At the end of June, "Tiny Times" was released as scheduled

This movie, adapted from a well-known novel, directed by popular writer Guo Xiaosi, and starring top actresses Da Mimi and Tang Yan, has performed extremely well in the box office market.

The box office on the first day was over 75 million, and on the second day it was around 65 million, and in five days it grossed over 300 million.

An explosive start!

If this trend continues, it may not break 1 billion like "Lost in Thailand" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", but 700 to 800 million will not be difficult.

However, it is obvious that "Tiny Times" does not have this strength. Its explosive start relied on publicity and promotion, fans of the original novel, as well as fans of Guo, Tang, Yang, and a group of unknown passers-by who were fooled by the popularity.

After the initial efforts were over and the true reputation of the film was exposed, "Tiny Times" was naturally reduced to its original form and was once listed as one of the two worst films together with "Fuji Mountain Residence".

Platforms led by Douban, Tianya, and Zhihu have severely criticized the film, calling it a "money-worshiping 'masterpiece' that is full of whining ." To put it bluntly, it has no story, no content, and no tone.

Even the relatively impressive costumes and props are called "photo studio style" because of their extravagance and luxury.

Guo Xiaosi was trampled on violently, but he himself might not be entangled or sad about it.

Compared to the bad word of mouth, the box office of this movie exceeded expectations.

Even if the box office collapses in the later stages, it can at least reach around 500 million, and the film company will get a share of nearly 200 million.

The actual cost of "Tiny Times" did not exceed 50 million yuan, and more importantly, this 50 million yuan was used to shoot two films.

"Tiny Times 2" will also be released in August. Considering its reputation, the box office will definitely not be as good as the first one, but the base is here. Even if it is cut in half, the film company can still get about 100 million yuan.

This is not a small amount when added up. Even if multiple companies share it together, at least tens of millions will remain in Guo Xiaosi's hands.

This is much more than what he earned from writing novels! In the 2012 writer income rankings, Guo Xiaosi's royalties were about 14 million. Of course, at this time, he was more of a cultural businessman, and his income was not just from writing books.

But even so, there are so many benefits to making movies. You can earn a lot, gain fame and exposure, and then it can benefit your own homepage later.

There are so many good things that it is impossible to list them all in words. In addition, Guo himself has a personality that is both inferior and arrogant, and he is born to pursue fame and fortune.

Compared with these, what is the point of being scolded? Guo Xiaosi is in pain and happy, and Boss Wei and others behind him are pure happiness.

He took the blame and was criticized, while Guo Xiaosi had to bear the consequences.

They share the lion's share of the money earned behind the scenes.

Wei Yang can earn about 40 million from this project alone, not to mention that he also helped promote Da Mimi and Tang Yan.

"Tiny Times" has a bad reputation, but the exposure is real and the box office results are also real.

Although Tang and Yang also suffered some negative effects, there were also many benefits.

As I said, the important attribute of celebrities is that they are commodities. As long as they can prove their commercial value and bring profits to others, capital will flock to them.

So, although it seems that Tang and Yang were "affected" by Guo Xiaosi to a certain extent, they actually became very popular and were exposed to a lot of endorsements and business opportunities. The film market also began to pay attention to them.

The most obvious manifestation is that their film pay and endorsement fees have increased.

Many times, the easiest way to tell whether a star is really popular or just a facade is to see how much money she makes.

Capital is not stupid and will not give it to stars for free. There may be unexpected events for one or two companies, but if everyone gives this price, it proves that she is worth the money.

Compared to the 40 million yuan that "Tiny Times" received, the various subsequent profits generated by Tang and Yang are the real long-term benefits.

It goes without saying that the agency shares the artists' personal income. As they become more popular, their value increases, and their works naturally become more valuable.

For example, in "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Fall in Love with You", the female protagonists are so popular, so 10 million yuan for one drama is not a lot, and if you stretch the price a little more, maybe you can get more.

All the scattered sums added up are worth more than the 40 million dividends...

When he thought of this, Wei Yang felt a little more favorable towards Guo Xiaosi. He was not just a dwarf, but a little golden man.

For the sake of money, Boss Wei personally attended the celebration banquet for "Tiny Times" and praised Guo Xiaosi to reporters.

"Director Guo is very good at selecting actresses and is willing to invest time and money in costumes and makeup."

The former said that he was praising Guo Xiaosi, but in fact he was praising Da Mimi and Tang Yan, two of his own people.

To be honest, the costumes and props are really expensive, regardless of whether their style is exaggerated or not.

When Wei Yang was filming "My Love from the Star", the scenes were already very exaggerated, and many of the costumes and props were enough to scare the actors.

Guo Xiaosi is even better than he was before. Many of his costumes and makeup are high-end, and there are piles of brand-name clothes. Even the costumes of some extras are worth hundreds of thousands, so this drama is jokingly called a "luxury goods commercial."

There are really famous brands everywhere, and they are piling up the so-called extravagant luxury to the point of putting the cart before the horse.

In a film, no matter how good the costumes and props are, they should serve the story and characters, rather than making the characters and the story accommodate these things. It can be a selling point, but it cannot be the biggest or even the only selling point.

