Chapter 482 Poverty is incurable
Friday, the last working day, is basically called Black Friday by many people. Many people are too lazy to work and just want to slack off and wait for the weekend.
The same goes for Feng Ling.
For Feng Ling, she is basically checking some information about the movie "Dying to Survive" on the Internet. After all, she bought a ticket for the evening show, so she now wants to see the reputation of "Dying to Survive".
Although Feng Ling believed in Yu Xiaoshu's script and believed even more in Lin Feiyang's acting skills, you know, Lin Feiyang's acting skills no longer needed to prove themselves in recent years, but Feng Ling still hoped that Lin Feiyang could go further.
It’s interesting to say.
"I Am Not Yu Huanshui" successfully saved Lin Feiyang and Yu Xiaoshu. One is an actor and the other is a screenwriter. It can be said that the two have a common experience, both of them were cheated by women.
Then, both of them experienced a low point, and it was a real low point. In fact, the outside world has always focused on Yu Xiaoshu. In recent years, they have always been talking about how Yu Xiaoshu rose from the mud. But look at Lin Feiyang, at least in Feng Ling's place, Lin Feiyang has had a harder time.
During those years, Lin Feiyang had to do more than just swallow his anger.
Now, everything is finally over.
Lin Feiyang not only shines in TV dramas, but also in movies. The "Lost on Journey" and "Lost in Thailand" starring him and Ding Ge set records.
But just when Feng Ling thought that Lin Feiyang and Ding Ge should continue to cooperate, the two of them actually separated.
This is probably Yu Xiaoshu's character.
No matter what, everything is not about the box office.
Just like what Yu Xiaoshu said in an interview before.
When I make a movie, I don’t care about the box office.
Many people think that Yu Xiaoshu is pretentious when he said this, but Feng Ling feels that what Yu Xiaoshu said is very true, because she believes that through her understanding over the past few years, Yu Xiaoshu must be such a person.
If Yu Xiaoshu was really only doing it for the money, then he could have made sequels to the IPs he created before.
Why do we need to innovate again and again?
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Feng Ling saw that "Dying to Survive" had become a hot topic.
"I cried. I have watched so many movies, but only Dying to Survive made me cry."
"I personally think this movie will be a hit, and a huge hit. It's so real, so real that I don't know what to say."
"This March, please be sure to watch Dying to Survive, because you may understand more after watching this movie."
"Listen to me, don't do anything this weekend, go watch Dying to Survive, it's really moving."
"To be honest, I'm not just moved. I feel a little depressed. Really depressed."
"Yes, it seems like the ending is good, but in fact, it is really idealistic."
"Alas, let's be honest, it's too difficult for ordinary people to live."
…
Looking at the screen full of messages, Feng Ling had to say that he was a little surprised.
She could still tell whether someone was a water army or not.
It’s obvious at first glance that these people on this social platform truly like “Dying to Survive”.
What’s also interesting about the movie “Dying to Survive” is that none of the main creators of this movie have popular artists, and some out-of-date artists have been used.
This is something that Baiqian Media often likes to do.
Everyone has gotten used to it. Yu Xiaoshu once talked about this during an interview.
"Some artists have very good acting skills and are dedicated to their work. They just lack an opportunity, and what I have to do is to give them this opportunity."
"In the past few years, the atmosphere in the entertainment industry is not normal. It seems that everyone has tacitly accepted that only traffic can be used. What's more important is that on the one hand, everyone is clamoring that traffic is dead, but on the other hand, one after another continues to use traffic artists. I can actually understand why, but I disdain to do it."
"I always believe that you should never cover the mouth of the audience, because the more you cover the mouth, the more the audience will rebel. More importantly, isn't the work for the audience to judge?"
…
In fact, there is one point that Yu Xiaoshu did not say, but Feng Ling and other people in the industry all know it.
That's the issue of pay.
