I'm a big star after the funeral

Chapter 118 Chapter 110 Three Finals Banquet
"Come on, everyone cheers!"

What Su Xiaojing said is correct, the final banquet in the evening can indeed be opened for drinking.

I was filming before, so it's okay to have a drink or two occasionally, but drinking to your heart's content is out of the question.

There are plenty of lessons in the entertainment industry for accidents caused by drinking.

And actresses are more likely to be criticized in this regard, and red wine is easy to drink. Although the stamina is not as good as that of white wine, the amount of alcohol that ordinary women can drink is just that.

Even if Su Xiaojing said that she likes to drink red wine, she also admits that she is actually not a good drinker.

But this night, there were not so many scruples. Taking advantage of the warm atmosphere, everyone didn't have many scruples.

Of course, it is impossible to have no scruples at all. After all, this circle is fierce, with conspiracies, frame-ups, and competition for interests pervasive.

Those who belong to the same crew may not be able to confide in their hearts. If the ugly scene at the party is filmed and posted on the Internet, it will be a lot of fun.

So usually at times like this, assistants or managers will be by their side, not to help with the drinking. Celebrities themselves can drink, but managers and assistants must keep a clear mind and don't drink if they can.

I would rather let the artist himself get drunk, but it will be easy to shirk when the time comes.

If the manager and assistant, who are the last line of defense, get drunk first, then there is a problem.

Of course, there are also assistants who specialize in the task of blocking and drinking, but that's another story.

As a matter of course, Director An gave a speech. As a director, he is the center on the set, and he is also the leader in this wrap-up banquet.

So after he finished speaking and announced that he could start drinking freely, everyone gradually let go.

"Hey, bring me that orange juice, thank you."

"Li Chenghao, why don't you drink?"

Li Chenghao watched Su Xiaojing deliberately snatch the orange juice he had just received, and suddenly said helplessly: "Sister, I don't drink well and I'm afraid of making a fool of myself. Please take care of me."

"Who is your sister, I am younger than you?"

Su Xiaojing was born in 98, and Li Chenghao was born in 97. They are really younger than him.

The question is, is this the point?
Seeing the blush on her cheeks, Li Chenghao felt extremely helpless.

How long will it take to get drunk?

This amount of alcohol is not bad, it is very bad. Although it seems that she has already drank a glass of red wine in that kind of tall glass, the amount is actually not too small.

So this is called the more food, the more fun?

Fortunately, her assistant came over immediately and dragged her back. She seemed a little drunk, but the wine was not bad, and she didn't make a fuss. She just muttered something like "how can a man not drink?", which made Li Chenghao I can't laugh or cry.

Ordinarily, as the leading actor, many people should have come to drink with him, but it may also be because of Li Chenghao's identity-everyone knows that he brought money into the group.

And seeing that he has never been drinking, no one else came to join in the fun.

At such a happy time, if anyone takes the initiative to cause trouble, he will become a public enemy.

It's one thing for Li Chenghao not to drink. If they make a fuss about it, it's tantamount to making trouble on purpose. Even if they make Li Chenghao unable to step down in the end, they will not feel better.

Only a fool will do this kind of result that hurts both sides.

Obviously, there are no such fools in this crew for the time being, but they are very winking.

It’s just the ones he wasn’t familiar with. Liu Yakun, who had a good relationship with him, even came over to drink a glass of orange juice with him. After drinking it in one gulp, he said, “I did it, you can do whatever you want.” This made Li Chenghao dumbfounded.

Later, Director An also came over to touch his orange juice with wine, and he had no choice but to change the wine - not wanting to drink is one thing, everyone came over, or the director, he had to give it to save face, even if he poured it and only had a sip.

But Director An immediately persuaded him, and then changed his glasses to a glass of orange juice to clink with him.

Now, the rest of the production crew will not come to persuade him to drink, but there are some who want to keep in touch with him in private, and some come to drink orange juice with him just like that.

In the end, Li Chenghao felt embarrassed. In fact, it was certainly not that he couldn't drink, but his drinking capacity was indeed average and he didn't dare to touch it.

Especially in this situation, if you touch it, it may be out of control, so it is better to agree not to drink from the beginning.

But the current scene made Li Chenghao feel like he was being held back.

