Chapter 411: You don't have to compare yourself to him
At the beginning of August, when the box office of [Tang Detective 2] was soaring, other movies were also released one after another.
The big IP [Tomb Robbery Notes] starring Lu Han, Jing Bairan, and Ma Sichun premiered nationwide on Friday, August 5th.
The movie released on the same day also includes Lu Han's former teammate, one of the "Four Returned Sons" Li Jiaheng's youth romance film "Xia Youqiao Mu Yawang Heaven", and Shu Qi, Feng Shaofeng, and Song Qian's romantic comedy "My Best Friend's Wedding".
These three movies, except for [My Best Friend's Wedding], which are slightly less popular, [Tomb Robbery Notes] and [Xia Youqiao Mu Yawang Paradise] were very promoted before their release, and they did attract the attention of many audiences in the end.
[Tomb Robbery Notes] comes with its own traffic, the original author Nanpai Sanshu personally served as the screenwriter, and Lu Han and Jing Boran joined two popular traffic students, which can be said to be the most eye-catching of the new movies released in August.
In the film industry, many times the film and television of big IP is a problem, it is definitely not possible to change it as it is, there is a certain difference from the movie, the text will definitely change when it becomes the picture, and if there is no change to the original work, the audience will feel that there is no novelty.
Of course, excessive magic changes are even more undesirable, some directors and screenwriters not only want to use the big IP to attract traffic, but also want to have their own ideas, and don't want to let the story be trapped in the original work, so they change it randomly.
In the end, it was inevitable that he would be scolded by the audience.
The [Nine-Story Demon Tower] photographed by Lu Chuan before is the best example, and it is called the most typical by netizens, who wants to be a bitch and set up an archway!
not only wants the traffic of [Ghost Blowing the Lamp], but also wants to shoot his own things, and wants people to feel that the movie is a big hit is the credit of his director Lu.
Final defeat was inevitable.
[Tomb Robbery Notes] learned the lesson of [Nine-Story Demon Tower], and simply hired the third uncle, the author of the original work, Nanpai, as the screenwriter, so that no matter how it is changed, it is the original author's idea, and the audience has no reason to spray.
Before the movie was released, the producer released the character poster, the "Wu Xie" poster played by Lu Han ranked first, and the "Zhang Qiling" poster played by Jing Boran ranked last.
Lu Han's name in the press release has always been ranked in front of Jing Bairan, which caused dissatisfaction with Jing Bairan's agent Zhang Ashin, who accused Lu Han's team and the film producer on his personal Weibo of turning on the hand-tearing mode, and then deleted it in seconds, but the fans of the two artists refused to give up, and the war continued to burn.
This kind of tearing war is not uncommon in the current film and television industry, after all, the so-called "fan position" is really important to star artists.
Take the filming of a movie as an example, who is a fan represents the main box office, if the movie is released and the box office is a big hit, there is no doubt that both the audience and the capital will think that it is the credit of a star.
This involves the choice of brands, TV stations, film and television resources, etc., which will directly affect the value and remuneration of artists.
So if you can fight for it, no one will back down.
The tugging and fighting of the two celebrity fans has made [Tomb Robbery Notes] even more popular, and no matter what the final result is, the producer of the movie will be the winner.
In the first three days of its release, under the pressure of the overlord of [Tang Detective 2], it still won a box office of 478 million.
Although the reputation of the movie is average, with the help of Lu Han's popularity and the fame of the original book, [Tomb Robbery Notes] has become a summer hit second only to [Tang Detective 2].
The producer [LeTV Media] even shouted the big words of "sword pointing at 2 billion" at one point!
[Xia Youqiao Yawang Paradise], which is also not very popular, is not so lucky, and only got a box office of 89.5 million in the first three days, which is very different from [Tomb Robbery Notes].
Originally, because these two movies were released on the same day, and the protagonists were former teammates and current top performers in domestic entertainment, the topic was very discussed, and capital, netizens, and fans were waiting to see whether they won or lost.
After the first week of release, it was clear that Lu Han had won a big victory.
"Bang!"
A half-drunk bottle of mineral water was slammed to the ground, the plastic bottle was unharmed, the cap was broken, and the water inside splashed all over the floor.
Li Jiaheng stood up angrily and walked back and forth in the room, his originally handsome face looked a little hideous because of anger.
"These media are really fucking nonsense, why am I not as good as Lu Han?
Damn, I didn't like him when I was in Korea, and now I'm back to China and I'm always against me."
Li Jiaheng feels that he has been having a bad year recently.
Two months ago, someone on the Internet broke the news that he made a date with fans, saying that Li Jiaheng would choose many beauties to participate in the "after party" after the concert, and his agent would also screen beauties for him in the name of selecting the MV heroine.
Although the whistleblower has no substantial evidence, it still greatly damaged his image.
Because of his foreign status, he was ridiculed by netizens as the "Maple Leaf National Artillery King"!
Now his movie is facing competition with his old teammate Lu Han again, and the most unfortunate thing is that he still loses very badly!
