Chapter 581 New Year's Eve

Yang Xiaomi's wedding did not cause much response in the circle. Except for Brother Hu, no one from Wan Chong Shan went.

It was the end of the year in a flash.

On the 30th of the year, Mr. Zhou's villa.

Chen Ting, Zeng Li, Yan Danchen, and Mr. Zhou were the chefs. Liu Tianxian, Da Tiantian, Zhang Meng, and Na Zha helped.

Shen Lang, Huang Xiaoming, Lao Mouzi, Qiao Shan, Hua Zai, Huang Bin, Chen Daomin, and Wang Gang gathered together to play mahjong, some played mahjong, and some played poker.

"It's time to eat." Mr. Zhou shouted with his hands on his waist.

Shen Lang looked at Master Zhou and couldn't help but joked: "Master Zhou is exhausted."

"That's right, it's rare for me to cook, I'm exhausted."

Hua Zai stood up and said with a smile: "It's my honor to let Master Zhou cook."

Everyone came to the restaurant, and the table was full of delicious food, lobsters, king crabs, and various seafood, steamed, boiled, and fried, which was particularly rich.

Shen Lang took out Romanee-Conti: "It's the New Year this year, let's have something good."

Huang Xiaoming's eyes were straight: "Fuck, why are you so generous today, this bottle costs hundreds of thousands."

Huang Xiaoming was very confused about Shen Lang's sudden generosity.

The Bathing Emperor was stunned looking at the red wine in front of him: "How much is this bottle?"

Shen Lang nodded: "It's worth 800,000 now, I got it from Wang Dacong for free."

Huang Xiaoming rolled his eyes: "I said, why are you so generous, well, let's drink something good today."

Shen Lang picked up the wine glass: "Happy New Year to everyone, let's not talk about anything else, let's eat, drink and have fun tonight, we have an important task tomorrow."

Lao Mouzi suddenly said: "Isn't it auspicious for us to release it on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

"Director Zhang, what you said is that ours is an adventure story of tomb robbing and treasure hunting, which has nothing to do with ghosts and gods, and there is no need to explicitly write that there are ghosts in it, Don't worry, those are all feudal superstitions. I just believe in myself. You may not know that the box office of Ghost Blows Out the Light is preheating. There are more than 15 million people who want to watch it on Meituan alone. This movie will definitely be a hit. "

Lao Mouzi was surprised when he heard this: "So many?"

Shen Lang nodded: "Originally, my book fans are the first in the entire network. You are the director, Andy Lau is the male No. 1, the female No. 1 is Tianxian, and I am the producer. This combination, spending a few dozen yuan to watch a blockbuster during the Chinese New Year, is worthwhile. Now it has become popular to watch movies during the Chinese New Year in the past two years. I also put up 1 million 9.9 movie tickets on Meituan, which is not a lot,"

Lao Mouzi nodded when he heard this, and the string in his heart was loosened.

Shen Lang looked at Lao Mouzi with a slight smile on his lips. He knew why Lao Mouzi was so worried.

"Director Zhang, the three shots weren't your fault. Don't think about it anymore. Ghost Blows Out the Light will definitely give you a beautiful comeback."

Lao Mouzi smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "As I get older, I care more and more about my reputation. I'm really afraid of being scolded. If I hadn't been filming some time ago, I wouldn't know where to hide. There were reports every day, and reporters specifically asked me to interview them. I didn't have the face to speak."

Chen Daomin took a sip of wine and said faintly: "People make mistakes, horses stumble, and if you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet. Director Zhang, you care too much about your reputation."

Shen Lang... Good guy, Teacher Chen, don't you cherish your feathers more...

Wang Gang smiled and said: "You are old, and you can't escape this reputation. In fact, it's because Director Zhang, you are in too high a position. As long as you do something wrong, you will be criticized. After all, you are the number one in China."

Lao Mouzi waved his hand: "What No. 1 or not, the boss is still sitting here, he is the No. 1 in the domestic box office. "

Shen Lang said hurriedly: "Don't, I am just an ordinary person, I know my own weight, I can do business, make commercial films, but if you really want me to do art, to do heights, my ideological realm is really not good enough, Director Zhang, your generation of directors is different from us, you really have ideas, we are just superficial when filming, really can't compare, I know what I am like. "

Hua Zai nodded: "I agree with this, but now people watch dramas, and they don't like to use their brains and talk about big principles. They all like the kind of saliva dramas, funny ones. The times are changing. Sometimes I don't understand why the film market is getting higher and higher, but the cultural heritage is getting worse and worse. "

Shen Lang picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank the fine wine in it, and then slammed the glass heavily on the table, making a crisp sound. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of disdain and anger in his eyes.

"Humph! In this world, there will always be people who buy into a good movie! As long as the quality is high enough, there will be no need to worry about no one supporting it. But what about now? Those so-called big productions and big movies are hyped up loudly during the promotion, as if they are leading the trend of the entire film and television industry. But when the movie is officially released, everyone goes to the cinema with great expectations, only to find that it is just so-so! The quality is mediocre, the actors' acting skills are also mediocre, the pictures are nothing new, and the plot is so old-fashioned that it makes people doze off. This is not a big movie at all, it is simply a waste of the audience's time and money!" Shen Lang became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up suddenly and waved his hands in the air, as if he wanted to grab something.

“In the final analysis, it’s not that the aesthetic level of us movie fans has declined, but that too many people are obsessed with money. In order to make a little quick money, they cater to some vulgar tastes by any means and start to desperately train the audience to appreciate those shitty things. They don’t care about the artistic value and cultural connotation of the works themselves, but only think about how to attract attention in the cheapest way and make a lot of money. If this continues, what hope is there for our film and television industry?”
