Superstars start as villains

Chapter 159 The increasingly rampant piracy.

[Disciples] The domestic box office was 3800 million in the first week, which did not meet Er Dongsheng’s expectations. One of the more important reasons is piracy. With the development of the Internet, more and more users, many piracy websites have formed an industrial chain , Some pirate websites even directly purchase copies from some small theaters, record high-definition versions of videos, and at the same time make profits through interface advertisements and pre-roll advertisements.

This situation was not obvious in the past few years, because online video has high requirements on bandwidth and servers, and the price of online advertising has never been raised. However, since 06, the appearance of Youku and Tudou has made many pirated websites also Seeing business opportunities, they rely on the high amount of clicks to attract advertisers to place advertisements. They only need to rent a server to meet the needs of netizens, which is nothing more than a little stuck.

What more can you ask for than something free?Most netizens have a similar mentality, not to mention Youku and Tudou. They pretend to be users to share a lot of resources. They don’t spend a penny of copyright fees, they have massive resources, and the user base is getting bigger and bigger. .

【Love Call Transfer】Naturally, it was not spared. The box office in the first week was 2360 million, and the high-definition video was hung on the Internet from the third day onwards.

In the end, the box office of [Disciple] stopped at 6423 million in the mainland and 2653 million in Hong Kong. This box office is not bad for Er Dongsheng, because his own style is partial to literary films. The pure commercial film shot this time can have such At the same time, the word-of-mouth is also quite good, which is already considered a pass.

[Love Call Transfer] The mainland box office stopped at 4560 million. Xiangjiang did not show it, mainly because of the distribution costs. The last time [Crazy Stone] Xiangjiang box office was close to zero. It was actually a loss, and the film itself was also a small cost. , The actors are also mainland actors, so they simply didn't think about that.

However, even so, the mainland box office of "Love Call Transfer" is enough for Zhou Xing to make a fortune. Making money is actually secondary. Even if the entire film and television industry is on its feet.

In fact, not every film and television investment company can make money. There are only so many good scripts and crews every year, and projects that lose money are the norm. However, as long as there are one or two benchmark works, it is enough to attract people. Young directors or other film and television companies have sought cooperation, which is the same as the living environment of actors.

The box office hit of "Love Call Transfer" naturally attracted the attention of the media. Xu Zheng originally performed quite well in "Crazy Stone", but in that play, he was only a supporting role, and he could only be regarded as a mixed bag. Familiar.

However, in this play, Xu Zheng played the leading role, especially he also has a big bald head. This is the first time I have seen such a male lead. The recognition is too high, and it has left a deep impression on the audience. impression.

With the foundation of this drama, Xu Zheng has completely completed the leap from a TV actor to a movie starring role. In just a few days, more than a dozen script invitations were sent to his agent.

Not only Xu Zheng, but also the female stars who came to play guest roles have received a lot of attention because of this drama. Among them, Fan Bingbing, who plays Chen Xiaoyu, is the most popular. With this capable policewoman image in the film, he has won many fans for himself .

For this reason, Fan Bingbing also specially called Wang Jinghua to express his gratitude. If it wasn't for Wang Jinghua's relationship, she might have missed this role.

Apart from Fan Bingbing, Tong Lia, who played the role of Long Xiaoxia, is the most brilliant. This romantic, fantasy-loving, outspoken girl has won the favor of many male audiences since her debut.

Tong Lia didn't expect it herself. It wasn't until she went to the Chinese opera to report and the reaction of her classmates that she knew that she was inexplicably popular.

"Okay, don't patronize stinky beauty, eat the noodles first." Zhou Xing couldn't help laughing seeing Tong Lia smirking while holding a pile of newspapers.

Tong Lia gave Zhou Xing a blank look, and then she folded the newspaper and put it aside contentedly: "Hmph, I don't believe it, you never did this when you first became famous."

"Really not." Zhou Xing thought for a while: "At that time, I was playing Lian Jin, a big villain. Almost all the newspapers in Xiangjiang scolded me. I'm not a masochist. I even bought newspapers to see what they did. Scold me?"

"Pfft, I didn't expect you to be in such a mess." Tong Lia burst out laughing.

Zhou Xing didn't speak, just looked at her so quietly, Tong Lia was a little embarrassed, and glared at him coquettishly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"looks good."

"Cut, don't come here." Tong Liya said duplicity: "There are so many actresses you have worked with, and all of them are prettier than me. Do you also stare at them like this?"

"Guess." Zhou Xing winked for a while.

Tong Lia suddenly smiled, revealing her two iconic canine teeth: "No, otherwise, how could you not even have scandals after so many years."

Well, Zhou Xing admitted that what the girl said was quite reasonable, and in this moment of stupefaction, suddenly a pair of bare hands grabbed both sides of her cheeks.

I heard Tong Lia seriously: "However, starting from today, from now on, you are not allowed to look at other women like this again, you understand?"

