Chapter 565: Scorched
The second part of "Home Alone" is related to the first.
It's not just at the actor level.
The plot is also more or less similar.
New year.
During the National Day holiday.
Ma Yuxuan, who did not travel to Cheng last time because he was forgotten at home, is still preparing to go abroad to enjoy this rare leisure time with his family this year.
His careless mom and dad certainly won't forget to bring him this time.
It's just that their personality hasn't changed much.
The plane is ready to take off.
The family rushed to the airport.
It's not good to be busy.
This time, Ma Yuxuan was not forgotten at home.
However, I was forgotten at the airport at the time of check-in.
By accident, I boarded a flight to another country!
The first time he came to a big city that was completely unfamiliar to him.
The clever and mischievous Kevin can't help but be secretly afraid.
Worse.
He actually ran into the two stupid thieves who were badly repaired by him in his house in the previous episode.
The two had just escaped from prison.
Happened to run into Kevin.
This time, of course, it will be a shame.
Thereupon.
Kevin's battleground has moved from his home in the previous episode to Central Park, hotels, Toys "R" Us, and old houses abroad.
Advantages of comedy.
It's innate.
It can be described as the C position of the film market.
Because the audience is wider.
So it's not weaker than special effects films at all.
Plus there is a word-of-mouth guarantee for the first part.
This film made countless families enter the theater as soon as it was released.
Tickets sold out fast.
The first week of release.
"Home Alone" cut a full 140 million.
Although it is lower than the 190 million in the first part.
But don't forget.
The first part was released during the Spring Festival the year before last.
What time is it.
Such a comparison.
The box office is really not low.
And most of the series comedy films.
Almost all of the box office trends are on a downward trend.
There are very few latecomers who can catch up.
Not to mention that the theme of "Home Alone" is too restrictive.
I want to create infinite brain holes in a limited scope.
It was really not easy.
This is also the fundamental reason why the box office began to fall off a cliff after the third part.
It's too much of a test of screenwriting skills.
The write is repeated.
Nothing new.
The audience gradually didn't buy it.
Let's not repeat it.
There is so much inspiration.
It's hard to be a man.
So sometimes it's good to do it in moderation.
Let's take a look at the new film "Father-Daughter Love" invested by Galaxy Entertainment.
only got a box office of 34.42 million in the first week.
went directly to the street and went to grandma's house.
Even if the cost is not too high.
Outside media reported that there were only around 40 million.
Only high, not low.
But I can't stand it and no one cares.
The theme of realistic family affection is enough to tear-jer in some plots.
But the stiffness of the script can be felt by the audience.
If the language of the lens is not clear.
Then they can't concentrate even the most basic of attention.
What else is empathy to talk about?
According to the critics.
In this "Father-Daughter Love" film.
All the lines are in the style of a man and a woman crying.
More than 30% of the shots are scenic films of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
There are also 20% of the footage interspersed with meaningless back and forth.
The remaining 50% is barely the main plot line.
Let's put it in human terms.
The audience who has paid for it is the easiest to be satisfied.
As long as the technology is good.
Put in the effort.
The old man will always be at your mercy.
Crying and laughing.
But the whole film is hollow and tired, stiff and forced to transition.
Who the hell can give you a good face?
Make hay?
Earn the northwest wind still.
I don't know if it's hard to write at the source of the script.
But there are definitely a lot of problems with the shooting.
Galaxy Entertainment here.
Shao Xiaogang took the report and glanced at it and threw it away.
The stark numbers are a bit too spicy.
Out of sight.
Don't be upset.
The director of this "Father-Daughter Love" has actually worked together several times before.
The vision and money-making aspect is trustworthy.
Shao Xiaogang has been grinding with several other film companies for a long time.
only got a fraction of the actual cost of 35 million.
But who would have thought that this film was so bad.
It just collapsed.
It only sold more than 34 million in the first week.
And so it goes.
Not to mention making money.
Cost recovery is an issue.
Shao Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh.
It is not excluded that there is the influence of the sniper of the CΓ΄te d'Azur company.
How big of an impact can it be?
The other party did not force all the audience to be escorted to the viewing hall.
Go back to the roots.
Isn't it because word of mouth can't get up?
Doesn't attract people.
That's good.
Millions are gone down the drain again.
Not much to lose.
Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.
"Knock knock~"
Just as he was thinking.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Enter."
Shao Xiaogang raised his head.
Then.
Feng Ying from the music department walked in slowly.
I was a little surprised to see a few pieces of paper scattered on the ground.
But she hurriedly adjusted her facial expression.
"Mr. Shao, these are the three singers who are preparing to release an album in early May, take a look." Feng Ying handed him the information.
"Okay, you don't need to show it to me, you can arrange it directly." Shao Xiaogang hurriedly waved his hand.
"Okay, Mr. Shao, but the publicity fee is here, you see," Feng Ying asked tentatively.
"Nope."
