Chapter 154 If you work hard, you will succeed
The reputation of the movie is actually very important, especially when the leading actors are not well-known and do not have appeal.
As a filmmaker, you always have to give the audience a reason to watch your movie, and stars can be used as such a reason, so basically movies like to invite stars with appeal to participate, and stars will have a high salary because of this.
If there is no star, then at least there must be a wonderful story that everyone praises, which can attract people with the movie itself, if there is no star and no story, then what will the audience watch in the cinema?
"Royal Senior Sister" has not yet been released, and the plot has been put in front of people, which is fatal for any movie, and Debao and Pan Disheng are furious about it.
When interviewed, Pan Disheng angrily condemned this immoral behavior, and bluntly said that he was killed, and someone made small moves behind his back to try to kill him.
It seems that this is indeed the case, but who wants to fix him? No one knows, no one has evidence, even if they guess in their hearts, they dare not say it, let alone the onlookers, Pan Disheng himself is like this.
Let's not talk about whether it has been suspected of Zhang Xiaoye's head, the strength of people who can do this kind of thing will not be bad, and in the face of such a person, if there is no evidence, they will be blind, even if they are unlucky in the end with complete evidence.
At this time, Pan Disheng was probably going to vomit blood in anger, but no matter how much he jumped, it was useless, people had already decided that "Royal Sister" was a bad movie, and the reason why such a movie could appear was because Pan Disheng wanted to pick up girls.
Look, people don't make movies for movies at all, but for women, it's strange to be able to make good movies with such a mentality, many people have such thoughts, so they scolded Pan Disheng.
This can no longer be said to be a decline, it is already a place of mourning, in such a noisy scolding, "Royal Sister" ushered in the premiere, although they still insisted on holding the premiere in the largest theater under the Golden Princess Cinema Line, but compared with others' lively and festive ones, this premiere was a bit miserable, and the atmosphere was not so good.
This can't be helped, the arrow has to be sent on the string, and it has come to the time to be released and the theater contract has been signed, there is no room for maneuver, no matter what, you have to do it.
And the result, of course, can not be so unexpected, the box office on the first day of the three-line combination is more than 300,000, according to this trend, the box office of 5 million will also be sky-high.
However, the box office of "Royal Sister" is not a normal trend, and it still starts high and goes low when the box office itself is not high, and the box office can only exceed one million in the first week.
Many viewers walked into the cinema with a strong curiosity, just to see if the plot that broke out in the newspaper was real and whether the movie was really so bad.
As a result, after these audiences entered the theater, they said that what was said in the newspaper was true, and persuaded others that there was no need to go to it.
In fact, it would be too absolute to say that "Royal Senior Sister" has no merit at all, and the fighting scenes in the movie are actually quite good, although Yang Ziqiong was completely suppressed by Luo Flo, but her performance is quite remarkable, and the two heroines also have a lot of highlights.
But there are so many negative reviews in the newspapers, and the audience who enters the theater is newly identified as a bad movie, and the result of watching the movie with colored glasses is that the highlights are ignored and the shortcomings are infinitely magnified.
With the full release of the movie, the negative evaluation continues, and this time Pan Disheng can't even defend himself, because the audience has already seen it, and the shortcomings are also facts.
In the end, the cumulative total box office of "Royal Sister" was less than three million, and the Xiangjiang market has always been the vane of the Waifu market.
For this movie, Pan Disheng lost at least several million, which is not much for him, only a few million, he definitely didn't pay attention to it, but if he loses his wife and soldiers, it doesn't seem so easy to accept.
For this, but what Zhang Xiaoye is looking forward to the most, he was very happy to see Pan Disheng planted so badly, and a phone call said that Yang Ziqiong had made an appointment to the café.
In the past, he almost didn't come to the café when he talked about things, either the hotel or the teahouse, but this time the mood was too wonderful, so he wanted to try something different, humming a little song into the store, and sat directly by the window.
