Chapter 398 Wang Fei’s career and image of the young couple

The discussion at the wine bureau will probably have an impact on a few people's minds for a while. The biggest advantage is that Wang Jinghua can have more studios. Even Jiang Wen and Xu Ke are tempted, but they are still reserved at best.

The downside may be that Wang Jinghua’s reputation as the number one agent in her previous life will probably no longer exist. Under Wang Chao’s system, it has developed somewhat in the direction of CAA. The connections between various studios and the cooperation in front of and behind the scenes have become Wang Chao’s greatest competitiveness.

Others look for people everywhere when making movies, but Wang Chao has become a packaged service, which is much more professional, but correspondingly, there is much less room for maneuver.

The art industry, why capital is willing to support it, apart from being good-looking and fun, is actually more about economic considerations. Let’s not talk about whether it can make money, but whether it can do that and that is the key.

And Wang Chao's system made this operation countless times more complicated. But this method is a big plus for those behind the scenes, especially those who are purely technical behind the scenes.

This also makes Wang Jinghua have many purely technical studios. There are currently two music studios, three lighting studios, two makeup studios, three art studios, two costumes, one special effects studio, one logistics studio, one props studio, and photography studios. Three, as for the director, well, not yet, but I guess there may be three or four soon.

Basically, if you need anything to make a film, you can just go to Wang Chao. However, with so many studios, the original headquarters is a bit busy. Therefore, Wang Chao has been recruiting people like crazy recently.

There are no private film and television companies at this time, and most of the people who come here to look for cooperation are people from Xiangjiang. It’s not that Xiangjiang itself can’t afford it, but Wang Chao’s place is more cost-effective.

How did they know? Wang Fei, Wang Fei has made great contributions in this area. Although she had never said or done anything, the relationship between her and Wang Chao had long been cleared up in Xiangjiang.

This is quite interesting to talk about. In fact, Wang Fei's time in Xiangjiang is not long every year, only a few months. But she has a lot of poker friends, and they are all top celebrities in Hong Kong. Her interpersonal relationships are really good.

In addition, her main markets are actually abroad now. For the Xiangjiang market, she is very Buddhist. She only sells and sells by the way. Basically she does not do anything to make the charts, publish announcements and other operations, leaving it for other artists. There's a lot of space left.

Moreover, she has even followed the example of Zhang Guorong and Sister Mei and announced her withdrawal from the major awards competition in Hong Kong next year. There is nothing she can do, Xiangjiang is too small, and a few superstars can make even the young people in Hong Kong unable to hold their heads up.

The existence of an internationally renowned superstar like Wang Fei in Hong Kong is actually a form of suppression for all female singers in Hong Kong. She has been diligent in releasing records in the past two years, and from time to time she releases singles and hit albums.

It seems that her name has never been on the ranking list. With such a singer, how can others mess around?

Therefore, Sister Ying simply asked Wang Fei to announce her withdrawal from the selection. Except for the sales list, which is not a selection list at all, Wang Fei will no longer appear in other music awards.

This did no harm to Wang Fei, but instead enhanced her status and influence. No one can shake the diva's name. At the same time, Wang Fei's popularity has increased. This kind of singer who knows how to be a good person can always gain everyone's favor.

At the beginning of this year, PolyGram announced Wang Fei's record sales last year. Three records sold an exaggerated 20 million copies worldwide. She won various ranking awards, of which the mainland contributed one-third.

And this year, the latest one has released a new album. The latest album is called "Self".

This is a record produced by Wang Fei herself, and she even chose the cover herself. Wang Xu became a collaborator, and of course he was also one of the producers, but his name was already ranked behind Wang Fei.

There are even two songs written and composed by Wang Fei herself. The style is a bit confusing. She still prefers the psychedelic approach, which is inseparable from her voice, and she is also suitable for this approach.

But in this life, her psychedelia was obviously mixed with Chinese elements. The song "Daughter of Heaven" can be said to be her masterpiece. The musical inspiration from midnight dreams made her singing seem to have more Chinese charm.