Shao Xiaogang is uncomfortable when he hears the money now: "Let them send it directly, now all the singers in the company are treated equally, and no money is allowed in publicity." β
In the first place, it was to deal with the CΓ΄te d'Azur company.
Burned too much money on the .A girl group.
In addition, the aspect of the movie has not improved.
The financial accounts are very bad right now.
It can only be a temporary relaxation.
Cut back on other people's spending.
"I see."
Feng Ying roughly understood the reason in her heart, but then she hesitated: "There is still something I need to tell you, Mr. Shao." β
"No one else, just say it." Shao Xiaogang glanced at her dissatisfied.
"Well, it's about. A girl group, before their previous "Flame" album sold the best and most popular, I signed a lot of follow-up commercial performance contracts for them, and the price given was not low, like what brand activities, ceremonies, online promotion or something, are relatively high-end and easy work, but since the rise of the X girl group, these partners can't sit still, and recently they have invited me to dinner for three days, so I hope I can cancel the contract, they would rather pay a small part of the liquidated damages, and they don't want to perform according to the contract. You see." Feng Ying said truthfully.
Shao Xiaogang was very angry when he heard this, and immediately slapped the table and said, "What do you mean, they want to put . A girl group changed to X girl group? β
"I didn't say it, but the idea should be this idea." Feng Ying said.
"No, the X girl group is fire, but. A girl group is currently a first-class group in China, is the gap so big? Shao Xiaogang didn't understand.
"The two were pretty much the same in the early days, but recently. The commercial performance offer of the A girl group is no longer comparable to that of the X girl group, and it has fallen sharply. Feng Ying explained.
"Just because the other party is an international girl group? Open the American market? β
Shao Xiaogang heard a burst of fire.
on this.
Feng Ying didn't know how to answer.
The international trend is one aspect.
The domestic situation is also not optimistic.
After the tide of public opinion shifted.
Experienced the fire singing video incident again.
The current X girl group.
It's really been crushed in all directions.
See her silent.
Shao Xiaogang first twisted his brows.
I closed my eyes and thought for a moment.
Then open your eyes.
subconsciously glanced at the box office statistics table on the ground that he had just thrown away.
Recall the gap in the numbers.
His anger was quickly replaced by helplessness.
"How much is the penalty set?" Shao Xiaogang, who calmed down a little, continued to ask.
"It's not much, it's just tens of thousands of yuan, some of them are old partners, and the two sides are more just going through a form." Feng Ying replied immediately.
"They don't have to pay tens of thousands of dollars, MSI Entertainment won't even lose this money, let's invalidate it, it's all invalid."
Shao Xiaogang had a headache and said: "Let's look at contacting them for some other work, it doesn't matter if you have more money or less money, you have to maintain your popularity from time to time." β
Seeing that so much money was spent.
You can't just let it go just because you lost to the X girl group.
This girl group.
Nothing can be said to be destroyed in his hands like this.
"I understand, Mr. Shao."
After Feng Ying finished speaking, she went down.
However, it didn't take a few minutes.
Yu Di, who is in charge of the artist department, is here again.
"What's the matter with you?"
Shao Xiaogang is really a little anxious now.
Inexplicably, it is extremely irritable.
Bad things one after another.
Isn't there some good news?
"Mr. Shao, this year, there are many singers in the company who have dragged on and on the renewal of the contract, something is wrong, I asked the people under my hand to check, and the results are not optimistic, and many companies in the outside world are now poaching people from our company." Yu Di hurriedly said.
"Digging people? What's the situation? Is it the ghost of the Cote d'Azur company? Shao Xiaogang was suddenly shocked.
"It's not."
Yu Di shook his head and said, "There is no sign of the involvement of the Cote d'Azur company, but it is the Meichuang Joya." β
"Lu Mingzhong? What a stab in the back. β
Hear the words.
Shao Xiaogang's whole face became gloomy.
"Do you know what conditions they offer?" He gritted his teeth.
"It's not clear, but Mr. Shao, I personally feel that most singers don't want to leave because of treatment" Yu Di looked at Shao Xiaogang's face and said.
"Not because of the treatment? That's why, be clear. Shao Xiaogang wondered.
"Mr. Shao, this is just my own feeling, just listen to it, I always feel that everyone doesn't seem to want to fight with the Cote d'Azur."
Yu Di stubbornly said: "Especially experienced. In the matter of the A girl group, everyone seems to be more and more dissatisfied with the company's arrangement in private."
Hear this.
Shao Xiaogang's face changed suddenly.
Wanted to say something.
But the words reached the throat.
I swallowed it again.
If Galaxy Entertainment crushes the Cote d'Azur company all the way, it will be devastated.
They won't say a word, I'm afraid.
It's just that there are too many times to lose.
One by one, they all lost faith.
Begin to take care of your feathers.
It's so selfish.
It's really a bunch of white-eyed wolves that can't be fed.
