My idol is myself

Chapter 170 Generous Xu Wenruo 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

As the stars settled down later, Xu Wenruo and Director Ma were no longer confronting each other, but Xu Wenruo was still sitting in the auditorium, and the scene was all arranged by Mr. Wang. Xu Wenruo didn't like to show off the limelight.

Looking at the moire logo flashing on the big screen, a complicated look flashed in Xu Wenruo's eyes. As time goes by, Fengqi Studio, which had only Xu Wenruo as an artist, has now become a force that cannot be ignored in the film and television industry. Strength.

Back when Xu Wenruo's first film earned more than 20 billion at the box office, many film and television companies hoped to find Xu Wenruo to cooperate with, including some well-known companies, and even the top distribution companies in the industry also sent invitation letters, hoping to replace Star The location of Xun Films,

Regardless of how prosperous Starcom is now, in fact all the honors they have won are castles in the air. If they break up with Xu Wenruo, everything they have won before will disappear again.

Of course, the executives of Xingxun Pictures also understand that when they released "A Chinese Journey to the West", they not only worked hard, but also came to seek Xu Wenruo's opinions from time to time, which can be regarded as showing enough respect to Xu Wenruo.

However, compared to Starcom Films, which has a solid background, people in the industry are more optimistic about Fengqi Studio, which has no foundation at all. As long as Xu Wenruo's miracle is not shattered, then Fengqi Studio is a force that cannot be ignored in the film and television industry.

As the opening icon flashed, it quickly entered the plot of "A Chinese Journey to the West", but the plot at the beginning made many viewers frown.

The scene between Guanyin and Wukong at the beginning is enough to shatter the three views of all viewers who have watched Journey to the West. Not only has the image of Tang Monk been subverted, but even the invincible Sun Wukong in people's minds seems to be more deviant. Of course, the only one who has not What changed was the rebellious character of the monkey.

After reading the beginning of the plot, the third master frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. When the camera turned and the view came to the desert, the clip of Chun Sanniang holding flowers and entering the desert alone made him put aside his frown. The raised brows straightened.

The third master is still very patient. Even though he doesn't appreciate Xu Wenrong's behavior of changing Westward Journey very much, the box office is the key to determine whether a movie is good or not. After all, the reason why movies are released is to make money. A good harvest movie must be a good movie.

Xu Wenruo's last movie was not only good at the box office, but also had a good reputation. It has been more than half a year since it was released, and it has been launched on the video platform. More people have watched this movie. Although the rating has dropped compared to before, it is still the same. As high as 8.0 points, this may be an achievement that many directors will not be able to achieve in their lifetime.

At present, it is uncertain how many points this "A Chinese Journey to the West" can achieve, but many people understand the fact that the box office of this movie will definitely explode.

That's why the Third Master chose to support Xu Wenruo, a young junior, just to see if Xu Wenruo really has the real material. Judging from the current direction of the movie, this movie is only qualified and does not show any Outstanding place.

With the development of the plot, the collision between the robbers of Wuyue Mountain and the two female fairies makes people laugh and laugh. If you only talk about comedies, this movie is indeed very good, and the jokes are almost shaken out one after another. The stars of Chongwen Cinema also laughed from ear to ear.

Even though some funny clips are relatively vulgar, the effect is immediate. From the continuous laughter of the audience, it can be seen that this kind of small thinking can still play a role. It is vulgar but not kitsch. The purpose of comedy is to make people laugh Just an audience.

It can be said that "Westward Journey: Moonlight Box" easily accomplished this task. The one-and-a-half-hour plot and constant laughter from the audience are the best answer for this movie.

But after the smile, the eyes of the third master were more or less disappointed, because he didn't see any bright spots in this movie. At best, it was just a popcorn comedy. A place that can be praised.

But in addition to being disappointed, the third master also had some doubts in his heart, because in the plot of the Moonlight Treasure Box, we can see that there are many foreshadowings in it, such as the water curtain cave that the Supreme Treasure has always dreamed about. For example, in addition to the beginning, In addition, Tang Seng did not appear at all in the previous movie.