Yang Ziqiong appeared as promised, he carried the coffee cup and said: "I don't know if you Malaysia is more accustomed to drinking tea or coffee, I helped you order a cappuccino, I hope it will be good for your taste." ”
"You seem to be in a really, really good mood. Yang Ziqiong sat down and said, "It doesn't matter what you drink, it's not the point anyway." ”
"You don't look the same today. Zhang Xiaoye stared at Yang Ziqiong for a while, and said: "How can I say it, I feel that you are also very relaxed and very open today, you used to be quite restrained when you saw me, but now you don't feel this way at all." ”
Yang Ziqiong said: "In the past, I respected you and respected you, the first person in Xiangjiang movies after Bruce Lee. Or it can be directly said that you have now surpassed Bruce Lee, and as an actor, I really admire you. ”
"Hey, don't talk like you don't admire me now. ”
"Admiration is indeed admiration, but it has nothing to do with respect, because I found that you are not a good person at all, and it is a waste of expression for me to hold such an attitude. ”
Yang Ziqiong clasped her hands and said, "You made those things out, right? Otherwise, the royal senior sister will not say how hot the box office is, at least it will not be so miserable as to lose money." It's impossible for this movie to win you, so why would you do that?"
Zhang Xiaoye supported his head on the table with his left hand, stirred the coffee with a small silver spoon with his right hand, and said: "I expected that this would not be a very successful movie, in fact, it is okay to sit and watch it, but I really don't know where your bottom line is, if you are satisfied with the box office of 18 million, then who do I cry to?"
Yang Ziqiong was silent, and after the waiter brought the coffee, she raised it and took a few sips without saying a word.
Zhang Xiaoye then said: "Of course, I did so much because of you, let you stay in Debao to make this kind of meaningless movie, and then wait for Pan Disheng to marry her after kicking his original wife, and after marriage, he will stop his husband and teach children, and I will not come back again when Pan Disheng is tired of you and kicks you too, I don't allow this kind of situation." ”
Yang Ziqiong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and asked, "How do you know so much?"
Zhang Xiaoye took a sip of coffee and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Although Pan Disheng didn't say it explicitly, I know very well that the reason why he invested me to make movies was really just to chase me, not to help me realize my dreams or anything, if I really agreed to him, I would not have the opportunity to make movies in the future, I could only be a noble wife. ”
"This, please, Xiangjiang's money is so good. Zhang Xiaoye said leisurely: "Most female stars want to use the road of becoming a star to squeeze into wealthy families, because those who are rich like to play female stars, but they forget that the real rich actually look down on their plays, and Pan Disheng is of course no exception." ”
"You're not the same. Yang Ziqiong took a long breath, Zhang Xiaoye hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "Alas, you can't say that, I can't say that I am rich compared to others, even if I am rich, it is because of the movie, I am a person in the circle, of course it is different." ”
Yang Ziqiong squinted her eyes and said, "I said that you also like to play female stars." ”
"Ahem. Zhang Xiaoye coughed twice and said, "I'll play, but I'm responsible, I'm responsible now." ”
"I haven't played yet. ”
"Look at you, now that you let go, you feel more unrestrained than me, can we not talk about playing at any time?" Zhang Xiaoye said helplessly: "Let's talk about this later, I'm talking about signing a contract with me now." ”
Yang Ziqiong nodded and said, "OK, when will you sign the contract?"
"So refreshing?" Zhang Xiaoye was surprised, originally thought that she would not agree immediately, there must be a lot of concerns, but he didn't expect to be unexpectedly decisive, which made him puzzled.
Yang Ziqiong said: "Do you know why I acted so relaxed? Because I had nothing to do, I used to think too much, but now I realize that I don't need those worries at all, I would have signed with you if I knew this." ”
"Well, it seems like something is going on? But forget it, if you're happy, that's what I'd like to see. Zhang Xiaoye seemed to have guessed something, and before he finished speaking, Pan Disheng had already come to the side with a black face, as if he had appeared suddenly.
He ignored Zhang Xiaoye, stared at Yang Ziqiong and said, "You have decided? Have you forgotten who brought you from Malaysia to Xiangjiang?"
Yang Ziqiong stood up, looked directly at Pan Disheng and said: "Mr. Pan, I will say again that you have listened to me, I Yang Ziqiong was born in Malaysia and graduated from the Royal Academy of Dance, and I came to Xiangjiang with you to sign a contract with your company." I'm not rescued from Africa by you, and I'm not a prostitute redeemed by you from the kiln, so don't look like you're kind to me, okay?"
"I'm your employee, not your confiner, if you can't say you're happy, you can hold it, and if you're not happy, you can use it to vent your anger. Let me tell you, I have a place to go in Xiangjiang, and even if I don't come to Xiangjiang, I can live a good life, and I don't need to rely on your charity. ”
Judging from her words, Pan Disheng has touched her bottom line, and Zhang Xiaoye watched gloatingly from the side.
