Chapter 137: The bumpy road of "Soldier Assault".

The Lunar New Year in 2020 is January 25, the fourth week of the release of "People in Embarrassment".

The Spring Festival is approaching, and major movies are gearing up to show their skills in the Spring Festival stalls.

In the first two days of the fourth week, "People in Embarrassment" continued to maintain a single-day box office of 10 million, but on the 22nd, it suffered a cliff-jumping cut, and the box office on the 22nd was only 4.5 million, not even crossing the 5 million mark.

The reason is that on the 22nd, there was a well-known director, bringing together several veteran stars, and the movie was released at a cost of nearly 100 million, snatching the box office of "People in Embarrassment", and it was even worse on the 23rd, which had fallen below 2 million, only 1.98 million.

Correspondingly, major theaters have reduced the film schedule of "People in Embarrassment", and arranged more film schedules for this big director's film.

The final box office of "People in Embarrassment" is 300 million, but 250 million is stable, it depends on how much box office it can get.

The copyrights of "People in Embarrassment" have also been sold, and five large video websites in China have bought out the online screening rights of "People in Embarrassment" for ten years at a total price of 40 million. Movie channels and several local TV stations also joined in the excitement and bought the TV media projection rights for ten years at a total price of 15 million.

Before the movie was drawn, Wang Xiaobai had already recorded 55 million, and after deducting taxes, more than 46 million, a huge amount of money.

And this big director also lived up to the expectations of the theater, the box office reached 76 million on the first day, and directly broke 100 million on the second day, which is an extremely eye-catching horse on the Spring Festival stalls, and many people are worried about Wang Xiaobai.

He is a rookie director, strictly speaking, he can only make two films, and in such a severe environment, he has to compete for the box office with a group of newcomers who are not very famous, and those famous directors and actors who have been famous for a long time.

Many media even began to celebrate with the crown, saying that this Spring Festival stall will teach Wang Xiaobai a lesson, don't think that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings.

In this regard, as a publisher, Yunhai Entertainment has been under tremendous pressure, and Yunhai Entertainment, which originally only planned to use two million to casually publicize it, directly increased the publicity cost to 20 million without Wang Xiaobai's consultation, and Beijing, Jiangcheng, Yuecheng and other places have become important strategic bases for Yunhai Entertainment, and it is inevitable that these three places will be covered with promotional posters of "Charlotte's Troubles".

Regarding these disturbances and Yunhai Entertainment's decision, Wang Xiaobai is not worried at all.

On the 21st, he went to the capital in advance to participate in the last big rehearsal in front of the Spring Festival Gala.

There are more than 40 programs in this Spring Festival Gala, and some of them have hundreds of people, which is extremely terrifying.

So the rehearsal work was also very tiring and troublesome, and it was divided into three days to complete.

Wang Xiaobai came to the capital, not only to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, in addition to reporting the specific progress of "Longing for Life" to CCTV's father, he also came with a task - the book of "Soldier Assault" has been completed, so he is now talking about the shooting venue.

He wants to bring this book to CCTV dad again, and use the influence of CCTV dad to reach filming cooperation with military camps around the country. He believes that with the excellence of "Soldier Assault", it is enough to attract the attention of the army.

It's not that the army doesn't need propaganda, they need more attention.

This TV series was later even used by many important departments of the state as an excellent film to promote the army.

In fact, it's not that there is no corresponding film and television base, but no matter how similar it is, how can there be a real military camp that is more real?

Besides, the military has a lot of free group performances, props and venues, so why not use it?

22nd, evening.

Wang Xiaobai and a group of team members ended the rehearsal task and met the deputy station of the CCTV program team in the big pants.

The deputy station attaches great importance to him, and after spending an hour listening to the progress of "Longing for Life", the deputy station attaches great importance to it and says: "This show is a special case for us, so you must ensure excellent production standards, and also, the sooner the first two episodes are produced, the better, let's test the water with the evening section first." ”

This is the regular routine of CCTV.

