"Go, what do you mean?" Lin Qisan said to Zhao Rui dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean that you can't pass the audition, and I can't pass either?" Do you mean that my acting skills are not good? Bayi just said it, neither of us is a problem of acting skills!"

"No, no!" Zhao Rui smiled, "I didn't say that your acting skills are not good, otherwise how would I agree to act in this online drama with you with two male protagonists." Anyway, I just think that there is Bayi, and we both have auditions or we have not! It turns out that my hunch is very correct!"

"What are your plans for the next period of time?" Xiao Yao ignored Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, turned his head and asked Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiyiguli, "Husband and wife, do that online drama project with the two of them?"

Although Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiyiguli also told Xiao Yao that they wanted to play together at the end of the company's annual meeting, after the script came out, neither of them was interested in any role in the script and did not sign up for the audition for this project.

"No!" Zhu Zitong shook his head and said, "Their online drama is Tan Meixiang, basically there is no heroine, so we won't work on that project with them!"

"Then you two will have a project with two heroines?" Xiao Yao asked.

"I'm going to act, but I don't need the company to help me start a project, I found one myself. Zhu Zitong said, "A TV series, the producer wants to find me to play the second female! I have read the script, it is not bad, and I am currently talking about it! If it goes well, I may soon join the group!"

"If it goes well, is it not yet decided?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile, "Do you need the company to participate in the investment to help you increase your weight?" The box office of "Donkey Gets Water" is good, and the next TV station and video website should be able to sell the copyright at a good price. The company will have a large amount of input after a while, and there should not be too much pressure on the finances!"

During this time, in addition to being busy with the Golden Dragon Award ceremony and TV series auditions, Xiao Yao has also been paying attention to the situation after the release of the movie "Donkey Gets Water".

At present, this movie has been released for more than ten days, and if you calculate purely from the number of weeks it has been released, it has reached the third week of release. Whether it is the box office or word of mouth, the results of this movie can be said to be very good.

The production cost of this movie is not high, and the cost of publicity is not very high, but the publicity effect is definitely very good.

From the promotion before the release of the movie, the film is very topical. The first live-action movie directed by Xiao Yao independently, Sun Tingting played the first female lead in the first film and television work, and sang the theme song of the movie created by Xiao Yao. Coupled with Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's long-made public relationship as lovers, the movie attracted enough attention in the early days of publicity before the release of the movie.

At the Chinese All-Star Celebrity Game at the beginning of this year, Xiao Yao's marriage proposal to Sun Tingting during the halftime performance is undoubtedly the biggest breaking news in the entertainment industry so far this year.

Xiao Yao is the producer, director, screenwriter, actor, and theme song creator of this movie, and Sun Tingting is the actor and theme song singer. In that halftime performance, Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao performed together was the theme song of the movie, so when the news of Xiao Yao's on-site marriage proposal occupied the headlines of major entertainment news, this movie of the two cooperation was inevitably mentioned, and it invisibly promoted this movie, which already had a lot of popularity.

At that time, there was still more than a month before the release of the movie. In the next month or so, Xiao Yao's continuous appearance and many hot searches maintained the topicality of this movie very well and did not let it cool down.

Time enters February, and the biggest hot spot in the entertainment industry is the Spring Festival Gala. Among all the Spring Festival Gala programs, the most talked about program is undoubtedly the two new songs of Xiao Yao on Yanjing Satellite TV's Spring Festival Gala.

Xiao Yao performed a total of three shows that time, and there was also a movie theme song performance with Sun Tingting before. While Xiao Yao became a hot topic because of the two new songs, the program that the two of them collaborated on in front of him will naturally not be completely ignored, that show is the theme song of the movie, and the name of the movie is naturally repeatedly mentioned in news reports.

After that, Xiao Yao participated in several variety shows for the purpose of promoting the movie, which continued to maintain the popularity of Xiao Yao and this movie.

Shonan Satellite TV's "Quick Book" and "Everyday Upward" are only regular programs, Xiao Yao took the crew members to participate in the program and promote the movie, the performance can't be said to be bad, but it can't be said to be a surprise. However, after the broadcast of several reality shows, Xiao Yao was frequently searched.

Of the several reality shows that Xiao Yao participated in, only one "Wild Kitchen" was broadcast before the official release of the movie. It's just that one show, and the topic is high enough.

In the program "Wild Kitchen" alone, Xiao Yao has topics such as "Tricking Guests to Eat Spiders", "Singing in Kino Language", "Two New Songs for Tea Picking", "Cooking is Hot" and other topics on the hot search, if it weren't for the fact that the program team was afraid that Xiao Yao would help the guide record the Keno music album may not be implemented, and I don't know when it will be done, if I am afraid of casually releasing it to cause trouble for Xiao Yao and cut out that paragraph, Xiao Yao would have set a record for the number of hot searches on this program.

