Chapter 136: Courage to Accept Your True Self

After solving the problem of the main coffee of "Longing for Life", Wang Xiaobai basically has nothing to do below, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief leisurely.

In the second week of the box office battle, the momentum of "People in Embarrassment" is still very strong, with a total box office of 89 million in a single week, winning the weekly box office champion.

Although it has not reached 90 million, this has shocked the industry, and Jiangcheng Daily even used "The Wolf is Coming" to call the box office potential of "People in Embarrassment" and Wang Xiaobai's box office appeal on the headline of the film entertainment section of the supplement when "People in Embarrassment" won the box office championship for the second consecutive week.

At this point, "People in Embarrassment" has achieved a total box office of 163 million, 200 million is no longer a problem, and the final box office of "People in Embarrassment" is estimated to be about 250 million.

However, in the case of good momentum, "People in Embarrassment" has been attacked by major media, and Jiangcheng Daily is the first to bear the brunt.

This is the second time that Jiangcheng Daily has publicly criticized Wang Xiaobai, and his rhetoric is more spicy than the first time, and he does not hide his dislike for Wang Xiaobai at all, and directly said in the article on the front page, "Wang Xiaobai used a controversial garbage movie to cultivate a group of garbage audiences, lying on it and greedily sucking blood." ”

Jiangcheng Daily said unceremoniously, "Wang Xiaobai is also suitable for playing some romance movies without depth, and connotation movies are not areas that he can touch." ”

Compared with the last time, Jiangcheng Daily criticized the uselessness of the film, to the scheduling of the picture, to the plot, to the soundtrack, which seems to be very professional at first glance, but in detail, it is actually absurd.

But it has received the support of a group of film critics and media who are bent on black Wang Xiaobai and "People in Embarrassment".

Major newspapers and periodicals reprinted it, and immediately expressed their opinions, and an encirclement and suppression of "People in Embarrassment" occurred.

However, in the midst of the scolding, "Hu Kan Movie" continued to choose to support Wang Xiaobai and defended Wang Xiaobai - "We can't ignore the loopholes and problems in the play, but this is the only way for screenwriters and directors to transform themselves." Frustrations and tribulations are not terrible, what is terrible is not having the courage to accept them.

Maybe everyone has forgotten the fact that Wang Xiaobai is a newcomer who has debuted less than a year ago, so we can understand his high standards and strict requirements. But for a newcomer, we should support this achievement and determination to transform, not raise our stick and strangle it in the cradle. ”

Wang Xiaobai swore that he didn't give "Hu Kan Movie" a penny, and even when "Hu Kan Movie" sent a film review invitation to his trumpet, he chose to refuse.

The other party asked him why, and his answer also made the other party very confused.

He said: "As the producer and screenwriter of this film, I know they are right, and I have nothing to refute. ”

This made the editor in charge of him stunned, is this still the one he knows who "has nothing but handsome"?

While expressing regret, the editor advised him to see a psychiatrist when he had time, after all, it is not possible to live in someone else's life all the time.

Wang Xiaobai was speechless.

In the midst of the scolding, the box office of "People in Embarrassment" was slightly affected, and on the Monday of the third week, "People in Embarrassment" only swiped 5.7 million at the box office.

Because on this day, a traffic movie that claims to have closed the door of Chinese science fiction was released, and "People in Embarrassment" was released for three weeks, or Monday, and it is normal for the box office to be bad.

This sluggish situation lasted for two days, and finally on Thursday, after the traffic movie completely closed the door of Chinese science fiction, the box office finally began to rebound, earning 9.37 million at the box office.

Subsequently, it exceeded 10 million on Friday.

Saturday and Sunday are movie-watching booms, with a total of 25 million box office swiped in two days.

In the third week, "People in Embarrassment" achieved a total box office of 54.3 million, ranking second in a single week.

Traffic movies have always been traffic movies, although they are a mess, but it is not uncommon for them to be released in the first week and win the first place at the box office.

In three weeks and 19 days after its release, the total box office of "People in Embarrassment" was 217 million, with an average daily income of more than 10 million, which is a crazy return on investment for a movie with a total investment of only 1.5 million. The money-making businesses written in the criminal law are not comparable to Wang Xiaobai's movies.

The total box office of 217 million also slapped the media who sang "People in Embarrassment", which was extremely loud.

But Murong Yanliang couldn't be happy.

As a new director of the 100 million yuan club, he is now in full swing, and I don't know how many people are waving banknotes to make films with him, but they are all politely rejected by him.

He was unhappy and irritable because there were too many scolding comments about him.

People call him Wang Xiaobai's puppet, a puppet in Wang Xiaobai's hands, he doesn't care, he even wants to tell everyone what is bad about being a marionette.

The root of his unhappiness lies in the media's crazy disparagement of "People in Embarrassment", which is an insult and denial of his directing ability.

