Yan Qing had no plans to go out on Friday. After getting up early and finishing his daily vocal training and having breakfast, he followed his own filming plan with great discipline and continued to film the remaining film works in the filming room in the small building of the studio.
"Most of the videos in digital format have no flaws, so they are not hidden in warehouses."
Yan Qing complained silently in his heart while showing the film.
Sure enough, the "Wet Dreams" I chose this morning was quite normal. It was a love movie that took place in a foreign market ten miles away from Shanghai in the 1920s. It didn't include any emoticon material.
…………
Before going to bed these days, Yan Qing will seriously consider the fact that he is addicted to the Internet:
"I can't always maintain this kind of personal baggage that is alienated from the Internet and social information.
And the transformation shouldn't be too drastic, you can't jump out and buy yourself a smartphone right away, and turn into a hunk who is keen on surfing the Internet with a sweet face, so that even idiots can see that there is something wrong with you.
Miao Miao also mentioned before that she can use a computer to work and check information on the Internet, but not very frequently.
So I had to take it step by step and naturally perform this attitude change, especially in front of Miao Miao."
…………
So at noon, when Yan Qing and Miao Miao were having dinner together in the restaurant in the back room, Yan Qing casually mentioned to Miao Miao that in order to prepare for the upcoming recording of the program, he needed to check information online, and wanted to take advantage of Miao Miao's afternoon to go there.
Please use the computer in the general manager's office during the business hours at the Whisper Headquarters.
Miao Miao didn't have any unusual reaction when she heard Yan Qing's words. She nodded and told Yan Qing to help himself.
After receiving a WeChat message, Miao Miaocai excitedly told Yan Qing that in the morning she had been negotiating with Pearl TV about the exclusive copyright licensing contract for the TV variety show song "Talent Co., Ltd."
The scanned copy of the contract text just sent to Pearl TV stated in black and white that they were willing to pay a pre-tax sum of five million Chinese dollars for this. This money would be used for the special production fee of "Talent Co., Ltd." Eight
It can be paid to the studio account at the end of the month.
After reporting his work, the little money fan held his chin with both hands, flashed his big eyes, and muttered:
"Brother Qing'er, I've discovered that the money you can earn from making a good song can almost equal the amount we make from filming a movie or performing thirty or forty musicals or plays.
It can be seen from Miao Miao's words that Yan Qing Studio's income has not been much in recent years.
…………
"Maybe it's because in the past few years, I have only been able to take on some documentary-themed films that were destined not to go to commercial theaters, and I took on musicals and drama performances at the Imperial People's Art Theater to maintain my condition and continue to polish my acting skills.
It’s just that the natural income is not as good as before. After all, 13 years ago, I maintained an average production rate of two commercial films a year. This must be very hard for Miao Miao, who is in charge of the financial power of the studio."
…………
Yan Qing speculated silently with feelings for Miao Miao.
After Miao Miao went out in the afternoon, Yan Qing sat openly in front of the computer and began to use the Internet to search for the information he wanted according to the plan he had planned early.
The first is the changes in the parallel world. After some inquiries, Yan Qing discovered:
Sarajevo, which originally kicked off World War I, did not fire those two shots.
On June 28, 1914, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophia, who were visiting Sarajevo, peacefully spent an ordinary fourteenth wedding anniversary in their sixty-year marriage.
"The dust of history falls on everyone's head, like a big mountain. Such ordinaryness is not a kind of happiness for the Pei Dinan couple."
Yan Qing smiled knowingly and continued reading.
The process of the world line turned a point here. This world has not had any intercontinental war since then, and peace and development have become the mainstream voice of this world.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of several generations of revolutionary ancestors, China has built China from a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country into a prosperous and powerful socialist country.
The current world structure is that China and the United States are each leading a group of countries in the East and the West, and the two sides are chasing each other in a series of healthy competitions in the fields of economy, technology, culture, sports and other fields.
This is the best of times, an era where peace, cooperation, and competition coexist. Young people from the East and the West have almost always learned from each other the strengths and advantages of their competitors on the other side of the Pacific since childhood. The popularity of Mandarin and English education is unparalleled in this world. Yan Qing’s understanding.
As he had speculated before, contracts in this era are extremely binding, and there are not even a few contract dispute cases that can be found on the vast Internet.
Integrity and ability to perform contracts are the second ID card for everyone in this era.
Yan Qing turned his search attention to the entertainment industry in which he was engaged.
He first searched according to the picture and found an Internet movie database website (movie database, referred to as imdb) jointly built by the officials of Huami and Mi and responsible for maintaining and updating it. This is a website that records and scores movie actors, movies, TV shows, and TV shows all over the world. Online database of stars and film productions.
