Chapter 568: Why Use a Butcher Knife to Kill a Chicken?
Yu Xiaoshu was actually also paying attention to several new films released on Valentine's Day.
He is more optimistic.
Because he thinks that the longer the title of a movie is, the trashier it is.
So Yu Xiaoshu needs to warm up in advance this time.
However, the movie he was warming up for was not "The Wandering Earth".
Again, "The Wandering Earth" actually doesn't need any more promotion now, because as word of mouth spreads, everyone will help promote it.
Yu Xiaoshu wants to promote "The Beginning".
At the same time, he wants to cool down science fiction movies.
Capital always remembers to eat but not to be beaten.
At any time, as long as they can make money, they will do it. If they can make money by following the trend, they don’t even need to follow the trend. If they can make money by plagiarizing, then they will definitely plagiarize.
These days, making money is important.
There are many cases where capital relies on supporting plagiarists to kill original works.
Although the movie "Yu Xiaoshu" that followed the trend flopped, most of the other movies that followed the trend were basically successful, and some of the plagiarized movies even had better box office results.
Everyone is really jealous of the movie "The Wandering Earth".
In just a few short days, Baiqian Media's phone has been flooded with calls, with some even coming to the door with money.
In short, in one sentence, as long as Baiqian Media makes the second part of "The Wandering Earth", you can get as much money as you want.
Money is not a problem.
Some come up to ask for money, and some come to negotiate friendship.
In short, everyone at this moment was looking at Baiqian Media as if they were wolves looking at meat, and everyone wanted to eat this piece of meat.
Several major investors have spoken with Baiqian Media.
Even Dongyi Film and Television called Baiqian Media.
In the face of money, the previous conflict means nothing.
However, Yu Xiaoshu basically did not show up in person on this matter.
Are you kidding???
You are the big guys, so should I give you face???
The most important thing in life is to be both far-sighted and near-sighted. When someone trusted Yu Xiaoshu and was willing to invest in "The Wandering Earth", of course Yu Xiaoshu would give them a hand again at this time.
As for others, there is no problem if they want to have a piece of the pie.
What is Dongyi Film and Television thinking? ?
They not only want to invest, they even want to obtain all the distribution rights of "The Wandering Earth".
What the hell are you thinking???
After all, Baiqian Media has always had a pleasant cooperation with Baoying Distribution Company, and basically all the movies are handed over to Baoying Distribution Company.
What’s more important is that Yu Xiaoshu and Zhang Haotian are getting along pretty well at the moment.
For this reason, Yu Xiaoshu directly asked someone to return it to Dongyi Film and Television.
We’ll talk about it later when we have the chance.
kindness.
There is no need to refuse outright.
After all, we don’t know when "The Wandering Earth 2" will be released.
"Teacher Yu..."
Zhong Fei was ready at this time. He said to Yu Xiaoshu: "Then let's get started."
This time, Zhong Fei finally found such an opportunity.
He has wanted to interview Yu Xiaoshu for a long time.
Honestly speaking, the sales of "See Movies" have declined recently. And the sales of "Film News" next door have increased by 30% because they have opened a science fiction channel and the daily traffic is just enough.
Who wouldn’t be envious?
For this reason, Zhong Fei has been looking for various opportunities to interview Yu Xiaoshu.
But there is no way.
As the box office of "The Wandering Earth" soars day by day, Yu Xiaoshu's interview schedule is basically full, and some of the interviews will be on TV stations.
At the same time, Yu Xiaoshu also has to take care of his own people.
In this way, it was almost impossible for Zhong Fei to get an exclusive interview with Yu Xiaoshu.
This time, the opportunity is rare, and Zhong Fei wrote the detailed outline of the interview yesterday.
In Zhong Fei's opinion, the box office success of "The Wandering Earth" is definitely not replicable, but there are some things that can be discussed and explored about the success of this movie.
So, what does Yu Xiaoshu think of the movie "The Wandering Earth"? ?
In other words, with the box office of "The Wandering Earth" so high, what does Yu Xiaoshu think of China's future movies? ? ?
Especially recently when everyone is blindly confident about science fiction movies, or blindly wants to invest in them, what does Yu Xiaoshu think? ? ?
