"Andorra Director..."
"What's wrong?"
"Our popularity in China was surpassed by Paranormal Activity. Our Deep Sea Shark was the box office champion in October, but it did not receive the treatment it deserved in China..."
"What's going on?"
"Just look at it... the popularity of China."
"Um, well…what?"
…
The momentum of Chen Jianfeng's quarrel on Taiwan Island finally disappeared without a trace.
Jiasheng Company is too lazy to cooperate with Chen Jianfeng.
After all this, it becomes meaningless for Sammul Chan to perform a one-man show by himself.
Although there is no hype from Sammul Chan, the popularity of "Paranormal Activity" has remained high in Taiwan and mainland China.
There is always a constant stream of people going to Taiwan's cinemas to watch "Paranormal Activity" every day, and almost every show is sold out.
The headlines in all aspects were all about "Paranormal Activity" and discussions about the plot.
The entire Chinese cinema seemed to be filled with a very strange trend...
"The famous new director Xu Lin is preparing to shoot "Ghost Stories" and has filed for approval..."
"'Ghost Live' has already started filming, the screenwriter is called Chen Shier..."
"'Paranormal Activity' is currently in the casting stage..."
“…”
In the past two years, Chinese films were still pretty good. Although the box office was not very good, everyone was still making their own films, which could be considered a flourishing of a hundred flowers.
but……
Since the beginning of this year, the Chinese film industry seems to have entered a very strange state.
for example……
After the success of "War Blood 2", many other games appeared in the industry, such as "War Girl 2" and "War Night 2"...
These trends are reasonable.
but……
When War Plate 2 came out.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Is it possible to follow the trend like this?
At the beginning of October, the whole of China was swept by a trend of following the trend of "War Blood 2", and the popularity was quite high.
Although Li Mingrui was extremely angry, he had no other options.
After all, there are no detailed regulations in the law that prohibit naming like this, right?
This is just like the Xihu Longjing tea that Lu Yuan bought before. Although there is only a difference between Hu and Hu, in fact...
It's totally not the same concept.
never mind.
The fact that people can follow me and imitate me shows that my movies are powerful and can create a big trend.
That's good!
Maybe my "Blood War 2" can become the first hottest and most popular movie in Chinese history!
Li Mingrui comforted himself in this way, and after this comfort, he felt quite good.
but……!
"Paranormal Activity" suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Not only did it generate a staggering box office success, but it also attracted countless followers.
October 15th to October 22nd!
Just one week!
Yes!
Seven days!
In just seven days, this trend was like a tornado, sweeping across the entire Chinese entertainment industry!
Li Mingrui was stunned!
There was actually a twitching feeling!
His "Blood War 2" these people are just copycat movie names, except for the name, everything else is fine.
but……
"Paranormal Activity" is completely different!
Not only did they follow various names, but even the screenwriter's name followed the trend.
In just one week, countless screenwriters such as twelve, thirteen, and fifteen appeared online...
Similarly, such as "Paranormal Activity", "Paranormal Activity", "Ghost Head Record"...
These names are so common that there is nothing they can't write, except what you can't think of.
The director Xu Lin's performance of "Ghost Stories" shocked everyone.
He seemed to be possessed. After completing the filing with the relevant departments, he started filming without saying a word. It only took him four days and an investment of more than 300,000 yuan to make "Ghost Stories".
The filming cost three hundred thousand, but the publicity...
All right……
He estimated that he spent more than four million on publicity!
Not only did he try to take advantage of all the popularity that could be gained from various Weibo media, he also did not miss out on any hot topics in various fields.
Many people on the Internet said that Xu Lin’s new movie was full of the familiar taste of bad movies.
Bad movie?
No!
How could it be a bad movie!
It doesn't matter if it's a bad movie.
Xu Lin feels that his movie has the original flavor of "Paranormal Activity" and it will be a box office no matter how bad it is.
I don't expect it to make tens of millions at the box office like "Paranormal Activity", but a box office of ten million should be no problem, right?
Because of the hype from entertainment industry directors like Xu Lin, the popularity of Paranormal Activity is getting stronger day by day, and it has completely overshadowed the box office explosion movies such as Deep Sea Shark and Hard Boiled Family 2 in October...
In fact, the single-day box office on October 22nd broke the terrifying record of 18 million!
Early October...
All kinds of news in the film industry belong to these movies.
But after the release of Paranormal Activity...
Tsk tsk!
Feel sorry!
You have to give way.
The Yangtze River is outstripping the old by the new, and you are completely out of date.
My time of terror has come...
When Andor saw that his movie "Deep Sea Shark" had completely lost its popularity in China, he was stunned.
He didn't get the treatment that a box office champion deserved in China, instead...
His popularity is gradually dropping.
As the popularity dropped, "Deep Sea Shark" caused the subsequent single-day box office to gradually drop.
For some reason, the downward trend has become quite obvious, as if one has fallen straight into a bottomless abyss.
seem……
Is it really outdated?
Andorra fell into doubt unconsciously.
But it's okay.
He is still unbeatable in Hollywood.
At least……
"Paranormal Activity" is not his rival in Hollywood.
…
October 27th.
At the end of October, autumn is becoming more and more intense.
Many netizens call October the month of "Paranormal Activity".
Whether it is Deep Sea Shark or Hard Boiled 2, these movies have not received the treatment they deserve. You can hardly see the box office information of these two movies on the Internet...
