Chapter 728: Slapped in the face?
There are now two film schedules in China that are deeply loved by film distributors, that is, summer and Chinese New Year.
In addition, the National Day schedule is also very popular.
Summer vacation is a long vacation, and there are many college and middle school students who watch movies now.
The Lunar New Year stalls also last for a long time, and the industry defaults to January to the end of February.
Two months.
In the Chinese New Year stalls, there are not only winter vacations for students, but also annual vacations for office workers.
Preparation, filming and post-production, it took a total of one or two years for "Goodbye Ex 3" to finally meet the audience immediately.
This kind of movie is not like a sci-fi blockbuster.
The post-production of sci-fi blockbusters can often take a year or two, or even longer.
"Goodbye Ex" directed by Tian Xiaosheng, the post-production is very relaxed.
If it weren't for disgusting Li Yibai, the National Day schedule would have been released.
Because Li Yibai's "Hurry That Year 2" was released in this year's Chinese New Year.
Tian Xiaosheng cooperated with the distributor to run all over the country during this time, but it is a pity that Boyu Film and Television is still a newcomer in the film industry, and there is no big guy to lead the way and endorse.
For example, when many famous directors in the film industry promote their films, there are often some well-known directors or big V stars to help promote them.
Tian Xiaosheng's qualifications are far worse than Li Yibai's, and he doesn't have a big guy to take him.
If it weren't for the perennial mixing of the film industry by the distributor, Tian Xiaosheng would be very embarrassed, and he would not have invited well-known people in the industry to appreciate his face.
In addition, the strength of Boyu Entertainment in the variety show circle is also reflected.
Tian Xiaosheng has been on a lot of shows during this time to promote his movies, relying on the connections and resources accumulated by Boyu's production.
Whether it is the replacement of resources or the exchange of favors, in short, Tian Xiaosheng is not worried about not being on the show.
Li Qiuting was nervously filming the second part of "Huanzhu Gege", so she never had time to accompany Tian Xiaosheng in person to promote.
Although she is especially looking forward to the box office of "Goodbye Ex 3" this time.
But the plot of the second part of "Huanzhu Gege" is estimated to be twice as much as the first.
Therefore, she did not bother less than when the first part was filmed.
"Kill him and vent his anger for his sister. Li Qiuting didn't have time to go on the show with Tian Xiaosheng to promote, but she called Tian Xiaosheng to cheer him up.
The "he" in her mouth naturally refers to Li Yibai.
Back then, she thought she was a very good friend in the circle, but when she really needed the other party, she found out.
It turned out that everything was fake.
She remembered that Chen Ziang said that one person, seven years ago and now, is almost another person.
The exchange of cells throughout the body can change a person's original intention.
When Tian Xiaosheng was on the show, the host had already been instructed to talk to him about the movie.
A host once asked him: "We are all curious, why is this movie called 'Goodbye Ex 3', does it have a first and second part?"
Tian Xiaosheng thought about it for a long time, and then replied: "The name of the movie is actually raised, and I am only responsible for filming." ”
The host and the audience were a little puzzled.
I don't understand because some people don't know Chen Ziang, and some people wonder what Chen Ziang is doing.
The host asked again: "Director Tian, do you know why Ziang took this name?"
Tian Xiaosheng naturally knows why, but he is half an actor, a celebrity who has appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala to perform the sketch "Cast His Favor", he pretended to be very puzzled, and said: "Ziang said that there will be a sequel to the popular movie, and we will add a 3 to create an illusion." If it's really popular, I might go back and shoot 1 or 2. Isn't it all like this now, either a sequel or a prequel, or even a side story. ”
The host and the audience couldn't laugh or cry.
Those who know a little bit about Chen Ziang feel that what Tian Xiaosheng said seems to be true, very similar to Chen Ziang's style.
The host asked with interest, "Why doesn't Ziang take 2?"
Tian Xiaosheng's answer filled the scene with the smell of gunpowder.
He said: "Ziang said that 3 is bigger than 2. ”
It seems to mean something.
As soon as this show was broadcast, the media and netizens who did good things seemed to be poked to the G spot and were very excited.
Tian Xiaosheng's "Goodbye Predecessor 3" and "Hurry That Year 2" were released on the same schedule, and they were released one day after another. ”
"Tian Xiaosheng is referring to the sequel to "The Year in a Hurry", which became popular two years ago, is his movie going to be the sequel?
"Grass, newcomers, new movies, such a big tone. ”
""The Year in a Hurry" was very popular back then, a movie with a cost of 10 million, and it got hundreds of millions of box office and dozens of times the profit. ”
"When you become famous for acting in a sketch, you get carried away. ”
"What's the matter, he is the director of "Dragon Babu". ”
"Haha, it?"
