Chapter 80: Real Life (8)

Thanks to Hi! The first month of the box office performance of "That Lovely Magic Stick" was excellent, so the film's release period in major theaters was extended from one month to 60 days.

This is the norm in the industry. For general films, when the distribution company and the cinema chain issue a contract, the screening period is basically one month, and the film with poor results will be released in advance, and the screening will be extended if the results are good. In this regard, the theater chain has a lot of autonomy, completely following the market-oriented operation, and the high attendance rate will naturally have to show a few more shows, and those who can't sell tickets must not waste resources to be empty one by one, and they will inevitably get off the film in advance.

It's just that at this time, it is the end of the year, and it is a hot-selling movie schedule, and all new films are rushing to be released, extending the "Hi! The screening of "That Lovely Magic Stick" must have crowded out other films.

It didn't take long for someone to start looking for him, saying "Hi! The box office of the drama is brushed out, and it is suspected of creating false numbers!

At the beginning, it was just one or two entertainment news, and it was very vague to say that some netizens questioned the behavior of "Hi" being released in theaters around the country and saving zΓ i to brush the box office. Gradually, there were more people spreading such remarks, and even some people claiming to be staff members of a certain theater anonymously broke the news, saying that the midnight records of the "Hi" drama in their midnight show were all more than 100% attendance, and it was an unlikely concept that all the midnight shows were full, and there were 11% or even 12% such ridiculous records, the authenticity of which can be imagined.

Some people took this opportunity to lash out at the "Hi" drama, and public opinion began to accuse this kind of fraud.

After all, Director Cai Jun has not been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and his Taoism is not deep enough, so when he came to find Zhou Yin, his face was so angry that his face turned blue.

Zhou Yin smiled, "The promotion and distribution of our film was later entrusted to Hengya Entertainment, maybe Hengya really did the box office, how can you guarantee that it didn't do it?" ”

Director Cai Jun was dumbfounded for a moment, thinking that this was really possible, and said for a long time, "You mean that those who broke the news really broke the news with evidence?" ”

Zhou Yin, "That's not necessarily, but which movie doesn't brush the box office now?" Only those who are really incapable will not brush. So they think that this kind of material is a good one. ”

Director Cai Jun sat down in a daze.

Zhou Yin comforted him, "The current entertainment industry is like this, it is indeed a little chaotic, but the system will always gradually improve." In fact, no matter whether the box office is brushed or not, the final success of a film still depends on its own strength. ”

Director Cai Jun sighed, "That's right, but the public doesn't care about this, now the gun is the first bird, just pick us out to talk about things, and make a noise of accusations and criticism, I'm afraid that the more trouble will become, the stricter it will be, and it will not be good if a small problem ferments into a big event." ”

Zhou Yin nodded, he had thought of this worry before. In the entertainment industry, you can't be negligent at any β–‘β–‘, because many ordinary people have this herd mentality, and everyone will blindly follow it together, and the more they blow, the better; The bad ten thousand people scolded together, scolded with justice and awe-inspiring, and gritted their teeth, as if they had all seen the truth with their own eyes! If there are grandstanding people who purposefully dig deep and instigate, it will ferment into a big crisis!

"Don't worry, I've already found someone to deal with this matter, and it will be effective in a few days."

Director Cai Jun went back and waited patiently for a few days, and the direction of public opinion really took a big turn.

First of all, some enthusiastic netizens gradually began to question it, for example: The "Hi" drama is really good-looking, and I watched it twice, once with my girlfriend and once with my boyfriend. People like her, who rarely get to the cinema once or twice a year, have contributed four tickets! And the results of the "Hi" drama were only the third at the box office that year! According to her understanding from the people around her, many of her friends have watched the "Hi" drama, but they have not seen the first and second ranked two films, why do you have to say that the number of jΓΉ in this one is brushed out of the box office, this is unreasonable!

Then there were enthusiastic netizens with "technical expertise" who explained: He also felt that it was unreasonable, so when he was bored, he deliberately checked the two sources who broke the news about the box office of the "Hi" drama at the beginning, and the result was - he couldn't say anything more on the Internet, he could only say that this was some unreasonable and bad means in peer competition!

The latter post has a high click-through rate, and the comments are varied, and there are even a bunch of people who reprimand don't talk nonsense without evidence, otherwise it is difficult not to doubt his identity and motives.

Suddenly, many people came out to speak for this netizen! It was when a large number of water armies, netizens, and gunmen from various families were arguing on the Internet that the two entertainment news networks that were the first to break the news that the "Hi" drama had ticket swiping actually put out an apology statement, saying that the source was found to be untrue, and the relevant personnel had been held accountable.

The spokesperson of the "Hi" drama came out in a timely manner, saying that now that the network environment is developed and the amount of information is huge, it is inevitable that there will be times when the screening is not strict, as long as the facts are clarified and the "Hi" drama is innocent, they will not pursue it too much, I just hope that everyone can continue to watch the film happily and have a good holiday, which is the greatest wish of all the members of the "Hi" drama!

Such a high profile naturally won a praise.

