Chapter 500 Two women compete, and President Meng benefits
. Speaking of which, the leading actors of several movies in the Spring Festival this year have participated in the Spring Festival Gala. Like Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei from "Hello, Li Huanying", Li Qin from "Assassination of Novelist", Liu Haocun from "On the Cliff", and Andy Lau and Wan Qian from "The Crowd".
Meng Bai, who sat on the scene for several hours, was drowsy most of the time. Only Ni Ni, who was wearing a white coat and a stewardess outfit, brightened his eyes.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen this young lady for a long time. I can make an appointment to try out her new skin later.
In addition, he noticed a detail in his boredom. In the list of two song and dance programs tonight, Evergrande's "National Song and Dance Troupe" appeared.
At a time when Evergrande is at the forefront of the storm, CCTV Spring Festival Gala still invited the other party, which makes people wonder if this is some kind of signal to the outside world.
Of course, there is another possibility that it is a pure commercial behavior. After all, before this, Evergrande Song and Dance Troupe had been on the Spring Festival Gala four times, and it can be regarded as an excellent team that has cooperated for many years.
Regarding this matter, Meng Bai pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but curse the Spring Festival Gala director team-if they hadn't made the program so ugly, he wouldn't have to analyze these boring problems that have little to do with him!
With Teacher Li Guyi's "Unforgettable Tonight", New Year's Eve ended and the Spring Festival officially arrived.
For most people, this means starting to visit relatives and friends or go out for travel. For the film industry, it means that the box office battle for the new year's Spring Festival has officially begun.
Li Qin: [The box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year was 150 million. Isn't this data not bad? ] Li Qin
: [Yesterday, the second day of the Lunar New Year, why did the box office fall to 110 million? Does this number mean that the movie is going to flop? ]
Li Qin: [Fortunately, it rose to 130 million on the third day of the Lunar New Year. It seems that everyone should be busy visiting relatives or going out to play yesterday. 】
Li Qin: [How come the single-day box office dropped by 30 million again on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year! 】
Li Qin: [……]
During the entire Spring Festival holiday, Meng Bai didn't need to look at the company's reports at all. Every morning, Li Qin would regularly send her various data from the previous day and her chatter, which was more punctual than the daily information statistics from the cinema.
There was no way. She had participated in more than a dozen movies in recent years, but the only ones she really played the leading role were the previous "Psychological Crime: City Light" and this "Assassination of Novelist".
In fact, strictly speaking, her "Yang Kaihui" in "The Founding of the Party" and "The Founding of the Army" can also be considered the heroine according to the awards submitted by the crew. However, for this kind of main theme group portrait movie with historical themes, she was really embarrassed to attribute the achievements to herself.
"Psychological Crime" was the first time she really played the leading role in a movie, but Meng Bai was there at the time, so she didn't worry about the box office results at all, and she felt full of security.
But this time was different. Although "Assassination of Novelist" also had investment from Arc Light, it was just a co-production. From script creation to actual shooting, it had nothing to do with Meng Bai.
That's why she was like a "little swan" out of protection this time, full of great uncertainty about the results, especially when the pre-sale box office was a big flop.
Fortunately, the actual situation was better than she expected.
Compared with the same period, although "Assassination of Novelist" had a little more inherent disadvantages, the content quality and visual effects were still qualified, and therefore attracted many young audiences.
By the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the cumulative box office of "Assassination of Novelist" exceeded 700 million. According to the current trend, there will be no problem with the total box office breaking 1 billion by the end of the release period.
The production and publicity costs of this movie are about 300 million, and the total box office will definitely not lose money if it exceeds 1 billion.
For the heroine Li Qin, this big production has already achieved its goal if it can make money at the box office. From now on, this movie can be used as her actual achievement, so that the team will have sufficient confidence to strive for more resources in the future.
As for Li Qin's fans, it is even more exciting. Although the movie has not been released yet, so far, the cumulative total box office of her sister in the third place has reached 1.6 billion.
Among all the "90s Flowers", this result ranks second, with only Zhou Dongyu who has a box office of 2.1 billion in front. Reba, who ranks third, has only 500 million so far, a huge gap.
Of course, it can be seen from this ranking that the performance of this group of "90s Flowers" in the film industry is indeed quite average, and few can show it off.
But this is not their problem. The previous batch of middle-aged big flowers and "85 Flowers" rely on their qualifications and connections to control most of the top resources. Those
that can fall into the hands of young actors are either the leftovers or like "The Wandering Earth" that no one is optimistic about from the beginning.
Just like now, Zhou Dongyu and Li Qin are at the forefront of the "90s Flowers", not because they are the best or the most appealing. The actual reason is that one has traditional Hong Kong circle capital behind him, and the other is backed by the new generation of industry giant Arc Light.
But this situation cannot continue forever. In fact, as the young movie-watching group has gradually grown up in recent years and become the new generation of main consumer groups, the film industry is also slowly being forced to accept changes.
The older generation of directors frequently failed. On the contrary, young and middle-aged directors such as Chen Sicheng, Guo Fan, Han Han, Lu Yang, and Wen Muye are becoming more mature and becoming the new mainstay.
For new directors, new stories naturally need new actors to show. The older generation of "big flowers" either put down their style and transform into TV dramas or web dramas, or slowly disappear from the audience's field of vision and become memories of a time in the past.
Back to Li Qin, the movie performed well, which finally swept away her worries. In addition, the finale of "The Golden Years" was also broadcast, and the whole person was relieved.