Although these hot search topics have little to do with the movie, these topics are on the hot search, and the number of online hits of this episode of the show is naturally not small. Xiao Yao went on this episode of the show to promote the movie, and with the help of Wang Yuan, he blatantly advertised the movie several times, and the effect was naturally leveraged.

Sufficient publicity effect ensured the box office and theater volume in the early stage of the film's release, and after the movie was released, the audience's word-of-mouth and evaluation began to work.

After the premiere, film reviews from relevant media came out one after another. Xiao Yao likes to put the movie premiere at 0:00 the day before the movie is released, which is the same as the midnight time of some theaters. Therefore, when the film reviews of the media came out, the ratings of the movies by the average audience on the rating website also appeared. Compared with the film reviews of the media, Xiao Yao attaches more importance to the evaluation of ordinary audiences.

It's a comedy with dark humor. First of all, just look at the comedy, the comedy burden is shaken well. Especially Xiao Yao, who has foreign exchange experience and has always been known for his good English, most of the people who performed the original English dubbing on "Sound Immersion" actually spoke that kind of bullshit English in the movie, which has a special bonus effect.

In terms of character image, the images played by Xiao Yao and He Ying are relatively subversive, especially He Ying, which is not recognized by many people. Although Sun Tingting's character image is beautiful, it is far from her original image. The kind of charm that is beyond what she should have at her age really surprised many viewers.

The subversion of the character image proves the acting skills of several actors from the side. When it comes to acting, the actors in the whole movie are very good. Overall, this is a group drama, and in the eyes of the audience, the acting skills of all the actors of the main roles are online. Even the young, supposedly still a student and little-known little girl Guan Jinghe, who played "Sun Jia", and the actor who played "Zhou Tienan", who used to give the audience the impression of being more inclined to small fresh meat, felt that he acted very well.

The most important thing is that in such a movie wrapped in a comedy shell, it actually has a very deep theme. The slogan "Tell a joke, don't cry" is not an exaggeration, many viewers saw the back, and they all deeply felt a kind of anger and helplessness.

Xiao Yao's title of demon has been called for many years, and his achievements in filming and acting have always been good, but he is still a very young man in the end. Although his movies have achieved good results, in terms of movie themes, whether it is an animated movie with a sci-fi romantic comedy theme or a sports-themed parkour movie, it is still very suitable for Xiao Yao's age.

But the audience didn't expect that Xiao Yao would encounter such a theme that touches on social reality issues, and he shot it so well. Even if he knew that Xiao Yao was a demon, this was beyond the expectations of many audiences. In addition to being surprised, this point also added a lot of the audience's favorability to Xiao Yao.

So, overall, both the media and the general audience have given this movie a high rating and evaluation.

Let's not talk about it in the media, after all, there will be advertorials that take money to do things. On the rating website, the initial score of the movie after its release was around 8.5 points, and now it is stable at about eight points, and it is estimated that the fluctuation will not be too big in the future. Although this score is slightly lower than the score of the original movie in the previous life on Douban, it is already a high score in horizontal comparison.

Of the several films released in March, this movie has the highest rating. Even if you add the movies released on New Year's Day and Spring Festival before, among all the movies released in the first three months of this year, this movie is ranked second. Considering that this is the first live-action film directed by Xiao Yao independently, this achievement can definitely be said to be very eye-catching.

The box office in the early days was good, and the reviews given by the media and the audience were very good, so the box office trend of this movie was naturally very good. Generally speaking, the best time for a movie's box office is the first week of release, and then the single-day box office will decline.

In the two weeks after the movie was released, several reality shows such as "The Voice of Dreams", "Instant Electronic Music", and "The Character of the Actor" participated in by Xiao Yao were broadcast one after another, and a wave of publicity was made for this movie that was already in theaters. Some viewers who originally didn't know or were not interested in this movie knew from these programs that Xiao Yao had a new movie released, and when they looked at the ratings and reviews, they naturally became interested. Some viewers who originally watched it, after watching Xiao Yao's performance in the show, went to the theater for a second time.

The initial box office of this movie was good and the word of mouth was good, but this single-day box office decline was originally relatively low. Coupled with the publicity after the broadcast of several programs during the release period, this decline is even lower. On the weekend of the second week and the first two days of the third week, the single-day box office even achieved a reversal compared to the same period in the previous days and the previous week.

At present, the release date of this movie is only about half, and the total box office has exceeded 500 million.

According to the proportion of sharing, the producer can get more than 100 million at the box office of 500 million, and the movie has not yet been released, and the box office will increase later, and it is very possible for the producer's share to reach more than 200 million. The production cost of this movie is less than 20 million, and even if it is released now, it is already several times the income, which can be said to be a big profit.

After the movie is released, there will also be TV stations and video websites to buy the rights of TV and online broadcasting. The higher the box office of the movie, the higher the copyright in this area will naturally sell.

Although the box office share has not yet arrived, and the broadcast rights of TV stations and video websites have not yet been discussed, these benefits can be expected, so Xiao Yao is now full of confidence.

