Chapter 419: Spring Festival Chaos, Teacher Liu Has Something to Say

January 31, 2014, the first day of the Chinese New Year

Many people are celebrating the Spring Festival, and many people have also started to work, such as several movies in the Spring Festival period.

As mentioned before, this year's Spring Festival period is very lively. Relying on the glory of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" last year, many movies have set their sights on this emerging popular period.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" "Macau Wind and Cloud" "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

And a comedy movie produced by Blue Whale Investment and starring Na Zha and Qiao Zhenyu - "Best Lover".

Although Wei Yang and his team bet on "Time Travel Cohabitation" in the Lunar New Year period, it does not mean that the crew has no idea about the Spring Festival period.

Blue Whale's film strategy is not just around Wei Yang alone. There are still some projects on hand. It may be difficult to take the lead alone, but there is still capital to help the company test the water.

This "Best Lover" is an original script written by Blue Whale's internal screenwriter.

Recently, the three beauties of the Chinese Paladin + Xiao Zhao each have strong resources, and Rouba has risen strongly, holding the killer weapon "Running Man" in his hand.

In comparison, although Nazha's development this year can be considered steady and steady, it can't be compared with the others at all.

But this does not mean that Blue Whale treats her badly!

Let alone the strong support of fashion resources, the film and television resources alone have won her two dramas and three movies, most of which are female protagonists, including Tangren's major drama "The Legend of the Desert".

It can be said that if Rouba had not participated in "Running Man" and the boost of the "Celebrating Yu Nian" trilogy, her development would definitely not be as good as Nazha's.

In terms of film resources, Nazha is second only to Wei Yang in Blue Whale, and even Xiao Zhao is not his opponent.

Of course, this is also because Xiao Zhao is deeply involved in the field of television and is not particularly keen on movies.

But no matter what, the resources that Blue Whale gave Nazha are absolutely powerful, but she is just unlucky.

The biggest hope "The Legend of the Desert" did not escape even with Wei Yang's reminder. It was postponed for review.

The other works that were launched online also did not make much splash and barely had a certain influence.

It is not a problem to consolidate popularity and fame, but it is a bit beyond her ability to increase exposure and fame, or even go further.

The company has prepared for Nazha to start playing in variety shows. She can't squeeze into "Running Man" for the time being, so she will go to "Sisters Over Flowers" to play.

In addition to "Sisters Over Flowers", "Intimate Lover" in the Spring Festival can also be regarded as a breakthrough work for Nazha.

Her previous movies, except for the "Four Famous Detectives" series as the second female lead, all others failed, and the highest box office was only about 70 million.

There are many reasons for the failure, and it is not all Nazha's fault, but as the female lead, she cannot escape the responsibility.

To be honest, the rise of Rouba has a great impact on Nazha, after all, the style of the two is similar.

Now she can still hold steady, all thanks to the rich popularity accumulated in "Eastern Palace", the unique fashion resources and influence in Blue Whale, and the two beauties in Xinjiang Province that she and Rouba have been tied together for many years.

Rouba followed her for a few years, and now the situation has reversed, it is impossible to throw her out to work alone.

But despite this, Blue Whale is not a charity.

If Naza continues to be so tepid, or even becomes a box office poison, the relevant resources will definitely be downgraded, and it is really possible that Naza will follow Rouba and eat dust.

Of course, this is an extreme approach, and it is generally not done this way.

After all, Naza is also a top star cultivated by Blue Whale, a die-hard direct line. Just a little bit of trouble, how can it be easily abandoned? It is right to find a way to remedy and support.

The variety show "Sisters Over Flowers" is like this, and "Best Lover" is a movie tailor-made for Naza.

The movie route is actually very simple, it is still the set of Cinderella meeting the domineering president, but there are some special elements that Blue Whale likes to do.

The so-called "Best Lover" means that the male protagonist can hear the voice of the female protagonist.

This routine is not the first time in the movie. King Liu has a movie "I Know Women's Hearts", in which the male protagonist can understand the voices of women.

However, "Best Lover" is more like the voice of the heart of the online article, focusing on one-on-one, but it is just a female love version.

The role played by Naza is an intern who has just entered a large company. She is impatient, ignorant, naive, and can't speak.

It can be said that the screenwriter of Blue Whale has good intentions. In order to take care of Naza's acting skills, the role is basically designed according to her own model.

The male protagonist played by Qiao Zhenyu is the boss of the female protagonist's internship. Because of an accident, the male protagonist can hear the female protagonist's voice.

