Lying on the sofa in the office at night and sleeping soundly, Li Xiaole kept receiving calls from different people to wake up, and the black hand hummed on the phone:
"Brother Xiaole, this movie is really bad, there are no explosions and no aliens, there is no jishu content at all, but the A-movie man and Cool Dragon they both say that they are good-looking, and after coming back from the movie theater, they seem to be neurotic, they have been learning the dialogues in it, and they are still making trouble sandwiching rat poison in bread to pit rats."
“…… Rely on ~ Congratulations in the middle of the night, as for using this tone like telling a ghost story! Slept~"
As soon as the phone hung up and rang again, this time it was Kim Jongmin's, and I heard him screaming excitedly inside, and I knew that he was drunk when I heard the voice: "Director, you are so good, I acted so well!" Everything was fantastic~! Next to him, I heard Zhao Xianzai's ghostly roaring and screaming.
Li Xiaole hung up on the phone directly speechlessly, and just went to bed, but heard a knock on the door.
"Who, in the middle of the night! It also makes people not sleep~"
Li Xiaole opened the door and saw the cold face of Lei Ting, who was dressed in black leather clothes, and the fire in his heart couldn't be released, so he got out of the way and let Lei Ting walk in.
"Sister Tingting, why didn't you come to the premiere tonight?" Li Xiaole looked at her with some complaints.
"We went to see your movie, and it wasn't bad." Lei Ting sat on the sofa and her voice was still so indifferent: "But I remember that it was clearly a comedy, and Shen Yinhe kept crying when I watched it?" I checked that the attendance was not very high, and it was about the same as I expected. ”
"Oh." Li Xiaole touched his head and understood the reason why Lei Ting came: "So today you are here to spy on me...... I'm afraid I'll run away, right? ”
"Of course." Lei Ting looked at him strangely with those black eyeshadow-shrouded eyes, took out a cigarette from her clothes purse, gently put it on her lips, lit it with a lighter, and the snow-white shell teeth slightly opened a burst of white mist, and said: "Actually, I gave you three hours to pack up your things and go back to China, Seoul Airport has two flights to Beijing tonight." ”
"I want to run." Li Xiaole deliberately made a bitter face: "But I'm worried that I'll run away and never find a girlfriend again, Sister Tingting, you don't have to be responsible for me." ”
"What am I responsible for?" Lei Ting was stunned at first, and reacted that Li Xiaole was teasing her, so she could only frown and shake her head, she was really a heartless boy, she was very interested in Li Xiaole joining Fuming Company in the future, and whether he would maintain this kind of comfortable attitude, weishenme He didn't seem to be afraid at all, it was really unreasonable.
***
Early in the morning, Li Xiaole woke up from his sleep, put his head out of the towel quilt, and saw Lei Ting in a trance was still the same as he was before going to bed, playing on the computer at the desk, and I don't know if she slept at night, got up and yawned, soaked a bun of beef instant noodles, and brought kimchi to the computer, looked at Lei Ting curiously and asked, "Is yesterday's box office statistics good?" ”
"Not so fast." Lei Ting shook her head, as if affected by the taste of instant noodles, her delicate eyebrows wrinkled together.
"Oops~What a delicious beef instant noodle~" Li Xiaole took the instant noodle bowl and blew it in front of Lei Ting with chopsticks: "It's a pity, it's just a pack~"
"This instant noodle contains 0.007 mg of polystyrene, which increases the chance of getting stomach cancer by 2.5% at the age of 30."
"Poof~~" Li Xiaole directly spit out all the instant noodles in his mouth, wiped his mouth with paper, turned his head and glared at Lei Ting fiercely, but her phone rang, Lei Ting answered the phone and fed: "What's the matter?" After listening to it for a few seconds, his face seemed to be solemn.
"What's the matter?" Li Xiaole asked curiously.
"This morning, a Ph.D. student from Dankook University's Department of Directing sued us for false advertising and filed a lawsuit with the Seoul court." Lei Ting's ruddy lips made a "sneer" sound:
"This kind of idiot, even if he can't see the wonderful footage, he won't be an idiot to prosecute, does he still expect those stupid investigators of the South Korean government to find out that the video was circulated from me?"
"Oh." Li Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief, and also listed the weishenme thing, the originality of this script has data, in my memory, this should be compiled by Director Yin Jijun himself next year, which onion is this Danguo doctoral student, but suddenly thought of when "Wuji" was released, because a kid made a small video of "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun", which went viral on the Internet, but it stimulated the box office.
Li Xiaole immediately picked up the phone and called Jin Nan, and after coughing twice to make sure that his throat was okay, he said to the phone: "Uncle Jin, we received a lawsuit in the morning, is it okay to put this lawsuit on the forum of the Yingxing Club, well, I will send you the specific information." ”
"Ghost Witty." Jin Nan smiled over there, and immediately understood that this was a good propaganda idea, this was obviously a very nonsensical lawsuit by the other party, and he had to hang it up, which was typical to arouse public anger.