Director Cai Jun didn't expect the matter to be solved so happily, at first he thought that Zhou Yin had entrusted the relationship, and asked the senior management of Hengya Entertainment to mediate the matter, but later he found out that it was not.

That is what Zhou Yin himself found someone to deal with in private, and Director Cai Jun almost admired Zhou Yin so much!

And Zhou Yin, who was admired by Director Cai Jun to the point of throwing himself to the ground, was facing a red-haired little girl on the video call screen at this time.

Laura smirked, "Zhou, your network environment over there is very chaotic, and the unnecessary links are very strictly supervised, I will help you track the information records of those posters and then have to anonymously send warnings from me to them, let them change their words, and follow up supervision or something, there is a disobedient person, I also have to attack his private computer, from a mess of garbage to screen out the materials that can threaten him, but it took me a lot of effort, all because of you." ”

Zhou Yin was helpless, "Miss, I asked Li Ziqing to help me do this, how do I know that he will hand it over to you!" ”

Laura, "I don't care, it's a favor for you, you have to thank me!" Don't use anything else, it's still the same condition last time, find a beautiful and romantic place, and kiss me for five minutes! ”

Zhou Yin was about to be defeated by this kissing enthusiast, with a straight face, "I'm gay, I don't kiss women!" ”

Laura didn't even mind, like a trumpet pervert, she said happily, "Anyway, you have to thank me, I haven't kissed you such a beautiful gay yet, come on, you're welcome!" ”

Zhou Yin almost knocked on the screen, "Who is polite to you!" I don't care, I've already thanked Li Ziqing with a mathematical formula for this matter, why thank him twice, if you want to kiss him, kiss him! ”

Laura wrinkled her face, "Don't! He has a wife, and he's not as pretty as you! "Wait for the summer party on the island of Romos, and let's go to the small valley of Nata where the scenery is beautiful and perfect for kissing." After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Yin to answer, and cut off the call after giving him a flying kiss.

Zhou Yin had no choice but to think about it, let's wait for the summer to talk about it.

======

Hengya Entertainment Company is going to hold a large-scale year-end party, and Zhou Yin's assistant Xiaojie came to ask him if he would participate?

Zhou Yin, "I haven't terminated the contract with them yet, why don't you go?" Of course go! ”

In this kind of large-scale gathering, you can meet many well-known directors and producers, you can communicate with those who have cooperated, and you can get to know the relationship with Lala if you have not cooperated, which can be regarded as a resource provided by the company to these artists.

This is Zhou Yin's last year-end meeting at Hengya Entertainment, so naturally there is no reason to give up.

In the evening, I deliberately found very formal clothes, and just as I was about to leave, Li Ziao called, "At Hengya's year-end cocktail party in the evening, I also received an invitation, you wait for me, let's go together." ”

Zhou Yin wondered, "You took your girlfriend there, what are you going to do with me?" ”

Li Ziao sighed on the other end of the phone, "Alas, I was just dumped by my girlfriend yesterday, and no one took me today, so I suddenly remembered that you should also go, then let's go all the way, you wait, I've come out, let the driver turn around and go to you, and you can get there in a while." ”

Li Ziao's girlfriend is an executive of a foreign-funded company here, she has shares in the company, and her annual salary is ridiculously high, she is a standard strong woman, in terms of net worth, appearance, and ability, she is no worse than Li Ziao, so she is very qualified to take the initiative to dump people.

Zhou Yin could only smile when he heard the news, knowing that the two people were probably playing, and no one took it seriously, so Li Ziao said that it was so easy to be dumped.

had to send his assistant Xiaojie, who was about to drive him, back and waited for Li Ziao to go with him.

Fortunately, Li Ziao is not a woman, and on this occasion, he himself also needs to socialize with those bosses who have business dealings, and there is no need for Zhou Yin to accompany him all night, everyone can be busy with their own work.

Zhou Yin is already very sophisticated in dealing with this kind of staggered and celebrities from all walks of life, and his main task is to find a few veteran directors who are very famous in the industry and have cooperated with them before, and strive to chat with everyone for a few words, first, to say hello after not seeing each other for a long time, and secondly, to see if they have any plans to make new films recently and whether they have suitable roles.

Zhou Yin is now popular, and there are indeed two people who have the intention of inviting him to film, and it is inconvenient to talk in detail at the reception, so they made another appointment for a meeting time later.

This is easy to say, but it takes a lot of effort to do, those directors are all fragrant and sweet at the drinking party, and when you talk to them, you have to seize the opportunity not to say it, and there are many acquaintances in the middle, and when Zhou Yin finishes talking to the last director he can find tonight, and then politely chats with the eldest sister in the film industry Da Su Hong for a while, most of the drinking party has passed.

Zhou Yin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that tonight's task was almost completed, and just as he was about to go to find Li Ziao, he saw a tall and straight man walking towards him with the pot-bellied boss of Hengya Entertainment, it was Shen Jialing!

Behind the two of them was a rookie male star wearing a tight black suit and a very handsome appearance.

Zhou Yin frowned, thinking to himself what kind of formation this is?
