Chapter 408 Why don't you play by the rules again? ?
It doesn't matter what the outside world says.
To put it bluntly, no matter whether they are praised or criticized, it really doesn’t matter at all, because actors, screenwriters, directors, singers, songwriters, etc., all need to speak through their works.
It's useless to try to please someone temporarily.
Let’s go back to what Zou Jun had said to Yu Xiaoshu before. In the entertainment industry, water does not compete for the lead, but flows continuously. In fact, if you look back at the situation in the entertainment industry, you will find that this statement is so true.
No one can guarantee that he will always be popular.
Many of the people from Hong Kong were extremely popular at the beginning, but later they completely disappeared from the public eye, and even some veteran actors and actresses from the mainland were the same.
Therefore, it is not easy to keep being popular, and sometimes it also requires the right time, place and people.
Not to mention the Earth, isn't it the same for Planet Yuan?
Among the actors of the same group as Liu Bin and Dong Jun, many of them either retired passively or voluntarily. In short, they have basically faded out of the entertainment industry. There is no chance for them to make a comeback.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Bin and Dong Jun can indeed be considered lucky.
If they were unlucky, the two of them probably wouldn't have met Yu Xiaoshu. And if they hadn't met Yu Xiaoshu, the two of them might still be filming some outdated small crappy dramas, or even only be able to play supporting roles.
As I said, in the entertainment industry, luck is also part of strength.
In fact, not to mention the actors in the TV series "In the Name of People", there are also the actors in "Lost in Thailand". In this regard, Lin Feiyang and Ding Ge needless to say, these two people are now at the peak of their careers.
Lin Feiyang has always been in the field of online dramas and TV dramas, but he successfully dug out his own comedy style with the role of Li Chenggong in "Lost on Journey".
As for Dingge, there is no need to mention it. In the beginning, many people thought that Dingge was just a flash in the pan. After all, he was completely related to both sides.
Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault" is just Ding Ge catching up with the trend.
Just good luck.
Many people attribute Ding Ge's ability to star in "Soldier Assault" to good luck. For many people, they are envious and jealous, so they can only say that Ding Ge is lucky.
But later, Ding Ge successfully brought the character of Liuzi to life in "Let the Bullets Fly", and now some people don't know what to say.
If the first success was due to luck, then what was the reason for the second success?
kindness.
It’s because Ding Ge hugged Yu Xiaoshu’s thighs that Ding Ge is so powerful.
As for Ding Ge's performance in "Lost on Journey", it was not unanimously praised.
People even felt that Dingge's performance didn't require any acting skills at all.
That's right.
Just pretending to be stupid.
Precisely because of the box office success of Lost on Journey, coupled with the performances of the duo Ding Ge and Lin Feiyang, many people felt that this routine was too simple and they could do it too.
So, in fact, as we said before, except for "Lost in Thailand" which has not yet started filming, some of the so-called "囧" series that followed the trend have already started filming.
It's obvious that these people just want to take advantage of this popularity.
Because for them, face is not important, box office is important.
Obviously, these people believe that as long as they follow the trend, they can succeed.
This was also the reason why Li Qing was anxious before.
In Li Qing's opinion, if other people follow suit, especially those who may release their films before the National Day holiday, then this may consume the popularity of the movie "Lost on Journey".
Yu Xiaoshu was not worried at all about this.
Are you kidding me?
If success could be achieved simply by following a trend, there probably wouldn't be so many flops.
Moreover, think about it, the reason for the success of the囧 system is not because of the so-called simple routine, but because of the actors and the script.
Do you really think that the Niu Dan played by Ding Ge can be handled so easily? ?
What are you thinking??
For this reason, when it comes to the movie "Lost in Thailand", Yu Xiaoshu is actually the only one who is not worried about other movies taking advantage of the popularity.
The more you get, the better.
Because Yu Xiaoshu looked at the casting and some so-called publicity directions of several other films.
Very good.
It was off track from the beginning.
Everyone only saw that Lost on Journey made a lot of money at the box office, but they didn’t see how the movie made a lot of money, or even the core of the movie. So, how did they succeed? ?