Even Wang Xu couldn't analyze where that ethereal fairy spirit came from. Anyway, it happened as soon as she opened her mouth. This made her songs even harder to sing. Many of her songs were The one and only kind.

Of course, the benefits are also great. Several of her self-composed songs are highly praised internationally, especially in Asia, where they have been obsessed with her since childhood.

Well, of course, it’s even worse than Wang Xu. For Wang Xu, that’s the state of a madman and a bitch. Yes, according to the latest statistics, 40% of those who bought Wang Xu’s photo album were men. This news made Wang Xu think so at the time. tight.

This record can be said to be an important node for Wang Fei's transformation. Starting from this record, Wang Fei began to gradually leave Wang Xu's wings. She flew solo, using her own unique taste and style to create herself.

However, she added a song "Invisible Wings" provided by Wang Xu to this record to illustrate her changes and the support behind her.

These changes are of course supported and even encouraged by Wang Xu. Wang Fei was never an obedient girl who could be manipulated by others. What Wang Xu likes will always be the maverick, distinctive, and even rebellious Wang Fei.

Although this record has a bit of experimental nature, it is not very experimental. The title songs are "Red Beans", "Angel Wings", "Invisible Wings" and "Tick Tock", which are still popular. The kind that can be sung.

Then there are a few songs she wrote herself, "Myself", "Obeyance", and "Yesanpo". These songs are Wang Fei's attempt to get out of other people's stereotypes. They have no skills and are all songs of sentiment.

This is something that even Wang Xu couldn't write. It's just like the song "Wild Son" written by amateurs in later generations. That kind of song is a song that comes from pure perception. There are no routines. It just depends on talent.

And Wang Fei's talent began to be stimulated bit by bit. This is what Wang Xu is most happy about. She will witness the birth of a more dazzling Wang Fei beside her.

Especially since Whitney came to China and brought her unique soul singing style, Wang Fei was greatly inspired. Although her voice is not as rich as Whitney, it has a different kind of etherealness.

Wang Fei integrates soul singing into psychedelic rock, coupled with her own fairy-like and unique voice quality. When listening to the song, almost just one sentence will make people feel numb.

Not surprisingly, the album sold out, dominated the charts again, and received rave reviews from various commentators. But if you look closely, you will find that half of the sales of this album were created in the mainland.

In just two months, the global sales of this record exceeded 10 million, and the mainland sold an astonishing 3.5 million single copy, which is almost one-third of that record.

Xiangjiang has 400,000, Wanwan has over one million, Xiaoli has 1.5 million, Bang has 500,000, Southeast Asia has nearly 2 million, and Mainland has 3.5 million.

This was an astonishing miracle. Not only did Wang Fei and Wang Xu feel extremely surprised, but even PolyGram felt unexpected. This is the first time that Wang Fei has been able to sell products without shortage in the mainland. In the past, pirated products sold faster than genuine products.

This time, at least the original version is not out of stock. Although there are more pirated copies, some people estimate that in China alone, pirated copies of Wang Fei's record have sold at least tens of millions.

Most people are surprised by the sales of records, but record companies have also seen the real market in the mainland. This level of market is simply not comparable to that of Hong Kong.

Even though piracy is everywhere, there are still business opportunities everywhere. In addition, some co-produced films from the Mainland have been lifted from the ban in Wanwan and can officially appear in theaters in Wanwan.

Since then, traveling north has become the latest craze in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

At this time, the vast majority of people and companies in Xiangjiang really had a disdain for the mainland, especially the core area of ​​the entertainment industry, the Imperial Capital, which was both mysterious and terrifying.

Therefore, the first reaction of anyone in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang who wants to go north to make money is to find Wang Chao. This level of recognition cannot be compared to what you can achieve by advertising in newspapers.

Therefore, although Wang Jinghua is the direct contact person of Wang Chao Art and Wang Fei has almost no involvement in the company's management, from the outside world, Wang Fei, the big boss, is really the most important soul of the company.

