Chapter 160 Why Do I Seem to Have Heard This Before?

Returning to Xiazhou, Lin Qiu just felt at ease.

Chang'an Film and Television Company.

"Mom! I'm back!"

"Oh, you haven't lost weight. It seems that the food in Xizhou is good."

"Not bad."

After three months of not seeing each other, Lin Qiu went straight to the company's office and gave Zheng Qing a big hug!

"You've lost weight. I've lost weight because I miss you so much."

"Oh, thank God."

"I don't know my son yet. He can only call me twice."

"I'm afraid you're not thinking about me?"

Zheng Qing smiled dotingly.

As the only son in the family, although his parents are busy, they give all their love to Lin Qiu.

"Hey, where's Dad?"

"I'm on a business trip in Shanghai. I'll be back tomorrow. Xiao Tang will come to the company later, right?"

Zheng Qing is 120% satisfied with Lin Qiu and Tang Anning's relationship.

His son is not only talented and focused on his career, but also never messes around with men and women.

This is really rare in the film and television industry.

Zheng Qing is so familiar with this girl, Xiao Tang.

More than two years ago, Zheng Qing told Lin Qiu's father that these two children had signs of love.

At that time, Lin Yuanping didn't believe it and thought it was too high to marry, but now, all the girls in Xiazhou who want to marry Lin Qiu can go around Yanjing.

"Well, I'll come later."

"I have to rehearse for the Spring Festival Gala in two days, and I have to rehearse in advance."

Seeing Lin Qiu's happy smile, Zheng Qing chuckled and thought:

"Is that rehearsal?"

"I'm embarrassed to point it out to you!"

However, Zheng Qing couldn't care about the feelings of young people.

How could Zheng Qing not be happy that his son had a favorite object, and a good girl like Xiao Tang.

Always staying at home to create, Zheng Qing was afraid that his son would suffer from depression and become a lunatic.

From ancient times to the present, there are too many cases where genius is equal to lunatic.

Zheng Qing would rather not have these wealth and achievements, and he hopes that Lin Qiu can live a healthy and peaceful life.

As soon as Lin Qiu got home, he immediately started editing "The Truman Show". The tentative plan is to participate in the "Cannes Film Festival" held in Xizhou in mid-May.

Because the "Cannes Film Festival" is not like the Oscars, which includes all the films in Jiuzhou in a year, the competitiveness is relatively weak.

With the quality of "Truman", Lin Qiu feels that it is very likely to hit the Cannes Grand Prize!

Once it wins the "Golden Palm Award", the movie "Truman" will be the first to set off a storm in Jiuzhou before it is released!

"Will it be released on June 17?"

"Yes."

Generally, movies will be released in Jiuzhou shortly after the premiere of the film festival, and the audience will not have to wait too long.

The premiere on June 17th, first of all, is to take care of the Xiazhou student party audience first, the college entrance examination will end on the 8th, and the high school entrance examination will end on the 16th.

The second is to include the period with the highest traffic in the summer season.

"Okay."

Zheng Qing nodded, there must be plenty of time for film editing.

As long as everything goes well, the movie will be publicly scheduled soon.

Nowadays, the number of fans in Xiazhou who are looking forward to Lin Qiu's new work is too terrifying.

Once this film is successful, Lin Qiu will reach the top of the Xiazhou film industry!

Of course, with only "Hachiko" as a film that is not a big hit in Jiuzhou box office, Lin Qiu does not have much appeal in the Jiuzhou film market for the time being, and can only be said to have a certain degree of popularity.

Zheng Qing looked at Lin Qiu, "What are your plans after the New Year?"

Lin Qiu only said three words:

"The Generals of the Yang Family."

Zheng Qing said in surprise, "Will it be filmed after the New Year?"

As early as on the plane, Lin Qiu had thought about this matter.

"I was just about to talk about this."

"Mom, starting from the new year, Chang'an will open a 'Yang Family Generals Training Camp'."

"Actors will be recruited openly in the entire entertainment industry."

Hearing Lin Qiu's words, Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment:

"Ah?"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Qiu introduced carefully, "It is a training camp specially established to select actors for roles in TV series, which will last for about three to four months."

