It’s Monday again.
It was still 9 o'clock in the evening. Lin Shanshan was holding the radio in the dormitory. This time, all the roommates were paying close attention. When they heard the host said: "Last week's top Chinese hit list was Priscilla Chan's "Everyone Has a Dream"!
"
"Wow!"
Everyone cheered, this is not over yet, and listened again: "Congratulations to "Everyone Has a Dream" automatically entered the top ten Chinese hits of the year. Today Hui Xian is a guest on our show again. It is a double blessing. I heard that the album sales in the first week have already
Double platinum?”
"Yes, thank you all for your support!"
Priscilla Chan's sweet voice came out from the radio, and Lin Shanshan felt joyful listening to it. At the same time, she felt a great sense of accomplishment: The military medal is half of yours and half of mine!
There are so many singers in Hong Kong, and some of them cannot achieve a single platinum sales volume throughout their careers. As a newcomer, Priscilla Chan achieved double platinum sales in her first week, which is a great achievement.
One more thing: when it comes to record sales, there is no one who doesn’t exaggerate. They are all exaggerated several times over, especially the total sales, which can easily reach tens of millions or even over 100 million. Just listen to it.
At this moment, the entire dormitory had been dragged down by Lin Shanshan and became members of the fan club.
The roommate asked: "Should we call again next time?"
"Of course I have to fight! One weekly champion is not enough. I have communicated with the record company. "Everyone Has a Dream" will be released for three weeks, and "Lost Promise" will be released for three weeks. Then the promotion period will be over.
In six weeks, we need to win at least three weekly championships. Cheer up, A-Xian can only rely on us!"
Lin Shanshan injected herself with chicken blood and was extremely moved.
Represented by her, those core members of the club are also doing the same thing. They will be big fans and fans in future generations. This is also a new way to get rich. Many people use the name of raising funds to defraud small fans of their money.
Then take the money and run away.
Or they may rebel against Tiangang, feel that they have made great contributions, and always want to manipulate idols. The most typical example is Yang Zi's fans.
Chen Qi's current way of creating traffic is equivalent to disrupting the entertainment industry in advance, but no matter what, he is not building Hong Kong entertainment. He wants to unify Hong Kong entertainment and build a platform to enter Europe and the United States and retreat to the mainland.
…………
"cheers!"
That evening, Priscilla Chan couldn't hold it any longer and begged the company to give her a day off so she could celebrate with her friends. Cheung Suet-you, Lin Yilian and Huang Kaiqin were all present.
"A-Xian, you are incredible! Your first album is such a hit, you are going to become a big star!"
"A-Xian is already a big star!"
"It's just that the way we debut is different from others."
"The same goes for you! You can sing better than me, I'm just the first one, everyone can be a hit!"
Priscilla Chan happily warned: "But you have to be mentally prepared. Promotion is so tiring. I lost five pounds. Who will be posting next?"
"Me! I wonder how many copies I can sell?"
Zhang Xueyou raised his hand, not very confident, and several people encouraged him again. They all came from the good voice, and they were in the same company, so they had a natural foundation of friendship. How to develop in the future is a matter later.
"A-Xian, will everything be fine after your promotional period is over?" Lin Yilian asked.
"It will be fine for a short time, but the company said that we will also sing a movie theme song."
"What movie?"
""Happy Ghost 2"!"
"Wow!"
The three of them were envious again. "Happy Ghost" was a big hit last year and has become a popular culture among young people. All fools know how important "Happy Ghost 2" is.
"But "Happy Ghost" is from the left, will it be okay if you sing it?"
"What's the matter? You're banned from singing too?"
"Unless you only sing Cantonese songs, you have to go to Taiwan to sing Mandarin songs!"
"Not necessarily. You can go to the mainland if you sing Mandarin songs."
Priscilla Chan was not too worried and said: "The company specially hired teachers to teach us how to speak Mandarin. There must be arrangements. What are we afraid of?"
"But what if we want to film?"
"this……"
The four of them couldn't answer it, and the people they sang didn't even think about left or right.
……………………
After Chiang Kai-shek withdrew to Taiwan, a large number of centralized houses were built to house the troops and their families, which were called military dependents' villages.
Li Liqun, Teresa Teng, Yang Dechang, Brigitte Lin, Ren Xianqi, Jiao Enjun, etc., all came out of the military villages. With Taiwan's economic development and urbanization acceleration, more and more people left the military villages. By the 1990s, the military villages were gradually demolished.
disappeared, leaving only some villages as cultural protection.
The background of "The Wrong Ride" is a military dependents' village on Xinyi Road in Taipei, and it also involves the issue of demolition, which is very close to life.
On set.
Beside the river, there is a group of illegally built wooden houses, where Sun Yue and Li Liqun are acting.
Sun Yue plays the male lead, Uncle Mute, a veteran who collects rags. He picks up a baby girl and raises her. When the girl grew up, she showed her singing talent and was spotted by an entertainment company. As a result, she signed a contract of prostitution and spent all day outside.
At work, I can’t see my mute uncle.
Finally, during the girls' concert, Uncle Dumb fell ill and died in the hospital.
Nowadays, the story is very cliché, but back then it was a hit with audiences on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan is very good at making such painful films, such as "Lu Binghua", "The Wrong Ride", and "Mom Love Me Again" starring Gong Xue.
etc.
And "The Wrong Ride" is not simply sensational. It shows the feeling of being at a loss in the military community under the impact of urbanization, which is very representative of the times.
Sun Yue is from Zhejiang and came to Taiwan with the army. He is a senior actor.
Li Liqun's father is from Henan and his mother is from Beijing. He is in his early 30s, but together with Jin Shijie and Wu Xingguo, he is the founder of Taiwan's modern drama. Later, the old man became addicted to TikTok and posted short videos all day long, smoking, drinking, and eating peanuts...
"stop!"
"take a break!"
Director Yu Kanping shouted and the crew took a break, while the main creators walked to the side one after another and shook hands with Zhuang Cheng who came to visit the crew.
Yu Kanping also shook hands and said: "Mr. Zhuang, thank you for your strong support. It is rare to be willing to invest in a movie like this. This is definitely a masterpiece and the audience will definitely like it."
Legendary Pictures only provides funds and leaves everything to production in Taiwan, without even placing actors, which makes Yu Kanping very comfortable. This model is also what the Taiwanese film industry has always hoped for, but those Hong Kong companies only regard Taiwan as their market.
It's all a fool's errand.
"In my eyes, there are no commercial films or literary films. A good movie is a good movie."
Zhuang Cheng became more and more like a boss and said with a smile: "How is the original soundtrack going?"
"It went pretty well. I listened to two songs that were really good."
"That's good. The content of "Wrong Ride" is closely related to popular songs. There are not many good songs that can't be suppressed."
In addition to the movie itself, the soundtrack of "The Wrong Ride" is also a classic in history, featuring top musicians such as Hou Dejian, Luo Dayou, Liang Hongzhi, Li Shouquan, etc., and Su Rui singing.
The theme song "If the Wine Is Sold Without" was composed by Hou Dejian.
Now that the world line has changed, Hou Dejian has come to the mainland, and this song is not there yet, so it will naturally be filled by an indescribable evil god's power.
Zhuang Cheng looked at Yu Kanping's excited expression and responded slightly unnaturally. The more successful "The Wrong Ride" is, the more miserable some people will be. He is not pity, but he suddenly feels that the wheel of history is rolling forward...
...had a clear understanding.
In front of certain things, everyone is a small person, including yourself.
Chapter completed!
