Chapter 504 Hengdian

Three days later, the debut night of the boy band Big Bang was broadcast successfully. The ratings broke the record set by Girls' Generation a year ago. The popularity of Penguin Video live broadcast reached an exaggerated 100 million, and the number of views on YouTube and Twitch was 500,000 at the same time. People are watching online, and the traffic is so high.

In the context of global auditions, the strength of male idols from all over the world is indeed ridiculously strong. Although China has the largest number of male idols participating this time, the proportion of the final group did not reach an overwhelming level. Only two people.

The remaining six people, one from South Korea, one from Japan, and one from Vietnam, are all from Asia.

On the European side, one is from Russia, one is from the United Kingdom, and two are from the United States. One of the two in the United States is Chinese-American.

On the night of the group formation night, a group of Girls' Generation's seniors also appeared on stage to support the singing, which became the time period with the highest ratings apart from the announcement of the debut ranking results.

For all fans who love idol groups, tonight's group night is almost perfect. Of course, the only regret is that Luo Quan was not able to perform on stage together, mainly because she was on a plane back to the United States at the time.

However, she was involved in other ways.

The day after their group formation night, the nine-member boy band released a preview version of their debut album "Boyhood" while the iron was hot. The title songs were naturally the two that Luo Quan released at the beginning: "Day by Day" and "I Want It" that way》

Then there are the six newly released songs:

"Roar" (original singer: EXO, also available in Chinese version)

"What Makes you beautiful" (original singer: one direction)

"The Only Flower in the World" (Japanese song, original singer: Smap)

"Nothing's gonna change my love for you" (original singer: Westlife)

"Marshmallow" (Chinese song, original singer: Supreme Lihe)

There are a total of eight songs, covering four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. Luo Quan originally thought that he could add one in Spanish. After all, there were many handsome idols from Spanish-speaking areas this time. Unfortunately, the whole family was wiped out in the fourth issue. So Luo Quan temporarily changed a Spanish song into English.

As for the Vietnamese member competing tonight, it is a pity that there is no exclusive song in his native language.

After all, he was the least expected before the start of the competition, but he performed exceptionally well on the stage tonight and conquered the passers-by with his performance. In the final stage of voting, he surpassed the ninth place in front of him and successfully made his debut.

However, because it was not favored, Luo Quan did not write any songs specifically for this language, which was a mistake.

But it would be really hard to ask her to write it. She only knew one of the famous Vietnamese songs: How beautiful is the girl with braces? The rest had no impression at all. She couldn't write it even if she wanted to, so she just selectively omitted it. pass.

Although there is such a small flaw for this group, this album is definitely the strongest album by an idol boy group in the new century. There is no one better than this among its peers.

Once the electronic version of the album was released, even though there was no accompanying MV, it still sold out in the four regions of China, the United States, Japan and South Korea, and topped the sales charts in their respective regions.

Especially in the US B-list, after Luo Quan's debut, music geniuses have sprung up one after another. The US music market is gradually showing signs of rejuvenation. In the past year, this list has been a fight between gods and gods.

However, in the past six months, the top three positions on the list are still quite fixed. Lyon's "Old Town Road" has been at the top for several weeks in a row, with more than 5 billion digital plays on the entire network, and its popularity remains high.

The second one is "Eternal Love" by Luo Quan. This graduation song Luo Quan sang to his friends in Chinese universities has become one of the most popular love songs on the American music charts, and even vaguely has the title of "American No. 1". The title "Second National Anthem" is just a compliment, I don't know.

But aside from these, the data of "Eternal Love" is still quite explosive. Except for "Old Town Road", none of the new songs released in recent days can rival it. The only one that can be compared with it is "My Heart" sung by Luo Quan. Eternal".

In fact, this song has always been on the list, ranking neither high nor low. After the movie was released, it briefly reached the second position, making it a hit.

In addition to these three songs, there are several songs from the new album of the Big Bang boy band. Fans used their enthusiasm and money to give their idols a good appearance on the B list.

