Become Famous Another Day - Chapter 450
There will be a lot of design on the screen to give the movie a unique style. Even the audience will know whose work this movie is at the first sight. There are really only two directors in Lu Yanhe’s impression: Wes Anderson and Wong Kar-Wai.
The look of their films is so personal. Many people imitated, but no one surpassed it.
He had no intention of making “Love Letter” into a movie with a particularly unique style and unique images.
However, he hopes that the movie “Love Letter” will maintain a unified tone in terms of pictures, music and performances, so that the whole movie can maintain the tone of “looking back on the past of youth”.
When filming the scene where the male Huai Jingshu stood by the window of the library and the curtains were floating and falling in the wind, Lu Yanhe first summoned the entire film crew.
“This shot will be difficult to shoot. In the movie, this shot only lasts about ten seconds, but it is very important.” Lu Yanhe said, “Teacher Bao, Wu Zhou, I leave this shot to you, storyboard You have all seen the draft. The feeling I want is a scene that will appear in girls’ memories. It has the filter of memories, but it is not like an idol drama. There is no such filter at all. I am The guy in the camera is very silent, very clean, and very confusing to the girl. I want this feeling.”
Wu Zhou suddenly became a little nervous.
This is the first time since the filming started that Lu Yanhe has so solemnly explained to them how important a shot is.
Bao Wenliang nodded and said, “It’s not evening yet, and the light of the sunset hasn’t come out yet. Should we start shooting now?”
Lu Yanhe said: “Test the light first and take a test shot. When the light is ready, we won’t have time to make adjustments.”
Bao Wenliang understood, nodded and made an OK gesture.
Lu Yanhe felt that it was strangely divided. He had to direct the play while also getting into the role.
There was no need to film Zhang Ruozhi in this section.
However, Zhang Ruozhi still sat behind the table and helped Lu Yanhe with the scene.
“Ruoruo, you don’t have to help me with the scene.” Lu Yanhe saw this and said, “You won’t be filmed in this part, and there are no lines between us.”
Zhang Ruozhi said: “In the script, I am looking at you in this part. I have to look at you. There should be my gaze in this shot.”
Lu Yanhe’s heart thumped.
Zhang Ruozhi smiled shyly, as if he was not confident in what he just said.
Lu Yanhe nodded, came to his senses, and gave her a thumbs up to express his gratitude.
Lu Yanhe was really surprised, even unbelievable.
He never thought that Zhang Ruozhi would take the initiative to make such a statement.
It’s not that she’s not in this shot, her gaze must be in this shot.
Although Zhang Ruozhi is a new actor who has just started filming for a few days, Lu Yanhe feels that he will remember these words for a long time.
–
If the filming of “Love Letter” went so smoothly that their crew felt like a quiet paradise, and everyone filmed the movie in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere every day, then outside of “Love Letter”, the entertainment industry was strange lively.
Ma Zhiyuan pretended to be dead, pretended to be a coward, and did not come out to respond to Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai’s words, but he still appeared on the stage of “Idol Era”.
The entire show was as if this incident had not happened, as if everyone in the show had lost the memory of this period, and everyone could still talk and laugh, and praise each other’s performances.
In the movie market, a martial arts action movie called “Nine Yins” came out, with a box office of 2.37 million on the first day. The next day, the box office surged to 14.29 million on Saturday. By Sunday, it reversed the decline and made 22.12 million. In terms of box office results, the film is a dark horse.
Another animated film called “Angry Crow” was also a big hit, with a box office of over 80 million on the first day and over 100 million on the next day.
The two movies kicked off the summer season, and also made “The Lost Road”, which is about to be released the next week, a little uneasy, because “The Nine Shadows” and “Angry Crow” performed so well at the box office. If the trend continues, then It will inevitably cannibalize the film schedule that “A Man on the Road” could have obtained.
Since it cannot be released during the Spring Festival, it can only be moved to the summer release. The theme of this movie cannot match the hot topics in society, so the promotion strategy can only be changed accordingly, focusing more on comedy for promotion.
