Chapter 565 I slap myself in the face (asking for monthly tickets)
Currently, four artists have been confirmed for "The Beginning".
Among them, the male lead Xiao Heyun is played by Yan Minglai.
The master and apprentice duo Zhang Cheng and Jiang Feng are played by Li Feng and Hu Kanglai.
Wang Xingde and Tao Yinghong are played by Zhou Jun and Huang Milai respectively.
These four people are all artists of Xiaoma Entertainment.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu also said that he might give a few more spots to Xiaoma Entertainment. Since Zou Feng refused, Yu Xiaoshu thought that the role of Li Shiqing could be given to someone from Xiaoma Entertainment.
But Judy refused.
Obviously, Judy was confident in the script of "The Beginning", but she did not have confidence in Yu Xiaoshu's directing.
What’s more important is that Judy became even less confident after talking with Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu is a genius, of course Judy knows this.
But everyone has his own specialty. Yu Xiaoshu is of course a genius in screenwriting, but he is a newcomer in directing. Newcomers are not scary, but the scary thing is that who dares to give suggestions easily to newcomers like Yu Xiaoshu???
That's scary.
In the crew, Yu Xiaoshu is the absolute controller. He is the screenwriter, he is the director, and most importantly, he is the boss.
Who dares to give advice easily?
More importantly, how could a genius like Yu Xiaoshu easily listen to other people's opinions? ? ?
So Judy was gambling, he was gambling on the performance of "The Beginning", but he couldn't refuse to let Yan Mingxing participate in "The Beginning".
First of all, it was Yu Xiaoshu who took the initiative to invite him. Taking a step back, even if the web drama "The Beginning" really flopped, it would not matter. With Yu Xiaoshu's talent, he believed that he would make it up to Yan Ming in the future.
But Judy also needs to be responsible for other artists of Xiaoma Entertainment.
Originally, if "The Beginning" was directed by other directors from Baiqian Media, then Judy could even include all the artists from Xiaoma Entertainment.
but.
Forget it.
This is also good.
If it succeeds, then the bet is successful. If it fails, it’s okay as long as it is within an acceptable range.
Judy felt she had won.
On the other side, Song Yi told Zou Feng about the matter. Zou Feng was a little confused: "Brother Yi, didn't you say that Teacher Yu's work would definitely be popular? Why did you reject it this time?"
"Xiao Feng, you don't understand. If it was a movie, I wouldn't promote it for you. Even if it was a TV series, I wouldn't promote it. But this is a web series. More importantly, Yu Xiaoshu is not very good at web series."
Song Yi shook his head slightly and said, "You can't make any mistakes now. I just negotiated two endorsements for you. We can't make any mistakes at this time. Online dramas are originally a little worse."
Zou Feng said nothing more.
Some artists can basically control which ones to accept and which ones not to accept, but some artists are also in a weak position, not to mention Zou Feng.
After all, she didn't have much say, and her previous popularity was actually all thanks to Song Yi.
Child stars like Zou Feng basically listen to their agents in everything.
This has one advantage, which is that agents can often determine some development directions for them. Under such circumstances, the development of many child stars will often be smoother.
But this also has a major disadvantage, which is that if the agent makes a wrong judgment, the artist often has no autonomy.
Well, although Zou Feng felt that Song Yi’s choice seemed wrong, she didn’t say anything.
After all, she had no say.
On the other side, Yu Xiaoshu asked Xiang Fei to come out.
"Teacher Yu, congratulations. According to the current situation, The Wandering Earth will probably break 4 billion next week."
Xiang Fei congratulated Yu Xiaoshu as soon as he saw him.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "There's no need to exchange polite words between us. Sit down."
Xiang Fei chuckled, "Teacher Yu, I'm really not being polite. You don't know that people in the industry are really going crazy right now. And as far as I know, in just a few days, major film and television companies have already started preparing to buy science fiction scripts. It seems that everyone is rushing to science fiction."
"That's also why I came to see you today."
Yu Xiaoshu said, "The popularity of The Wandering Earth has cooled down a bit, and the box office will last for about a week. By then, it should be steadily rising. You can write a summary for your science fiction special."
"Well, Mr. Yu, you go ahead."
