Chapter 128: Last Chance [Ask for a Subscription! Ask for a Monthly Pass!]
Hand slippery?
Slip your hand, your sister!
Huang Zhixuan wanted to scold, but when he looked up and saw Liu Dong's eyes, he couldn't help but shrink back.
"Uncle ......"
"Forget it, it's not your fault. ”
Liu Dong waved his hand and said, "I came up with the idea, but I didn't expect that guy to be so cowardly and shake you out." ”
He didn't expect that his nephew would be stupid enough to come forward in person.
"During this time, you take over the work and avoid the limelight. ”
"Uncle, I ......"
"What are you, don't you think it's messy enough now?"
He scolded: "Lu Ban and Gu Qiao, I will find a way to deal with it, you are not suitable to appear in Starlight now, after all, the company is not mine, I still have a big boss above me, and the boss also has to consider the interests of Starlight, the company needs to develop, we have been blocked by other entertainment companies this year, and there are a bunch of artists below who want to terminate the contract, and now the top priority is to keep the company." ”
"Don't worry, when I have my hands free, I'll find a way to kill them. ”
Liu Dong's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness.
……
Eric Spoo was a little depressed.
He originally wanted to use his stay in China to create some news for "Global Arrival", and by the way, he could help "Global Arrival" maintain its No. 1 position at the box office.
Unexpectedly, in the past two days, the Internet has been full of news about a female artist named Gu Qiao releasing a new song.
As a result, netizens' attention to the box office has been diverted.
It's okay if you don't have attention.
But he found out that there was a shadow named Lu Ban in the recent hot search news.
Isn't Lu Ban a director?
How did you get involved with the singer?
After verification, he found out that the singer who had become popular recently sang the song that was actually written by Lu Ban.
Spo wants to go straight back to the United States.
Can this make Lu Ban rub the heat?
However, this also made him more and more curious about Lu Ban.
"Help me contact Lu Ban, I want to find a chance to meet with him once. Spo said to the Chinese agent.
The agent went to do it.
As a result, a few hours later, the agent came back in a gray way.
Spoy asked what was going on.
The agent said: "Lu Ban's agent Kong Xi, the phone is turned off......
……
Kong Xi's phone was indeed turned off.
And she had no intention of turning it on at all.
At least she won't turn on the camera for a short time, because Lu Ban has made it clear that she won't write songs for any entertainment company recently.
At first, Kong Xi would politely refuse the CEOs of these entertainment companies.
After all, they are the predecessors of the entertainment industry.
But when there were more and more calls, she couldn't refuse, so she could only choose to turn off the phone.
Anyway, Lu Ban has not been short of money recently.
The jobs of other artists have also been arranged.
The company moved into a new office building, and Lu Ban had an office of his own.
He sat in his office chair and looked out the window at the torrent of steel.
The gaze is deep.
There is a sense of déjà vu that is pretended.
He picked up his mobile phone and called Gu Qiao.
Gu Qiao said, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ban smiled: "Thank you for helping me slip my hand for a while." ”
"How do you know my hands are slipping. Gu Qiao asked rhetorically.
Lu Ban said: "Because I know that you generally don't read such boring Weibo. ”
Gu Qiao was silent for a while and did not speak.
Being able to know her habits shows that Lu Ban has always known her very well.
Lu Ban asked, "How are the results of the new song?"
Gu Qiao said calmly: "It's okay." ”
Lu Ban was surprised: "It's just okay, shouldn't it be about to get the first place on the sales list?"
Gu Qiao seemed to be thinking about something, didn't speak, and said after a while: "It's this song." ”
Lu Ban nodded: "The song is good, but you sing it very well, but I think the song you sent me sings better, did you sing it to me?"
"Sort of. Gu Qiao replied ambiguously.
Lu Ban smiled: "What do you mean?" ”
Gu Qiao said lightly: "I just think that the lyrics of this song are not written correctly, once some people miss it, they may be around, but they just need to find it themselves." ”
Lu Ban understood what Gu Qiao meant.