Jia Long took Wang Dashan to do some road shows, one after another.
In each scene, guest stars will appear on stage together to promote the movie.
The screening screenings of “On the Road” were very popular and everyone laughed like crazy.
Li Bi shot a documentary to record how many times the audience at a screening screen laughed in total while watching the movie.
Chen Siqi marketed a topic called: They laughed 172 times while watching “The Journey”. Do you want to know how many times you will laugh?
The topic was trending three days before the release of “On the Road”, and I spent money to buy it.
But as soon as this topic became popular, the number of readings and discussions exploded.
The filmmakers of “The Lost Way” have been collecting feedback from audiences at select screenings. The key word is funny.
When collecting feedback from netizens who have not watched the movie but have started discussing it on social platforms, they found that among those who have opinions about not wanting to watch the movie, the most common comment is that they actually feel that it is a good movie. The trailer of the film looks very rural, not too urban. They don’t want to watch a local-themed movie, even if it’s a comedy.
As soon as “The Lost Way” shared this information with Chen Siqi, Chen Siqi immediately said: “When it is released, we will make a topic to directly address the points that everyone is concerned about, and it will be called ‘How did the “Unfunny Way” do it again? “It’s both silly and funny.” Let’s play straight and face the audience’s resistance to our movie, and see if we can make the movie more funny, dilute their resistance, and get them to go to the cinema. “
Chen Siqi is now the royal publicity ambassador for the film and television dramas created by Lu Yanhe, and basically undertakes the publicity work for every drama produced by Lu Yanhe.
Moreover, in her own words – true lovers settle accounts clearly. All producers and distributors who come to her for marketing plans have no problem, but the money they should give cannot be less. Even though this drama, Lu Yanhe is the main creator.
Chen Siqi, who has several successful marketing cases, certainly has the confidence to say this.
Lu Yanhe really couldn’t spare the time to go to the promotional site of “On the Road”, so he could only record some promotional materials and highlights and provide them to the producers and distributors for regular publicity to maintain the popularity of “On the Road”.
As of Thursday, the total box office of this movie has exceeded 2 million. Including pre-sale box office, the box office has exceeded 30 million.
This is the appeal of comedy great Jia Long.
As long as it is a comedy starring Jia Long, the market will definitely be full of expectations.
Jia Long’s appeal in the comedy film market is in the first echelon in China.
For this movie, the stop loss point of this movie is about 200 million – the publicity and distribution expenses of this movie are very high. To be precise, almost all comedy movies that aim to achieve high box office have high publicity and distribution expenses. . And this movie is not easy to promote the production cost, because this movie does not invest much in hard industry. In terms of the production of this movie, Jia Long and Lu Yanhe were the most expensive, and the salary was second. The main reason is that they also received dividends. This dividend made the stop loss point of this movie higher than that of conventional movies.
In such a big environment, it is actually difficult for the public to accept it – you and a few of you occupy the main production funds of a movie. The public can accept that special effects are expensive, scenery is expensive, and other production aspects are expensive, but they cannot accept that it is expensive to spend a lot of money on a few people.
However, in the film and television industry, what you put a price on actually depends on nothing else, but what role you play and what position you occupy in the movie.
Why do many Hollywood comedy movies only cost 40 million US dollars to produce, but the leading actor can get 20 million plus box office dividends? Because according to the logic of the market, this movie is sold by this starring actor. Without this lead actor, no one would watch this movie. Even if others have done a lot and paid a lot, even under the concept of “film is the director’s art”, no one cares who your director is. Sorry, the person the market is willing to pay for is not you, but the leading actor.
Jia Long is such a existence.
Lu Yanhe’s salary as a screenwriter is certainly not comparable to Jia Long’s, but his subsequent share of income is not much lower than Jia Long’s. This is what Jia Long secured for him. At that time, Lu Yanhe was working as a screenwriter for the first time. Under normal circumstances, he would not be able to enjoy so much subsequent share of the profits. Long-term income basically has nothing to do with new screenwriters. But with Jia Long’s persistence and Lu Yanhe, he got such treatment in his first movie.
