My idol is myself

Chapter 150 An Indiscriminate Disaster 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

The celebration banquet on the second day was held very grandly by Xingxun Films. Before they announced their entry into the film and television industry, they did not make any big moves. They did not expect that after two years of silence, they would suddenly release such a large satellite. Therefore, Xingxun Films Of course choose to celebrate.

Xu Wenruo, Qi Yue, Meng Da and other leading actors were present together. At the banquet, Xu Wenruo saw Wu Xuan who hadn't seen him for a long time. Mr. Wang stood beside Wu Xuan with a happy face, with a strange expression on his face, as if he was flattering him.

This made Xu Wenruo feel a little inexplicably. It seems that Wu Xuan's relationship is harder than he imagined. When Xu Wenruo walked to the two of them, Wu Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Wenruo, so he walked quickly to him. side.

"Lao Xu, Happy New Year."

As a good friend, Xu Wenruo can see what Wu Xuan is thinking at a glance. Wu Xuan and Xu Wenruo are actually the same kind of people, and they are very tired of this kind of business bragging scene. Although Wu Xuan is more outgoing than Xu Wenruo, his outgoing It is manifested in the interaction with peers. A greasy middle-aged man like Mr. Wang, the sunny boy Wu Xuan can't stand it at all.

"Happy New Year, long time no see, where is Wu Shao happy recently?"

"When did I go to have a good time? Don't accuse people of their innocence out of thin air. I was busy promoting the movie before the year, and I came to attend the celebration party right after the year. I didn't have any free time at all."

Wu Xuan, who came to Xu Wenruo's side, was obviously much more lively, and started to hate Xu Wenruo as soon as he opened his mouth. He was completely different from the appearance standing beside Mr. Wang.

"Director Xu, Mr. Wu, I'm going to greet the guests at the door first. You guys can chat. See you later."

Mr. Wang has been in the workplace for many years, and he is very discerning. Seeing Wu Xuan's expression, he knew that he should leave, so he nodded at Xu Wenruo, and then walked out the door very naturally.

Qi Yue thought about it carefully, and she also followed Mr. Wang to the door. The guests at today's celebration banquet were not celebrities, but some bigwigs in the industry. To save face, he will attend this celebration banquet.

Therefore, for Fengqi Studio, this is an opportunity to broaden their network of contacts. If Xu Wen doesn't like this kind of interpersonal communication, then Qi Yue, who is responsible for daily work, has to carry this banner. In fact, this is Qi Yue's job .

She is not only Xu Wenruo's manager, but also the boss of Fengqi's studio, she can't avoid making friends like this.

Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan Mengda sat together on the crew's seat. Before everyone arrived, they started chatting.

"Wu Shao, how does it feel to make a movie?"

"Don't mention it, it's very uncomfortable. Being a celebrity is really uncomfortable."

Hearing Xu Wenruo asked about this topic, Wu Xuan began to feel bitterness outside, but what he said sounded very Versailles, but judging by Wu Xuan's expression, he probably didn't mean it.

"When I went home to celebrate the New Year, I went to the cinema to watch a movie, but I was recognized by someone, and then I was stuck in the cinema for five hours. It was really uncomfortable."

"You are treated like this, and no one else wants it."

"That's right, Mr. Wu, you are so blessed that you don't know how lucky you are. No one recognizes me when I walk on the street. I still envy you."

After Meng Da heard what happened to Wu Xuan, there was indeed a hint of envy in his eyes, but he also knew very well in his heart that as a greasy middle-aged man, he was in no way comparable to young people like Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan. The popularity directly turned Wu Xuan into a star sought after by thousands of people, but for him, at most, he was familiar with the audience.

Meng Da was well aware of this. Although he was envious, his inner emotions were very peaceful. After all these years, he already had a strong ability to resist these things.

"Don't be envious, I think it's better for me to be an ordinary person, celebrities are too unfree."

Wu Xuan shook his head. He really doesn't care about these things. The popularity and fame that are very precious to others are worthless to Wu Xuan. Therefore, under the circumstances of his popularity, he actually has the idea of ​​quitting the entertainment industry.

