Chapter 719 Spring Festival

Whenever he heard news about Tan Yue, Qi Kai sometimes hesitated whether to continue to treat Tan Yue as his mortal enemy.

He really hated Tan Yue, and he also hated the people in Brilliant Entertainment Company.

But so many encounters with Tan Yue told him that Tan Yue was now in a too high position, and he seemed to no longer be Tan Yue's opponent.

He didn't want to admit it, but there was no way.

"No, although he is now a top public figure, I am not powerless to fight back."

"It's just that it's really not appropriate now. I have to wait until his glory has faded a little."

"It depends on this movie. If the box office of "The Wreath Under the Mountain" is not good, Tan Yue's myth will be broken, and I will still have a chance."

Qi Kai thought to himself.

He really felt that if he gave up like this, he would feel too cowardly. He didn't want to give up like this, and he wanted to fight again.

Although the top public figures are already the top few in Chinese entertainment, Qi Kai feels that he is still not the kind of international superstar who influences several countries. He is not without a chance.

It is already January, and this year's Spring Festival is on February 6th.

There is only one month left before the traditional Chinese New Year.

And the Spring Festival must be a holiday, relatives and friends gather together, and after a year of work, it is time to enjoy.

Watching movies is a good pastime, which is also the origin of the Spring Festival period. After decades of development, the Spring Festival period has become the largest film market in China, attracting countless people inside and outside the circle every year.

And this year, there are two movies that are most discussed, one is Tan Yue's "The Wreath Under the Mountain" and the other is Shen Chenglin's "The Moon is Coming".

"The Wreath Under the Mountain" appeared suddenly, and it was close to the Spring Festival period, and it was revealed that it would be released during the Spring Festival period. The "Moon is Coming" by the well-known director Shen Chenglin has been very popular from the beginning, and it has been scheduled to be released during this year's Spring Festival period a few months ago.

Many science fiction fans and Shen Chenglin's fans have been looking forward to this movie for a long time.

Before, almost many people believed that this year's Spring Festival champion would be Shen Chenglin's "The Moon is Coming".

I just didn't expect Tan Yue to suddenly come out.

With the brilliant achievements of "Wolf Warrior 2", no one dares to underestimate Tan Yue now. Although TV directors and movie directors are both directors, they are also two different fields, and of course the gap is not that big.

But most of the directors who switched from TV directors to movie directors almost all failed in the first few movies they shot.

Because they are used to shooting TV series and are not used to the shooting method of movies.

When Tan Yue was shooting "Wolf Warrior 2", many people were not optimistic about Tan Yue, thinking that Tan Yue would follow the old path of most TV directors, and at least he would have to make a few movies before he could find the right way.

But no one expected that Tan Yue, who only shot his first movie, would make the movie a hit. The box office performance of "Wolf Warrior 2" once ranked among the top box office of Chinese movies.

So most people are in a wait-and-see attitude towards Tan Yue's "The Wreath under the Mountain".

If there is a movie that will threaten Shen Chenglin's "The Moon is Coming" during the Spring Festival this year, it is most likely "The Wreath Under the Mountain". If "The Wreath Under the Mountain" is not well made, then "The Moon is Coming" will most likely become the champion of this year's Spring Festival.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a dark horse movie will suddenly jump out, and this situation has not happened in previous years.

Beijing, Guangmei Entertainment Company Building.

In the office of the great director Shen Chenglin.

Shen Chenglin sat behind his desk, with his hands crossed on the table, looking at the computer in front of him with a serious expression.

On the computer, there is a report about "The Wreath Under the Mountain".

As one of the top directors in the film industry, Shen Chenglin has always been confident in himself. Even when facing old guys like Sun Daohao and Zhang Baihao who have been in the film industry for decades, Shen Chenglin is not afraid at all. He has this pride.

Now facing Tan Yue who came out halfway, Shen Chenglin is still confident in his movie, but he still attaches great importance to Tan Yue.

A person's reputation is the shadow of a tree.

Tan Yue is now at the top of the list in terms of popularity, fame, and influence in China, and no one can ignore it.

Moreover, the achievements of Tan Yue's previous works are all heavy and fruitful.

"I thought I could relax during this year's Spring Festival, but I didn't expect that Tan Yue would come out again."

