229 [National Style] Influence and Press Conference Combination(2/3)
Hu Jing looked proud. Although she could attract many reporters, compared with Ye Fan, the gap was still quite big.
Li, Fan Shuangbing, and Li Xiaoran looked at Ye Fan in Yushu Linfeng with starry eyes, while young people such as Chen Hao and Wu Yue were astonished!
They knew that their senior brother was very famous, but the number of reporters present exceeded their imagination!
Fortunately, Ye Fan was prepared and asked Wang Jinghua to borrow the large conference room in the film and television city for this press conference.
After the opening ceremony, the crew and reporters moved to the conference room to prepare for the next step.
Naturally, it started with a question-and-answer session, where reporters invited by Chaoyang Company asked the creators questions about the TV series "Shao San".
Naturally, Ye Fan, Wu Jing, Wang Xinmin and others exchanged commercial compliments and almost said that this TV series is the best martial arts TV series in the mainland.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, there is no problem that "Shao San" has become one of the best martial arts TV series in the mainland!
Just when the other reporters were getting a little restless, the host finally announced that they could conduct interviews freely. At this time, all the reporters raised their hands in unison.
This scene is so spectacular that when people who don’t know about it see this scene, they would think that some earth-shattering course is being held in the conference room, and so many people want to ask questions.
Sure enough, the first reporter to be selected stood up and asked Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, your aunt and uncle are archeology teachers, how come you thought of writing a tomb robbery novel?"
Although Ye Fan did a lot of drafting, the reporter's questions were obviously more creative.
"You also said it's a novel. If you want to read about archeology, there are many books on this subject. You can also learn more about it by going to the cultural relics museum."
"If the novel is to be interesting, it must find a different approach, and add stories of the street, rivers and lakes, and mysterious and strange knowledge to make it interesting."
The reporter still wanted to ask, but unfortunately the host had previously stipulated that one person could only ask one question, so the reporter had no choice but to sit down and listen to other people's questions.
"Ye Fan, how many volumes are there in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and how many words are there?"
"It's hard to say how many of them there are. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" actually has two main plots and two protagonist groups. The other one is called "Tomb Raiders Notes" and has about 2 million words or more."
Upon hearing this answer, the reporters were in an uproar. Writing a novel of 2 million words by one person these days? This is a big project!
"Ye Fan, how many words have you written? Will the two protagonists intersect?"
"More than 600,000 words have been written now, but there is a "prequel" in it, which will not be released until the later stage of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". There will be some linkage between the two protagonists."
Then a reporter from Taiwan Province asked: "Ye Fan, what era was "The Prequel" written in? I think "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was written in the 1980s. Are there any earlier eras? For example, the M country era?"
""The Prequel" mainly writes about the Ming Dynasty, and "Tomb Raiders Notes" is about the same era, but it is also written in the 1950s. "The Side Story" will be about the era of Country M."
The more the reporter asked, the more information he found about the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has more than one main plot, there is another "Tomb Raiders Notes" and another group of protagonists.
Moreover, the main text has not yet been finished, Ye Fan has already written the "Prequel", and the "Waiden" has already been planned.
Ye Fan also said that many of the characters in it can write their own stories, which shocked the reporters. What kind of god is this!
Ye Fan's explanation made reporters understand that Ye Fan was going to write a masterpiece!
To write the entire series of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", 2 million words are the starting point. I can write 3 million or even 4 million words!
"Ye Fan, when you wrote "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", did you plan to make it into a TV series or put it on the big screen?"
"I have this idea, but filming "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" requires a lot of special effects. The technology in this area is not yet mature in China. It may take a few years to finish the novel."
Ye Fan did not reveal much about the follow-up content. The information he broke today was enough for these reporters to go back and write for a while.
Wang Xinmin, Wu Jing and others were also listening with interest. They understood who these people were here for, so naturally they would not be unhappy.
Moreover, this novel is really well written, and they also like to read it. It is so satisfying to be able to hear so much information related to the novel with their own ears.
On the contrary, with Ye Fan, "Shao San" will become even more famous!
Seeing that Ye Fan was not talking about "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", reporters turned to ask about "Candlelight" and "Chinese Style".
"Ye Fan, how did you come up with the idea of adding drama to pop music and creating the new style [Chinese style]?"
"When I was a child, I studied Peking Opera for a while with my mother and grandma. I think the opera is actually very nice, but it may not be in line with the preferences of young people today."
"I think traditional culture like Peking Opera is very beautiful, but if Peking Opera wants to develop in the new era, it still needs to integrate new cultural content and trends."
"In addition, I also listen to a lot of songs. "One Night in Yanjing", "Rap Face" and "The Confidante" all have this fusion, and they have inspired me a lot."
"That's why I was able to write "Candlelight" and other [Chinese-style] songs. Here I have to thank the senior singers who wrote these songs."
"The creation of [Chinese style] is not my fault alone, but also the credit of these senior singers."
Ye Fan's answer was very generous. He not only praised traditional Chinese culture, but also paid tribute to his predecessors in the music industry and gave some credit for the creation of "Chinese style".
In this way, he will not only gain the gratitude of others, but he will also be remembered as the first person to create [Chinese style], and this will make more professionals support [Chinese style]!
"When will your new album be released? Will the other [Chinese-style] songs be better?"
"Probably at the beginning of August, I will also shoot the MV, and the other few [Chinese style] songs will be more pure in style."
After being asked a few more questions about the album, Ye Fan forced the topic to turn to "Shao San", otherwise this morning's press conference would never have ended.
The entire press conference lasted for an hour before it ended. Ye Fan successfully promoted "Shao San" and diverted the reporter's attention.