The female protagonist knows nothing about this. She complains in her heart every day and accidentally helps the male protagonist solve some problems.

The male protagonist also became curious about the female protagonist and further contacted her. Then they became a happy enemy that everyone likes to see and hear, and everyone is happy.

In Zhao Liying's words, this is a voice of the heart + a refined version of "Shan Shan is Coming".

The entry point is different, the plot is also different, but the style and style are very similar.

Wei Yang did not refute it. Love movies are basically this way, especially the Cinderella style of strong men and weak women. No matter how it changes, it remains the same. It depends on whose tricks are more novel and the details are better carved.

Blue Whale also has certain expectations for the movie "Best Lover".

The plot and style are mature, the cast is popular enough, and there are no problems with the performance and rhythm. Although there is little hope of making a big profit, there is still hope of making a small profit.

And these four movies also constitute the main force of the Spring Festival.

There is also a movie called "A Chinese Odyssey" starring Sun Niangniang, Prince Ji, Ekin Cheng, Xiao Hei Pangzi, etc., and guest appearances by Hu Ge, Lin Xue, Huang Yi and other stars. It chose to participate in the battle on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Although this movie has a full sense of bad movies, it can't stand the gathering of stars.

In this special period of the Spring Festival, who dares to really underestimate the star-studded family movie? Even if it can't compete for the championship, it is not without the ability to spoil the situation.

There is also a movie version of "Beijing Love Story", which will be released on February 14.

Directed by Chen Sicheng, the participating stars are also brilliant, but this movie is more than two weeks away from the first day of the Lunar New Year. Obviously, it will not pose a big threat to the battle of the Spring Festival, so it is ignored by many people.

The same is true for Wei Yang. Although he did not intervene in the project of "Intimate Lover", he still cares about how much money he makes.

So on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Wei and Wu families, together with Li Jiahang and his wife, went to the cinema together.

Anyway, it's fun to stay at home and watch movies. Wei Yang was alone at first, but he passed the ball to two people, and then two people led four people, and finally the whole army went out.

And there are many cases like Wei Yang near the cinema.

Although watching movies during the Spring Festival has not yet formed a public awareness, a considerable proportion of the audience has bought it.

Especially in first- and second-tier cities, with the rapid development of cities, family ties are not as close as before. There are fewer people visiting each other during the Spring Festival. It feels lonely at home, and they go out to participate in various activities to find the flavor of the New Year. Watching movies has naturally become a more popular pastime.

Wei Yang noticed this phenomenon in the past two years, and it is even worse this year. There are many people who bring their families to the movies.

Of course, this is inseparable from the credit of "Where Are We Going, Dad". This family variety show has attracted many audiences to the cinema to watch variety shows.

Wei Yang's aunt and uncle and cousins ​​are all variety show fans. They have been following the two ace variety shows. They asked Wei Yang why he didn't shoot the "Running Man" movie.

The aunt's family went to watch variety shows, and Li Jiahang and his wife preferred love themes and chose to watch "Best Lovers".

It is also possible that they saw that Boss Wei was here, so they chose to show their support to the company and improve their favorability.

Wei Yang had just watched the finished film of "Best Lover" not long ago, and did not want to watch it again, so he hesitated for a while and bought a ticket for "The Man from Macau".

What he did not expect was that the old couple Wei Shan also chose the same movie. He thought they would go to watch a variety show or "Journey to the West: Conquering the Sky".

"What is there to watch about Monkey King? I am tired of hearing the story."

Wei Shan was not interested in the theme of Journey to the West. His mother Wang Yunping nodded and said with interest: "I will watch "Where Are We Going, Dad" later, and watch Zhou Runfa first."

Wei Yang: "..."

It was the first time he knew that his parents were half fans of Chow Yun-fat.

But it was normal to think about it. Before and after Wei Yang was born, his parents were young, and Chow Yun-fat was at his peak. They must have watched some of his TV series and videotapes.

It was rare to go out to watch a movie, so they must have given priority to knowing familiar stars.

Wei Yang watched TV and movies with his parents many times, but this was his first time in a theater.

He was originally worried that the old couple would feel uncomfortable, but they were already holding popcorn and finding a seat, and reminded Wei Yang to mute his phone.

After asking a few questions, he realized that the old couple were not old antiques. They had come to support Wei Yang's movies before. Although they had not come many times, they were definitely familiar with the cinema.

