Director An Zhou, who had never been in contact with the anti-sky since his cooperation with Kuiguang Group, left his comfort zone and had a very strong withdrawal reaction after seeing the monsters.
What is this weird and funny thing?
When Ji Yan was halfway through her performance, An Zhou was already annoyed by her acting and wanted to scold her severely on the spot.
If this happened on a movie set, An Zhou wasn't sure if he would stand up and curse.
Unfortunately, this is a variety show with many cameras pointing at him, so An Zhou still forced himself to suppress his desire to complain.
It was not until Qin Xin started the review session that An Zhou could no longer hold back and became the first person to comment: "Your expression is stiff, your acting is deliberate, and your movements are stiff. The plot you are playing is obviously very serious and dangerous, and a gunfight may break out at any time, but your acting skills do not show such tension and crisis at all."
"Instead of making people feel nervous or anxious, it makes people feel a sense of nonsensical humor!"
"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought there was a company of soldiers hidden in that rice jar!"
"Because one person's acting directly destroyed the atmosphere of the entire film, it was a failure among failures."
"Even if we ignore these subjective perceptions and only consider the professionalism of your movements, your entire set of moves can be described as a disaster among disasters."
"You are like an amateur trying to show off the few introductory skills you just learned. When you are performing, do you still think you are very professional and handsome? But you only give me one feeling, awkwardness."
"When searching a small room like a house, the gun cannot be exposed straight out. The gun is usually held in front of the chest, which makes it smoother to draw the gun..."
“…”
After speaking a lot, An Zhou finally calmed down a little, took two deep breaths, and finally concluded: "In short, 0 points is my final evaluation of your disastrous acting skills."
After saying that, An Zhou glanced at the solemn faces of the trainees below the stage and said, "I know that you must have known me before the variety show, and the relationship between me and Kuiguang Group... But if you think that I will go easy on you when grading because of this relationship, you are totally wrong. Let me say it again, there is no limit on the number of places in the elimination group. If everyone performs like this, then everyone will be in the elimination group."
After An Zhou finished speaking, it was the turn of other guests.
Guan Yunpeng directly asked the camera crew to show Ji Yan the original film they had just recorded, while Feng Luo shared his summary of successes and failures as an actor over the years.
Shang Qianyu, who had not failed many times, analyzed the situation from a mental perspective and told Ji Yan that the most important thing to forget when performing is that he is performing.
"You have to really immerse yourself in the role and put yourself in the person's shoes in order to act well."
When the instructor was commenting, the young couple and the comments on the screen couldn't help but express their feelings.
"I didn't expect that my Hercules Sister Feng would be the most gentle one."
"She even shared her own experience of failure. Is my sister Feng so humble? I feel like she wasn't like this before."
"In the past, everyone thought that they should try not to talk about their past failures, and the less they talked about, the better, so that they could maintain their own image and their status in the hearts of fans. Now, Sister Feng Luo finds that she doesn't seem to need to do that."
"Hahaha...Now that the Internet is so developed, celebrity idols are no longer shrouded in such a thick halo of mystery as before. On the contrary, a more realistic personality can attract more fans. Isn't it more attractive to have the courage to face up to one's own failures and share one's experience of going from failure to success than a perfect halo?"
“Alas, having said that, I still kind of miss the gentle and elegant goddess Feng Luo… Although Goddess Dali is also a goddess, there’s always something wrong with her style, hahahahaha!”
"The rumor that Kuiguang Group will alienate a person is true."
"Alienation in a good direction, right?"
"Hahaha! I think Director An Zhou is about to break down. It's no wonder Ji Yan said this. He can use his own strength to make the director of "The Boys" who won an international award break down on the spot. I have to say that he is quite capable."
"Her acting was indeed bad. Shang Qianyu was still kind."
"To be honest, there is no difference between 59 points and 0 points. Both are unqualified and will be thrown into the elimination group."