"After that, I have good stories to film, and you don't plan to participate?"

"Let's talk about the future, anyway, I must avoid the limelight recently."

It was said that everyone looked at Wu Xuan full of pity, but Xu Wenruo understood his thoughts very well. After all, everyone has different views, and Wu Xuan does not lack these things at all.

Participating in the training camp and filming with Xu Wenruo before was just for fun, now that it has affected Wu Xuan's own life, of course he has to choose to rest for a while, not everyone wants to be famous and admired by thousands of people.

"Understood, I will make interesting films in the future, and I will contact you again."

Xu Wenruo patted Wu Xuan on the shoulder, expressing respect for his choice, Wu Xuan also nodded at Xu Wenruo, at this moment, Xu Wenruo heard the chatter of the crew, and couldn't help frowning.

"Hey, have you watched the news recently? There seems to be a commotion on the Internet again. At present, several blockbuster movies have received negative reviews, and many people have complained."

"I see, we were also involved, and I don't know which company hired the sailors. It's really shameless."

If it hadn't been for the chatting of these two staff members, Xu Wenruo really didn't know that there was already a lot of noise on the Internet because of several movies, so Xu Wenruo silently took out his mobile phone and began to understand the situation, but the more he understood, Xu Wenruo's brows became more and more serious. The more tightly wrinkled together.

The public opinion war that just fermented yesterday has already begun to change today. At the beginning, it was just fans and some black fans of the navy. But as the battle became more and more fierce, many people started No more martial arts.

Even though the real-name system has been implemented on the Internet, it is not against the law to gossip with others after all. In reality, it’s fine to be obedient, but you have to fight hard online!

Originally there was not much relationship between the four movies, but after a chaotic battle, netizens began to compare with each other, and it seemed that they must decide who is the strongest king of this year's Lunar New Year movies.

Currently "Tricky Expert" is in a favorable position, because it is currently the No. [-] box office in the entire Lunar New Year file, and the other three movies have just been released, so they can't threaten the status of "Tricky Expert" at all.

Just yesterday, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Feng Shen Ji", which reached 6000 million on the first day, was cut in half, leaving only [-] million.

Even though Hua Yi's response strategy was very timely, after all, public opinion has fermented, and many viewers who plan to watch "Feng Shen Ji" also know that the word-of-mouth of this film has fluctuated, so they plan to wait and see again, which caused After earning [-] million at the box office on the first day, the box office of "Feng Shen Ji" plummeted the next day.

Even if Huayi chooses to drag other people into the water, after all, the desire of the audience to spend money to watch movies still exists. There are not many movies to choose from. They have to choose one of the four movies. There is one to watch.

Ever since, on the second day of junior high school, the box office of "Machina God of War 3" rose against the wind, and it actually reached 8000 million, ranking first at the box office of the day.

When word-of-mouth generally fluctuates, audiences decisively choose foreign blockbusters. After all, audiences only want to see a scene when they watch a movie. It's important, it's over if you enjoy it.

Perhaps Huayi's public relations department didn't expect that all of their hard work would actually make a wedding dress for this foreign blockbuster. They did get other people into the water, but it's obvious that some movies can swim. It is possible that God will be the first to be drowned.

Yesterday's box office ranked second at the box office of Van Loon's "Dragon Detective". Their box office is second only to "Mecha God of War 3", reaching 3000 million, which is also higher than the box office of the first day.

The reason why audiences choose to watch this movie is similar to that of "Machina God of War 3". Anyway, they can't tell the difference between a good movie and a bad movie, so it's better to choose based on their feelings. Normally, Fang Loon has been well-known for so many years. No matter how bad it is, it's not that bad, at least the action scenes are worth the ticket price.

Therefore, only "Fengshenji" and "Tricky Expert" have been hurt by public opinion. Although Huayi is a big company and a giant, in the hearts of movie fans and audiences, their reputation is indeed not very good, so they chose blindly. Wouldn't choose their movies at all.

