"At the beginning of the year!" Wang Zhengfei said, "Everyone should be able to see this movie at the beginning of the year!"
"The first movie I shot was called "Immortal". Have you ever thought about becoming a director?" Wang Ying asked.
"No, in the past, my idea was not to be a director, but to be a white-collar worker, or to work hard on my own. Later, when I entered the entertainment industry, I didn't even think about being a director. Instead, I wanted to be an actor or a director.
It should be considered a coincidence!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"What kind of coincidence led you to become a director?" Wang Ying asked.
"At that time, I had this idea, the idea of "Immortality", but the company was very small at the time, and there were no talents in this field, and there was no director, so in the end I came to guest star. In fact, now that I think about it, it was quite chaotic.
Yes, a newcomer with no experience will direct a film!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
At that time, Xingchen Entertainment could not be described as small. It was simply a micro-company. It was hard to say when it would go bankrupt. There were too many companies in the entertainment industry. Some of them might open one day but go bankrupt the next.
Under such circumstances, isn't it a joke to ask Wang Zhengfei to make a movie with his reading skills? But at that time, Gao Yan actually asked Wang Zhengfei to do it. This is the most incredible thing, and the turning point of Xingchen Entertainment is here.
In terms of movies, starting from this movie, Star Entertainment has officially embarked on the fast lane. It can be said to be a turning point in development.
"At that time, I never thought that "Immortal" would achieve such results, right?"
"I never thought about it. At that time, I was actually thinking more about playing for tickets!" Wang Zhengfei said, "The total cost, including publicity costs, was only 100,000 yuan, and I never thought about the results. Whether it could be released was still a question!
"
Of course, Wang Zhengfei excluded copy fees and other expenses.
"So little?" Wang Ying said. This is the first time that Wang Zhengfei has disclosed the cost of "Immortality" to the public. In the past, people knew that the cost was very low, but no one knew how low it was. Now they know that it is 100,000 yuan.
It looks like a lot, but for a movie, the cost can be said to be so low that it is almost zero cost.
A movie can easily cost tens of millions, and even a small-budget movie can cost several million. Doesn’t the cost of just 100,000 mean it’s the same? Hiring any actor will cost far more than this price.
"Yeah, it's incredible!" Wang Zhengfei said, "I didn't feel it at the time, I just felt a little complacent. I was still an informal director at that time. Now I think about it, it was really crazy. A movie with a cost of only 100,000 yuan,
He even went around looking for connections to release it!"
Now that Wang Zhengfei thinks about it, he feels that it was a very lucky thing that it was able to be released in the first place. If someone came to him now and asked him to arrange the release of a movie with a cost of only 100,000 yuan, he would probably think that there was something wrong with the other party!
"What do you understand by the concept of fashion?" Wang Ying asked.
"Fashion, I think, should be said to be about dressing according to your own personality and taste. You don't have to follow others. What suits you is the most fashionable!" Wang Zhengfei explained.
Anyway, Wang Zhengfei has never been interested in so-called fashion at all, especially the clothes designed by so-called fashion masters, which basically no normal person can wear.
The two chatted about other topics before ending the interview.
——————Time has entered the end of October, Wang Zhengfei’s first solo concert has finally been completed, and Wang Zhengfei has also gained a lot of wealth and a higher reputation with this solo concert.
In the past, although many people in the music industry said that Wang Zhengfei was already at the level of a little king, he did not even have a solo concert. But now he has finally achieved success. It can be said that he has done everything he should do, and the next step is to continue to accumulate.
.
After the interview with "Ruili" magazine, Wang Zhengfei returned directly to his home in Yanjing. Now as Wang Zhengfei is buying houses in major cities across the country, he no longer needs to live in staff dormitories, although the conditions of the staff dormitories are very good.
After his first solo concert, Wang Zhengfei devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparation of the new album.
As for the script of "The Age of Naked Marriage", Wang Zhengfei did not continue writing it, but handed it over to several screenwriters from Wang Zhengfei's studio. Wang Zhengfei was only responsible for providing the outline and some classic sentences. Wang Zhengfei believed that with his
The outline, at least roughly written, is not a big problem. This script is not so much for him as it is for other actors. He has his own thoughts on how to film and act "The Age of Naked Wedding".