But he didn't know how to respond, so he could only change the topic and say, "When will you go back to Dongyang?"
Gu Qiao smiled and said, "I can't go back for the time being, there will be a new song press conference here in the company, and it may take two days to be busy." ”
She paused, and then said: "And Sister Luo gave me a variety show on Mango Channel, a show called "Star Detective", I may not have time to go back recently." ”
Lu Ban knew that she would be busy lately, just to change the subject.
However, Gu Qiao said that he was going to participate in a variety show, which made him stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Wang Hongtao to be so efficient.
Lu Ban thinks it's good to be like Gu Qiao now, both of them are very busy, occasionally talk on the phone when they are free, and usually send messages on WeChat, at least they can feel each other's existence.
Feelings are such a thing.
Whatever happens.
……
Weekend.
The box office statistics are out.
Because Gu Qiao dominated the hot search on Weibo during this time, "Charlotte's Troubles" only stayed on Weibo for two days.
But even so, the box office still rose a lot.
It's only 50 million less than "Global Arrival".
Just a little bit.
"Global Arrival" did not eat the dividends of Eric Spo's arrival in China, and "Charlotte's Troubles" took advantage of it.
After all, Lu Ban also gained a wave of popularity by relying on Gu Qiao's new song.
Lu Ban's rubbing the heat is equivalent to the popularity of "Charlotte's Troubles".
"Global Arrival" has invested a lot of money in terms of publicity and production costs, and even the chief director Spo has come to China, but the box office increase is not ideal, indicating that it is saturated.
During the same period, the box office growth of other films has dropped a lot.
The Spring Festival movies have reached this point in time, and they have reached the last moment, and there is not much potential left.
Passerby A Pictures' company.
Everyone sat in the conference room, a little depressed.
This time, although the box office growth has stabilized, it still does not exceed "Global Arrival".
"Maybe I don't have a chance. Takayama sighed.
I didn't exceed it this time, I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the future.
After all, not every time you can be on the hot search, the hot search is too obvious but will cause the audience's disgust, and in the same situation, the box office growth of "Global Advent" and "Charlotte Troubles" is not much different, and it is a bit difficult to surpass each other in one fell swoop.
"It's not without chance. ”
Lu Ban said: "Teacher Gao, I need to trouble you, because this matter is only suitable for you to do." ”
"What is the only thing that is appropriate for me to do? First of all, I only sell my art, not my body. Takayama quipped.
There was a burst of laughter in the room.
Compared with the laughter of passers-by A Pictures, Starlight Entertainment is much heavier.
When Liu Dong saw the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles", he was very irritable, and he was a little happy in his irritability.
Annoyance, Lu Ban made money this time.
Since then, no one in the entertainment industry doesn't know Lu Ban, don't look at Lu Ban is only a third-tier artist now, if nothing else, after the next "Star" updates its ranking, Lu Ban will definitely enter the second tier steadily.
Fortunately, Lu Ban put in so much effort, and finally finished second at the box office.
The second is the second.
Otherwise, there would be a saying that the second millennium.
Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for "Charlotte's Troubles" to rush to the first position.
Also fortunate is the general director of "Global Arrival", Eric Spo.
He never imagined that after coming to China, he would always pay attention to a movie made with millions of dollars, and in the end, this movie would compete with "Global Arrival", which he had worked so hard to make, for the first place at the box office.
Fortunately, he was not surpassed by the other party, otherwise he would have lost face.
But thinking about the cost of millions of dollars, he has already made a lot of money, not to mention that judging from the release schedule, in fact, his movie has been lost, which has caused Spo to be depressed all the time.
He decided to go to Dongyang in person.
He wants to meet this director named Lu Ban for a while.
At this time, passers-by A Pictures' conference room.
Lu Ban picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the small blackboard behind him-
"Release a song, just once. ”
Kong Xi glanced at him deeply, this guy couldn't be stimulated by his sister's singing, right?
