Chapter 303: The Beginning [Fourth Update]
The next day, in Asia, except for a few small countries in Southeast Asia, as well as port cities and treasure islands, almost all countries are showing Xiao Yi's new movie - "Thai"!
Xiao Yi's film officially went abroad and entered the eyes of the people of all Asia. X
In order to make it more suitable for people from other countries to watch this movie, Xiao Yi changed many jokes in the original script. After all, some unique jokes in China are not necessarily known to people in other countries.
At the same time, Mercury Entertainment's new movie is also being released simultaneously across Asia, and their movie is called "People on the Way"!
That's right, the movie in the annual plan that Xiao Yi gave to Sister Li, and then let Park Taixi and others get is the first part of "People on the Way"! and he filmed the second part himself, "People in the Journey".
Xiao Yi is not afraid that his movie is not as good as this movie that was deliberately leaked to Mercury Entertainment.
The practice of the previous life has proved that only the second film in the series, "Thai", is the most successful and can take the whole of Asia by storm.
Sure enough, when the box office statistics on the first day of the movie came out, the gap between the two sides was revealed.
On the first day of release, the total box office of "Thai" in Asia reached nearly 300 million Chinese coins, while the box office of "People on the Way" was only more than 100 million, and most of them were local Chinese box office.
And many moviegoers, especially foreign audiences, also commented on the two films.
"It can be seen that these two movies are from the same series, but "Thai" is more in line with our taste, and I can't understand a lot of the content of "People on the Way". This was the comment of a Central Asian viewer.
""Thai" is so funny, it's so good. But another Chinese movie is inexplicable, I watched the whole movie and only understood that the two men encountered all kinds of troubles along the way in order to go home, which was not interesting. This is a comment from a South Asian audience.
"Although I don't like Xiao Yi as a person, I have to say that his movie is really good, very funny, and very good-looking. But another film is really inexplicable, is it an art film?" was the comment of a Korean viewer.
"I heard before that Mercury Entertainment stole Xiao Yi's movie script, but now it seems that the matter is true, and the two movies are obviously a series. However, Mercury Entertainment is still so substandard, although it stole the script, the things filmed are indeed not as good as Xiao Yi's own shots. This is a comment from a Chinese viewer.
When Park Taixi saw these comments, his face darkened, and he was counting on this movie to squeeze Xiao Yi and beat him with his own movie, but he didn't expect that two movies of the same type would be two completely different results.
And just as Park Tae-seo was looking at these reviews with a depressed face, as well as the box office reports of the two films, his secretary broke into the office without even knocking on the door.
"Mr. Park, it's not good. ”
"What are you doing, don't you need to knock before you enter, get out of here!" Park Taixi roared loudly with a blue face.
The secretary was stunned for a moment, and then said with an intersecting face: "Mr. Park, the big thing is not good, those three-star and four-star artists in our company will terminate the contract with the company!"
"What? What are you talking about?" the secretary's words made Park Taixi stunned for a moment, and then strode up to the secretary, grabbed him by the collar and asked loudly.
"Mr. Park, just now we received calls from several artists, saying that they wanted to terminate their contracts with our company. The secretary said with a bitter face
"Terminate the contract? They dare! We signed the contract, are they willing to pay those liquidated damages?"
"Mr. Park, the problem is that they may not need to pay liquidated damages at all, we will breach the contract first. The secretary said dejectedly.
"What's going on, where did we break the contract?"
"Do you remember what we promised these artists when we signed them at the end of last year?" the secretary asked.
"You're talking about making them two-star artists in Asia?" asked Park Tae-hee.
"Yes, but it's already December, and it's going to be over this year, but, but our artists don't even have a person who has entered the Asian two-star artist!"
"No, haven't we filmed a lot of film and television dramas this year? Their artist level should be improved, right?" In the second half of this year, he has been busy with other things and paid little attention to the company's affairs.
"Have you forgotten that in addition to this movie, which has been released now, other film and television dramas are difficult to shoot, the technical requirements are too high, and the production cycle is also very long, and it has not been completed at all!"
Park Tae-seo also remembered that the people in the company did tell him about it before, but he was busy with other things at the time, so he let the people in the company watch and deal with it themselves.
"You go and call all the senior executives of the company to me, as well as the artists who want to terminate the contract. Park Taixi pondered for a moment.
"Okay, I'll go right away. With that, the secretary turned and walked out of the office.
After a while, the company's management came, and several artists didn't come, but just sent their own economists.
Park Taixi looked at these agents and couldn't help frowning, but thinking that if these artists really terminated the contract with the company, the company's loss would be very large, so he could only temporarily suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, I already know about your artists wanting to terminate the contract, and I will explain here about the company's promise to let them rise to Asian two-star artists within a year, it is the company's lack of consideration, I didn't expect the production cycle of those film and television works to be so long, so that it can't be released this year." However, I can guarantee that it will be released next year, next year, and then they will be able to rise to two Asian stars. ”
As soon as Park Taixi finished speaking, an agent said: "Mr. Park, it's not that we don't believe in the company, nor do we deliberately embarrass the company." It's okay to have a long production cycle for one or two film and television dramas, but the company only has one movie released this year, so we have to worry about whether the company's plans are really feasible. ”
Park looked at the agent who spoke and knew that he was the only artist in the company who had risen to the five-star level last year.
smiled and said: "I know, I know everyone's concerns, but everyone should also know that it is not the company that intends to break its promise, the film and television drama has been filmed, and now it is only in post-production, and it is only a matter of time before it is released, not that the company has not implemented the plan, I hope you can understand." ”
......
Park Tae-seo is trying his best to caress these artists, and on the other side,
