Chapter 80: Schadenfreude
"!"
is also in Shanghai, seeing the news that "A Good Show" is about to start, Wu Xiaofei's mood is completely different from Tian Xiaoling.
Tian Xiaoling was excited and looking forward to it, but he was jealous and scolded directly.
At the Yenching Film Festival, he didn't win any awards, but Fang Bo won the Best New Director Award.
"Dream Chaser" was hastily withdrawn a few days after its release, and it failed miserably at the box office, and it lost a mess. "Night Club" has a box office of over 100 million, and it has regained dozens of times the income with a small cost.
He has a terrible reputation in the film industry, and he doesn't even want to make movies anymore. Fang Bo got tens of millions of investment from Huarui Film and Television and was ready to shoot a second movie.
The current situation of the two is very different, Wu Xiaofei is simply envious, jealous and hateful, especially when he can't see Fang Bo a little good, I wish Fang Bo was unlucky, he is so good-looking and lively.
At this moment, when he saw the news that the preparation of "A Good Show" was completed and the film was about to be officially launched, he was so jealous that he turned into annoyance, and he was so angry that he even gritted his back molars.
Throwing the phone aside, Wu Xiaofei secretly hated: "Code, let you be happy for a while, and soon you won't be able to laugh." ”
Others don't know, but he knows, Wu Shaolin's new movie has already found investment, and it will be officially approved soon, as soon as the news is released, who will pay attention to "A Good Show"?
It is conceivable that Fang Bo can only be reduced to a foil, and the limelight is destined to be covered.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaofei's mood finally improved a little, and he couldn't help but feel proud again.
"Dream Chaser" was sprayed like this, he really can't make a movie, but he also has a father who is a well-known director!
Relying on Wu Shaolin's fame, Wu Xiaofei finally felt that he was better than Fang Bo this time, and he was immediately overjoyed, got up and paced back and forth in the room.
"Hmph, Fang Bo, in front of my dad, your little score is not even a dime!"
……
Fang Bo didn't know that Wu Xiaofei was still secretly jealous of himself, and even if he knew, he didn't have the heart to deal with him now.
"A Good Show" is about to start, and Fang Bo is busy checking whether the preparations in all aspects are proper, where is there time to pay attention to Wu Xiaofei.
In fact, the film has been in preparation for so long, but there is nothing else, mainly the logistics on the island.
Since the set work had just begun, and it was still far from being finalized, the shooting plan was to start with the plot that needed to be filmed on the island.
The island is located at sea, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation of so many people in the crew are all troublesome, and the safety of filming should also be paid special attention to.
So after the press conference, Fang Bo focused on checking this aspect of the matter, and tried not to make mistakes when filming started.
At the same time, after the publicity of Huarui Film and Television, the popularity of "A Good Show" on the Internet slowly fermented, and gradually more people knew about this movie.
"Isn't it not long after "Night Club" was released, and Fang Bo's new movie was prepared so quickly?"
"I've watched Fang Bo's "Night Club", it's quite funny, this time it's another comedy, it shouldn't be bad."
"Eh, the heroine is Yuan Lu, I still like this actress."
"Huang Jingshan is definitely an acting school, and Yuan Lu's acting skills are also very online, but this Li Hao makes me a little entangled, can he act well, won't he be like in "Dream Chaser", right?"
"The movie of Goddess Yuan Lu must support a wave."
“……”
Just when the popularity of "A Good Show" was gradually expanding, a big news suddenly stole all the limelight from the film industry.
On October 8, Huanyu Film and Television announced that Wu Shaolin's new film "The Battle Against Time" was officially approved!
According to the information released, the estimated production cost of this sci-fi movie alone is as high as 530 million, and there is no doubt that it is a big production. The list of actors to be invited to audition is full of first-line actors and traffic stars, and the final cast must be very luxurious.
The well-known director Wu Shaolin, 530 million investment, and the gathering of big-name stars, these keywords together instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
Although the film has just been established, and even the audition has not yet begun, there is very little information released by Huanyu, but there are too many points that can be discussed.
What does the name of "The Battle Against Time" mean, who will be the male and female leads, what will be the direction of the plot of the movie, etc.
People are scrambling to discuss these topics online, and the fans of the traffic stars who are going to be invited are even more noisy.
After all, there are only two leading actors in a movie, and the rest are supporting roles, and fans of traffic stars usually care a lot about the position, and whoever is in front and who is behind on a poster can quarrel for a long time, not to mention this kind of competition on the surface.
The curious onlookers of ordinary audiences and the fierce debates of celebrity fans hyped up the popularity of this movie extremely high, and even overshadowed several commercial blockbusters released on National Day.
In this case, "A Good Show" was naturally forgotten by people.
Wu Xiaofei was happy now.
On the one hand, his jealousy was haunted, and he gloated when he saw Fang Bo being frustrated. On the other hand, who asked Fang Bo to use Li Hao as the second male lead, just for this reason, he didn't want to see the success of "A Good Show".
Wu Xiaofei has always felt that the failure of "Dream Chaser" is not all due to himself, and the actors in it are also partly responsible.
If it weren't for their lack of acting skills and the essence of drama-style performances, they wouldn't have been complained about by the audience as exaggerated.
So he always looked forward to the failure of "A Good Show", and it was best to be criticized by the audience for the actors' performance problems after the release.
In this way, it is equivalent to justifying his name.
I can't be blamed for the failure of "Dream Chaser", my intentions were good, but the actors didn't play well, which led to problems. I don't believe you, Li Hao still didn't do well in "A Good Show".
With such an idea, Wu Xiaofei was extremely happy to see the popularity of "A Good Show" plummet.
Anyway, the director can't be the director, and he has nothing to do now, so he holds his mobile phone every day to watch entertainment news, as long as he can't see the news about Fang Bo, he feels happy.
Fang Bo, Fang Bo, you also have today, let you taste my original taste!
……
However, what Wu Xiaofei didn't expect was that Fang Bo would not be bothered by the decline in popularity at all.
In the past few days, he was busy checking all the preparations, and he didn't care about the public opinion on the Internet at all, at most he knew that Wu Shaolin's new movie had been established, and he didn't pay attention to anything else.
It wasn't until all the preparations were confirmed that the movie finally came to the official start.
Since the filming location is in the South China Sea, on October 11, the crew members of "A Good Show" began to go to Qiongzhou in batches, where they will take a boat to the island.
Of course, the conditions on the island are limited, and the start-up banquet will definitely not be possible.
After thinking about it, Fang Bo advanced the time of the start-up banquet, and everyone had a meal in Qiongzhou first, and then they would take a boat to the island.
