Chapter 61: Returning the Favor
Enthusiasm is time-sensitive, and after that momentum, it is difficult to bring it up again.
The same goes for the enthusiasm of the fans.
But even so, "Those Years" also slashed 17 million at the box office, and at this point, the summer belonging to "Those Years" can be said to be completely over.
Although the film has not yet been released, everyone knows very well that the box office potential of "Those Years" has been squeezed dry, and the follow-up box office is not much, but it is better than nothing.
At present, "Those Years" has received 233 million box office revenue, and it is expected that there will be another 3 million to 5 million box office revenue before the final painting, and it is difficult to break through 240 million. But this is crazy enough, an investment of two million, a yield of 120 times, and only a movie dares to be so crazy.
The domestic box office is no longer looking forward to it, and everyone is looking at the overseas box office, especially in Xiangjiang, Ma'ao and Wanwan, which have the same roots as the mainland, and the box office revenue will definitely not be too low, and the total box office is expected to be 300 million.
There is still about a month before the box office account will arrive, but in this case, Murong Bing did not waste time at all, and had already selected the address and personnel for Wang Xiaobai's company. The only thing Wang Xiaobai has to do is to give the company a name.
The company has not yet been renovated, but the name must be determined first.
Under Murong Bing's repeated persecution, Wang Xiaobai was anxious and shouted directly: "My goal is the sea of stars!" ”
At that time, he froze Murong Bing, then smiled and said, "I am really not mistaken, your goals are definitely more than what you are looking for." After speaking, she sighed to herself: "Huaguo's entertainment industry is destined to be surging because of you." I'm going to help you find a designer and design the company's logo. ”
Seeing her go away in a daze, Wang Xiaobai was surprised, what did I say?
Her illness is getting worse and worse, do you want to remind her?
Forget it, I can't protect myself, and I don't care what others do.
A week later, "Those Years" was completely drawn, and the total box office was fixed at 238 million, an eye-popping number, and it also became the biggest dark horse in the summer file, ranking first at the box office.
Capital's sense of smell has always been more sensitive than that of a dog, and when "Those Years" achieved such good results, they found Wang Xiaobai one after another and asked him to shoot a sequel. And threatened to say whatever investment is needed, as long as the script is good enough.
Wang Xiaobai did not react to this.
For him, filming "Those Years" is a gamble and the fulfillment of a dream. Now that the dream has been accomplished, there is no need to continue.
He doesn't plan to shoot "People in Embarrassment" himself.
Since I was helplessly tied to the chariot and couldn't get out of the chariot, I left it to someone else.
Murong Yanliang is a good candidate.
Oh, Murong Yanliang also got the director contract of Xingchen Dahai.
Tsk, the sea of stars, the name reveals a thick middle and two winds, shame.
"Xiaobai, what are you busy with?" At this time, Murong Bing called again.
Recently, she has been calling almost every day, so much so that Wang Xiaobai wonders if she is a popular star, how did she start doing what an agent does?
"Didn't do anything. Something?"
"I can't call you if there's nothing?" After a few months of getting along, the relationship between the two has become closer and closer, and Murong Bing, who is known for his cold image in the outside world, is rarely a little popular in front of him, and he no longer looks like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
After she complained, she saw that the other side had nothing to say, so she said: "It's just that a few capitals have just come to contact me again, and they want to find you to make a few movies through me." ”
"I refused, the new script was not written well, and I was tired and wanted to rest. He said casually.
"I knew you meant that, so I helped you refuse a long time ago. Murong Bing said, "But there is one thing you really can't refuse." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Han Dongyi called me and asked you to have dinner together. In the last movie, he not only stood up for us, but also paid out of his own pocket, I suggest you still have to meet. ”
It's really hard to refuse.
The last time Han Dongyi stood up to help him speak, it really surprised him, he was not narcissistic enough to think that everyone has the responsibility to help him.
Han Dongyi looked for him, and he knew what the reason was with his toes, he personally invited songs on Tuibo, and Wang Xiaobai had to give this face no matter what he did.
He said, "Okay, I see, you give me the address, and I'll be there later." ”
"Okay, then you hurry up. Murong Bing instructed, and didn't say anything else.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaobai looked for several albums of Han Dongyi on the Internet, listened to the title song, and also learned about the characteristics of his singing - pop style, his singing skills are very good, and there are more electronic sounds.
This is also normal, he was a trainee in the stick country at the age of 17, debuted in the stick country at the age of 20, and only terminated the contract with the company in the stick country in recent years, and flew back to China to develop solo, so the style of the song still follows the style of the stick country.
What song to write for him?
He thought about it, suddenly patted his head, and said, "Okay, just this song." ”
So, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote the name of a song - "U" below.
This is one of the masterpieces of the super popular group SJ in the previous life, the music style is brisk, and there are more electronic music mixtures, which is very suitable for Han Dongyi's current music style, and will not be rejected by his current fan base.
It took ten minutes to finish writing this song, and Wang Xiaobai set off.
When I arrived at the café, I saw Han Dongyi in the private room, and the two shook hands and exchanged polite greetings.
Han Dongyi didn't know whether to really sigh or continue to be polite, "When we met for the first time, you were still a little-known trainee, but when you meet again, you have become a director who has won the box office of 200 million, which is really emotional." ”
"This is thanks to Brother Dongyi's help, and the box office will not explode to this point in the next few days. Wang Xiaobai got off the donkey, took out a piece of paper at the same time, and said: "Brother Dongyi, this is a song I have written in the past few days, you can take a look, if you think it is appropriate, I will give it to you, and it can be regarded as thank you for your strong support last time." ”
"What's so embarrassing about that...... Oops, I'm ...... In fact, I didn't mean anything else when I called you today, I just wanted to catch up with you, after all, after the last time the show was recorded, everyone hadn't met...... Haha, but since you have written all the songs, I'll take a look at ......" Han Dongyi said a little embarrassed, and then picked up Wang Xiaobai's paper and looked at it.
He didn't read the lyrics, because he knew that if Wang Xiaobai listened to his songs carefully and then helped him tailor a song, then the lyrics would definitely not be as amazing as his previous songs, and the real amazing thing was the tune.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished watching the song, he was completely shocked.
Wang Xiaobai was simply divine, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to write the style he wanted, but as soon as he saw the song, all his worries disappeared.
Looking at it, he couldn't help but tap the rhythm with his fingers on the table, and gradually fell into a trance.
"Brother Dongyi, are you still satisfied with this song?" asked Wang Xiaobai with a smile.
Han Dongyi put down the lyrics and said, "This song is amazing, it's just tailor-made for me." ”
"As long as Brother Dongyi is satisfied, then this song will be Brother Dongyi's from now on. Wang Xiaobai said.
"No, I can't. Han Dongyi shook his head.
