This trip to Europe was a bit disrupted because Ye Zhiqiu temporarily went to Vienna.

But compared to the impact this time, this price is nothing.

In fact, judging from his top status, Ye Zhiqiu's current work schedule is simply extremely relaxed.

Since Ye Zhiqiu rarely performs in commercials, the brands he accepts as endorsements are also carefully selected. Compared with other artists, he spends a lot less time in this aspect.

For comparison, Zhang Yifan is much busier than Ye Zhiqiu.

A very important characteristic of a traffic star is that you have a youthful lifestyle. The capital behind it supports you. It is not just for you to show off with such a title. The ultimate goal is to make money.

Take Zhang Yifan as an example. Ye Zhiqiu can count the number of endorsements he has received on five fingers, while Zhang Yifan has more than thirty endorsement contracts in total!

Even when filming "The Splendid Young Master", even though he was the male protagonist with the most scenes, Zhang Yifan was not a permanent member of the crew. Instead, he made the most of all his free time during filming to participate in various activities.

In this case, let alone thinking about acting skills, it is almost impossible to ask him to memorize his lines before acting. It is almost impossible to read the lines and numbers during filming, and then use dubbing instead later, which becomes the most "cost-effective" method.

If Ye Zhiqiu lets go of his aggressive activities and endorsements, with his current popularity and status, his ability to attract money will be very scary, but Ye Zhiqiu has no intention of doing so.

Necessary publicity and commercial activities are essential, but he always puts his work first in his positioning, and he attaches great importance to the quality of his own works. All this takes time.

Even so, if we really talk about the ability to attract money, if we include income other than being a singer, Ye Zhiqiu can even compete for the top spot in the entire entertainment industry.

Even if it's not now, it's not far off.

Don’t forget, he also has income from the copyright of the game "Zhu Xian", and at the same time, he also has the IP of the two parts of "Sword of Immortality"...

Nowadays, the subsequent influence of the performance in the Golden Hall is gradually reflected, and many foreign cooperation partners have begun to seek cooperation with Shanghai Huahai Entertainment.

"The first thing." Song Mei looked at the table with a lot of text in her hand and said, "Your piano song "Out of the Western Regions" is very popular, especially in the classical music world."

"There are more than ten performance invitations, all in the past three months, and several of them are quite famous concert halls."

"The company's suggestion is that you can choose one or two to try, but it depends on your opinion."

Ye Zhiqiu took a look at the concert list that was handed over to him. There were people from various countries. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "No, my main focus is on pop music now. Let's forget about classical music."

Classical music is a "big pit", and Ye Zhiqiu is very self-aware of his piano ability.

Even if you have the support of a dazzling music library from your previous life, your performance ability will not come out of thin air.

Nowadays, his playing level can be regarded as a "professional" level, but there is still a long way to go before the "top" level. The success of the performance of "Out of the West" in the Golden Hall is inseparable from the guidance and guidance of the piano master Zillman.

Assistance from the top orchestras.

If he was allowed to hold a solo recital by himself, it would be difficult to achieve the same effect.

Regarding Ye Zhiqiu's decision, Song Mei nodded and said nothing more.

In the beginning, the biggest reason why Huahai Entertainment and Ye Zhiqiu came together was to give each other sufficient autonomy. Now it seems that this decision is undoubtedly the right one.

"There's one more thing about "Out of the West"."

Song Mei smiled and said: "This piano piece was spotted by a foreign movie, and the other party wanted to buy the right to use it as a soundtrack for the movie."

"It is a work by the internationally renowned director Cuarón. The style should be related to the ancient country of Egypt. He felt that this song was very suitable and overturned the previous soundtrack."

Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows and asked: "How big is the contract offered by the other party?"

He has never read this Cuarón work, but he is quite knowledgeable...

"Two million U.S. dollars." Song Mei said, "The other party said that if you are willing to announce it to the crew and play this piano music live for no less than three times, you can get 2.5 million U.S. dollars."

Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, just pay the first price."

Song Mei nodded and added: "This amount is quite fair, and the other party is sincere."

Both automatically ignored the second option.

Not many foreign movie fans know Ye Zhiqiu, and they went there just to help others gain popularity. However, the extra $500,000 is really not worth Ye Zhiqiu's trip abroad, and there are only three performances.

If you really want to act commercially, with Ye Zhiqiu's current net worth, US$500,000 in China is not enough to hire him twice.

However, this song has many benefits as a movie soundtrack. In addition to making money, it also means that Ye Zhiqiu's work has officially entered the mainstream circle of foreign film and television circles.

As for the music circle, the latest B list was announced today. "Out of the West" has ranked 25th, setting a record.

The second thing is the release time of various recent works. The promotion of Yu Caiwei's new album will start tomorrow, and the official release date is set for January 1st, which happens to be the first day of the new year.

"The Legend of Sword" is wrapping up today, and Ye Zhiqiu will leave for the crew a little later, and he will also be involved in the post-production process. As the original author, Ye Zhiqiu's opinion is still very important.

As for "When a Man Loves", Huahai Entertainment doesn't pay much attention to it, or is not too nervous about it.

First, the investment of this movie is only RMB 10,000,000, which is a bit insignificant compared to the huge production of "Sword and Sword One", which cost RMB 150 million.

Second, although the story is very good, the original investment was based on the idea of ​​accompanying Ye Zhiqiu to be "willful". In the end, even if the box office failed, a small loss was acceptable.

Finally, director Zhang Kang and male lead Huang Zhengmin are both extremely experienced people in the industry. It is indeed not difficult to make a low-budget romance film.

After discussing the first two things, another half hour passed, but Song Mei had no intention of stopping.

"The third thing is more important."

Song Mei took a sip of water to moisten her throat and said, "The New Year is coming soon, and preparations are being made for gala shows in various places."

"The chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala has been announced. It is Director Zhao Jinglun."

Ye Zhiqiu said "Oh" and looked surprised.

From the National Day Gala to the Spring Festival Gala, it was really not easy for Zhao Jinglun.

Despite the glamorous title of chief director of an official party, it is actually a hard job.

The tastes of the audience are becoming more and more sophisticated. Most of the Spring Festival Galas in recent years have been criticized more than praised. These galas have many restrictions and cannot make any mistakes. The director can easily become the one taking the blame.

What Ye Zhiqiu didn't know was that it was precisely because of the great success of the National Day Gala that the officials changed their minds and invited Zhao Jinglun to be the chief director.

Naturally, the most outstanding performer at the National Day Gala will not be left out.

With Ye Zhiqiu's popularity this year, there is no reason for his absence.

Song Mei said: "You are officially invited to the Spring Festival Gala. It is a solo performance."