After chatting a few words, Li Xiaole ended the call, he knew that Jin Nan had been insomnia for the past few days, and his mental state was not very good, so he estimated that he would go to Mi after finishing his errands.
In fact, even if Yingxing will ignore this little accident, the color is empty and has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, because it has been frantically forwarded everywhere by the "acting nerds" who have seen it.
Those nerds who originally came to see this movie with the intention of writing negative reviews have thoroughly liked the movie after watching "Color is Empty", and some even called it "a moving life story about college students that can be compared with the realistic theme of "Friends"." ”
This is not surprising, the director of this movie is a college student like them, without any background and no backstage, hot-blooded college students are more or less a bit of a grassroots plot, they were moved by the movie, they have long regarded Li Xiaole as their own incarnation, and desperately promoted "Color is Empty", of course, there are many people who are fans of Ha Ji Won, during this time Ha Ji Won was scolded on the Internet, and they have been suppressed for a long time, and now they finally have the opportunity to rehabilitate their idols, and it is not good to export their evil anger.
Li Xiaole kept browsing the movie page of Yahoo Korea's website, and there were many posts on the forum about the viewing experience of "Color is Empty", but there was no trace of human carving in it, and they were all real moviegoers.
said that the movie was very funny and touching, and the voice accounted for the majority: "The screenwriter of this story (daomengren watch the fastest update) must be a college student, too good, too raw (remember the fastest update of daomengren in a second) moved!" I highly recommend everyone to watch it, the Kim Jong-min in it is so funny, and the supporting roles are even better", "Who the fuck said this is a fourth-level film!" It's obviously a pure love drama! Heroine. ”
However, what makes Li Xiaole feel helpless is that there are still some people who are replying: "Shit movies, vulgar jokes, I don't know the so-called story, it's funny, you idiots like to watch people eat shit, do you think it's funny!?" ”
Of course, what made Li Xiaole happy was that the crazy fans of Ha Ji Won below did not let them go, and a large number of replies scolded: "Damn, have you finished watching the movie?" As the saying goes, what the eyes see is what the heart thinks, the Buddha sees everyone as a Buddha, and the shit looks at everyone as shit, and you really just confirm this sentence. ”
There is also a famous film critic in the film review, "Yi Sunsin, the King of Ships", wrote: "The whole article imitates the traces of American commercial films, piling up jokes and sensational elements, although the technique is old-fashioned, but it is similar to the style of Korean local films, is this kind of movie good or bad?" Anyway, I don't think there's anything funny about the jokes in it, is it true that all those students in Seoul live like this now? ”
Li Xiaole dragged the mouse and said secretly in his heart: Of course, old and old-fashioned, now it's all information shijie, I thought it was still as closed as you were during the military government before, and all shijie college students were the same.
However, Li Xiaole never thought that everyone would like the movie "Color is Empty", after all, it is aimed at the young market, and the audience of 16-25 years old he wants to win, those who like literary films or deep themes will not be interested in "Color is Empty".
The box office statistics on the first day of release came out in the afternoon, and the box office statistics of the current theater chain in Seoul are all internal data that have not yet been networked, but there is nothing that Lei Ting can't find, she turned on her computer and easily entered the database of the Qinus Cinema Line, checked the box office records, and her eyes showed a hint of surprise:
"On the first day, there were 952 people in the three cinemas...... Well, this result is quite good, the number of viewers on a single screen of more than 70 people is close to the score of 85 people on a single screen of "Friends", which was released at the same time and has almost gone offline. ”
Li Xiaole looked at the screen and estimated in his heart, although this result is not too good, it can completely exceed other people's expectations, after all, although it is an all-screen promotion, there are only 3 cinemas to show it, and the audience is only a small circle of people in the university.
"With this trend, it's hard to recoup your costs." Although Lei Ting was a little surprised, she was still not optimistic about what chance Li Xiaole could have, and kindly reminded him: "The box office of the first week of the movie is very important, I estimate that if it does not win 80,000 viewers in the first week, it means that the movie will definitely not reach the bottom line of recovering the cost of 120,000 viewers." ”
Lei Ting naturally understands that the key to this lies in whether the Qinus Cinema Line will broadcast it in other theaters under its umbrella, they have fifteen theaters, if "Color is Empty" is released at the same time, even if it is just a college student theater, it can definitely recover the investment, but the question is will the other party support Li Xiaole's movie?
"I'm going to write the script, you read it slowly." Li Xiaole stretched very relaxed, walked to his computer, and created a new script called "Let the Bullets Fly", he was a little excited, he didn't believe that he had any hope of mixing in this industry before last night, but now he has complete confidence, although he wants to come step by step, but he still can't help but write out the movie scripts he wants to shoot the most.
Lei Ting looked at Li Xiaole's appearance, and thought to herself, this kid is really hopeless, and he is discouraged and writing the script of a fourth-level film.