"Boyu Entertainment's work?"
"Now that it's lively, I know that Boyu Entertainment is not honest and thinks the entertainment industry is not lively enough. ”
"Take the initiative to stir up trouble. ”
"Sit back and wait for the jokes, and now the hype is endless. ”
"Does that mean?"
"People just say it's 3 to 2, it's fine. ”
"There are so many conspiracy theories, and a simple sentence has to be misinterpreted into dozens of meanings. ”
"This is the human heart, normal. ”
“……”
After Li Yibai saw this sentence, he thought it was true.
Tian Xiaosheng is obviously looking for something and brushing up on his sense of existence.
"What does it feel like?" He Xie, deputy director of Pearl Film and Television, chatted with Li Yibai.
Li Yibai's studio is attached to Pearl Film and Television, and Pearl Film and Television is his owner.
Pearl Film and Television is the majority of Pearl Entertainment, and Pearl Entertainment is one of the entertainment giants that is weaker than Uniasia.
"At this time, isn't there a lot of hype in the circle, it's normal. Li Yibai is very calm on the surface, and he has been prosperous in the past two years.
The films he directed or participated in were box office hits.
Of course, because it is not a blockbuster with a huge investment cost in Hollywood, the box office cannot be compared.
But when it comes to profits, his work is very high.
It can't be compared to Hollywood blockbusters or domestic productions.
A movie with an investment of 100 million will have a box office of 1 billion, and the overall profit will be ten times.
But the box office of the movie is not that the more you invest, the more you earn, and it can almost be seen from the ceiling.
For example, the movies of the Billion Club are not everywhere now, and these works are basically invested in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Even if a movie invests one billion and the global box office is 10 billion, the profit is only ten times.
Li Yibai has participated in more than ten times the works in the past two years.
Although he was disdainful of Tian Xiaosheng's provocation on the surface, Li Yibai was still very unhappy in his heart.
First of all, this newcomer film director doesn't know how to respect his predecessors.
Secondly, he has risen in the past two years by relying on "The Year in a Hurry", and now he is filming the second part, full of confidence, what does Tian Xiaosheng compare with him?
In the end, as soon as he remembered the scene when Li Qiuting pierced his face in front of him, he was embarrassed, and his resentment towards Li Qiuting and Boyu Entertainment grew day by day.
"Do you want to give the media a few words of stimulation when you promote it?" He Xie asked with a smile.
Li Yibai hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's take a look again." ”
The next day, during the publicity, Li Yibai was interviewed by the media.
The media never thinks it's a big deal, and asked Li Yibai: "Director Li, Director Tian Xiaosheng said in the program broadcast yesterday that it is 3 to 2, and it seems to say that his movie is better than yours, what do you think?"
Li Yibai didn't want Tian Xiaosheng to take advantage of the situation, so he didn't want to answer.
Although he Li Yibai is not a big director in the film industry, he is not comparable to Tian Xiaosheng, a first-time filmmaker.
Now this topic is very hot, if Li Yibai does not avoid it, he will add fuel to this topic.
Isn't this propaganda for Tian Xiaosheng?
Li Yibai didn't want Tian Xiaosheng to rub his traffic and popularity.
However, seeing that Li Yibai was a little reluctant to answer, the reporter said again: "Director Li, are you not confident in your box office?"
Li Yibai was a little angry.
These media not only like to distort facts, but also like to add oil and vinegar, lest the world be chaotic.
And whoever he offends doesn't want to offend the media.
The media goes crazy and can drive celebrities to death.
Otherwise, it's depression.
How many celebrities are depressed and even committed suicide because of unbearable pressure from public opinion.
And the media "played an important role" in all this.
"Of course I'm confident in my movie at the box office. Li Yibai smiled and said: "In addition, I want to explain that in some poker games, 2 is higher than 3, and 3 is the smallest card. ”
When the media at the scene heard Li Yibai's words, they almost went crazy with joy.
Hey, shouting in the air, the two sides are torn up.
On the same day, Li Yibai's remarks spread all over the Internet.
"Damn, Li Yibai is fierce. ”
"It's the first time I've seen Li Yibai so domineering. ”
"Haha, that's a good overbearing. ”
"That's how it should be, don't coward, who's afraid of whom?"
"is worthy of being an idol, dare to do and dare to speak, and kill the rookie director who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”
"The smell of gunpowder is so strong. ”
"Haha, is this tearing up?"
"Obviously, cultural people have more connotations when they tear up, and ordinary people can't understand it. ”
"They are all literary and artistic young people, and they are all torn so gently. ”
“……”
Netizens were so happy.
Tian Xiaosheng had a bitter face after seeing Li Yibai's interview.