In the middle, I complained to Xiaowen: "I drank orange juice here by myself and didn't feel that I was an outlier. When they did this, I felt that I was an outlier."

Xiaowen smiled and said: "Then you can drink a little appropriately..."

Li Chenghao hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "Let's talk about it next time, this time first."

It's all over, the finale banquet is almost over, and then I will change the course, maybe some people still think he is playing them?

Except for Li Chenghao, most of the people were drunk. This restaurant is not far from the hotel where they live. When they leave, blowing the wind on the road can help them sober up a little bit. It's just right, so they I have no scruples.

The actors all have agent assistants to help them, and the crew members are all formed together from various departments—this kind of small group formation in the crew is normal, and after leaving the crew, it means that they will naturally disperse.

Anyway, everyone can help each other when the time comes. At worst, there will always be someone who can stay sober. It’s no problem to ask people from restaurants and hotels to help carry people, so even if you are really drunk, you don’t have to worry about it.

And there are really some people who drink very well, their faces are flushed from drinking, but their eyes are clear and their expressions are also sober, and they can help carry people on their backs until the end.

If he still had enough fun, he even planned to go to karaoke later, which was also not far away, so Director An didn't care.

Then the night of wild carnival came to an end. Li Chenghao followed Xiaowen and helped Su Xiaojing's assistant carry her back to the hotel. Xiaowen helped her into the room with her, and then Li Chenghao returned to his room.

Although he didn't drink, he was with a group of drinkers, and he seemed to have a slight smell of alcohol mixed with him.

After smelling it, there was still some smell of sweat. I couldn't bear to fall asleep like this, so I packed up my clothes and took a shower again. This time I felt much better.

He has grown his hair now, but he still maintains his old habit of not blowing it with a hair dryer, and just waiting for it to dry naturally.

That's why he separates washing hair from taking a shower now. Usually, when he comes back from filming and feels scalp discomfort, he will wash his hair first. It doesn't matter if he takes a shower later.

It was probably the atmosphere there today that gave Li Chenghao the feeling that he could finally relax, and he had indeed been quite busy in the past two months.

Fortunately, I didn't ask for leave for the second time to catch up with the schedule, because many of the previous jobs have come to an end or are about to end.

For example, the filming of "Longing" has already ended, and there is one last time for "Heartbeat Signal", but there is no rush at this time, because in general, the filming of the last time is actually finished, and this time it will be the last time to record. It's almost time.

Recording a song and releasing an album is a one-off, and the follow-up promotion will of course have to go, but after that trip before, there will be variety shows, platforms and various self-media in succession for publicity in order to gain traffic, but help him with three songs The popularity is getting higher and higher.

Of course, the song "Protagonist" is the most popular, and the most promotional resources have been invested in this song.

A single song on Penguin Music alone has sold more than 130 million copies, and this is even when there is a cheaper EP album for a single song.

EP has also sold more than 500 million copies. In the next few weeks, the sales only increased by about 500 million, and now it is almost stagnant.

This is also a helpless thing. Those who are really interested have already bought it as early as the first week, and there will be basically no new purchases except for repeated orders.

Unless there are some new exciting points added at this time, this is also the focus of Li Chenghao's next publicity.

I didn't want to use the draft to brag about the sales before. On the one hand, I wanted to see the real results and on the other hand, I didn't want to be slapped in the face.

But now this achievement is worth bragging about, and there are too many drafts, some of which I didn’t pay attention to or didn’t care about before, maybe seeing so many people buying it will make me want to buy it too.

That's right, it's the follower effect.

Going with the flow is the nature of most people, and it is the best point to use in business, so there is the saying of "cutting leeks". Isn't it just like leeks, which are wave after wave?
"The next thing we focus on is the promotional song,"

It was already mid-to-late August, and Li Chenghao, who briefly ended his status as an actor, seamlessly switched to his status as a singer.

Although the recording industry is shrinking now, the ways for singers to make money have not decreased, but have increased.

"First of all, there are fan meetings in several cities. I have already been to Beijing last time. This time I will start with Shanghai, then Yangcheng once, and Shancheng once..."

While Li Chenghao was busy filming on the crew, Yang Taihe was certainly not idle. In addition to still controlling the direction of Shanfeng Entertainment Agency and handling affairs, he was of course obliged to make proper arrangements for Li Chenghao's personal management.