"During these three to four months, no less than 12 hours of closed courses will be conducted every day, including training in performance, fighting, equestrianism, ancient music, traditional culture, body shaping and other aspects.

"The Yang Family Generals is a costume TV series. I want to make it a classic, and casting is very important."

Zheng Qing was completely stunned when she heard Lin Qiu's serious words.

Mainly, there has never been such a training camp in the entire entertainment industry!

"Will there be actors coming?"

"In this case, well-known actors should not be able to come. "

"There will definitely be actors. Although costume dramas are not historical documentaries and will not completely follow history, if we want to make them into classics, we can't just make the so-called ancient heroes boiled chickens."

Lin Qiu has thought it over carefully.

The two most criticized points of "Young Generals of the Yang Family" in the previous life were that the first point was that it did not respect historical facts and the logic in the play was confusing.

For this, Lin Qiu will modify and integrate some of the more classic stories of the Yang Family Generals that have been circulated in the previous life.

It is now almost done and will be completed after the new year.

As for the audience who criticizes for not respecting historical facts, there is no need to do so.

The TV series or movies themselves will be artistically processed.

And the stories passed down by the Yang Family Generals have been artistically processed.

In the previous life, the legend of the Yang Family Generals was based on the Song Dynasty, and was based on the deeds of three generations of the Yang family, Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao and Yang Wenguang, who guarded the northern border and served the country with loyalty.

After a long period of development, it was adapted and fabricated by people in the past dynasties, and added characters and plots.

So Lin Qiu would directly change the name of this TV series to "The Legend of the Yang Family Generals" to prevent nitpicking.

If you really want to argue, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the previous life is also not historical facts, but it does not affect its classic status.

This is the second point that the previous life "Young Yang Family Generals" was criticized for, the actors.

In the previous life, the actors in this drama, although they are all familiar actors, are really far from the ancient generals.

There is a saying: "As long as the flying general of Longcheng is here, the Hu horse will not be allowed to cross the Yinshan Mountains!"

Both the body and temperament must be there.

Including fighting scenes, circus, etc., all must be professionally trained, otherwise all let the stand-ins?

"Mom, I'm not exaggerating. Your son still has a certain influence in the Xiazhou entertainment circle."

"Some well-known actors may not be able to attend the training camp due to schedules, status, etc., but the entertainment circle will never lack actors."

Lin Qiu said seriously.

The most abundant thing in the entire entertainment circle is actors. Although 1% of the actors seen by the audience are well-known actors, there are still 99% unknown actors and outdated actors!

With Lin Qiu's current fame in Xiazhou, if he publicly announces the filming of a TV series, the role will definitely be fought over!

Will these 99% of actors give up this opportunity?

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Zheng Qing hesitated.

At this moment, Zheng Qing couldn't help thinking.

It is obvious that his son can gain fame and fortune by filming a movie, and he can be famous all over the world.

According to what Lin Qiu said, the difficulty of filming "The Legend of the Yang Family Generals" is much more difficult than filming a movie like "Hachiko" or "Truman"!

"Sure."

"I want the audiences of Jiuzhou all over the world to witness the story of Xiazhou."

Lin Qiu smiled confidently.

After the release of "Truman" in June, Lin Qiu was confident that he would have a certain influence in Jiuzhou.

Lin Qiu was determined to shoot.

The first point was that he simply wanted to film the loyal and heroic story of the Yang family in this world.

The second point was that the audience was wide and suitable for all ages.

The third point was to use his influence to bring the cultural stories of Xiazhou to the Jiuzhou world!

"Hasn't Jiuzhou always been unimpressed by the style of local film and television dramas in Xiazhou?"

"Who said that?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not."

Lin Qiu showed a confident smile.

In the previous life, until 2022, what was the number one domestic film at the domestic and overseas box office?

Douban scored only 8 points, and "Hero" was released 20 years ago.

At that time, it was a crazy cut of 150 million US dollars.

"Hero", released in 2002, tells the story of the seven heroes of Yan, Zhao, Chu, Han, Wei, Qi, and Qin fighting for hegemony and assassinating the King of Qin in the late Warring States Period!

