Chapter 574 I Want to Change This Trend
This is the situation of Chinese films.
Many people who make movies don’t think about how to make a good movie. On the contrary, their first reaction is how to make money.
Make money, yes.
But if making a movie is all about making money, then taking a step back, it's fine if they just want to make money, but they don't want to pay attention to the quality of the movie, or even don't want to care about the script, and just think about how to make a profit.
How to explain this phenomenon???
It's like a high-end restaurant. You would think that the food in such a high-end restaurant must be good, but it turns out that the food is not even as good as that in a roadside stall.
This is a scam.
First, Chen Feng's "The World's Number One" had a fraudulent promotion during the Lunar New Year holiday, which made many people almost despair about the movie because many people found it completely incomprehensible.
That's right.
I just can't understand it.
Why do you Chen Feng do this?
Can't you succeed if you just make a good movie? ?
Why would they choose to gamble their own fame and reputation and defraud hundreds of millions of box office revenue?
The one who lost his integrity in his later years is Chen Feng.
As for the three movies "I Want to Go Far Away with You", "You Are Still the One I Love the Most After Many Years" and "Let's Get Married This Valentine's Day", the audience's anger was actually not that great.
It’s a bit funny indeed.
Because everyone didn't have high hopes for these three movies in the first place, and everyone thought that there was a greater chance that these three movies would be bad movies. However, everyone thought they would be bad movies, but they didn't expect them to be this bad.
Take Bai Yang's "I Want to Go Far Away with You" for example. The promotion of this movie was also very aggressive, and Bai Yang is also a well-known director, not to mention that he invited Qi Tian to sing a promotional song "Go Far Away".
How to say it? ?
Everyone thought that the movie "I Want to Go Far Away with You" should at least get a score of 6, at least a very high score. But it turned out that everyone thought too much. Let alone passing, it didn't even get a score of 4.
The plot, the plot is bad, the actors, the actors are bad, there is absolutely nothing good about it.
No, if there is anything good, it’s the interlude and theme song of “I Want to Go Far Away with You”.
In short, it’s basically one of those bad movies that turns out to be a masterpiece.
Not only that, the other two movies are similar. For example, the theme song "Brave" of the movie "Many Years Later, I Still Love You the Most" is also liked by many people.
Not to mention the others.
The reputation of the three movies has completely collapsed.
Then, many people will not go to see this movie, because everyone thinks there is nothing to watch in it, and it is ridiculous to spend money to buy a bad movie.
If you have that much time, you might as well just listen to the theme song and interlude.
Because the essence of these three movies is all in the songs.
Many times, spending two hours watching a bad movie is actually a torture.
Just like that, since Valentine's Day, for several consecutive days, the three Valentine's Day movies plus two other movies have completely withdrawn from the box office competition.
Because of the poor performance of these movies, basically the three movies "The Wandering Earth", "One Life" and "Blind Date" have returned to the rankings.
It seems like there is no difference from the Lunar New Year period.
wrong.
There is also a difference, that is, the box office of the movie "Blind Date" has become strong again.
This is something many people would not expect.
In everyone's opinion, "Blind Date" was not very popular in the beginning. Many people even thought that this movie was just cannon fodder. After all, no matter how you look at it, this movie has no chance of success.
As a result, the movie "Blind Date" can be said to have achieved considerable success.
In fact, "Blind Date" is the first profitable movie during the Lunar New Year holiday.
The reason is simple, because this movie is a completely low-budget movie, and the promotion and marketing is not that strong.
And then, it happened to be successful.
I can only say that the time slot was well chosen.
You should know that there are almost no pure comedies in the Lunar New Year movies, and the movie "Blind Date" is rare.
In fact, if "Blind Date" was really released in other periods, it might not have such a box office performance.
Such a miracle can happen during the Lunar New Year holiday.
This is also the reason why many people are thinking of releasing the film during the Lunar New Year holiday.
The Lunar New Year holiday season is a place where success can be achieved and miracles can be created.
