. With this, he was admitted to Nanjing Hanlin College for writing major without examination. The work currently being serialized is "Rebirth of the Great Sword of the Sword". It is worth mentioning that this book has been very popular in the novel circle recently!
Zhao Yan, who was only 17 years old, entered university for less than three months. Not only did he continue to serialize new books in the publishing house, but he also suddenly threw out the lyrics of eight songs on Yu Qiluo's new album for copyright, and successfully sold them for one million yuan in copyright.
The 17-year-old Zhao Yan was obviously not a sloppy person. After receiving a copyright bonus of one million yuan, he immediately acquired a company that was about to go bankrupt. Not long ago, he fought with the successor of Shandong Lion Seal and achieved an undisputed victory. Later, he fought with the successor of Qi Duan Jin in the capital, but lost!
...
Anyone who has read the description of Zhao Yan on the Ming Encyclopedia has become more vivid.
He is obsessed with martial arts, loves to read and write novels, and can write songs. He is both civil and martial, has outstanding talents, and can defeat the descendants of Shandong Lion Seal, which shows that his kung fu is also very powerful.
He is really restless, ambitious, or ambitious when he acquires a family at the age of 17!
Then some media revealed that Zhao Yan was almost expelled from the school in the last semester of his senior year, and was suspected to have beaten the class teacher.
Later, someone revealed that Zhao Yan's eight songs were not sold to Yu Qiluo at first. Then some media discovered that Zhao Yan had rescued Yu Qiluo who was kidnapped on the eve of the college entrance examination...
Zhao Yan became popular! Although he has not reached the level of household name, he is still a little popular!
There are probably two reasons why he did not have a big hit. One is that he lost to the successor of Qi Duan Jin in martial arts. The second point is: Although he wrote the eight songs, the singer is Yu Qiluo, and the singer is not him. If it weren't for the eight songs written by him on Yu Qiluo's new album, he would probably not have noticed him.
...
On the afternoon of the fifth day of Yu Qiluo's new album, in a villa garden deep in the Xiangwang Villa Garden in the high-end villa area at the foot of Wushan, a mountain city in Sichuan Province, a man of 35 or 36 was lying half-lying on the edge of the garden pavilion, holding a book in his hand and squinting his eyes.
The villa of King Xiang was not the residence of King Xiang of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, there was no King Xiang in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that the reason why this high-end villa area was named Xiangwang Villa is because of an allusion.
Legend has it that King Xiang of Chu once visited Wushan, and there has been a legend in the Wushan area. It is said that when he falls asleep in Wushan, he may see the goddess of Wushan in his dream. After hearing this legend, King Xiang of Chu went to bed in Wushan on a whim. As a result, he indeed saw the goddess of Wushan in his dream.
King Xiang of Chu was moved and wanted to be with the goddess, but the goddess had no intention of King Xiang of Chu.
This legend finally left a sentence: King Xiang is intentional, but the goddess is ruthless.
This legend is widely known to the world. When a smart developer built a high-end villa area here, he took the name of the Xiangwang Villa.
OK! None of these are the key points!
Get back to the point.
The man in the pavilion finished reading the book in his hand, and closed the book and still held it in his hand, half-opening and half-closing his eyes as if he was thinking about something, while the cover of the book in his hand was the four words "Full Moon Scimitar".
Being able to live in the Xiangwang Villa at the foot of Wushan means that this person is very rich, at least he will not be an ordinary person. You should know that each villa here is worth at least 30 million.
With such a net worth and such age, he actually reads novels here in the afternoon?
This matter seems abnormal no matter how you look at it.
But if his identity is revealed, this matter would not seem strange.
Lin Fusheng: an outstanding figure among the previous graduates of the Director Department of Shancheng Film Academy, a contemporary successor of the eight-step serial sword of the Lin family in Jingzhou, an introductory disciple of Gu Kuangtu, a great master of martial arts films of a generation, and one of the six signed directors of Shancheng Madman Film Group.
No matter which title is taken out, it will be enough to attract attention.
Shancheng Film Academy is very famous because of this academy, Shancheng has developed into the largest film and television city in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. The eight-step serial sword of the Lin family in Jingzhou has a history of more than 300 years and is known as the leader of the southern swordsmanship.
It is rumored that every step of the eight-step serial sword is more powerful than the sword technique, as fast as thunder, invincible, and the eight-step continuous sword will have incredible power.
Gu Kuangtu is the most famous martial arts film master at the beginning of this century. His disciples have invited Luo Shisan martial arts stars with their own characteristics as their adopted son and daughter.
With his personal directorial ability and the thirteen adopted sons and daughters who are in the real kung fu of various sects, Gu Kuangtu is the second best martial arts movie at the beginning of this century, and no one dares to be the first.
It was in that era that the Crazy Film Company founded by Gu Kuangtu grew rapidly and became a group-like behemoth.
