Chapter 472 472. Rumors from abroad
At 8 o'clock, the "Spring Festival Overture" sounded on time, which also meant that the Spring Festival Gala of the new year was about to arrive.
At this time, most households across the country tuned to China Channel 1, listening to the familiar prelude and waiting for another Spring Festival Gala.
Just as the opening ended and all the people watching the Spring Festival Gala were waiting for the familiar voice of the host to sound, two big characters written in brush suddenly appeared on the screen, "Reunion".
As the two big characters gradually faded, the picture turned and came to the railway station, passenger station and airport. People of all kinds appeared in front of the camera, and the narrators were constantly interviewing them, and the answers of all these people were "going home for the New Year".
Just when everyone was wondering why there was such an interview at the beginning of this year, suddenly a high-pitched suona sounded.
"Rich or poor, go home for the New Year."
"I know you want to return home with wealth and honor."
"Rich or poor, go home for the New Year."
"There is always a New Year's Eve dinner at home."
The simple beginning of the song made Liu Chuncheng, who was sitting in front of the TV, feel a sudden shock.
Because these two simple lyrics suddenly sang out what he wanted most at the moment. After five years of drifting in Beijing, what he wanted most was to return home with wealth and honor. The sentence "There is always a New Year's Eve dinner at home" reminded him of his favorite braised pork made by his mother. Even after so many years, the taste is still deeply engraved in his memory and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
"I am out there with my ideals, but I don't want to tell anyone about the ups and downs..."
"Everyone says that the outside world is wonderful, but there are also many frustrations in the excitement. Year after year, I don't know if I have made it!"
The girl's warm voice is still ringing. In the picture, a girl who seems to be very familiar is holding a microphone and singing this song that resonates with him. The lyrics seem to pierce his heart, and every word hits the mark in his heart.
Looking at the plate of cooked quick-frozen dumplings in front of him, this is his New Year's Eve dinner this year. Just now, when he was talking to his father, Liu Chuncheng said that he had eight dishes and one soup tonight. When he heard this lyric, Liu Chuncheng suddenly felt sour in his heart. It turned out that his previous strength was fake. His heart had long been fragile because of the loneliness over the years.
Along with this song, the defense line he built in his heart completely collapsed. Liu Chuncheng, who was leaning on the sofa, wanted to hold back his tears, but his shoulders couldn't help shaking. Even if he raised his head, his tears still burst out like a dam...
Alan's singing voice still lingered in his ears. The simple lyrics that seemed to be nagging and chatting were so deeply rooted in people's hearts at this moment. At the same time, there were countless people who were wandering outside all over the country crying because of this song.
A song lasted three minutes. Alan did not make any mistakes and performed the song perfectly. When she returned to the backstage, she was faced with the surprise expression of her agent.
"Alan, take a look." Without waiting for Alan to breathe, the agent pulled her to the tea table beside her. On the tea table was a laptop computer with a webpage opened on the screen. It was a topic circle specially opened by the blog for the Spring Festival Gala.
"Alan, look, they are all praising you. Look." The agent pulled Alan with one hand and pointed at the screen with the other hand, shouting excitedly.
"Don't be afraid of being laughed at, I'm a man in my thirties, but I cried while listening to this song."
"Is it Alan who is singing? This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard her sing."
"My eyes are blurred, but the voice feels clearer and deeper into my heart. The music sung with heart is indeed the most touching."
"Rich or poor, go home for the New Year, the simple words sing into my heart!"
"After listening to this song, I suddenly remembered the New Year's Eve dinner at home. No matter how many delicacies from the mountains and the sea, they can't compare to the dumplings made by my parents together."
In the thousands of comments that appeared online in just a few minutes, there was not a single criticism that they had worried about before. The unanimous praise surprised Alan, not to mention the agent next to her.
As a manager, he saw more things besides the good reviews. Many people in the comments were asking who sang the song. This undoubtedly proved that because of today's song, Alan's fan base has expanded again. Now she finally understands the significance of Nie Wei's persistence. After this song, Alan's group is no longer young people in their teens and twenties. Those in their thirties and forties and even many elderly people will remember this girl who sang "Go Home for the New Year with or without Money".
"Alan, call Nie Wei quickly." After the manager collected his thoughts, he immediately asked Alan, who was still reading the comments, to call Nie Wei.
"No, I've sent the text message." Alan smiled and took out her mobile phone. While the manager was not paying attention just now, she had already edited a text message and sent it to Nie Wei.
Looking at the text message sent by Alan, there were only three simple words "I'm sorry", but Nie Wei knew that the girl had finally figured it out, and that was enough.
With this song "Go Home for the New Year with or without Money", Alan's fame and status in the mainland was also completely consolidated, and after the new year, Alan's plan to develop in Japan can be prepared.
Putting aside his worries, Nie Wei refocused his attention on this year's Spring Festival Gala.
If last year's Spring Festival Gala attracted people with its creativity, this year's Spring Festival Gala won with its excellent programs.
Alan's opening song "Rich or poor, go home for the New Year" instantly moved millions of people, and the subsequent songs, dances, and skits were all above standard, especially the skit king Zhao Benshan and Song Dan's collaboration "Talking about Things", which made the audience across the country laugh.
In Nie Wei's opinion, the best language program of the Spring Festival Gala must be this brother's "Talking about Things". As for the song and dance category, Nie Wei thinks that Alan's "Rich or poor, go home for the New Year" has an 80% chance of winning the gold award.
Time passed unknowingly, and Nie Wei's New Year was also over. In the new year, Nie Wei also needs to make an adjustment for his career.
The first thing to focus on is the cinema chain.