A popular star may get paid tens of millions for a film, even for a cameo appearance. Let's not talk about the money first. Let's just talk about the travel expenses and arrangements. Don't you think it's troublesome?
What’s more important is that the worse their acting skills are, the more traffic they have, and the more they have nothing but traffic, the more they like to show off.
Take Earth for example, in many cases, it would be enough to use veteran actors, so why do we have to add a lot of traffic?
It's very simple. Just let the fans of this traffic go to publicize it. If something really happens, the fans of this traffic can also control and repost the comments.
that's all.
Capital has always been like this. Besides, what could be more useful than traffic and fans?
That is exactly the case.
In Yuanxing, a group of people are shouting that traffic is dead, but in fact, traffic is not dead, and capital is still using traffic artists.
Because it is useful, we use it.
When will it really end? When there is no benefit in using traffic artists anymore and the returns from using traffic artists are no longer sufficient.
But in the short term, it's difficult.
After all, fans nowadays are not picky about food.
Yu Xiaoshu has been very clear about these things for a long time, so he has rarely mentioned traffic in the past two years. In the current environment, what's the point of shouting a few words? ?
Judging from Yuanxing's current situation, how many veteran actors have no work to do, how many veteran actors can only play repetitive roles, and how many veteran actors need to play supporting roles for some garbage traffic artists.
Can you change things by shouting slogans?
So Yu Xiaoshu simply fought back with one work after another.
Apart from using his own Baiqian Media artists for the leading roles, he also casts veteran actors for the other roles. For Yu Xiaoshu, he needs to bring these veteran actors back into the public eye little by little.
In the past two years, Baiqian Media has basically followed this pattern for both TV series and movies, and then, not to mention its own use, more and more veteran actors have gained opportunities.
There is a spark that can start a prairie fire.
The same is true for "Dying to Survive". Lin Feiyang and Bao Nan are needless to say, but apart from them, the others are basically veteran actors. Some of them haven't acted for a long time, some can only act in dramas, and some are about to retire.
It’s not easy to get into the entertainment industry.
That's exactly the case. When Yu Xiaoshu invited them, they were all so excited that they didn't even care about the pay or even if it was free.
There is no way.
It's like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
There is no need to say more. It is not that "Dying to Survive" needs them. On the contrary, it is they who need "Dying to Survive".
As a result, the filming of "Dying to Survive" went exceptionally smoothly. Not only that, the acting skills of the cast even created some unique sparks.
'That's exactly the case. Yu Xiaoshu is quite confident about this movie.
As for today's first show, Yu Xiaoshu was actually there too. He came to the cinema quietly by himself, and then looked at the reactions of the people around him.
After all, it was a weekday, so there were not many people at Yu Xiaoshu's first show, only about 10 people. But when the movie ended, these 10 people had red eyes.
Yes.
Some people even burst into tears.
What is a good movie?
A good movie can make people feel extremely involved. Not only that, but the more adults watch the movie, the more they can empathize with it.
Again, who doesn’t get sick these days?
Every family has a few patients.
After watching the first show, Yu Xiaoshu called Liu Qianqian.
"Qianqian, it's time to start."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "It's up to you from now on."
Liu Qianqian, who was working at Baiqian Media, said excitedly, "Don't worry, Teacher Yu, I have already arranged it."
This time, Baiqian Media carried out some publicity in the early stage. In addition to these publicity, there were also some selections of film reviews about "Dying to Survive".
Obviously, Yu Xiaoshu is prepared to be down-to-earth in this promotion. As he said before, because of the realism and truth of the movie "Dying to Survive", he should just follow the right path.
This time, just take the high road.
Therefore, for the first show of "Dying to Survive" today, Baiqian Media booked several screenings.
On the one hand, these shows were reserved for employees of Baiqian Media.
That's right.
Baiqian Media has a day off today.
On the day when "Dying to Survive" was released, Baiqian Media took a day off to celebrate the release.
When many people learned the news at that time, they were completely stunned.
"Damn, can we play like this?"
