Chapter 272 Praise is like a tide
From last year, he took over the movie "Old Friends and Ghosts". With his witty performance, he finally became popular after eight years of hardships. Taking advantage of this trend, he released a new Cantonese album, and won the bronze award for the Best Newcomer Award of the Top Ten Golden Songs. At the same time, because of Zhou Xingchi's popularity now, he is known as "Zhou Xingchi's second" Zhang Wei Jian is very optimistic about major film manufacturers. Speaking of which, he is also very proud now.
As soon as we met, he was asked to shave his head. What should he do if he wanted to make a movie? More importantly, Chen Jin didn't tell him about acting at all. The two just exchanged a few words, and Chen Jin suddenly said such a sentence.
Wang Jing immediately understood that Chen Jin was basically sure that the second male protagonist would be played by this lucky boy. He waved Zhang Weijian, who was still stunned, and threw the script in his hand on the stage. "Look at the script first. Ah KING wrote it himself. It's a big production of 60 million yuan. You are one of the two male protagonists."
The big production of 60 million was enough to scare Zhang Weijian. He was not formal and answered with a smile, "No, Director Wang, 60 million, don't scare me. I'm dizzy when I hear six million."
Wang Jing saw his answer and inadvertent movements, and her eyes lit up. It was really interesting. Chen Jin also smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "It's just 60 million Hong Kong dollars. You don't have to be so excited. Look at the script first!"
This script is just an outline, and it will soon be finished. Chen Jin and Wang Jing also explained some of the very important details to him. In the end, Zhang Weijian also asked some questions, and the three of them discussed it.
However, this is not finished, and the matter has returned to the original point. Chen Jin must take a look at Zhang Weijian's feeling after shaving his head to decide. That is to say, the matter may not have been decided yet. At least Zhang Weijian thought so in his heart. Chen Jin's words that he collapsed as soon as he met made him more sure.
Chen Jin and Wang Jing both saw his encouragement. Wang Jing glanced at Chen Jin and said with a smile, "You are so colorful. Ah KING is in favor of you. If I don't want to do anything now, I'll get a knife and shave my head first."
"What do you like? It's so ambiguous," Chen Jin smiled and patted Zhang Weijian on the shoulder. "If you want, you have to sacrifice your current image to shave your head first. However, this is not necessarily the final makeup, and you may have to add hair or something."
With the golden signboard of 60 million and Chen Jin, Zhang Weijian, who has been floating for eight years, absolutely gambled and said with a smile, "Brother KING, if you feel dissatisfied later, I will shave my head for the first time. Could you please write two more songs to comfort me?"
He is older than Chen Jin, but he became famous too late. There are many rules in this industry. It doesn't seem too awkward for him to say so.
At the last award ceremony of the top ten golden songs, he was one of the backstage at that time. He was lucky to get two songs, and Chen Jin did not live up to his promise. In the past June, he and others got them. Moreover, they were all great lyrics and songs, and there was no perfunctory intention.
If something suddenly happens later, he will joke that it will still be very useful at that time. Everyone knows that Chen Jin is generous and talented. Maybe he will directly help him finish the album.
Thinking about beautiful things like this, Zhang Weijian said a word and went downstairs happily. At this time, Wang Jing took the initiative to say to Chen Jin: "It feels good, but it's not easy to grasp the dialogue style at all, and it's a large section of lines, body language, and expression. Let's get up
"Natural things can't be forced, but what you want to learn is very simple," Chen Jin smiled and spread his hands. "And he was born for such a role, and he didn't take shape. If he carved it well, he must be very amazing."
Wang Jing didn't say anything about it. What's more, he was not sure himself. In this case, he couldn't say any advice casually. Then he listened to Chen Jin. After Chen Jin finished speaking, he opened the door and asked people to prepare a knitted pocket hat.
Zhang Weijian made up his mind and moved quickly. Shaving his head was not a technical job. In less than ten minutes, the company's hairstylist gave him a clean and put some oil on his head, which looked shiny.
His head shape is very suitable for bald heads, and it doesn't look awkward at all. Of course, this is the feeling of Chen Jin and Wang Jing. As a hair owner, he suddenly shaved, and he is still a little unaccustomed.
