Du Yanling, graduated from the directing department of Beijing Film Co., Ltd., an alumnus of Li Qiuting, and a contracted director of Boyu Film and Television.

Before entering Boyu Film and Television, Du Yanling was originally an unknown young director, who had filmed commercials, MVs and micro-films.

Those works, like Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian, who started with advertising, did not make any waves, even compared with Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian at the beginning, Du Yanling is more "well-known".

But there are few viewers who are familiar with him.

However, since he was discovered by Li Qiuting and entered Boyu Film and Television to direct "Love Apartment", he has emerged in the director circle since then and is also well-known by many audiences.

Lately, he's been a little troubled.

Boyu Film and Television is booming, so that there are more and more directors now, and there are several graduates from the Beiying Department of Directors alone.

Although those people are still in the grinding stage, it also makes Du Yanling feel a lot of pressure.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the back waves slap the front waves on the beach.

Before, Du Yanling was leisurely, targeting Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian.

But the second part of "Love Apartment" has been broadcast, and the ratings are needless to say, although they are not as good as the "Huanzhu Gege" series, they are not too close.

However, in such a situation, the company came in several peers at once, and he Alexander.

It is said that Mr. Chen's vision is very accurate, are all the people who come in with them?

But I don't have it, what should I do?

Du Yanling was irritable.

The more people there are, the more competitive they are.

But Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian didn't catch up, and they were caught up by the younger brothers and sisters later, and they were slapped to death.

In order to maintain her status, Du Yanling went to Li Qiuting when she had nothing to do and asked when the third part of "Love Apartment" would start the project.

He didn't dare to run to Chen Ziang.

According to his idea, only directors of the level of Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian can often see Chen Ziang and drink tea and chat with Chen Ziang about work.

You can't find Chen Ziang by anyone, so Chen Ziang doesn't do anything every day, and he just meets guests.

In the face of Du Yanling's frequent requests to see, Li Qiuting also had a headache.

The third part of "Love Apartment"?

Probably going to die.

The delay in starting is not because the company can't free up funds or pull out staff.

But Zhao Ya has been preparing for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, and now she has run away with Li Longji's crew, and the filming has been completed, and there is no schedule at all.

Even if there is a schedule, with Zhao Yana's temperament, he definitely doesn't want to continue filming the third part of "Love Apartment".

Filming two films is already her limit, she doesn't want to eat the old book, she likes to challenge.

In addition, Wang Jun, who played the magical role of Guan Gu in "Love Apartment", also has a bit of Zhao Ya's personality, begging Li Qiuting not to shoot anymore, begging to let go.

The two important roles either strongly asked to run away, or cried and begged to be let go, Chen Ziang delayed giving the script, Li Qiuting felt that there might not be a third or fourth part.

So she didn't know how to tell Du Yanling.

It's very devastating.

After all, "Love Apartment" is a popular drama, how can there be any reason to start a company and not want to make money?

But there are so many problems.

The artist is capricious, and the boss is even more capricious.

If it was another boss, he would have come out and yelled: Give me a good shot, no one is allowed to run, whoever runs is a turtle king bastard is not good, go and make good money for me.

On this day, Du Yanling came to Li Qiuting again.

Li Qiuting's office.

"Yanling, don't worry, I'm doing Mr. Chen's work, you know, his focus is now on movies, and he basically doesn't care about TV series, so he doesn't have so much time and energy. Li Qiuting comforted Du Yanling.

"That's right. Du Yanling was very disappointed, he also wanted to make a movie, but there were chasing soldiers later, no matter whether it was a donkey or a horse next to him, he had to go up and run first.

Li Qiuting spoke again: "But now because Mr. Chen is busy, I will give you an important task, how about it?"

"What task?" Du Yanling's eyes lit up, did she mean to do something for Mr. Chen?

Doing things for Mr. Chen, that's a must.

Maybe it's done, and the third script of "Love Apartment" will come out.

Then Mr. Chen personally ordered Zhao Ya and Wang Jun to return.

Zhao Ya and Wang Jun's ambitions, Du Yanling understands.

are all actors with great personalities, and after the food and clothing are solved, these two don't look at money at all, only read the script and look at the challenges.

"Mr. Chen's movie, cough, he doesn't have time to do publicity, but the crew can't be without a leader. Li Qiuting said a little melancholy.

"Huh?" Du Yanling's head slammed.

He thought of something, and he was so excited that he almost couldn't breathe.

