Chapter 85 Is this what I mean? (Please recommend)
Guo Han Studio.
These days, Guo Han is alone in the studio and doesn't see anyone.
Obviously, the box office failure of "Cross-Border Love" was a big blow to Guo Han.
Guo Han, an employee of the studio, gave them a holiday until after the Lantern Festival.
He wanted to be quiet.
These days, when Guo Han learned that "Cross-border Love" had no hope of making 300 million yuan, his mentality collapsed.
Xiaoma Entertainment still wants to save it, but Guo Han no longer cooperates with the promotion and marketing.
He doesn't even go online.
Just staying in the studio alone.
Guo Han, who has always been successful, never thought of failure. What's more important is that he put all his efforts into this film "Cross-border Love", and yet he failed so completely.
Now two-thirds of the online comments are about Guo Han.
Who made Guo Han famous at a young age and then became so arrogant?
Not to mention that after "Cross-border Love" received bad reviews, Guo Han couldn't help but quarrel with the audience.
The film failed both at the box office and in terms of reputation, so the industry may be a little concerned, but some media and netizens will not let Guo Han go.
It’s just like the overwhelming doubts when Yu Xiaoshu’s first work failed.
But capital will not lose confidence in Guo Han.
After all, the failure of a work does not mean anything.
But if, if Guo Han’s next work continues to fail, that would be different.
So, Guo Han felt the pressure for the first time.
In the past, he had never been afraid when writing online articles, because Guo Han knew that even if he was not satisfied with what he wrote, it would not fail, because he understood the routines of online articles, he knew what online readers liked, and how to make readers comfortable and satisfied.
For online literature, as long as the readers feel comfortable, everything is fine.
Therefore, the fact that Guo Han can become the youngest platinum in the online literature industry, and that Guo Han can remain standing in an industry like online literature where the pace of elimination and renewal is extremely fast, is enough to show his strength.
As for being a director, Guo Han also had smooth sailing.
A child of destiny.
Many people say that Guo Han is a child of destiny, and this year someone wrote an article saying that Guo Han is the "protagonist with his own system."
As a result, now the protagonist has fallen into the mortal world.
In the past two days, many media have begun to publicly criticize Guo Han.
"Guo Han's character doomed him to failure today."
“Those who don’t know how to respect the audience will eventually be abandoned by the audience.”
"Guo Han's defeat reminded me of Yu Xiaoshu in the past."
…
These articles basically analyze that the failure of "Cross-border Love" was due to Guo Han's arrogance, self-willedness, etc.
In short, all the advantages that Guo Han was praised for before have now become disadvantages.
It is normal for the media to do this, but the audience criticized Guo Han’s remarks.
Xiaoma Video has given up the idea of doing public relations for Guo Han.
Since "Cross-Border Love" has failed, there has to be someone to vent its anger on.
Originally, the young handsome guys would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the attack, but who would have thought that Guo Han attracted all the firepower.
As a director, if you criticize your bread and butter, then don't blame the audience for criticizing you.
Fortunately, Guo Han is a web writer.
Have you ever seen any online writer dare to confront his readers?
It only proves one thing, that Guo Han, who became famous at a young age and had a smooth journey, has become arrogant.
"What? Are you here to laugh at my joke?"
Guo Han looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said calmly: "If you want to laugh at me, then you have finished now and can leave."
"Director Guo, you misunderstood."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Guo Han seriously, "How could I possibly laugh at your joke? I've experienced all these things. That's what the media does, they praise the powerful and bully the weak."
“That’s right.”
Guo Han listened to Yu Xiaoshu's words and nodded slightly: "I forgot that you had suffered even worse humiliation."
"That's right, Director Guo. I think you don't need to care about what the outside world thinks. The harder they step on you now, the more they will praise you when your next work is successful."
Yu Xiaoshu said.
Guo Han suddenly laughed: "Yes, you are right. A temporary failure is nothing. I have been reflecting on this in the past few days. The failure of "Cross-border Love" is not due to me, but to the market. The market is tired of romance films, so my failure this time is not due to me, but to the market."
Yu Xiaoshu: “???”
Damn it.
Is that what I mean?
"Yes, it is."
At this moment, Guo Han seemed to have found a soulmate: "You and I are thinking the same thing. I have been hesitant about the subject of my next movie. Now I am sure that my next movie must be a blockbuster. Now is the era of special effects. I plan to directly shoot a fairy tale movie. I..."
Yu Xiaoshu had a black line on his forehead.
He hurriedly stopped Guo Han and said, "Director Guo, what I mean is..."
"Don't worry, I understand, Xiaoshu. I am a little unhappy that you didn't promote the movie for me, but don't worry, I, Guo Han, am not a grudge-bearing person. Let's put things aside. And I also know that you don't want to expose the Yu Xiao pseudonym, so if you don't want to promote it, then don't promote it. But I am still very touched that you came to me today and took the initiative to persuade me to do so."
