Chapter 223 Beauty is Value!
Shuntianfu, a high-end coffee.. lā
The newspaper in Qin Jingjing's hand was flipping through the pages, and she finally came across an article that she was interested in, so she took a serious look.
It reads -
"...... the premieres of the two films "Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-Improvement" and "Golden Stage", I went to attend the premiere of the former, whether it was director Zhao He, or Zhou Baoshan and Lu Lingxi, when talking about the box office, they were quite low-key, but they kept mentioning Li Qian's efforts for the "Huang Feihong" series.
When mentioning the creation of the second part, he even said that from behind the scenes to in front of the stage, from the director to the actors, there is a feeling of trembling, lest the dog's tail continue to mink, and blind Li Qian created such a good theme, a story, and the script of the second part he carefully created.
But facts have proved that "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" has innovated in the inheritance, and it is definitely a work with sincerity, hard work, and attitude. Therefore, after winning a super high reputation, the audience naturally voted with their feet and walked into the cinema to support the film.
Under such a super heat, coupled with super publicity energy, this movie was released for three weeks, breaking 100 million every week, and in just 19 days, it got a box office of 443.72 million, and it is no longer a problem to break 600 million box office in the future, and it is not impossible to hit the 700 million box office set by "The Gate of Life and Death" last year!
But on the other hand, at the premiere ceremony of "Golden Stage", director Qin Wei and the main creative team were full of confidence, when asked about his expectations for the box office prospects, director Qin Wei was even more 'very modest' and said that he hoped that he would be "very content" if he could have 150 million in the first week, and he said that he hoped to exceed 500 million at the total box office in the future.
If you take into account the domestic box office of last year's "The Gate of Life and Death", at that time, everyone did think that Director Qin was indeed very modest, including me, who also thought so at the time. In our opinion, with the word Qin Wei, this gold-lettered signboard, "Golden Terrace" can be sold for at least 500 million. However, after saying the big words, the hind foot "Golden Terrace" was cold in various places.
Up to now, the movie has been released for two weeks, and the first week has barely exceeded 100 million, although it did not meet Director Qin Wei's expectations, but the box office of 110.74 million is not completely unacceptable, but the box office in the second week plummeted, leaving only 53.88 million, and the total box office of the two weeks was only 164.62 million. Compared with the huge investment announced by this film, the super creative lineup, and the super high publicity and distribution costs, such box office figures, as well as the extremely poor audience reputation after the film's release, have obviously pushed the producer Huafei Film and Television to the edge of the cliff of losing money.
At this time, I knew that as a bystander who had not been calm before, it was necessary for me to sit down and reflect on something carefully.
Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the two movies "Wong Fei Hung's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" and "Golden Stage", there have been many professional film critics who have repeatedly discussed them, and even many non-professional film critics' articles on the Internet are quite sharp and detailed.
In the entertainment industry, whether it is music, movies, TV series, or stage plays, everyone is rushing to make money, which is understandable. Even if you are obsessed with art and want to make some artistic achievements, no one will refuse to achieve financial success. After all, although making money can not be the goal, making money is indispensable!
Because, art that doesn't make money is dead.
But making money also scores how to earn.
Someone makes money on their knees, someone makes money while standing!
The former feels that it is too difficult to make money, and it is worth doing anything for money, while the latter, although he also wants to make money, he feels that good goods come from people, so he makes things with his head!
Of course, there are some people who think that the money is easy to make, so he stands in the clouds and takes a fishing rod, thinking that if the fishing line and hook are thrown down, the money will come.
So, before I start talking about these topics in detail, I would like to set a target ahead - over the years, as far as I can see, only people who respect both art and the audience, and only those who always put their work first, can always stand and make money!
For example, Li Qian!
……”
The article was very long, and Qin Jingjing's eyebrows fluttered, so that the people opposite her had already sat down, and she suddenly woke up - it was Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi put down his bag and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
Qin Jingjing smiled, smiled at her, shook the newspaper in his hand, and said, "Some comments." ”
I thought that Lu Lingxi should not care, but I didn't expect her to look quite interested, and stretched out her hand, "Show me, is there any interesting statement?"
So Qin Jingjing handed her the four or five newspapers in her hand, and at the same time pointed to the one she was reading, and said: "I think this is quite interesting, he said that many people are kneeling to make money, and Li Qian is standing to make money." Director Qin Wei stood in the clouds and threw a fishing rod to catch money. ”
Lu Lingxi was surprised when he heard this, and immediately lost his smile, and said while taking it: "This statement is quite interesting. As she spoke, she found the article according to Qin Jingjing's gesture, and she also began to read it.
