Chapter 576 I'm Really Not Confident
February ended quietly.
Since Valentine's Day on February 14, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" has presented a rather strange situation. As I said before, due to the contrast with its peers, the daily box office of "The Wandering Earth" has remained at around 30 million in the subsequent period.
During the weekend, "The Wandering Earth" managed to reach 60 million.
In other words, in just one week, "The Wandering Earth" can earn nearly 300 million yuan.
In the half month since Valentine's Day, "The Wandering Earth" has earned nearly 700 million yuan at the box office.
Currently, "The Wandering Earth" has grossed more than 5.8 billion yuan at the box office, and is less than 300 million yuan away from 6 billion yuan. Everyone predicts that it will only take March to reach 6 billion yuan.
Breaking 6 billion is a foregone conclusion, now it’s just a matter of seeing when the 6 billion can be broken in March.
Currently, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" is breaking records every day.
A movie that breaks 6 billion is almost about to be born in the history of Chinese cinema, and from the current perspective, this movie is basically unprecedented and will never be surpassed.
Who would have thought???
Such a science fiction film that was not very promising at the beginning was able to achieve such a miracle.
The media have already written their articles about this. They are just waiting for the moment when "The Wandering Earth" breaks 6 billion, and then they will report it.
Of course, at the moment, many people are actually planning to watch it again, if for no other reason than hoping that the movie can break 6 billion as soon as possible.
Everyone hopes for a miracle.
At the same time, everyone hopes that a miracle can happen as soon as possible.
At the same time, on March 1st, the web drama "The Beginning" officially started filming.
There were quite a few reporters at the scene.
As the heroine, Yang Xuecai was a little timid, but Yan Ming on the side didn't care much. He had seen such scenes many times, but it was the first time for Yang Xuecai.
Before this, she had never been under such a focused spotlight.
Over the past half month, Yang Xuecai felt like he was dreaming.
Suddenly, she was the leading lady in “The Beginning.”
Yang Xuecai signed with Baiqian Media without any hesitation.
After all, no matter how Buddhist she is, it is impossible for her not to want to be famous. As the saying goes, how many actors don’t want to be famous? ? ?
In the entire class, Yang Xuecai suddenly became the focus from being an ordinary person.
Even in the dormitory, Zhao Qingqing asked Yang Xuecai whether she had any relationship with Yu Xiaoshu.
Because it just doesn’t make sense at all.
If Yang Xuecai had no relationship with Yu Xiaoshu, how could he let Yang Xuecai be the heroine? ?
How to say it???
When you are used to taking shortcuts, you will often feel that everyone relies on connections, and you don’t believe that there is a rule in this world that success can be achieved through hard work.
Because of this, Yang Xuecai had a hard time at school for the past half month.
First of all, she is not good at this kind of communication. She is not a fool. Many times, Yang Xuecai can even feel the changes in the attitudes of people around her quite obviously, but she just doesn't say it out loud.
Just like before, Yang Xuecai was the most unknown and the most unsuccessful one in the dormitory. Because of this, she was particularly ridiculed and paid attention to at the same time.
Ding Minxia takes care of Yang Xuecai not just because she is such a good person, she just wants to show that she is a good sister.
The more crucial thing is that Yang Xuecai is a weak person, not as good as Ding Minxia. In such a situation, Ding Minxia certainly doesn't mind being a good person.
But when Yang Xuecai became stronger than her, everything became different.
Simply put, Ding Minxia's jealousy had already begun to take effect, and she had even mocked Yang Xuecai several times in the dormitory, both openly and covertly.
Zhao Qingqing is almost the same.
In short, because Yang Xuecai was equally successful, everyone’s first reaction was not to celebrate for Yang Xuecai, but to wonder why Yang Xuecai succeeded?
This is what school is like, what do you think it will be like in the entertainment industry?
Because of this, Yang Xuecai has basically decided that he will rent a house after finishing filming "The Beginning", and Baiqian Media has already found a dormitory for Yang Xuecai.
Yes.
