Chapter 377. The box office is dangerous

readx;

Time is pressing, here Chen Xiaotang is busy participating in the preparation of TVB's "Looking for Qin", and also planning for the release of the movie "Doomsday Danger" in Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info*.It can be said that there is no way to do it. But fortunately, the sixth aunt Fang Yihua helped him support him, so that the drama directed by him could be released in theaters under the Shaw Brothers. and charged a very low rental fee, which made Chen Xiaotang very grateful, you must know that he has paid too much for this play, and there is no extra money to pay for these expenses.

For this reason, Chen Xiaotang made up his mind that he must do his best to shoot the drama "Looking for Qin".

In fact, as a former senior executive of Shaw Brothers, Fang Yihua, who is very interested in movies, did not have much hope for the drama "Doomsday Danger" after watching the sample film sent by Chen Xiaotang.

First of all, the tone of this play is too sad, although the theme is very optimistic and positive, but it does not conform to the aesthetic views of Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong people, and the taste is not right; Secondly, the production cost of this drama is also very limited, and it is not too attractive to the Hong Kong people who take care of the incense ~ Hong Kong super blockbuster; Finally, except for the "box office poison" of Fa Ge, almost no stars joined in "Doomsday Danger", ----- Zhao Yazhi's role was also short-lived----- so it did not have a strong star effect. At most, there will be some die-hard fans of Chen Xiaotang himself.

I have to say that Fang Yihua has a good eye and basically guessed correctly.

One day after the release of "Doomsday", the box office came out, and the total box office of fifteen movie theaters was only 140,000 yuan, and on average, the box office was only more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and most of them were Chen Xiaotang's fans and fans who chartered the scene to watch the drama directed by their idol.

According to this box office degree. It is estimated that it will not last for ten days. This drama is about to be painted, and the total box office income will definitely not exceed 2 million, that is to say, it will be difficult for Chen Xiaotang to save his capital even if he wants to protect his capital this time!

Chen Xiaotang was stunned, although he also considered the poor box office, but he didn't expect it to be so unpopular when it was released in Hong Kong~Hong Kong. It looks like I was wrong in my prediction, and I'm going to lose a lot of money this time.

However, the only thing that comforted Chen Xiaotang was that the theme song of this play, "Atlantis", was welcomed by the majority of fans. And many critics in the music industry believe that although this song is not as flamboyant as Chen Xiaotang's previous songs. But there is a unique positive meaning. This song made the queen Mei Yanfang more agile and lively after singing.

In particular, the lyrics in this song ------ "Life is a battlefield, beautiful songs will bloom, and you will find your love." Silently guard me to learn to be strong, run to the window of the world, we step on the same sky, hold your tears, I can see the glimmer of happiness......"

It is also considered by many music critics to be a "stimulant" that inspires people to strive for the end of the world, and an indispensable "calcium" in human backbone!

In a word, the Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong music scene has reached the stage of "collective calcium supplementation!!

……

Then again, in response to the box office fiasco of Chen Xiaotang's new film premiere, those major media in Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong are interested in Chen Xiaotang's "debut~debut ~ debut" of popular fried chicken. It also gave a large report.

"The box office of "Doomsday Danger" became a crisis, and Chen Xiaotang suffered Waterloo!"

"Chen Xiaotang's new drama premiered a box office fiasco, and word-of-mouth box office failed!"

"One word is miserable, two words are miserable----- Chen Xiaotang's new drama is miserable and miserable!"

……

In response to the reports of these newspapers and magazines, some industry insiders also gave different views.

Singer Xu Guanjie: "How can I say it, no one can say for sure about making movies, otherwise everyone will be directors, who will be actors?!" Well, after all, directors are not born, I hope Tang Zai can work harder next time! ”

Chen Xiaotang's best friend Zhang Guirong: "I haven't watched this drama yet." But I will definitely watch it----- I believe that this drama filmed by Tang Tsai is definitely very sincere, and the reason why the box office is not good may be because the theme is too heavy and the audience is too small... Maybe with the rise of the word-of-mouth of this drama, the box office will get better---- in short. Come on! ”

Chen Xiaotang's wireless colleague Tang Zhenye: "Is the director someone who can do it." With so much money all in vain, there is really a set! It's not that I'm talking about him, Chen Xiaotang should have been his own actor, what kind of triple jump, this is good, jumping into the quagmire all of a sudden, I don't know if he can climb out------ oh no, I'm not gloating, I just want to say that a person should be self-aware, how big a head is to wear a hat! ”

In addition to these remarks, there are some more intense and sharp remarks, but most people believe that this drama has only been released for one day and does not represent the future box office trend, maybe Chen Xiaotang, who is good at creating miracles, will give everyone an unexpected surprise again. So a lot of people, looking forward to. Of course, some people say that this is a pipe dream!!

Regarding the poor box office on the premiere day of "Doomsday Danger", Chen Xiaotang can only hope that good news can come from Spain to help this side rise; Now it's useless to worry about it anymore, so it's better to prepare to star in "Looking for Qin" first.

But what Chen Xiaotang didn't expect next was that TVB would use such a lot of manpower and material resources to shoot this "Looking for Qin".

After the funds were in place, the great director Xiao Sheng gathered all the crew members together.

