Chapter 716: There Are No Idle People in the Company, and There Is Always a Way Out? There Is No Fairness in the Film and Television Industry

On the second day of the release of "Tiny Times 3", with the first-day box office result of 112 million, Guo Jingming's fans directly made bold statements:

"This result means that Guo Jingming will officially launch a charge towards the billion-box office director club, and at the same time, his personal box office total in his directorial career will also successfully exceed 1 billion!"

"From a writer to a director, Guo Jingming's road is full of hardships, but there are flowers on both sides of the road."

"From now on, no one will be qualified to judge the results of the "Tiny Times" series of movies!"

It has to be said that the first-day box office result of 112 million really covered up the abuse of countless people in the industry, and it is no wonder that Guo Jingming's fans made bold statements online.

On this day, many mocking and abusive voices were suppressed by his fans, and even the popularity of "Big Fish and Begonia" was suppressed a lot.

However, as a fan-oriented movie, "Tiny Times 3" cannot escape the "fate" of fan movies, that is, the first-day box office is the highest single-day box office.

Even though the whole network was hyping it up, the theme song of "Tiny Times 3" was sung by "top star" Wu Yifan, but it still couldn't make up for its decline.

After the box office broke 100 million on the first day, the next day, Friday, its single-day box office plummeted by 40 million, closing at only 70.69 million.

At the same time, a large number of negative reviews also emerged.

"This may be the worst movie I have seen this year. This movie is simply a farce! Especially the chase scene on the streets of Rome at the beginning of the film, several powerless female protagonists can go to heaven and earth. This is too exaggerated and too out of touch with reality, right?"

"My goodness, the makeup and styling of the third part are even more shocking. Why is Yang Mi so ugly? Even wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and double chins appear? And Chen Xuedong's blonde hair, golden eyebrows, and golden eyelashes make him look like a nouveau riche in the urban-rural fringe."

"Haha, is there really no bottom line for the money to attract fans? I am so happy. In order to attract Wu Yifan's fans, he actually The easter egg added at the end of the film reads "Wu Yifan sings "Time Cooks Rain", which really opened my eyes!"

"Fuck, that mixed-race male star Lee Hyun-jae is like a piece of wood, he can't even speak standard Mandarin, and he still comes to act?"

"I've turned from a fan to a passerby, I feel that the plot is getting more and more boring, a few girls keep quarreling, breaking up, fighting, kissing, and reconciling because of men or careers, and they keep using such routines over and over again, which is really boring, and the plot of the third part is too weak, right?"

Faced with these doubts on the Internet, those fans who have been completely crazy don't care at all, anyway, they just angrily criticize.

The daily new box office has indeed dropped, but in their opinion, this is because today is a working day.

Some fans even made bold statements: "Wait until Saturday and Sunday, and let you see what the box office appeal of "Tiny Times" is!"

Chen Fei wanted to laugh when he saw these news, these fans are really too stubborn.

However, he was actually quite curious. What kind of magic potion did Guo Jingming give to these people? How could these fans be so devoted to him?

Just as he was thinking about it, a phone call suddenly came in.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations, the first day box office was 89.65 million, this animated film was successful again!"

Chen Fei knew what Wang Changtian was talking about. This data was the first day box office performance of "Big Fish and Begonia".

Compared with the various noises and doubts about "Tiny Times 3", "Big Fish and Begonia" is much more stable.

Looking around, whether it is Douban or Maoyan and other platforms, more than 95% of the comments on this movie are positive.

"It is a classic work of Feiyue Film and Television! Compared with The Return of the Great Sage, the pictures of Big Fish and Begonia are even more exquisite. Almost every frame reaches the aesthetic level of the posters and stills. It is simply amazing!"

"The proportion of the characters' movements is coordinated, and the creation of light and shadow, atmosphere and color is very delicate. The soundtrack is the best of the best. It is so beautiful! It is just like swimming in a landscape painting."

"It was only after watching the movie that I realized that the idea of ​​this film actually came from Zhuangzi's "There is a fish in the North Sea, its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is." It combines the elements of ancient Chinese culture with fantasy stories. The screenwriter is very talented!"

Chen Fei is still quite fortunate. Thanks to his improvement of the script of Big Fish and Begonia, many problems were avoided, and a qualified answer was delivered.

For this script, he stayed up for several nights at that time.

Those unclear plots, such as Chun's process of resurrecting Kun and raising fish, were all added with sufficient foreshadowing and explanation by him.

He also worked hard to improve the rhythm control, line design, plot depth, character creation, overall style, etc.

Such serious and careful filling and improvement can be regarded as making up for Chen Fei's inner regrets.

He believes that as long as the work is created from the perspective of the audience, the final result will not be too bad.

And this "Big Fish and Begonia" is the best proof.

It may not be as promising as "The Return of the Great Sage", but it will definitely be a qualified work.

After exchanging a few words with Wang Changtian, Chen Fei took the initiative to ask: "You called here, are you here to congratulate me?"

