Chapter 584: A Whale Falls, All Creatures Live
"Don't be frustrated, if you can't do it this time, there will be a next time, after all, you are a director for the first time, and it is very rare to do this level"
Today's fan meeting for the last roadshow ended, and the main creator of the [Sky Hunting] crew got in the car and went back to the hotel to rest.
Li Chen glanced at the real-time box office data, sighed, and looked out the window blankly.
Seeing this, his girlfriend clenched his hand and comforted him softly.
"It's easy to say, I'm afraid there won't be a next time.
According to the current box office trend, our movie will almost lose close to 100 million.
No one will ask me to direct a film anymore.
"Sky Hunter" is probably my first and final film." Li Chen turned his head, looked at his girlfriend's beautiful face, and said with a wry smile.
He knew that the other party was comforting him, and everyone understood the truth, but there were a few people who could really think about it.
"If you can't be a director, you can continue to be an actor, you look at Xu Zheng, Gu Wei, Wu Jing, even if they are so successful as a director, they still go back and continue to be an actor, it's not a big deal.
As a rookie director, it is already excellent to be able to make a movie like [Sky Hunting].
It's just that everyone's expectations for you are too high, and it is a big investment of more than 200 million yuan.
If you make a small-budget movie first, you may be a new generation of dark horse directors."
Fan Bingbing knows how to comfort people, she has been able to mix so well in the circle over the years, not only by her face, but also by her sophistication.
"Will it?"
"Of course."
Bingbing nodded, she knew that what her boyfriend needed most at this time was positive feedback from herself.
"Look at director Ning Hao's famous work [Crazy Stone], with an investment of 3 million, and the box office is less than 20 million.
The cost of Director Lu Yang's [Embroidered Spring Knife] is only 30 million, and the final box office is more than 200 million
They are professional directors, and they don't dare to try big investments when they first start, and you are mainly dragged down by the cost
I remember Wu Jing's first movie [Wolf Teeth], the box office was less than 5 million, and it was a miserable loss.
Later, the [Wolf Warrior] series was not filmed.
So don't be discouraged, whether you want to continue to be a director or concentrate on being an actor, I have your back."
Under the comfort of his girlfriend's warm voice, Li Chen's mood was slightly better.
He was also very moved by Fan Bingbing's support.
"Thank you, soldier, I'm not afraid of anything if I'm here.
The movie is still in theaters, and although the current box office trend is not ideal, I will do my best to promote it and minimize the loss.
I will carefully consider whether to act or film in the future.
Even if I plan to make a new movie, I won't make such a big investment like this time.
You're right, I'm a rookie director, and small-budget movies may not be big hits, but they have low risk and high returns, and they can also let the outside world see my true ability."
Seeing that her boyfriend had regained some confidence, Fan Bingbing smiled with relief.
To be honest, from her experience, it can be seen that her boyfriend really doesn't have that talent.
There is no comparison with Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Gu Wei, and Wu Jing.
But it doesn't matter, at least Li Chen is very stable and obedient in front of her under the strength of women and weak men.
And what she wants now is this stability and obedience.
If she wants to find someone who will help her career, she has a lot of candidates, so she will not confirm the relationship with Li Chen.
To put it mildly, Fan Bingbing has been working hard in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and he has fame and fortune, so he wants to find an honest person to take over.
Although Li Chen has many ex-girlfriends, he is still very honest after being with her.
It's a pity that if Fan Bingbing keeps her status as the wealthy Fan Ye unchanged, the two may really enter the palace of marriage.
But she didn't know that Li Chen, a so-called honest person, was not able to do so was only one aspect, and he didn't have too much responsibility.
A person's experience determines his attitude towards things and his final achievement.
Wu Jing, who has experienced ups and downs in martial arts since he was a child, has an indomitable will, the failure of [Wolf Tooth] can't break him, and he has to make movies by selling his house and borrowing money, so his success is inevitable to some extent.
Even if [Wolf Warrior] fails again, maybe he will still shoot [War Tiger] and [War Dragon].
And Li Chen has been relatively smooth all the way from entering the circle, not to mention cowardice in character, he is also the type of person who is a little rich and peaceful, has stable habits, and will retreat in case of trouble.
Therefore, Fan Bingbing is now in full swing, the two are in love with each other, and once something happens in the future, they will definitely fly separately when disaster comes.
After all, he is not Jiang Wen, even if he breaks up and becomes an ex-boyfriend, he can run up and down for his ex-girlfriend.
On the contrary, Wu Jing is more similar to Jiang Wen, both of them are machismo people, and they both have a wolf nature in their affection.
It can only be said that every time the righteous slaughter dogs, the negative heart is always a reader.
For the failure of [Sky Hunting], some people are sad, some people regret, and some people are happy.
Mr. Yu of Bona, like Bona, is the one who is happy.
At the beginning, he also intended to invest in [Sky Hunting], after all, Bona has always focused on positive and patriotic movies.
However, when preparing for the film at that time, because there were many funders who were optimistic about this film, Bona did not participate.
