Chapter 16: The Miracle of Xiangjiang Falls from the Altar?

"Director Zuo, are Ting Feng and Gillian bad?" Huo Wenxi bit his lip and said.

She still hopes that Zuo Mu can choose the two under her.

Zuo Mu frowned and said, "Miss Huo, it's not that Tingfeng and Gillian are bad, it's just that I think E God is more suitable." ”

He was a little puzzled, shouldn't Chen Yixun in 04 be more popular?

But looking at Huo Wenxi's appearance, she doesn't seem to be willing to let God E shoot.

"Director Zuo, wait a minute, I want to ask the opinions of the senior management."

Huo Wenxi apologized and walked out the door to make a call.

In fact, just now, when he decided to take over this play, a set of movies came to his mind.

The movie is called, La La Land.

Yes, he plans to make a Xiangjiang version of "La La Land", and now only Chen Yixun is more suitable for the image of the male protagonist under the Emperor's banner.

Xie Tingfeng....

It's a bit too handsome.

Even the moment Chen Yixun was designated as the male lead, he had already thought about who would play the heroine.

Yang Qianhua.

Tsk, the two debuted in the same year, one champion and one third runner-up, and now they are in the limelight in Xiangjiang, the key is that the two are still friends.

It must be very interesting to shoot this kind of singing and dancing romance.

Although the two have also collaborated before to play a couple in movies.

But a romantic comedy is as visually impactful as a pure romance film.

The more Zuo Mu thought about it, the more excited he felt, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

At this moment, Huo Wenxi came back.

I saw that her face was not very good and said: "Director Zuo, I'm sorry, E God he doesn't plan to make a movie this year, so..."

Huo Wenxi paused at this point.

Zuo Mu understood that his request was rejected by the emperor's top management.

"But our emperor is still very sincere in asking Director Zuo to shoot this "Senior Brother Xinzha", and the senior management said, 12 million."

Huo Wenxi pushed the script forward.

Truth be told, the price is just too tempting.

The light in his heart is constantly urging him to take this movie.

But he still wants to shoot the Xiangjiang version of "La La Land" in his mind.

"I took this "Senior Brother Xinzha"."

After all, Zuo Mu still held down the script on the table.

"What about the actors?" Huo Wenxi's face was filled with joy.

Zuo Mu glanced at her and said, "Just according to your emperor's wishes." ”

"Happy working together!" Huo Wenxi smiled.

"Wait Miss Huo, I still have a request, I want to ask God E to play the leading role in my next play."

"This, Director Zuo, didn't I just say that E God doesn't plan to make a movie this year."

Huo Wenxi's face turned cold.

"E-God has taken on another movie?" Zuo Mu continued to ask unwillingly.

In fact, he discovered just now that every time he mentioned God E, Huo Wenxi would be a little unnatural.

Although he was also a fan of Chen Yixun in his previous life, people who have not known Chen Yixun's career will not know that he was once refrigerated by the emperor for a year.

Seeing that Zuo Mu was so persistent, Huo Wenxi sighed and said: "Director Zuo, I won't hide it from you, E God he has been a little disobedient during this time, so the company has decided to temporarily suspend all his activities." ”

Zuo Mu was immediately shocked after hearing this.

You must know that at this time, God E won awards on both sides of the strait and won soft hands.

The song "Ten Years" made him lose his name and become "the man who sang for ten years".

The Emperor was willing to choose to hide this "cash cow" at this time.

Zuo Mu had to admire the courage of the Emperor.

"So, can I talk to your higher-ups?" Zuo Mu still didn't give up.

Huo Wenxi looked at the young man's serious eyes and smiled.

"Director Zuo, you won't be so naΓ―ve, this can't be solved by talking."

Huo Wenxi left with a meaningful look.

Looking at the script on the table blankly, Zuo Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed in his heart: This is the entertainment industry.

The idea of La La Land can only be put on hold for the time being.

The success of "Horror Cruise" may just be a fluke, and now he is worth asking the Emperor to spend 12 million to invite him to film, but this does not mean that he is qualified to interfere with the Emperor's decision.

You must know that Emperor at this time is definitely one of the most famous star-making factories in Xiangjiang.

It has its own rules.

Suddenly, he had a bold idea.

Since the current E God has a conflict with the Emperor, can you dig him into his own company?

But soon the idea was extinguished.

Because he realizes that the E god is a singer.

Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart.

He can be a copyist and copy those famous movies in his previous life, but he really doesn't know anything about music.

Making music is not just about simply copying the lyrics, but also arranging and producing.

He copied the movie, how could he understand this.

But he remembered that in his previous life, he had no impression of the fact that God E was hidden in the snow, as if he had never disappeared at all.

In other words, God E will not be hidden in the snow for too long.

Thinking of this, Zuo Mu became happy again.

Maybe it won't be long before "La La Land" will be screened in major theaters in Xiangjiang.

Time came to the day of the premiere of "Source Code".

In the early morning of February 1, the mainland, Xiangjiang, and America were released at the same time.

Whether it was a "Xiangjiang miracle" or a "flash in the pan", the next day's box office statistics gave everyone an answer.

"Source Code", Xiangjiang's first-day box office, 6.2 million!

As soon as this news came out, major media said that the "Xiangjiang miracle" in the past was just "hurt Zhongyong".

The Xiangjiang miracle has been reduced to a "joke".

From its release on February 1 to its offline release on March 1, Zuo Mu has made headlines in the entertainment section.

Going out to take a taxi was written by an entertainment reporter as "Xiangjiang Miracle Hitchhiker, Glory No Longer Becomes a Citizen".

Eating in a tea restaurant is written as [Xiangjiang miracle actually fell to a tea restaurant to eat pineapple buns? 】

Even the few people in Zuo's villa were written by reporters as "The miracle of Xiangjiang is no longer brilliant, and the workers are dismissed to pay off their debts"

Zuo Mu didn't plan to respond to these media, just quietly watched their performances.

But all filmmakers know that the criticism of these media is exaggerated.

Because "Source Code" was finally offline, the local box office performance in Xiangjiang still reached 68 million.

Although this box office result is not as terrifying as "Horror Cruise", it is definitely a unique existence in the local historical box office of Xiangjiang at that time.

And the Xiangjiang media wrote so exaggeratedly, just to win eyeballs.

But the performance of "Source Code" is indeed a little too far behind the history created by "Horror Cruise".

Then, on March 2, the box office statistics in the mainland came out.

Mainland box office: 32.6 million, unit (yuan)

A decent achievement, after all, Zhang Jiahui and Guan Yonghe were not well-known in the mainland at that time.

The major media that got the news once again started a wave of belittling of Zuo Mu.

Until March 3.

Golden Harvest announced the box office performance of "Source Code" in America.

America Box Office: 66 million in USD

At this moment, the entire media and entertainment circles in Xiangjiang are silent.

They only saw two words floating in the sky above the Xiangjiang River.

"Zuo Mu."
