My idol is myself

Chapter 182 Lunar New Year File 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

"Currently, several films competing with us for the Lunar New Year slot have been determined. This year's competition will be more intense than last year. Apart from us, there are a total of seven big-produced films released, and the entire schedule has become very crowded."

"It's so scary, does that mean that eight blockbuster films are competing for the Lunar New Year file?"

The expression on Xu Wenruo's face was rather surprised. He had heard that the competition for the Lunar New Year stalls might be a bit fierce, but he didn't expect that the actual situation would be more serious than imagined.

But this is also Xu Wenruo's fault. After his two films sold well at the box office, many companies realized that the past two years have been a period of rapid growth in the domestic box office, so they decided to take a piece of the action, even though some companies tried comedy before and did not Did not make a lot of money, but they still maintain confidence in the general environment of the film and television market.

As a result, many companies choose to make persistent efforts. If a popular movie is made, it will make a lot of money. Even if the quality of the film is not very good, as long as they can hire a few traffic stars, then there is no problem in getting back the money. Currently This is the general environment of the group. Seeing Xu Wenruo making a lot of money, they were very anxious, even more uncomfortable than their own debts.

"I just contacted the third master. The China Film Group is still very face-saving. He helped us get 40.00% of the film schedule. As long as the box office results are good a few days ago, then the follow-up film schedule can also be guaranteed."

"It's nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree. It seems that we don't have to worry about theater issues anymore. We only need to do a good job in publicity."

"However, there are a few movies that need to be paid attention to. They are estimated to be on schedule with us. We still choose to set a date for New Year's Eve this time, and the other three movies will be released around this time."

Qi Yue's expression was very dignified. Looking at her expression, Xu Wenruo could understand that the background of these movies might be deep and the visitors were not kind.

"The first movie to be announced for the New Year's Eve is "Civet Cat". The production company is Qingyun Media. This is a company specializing in the production of martial arts themes. It has been silent for two years. This time it came back out of the rivers and lakes and caused quite a stir. The martial arts films they once shot can be said to have been popular for an era."

"Huang Bo and Sheng Teng's comedy movie "Arrival of Aliens" was scheduled for New Year's Eve almost at the same time as ours. Not to be underestimated."

After introducing the first two movies, Qi Yue's eyes flickered when it was the third movie's turn. Xu Wenruo was a little strange at first, but after listening to Qi Yue's introduction, he immediately understood what was going on. Son.

"The other movie is produced and distributed by Huayi Media. The movie is called "The Inn at the End of the World". It is said that it has invested more than 2 million yuan. It specially invites kung fu superstar Zheng Xin to play the leading role. The director is Liu Zhentao, a well-known director in the industry. The film is humorous and well received by the audience."

"These opponents don't sound weak, but we are not bad at all. If you want to compete for quality, you have watched our movie. It is definitely a classic movie. If you fight for fame, our movie also has three best actors. , all the competitors in the Lunar New Year file have been blown out, so you don't have to worry too much."

Even after listening to Qi Yue's introduction, Xu Wenruo is still full of confidence. Although these movies sound good, they are not as good as the star-studded "Let the Bullets Fly". You must know that the actors in this movie are all three Master checks, every actor has a background.

"Well, I have confidence in you, they are definitely not as good as you."

Qi Yue looked at Xu Wenruo with a smile in his eyes, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. Xu Wenruo, who was stared at by Qi Yue, seemed a little uncomfortable, because he had never seen Qi Yue look at him like this before, Xu Wenruo was a little confused a feeling of.

Xu Wenruo stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Qi Yue, and she immediately slapped her. Qi Yue showed an expression of impatience, his cheeks turned pink, and he gave Xu Wenruo a white look.

"What are you doing?"

"There was something wrong with your eyes just now!"

"What's wrong! You must have read it wrong!"

Qi Yue glared at Xu Wenruo again, but was defeated by Xu Wenruo's suspicious eyes, so he could only find a reason to run out.

"You think I'm just as idle as you. I'm just thinking about it all day long. I have to prepare for the premiere. I'm so busy that I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Bye."

