Chapter 403
"The Road to Fame" has more universal potential
Ling Suisui temporarily ended her domestic schedule and when she returned to the "Invincible Warrior" crew, the predicted box office of the movie "Road to Fame" she produced was 1.587 billion.
Compared with the previous two days, this data has slightly declined, but judging from the magnitude of the change, the box office trend has basically stabilized.
Although the box office of more than one billion is not as good as that of commercial blockbusters, compared with its cost, it can be said to be a huge profit.
After this battle, Fuji Masanori washed away the bad reputation of a flop and wiped away his previous shame; Jing Xinyi achieved film success, made a name for herself in front of the public, and earned enough buzz for the summer vacation season.
In a while, she will be able to enter the top ten of the Chinese-language actresses' box office rankings, which means she has a pretty high starting point for entering the film industry.
Whether "Road to Fame" is popular or not, and whether it has any impact on Jing Xinyi's career development, can be known by looking at the overwhelming negative posts from the entertainment group and the frequent negative hot searches on various platforms.
When Ling Suisui comforted Jing Xinyi, he also used himself as an example: fans' praise may come from doting, but the breakdown of black fans' defense can definitely prove your success.
Jing Xinyi was very moved, she even wanted to cry - in fact, she didn't take those negative comments seriously at all. Which traffic star's rise to fame was not accompanied by blood and rain?
To put it bluntly, if no one was criticizing her, she would feel anxious instead. The ecology of the entertainment industry is so crazy.
Ling Suisui actually noticed this little thing and came over to comfort me. She really did, Jing Xinyi cried to death.
Jing Xinyi said that she was fine and she didn't care about the frame-by-frame judgment and the negative comments that were taken out of context. She had already arranged for a lawyer to collect evidence and resolve the issue through legal means regarding the distortion of the original meaning and the slanderous remarks.
In fact, Jing Xinyi has only one request. She hoped that when these people cursed her, they would use her full name, character name, and the name of the road to fame; abbreviations don't count!
Since you've scolded her enough, can't you just give her some higher stats? The haters are not even willing to type her and the movie's full name, which is really despicable.
Jing Xinyi is very satisfied with the performance of "Road to Fame", but she doesn't know whether Ling Suisui is satisfied?
Both she and the director got what they wanted, and Ling Suisui, as the producer, also received box office dividends. But if you only look at the financial benefits, she should be able to earn more by making any movie in the same amount of time.
If it were in the past, she would definitely not dare to ask, but this time it was Ling Suisui who took the initiative to find her. Jing Xinyi, who felt that she had gotten closer to the goddess, asked cautiously.
Ling Suisui: "I am very satisfied."
Ling Sui's tone was very firm, which made Jing Xinyi a little uncertain.
She asked again and got the same answer. Ling Suisui said without hesitation that he was very satisfied.
In terms of revenue, "The Road to Fame" has left its peers far behind. Jing Xinyi estimates that this is her most ideal situation, but even if Ling Sui is 20 years old, it is impossible for every movie to win the annual championship. The cold winter of domestic film and television industry has never passed, and not making a loss is a victory.
In terms of the quality of the work, the reputation she created for her first foray behind the scenes, and the experience she accumulated during the filming of the movie... Ling Suisui felt that there was nothing to complain about.
She asked Jing Xinyi in return: "Why do you think I'm dissatisfied?"
Well...
Jing Xinyi wasn't very clear either, she just had a vague feeling of uneasiness. If I have to say something, it's probably that I think Ling Suisui deserves the best.
All her imaginations about the world of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry, and every fantasy about being on the throne, almost bear the mark of Ling Suisui.
In the past, when Liu Bang met Qin Shi Huang, he would say "A real man should be like this"; and when Jing Xinyi saw Ling Sui, she would also think that a female star should be like her.
More than a billion is a relatively high starting point, but it is far from enough.
Ling Suisui didn't explain too much to Jing Xinyi during the chat, not because their relationship was not good enough, but because she herself was still groping and feeling every feedback on this path.
What makes her happiest about "The Road to Fame" is that it proves that general stories with women as the protagonists and not based on sexual relationships as the main narrative can still be successful in the market even without top stars like her and a top team like Dyland.
This is very important. Compared with the works shot by Ling Suisui, Jing Xinyi's "Road to Fame" is actually more attractive to the market.
Because there is only one Ling Sui, and there are already countless ambitious companies and potential celebrities who have proved that her success cannot be replicated. And there are many traffic stars like Jing Xinyi in the domestic entertainment industry - let’s not mention the efforts behind Jing Xinyi here, and only discuss her appeal and fan base.
"The Road to Fame" is not a top-notch film, but precisely because of this it has greater potential for universal application.
Be it a kung fu film or a comedy, as long as it can expand the boundaries of female-oriented themes and allow female-oriented works, especially those whose target audience is young women, to not be limited to the fixed thinking of "must have a strong CP" and "the male lead determines the upper limit", this is what Ling Sui wants to see most at this stage.
Individual cases cannot affect the general trend of domestic entertainment. No matter how capable a work is of draining the market, the preparation time starts at two years, but the hot screening period is usually only two months.