Today, "In the Name of People" and "Lost in Thailand" started filming at the same time, so there will definitely be a lot of media reporters coming, and these media reporters will definitely only focus on one person.
That is Yu Xiaoshu.
This is indeed the case.
Many reporters have already arrived at the scene.
Everyone looked at the opening banquet that had already been set up. The banner that was held up read 'Good luck to the start of filming of "In the Name of People" and "Lost in Thailand"'.
Good job.
No one would have thought that even the banners could be saved so much.
Quite interesting.
It is indeed interesting.
“Do you think these two shows can really continue to be successful?”
"Well, to be honest, even though I said online that I could continue to be successful, it's actually hard to say."
"Oh?? What do you mean?"
“Think about it, anti-corruption is a sensitive topic, and ‘Sweeping Dark Storm’ has already fought corruption once, so if ‘In the Name of People’ does it again, do you think the market will be a little tired of it?”
"That's a good point. In fact, it's hard to say about In the Name of People, but I think Lost in Thailand is a bit difficult."
"Oh?? Why is this drama a bit difficult??"
"Nonsense, this movie was supposed to be released during the National Day holiday, but Lost in Thailand was originally a sequel, but a lot of other people are just following suit."
…
These people can be said to have their own opinions. Of course, you can't say whether each person's opinion is right or wrong. Everyone is just discussing.
What is more important is that these people are just rational journalists. Because of their rationality, they would not think that these two works will be successful without any reason.
Zhou Mei, a reporter from China Film News who has been reporting on Yu Xiaoshu, disagrees with this.
At the beginning, she was similar to Xiang Fei and others. She also felt that it was really not possible for Yu Xiaoshu to switch from TV dramas to movies, especially since Yu Xiaoshu was so inflated. In fact, Zhou Mei was quite dissatisfied at the beginning.
Too inflated.
Of course Zhou Mei knew that Yu Xiaoshu had the qualifications to be arrogant, but she still didn't like it.
More importantly, how can it be so easy to transfer a TV series to a movie?
So at the beginning, Zhou Mei really wrote a lot about Yu Xiaoshu under a pseudonym.
As a result, after Zhou Mei watched "Let the Bullets Fly", she stopped writing anything negative.
She felt that Yu Xiaoshu was indeed quite inflated and there was nothing wrong with that.
If "Let the Bullets Fly" still has some issues, then there is nothing much to say about "Lost on Journey" released during the Lunar New Year.
Too strong.
It’s really strong.
Zhou Mei never thought that "Lost on Journey" would achieve such a high score, which is unprecedented and will never be surpassed.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Mei actually wanted to know more about Yu Xiaoshu's expectations for the movie "Lost in Thailand".
Or, what does Yu Xiaoshu think about other copycat movies.
At the same time, she didn't agree with what others said about "Lost in Thailand" being a flop. Zhou Mei thought of Yu Xiaoshu's record in online dramas.
At the beginning, many people followed Yu Xiaoshu, but they all failed one after another.
So just look at this and you will know.
Following Yu Xiaoshu is courting death.
But if you think about it carefully, "Lost on Journey" doesn't seem to be very good compared to the others, especially the fact that the formula of this movie is too consistent, or too simple. So everyone thinks that if it is so simple, others will definitely be able to succeed as well.
But Zhou Mei always felt something was wrong.
After all, she has been in the industry for so many years. Over the years, the film market has always been unpredictable. Some films you thought would be successful turned out to be flops, while other films you thought would be flops, turned out to be successful.
So, many people often say that everything in movies is impossible.
Just like the two movies "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Lost on Journey", especially "Lost on Journey", it actually created such a miracle with a small investment and a big return. Even now, some investors are drooling with envy when talking about this movie.
But is Lost on Journey really that simple? ?
In fact, Zhou Mei has written a review of the movie "Lost on Journey". To be honest, this movie is really irresponsible. If you want to follow the trend of "Lost on Journey", it is actually not difficult.
Use two protagonists, and the two protagonists should have completely different personalities. At the same time, use some plots to connect them together, and try to make the middle part as funny as possible.
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Mei felt that I could do it too.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Mei was also a little confused.