He came to Wang Xiaobai's office, where Wang Xiaobai was discussing the script of "Soldier Assault" with Blue Dragon.

After receiving Wang Xiaobai's outline, Blue Dragon devoted himself to creation, and now half of the script has been written, Wang Xiaobai will give him some follow-up script outlines every week, and at the same time will correct the problems in the script he wrote before.

"You have to remember that Xu Sanduo's character is a problem, and you have to highlight one important point, that is, the army is a melting pot, and any scrap copper and rotten iron thrown into it can be turned into refined steel. Therefore, Xu Sanduo's personality has multiple changes, such as cowardice and cowardice in his hometown, and he didn't dare to look at the dinner table when he ate, and then he joined the army, the kind of desire for the army, the freshness and longing for various weapons, and for example, he went to the third company and the seventh company...... It's all part of a change in his personality......"

Wang Xiaobai is discussing the script with Blue Dragon.

The blue dragon was like a sponge, frantically absorbing Wang Xiaobai's knowledge, and nodded frequently.

I don't know why, he always feels that Wang Xiaobai is a very amazing person, "Soldier Assault" is like he has watched it countless times, any small movements are integrated into his bones, and what he says is also unconsciously convincing.

Perhaps, this is a powerful contagion.

While the two of them were talking about the script, Murong Yanliang came in with a bunch of newspapers in his armpits, and he never knew what it meant to knock on the door.

Wang Xiaobai asked, "Why is your face so ugly?"

Murong Yanliang threw the newspaper on Wang Xiaobai's desk and said, "You will know why my face is so ugly after reading it." ”

Wang Xiaobai didn't even look at it, and said, "Just because of this?"

Murong Yanliang said in surprise: "Look at this newspaper, saying that we are a manufacturer of garbage, you look at this, it is even more excessive, saying that you have no connotation and force connotation, and also say that you belong to plastic bags, and you can be loaded with ...... You're not angry?"

"Why be angry. He asked rhetorically.

Murong Yan was angry, and only after a while did he ask, "Why aren't you angry?"

"Because what people say is right, why should I be angry?" Wang Xiaobai said very calmly.

“……”

Murong Yanliang was speechless for a moment.

Wang Xiaobai continued: "From the time I wrote this script, I knew that there were many problems with this script, but I still wrote it because I wanted to see if I could challenge myself. Of course, the end is a failure, so it's not unusual for me to be scolded at all, and it's not unusual for me not to be scolded. ”

“……”

Murong Yanliang had nothing to say.

Wang Xiaobai continued: "It is often a difficult thing to know yourself, but when others point out your problems, what you have to do is not resist. The courage to accept the imperfection of ourselves, to face the true self calmly, and then to win in defeat is what we should do. ”

Murong Yanliang was completely convinced, no wonder for so long, Wang Xiaobai had never spoken out, it turned out that he was asking others to help him find out his shortcomings, and then make himself stronger.

What kind of realization is this?

Will I be able to reach his heights in my life?

Lan Long was also very shocked, looking at Wang Xiaobai's eyes with a little respect, this kind of person is his best example. And not only in terms of business capabilities.

After convincing Murong Yanliang, Wang Xiaobai said, "Is there anything else?"

"It's gone. ”

He shook his head.

Wang Xiaobai said: "Then I have something." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a script from his desk and said, "This is the script you want to shoot next, the sequel to "People in Embarrassment". ”

"Huh?"

Murong Yanliang was stunned, although this movie attracted a lot of box office, but he was scolded like this, he actually dared to make a sequel?

What is this operation?

Wang Xiaobai gave the answer: "Aren't those media scolding me and questioning your directing ability? That's good, where we fall, we get up." We used the sequel to "People in Embarrassment" to slap them in the face. ”

"Okay! I'll definitely make a sequel!"

Murong Yanliang was full of fighting spirit, shouted, and was about to leave with the script.

Suddenly, he remembered something again, turned his head to look at Wang Xiaobai, and asked seriously: "Xiaobai, is it true that you just said that you have the courage to accept your true self?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Well, you know, you're not handsome at all. Really, please have the courage to accept yourself as you are. ”

Murong Yanliang said very sincerely, and then turned around and left, not taking a single cloud with him.

The blue dragon is also gone.

"Thank you. ”

Wang Xiaobai smiled and watched the two leave, and then, in the office, Wang Xiaobai picked up the phone and called Xue Ning: "By the way, I heard that Lao Mu has complained a lot about the company recently, and his work enthusiasm has dropped a lot." informed the finance that a meeting was held last week and decided to permanently put on hold the 5% box office profit dividend of Lao Mu's "People in Embarrassment". ”

“……”

Is this retaliation?

Xue Ning thought silently, and built a tomb for Murong Yanliang in his heart.