The menacing Qi Yue fled in a panic, but before Xu Wenruo could react, the phone on the table rang.

"Hello, is this Director Xu?"

"It's me, Boge, long time no see."

"It's been a long time since we talked, otherwise we wouldn't have crashed this time. I only recently found out that your new movie is also released on New Year's Eve."

As soon as Huang Bo opened his mouth, Xu Wenruo knew what he was coming for. It was obvious that the film of the two had crashed this time. When China Film Group and Fengqi Studio were promoting it, the specific release time had not yet been determined. It happened that Huang Bo's film The time for the release of the movie was also relatively urgent. After they confirmed the work, they found out that they had crashed with the two movies.

However, according to the release density of this Lunar New Year file, crashing is also a very normal thing. After all, the most essential time of the Lunar New Year file is the half month before and after the Spring Festival. Now there are eight blockbuster movies released one after another, otherwise there will be a ghost.

In fact, Xu Wenruo also understood what Huang Bo meant by making this call. He definitely wanted to maintain his relationship with Xu Wenruo.

"This is also a time when there is nothing we can do. This year's Lunar New Year slot is really too crowded, and now it's too late to change the schedule."

"You're right. This year's New Year's Eve is not going well. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have come to join in the fun. In fact, after learning about the situation of the Lunar New Year's Eve, I suggested that the schedule be postponed for a while. I was in a hurry, I was in a hurry to release it as soon as I finished filming, alas, this really cannot be said.”

Hearing Xu Wenruo bring up this topic, Huang Bo was also full of bitterness. It is obvious that investors are not so easy to get along with. For investors, the most important thing is to make money. Now there is no industry that makes money faster than making movies , Xu Wenruo's income this year has made countless investors jealous.

"Do your best and listen to the destiny. Now that the movie has been filmed and the schedule has been confirmed, it's up to the audience to choose. What we have to do has already been done, and the rest is not our business."

"Director Xu is still open-minded, so I am here to wish Director Xu a success in the box office of his new movie."

"Boge, you are the same, the box office is a big hit!"

After hanging up Huang Bo's movie, Xu Wenruo couldn't help but shook his head. He really didn't expect Huang Bo to call him specifically for this matter. In fact, Xu Wenruo didn't take this matter to heart at all. He could only say Huang Bo is very good at being a human being, so he called Xu Wenruo to explain this misunderstanding.

In fact, Xu Wenruo didn't take this matter to heart at all. He still has a big heart. Although it was released at the same time, in Xu Wenruo's view, the final box office results depend on the quality of the movie. Everything is left to the audience to choose. Even if you lose, there is nothing to complain about.

Besides, it really wasn't intentional this time, it's just that everyone is eyeing the fat meat of the Lunar New Year stall and just wants to bite off a bite, so it's just up to each one according to his ability.

In the next period of time, the atmosphere of the Lunar New Year stalls became extremely intense. After all, the Spring Festival is approaching, and people who have been busy for a year finally have time to relax and have fun. Watching movies is a very good way of entertainment. The Lunar New Year stalls Several blockbusters are movies that are expected by the audience.

"This year's New Year's Eve is really lively. It can be called an all-star lineup. Count carefully. There are almost ten film stars participating in the competition for the Lunar New Year. This year's Lunar New Year is not to be missed."

"Indeed, "Let the Bullets Fly" is the most anticipated one. I am still looking forward to Xu Wenruo's new movie. He can always create miracles and surprise the audience."

"I am more optimistic about the comedies of Huang Bo and Sheng Teng. They are both very funny comedians. They will definitely have an unexpected chemical reaction together."

"Ye Qinghui, Qingyun Media has actually released a new martial arts film without making a sound. Just because of their name, I have to support it. This trailer is full of memories."

"There are too many good-looking movies for the Lunar New Year festival this time, which makes people overwhelmed. I want to watch them all, but my wallet doesn't allow it. It's uncomfortable."

As time approaches, the topics of the first few films that were released soared over time. Among them, "Let the Bullets Fly" was the most topical, and even the pre-sale box office was far ahead. Tickets are all sold out.