Guo Han said, gently pressing Yu Xiaoshu's shoulder, "You are different from those men. I am very relieved."
Looking at Guo Han's tender eyes, Yu Xiaoshu got goose bumps all over his body.
What the hell is this??
He came to Guo Han indeed to have a chat with him. After all, although Yu Xiaoshu rejected Guo Han's request to promote "Cross-border Love", Guo Han did not hold a grudge against Yu Xiaoshu because of this afterwards, and even did not say that Yu Xiaoshu was ungrateful during the interview.
From this point of view.
Guo Han is really much better than Sun Hei.
Repay kindness with kindness and repay hatred with hatred.
Yu Xiaoshu doesn't want the road to become narrower and narrower.
What he needs to deal with next are Dongyi Film and Television, Kunlang Film and Television, and Huxing Film and Television. If other people knew what Yu Xiaoshu was thinking, they would definitely think he was crazy.
Baiqian Media, an entertainment company that is on the verge of bankruptcy at any time, actually wants to deal with these three companies. Even if Huxing is a second-rate one, it is much stronger than Baiqian Media.
For this reason, Yu Xiaoshu certainly cannot attract hatred everywhere, as if he has his own "taunting system". He also needs to make friends with a group of people.
Needless to say, Lin Feiyang is a friend in need.
And Guo Han?
Yu Xiaoshu felt that this was a person who only dealt with matters at hand.
Yu Xiaoshu felt that this was something worth making close friends with.
Today he came to Guo Han to hint at the problem and then persuade Guo Han in a roundabout way.
After all, when it comes to his work, Guo Han is more stubborn.
No one is perfect.
As long as it is not a matter of principle, and as long as the person is not as bad as Sun Hei, Yu Xiaoshu will not care.
But now, Yu Xiaoshu feels a little regretful.
I really shouldn't have come.
He took a step back calmly, and then Yu Xiaoshu said to Guo Han: "Director Guo, what I mean is..."
"I understand. I understand everything. Just like you said just now, you have experienced all of this before, so you can empathize with me. Don't worry, I will be more cautious in my next work, because I can't afford to lose. So I plan to shoot the IP of "Thousand Turns of Xiuxian". I lost the 2019 Lunar New Year file, but I will definitely not lose again in the 2020 Lunar New Year file."
Guo Han interrupted Yu Xiaoshu again.
Oh shit.
There is no way to chat today.
"Thousand Turns to Cultivate Immortality" is an online novel, and it triggered a craze for online fantasy novels ten years ago. Even after ten years, "Thousand Turns to Cultivate Immortality" is still as popular as ever.
But it is not easy to shoot this IP.
The investment cannot be lower.
Yu Xiaoshu didn't doubt Guo Han's ability, but Guo Han became a platinum writer with his urban novels. He has never written fantasy or fairy tales. Now you ask him to shoot a fairy tale-themed movie?
Isn't this just a desperate attempt to find a cure? ?
"Director Guo, don't get excited. Calm down. Calm down."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Guo Han, "Listen to me, have you bought the copyright of "Thousand Turns to Cultivate Immortality"? "
"I bought it a long time ago. Eight years ago, I thought that online literature would definitely explode in the future, so I stockpiled a batch of IP copyrights."
Guo Han said with a bit of complacency: "Many people thought I was stupid at first, but now the price of an IP has increased more than tenfold."
"Okay, the copyright is in your hands, you can shoot it, but Director Guo, isn't it a bit too big of a jump in genre? After all, you have never written a fairy tale."
Yu Xiaoshu advised earnestly: "Transformation is risky, so we should be cautious."
"Xiao Shu, do you know why I have been successful all these years?"
Guo Han suddenly laughed at Yu Xiaoshu, and then he revealed the answer without waiting for Yu Xiaoshu to finish: "That's because I'm not afraid of taking risks every time. You said I haven't written any fairy tales, but do you know the account 'Han Gongzi'? He is now a great online writer, and this is my pseudonym."
It has come to this.
It's no use trying to persuade him again.
If there was anything gained from this trip, it was that Yu Xiaoshu suddenly felt that his relationship with Guo Han had taken a step further.
Naturally, speaking becomes more casual.
He still felt that Guo Han was a bit risky.
Of course, Guo Han refused to listen to the advice as usual. He smiled and said, "Whether you are writing online novels or being a director, how can you be 100% safe? Why did those platinums who worked with me fall behind? It's because they always wanted to be safe and rely on their old reputation. In the end, they were eliminated by readers. The same is true for movies. Now that the market has changed direction, I have to follow the trend."
Yu Xiaoshu: "But, I..."
"There's no but, Xiaoshu, you don't understand this area of movies."
Guo Han interrupted with a smile: "Okay, we're done with business, let's go, let's go have a meal together, I also want to ask you about your web drama?"
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Okay."
