Chapter 517: Peaceful Coexistence
Xu Cheng had the idea of making his own movie a long time ago, and it was an attempt for him to join the crew of "Crazy Stone" as a TV star, and he learned a lot through exchanges with Chen Feng and Ni Hao.
After the box office explosion of "Crazy Stone", he has been taking the opportunity to work hard to transform, but unfortunately the development did not go well later, and even reached the point where he had to remake a TV series to relieve his financial pressure.
Until now, in this "Journey of Laughter", Xu Cheng finally has a masterpiece starring himself.
Although he only starred in this film, as in the crew of "Crazy Stone", he participated in the whole production process of the film, and has more control, whether it is the change of the script or some details during the shooting, he is everywhere.
It can be said that after the experience of this film, Xu Cheng finally has more experience and ability to make a good movie, which is also a great turning point in his life.
People always need to accumulate, and without long-term training, it is impossible to do a good job for no reason.
Of course, except for Chen Feng, after all, Chen Feng was lucky to have all the experience and memories of his dream world, which were his most valuable treasures.
But ordinary people don't have such a magical ability, and if they want to succeed, they still need to rely on not only hard work and dedication.
Just like Xu Cheng now, in order to be able to make his own movies, he invested a lot of energy and financial resources, and it is only now that he finally has more confidence.
And as the box office of "Laughter Journey" is getting better and better, the investors of the film are naturally very happy, and in the production process of the film, they have always been very optimistic about Xu Cheng, whether it is the director or the crew, they have given Xu Cheng a lot of permission, and with the joint efforts of everyone, this film can have the current results.
In the past two days, the investors of "Laughter Journey" have begun to discuss long-term cooperation with Xu Cheng, after all, the first film is so successful, the film company must hope to develop a sequel.
Xu Cheng is also grateful for the other party's support for him all the time, and both parties also have the intention of cooperating.
This also has many benefits, and the in-depth cooperation between the two sides is more conducive to the development of subsequent film works, after all, it is best to use the same actors and crew team all the time for a series of works, so that it is easier for the audience and fans to accept, and there will be no trouble in copyright issues.
Cooperation between the two sides and win-win situation is the best development direction.
However, although Xu Cheng's contact with the investor is very smooth, a project involves many people and many things, and of course there will be some people who are dissatisfied.
For example, the director of "Laughter Journey" and some crew members.
When he was making a movie, because Xu Cheng was the only big-name actor, he repeatedly participated in the changes to the plot and the details of the shooting.
But now that the movie is popular, everyone's identity and status have improved a lot, and at this time, there are rumors that Xu Cheng is going to cooperate with investors to lead the development of this project.
Even if the director and crew will not change, the original crew is still used, but many people always feel uncomfortable.
Why did you Xu Cheng suddenly change from an actor to a boss? When you were not the boss at the beginning, you pointed fingers at the crew, and now that you are the boss, don't you want to press on the heads of everyone in the crew?
It's not a good feeling.
Especially the director and screenwriter, they have actually been dissatisfied with Xu Cheng for a long time, and now due to the change of status, they are even more depressed.
Therefore, when Xu Cheng and the investors of "Laughing Journey" discussed the follow-up cooperation, someone broke this balance.
In the end, the person who couldn't bear it was still the director.
Although Xu Cheng has repeatedly said that in his future work, he will honestly only be an actor, but such a guarantee is obviously not convincing.
What's even more helpless is that the identity of the director is not simple, he has an inextricable relationship with the investor, and it is impossible for the investor to directly abandon the director.
Therefore, everyone got entangled with each other, went back and forth for a long time, and finally failed to reach a solution that satisfied everyone.
In the end, in desperation, this matter could only be temporarily put on hold.
"Okay, let's talk about the follow-up later, now the movie is still in theaters, and the box office is good, everyone is dissipated and go play for a few days, well, I helped you book a ten-day tour of Thailand, let's go and relax, and now I won't fall out in advance for this kind of pre-emptive fallout." ”
Eventually, the big boss, the investor of "Laughter Tour", stepped in to stop the less successful talks.
After such a fuss, Xu Cheng also gave up the cooperation for the time being, and simply went abroad to play.
……
On October 10, the total box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 2 billion, and the single-day box office is still hundreds of millions per day, and the trend is very stable.
According to some professional statistics, during the first schedule in October, the number of fans and audiences received by the theater has increased significantly, which has far exceeded the level of the schedule itself, and it is obvious that these are driven by good movies.
The potential of the Chinese film market is still being stimulated.
The whole market is booming.
Moreover, the three films in the front row, "The Wandering Earth", "Eight Poles" and "Journey of Laughter", are also very peaceful and friendly in terms of competition, and there is no situation of slandering and attacking each other in the past.
Even on October 10, the official Weibo of "The Wandering Earth" also interacted with the two films "Eight Poles" and "Laughing Journey" respectively, and the three official Weibo accounts actually cheered each other on, and recommended their respective fans to watch each other's films.
After all, they are all good movies, and if you have the ability, choosing to watch two more movies is also a good thing for fans and audiences who really like movies.
In the film market, this kind of healthy competition and the atmosphere of recommending and sharing with each other are also very rare.
Especially in some popular schedules, the two blockbusters released at the same time are like enemies, the fight is very fierce, the fight of various resources and connections, the use of network power to smear and attack each other, etc., is generally very noisy in public opinion.
After all, everyone is facing the interests of real money, and in front of the box office of hundreds of millions at every turn, to hell with any face and friendship.
In this situation, it is rare that the three films "The Wandering Earth", "Eight Poles" and "Journey of Laughter" can coexist peacefully!