And Xu Wenruo is just a newcomer in the industry, and the probability of making a bad movie is very high. For this reason, many audiences who originally wanted to go to the movie theater also began to hesitate, and this situation was immediately reflected in the movie box office.

Compared with the previous day, the number of films scheduled for "The Tricky Expert" has increased, but the box office has actually dropped instead of increasing, with only 7000 million left at the box office. This is definitely not a normal situation.

If it weren't for the influence of the public opinion war, yesterday's box office should have reached more than 3000 million, and the box office was [-] million less for no reason. How could Xu Wenruo not be angry? It's really a person sitting at home, and the disaster came from heaven.

Although after the public opinion war, the box office of the two films went up against the wind, and the box office of the two films showed a downward trend, but Xu Wenruo understands that things are not that simple, and the black hand behind the public opinion war may not be the distributor of the first two films. , but Huayi.

Why do you say that, because Xu Wenruo was keenly aware of one thing. At the beginning, public opinion appeared in the topic of complaining about "Feng Shen Ji", and the other three movies did not have any negative news, but at noon yesterday, The public opinion of the other three films exploded in an instant.

These clues illustrate one thing. This public opinion war is absolutely inseparable from Huayi. After discovering these, Xu Wenruo immediately found Mr. Wang and Qi Yue at the door, told them the current situation, and ordered the person in charge of publicity The public relations department acted immediately, looking for evidence from the Internet to maintain the positive image of the film.

Hearing what Xu Wenruo said, Mr. Wang's happy smile also became a little stiff. He has been busy with the celebration banquet for the past two days, and he didn't care about the public opinion on the Internet at all, and no one in the company reported to him. The total has always been ignorant of the situation.

This is definitely a serious mistake, and this is not the first mistake made by Xingxun Films. Before the release, when discussing with the theaters about the film schedule, Xingxun Pictures made a mistake, which resulted in fewer films being scheduled in the early stage. a lot of.

Now that there is such a public opinion on the Internet, as a company executive, he doesn't even know about it. As a professional film and television company, these operations seem a bit amateurish.

In fact, Mr. Wang also knows why this is the case. Since this is the first time for them to log in to the Lunar New Year file, the entire company only has one day of annual leave, and the company has already begun to complain. Even if there is a year-end bonus and overtime pay, it is still not worth it. Complaints from employees.

After all, Xingxun Films is not like Fengqi Studio, here is Xu Wenruo's talk, you can give employees a big red envelope if you disagree, as a big company, there are regulations on the amount of bonuses, so the work of Xingxun Films The mood of the staff at work is not very high.
Many people are working passively. If the superior does not arrange tasks, many people will choose to take advantage of it and don't care about work at all. In addition, the company has been busy with the celebration banquet these two days, and no one is watching. Follow the public opinion of the outside world.

When this situation was mentioned by Xu Wenruo, Mr. Wang's face was no longer as bright as before. He immediately contacted the public relations department and asked them to start working immediately.

At the same time, Mr. Wang also had some thoughts in his mind. Although the Lunar New Year file was very successful this time, it also exposed many problems. Although they are the biggest winners of the Lunar New Year file, all of this is due to Xu Wenruo. The quality of Xu Wenruo's movies is so good, Xingxun Pictures doesn't have the current scene at all.

Even to a certain extent, Xingxun Films has held back Xu Wenruo. If several big distribution companies in the industry are responsible for the promotion and distribution of this movie, it may be possible for "Tricky Expert" to be released in the first week. Breaking 20 billion, the final box office may break 30 billion.

It can be said that Xingxun Films did delay this movie and Xu Wenruo. Fortunately, Xu Wenruo has maintained a good relationship with Xingxun Group, which will not affect their future cooperation. If there is no normal partner, it is estimated that After being cheated like this once, I will definitely not choose to cooperate with Xingxun Films next time.

But Mr. Wang is also very clear in his heart that he can't always rely on face to maintain cooperation. If Xu Wenruo is really let go, then he is a sinner of Xingxun Films. With a large-scale rectification, we will definitely not make such a very low-level mistake next time.