Lu Yanhe also wants to know how much box office “On the Road” can get in this time and space.
In its original world, this movie made nearly 40 million at the box office in 2010, making a fortune. The second part even broke the box office record of domestic movies.
The situation has changed now. One is that the market is very large, much larger than the box office market in the world in 2010. The other is that the movie now stars Jia Long, and when the bald man starred, it was not a later one. Comedy superstar.
Under this circumstance, Lu Yanhe believes that a box office of over 100 million is the pass mark. If the box office exceeds 200 million, then one can directly rely on the theater box office revenue to repay the investment, without having to wait for various copyrights and long-term profits later.
And if “The Journey” can exceed 300 million, it will be considered a success.
This is why many film companies were more cautious when Jia Long approached film and television companies to cooperate. The box office prospects of this movie are not great, and the investment cost is high. For them, there is not that much profit margin. With the same production budget, if you make another movie, the return may be much greater, so why would they invest in “The Lost Road”.
Of course, if the conditions are right, they are also willing to invest in a movie starring Jia Long – but the subsequent dividends required by Jia Long become a barrier to their willingness to extend this olive branch.
–
On July 12th, “Unfortunately” was officially released.
On the first day of release, the promoters focused on the keywords that Jia Long’s new film was released and ranked first in pre-sales, and conducted extensive publicity.
Also released on the same day is an urban action comedy film “City Raiders”.
“The Angry Crow” still remains in the first place with 21% of the film schedule. As of yesterday Thursday, its box office has stabilized at more than 60 million. The total box office has now exceeded 1 billion, becoming the biggest box office dark horse this year, and ” “Nine Yin” also maintained a steady trend and still retained 14% of its film schedule in the next week.
Compared with the all-star lineup of “City Raiders”, “Jia Long” only has one big star in “Jia Long”. The managers of the theater chain finally gave more films to “City Raiders” and got 22%. , while the film schedule of “The Lost Road” is only 17%.
Of course, in reality, this film scheduling rate is not low.
As of 12:00 noon, “City Raiders” temporarily ranked first in the daily box office list with a box office of 52 million, while “Unfortunately” ranked second with 35 million.
“Angry Crow” and “Nine Shadows” are both lower.
However, by 5 p.m., “Angry Crow” quickly overtook the box office.
“City Raiders” suffered from negative reviews from the first batch of viewers, and its growth slowed down.
The first batch of audiences for “The Lost Journey” received very high reviews.
Li Bi was directly stationed outside a cinema in Yuming, interviewing viewers who watched “On the Road” and asking them to share their experience of watching the movie. A lottery was held every thirty minutes, which included red envelopes, mobile phones, and signed photos of celebrity artists. , “People on the Road” movie tickets…The number of viewers in the live broadcast room has always remained at the level of tens of thousands of people watching at the same time.
At night, the prime time comes.
“Angry Crow” reaches its largest audience – children and their parents.
“City Raiders” relied on the momentum and momentum of blockbusters. Although it had a poor reputation, it still held up at the box office.
“Unfortunately” relied on comedy to maintain its attendance rate.
On the first day, “City Raiders” won the box office championship today with 76.2 million, “Angry Crow” ranked second with 64.2 million, and “The Road” ranked third with 58 million.
However, the reputation of “City Raiders” as a bad movie has also begun to spread widely on the Internet, and many people have complained about it.
–
Lu Yanhe took everyone to watch the premiere of “A Man on the Road” on Friday night.
Fortunately, we booked the venue in advance, otherwise, we really wouldn’t be able to get tickets.
There are not many movie theaters in Jiangzhi, only three. Therefore, on a time like Friday night, it is usually full.
It was the first time that he had finished reading “The Lost Journey” in its entirety.
Although he knew exactly how the plot unfolded and what lines everyone was going to say next, when that scene appeared on the screen, Lu Yanhe still couldn’t hold back his laughter.
The best thing about “The Lost Way” is that it always puts comedy first, and everything else must give way to comedy.
Therefore, generally audiences who walk into the cinema with high expectations for this movie will not leave disappointed.