Yang Xuecai mustered up the courage to talk to Yu Xiaoshu, just to see if Baiqian Media still needed people and whether he could sign with Baiqian Media.
Of course Yu Xiaoshu agreed to this.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu was thinking about signing Yang Xuecai, but Yang Xuecai didn't say anything. During the filming of "Beginning", Yu Xiaoshu was also ready to sign Yang Xuecai.
The reason is very simple. For example, Baiqian Media currently does not have any artist of Yang Xuecai's age.
Baiqian Media has extremely strict control over its artists. More importantly, Yu Xiaoshu knows that the current Baiqian Media is not suitable for expansion. In such a situation, Baiqian Media’s artists should be selected and few in number.
This is exactly what Yu Xiaoshu thought.
Now.
Yang Xuecai can be signed.
Let's first look at Yang Xuecai's performance in the web drama "The Beginning". If she can stand out among the actors, then we will increase her training. If Yang Xuecai is a little worse, then let her gain experience in other dramas.
For an actor, many times we are not afraid of your poor acting skills, but we are afraid that you are unwilling to learn.
As long as you are willing to learn, study hard, and even be able to let go of your so-called idol baggage or other baggage, it will definitely not work if an actor keeps being pretentious.
Yu Xiaoshu felt that he had no problem training actors.
His years of study were not wasted.
"Teacher Yu, this "Beginning" is an infinite flow, is it science fiction???"
"Teacher Yu, is it possible that "The Beginning" is going to have some special effects?"
…
"Science fiction is very popular right now. I think that maybe 'The Beginning' is also a science fiction. And judging from the title, it might be about the end of the world."
"If you put it that way, I think it's quite possible."
At this time, at the launch conference, some people were preparing to ask Yu Xiaoshu questions, while others were discussing it privately.
In short, apart from Yan Ming, Yu Xiaoshu was the absolute focus at the launch conference, even more so than Yan Ming.
Come to think of it, this is normal.
After all, what everyone needs to know now is that "The Wandering Earth" is now heading towards 6 billion.
Just relying on this point alone is enough to make Yu Xiaoshu the absolute focus.
Before the press conference of "The Beginning", everyone only knew about the infinite flow of this movie. Apart from that, many people were basically in a state of worship for this movie.
6 billion.
When has there ever been such a flourishing age in Chinese cinema? ?
That's exactly the case, so naturally everyone wanted to say a few words to Yu Xiaoshu.
Ever since the main creators of "The Wandering Earth" live-streamed on Xiaoma Video during the Lantern Festival, basically neither the leading actor nor Yu Xiaoyang has accepted any interviews about the screenwriter since then.
All in all, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" is gradually soaring, but the actors are no longer on the road, and even Yu Xiaoshu refuses to accept any interviews.
Not only did he refuse to accept any interviews, he didn't even respond.
Why is this?
Many people are indeed a little confused.
Of course, you don’t need to figure it out. When it is said that the movie "The Wandering Earth" is becoming popular, major media will of course report it.
But now the only thing that matters about "The Wandering Earth" is when its box office can exceed 6 billion yuan.
Before this, there was basically no extra heat.
So, we need to think of another level of heat.
Yu Xiaoshu's web drama is very suitable.
If this web drama "The Beginning" was also a science fiction web drama, it would be even more suitable.
This is a double explosion.
Saying that Yu Xiaoshu’s online drama is not good or that Yu Xiaoshu’s online drama flopped are all small matters.
Under the current circumstances, whether you accept it or not, Yu Xiaoshu's web drama is popular, and this popularity can be easily converted into traffic.
So, naturally everyone would want to know Yu Xiaoshu’s thoughts at such a launch conference.
Looking at the many media reporters, Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "First of all, I want to make it clear that the web drama "Beginning" is not science fiction, it is an infinite flow. At the same time, the genre of this web drama is also an urban drama. For this reason, everyone can not force it to be science fiction. This is an infinite flow urban drama..."
Many people still expressed some confusion when Yu Xiaoshu said this.
But that doesn't matter.
For him, today's launch conference basically achieved the desired effect.