"Now everyone gives Ji Yan 0 points, of course it doesn't matter. If the score is close to the passing line, these 59 points can greatly affect the average."
“That’s true…”
While eating, reading the barrage, and watching the content of the variety show, the young couple felt that their eyes were a little overwhelmed.
The next performer after Ji Yan was a trainee named Kong Feifei. She looked pretty good in all aspects and played a tragic role in a costume drama. After the performance, she barely got a B score, which was considered average.
After the first round of class division was completed, the second episode of "All-Round Trainee" also ended.
The content of the third episode is to shoot a short drama, put it online to test the results, and decide who will gain an advantage in the second round of gunfight based on the results.
“I’ve finished watching it now…”
"Honestly, I'm really looking forward to this gunfight. When will it start?"
"Uh, aren't you looking forward to the skits they're going to shoot? These trainees can do so many weird things even when acting from a script. If they were to direct, write and act, what would they come up with? Aren't you really curious?"
"When you put it that way, my interest suddenly piqued..." The boy said with his eyes half empty, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, "Wait, if everyone is watching the skit with the intention of watching a bad movie, will this competition become distorted to some extent?"
As an outsider, the girl was more sober than her boyfriend, who was an expert in the industry. "You're overthinking it. A short drama is naturally divided into episodes. People who are curious will watch the first few episodes, but definitely won't watch the rest... The designers of variety shows are so good that they only need to add the completion rate when calculating the statistics."
Viewing data below a certain completion rate needs to be discounted before being counted. Otherwise, it is possible that someone is trying to get away with it by filming a bad movie.
"Well, it's not easy to expect everyone to make a bad movie like Shelter."
"Well, others say it's a bad movie, but in fact, there are a lot of things to learn. Otherwise, why can Shelter's bad movies last so long when there are thousands of bad movies?"
"I heard that their Sharknado series has reached the third episode. Let's go and watch it when we have time..."
“…”
…
While Director An Zhou was helplessly tortured by his terrible acting, General Manager Yang was processing documents in the office, which was a rare occasion.
It’s not because Mr. Yang has suddenly become diligent, but because this quarter’s financial report is really pleasing.
Even if "All or Nothing" is a box office hit, the revenue it brings is far from enough to make up for the recent expenses.
The establishment of two company branches, the procurement of materials for the company's annual meeting, the hosting of a super-large variety show, the construction of a theme park, and the lawsuit against Yuefu Group...
The group's daily operating income, the continued revenue from several films and the box office of the films have all added up to approach the 1 billion mark, but it is still outshined by these big money-eaters.
Many of these projects do not bring direct profits, such as the lawsuit with Yuefu Group... Judging from the current situation, winning the case is basically a foregone conclusion, and the compensation will be paid as a stab to Mr. Yang in the back at some point in the future, but definitely not now.
After completion, other projects will also be included in the "Group's Daily Operating Income" column, gradually increasing the group's monthly loss pressure, but as long as there is no concentrated outbreak, it is not a big deal.
When thinking about this, Mr. Yang suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Wait, when the company's peripheral operations could only provide the company with a few million in revenue each quarter, I think that's how I comforted myself?"
At that time, Mr. Yang also felt that for this kind of long-term project, as long as the profits were not concentrated, the profits could be spread over each quarter, allowing the group to achieve a "soft landing in losses."
No matter how much profit you make, as long as the profits are spread over more quarters, you won't have to worry about losses.
However, as the business progressed, the revenue from daily peripheral products increased every quarter, from a few million to tens of millions, and from tens of millions to nine figures.
Everything is going on so quietly.
The amount that was once insignificant, and the peripheral income that was almost a drop in the bucket compared to the movie box office revenue, has now grown into a super terrifying and complex behemoth without anyone noticing! No matter how many quarters are spread out, it can't withstand the explosive growth of the Kuiguang Group's industry! Yang Ruoqian looked at the financial report after realizing it, and then he realized the real culprit for his increasing loss of money: "No, even if I remove the income from the movie box office, the output of these peripherals is still a huge number!"