Well, normally speaking, Wenqing's daily life is boring enough, and the daily life of the two female Wenqing is even more ......
Next, the waiter came over, and Lu Lingxi didn't raise his head and ordered a drink.
Then, I made an appointment with two people who had coffee together, and they actually looked at each other.
Of course, Qin Jingjing has already roughly flipped through other newspapers, and she doesn't care about anything else, just intuitively look at the reports of the entertainment industry and cultural circle, so she simply flipped through it again, and couldn't find what she wanted to read, so she naturally quickly put down the newspaper in her hand.
took a sip of coffee, and then, his attention unconsciously fell on Lu Lingxi opposite.
Although she herself has been recognized as a super beauty in the domestic entertainment industry since her debut as Diao Chan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", she still feels that the woman opposite is really beautiful.
She's so beautiful like no other.
Intellectual, elegant, delicate, seductive, but not pretentious, not squeamish, plain and bland.
She thought about it while reading the article, and from time to time her face would show a look of "deep approval", and then continued to read - the article was a bit long, and it took her more than ten minutes to finally finish reading it. Putting down the newspaper, she said, "It's well written, but in the end, it's a little bit unwritten." ”
Qin Jingjing looked questioning.
Although Lu Lingxi has never taught her, she has always called her "Sister Lu", not "Teacher Lu", but a teacher is a teacher, in her heart, Lu Lingxi is not just a caring big sister.
In terms of knowledge, opinions, ability, and even, on the wisdom of people, she has always believed that Lu Lingxi threw herself 108,000 miles away!
Well, to paraphrase a line that is hotter this year-
I can see so far, Mr. Lu, I can see so far, Li Qian, I can see infinitely!
Lu Lingxi stirred the coffee in the cup, and after a moment of thought, she said slowly: "Some people stand, it's not that they think they can make money by standing, because he needs to stand up straight and stand up well in order to see the outside at all times, for him, making money is just a trivial matter." And some people kneel because their hearts are too small, and a little earning is enough. ”
What this said may be extremely transparent to some discerning people, but when Qin Jingjing heard it, she was a little confused - she smiled "hehe" and asked, "Sister, what do you mean?"
Lu Lingxi rolled his eyes, smiled, pushed the newspaper aside, decisively brought the topic back to reality, and asked, "How long have you waited?"
Qin Jingjing was brisk in an instant, "Just read a few newspapers." ”
Then he asked, "Do you need to go out again when you come back this time?"
Lu Lingxi thought for a while and said, "I remember that I think I will go to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia next week, and then it seems that it will be fine, the last lap, anyway, the domestic propaganda is already over." ”
Qin Jingjing nodded, and then suddenly said: "By the way, Sister Lu, I haven't congratulated you yet, it's already 440 million, the newspapers say that there is no pressure to break 600 million, and when the time comes, you will be the person who will break 1 billion in two movies together! He Yingyu hasn't done it yet! You are the second domestic actress!"
Lu Lingxi shook his head with a smile when he heard this, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Yes, she knew that what Qin Jingjing said was right.
Since yesterday morning, as soon as the news of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Reliant" broke 100 million yuan for three consecutive weeks, many people have been discussing the box office record of Chinese films created by her and Zhou Baoshan.
At present, among the domestic directors, there are only two people who have exceeded one billion at the box office of all their works for the time being. Now it is close to one billion, and the next one to break is Zhao Meicheng.
Like Liu Chengzhang and Du Weiyun, they are all seven or eight billion, and they are still one or two successful films. Others are still a little far behind.
Feng Bicheng's three movies are more than 600 million, and he has already made the sixth among directors.
Among domestic actors, Guo Yulong's movie box office, even if the 700 million in "The Door of Life and Death" is removed, it is already approaching one billion, plus "The Door of Life and Death", he is the first in the world.
Zheng Zhongyuan has been scheduled for many years, and his total personal box office has approached one billion.
Among the actresses, Fu Hongxue has starred in Qin Wei's "The Door of Life and Death" and Wu Han's "Across the Seas", the former is more than 700 million, the latter is in his early 200 million, and he is already infinitely approaching one billion.
It's just that although her role in "The Door of Life and Death" is outstanding, she can only be regarded as the second female lead, and the box office of "The Door of Life and Death" has exceeded one billion, making her, the first person, a little unconvincing.
