Chapter 189 I'm really stupid, really (please subscribe)
Wang Bao was indeed a little ashamed.
He has miscalculated three times in a row.
At the beginning, he was not optimistic about "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". He thought that this web drama would definitely fail, but he did not expect "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" to become a big hit.
Later, Wang Bao thought that the performance of "Hard Candy" would be similar, but he didn't expect it to be a huge hit, a huge hit, a huge hit.
So, Wang Bao began to look forward to "The Visitors" because the outside world's praise for Baiqian Media made Wang Bao a little arrogant.
Anything produced by Baiqian must be of the highest quality.
Because of these eight big words, Wang Bao has high expectations for "The Visitors". In addition, he thinks the script of "The Visitors" is very good, and he believes that this online movie will definitely be a hit.
As a result, the market taught us a lesson.
Currently, the number of views of "The Visitor" is 8,500, and it is already 11 o'clock in the morning, which means that "The Visitor" has only 8,500 views in 15 hours.
The most important thing is that the number of playback clicks has completely stagnated.
With 8,500 hits, the box office is basically only 400,000. At the same time, considering some advertisements, the box office is at most 500,000.
This result is considered good, but compared with the promotion of "The Man Who Fell to Earth" and the previous expectations, this box office is far from enough.
What’s more important is that of the 8,500 playback clicks, 8,000 of them were achieved in the first eight hours.
That's scary.
This means that "The Man Who Fell to Earth" has no follow-up power and no stamina. Such a performance can be said to be almost doomed to failure.
Although "Alien" has been bought out by MiLi Video, and the buyout price is not low, Baiqian Media can be said to have made a profit. Even if it fails, they will not lose anything.
But that’s not how it works.
Why did MiLi Video dare to buy out "The Visitor" at a high price?
Isn't it because this year Baiqian Media produced five film and television phenomenon dramas in one go, including "I Am Yu Huanshui", "The Undocumented Crime", "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" and "Hard Candy", so Mili Video certainly wants to take the gamble.
If "The Outsiders" can continue to be a hit this time, then subsequent online movies produced by Baiqian Media will receive extremely high buyouts, and we can even talk about guaranteed buyouts.
But who could have imagined that such a basin of cold water would be poured down upon me.
At present, MiLi Video can’t even make back its investment, and it’s afraid that it can’t even recover its publicity and promotion costs.
Most of the MiLi Video websites have been badly cheated.
Wang Bao also woke up.
If Baiqian wants this to be a high-quality work, it must be written by Yu Xiaoshu.
Thinking about his previous arrogance, Wang Bao felt quite ashamed.
In the office, Wang Bao was speechless for a moment, but he finally apologized to Yu Xiaoshu sincerely: "Xiaoshu, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in judgment in this paragraph."
Yu Xiaoshu was a little amused: "Uncle Wang, what kind of apology is this? Besides, we should just listen to what people say about Baiqian's productions being top-notch. You don't really take it seriously, do you? The media is like this. They can praise me to the sky today, but if my next drama fails, they will trample me to death in an instant. I've experienced this before."
That's true.
Wang Bao sighed in his heart, as expected, Yu Xiaoshu had experienced it once, so he could be so calm. On the contrary, he, Wang Bao, was a little worried.
It's really a bit embarrassing.
Yu Xiaoshu continued at this time: "Uncle Wang, don't say anything sorry, it's all for the company. The actors of "The Hidden Corner" were basically gathered yesterday, so it should start filming in the next few days. By then, I may stay in Hong Kong City with the crew for a while."
"OK."
Wang Bao nodded gently: "Then have you arranged for "All Is Well" and "Go Go Squid!"
"'Go Go Squid!' will start casting soon. The script has been completely polished, and with Xiao Xue watching over it, there will basically be no problems."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "I was just about to talk to Mr. He and ask him to send someone to coordinate the actors."
“What about All Is Well?”
Wang Bao frowned and asked, "Xiao Shu, this is the first TV series of Baiqian Media after all, we can't be careless about this."
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. Once the crew of The Bad Kids is stable, I will focus on All Is Well."
Yu Xiaoshu said nonchalantly, "There's no rush. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the chopping of wood."