Zhou Xing smiled secretly, this girl, with this aura, is quite announcing to the world: You are mine.

"Well, then, I sacrificed so much, what compensation are you going to give?" Zhou Xing had just finished speaking when he was tapped lightly by a pair of vermilion lips.

Tong Lia wanted to escape at the first glance, but it was a pity that she had already used this trick once. How could Zhou Xing let her escape so easily, so he grabbed her and kissed her hard.

"It's time to change your lipstick. I'll go to Xiangjiang next week and bring it for you when I come back." After a while, Zhou Xing let go of Tong Lia, who was out of breath.

Tong Lia glared at him angrily, and spat with a flushed face: "Bah, who wants your lipstick."

"If you don't eat noodles anymore, you will be lumpy."

"Humph."

In the room, Tong Lia was eating noodles, and Zhou Xing just looked at her quietly, time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"How long will it take to come back from filming this time?" Tong Lia blushed to avoid the fiery gaze of a scoundrel opposite, and almost buried her face in the bowl.

"It should be two or three months. After the filming is finished, the filming of the [Certificate of Name] will start." Zhou Xing said apologetically, holding Tong Lia's hand that was holding the side of the bowl.

"After I've been busy for the past two years, I'll shift my main energy behind the scenes, and I'll have more time with you."

Tong Lia looked at Zhou Xing in surprise. With Zhou Xing's current status, he is the first echelon in the entire Chinese film and television industry. She also knows that Zhou Xing must have put in a lot of hard work that no one else can see, just to have more Spend time with her and retreat behind the scenes.

"Come on, you've seen all the scenery from a high place. I've just arrived at the foot of the mountain. Hmph, don't expect me to stay at home after graduation. If you want to go down the mountain, you have to wait until I reach the top of the mountain." It would be a lie to say that she was not moved, but she was also afraid that Zhou Xing's promise was too good, what if the reality was not so satisfactory?

"Pfft, I just thought of getting engaged, and now you're thinking of a husband and a child? It seems that I don't think as far ahead as you~~~"

As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, he was hit on the arm, and Tong Lia blushed with shame: "Let you talk nonsense."

After arguing for a while, Zhou Xing suddenly rolled his eyes: "Why don't you rest here today?"

"Okay." Tong Lia smiled like a flower, but taking advantage of Zhou Xing's inattention, she turned around lightly and slipped out of his arms: "Good idea, I'll go first, the dormitory will be closed later."

"I'll see you off." For this, Zhou Xing could only spread his hands, expressing regret.

At the gate of the Chinese opera, Tong Lia got out of the car and was about to leave, Zhou Xing rolled down the window: "Are you sure you don't want a parting kiss?"

"Okay, close your eyes."

Zhou Xing kept an eye out, but he was caught just as he was about to take a sneak peek, so he had to close his eyes.

However, after a while, there was still no movement. Tong Lia had already run to the school gate, smiling like a little fox: "Go back and sleep well, and don't have sweet dreams."

"This girl." Zhou Xing shook his head helplessly, but felt much better.

As soon as Tong Lia opened the door of the dormitory, she found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere inside.

"It's so late, why did you go? Be honest, you know the party's policies." Wang Zixuan glared at Tong Lia, and the other two girls also blocked her retreat.

Seeing that something was wrong, Tong Lia quickly acted like a baby: "Oh, what are you doing? I'm just hungry and go out to eat something."

"Who did you eat with?"

"No one."

"Huh? Being dishonest, you'll be punished!" Wang Zixuan slapped the table.

"Don't~~~"

After laughing for a while, Tong Liya couldn't win with two fists and four hands, so she had to beg for mercy.

"One, one friend."

"Boyfriend?" The three girls looked at each other and smiled.

Tong Liya also tried to quibble: "It is indeed a man."

"Nonsense, I don't know it's a man? Look at your brows." Wang Zixuan glared at her.

"Wow, no way." Tong Lia blushed with embarrassment.

"I still said no, I think you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, I just saw you getting off a BMW at the school gate, and said, who is it?"

"What kind of BMW, it's obviously an Audi." Tong Lia just realized that she was being fooled by the cliché.

"Oh, so it's Audi." Wang Zixuan blinked triumphantly.

Before Tong Liya could regret it, the phone rang again suddenly. Just as she was about to hang up, Wang Zixuan glared at her viciously: "Turn on the speakerphone."

Tong Lia tried to resist, but was ruthlessly suppressed by the three of them, and the phone was finally turned on speakerphone.

"Hey, are you okay? It took so long to pick up, have you arrived in the dormitory?"

"Well, it's here. I'm going to sleep. I'll contact you tomorrow." Tong Lia hung up quickly with quick eyesight.

There was a sudden riot in the dormitory, but Wang Zixuan didn't participate in it until the three of them were out of breath and questioned her.

Only then did Wang Zixuan look at Tong Lia suspiciously: "Don't you think this voice sounds familiar?"

"Is there? Could it be that we are also in the play?"