Moreover, this is not the kind where fans spent money on their idols to create data in the past. The quality of these songs is real, and they are also quite attractive to passers-by. After being on the list, they are expected to stay on the list for a long time. a period of time.

For the members of the men's team, their era has just begun, and the concept of idol auditions has become the biggest keyword in the entertainment industry this year.

For two consecutive years, Penguin has used idol drafts to gain huge amounts of popularity and revenue. Last year, it was only a riot in Asia. This year, its scope of influence has directly expanded to the whole world.

The two great successes have made everyone in the industry and outside the industry see the potential of the idol talent show. Not only domestically, but also abroad have begun to organize idol talent shows with their own national characteristics. Penguin also took this opportunity to collect a lot of money. Wave copyright fees.

As for Luo Quan, her affairs are basically over. After the album was released, the money and goods were paid. After paying taxes, Luo Quan took part of it and donated it. After receiving it, Luo Quan only had less than 40 million left.

Even though it's more than half the price, there are no middlemen to make the difference, because celebrities need to pay a lot of taxes.

According to the newly customized tax laws last year, a star's 100 million yuan salary will need to pay about 42 million in taxes and fees. Luo Quan is the album production fee, there is not much difference, it is just a different name.

Then Luoquan, a charitable person, donated another ten to ten million, and what he got in the end was less than forty million.

"It's faster to earn U.S. dollars. A song abroad costs 10 million U.S. dollars, which is almost ten times the price in China." Luo Quan looked at the newly earned W in his account and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, she had already got off the plane and returned to her home in Tan Gong. After her summer vacation, Ivy went to the UK, which has a strong rock atmosphere, to collect music. She also went on a few tours. Su Yu and Lan Xuan were the only ones at home.

Previously, Luo Quan asked Mr. Zhou to find some good dramas for Su Yu to play the role of the third girl and the fourth girl. Mr. Zhou's work is quite stable. From January this year to now, Su Yu's film contract has not been broken. However, he has already joined the cast of four TV series, three of which have been aired and have been well received.

Su Yu also started to appear on the hot search independently from being unknown, and the number of fans on Weibo gradually increased to more than 7 million.

Such a fairy girl, with such high professional skills, as long as she is exposed, it will only be a matter of time before she becomes famous.

Although the boss Luo Quan does not pay as much attention to the development of artists as other bosses, he still does not give perfunctory resources. Moreover, because of her aura, these artists in the company naturally gain favor from passers-by. As soon as I see the words Quanshui Entertainment, I feel friendly.

However, although Su Yu's career is now booming, she is still far behind from being a first-line actress. Luo Quan came back this time to fulfill his original promise: to help her become an internationally famous star.

In this industry of entertainers, small success depends on support, and big success depends on life. No matter how much support some people have, no matter how many international big names they cooperate with or how many Hollywood blockbusters they star in, they cannot become popular.

This means that one's fate is not good and one cannot become popular.

Luo Quan didn't know if Su Yu was destined to be like this, but she didn't care. Even if Su Yu was, she still had ways to change his destiny.

The previous situation of not becoming popular is ultimately due to the poor quality of the work produced. If it is really a good work, it is impossible for it not to become popular!

"Have you read the script?" Luo Quan entered the room, pushed his suitcase to the sofa, and asked Su Yu above.

Su Yu nodded lightly: "I've watched it so many times, I can recite all the lines for you!"

"There's no need to be so exaggerated. This is making a movie, not a stage play. The goal is to interpret the lines of each scene to the extreme. It doesn't matter whether you can recite the lines backwards or forwards. There is an Oscar-winning actor who never memorizes his lines. But every time he acts, he can say something very suitable according to the plot, so the key is to understand."

Luo Quan gave instructions for a while, but suddenly he remembered that he was just a second-hand swordsman, and Su Yu was born in a profession, and her rhetoric here was a bit out of line.

"By the way, I haven't discussed the film's remuneration with you yet. I almost forgot about it." Luo Quan suddenly remembered this matter and immediately mentioned it.

