Chapter 929 Another Movie Breaks One Billion (55)

Huang Bo is quite suitable for variety shows.

People with high emotional intelligence speak for themselves - no matter what they do, there will always be comments below: high emotional intelligence!

As for variety shows consuming actors...

Anyway, he decided to take on the variety show. It doesn’t matter whether he consumes it or not. Instead of letting other programs consume it, he might as well do it himself.

And to be honest, the fact that he almost fell behind has nothing to do with variety shows. You must know that in more than 10 years since he became famous in "Crazy Stone" in 2006, he has become a national actor and a box office attraction, maintaining both quality and quantity.

At that stage, China's economy was booming. He represented a grassroots counterattack image, which was very down-to-earth and had a wide audience.

But when the economy reached a high point and consumption upgraded, his image gradually found no suitable landing place...

Shen Teng's comedy style also has a more urban atmosphere than him.

Lei Jiayin is more suitable for various life-themed films than him.

Thousands of sails are passing by on the side of a sinking ship. Acting is the same as any other profession. It has to move forward with the times. There is no saying that it can rest on its laurels.

Once you slack off or roll up not smart enough, you will fall behind!

Still, the acting was wrong - a man who was clearly suitable for playing low-level grassroots roles has taken on many roles that have a strong sense of middle-class elites in recent years. The result is that both sides are not pleased and neither side buys it.

In fact, the reason why he fell behind was simple: he didn't want to play a clown!

There is a saying in the Liyuan industry that "a young actor is a good actor, but a pure actor is an ugly actor". Different people play different roles. There are protagonists and supporting roles, literary dramas and martial arts, niche actors and actresses, so that the drama will be good to watch. Every actor has his own position, and it cannot be changed just by hard work.

However, it is quite embarrassing for an actor who can meet and talk with the French President to play a buffoon...

Coming back, Huang Bo asked about the copyright issue of "Infinite Challenge". Shen Xudong was not very clear about it, so he simply called Wang Xiaohui and asked.

Wang Xiaohui made it clear that the copyright for "Infinite Challenge" has been obtained and is ready to be launched in the second quarter! ’

Shen Xudong quickly asked: "What about Dragon TV's "Extreme Challenge"?"

"So, we have to get ahead of them..."

"I understand... Huang Bo is quite interested!"

"Teacher Huang Bo... OK, I'll discuss it with them..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong said to Huang Bo: "Don't accept Dragon TV's "Extreme Challenge" anymore. They didn't buy the copyright... In the eyes of the public, it's plagiarism!"

"Then... PPTV's homemade variety show?"

"Don't worry, since I said I would invite you, I will never treat you badly..."

Even if the remuneration is less, it will be supplemented elsewhere, such as letting Huang Bo participate in investment...

Xu Zheng interjected: "Is it profitable to do variety shows?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "It is very profitable, but it is difficult to produce excellent variety shows!"

In the original time and space, Xu Zheng also did a variety show - "Eat on the Road".

In just one season, I made 75 million in remuneration, and then I quit!

The reason is simple: the show failed.

I'm very lucky, I finished it before the salary limit order...

"Producing variety shows is rare, especially after the birth of "Run"!"

"Run" directly brings reality shows into a more exciting era. The instant pleasure and more famous stars bring stronger excitement to the audience. If subsequent reality shows want to break through the former, they need to innovate in the model.

Therefore, variety shows similar to "Running Man" will not work, including "Challengers", which was created with a lot of money...

…

After chatting about variety shows for a while, Xu Zheng changed the subject and asked Shen Xudong if he had any plans to continue "囧"...

"It depends on whether you have the motivation..."

"Continue to add more ingredients?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "The routine of road movies is nothing more than traveling to a foreign land for a certain purpose, trying to use external environmental conflicts to solve the protagonist's internal anxieties or conflicts..."

"It would be better if this contradiction is the protagonist's internal anxiety, but this is too deep and time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, commercial popcorn movies choose an external contradiction instead."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong asked: "'囧' has already taken this genre to the extreme, how do you want to add more ingredients?"

"That…"

Xu Zheng was also a little confused. Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I told you before to take the realist route. You can play a white-collar worker who was deceived by the public and felt that Somalia is a paradise on earth..."

“How stupid am I to think that Somalia is paradise on earth?”

"Universal medical care in Somalia!" Shen Xudong smiled: "Some people on the Internet say that 190 countries in the world have free medical care!"

Huang Bo couldn't listen anymore: "190? How many countries does the United Nations have?"

Xu calculated: "There are 193 countries. It is known that China is not and the United States is not, so which country is the third country?"

Shen Xudong laughed again: "They will tell you that it is a country among Cuba and North Korea. It's all Ah Dou's fault anyway!"

"Ha ha…"

"Ning Hao found six new directors and planned to make a "See It Yourself" platter movie... You can ask him..."

Xu Zheng was surprised: "Six new directors?"

"Yes, I don't even know where you got it!"

"...He has been following..."

Huang Bo just spoke. Shen Xudong's cell phone rang. He checked and saw that it was Chen Xi calling: "I'll answer the call first!"

Xu Zheng and Huang Bo watched him leave the box, and then started discussing in low voices...

…

The content of the phone call was very simple, in one sentence: "One Shot to the End" has exceeded one billion!

It exceeded 1 billion in 17 days of release, breaking the record of "囧囧"...

"Then you ask the official accounts of "Wolong" and "囧囧" to post a handover picture..."

"Back then, the films of Spielberg and George Lucas alternately broke box office records in the United States, and they used the championship handover ceremony... Now we have a billion handover, which is normal! By the way, it can also attract a wave of attention..."

"OK, I understand, I'll let them do it right away!"

"Well...I'll hang up then!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong was smiling all over his face and was about to speak when Huang Bo answered directly: "Has "One Shot to the End" exceeded one billion?"

"...You...how do you know?"

"Yesterday it was 974 million. Today is Saturday. It's not a big problem to get 30 to 40 million..."

"...Then have you called Ning Hao?"

Huang Bo shook his head: "I sent a text message... don't worry, wait until he finishes the promotion!"

Xu Zheng paid more attention to another movie: "What about "Twelve Zodiac Signs"?"

"Around 430 million... the movie "Zodiac" still has some momentum!"

"Brother Cheng still has charisma!"

"...There is no talent in this generation... Let's not talk about this anymore, Xu Zheng, what do you want to ask?"

Xu Zheng looked around and then asked, "Director Shen, don't we have any female characters in this play?"

"Yes... yes, last month, Zeng Li came over to guest star for a week... No, why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious..."

Huang Bo simply asked him a question: "We just discussed that this crew doesn't even have a woman, how do you meet the demand?"

"When filming, I devote myself to the crew and filming. How can I think about these things..." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "When you were filming "Thailand", did you have a good time?"

"No, I just found a few local staff members to come to the set and hold a few parties!"