Wang Bao said: "Okay, since you know what's going on, then there's no problem. If there's anything you need my assistance with, then just tell me."
"Okay, and Uncle Wang, we can't stop recruiting at Baiqian Media. There are too few people available."
Yu Xiaoshu thought for a moment and said, "The composition department is still a little thin. We are not in a hurry to find artists, but we still need to recruit a few more crew members. We need to train them for a long time."
Wang Bao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already started working on it."
"That's fine. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Yu Xiaoshu stood up and said, "I'll go talk to Mr. He."
"good."
Wang Ding nodded slightly.
Five minutes later, Yu Xiaoshu arrived at He Wu's office.
"Teacher Yu, if you have anything to say, just ask your assistant to tell me."
When He Wu saw that it was Yu Xiaoshu, he stood up hurriedly, then smiled and poured a glass of water for Yu Xiaoshu and said, "What's the matter? Tell me what you want."
"Mr. He, you are too polite. It's not like I can give you an order."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly and said, "It's like this. 'Go Go Squid!' will be open for casting soon. You have to pay more attention to the casting of the actors. Coordinate with Jiang Bo and Xiao Xue."
"No problem, this is what I should do."
He Wu hurriedly said: "Then Teacher Yu, what are you doing..."
"As for me, I can't take care of 'Go Go Squid' for the time being. Besides, this campus drama is relatively easy to shoot. There is no problem with casting Jiang Bo and Xiao Xue."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "The filming of 'The Hidden Corner' will start in the next few days, so I have to keep an eye on that area. Also, you should send someone to coordinate with the actors to see about the time they can join the crew."
Now that He Wu is here, there is no need for Yu Xiaoshu to do everything himself.
He just needs to focus on the main points.
After coming out of He Wu’s office, Yu Xiaoshu came to the artist’s office.
kindness.
The artist's office is still quite depressing today.
After all, except Wang Chao and Wang Ziyi, all other artists participated in this movie "Aliens".
Wu Lan is the female lead, Wang Tianfang is the male lead, and artists from Baiqian Media such as Li Guanglun, Hou Can, and Wang Zhengxing also participated in the performance.
They had complicated feelings after "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" became a huge hit, especially Wu Lan. She could have played the role of Chen Chuchu, but at that time Wu Lan felt that the role of Chen Chuchu was the second female lead, how could it compare to the first female lead?
As a result, she never expected that "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" would become such a hit, and the character of Chen Chuchu was liked by so many people.
Wu Lan has complicated feelings.
Soon after, she saw the huge hit of the online movie "Hard Candy". In Wu Lan's opinion, if such a low-cost and low-promotion online movie could be a hit, then "The Outsiders" would definitely be able to be a hit as well.
result? ?
I never thought he would be such a scumbag.
Sometimes, whether a drama is a hit or not just depends on how much discussion it receives.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that so many people say that "Hidden Murderer" is rubbish, but if you look at the level of discussion you will know that the current results are quite reasonable.
But what about the online drama “The Visitor”? ?
Everyone first calls it a bad movie, then calls it trash.
The most important thing is that actors have absolutely nothing to do with these discussions.
Wu Lan, the leading actress, has been on the air for 15 hours, but her number of fans on social media platforms has not increased at all.
No exaggeration.
There really wasn't any increase at all.
Even when people discuss aliens, they just say that these aliens are a bit saintly.
But there was absolutely no discussion about Wu Lan.
No.
None.
Some dramas fail, but the actors can still gain recognition for their roles, but some dramas fail and the actors fail miserably.
This is the case with "The Visitor".
This online movie was definitely a flop, and the leading actors Wang Tianfang and Wu Lan did not receive any attention at all. Apart from their characters being badly criticized, the actors did not gain any benefit at all.
If the leading actors are like this, let alone the supporting actors.
Sometimes, some supporting roles may have their shining points, and even golden supporting roles can often hold up a drama, but Li Guanglun, Hou Can, Wang Zhengyi and others did not have very good acting skills, and also did not receive any attention.
In short.
Very scumbag.
The dregs have been thrown into the millet.
In this case, how can these people not have complicated feelings? ?
Before "The Undocumented Crime", these artists from Baiqian Media started from the same starting line and basically all failed.