As the male protagonist, Chen Xiaotang sat in the front row, but what shocked Chen Xiaotang even more was that in addition to Qin Qing played by Zhao Yazhi, there were Weng Meiling and Zhang Manyu among the heroines of this play!!

Oh my God, it won't.

Chen Xiaotang couldn't cry or laugh, one was his girlfriend, the other was his little lover, and the most important thing was that they didn't know each other's existence.

God, you put the three of us in one crew, didn't you play me?!

In fact, Zhang Manyu is now a wireless incense~ Miss Hong Kong's runner-up is very popular, and the company wants to rely on this drama to praise her again. How did Chen Xiaotang know that he would meet her in this manner.

After Zhang Manyu saw Chen Xiaotang, she was first shocked and then happy, and then kept pouting and winking at him, meaning to greet him.

Chen Xiaotang looked at Weng Meiling, who was already affectionate beside him, like sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't have the courage to "say hello" to Zhang Manyu at all.

Zhang Manyu seemed to notice Chen Xiaotang's "coldness", and was a little unhappy, and his mouth was high-------

Chen Xiaotang was helpless, and said in his heart, this drama looks difficult to film.

In addition to Zhao Yazhi, Weng Meiling and Zhang Manyu, there are other actors in the crew of "Looking for Qin", including Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, Lan Jieying and Liu Jialing, who Chen Xiaotang knows.

The specific cast list is as follows:

Chen Xiaotang plays: Xiang Shaolong

Zhao Yazhi plays: Qin Qing

Weng Meiling plays: Shanrou

Zhang Manyu plays: Wu Yanfang

Huang Rihua plays: Lian Jin

Zeng Jiang plays: Zhao Mu

Lan Jieying plays: Zhao Qian

Liu Jialing plays: Zhao Ya

………

In addition to this, there are also some stars including Liang Chaowei who make guest appearances.

Just when Chen Xiaotang thought that all the actors had arrived, director Xiao Sheng suddenly said: "I almost forgot, I will introduce you to a newcomer, who is also the actor of Qin Shihuang, the ----son of this drama, Ah Jian, come here!" ”

With the words, a young man touched his scalp, stood up, and said to Chen Xiaotang and others: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Weijian, I am a new actor who has joined this play, I play the role of Gongzi Xiaopan, please take care of your brothers and sisters in the future!" ”

"Hehe, this young man is quite polite!"

"Yes, I'm not very old, and I look quite energetic!"

"What's it called, Zhang Weijian?! This kid is quite lucky, he has such a good role as soon as he comes up. ”

The others nodded.

"Zhang Weijian?" Chen Xiaotang was stunned for a moment. looked at the man carefully, but saw that the man was in his twenties, with a cunning and ghostly face, but he was not the "modern Wei Xiaobao" Zhang Weijian who always muttered in his previous life, "The cool breeze has a letter, the autumn moon is boundless, and my thoughts are like a year, although I am not a Yushu in the wind, chic and dignified, but I have a broad mind and strong arms", who is the "modern Wei Xiaobao" Zhang Weijian? !

In the previous life of Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong, Zhang Weijian was known as the "three ups and three downs" entertainment industry-level salted fish. Since he was in primary school, Zhang Weijian has found that he loves acting and researching people, and when he was in middle school, he developed a habit of sitting on the street watching people or taking a crowded bus, and he did not feel bored at all. Because then you can hear people talking. At the same time, every time the school holds a stage play, he always directs, screenwriters, actors, props (people), and single-handedly handles it, and his performance potential has been revealed.

After graduating from middle school, Zhang Weijian, who regards Chen Baiqiang as his idol, is also moving towards the goal of being a singer like the other party. And by chance, I got Zhang Guirong's phone number, called for a few months, and finally got through, and explained my situation to my brother. The elder brother listened carefully and asked Zhang Weijian to meet. Help him, in a competition, someone asked him about his relationship with Zhang Guirong, Zhang Weijian said to the outside world that Zhang Guirong was his cousin, and his brother acquiesced to this, "cousin" and has always supported him.

Later, his singing career did not go well, so he joined the "wireless" drama, due to the height restrictions of a baby face and out of rice, he could only play some small roles with detailed gags. In order to make a living, Zhang Weijian can only go to song halls and lounges as a resident singer. The guests weren't there to listen to the song at all, so he had to watch out for teacups and ashtrays to fly on stage at any time. For a while, he started filming every morning at the end of the morning, and then took the last train to Shenzhen to take the stage after finishing at 7 o'clock in the evening, but he was busy coming and going, but the remuneration he received was less than one-third of that of other singers, and all kinds of treatment that was not commensurate with his champion status only depended on him to adjust his mentality.

He said: "Even if the people of Quanxiang ~ Hong Kong know you, what will it be." I can ignore you as well. It's the so-called 'tree big wind'! What's more, I am not a tree that really grows healthily, I was originally a small seedling, but I was forced to grow overnight, and there is no normal time for me to grow gradually, so it is naturally easy to be toppled again. Even I pushed myself down and lost confidence in myself. But fortunately, it was only a loss of faith and not a dead heart. ”

At that time, Zhang Weijian was far from being able to treat fame and fortune objectively as he is now. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
