Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Just when Huang Ting took the music score to the teacher for help, Nie Wei was sitting in the conference room listening to the report of the staff below. At 0:00 that day, "Inception", which had been in theaters for a full hundred days, was finally released.

Although this movie is still able to earn about 300,000 box office figures every day, in Nie Wei's opinion, there is no need to keep grinding.

"Inception" ended at midnight yesterday, and the mainland box office totaled 3.517 billion. In Nie Wei's view, even if it is released until the end of the year, it will not be able to break through 3.6 billion. Ten to twenty million is not enough for the total box office. It has no impact on the performance. On the contrary, if it is released for a long time to impact the box office performance, it will attract some criticism.

Moreover, after it is released in theaters, it will also be convenient for broadcasting on online platforms and selling limited edition DVD gift boxes.

"The current box office statistics in North America are US$322 million. The total box office in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is about 600 million Chinese dollars. The specific figures are still waiting for detailed report feedback from the theaters. The box office in South Korea and Japan is about 780 million US dollars. Ten million Hua Xia coins, the specific number also needs to wait for detailed reports from local theaters, and in Europe, about 500 million..."

"In addition, in terms of peripheral products, the 10,000 sets of "Inception" limited edition gift boxes that were launched at midnight yesterday were all sold out at 33:30 in the morning. Regarding the online release of the movie, we have also been negotiating with major websites and it is going very smoothly. Estimated revenue is over 50 million.”

When the staff was reporting the data, Nie Wei also calculated in his mind that the total global box office of "Inception" was probably around 7.7 billion Chinese dollars.

Ranked sixth on the global box office list.

This is the best result that a Chinese film has ever achieved in the global box office rankings. Not only did it enter the top 100, it even ranked in the top ten.

The box office record of 3.5 billion has also raised the record for the highest box office of a Chinese film by a large margin.

Now everyone is discussing how high the box office will be for Nie Wei's next movie, four billion or five billion?

This voice is difficult to influence Nie Wei, and it cannot put any pressure on Nie Wei, because Nie Wei knows very well that with the rapid development of the domestic film industry, the box office of future movies will only get higher and higher.

Now it seems that the unattainable goal of 3.5 billion will become within reach in just a few years. Before Nie Wei was reborn, there were three movies in one summer that had a box office of more than 2 billion. Billions of movies.

As someone who knows the future, Nie Wei knows that the rapid development period of the Chinese film market will last at least ten years.

"By the way, there is a monthly exam for trainees today, right?" After listening to the report and announcing that the meeting was adjourned, Nie Wei suddenly asked someone on the side.

"Yes, Mr. Nie, are you going to take a look?" the person in question quickly replied.

Nie Wei is very busy. He can spare half an hour, but more time will affect his satellite car for the day. The trainee exam does not end in half an hour. It will take at least half a day, and he I didn’t know when Zhou Duoduo would take the exam, so I thought about it and refused.

"No, give me a report of the assessment results when the time comes." Nie Wei ordered.

Although he couldn't watch Zhou Duoduo's performance live, he was still very concerned about his sister's performance.

On the other side, Huang Ting was already waiting for Teacher Huang's arrival in the office. After explaining the situation, Teacher Huang was surprised.

"You want me to help you produce a song? Or is it an original song?"

"Well, it's a song written by Duoduo's brother." Huang Ting answered honestly.

"Is her brother a famous musician? Here are the songs, show them to me." Upon hearing this, Teacher Huang became interested and immediately asked for the music score.

When Huang Ting heard this, she was extremely happy. She rummaged through her pocket to find the music score and replied, "I don't know, but Duoduo said that her brother seems to be working abroad, but he doesn't seem to have anything to do with the entertainment industry."

When Huang Ting was talking, she didn't notice that Teacher Huang's face suddenly changed from the cheerful look to losing interest.

If the person who wrote this song is an insider, a well-known musician, Teacher Huang may be happy to help, but as an outsider who has nothing to do with this circle, Teacher Huang has nothing to do with the song. Looking forward to it.

"It's probably another joke to tease my sister." Teacher Huang thought to himself.