He clicked on the imdb top 250 film list hanging high on the website and looked at the public information of these films one by one, including basic plot trends and information about directors, actors, production teams, award records and other information.
The proportion of Chinese-language movies and English-language movies on the high-scoring movie list is about 50-50. Some classic works from past lives did not emerge in this soil, and the creative team of these films did not recognize even one person he was familiar with from previous lives. The movie stars and directors are all unfamiliar movie names and filmmakers.
The RMS Titanic in this world was also launched in the Port of Belfast, Northern Ireland on May 31, 1911, and its two sister RMS Britannic, " "Olympic" also spent more than 20 years of safe commercial operation under the White Star Line. After a total of 321 voyages across the Atlantic, it retired without tragedy, so it also lost the following one. A movie that has gone down in the history of human cinema.
There is no "Titanic" that was released in the previous life between 1997 and 1998, and once swept the box office rankings of more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and finally won a total box office of more than 2.1 billion US dollars.
Also due to changes in the world line, "The Shawshank Redemption", which was voted number one among the 250 best films in film history by more than 1.6 million imdb members in its previous life, is no longer available.
There is no "Godfather" trilogy that competes with "The Shawshank Redemption" on the list.
There is no running Forrest Gump.
There is also no Christopher Nolan, who has produced excellent film works such as "The Dark Knight Rises", "Inception", and "Memento".
There are more than 100 Chinese-language films on the list, and even two of Yan Qing's previous works are listed inconspicuously at the bottom of the list. However, they do not include his favorite Chinese works "Alive" and "Red Sorghum".
There is no "Farewell My Concubine", there is no "In the Mood for Love" by Sunglasses King, there is no "Infernal Affairs" trilogy, and there is no series of works from the golden era of the Chinese film industry in Hong Kong such as "Gunfire" and "Dark Flower" by Galaxy Pictures.
.
However, the establishment of authoritative film awards is roughly similar to the development trend in previous generations:
Every year on the eve of the Spring Festival, the Golden Dragon Award, the highest honor for Chinese films, is hosted by the China National Film and Art Association, and the Academy Awards, the Academy Awards, are hosted by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences every February, which together represent the highest honor for global commercial films.
The three major A-category international film festivals in Europe, Berlin, Cannes, and Venice, are responsible for recognizing authorial films in the artistic genre.
Yan Qing searched again for the total number of screens at home and abroad, box office rankings over the years, total box office and other downstream data of the film and television industry chain. Sure enough, in this parallel time and space with strong copyright awareness, the prosperity of the entire movie viewing market far exceeded that of Yan Qing.
Previous lives of the Qing Dynasty.
After understanding the changes in the world film industry, Yan Qing turned his attention to the music industry. Due to differences in culture, language, and development genres, the two superpowers on both sides of the Pacific each have their own authoritative pop music rankings.
The authoritative music list in China is called the Supreme Hits List, while the Billboard list in the United States is responsible for ranking the weekly on-demand volume, sales volume and other corresponding data of Chinese music, English and other minor language music.
Judging from the hit singles and album sales data displayed on the two charts, the global intellectual property situation in this era is quite good.
What Yan Qing experienced in his previous life, the huge impact of pirated digital music sources on the recording industry due to the spirit of Internet sharing, has not happened in this world. Singers who can produce excellent works are still living a very prosperous life.
Many of the hit singles on the charts are even only released in digital versions, focusing on online sales.
As for the weekly number one singles on the two charts, the sales statistics of digital music sources are usually upwards of 30 million. According to the established statistical methods in the recording industry, the sales numbers of these single-synthetic albums are all three-diamond certified or above.
Coupled with some sustained and stable copyright licensing fees, it is no wonder that Miao Miao would lament the richness of the singer's income.
Yan Qing carefully checked the catalog of the number one singles on the two charts in the past ten years, and clicked to listen to some number one singles with the same song names as his previous life.
Finally, Yan Qing checked around and found that although these songs with the same names were all pleasant to the ears, they were not the melodies that Yan Qing remembered.
It seems that after the change of the world line, whether it is the film industry or the pop music industry, there is no duplication of the essence of content produced by the two worlds.
In terms of music style, the pan-English pop music scene led by the United States has embarked on a flourishing era that Yan Qing is familiar with, which combines pop pop, hip-hop rap, rhythm and blues, punk, goth, hard-core rock, and country.
The style of the Chinese pop music scene is much more tolerant and open than what Yan Qing remembered in his previous life. While Chinese ethnic music is becoming more and more impressive, various niche music is also developing very well.
Among the weekly No. 1 singles on the Supreme Hits Chart in the past ten years, Yan Qing heard some Chinese rap, guava, punk, British rock, and even hard-core metal works that stood out to him.
"This is the best time for musicians."
Yan Qing thought silently while listening to various weekly champion singles of different styles.