As for Wang Xu, he is now gradually fading away from Wang Chao's management. Even if something happens, it is Wang Fei who goes home to ask, not Wang Jinghua and the others who go to Wang Xu directly.

Legally speaking, he no longer has any relationship with Wang Chao. Only a small share of the company is in the hands of his mother, and everything else owned by Wang Xu is held by Wang Fei.

In other words, if Wang Fei turns her back and runs away, then Wang Xu will really lose these companies completely.

Is Wang Xu worried? He's worried, shit. Even if he loses these companies, the frustration brought to him may not be as significant as the fact that Wang Fei ran away.

Therefore, he is now more like Wang Chao's collaborator than a big boss. Of course, there will only be more connections inside and behind him, and these will not be known to outsiders.

However, when people from Xiangjiang went north in large numbers, Wang Fei actually went south to Xiangjiang.

This happened around March. Chen Jiaying asked Wang Fei if she would like to star in Wang Jiawei's movie. Wang Fei agreed. Among the directors in Hong Kong, she may have the best impression of Wang Jiawei.

"Carmen in Mong Kok" and "Days of Being Wild" are all the kind of literary and artistic tones that Wang Fei particularly likes. Yes, you can see that Wang Fei smokes and drinks, plays rock music, goes to bars, and loves to go to discotheques, but she is a good girl. I also particularly like Wenqing’s stuff.

In fact, this is really not surprising, because most literary and artistic young people like those things, and literature and art seem to have always been passing by.

Since she likes it, let's coordinate the schedule. In her previous life, she became a famous actor because of this film, although it was also because of this film that she later became unwilling to act in movies.

There is no way, why is Wang Jiawei so hard-working? He is known for tormenting actors. Many scenes are made by grinding. Anyway, his films cost film and actors.

Wang Xu was really doting on Wang Fei, and rearranged the filming plan for her, so that she could finish filming one month in advance and leave the crew to catch the set of "Chungking Express". Of course, she had to come back for the filming dinner.

In fact, Wang Xu's crew's original requirements for actors are not like traditional Chinese crews, where you can't get out after entering. It is more like a Hollywood crew, where everything goes according to plan and people come and go.

Therefore, as long as the schedule is agreed in advance, the schedule can be adjusted. It is not too troublesome to rearrange using software, so the actors do not need to stay on the set all the time.

Zhang Guorong also has a film contract with Wong Kar-wai in "Ashes of Time", but it is later than Wang Fei's film, so there is no need to make any adjustments.

She hurriedly finished filming the scenes in "The Matrix" and went to Hong Kong because she participated in a movie by a director she had always liked, Wang Jiawei's "Chungking Express"

This movie is actually pretty good, and Wang Fei's acting is pretty good. Cui Ying also happens to have short hair, so she doesn't even need to cut her hair this time. Every time I go out, there are a lot of alley aunts commenting on how funny this young couple is. The boy has long hair shawl, and the girl has short hair with ridges.

Wang Fei is actually talented in acting in movies, but this girl is lazy and doesn't like to work very much. He prefers to fall in love and play mahjong. In this life, she has some sense of family responsibility, and she works hard every year to make money so that Wang Xu can lose his family.

Of course, in fact, Wang Xu himself also makes a lot of money. Even if he doesn't go out, his photo album has been sold to Europe.

It is said that it is now fashionable for men to wear women's clothes in Europe. Businessmen in the early days are encouraging Wang Xu to take photos of that. Wang Xu has been hesitating. It's not that he can't wear women's clothes, but the price is obviously not suitable. He is wearing men's clothes. How can it be the same price as wearing women's clothing? You have to pay extra.

Well, this is also Wang Fei's bad taste. Wang Xu deeply suspects that this is the purpose of Wang Fei letting herself grow long hair. (It seems that many girls have this bad taste. If you know, you can tell me)

But it's only the 1990s. Isn't this still the era of women's boxing? Is it possible that LGBT is starting to sprout now? Then Wang Fei wears men's clothing, and Wang Xu wears women's clothing? And then Wang Xu felt uncomfortable about making the two of them the image spokespersons of the future era.