Nie Wei has been qualified for the cinema chain for a long time, and the development of the cinema chain is also proceeding in an orderly manner. So far, the entire cinema chain has less than 20 screens at the beginning, and now there are more than 60 screens. This development speed is also considered good among the national cinema chains.
However, after experiencing the suppression of his own films by the three southern cinema chains, Nie Wei felt that the pace of development was still too slow.
So in the new year, the first thing Nie Wei had to do was to expand his own cinema chains, especially the directly affiliated cinema chains. At least in the next year, the Star Cinema Chain in his hands must have more than 200 screens.
In addition, there is the release arrangement of the movie "Your Name", which is currently scheduled for March. This is also Nie Wei's return to the big screen after more than a year. As soon as the news came out, it was really expected by everyone.
As the movie is about to pass the review, the first trailer of the movie will also be released, and Nie Wei, as a director, is naturally responsible for the editing of the trailer.
In addition, there are several stand-alone game studios to negotiate cooperation, which are also the projects that Nie Wei focuses on.
Time has passed unknowingly until the end of January. The box office of "20 Again" has exceeded 180 million, and it is struggling towards 190 million. This goal is not out of reach. Now the film's screening rate has dropped to 5%, but at the same time the attendance rate is still maintained at more than 50%, with a daily income of nearly one million. For the theaters, it is obvious that the final value of this film has not been squeezed out. It is expected that it will not be a problem to release it for another half a month to 20 days, and the goal of 190 million is still expected.
At the same time, Nie Wei's film also set a mainland box office record for comedy films. I'm afraid no one would have thought that such a film would achieve such a brilliant box office data before, and Nie Wei's reputation as a great director has become more and more solid.
And the costumes in the movie are also popular and have become the choice of many young people nowadays. Asia has unconsciously swept a retro trend, and the one behind this trend is officially "20 Again".
At the same time, the film was sold at a very good price in Southeast Asia. As for Japan and South Korea, it was released directly in theaters. So far, South Korea has released it for three days, with more than one million viewers, and Japan has released it for a longer time, a week. At present, the film is ranked in the top three of the box office rankings.
The influence of several protagonists has spread to all of Asia, and even Europe and the United States have heard of it. Some small film companies in the United States have even begun to inquire about the adaptation rights of Huayi's film. This news undoubtedly made Wang Zhonglei very excited. He felt that his original dream had taken another step forward, and it seemed that Huayi would soon be able to catch up with the international market in the future.
Nie Wei did not break Wang Zhonglei's fantasy, but he knew very well that there was still a considerable gap between the domestic film market and Hollywood. At least it would not be caught up in a few years, and Huayi Company was also far behind those Hollywood giants. Huayi still had a long way to go.
The song "Rich or poor, go home for the New Year" has also continued to ferment after the Spring Festival Gala and has become popular all over the country. Nie Wei dared to say so confidently because this song is now being played everywhere on the streets of Kyoto, and those wandering singers at the subway station entrances have also changed their playlists to this song "Rich or poor, go home for the New Year".
Alan's name is also known by many uncles and aunts. If the age of Alan's fans was only between teenagers and young people before, now it has crossed to middle-aged and elderly people, especially many wanderers who even regard Alan as their "goddess" because this girl completely sings their voices.
And the facts also prove how correct Nie Wei's persistence was at the beginning. This song broke the barriers on Alan's way forward and made her star path wider.
However, Alan's success disappointed Zhang Liangying.
After all, it was actually Zhang Liangying who had been optimistic about this song from beginning to end. Unfortunately, in the end, this song was still sung by Alan.
But soon the girl's mood brightened up, because Nie Wei had informed her that after Alan went to Japan to develop, the company's next focus would be on training Zhang Liangying.
After all, Alan would not be able to come back in one or two months after going to Japan to develop, and it would take at least half a year, and Huayi also had to have a singer in the mainland who could hold the stage. After choosing and choosing, Zhang Liangying was the most suitable, with popularity and singing skills. As long as she was slightly polished, she could become one of the pillars of Huayi Records.
Nie Wei's work was proceeding in an orderly manner, but as a piece of foreign news spread to China, Nie Wei had to temporarily put aside all the work at hand.
When Nie Wei rushed home, he saw smoke in the main room. When he opened the door, the choking smell of smoke made Nie Wei cough for a long time. He didn't care about the cold and opened the doors and windows. Otherwise, the smoke would probably make a neighbor call the fire department.
After the smoke in the house dissipated a little, Nie Wei walked in and saw Zhou Aiguo sitting on the sofa with a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth and a sad face.
"Uncle Zhou." Nie Wei called.
"Xiao Wei?" Zhou Aiguo looked up and was stunned when he saw Nie Wei, then he suddenly said: "You also watched the news."
Nie Wei nodded and sat next to Uncle Zhou.
The news Zhou Aiguo mentioned was also closely related to Nie Wei.
As for this news, Zhou Aiguo and the real estate company behind him immediately felt a huge pressure.
In just one morning, the stock of Zhou Aiguo's company plunged off a cliff. Because Zhou Aiguo believed in Nie Wei's plan, 70% of his real estate company's business in Jeju Island over the years, and his company immediately hit a wall.
"How can this country change its mind? Two years ago, it was still ambitiously shouting the slogan of an international free city, but it has been a short time, and it has to shelve the plan. I have suffered a heavy loss this time." Zhou Aiguo lamented. Seeing the company's market value shrinking, Zhou Aiguo's heart was also in pain.
Nie Wei looked very indifferent. He could guess Zhou Aiguo's reaction, but compared with Zhou Aiguo, he liked the news in his heart.
Because Nie Wei knew very well
And all this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Nie Wei now.