Of course, there is Zixia Fairy who appeared at the end of the film. Judging from the configuration of the film, both Zixia Fairy and Tang Seng are the main actors, but in the part of the Moonlight Treasure Box, they did not appear at all. This is absolutely unreasonable.

What's more, in the entire Westward Journey, even Monkey King has not appeared for a few minutes, so it is impossible to make a judgment. Therefore, the third master knows that these plots must be in the second half of the movie, but he is now dissatisfied with Xu Wenruo's decision to divide the movie into two parts. I have some opinions on some of the practices.

The plot has just unfolded, and the movie ended so abruptly, with the pants off, just show me this?
The third master looked at Xu Wenruo with a slightly dissatisfied look, but before he could speak, Director Ma's mouth was merciless.

"No, Director Xu, are you just going to show this to the audience? The plot has just started and you chose to end it. I'm afraid you will be scolded."

Director Ma spoke out what the Third Master was thinking at this time. Anyone who was watching the movie and being paused in the middle would not feel good. Not only them, but also the stars of Chongwen Cinema and even the audiences watching the movie simultaneously from all over the world were secretly thinking in their hearts. Scold Xu Wenruo for being an inappropriate person.

"As long as the plot of the film satisfies the audience, even if they scold them now, they will be forgiven in the future."

Xu Wenruo's words were full of self-confidence. He glanced at Director Ma, who was a little at odds with him, and then turned his gaze to Third Master, who was still not satisfied.

"I actually have the next part in my hand. Would you like to have a look at the third master?"

"No, I'll just wait like the audience. When the next part is released, I'll give you a movie ticket. Let's leave our contact information. Maybe I may contact you if I have anything to do next."

Hearing Xu Wenruo's words, the third master waved his hand, then turned around and left with Director Ma. He didn't show too much courtesy to Xu Wenruo, as if he was still in a depressed mood.

Followed by the horse guide behind the third master, there was something wrong with Xu Wenruo's eyes when he left. Although the two sides disliked each other before, they didn't take it to heart. One sentence made Director Ma very tasty.

What does it mean to come to you if I have something to do next?

Xu Wenruo, this kid, He De, how can he cooperate with the third master. The person who can cooperate with the third master must be a well-known director like him in the industry. What qualifications does Xu Wenruo have to be able to climb the high branch of the third master.

But since the third master said so, of course Director Ma would not refute him, but in the next period of time, Director Ma made up his mind to find out what happened to the third master, and by the way, put some eye drops on Xu Wenruo, after all, only Only he can help the third master solve his problems.

As a well-known director in the industry, Ma Mou knows very well that there is nothing trivial in the hands of Mr. San, and they are all powerful people. As long as they can be completed successfully, the future road will be smooth sailing. At first, Xu Wenruo just didn't like it. Now Xu Wenruo has become a serious problem for him.

Xu Wenruo didn't know about Ma Dao's inner activities, and Xu Wenruo didn't even have any thoughts about the third master. The status gap between them was too great. As long as he opens his mouth, Xu Wenruo will find it difficult to refuse no matter what.

Welcoming and sending off, even with Mr. Wang present, Xu Wenruo still couldn't avoid being courteous to many celebrities. After seeing off the guests, there were dozens of contacts on the phone, many of whom were not very familiar with Xu Wenruo.

Seeing Xu Wenruo's slightly tired expression, Mr. Wang couldn't help laughing and said, "Director Xu, from now on you will be a big boss in the film and television industry. Have you seen that these celebrities have started to curry favor with you."

Xu Wenruo glanced at Mr. Wang. The fat guy's words were half compliments and half teasing. He knew very well that Xu Wenruo didn't care about these things. Compared with the scene where everyone complimented him, Xu Wenruo hoped to live in peace .

Seeing Xu Wenruo's expression, Mr. Wang stopped teasing him, but turned around and asked another question. He hoped to gain confidence from Xu Wenruo.

"How much do you think the first-day box office will be today? I was full of confidence before, but today I am not sure. After all, the record-breaking slogan has already been chanted. It would be too embarrassing if it didn't reach this result."