However, the Crazy Movie Group is no longer as glorious as before. Three years ago, Gu Kuangtu died of lung cancer. His son Gu Mingshan's ability and prestige were too far behind Gu Kuangtu. Gu Kuangtu's thirteen adopted sons and daughters, except for one of them who died in the revenge of the martial arts group, only three of the other twelve remained in the Crazy Movie Group, and the other nine were recruited and divided by other film and television groups.
Those nine people are the best among today's action stars. Not only that, the gold medal director of the Madman Film Group has been almost divided up.
There are only two gold medal directors in the Gu Kuangtu era in the Madman Film Group. Now there are only two left behind, one of them is still in a semi-retired state. Lin Fusheng is not Gu Kuangtu's adopted son. Although his skills are amazing, he learned from Gu Kuangtu as the director. After Gu Kuangtu's death, more than 80% of the famous directors and stars in the Madman Film Group lost more than 80%. Lin Fusheng, who was still not well-known in the director industry at that time, was not poached.
Gu Mingshan, who lacked talent availability, could only re-cultivate talents. Lin Fusheng, an introductory disciple of Gu Kuangtu, entered Gu Mingshan's vision at that time, and Gu Mingshan gave Lin Fusheng the opportunity to prove his talents.
Lin Fusheng was obviously a smart man. As the chance given to him by Mingshan, he immediately seized it! The first movie was to shoot the eight-step serial sword he passed down from his family.
The name of the movie is directly "Eight-Step Sword". He has a good appearance and he plays the male lead himself. The script directly imitates his teacher Gu Kuangtu's "Blood Shadow Killing Sword". At the same time, two of the three adopted sons of Gu Kuangtu who stayed in the Madman Film Group were invited to play in his movie.
The most amazing thing is that he also convinced Gu Mingshan to let Gu Mingshan's only beloved daughter Gu Qinghe play the heroine of his movie.
Why is it the most amazing thing to ask Gu Qinghe to star in this movie?
The reason is very simple. Although Gu Mingshan is not good-looking, his wife was once a famous beauty all over the world. She was one of the most popular female stars in the era of the rise of martial arts movies.
Gu Qinghe has a better appearance than her mother. Some good people on the Internet have long rated her as the number one beauty in the mountain city.
But Gu Qinghe is not a star or an actor, she learns painting.
Lin Fusheng was able to invite her to play the heroine of "Eight Steps Swords" not only to convince Gu Mingshan, but also to impress the young lady Gu Qinghe.
When the news that Gu Qinghe appeared in "Eight Steps and Swords" came out, the outside world was indeed in an uproar. You should know that before this, many well-known directors wanted to invite Gu Qinghe to star in their own movies, including those famous directors who were still in the Madman Film Group, but what is Gu Qinghe's identity? Her grandfather's Madman movies collectively have a market value of tens of billions. Does she need to make money by filming?
Lin Fusheng's director skills are not weak. His first movie is the world-famous Eight-Step Sword. As the contemporary successor of the Eight-Step Sword, he himself plays the male lead, and the heroine is the well-known beauty Gu Qinghe. In terms of the script, it imitates his master Gu Kuangtu's classic film "Blood Shadow Killing Sword".
Although the imitation script lacks novelty, how many movie fans care? What fans care about is whether the eight-step serial sword in the Lin family in Jingzhou is strong enough, what is the true face of the eight-step serial sword? And the performance of the beautiful Gu Qinghe on the screen.
Facts have proved that Lin Fusheng's strategy was very successful. This movie became popular before it was filmed. After it was released, because the eight-step serial sword was indeed outstanding, coupled with Gu Qinghe's vase effect, although the plot is a bit old-fashioned, it also attracted a large number of martial arts fans to enter the theater to watch the movie.
"Eight-Step Sword" made Lin Fusheng both fame and fortune in one fell swoop.
After "Eight-Step Sword", Lin Fusheng made two more movies, one of which was "Eight-Step Sword 2", which had a good box office, but the film reviews and criticisms were mixed, and the audience seemed to have lost the freshness of the Eight-Step Sword. So Lin Fusheng followed up with another movie "Futu Tower".
Unfortunately, after the release of "Futu Tower", both box office and reputation were lost. For a time, many people from the outside world said that Lin Fusheng's talent had ended, but Lin Fusheng was just like this.
After the failure of "Futu Tower", Lin Fusheng has not started a film project for nearly half a year. For the past six months, he has been living in seclusion in the villa at the foot of Wushan Mountain, living a quiet life.
He was licking his wounds, reflecting on himself, and also thinking and looking for the script for the next movie.
At this time, because of Yu Qiluo's new album recently and because of the news reports on Zhao Yan, he saw Zhao Yan's first novel "The Full Moon Scimitar". (To be continued.)
