"There is player No. 5. {Starter}"

As soon as the host's voice fell, a tall and thin girl wearing rustic black-rimmed glasses walked onto the stage. She stood still and turned around with a gesture of ok, and then the accompaniment of the song played.

"Looking back slowly, the night that once belonged to each other

Honghong is still you, give me the sunshine in my heart

 …”

The girl only opened her mouth to sing a few words, and Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, who had their backs to the stage, turned their heads and looked at each other. Anita Mui praised: "The voice is so beautiful."

Zhang Guorong smiled and said, "I have your level."

The mentors of the third season of "The Voice of China" are all singers from the popular record company. Apart from Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, the other two are Xu Xiaofeng and Ye Dexian respectively.

Xu Xiaofeng only signed into Pop Records last month. Her contract with her original owner, Kang Yi Chengyin, has arrived. For some reason, she has been in a deadlock with Wireless TVB, and Kang Yi Chengyin is one of the partners of Wireless TVB. Xu Xiaofeng didn't want to get caught in it, so she joined the popular record without looking at TVB's face - the record company needs to promote the singer on the TV station, and now Xu Xiaofeng has not released a film in the popular record company, but has hosted the Phoenix Golden Song for half a month.

Phoenix Golden Melody is a program founded at the beginning of this year. It usually introduces some popular songs and selects the Phoenix Golden Melody Awards every year.

Only half a year after its establishment, "Phoenix Golden Songs" has been listed as the three major music awards in Hong Kong together with "Top Ten Golden Songs" by TVB and "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" by Radio Television Hong Kong.

As for Ye Dexian, she is an old-fashioned singer who has been famous since the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, she doesn't make many albums anymore. She is more focused on making movies, playing important supporting roles in many DreamWorks movies. But even so, as a Hong Kong singer who was once a smash hit, she still has a very high popularity and countless fans, enough to serve as the mentor of China's good voice.

In the program, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui are three. Her attitude towards Ye Dexian was very respectful, and she completely regarded her as her current mentor.

"The future will be a thousand songs

Drifting away on my way

Tomorrow is a thousand nights of stars

brighten the moon tonight

 …”

"beep!"

"beep!"

"beep!"

Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui and Xu Xiaofeng suddenly pressed the lights at the same time, and the electric-controlled seat slowly turned to the stage after the staff pressed the control switch.

"Wow!!!"

Three mentors are seen turning at the same time. The audience below the stage suddenly roared. And only half a minute later, the remaining Ye Dexian turned around by pressing the lights. When all four votes passed, dazzling colored lights flashed on the stage of Taiping Theater, which pushed the atmosphere of the show to the highest level.

After singing the song, Zhang Guorong asked, "May I ask what your name is and what is your occupation?"

The girl calmed down her excitement and replied, "Hello, four mentors. My name is Zhou Huimin. I just graduated from middle school. I'm currently working as a clerk in a video store."

Xu Xiaofeng said, "Hello Huimin, you sing very well, have you received professional training?"

Zhou Huimin was extremely nervous and excited at this time, she tried her best to maintain a smile on her face, and said, "I have practiced the piano since I was a child. I have also learned some music theory, but it is not very professional training."

"Tell me about your dreams," Anita Mui said.

Zhou Huimin replied, "My dream is to be able to make money from music to support my family in the future."

Ye Dexian smiled and said, "It's a great dream."

...

Wang Zuixian was like a sloth, his limbs tightly wrapped around Kang Jianfei, and the gasping sound from his mouth became louder and louder. Suddenly she gave a sharp cry, bent like a taut bow, and raised her long neck. The whole body was drawn out in a very rhythmic burst.

There was still the smell of Yin Mi in the air, and the men and women embracing on the bed gradually calmed down and caressed each other quietly afterward. Only the singing from the TV was left in the room.

Wang Zuixian leaned against Kang Jianfei's arms silently, enjoying the gentle touch and kiss of the man. After half a month of hooking up, Kang Jianfei finally found time to put Wang Zuixian to bed. Enjoyed that graceful delicate body to the fullest.

Wang Zuixian glanced at Luohong on the sheets, and said shyly, "Mr. Kang, I want to take a shower."

"You still call me Mr. Kang?" Kang Jianfei teased and slapped her on the hip.

Wang Zuixian touched his buttocks and asked, "Then what should I call you?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Of course it's Brother Fei. You can also call me husband if you want."

Wang Zuixian naturally chose the former and said, "Brother Fei. I want to take a bath."