In China, it was even considered a bad movie for a time, but it won praise abroad.

Of course, there are many factors that contributed to the success of this movie at the overseas box office, but Lin Qiu doesn't believe that Jiuzhou can't accept the ancient costume style.

It's a pity that there was no ancient movie that could be called a masterpiece in the previous life.

Otherwise, Lin Qiu would definitely reproduce it on a larger and more exquisite scale and bring it to the Jiuzhou world.

"Okay!"

"Since you have decided so, then mom supports you."

Zheng Qing said without hesitation.

The entire Chang'an is the kingdom conquered by Lin Qiu.

Zheng Qing will fully support all Lin Qiu's decisions!

Now the entire industry knows that the film and television dramas produced by Chang'an cannot be stuffed with actors.

But now "The Legend of the Yang Family Generals" gives actors a fair chance to compete!

...

In the music department.

Tang Anning's eyes are very close to Lin Qiu. Usually, when he looks at her from a distance, he already thinks that Tang Anning's eyes are smart and beautiful.

Now their foreheads are touching, and at a distance where you can hear their breath, you can clearly see Tang Anning's long eyelashes, blinking gently.

Although Lin Qiu would make a video call in his free time during these three months.

But for a couple in love, it was really a drop in the bucket.

When he saw Tang Anning running towards him like a happy little deer, Lin Qiu immediately gave her a long and passionate French kiss.

Tang Anning bit her lower lip tightly, but her face was full of happiness.

For a girl like Xiao Tang who had never experienced the taste of love, the magic of love was irresistible.

"After the New Year, let's live in the new home together?"

Tang Anning's eyes were a little evasive, and her cheeks were red, "Ah..."

"Oh..."

In September and October, Lin Qiu asked Brother Xiong to find a house for him.

Before leaving Xizhou, Lin Qiu waved his hand and bought a small villa with a good location.

It was in the villa area less than 20 minutes away from Chang'an Film and Television Company.

Anyway, Lin Qiu's parents rarely lived at home, so Lin Qiu simply moved out and lived with Xiao Tang.

Although it has only been less than four months since they broke the window paper, the two have known each other and have been ambiguous for a long time.

…

At the same time.

Yanjing Airport.

"Fuck Niederlingqiu!"

"You won't answer your father's call, right!"

"Aren't you all back in Xiazhou?"

The cold wind in January is bleak.

Zhou Kai stood shivering in the cold wind and cursed loudly.

"I'll blanch it!"

"Where's my dad?"

"Why don't you answer the phone!"

"No matter what, my card is not in arrears!"

Zhou Kai raised his phone and shook it.

Not only was Lin Qiu having a passionate French kiss with Xiao Tang, but she didn't receive a call from Zhou Kai.

Even his own father said a week ago that he would take Zhou Kai back to Xiazhou.

There is no trace at this moment, not even a hair is seen.

It wasn't until Zhou Kai took a taxi while cursing and saluting alone that he returned home. After opening the door, he discovered that his father and mother were having a candlelight dinner, and his mother looked happy.

When Dad saw Zhou Kai, he was surprised at first, and then suddenly said:

"Xiao Kai? How did you..."

"Oh! Yes!"

"Today, the 20th, you go back to Xiazhou!"

"hiss……"

"Sorry, I was busy and forgot!"

Zhou Kai stood at the door of his house in a daze, with a mouthful of old blood almost spurting out!

…

The first rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala is very critical.

Because there are many programs in the rehearsal, even if it is a program that passes, you have to see the live effect before making a decision.

It is normal for the Spring Festival Gala program to undergo large-scale changes during rehearsals.

Seeing Lin Qiu and Tang Anning arriving, the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal hall was very lively!

"Lin Qiu! Xiao Tang! Long time no see!"

Although Sun Qin and Lin Qiu are not close friends, their friendship is deep in the music circle.

Lin Qiu has written more than one song for Sun Qin so far, and Sun Qin is very grateful.

In particular, this tear-jerking song "Where Has the Time Gone" directly led Sun Qin to book a program for the Spring Festival Gala. This is a great kindness.

"Brother Sun, you sing really well."

