Chapter 569: Force me to use a large killing weapon (asking for monthly votes)
This Lantern Festival cannot be said to be a roadshow, but rather a live broadcast. The director, screenwriter, and several leading actors of "The Wandering Earth" participated together in a live broadcast event about "The Wandering Earth" on Xiaoma Video.
In short, it does have a bit of the joyful meaning of the Lantern Festival.
This live broadcast is a variety show produced by Xiaoma Video called "Talk About That Things". There are a total of 6 hosts, and the combination of these 6 people is quite good. It is basically regarded as the ace variety show of Xiaoma Video.
Logically speaking, this can basically be regarded as the last roadshow for the one-man cast of "The Wandering Earth".
Everyone now knows that it is only a matter of time before "The Wandering Earth" breaks 5 billion, but no one knows exactly when it will break 5 billion.
But one thing is that the Lantern Festival is the last chance to boost the box office.
There is an old saying in China that it is not officially started until fifteen or eleven years have passed.
Many times, everyone has a sense of ritual.
For example, Valentine's Day is coming soon. Many movies are promoting Valentine's Day. Go watch a movie with your lover.
For the Lantern Festival, the main promotion of the movie is to watch a movie to get a good start for the new year.
Just like this is the current main focus of "The Wandering Earth".
Basically, it means that the new year is about to officially begin, and if you don’t go to watch "The Wandering Earth" you will get old.
In short, everyone knows that "The Wandering Earth" is its last gasp, so no matter what, we should try our best to give it another try.
So, when Yu Xiaoshu heard that Ma Ting suddenly refused to do the live broadcast tonight, he was a little surprised: "What's going on???"
Yang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "She said that there was an event over there and she couldn't leave, so she could only apologize to us."
"OK."
Yu Xiaoshu said nothing more. After all, Yu Xiaoshu was ready to ban Ma Ting, so what was the problem whether he came or not? ? ?
But in the afternoon, when he was heading to Xiaoma Entertainment to participate in the recording, Yang Fei said angrily: "Teacher Yu, please take a look at this news."
"oh???"
Yu Xiaoshu frowned: "What's wrong?"
At this time, Yang Fei handed over a mobile phone and said, "Look."
"Ma Ting signed with Dongyi Films and held a signing ceremony in Beijing with many stars in attendance."
This is a news headline.
I have to say that Dongyi Film and Television really values Ma Ting and has invested a lot of money in her.
This is just a signing ceremony, but it looks like the top stars of Dongyi Film and Television have all gone, and they are currently walking the red carpet.
What’s even more interesting is that the live broadcast time is 6 pm.
The live broadcast time of Xiaoma Entertainment is 8 pm.
Good job.
Yu Xiaoshu would never believe that this pinch was not intentional.
"Okay, no need to be angry."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly: "Since they want to seize the momentum, or to say, want to pick peaches, then it depends on whether they have the ability to do so."
Are you kidding??
"The Wandering Earth" is completely different from any other movie. Every actor in this movie is indispensable, but at the same time, every actor in it is replaceable.
That's right.
The good thing about this movie is its script, its completeness, the completeness of the plot, and the tension of the plot.
Every actor adds a touch of embellishment to the film.
So Yu Xiaoshu has said many times that the success of "The Wandering Earth" is the success of the team, and the success of this movie is inseparable from the concerted efforts of everyone in front of and behind the scenes.
Ma Ting plays Han Duoduo, a key character in the play, and can even be considered the heroine, but there are several scenes that rely entirely on her to bring about touching moments, and she can be the driving force.
For example, Han Ziang told Han Duoduo about the former Shanghai, which is the big city in the minds of countless people. He said that although he had no money, he was still satisfied with a bowl of noodles made by his wife, even if it was very salty.
Han Ziang's memories of Han Duoduo before his death were all quite touching.
But the touching point is not in the actor Han Duoduo, but in the character, Han Ziang.
We can tell from the fact that Zhang Bin, who plays Han Ziang, has returned to a second spring with "The Wandering Earth".
An old actor is, after all, an old actor.
Your grandpa is still your grandpa after all.
But even Han Ziang has never been so arrogant? ?
Let alone Han Ziang, even Li Jinran is equally hardworking and has not missed any roadshows of "The Wandering Earth" from its preview to now.
In his words, it was Teacher Yu who gave him the opportunity to be reborn, and "The Wandering Earth" was a testimony to his life. He did nothing for the next month but promoted the movie.
kindness.