The two found a quiet restaurant and talked about online dramas instead of movies while eating.
"Xiao Shu, you are too easy to be bullied. In the entertainment industry, good people are often bullied. It is obvious that you wrote "I Am Yu Huanshui", so why did you let them throw dirty water on you? If it were me, I would have flipped the table long ago."
After listening to what Yu Xiaoshu said, Guo Han said angrily, "These people in the screenwriting circle are the worst. I didn't scold you. You are better than them, especially some so-called old people. It's shameless to grab the credit."
Yu Xiaoshu deeply agreed with this statement.
Because they both had something to do in the afternoon, neither of them got drunk.
"Okay, then you can go back directly. I have to prepare a new movie next."
Guo Han said to Yu Xiaoshu, "When the new movie comes out, I'll have to give you the theme song."
"That's easy."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled.
The two separated, and Yu Xiaoshu went directly back to Baiqian Media.
I have to say that Wang Bao’s movements are quite fast.
There are already revelations about "The Undocumented Crime" on the Internet.
“Is this true or false??”
"The Undocumented Crime was rejected by Xiaoma Video?"
"It's normal to reject it. After all, Xiaoma Video and Tiger Star Films have reached a strategic cooperation."
"That's right, but doesn't that prove that the script of 'The Undocumented Crime' is bad?"
…
After the news broke, there was more discussion online.
"Uncle Wang, you're pretty quick."
Yu Xiaoshu returned to Baiqian Media, then came to Wang Bao's office and said with a smile: "I thought it would ferment tomorrow."
"It wasn't me."
Wang Bao said with a wry smile: "I haven't started yet."
"kindness??"
Yu Xiaoshu frowned slightly: "If it wasn't you who did it? Then who did it?"
"Pony Video."
Wang Bao sneered and said, "It seems that I overestimated Ding Yi. I thought he was a smart man, but I didn't expect him to be a fool."
"It shouldn't be Ding Yi."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly: "If it was Ding Yi, he wouldn't have had to be so polite to us in the office today. It's obvious that he still wants to cooperate with us in the future."
"Who else could it be if not Ding Yi?"
Wang Bao shook his head and said, "We are going to Xiaoma Video today to discuss cooperation with Ding Yi. So it will be just the three of us. It's not you, it's not me, and it's not Ding Yi, right?"
"I can't say for sure."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as the effect is achieved, it's good, so Uncle Wang, why are you so angry?"
"I'm not angry."
Wang Bao shook his head and said, "I just think Xiao Ma's video is not sophisticated."
"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't care about us, then we don't need to care about them either."
Yu Xiaoshu suddenly said, "Well, Uncle Wang, we still have to continue exposing the information, but this time it's not exposing the information, but an interview. We will publish the video of our conversation with Xiao Ma through reporters."
It's all propaganda anyway.
There is no need to worry about any means at this time.
Wang Bao hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
At the same time, Pony Video.
Ding Yi said angrily: "When did I ask you to promote this?"
Publicity Director Li Qing said, "Boss Ding, didn't you say that we should promote 'I Am Li Xiaobao' as much as possible? Well, since we have rejected 'The Undocumented Crime' today, we should naturally take advantage of this incident."
"That's all."
Ding Yi shook his head and said, "But please cancel all other subsequent promotions. We want to promote "I Am Li Xiaobao" as much as possible, but we don't need to offend "The Undocumented Crime", especially Yu Xiaoshu."
Li Qing was a little puzzled: "Boss Ding, do you think Yu Xiaoshu still has a chance?"
“Who can say for sure?”
Ding Yi sighed and said, "We are not one of the top three. What we lack is online dramas and Netflix. Although we are currently cooperating deeply with Tiger Star Films, there is no need for us to offend Yu Xiaoshu. What if there is another opportunity for cooperation in the future?"
“Is there still a chance??”
Li Qing was a little unconvinced: "Don't people say that The Undocumented Crime is a bad movie? Mr. Ding, haven't you seen it?"
“I haven’t seen it, but I personally feel it may not be a bad movie.”
Ding Yi thought for a moment and said, "But we can't possibly accept a passing film."
Obviously, Ding Yi felt that "The Undocumented Crime" might just be a passable film and it was impossible for it to become a hit.
This is also the reason why he rejected Yu Xiaoshu without even looking at him.
Yu Xiaoshu and Ding Yi were optimistic about the show, but he was not optimistic about the hastily crafted script.
…
Over the next two days, the topic of "The Undocumented Crime" being rejected by Xiaoma Video surged a bit online, including the latest response from Sun Hei, who is currently filming "I Am Li Xiaobao".
It’s better not to say anything, it’s still the same old weird attitude.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, he returned to Ice City.
Then after returning to the crew, Yu Xiaoshu was a little surprised.
"Say it again."
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Zhang Yi and Li Jia and said, "Feng Jie didn't come?"
…