It has always been like this.
Now, the box office of the movie "Blind Date" has become more and more solid. I didn't expect that half a month later, the box office of "Blind Date" can still be so strong.
For this reason, the previous statement that there would be only one winner in the Lunar New Year box office is actually not very appropriate.
In addition to "The Wandering Earth", "Blind Date" is also a big winner.
At present, the Taigong Banquet for "Blind Date" has been held several times.
That's right.
Make money.
The box office has begun to gradually stabilize, and most importantly, it has made quite a good profit. So under such circumstances, of course they have to hold more celebration banquets.
Then what.
Just wait and make money.
Hold a celebration banquet, promote it once, and that’s equivalent to publicity and promotion.
This is normal.
After all, to be honest, now that "Blind Date" has made money, the publicity and promotion can naturally be increased.
This is how you can do "Blind Date".
But "The Wandering Earth" would never do that.
To be honest, "The Wandering Earth" has basically officially entered the final stage. Apart from anything else, the roadshow of "The Wandering Earth" will be over after the live broadcast of the Lantern Festival.
After all, there is no need for large-scale roadshows anymore.
When everyone gets together again, it should be after "The Wandering Earth" is taken offline.
By then, if we can really break 6 billion, we should be able to hold another celebration party.
Now.
Everyone can now do their own things.
Yu Xiaoshu naturally began to prepare for the web drama "The Beginning".
Now "The Wandering Earth" has actually come to an end.
As for the web drama "The Beginning", Yu Xiaoshu has found someone who can play Li Shiqing.
Newcomer.
She is Yu Xiaoshu’s junior, 19 years old this year, studying acting at the Film Academy, her name is Yang Xuecai.
Her acting skills are good, and she is called a newcomer because she has not acted in any film or TV series yet.
Yang Xuecai is a junior this year. In college, she has basically only filmed some commercials and occasionally worked as a model, but she has never acted.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to act.
But there is no chance.
In her own words, basically, good roles would definitely not be hers. Then there were film and television companies that wanted to sign her, but Yang Xuecai did not want to sign with the company so early. Another point was that the contract was also quite harsh.
This is normal.
After all, how many rookie contracts are not harsh?
For this reason, Yang Xuecai basically gave up temporarily.
Not only that, Yang Xuecai did not attend the dinner party.
A dinner party is essentially an exchange.
Many students from film academies would attend dinner parties, which were basically organized by people from the film and television industry. At the same time, it was self-evident what these students, or more precisely female students, some pretty female students, mainly did in the past.
More importantly, many female students are also willing to attend the dinner.
Now it's just a matter of mutual consent.
What's more, most of the time in the entertainment industry, it's not really about force, it's often a mutual exchange.
Many times, I sleep with you once, then help you a little, take off my pants to talk about love, and put on my pants to talk about profit.
Just like Yang Xuecai's roommates, they basically attend various dinner parties, and they don't go with the intention of being kept, after all, they all have boyfriends.
Their thinking is simple: if there is really a chance, then what's the big deal about being slept with once? ?
There is no such thing as being down-to-earth nowadays. Most of the time, everyone feels that working hard and down-to-earth is of no use at all, and it is worse than selling meat.
Yang Xuecai has four roommates in total. Among them, one started taking on some roles since her freshman year, and is now a stable second female lead, and is signed to Dongyi Film and Television.
Another roommate did not become an actor. Instead, he started working as a host at Didu TV Station, and the results were quite good.
The third and fourth roommates were slightly worse, and basically they would only find a suitable role every few days.
In short, among Yang Xuecai's roommates, Yang Xuecai is the one who is doing the worst. At the same time, every time when her roommates get together, Yang Xuecai is basically the one who is talked about the most.
Basically, education is the priority.
That's just not the way you are.
If you want to make it in the entertainment industry, you should learn how to use tricks.
As women, we only have a few years, and we still have a chance. Besides, our bodies are also our capital.