If there were more "Road to Fame" shows in the domestic entertainment industry, actresses of all ages would have more choices.
When it comes to female celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry who have become famous without relying on CP, most people think of Ling Suisui first. She also has popular CPs, but most people know her and like her definitely because of the character's personal charm.
However, apart from her, there is no other candidate that netizens unanimously agree on. Some fans who were nominated took their own responsibility. They were either mocked for not being popular enough, or were cited for how much popularity a certain couple had contributed to her, how they turned against each other, etc.
Ling Suisui really hopes that Jing Xinyi can become the next actress on the above list to be recognized by netizens.
After all, the fans of the male actor who had previously clamored in the entertainment group that he would not contribute a penny to the box office and would only wait for the film to be released on streaming media, leaving the heroine to carry the show alone, have long forgotten their oath of "never using data for other people's works" and have taken the initiative to become the leaders of the Internet CP.
It's a pity that the attention of this movie on the Internet is focused on Jing Xinyi, and no matter how hard the fans try, they can't get involved.
Although "The Road to Fame" is only a movie released in China, Ling Sui's friends and colleagues are also very concerned about her first movie as a producer.
When she returned to the Warrior crew, Theresa was there too.
The fantasy universe has no original IP. In order to attract more people to pay attention to the new superheroes, Diland chose the "old leading the new" method, using a timeline that is linked together to shape the stories of the three giants.
When "Invincible Warrior" is released, the story of the first stage of the fantasy universe will be basically completed.
Theresa asked her, "How does it feel to be a producer for the first time?"
"It's cool, but it's not easy." Ling Suisui spread his hands, "When the movie is released, I'm more nervous than when I was the lead actor. I pay attention to the box office and the reputation. No matter which one has shortcomings, I will feel sorry."
“Bless you, God, you have achieved great results.”
Ling Suisui smiled and did not refute Theresa's catchphrase.
Of course, she knows in her heart that there is no such thing as "God's blessing" or "God's favor". The success of this movie depends entirely on human efforts.
If there is a little bit of luck involved...it's probably because there were no strong movies in this summer's schedule, and "The Road to Fame" had a chance to grab the title of the schedule champion with a box office of over 10 billion.
When Theresa chatted with her, she mentioned: "I watched an interview with director Masanori Fuji. He said that it was you who insisted on de-gendering the casting and only considered the ability of the actors, and changed the original male lead to the female lead?"
Yes, Ling Sui nodded.
This interview was released when the box office forecast of "The Road to Fame" rose to 1.6 billion, and it quickly became a hot topic. The entertainment team is all eating this melon, and some people even feel sorry for the male actor who went to audition.
Therefore, Jing Xinyi was often ridiculed. It is entirely conceivable that if Ling Suisui, who made this decision, was not a woman, countless scandals would be waiting for Jing Xinyi.
Ling Suisui had known that this would be the result, so she specifically asked the film company to arrange the interview to be released when the movie was released and the box office continued to rise.
Only at this time will the audience who have watched the movie speak for her, and the rising box office forecasts will testify to her - even though she was not optimistic at first, she performed very well.
It is also because of the good reputation of the movie that the voices expressing how important it is to have female decision makers can be heard and recognized by netizens, and can offset the fans of those male actors and the "passersby" who subconsciously feel sorry for the male stars.
After this incident fermented, almost all the fans supported her, while some of the non-fans did not have a good tone when mentioning her, unless they thought they would have the chance to become her heir. But judging by the frequency of her filming and her selection criteria, this hope is probably slim.
Ling Sui didn't care about the weird connotation, she just thought it was funny. It seems that some fans dote on their idols and praise them to the sky, but in fact they know very well their own abilities.
Ling Suisui was putting on makeup while chatting with Theresa. Theresa had no announcements today, and came here from the hotel just to see her.
Teresa looked at her outfit and asked, "Are you filming a fight scene with Gemma today?"
"Hmm." Ling Suisui answered with his eyes closed, "Li Mo is about to be taken as prey by Hilda."
Hilda, in her violent state, had lost her human sanity. What's even more terrifying is that the combat training she received since childhood was designed to fully utilize the advantages of polar bears.
The sharp claws were tearing, the bear's paws were slapping, the mouth was opening to bite... plus the pressure from the size of the beast, Ling Suisui felt very stressed.
She was putting on makeup here, and Gemma was already doing training to liberate her nature.
As soon as Ling Suisui walked out, he could hear the roar coming from Jima's side. The director was explaining the scene to Gemma, trying to stir up her emotions like crazy.
In this fight scene, Gemma didn't have to think about anything. She only had to maintain the most primitive anger and the purest madness, throwing all rationality behind her and indiscriminately killing everyone who dared to appear in front of her.
As for Ling Suisui...
Amid Jima's increasingly loud roar, she quietly put on her gloves, her determined eyes filled with a determination to sacrifice her life for justice.
Theresa: “What do you think of this scene?”
If she were an actress, Ling Sui would definitely not have any special thoughts, after all, Jima would not really hurt her.
But from Li Mo's perspective, facing an opponent who had a violent bonus and was at the peak of his combat power, she faced the challenge with the mentality that only one of them might survive.
