Chapter 567: Stop Here (asking for monthly ticket)
Bao Nan was attending an awards ceremony, and after it ended she saw the news reports online.
She did not call Yu Xiaoshu. After all, it was not appropriate to ask Yu Xiaoshu about such things. After looking at the time, Bao Nan was afraid that Ma Ting was still on the roadshow, so she sent a message first and asked her to call her back.
Five minutes later, Ma Ting called: "Aunt, you're back?"
Bao Nan said: "Not yet, I will return to the capital tomorrow."
Ma Ting smiled and said, "I thought you were back. My roadshow is basically over. I don't need to promote anything anymore. I'm going to take a break first."
"Let me ask you, did you reject Yu Xiaoshu's invitation?"
Bao Nan asked directly.
"Ah? Auntie, how did you know?"
Ma Ting was a little surprised, but she said nonchalantly: "Aunt, don't you know that Yu Xiaoshu invited me to shoot a web drama? You have to know that I am no longer the same as before. How can I shoot a web drama again? I..."
"Who told you to reject Yu Xiaoshu? And how many times have I told you to call him Uncle Yu?"
Bao Nan interrupted Ma Ting angrily.
Ma Ting was speechless after listening to Bao Nan's words: "Aunt, how can I call Yu Xiaoshu uncle when he beat me? Besides, I always call him Teacher Yu. Don't worry, I don't have such a low EQ. I..."
"Don't talk about this for now. Have you called Yu Xiaoshu? Explain, there was a report online just now saying that you guys rejected Yu Xiaoshu's new drama..."
Bao Nan said quickly: "Call Yu Xiaoshu right now, explain everything, and then agree to let him participate in the play."
Ma Ting didn't want to do that: "Aunt, my mother has already called Yu Xiaoshu, and you said that my top priority is to have a qualified agent, so my mother plans to sign me with Dongyi Film and Television..."
Good job.
Bao Nan was almost laughing from anger.
Is this an iteration within an iteration???
She stopped calling Ma Ting. She hung up and called her elder sister.
Bao Nan's elder sister Bao Xue is also a person in the circle, but she has retired from the film industry in recent years and is currently at home taking care of her husband and children. At the same time, Bao Xue's husband is a businessman, and the two of them only have this one precious daughter, so naturally, whatever her daughter says is the truth.
Although Bao Xue has retired from the entertainment industry, she still has some connections in the circle and occasionally participates in some activities. Naturally, Bao Xue knows quite a few people.
Ma Ting was asked by Bao Xue to play Bao Nan in "The Wandering Earth". She is very grateful to her elder sister Bao Xue, as it was with her elder sister's help that she entered this industry.
But now it seems that this is just nonsense.
If Ma Ting signs a contract with Dongyi Film and Television, she will not have any chance with Yu Xiaoshu.
Bao Nan still understands Yu Xiaoshu. Yu Xiaoshu is now the kind of person who holds grudges extremely. He originally made Ma Ting famous, but Ma Ting not only refused to star in his web drama, but also signed a contract with Dongyi Film and Television.
This is no longer a slap in the face.
This is a falling out.
For this reason, Bao Nan no longer talked to Ma Ting. After all, it was definitely his sister who made the decision on this matter.
"Nannan, what's wrong?"
Bao Xue, who was at home, received a call from her sister and said calmly, "I just told Tingting today that we should have a meal together when you come back. We haven't even gotten together during the Chinese New Year."
"Sister, what do you think?"
Bao Nan got straight to the point and asked, "Why did Ma Ting sign with Dongyi???"
"The artist director at Dongyi is an old friend of mine, and the conditions she offered Tingting are very good. Dongyi is currently in need of artists of Tingting's age, so I think she is the perfect fit."
Bao Xue said with a smile: "I wanted to wait until you came back to tell you, what's wrong? Tingting couldn't help but tell you first?"
"Sister, Dongyi Film and Television has always been making empty promises when signing people. You know that they want to sign Tingting. It's obvious that they just want to sign Tingting because of her popularity."
Bao Nan advised: "The Wandering Earth is Tingting's debut film. What she needs now is to calm down. This film is Tingting's stepping stone to enter the entertainment industry, but we all know that the success of this film has nothing to do with Tingting..."