Xiang Fei is a smart man. When he heard Yu Xiaoshu say this, he knew that there must be something he needed to do.
During this period, with the huge box office success of "The Wandering Earth", Xiang Fei can be said to have gained enough status in the Film Newspaper, as well as bonuses, because he alone increased the sales of the Film Newspaper by 30% by opening up a science fiction special topic.
Thirty percent, that’s enough to give out bonuses.
Even the editor-in-chief of the Film News told Xiang Fei that he didn't need to do anything else and just had to focus on the science fiction special.
But now, Xiang Fei heard Yu Xiaoshu say that the science fiction special topic could be concluded.
If this is the case, then what should we do next???
Although he was a little anxious, Xiang Fei didn't say anything.
He believed that since Yu Xiaoshu asked him to come out, he must have some instructions for him.
Just do it yourself.
After all, Xiang Fei was able to save money in the past two years, and it was all thanks to Yu Xiaoshu's support.
Since he was young, Xiang Fei knew a truth, that is, in this life, if you cannot achieve success on your own, then you should look for a noble person. If you find one, then you don’t need to do anything but hold on to the noble person’s thigh.
If a noble person tells you to go east, then you go east. If a noble person tells you to go west, then you go west.
In short, in one sentence, you must hold on to the thighs of noble people no matter what.
That’s what Xiang Fei did.
He was initially a fan hater of Yu Xiaoshu, or even a fan hater of "Let the Bullets Fly". He thought that this movie would definitely flop, and even that this movie would definitely not be a good one.
As a result, he never expected that he would be invited to participate in "Let the Bullets Fly" as a black fan, and after watching this movie, Xiang Fei had a deep understanding of Yu Xiaoshu.
Then, naturally, Xiang Fei seized this opportunity.
He thanked Yu Xiaoshu and became a die-hard fan of Yu Xiaoshu. Xiang Fei even regarded Yu Xiaoshu as his benefactor.
Of course, he is indeed a noble person.
kindness.
In short, what Xiang Fei is doing now is to hold Yu Xiaoshu's thighs tightly.
"Lower the temperature???"
Xiang Fei was stunned when he heard Yu Xiaoshu's words: "Teacher Yu, what do you mean?"
"When Lost on Journey created a miracle, many people followed suit. You saw the result. Basically, everyone was annihilated. Facts have proved that blindly following the trend is useless."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Xiang Fei, "You can focus on cooling down The Wandering Earth, and then make this into an exclusive interview, which can also be regarded as a conclusion to your science fiction special. Next, you can open up a new special."
Xiang Fei listened to Yu Xiaoshu's words and began to take notes one by one: "Okay, Teacher Yu, please continue."
"This is 'infinite flow'. Currently, infinite flow is only found in online literature. There are relatively few movies and TV series about infinite flow. In this regard, you can do more research and provide scientific information for everyone. Create a special section first."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Xiang Fei, "There is no need to say more about other aspects for now. Your first special topic can be to put an end to "The Wandering Earth". Of course, it is not just "The Wandering Earth", but also "The Rescue". After all, these two are the only two science fiction movies in this year's Lunar New Year period. You can write in detail about the advantages and disadvantages of the two movies, the high and low box office, what should be done in the future, etc. I don't need to say more to you about this aspect. Then the second special topic can be to write about the popular science of infinite flow themes, because I will be shooting a web drama next, and I will be directing it myself..."
After listening to Yu Xiaoshu say this, Xiang Fei understood.
This is about being a director.
"Okay, Mr. Yu, I'll write it when I get back and it will be published this week."
Xiang Fei said hurriedly.
Yu Xiaoshu said, "No hurry. Besides, there is another thing you need to do. Do this first. There is no hurry for this special topic."
Xiang Fei said: "Teacher Yu, you go ahead."
"Take a look at this manuscript first."
Yu Xiaoshu said as he handed a manuscript to Xiang Fei.
Breaking news.
Many times, when agents want to hype something up, they will ask entertainment editors they trust to break the news. This way, the agency will not be affected in any way.
In this regard, Yu Xiaoshu has played too much.
He is naturally good at this one.
Obviously, this time, he plans to reveal "The Beginning" first.
As long as the news is leaked, there will be artists coming to you afterwards.