Let's hold it off for now, at least wait until Wang Fei comes back.

Wang Fei has completely let herself go now. She is now the only one in Hong Kong. Not to mention female stars, men have few rivals. Especially in the world, she is the only one.

Her advertising endorsements have begun to expand internationally, but because she has her own fashion brand, she has not taken many of these. But it's a little strange that all kinds of off-road vehicles, big motorcycles, mobile phones, pagers, lighters, whiskey, beer, and even cigarettes are coming to your door.

Chen Jiaying was a little confused when she saw all the invitations. Why does the brand endorsement of Wang Fei always have a sense of gender confusion? Is it because they made a mistake, or we really missed something. No one would ask Wang Xu to endorse lipstick.

As it turned out, it really happened. Dior had already come to the door (Historically, Kimura Takuya endorsed Kanebo lipstick), and Chen Jiaying accepted it. She said she wanted Wang Xu to endorse, and then promote new lipsticks and cosmetics in her small life, earning 3 million dollars a year.

Hiss, this sugar-coated bomb is a bit powerful. Is this sugar-coating too thick? You must know that Wang Xu seemed to have released a few singles in his childhood, not even an album.

Even if his photo album sells well, what's the point?

As a matter of fact, in his previous life, Kimura endorsed Kanebo lipstick and filmed an advertisement in which he applied lipstick himself.

Then, young women went crazy and bought 3 million lipsticks in a month.

You must know that under normal circumstances, a lipstick that can sell 300,000 units is considered a particularly successful product.

Then, a lipstick endorsed by a man cost 3 million, ten times the price, so I asked you if you were convinced.

Since then, the trend of men endorsing women's products has begun. Since then, men have endorsed lipsticks, perfumes, cosmetics, and even underwear.

Wang Xu looked at the contract passed over by Chen Jiaying. Some of it hurt, and some of it was tight. He couldn't understand it, but he was shocked.

It's just that this incredible wealth came a little early. Forget it, don’t worry, let’s wait until the movie is released.

His look in that film, how should I put it, is a mixture of cool, handsome and charming, which absolutely subverts the psychological cognition of ordinary people.

In Wang Xu's version of "The Matrix", Ni Ao, played by Wang Xu, is an elite hacker and a computer expert, but he is not diligent in all aspects of his life, does not distinguish between grains, and the house is in chaos.

Moreover, because he found out some truths about the world early on, but was unable to communicate with others, he felt fearful and restless, and was a sociophobic character.

He has long hair just because he doesn't like to go out or interact with people. He always lives alone. He doesn't even have a job and makes money by providing various hacking services to others online.

So at this time, under Wang Xu's interpretation, he has a sense of anxious tension, which is arousing pity. Coupled with Wang Xu's androgynous face and slightly messy hair, he really has a sense of feminine weakness. exist.

But Cui Ying is a strong-willed, resolute and courageous female warrior. After being pulled out of the virtual world by Murphy, she has been engaged in front-line combat missions and is Ni Ao's military instructor.

But at the end of the film, Ni Ao grew up into a real warrior and experienced hundreds of battles. In the end, he bravely braved the dragon pool and the tiger's den, showing his heroic spirit.

However, Cui Ying gradually fell in love with Wang Xu through constant contact and care for this new comrade, and gradually showed the softness and gentleness of women. After being rescued from danger by Ni Ao, she fell in love with Wang Xu completely. Fucked him.

In the end, the two failed to become dependents and lived together happily. The fairy tale did not happen and the war was still cruel. Cuiying put on a mask that symbolized strength and became a resistance fighter again.

The personality change of the two people is actually a highlight of the entire film, and of course their love is even more so. Anyway, Wang Xu himself is satisfied with this change.

But this seems to have become a catalyst for the two people's image of being neither male nor female. Wang Xu feels a little pessimistic about his future image. I'm afraid it will be difficult to change this.