These days, audiences are also afraid of movies that are trying to be misleading.
This is Lu Yanhe’s first film to be released as a screenwriter.
When all the members of the crew were still laughing with joy after watching the movie, when they thought of this, the veterans, including Bao Wenliang, became more complicated towards Lu Yanhe.
In fact, many staff members, including Bao Wenliang, felt that the script of “Love Letter” was very average. If this movie were just expressed in words, it would actually be quite bloody. This is also the reason why everyone didn’t think much of Lu Yanhe’s self-written, directed and starred films at first.
However, comedy is one of the most popular themes. The most intuitive criterion for evaluating whether a comedy is good or not is whether you laugh from beginning to end. This kind of emotional feedback is also the most intuitive. If at this time, you can add a little bit of value and meaning that is not offensive or obtrusive, then this movie will basically have one foot in the door of a classic comedy.
Just now, the burst of laughter that echoed throughout the theater was the most powerful proof.
In this industry, in the final analysis, performance should speak for itself.
“Unfortunately” did not rank first at the box office on its first day, but it did not fall behind and remained in the first echelon.
Faced with the star-studded blockbuster “City Raiders” and the dark horse of the year “Angry Crow”, the fact that “The Road” can still achieve such results shows its quality.
The social topic marketing ideas that Chen Siqi had previously designed also began to be promoted the next day.
—How did “People on the Road” manage to be both earthy and funny?
– Jia Long and Lu Yanhe hand-picked Wang Dashan to star in “People on the Road”, betting a comedy movie on a newcomer who has never acted before, a bole in the entertainment industry.
—How did a sophisticated man succeed in being conquered by a naive man? !
…
This last topic is Chen Siqi’s special joke point designed for online communication.
Hot searches are pushed to their respective target audiences in turn. The main purpose is to arouse as much as possible people’s desire to go to the cinema and watch the movie.
Of course, the biggest publicity point is the audience’s reputation of “Awkward Journey”.
Li Bi led his live broadcast team to conduct a twelve-hour live broadcast in front of the cinema. He invited the audience to share their experience of watching the movie, and continued to draw prizes –
So much so that Li Bi’s incident has become a meme on the Internet.
A movie written by the boss must be promoted well by employees even if they forget about food and sleep.
From now on, every actor might as well arrange a video anchor for himself like Lu Yanhe.
Too versatile.
Under this circumstance, with little change in the second day’s film schedule, “Awkward” took in 81.24 million at the box office on Saturday, slightly inferior to “Angry Crow”‘s 87.5 million, while the all-star cast of “City Raiders” “, affected by the decline in word-of-mouth, the box office did not increase but fell on Saturday, with only 68.7 million. “Nine Yin”, which ranked fourth, still received more than 50 million at the box office. It seems that it will surpass “City Raiders” on Sunday. Return to the top three camps.
Lu Yanhe was particularly happy to receive the box office success report from Jia Long in the creative group.
He reposted a poster from the crew celebrating the 100 million box office hit. Li Zhibai immediately forwarded it and said: It’s awesome. A movie written by a first-time screenwriter has exceeded 100 million in box office within two days of its release. Haha, let those who thought this movie could not have a high box office regret it.
Yan Liang also forwarded: It’s awesome, it’s awesome. Let’s continue to book the theater tomorrow. Please watch the movie and wait for my news tomorrow!
Lu Yanhe’s network of connections in the industry cannot be said to be extensive. He’s not a particularly social person.
However, people who have worked with Lu Yanhe basically maintain a good relationship with him. After working together once, they will work together again in the future.
This time the movie was released, Lu Yanhe did not send private messages to everyone asking for help in promoting it. However, everyone has continued to spontaneously recommend this movie on their own social platforms.
Like Yan Liang, he has work these days and doesn’t have time to watch it yet, but he has reserved the show online for two consecutive days, and will continue on the third day tomorrow, inviting his fans to watch “On the Road”.
Like Li Zhibai, on the day it was released on Sunday, he posted a eloquent post about his feelings about watching the movie.
Not to mention the “Young Days” gang, they all posted articles recommending it.