"Tsk tsk, there are many more twists and turns than expected to win the championship easily."

"But it doesn't matter. If you win the Spring Festival championship easily, people will think it has no gold content."

"In this case, you can use Tan Yue as a stepping stone."

"But how is his new movie? This guy is too low-key. There is no news at all. There are only a few promotional posters, and there are no shooting clips or tidbits."

"I hope I won't capsize in the gutter and fall on this young man."

Shen Chenglin shook his head.

Perhaps because this movie was co-produced with the army, Tan Yue paid great attention to confidentiality. From the beginning of filming of "The Wreath Under the Mountain" to its upcoming release, there was overwhelming publicity on the Internet, but there was only one poster, not even a promotional clip.

This made Shen Chenglin feel uncertain.

I am not afraid of a strong opponent, I am afraid of not knowing the opponent.

Shen Chenglin took a breath and thought to himself, "The results of "Wolf Warrior 2" are too high. Tan Yue's new movie is shrouded in the shadow of "Wolf Warrior 2". I think many netizens will also regard this "Garland Under the Mountain" "Compared with "Wolf Warrior 2", "Garland Under the Mountain" has a high probability of being a bad movie."

This is not Shen Chenglin's illogical self-comfort, but an inherent law in the entertainment industry.

A director makes a type of movie popular, and if he happens to make the same movie again, there is a high probability that he will stop making movies.

This happens too many times.

Shen Chenglin was also curious about this situation before and specifically asked several directors who had experienced this situation. In the end, even the directors did not know why this happened.

Those directors said that they obviously used the same filming techniques and similar plots, almost copying the original popular movies, but the weird thing is like this, one movie was a hit, with a box office of billions; the other movie went to grandma's house , the box office failed to exceed 100 million.

Shen Chenglin didn't say that Tan Yue would be in the same situation, but he did think so in his heart.

"Wolf Warrior 2" became an instant hit, which made Tan Yue feel that he was good and he could make this type of movie well.

But actually, he can't.

Shen Chenglin slowly raised his hands and stretched.

"No matter how much you think about it now, it's all in vain. Just wait, we'll find out naturally when the time comes."

Time passes day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the new year is approaching.

Many people who work in other places have also returned to their hometowns.

Students also have free time during the holidays.

There are many figures on the streets of the town and in milk tea shops, which are rarely seen in ordinary times.

The Spring Festival movies are released starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year. Before the Chinese New Year, many people start talking about the Spring Festival movies.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, reservations were made for purchasing tickets for Spring Festival movies.

The movie market has a strong Spring Festival flavor.

"Damn it, this ticket is so hard to get. As soon as I went online, my ticket was gone. How many night owls are there squatting to grab tickets?"

"Yes, a group of sixth graders, my wife and I grabbed tickets for the New Year's Day together, and we only managed to grab three tickets. It was too difficult."

"Eh? You and your wife, how come you still managed to grab three tickets? OK, I asked why you couldn't grab the tickets. It turns out that you and your wife were the ones who stole them."

"It's not like we don't have tickets. Except for "Moon Down" and "Wreaths Under the Mountain," all other movies still have tickets."

"I really just want to watch "Moonrise" and "Wreaths Under the Mountain". What's the point of other movies?"

"I don't care, but my girlfriend insists on watching these two movies, which makes me very embarrassed now."

"It's the same for me. My blind date is also pestering me to watch these two movies, and it has to be on the first day of the new year. Damn it, we're not dating. I'll change to the next one. It's really a shame for her."

"Brother upstairs, it's not that big of a deal. If a girl goes on a blind date with you, why don't you make her a little temperamental? Forget about coaxing her. You should also give her some advice. You can also watch her on the second or third day of the lunar new year."

The Internet is abuzz with discussions about Spring Festival movies.

Many netizens who did not buy "Moonfall" and "Wreaths Under the Mountain" are complaining.

Many netizens who grabbed tickets for these two movies posted screenshots of their successful purchases.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year.

Many people drive to the cinema early in the morning. Although they go a little early, they can also go shopping.

Haizhou, a coffee shop in the urban area.

Shang Xiaoyan was sitting in a seat by the window, looking at the smiling young lovers outside the glass window, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.

They all live in pairs, but she is the only one who has graduated from college and doesn't even have a boyfriend yet.

