"Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, the style of "Modern Times" is similar to that of previous comedy movies with similar embarrassing plots, but there is nothing new in the whole film!"

"All kinds of familiar bridges are kneaded into a crappy story, and I don't know what to do at all, and Xu Zheng left the embarrassing series, and that's it. ”

"The Spring Festival holiday is over, and the box office of "Modern Age" is only 78 million in 8 days, and the myth of Xu Zheng is no more!"

"Nearly half of the negative reviews, many viewers are disappointed in Xu Zheng!"

"The myth of "Thai Embarrassment" is difficult to replicate, and Xu Zheng left the embarrassment series in its original form!"

......

From heaven to hell, although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is not a problem at all when applied to Xu Zheng.

Thinking about how high-spirited he was last year, he directly won the box office championship of Chinese films with a score of nearly 300 million more than Tang An, and was known as a master of comedy.

To this day, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and a movie that can score 6 points is because the audience's expectations are too high, and these reviews and news seem to be talking about a big bad movie.

When they blow you to the sky, they all come to hold your stinky feet.

Once there is a downward trend, everyone will come and stomp on you hard to speed up your fall.

The box office of the first two days of "Modern Age" was quite normal, and it stopped growing from the third day, and after receiving a large area of bad reviews, the box office decreased day by day, Chinese New Year's Eve plus seven days of long vacation, a total of 8 days, seven days were on holiday, and the total box office was only 78 million.

The madness of last year's "Thai Embarrassment" is still vivid, it is also a comedy, starring the same Xu Zheng, and it is also a long Spring Festival holiday with no opponents, this data can be described as a big surprise.

Even the Xiangjiang movie "The Strongest Happy Event" won 75 million box office in 7 days, and from the third day, it has secured the position of the box office champion of the day.

The situation of "Modern Age" has not appeared, and the Spring Festival file has become a scuffle between many movies.

The animated movie "Panda Story" dubbed by the Happy Family is 25 million in 4 days, and it seems that I don't know when it started, and several of them will have at least one movie every year, both live-action and animated dubbing.

The costume comedy "Wonder Heroes" starring Gu Tianle and Wu Junru is also 25 million in 4 days, a typical Xiangjiang comedy, which was sprayed into scum.

The love movie "I Know a Woman's Heart" starring Liu Dehua and Gong Li is 26 million in 4 days, which is slightly higher than those two.

5 movies, none of which are hits, and this year's Spring Festival file is a little shabby.

......

Xu Zheng's studio, the general manager's office was gloomy.

Xu Zheng leaned on the sofa with a gloomy face, and his big bald head, which was originally quite joyful, was not happy at all now.

Liu Ruishu, the general manager of the studio and his agent, also frowned and was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I should have thought of this situation at the beginning, but now I am not prepared at all, what should we do?"

Xu Zheng shook his head, his voice was a little low, "Huayi's side also regretted it, although they are willing to pay liquidated damages, but they ask for the control studio, and the treatment is worse than Teng Huatao." ”

"What about other companies, aren't Wanda and Pony very sincere?" asked Liu Ruishu again.

"It's the same, no one is offering a better price at this time. ”

Xu Zheng was a little helpless in his tone, and there was also a trace of regret.

originally wanted to prove himself with this movie that has nothing to do with the embarrassing series, so as to strive for greater benefits.

Unexpectedly, the box office was far less than expected, not to mention the 500 million Haikou boasted at the premiere, even the original goal of 200 million was basically impossible.

It's okay that the box office in the early stage is not ideal, the key is that the reputation is not good, and it is not very possible to slowly pull up the box office in the later stage.

"Then what do you think, if you stay in Hantang, I'll go find Tang Dong first and say a few good words?"

Although Tang An has never shown any emotions about Xu Zheng's appearance in this movie, as if it has nothing to do with him, Liu Ruishu will not think that Tang An really doesn't care.

It's a mature series with a huge audience base, and it's so low cost that no big company can ignore it.

Liu Ruishu went to give in to Tang An first, and talked about it in a low voice, so as to make a buffer between them.

If Xu Zheng went directly to Tang An in person, if the two parties broke the matter, even if the next movie could be launched, there would be no more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

The agent is such a role, sandwiched between the artist and the producer, the actor and director must not have a stiff relationship with the producer, let alone a large company.

If you can have a conflict with this company today, it may be another company tomorrow, and sooner or later you will be offended.

Of course, if this "Modern Times" is a big hit, there will be no need to worry so much.

"Alas. Xu Zheng nodded and let out a long sigh.

Now it can only be like this, Huayi's conditions are not much better than in the Han and Tang Dynasties, Wanda and Xiaoma gave good conditions, especially the former, who has just set foot in the film and television production industry, lacks projects and directors, and the conditions are much better.

However, Wanda is a rookie in the industry after all, and one cinema line is far from enough, let alone other channels.

Although Xiaoma is the first echelon film and television company in China, there is no shortage of production, publicity and distribution, and Li Ming is also very sincere.

However, Xiaoma already has Wu Yusen and Ning Hao, and even if he goes, he will not be able to get more resources than the two of them.

Of course, the more important thing is that the copyright of the embarrassing series is not in his hands, if he really leaves Hantang, this series may have nothing to do with him.

Without this series, if the next movie still doesn't improve, it will be difficult for him to turn around.

The most important thing for him now is to quickly save his reputation and status through the next embarrassing series, which is the most important thing.

Liu Ruishu discussed with Xu Zheng, asked him to get a script outline that was enough to impress Tang An, and asked Xu Zheng about his requirements.

"5 percent box office share, or 10 percent profit share. Xu Zheng thought for a while and said.

Originally, Xu Zheng wanted much more than that, but now he is in a hurry, and he has no choice.

Liu Ruishu shook his head, "I guess it's difficult, I'll try to talk about it." ”

As she said that, she remembered something again, opened Tudou with her computer, and clicked on a window on the home page.

"Didn't you say two days ago that Tang An would announce several projects of the group at the development conference, let me take a look. ”

Xu Zheng shook his head, "A press conference will also be live-streamed." ”

"He is at least a qualified businessman than you, promoting the company's projects, and Tudou can also increase traffic. ”

A friend for many years, Liu Ruishu said unceremoniously.

After the 75S advertisement, the picture came to the hotel press conference site, and it has already begun.

However, before watching it for 5 minutes, Liu Ruishu and Xu Zheng were both stunned, their faces full of disbelief.