"Don't worry, I have confidence in "A Chinese Journey to the West", but I still have to let the public relations department pay attention, maybe there will be negative news in two days, we have to take the initiative to clarify, otherwise there will be problems with the previous movie."

Even Xu Wenruo, who is full of confidence, has some worried eyes. Judging from today's premiere, although the movie is popular, the act of splitting the movie into two parts will definitely arouse the audience's resentment. In terms of rhythm, the word-of-mouth of the movie may have problems.

Xu Wenruo knows very well that netizens are very motivated and will charge mindlessly once they are set in motion. Therefore, Xu Wenruo must take precautions before they happen. Therefore, the public relations department must be prepared at all times. Once negative public opinions arise, they must clarify them as soon as possible to avoid The rhythm is set by people with ulterior motives.

Hearing Xu Wenruo's words, Mr. Wang obviously put a lot of emphasis on his face. The scene where the public relations department made a mistake last time is still vivid in his memory. If it wasn't for that major mistake, the last movie might have broken the record. Although Xu Wenruo chose to Forgive the mistake of Xingxun Pictures, but Mr. Wang understands that this kind of mistake must not be repeated.

"I understand. Immediately go to the organization's public relations department to be on standby. What kind of negative public opinion do you think will appear in two days? I will ask them to prepare a draft in advance."

"It should be a matter of dividing it into two movies for release. In addition, I am very confident in the quality of the movie and feel that the audience will not have any objections to the content of the movie. Then it is about appeasing the audience's emotions. After all, they have to wait for a month. Only then can I watch the next plot, and I will definitely have a lot of resentment in my heart."

Xu Wenruo thought about it carefully, and at most there will be problems in two aspects. In fact, Xu Wenruo does not want to release the two films one month apart. Such behavior will definitely be abused by the audience, but both Qi Yue and Mr. Wang have made it clear that , Released one month apart is the way to maximize revenue.

Even if the audience has resentment, as long as the quality of the movie is good and attracts the audience to watch it in the cinema, then they can make a lot of money. Xu Wenruo doesn't care about this profit, but Xingxun Pictures and Fengqi Studio do.

At the insistence of Qi Yue and Mr. Wang, Xu Wenruo had to agree to the plan to release in installments, but now problems are coming one after another. Since he wants to obtain higher profits, he has to bear the corresponding price. These Let Qi Yue and Mr. Wang do the work.

Since it is the method they insist on, then let them take on the corresponding tasks. Xu Wenruo will at most give them an idea, and they have to do the specific things. rest for few days.

"Clarify the issue of splitting into two films. Well, let's be sincere and tell the truth. We should be able to get the audience's understanding, but how to resolve the audience's resentment is a difficult problem. I don't have a clue. Do I need Director Xu's help? Have an idea?"

"This is something you guys have come up with, why do you have to ask me to come up with ideas?"

"Those who can do more work, Director Xu has a quick mind, of course he has more methods than us stupid people."

Mr. Wang laughed and joked with Xu Wenruo, seeing his complimenting expression, Xu Wenruo couldn't help but shook his head, there was no way, this matter couldn't be avoided.

"There's not much we can do. We can only give some benefits to these audiences. How about we plan an event to give some benefits to audiences who go to the cinema to support the two movies."

"What kind of event?"

"For example, on our side, Fengqi Studio pays to order some Q-version dolls of the characters in the play, which are given to the audience. They can be claimed with two movie tickets."

"As for your side, you can cooperate with Xingxun Video, and with the number of two movie tickets, you can receive video membership within one month as a benefit to the audience."

Xu Wenruo thought about it carefully and realized that if he wanted to resolve the resentment of the audience, he could only pay real benefits. The audience was not stupid. Everyone knew which company only wanted to make money and which company was more practical. Yes, whoever treats them well will be as clear as a mirror.

"It's not a small expense."

Hearing Xu Wenruo's method, Mr. Wang's eyes were full of surprise. Xu Wenruo's activity was really a big deal, not to mention the membership of Xingxun Video. This cost nothing. He only needed to negotiate with Lao Liu to make up for the loss of the video company. The loss is fine, but the doll must be made with real money. Xu Wenruo is really generous.