Li Jinran did a pretty good job.
Then there is Wang Zhong. Although Wang Zhong rejected the movie "The Beginning", he can also be said to be conscientious in roadshows.
This is the basic quality of an artist.
But Ma Ting is not like that. She had been complaining during the roadshow, but she is rich after all. Even the room she stayed in was not arranged by the hotel, but a luxurious room arranged for her by her mother.
After all, everyone was concerned about the relationships behind Ma Ting. Bao Nan had visited the set once, and everyone knew that Ma Ting was Bao Nan's niece. Plus with the relationship with Yu Xiaoshu, many people acquiesced.
But it's different now.
In the eyes of many people, Ma Ting's behavior was a betrayal.
Everybody was on a roadshow in unity, but you, Ma Ting, simply deserted and went to record other programs by yourself. It would have been fine, but you actually announced on this very day that you had signed a contract with Dongyi Film and Television.
Not only that, some online editorials attributed the box office success of "The Wandering Earth" to Ma Ting.
None of them are fools.
If this isn’t picking peaches, then what is this for???
Even the publicity director of "The Wandering Earth" called Yu Xiaoshu to report the situation.
If the live broadcast popularity of "The Wandering Earth" was snatched away by Ma Ting today, then, not to mention the issue of picking peaches, this itself would be detrimental to the promotion of "The Wandering Earth".
After all, today is the Lantern Festival, and everyone wants to take advantage of this wave of popularity to boost the box office of "The Wandering Earth".
"It's okay, no need to rush."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly and smiled, "Ma Ting can't take away this popularity. Not to mention Ma Ting, even Dongyi Film and Television doesn't have this opportunity."
Are you kidding??
Do you really think that you can invite a bunch of stars and then steal the popularity of "The Wandering Earth"? ?
Sometimes, popularity is not determined by the star, but by the content, or more precisely, by having something that can spread quickly.
It seems that this time the live broadcast of "The Wandering Earth" will bring out its ultimate killer.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu wanted to wait until "The Wandering Earth" broke 5 billion before releasing the big killer, but now it seems that he has to release it earlier.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn’t matter if you release it early or late.
Yu Xiaoshu called Liu Qianqian first.
To do this well, we will inevitably need the help of a big navy.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Xiaoshu and his group arrived at Xiaoma Entertainment first.
Obviously, Xiaoma Entertainment attaches great importance to the live broadcast of "Let's Talk About That Stuff". Not only did the bigwigs of Xiaoma Video show up, but the CEO of Xiaoma Entertainment also showed up.
It is obvious that everyone attaches great importance to "The Wandering Earth".
What’s more crucial is that Xiaoma Entertainment is the only company that invested in “The Wandering Earth”. At the beginning, Zhang Wen really had no intention of investing, because Xiaoma Entertainment’s investment in the past two years was almost wasted.
But Judy changed Zhang Wen's mind.
Judy had read the script of "The Wandering Earth" before, but there were no suitable artists under his company. However, Judy still believed that "The Wandering Earth" would not fail at the box office.
For this reason, Judy tried hard to persuade Zhang Wen.
When no one is planning to invest, Xiaoma Entertainment should invest, because only in this way can it be tied together with Baiqian Media.
The honeymoon period between MiLi Video and Baiqian Media has ended. At this time, if Xiaoma Entertainment does not consider other things, it should also consider its subsidiary Xiaoma Video.
There is nothing wrong with this.
But Zhang Wen still has some distrust about "The Wandering Earth". He thinks that even if it doesn't flop, it doesn't seem very reliable to become a big hit.
To this end, Zhang Wen finally decided to invest 20 million after a meeting.
kindness.
The 20 million investment has now become a huge profit for Xiaoma Entertainment, but Zhang Wen still regrets it.
Yes, he really regretted it. In his opinion, they could have invested another 20 million in Xiaoma Entertainment, but in the end they only invested 20 million because they were not optimistic about the future.
How much less money will this make?
That's exactly the case. Zhang Wen told Yu Xiaoshu at the celebration party for "The Wandering Earth" last time that Xiaoma Entertainment would invest as much as needed for "The Wandering Earth 2" next time.
This is different from Dongyi Film and Television.
As mentioned before, Yu Xiaoshu did not want to eat alone in the entertainment industry. Moreover, eating alone often means not making a lot of money. It is impossible to have great development in the entertainment industry if you eat alone.