After all, there is still an exclusive interview later.
The interview spot was still given to Xiang Fei.
"Now, I declare that the filming of "The Beginning" has officially started."
Yu Xiaoshu said loudly.
And just like that, on March 1st, "The Beginning" officially started filming.
While the crew was making some preparations, Yu Xiaoshu came to the backstage lounge.
Today's photoshoot has been scheduled in advance, so there is nothing to worry about.
Yu Xiaoshu will accept Xiang Fei's interview first.
Before, Xiang Fei had already done some publicity for the web drama "The Beginning", and Yu Xiaoshu had also told Xiang Fei some things.
Today, Yu Xiaoshu needs to strengthen a little more.
That's right.
Just strengthen it a little bit more.
For Yu Xiaoshu, he has high hopes for the web drama "The Beginning". He is both the screenwriter and director of this web drama, and this is his debut work.
There is a chance that The Beginning will fail.
This is inevitable.
Yu Xiaoshu wasn’t too worried. What he was really worried about was that he wouldn’t be able to shoot such a web drama well.
If that's the case, then it's not good.
In Xiang Fei's exclusive interview, Yu Xiaoshu also expressed his concerns.
"Teacher Yu, are you worried that this web drama will fail???"
Xiang Fei was obviously a little surprised.
After all, this is Teacher Yu Xiaoshu.
The web series he filmed are already so great, so the scripts he wrote are bound to be successful.
As a result, Yu Xiaoshu now says that he is worried that the online drama will fail.
This is kind of funny no matter how you think about it.
Or it's a bit hard to believe.
Yu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "No, I'm not worried about this web series failing."
After hearing what Yu Xiaoshu said, Xiang Fei felt that this was normal.
That's true.
Nothing else to say.
How could Yu Xiaoshu possibly worry about his web drama failing? ?
But who knew that Yu Xiaoshu paused and said, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to take a good picture."
Xiang Fei was stunned: "Can't take a good picture?"
"That's right, it's just not well shot. You have to know that I don't know much about directing. This is also my first time directing a web series. I'm a newcomer in directing. To be more precise, I'm just an elementary school student."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed: "I'm not worried about whether the web drama will fail or not, because even if it does fail, I won't be sad. Who says I can always be undefeated? I'm just worried that I won't shoot it well and mess it up..."
This interview gave Xiang Fei a headache.
You should know that in previous interviews, Yu Xiaoshu was almost always full of confidence, and he was always in high spirits.
What happened this time???
During the interview this time, Yu Xiaoshu was full of worries and lack of confidence.
This is not a good thing??
Even Xiang Fei wondered if this web drama would flop? ? ?
Thinking of this, Xiang Fei said worriedly: "Teacher Yu, do you really have to write it like this???"
"Yes, just write it like that, it's okay."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly: "After all, we need to seek truth from facts."
An hour later, media reports on the web drama "The Beginning" came out.
"'Beginning' started filming today in Ludao. The scene was packed with stars, and many people came to support Yu Xiaoshu."
"As Yu Xiaoshu's first web drama, it is obvious that Yu Xiaoshu attaches great importance to it. He even invited countless people to support him."
"Yu Xiaoshu of "The Beginning" claimed that this is not a science fiction web drama. He said it is an urban drama with unlimited flow."
…
Many media outlets have reported on this.
Among these media reports, some people deliberately pick a point and then try to enlarge this point as much as possible.
At the same time, for Xiang Fei, he released this interview three hours later, when the discussion about the start of filming of the online drama "The Beginning" became heated.
In this interview, it was all written about how worried Yu Xiaoshu was, how unconfident he was, and even how he was worried about not being able to take the photos well.
This time, many people became interested.
"My goodness, many people have said before how amazing Yu Xiaoshu is, but this time, I think he is really not confident."
"Yes, I am indeed not confident. If I am worried about failing, then what else is there to discuss?"
"It seems that the web drama "The Beginning" has become unpopular before it even aired."
…
While the outside world was discussing "The Beginning", Yu Xiaoshu had already begun directing the first scene of "The Beginning".
