Chapter 524 Groundhog Bai Mengyan
Zhao Jinmai naturally didn't know about the conversation between Meng Bai and Zhao's mother. She was still immersed in the atmosphere of "secretly dating while hiding from adults". She had
been filming on the crew since she was a child and had not had much campus life. Her rebellious period came a little late.
However, she didn't come during this period because she had just finished military training and the little girl felt that she was tanned and wanted to wait until she was a little white before going out.
Although she was still unsure of what Zhao's mother's attitude would be, Meng Bai didn't keep thinking about it. After hanging up a few contingency plans in his mind, he resumed his daily work.
Compared with the deserted summer season, this year's National Day season is a little more normal. The previously postponed "Changjin Lake" and the third part of the platter series "My Fathers and Me" are the two main theme movies that best fit the schedule.
Ruyi also has a movie to be released, which is the previous "Send You a Little Red Flower" directed by Han Yan, starring Qu Chuxiao and Liu Haocun.
Apart from these three, the rest of the schedule is animated films. Those who don't know may think it is the "June 1" schedule.
I thought the box office during the schedule would be quite normal, but I didn't expect the momentum of "Changjin Lake" to be unexpectedly fierce. Taking advantage of the current situation of Sino-US confrontation, the box office actually exceeded the record held by "Wolf Warrior 2" for five years, topping the list of domestic films with 5.77 billion.
This number was not expected by the producer Bona. After all, the movie was originally planned to be released on the National Day last year, just in time for the 70th anniversary of "Resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea". Later, due to the impact of influenza, it was postponed to this year, but it still broke out with a strong appeal.
However, although the box office of the movie broke the record, the main producer Bona was a little uncomfortable. Previously, because of concerns about risks, they sold more than half of the movie shares early, in exchange for the support of as many as 17 producers.
If the movie loses money, doing this will indeed help control the risk. But now the result is that the movie is a success, which is a bit uncomfortable.
However, compared with "My Fathers and Me", "Changjin Lake" is still a small witch compared to a big witch.
You know, this third "platter" was jointly invested by 36 production companies. However, the final box office results were back and forth with the small and medium-cost "Send You a Little Red Flower", both of which were about 1.3 billion box office.
Ruyi and his team have only seven or eight investors in total, and if each gets a share, they can make an average profit of 40 to 50 million. But if it is divided into more than 30 shares, then each can get 5 million, which is considered a lot, and it can be said to be a loss.
It can only be said that after two consecutive years of "Motherland" and "Hometown", the audience is completely tired of this kind of platter movie.
The overall results of the National Day file seem to be good, but the industry insiders in the film industry are not happy. Anyone who looks at the box office share will know that if "Changjin Lake" had not unexpectedly exploded, this year's figures might be even worse than last year.
Obviously, the sequelae of the industry being shut down for more than half a year due to the flu last year have gradually begun to emerge, and the overall box office scale has shown a downward trend.
Compared with the "strong outside but weak inside" of the film industry, the film and television drama market has been doing well recently.
Or to be more precise, the situation of Arclight is good.
First, "Eastern Palace", which was broadcast after the summer vacation, became a small hit, and "Xiao Feng" played by Meng Ziyi suddenly became the "new daughter" of many viewers.
Then "Want to See You" completed the double explosion of popularity and word of mouth with the data of "11,000+ on the site, the first in real-time popularity, and a Douban score of 9.2", which brought a perfect end to the "Tracing Back" series.
However, to be honest, the results of these two dramas were actually expected. As early as when the project was established, they were aimed at the "annual hit".
What really surprised people was the "set-up drama" "One Life, One World" and "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu".
When this project was first evaluated internally, it was just an ordinary "A-level". Although the popularity of the heroine Bai Lu has risen rapidly in the past two years, it is still just okay, and belongs to the category of "waiting to explode".
Unexpectedly, after the first half of "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu" was broadcast, it unexpectedly infected the audience with its "high-energy heart-wrenching" plot and excellent production. The next broadcast "One Life, One World" pulled the emotions back with its sweet modern love.
The tug-of-war between the cruelty and the sweetness successfully made the audience feel what "BE aesthetics" is.
Fans of the drama began to promote it spontaneously, and managed to make an "A-level drama" generate "S-level" revenue.
Now, Bai Lu can be said to have "sweet harvest after bitterness". From the ranks of "to be exploded", she has jumped to the table and become the most popular new star in recent times.
"Boss, I, I, hahahaha..."
Meng Bai took the phone away from his ear, and his rough laughter instantly echoed in the office.
After waiting for a long time, until Bai Lu's laughter on the other end of the phone subsided, he frowned and said: "Bai Mengyan, tell me what you want to do? Rely on laughter to trigger resonance, and then assassinate me?"
"No, no, boss, I really want to thank you. It's just that when I think about this, I can't help but be happy, hahaha..."
Although separated by the phone, Meng Bai felt that the girl had appeared in front of him, grinning like a groundhog.
Damn, it's simply mental pollution!
He rubbed his brows and said unhappily: "Okay, you've been happy and thanked, and you can do whatever you need to do."
"Hey, come on, boss, I haven't finished yet."
Bai Lu listened to Meng Bai's tone and restrained her emotions: "I actually want to say that I am very grateful to you for giving me so many opportunities, otherwise I wouldn't be here now. So I especially want to treat you to a meal. Although it's not a big deal, it's my sincere thanks."
Although she couldn't see anyone, the sincerity she showed when she said this made people feel that she was sincere, and even her voice, which was always full of heroism, softened.
"Instead of thanking me, you might as well thank yourself for sticking with it for so long." Meng Bai said: "Besides, are you sure you have time to treat me recently?"
"Uh, this..."
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment. Indeed, the explosion of "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu" was a bit unexpected, and various activities and invitations came one after another, causing her and her team to be busy recently.
Activities like various end-of-year ceremonies, major TV stations' New Year's Eve concerts, etc., have to be scheduled one after another, so as not to let the outside world think that she has started to "play big" as soon as she became famous, or think that her team is difficult to deal with, leaving a bad impression.
So in the short term, she really has no personal time.
"It doesn't matter, just wait until this busy period is over. Anyway, I'll make an appointment with your boss first."
"You think long-term. Okay, I'll reserve a schedule for you."
"Thank you~thank you~boss!"
After hanging up the phone, Meng Bai looked at the screen of the phone and couldn't help laughing.
I have to say that this kind of girl who is always cheerful is still quite likable. After chatting with her for a while, my mood also improved a lot.
Of course, it would be better if the laughter could be restrained a little.
