Physician’s Odyssey
Chapter 1818 Small Cost and Big Counterattack
"Although Zhao Fan's heart is more wild, his basic skills are still relatively solid." Xu Shanshan attacked Zhao Fan face to face to Shi Hai, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
Although Zhao Fan retired from the crew for many years, she occasionally missed Zhao Fan's dedication to herself.
Shi Hai turned his face and didn't recognize people. This kind of mentality was a bit uncomfortable. If he parted ways with himself that day, I am afraid it would be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
Zhao Fan left a shadow in Xu Shanshan's heart.
Although Xu Shanshan has many excellent men around her, she knows that those people are just acting on the spot with herself. How many of them are really pure emotions?
When Zhao Fan was driven away, could it be that Xu Shanshan felt a sense of panic in her heart, she was worried that one day she would be defeated by Zhao Fan's tender offensive.
Xu Shanshan is an ambitious woman. She wants to be the best female director in China, but she also knows her environment clearly.Women who can be successful in China are originally rare, and there are only a handful of successful female directors.
Xu Shanshan knows that if she wants to climb up, she has to rely on outside forces. With her own beauty, she can easily become a custom filmmaker and investor, and she has successfully created a hit movie after another. , And getting closer and closer to my dream.
Xu Shanshan is mentally wise and sober, and these recent movies have not been innovative, and they are all routine movies that cater to commercial tastes.
The old-fashioned bridges and dry dialogues do not make people’s eyes bright. A movie like this can certainly get some results at the box office, but it is difficult to win international awards.
I have worked as a director for many years, and what I am most satisfied with is the few virgin works that Zhao Fan racked his brains with himself when he was on the crew.
Some places seem to be very young, with a lot of effort and energy, and also incorporate their own personal characteristics.
Xu Shanshan has never inquired about Zhao Fan's current situation. In her opinion, since the way is different, there is no need to seek it out.
And because of his mediocrity, Zhao Fan did not appear in his vision for a long time.
Unexpectedly, this year, Zhao Fan, like a thunderstorm, rose rapidly like mushrooms after a rain, and quickly became famous thanks to the hot variety show "Youth and Wild".
In the world of directors, first-rate directors do movies, second-rate directors do TV series, and third-rate directors do variety shows...
…
In Xu Shanshan's view, even if Zhao Fan became famous in one fell swoop by shooting reality TV shows, he is not in the limelight at all.
Therefore, the big movie "Youth and Wild" directed by Zhao Fan is not in Xu Shanshan's eyes at all, and this movie is not the main competitor of "Heaven's Secret".
The performance on the premiere day also tells everything. The box office of "Mystery" is more than 50 million. Although there is a lot of moisture, it is at least 2 million higher than the big movie "Youth and Wild", which is more than one grade higher.
Xu Shanshan doesn't know the box office of more than 50 million yuan, of which there is plenty of moisture, and they all come from the "Youth Wild" movie.
When Xu Shanshan saw someone comparing the results of the two films on the Internet, she instinctively felt that it was a shame!
"At the film festival, many people are leaving, affected by the withdrawal of the "Youth and Wild" team." A crew member rushed in and said.
"Although the market response of that big movie is not good, there is still some popularity." Shi Hai's vicious eyes flashed past.
Xu Shanshan glanced over Shi Hai and said faintly: "The film festival will begin soon, let's sit in."
Xu Shanshan led a group of people into the guest seat from the backstage rest area. She swept away to a slightly deserted seat, feeling a little surprised in her heart, because she had seen the audience halfway through, but she didn't expect that there were so many people leaving.
Xu Shanshan will not be affected by the audience withdrawal.
She often participates in this kind of film festival, so her speech is unusually full of personality, not only humorous, but also very intelligent.
At the end of the film festival, Xu Shanshan had a supper with the crew and the actors, and returned to the hotel where she was staying. It was early morning.
She turned on the laptop and retrieved the box office report of the day from her mailbox. She was slightly surprised, because the box office the next day was a bit incomprehensible.
"Tian Ji" still leads with 40 million box office in a single day, but the second place is "Youth and Wild" big movie, followed by 20 million box office, and the recent box office list also rushed to seventh and eighth. position.
"They must have bought the box office." Xu Shanshan quickly made a judgment. Unless they buy the box office, it is absolutely impossible to suddenly go from 2 million to 20 million, so the increase is too big.
However, the act of buying the box office falls within the scope of unspoken rules, and it is not a matter of anger.
After all, the money is paid out with real money.Moreover, the box office of "Tian Ji" is not so emotional and contains water, but it is just a matter of how much. If the results are not up to expectations, a part of the budget will be invested in it to operate the box office.
Many movie theaters have private movies without an audience, but the movie tickets are all sold out. This is what the publicity company is making a fuss behind.