"The treatment at Baiqian Media is too good. I heard that Baiqian Media has never had a 996 schedule, and all kinds of welfare benefits are quite good. Not only that, another point is that Baiqian Media is quite humane."
"Fuck, that's awesome. I want to work at Baiqian Media, too."
"My sister works at Baiqian Media. This company is really great. I plan to go there after I graduate from university."
…
In short, another aspect of Baiqian Media in the past two years is welfare and treatment.
Reject involution.
This is another protest of Baiqian Media against capital.
Because sometimes internal competition is actually harmful to the environment or the entire industry.
Just like the company where Feng Ling works.
At the beginning, the internal competition was not good, but the company's performance was not very good. Then, after it stopped being internally competitive, and the benefits and treatment caught up completely, now look.
The effect is surprisingly good.
What does this prove?
As long as the boss doesn't make a fuss, as long as the boss doesn't talk about so-called dreams with employees all the time, as long as the boss is not stingy and gives employees the salary and benefits they deserve, then the employees will definitely work hard.
But if the boss is always thinking about brainwashing employees, always thinking about deducting employees' wages, and even always thinking about making employees attend lectures, he doesn't feel bad at all to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on training a year, but he feels very bad to increase employees' wages by a few hundred dollars.
Tell me, who the hell is willing to work hard for a company like this?
It's ok now.
The boss of Feng Ling's company finally came to his senses, and Feng Ling no longer felt so depressed at work.
Every day, go to work on time and leave work on time.
She has enough time to catch up on the drama.
During the day, Feng Ling was slacking off at work while looking at the trending searches on the Internet.
If the first show of "Dying to Survive" in the morning might have had some internet trolls involved, then the situation of the several shows of "Dying to Survive" that day was completely different.
Can’t say there was no scolding.
But what people are criticizing is not the movie itself.
What everyone is cursing is this fucked up society.
Some people earn millions a day, some people evade taxes worth hundreds of millions, but some people can only earn tens of thousands of yuan in the whole year.
There is only one terrible disease in this world, and that is poverty.
Money is not everything, but without money is nothing.
There are always people who say that money can’t buy freedom, but many of us trade our freedom for money.
Ironic or not?
But that's the reality.
Fearing spoilers, Feng Ling didn't read many long film reviews. To Feng Ling, apart from the ones with capital letters "Chicken", the rest were basically just so-called outlines.
Nowadays, everyone, whether they are an individual or not, starts writing film reviews.
But most of what they write are not film reviews, but more like movie outlines, and basically spoil the movie.
That's exactly the case. Today, Feng Ling only checked the social media platforms, and she didn't even check out Douhu.
But Feng Ling was getting a little anxious just from scrolling through the social media platforms.
kindness.
I'm really anxious.
Because she can't wait to go to the cinema to watch "Dying to Survive".
Obviously, Feng Ling couldn't help it just by seeing so many people praising her.
As for her small group, it was directly blocked.
There is no way.
Some people in the small group have watched "Dying to Survive".
These people are actually giving away spoilers like crazy.
MMP.
It’s so abominable.
For this reason, Feng Ling directly blocked the group.
For Feng Ling, if he knew the ending of a movie in advance, or even some of the plot in advance, then the movie would be a bit unpleasant to watch.
So Feng Ling had a really hard time in the afternoon when she went to work.
Just keep on going.
Finally it was 5 o'clock.
It's time to get off work.
As soon as she got off work, Feng Ling rushed out of the company directly. Because the movie tickets she bought were just upstairs from the company, Feng Ling just went upstairs directly.
The show starts at 5:35.
If it were in the past, Feng Ling would definitely not buy such a ticket, after all, in the past the company would have to work overtime every day and no one knew when it would end.
But it's okay now.
The company leaves work on time.
So Feng Ling bought the 5:35 game, which could be said to be just right.
Good job.
After getting the ticket and going to the cinema, Feng Ling was shocked.
There are too many of them.