When Jia Long was on the road show, he joked with the media: “Although Yan He only made a cameo in this movie, half of his circle of friends are in this movie. It’s a pity that he was filming “Love Letter” ”, so he couldn’t join our road show. However, he was too awesome to join on his own, but he invited a guest guest to join our road show in every road show. He is really a good person. That’s why everyone is willing to help him do this.”
Some media asked: “Mr. Jia, during the preparation process of the movie, did you and Lu Yanhe have any disputes? After all, you are the starring and he is the screenwriter. Are there any creative differences between the two of you?”
Jia Long: “Actually, if you understand what kind of person Yan He is, you won’t ask such questions. I heard some directors tell me that Lu Yanhe is a person on the set. Even if he doesn’t understand, he will definitely listen. The director directs the actors. At first, I thought this was too unassertive, but after I talked to him once, he told me that if every department in a movie is made up of really great and talented people. , the movie produced by such a lineup may not be good, because there are conflicts between each other. This is not adding, or subtracting. It is very likely that the film will be a mess. And if a project exists, there is only one special one. People who are independent-minded and have the right ideas may not be as outstanding as others, but the things they make will definitely not be bad, because everyone’s ability is to add to the above, even if they can’t add much, at least they won’t be able to do it. Subtraction. I understood why he achieved so much at such a young age.”
“He understands characters, scripts, how to choose projects, and how to read the production team. The most important thing is that he understands his own position and will never let others implement his opinions just because he has the ability and the right to speak. He lost his sense of proportion and overstepped his bounds. After the script for the film “The Road to Misfortune” came out, he had a serious chat with me several times to confirm that he and I were generally consistent in our vision and ideas for the film before we decided to cooperate. . And once this was determined, he safely handed over the entire project to me, including the selection of the director, and other shooting matters, and he never interfered with Dashan again, because we never found the right one. The actor suddenly came across Dashan one day and thought it was a good fit, so he excitedly introduced him to me and asked me to meet him. “
“It is very comfortable to work with Lu Yanhe in a movie. He respects everyone. He may have a lot of considerations and hesitations before deciding to work with you, but once he decides, he will fully trust you. ”
After Jia Long said this, he smiled at the media.
“Do you think he will still quarrel with me because of creative differences?”
The media published what Jia Long said intact.
–
At the same time, with the release of “People on the Road”, Wang Dashan also became popular.
Entertainment critic Guan Suchen said: Lu Yanhe once again made a new star that no one knew before.
Niu Geng, played by Wang Dashan, is completely the soul of “On the Road”, even more prominent than Jia Long.
Several famous scenes in the movie are all about the character Niugeng.
The scene of Wang Dashan drinking a bucket of milk at the airport in one breath was also posted online by the film crew on the fifth day after its release. It was used as a promotional clip and promoted throughout the Internet.
This shot uses a long lens.
There are no editing points in between.
Only in this way is it real, and it is shocking because of the truth.
At that time, Jia Long and the director agreed that they would only shoot one scene and Wang Dashan could not be allowed to drink twice.
I rehearsed that scene five times just to get it over with.
Wang Dashan’s performance shocked everyone.
It was really a passing experience.
Although many actors are starring in a movie, and the movie sells well and is relatively popular, the starring role itself is not well remembered by the audience, or it is not converted into a liking emotion.
But Wang Dashan’s performance in “The Lost Road” is absolutely impossible to ignore. As long as you like the movie “Unfortunately”, you will definitely like the character of Niu Geng, and then you will have an extra layer of filter for actor Wang Dashan. This is the charm that movie actors are given by roles and movies. The cornerstone of “Unfortunate Journey” is actually the character of the burdock.
How popular is Wang Dashan?
A lot of things he did in film school were revealed. This is the proof of fame – if it is just a hype, no one will care about the person’s past.
However, Wang Dashan also fell into a very embarrassing situation. That is, many people think he is very rustic. Although he is popular, he is not liked and recognized by the mainstream of the entertainment industry.
