Chapter 1275 1377. Premiere of
Hearing the song mentioned by the girl with twin ponytails, Jinghan couldn't help but think of the lamb and Mr. Wolf in the MV, and felt a little sour in her nose.
At the same time, she was deeply proud.
Because Alan said in an interview variety show that the comic was specially drawn by Nie Wei for this song he created, and the story behind it was also very touching. It was specially created to comfort the mother who lost her child after listening to Alan's story about a friend.
Seeing that the girl with twin ponytails also liked this song so much, Jinghan told her about it.
"Really? It's really my favorite idol, so kind and warm." The girl with twin ponytails had admiration and yearning in her eyes. Jinghan couldn't help but laugh, knowing that the girl must be thinking about something else. After all, she had done the same childish but beautiful things like her.
"Tell you another secret?" Seeing that there was still time before the show started and Nie Wei hadn't appeared yet, Jinghan simply pulled the girl with twin ponytails to continue chatting.
When the powerful elder sister heard what secrets she was going to tell, the little girl with twin ponytails sat down quickly and put on a humble attitude. She felt that she would definitely gain a lot tonight.
And she must remember these secrets clearly and tell them to others when she goes to school tomorrow. Thinking of her friends' surprised eyes, the little girl with twin ponytails couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
What the two didn't know was that the song they also liked also set a record today.
Twenty days after the release of "I Have Nothing in My Hands", the online digital single sales exceeded three million, becoming the best-selling single in the past five years.
And its MV has exceeded 200 million hits on the entire network. Although this year has not ended yet, it has also reserved the honor of the most popular MV of the year.
The digital album sales of the album "The Meaning of Life" containing this song have also exceeded 1.9 million copies. In a week at most, it will become another female singer in Sakura Country whose digital album sales have exceeded two million after several years.
Several divas of the Heisei era, as time passed, either got married and faded out of the music scene, or their works gradually failed to meet expectations, and their popularity dropped significantly. Only Alan's popularity is still at its peak, and I don't know how many colleagues envy her.
Of course, Nie Wei's talent was once again affirmed by the music industry in Sakura Country.
Countless musicians called the combination of Nie Wei and Alan a music partner that only appears once in fifty years. Many people even predicted that the two of them would continue to dominate the music scene in Sakura Country for at least ten years.
With such high praise, Alan became very busy, and she kept accepting various endorsement advertisements. Even if the company turned down most of them, Alan only slept for four hours a day at most.
When talking to Nie Wei on the phone before, Alan complained with a wry smile, feeling as if she had returned to the time when she just debuted.
And because of the big sales of the album, countless fans of Alan hope that Alan can hold a few concerts. The company will naturally not refuse such requests from fans. You know, there are really not many profitable projects in the music industry today, and concerts are definitely the most profitable business among these few.
With Alan's current appeal, a 50,000-person venue can definitely be filled. The box office revenue of a concert is at least 150 million yen. Excluding the 30% venue fee, the revenue of a concert can exceed 100 million yen, which is more than 6 million Chinese yuan.
Singers can also make huge profits from this. For example, Alan's current revenue from a concert is 30% of the overall revenue. Whether it makes money or loses money, 30% of the box office revenue will go into Alan's personal pocket.
Of course, there are singers who can't get so much money. Everything depends on the contract signed between the company and the singer.
This is also why a female singer named Deng in the original time and space became popular after participating in a certain program. The company would open hundreds of concert tours for her. To put it bluntly, it was just to make money.
Of course, doing so is undoubtedly short-sighted. This is also one of the reasons why the female singer named Deng later terminated the contract. After all, too many concerts seriously interfere with the singer's normal life and squeeze her creative time. In addition, repetitive work can easily make people mentally exhausted.
After Alan complained over the phone, Nie Wei called the record company in Yingguo and asked them to pay attention to Alan's work and rest schedule and ensure that Alan has at least one day of rest a week.
The good news of the record sales in Yingguo made Nie Wei in a good mood these days. He was smiling when facing the media at the premiere. Nie Wei responded to many reporters' questions humorously, even if they were a bit tricky, which made many reporters feel flattered.
