Chapter 98: A Draw (2/2)
You can't run.
That night, Jiangbei carried the real ?? The forty-meter-long knife pressed the gambling king Zhang Jiuliang back to the Arcadia community, and had a family meeting with Li Youqing's family of three.
Conference Topic: Is "Mood Inn" a successful movie?
Number of participants: Jiang Bei, Li Youqing, Zhang Jiuliang.
Positive player (successful): Li Youqing.
Opponent (lost): Jiangbei.
I don't know the pros and cons: Zhang Jiuliang.
"Are you planning to cheat?" Jiang Bei made a calm face and took the lead in attacking.
"Slip~"
Li Youqing pursed his lips and sucked a mouthful of milk, his face couldn't help but be proud, and replied: "How can I cheat? You see that the box office in the first week was 127 million, and with an investment of 8 million, the 50 million giant "Ling Jian" was completed, isn't it a successful movie?"
"Don't you know where such a high box office came from? If there is no increase in the price of beef and no new airport built in Xiuhua Village, then what 'wishing wind' can blow?" Jiang Bei retorted with a frown.
"But you didn't see anyone spraying my acting skills?" Li Youqing replied with an innocent face.
Although the movie "Mood Inn" has a relatively low score on the hundred flowers, because of the foil of the movie "Ling Jian" of its peers, and the flying of the "wishing wind", it has attracted most of the audience's attention to the quality of the movie, resulting in a relatively mild evaluation of this movie. Even most fans just think that the movie is too dramatic, a bit like selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, on the contrary, the evaluation of the actors' acting skills of this drama is relatively recognized.
So this is the reason why Li Youqing refuses to admit the failure of the film.
In the final analysis, the thoughts of fans were led astray by the demonic wind of "Wishing Wind", which added a lot of metaphysical colors to the movie "Mood Inn", and they made "Mood Inn" into "Wishing Inn".
In fact, if there is no 'wishing wind' and various coincidences, the box office of this movie will be frozen at most about 20 million, let alone winning the movie "Lingjian", it is estimated that there is no way to earn back the final cost.
Of course there are no ifs.
Everything is a foregone conclusion.
Jiang Bei turned his head to look at Zhang Jiuliang and sighed silently.
He always felt that the reason why this matter was not successfully completed has an unshirkable responsibility.
Liang Liangzheng sat honestly in his position and listened, and when he saw his brother staring at him meaningfully, he immediately turned his head and glared at Li Youqing and opened fire: "Why are you still cheating? A discerning person can see at a glance that this is a bad movie, and you can't force it to be regarded as a successful movie because of some inexplicable off-site factors! And you look at the box office on the eighth day has dropped to 8 million, and after a few days the popularity fades, the box office will be at most hundreds of thousands per day, doesn't this prove its failure?"
Li Youqing was not angry at all when he heard this, fiddled with the Wahaha bottle that had been drunk, and said: "After all, the movie only has an investment of eight million, and we can't ask for more from it." And compared to the 50 million "Ling Jian", I think it is already a very qualified movie. ”
"Success is also brought by my prophet Zhang Jiuliang, what does it have to do with you, a witch?
Li Youqing smiled slyly when he heard this, turned his head to look at Jiangbei and said, "Look, Liang Liang said that the movie was successful, so I shouldn't be considered a failure, right?"
Liang Liang panicked instantly, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "I didn't say it!"
Jiang Bei didn't speak, his brows furrowed.
"Otherwise, this will be a draw. Li Youqing said suddenly.
Draw?
Can this thing be drawn?
"Although the movie score is low, it is a fact that the box office is high, so we compromise and judge it as a draw, and then divide the winners and losers of the next film and television drama, okay?"
This counterattack was something Li Youqing didn't expect, and it can also be said that God was favoring her, because of the inexplicable film and reality, several coincidences in a row, and the peers were also very powerful to reverse the sluggish situation. Otherwise, in terms of the quality of the movie "Mood Inn", it may really pounce.
So if a draw can be made, it will undoubtedly be the best result for her.
There was silence in the living room.
Li Youqing seemed to play with the empty bottle calmly.
Liang Liang looked down at the pink velvet shoes with a weak heart.
'Youliang's head is thinking about their own things.
After a long time, a deep male voice sounded in the room.
"Okay, this time it's a draw. ”
After pondering for a long time, Jiangbei still chose to agree to this proposal.
The reason is simple.
This "Mood Inn" is not the key to determining the final winner.
In itself, it was a temporary attempt to prevent Li Youqing from receiving a possible substitute for other high-quality films.
It can be said that as long as Li Youqing does not win this time and can continue to maintain their previous agreement, then this operation will not be considered a failure.
In fact, there is no way to disagree, Li Youqing herself is unwilling to quit the entertainment industry, unless the movie's word-of-mouth box office hits the street and is unanimously criticized by fans, it will be difficult for her to die.