As for some other issues, they are just marginal matters.
"Uncle Zhong, just call me Xiaoshu. I don't dare to be your teacher in front of you."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "And my teacher often told me to learn from you. I wanted to arrange an interview with you before, but I was too busy, so I didn't have time."
"Hahaha, okay, Xiaoshu, take a look at the detailed outline first and see if there are any that are inconvenient to interview. If it's not convenient, I won't ask."
Zhong Fei laughed and spoke very politely.
"You don't need to read the details. Uncle Zhong, you may not understand me when I do an interview, but basically there is nothing I can't say. As long as you ask, I will definitely answer."
Yu Xiaoshu said nonchalantly.
Yu Xiaoshu has always been like this when it comes to interviews.
Frankly speaking, he really doesn't care about so-called boundaries.
If you are an artist and you really want to make it in life, then naturally you won’t care about this.
We are all just acting on stage.
Yu Xiaoshu had seen through this a long time ago.
When he was a manager, he once told his artists this point, that is, artists should never think that they are superior to others.
You are just an entertainer.
Today's artists are different from the artists of the past.
Everyone is here to make money.
So what Yu Xiaoshu hates most about some artists is that they are whores but still try to act like virgins.
After all, in the entertainment industry, some artists are actually worse than bitches.
That's going too far.
Let’s get back to the interview.
Zhong Fei was of course more than happy to have Yu Xiaoshu cooperate with him.
So, the interview officially begins.
Zhong Fei first congratulated Yu Xiaoshu on the current box office of The Wandering Earth, and then asked: "Xiaoshu, what are your expectations for the future box office of The Wandering Earth?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, “I said at the celebration banquet before that I no longer have any expectations for the box office of The Wandering Earth, because I have basically achieved what I wanted to do. Now I don’t care what the box office is.”
At this point, Yu Xiaoshu said, "Actually, I find it a little funny that there are so many discussions online. I don't think there's any need to discuss whether The Wandering Earth can break 6 billion. For me, there's really no difference between The Wandering Earth breaking 6 billion and 5 billion. I don't care about the box office when I'm filming."
Yu Xiaoshu has said this many times before.
Every time, everyone thought Yu Xiaoshu was showing off.
But Yu Xiaoshu always thinks so every time.
Of course, the most crucial point is that many of Yu Xiaoshu’s movies did not fail at the box office.
Someone who has not failed in his movies said that I don’t care about the box office when making a movie.
Isn't this Versailles?
Then the next question was about Yu Xiaoshu’s analysis of some plots of “The Wandering Earth”, some follow-ups, and plans for the second part of “The Wandering Earth”.
Yu Xiaoshu answered all the questions one by one.
“In fact, I haven’t written the script for the second part of The Wandering Earth yet. I didn’t plan to shoot a sequel at the beginning. But when we were shooting The Wandering Earth, when we were polishing the script, I gradually had new ideas. But a movie script needs to be polished slowly. At the same time, because I made some mistakes in the first part, I need to be more cautious in this second part.”
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "Next, I plan to put it aside for now. I may restart the second plan after a year, and my current goal is to focus on the web drama."
You see, that’s the reason for this interview.
For Zhong Fei, he wanted to dig out some information from the movie "The Wandering Earth", or to grab some traffic.
To this end, Zhong Fei prepared a large number of manuscripts.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, of course he also cooperated as much as possible.
But for Yu Xiaoshu, this interview was mainly about his own web drama.
This is the fundamental.
Of course, Zhong Fei was prepared for this.
He asked, "So, Mr. Yu, the things that were revealed online before are true?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "It's not as bad as the online rumors say. I just wrote a script for a web drama, and a few actors didn't want to participate. I think this is normal. If you like it, you can cooperate. If you don't like it, you don't cooperate."
Zhong Fei expressed his confusion: "Xiao Shu, we all know that web dramas are still a little inferior after all. You have already reached the top in the film industry, so why do you continue to make web dramas?"
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu asked back: "Then Uncle Zhong, let me ask you a question, do you really think that online dramas are low-level?"
Zhong Fei was stunned: "What?"