When Nie Wei arrived at the screening room, there were less than five minutes left before the agreed premiere time.
He had time to wave to the fans, and the lights on the scene dimmed. This was what Nie Wei wanted. He deliberately came in so late, just to prevent a group of irrelevant people from running over to chat with him.
Of course, some people he was interested in were excluded.
For example, Hu Ge, who came to the scene today, Nie Wei specially talked to him.
Of course, Nie Wei mainly wanted to find out how his wife was doing in the crew. Although he talked to Shu Chang on the phone every day, what if Shu Chang had some negative thoughts that he didn't tell Nie Wei.
"Sister Shu Chang is in very good condition. The director praises her every day, which puts a lot of pressure on the other actors." Hu Ge said in a joking tone.
He did exaggerate the second half of the sentence, but he didn't brag at all in the first half.
Since Shu Chang joined the crew, the director really praises her every day, not because of her identity, but because her ability is indeed worthy of praise.
Originally, Hu Ge was still worried that Shu Chang might not be able to find her condition for a while after not acting for such a long time. He was ready to help, but who knew that Shu Chang joined the crew and gave all the actors in the crew a shocking appearance.
He still remembered that the director arranged the scene of Sha Jia Bang as soon as Shu Chang joined the crew that day.
This is not simple. In addition to the normal performance, the actors also have to sing a Peking Opera segment. As the protagonist, Hu Ge prepared for this scene a week ago, but what about Shu Chang?
Many people were worried that Shu Chang was not prepared and could not sing well. Hu Ge even privately found the director and asked him if he could change to a simpler one to let Shu Chang find his state first.
Who knew that the director smiled mysteriously and just told Hu Ge not to worry.
But how could Hu Ge not worry? He was originally going to practice with Shu Chang before going on stage, but who knew that Shu Chang came a little late because of traffic jam on the road. After changing clothes and putting on makeup, he was immediately pulled to the scene to start filming, and they didn't give Hu Ge any time to rehearse.
That scene was basically surrounded by all the actors in the crew.
There was NG in the first time, but what made Hu Ge feel ashamed was that the problem was with him, and Shu Chang had to comfort him in return.
When it came to the second time, the two of them smoothly reached the stage of singing. Hu Ge was calm on the surface, but he was panicking inside, but when Shu Chang opened his voice, he couldn't hold his calmness.
It was really amazing.
Whether it was singing or posture, it was really good. Shu Chang's voice was bright and full of posture. For a moment, Hu Ge even felt that she sang as well as the teacher who taught her.
That scene was naturally NG, and Hu Ge's expression changes did not match the character in the play.
However, by the third time, Hu Ge had a good idea in his mind, and he successfully demonstrated his strength and won this difficult scene.
When they had dinner after the show, Hu Ge curiously asked Shu Chang in a low voice why she sang so well, had she learned it before?
This made Shu Chang laugh for a long time.
"I got the script earlier than you, and I know which part is not easy. So although I didn't join the group, I also did my homework seriously. I specially asked Mr. Peiyu to learn this Peking Opera." Shu Chang's words cleared Hu Ge's confusion.
At the same time, I also admired Shu Chang from the bottom of my heart. After all, the Chinese film and television industry is very impetuous nowadays. Many actors don't do their homework at all when filming. Actors like Shu Chang, who are so big and so serious, are rare in the entertainment industry today.
"Your sister is always serious about her work." Nie Wei commented with a smile.
Whether in this time and space or in the original time and space, Shu Chang is well-known in the industry as an actor and is a model of professionalism.
This is also one of the reasons why Nie Wei admired her at the beginning. Few female stars can be like her, calm and composed, not impetuous, not exaggerated, and work hard in their profession.
Maybe she can't always be that kind of popular star, but she is definitely an excellent actor.
After chatting for a while, the giant screen lit up and the movie officially started. Nie Wei stopped talking, sat up straight, and watched his work carefully.
The story begins with the background, not the familiar Britain, but the United States across the ocean.