"No!" Zhu Zitong shook his head with a smile and said, "If you have the money to keep for us to open our own projects and bring money into the group, I don't do this kind of thing! I have a lot of advertising endorsements, even if I want to bring money into the group, I will go to those advertisers to invest, and I will not let the company use investment to help me change my role!"

"Do you really think Bayi will use investment to help you change roles?" Zhao Rui said to Zhu Zitong, "He is showing off that he and Duo'er's movie is good at the box office! Okay, I know that you are good, you two are amazing, and it is another hit!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Xiao Yao smiled, "But I'm not just showing off, I do mean this!"

"In this way," Xiao Yao looked at Zhu Zitong and said, "You don't need the company's investment to help you compete for the role, I agree, I believe you can also take the role down by yourself." However, after all, this is another company's project, you don't bring money into the group, you won't mess around in the crew, but there is no guarantee that other actors who bring money into the crew will mess around in the crew. We don't bully others, and we can't let others bully them!"

"What do you mean? I will be bullied if I play the second female?" Zhu Zitong said, "The actors who are talking about a man and a woman and a man are all actors with good acting skills and reputation, and they will neither bring money into the group, nor are they the kind of people who bully newcomers." ”

"It's not new for the leading actor to bring money into the group," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Don't you know that many supporting roles are stuffed into the group by the gold lord now? Because they are not the protagonists, those actors who bring money into the group are more likely to mess around." A few days ago, didn't there be gossip media reports that the actor was brought into the group with money, relying on the fact that there was a financier behind him, and he indiscriminately asked for more scenes to be changed in the crew, turning the role of a fourth female into a second female, which caused the crew to extend the filming cycle for more than a month, not to mention, the female first had to make up dozens of scenes later!"

"What you're talking about," Zhu Zitong said.

Although it was gossip news, some people later came forward to clarify, but as insiders, they naturally knew what was going on.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I was very unhappy at the time, but we can't take care of other people's affairs, and we can't stretch our hands too long, so as not to offend people for no reason, but if there are our people in the crew, the situation will be different!"

"What I want to say is," Xiao Yao continued, "if you encounter that situation, don't swallow your anger and be wronged. It is the next policy to pay liquidated damages for resigning and leaving, after all, you have paid for the role. If this is the case, you make it clear to the producer and let them kick the actor who comes to Hu. Isn't it just money? The part of the funds that is lacking is a big deal, our company will make up for it! A supporting role of Hu Lai, a second female who thinks about the crew, under the same financial conditions, the crew will definitely be able to make the right choice, right?"

"Everyone else is the same!" Xiao Yao looked at the others again, "Any of us in the crew will do the same when we encounter such a situation in the crew!"

"Okay! I agree!" Lin Qisan nodded first, "The general environment is like this, we don't care about other people's affairs, but as long as it is related to our own people, we must not be bullied!"

"Okay!" Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong also nodded.

"Several of our next dramas are led by our own companies, and Duo'er is going to participate in variety shows, so this situation will not be encountered. Except for Zitong, only Nina remains. Xiao Yao looked at Nina and said, "Nina, do you have any plans during this time?" Do you want to go outside to pick up dramas like Zitong or participate in the company's projects?"

"I don't plan to take on a show this time!" said Nina Aiyiguli, "I'm going to participate in a dance reality show!"

"Dance reality show?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Sun Tingting, "Could it be?"

"That's right!" Nina Aiyiguli smiled and hugged Sun Tingting beside her, "It's the one that Duo'er participated!"

"Another one to join in the fun?" Xiao Yao said in his heart a little speechless, turning his head to look at Sun Tingting.

"I didn't take Nina with me. Sun Tingting understood what Xiao Yao meant, and said with a smile, "But she did know that I was going to participate in that show, so she said that she would also participate in that show." ”

"I'm good at dancing, and it's a dance show. Nina Aiyiguli smiled, "I heard that Duo'er said that I was going to participate in that show, so I want to participate too, so I can be a companion with Duo'er!"

"Be a partner? You should be competitors on the show. Xiao Yao smiled, "If you really want to be a partner, Duo'er has a lot of partners in that show." ”

"I know there's that American friend of yours, named Kim!" Nina laughed, "Do'er told me! But Kim is an American, and if you really want to be a companion, you still have to be with Do'er!"

"It's not just Jin, it's Cheng Xi!" Xiao Yao said, "Didn't Cheng Xi tell you?

After Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng, Cheng Xi had already informed him that he would not audition for the role of Anna in "Pretty Sister", and she decided to participate in the dance reality show on Donghai Satellite TV.

"What, Sister Cheng Xi is also going to participate?" Sun Tingting and Nina were both surprised.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded and said to Sun Tingting, "Didn't she tell you?"

"No!" Sun Tingting shook her head.

"I may not have time to tell you yet!" Xiao Yao thought for a while and sighed, "The female guests of that show this season are very strong, and the competition must be quite fierce! I am suddenly full of expectations for this season's show!"