"Tianji" is already inevitable for the box office champions from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival this year.
Xu Shanshan thought for a while, called Liang Cheng, and asked, "What is the actual box office today?"
Liang Cheng is a night owl, he is also studying yesterday's box office situation, truthfully said: "22.38 million."
Xu Shanshan frowned and said: "Why is there 10 million less than yesterday."
According to the trend of the box office, the box office of the previous week should have risen steadily every day; it remained flat in the second week, and only declined until the third and fourth weeks.
But it was only the second day, and the box office of "Heavenly Mystery" was already in decline, which made Xu Shanshan realize that this was by no means a good sign.
"From tomorrow we will increase the number of tablets." Liang Cheng also smelled a hint of danger.
The box office of "Heavenly Mystery" declined the next day. The actual box office of the "Youth Wild" movie still maintained an increase of about 40% despite the overwhelming negative conditions.
Judging from Liang Cheng's experience, the big movie "Youth and Wild" has a low cost and a short production cycle, but it suits the taste of the public.
The public’s aesthetic is very strange and it is constantly changing. At this stage, you may like movies with a relaxed and entertaining style. At the next stage, you may like movies with grand war scenes.
Even experienced veterans cannot truly grasp the public's aesthetics.
If it were not for the commission of Han Zhaolun, he would now take the initiative to contact the team of the "Youth Wild" movie, because the data will not lie or deceive people. As long as the opportunity to operate the box office of this movie can be obtained, the value will far exceed Operate "Tianji".
Xu Shanshan paused and asked: "What do you think of the box office of the "Youth Wild" movie?"
"Although it is a low-cost film, the market response has been pretty good." Liang Cheng said quickly, "However, you don't have to worry too much. Although their single-day box office has risen today, they can't maintain it forever. It is very likely that the other party secretly operated the box office and spent tens of millions to buy the box office."
Liang Cheng also hoped that his analysis was correct, but reason told him that the possibility was not very high.
If you are buying at the box office and you have many friends inside the theater, someone will definitely remind yourself in time.
It is natural to report the good and not the worry. It is impossible for Liang Cheng to tell Xu Shanshan that the actual box office of the second day of the youth and wild movie has exceeded the "Secret".
In addition, two thousand fake box office, all stolen are "Youth Wild" movie!
However, Liang Cheng did it in private for stealing the box office the next day, and did not inform the "Tianji" side.
Xu Shanshan still doesn't know that the 20 million yuan of water comes from a major movie of "Youth and Wild", but thinks that these box offices are scattered from other movies that went online at the same time.
The reason is that Liang Cheng couldn't let "Heaven's Secret" know that they were eating double lines, not only took over their business, but also secretly helped Han Zhaolun suppress the box office of the "Youth Wild" movie.
Stepping on two boats with one foot is not a good thing under any circumstances.
Xu Shanshan got the confirmation from Liang Cheng, and she felt a little stable, and smiled: "The box office in the next few days needs your special attention. We must win the box office of the New Year's Day and Spring Festival movie."
Liang Cheng smiled and said: "Such a good start, there must be no problem."
After talking to Liang Cheng, Xu Shanshan took a reassurance. She turned off the computer and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
When I changed into my bathrobe and got my mobile phone, I suddenly found that several missed calls were from Shihai.
"What happened?" Xu Shanshan's tone was very dissatisfied. It's almost a little bit now. Calling herself is obviously out of date.
"There is something I must tell you now. Just now, Yunhai Satellite TV called. Tomorrow, the variety show "All-Star Attack", which our crew will participate in, will be terminated by the TV station." Shi Hai smiled bitterly.
"All-Star Attack" is a golden variety show on Yunhai TV. The ratings are very high. If the actors can participate in the recording of this show and cooperate with the promotion of the movie, it can attract at least 50 million yuan in the box office. Now it has been rejected. It means losing 50 million in the box office.
"Did the other party say the reason for rejection?" Xu Shanshan said angrily.
Generally, there is no agreement or contract for announcements of TV variety shows, because the schedule of actors can change at any time. If there is an verbal agreement, it will not change easily.
"No, but I can think of the reason." Shi Hai said solemnly, "It must be Zhao Fan. They are using the resources of the TV circle to try to interfere with our box office."
In the film and television industry, the force of movies must surpass that of TV series.Therefore, people who make movies generally look down on people in the TV circle, and people in the TV circle want to squeeze into the film circle.Moreover, the situation of seniority in the film circle is very obvious. Nowadays, well-known directors, except for those who are already famous by the older generation, rarely appear new directors.
Not to mention that the new director wants to be famous, but even if he wants to enter the theater, it is difficult to reach the sky.
Xu Shanshan sneered: "Since they want to go head-to-head, let's try it. It's too much to take it for granted that you want to make a movie that is shoddy."