Because there are constantly magicians showing magic in modern society, the American magic world is in a crisis of exposure, and many anti-magic organizations have emerged in the country.
Against this background, the protagonist Newt came to the United States to fulfill the wishes of magical animals.
Fans familiar with the Harry Potter series know that wizards are not allowed to perform magic in normal human society, but Newt had just arrived in the United States and had not yet passed the security check when trouble came.
A little fellow who was very good at stealing escaped from his box containing magical animals, and even implicated a Muggle, Jacob, who dreamed of becoming a baker.
In the process, he also attracted the attention of the local Auror, to be precise, the former Auror and the heroine of this movie, Tina.
The beginning of the story is like many Hollywood blockbusters, very lively. The magical animal Sniff, which looks like a platypus and loves to steal shiny objects, made countless girls at the scene exclaim that it is super cute. Jacob, who dreams of becoming a baker, pretended to be calm after being hit by a magical animal egg, which also amused all the audience at the scene.
The humorous dialogue, the wonderful scene switching, and of course the appearance of the magical animals, all the audience at the scene watched with relish.
Especially the process of the protagonist Newt taking Jacob to find the magical animals scattered all over the Big Apple City made the entire theater laugh continuously.
Of course, for the Chinese audience, Wu Lei's appearance was also a surprise. As an autistic teenager in the film, Wu Lei's performance made many film critics nod their heads in approval and silently gave a good evaluation in their hearts.
As for the emotional line of the story, the feeling between the male protagonist Newt and the female protagonist Tina, who are more than friends but less than lovers, makes the audience upset. On the contrary, the relationship between the other male protagonist Jacob and the female protagonist's sister Queenie, fed countless single men and women at the scene with dog food.
It's really too sweet, the kind of sweet that makes your teeth fall out.
But gradually the audience couldn't laugh anymore. Like many Hollywood blockbusters, the laughter in the first half is to pave the way for the tense atmosphere in the second half. As the story progresses to the second half, some conspiracies gradually surfaced.
Because of the misleading plot, many people think that the boss behind the scenes is Mary, the leader of the anti-magic organization, and few people doubt the leader of the Aurors, Graves.
But in the later stage of the story, Graves's mask was finally revealed, and he was the culprit who instigated the Obscurus to destroy everything.
At the end of the story, the falsely accused hero and heroine were cleared of all charges, and Graves's fake mask was completely revealed. However, when everyone thought that this was the end, the captured Graves suddenly changed from a handsome middle-aged uncle to a strange man with white hair and evil charm.
"Grindelwald!" Some wizards exclaimed in horror.
"Do you think you can trap me?" Although he was caught, Grindelwald's expression was not panic at all, but he asked the American Minister of Magic with confidence.
"We will try our best." The Minister of Magic answered solemnly.
This reversal of the plot left enough suspense. The audience had not recovered from the shock of Graves suddenly becoming Grindelwald, and their hearts were "hurt" again.
Because of the rules of the magic world, Muggles will have their memories erased after seeing magic.
Unfortunately, the second male Jacob is a Muggle.
"No, how can you erase Jacob's memory? What about Queenie?" The audience protested from the bottom of their hearts, and also hoped that the male protagonist Newt or the female protagonist Tina would stand up to speak for Jacob.
But to their disappointment, the two protagonists remained silent from beginning to end.
Jacob's memory was still erased, but before leaving, Queenie gave him a kiss affectionately. This long kiss in the rain was also the most romantic and distressing shot in the audience's heart.
Jacob stood alone in the heavy rain in confusion, his figure was full of desolate taste, and many viewers felt distressed. The most popular character in the whole movie was undoubtedly this funny and strong fat boy.
Although the male protagonist Newt "compensated" Jacob afterwards, invested in him to open a bakery and fulfilled his dream, in the eyes of the audience, Jacob missed Queenie, which could not be compensated by anything.
Just when the audience thought they would end their viewing experience with regret, a turning point suddenly appeared...
Thanks to Jimoyakongxuleng for his generous reward of 2,000, and thanks to Junior Brother Fahai for his generous reward of 500.