"Even if I don't do anything every quarter, the profits brought to me by these industries alone are so much that it makes my scalp numb..."
"Besides, these industries are intertwined. If I secretly issue one or two plans for a certain project, the impact on the whole will probably be a drop in the bucket."
"Sure enough, putting things off until later is not a good habit."
"Fortunately, I was crazy enough this quarter and invested in enough projects... This level of spending is unmatched in the world. Even if I can make money, I will definitely lose money."
When Yang Ruoqian had almost finished reading the financial report, Qi Mu walked into the office from outside with several documents.
The secretary, who always gets straight to the point, was no exception this time. After putting down the documents, she directly picked out the important information to report: "Boss Yang, the recent broadcast data of "Almighty Trainee" is very good, and the live-fire training ground is also ready."
"How's the actual battle site being arranged?" Yang Ruoqian ignored the word "ratings" and went straight to the question that concerned him the most. "The third episode of the variety show should have been filmed. Don't let anything go wrong by then."
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged." Qi Mu said with a smile, "The relevant approvals for the helicopter route over there have also been passed. We will need your helicopter when the show is broadcast."
Use it... Anyway, ever since the filming of "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" was finished, this helicopter has been placed on the roof of the Kuiguang Building, collecting dust.
Apart from maintaining a group of crew members and consuming huge amounts of maintenance costs every day, it never even entered Yang Ruoqian's sight again.
"Yes, let's speed up the construction on the island as much as possible." Yang Ruoqian nodded, "The singing and dancing projects will be arranged a little later."
After reporting on the variety show, Qi Mu continued, "The dividends from our overseas projects were settled yesterday. It takes some time to convert such a large amount of funds into foreign currency. Do you plan to directly reserve this part of the foreign currency, or convert it into RMB?"
Yang Ruoqian's eyes turned from the computer screen to Qi Mu's face, full of doubts: "Project dividends? How much?"
Yang Ruoqian knew that the Kuiguang Group had some overseas income. The Black Robe Inspection Team had quite a lot of box office revenue overseas at the time, so he was not completely without relevant experience.
But now the popularity of "Black Robe Inspection Team" has long passed, how can there be a sudden overseas income? And dividends? Does his Kuiguang Group have any business that can pay dividends? Qi Mu saw Yang Ruoqian's confusion, so he reminded him: "Mr. Yang, have you forgotten that when you went abroad to receive the award last time, you sent a team to acquire shares of a game company."
Mr. Yang, who had just boasted that he was invincible, now had a vague feeling of unrest in his heart.
This is an enemy directly from outer space, right?
There is no backstabbing in the domestic projects, so it must be a strong intervention by foreign forces, right? It is finally a quarter with a hope of making a loss, and suddenly a foreign force comes? Will there be another foreign force next time? !
The last time Yang Ruoqian invested in a game company, he left immediately after giving the money. The company invited him to join the board of directors, but he was ruthlessly rejected.
Later, there was an incident of distributing game beta test qualifications. Yang Ruoqian took this opportunity to conduct a very abstract human-machine verification, which caused quite a stir on the Internet.
Then he never managed the company again.
After hearing that the company was developing a turn-based game, Mr. Yang, who loves playing games, no longer paid attention to related information.
Why is there a sudden dividend now? !
Qi Mu smiled and said, "Their new game is selling well and they made a lot of money. Recently, it happened to be the day when they distributed dividends to various investors... The money has been transferred to our overseas account, about 40 million US dollars."
Forty million...US dollars...
Before Mr. Yang could react to the number, Qi Mu said, "Some foreign investors are very interested in you and the group. They want to visit you at some time. I will help you contact Yan Jinyu for the details. Can you talk to her in detail?" (End of this chapter)