When many people in the industry talk about this young man who has just become famous, their unanimous reaction is that they are not optimistic that he can continue to be popular.
Because he has no idol temperament.
There are not many such discussions.
Before Wang Dashan had finished the road show of “On the Road,” the media asked this question in person.
“Many people say that your image restricts your future acting career. What do you think of this problem?”
Wang Dashan was a little confused, scratched his head and said, “I don’t know.”
“Are there any new shooting plans later?”
Wang Dashan shook his head, “Not yet.”
The media said: “I was worried. The box office of my first starring movie was so good. If I couldn’t play the leading role in the future, would you accept it?”
Wang Dashan still has the same boring character, saying: “If you can’t play the leading role, just play a supporting role.”
“Don’t you feel lost?”
“I don’t know.” Wang Dashan said, “I don’t feel what you are telling me now. Now everyone is praising me when they see me and want to cooperate with me. I don’t feel what you said.”
reporter:”…”
–
Lu Yanhe looked at this part of Wang Dashan’s interview and sighed softly.
The entertainment industry is indeed too realistic.
The doubts, neglect, and disapproval that Wang Baoqiang had experienced now happened to Wang Dashan again.
Lu Yanhe sent a message to Wang Dashan: The media likes to stir up trouble. As long as the show is good, the show will become wider and wider. You acted in “People on the Road” and Teacher Jia Long signed you to his company, which shows that you are not just a Playing the role of burdock is the best proof.
Wang Dashan: Yeah.
Wang Dashan added: I know I am very lucky to have been given the opportunity to star in “The Lost Road”. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.
Lu Yanhe: Then I also thank you for playing the burdock so well. Let’s work hard together.
Wang Dashan: Yeah.
–
Wang Dashan is not a person who expresses emotions very well. Lu Yanhe felt this when he met Wang Dashan for the first time.
He’s kind of honest and sincere.
Probably because he really liked Wang Baoqiang before, Lu Yanhe loves Wuji Wudi a little and hopes Wang Dashan develops well.
Just like Wang Baoqiang, let those who don’t think highly of him, question him, and ridicule him realize what a big mistake they have made.
–
One week after its release, “On the Road” grossed more than 250 million in box office.
However, “City Raiders”, which was released on the same day, has not yet exceeded 200 million. The worst part is that its strips are no longer stretchable. New films are coming at a rapid pace. A science fiction film called “Automata” and a romantic comedy called “My Neighbor” are entering the market non-stop. On Friday, the film schedule was divided by about 35% between the two new films.
Due to its good trend, “Journey to the Road” still received a 17% film scheduling rate on the following Friday, stabilizing its base and allowing it to continue to welcome audiences on weekends.
After being released for two weeks, the little dark horse “Nine Yin” has only maintained its box office in the range of two to three million on weekdays. Basically, it can no longer take the big hit. After the film schedule was divided, more than half of it was given to two million. Of the new films, a small half went to “Angry Crow,” which is still going strong.
“Nine Yin” currently has a box office of 410 million, and it is expected that the final box office may successfully exceed 450 million. With luck, if the long tail effect can last a little longer, it can also exceed 500 million. It depends on what happens later.
“Angry Crow” was such a hit that even two weeks of screening did not affect its popularity in the market. With a total box office of over 1.8 billion, it still maintains tens of millions in box office revenue on weekdays, and on weekends, it can obviously earn another 200-300 million.
The total box office estimate of “Unfortunately” has reached 600 million from professional box office forecasting agencies.
Where it ends up depends on how it performs next weekend.
–
“How big do you think the box office of “Unfortunately” will be in the end?”
At the executive meeting of Longyan Pictures, Mrs. Huang made a rare appearance at this meeting—she basically does not formally participate in company meetings. She often directly enters film projects as a producer or in other capacities, using her power to promote the advancement of the project.
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard Mrs. Huang’s question, and no one spoke for a while.
The main reason is that no one knows the purpose of Mrs. Huang suddenly raising this question.
However, we can’t let the place stay cold for too long.