As a result, Wang Chao quickly became famous with "The Undocumented Crime" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
As for Wang Ziyi, he became an instant hit with "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
Apart from these two people, the others are still flops and invisible.
Needless to say, Wang Tianfang was given up on his role in "The Undocumented Crime" because of his unprofessionalism, and Yu Xiaoshu deliberately did not give him a chance in "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". He needs to take another look.
What about Wu Lan? ?
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu thought Wu Lan’s acting skills were good, so he wanted to give Wu Lan a chance.
But Wu Lan gave up on her own initiative.
There is no way to deal with this.
Wu Lan really regrets it.
She was just one step away from becoming famous.
Originally, she could have succeeded.
I'm so stupid.
real.
Wu Lan was in a very low mood, and the moods of others were even more complicated.
"Xiao Xue, come here for a moment."
Yu Xiaoshu came in at this time and spoke directly to Xiao Xue.
The others looked at Yu Xiaoshu with bright eyes.
After all, everyone knows that Baiqian Media will soon start filming three works.
"Wang Chao, did Teacher Yu tell you which play he wanted you to act in?"
At this time, Wu Lan suddenly asked Wang Chao.
Wang Chao shook his head slightly: "No."
"Really??"
Wu Lan asked with some disbelief.
"Of course not. I wouldn't lie to you."
Wang Chao shook his head slightly.
"What about Ziyi? Did Teacher Yu tell you which movie he would like you to star in?"
Wu Lan turned and asked the prince.
Prince shook his head: "No, Teacher Yu didn't tell me."
"I heard that the actors from The Hidden Corner were auditioning yesterday. In addition to the three young actors, there were also four adult artists. So that means we probably won't be in this web drama."
Wang Tianfang, who was standing by, analyzed: "Then we still have a great chance for the online drama "Together With You" and the TV drama "All Is Well."
Wu Lan sighed and said, "But didn't 'All Is Well' already announce that Bao Nan and Han Dan will be in it?"
"So what?"
Hou Can said disapprovingly: "Besides, I have figured out that as long as it is Teacher Yu's script, even if it is a supporting role, it will actually be outstanding, which is better than a mediocre drama."
"That's right."
Wang Zhengyi deeply agrees with this.
The others nodded slightly as well.
They are not stupid. The failure of "A Guest from Another World" made them regret it deeply. They should have clung to Yu Xiaoshu's thigh.
It is not shameful to be a bootlicker, but it is shameful to fail.
At this time, Wu Lan also turned her eyes slightly.
Originally, she wanted to gain fame by playing the leading role in the online movie "The Visitors", and then use it as a springboard to think about her future path. After all, as long as she became famous, she would get good treatment even if she changed jobs.
In Wu Lan's opinion, she should think more about herself while she is still young.
If a man does not work for his own benefit, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
But who would have thought that man proposes, God disposes, and "The Outsiders" ended up being such a horrible flop.
“There is still a chance.”
Wu Lan planned to take the initiative to talk to Yu Xiaoshu later.
After all, she is the only female artist in Baiqian Media, so Wu Lan feels that it is reasonable and logical for Yu Xiaoshu to give her a role.
Is it okay not to promote your own artists???
Thinking of this, Wu Lan had secretly made up her mind.
At this time, in Yu Xiaoshu's office.
"Xue'er, sit down."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "How about the script?"
"Teacher Yu, I've understood it thoroughly."
Xiao Xue said hurriedly.
joke.
With Yu Xiaoshu's support, if she still couldn't understand it, she might as well go home and sell cucumbers.
"Okay, the casting for 'Go Go Squid' will be handed over to you and Jiang Bo..."
When Yu Xiaoshu said this, Jiang Bo pushed the door open.
"Jiang Bo, you're here just in time. You also know Xiao Xue. You two must finish "Together in the Classroom" for me next. How do you think?"
Yu Xiaoshu looked at the two of them: "Are there any problems???"
Jiang Bo was still a little hesitant, but Xiao Xue said directly: "No problem."
Are you kidding??
She waited for so long and finally got this opportunity.
How could she give up?
Jiang Bo also said at this time: "No problem."
"Okay, that's good."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Come, sit down and talk. You two can first talk about the casting of "Together with You". Where are you going to start?"
