Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 603 604 [Love in BC]

   In January 2001, "Youth Bao Qingtian" officially premiered on Yanjing Satellite TV.

   Immediately, with its suspenseful and climaxing stories, the excellent acting skills of the actors, and the elaborate production of the behind-the-scenes team, it quickly attracted the attention of the audience.

  The ratings are as high as 10%, not only the first in the same period, but also the first in the whole year. The results are quite astonishing!

  Such high ratings have also benefited a lot from the leading actors in the play.

As the protagonist, Xiang Nan is heroic, wise, generous and upright, and values ​​love and righteousness, so he is deeply loved by the audience; the second male lead, Ren Wei, is handsome, talented, and infatuated, and also won the audience's love; the female lead is also loved by the audience. Li Bingbing, with his pretty face, daring to love and hate, and being able to tell right from wrong, is also loved by the audience.

  The rest, like Shi Xiaolong who plays Zhan Zhao, Liu Yijun who plays Pang Feiyan, He Zhonghua who plays Shen Liang, etc., have also increased in popularity to varying degrees.

  The success of "Youth Bao Qingtian" also made Xiang Nan's film contract increase several times, and even the film salary doubled compared to before.

  However, Xiang Nan's principle of accepting a role is to rather lack than to abuse. Faced with a snowflake of film appointments, after some screening, he finally only chose the role of the young Kangxi in "Kangxi Dynasty".

   Xiang Nan watched this TV series back then and was deeply impressed. Knowing that this is a masterpiece, it not only has extremely high ratings, but also caused great repercussions in society.

  Although the young Kangxi only appeared in less than ten episodes, he is still impressive. So even if it was only a supporting role, even if the salary was not too high, Xiang Nan was still willing to accept it.

  …

  In February, Xiang Nan's fourth album "Love in BC" was officially recorded.

  When shooting the MV, Xiang Nan chose Tang Wei as the heroine of his MV.

   Firstly, Tang Wei's looks are good enough to be a heroine; secondly, she is now signed under Zhiqingchun, and she is the second artist signed by the studio.

  Xiang Nan hopes to make her popular, and then he can become a vicious capitalist who squeezes labor.

   Tang Wei was very surprised when he learned that Xiang Nan had chosen him to play the MV. She knew that every MV heroine who worked with him was popular now.

   Zhang Jingchu quickly became popular for her role as Zhang Daxue in "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin". Afterwards, he acted in "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", "Private Interview in Kangxi Weifu 2", "Heroine Girl Breaks into the Sky", etc., and her popularity is getting higher and higher.

After Zeng Lai cooperated with Xiang Nan in the MV, it quickly attracted the attention of the film and television industry, and then participated in "The Love of Humans and Ghosts", "Legend of Lu Buwei", "Complete Marriage Manual", etc., no longer transparent in the entertainment industry people.

  After cooperating with Xiang Nan in the MV, Li Xiaoran soon joined the crew of "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", and then took over the filming of "White Trap", "Gone with the Wind" and other dramas, and his career also had a significant turnaround.

   Nowadays, Xiang Nan's popularity is getting higher and higher, and his new album is getting more and more attention. Who can play the heroine of his MV is getting more and more attention from the entertainment industry.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that half of the female artists in the entertainment industry would be eager to cooperate with him.

  But he didn't want such a big piece of cake, and now it fell into his mouth like this, it was really a good thing that the cake fell from the sky.

   Therefore, Tang Wei is very grateful for this.

  …

   For the MV shooting of "Love in BC", Xiang Nan did not hire a director, but prepared to do it himself.

   First, he has seen this MV before, and he still has an impression of it, so he is going to imitate it; second, he also wants to use it to train himself and accumulate some experience as a director.

  Xiang Nan has watched many popular film and television dramas in later generations, and many of them are still impressive. Instead of writing a script and selling it to other production companies, it is better to invest in it yourself.

   To invest in the production of film and television dramas, one must be familiar with each link. Otherwise, they may be ruined at any time.

  In the entertainment industry, there are always examples of rich people being cheated out of their money by shrewd producers. Just set up a scene, invite a big star, and dare to ask for millions or tens of millions.

   If you don’t know the details inside, you will be cheated to death, and you have to count the money for others. So Xiang Nan has to learn to explore and accumulate experience now, so as not to be tricked when the time comes.

  Since Xiang Nan directed it himself, the progress was naturally much slower.

  For an experienced director, it might take three or two days to finish the filming, but he has no relevant experience, so he can only **** slowly, so it took seven days to finish the filming.

   Not counting the filming, but editing, color correction, and soundtrack. The number of processes is frightening. It took nearly half a month, and a four and a half minute MV was finally completed. It can be said to be time-consuming and labor-intensive!

   But to be honest, through shooting this MV, Xiang Nan also had a preliminary understanding of the various processes. Next, learn slowly, accumulate experience, and maybe become a famous director in the future.

   You know, many directors in the world started their careers by shooting MVs. For example, David Fincher and Michael Bay in Hollywood; Tetsuya Nakajima in Dongying (who once filmed "The Life of the Disliked Pine Nut"); Zhang Guoli, Zhang Yibai, Zhang Yuan in the mainland, etc.

  With Xiang Nan's super high IQ, rigorous style and full of talents, I believe it should be very possible.

  …

   The MV of "Love in BC" was quickly broadcast on major TV stations, and immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

   First of all, this MV is one of the rare MVs with a fantasy color. The mysterious ancient Babylonian civilization, the ancient code of Hammurabi, the distant Mesopotamian plain... the audience can't help but yearn for it.

  Secondly, most mainland audiences are also exposed to R&B songs for the first time. To be honest, the first reaction of many adult viewers is discomfort.

  The weird melody, weird beat, and unintelligible lyrics made audiences who are used to traditional pop music frowned.

  In contrast, when young audiences heard this song, they all shouted that it was fun, and they felt very novel and interesting.

In order to better promote the album "Love in BC" and let more people accept his transformation, Xiang Nan specially asked Su Mang to write articles for major entertainment magazines, introducing the origin and development of the R&B genre, and how it is now The prosperity of European and American countries.

  Let them know that this kind of song is very fashionable, very popular, and very popular, and foreign big-name singers all sing this kind of song.

   This propaganda is still very effective. Many readers were not very interested in R&B at first, but after reading these reports, they couldn't help becoming interested.

   Therefore, the subsequent record orders are quite good. What makes Song Bing especially happy is that after the album was sold to Xiangjiang, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia through Warner's sales channels, it has also achieved good sales, which has never happened before.

  Because before this, listeners in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia thought that the pop music scene in the Mainland was terrible.

  For example, in "Senior Brother Xin Zha Chasing Girls" starring Wu Qilong, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Yang Caini, there is a funny plot where a mainland girl played by Yang Caini sings "Tracker's Love" in karaoke.

  Xiang Nan’s album focuses on R&B genre, which is trendy and fashionable, and each song is of high quality, which naturally won the love of local audiences.