Because of this, even though Guo Xiaosi has a bunch of famous brands, his photos are too dull and his nouveau riche face is clearly revealed, so he is criticized for the "photo studio style".

The meaning is very simple. Even if these costumes and props are real, Guo Xiaosi made them look fake and cheap...

And this statement is also a bit cunning. Praising only the costumes, makeup, and actresses is, to a certain extent, saying that other aspects of "Tiny Times" are bad.

But even so, this kind of "high emotional intelligence" also touched Guo Xiaosi deeply.

At least Wei Yang gave some positive comments, while the others just scolded him. In comparison, Boss Wei was like a saint in Guo Xiaosi's eyes.

Then he started crying! That’s right, Guo Xiaosi cried, with an expression like “The world doesn’t understand me, but as long as you understand me, I will be fulfilled”, which made Wei Yang feel sick.

What was even more disgusting was Da Mimi and Tang Yan. They almost snatched Wei Yang away from Guo Xiaosi.

Da Mimi even warned Wei Yang seriously: "I'm telling you, stay away from him, or you'll suffer."

Before "Tiny Times", two parts were filmed in one go. Da Mimi and Guo Xiaosi filmed together for several months, so they naturally got to know the situation. Girls are still very sensitive to this kind of "sisters", not to mention that she knew that dead girl.

So Da Mimi was experienced and had long seen through Guo Xiaosi's situation, and was afraid that Wei Yang would be fooled.

It was hard enough for a group of women to snatch Wei Yang, and if a man came out to snatch him too, it would be uncomfortable and disgusting.

Tang Yan also nodded affirmatively, and even broke away from her usual well-behaved attitude and took the initiative to threaten.

"If you dare to talk to him any more, I will tell Shi Shi about it."

Da Mimi added: "I also know the phone number of that person named Zhao."

Normally people can argue, but on issues of such super principle, everyone's interests and attitudes must remain firmly consistent.

“…”

Wei Yang was furious when he heard this: "When did I have this tendency? Please don't wrongly accuse me. This kind of thing will never happen to me."

Seeing the frustrated Wei Yang, Da Mimi felt a little guilty, but still said: "Who knows if you will deliberately seek excitement."

"Get lost."

If there weren't people around, Wei Yang would have wanted to hold her down and spank her. Tang Yan was very satisfied to see him so angry. At least it showed that Wei Yang was very disgusted with this matter, and what they were worried about would not come true.

"But we have to be careful. It's hard to say whether he will resort to trickery. Mimi said they are very cunning."

"Do we need to force him?"

Wei Yang glanced at Guo Xiaosi who was not far away. Just looking at that head and body, he punched one by one.

"What if I take the medicine? We have to be prepared."

Da Mimi and the other person were like people with paranoid delusions, guarding Wei Yang tightly.

It's not that they are sensitive, it's just that the way Guo Xiaosi looked at Wei Yang was too weird. Plus, they were in the crew and vaguely knew that other male actors might have been harmed, so they naturally had to be careful and on guard.

Wei Yang felt a little scared because of their whispering. It was not that he was afraid of Guo Xiaosi. The key point was that this was like a toad jumping on his foot - it didn't hurt but it was disgusting.

He does not discriminate against the relevant groups, but if you target him, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding or not, Wei Yang did avoid Guo Xiaosi after that. Even when the latter came to toast him, Da Mimi and Tang Yan were watching him from both sides. He didn't even add him on WeChat.

Guo Xiaosi was not a fool. When he saw this attitude, he realized that there was no chance of follow-up. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

But Guo Xiaosi didn't come, but other people came in large numbers to make friends with the big guy. Not to mention other things in "Tiny Times", there are still many handsome men and beautiful women.

For example, Guo Biting, known as the advertising goddess, was able to marry into a wealthy family later. She has a good appearance, temperament and figure. She is the kind of gentle first love type that men like very much.

Wei Yang chatted with her for a while and even left his contact information.

God bless him, he has no bad intentions, he just appreciates and loves talent.

This girl's acting skills are sparse, but she's still good as a vase beauty. Maybe she can be useful. If you see a suitable candidate, leave your contact information for future use. Many film and television company bosses and producers will do this.

As a result, he left his phone number, turned around and saw that Da Mimi and Tang Yan were a little depressed, and couldn't help but smile.

"What kind of jealousy are you? If I really wanted to hook up, I wouldn't have to do it in front of you two."

"You are just flirting with us. What can we say? It's not legitimate and we can't intervene even if we want to."

Da Mimi's tone was resentful, and Wei Yang really couldn't stand her jealous tone. He would rather she bicker with him, so he found an excuse and chatted with the CEO of Tianyu.

Tang Yan remained silent, and Da Mi Mi couldn't help but taunt her: "You are so obedient, are you really planning to be the younger one forever?"

"I can't compare to you. I can't even do the small things."

Tang Yan wanted to ease the tension with her, but that didn't mean she would let Da Mimi ride on her. She started to attack her, making Da Mimi tremble with anger.

While Tang Yan went to the buffet to get some fruit, Da Mi Mi took out a small paper bag from her bag and looked at the wine glasses with twinkling eyes...