What the media and netizens like to do most at this time is to fall into the well and belittle Li Jiaheng in various ways, especially always comparing Lu Han, which makes him angry.
Just as Li Jiaheng was scolding and pacing back and forth, the agent Huang Bin pushed the door and walked into the house.
He frowned as he looked at the bottle of mineral water that had flown far away, and the pool of water on the ground.
"I think you should learn to control your emotions, which will be good for your future career."
Seeing Huang Bin say this, Li Jiaheng didn't dare to refute.
Although he is arrogant, he also has the most basic IQ, and he knows that his agent is the one who can help his career and solve problems for himself.
After he came back from South Korea, he was famous, he had no connections in domestic entertainment, and all the follow-up resources were found by his agent for him.
Although he is now known as the top, he is not without competitors, at least three old teammates will be his opponents in the future.
Moreover, there is Gu Wei, the top of the fault, who stands firmly at the top of the pyramid in internal entertainment, firmly controlling some head resources, and there are many young traffic stars growing rapidly.
Like Jing Bairan, who cooperated with Lu Han in [Tomb Robbery Notes], and the two leading actors Yang Yang and Li Yifeng in the online drama version of [Tomb Robbery Notes] launched last year, are all rising stars among male traffic stars.
Li Jiaheng felt more and more that his top position was unstable.
"Brother Huang, you haven't seen how ugly the words of those self-media and netizens on the Internet are, and I am also angry for a while!"
Huang Bin bent down to pick up the mineral water bottle on the ground and threw it into the trash can on the side.
"There is no need to care about what netizens say, you can't just look at the surface of the problem.
It's true that your movie can't beat Lu Han this time, but did you really fail?
[Tomb Robbery Notes] has an investment of nearly 200 million yuan, and it is blessed by the top class, and it is normal for the box office to sell well now.
Your [Xia Youqiao Yawang Paradise] is just a low-cost love movie, and now although there is a big gap between the box office and others, is your movie a loss?
No, not only do you not lose, but you also earn. ”
As he spoke, Huang Bin took a few steps closer and reached out to pat Li Jiaheng's shoulder.
"There's no need to compare yourself with others, as long as you can make money in the movie, it's considered a success.
Everything else is secondary."
Li Jiaheng, who had already sat back on the sofa at this time, looked a lot more relaxed, and the agent's persuasion was still very useful to him.
"I also understand that it's really unwilling to lose to Luhan"
Huang Bin smiled.
"It's not your problem, it's the subject matter and the cost of production.
Don't forget that you still have Zhou Xingchi's [Journey to the West Demon Chapter], not to mention anything else, it's still very easy for the box office to overpower Lu Han's current [Tomb Robbery Notes]."
mentioned this movie, Li Jiaheng's mood got better again.
A [Journey to the West], a [Mermaid], Zhou Xingchi's movies during this time period are guaranteed to be a big hit.
He can become the male number one of the [Journey to the West Demon Chapter], and now that I think about it, I have to thank Gu Wei for his unrelenting kindness, which allows him to eat this incomparably delicious pie.
The movie has already been filmed, and he has been looking forward to the release, waiting for his fame to soar again after the release.
Thinking of this, Li Jiaheng's brows furrowed slightly.
"Brother Huang, do you think that after the release of [Journey to the West], it can surpass the [Detective Chinatown 2] that is now being screened by Gu Wei?"
"Well, you still don't want to be too ambitious.
Now the industry generally believes that there is no problem for [Tang Detective 2] to surpass [Mermaid] in the final result, and it will become the new domestic box office champion.
As for whether [Journey to the West Demon Chapter] can break the record again, no one can say.
But even if you win [Tang Detective 2] in the end, it will be Zhou Xingchi who wins Gu Wei, and it has little to do with you.
It's completely meaningless to compare with Gu Wei now, you still pay attention to a few teammates, especially Lu Han, who is the closest competitor to you in the entertainment industry. ”
Huang Bin's words are a bit blunt.
More than a year ago, he also encouraged Li Jiaheng, saying that the future may not exceed Gu Wei's hopes, and now he simply told him not to compare again.
It's not that he is attacking his own artists, but the gap between Gu Wei and Li Jiaheng is a little too big, whether it is in his works, identity, fame, or popularity, Gu Wei has to crush him in all aspects, and there is no way to chase him.
The movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" produced by Renjia Company has a box office of more than 2 billion, and the self-directed and self-starred [Tang Detective 2] is about to exceed 3 billion.
How to chase this, and how to compare?
Li Jiaheng listened to Huang Bin's words, frowned, and sighed.
"I understand what you mean, I'll work hard~
However, at the end of next month, the live-action CG fantasy film I starred in will be released on the National Day, and I heard that a police film cooperated by Gu Wei and Bona Film and Television was also selected in the National Day file, and competition and comparison are indispensable whether you want it or not."
Huang Bin touched his chin.
"Guo Xiaosi's movie, he has book fans as a guarantee, you and the heroine Fan Bingbing also have some fans, or that sentence, it's good if the movie doesn't lose money, and the rest will depend on the situation when the time comes."