"Nannan, you are Tingting's aunt, how can you say that?"
Bao Xue was unhappy to hear this. After all, Ma Ting was her daughter and her pride. She even felt that her daughter’s participation in "The Wandering Earth" was not luck, but because her daughter had the ability.
Therefore, Bao Xue believes that her daughter also contributed to the success of "The Wandering Earth".
"Sister, I'm Tingting's aunt that's why I'm saying this. The box office of The Wandering Earth will continue to increase. 5 billion is out of reach for many movies, but for The Wandering Earth, it might be very quick. Think about it, The Wandering Earth has a sequel. What if Tingting is no longer needed by then?"
Bao Nan could only persuade her sister to be more rational at this time, and then she used Cao Rui as an example: "At the beginning, Cao Rui was very popular with the online drama "The Bad Kids", but what happened later? Cao Rui signed with Dongyi Film and Television, and then look at Cao Rui's current situation?"
"Haha, I know about Cao Rui. You are actually wrongly accusing Dongyi Film and Television. Cao Rui's mother is a bit mentally ill and has a strong control desire. She also doesn't cooperate with Dongyi. Otherwise, Cao Rui would have become famous a long time ago."
Bao Xue smiled noncommittally and said, "Alright, I have something else to do later, so let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk again when you return to the capital."
"Sister, no, listen to me, I..."
Bao Nan wanted to say something, but the other party had already hung up the phone.
well.
Bao Nan sighed.
She knew her sister quite well. Since her sister had already made up her mind, it would be difficult to persuade her to change her mind.
After thinking about it, Bao Nan called Yu Xiaoshu and said, "Xiaoshu, I'm sorry, I..."
"Hey, what does this have to do with you??"
It was natural that Yu Xiaoshu would not treat Bao Nan the same way as he treated other people, not to mention that this matter had nothing to do with Bao Nan.
Ma Ting’s own choice, or rather, Ma Ting’s mother’s choice.
On the set of "The Wandering Earth", Ma Ting's mother Bao Xue visited the crew. Yu Xiaoshu had met her and chatted with her.
How to say it? ?
This person is too smart. Being smart is a good thing, but being too smart is not a good thing.
Think about the years when Yu Xiaoshu was a good-for-nothing. Bao Xue didn't pay any attention to Yu Xiaoshu at all. Once when they met him, he was even very arrogant. In short, he was an extremely powerful person.
But it's easy to understand.
Bao Xue was once a beauty, a fairy, and the top star in costume dramas. Then she retired from the screen at the peak of her career and married a wealthy businessman. This is a bit like some stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan who only wanted to work hard to marry a wealthy man.
But how easy is it to marry a rich man? ?
Some of them directly became the mistresses of the rich men and were completely used as tools to have children. Some of them were cheated of money and sex by the rich men, and there are some who, not to mention, were completely cheated even more miserably.
But it is not the case with Bao Xue. She is lucky that the man she found is neither a rich man as old as her father nor an ugly man with bad character. On the contrary, Bao Xue's husband is a very good person and can be regarded as a business genius among the younger generation.
In short, Bao Xue has always considered herself a winner in life. Of course, she is indeed a winner.
If it weren't for Bao Nan's sake, Yu Xiaoshu really wouldn't want to pay attention to such a person.
It's ok now.
Bao Nan has already given all his face.
Everyone parted ways amicably.
So Yu Xiaoshu was really not angry. He smiled and said, "When you come back, we can talk again when we meet."
Bao Nan said, "Okay, Xiaoshu, if there is a role that suits me, please tell me."
"OK."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded slightly.
Speaking of which, Bao Nan could actually make a cameo appearance in this drama.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiaoshu continued to sort out the situation.
Now that the news has been revealed, it is time to conduct the normal follow-up interviews.
However, there was no need for the Film News to interview him. Instead, Yu Xiaoshu was interviewed by Zhong Fei, the editor-in-chief of See Movies magazine.
The huge success of the science fiction movie "The Wandering Earth" can be said to have surprised everyone.
It can’t be said that Zhong Fei had no expectations for this movie. After watching it, he thought it would be a hit. Zhong Fei even specifically stated when "The Wandering Earth" was released that this movie would definitely create a miracle.