Su Yu quickly waved his hand: "Boss, you gave me a big opportunity by letting me act in this movie. Besides, I am an artist in the company, so why do I need any salary?"

Luo Quan said solemnly: "That's not okay. My brothers are still settling the score. You are an artist, followed by the artists of my company. As an artist, you should be paid for making a movie. You can't break the rules.

Just follow the current market price in China! "

Hearing the boss's decisive tone, Su Yu and Lan Xuan looked at each other, smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not particularly famous now, I'm probably above the third tier, and the salary is about two million."

"That's not expensive." Luo Quan scratched his head, but after thinking about the salaries of a group of actors during the filming of "Rurouni Kenshin", except for her and Junko, they were basically around several hundred thousand RMB. In comparison, it seemed It seems a bit outrageous.

Lan Xuan explained: "Su Yu is just starting out now. Without a reputation, he has no confidence in charging fees. If you were the boss, you would have to pay a minimum of 100 million to make a movie, and you would have to rush to raise the price."

Luo Quan laughed: "That's what I said, but if it gets out, I have to apologize to movie fans all over the country, and now that the salary limit order has been issued, it is impossible to get such a high salary... The contract is a dead end, don't touch it."

Luo Quan said this in a relatively relaxed tone, mainly because he wanted to warn Lan Xuan and Su Yu. They also understood the boss's pain and hurriedly said that they would never do anything illegal.

This is actually a characteristic of Quanshui Entertainment. Although this company has never exploited artists, it actually limits the ways artists can make money. Compared with other large companies, Quanshui Entertainment can make a lot of money in a short time. Not easy.

But at least, you can make money and spend money steadily without worrying about the day when the incident will come to light.

Su Yu likes her current situation very much. She can play the roles she likes, her popularity is increasing little by little, she is popular with the public and there are few unscrupulous people, and she doesn't have to worry about the boss's unspoken rules. There is no place that can satisfy her more than the environment here. …………

After a night's rest, the three of them packed their bags and flew to Hengdian in Jiangnan Province the next day.

Hengdian Film and Television City is the largest film and television shooting base in China and even Asia. More than 200,000 actors live here all year round.

Professionals, non-professionals, newcomers or those who have been acting for a long time, these people are collectively called Hengdiao.

Every actor has a star dream, hoping to be appreciated by the director, liked by the audience, and become a nationally famous star.

This kind of sparrow turning into a phoenix happens every one or two years, but compared to such a large actor base in Hengdian, the probability is not even one in ten thousand.

Acting as a corpse or a walk-in who gets a box lunch in a second is the norm for most people. It is not easy to be a star, and that kind of good luck is not something ordinary people can have.

For many frustrated ordinary people, Hengdian is also a place where they can escape reality. Although the income from filming here is not very high, as long as you can film, you can basically have three meals a day, and the film salary is enough to find a job. You can live in a sheltered place and live a frugal life. You can also save a considerable amount of income in a year, which is much better than working hard at the construction site.

Moreover, if you keep filming, you can also have the opportunity to become famous overnight, which gives many people an excuse to waste their lives here.

The movie Luo Quan is going to make this time also happens to tell a story about dreams and reality. The world in the movie is rich and glamorous, out of reach of ordinary people, just like the entertainment industry that people long for.

But it is not completely unattainable. If the opportunity comes, even ordinary people have the possibility of becoming famous.

Here, there was once a migrant worker who was recognized by his discerning eye and became famous after starring in an impressive role. Later, he gradually became a movie king and even a national artist.

This is the fairy tale in the hearts of all Hengpiao, and it is also a legend that cannot be copied.

However, after this year's purge in the entertainment industry, many stars have retired. It is a time for renewal in the entertainment industry. Whether you are an art school student or a drifter, your chances of becoming famous are much higher than before.

Therefore, there are an exceptionally large number of actors in Hengdian this year, and the employees sent by each crew to recruit extras can make full selections.

When Luo Quan first arrived in Hengdian, he didn't immediately start taking photos of the group. Instead, he first observed the market.