Someone tentatively said: “About 600-700 million. The investment in this movie is actually not large. It was mainly spent on Jia Long and Lu Yanhe. In fact, they can now get so much box office, which has exceeded The industry expected it.”
“Well, so, I would also like to know why the movie “Journey to the Road” was able to achieve a box office that exceeded our expectations? Has anyone analyzed the reasons?”
Someone said: “The main reason is that it stars Jia Long. The name of the comedy movie starring Jia Long is enough to attract many viewers to the cinema. In addition, the quality of the movie is very good and it has formed a good reputation. This The film’s subsequent box office has also stabilized, giving it a longer window.”
Mrs. Huang said: “When this project was originally created, everyone noticed that Jia Long starred in the role, and they also considered the attraction of Lu Yanhe as the screenwriter. However, almost without exception, everyone thought that this film was The estimated box office is only about 200 to 300 million, and the profit margin is very limited. Why can such a so-called rural comedy film with the background of Spring Festival achieve such good box office results now, and also in such an unsuitable summer? files?”
“The quality of the movie is really good.” Someone said, “I went to see this movie. In the cinema I was in, everyone laughed almost from the beginning to the end. Lu Yanhe’s script is very good, with golden sentences and jokes. After all, the actors also performed well. I haven’t had this kind of experience from beginning to end in a long time.”
Huang Tai nodded.
“On the contrary, the movie “City Raiders” has how many movie stars? It can be said to be an all-star cast, but the box office is not satisfactory. Now it seems that the final total box office may not exceed 300 million.”
“The quality of “City Raiders” can’t be said to be very bad, but in such a period, there are several well-reputed movies on the market such as “Angry Crow”, “Unfortunately” and “Jiu Yin”, so it is not It is the first choice of many passers-by.”
“You mean, if “City Raiders” was released on a movie schedule that didn’t have a good reputation, its box office would be much better?”
“I think so.”
Mrs. Huang nodded, “Then I would like to ask, when the script for the movie “The Journey” was sent over, why didn’t any of us see the potential of this script?”
Everyone looked at each other.
Mrs. Huang said: “It’s because the screenwriter of this script is Lu Yanhe. So, even if you think the script is good, you still can’t believe it’s the first time an artist is a screenwriter, right?”
There was silence in the conference room.
–
On the other hand, Lang Xia’s agent He Yingzi also had a sour tone and said to Lang Xia: “I really don’t understand Lu Yanhe. He is an actor himself, but he did not arrange for himself to be the protagonist of this movie. Instead, he gave it to a newcomer. The leading actor, Wang Dashan, has become an instant hit and has fully enjoyed the dividends brought by the movie, while Lu Yanhe, a screenwriter, has basically made no splash. “
Lang Xia didn’t speak.
No matter what, Lu Yanhe is not comparable to him now. If he still complains about Lu Yanhe, then what does he mean if he doesn’t even achieve half of Lu Yanhe’s grades?
He Yingzi asked: “Have you gone to see the movie “Unfortunately”?”
Lang Xia shook his head, “No.”
He Yingzi said: “You can go and take a look if you have time.”
Lang Xia asked: “After seeing it, what happens next? Are you constantly regretting that you messed up your relationship with Lu Yanhe?”
“You.” He Yingzi smiled, as if he didn’t take this to heart at all, “Why are you anxious? In a place like the entertainment industry, you can sing and I will go on stage. “Flowers on the Stars” will be released soon. The estimates from box office forecasting agencies are very good, so why should you belittle yourself?”
Lang Xia was silent.
He Yingzi said: “Besides, Lu Yanhe is both a director and a screenwriter. Running so many tracks at the same time will inevitably distract him a lot of energy. It can be seen from the current situation that his popularity and fans The viscosity is still not as good as that of Li Zhibai, and you are not much worse than him.”
“This business is not just about popularity.”
“In this industry, just one actor is not enough.” He Yingzi said, “As long as you are still at this table, no matter how successful Lu Yanhe is, it will not affect your ability to eat.”
Lang Xia glanced at He Yingzi and thought to himself, He Yingzi completely thought that it was impossible for him to catch up with Lu Yanhe.