"How's it going? Isn't it a little more feeling!" Chen Jin turned his head and looked at Wang Jing with a smile on his face. He asked. Seeing that Wang Jing also nodded happily, he picked up the silver knitted pocket hat and helped Zhang Weijian put it on.
Wang Jing has stood up, nodded excitedly, and asked someone to bring a very short and delicate beard to help Zhang Weijian paste it. Finally, she looked at Chen Jin and smiled, "In this way, it's very good. It's not too green, but also has that kind of humorous taste. Wearing a hat, there is a bonus when the expression is relaxed, but in Yan When it's solemn, it can suppress that kind of fun, which has a cold and humorous meaning.
Chen Jin nodded and was also a little excited. Zhang Weijian, who had been at the mercy of them, didn't know why they were so excited, said, "Well, it's you. Welcome to join the crew of Jedi Cop. Come on!"
"Really!" Zhang Weijian was also a little overjoyed. This is not only a big production, but also cooperation with Chen Jin. Not to mention other things, he will have a little confidence in the future.
At this time, Wang Jing took another thick script on the table to him. "Go back and have a good experience. It is very detailed. I hope you don't let Ah King down. This is a big production of 60 million. It's good for you to know this matter now. Others, even your own father, you have to hide it for the time being. We will inform you to attend the start-up ceremony.
Although Chen Jin didn't want this movie to have a strong black humor, he still told Zhang Weijian, "This is a relatively Westernized movie. You can watch Hollywood comedy movies. How can you express a sense of humor without traces, especially the humor of black people? It may be right to understand it. You have benefits, and the script is compared with Chinese and English. It should be very helpful for you to learn to feel the intonation and rhythm in English.
Wang Jing joked with a smile, "If you can't speak English, you can find a ghost to tell you in his way. Just listen to the feeling. These are all useful."
Although Hong Kong people have been English education since childhood, there are very few people who are really good at English in the entertainment industry. On the one hand, many of them read very little, and on the other hand, there are even fewer people who read very well. Zhang Weijian didn't care about Wang Jing's joke. He nodded excitedly, and finally asked. He said, "This movie really invests 60 million!"
This number is really a little unbelievable, but Chen Jin nodded affirmatively, "Yes, the budget is 60 million, which includes a high salary for you. Work hard. If I do well, I am a generous person and will give you more red envelopes."
This is the most intimate thing. Participating in the big investment of 60 million is famous in itself, but after all, 60 million is not for yourself. Now with this high reward, it is a matter of both fame and fortune. Who is not happy!
The next few days are the final preparations, but most of the things are busy with Wang Jing. Chen Jin also took this opportunity to release the Cantonese album first. He invested in the film for the first time. He was both a producer and producer, and he was still half a director. He had to decide the shooting style at the beginning. As soon as the film was turned on, it must be He is very busy, and he still has a lot of things to do. The Deer Tripod will be released soon. The same is true of Love Hotel, especially the latter, which involves the publicity of South Korea and Japan, which also takes time.
The name of this Cantonese album is "Intimate", in which there are two songs written by himself, and the others are selected from his "Newcomers in the Music World Plan". Although there are six songs that are still big names in the circle, such as Lin Xi, Huang Weiwen and Lei Songde, there are two songs that can come from the folk. That's already a great encouragement.
These two songs are really good, but their songwriters are not really un learned, and can also be regarded as professionals. One is a music teacher in a middle school and the other is a music major at the University of Hong Kong. According to Shirley, this is still a super fan of Chen Jin and a member of the "King's Accompanying". Of course, Chen Jin absolutely has no intention of cronyism. The lyrics are really good.
Chen Jin just wants to have this opportunity for more music practitioners to join in. In fact, there are some talented people in this society. Even if they can't be fully discovered, it is a blessing for the music world.
Of course, the two best lyrics and songs in this album are still made by Chen Jin. One of them is the Cantonese version of "Leaving", which is completely different from Lin Zhixuan's Mandarin "Leaving".