But there are many kinds of miracles.
In Zhong Fei's opinion, it is a miracle that "The Wandering Earth" can earn 2 billion.
What was unexpected was that this movie actually went straight to number one.
And it has currently firmly held the number one position in the history of Chinese cinema.
Unique.
If "The Wandering Earth" can really reach a box office of 6 billion, then it will be impossible for any other movie to surpass this movie in at least the next ten years.
6 billion.
What a number that is.
Of course, Zhong Fei does not think that "The Wandering Earth" can exceed 6 billion. After all, it is not extremely difficult. What is more crucial is that there are three or four movies released on Valentine's Day this year, and the current publicity is basically in full swing.
With the surge of new films, several movies have already ended their roadshows ahead of schedule, such as "Number One Under Heaven", "My Fair Husband", and the anti-corruption film.
Currently, there are only three films on the road show, "I Want to Go Far Away with You", "After Many Years, You Are Still the One I Love the Most", and "Let's Get Married This Valentine's Day".
Did you find a common point?
That is, the name of this movie is getting longer and longer.
The actors in all three movies are well-known actors and have become quite popular recently.
Take "I Want to Go Far Away with You" for example. The main theme of this movie is literary and fresh, and the promotional song "Go Far Away" is even more literary. This song is sung by folk singer Qi Tian.
Qi Tian is a rare folk singer in the music scene today. He never participates in any variety shows, any commercial performances, and he doesn't even hold concerts.
A typical reclusive master.
That’s not all, most of the time you can’t find Qi Tian.
The most recent interview of Qi Tian was on "Tonight's Show" two years ago. At that time, the host asked a question, which was, Qi Tian, you don't participate in anything, how do you make money? ?
At that time, Qi Tian said one sentence, which was: "What do I need so much money for?"
Although this may sound pretentious, it is actually quite normal for Qi Tian to say this.
After all, if he really wants to make money, he can just come out and participate in an event, or even record a variety show.
It is precisely because they have always been called hidden masters, and because they think being a fan of Qi Tian is high-class, that many of Qi Tian’s fans even look down on other fans. They think other fans are scum.
Anyway, this is the norm in the industry.
There is also a chain of contempt for star chasing.
The most important thing is that Qi Tian’s fans have strong cohesion and stickiness. Many times when Qi Tian releases an album, his fans can become a hot topic.
Of course, compared with other niche folk songs, Qi Tian’s most amazing thing is that he is very popular among the public, perhaps because of the deification. In short, he is the only folk singer who has become popular, unique.
Of course, Qi Tian does not admit that he is a folk singer, he says he is a rock singer.
In short, no matter what, Qi Tian’s song "Go Far Away" received a lot of likes as soon as it was released.
What’s more important is that this song is Qi Tian’s new song after two years, so of course the fans are excited.
"Thanks to Director Bai Yang, he actually invited Qi Tian to sing the promotional song."
"Just for this song alone I'm going to watch this movie."
"Alas, Brother Tian's song really expressed my feelings. To be honest, I really want to go to faraway places regardless of everything."
"Don't be so hypocritical. Do you have the money? Do you have the time? Have you paid off your mortgage?? Have you paid off your car loan? Do you have enough money for your children's tuition?"
"Upstairs, please don't ruin the atmosphere so easily. Life is already so difficult, can't we just fantasize a little?"
…
Many people commented and liked the post in the comment section, and many people even felt that they should go watch the movie "I Want to Go Far Away with You" while listening to the song.
This is the power of promotional songs.
A good promotional song can sometimes offset millions of dollars in advertising costs.
This "I Want to Go Far Away with You" is directed by director Bai Yang. It is a romance film. The actors are played by two relatively famous actors recently. This is the second time this pair of actors have teamed up, and they have been hyping up their CP.
All in all, everyone is really optimistic about this movie.
In addition, the other two dramas "You Are the One I Love Most After Many Years" and "Let's Get Married This Valentine's Day" also showed their magical powers.
Pre-sales of the three movies have already started, and the three new films account for 50% of the total screenings, which almost squeezes out most of the Lunar New Year films. There are also several other less famous movies.
In short, everyone thinks that "The Wandering Earth" may have lost its staying power.