Thinking of this, she also became a little angry at Huang Ting who asked her for help. She felt that this trainee was really ungrateful and even made him feel that he was being looked down upon. She thought about how much Huang Ting looked down on her. Only then did I find this kind of crappy song and let myself produce it.

This Teacher Huang, named Huang Lu, was originally a singer and musician, but her development was not very smooth after her debut. She released an original album, which only sold less than 2,000 copies, and then nothing happened.

After three years of hard work, the company had no intention of releasing a second album for her, and the company rejected all the singles she wrote. In desperation, she was forced to make a living, so she had to think about transitioning behind the scenes and becoming a trainee. teacher.

After all, if you become a teacher, you will at least have a stable income, nearly 10,000 yuan a month, which is much better than the days when you worked hard to perform commercials and traveled half of China in a month to earn a few thousand yuan.

However, being a teacher is not something you can just do if you want to. She also has a relationship with a senior executive of Huayi, and her own musical literacy is really good, so she finally got the job of being a teacher for trainees. Chance.

However, she was arrogant and only regarded this teaching as a "transitional" career. She felt that her heart was still in the entertainment industry. With her musical talent, she would definitely be able to write a good song, and then become a big star. When the time comes, she will stand on the stage of the Bird's Nest and let 100,000 people cheer her name together.

"Teacher, teacher?"

"Ah?"

"I found the music score, this is it." Huang Ting handed the music score to Huang Lu and said thank you sweetly. Unfortunately, Huang Lu just rolled her eyes at her. Not only was she not touched by the sweetness, but she was a little disgusted.

Huang Lu thought to herself that these girls were just relying on their youth. If she were ten years younger, her smile would definitely be sweeter than hers.

Huang Lu looked down on Huang Ting and simply turned half a circle in her chair and turned sideways to look at the music score. At first, she didn't read it seriously at all. She just thought it was a piece of waste paper that wasted her precious time. But after reading a few notes and subconsciously humming a few sentences, her expression gradually became much more serious.

"Let's learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow, and act like a spoiled child in front of you, oh meow meow meow meow..."

This is a catchy song. Huang Lu had an idea in her mind immediately after reading the score carefully. However, catchy songs do not mean poor quality. In fact, it is not easy to write catchy songs well, and it can even be said to be a very difficult thing.

Because catchy songs must be easy to sing, they cannot use too complicated melodies, and they must also be pleasant to listen to. Using simple notes to compose pleasant melodies is a task that tests the composer's ability.

Huang Lu can see that the composer who wrote this song is very good.

Just from his segmentation of the song, it can be seen that because the main song is a little bland, the chorus is deliberately placed in the first paragraph, striving to catch the audience's ears in the first paragraph.

Then, because the first paragraph of the chorus is laid out, the blandness of the main song is not a mistake, but it sounds very sweet, just like a boy expressing his pampering for his girlfriend.

As for the lyrics, although simple, they are catchy, and the repeated meow meow meow meow makes Huang Lu feel fresh in her memory after just watching and singing it once.

Such songs are definitely not classics, but they definitely have the potential to become popular.

Just like "Two Butterflies" and "Mouse Loves Rice" back then, it will give the audience a kind of addiction.

"Teacher, how is it?" Huang Ting looked at Huang Lu who had been looking at the music score for a long time without saying anything, especially from her angle she couldn't see Huang Lu's expression, she felt a little uneasy and couldn't help asking.

"This song..." Huang Lu subconsciously wanted to praise it, but when she saw Huang Ting, she suddenly hesitated.

"Your song is so bad, and the lyrics are all so weird, there is no meaning at all. Leave the song with me first, and I will see if there is any way to help you improve it. But don't expect too much, the song is not of high quality, and it is obviously written by an amateur."

"You go back first, alas, if I were not your teacher, I would not go to the trouble of helping you change the song." Huang Lu frowned and sighed, looking very embarrassed.

Huang Ting was shocked by Huang Lu's words, and really thought that the song was not very good. On the one hand, she was grateful to Huang Lu for her "enthusiastic help", and on the other hand, she felt that Brother Duoduo was really unreliable.

Originally, she came to Huang Lu's office with expectations, but when the results came out, Huang Ting was full of disappointment.