Agreeing to a draw can also be regarded as a step for each other and a chance to start the game again.
Li Youqing also breathed a sigh of relief and picked a wink at him.
Jiangbei's heart moved, this Nizi has really become more and more presumptuous recently, and she has to find a chance to fight back.
"And will you be going to make a movie next?"
Since this time it is a draw, then he must know whether Li Youqing will have plans for a new film and television drama.
Li Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, threw the empty bottle into the trash, shook his head and said, "I don't plan to take on new dramas this year, as for next year, it depends on the situation." ”
This sentence seems to mean a bit of a desire to stop the shadow.
Jiangbei and Liangliang glanced at each other, with joy and doubt in their eyes.
The surprise is that if Li Youqing does not take on new film and television dramas during the next period of "Blue Fortress", then the judging criteria will fall on the movie "Blue Fortress".
This is undoubtedly the outcome he would like to see the most.
What is confusing is that this stage is Li Youqing's development period, especially after the movie "Mood Inn", it is estimated that there will not be a few promising film and television companies in the circle, and various resources are continuous.
So it stands to reason that she should take over the filming of new dramas as soon as possible and continue to improve her fame, there is no reason to suddenly stop filming film and television dramas.
In fact, Li Youqing had no choice but to do this, after this escape from death, she realized that if it weren't for the luck of the movie, she might have to fulfill her promise to quit the entertainment industry today.
In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and not to leave fate to such a thing as luck. Only then did she decide to suspend the filming of new dramas, and wait until the release of the "Wandering Blue" movie to win the bet with Jiangbei and then seek development.
Steady and winning, can be long-lasting.
It's just that in this way, the little couple pinned their hopes on the sci-fi movie that was being made.
It's just that who will have the last laugh is unknown.
……
End of November.
The popularity brought by "Wishing Inn" quickly dissipated, except for a few netizens on the Internet who will ridicule the stalk of "Prophet", "Wishing Wind" has gradually been forgotten by netizens.
After all, the 'wishing wind' just exploded into popularity for a period of time with the coincidence of movie events reflecting reality.
Netizens didn't think that they could succeed if they really made a wish, but they expressed their sustenance for the future in such a way that such a 'wishing wind effect' was formed.
The 'wishing wind effect' subsided, and the box office of the "Mood Inn" movie also entered a sluggish stage, with a total box office of 172 million in 20 days, and only 35 million box office in the next two weeks.
Recently, the single-day box office is only a few hundred thousand, and it is expected that there will not be much increase until the movie is drawn.
The only pity is that the overall situation has been decided, and the sluggish box office in the later stage of "Mood Inn" cannot be changed, and it becomes the final winner.
Because the movie "Ling Jian" is worse than "Mood Inn".
The cumulative box office of "Ling Jian" reached 112 million in 20 days after its release, and the single-day box office was less than 200,000. Although the score of Baihua did not continue to decline, the score of 5.3 also made it a joke of the first domestic 'fusion style' movie.
And the situation of "Youth Invincible" is not very good, the cumulative box office in 20 days of release is only 109 million, and the score of Hundred Flowers has dropped to 5.8.
The decline in the score of "Youth Invincible" means that none of the three movies released in Lidong this year exceeded 6.0 and was still wiped out.
However, compared with "Ling Jian" and "Youth Invincible", two movies with an investment of more than 50 million, "Mood Inn" is the only movie that recovers its cost and makes a lot of money.
With an investment of 8 million and a box office of over 100 million, it can be regarded as a dark horse counterattack.
There are even times when Jiangbei thinks that if his peers can give a little effort, they will not let such a movie that relies on wishing to gain popularity win a big victory.
"In the end, it's still Adou who can't be helped. Squatting on the path opposite the mood inn, Jiangbei looked at the inn where tourists came in and out, and sighed.
The wishing wind not only brought popularity and box office to the movie for a while. As the filming location of the movie, the Embroidery Village and the Mood Inn have also become tourist attractions for the citizens of the Blue City and some foreign tourists.
Now the flow of people in the embroidery village is thousands every day, and even the No. 11 bus has set up a stop sign at the entrance of the embroidery village to facilitate tourists to go back and forth.
Not to mention the mood inn, there is an endless stream of guests who go in to eat and take pictures with the prophet every day, and the gambling king Zhang Jiuliang makes a lot of money because he has the shares of the inn.
Even Li Youqing couldn't bear to forcibly take the shares of Jiangbei, and came to the mood inn every day to help.
During the day, my sister-in-law entertained the tourists who came to eat and took pictures with the guests. At night, he counted the money around the table and divided the spoils in front of him.
Looking at the intimate and cooperative relationship between Liang Liang and his wife, Jiang Bei finally realized that this friendly army might be far away from him.
Maybe on the road to prevent his wife from entering the entertainment industry, he is destined to be lonely......