"Go." Kang Jianfei took his dirty hands away from Wang Zuixian.

There was a sound of water splashing in the bathroom, but Kang Jianfei's attention turned to the TV screen, because he happened to see Zhou Huimin singing.

"Interesting, Zhou Huimin actually appeared." Kang Jianfei said happily.

What surprised Kang Jianfei was still behind. Only ten minutes later, a band brought all their belongings on stage and sang an original rock song.

Zhang Guorong said, "Introduce yourself."

"Hello, four mentors, we are the d band."

"My name is Huang Jiaju."

"My name is Huang Jiaqiang"

"My name is Ye Shirong."

"My name is Chen Shi'an."

Anita Mui carefully looked at the four people in the stands and asked, "Have you participated in other singing competitions before?"

Huang Jiaju nodded and said, "We participated in the Yamaha guitar competition two years ago and won the championship. However, we insisted on singing the songs we wrote, and were not favored by the record companies. We could only run around and make money as an underground band."

Ye Dexian, the oldest qualified, said: "Playing in a band was very popular more than ten years ago, but now whoever plays in a band will die. Look at Teddy Robin, the first person in a band in Hong Kong, and now he has also changed his career to make movies. I think Jiaju, your singing skills are very good, if you are purely a singer and sing pop songs, you should be able to become popular, but if you continue to play a band and sing original rock, you can only continue to be an underground band." The four of the d band looked at each other. With a wry smile, Huang Jiaju said helplessly: "Singing pop songs is not my interest."

The show on TV was still going on. Wang Zuixian had returned to the bed in his pajamas after taking a shower, and was watching TV obediently snuggling up in Kang Jianfei's arms.

Kang Jianfei reached out and took the phone at the bedside, dialed Deng Yimin's number, and said, "Old Deng, have you seen the good voice of China tonight on Phoenix TV? Yes, I have a crush on the singers in it. You put Zhou Huimin and the d band together. Sign it. I promise they'll be red..."

After hanging up the phone, Kang Jianfei saw that Wang Zuixian was looking at him, and said with a smile, "Do I have flowers on my face?"

Wang Zuixian said with a smile: "No, I just think you are so handsome when you are on the phone. And the tone of your speech is very imposing."

One sentence determines the future of several singers, can you not be majestic?

After the broadcast of the first episode of the third season of "The Voice of China", Zhou Huimin and D quickly became famous, but they were only famous. If they really want to become famous singers, they must be packaged and promoted by the record company.

Kang Jianfei, who was back in filming, unexpectedly received a call from the capital. It was Hu Juncai who called: "A Fei, I will get married in March next year. You must come by then."

...

November 10. The first half-month Tokyo International Film Festival came to an end, and the Japanese film "Typhoon Club" won the grand prize (the highest award). "Shushan", which was invited to participate in the exhibition, won the Grand Jury Award together with the Canadian film "Jacques and November", and also won a special award for film critics.

When the news came back to Hong Kong, Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company and Oriental Cinemas naturally took the opportunity to hype it up. Soft commercials of "Shushan" can be seen everywhere in Hong Kong, but its real hard commercials have not yet officially debuted. According to this trend, until "Shushan" is released in the summer, the publicity expenses alone will cost four or five million, which is equivalent to the cost of a medium-invested Hong Kong film today.

Having won awards at two international film festivals in a row, "Shushan" quickly passed film censorship in the mainland and is expected to be released around New Year's Day. However, the mainland box office of "Shushan" has little to do with DreamWorks. Because this is a co-production filmed in the mainland, Xu Ke was able to use the national film and television resources with extremely cheap remuneration, but the price he paid was to completely give up the mainland box office.

That is to say, "Shushan" won't get a penny at the box office of DreamWorks in the Mainland, and it is all divided up by the Chinese film co-production company, the film bureau, and various theaters.

However, "Once Upon a Time", which was released at the end of August, showed chivalrous spirit and patriotism. The film has been well received in the mainland again, and it has not been released for two and a half months after it was released. The box office in the mainland has reached nearly 40 million yuan.

Some people may wonder, it was difficult to get a thousand box office in the mainland around 2000, why the ticket price was one or two yuan in the 1980s. DreamWorks movies often get tens of millions at the box office?

In fact, it is very simple. From 1981 to 1992, it was the golden age of domestic films. The total box office of domestic films reached a peak of 3.2 billion yuan in 1992. After that, it plummeted. In 1998, the total box office of domestic films fell to 810 million yuan, which was only a quarter of that in 1992. Even in 2003, this value was only 1.01 billion yuan, less than one-third of the value in 1992.