"I've said before that there's no difference between online dramas, movies, and TV series, but many people in the industry think that movies are superior and online dramas are inferior. I don't agree with this distinction, and I want to get rid of this prejudice."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said, "Those so-called movie stars who make movies, why don't they try making TV series and see if some of them can make TV series well? In the scripts I wrote before, the so-called TV drama stars also achieved good results. I don't think there is any difference between them, and there is no need for everyone to have a discrimination chain."
Obviously, although Yu Xiaoshu came here for publicity, he also really wanted to discuss this with Zhong Fei.
The reason for the discussion was that Yu Xiaoshu believed that Zhong Fei was an insider in the industry, and people like Zhong Fei would definitely recognize the high quality of the film.
Then Yu Xiaoshu would have to discuss this with Zhong Fei first.
You think movies are superior.
good.
Why advanced?
Where is the advanced one.
It is said that filming a movie is difficult, but is it easy to film a web series? ?
What's more, others may not be qualified to say this, but Yu Xiaoshu is qualified.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, he is a master in online dramas, TV series and movies.
Under such circumstances, you think there is nothing wrong with what Yu Xiaoshu said?
Zhong Fei wanted to have a detailed chat with Yu Xiaoshu, but in the end he was persuaded by Yu Xiaoshu.
An hour later, Zhong Fei said to Yu Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, I will report according to this when I go back. I will send you a copy when the time comes. Do you think there is anything that needs to be changed?"
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "Okay, but it's better to send it today, because Xiang Fei will probably send a similar manuscript in two days."
Zhong Fei nodded gently: "Okay, I know."
After all, when it comes to news, what you want is to be the first to release it.
If Zhong Fei procrastinates, Xiang Fei will steal the spotlight.
Zhong Fei expressed his gratitude to Yu Xiaoshu.
He started organizing the interview transcript almost on his way back.
In this article, Yu Xiaoshu conducted a series of discussions on the success of "The Wandering Earth", the future of science fiction films, and other follow-up discussions.
Just like that, almost an hour later, Zhong Fei sent the manuscript to Yu Xiaoshu.
Obviously, Zhong Fei has tried his best.
Yu Xiaoshu took a quick look and said it was okay.
This article is well written.
Obviously Zhong Fei is a smart man. He simply cut down the length of "The Wandering Earth" and then used most of the length on the web drama "The Beginning".
Even the title has changed to: "Yu Xiaoshu's first debut work is about to be born."
The title party is still very important.
After all, when people see a title like "first work", they will naturally click in.
What's more, because of "The Wandering Earth", Yu Xiaoshu's popularity has skyrocketed.
Nowadays, when people hear the term "debut work", they will of course click on it.
"Wow, it turns out Yu Xiaoshu is the director."
"Okay, this is Yu Xiaoshu's first work as a director, but why is it a web drama?"
"Right. I don't quite understand it either. Yu Xiaoshu's scripts have always been popular with whoever makes them. I don't think it would be a big problem if he made the script himself."
"Yeah, why not take advantage of the situation and make a movie?"
…
Obviously, it cannot be said that the audience is not unconvinced about Yu Xiaoshu directing the web drama. It's not even that everyone does not believe in Yu Xiaoshu. On the contrary, everyone thinks that Yu Xiaoshu is overkill.
Who are you? ?
You are Yu Xiaoshu.
Why the hell are you just going to direct a web series on your own?
The movie is waiting for you.
Can't we have a second part of "The Wandering Earth"? ?
After watching "The Wandering Earth", of course everyone wants to watch the sequel.
As a result, Yu Xiaoshu now said that there will be no sequel for the time being, and he will have to wait a year until he has time to work on the script.
Because Yu Xiaoshu is now going to direct a web drama.
If you were the audience, would you be anxious?
You are using a butcher knife to crack a nut.
So it immediately became a hot topic.
Bao Nan, who was on his way back, felt helpless when reading this report.
Obviously, this is Yu Xiaoshu's character.
He always holds grudges.
It was like this back then, and it is even more so now.
Sister, this time your cleverness really backfired.
Bao Nan said with a sigh.
But on the other hand, Bao Xue didn't think so.
She even called Ma Ting away directly.
That's right.
The roadshow for the Lantern Festival had been planned long ago, but unexpectedly Ma Ting would not participate.