Li Qiuting could see the change in Du Yanling's expression, and said with a smile: "You may have guessed, that's right, Mr. Chen wants you to be famous, as one of the directors, and take a few of us out to promote and be on the show." ”

After Du Yanling was excited, she asked a little nervously: "This, Sister Qiu Ting, can I do it?"

Li Qiuting waved her hand: "Publicity, on the show, there are scripts, don't worry." ”

Du Yanling is still a little nervous, it's good to take anyone, but there is Li Qiuting inside.

Li Qiuting is not only his nobleman, but also one of the bosses.

Film promotion has always been the director's biggest priority, and other actors are just foils.

is also the leading actor, the actor and actress level, can barely keep up with the director.

"That's right. Li Qiuting didn't wait for Du Yanling to finish digesting, and threw out a major task: "Be mentally prepared, we don't need to arrange people by ourselves when the time comes, there must be reporters who ask about box office predictions." When the time comes, you will say ......"

Du Yanling pricked up his ears, but when he heard Li Qiuting say the numbers, his heart contracted fiercely.

"One billion starts!" Li Qiuting said lightly.

Du Yanling was a little devastated.

Damn, it's not a good task.

Is this the location of the back pot?

Billion?

Don't look at Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian have entered the billion box office club, I think that the billion box office is easy to get.

The entire Chinese film market, not counting foreign imports, can produce a local film with a box office of one billion yuan a year, which is already a great success in China's local film market.

In the film market, 80% of the films are losing money.

Only 20 percent of them are not losing money or making money.

The big profit is less than two percent.

Chen Ziang's movie, it is said that there is an investment of 70 million, but this is because Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting calculate dividends and 0 salaries, so they only spent so much cost.

If Li Qiuting is invited to star at the market price, she alone will not be able to escape the salary of 20 million.

70 million investments, 1 billion votes, this is a lot of money.

And how much is the probability of making a lot of money throughout the ages?

"Eh, Sister Qiu Ting, so ...... Say okay?" Du Yanling's heart was a little unbearable, he wanted to say, "Is it okay to brag like this", but in the end he didn't dare to say so.

Bie Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian both succeeded, and Mr. Chen also thought that he would succeed.

It's not that the people around you are scholars, but you must also be scholars.

There are students who were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and their peers couldn't even pass the two books.

Film promotion, there are reporters from all walks of life, and if you ask questions about box office forecasting, there will definitely be.

But usually many directors or actors will not answer positively, but will only say that of course they hope that the higher the better.

At most, it is said that there is confidence that the box office is better than the previous one, and there are very few directors who answer like this, and there will not be one in a few years.

A director was once slapped in the face, predicting that there would be a box office of one billion, but after the painting, it was less than 300 million, and he was embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house.

A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark.

"It's good, you don't have confidence in Mr. Chen?" Li Qiuting said with a smile.

In fact, Du Yanling didn't know that Chen Ziang originally asked Li Qiuting to answer this question.

As a result, okay, this junior brother bothered her every day, and just hit the muzzle of the gun, Li Qiuting felt a little sorry for herself if she didn't throw this pot to Du Yanling.

"Well, no, I have confidence in Mr. Chen. Du Yanling said stubbornly.

How can you say that you don't have confidence in the big boss, isn't that looking for death, and do you want to be mixed?

"Mr. Chen is very busy, don't go to him if you have anything to do, just look for me if you have something. Li Qiuting told Du Yanling, afraid that he would be stunned and ran to ask Chen Ziang, do you really want to say that the box office of one billion starts?

Then she's finished.

Chop first, then play, cook the rice to maturity and then talk about it.

At this juncture, Li Qiuting didn't want Chen Ziang to know, so he insisted that she say what to do?

Although she has seen the finished product of this movie, she thinks that one billion should not be much of a problem.

As long as it is publicized and distributed normally, the pressure is not very great.

But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if.

She didn't want to take the risk.

If a billion starts to be thrown, the entire film industry will definitely be boiling.

Although there is a suspicion of hype, the quality of the movie is not good, so it is a bit frustrating to be hyped.

A few days later.

Sure enough, after Du Yanling, one of the famous directors, helped Chen Ziang lead the crew to the development conference, a reporter immediately asked about the box office prediction.

"I think a billion should be fine, well, a billion to start. When Du Yanling said this, a cold sweat broke out on her back.

The scene of the press conference immediately boiled.