The only thing that still makes her a little upset is the new drama "The Rebel" that was broadcast right after "The Golden Years".
There is nothing wrong with this drama itself, but the bad thing is that its heroine is that Li Yitong.
What's more, what she cares about is that the ratings of this new drama have been rising since it was broadcast, and it has been ranked first in the ratings of the same period in the country for more than ten consecutive days. The score is as high as 8.0, which directly crushes "The Golden Years" in one dimension from the data.
Because of their similar appearance, the two girls are often mentioned together on the Internet. And because of Meng Bai, the two families have become each other's "number one rivals."
Qinying (the name of Li Qin's fans) originally thought that they could perfectly suppress the other party with the recent box office hit of "Assassination of Novelist". Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they were overtaken by the other party in the TV drama track.
And the "Tongling" (the name of Li Yitong's fans) who were a little frustrated a few days ago, became even more proud and began to prepare to fight back under the gathering of big fans.
Naturally, the quarrel between the two fans inevitably mentioned Meng Bai.
One side said that the other side "looked depressed", while the other side said that the other side "smiled artificially"; one side said that the other side was "just an imitation substitute", while the other side said "my sister came first and you came later"...
The fans fought "bloody", and even the main characters of each side were a little angry.
It was impossible for the two girls to make an appointment and fight directly, so they set their target on the common "dog man".
...
Sanlitun, No. 1 Apartment.
"Well... Haah... Haah..."
She was wearing a white JK uniform and a pleated skirt that barely covered her vital parts. The two slender long legs were wrapped in black silk, but for some reason, they were torn open a few times, revealing the pink skin inside.
Meng Bai leaned back on the side of the sofa, his mind still immersed in the joy just now. In
recent days, Li Qin and Li Yitong, the two girls, seemed to have agreed to obey him and were extremely gentle. Even the new postures or dress-up play that she always refused before, she agreed to him without hesitation.
In this regard, Meng Bai had to think hard to find reasons to leave to the other side to maintain the balance between the two sides; on the other side, he put many of his previous ideas into practice one by one, and enjoyed it for a few days.
"Nothing." Meng Bai smiled, gently stroked the pink-haired girl in his arms, and whispered: "I say, you were great just now!"
Li Yitong pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should be proud or give this dog man a roll of the eyes.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that our President Meng would think about this kind of bad plot every day. I think you should go to Japan next door to develop business, so as not to abuse me every day."
"What do you mean by abuse? This is obviously a hobby." Meng Bai said: "What's more, I don't know who kept shouting at me 'Don't stop' or something."
Li Yitong's cheeks turned red, obviously recalling how excited she was just now, and suddenly slapped the man under her in anger.
Unfortunately, she was in a state of "feeling weak and helpless" at the moment, so this felt more like an ambiguous caress.
"And think about it, why do I ask you to change your outfit and style every time?"
"Because you are perverted!"
"I haven't said who is really perverted yet."
Meng Bai said, and then his voice sank, softly and affectionately said: "I just want to see more of you, and hope to fill my mind with your appearance."
A large number of cases have shown that men maintaining an intimate atmosphere with each other after the event is an effective way to make women unable to extricate themselves. Although Boss Li's favorability towards himself has exceeded the limit and cannot be displayed, it does not prevent Meng Bai from continuing to increase the value.
Obviously, this method is very effective. Li Yitong stared at Meng Bai with watery eyes, holding him tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to rub herself into the other's body.
"Will you come back tomorrow?"
"Not tomorrow, or not for the next period of time." Meng Bai said: "The company's new drama is about to start filming. This project is very important. I have to keep an eye on it for a while."
The "new project" he mentioned is "Sweeping Black Storm". The script for this drama was not written until after the National Day last year, and then the project preparation started at the end of the year.
Recently, Wang Wei has already selected the actors and can start filming.
After Meng Bai cut off the useless "reporter line" in the script, there are still four main characters in this drama.
One is the core male protagonist of the whole drama, "Li Chengyang", played by Sun Honglei. Although his image has collapsed a bit due to frequent variety shows in recent years, it must be said that he is still very capable in the track of "both good and evil".
The second is the young policeman "Lin Hao", and the actor was hand-picked by the Political and Legal Committee and Bai Yu was chosen.
Then there is "He Yong", the leader of the supervision group, and the actor is Liu Yijun. Counting the previous "The Pretender" and "The Beginning", this is the third collaboration.
Finally, there is the villain "Gao Mingyuan", who is known as the "Minister of the Green Ivy Underground Organization". The actor chosen is Wang Zhifei, who played Shang Yang in "The Great Qin Empire".
Because the theme of "anti-gang" is relatively serious, Wang Wei and others basically focus on the powerful when selecting people. Bai Yu, the only one who can be regarded as popular, has also proved his acting skills through the role of "Jiang Yang".
The entire project took less than three months from writing the script to starting filming, mainly because there were many ready-made venues and props left over from the previous "Green Ivy Series", which greatly shortened the preparation time. However, the project specifications were not compromised at all, on the contrary, everyone was very serious.
After all, this is an official-led project. If it is filmed too poorly, not to mention the loss of revenue, it will also have a bad impact on the overall arc.
Therefore, Meng Bai decided to personally sit in the crew in the early stage of filming.
This has nothing to do with the fact that the two girls are increasingly difficult to be fooled by his reasons recently.
