Xiang Nan then gave Wu Erzhen the script he had written - "Waiting Alone".

This movie was written and directed by Taiwanese director Wu Shih-hsien, and is known as the best romance movie in the Mainland.

Xiang Nan had seen it before and was deeply impressed, so he wanted to take a photo of it.

Firstly, its cost is low. There are no big scenes in the film, and many of them are indoor scenes. It is estimated that it can be completed with an investment of two million;

Secondly, its subject matter is also very suitable for young people. It is an urban romantic comedy that is both romantic and fashionable. It is different from Zhang Yimou's rustic style and Feng Xiaogang's poor style. It will definitely be popular.

After Wuerji read the script, to be honest, he was immediately amazed by Xiang Nan.

"Junior brother, I really admire you." He said to Xiang Nan with a surprised look on his face.

"Don't rush to praise me yet. Please read this script first and see if it can be used?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"It works, of course it works." Wu Ertian nodded, "To be honest, I haven't seen such a fresh and smooth script in a long time."

Although the mainland has been reforming and opening up for many years, the treatment of romance movies is still very rough. It is either extremely romantic, such as "Suzhou River", or extremely lustful, such as "The Summer Palace". In short, the films are not the love of ordinary people. story.

But Xiang Nan's "Waiting Alone" is very unique, fresh, natural, smooth, not exaggerated, not pretentious, not vain. He thinks it is the best story that reflects the love of urban youth.

"Then use it." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "You direct and I star. Let's hurry up and shoot and try to release it during the Spring Festival."

Wuerji nodded.

…

Xiang Nan immediately registered Zhichun Pictures and invested 3 million yuan specifically for the filming of the movie "Waiting Alone".

If it makes money, the company will continue to operate. If it loses money, it will only be the company that loses money, and no more will be involved.

Subsequently, he began to file for "Waiting Alone" and waited for approval.

While waiting for the review, he and Ning Hao took some time to shoot the music video for "Exclusive Angel".

To be honest, Che Chun is really a beauty. Especially her temperament, noble and generous, dignified and elegant. She is more comfortable than watching on TV.

During the filming of the music video, Xiang Nan also focused on examining Ning Hao's abilities.

I found that his skills are really good, and he has his own uniqueness in terms of pictures, lighting, scenery, performances, etc. Especially in terms of scene planning, he is even more outstanding.

During the filming of the MV, there were about thirty people from all walks of life on site. He directed them to make mistakes without chaos, and to be in order. It must be said that this is already a great skill.

If it were an incompetent director, three or five people wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was very satisfied with Ning Hao and agreed to cooperate together in the future.

…

A week later, the completed MV for "Exclusive Angel" officially appeared on the TV station.

Xiang Nan also started to promote this album, such as Enlight Media's "Music Chart", Mango Channel's "Happy Camp", Hujiang Channel's "Entertainment Star World", etc.

In fact, selling records was much easier than this before. After the MV is released, if you release some news to the print media, then the publicity is almost done.

But now, the record market is not very prosperous, and sales are shrinking year by year.

Due to the promotion of the Internet, the cost of recording music is getting lower and lower. Nowadays, it is extremely rare in the Chinese-speaking world to maintain record sales of one million.

Generally speaking, a singer is considered a popular singer if he can sell more than 500,000 records.

Therefore, even a superstar like Xiang Nan must do a lot of publicity in order to sell records. He has to do everything from autograph signings to face-to-face meetings and online interviews.

Xiang Nan ran for almost a month to promote, from south to north, from east to west, and visited more than thirty places.

During the promotion period, the MV for "Dongfeng Po" was also officially launched.

Because this MV used some special effects, it was a little more difficult to produce and took a little longer. Even though it was filmed first, it was actually released later.

However, after its launch, the publicity effect was excellent.

The picture in this MV is extremely beautiful. Xiang Nan and Huang Shengyi, the man is handsome and the woman is pure, they are all as beautiful as flowers.

Secondly, this song is heart-warming, poignant and full of oriental charm. Not only is the song good, but the lyrics are also better, and it also gives the audience a refreshing feeling.

With the release of two music videos and Xiang Nan's vigorous promotion, the album "Exclusive Angel" has finally achieved good sales.

The order quantity of all dealers combined is basically maintained at around one million. This is already considered good.

…

"Yuan Shuai, you now have personal experience. It's really hard to sell records now." Song Bing smiled and said to Xiang Nan, "This spring, we released the single "Sad Swing" for Jin Haixin. ", the sales volume was less than 100,000 copies. Even the production fee was not recovered."

"I understand." Xiang Nan nodded, "Robbery is too rampant now. In the past, robbing still required costs, including CDs, tapes, and recorders.

Nowadays, it is an Internet pirate, and the cost is almost zero. Once uploaded, the whole world can hear it. This is because the Internet has not yet been promoted. Wait, wait until the Internet penetrates into third- and fourth-tier cities, and even into towns and rural areas. That will be What a nightmare for the record industry."

If he remembered correctly, by around the 1910s, when singers released albums, they rarely released physical albums. Most of them were digital albums.

"So in the future, record companies will have to make money through performances. I don't believe you can listen to Taoban's albums, and your stars can also watch Taoban." Song Bing said with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded.

Song Bing is right. In the future, singers will have to rely on commercial performances to make money.

First- and second-tier big-name stars, third- and fourth-tier small-name stars, unfashionable bars, karaoke bars, nightclubs, bathing centers...

Don't think it looks miserable, but you can actually earn tens of thousands by singing in one night, which is still much more than ordinary people.

Of course, when the fans become more economical, they can still cut their fans. In addition, in another year, mobile phone ringtones will be born. For a small ringtone, the market has reached more than 10 billion. This is also a big point of making money.

"So, Yuan Shuai, let's hold another concert." Song Bingtu said indifferently.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, I have no problem. You can discuss the schedule with my agent."

Song Bing smiled. He liked Xiang Nan. He was straightforward and decisive in doing things and never sloppy. It was comfortable to work with him!

…

Entering July, the script review of "Waiting Alone" finally passed, and the film officially entered the preparation stage.

Xiang Nan has already discussed several leading actors in the past few days. The heroine is Gao Yuanyuan, who has fair skin and beautiful appearance; the second female lead is Tang Wei, who looks ordinary but looks stunning when dressed up.

One is his own woman, and the other is an artist under his banner. It is his first time to invest in filming, so it is hard to give others an advantage.

A group of bad friends will invite Sun Honglei, Zhou Le, Li Bo, Cheng Bin, Lu Yi and others to star in the show. In addition, Xiang Nan will also invite Na Jie, Wang Fei, Leslie Cheung, Wang Gang and others to guest star.
Chapter completed!