"A billion start?"

The reporters almost screamed.

That's big news.

It doesn't matter if it's hype or not, but for journalists and the media, it's big news.

If it explodes, it will definitely make the Internet quarrel.

Also attending the press conference were Li Kai and Wang Jun.

Zhao Ya is not here, her role is not important, and she is also busy filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" with Li Longji, so she has no time.

Hearing Du Yanling's wild words, Li Kai and Wang Jun opened their mouths wide.

I'll it.

The two of them didn't know that Du Yanling came with a task starting from one billion.

"So fierce?" Li Kai is just an important role, not a person from Boyu Film and Television, let alone Li Qiuting, and he is not qualified to see the movie as a finished film.

He didn't know what the movie would look like when it came out.

With so many shots he shot, he felt that he could use one-third of them, which was very powerful.

Wang Jun also looked confused, I wiped it, it's really unseemly, why can't I see that Du Yanling, who is usually very low-key, was so arrogant at the press conference.

Li Kai and Wang Jun looked at Li Qiuting.

What is the situation?

Was there an accident at the press conference?

"Is it really a billion start?" a reporter stood up and asked uninvited.

Many reporters also pointed their cameras at Du Yanling, waiting for him to confirm.

"Yes, I have a lot of confidence in this film, and I followed Director Chen from start to finish, including post-production. Du Yanling affirmed.

Wang Jun and Li Kai want to vomit blood, the ghost from beginning to end, we haven't seen you on the set at all, okay?

Forget about being famous, why don't you still play it.

"Wow~"

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar, this is a bombshell.

It's really a billion starts, and I have to write a manuscript when I go back.

Then.

"Director Du, didn't you drink before you came to the press conference?" Li Qiuting asked Du Yanling with a smile.

Du Yanling wants to cry, eldest sister, why is there still an impromptu performance?

I'm not an actor.

How to act?

"No, it's a sign of respect for journalists, for fellow workers. Du Yanling improvised and didn't know if he was acting well or not, he secretly observed Li Qiuting's reaction.

"Well, I hope that Director Cheng Du Ji Yan will take us to hit the billion box office. Li Qiuting said with a smile.

The press conference took an hour and a half to end in the form of reporters asking questions and the directors and leading actors answering.

Then, the Internet began to be lively, and it can even be said that it blew up.

Because journalists write truthfully.

"Du Yanling, one of the directors of "I'm Not a Big Hero", predicts that its box office will start at one billion!"

""I'm Not a Big Hero" held a press conference, and the box office was a shocking prediction. ”

“……”

"I'm Not a Big Hero" is the name of Chen Ziang's movie.

Of course, it's a modified name.

He didn't use the name of the movie from his previous life.

"Damn, really?"

The circle was the first to learn the news.

A group of directors, actors, filmmakers were surprised.

"Did Chen Ziang say that?"

"No, it was his assistant and one of the directors, Du Yanling. ”

"Who is Du Yanling?"

"Eh, the director of "Love Apartment", in the past, no one in the circle knew him normally, but now he doesn't know much, right?"

"I'm going, it's been a long time since I've seen a movie with such hype. ”

"This kind of big talk, since there are still people who dare to say it. ”

"After "Love Apartment", this Du Yanling is a little inflated. ”

"Haha, does Chen Ziang know what Du Yanling said?"

"Who knows? Anyway, at the press conference, I didn't see Chen Ziang. ”

"Sure enough, it was that Chen Ziang, who was still very maverick, and he didn't even go to the press conference. ”

"It's too arrogant, it's even more arrogant than Du Yanling said that the box office started with one billion. ”

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to the release of this movie. ”

"Look at the box office results, if it is less than 100 million, and the blood is lost, then the jokes of this year and next year will be covered by him alone, haha"

“……”

People in the film industry suddenly became interested, and the film industry has not been so lively for a long time.

At the beginning, Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian, as dark horses, stood out one by one, and they were not so lively in the circle.

Chen Ziang's movie was about to be released, and as soon as the press conference started, it did not disappoint.

In the eyes of insiders, Chen Ziang is not a master who can settle down.

Billion?

This prediction is a bit frustrating.

The big directors in the film industry, the most famous, often have movies with a box office of less than 500 million.

One billion box office has always been a goal for big directors.

Even if he has a movie with a box office of more than one billion, it even reaches 1.5 billion.

But making a movie is actually not much different from the nature of gambling.