After reading the manuscript, Xiang Fei was a little confused: "Teacher Yu, is it really necessary to write it like this???"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "That's right, write it like this. You are the only one, so you must get it out as soon as possible."
This time, Yu Xiaoshu was ready to slap himself in the face.
Although Xiang Fei didn't understand why Yu Xiaoshu did this, he followed the principle of obedience. Since the noble man asked him to do so, he just did it honestly.
After returning to the newspaper office, Xiang Fei first talked to the editor-in-chief.
"What?? You want to cancel the science fiction special?"
The editor-in-chief of the Film Newspaper was somewhat puzzled: "Xiao Xiang, the science fiction section is very popular right now, and many people who buy our Film Newspaper buy it just for this science fiction section. If you cancel it now, it won't be..."
"Editor-in-chief, actually the traffic of science fiction special issues has dropped now. After all, other film newspapers have also caught up. There is no need for us to waste time with them at this time. We should withdraw in time."
Xiang Fei smiled and said, "What's more, Teacher Yu has already found the next topic for me."
Xiang Fei then recounted what he had discussed with Yu Xiaoshu, and then said, "I think this is also an opportunity for us."
The editor-in-chief hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."
"Okay."
Xiang Fei said happily.
He believed in Yu Xiaoshu's judgment, because after several years of contact, Xiang Fei felt that Yu Xiaoshu was forward-looking when it came to some things. Not only was he forward-looking, he was even leading the trend most of the time.
For this reason, after Xiang Fei returned to his seat, he began to look up the information bit by bit.
As for the Internet, the current Spring Festival box office is still dominated by "The Wandering Earth".
Obviously, the miracle of "The Wandering Earth" continues.
Xiang Fei previously thought that based on the situation, "The Wandering Earth" might be able to successfully break 4 billion next week.
But he was still conservative.
For "The Wandering Earth", the first week after the Chinese New Year is still quite strong.
First of all, on the first working day, February 5th, the single-day box office reached 330 million.
Then on February 6, the single-day box office fell by 300 million to 260 million.
On February 7, the box office fell further, reaching 230 million.
However, on the day of rest, February 8, the single-day box office of "The Wandering Earth" once again exceeded 300 million.
In this way, "The Wandering Earth" took only 11 days to successfully break through 4 billion in total box office.
The miracles continue.
4 billion.
China reached 4 billion at the fastest speed.
Other media have already started reporting on the incident.
Taking "The Wandering Earth" as an example, its box office revenue may exceed 5 billion, so its chances are quite high.
Of course, for 6 billion, everyone thinks that is impossible.
After all, on a rest day, Saturday can be said to be almost the final sprint.
The potential seems to have been exhausted.
As a result, the single-day box office on Sunday was only 200 million.
But even so, "The Wandering Earth" still makes everyone envious, jealous and hateful, because it is completely beyond catching up. Not only can it not catch up, it is completely not on the same level.
After the rest day, "The Wandering Earth" ushered in a rebound, but it was only the last rebound.
As a result, the box office fell to 150 million on Monday.
But how to explain it? ?
This is already pretty awesome.
Because these other movies have not yet broken the 100 million mark, even Guo Han's "One Life" barely broke the 100 million mark on Saturday, and this is why a lot of people are promoting it crazily.
In short, there is only one top movie in the entire Lunar New Year period, and that is "The Wandering Earth".
Of course, the promotion for the Lunar New Year holiday has not ended.
As for the movie "The First Under Heaven", it withdrew from the competition of the Lunar New Year period early, but as for "One World", this movie did not withdraw from the Lunar New Year period. Although the daily box office is not so exaggerated, it is still tens of millions.
It can be said that at present, "Wandering First" is the leader, and "One Life" is the only one of its kind, while the latter ones are "Blind Date" and "One Life of Rescue".
It’s better not to mention the other ones.
Next is Valentine's Day on February 14th. Every year on Valentine's Day, there will be new movies released, and they are usually romance movies.
This also gives some urgency to the four movies "The Wandering Earth", "One Life", "Blind Date" and "The Rescue".
That means you have to make some money before the new movie is released.
February 12th is the last day.
After all, this day is the Lantern Festival.