She believed that Yu Xiaoshu was a smart man. For more than three years, Yu Xiaoshu had never failed. Zhou Mei had also investigated and even conducted some exclusive interviews with Yu Xiaoshu. To her, Yu Xiaoshu was truly omnipotent.
Truly omnipotent.
Because Yu Xiaoshu is not only a screenwriter, he is also a great editor. It is not just about editing. He brought Zhu Zhichao out step by step.
Thinking about it this way, who wouldn’t say that Yu Xiaoshu is awesome?
How could such a smart person do something stupid?
Besides, Zhou Mei believes in Yu Xiaoshu's script. If "Sweeping Dark Storm" is a hit, then "In the Name of People" may not necessarily fail.
What's more, the original cast of "In the Name of People" is used.
Thinking about it this way, no matter from which aspect, "In the Name of People" cannot fail.
However, as for "Lost in Thailand", apart from talking about failure, Zhou Mei wanted to know what Yu Xiaoshu was thinking.
“Here I come.”
Just as Zhou Mei was thinking about it, someone suddenly exclaimed, and then Yu Xiaoshu arrived with a group of actors and directors.
Everyone should worship God and turn on the computer first.
Then we took a group photo together.
It’s a real group photo.
After all, this is a film starring the two crews of "Lost in Thailand" and "In the Name of People".
Next is the interview session.
Whether it is the actors of the drama "In the Name of People" or Lin Feiyang and Ding Ge from "Lost in Thailand", there is nothing to interview.
After all, this is not the first time we have worked together.
In this case, everyone just asked some nonsense questions.
After all, the necessary preparations are there.
For example, ask these actors what they want to say about their second collaboration, and ask Lin Feiyang and Ding Ge what expectations they have for the next collaboration.
kindness.
It's really nonsense.
As for Zhang Feng, not many people asked him.
This is why out-of-date actors are worse than chickens.
Basically no reporter is willing to ask.
The highlight is coming next.
Then it would naturally be Yu Xiaoshu.
"Teacher Yu, what do you think the ratings of In the Name of People will be? Will the ratings of this drama exceed those of Sweeping Dark Storm?"
As expected, the first question was asked by Meiling again.
Obviously, Meiling hasn't changed at all at the moment.
In other words, she doesn't need any changes.
It's normal to think about it. Meiling's father is the grandmother, so why should she make any changes? ?
However, everyone thought that Yu Xiaoshu would definitely not say anything about this question.
Just like the press conference for the launch of "Sweeping Dark Storm". How could this question be easily answered?
But this time Yu Xiaoshu did laugh.
Very good.
The last time Yu Xiaoshu felt that Meiling’s question was impolite, because Yu Xiaoshu didn’t think that the ratings of “Sweeping Dark Storm” could exceed those of “Soldier Assault”.
But this time it's different.
This time, let’s not talk about whether the drama "In the Name of People" can surpass "Soldier Assault", but Yu Xiaoshu believes that this drama can surpass "Sweeping Dark Storm".
So Yu Xiaoshu looked at Meiling and said with a smile: "You are right. The ratings of "In the Name of People" will definitely exceed those of "Sweeping Dark Storm."
ha? ?
Meiling actually didn’t expect Yu Xiaoshu to be able to answer. Not only her, but everyone else was also stunned at this time.
But Zhou Mei laughed.
good.
This is Yu Xiaoshu’s character.
He is always like this, always surprising.
At the beginning, Zhou Mei also interviewed Liu Qianqian. At that time, Liu Qianqian said that she felt she did not understand publicity, and at the beginning, she was also helped by Yu Xiaoshu.
This is interesting.
Who would have thought that Yu Xiaoshu even knew about publicity.
So, from "The Undocumented Crime" to "Sweeping Dark Storm", does this illustrate one thing?
That is, the publicity was largely due to Yu Xiaoshu.
If that's really the case.
That would be really incredible.
Others have also speculated about this matter.
It seems now.
This time, Yu Xiaoshu was ready to continue doing so.
Meiling then asked, "Then Mr. Yu, do you mean that the quality of In the Name of People is higher than that of Sweeping Dark Storm?"
…