As for He Yingyu...... Originally, she should have been the first person, but as a result, after "My Sassy Girlfriend", she starred in "The Door of Life and Death" and Zheng Zhongyuan's "Escape Hero", although the box office is not bad, the box office of the three movies is combined, and it seems that it will be one million or more to break one billion, but then, because of the rise of Minghu culture, the friction with the three giants in the film industry has increased, causing everyone to stop looking for her to play roles. So, her box office record stopped there all of a sudden.
She didn't really care about it, so she took the opportunity to go back to film school to take honest classes and attend various trainings to prepare for "The Matrix".
It's just that Fu Hongxue couldn't help but rob him of it.
And now, the two "Huang Feihong" are about to directly win the screen couple of Zhou Baoshan and Lu Lingxi over one billion!
In this regard, the whole industry is naturally very hotly discussed, saying everything, questioning that Lu Lingxi is just a big vase, in fact, there is no ability to carry the box office, yes, saying that Lu Lingxi is just lucky, because of the special teacher-student relationship with Li Qian, so he got the role of the thirteenth aunt, and since then he has been on a free ride, and even more.
After all, "Once Upon a Time" is a big hit!
Aunt Thirteen is on fire!
Lu Lingxi is indeed Li Qian's teacher!
As the box office leader, the popular kung fu superstar Zhou Baoshan has now received invitations to film appointments, all of which are from 10 million, and Lu Lingxi, as a beautiful vase, although it is not enough to exceed 10 million, but the quotation given outside is already 600 to 8 million!
In the words of some media commentators: beauty is value!
However, who can know, I accepted Li Qian's statement at the beginning, and decided to take over the role of Aunt Thirteen and make her debut from filming, really just because I think what Li Qian said makes sense - become popular first, only when people are popular, everyone will be more willing to pay attention to your works.
In fact, compared with the positioning of "the second billion-club actress in China", what she cares about and is more pleased with is actually the title of "talented female director"!
So at this time, Qin Jingjing wanted to congratulate, she was really in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say.
To say that you don't care is a little too hypocritical.
How could you not care at all!
No matter how much you are heartbroken, in the face of the overwhelming attention, praise and doubts of the whole society, you will definitely have a fluctuating heart, and you will be happy when you encounter praise, and you will not be happy when you encounter doubts - Lu Lingxi never feels that she is a goddess, she feels that she is vulgar!
Like now, with a thought, I listened to Li Qian's words and took "Huang Feihong", two years, two movies, and the total personal box office is about to break one billion, there is no shortage of money to spend, and you can get countless attention as a director. And with such a best-selling series of movies in hand, although the main focus is not on yourself, as long as you don't pounce, it's still that beautiful vase, you can ensure that you can act in movies and be a director at the same time!
How cool!
If I hadn't come to Minghu Culture at the beginning, I would definitely still be teaching at the film academy at this time, not that the teaching is not good, it's just that ...... That's how this life will pass, right?
It is likely that he has been teaching for decades, and he has been full of peach and plums, but he has never been able to do what he wants to do!
And if he just came to Minghu Culture, but didn't listen to Li Qian, to play this "Huang Feihong", maybe after some experience, Li Qian will still give himself a play and let himself be in charge of the director, and at that time, he filmed "Love to the End", which is not bad, so the play can still be popular, but can it be as popular as it was when it was on the air before?
Doubtful for sure!
The more time I have been in the film and television industry for a long time, the more Lu Lingxi has begun to understand that it is not feasible to do things in this circle, just having dreams, and just working hard!
So now, she is deeply glad that she chose to come to Minghu in the first place, and she is glad that she listened to Li Qian's words and played the thirteenth aunt in "Huang Feihong".
…………
Changing the topic, Lu Lingxi asked Qin Jingjing about the preparations for the next blockbuster with a salary of 10 million, Qin Jingjing replied simply, and then asked: "Sister Lu, when will your film about Princess Taiping start?"
Before the release of "Once Upon a Time", I went to see a few film and television cities, and I was not satisfied with the scenery in some places, and then, the other party agreed to renovate it, anyway, we will pay for it. Then, coupled with the recent delay in running propaganda, alas, it is estimated that ...... It would be nice to be able to turn it on in September!"
Qin Jingjing looked envious and flattering, "Sister, give me a role, right?"
Lu Lingxi snorted and laughed, "Don't make a fuss, okay, how can I afford your salary!" As she spoke, she pointed her finger to the ceiling, "The boss is still very picky!"
Qin Jingjing smiled at first, and then said a little aggrievedly: "I think...... I should be quite suitable to play Princess Taiping? Isn't it that you haven't decided on a good person yet? Let me try. ”
Lu Lingxi glanced at her and whispered, "Li Qian won't agree." ”
Qin Jingjing was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Lu Lingxi smiled and shook his head, "You said you ...... Your agent is so smart that he didn't tell you about this?"