"Liying brought us to watch these movies. They always thought about us when they had something to do, unlike you, who don't worry about anything."

Wei Yang couldn't raise his head after being told that, and even felt a little ashamed.

He felt that he was filial to his parents, but he provided more material conditions, and did not do many other aspects at all. Instead, Xiao Zhao helped her silently to fulfill a lot of filial piety, so it was no wonder that Wang Yunping kept saying good things for her.

"Okay, okay, the child has to work, so stop talking, let's go to the movie."

Wei Shan hurried out to smooth things over. He had just got a Yongzheng official kiln, and Wei Yang was still in a good state. He was an old father who was not ordinary kind.

"You are the only one who can pretend to be a good person."

Wang Yunping muttered, feeling a little regretful. She also knew that Wei Yang was busy, and she didn't think of blaming her son. It was only out of gratitude for Zhao Liying's usual filial piety and her son's philandering that she couldn't help but sneer.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, she also said something to her husband, and then turned her attention to the movie.

"How did Xu Wenqiang age so much?"

Seeing the old Chow Yun-ping on the screen, Wang Yunping was a little surprised. The biggest impression of their generation on him was mostly the handsome Xu Wenqiang in Shanghai or the little brother Ma who lit cigarettes with banknotes.

"Born in 1955, he is almost 60 years old. How could he not look old?"

Wang Yunping and his wife sighed when they heard this. They are old, and the stars they liked when they were young are also old. This world is already the world of young people.

"Hey, this girl is pretty and fair."

"Big eyes, oval face, but a little thin."

"She looks a bit like that..."

"Yangyang, do you know her?"

When Da Tiantian appeared, the old couple's topic immediately shifted, and they whispered about this beautiful girl. Wang Yunping even asked her son specifically.

"Ahem..."

Wei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You really think your son is a fairy boy who has come down to earth. All the pretty girls like me. It's not true. They just don't like me."

"That's hard to say. I know my son's charm."

Wang Yunping usually scolds Wei Yang for his philandering and gets angry when she sees his scandals. But if Wei Yang is really modest or says who doesn't like her son, the old lady will not accept it.

In her heart, her son is the best!

Wei Yang couldn't complain about the old lady's contradictory psychology. He just brushed the topic aside and focused on watching the movie.

He was not unfamiliar with "The Man from Macau". When Wang Pangzi was preparing for this movie, he even called him to talk about ideas.

After "Famous", Wei Yang left a deep impression on Wang Pangzi and regarded him as a film and television genius. So they usually like to communicate with each other, which is also a kind of emotional maintenance.

Boss Wei is now a well-known big water pipe in the circle. Wang Pangzi is naturally keen to build a good relationship with such a sponsor, so that it will be convenient to attract investment.

The movie "The Man from Macau" actually approached Wei Yang and offered him a large share, but he declined.

The main reason was that one of the producers behind it was not very clean. Even though Wei Yang knew that there was no problem with the cooperation, he did not want to take risks easily.

After all, other themes would be fine, but "The Man from Macau" could not escape the word "gambling", and combined with the background of this producer, it was too sensitive.

Even if Fatty Wang was very clever in exploiting the loophole, it was more or less suspected of publicity, and it might be brought up one day.

To put it bluntly, since Wei Yang could make clean money openly, there was no need to wade into muddy waters for excitement. He really didn't need those two money.

If Wei Yang wanted to make money, he should be a little shameless and make a "Running Man" movie, and he would make no less money than "The Man from Macau".

But just because of face and concerns about the company and the program's reputation, he gave up this project. He would not care about high-risk projects like "The Man from Macau".

"Sun Entertainment..."

Wei Yang took a deep look at the thank you list at the end of the movie, wondering whether to build momentum for the other party in advance, spread the name, and eradicate a cancer for the industry.

I just don't know how deep the water is here, and if this kind of company doesn't eradicate the boss behind it, even if it is exposed, it will just be a shell company.

The sun becomes the moon or the stars, and then acts low-key to reduce the sense of existence. How many people care about it.

Wei Yang came out of the theater and watched "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" again.

He had never seen this movie in his previous life, but only watched some clips. This time he can be regarded as a broadening of his horizons.

It turns out that Havoc in Heaven refers to the Bull Demon King, and Sun Wukong is the demon king.

Every time he sees this kind of plot, Wei Yang always stands on the side of Teacher Liu involuntarily.

Adaptation is not random editing, and drama is not nonsense!

This is all to apologize for...
