    "Liu Jin will film "The Legend of Wukong", and popular singer Chu Feng will join the cast" - Yiwang Entertainment News ""The Legend of Wukong" will be put on the screen, Chu Feng may play an important role" - Honglang News "Jumping out of the music scene"  Barriers, Chu Feng steps into the film and television industry" - Yanjing Morning News "Aiming for the big screen, Chu Feng said he disdains being the 'Four Little Kings' of the music industry" - Soumao.com  In just two days, "The Legend of Wukong"  " will be put on the screen, and the news that Chu Feng will enter the film and television industry has become the focus of major media and portal websites.  A novel¡¯s sales exceeded one million in its first week. Such a result may not be news worthy of hype for those best-selling authors who have been famous for many years.  But "The Legend of Wukong" has too many gimmicks. Some media analysts said that the reason why this novel achieved such amazing sales was that even one month after it was released, it was still ranked among the top three in the "New Books Bestseller List of the Month".  The reasons are nothing more than the following three points.  First, this achievement was set by a new author. Even if it does not break the highest record for a new work by a new author in the Chinese book market, the sales of more than one million are enough to make people stunned.  Secondly, the author of this book, the mysterious and low-key An Fusheng, was regarded as an idol by Emperor Yongle. Similarly, the third point was because of the recommendation of the Chinese prince Li Jin.  As the most popular royal family members in China, Emperor Yongle and Brother Jin have attracted much attention from the media and thousands of netizens for their every move.  Therefore, it is very reasonable that the novels that both of them recommended at the same time exceeded one million in sales in the first week.  Of course, this is inseparable from An Fusheng's popularity due to "Harry Potter" and his gradually expanding influence and appeal. Moreover, "The Legend of Wukong" has a very high reputation among readers, especially among young readers.  Love and admire.  In this month, you can see netizens quoting classic quotations from novels almost everywhere on the Internet.  Therefore, when the media revealed that the famous director Liu Jin was going to put this popular novel on the big screen, it undoubtedly made the already popular topic of "The Legend of Wukong" become more popular again.  Although "The Legend of Wukong" was only one month after publication, it was about to be put on the screen. It seemed a bit too hasty. Even if the media hadn't revealed that it was directed by Liu Jin and the investor was the famous Oriental Film and Television Company,  I'm afraid many people will treat this news as a joke.  After the investors repeatedly confirmed that they had obtained the film copyright of the novel from the original author An Fusheng and had begun preparations for filming, the media unanimously exclaimed that Oriental Film and Television had really seized the right opportunity this time.  By the time An Ran finished recording [Young Man Goes Forward], the sales volume of "The Legend of Wukong" had exceeded 2.5 million within thirty days, and versions in different languages ??will soon be released in Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea.  According to media estimates, even if the movie "The Legend of Monkey King" starts to be filmed now, it will not be released until the October holiday next year at the earliest. By that time, "The Legend of Monkey King", which is a hot seller in Asia, has already contributed to the movie's box office.  A good audience base has been laid.  Just as the media commented, Oriental Film and Television Production Company's actions this time are really decisive, straightforward and courageous.  And one of the consequences of the media's hype about the news that "The Legend of Monkey King" will be put on the screen is that the topic of the "Four Little Heavenly Kings", which originally caused widespread controversy, has not received much attention as before.  Especially after the news that Chu Feng will join the movie filming and play an important role, even the protagonist, was exposed by the media, the discussion on who among the "four little kings" of the music industry should be ranked first has ceased.  As a music critic lamented in a meager article, with such a big production serving as a springboard for Chu Feng to enter the film and television industry, it is completely meaningless to argue about the "Four Little Kings".  In this era when records have completely declined, according to ordinary standards, it will take at least nearly ten years for a singer to go from being a fledgling singer to a five-star performer. This can only be achieved with the help of one or two hot songs.  In the past ten years, the income of this five-star singer from paid downloads on the Internet, including commercial performances, has only exceeded 10 million. After deducting the share of the Internet platform, the company, and taxes, it does not even reach the 10 million yuan.  to ten million.  Of course, popular singers like Chu Feng, An Ran and other "Four Little Kings" cannot be calculated based on common sense, but then again, looking at the entire Chinese music scene, how many singers like them are there?  I'm afraid I can count them all on one hand.  " Moreover, even as a leader among the new generation of singers, it took Chu Feng eight years to reach the six-star level. The manpower and material resources behind this are absolutely huge.? number.  Six-star singers are only one step away from becoming a superstar. Although this step is difficult to cross, and countless senior singers have died within this step, six-star singers are definitely considered big names in the music world.  It's enough to stir up a storm.  But big names are also divided into levels. They are also big names. Compared with the music industry and the film and television industry, there is a huge difference. A big-name actor who has the same status as a six-star singer in the music world will be paid at least as much as a movie.  Eight million, ten million is also common.  If you calculate it further upward, it is even more terrifying. Six-star singers are generally over 30 years old, and among seven- to eight-star singers, the youngest ones are already in their 40s. With their age  , actors with equal status in their respective fields are in their prime of acting at this age.  And due to physical, breath and other reasons, singers of this age have few years left to sing.  Therefore, the contrast is obvious. The same artists, in the same entertainment circle, some people become famous because of a movie, and their fame and fortune come rolling in, while some people sing a famous song, but their income is pitiful.  ¡°If Chu Feng knocks on the door of the film and television industry through this big production, his development prospects will no longer be limited by a small music scene.  Even if his performance is mediocre, Chu Feng will get a very good start. As long as he opens up his acting career, with his current popularity and amphibious development, the future is bright.  And for such an opportunity, I don¡¯t know how many singers who hope to sing and act are looking forward to it but can¡¯t get it.  Therefore, it is no wonder that when the news came out that Chu Feng might become the protagonist of "The Legend of Wukong", people no longer talked about topics such as the "Four Little Kings".  The pool of water in the music world is too shallow after all. No matter how many fish and shrimps make waves, if you can't break through the water and become a dragon, and you can't reach the level of a superstar or even a king, you will end up dying on the beach.  ??This truth is well understood by everyone in the industry. Fame and wealth are used as the criterion. It may seem cold, but it is extremely realistic.  And this also made the other three people who were also listed as the "Four Little Kings" by the media during this period of time, completely turned into the background and became the foil behind Chu Feng.  However, the matter is not over yet.  While the media continued to hype "The Legend of Wukong" and Chu Feng and other related news, An Ran, who had been busy in Huaxia Brothers' recording studio for two days, finally took time to come to Oriental Film and Television with two assistants, Liu Mo and Liu Zidong.  Attend an audition.  Liu Zidong drove along the intercity express from the University Town. It took him a full hour to enter the area of ??Yanjing Cinemas located in the east of the capital.  Yanjing Cinemas, the full name of which is Yanjing International Cinemas, does not refer specifically to a certain company or a certain shooting base, but rather accommodates more than 20 large and small film and television production companies, and more than a dozen new and old theaters.  There are various cinemas and two movie cities across the canal.  In addition, China¡¯s well-known music companies and several technology buildings related to the film industry are also located here.  Counting the surrounding villa areas and commercial streets, this entire area covers an area of ??two thousand acres.  An Ran looked at the crowds of people outside the car window and couldn't help but feel a little lost. "Even Hollywood in the previous life was not this big." "Hollywood? What Hollywood?" Looking back from the window, Liu Mo looked suspicious.  An Ran chuckled and shook his head, with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes. There is no Hollywood in this world anymore. Yanjing Cinema has many names, Yanjing International Film and Television Center, Yanjing Film and Television Center, Yanjing Film Park, etc., no matter  No matter how it is called, in this life, there is no doubt that this is the holy land in the minds of the world's filmmakers.  The car passed through three blocks and soon came to the downstairs of the Oriental Film and Television Building. Looking around at the movie posters, the dense crowds of people coming for sightseeing, and the artist nanny vans that can be seen everywhere on the street.  An Ran feels that only by being here can he feel what it means to be the center of the entertainment industry. In the past few months since his rebirth, no matter how much he has struggled, he has only been drifting on the edge.  Taking a deep breath, An Ran raised his head slightly, squinted at the companies lined up on the street, and murmured, "This kind of smell is really fascinating." For no reason, An Ran felt very motivated, "From now on  , Build a building next to the canal as the headquarters of Huaxia Brothers. Well, it needs to have a garden, a square and a fountain Well, there also needs to be staff dormitories" "Liu Zidong! Do you have any cold medicine?"  Mo picked up the bag and shouted.  Liu Zidong had just parked the car and shook his head inexplicably when Liu Mo reached out and pointed at An Ran, "This classmate has a fever. He has been talking nonsense here for a long time." An Ran:  Rolled his eyes, An Ran was too lazy to argue with some people with low consciousness. As the staff who came to greet him walked into the building, several people took the elevator straight to the seventeenth floor.  There was a long queue in the wide hall. In the room opposite the hall, people kept coming out with either disappointment or joy.  An Ran was slightly surprised. Oriental Film and Television moved so fast. They had already started casting. If there weren't a lot of post-production special effects to be done, I'm afraid at this speed, this movie could be finished in seven or eight months.  Bypassing the team, the three of them followed the staff into the temporary preparation office. A female person in charge, about forty years old, still charming and smartly dressed, greeted them.  "Hello, this is An Ran. I am Zheng Lan, the assistant director of "The Legend of Wukong"." "Hello, Director Zheng, please take care of me." An Ran's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered slightly.  When a film industry giant like Oriental Film and Television shoots a movie, it usually consists of a producer, director, supervisor, and assistant director. Generally, only the assistant director is needed for casting. But two days ago, Sun Mingliang received the  The call was in the hope that An Ran could come and audition for the four leading roles.  The selection of the leading actor is directly related to the box office of a movie. It is understandable that the producer will not be present, because most of the producers are high-level executives of investors, or even CEOs. As the director, Liu Jin will not be present, which means  Son, I couldn't help but think deeply about it.  To put it bluntly, the assistant director is just a senior handyman. Even an actor with a little bit of role may not be confirmed by an assistant director.  "Xiao An is really young. I heard that you are only seventeen years old this year. Tsk, you definitely have a bright future. I really like listening to your songs." Looking at Zheng Lan's familiar look, An Ran couldn't help but smile.  Change, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Director Zheng won the award, I didn't know that today" Zheng Lan smiled and looked at An Ran for a moment, nodded, "I have communicated with Director Liu about your image before, he hopes you can try it today  For the role of Sun Wukong, um I still need to put on makeup. Come with me." An Ran followed Zheng Lan with a hint of amusement on her lips. She didn't even have to explain the director's absence.  ¡°Moreover, this Director Zheng really regarded him as a young man who didn¡¯t understand anything.  ¡­(To be continued.