When Huang Ting returned to the practice room, the teacher was already organizing the exam. Huang Ting had no time to talk to Zhou Duoduo and Mu Han about the song, and was scolded by the team leader for being late.

Huang Ting was in Class A, and was assessed separately from the other classes.

At this moment, Zhou Duoduo and Mu Han in Class B were waiting for their turn in the corridor. Because the order was arranged according to the time when the trainees entered Class B, their numbers were in the middle.

"I don't know if Huang Tingting is going well. Do you think that teacher Huang is willing to help us?" The two sat on the bench in the corridor and chatted.

"It should be no problem. If she doesn't help, it doesn't matter. We can just find a recording studio and spend some money." Zhou Duoduo was not worried. After all, this was a song written by her brother himself. She felt that even if it was not produced, it would sound good to sing it a cappella.

"Duoduo, Mu Han, what are you talking about?" A trainee in the same class heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously. Mu Han and Zhou Duoduo hurriedly covered it up and explained that it was not an important matter.

The two were afraid that the conversation would be heard by others, so they found an excuse to go to the toilet and hid in a corner near the safety passage where no one was.

"I was scared to death. I almost thought our plan was exposed." Mu Han patted his chest with a scared expression.

Zhou Duoduo looked similar. The live broadcast, especially the singing of original songs, had been unanimously recognized by the three-person group as the top secret of their small group.

They did this to increase their influence among the trainees, and of course they didn't want to be exposed in advance.

"It's just that you spoke too loudly just now."

"You also talked about the recording studio. They might have guessed it."

"No way? Definitely not."

The two complained to each other for a few words, worried for a while, and then put their minds on the assessment for a while.

The two have been in Class B for a few months. They think they are among the top students. In this monthly exam, not only Zhou Duoduo, but Mu Han also thinks that they have a good chance of entering Class A.

This is also the biggest goal of the two in the near future.

After all, in Huayi, only those who enter Class A are qualified to debut. If you can't even enter Class A, then you don't even have the qualifications to debut, so how can you talk about debuting.

"Duoduo, you dance so well. The teacher praised you in the last exam. You will definitely be able to enter Class A this time. I am different. I can't sing as well as Huang Ting, and I can't dance as well as you. I am so mediocre."

Zhou Duoduo looked at Mu Han, who was full of negative energy, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her friend was like this. The more nervous she was, the more pessimistic she became, and the more pessimistic she was, the more nervous she became.

So Zhou Duoduo decided to wake her up.

"So you are funny." After thinking for a long time, Zhou Duoduo thought of one of Mu Han's advantages.

"Who wants to be funny? I want to be an idol! An idol of youth and invincibility!" Mu Han was furious. She hated people calling her funny, even though she was usually confused and had a talent for being funny without knowing it.

"Okay, you are an idol. I was wrong. You are not funny. You are just humorous." Seeing Mu Han getting angry, Zhou Duoduo quickly comforted her and took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and handed it to Mu Han.

Mu Han hesitated for a moment. She was not going to take the chocolate, but the brand of chocolate in Zhou Duoduo's hand was her favorite. After thinking about it, Mu Han still felt that eating was important.

"You only know how to bully me." Mu Han complained while eating chocolate. He was just like a little punching bag. People just wanted to bully him more.

Just when Zhou Duoduo was itching and was about to tease Mu Han again, she heard someone in the corridor in the distance calling her and Mu Han's names.

"Stop it, it's our turn."

"Let's go, let's go."

The two responded to the call while running back. Before they knew it, they had been chatting for more than an hour.

Each time the trainees were assessed, they entered in groups of five, sometimes six, mainly depending on the number of trainees in the team. For example, Zhou Duoduo and Mu Han had already signed up for a team performance project when they signed up for the assessment. Naturally, the company did as they wished and put the two in the same assessment group.

Before entering the door, the two held hands and used force at the same time, obviously wanting to encourage each other. This tacit understanding made the two smile at each other, and the tension in their hearts was reduced a lot.

However, when Zhou Duoduo stepped into the door of the practice room and saw the people sitting at the examiner's seat, she suddenly felt unwell.