Qin Jingjing was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Xiao Min seems to have said that I would rather be idle in the future than take the film indiscriminately...... But ......"
Lu Lingxi didn't wait for her to finish, and said directly: "Just do it!"
Qin Jingjing was stunned, "Why?"
Lu Lingxi smiled: "Because you are already a signboard!"
After a pause, he said: "10 million salary, the first person in China, even if Zhao Meicheng's movie is pounced, Li Qian will not allow you to lower your price to take on other dramas." ”
Qin Jingjing continued to be puzzled.
Lu Lingxi shook his head helplessly and said, "You ...... now." Either I look forward to Zhao Meicheng's drama being a big hit, or I am looking forward to him making a big pounce! Because, if this drama is too powerful, Li Qian will definitely have to find a way to personally direct another drama for you...... Right?"
Qin Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red.
Coupled with the small look in Lu Lingxi's blinking eyes, her face suddenly turned even redder.
"Sister Deer......"
Qin Jingjing was a little embarrassed.
Lu Lingxi lowered his head and laughed.
After taking a sip of coffee and putting down the cup, she finally asked, "Tell me, what are you looking for?"
Qin Jingjing said: "Yesterday, Ming Xiaojing called me. ”
Lu Lingxi looked at her in amazement.
Qin Jingjing hurriedly explained: "When filming "Red Sorghum", she and Kang Xiaolou's son, Kang Mingming, was the little guy who played my and Li Qian's son in the play, and she took the crew with her, she was with the crew for many days, she was a movie queen, and her acting skills were recognized as very good, and I asked her a lot of things, so our relationship is not bad!" In addition, in fact, Liao Liao has a good personal relationship with her, and Liao Min also helped me find a play through her at the beginning, so even if it was a stiff fight some time ago, we have always been in contact with each other, and we have not completely broken off. ”
Lu Lingxi nodded.
After a moment of silence, she said, "I can probably guess what will happen." However, I advise you not to meddle, this level of affairs is not something we can meddle in!"
Qin Jingjing was stunned when she heard this, and finally sighed gloomily.
Then, she said, "Xiao Min told me the same thing." ”
…………
Just when Qin Jingjing and Lu Lingxi were drinking coffee beautifully, they were both in Shuntian Mansion, and at this time, a car stopped at the door of a movie theater.
Qin Wei got out of the car with sunglasses and a mask and walked into the cinema.
When he came to the ticket counter, he took out his wallet and said, "Please have a copy of "Golden Table". ”
The ticket collector collects money and counts the ticket.
Qin Wei got the movie ticket, and the changed money recovered, and found a place to sit down.
When the opening scene began, he stared at the movie ticket for a long time.
Angry and angry, the reason why he wanted to come to the cinema in person was to see for himself as an ordinary audience why his movie was not good.
The movie starts at 3:50 p.m. sharp.
At half-past four, he came out.
He looked calm.
On the way, he called the driver to drive the car over, and when he stood there at the door and waited for the car, he dialed another phone.
When the phone was connected, he said, "I want to rest." Let's talk about it for a year. ”
…………
Hanging up the phone, Hu Fei tilted his body, collapsed on the boss's chair, and sighed.
After a while, it popped up, dialed a number, and when it was connected, he asked, "Lao Cheng, how is it? How many days will it be completed?"
The other side said: "I discussed this with Director Liu yesterday, he said that some shots are not too satisfied, and he wants to reshoot them again, I guess ...... It's going to take three or five days, right?"
Hu Fei raised his head helplessly and rubbed his brows, "Okay, okay!" Anyway, try to cooperate with him!"
The person on the other end of the phone said a few words, and Hu Fei responded with "um" and "um".
When he hung up the phone, he thought about it again and again, but he still picked up the phone and dialed another number.
After five or six seconds, the phone was connected, and a nice voice came, "Hey, Mr. Hu, why did you remember to call me?
Hu Fei smiled wryly, holding the phone in one hand and pinching his sideburns with the other, and said, "Yihua, your brother Hu has something to do, I have to ask you here!"
"Yes! Hearing you say this, I know that my vacation is probably going to be waste......d! Oh my God, you let me take a few big breaths first, or I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it later!"
Hu Fei smiled bitterly, "Okay Yihua, don't laugh at me!
On the other end of the phone, Du Yihua seemed to chuckle twice, "Okay, you talk about it, I'll try to help if I can!"
