"You don't have to pay attention to the box office trends of other people's movies every day." Chi Yu walked up to her and sighed helplessly, "Red Careerist" has only been officially released for less than two days. Even if the data is good now, it doesn't mean that the movie is really successful."

Dai Xiaoyue took off her sunglasses and stared at him coldly: "The cost of this movie is no more than 40 million, and now its box office has fully earned back the cost. No matter what, this movie can't lose money."

"So? You should have anticipated this situation. How could a movie script that can convince Shen Man to come back be bad?"

"I--" Facing Chi Yu's merciless question, Dai Xiaoyue choked and couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

When she first learned that the screenwriter and director were both newcomers in the industry, she had laughed at Su Lingxi behind his back. Even when it was later officially announced that Shen Man would also be starring in the film, she only thought that Shen Man was dragged here by Ruan Tang to help out because she was short of money, and she never thought of any other possibilities.

Chi Yu gently put down the cup in his hand, with a hint of indifference in his tone: "Although the screenwriter Ye is only a newcomer in the industry, he is able to independently write an original script with a wonderful plot and full character settings. This alone has surpassed his peers who can only rely on remaking novels to make movies."

"If you are willing to spend time to find out this information, it is impossible not to find out - your biggest problem at this stage is that you have high expectations but low skills. Blindly believing in big directors and gold medal screenwriters will do you no good at all."

"Is the cast of The Banality of Evil not good enough? But what about the box office performance? The plot couldn't hold up and it still flopped."

Chi Yu's words made Dai Xiaoyue's face look even uglier.

Before its release, "The Banality of Evil" was one of the most anticipated movies of this summer. The director and screenwriter won the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Rooster Award respectively. The male and female protagonists also had good acting skills. The only thing they lacked was a trophy to prove themselves.

No one expected that The Banality of Evil, which occupied the first position in the summer vacation, would be such a flop. Although the pre-sale has exceeded 8000 million, the total box office has not yet reached 5 million. Not only that, there are endless complaints on the Internet, and the real-time box office is plummeting every day.

"It seems that the money Hengsheng Pictures spent on pre-release publicity was indeed not wasted." Dai Xiaoyue snorted coldly and put on her sunglasses again. "Su Lingxi had better pray that every movie she makes can be so lucky and have someone to help her clean up the mess."

Chi Yu glanced at her and didn't respond.

He had taken time out of his day to watch the original film last night, and now he couldn't in good conscience denigrate the quality of the film.

Dai Xiaoyue felt even worse when she saw that he didn't respond.

In fact, since yesterday, those bright red box office numbers on the APP have been stimulating her nerves like some kind of radar - she can hardly control the panic in her heart that is about to overflow.

Dai Xiaoyue had never thought that Su Lingxi was much better than herself in any way. Even in terms of acting skills, the two were just about on par with each other. She might be slightly inferior, but not by much.

But she didn't expect that the box office of "Red Careerist" would be so high.

The two most important criteria for judging movie actresses are box office and awards. Su Lingxi has achieved such box office results in her first leading role. Looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry, which 00 flower can compare to her?

Even though the film is ostensibly of equal size, Su Lingxi will definitely reap the biggest benefits.

If the final box office of "Red Careerist" can really break the 5 million mark, the film resources handed to Su Lingxi will only become more and more numerous and better and better.

This also means that Su Lingxi has officially established herself in the film industry as a leading actress. As long as she has the resources, it is only a matter of time before she wins the Best Actress award.

It's not easy for actresses to make it in the film industry, but once they are able to make it, their status is unconditionally higher than that of TV actors.

Dai Xiaoyue used to be secretly proud of the fact that the number of fans she had accumulated from her TV drama acting was not much less than Su Lingxi's, but now she only realizes it belatedly and feels scared.

She was afraid that she would become a nobody and be left far behind.

This emotion at this moment is even stronger than when I first learned that I lost the audition opportunity for "The First Lady".

"You don't need to be discouraged. This movie is facing a lot of pressure from public opinion." Chi Yu said gently, "The protagonist's tendency is too obvious. Generally speaking, movies with this kind of theme will naturally lose some male audiences."

While feminist films try to please female audiences, they can also easily be accused of stirring up conflict between men and women, and thus be criticized by some male netizens.

This is not something Chi Yu made up, but a real example that has appeared in the history of Chinese film.

"Red Careerist" boldly advocates the idea that "women can also be ambitious and can give up their families for their careers." In the eyes of male chauvinists and traditional women, this value should not exist - it is even wrong.

They don’t care about the profound meaning of the movie or the beauty of any shot. They just think Tong Yan’s choice is inexplicable.

No matter how amazing and natural Su Lingxi's acting is, once someone uses public opinion to guide this group of people, they will undoubtedly take the lead in boycotting this movie.

Chi Yu looked at Dai Xiaoyue's absent-minded appearance, and a feasible plan slowly emerged in his mind.

If he had to use some tricks to win, he didn't mind being the ruthless knife wielder.

Chi Yu knew from a young age that the road to success could not be a pure and flawless one.

While Dangdai Xiaoyue was daydreaming in the RV, Xia Yuqing was also following the relevant information of "Red Careerist" in her mansion in the imperial capital.

Although the Ban group had not yet released its scores, there were already countless movie-related posts in the group. Xia Yuqing glanced casually and clicked on a post that had hundreds of floors.

[Original Poster: Although I hate resource-rich people, "Red Ambition" is really good. [滑膝顶锅盖.jpq]]

【1L: Thank you for your likes. The audience has sharp eyes. 】

[2L: First of all, I don’t think I have a lot of resources. Secondly, I agree with the second half of your statement. "Red Careerist" is undoubtedly a sincere work. ]

[3L: I watched it, and it was pretty average. The jokes weren't that good, and there wasn't much depth. It seemed like the movie was just a marketing effort.]

[4L: I'm familiar with the Momo upstairs. Can you please stop acting here, old actor? ]

[5L: Welcome to the lucky draw post I just posted to celebrate the reversal of the box office of Red Ambition. You can draw 10 movie tickets~]

[6L: The female lead got promoted too quickly, which was a bit fake, and Kang Xin's character was also a bit flat. Overall, it's okay, I'd give it a 7.]

[7L: I passed by and bumped into Shen Man and Su Lingxi (can I say this?)]

【8L: [It is normal to get knocked.jpg]】

[9L: The subject matter is very good. It is one of the few real workplace films in China. I agree with the original poster.]

【10L: Uh, a certain fan came here again after smelling the smell...】
