Chapter 62: Hell Ahead
Whale Entertainment's internal "Fish Festival", which invited many celebrities to participate, was a combination of the pledge meeting and the company's publicity conference at the beginning of the year.
At the ceremony, the company's CEO Mr. Su reviewed the company's achievements last year and summarized the revenue of 410 million. At the same time, looking forward to the new year, five films to be produced were announced, including the information that "Seven Me" starring Huang Baiyou.
After the news spread, it aroused a small range of attention and heated discussions.
Most people pay attention to the revenue capacity, and netizens learned that one of the industry leaders, Guangguang, had a revenue of more than 600 million last year, not to mention Tangde Film and Television and Hengdian Film and Television, last year's revenue was less than 300 million, which is not comparable at all.
However, Tangde Film and Television is a bigwig enterprise in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, producing many wonderful period dramas that are familiar to the audience, and Hengdian Film and Television is backed by the third largest theater in China.
Hengdian Cinema Line is much more powerful than Jinyi Cinema Line, and a simple comparison shows that Hengdian Film and Television is stronger than Jinyi Film and Television, and even so, the revenue is not as good as Whale Entertainment.
So the question is, why is it!
"With an annual revenue of 410 million, I finally know why Whale Entertainment is happy to shoot bad movies, and why is it not happy to make money?" "What does Whale Entertainment rely on to make money?" Is it better to make a bad movie than to make a good movie? ", "Who is sending them money, is it ......", "Bad money drives out good money, bad movies make money better than good movies, so who makes good movies?" ”……
There are also more serious netizens to investigate, and then leave a message: "I went to look at Whale's annual report last year, unlike other entertainment companies, it is not relying on copyright income, but live streaming accounts for the majority of the ......"
When encountering unacceptable things, it must be discussed, and the vast number of melon-eating people with magical powers have ripped the profit method of whale entertainment upside down.
The current industry despises the chain: movie actors> TV drama actors = singers> variety show coffee > models> Internet celebrities, it is clearly seen that Internet celebrities are the low end of the contempt chain, but the ability of big Internet celebrities to bring goods and realize goods is difficult to match even the top stream, in this case, why not incubate Internet celebrities upward?
Whale Entertainment's original intention was to be an Internet celebrity to promote coffee positions, and a big Internet celebrity "suddenly" became the second female of an idol drama or something, regardless of how the drama is, it will definitely be good for Internet celebrities.
I believe it can also be seen that the drama of Whale Entertainment is rotten, and in addition to the script, there are also disasters for the actors......
So mixed with #Whale Entertainment's why can it earn 410 million #hot searches, there is also a small popularity, fans of Huang Baiyou, or passers-by who have expectations for the actors, seeing this news is a different mood.
"What can whale entertainment shoot?"
"White Emperor is cautious!"
"It's hell ahead, Whale Entertainment's films don't have a 4 rating, right?"
"Obviously, with the two roles of Lin Pingzhi and Lu Yi as the foundation, there can be better development, why do you want to take the script of Whale Entertainment? Is there such a lack of money? ”
Wait a minute.
Some fans speculated that it was arranged by the brokerage company, so they organized a group to go to Tianyu Media to protest, but Huang Baiyou's fan group "White Tea" was weak in combat, and the protest did not make any waves.
The unorganized and undisciplined fan group is not a threat at all, and it is exaggerated to borrow from some top performers in this regard......
Huang Baiyou didn't know about his fan group, conventionally speaking, the organization of the fan group needed a brokerage company, and he learned that he was cooperating with Whale Entertainment, not much earlier than netizens.
About last night, Huang Baiyou received the script of "Seven Me" in his mailbox, and he really didn't know who the producer was. The contract signed between the original body and the brokerage company can't even choose the script, let alone choose the brokerage company.
The producer is Whale Entertainment...... Huang Baiyou remembered the fear of being dominated by dirty things that night.
"In that case, let's eat first." Huang Baiyou went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, and took this time to read through the script, and he unexpectedly found that the book has high requirements for the acting skills of the protagonist, which is more difficult to play than Lu Yi's role.
Although the plot has dog blood and several logical flaws, the overall script is well completed, at least a few grades higher than "New Smile and Proud Jianghu".
"If I play it well, this drama may become my masterpiece, one person plays seven corners, and spans the ages and genders of middle-aged people, girls, and boys, and has a variety of personalities, once it is successful, it will explode in the world." Huang Baiyou was not happy because of this, and his face was thinking as usual.
On the one hand, it is impossible for Tianyu Media to give him good resources; On the other hand, Huang Baiyou doesn't believe that the screenwriters of Whale Entertainment can write a good book.
There is no intention of a screenwriter for Whale Entertainment, but looking at the script of Whale Entertainment, which one is normal?
"If I'm not mistaken, I was pushed a ...... on Weibo last time"
Huang Baiyou took out his mobile phone to search for [Whale Entertainment, plagiarism], and the news that appeared contained a lot of information, the most recent one: Whale Entertainment lost the lawsuit, and "Classmates When They Were Young" was judged to be plagiarism. Whale Entertainment needs to pay 1 million RMB......
Whale Entertainment is a habitual plagiarism offender and is often sued, so Huang Baiyou is psychologically prepared.
If you want to copy it, you must pinch the head and remove the tail, the name must be changed, and the core idea will not change.
[TV series of seven personalities], Huang Baiyou began to search, and the results were all promotional advertorials of "Seven Me", and it was obvious that Whale Entertainment gave money.
It wasn't until the second page that Huang Baiyou saw different content: "Kill Me and Heal Me", a Korean drama with a score of 8.5, one body lives with seven personalities.
"Korean dramas?"
Huang Baiyou found resources from the Internet, and now he is going to shoot, so he caches first, today's filming location is Qiannan Normal University for Nationalities, and the nanny car that the crew came to pick up and drop off is waiting.
The shooting in the morning did not go well, because Jiang Suining's children could not enter the play.
"It doesn't matter, at least you at least know why you NG, I filmed before, NG more than 30 times in a row, and I doubted my life when I remade it, and finally I asked the director with a crying voice, how do you need me to act, and then the director said to shoot as usual."
Deng Gangju, who played against him, played Han Chunchun's father Han Xian, except for bad luck, he had no shortcomings as an old actor, and took the initiative to enlighten Jiang Suining with his own experience at this moment.
"Thank you, Uncle Deng."
Jiang Suining kept taking deep breaths to relieve herself of pressure, she couldn't enter the play, partly because she didn't want to enter the play, and she was particularly resistant to the plot to be performed.
has the experience of Jiang's mother suddenly coming out and then making the child apologize unreasonably, director Zhou Xiaochun didn't dare to lose his temper again, just thinking about it, I feel that this woman is too ...... Abnormal.
Let Jiang Suining go to the side first to find a feeling, and shoot other scenes first, Zhou Xiaochun decided like this.
At lunchtime, the crew started a box lunch, and the leading actors could customize it on a small scale, for example, Li Monroe's staple food is basically mashed potatoes and pasta.
"Auntie." Huang Bai walked over and greeted Jiang's mother first.
"I see that Suining has a problem with filming just now, so I want to take the lunch break to talk." Huang Baiyou said.
"That's really troublesome Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang's acting skills are recognized by everyone, with Mr. Huang's teaching, my girl must be fine." Mother Jiang was very happy.