"Haha, there is indeed another thing."

Wang Changtian explained: "I just thought that you helped me make a lot of money before, and now there is a good opportunity, I also want to give back and repay you."

Chen Fei was very curious: "Oh? What good opportunity?"

"We are going to make another youth film based on the youth novel "Left Ear". We will let Su Youpeng direct it and look for those youth idol artists with a large number of fans..."

No need to guess, Guangguang has tasted the sweetness of youth-themed movies and is ready to reproduce "My Deskmate".

Let's not talk about who to choose as the actor, just the fact that Su Youpeng is directing can attract many fans.

However, Chen Fei still shook his head and refused: "Mr. Wang, I know you are doing this for my own good, but you should know that I really have no interest in youth films."

"I was thinking that there are still many actors in your company."

After thinking for a while, Chen Fei responded: "To be honest, there are actually no free artists."

Wang Changtian was stunned at first, and then asked in disbelief: "You...are you going to start a new project again?"

"Well, for three TV series projects, most of the contracted artists in the company have already been decided."

"..."

When Wang Changtian finally hung up the phone, he almost became autistic.

He really couldn't understand why Feiyue Film and Television was so productive?

Whether it was a movie or a TV series project, they seemed to have never been short of it. As long as they wanted to shoot, there would always be a lot of scripts waiting.

He actually wanted to inquire about it, but then he thought that this seemed to be someone else's business secret and was not suitable for such a straightforward inquiry.

Helpless, he could only do it.

In fact, there is no trick in this. It's nothing more than a large number of copyrights of works + a professional screenwriter team, which is very common in Hollywood.

But in China, Feiyue Film and Television can be said to be the only one!

The reason is that no film and television production company can afford a screenwriter team of hundreds of people, as well as the large-scale copyright purchase expenses.

…

In a blink of an eye, another new Saturday has quietly arrived.

Just as "Tiny Times 3" and "Big Fish and Begonia" officially started fighting, there were several more news in the film and television industry.

"Left Ear", the debut film directed by Su Youpeng and exclusively produced by Guangguang, was officially launched today. The casting will start in three days, and the female lead will be selected in the form of "open auditions."

"The film "Macau Wind and Cloud 2", jointly produced by Yinghuang and Feiyue Film and Television, has officially started shooting in Hong Kong, and Jing Tian and Chow Yun-fat made a surprise appearance at the start-up site."

"According to statistics, the number of people who have participated in the audition of the female lead of "The Mermaid" has reached 120,000, and the value of "Star Girls" is still rising."

These three sudden reports directly ignited the passion of the film and television industry.

Since the successful establishment of the project of "The Mermaid", the word "open audition" has been mentioned repeatedly, and even became a hot search topic on Weibo.

Now, "Left Ear" once again uses "open audition", which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for many young actresses in the industry.

Companies with brokerage business such as Tangren and Chengtian immediately contacted Guangguang, hoping to make internal recommendations.

At the same time, the industry was also shocked by the number of "Star Girl" candidates as high as "120,000".

Many people simply cannot imagine what it would be like if 120,000 people competed for a role at the same time?

It is conceivable that when the last "first-place" actress appears, she will definitely become famous overnight, and even shine in the domestic entertainment industry!

However, Zhou Xingchi's current focus is still on the auditions of other leading actors.

After all, there are a full 120,000 people. If he goes to the scene to audition in person, he will be exhausted and can't try.

In his plan, he will only participate in the audition and personally select the leading actress when there are less than a hundred people left at the end.

Chen Fei also received his audition invitation.

Zhou Xingchi hopes that he can be present at the final stage of determining the role.

Chen Fei did not refuse, but did not immediately agree.

Because he did not know what he would be doing at that time.

If he has time, he will go, but if he does not have time, then he has to apologize.

At the same time, many people have paid attention to the news of the start of filming of "The Man from Macau 2".

However, compared with the mainland, the focus of Hong Kong media is all on a piece of news revealed by Yang Shoucheng at the film opening ceremony.

He publicly stated: "After the filming of "The Man from Macau 2" is completed, the preparations for "Ip Man 4" will be officially launched."

A reporter at the scene asked him: "Will Zhao Wenzhuo be chosen for "Ip Man 4" this time? Or will Zhen Zixuan be invited to return?"

In the face of this question, Yang Shoucheng laughed and asked: "What do you think?"

Although he did not give a clear answer, everyone knew very well that the person who played Ip Man would definitely be Zhao Wenzhuo.

As for Zhen Zixuan, he had already pulled his trouser pockets.

…

Since the box office success of "Ip Man 3", the industry has recognized a fact.

As long as the quality of a movie is good, no actor is irreplaceable, even if this person is the protagonist.

Especially those action actors who don't rely on acting skills to make a living, because there is never a shortage of better fighters in this circle.

The same is true for those vase actors who have no acting skills and only have a pretty face, because there are always vases that are more stunning than you.