Li Chen also invested a lot of money as a director, and in addition to having confidence in himself at that time, he also wanted to have a gimmick that the film budget was not enough for the director to pay out of his own pocket after the movie was released.
At the beginning, Wu Jing wanted to sell his house to make a movie, and Gu Wei contributed to it, so it was rumored to be a good story by netizens.
Li Chen wants to learn this.
As a result, [Sky Hunting] hit the streets, and the gimmick turned into a joke.
Fortunately, there was no investment at that time, and Bona lost a lot of money.
Yu Dong can also see that the theme of the movie is very important, but the more important thing is the person who makes the movie.
[Outwitting Tiger Mountain] can succeed because the director is Xu Ke.
[Operation Mekong] can sell well because of Lin Chaoxian and Gu Wei.
[Wolf Warrior 2] Not to mention, Gu Wei and Wu Jing are full of quality, popularity, and box office appeal.
The theme and story of [Sky Hunting] are actually good, but Li Chen is too stretched, and no matter how good the story is, it can't be wonderful.
On October 8, the National Day ended, and the news shook the entertainment industry and rushed directly to the top of the hot search list.
Lu Han disclosed his relationship on Weibo without warning.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce to you, this is my girlfriend @Guan Xiaotong".
And Guan Xiaotong replied: "Oh, click! @鹿韩"
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately detonated public opinion.
Countless fans commented on Lu Han's Weibo, but most of them were not blessings.
[It's not. Why do I think they don't have a sense of CP at all, the feeling that they can't fight together, and the height difference is very embarrassing]
[Oops, my favorite person has a crush on my least favorite person, what should I do?] 】
[If I can get married, I will lose! ] 】
[The endorsed mobile phones are all different, how can they fall in love? ] 】
[Deceitful, how could Lu Han take a fancy to Guan Xiaotong, it doesn't match at all! ] 】
[I heard that the two of them are acting in "Sweet Crit" because of the play, they are sweet, and the heart crit is all given to the fans! ] 】
[I lost my fans, spent so much money to support, and bought N more endorsements, but I was told that I was officially announced to be in love so early, and the idol was too unqualified! ] 】
[Lu Han Chunye, when you fall in love, it will be officially announced, this sense of security is given, Guan Xiaotong is so happy! ] 】
[Bless the two of you, although this news makes me a little unexpected, I still hope that Lu Han and Lu Sister-in-law can be happy]
【. 】
In just half a day, Lu Han's Weibo had 1 million more comments, and even the platform was paralyzed for a while because of the rapid influx of traffic.
Fans were shocked and saddened by a mixture of emotions.
Many fans are heartbroken and lose their fans, and most people are not optimistic about this pair, thinking that the two will not be compatible for a long time.
The man lost his fans and was criticized for being disqualified, and the woman had an extra batch of black fans.
Lu Han's Weibo also lost hundreds of thousands of fans in half a day because of his official announcement of his relationship.
"Lu Han is too impulsive, but he is really responsible.
I've always thought he was a bit of a lady before, but this time he looks like a man! ”
At noon, the crew rested, and everyone got together to eat melons while eating.
Zhang Jianing took one end of the chopsticks in his mouth, looked at the mobile phone and sighed.
"Jianing, I think it's necessary to tell Xiaolu, you think he's a mother." Gu Wei looked at Zhang Jianing with a smile and threatened her to make a small report.
"My focus is on whether the second half of the sentence is good or not, Kua Lu Han is here, you are taking it out of context," Zhang Jianing argued.
After eating and watching a movie together that night, these young actors in the crew obviously got along better.
It turned out that everyone thought that Gu Wei and Zhao Liying were big-name stars and would not get along too well, but after contact, they found that they both had very good personalities.
Gu Wei has a gentle personality, no arrogance, and speaks humorously.
Zhao Liying is dedicated and serious about her work, but she has always been right about things and not people, and she is easier to talk to.
"I don't care, Yilong can testify to this, right?"
Zhu Yilong, who was concentrating on eating, was stunned for a moment, and found that Gu Wei and Zhang Jianing were both looking at him.
"Oh yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jianing glared at him and quickly changed his words.
"Still isn't right?"
"Owe me a meal, and I'll keep it a secret for you." As he spoke, Gu Wei patted Zhu Yilang's shoulder. "I'll take you with me then."
"Okay, don't tease Jia Ning," Zhao Liying said.
"Why don't you feel surprised at all by such a big thing?"
"I'm not surprised that the two of them are together, because I already knew, but it was still unexpected for Xiaolu to make it public so quickly," Gu Wei said as a matter of course.
After he finished speaking, all eyes were on him.
"You already knew?" Zhang Jianing was a little surprised.
"Yes, not only I know, but Deng Chao also knows.
I have a good relationship with Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong, isn't it normal to know this?"
Saying that, Gu Wei glanced at his mobile phone, and on Weibo, the members of the running men's team all sent messages to congratulate Lu Han, including Xiaotong's friends, such as Ma Sichun and Chen Duling.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Wei put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up his mobile phone, and replied under the official Weibo:
[Congratulations to Xiaolu and Xiaotong, I am happy for you, and I want to go all the way happily! ] Come on! 】
It's not that Gu Wei is acting, he said publicly to show that he is a supportive attitude towards the relationship between the two.