He already had it in his mind, with the TV series from his previous life as a reference, so as long as he wrote according to his outline, other problems wouldn't be too big.
And Wang Zhengfei also believes that they still have this ability.
Wang Zhengfei, on the other hand, has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work of the new album. In this chapter of the album, Wang Zhengfei has already confirmed a song, which is a new song that will be included in He Manting's new album. In Wang Zhengfei's first performance
The song "Su Yan" was sung in a solo concert.
The villa in Yanjing is very well decorated, but after all it is just a place to stay, and it still lacks a feeling of home.
In addition to being bare-faced, the second song Wang Zhengfei has confirmed is a song from Yuan Chengjie and Qi Wei, "No. 18 on the Bund". Wang Zhengfei's album must have a song duet with Dan Vo. This has almost become a convention.
Countless fans are questioning why Wang Zhengfei must sing a song with Dan Vo. Many people are speculating on the reason. Wang Zhengfei naturally knows it, but he has no intention of telling them.
Wang Zhengfei liked this song very much in his previous life. It is also a classic love song among the male and female duet group Yuan Chengjie and Qi Wei. After thinking for a long time, Wang Zhengfei finally chose this song as the duet song for the two men.
The third song is Wang Sulong's song "Love Without Breaking Up". This song comes from Satisfied Little Talent. It is relaxed, cheerful and quite catchy.
The fourth song is also a duet song, "Obsession" from Xu Liang, which Wang Zhengfei decided to sing together with Dan Vo.
If there is any difference between this person's third physical album and his previous albums, it is that there are several more songs composed by Wang Zhengfei.
It should be said that the first two albums were Wang Zhengfei's first attempts, but starting with this album, a large number of Wang Zhengfei's personal creations filled the album. This time, six songs were written by Wang Zhengfei himself.
It should be said that Wang Zhengfei has been writing songs one after another since the album last year. However, because it was the first time for him to create such a large number of songs, as well as filming and other things, even though a year has passed, he still has to write songs.
Only six songs were written.
Among them, there is a song "Little Dress" due to men and women, and then there are all solo songs. The sixth song is called "The Heart Is Connected", which was written by Wang Zhengfei when he thought of having a heartfelt connection with Dan Fu.
The seventh song is an English song "Forever and Forever". The reason why I wrote this English song was inspired by Gao Yan. If you want to sell records overseas, English songs are indispensable.
Except for East Asia, where Chinese music is still popular, but outside of East Asia, if records want to be sold, English songs have to lead the way. Although he is a little unwilling, Wang Zhengfei also knows that English is still prevalent in this world.
Yes, Chinese is only popular in certain places, so Wang Zhengfei still chose to release English songs, which shows that his idea is beginning to expand beyond East Asia.
You must know that the market in East Asia is almost saturated now. His album has sold 7 million copies in East Asia. This kind of sales is already more than many singers can sell in their lifetime. The market is basically full.
Most of the time, if we want to achieve further substantial improvement, then sales in other regions will be quite important.
Therefore, it is urgent to open up new record markets. For any singer, opening up new markets is a very important thing, but it is absolutely unique to open up markets in one region like Wang Zhengfei. Generally,
It is already very good for a singer to be able to thrive in East Asia.
The emergence of English songs can only be said to be tentative tentacles extending out. Unlike movies, songs are the art of language. If you don't understand them, it will cause great obstacles to the appreciation of records, but movies are different.
Well, first of all, movies express stories through pictures, and they can also be translated and re-dubbed so that most people can understand them.
Wang Zhengfei didn't know what kind of response this English song would get. Of course, it would be best for him to get the expected response.
The eighth song is still an English song, "Betrayal". Wang Zhengfei wrote this song inspired by his previous relationship.
The ninth song is called "Guardian", and the tenth song is Wang Zhengfei's recently completed new song called "Holding Hands". These six songs each have their own characteristics. Wang Zhengfei has tried many different genres!