CCTV has always been known for being cautious and conservative, and for a new program, they generally arrange it to be broadcast after midnight to see how it is cleaned up that night. If the ratings reach the expected effect, the file will be raised and broadcast in the corresponding time period.

Of course, if the ratings do not meet the expected minimum standards, it means that this program has no room to survive and will be cut directly.

It's brutal, but it's also the safest way to do it.

CCTV can't afford any failure.

Wang Xiaobai said that he understood, and then said: "Deputy Taiwan, in fact, I have one more thing today, I want to reach a cooperation with your Taiwan." ”

"Oh, is it a new reality show?" The deputy station frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied, thinking that Wang Xiaobai's appetite was too big. "Longing for Life" has not yet been released, and he is in a hurry to set a new show, which is a bit dry and fishing.

Wang Xiaobai said with a smile: "You also think too highly of me, how can I have such great ability and ambition to launch two reality shows at the same time." ”

"What's that?"

The deputy station had a better attitude and asked.

"It's a TV series, with a military theme, and I want to seek cooperation with your station. Wang Xiaobai said, and at the same time took out the script and said: "Deputy station, look at it, this is the script." If there is anything that is not appropriate, please correct it. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll call my colleagues in the TV drama department to discuss this matter together. Instead of reading the script, the deputy station called the head of the department in charge of the production of the TV series.

The other party arrived soon, and Wang Xiaobai took out another script to the other party.

""Soldier Assault"? What is the name about?" The person in charge looked at the name of the TV series, and before he could read the text, he asked directly.

Wang Xiaobai said: "It is roughly about the story of a silly boy in the countryside who grows up step by step into a qualified soldier. ”

"Seems kind of interesting. The man said, opened the script and looked at it.

It was about less than twenty minutes before and after, and the deputy station glanced at him secretly, and he shook his head slightly.

Wang Xiaobai looked at the person in charge eagerly and asked, "Teacher, what do you think of this script?"

"Well, the subject matter is very fresh, and the story is also very tense, but this style of TV series doesn't quite match us, so I don't recommend shooting. "The person in charge of the TV drama production department said it more tactfully, but the meaning was obvious.

Wang Xiaobai was a little disappointed, he thought that he would be sure of nine out of ten, but he didn't expect to be frustrated.

Am I in the wrong mode?

Not a protagonist mode?

He was a little skeptical of life, but he didn't force it too much, CCTV dad didn't give anyone face. At least before "Longing for Life" achieves phased success, CCTV will not easily cooperate with him.

The loss on Wang Xiaobai's face could not be concealed, and he said, "Okay, that's bothering." ”

Subsequently, he left.

After he left, the deputy asked the man, "Is this script really okay?"

"Does the leader want to listen to the truth?"

"Nonsense, do I need to listen to the lie and still look for you?" the deputy scolded with a smile.

The man smiled, then his expression became a little serious, and he said, "It's not okay, it's a mess." It's just a matter of not knowing what to do. If this kind of TV series is filmed, it will be a mistake. ”

"Oh?

"Deputy station, you haven't read the script, do you know what he portrays a soldier in it? Seeing that our army's tanks actually surrendered, he wrote a letter to his family to leak the secrets of our army, and those few people on the grassland, he was ashamed of the word soldier. I dare to say that once this kind of drama is filmed, it is indispensable to eat and hang. ”

The man said solemnly, but if he looked carefully at the direction of the plot that followed, he would find that this was not the case, but the opposite of what he said.

But it's a pity that he is a CCTV person, and he is destined to not have so much patience to read a lengthy script.

"Alas, this young man is still good, but he is a little floating, thinking that he can make good movies, write good songs, and make a genius show like a reality show, so he will be empty-eyed. It's not advisable. ”

The deputy station sighed and completely settled the matter.

Wang Xiaobai walked out of the office full of regret and walked down the corridor a little devastation, thinking about who to pull into the water to shoot "Soldier Assault", which he had high hopes for.

"Wait a minute, may I ask, are you Wang Xiaobai?"

At this time, a voice came from behind, asking eagerly.