Lin Qiu gave a thumbs up. After listening to this song in the audience just now, Lin Qiu felt a little emotional.

Sun Qin's singing style itself is that soulful style, which is perfect for interpreting this song.

Sun Qin immediately laughed and said, "That's because you wrote the song well. I can't be too embarrassed."

"Let's have something to eat together after the rehearsal is over tonight?"

"Xiao Tang, let's come together."

Sun Qin doesn't know that Lin Qiu and Tang Anning are in love, he only knows that they are very good friends.

In the entertainment industry, the reason why many actor couples choose not to make their relationship public is not because they are afraid of losing fans, but because they are afraid of putting their relationship in front of the public, unlike popular celebrities.

You know, no one can guarantee that their relationship will last and be stable. What if it becomes public and they break up after three months?

This is nothing unusual in the world of ordinary people.

"OK."

"Okay, I'll wait for you and listen to your song."

Sun Qin said looking forward to it.

After all, Lin Qiu's songs seemed to be few that were suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, so he must have written a new song.

After greeting several singers in the studio, Lin Qiu and Tang Anning got into the rehearsal process.

But the song "The Most Dazzling National Style" immediately brought the entire rehearsal hall into high spirits!

"the vast horizon is my love!"

"The flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills!"

When the song reached its climax, the melodious music of "The Most Dazzling National Style" immediately made Sun Qin couldn't help but sway!

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, let me keep you with my heart!"

Lin Qiu picked up the microphone and sang three words vigorously:

"stay!"

…

Senseless.

No singer in the studio could imagine that Lin Qiu and Tang Anning would present such a song!

You know, what kind of singer was Lin Qiu in the past?

It is the image of a young man holding a guitar and singing "Ordinary Friends" in a sunny manner.

Tang Anning is a popular little diva who is good at singing and dancing!

But it was these two young people who got high on the stage!

"Can Lin Qiu write this kind of song?"

"No, how many words did Lin Qiu sing in total?"

"stay!"

"stay!"

In the second half, Sun Qin was infected and shouted together:

"stay!"

The last few lyrics of "yo la la ho la bah, ira su la ho la bah" made the studio, both the program team and some singers, completely immersed in the ocean of music.

This song "The Most Dazzling National Style" has such magic power!

…

When the flowers waiting for the snow have reached the plum blossom season again.

When the snow falls again, it’s the plum blossom season.

It’s Spring Festival again.

At this time of year, the entire Xiazhou traffic will face the greatest test.

After all, the Spring Festival is the most important festival in Xiazhou. It is the only time of year for reunions.

Many workers have been busy away from home for a year and just want to go back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.

More than ten years ago, the Spring Festival travel season always made it difficult for many workers to return to their hometowns because transportation was not very convenient.

As Xiazhou becomes more and more developed, there are not many workers who cannot get tickets during the Spring Festival travel period or are reluctant to pay to go home, but there are still such a group of people every year.

Even so, even though they are thousands of miles apart, these workers will still video chat with their families to spend this wonderful Spring Festival.

Yanjing.

The dormitory at the construction site was a little deserted, and most of the workers went home one after another.

Wang Wei held a mobile phone in his rough hand and greeted the relatives gathered on New Year's Eve, "Oh!"

"I didn't get the ticket, right? It's for the second grade of junior high school!"

"Don't worry, I'll be back in my second year of junior high. Wait for me to drink when I get back!"

On the other end of the phone, the wife and the old mother both smiled and said:

"Then how are you spending your time tonight?"

Wang Wei smiled honestly and said: "There are still a few workers at the construction site. Their homes are too far away and they are not willing to spend money to go back."

"Let's have a drink together tonight and watch the Spring Festival Gala."

"Hey, where's the brat?"

The wife looked outside and replied:

"The brat went to the bookstore early in the morning to buy books. I guess he'll be back soon?"

Of course Wang Wei knows which book his son likes to read, "Harry Potter?"

The wife nodded, "Yes."

"Your son really likes watching "Harry Potter". He watches it all day long. Today is the release of the fifth one. Your son also has several classmates who went to work early in the morning. He is very active. He is so active in studying. It’s just good.”