Therefore, from 1994 to 2003, some people called it the "lost decade" of domestic films.

Why did the box office totals of domestic films plummet in 1993? The most important reason is that from this year, the computer began to appear in the mainland, and in a few years, the computer and piracy were rampant.

Piracy can be said to be the main culprit behind the decline of domestic films. Since then, foreign films have been introduced since 1994 (there was no formal introduction mechanism before), which not only failed to help Chinese films save the market, but raised the horizons of Chinese people, and everyone was even more disdainful of watching domestic films.

So being able to sell movies into the mainland market in the 1980s was a very happy thing. Because there are few entertainment methods in the mainland, even the number of TV sets is very small, and there is no piracy, and video halls for pirated video tapes have just appeared. habit, so that every DreamWorks film can sell more than 20 million yuan at the box office in the mainland - no competition.

The main reason why the central government can tolerate DreamWorks' films in the mainland market is that Kang Jianfei did not earn foreign exchange from the motherland. In the mid-1980s, China was poor, but the poor was that there was too little foreign exchange, and there was not much shortage of renminbi.

Most of the high box office sales of DreamWorks films were split by the film bureaus and cinemas in the Mainland, and the share that Kang Jianfei received was not earned in the form of foreign exchange, but was directly distributed in RMB. Some of these renminbi are donated directly in the Mainland, and some are used for investment in the Mainland (such as investing in CCTV's "Journey to the West" and other films, such as building cinemas and department stores in the Mainland).

Today, not counting the food company that Ye Laosan has jointly opened, Kang Jianfei already owns three cinemas in the mainland (and another three are under construction, located in Chengdu/Du, Wuhan/Han and Beijing/Beijing), and each There is a department store attached to the cinema, and there is also a Xiongfei Record Company in Guangzhou/Zhou, and a Shaolin Temple International Tourism Development Company.

Even with these investments, DreamWorks still couldn't use up the renminbi earned in the mainland, and the renminbi could not be brought back to Hong Kong, so it had to find another way to spend it.

The production cost of "Shushan" was 63 million Hong Kong dollars, of which nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars was invested, which was actually spent directly in RMB. Although the exchange rate of RMB at this time is very pitiful, Kang Jianfei is using the money in his hand after all, because it is useless to store these RMB in the bank, and it will depreciate greatly in the next ten years.

The Shaolin Temple has also developed initially. Although the investment has not been fully recovered, it has made profits every month at least. Especially after the performance of the Spring Festival Gala last year, the Shaolin Temple has intensified its publicity efforts. Coupled with the rapid economic development in the mainland, the number of tourists to the Shaolin Temple this year has nearly doubled compared to last year.

The excellent performance of the Chinese team in the Olympic Games last year and the subsequent positive image promotion made the world more interested in China. The number of foreign tourists to the Shaolin Temple in the first half of this year has tripled compared to the same period last year.

After the business at the Shaolin Temple was on the right track, Hu Juncai handed over the daily management work to his subordinates and moved to the capital to live in the capital. The good thing for this fellow and the daughter of the Ye family has been settled~lightnovelpub.net~ The two are planning to get married in the Spring of next year.

Kang Jianfei's theaters in the mainland all act independently. Each theater has only one manager who has been from Hong Kong, and is suffering from no one to take charge of the affairs. Hu Juncai got out of the Shaolin Temple, just to solve this trouble.

Now Kang Jianfei's theaters in the mainland have all been renamed Dongfang International Cinemas (theatrical company), and Hu Juncai is the general manager of the company and shares 15% of the company's shares. It's not that Kang Jianfei doesn't give much gadgets, it's that Kang Jianfei only owns 49% of the shares. After he distributes it to Hu Juncai, only 34% is left, and the remaining 51% of the shares are all owned by the local government, because when the theater was built, it was stipulated that, The government must be the largest shareholder.

But now that there is a third person holding shares, there is room for maneuver. Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai have already negotiated, and plan to gradually buy back the shares from the local government in the next three years. At that time, Kang Jianfei held 34% of the shares, Hu Juncai held 31% of the shares, and the local government held 35% of the shares. The government was still the largest shareholder of the company, which did not violate the policy.

When the policy is relaxed one day, Kang Jianfei will pay to buy back all the shares held by the local government.