…
In short, there are quite a lot of such remarks, and they are all said by students who are only 18 or 19 years old.
From this aspect, we know that the domestic entertainment industry is not endless, but that everyone no longer believes that so-called persistence will lead to success.
Taking the high road is not appropriate.
In the casting of "The Beginning" this time, Yang Xuecai and others went for auditions.
We always have to try our luck.
What's more, the role of Li Shiqing is very suitable for them.
As a result, after trying it, all five people went back to wait for news.
It has been many days since the audition, and they haven't received any news, so there is basically no role.
You know, although "The Beginning" is a web drama, and many people are not optimistic about this web drama, it is still Yu Xiaoshu's work after all, which is what many people, such as Yang Xuecai, dream of.
If I could play a role in Yu Xiaoshu's work, and be the protagonist at that, then I would be very proud of it.
Who doesn’t want to be popular?
In the entertainment industry, who among the actors doesn’t want to gain some fame? ?
But this is the real world. If you don’t pay anything, how can you get it?
After all, only a few people can get it as easily as Ma Ting.
Comparing yourself with others can sometimes make you angry to death.
Ma Ting can get resources easily, but people like Yang Xuecai can't.
The eldest sister among Yang Xuecai’s roommates is Ding Minxia, who is signed to Dongyi Film and Television. It can be said that she met an assistant director at a dinner party, and then you know, she got a role thanks to her relationship with the assistant director.
Then, step by step, he signed a contract with Dongyi Film and Television.
Ding Minxia does not regret doing this.
In her opinion, if she doesn't find some opportunities while she is young, it will be more difficult after graduation.
After all, we are young now.
Ding Minxia understood very early on that it is right to be rich in this world, and being poor is the original sin.
If you are poor, people will look down on you.
Why did Ding Minxia apply for the acting department?
Because she thinks it is easy to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Although many people say that it is not easy to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, that is because of other people. As long as she, Ding Minxia, can seize an opportunity, she can succeed.
For this reason, during her freshman year, Ding Minxia attended dinner parties almost constantly. Sometimes she even attended dinner parties five days a week. She was always looking for opportunities.
This is an ambitious woman.
Compared to Ma Ting, a proud young lady who is a bit naive, Ding Minxia is the one who is more suitable for the entertainment industry.
Of course Ding Minxia knew about Ma Ting, and she also attended Ma Ting's signing ceremony.
She envied Ma Ting. After all, Ma Ting had a good mother and a good aunt. In Ding Minxia's opinion, if she had a family like Ma Ting, she would definitely be better than Ma Ting.
But there are no ifs in life.
Moreover, Ding Minxia’s agent had told her before that Dongyi Film and Television and Baiqian Media did not get along very well. What’s more, Yu Xiaoshu did not like Dongyi Film and Television. Therefore, it was impossible for Ding Minxia to participate in "The Beginning".
But even knowing this, Ding Minxia still went for the audition. When she went for the audition, she did not say that she was from Dongyi Film and Television.
But it didn't work.
It seems that I still failed.
“That’s normal, actually.”
Ding Minxia looked at everyone and acted like a big sister. "It's okay. This is how the entertainment industry is. I dare say Yu Xiaoshu has probably already been cast as the heroine of 'The Beginning'. We are just there to make up the numbers. Or maybe he just wants to promote it."
The second oldest in the dormitory, Zhao Qingqing, who was the host, also said, "That's definitely the case. Haha, everyone just gets used to it. By the way, Xuecai, are you still going to remain innocent?"
Many times, everyone has suffered from various unspoken rules. Although it is voluntary, you, Yang Xuecai, are so unsociable that everyone is still unhappy.
What?
You are the only one who is pure???
At the same time, Yu Xiaoshu was preparing to call Yang Xuecai.
After all, he thinks Yang Xuecai is good.
I have always been quite down-to-earth.
In this regard, Yu Xiaoshu still appreciates it.
Who says that the entertainment industry must follow unspoken rules?
Yu Xiaoshu wants to break this trend and change it.
