Perfect Superstar

Beijing Wall, Great Wall Hall.

The Great Wall Hall is a very special place in the capital city, which brings together most of the entertainment forces in the country.

The venue, which is classified as the oldest private club in the country, is largely closed to the public. It uses an invitational membership system. Only those invited are eligible to become members inside, and the majority of those invited are entertainment, the media, top figures in the literary industry and celebrity celebrities.

For those who have a face in the entertainment world of the Great Wall, membership in the Great Wall Hall is proof of identity, and the Great Wall Hall is a great place for their usual social rewards.

And what these people are talking about is inseparable from current film and television entertainment.

“49.2 million…”

In some elegant room in the Great Wall Hall, a group of people are making tea chat, and some people quickly mentioned the first song of Laughter River and Lake, which was just released yesterday, and its first day's box office results attracted interest.

These people are the helmsmen of film companies, directors of entertainment brokerage companies, red movie stars, famous freelance writers, and even executives of the IT community.

Lu Shengda, general manager of Marriott Film Industry, was one of them. When he heard the other party talk about the first day of Laughter River and Lake, he couldn't help but pick out his thick eyebrows and a little shadow flashed in his eyes.

As an inner circle and a superior figure, Lu Shengda certainly knew that Laughter River and Lake was officially released yesterday, but he didn't want to follow the film.

Because "Laughing Awful River and Lake" as a martial arts film is too easy to remind him of his major failures a few months ago.

With the Junior River and Lake Project fully promoted by Lu Shengda, the country's first great martial arts film, the production cost, together with the propaganda investment of nearly 300 million huge system, the box office barely exceeded 400 million, basically hopeless to return home, made him greatly disgraced in the circle once.

Although "Junior River and Lake Trip" is not much better than the two films of the same type shown later in "The Five Years of the New Seven" and "The Long Son of the River and Lake", it still throws a basin of cold water at the ambitious Rushengda.

The failure of the film has led to a considerable decline in his authority in the Marriott Film Industry, which has yet to be fully restored and is a scar that his mind cannot touch together.

But Lu Shengda was unwilling and could not stop others from discussing it. After all, when it comes to the current movie, "Laughter River and Lake" is absolutely inescapable. I don't know how many people in the industry are staring at it.

“Less than 50 million? ”

The young man sitting next to Rushengda laughed: “It would be nice if Fei Media could recover the cost in the morning. If I were Lu Chen, I would interrupt the shooting in the back two parts, otherwise the more the shooting, the more the compensation! ”

The young man is the CEO of a new media company, socializing with Rushenda, with whom there is a deep partnership, and he is well aware of Rushenda's thoughts at this moment.

For a domestically produced film, nearly 50 million box office on the first day is already very good, but "Laughter River and Lake" has invested hundreds of millions, the publicity has smashed tens of millions, plus the appeal of many big star cafes such as Lu Chen, such an achievement can not fail.

The first day of the Juvenile River and Lake Tour was more than 100 million, and the cliff-like decline occurred behind it. There was not even half of the Juvenile River and Lake Tour. It was only aggressive to succeed!

Lu Shengda was comfortable at heart. He thought the other party made a lot of sense. They were all martial arts films. There are examples of "Junior River and Lake". How can "Laughing Awful River and Lake" reverse the market?

The 49.2 million first-day box office is the best proof!

Immediately, someone said, "Yeah, the rival of Laughter River and Lake is a huge action film in the giant film industry. I think Lu Chen is going to put up a big fight this time. I heard that his total budget for shooting the Laughter and Pride trilogy is 500 million, and most of the money comes from Chenfei Media. ”

The people here are essentially inner circles and well-informed people who have a good understanding of the Laughter River and Lake situation and speak naturally.

Lu Shengda exclaimed: “Martial arts is really not a good subject, even I have been ignored. Now think about it. It was really impulsive. I thought I could create a new type of domestically produced film. How can innovation be so simple...”

He was kind of exposed to his ugliness, but with the accompaniment of Laughing Awful River and Lake, he didn't have much pressure to mock himself, or even some luck - at least not too much for Juvenile River and Lake.

“Yeah, yeah...”

Everyone nodded, talking about domestic films today, when there are three main types of red, youth idols, comedy films, and IP derivatives.

Martial arts films can also be included in the scope of IP derivatives. Several screenings are adapted from popular Martial arts novels, but they definitely belong to new subject types and are relatively risky.

The path to innovation has never been easy to follow, and even Hollywood will never try new types of themes, especially those with huge investments.

Like the action movie "Ace Agent" just released, it's entirely a product of Hollywood's entertainment pipeline, the most typical popcorn movie, that easily crushed "Laughter River Lake" in the box office.

Laughter River and Lake was chosen to appear on a relatively less competitive National Day, and the shock from Hollywood films could not be avoided as usual. Failure was almost predictable.

“No one can ever succeed...”

The young CEO of the new media company said: "The myth of Lu Chen's defeat should also be broken. I just hope he doesn't lose too badly this time. After all, his talent is outstanding. ”

Anyone can hear the meaning of the tragedy in his tone, and those who know the inside know that the new media company wanted to work with Chenfi Media, and the latter refused to do so, so... everyone understands.

But he also said a lot of people's thoughts, and a few people smiled.

Yes, no one can ever succeed, Lu Chen is no exception!

At this point, someone asked, "By the way, who here has seen this movie? ”

When Yamamoto was silent, the crows looked at each other.

There are a lot of small circles in the pan entertainment circle, they are different from the circle that Chenfi Media is in, so no one has attended the premiere of Laughter River and Lake, and they did not go to the cinema yesterday.

This is somewhat embarrassing, but soon someone switched the subject away and the atmosphere regained its liveliness.

What does it matter if you don't see it? Can this movie still go through the sky?

Rushenda doesn't believe it, and neither does everyone.
