Chapter 1088 The Bet Is About to Fail

In fact, there are still many movies showing swords during the Lunar New Year this year...

The Lunar New Year festival has always been a big time - Hollywood movies can't get in...

"I'm Not Pan Jinlian" was released first.

To be honest, "Pan Jinlian" is not bad, especially in 2016, when the big directors collectively stretched their hips...

No, Ah Mou acted in a movie called "The Sun" - "Year, Month, Day", and almost won the Palme d'Or, winning the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Actor Award.

Moreover, "Scorching Sun" was released in early June, and the box office in the mainland was close to 900 million, setting a new box office record for Zhang Yi's movie.

The so-called big directors here are collectively pulling their hips, mainly referring to Li Min and Spielberg's "The Giant", both of which are seriously below the standard!

Including "Independence Day 2", "X-Men: Apocalypse"...

Under this general premise, it is not easy for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" to perform properly!

It's a pity that I encountered "Your Name", "Hacksaw Ridge", "Captain Sully"...

Then there is "The Stars Are Moving", which is produced by Yushi + Jiaxing Tianxia, ​​directed by Chen Guohui and Xia Yongkang, and starring Yang Xiaomi + Li Yifeng.

It is an ambitious work - the combination of the two major traffic sources can earn 500 million box office at least...

This was indeed what I thought when the project was established, and then the National Day release of "Grand Trail" failed miserably at the box office...

The disastrous failure of "Grand Trail" not only heralded the bankruptcy of Guo Jingming's IP, but also told the market that "you don't need to accumulate traffic to get high box office!" ’

Then let's change the tactic and focus on promoting the CP - it is said to be the biggest forbidden love story between Li Yifeng and Yang Xiaomi in movies!

Forbidden love?

The romance with the corpse is what we call "confused romance";

"The Stars Are Moving" is about the love affair between a star and his agent, no, what's the taboo about this thing?

——If the love between an artist and his manager is a forbidden love, then what are the love between teacher and student, brother and sister, mother and son, father and daughter, necrophilia and bestiality?

Then, the box office of "The Stars Move" was 50 million on the first day, 13 million on the next day, and the total box office was only over 100 million...

Yang Xiaomi was very disappointed - "Pulling Stars" is related to next year's bet, and the cost is close to 50 million. Although the fame of the hero and heroine has replaced nearly 60 million in advertising, publicity and other business resources, but 100 million The box office is obviously a loss...

There is still one year left for the bet, and unless there is a hit movie, it will be impossible to complete.

Yang Xiaomi was still disappointed, Zeng Jia was almost desperate...

Therefore, it is very rare that Yang Xiaomi did not pay attention to "The Ferryman" - who has time to care about other people's affairs? It’s almost impossible to protect yourself!

Then Zeng Jia asked her to contact Shen Xudong - the only one who could lend a helping hand at this time and had the ability to resolve the crisis was Shen Xudong.

…

""The Death of Romance"...Cheng Er does have an accent and ability!"

"I don't quite understand..."

"You don't need to understand. Cheng Er took care of the directing, screenwriting, editing and lyrics. The actors were also willing to relax their standards for him..."

Chen Hao thought for a while: "It's really awesome!"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "I quite like his movies, but I will never invest in his movies."

On Christmas Eve, Shen Xudong and Chen Hao went to watch a movie again, "The Death of Romance"...

Cheng Er's movies give people a sense of high-end, which is not easy!

Because after all, movies are an entire industry that requires close collaboration with a very large team, and the whole process lasts a very long time...

Therefore, it is not difficult to be grand, spectacular, exciting and even detailed. These are things that can be accumulated with resources and time.

But something like a sense of luxury is still quite difficult!

It depends on the director's own aesthetic...

"I guess it won't be a hit..."

"His path is obviously an art film, but it has to use big stars and has to be commercialized... It will be very awkward in the foreseeable future."

Chen Hao nodded and was about to ask about Ali Pictures when Shen Xudong's cell phone rang. The latter took out his cell phone, looked at the caller ID, and then answered the call...

After three minutes, he hung up: "I have to go out..."

"What's wrong?"

"They have something to do with me..."

"Then go ahead... drive slower!"

Shen Xudong hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Do you want to come together?"

Chen Hao shook his head: "I won't go. It's such a cold day, I'd rather go home and sleep!"

Shen Xudong smiled, turned and left.

Oh, it was Yang Xiaomi who asked him to ask for something...

After all, he was also a partner in artistic exchanges, and Xudong had no reason to refuse.

…

In the hotel, Shen Xudong thought about calling her downstairs. If anything happened, we could talk directly in the lobby...

Forget it, you’re here now, who can you show off by pretending to be a gentleman?

Opening the door, Yang Xiaomi welcomed him in...

Wearing a red nightgown, her body is trembling and her waist is slender...

The temperament is capable and yet a little charming~

Absolutely amazing!

Shen Xudong swallowed, changed into a pair of slippers, and then sat down. Yang Xiaomi brought a glass of red wine: "Have a drink with me!"

"...I drove here!"

"What, you still want to go back?"

"...There is another event to attend tomorrow..."

Yang Xiaomi crossed over to Shen Xudong and took out a pair of stockings from where he was sitting. While putting them on, she asked, "Can't we just start from here?"

Soon, a pair of thin black stockings were added to the white and tender legs, adding to the sense of style...

Well, already wearing armor and entering combat readiness!

Shen Xudong picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said: "Then I should wash it off too..."

"It's okay, let's get together later..."

Sit over directly...

Shen Xudong had no choice but to take responsibility to the end - literally!

In about half an hour, Shen Xudong finished rinsing, sat back on the sofa, drank black tea, and continued to browse Weibo...

Although he didn't really care about Ari Pictures' response strategy, he had already shown his sword without giving any face...

What do they want to do?

What can be done?

Haha, Ali Pictures issued an announcement, "So many people like it, but if you don't like it, respect the right to dislike it, but I want to say that not liking it does not mean it is bad.", "There is still a long way to go, this is just our first film." a movie! ’

Shen Xudong directly replied, ‘Do you think they really like you? ’

After thinking about it, I simply posted another sentence on my Weibo: 'A word for you: in the final analysis, the film industry still needs the audience to pay, so we can look around the world, from Hong Kong, Bollywood, Paris , to Hollywood, what all filmmakers pursue is the recognition and resonance of the audience. Although there are some special independent films that express your attitude whether you like to watch it or not, there has never been a phenomenon like "The Ferryman" where if you don't like to watch it, you are against me! ’

‘It’s a bad movie, let’s just complain about it after watching it. After all, life goes on, it’s just a movie! ’

‘There is no need to forcefully change the public’s opinions. Put down your arrogance and make some conclusions from yourself. Don’t be superstitious about data...Forget it, you don’t understand even after I say it! ’

After Yang Xiaomi took a shower, she came over wrapped in a bath towel. While looking at his mobile phone, she asked casually: "...Why are you so angry!"