The beautiful words are so sad; the other song is also the album's title of the same name "Intimacy", which was originally intended to be released in July. Chen Jin was the most satisfied, and later took out the Cantonese version of the tender Japanese song. However, this time, Hong Kong people heard it first, so that others would not He also said he was biased!
Two super invincible famous songs, even the Cantonese version of "Handpaper" Chen Jin was useless. He gave it to Zhang Xueyou to sing. As soon as it was on the market, the strong contrast was equally amazing, which shocked the Hong Kong music world in an instant.
A song of fierce sadness and sadness; a song of tenderness like water, sweet ecstasy. It's really been a long time that I haven't had this feeling of feeling of release for a long. After living most of my life, I have a few old friends, but it's hard to find people I admire. Today, I raise my glass to invite the moon and give a KING cup - Gu Jiahui's sadness makes me cry, sweet It also made me cry. Such a fierce emotional collision, it's not that I'm old, but I feel that I'm many years younger. Back to that hot-blooded youth, I no longer need to say more words. Sitting on the balcony, quietly tears, tears and wine, drinking joy and sadness, and intoxicating! - Uncle Ji really can't describe that A kind of inner shock, extreme contrast, extreme emotions, extreme emotions, but he is so perfectly displayed, that kind of heartbreaking, that kind of tenderness. To be honest, he is the king, angel and god in the music world! I love him! - "Music Pioneer" Manny worships. Those little people who maliciously slandered King Chen, maybe the king disdain, but I am happy to see you little boys now. Remember, this is just the beginning of a slap in the face. I hope that next time, you won't take the initiative to put your face up, otherwise, I will be more fortunate. The gloating propaganda, well, in fact, what I disdain is that you really don't have the ability and capital to shake King Chen! - "Oriental Daily" He Zidong's extremely fierce and perfect fusion, there is already a blessing in heaven, and you can hear two such divine songs in one album, Everyone, hurry up and buy two, one to collect, the other to taste, your life is full of sadness and joy, congratulations! - "Entertainment Weekly" Ke Fan's album "Intimacy" was released, and the praises were overwhelming. As Ke Fan said, many people praised these two songs as divine songs. He is also regarded as a super benchmark for Cantonese songs. Both professionals and fans are cheering.
The sharpest thing is the market reaction. In just two days, the album sold five platinum, which is only the sales in Hong Kong. Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, this completely Cantonese album has more than one million sales in a week in these places. This should also be a super record.
Of course, we have to mention that the mainland market has opened up. The Cantonese albums and cass released by Chen Jin began to enter the mainland market in March. The quality of the records and the distributor China Music Publishing House have positioned him as a singer from the mainland to Hong Kong, which made his popularity in the mainland soar. It means to fly to the sky.
Naturally, the sales volume is super good. Unfortunately, the mainland generally buys cassettes, and the price is relatively low. Relatively speaking, the revenue is not so prominent. Only in more than ten years, this market will be the largest market in Asia except Japan.
Record sales are booming, and the results of the list are naturally great. Interestingly, not only in Hong Kong, "Leason" and "Intimacy" firmly occupy the popular list of the music world, the top two of the top ten golden songs, and the top two of the top ten Chinese golden songs, that is, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. Both songs are At the top of the list, you should know that this is a Cantonese song.
What's more interesting is that the album "Li Ren" entered Japan's Oricon's weekly chart for the first time as a Cantonese album. Although it is the sixth place, it is quite difficult.
What's more interesting is that Taiwan fans heard that it was Hong Kong fans who made a fuss first. Chen Jin just released the Cantonese version of "Leave People" and added a super beautiful "Intimacy". Therefore, the Taiwanese media and fans are also advocating that Chen Jin does not pay attention to the Mandarin market and asked to release "Leaving People" and "Pro" immediately. The Mandarin version of "Secret" also has to add another super beautiful song.
Although this is a joke, it also shows the strong expectations of the Mandarin market for the two songs "Li Ren" and "Intimate". Therefore, Chen Jin also said in an interview that if time permits, the Mandarin album originally released in November will be advanced to September! But that's not a promise, because his schedule can't be up to him alone, nor can it be up to his nature.