Shang Xiaoyan is not ugly, and she was even the class star in the class before. She just focused on her studies when she was in school, and she looked down on ordinary boys and had high standards, so slowly, she has been Stay single.

"Xiaoyan."

Suddenly, a voice pulled Shang Xiaoyan out of his daze.

Shang Xiaoyan turned around and saw a young man with a crew cut walking towards him with a smile.

The young man's name is Wang Chao, and he is Shang Xiaoyan's classmate in elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Because they have been classmates for so long, the two of them have a very good relationship.

Every time Shang Xiaoyan returns to her hometown, Wang Chao, who has stayed in Haizhou as a math teacher in a middle school, will invite Shang Xiaoyan to play together.

"Wang Chao, why are you so slow this time? I've been waiting for you for ten minutes." Shang Xiaoyan looked down at the time and complained to Wang Chao.

If they were ordinary friends, Shang Xiaoyan would not say this, but the two have known each other for more than ten years. Wang Chao can be said to be Shang Xiaoyan's best friend. Shang Xiaoyan does not have too many worries when speaking, because she knows that Wang Chao Not very angry.

Sure enough, Wang Chao scratched his head, sat across from Shang Xiaoyan, and said: "When I came out, a neighbor came to the house and talked for a while, otherwise I would have been there long ago."

When two people came out before, Wang Chao was waiting for Shang Xiaoyan.

Shang Xiaoyan smiled, took a sip of coffee, and said: "Wang Chao, what's the fun in calling me out on the first day of the new year? If there is no fun, I can't spare you."

In fact, Shang Xiaoyan also knew something. Wang Chao liked her. He had expressed his intentions to her before when he was drunk, but Shang Xiaoyan declined them all.

It's okay to be friends, it's okay to be good friends, but Shang Xiaoyan really doesn't want to be together.

One reason is that Shang Xiaoyan is now working in the capital, and Wang Chao has been admitted to the school at home and has a stable job. Shang Xiaoyan does not want to come back, and Wang Chao will not have a good job if he goes to the capital.

Of course, a more important reason is that Shang Xiaoyan really didn't call Wang Chao.

Wang Chao listened to Shang Xiaoyan's words, thought for a while, and said, "How about we go to the beach?"

Hearing Wang Chao's suggestion, Shang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Teacher Wang Chao, you want to take me to the beach in such a cold weather? Tell me, do you sincerely want me to catch a cold? You know that I always Afraid of the cold, you still want to take me to the beach, with bad intentions.”

Wang Chao chuckled, a little embarrassed, and he just made the suggestion casually.

Shang Xiaoyan held her chin in her hands and turned to look at the couples outside, so envious.

At this time, Wang Chao said: "How about we go see a movie?"

Shang Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows, still a little listless, and said: "Watch a movie? This is a good suggestion, but I don't like watching other movies. It's a waste of time and boring."

Wang Chao asked: "Which movie do you want to watch?"

Shang Xiaoyan said: "I want to watch "Moonfall", but as far as I know, this science fiction film directed by Shen Chenglin is very popular. I ran out of movie tickets for the New Year's Day early. Forget it, I'll start the class anyway. Let’s go back to the capital to see it.”

After Shang Xiaoyan finished speaking, she saw Wang Chao's face stiffen.

Wang Chao grinned and said: "Xiaoyan, do you want to watch "Garland Under the Mountain"? This movie is also very good. Movie tickets are harder to get than "Moonfall" tickets, and the director of this drama is Tan Yue, you should know about his previous movie "Wolf Warrior 2", which was a hit! The actors in this movie are all veteran actors, so it's worth watching!"

Shang Xiaoyan shook her head and said: "I don't want to watch it. I don't like military movies. It's too boring with heavy gunfire. I haven't even watched "Wolf Warrior 2"."

After finishing speaking, Shang Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows, looked at Wang Chao with some surprise, and asked doubtfully: "Teacher Wang Chao, have you bought the tickets for "Wreaths Under the Mountain"?"

Listening to Wang Chao's tone, Shang Xiaoyan seemed to be encouraging her to watch "Garland Under the Mountain".

Shang Xiaoyan's appraising eyes fell on Wang Chao, causing Wang Chao to reveal an awkward yet polite smile.