Zhen Zixuan never thought that after "Ip Man 3" ended, there would be "Ip Man 4"!

And it seems that there will be 5, 6, and 7 in the future.

Under such circumstances, his choice to stand on the side of Huaxia Star was undoubtedly stupid.

Especially with the fall of the two brothers of the Xiang family, it further proves how stupid his behavior was at the beginning!

But now the matter is done, and there is no point in saying more.

In addition to regret, he can only choose to go far away and look for new acting opportunities outside.

Chen Long and Li Lianjie are old, but he is now in his prime, and he may find some opportunities to rise in Hollywood.

However, just as Zhen Zixuan was packing his luggage, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

After taking a look at the caller ID, he quickly pressed the dial button and shouted with some shame: "Mother... I'm sorry, I let you down."

On the other end of the phone, Mai Baochan sighed: "It's my fault too. I didn't warn you in time."

Zhen Zixuan just kept silent. He was an adult and naturally had to be responsible for his actions.

But the next second, he heard his mother say in a rather excited tone: "Zixuan, don't leave yet. I said hello to Heping and he promised to give you a chance.

You can try again. His new work is very famous. Maybe it can turn the situation around."

Yuan Heping? New work?

Zhen Zixuan was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up instantly: "Mother, are you talking about the "Blue Destiny Sword"?

"That's right!"

Mai Baochan responded firmly. This was also her last effort for her son.

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Zixuan threw the suitcase directly and laughed up to the sky!

Sure enough, there is always a way out!

…

As soon as Saturday passed, Guo Jingming's fans were slapped in the face.

Because on Saturday, the daily new box office of "Tiny Times 3" not only did not increase, but fell by 15 million.

On the other hand, the daily new box office of "Big Fish and Begonia" broke through from 89 million to 123 million, successfully surpassing.

Guo Jingming's fans were immediately broken.

Coincidentally, the premiere ceremony of "See You Tomorrow", which is about to be released, was held.

For a time, the fans of "Tiny Times 3" went directly to the official blog of "See You Tomorrow" and began to mock the latter crazily, with a tone full of contempt and disdain.

The movie directed by Han Han has not been released yet, but in their mouths, it has become synonymous with bad movies.

At the same time, several movies that started the summer competition are still being screened.

However, the daily new box office of "The Breakup Master" has fallen below the 5 million mark, and it is not far from being taken off the screen.

On the other hand, "Transformers 4" has reached 1.9 billion box office. Although the daily box office has dropped a lot, it is still more than 20 million.

Under such circumstances, breaking the 2 billion box office is just around the corner.

As for the other "Old Boy: Way of the Dragon" directed by Xiao Yang, it is a little worse. With the release of many movies, its screening volume is almost cut.

Although the total box office has exceeded 150 million, the daily new box office is only 5 million.

If there is a powerful distribution company that can help, it may still have the hope of selling well, but unfortunately, it chose LeTV.

Boss Jia is very boastful, but if he is really asked to do things, he can only do a little bit of work.

...

A sudden announcement issued by China Film has made many film and television production companies in the industry curse.

"Reprinted from the official website of the Film Bureau: The extension key application submitted by the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Transformers 4" meets the relevant conditions, and the release time will be further extended for one month after the 27th."

When seeing this news, whether it is a movie that is currently in theaters or a movie that will be released in August, almost all of them are wailing.

The appearance of this imported sci-fi blockbuster is originally a "disaster" for domestic films.

But now, this "disaster" not only cannot end as scheduled, but also ushered in a notice of extension.

Isn't this obviously going to hit domestic films hard?

You know, there are still many imported blockbusters ready to be released in August!

It's already difficult, and now that the extension notice has been issued, it is undoubtedly even more difficult!

"Fuck? Why? Why can this imported film pass the extension application? But domestic films can't? What's the reason? They shout about pursuing fairness all day long, but where is the fairness?"

The heads of companies such as Huayi, Bona, and LeTV are all spraying behind their backs.

Especially Wang Zhonglei, who has nowhere to vent his anger at this moment.

Back then, when "Personal Customization" applied for the extension key, it was tricked by the Film Bureau and rejected on the grounds that it did not meet the application conditions.

And now, an imported science fiction blockbuster like "Transformers 4" has been approved, which is undoubtedly a slap in their face!

Looking at his angry brother, Wang Zhongjun was not too angry.

"There is no fairness in the film and television industry. I think you know this better than me."

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei fell silent.

That's the fact. Huayi itself is also doing "unfair" things on weekdays. He has no right to say these two words.

Just then, the office door was suddenly knocked, and the female secretary pushed the door and walked in.

"Director Wang, Director Guan Hu and Director Feng Xiaogang are here."

Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun's eyes lit up: "Please ask them to go to the reception room, I'll be there soon."

A new project is coming again, which means that the company's stock price will rise again, which is undoubtedly a very good news for him and the company.