He wanted to tear Li Yibai and take the initiative to attack, but Chen Ziang instructed him.
said that he was going to rub more traffic now.
Tian Xiaosheng was reluctant.
Chen Ziang said to him: Be a thick-skinned person, and thick-skinned people have a future. Look at me now, I mix better than you, my wife is so beautiful and not thick-skinned, how could I get my wife early.
Tian Xiaosheng felt that it was very reasonable, but at the same time he was also very depressed, this matter was still a bit unkind.
But in the end, he still followed Chen Ziang's advice.
Tear Li Yibai.
Even if the other side does not fight, there is nothing to lose.
It's better to respond to the battle, and you can have more topics to make your movie more exposed.
Entering the film industry, for Tian Xiaosheng, the world is big, and the box office is not big.
"Xiao Li works in the personnel department on the third floor, and a month ago, he was transferred to the administrative department on the second floor. Today, Xiao Li called the personnel department to find him: Is Xiao Li there? Xiao Li: Ahhhh Tian Xiaosheng posted on Weibo, just this one joke, and didn't say much.
But Weibo soon exploded.
Netizens left messages one after another, and everyone could see that the situation was rising.
"I'll go, people with stories. ”
"I like cultural people, and it's so interesting to scold and fight. ”
"May I ask what is the name of Xiao Li's colleague?"
"I don't even know what the name is, but I'm sure it must be surnamed Tian, called Xiaotian. ”
"Haha, look at how Li Yibai takes over. ”
"Bai Bai, someone is causing trouble, what do you think?"
“……”
After Li Yibai saw Tian Xiaosheng's Weibo, he was so angry that he died.
Damn, it's endless.
It's really thick-skinned.
People didn't want to pay attention to him, and he still posted it to rub it.
"Look at the pre-sale box office!" Li Yibai couldn't help but post on Weibo.
Although "Hurry That Year 2" and "Goodbye Ex 3" have not yet been released, pre-sales have been opened online.
In terms of box office pre-sale data, "Hurry That Year 2" has been pre-sold for millions.
And "Goodbye Ex 3" is only a few hundred thousand.
The pre-sale box office of "Hurry That Year 2" is more than ten times more than that of "Goodbye Ex 3".
Tian Xiaosheng was happy and depressed at the same time, and he was angry at this battle so far.
Before, he was purely following Chen Ziang's advice, but now he is very unhappy and despised by Li Yibai.
Fighting, fake fighting.
A few days later, "Goodbye Ex 3" was the first to be released.
The box office on the first day was more than 3 million.
The cost of this movie is not much, but it can exceed 10 million.
Of course, Wang Deng joined with a guaranteed bottom plus dividends, so the cost is not high.
With Wang Deng's joining, the box office is more than 3 million, which is a bit of a flutter.
No matter how new Tian Xiaosheng is, there is also Wang Deng, the current super first-line player, behind him.
Seeing the box office data, Li Yibai was even more disdainful of Tian Xiaosheng and "Goodbye Predecessor 3".
In these years, people's discipline is becoming less and less valuable.
Sell everything.
Don't let go of the festival.
When the box office of "Goodbye Ex 3" came out, netizens were a little disappointed.
"Tian Xiaosheng still can't do it, it's hot in vain. ”
"Yes, the pre-sale box office of "Hurry That Year 2" is more than the actual box office of "Goodbye Ex 3". ”
"Well, the actual box office will be more than the advance box office, and there are a lot of people who buy it on the same day. ”
"More than three million is already counted. It's not hard to recoup costs. ”
"The rookie director doesn't lose money, it's already a success. ”
"It's not useless to fight, at least not so much at the box office. ”
“……”
A day after the release of "Goodbye Ex 3", "Hurry That Year 2" was also released.
The next day, the box office data came out.
Six million eight hundred and ninety.
"Hurry That Year 2" is a sequel to the first part, and several original students have now graduated.
The story takes place after they graduate.
On the third day of the release of "Goodbye Ex 3", the box office figure rose slightly, reaching four million.
"On the third day of the release of "Goodbye Ex 3", although the box office rose, it was still only half of the box office of "Hurry That Year 2". ”
"This newcomer's movie face is swollen. ”
"Sad Tian Xiaosheng. ”
"Boyu Entertainment really can't do it, just say, how can they be popular wherever they mix. ”
“……”
Tian Xiaosheng was also melancholy, embarrassed to fight with Li Yibai again.
"I'm embarrassed. Tian Xiaosheng complained to Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang asked him to do this, shame.
"What is there to be ashamed of, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. Chen Ziang smiled: "Also, you are too anxious." Don't you know word of mouth? Now you read more movie reviews. ”