Zhang Wen only stayed for about ten minutes. He just chatted with Yu Xiaoshu and said a few words. He also introduced the current CEO of Xiaoma Video, Wu Donglei, who was poached from MiLi Video.
How to say it? ?
Because Xiaoma Video has not been developing smoothly, the CEO has been replaced again and again. Xiaoma Entertainment even feels that if it continues like this, it may really be acquired.
In the past few years, video websites have been on a downward trend, and the money spent by various video websites has almost reached a bottleneck, and many people can no longer afford it.
This year, Kunlang Video, which has always boasted of never raising prices, was the first to raise prices, followed by Xingyao Video, which has also begun to lay off employees. Meanwhile, MiLi Video is doing better because of its cost-cutting in the past two years.
As for Xiaoma Video, due to the industry downturn in the past two years, it has already laid off a quarter of its employees. The remaining people are actually very nervous, not knowing when they will have an opportunity.
This time, Xiaoma Video poached Wu Donglei to see if it could replicate the success of MiLi Video.
At MiLi Video, Wu Donglei is mainly responsible for self-produced dramas, such as variety shows, web dramas, and online movies. In short, Wu Donglei has brought a lot of traffic to MiLi Video.
However, due to some irreconcilable conflicts with Chen Mi, Wu Donglei eventually resigned, and was later poached by Zhang Wen.
At Xiaoma Video, Zhang Wen gave Wu Donglei absolute authority.
kindness.
There is no official announcement yet, but it will be officially announced in two days.
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll leave first."
Zhang Wen came here today mainly to chat with Yu Xiaoshu and introduce Wu Donglei by the way.
Wu Donglei and Yu Xiaoshu had never met before when they were on MiLi Video. Firstly, Wu Donglei was mainly responsible for self-produced dramas, and secondly, Chen Mi was placing all his bets on Yu Xiaoshu, and he was personally in charge of the online drama department.
For this reason, the two can be said to have no communication at all.
"Teacher Yu, I've always wanted to talk to you, but I never had the chance. Today I finally found the chance."
Wu Donglei spoke politely to Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Wu. Mr. Chen wanted to introduce you to me last time during the MiLi video chat, but it was not a coincidence that time."
Wu Donglei also smiled bitterly: "My son's school held a parents' meeting that day, so..."
Yu Xiaoshu had heard Chen Mi say this. Wu Donglei had only this one precious son, who was only in the third grade, so Wu Donglei doted on his son. No matter how big the matter was, as long as his son was involved, everything else had to take a back seat.
This is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.
When people reach middle age, they often have to do things against their will. No matter whether you are an ordinary person, middle class, or one of the top people, in fact, when you are in the world, you often have no choice.
There is really no way around this.
But since Wu Donglei had a son, he has never missed any moment of his son's growth. In his own words, a child may only need his parents for a few years. When the child is over 14 years old, even if you want to be with him, he may not need you yet.
This year, Wu Donglei mainly wanted to talk to Yu Xiaoshu about the online drama.
At present, Wu Donglei already knows about the online drama "The Beginning", and Judy also let him read the script of "The Beginning". Wu Donglei feels there is no problem.
While many people don’t know about the script yet, Wu Donglei plans to take advantage of it.
After all, let's be honest, since Yu Xiaoshu has been leaking information, it is obvious that he also wants to cooperate with me.
The two sides met today and hit it off immediately.
As for the price? ?
Then it’s not for the two bosses to talk about it, just let their subordinates do it.
Wu Donglei made it very clear that money is not a problem and he is not short of money now.
That's right.
After all, after Zhang Wen recruited Wu Donglei, he gave him all the power, basically letting him spend money and bring traffic to Xiaoma Video.
While Yu Xiaoshu and Wu Donglei were chatting, "Let's Talk About That" was basically ready.
Although it is a live broadcast, a rehearsal is still very necessary.
Everyone has already read the script in advance, and then we discussed it first to see if there were any objections to the script.
Among them, the host, director, screenwriter and producer of "Let's Talk About That" are all there.
The chief director first asked Yu Xiaoshu politely: "Teacher Yu, do you have any opinions on the live broadcast session???"
After all, the big boss of this live broadcast is Yu Xiaoshu.
"Well, I don't have any opinions, but I do have a suggestion."
Yu Xiaoshu suddenly said.