"Is the bookstore still open on New Year's Eve?"

"It's open. It won't close until four in the afternoon."

"Then I'll call you when that brat comes back."

"good."

…

The fifth part of the "Harry Potter" series, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," has finally reached its release date under the much-anticipated attention of fans in Kyushu!

This "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" has the largest number of words in the "Harry Potter" series.

The first "Philosopher's Stone" only had about 250,000 words, but "Order of the Phoenix" has a full 700,000 words!

"Boss! Give me a copy of Harry Potter!"

"Boss! Is the "Harry Potter" I ordered here?"

"boss!"

"Here it comes! Here it comes! Don't worry! There's plenty of stock, you've got everything!"

In Shanghai, outside a physical bookstore, there were people queuing up to buy Harry Potter.

Even in the cold and windy weather, there was still a long queue.

Since the "Harry Potter" series exploded in Xiazhou, starting from the third volume, every release has been basically like this!

After the experience of the first two parts that were in short supply, many physical store owners have learned from it.

Because they understand a truth:

That is, it is impossible for "Harry Potter" not to sell!

Anyway, if you put it in the store and sell it early and late, you can sell it, so why not just buy more goods, at least don't be in short supply!

Especially today is New Year's Eve, and these physical bookstores will close in the afternoon.

Some stores don’t even open on the first or second day of the Lunar New Year, and they won’t open until the third day of the Lunar New Year, so the volume on the first day must be enough!

All the fans in Xiazhou know this truth.

Since the fifth part comes out first, let’s buy it and take it home first!

Otherwise, you may not be able to buy it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

You know, the Chinese New Year period is still quite boring for many people.

If there is a "Harry Potter" to accompany this time, it will be a killer!

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

The fans waiting in line at the back could hear the readers buying books in front of them exclaiming.

One by one, they hurriedly stretched out their heads to look forward, not knowing what was going on.

"Brother in front, what's going on?"

"Dude in front!"

"The old thief is really too conceited. Look at how thick this movie is!"

Fans who bought the fifth "Harry Potter" at the front displayed the books generously.

When seeing the thickness of this fifth part, all the fans were pleasantly surprised:

"Fuck!"

"Thicker than the fourth one!"

The first three "Harry Potter" books were all under 300,000 words, but starting from the fourth one, the number of words increased sharply, reaching just over 500,000 words. This fifth one is even more exaggerated, reaching 700,000 words!

The key thing is that the price is not too different, the price is only 39.8 yuan!

For a physical book with 700,000 words, this price is certainly not expensive, and can even be said to be extremely conscientious.

Outside this bookstore in Shanghai, a couple was stopping.

Zhou Siyu and Xiangxiang.

Zhou Siyu is that old thief book fan who is sure that the old thief will make a move in the fifth "Harry Potter".

During this period of time, fans of Lao Thief have been running around telling each other that they fully believe that Lao Thief will take action in this film.

They all agreed to each other not to buy or read books on New Year’s Eve!

Three chapters of agreement!

But at this moment, Xiangxiang saw the desire in Zhou Siyu's eyes and couldn't help but snicker.

As Zhou Siyu's girlfriend, Xiangxiang really didn't believe that Zhou Siyu could resist such temptation!

"weekly."

"or……"

"Buy it back first and keep it there?"

Xiangxiang reminded with a smile.

Zhou Siyu came back to his senses instantly, nodded righteously and said:

"That makes sense!"

"I'll just buy it and I won't look at it!"

"You can't break the agreement between me and my brothers."

After saying that, Zhou Siyu couldn't wait to rush to the queue and started rubbing his hands to line up.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Siyu got this thick copy of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

The first time I got this book, it was like Pandora's box, tempting Zhou Siyu to open it!

When he arrived at home, Zhou Siyu sat on the sofa with the book "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" in front of him. His eyes were serious, and he was obviously having a serious ideological struggle!

Xiangxiang said from the side:

"or?"

"Just watch for a while?"

Zhou Siyu heard this and nodded, "Yeah!"

"I'll just read one page! I won't read it in detail!"

Xiangxiang was stunned and murmured:

"Why do I seem to have heard this before?"

"I think I've heard it before?"

...