The reporters didn't ask him the real reason why he wanted to film "The Young Master", and the reporters didn't notice that the crew was all mainlanders and there wasn't a single person from Hong Kong and Taiwan!
Ye Fan wanted to tell the truth, even if it offended Mr. Yuan Ba and the people in the film and television industry.
Wu Jing being treated like that was originally Yuan Baye's problem. If Wu Jing hadn't stopped him, Ye Fan would have wanted to ask Yuan Baye for an explanation!
It's a pity that because of the power of "Qidian", Ye Fan couldn't criticize them, so he had to give up the idea and slap them in the face with his works and strength!
Therefore, after the press conference, Ye Fan did not let the drama start shooting immediately, but stayed to discuss the fighting style of "Shao San" with Wang Xinmin, Wu Jing and other martial arts directors.
The teacher said it well, you must have a unified mind when doing things, only in this way can the group be successful!
Ye Fan will naturally learn from the martial arts style of the original "Shao San". In addition, the fighting styles of classic martial arts TV series such as "Tai Chi Master", "The Best in the World", "Water Moon Cave" and "Little Li Flying Knife"
Ye Fan also introduced everyone in detail one by one.
For this reason, Ye Fan also transformed into the temporary "No. 1 Martial Arts Commander" and fought against Yu Chenghui, Wu Jing, Yu Hai and others.
Except for Wu Jing, Yu Chenghui and others discovered that Ye Fan's kung fu and fighting skills were very good.
Yu Chenghui smiled and said: "I think Mr. Ye can design the fight scenes of this drama by yourself without us old guys."
Ye Fan said with a smile: "Teacher Yu, you are so flattering. How can I compare with you in my skill and embroidery? I just have many ideas, and you have to decide on the details."
"That's right, you are far behind us in terms of kung fu, but your idea of designing kung fu is quite impressive."
Everyone laughed at Wu Jing's words, and Ye Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Who else but Wu Jing would dare to talk to him like this.
Yu Hai smiled and said: "The fighting routines that Mr. Ye just mentioned are really good, and they inspired me a lot. When Director Wang was filming, we discussed on the spot what routines and movements to use, which would have the best effect."
Wang Xinmin also said happily: "Yes, I have a lot of ideas now, and I can't wait to start filming!"
"Then Director Wang, you guys will shoot first. I'll leave first if I have something else to do."
Everyone nodded. They knew that Ye Fan would join the group later, so they did not keep him.
The fighting routine that Ye Fan just told them was an eye-opener for them. At least Ye Fan's ideas for helping them design actions expanded to seven or eight years later.
Can't it be seven or eight years later! "The Best in the World" and "Shuiyue Cave" are both dramas from 2004 to 2005. If they are not trained in advance, how can Ye Fan intercept Hu Wangjing and Zhou Yi Company?
After leaving the crew, Ye Fan and Wang Jinghua came to Chaoyang Company, where Zhang Xing was already waiting for him.
There is no way, because Ye Fan, the student boss, has to come to work on weekends. Ye Fan only comes to the company to check on the work when he has time on weekends.
"Last month, the total domestic sales of "Love Is Just a Word" were only over 950,000 copies. Mainland sales were almost half lower than in May, and overseas sales were only over 500,000 copies."
Hearing Zhang Xing's words, Ye Fan nodded, took the information he handed over and started reading.
In June, the sales volume of "Love is Just One Word" began to decline significantly, with sales in the mainland only over 560,000 copies, and sales in Hong Kong and Taiwan only over 400,000 copies.
After the broadcast of "Huan Zhuge Ge" in May, the sales of "Love is Just One Word" rebounded hugely in the mainland that month, reaching 1.15 million copies.
There are also 550,000 copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, plus 630,000 copies sold abroad, the total sales of "Love is Just One Word" in May are still 2.33 million copies.
But in June, the total sales of "Love is Just One Word" were only 1.45 million copies, a drop of nearly 1 million copies.
In the first two months, the sales revenue of "Love is Just One Word" was 180.26 million RMB. Chaoyang Company was able to get a share of 72.1047 million yuan, and after paying taxes, there was still 59.8469 million yuan.
Of course, this sales volume is a relatively large decline for Ye Fan, but for most singers in the Chinese music industry, it is an astronomical sales volume.
Because since the release of "Love is Just One Word", the sales volume of a single album has reached more than 9.87 million, which is close to 10 million sales!
Not to mention the sales of his previous albums, if counted together, they would be even more.
It would be terrifying if this data were released, because "Love is Just One Word" will definitely have sales exceeding 10 million this year!
This is the year in 1998 when the annual sales of a single album exceeded 10 million! Even Zhang Xueyou has never achieved such an achievement.
It’s true that some of his albums have sold more than 10 million, but that’s cumulative sales. How can it compare with Ye Fan’s, whose annual album sales exceed 10 million?
Not to mention other domestic singers who have sold more than 10 million albums, all of which are cumulative sales. Except for Ye Fan, there is no one with annual sales of more than 10 million!
It should be said that nowadays, apart from European and American music superstars, there is no singer in Asia who can sell nearly 10 million copies of a single album in a year!
Because they lack the mainland market! The only person who can sell so many genuine albums in the mainland is Ye Fan, that is, Xiao Qi!
However, the sales volume of Xiao Qi's "Heart Is Too Soft" in the mainland last year was only over 6.31 million copies, which is still far from the sales volume of 10 million copies.
Of course, the fact that "Love is Just One Word" can sell such sales is also the result of many factors.
Before Ye Fan entered the European and American music scene, it was generally not easy for his Chinese albums to sell tens of millions of copies a year.
However, "Light Chaser" should be able to break through this data faster, but Ye Fan held back a big move!