The number of reservations has already reached the third day, and the movie tickets for "Let the Bullets Fly" can be said to be hard to come by. The pre-sale has just started, and the box office has already exceeded one billion, which makes many people in the film and television industry hate their teeth. I can't wait to replace Xu Wenruo, why Xu Wenruo's movie has not been released yet, and the cost has already been recovered.

If there is an answer to this question, it must be word of mouth. A director’s word of mouth is equal to his personal reputation. Xu Wenruo is an idol with a very good reputation. He has never disappointed his fans since his debut. This is why fans can support him unconditionally s reason.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the small year, the capital snowed heavily.

As soon as Xu Wenruo pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind blew outside, making him shiver. Looking at the white scene outside, Xu Wenruo breathed hot air into his hands, and just as he was about to leave, behind him Ms. Deng Xinyu's voice came.

"What's the rush, you haven't finished your meal yet, you are anxious to go out, put on your scarf, it's so cold outside, tell me about you, you're so big, you still make me worry."

Ms. Deng Xinyu held a thick scarf in her hand, and put it around Xu Wenruo's neck, and kept mumbling.

"Mom, I'm already dressed like a polar bear. There's no need to wear such a thick scarf."

"Bring it with you! It's so cold outside, why don't you wear thicker clothes? Keep warm!"

When Ms. Deng Xinyu heard Xu Wenruo's rebuttal, she pulled the scarf hard and almost strangled Xu Wenruo. Xu Wenruo loosened the scarf around her neck so that she could breathe, and met her father Xu Qing's eyes. His eyes were full of helplessness.

No way, no matter how popular Xu Wenruo is outside, in this family, Ms. Deng Xinyu's status is supreme, and the father and son can only accept their fate obediently.

"Okay, Mom, I have to go first, there are people waiting for me down below."

"Come back early after attending the ceremony and make dumplings tonight."

"understood."

Xu Wenruo didn't wait for her to finish, and ran towards the elevator. Looking at Xu Wenruo who was waving behind him, Ms. Deng Xinyu muttered a few words, but Xu Wenruo who had already run away didn't hear him at all.

Xu Wenruo quickly ran into Qi Yue's car, seeing the tightly packed Xu Wenruo, Qi Yue couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, what are you going to do with this outfit? Am I delaying your hibernation?"

"Dogs bark."

Xu Wenruo glared at Qi Yue, then took off the down jacket and scarf, and she lost a lot of weight. Looking at Xu Wenruo's movements, Qi Yue's eyes were still smiling.

"Let's go, my mother ordered me to go back early, and I can't stay outside for too long today."

"Oh."

Hearing Xu Wenruo's words, Qi Yue suddenly lost interest for some reason, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and the carriage became a little silent.

Xu Wenruo, who sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, also realized that he had spoken something. He touched the deep wound in Qi Yue's heart. Usually Xu Wenruo would pay attention to avoid it, but this time he just came out of the house and blurted out some words.

To Xu Wenruo, this seemingly unbearable maternal love is very precious to Qi Yue. She has never felt this kind of feeling since she was a child, so she will inevitably feel a little disappointed when she hears Xu Wenruo's words.

"By the way, how are the preparations for the premiere ceremony going? It's okay."

Xu Wenruo carefully searched for topics, hoping to break the silent atmosphere in the car. Qi Yue is not such a hypocritical person. She quickly adjusted her mood and answered Xu Wenruo's words pretending to be relaxed.

"It has been prepared a long time ago. The people of China Film Group are very experienced. Our people have learned a lot this time. Although it is only a seemingly simple premiere ceremony, many details need to be paid attention to. China Film Group is very responsible for these The details are done very well, and Fengqi Studio will be able to hold banquets according to this regulation in the future."

Xu Wenruo knew that this incident was a small regret in Qi Yue's heart. When the celebration banquet of "A Chinese Journey to the West" was held, the process was not as smooth as expected, which made the people of Star Information Films see a joke.

Although the banquet was successfully held in the end, this matter has become a thorn in Qi Yue's heart. She has talked about it with Xu Wenruo many times, and she will never make mistakes in the future.