The fan club is the next focus. If the fan club is well managed, it will be easy to cultivate diehard loyalists, and these people will be the main payers for his future endorsements, concerts, film and television dramas, and of course new songs. .

"To be honest, I still feel a little unreal now. An EP album has sales of nearly 5000 million, and more than 1000 million copies. Are there really so many people buying it?"

Although Li Chenghao was able to receive the news on the crew, he did not feel it.

It wasn't until I came back and heard people playing my songs in the square on the road that I realized that it was really popular.

It’s not like Li Chenglan’s nephew’s identity before, or the identity of a variety show cafe. The identity of a singer is more likely to be recognized by the public. They think that stars should be singing, dancing and filming, and they have to be recognized by their achievements. .

Now Li Chenghao has undoubtedly entered this rank, although it is not stable yet.

Yang Taihe laughed and said: "You should have realized it when you heard your song playing in the department store plaza. Actually, it's easy to understand. Now the smell of wine is afraid of deep alleys, but if you find the right way, even a pile of shit It can be blown into fragrance.

"Our company, together with Penguin, and other stakeholders including the film crew, 'Dou Po' production team, Mango TV, etc., are going to end together. It's normal for such a scene to happen.

"In addition, I have to thank you for the short video. I don't know whether it is because more people use your song after it becomes popular, or if the more people use it, it becomes more and more popular. Anyway, many short videos use your song as a BGM is used for film and television and animation editing.”

Li Chenghao's eyes widened, "Is that okay?"

Yang Taihe misunderstood what he meant, shrugged and said, "This piece belongs to the current copyright loophole. We can't help it. As long as people buy songs by themselves and use them in clips, it's not a complete song. It's very difficult to sue." troublesome.

"The main reason is that there are too many, and then relying on the platform. If you sue, you will poke a hornet's nest. If there is no result, you will offend people for nothing. The gain outweighs the loss."

In fact, people have paid to use it, but secondary creation has always been a difficult thing to solve. Most of the time, they can only let it go.

Li Chenghao smiled wryly and said: "That's not what I mean. To be honest, I don't know much about short videos, and I don't watch them much, but I heard that the music that spreads on short videos is easy to become popular.

"But in this way, it's easy to spoil the street..."

Yang Taihe blinked and said: "There is no way, we still suspect that the sales volume will drop so fast in the future, and it has something to do with the spread of the short video. Although there must be some people who want to buy the full version, the resources must have already flowed out..."

"Oh, speaking of this, I almost forgot something. Someone used your song 'Ordinary' to edit another anime. It seems that it became popular and was noticed by the producer. They contacted us and wanted to use this song."

"What animation?" Li Chenghao thought to himself, is he going to follow Zhou Shen's path?

"It seems to be a place where mortals practice cultivation..."

"The Legend of Mortal Cultivation?"

"Oh yes, Mortal Cultivation of Immortality..." Yang Taihe, who was about to look for documents, patted his head, shook his head and said, "When people get old, their memory fades first, so there is no way to get it."

Li Chenghao didn't care about his feelings, frowned and said, "I think I've seen this anime, but I feel like it's not very well done."

"Uh, is that so, then I rejected them?"

"Wait, I'd better find a free time to go and see, what did they say?"

"I want to use your song as the ending song. I think it's very suitable. It's ordinary. I heard that it will be used in the next 'Nian Fan'."

"Nian Fan..." Li Chenghao naturally knew this concept. He gave up after seeing it and thought it was not good enough. He didn't expect to start doing Nian Fan. Could it be that he has grown up later?

It seems that I really have to take a good look at it. If it is really good, then it would be good to cooperate.

In fact, even if it is generally given to them, it is not a loss, anyway, it is a song that has already been released, so this can be regarded as squeezing the remaining value.

"Well, then what?"

There will definitely be fan meetings, as well as commercial performances.

"...There is another live broadcast, Douyu live broadcast, you know?"

"oh, I know……"

"They invited you to join. In fact, it's not just them, but also video platforms such as Acne Printing and Biz.com. You don't have to make a choice, just go and have a look."

"Well, you can arrange it." Li Chenghao didn't say anything, so he was left to arrange and coordinate.

Anyway, the next few days will definitely be busy.