After the reply was sent, many netizens liked and commented on this reply instantly.
[Lu Han made his relationship public, Gu Wei, don't let anything happen to you, my little heart can't bear to blow again and again. 】
[Although I know that the two of you have a good relationship, can you not learn from him, let's be a qualified idol, it's not that you don't fall in love, you don't just make an official announcement, anyway, you have so many rumored girlfriends, as long as you don't make an official announcement, we should all be fake! ] 】
[It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's public, what age is this, it's not a novelty for celebrities to fall in love, anyway, I just like the film and television dramas you play. 】
[Anyway, Gu Wei, you have so many rumored girlfriends, it is estimated that you can't make it public, in case you are hammered a scumbag, you will be in trouble]
【. 】
Gu Wei's actions were seen by everyone, and other people could also see the Weibo replies he posted.
"If you had a definite girlfriend, would you be as open as Lu Han?" Zhao Liying looked at the fans' replies and asked curiously.
"Me?" Gu Wei thought about it.
"I don't think it's a big deal for me, and it doesn't hurt if I need to make it public."
"Aren't you afraid of losing fans like Lu Han?
After all, you are now recognized as the number one traffic in the circle, and you are the star with the largest number of fans in China," Zhao Liying finished speaking, and the others also looked at Gu Wei.
"It's no problem to say that, if I officially announce my relationship, I will definitely not be able to escape the fans.
I also have a lot of girlfriend fans among my fans, like Lu Han, there will definitely be a large number of fans who will lose their fans, and even become black fans because of love and hate.
However, unlike Xiaolu, what I currently rely on is not those fanatical fans, but the reputation and personal brand established by one film and television drama after another.
These things don't change because of whether or not I officially announce my relationship.
Let's put it this way, the fans are the icing on the cake for me at the moment, and it's good to have them, but it doesn't hurt to have them.
What's more, even if I announce my relationship, I will only be a part of my girlfriend's fans."
After speaking, Gu Wei took a sip of water.
"Actually, Liying, you're in a similar situation right now.
Speaking with works, the stage of relying on fans has long passed.
Not to mention the official announcement of the relationship, even if you marry someone else, fans who like you will only bless you"
Zhao Liying began to listen to what Gu Wei said was quite reasonable, but later when she said that she was married, she gave him a blank look.
"I don't even have a boyfriend, who am I married, and will the state send it?"
After speaking, Zhu Yilang and Zhang Jianing next to him laughed.
Lu Han's official announcement of his love affair has a lot of impact, and the harm is even greater for himself and even Guan Xiaotong's career.
Unlike Gu Wei, there are few works that Lu Han really has come out of the circle, and he has been relying on fans who like him to support the top cards over the years since he returned to China, and the four sons who returned to China are almost the same.
In terms of nationality, they are still much worse than those old actors who have been deeply involved in the film and television industry for many years.
In fact, even Gu Wei, if it weren't for the birth of one popular work after another in the past few years, he would have a distance from Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao, the top students in the entertainment industry.
After all, they have been in the industry for more than 20 years, and they have all had excellent works that have become popular all over the country, and they are completely familiar to audiences across the country by relying on time and achievements.
In this regard, young stars will of course suffer some losses due to their lack of time for precipitation.
For celebrities, red and national are sometimes two different concepts.
For example, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, you say that when the actors have children, they are popular, they are child stars, but no one will recognize how popular they are, at least there are not too many fans.
The four sons who returned to China are like this, after returning from South Korea, they are like half the sky with red heads, and there are many fans and crazy.
But if you ask him what these people do, he probably doesn't know them.
Didn't Wu Jing get on the show because he didn't recognize who a few people were, even men and women, and was subjected to cyberbullying.
Their fame only circulates within a certain range, and when it comes to national popularity, they may not be as well-known as Liu Xing and Xiaoxue at the beginning.
Now that Lu Han has officially announced his relationship, it is a bit of a matter of cutting off the support of his own career.
The flow of fans, endorsements and variety shows have also been cut a lot, and the film and television resources that were originally intended to find him have also retreated, and the position of the top line is crumbling.
Guan Xiaotong's side is also uncomfortable, mainly because many fans of Luhan have been converted into her black fans, she was originally the actress with the most rising momentum after 95, but now the momentum has been interrupted because of this matter.
However, Lu Han fell, and many people were secretly happy.
After all, once a whale falls, everything is born, and the fans and resources he lost will not disappear, but will only be transferred to other people's heads.
For example, his former teammate Li Jiaheng, who has been competing with him, Yang Yang, Li Yifeng, Deng Lun, and Li County, who have been on the rise in the past two years, and Li County, who has just emerged with some popularity, Ren Jialun, Hu Yitian, Bai Jingting, Liu Haoran and others.
Male stars who are close to him will be able to get some benefits to a greater or lesser extent.
Especially those male traffic who are similar to Lu Han's temperament and image or have a similar fame and coffee position, they are very happy to share the resources that have passed from him.