"War Blood 2" is similar, and it also has a sense of being outdated.
"Paranormal Activity" is like a big devil. Its momentum is already established and even unstoppable. Even if it did not rank third among the movies in October, it still got the treatment that a champion deserves.
At the same time, netizens call October the era of bad movies.
In the coming months, netizens feel that bad movies like "Ghost Story" will definitely emerge in an endless stream and blind their eyes.
When everyone, including some people in the circle, were expressing their feelings about this, the relevant department’s Weibo was suddenly updated.
"There are many superstitious plots in "Ghost Story". Similarly, movies like "Ghost Scene Record" and "Ghost Head Record" have many discordant and bloody scenes. For the positive and progressive cause of harmonious Chinese films, we also respect the original plots. In the future, such copycat movies will not be released in mainland China. We hereby declare..."
After seeing this statement, netizens applauded and gave this Weibo post a rare number of likes.
As for Director Xu Lin, who had spent millions on publicity and was planning to make a fortune, he was stunned!
What?
What's going on?
Why isn't it released?
It is true that the two movies "Paranormal Activity" and "The Blind Date" may have bloody scenes that affect the harmony, but there is absolutely no problem with his "Crazy Tales"!
There is absolutely no blood type, and the scale is very average, and it is said to be superstitious...
It’s just that my final scene is a little more mysterious.
"Hello... Xiao Liu... Can you talk to the leaders above? My "Ghost Stories" will be rectified, all superstitious plots will be deleted, and there will be no ghosts or anything like that. If possible, I can even insert some positive energy..." Xu Lin was anxious and quickly called the relevant department.
How could he not be anxious?
The film investment was nearly 4.3 million.
You can't just say it's gone, right?
"Director Xu... I'm sorry... No..."
"Why? Can't I make such a correction?"
"Well, yes, no, I heard that your movie was criticized by the two old masters personally. Director Xu, you should reflect on it. It's not good to follow the trend..."
"This... I want to know why... why didn't the old man agree?"
"Boss Xu... let me tell you the truth. If this movie was shot by Lu Yuan, it wouldn't be a problem to get approved. After all, the two old men have a very good impression of Lu Yuan. But... you are not Lu Yuan!"
“…”
"Besides, you are not a Hollywood movie...it is even more impossible for you to have any special privileges..."
I'm not Lu Yuan?
I'm not Lu Yuan!
I am not a Hollywood movie…
Xu Lin's eyes widened, and he suddenly sat down on the chair, and then he was completely confused.
Lu Yuan...
Is Lu Yuan really going to heaven?
When did he get along so well with these two gentlemen above?
…
"Editor-in-Chief..."
"Oh, it's Xiao Zhou, sit down..."
"I want to ask, why did you sign the follow-up report of Paranormal Activity with Chen Mingchong's name... This was clearly written by me!"
"Xiao Zhou, you are also an old employee of our newspaper. I have always respected you. You are a talent, but I think we should give young people a little more opportunity, right?"
"I understand giving him a chance, but you can't give him all my hard-earned resources, editor-in-chief. That's going too far."
"Xiao Zhou, don't be angry, come, sit down..."
"Editor-in-Chief, I'm not talking about ideals right now. I just want an explanation... After all, I don't want your brother-in-law to take away all my things... I've worked so hard outside for so long, but in the end I didn't get any praise, and all my credit was lost... This is unfair to me!"
"Xiao Zhou, what's your attitude? Are you questioning me?"
"Attitude? Haha, Editor-in-Chief... I have always had an attitude..."
"Bang!"
"Zhou Shuai! Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know, I know exactly what I'm talking about..."
"you……"
"I quit!"
"Zhou Shuai! Think carefully. You need to know who has helped you rise to prominence. Don't you even know how to be grateful? What's wrong with me taking a little of your resources? You will have plenty more in the future!"
"Haha, the person who praises me and takes care of me all the time, who will find a way to contact me as soon as there are resources, I naturally know who it is, and that person is not you, Liu Yong!"
"Who is he? Have you been bribed?"
"Bribe? Haha, he is much greater and more sincere than you, Liu Yong! I am completely fed up with your hypocrisy!"
"Zhou Shuai! I won't bother with you because you are young and full of energy, but I warn you, if you leave here, you will be nothing!"
“Bang!”
"Someone once told me, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!' I'm giving this sentence to you now!"
"What do you mean!"
"It's meaningless, can't you hear that? I'm done with this!"
"Bang!"
Zhou Shuai threw the camera to the ground and tore the company label on his body into pieces.
"you……"
"Just stay with your brother-in-law. I've had enough!"
Zhou Shuai slammed the door shut.
Closed tightly!
“…”
…
Lu Yuan doesn't pay much attention to what happens in the entertainment industry.
He is a vulgar man.
All he cares about is the money in his pocket.
He only cares about the box office.
Of course, the daily box office of "Paranormal Activity" gave Lu Yuan a surprise. Apart from the necessary studies and filming every day, Lu Yuan basically looked at the box office data happily.
He was very happy. After watching the box office continuously breaking the record of the previous day, Lu Yuan had a premonition that his wallet would get fatter again.
This is very comfortable.
These days, he dreamed every day that he was swimming in a sea of money and enjoying endless happiness and pleasure.
At this moment...
His cell phone rang.
He answered the phone.
"Ayuan... do it!"
"????"
Lu Yuan was shocked.
His ** tightened instantly!
What?
Dry?
What are you doing?
???
