Chapter 131: Watching the movie "People in Embarrassment" (I)
Wang Xiaobai didn't stay in the capital for too long, and took a short rest the next day, and took a plane back to Jiangcheng in the evening.
"People in Embarrassment" is about to be released, although he is not a director, but as a producer, he is like a needle in the sea. He's here, people are at ease, he's not there, everyone will think that Wang Xiaobai doesn't have much expectation for this movie, which will make people panic.
Returned to Jiangcheng and rested for another night, December 30 was Monday, and he came to the company.
Murong Yanliang has been very nervous these days, after the first few movies hit the street, he questioned his directorial career, the success of "Those Years" was the success of Wang Xiaobai alone, and he, the assistant director, did not have much sense of participation.
He desperately needs the success of a film to boost his self-confidence.
The closer he got to the release, the more he couldn't sleep peacefully.
On the first day of work, he appeared in Wang Xiaobai's office with dark circles under his eyes, reporting on various preparations before the release.
Wang Xiaobai said: "Don't worry too much, you are a director, you have no negligence in your work, and you are even very good." The box office thing is not something you and I can intervene in, it has to be left to the audience to test. ”
Murong Yanliang said: "I understand what you say, but I'm still nervous." Xiaobai, can you tell me about your prediction for this movie?"
I don't know why, Wang Xiaobai can always give people great confidence.
Now even if Wang Xiaobai says that this movie can finally achieve a box office of one billion, he is willing to believe it.
Wang Xiaobai rolled his eyes: "My prediction works, if it works, I hope it will be 10 billion." ”
Murong Yanliang pleaded: "Just predict it and see how much the gap between me and you is." ”
"That's 100 million. Wang Xiaobai said casually.
"100 million? really...... Not kidding?"
He was shocked, the total investment of this movie is less than 1.5 million, where did Wang Xiaobai get the courage?
Wang Xiaobai rolled his eyes again, and said that you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you still ask, the old man is really difficult to serve.
He said: "Yes, just 100 million, let's bet on your directorial fee for the next part......"
"No, no. ”
How can a man fall twice in the same river?
Murong Yanliang didn't make this bet with him at all, the gloom on his face was swept away, he stood up, and said, "Okay, I'm out, you're busy." ”
"Don't worry, we're not done with this bet yet......"
Wang Xiaobai chased and shouted.
"No, you say 100 million is 100 million! Even if you say 100 million, I will believe it!"
He dropped a sentence and fled out of the office.
Looking at Murong Yanliang's back, Wang Xiaobai fell into deep thought, what's wrong recently, everyone doesn't seem to be fooled, could it be that my acting skills have declined?
Since coming to Wang Xiaobai's office once, Murong Yanliang has become confident, and he walks in the company with a sense of arrogance, as if he has been beaten with chicken blood.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the last day of December, and people have their own ways of entertainment as they celebrate the arrival of the new year.
Some people go to the bar to fly high, some people invite three or five friends to talk about next year's plans in the café, and there are couples who are entangled in your home or home, and a large number of people walk into the cinema in groups.
In the early morning, Wang Xiaobai and Murong Bing walked into the cinema with makeup.
Murong Yanliang, Yu Shan and Wang Baobao, as the main creators, held a roadshow in a movie theater in the city, and Wang Xiaobai didn't join in the excitement.
The first show of the film starts at 00:15 on January 1, 2020.
After midnight, everyone checked in and entered the theater.
At 0:15, the movie started on time.
This is an independently produced movie by the sea of stars, so after the dragon mark is sacrificed, followed by the flash logo of the sea of stars, a little boy sits on the moon and fishes with a hunch.
Subsequently, the four words "stars and seas" appeared below.
"This logo is very interesting, full of innocence and ambition at the same time. ”
"Yes, Wang Xiaobai treats all the audience as fish in his net, not only to let us take the bait, but also to cast bait. ”
"Shameless. ”
"It's like his style. ”
A group of people talked about the LOGO, Wang Xiaobai felt helpless, this is my, I just plagiarized it.
Then, the feature film began, and the theater suddenly fell silent.
On the big screen, Yu Shan had a bald head, dressed in a suit, and looked at the three people opposite with a gloomy face, eating elegantly and delicately, his eyes swept back and forth on the faces of the three people, and the unhappiness was all written on his face, and the atmosphere became more and more gloomy.
Looking at the dejected faces, his words were full of meanness and difficulty, and he said: "Knowing you makes me believe that everything is arranged by fate. Maybe God has long been destined to lead us through the darkness. ”
This opening remark, those who don't know the situation, thought it was a commendation meeting.
Then, his tone became more mean, and he said, "Now I want to say what kind of evil I have done in my last life. ”
This sentence changed the atmosphere suddenly, and several people lowered their heads one after another.
He continued: "The national animation market is so hot, you actually show me such a performance. ”
He looked at a person and continued to speak venomously: "Your IQ is really refreshing. ”
The man forced a smile, extremely embarrassed.
He looked at the other person and said, "And Xiao Zhang, you still have made progress this year." ”
The man who was praised had a smile on his face, thinking that what was waiting was praise.
But then, he continued: "Last year you were mentally retarded, and this year you have been promoted to stupidity. ”
The man's face suddenly fell.
Yu Shan continued: "And about you. ”
The camera cuts to the man's face, equally dejected, but vaguely with a glimmer of hope.
Yu Shan said: "I have always believed that there are two kinds of people in this world who are the most attractive, one is a very beautiful person, and the other is you. ”
The man was a little shy and stroked his hair.
"Thank you for letting me realize the truth that hair is long and knowledge is short. You won't have to go to work after the Chinese New Year. ”
The man immediately took out an envelope and said, "Boss, this is my letter of resignation." ”
He stood up and left, and Yu Shan shouted at him: "This is the most correct decision you have made this year." ”
The picture is frozen, his disdainful face is presented on the screen, and a line of small characters introduces his identity: Li Chenggong, nicknamed Big Big Wolf, CEO of United Doll Culture Group.
"Hahaha. ”
"It's a poisonous mouth. ”
"This movie is kind of interesting. ”
This opening is very attractive, Li Chenggong's verbal bullying of his subordinates made the audience in the theater laugh.
As soon as the picture turned, Niu Geng, dressed in the uniform of a milkman on a cattle farm, sat on a chair, and watched the news on TV about the hard to find tickets for the Spring Festival......
In the end, under the threat of a group of co-workers, instead of getting a year's salary from their boss, they got an IOU.
......Niu Geng sat on a pile of haystacks, laboriously discerning the words on the IOUs, and finally said angrily: "What! What is written!"
This scene also successfully attracted laughter from the theater.
……
Niu Geng decided to take the IOU and go to Changsha to ask for an account.
This is another BUG.
Li Chenggong's home is in Changsha, so he wants to go home for the New Year, which means that his company is not in Changsha, but Niu Geng magically wants to go to Changsha to ask for accounts, if this is a deliberate humiliation of the audience's IQ. So a migrant worker, for a salary of 20,000 yuan, even when he only got 5,000 yuan, still chose to take a plane, which is to completely press the audience's IQ to the ground and rub it.
If this makes you feel insulted, then all I can say is that you are too young.
I watched this movie ten times, but I didn't understand why a doll manufacturing company would owe 20,000 yuan to a dairy breeding base? Could it be that they went beyond 2,000 kilometers just to drink a sip of milk?
Li Chenggong is a mage, and he will do anything to get to this point for a mouthful of milk!
Fantastic.
In order to create jokes, the screenwriter also worked hard
At the airport, the two protagonists finally meet.
