become famous

After "Six Kingdoms" was finished for a while, "East Look", produced by "Yi Ran Culture Company", directed by Li Chaoyin, starring Zuo Ran, but not participated by He Xiuyi, was released first.

He Xiuyi didn't play the role, but he spared no effort in helping to promote it.Not only shouted on Weibo, but also personally went to help out the premiere across the country.

Regarding this, Li Chaoyin also smiled and said: "Hey, after filming a gay-themed movie, most actors will avoid their counterparts for a few years, because... it's always awkward. You two have a good relationship. , are still filming together, even if they are acting separately, they still support each other, there are not many people in the entertainment industry who have this kind of relationship."

He Xiuyi: "Oh..."

Then, after thinking for a few seconds, He Xiuyi suddenly said inexplicably, "Director Li, thank you."

"Huh? Thank you? Thank you? Are you allowed to play the male lead in "Family"? I'm sorry to say that, at the beginning, I only asked you to act as a naked substitute, which is a waste of talent." Liu Yangting's naked substitute also needs acting skills, But using He Xiuyi is still a big deal.Li Chaoyin knew that after He Xiuyi starred in "The Family", he received many movie invitations one after another. At the same time, because he met Zuo Ran in the "Family" crew, he signed a contract with the studio and starred in "Wanli Longsha" all because of that man. one.

"No," He Xiuyi said, "Actually, I want to thank you more... for asking me to be the naked substitute of "Family". Even if I don't become the male lead, I will still thank you." He reunited with Zuo Ran there.Compared to this point, a "Song Zhi" character is not very important.The relationship with Zuo Ran is extremely precious.Besides, Zuo Ran made him better and better, no matter from the perspective of acting skills or resources, so the "opportunity" that should be cherished at ordinary times suddenly seems not so critical-he can always start again into showbiz.

Li Chaoyin: "...?" Naked substitute?Naked substitutes are also worthy of thanks?

He doesn't care about CP building, and of course he doesn't know that Zuo Ran is a "barley."

"It's fine." He Xiuyi shook his head, "I'll explain it to you later."

"En." Li Chaoyin didn't ask any more.

In the end, "Looking East" earned 28 billion at the box office, 20 million more than the 8 billion of "Wanli Longsha".Not great at a ballooning box office, but definitely not bad either.

Unlike purely local directors, Li Chaoyin has been in Hollywood in the early years. Therefore, his "main theme" movie is not only "burning", but also has a feeling of deep thinking about history and the current situation.

"Looking East" had a box office of 28 billion. After tax payment and theater share, 14 billion was given out, and the remaining 14 billion was taken away by Star Media as the distributor of about 2 million.Therefore, after deducting the production cost of 5 million yuan, "Yiran Culture Company" made a net profit of 7 million yuan, while the previous "Wanli Longsha" had a net profit of 1.5 million yuan because the cost was only a little more than 7 million yuan.

After being converted into a cultural company, the investment income is similar to the expenses of "Seeing Yu Meili again", which can be offset.

Several films are carried alone, without the participation of other companies.That is to say, so far, within two years and eight months since Zuo Ran switched careers as a director, he earned 48 billion at the box office, excluding film production costs, company operating costs, etc., and made a net profit of more than one billion.

In this way, in order to win the bet with "Star Media", the box office of "Six Kingdoms" needs to be at least 7 million.

Only 7 million.

The contract at that time was that if the box office of the three commercial blockbusters reached 55 billion within three years, 'Starry Sky' would inject another 26 million for the studio's subsequent development, and the equity would remain unchanged. If not... Zuo Ran would transfer it to ' Star's [-]% stake was handed over and the position of the largest shareholder was handed over to "Star Media".

Not difficult.

……

"Six Kingdoms" is expected to premiere within two months before the end of the "three-year contract".

There is no other reason, and perfectionists have too high requirements for the later stage.

Zuo Ran has this character.

The relationship needs to be perfect, and the partner needs to be "perfect".

And He Xiuyi is the only "perfect" person he has ever met, in his heart.

He Xiuyi is so good, he can't find any flaws.

In short, the later studios rushed to "Six Kingdoms".

They set up a "water and sky" team, specializing in the production of water and sky special effects.What drove them crazy the most was the scene "Pan Yu rescued Pan Feng in the storm", because when filming "Storm", a drop of water was useless!Normally, there will be nozzles spraying water to create the effect of heavy rain, but Zuo Ran said that it is too fake, all CG, and it must be real!The studio felt bitter and worked overtime.Finally, in the "storm" scene, each shot contains [-] million water droplets, and the plot of one second needs a computer to calculate for three days. Moreover, it is not possible to use software to input wind power to design waves, but to use the "Left Guide" to achieve the desired effect Figure, push back according to the screen.

Additionally, there is a "character" team that moves the actors into the background.In another scene, because it was too difficult, Zuo Ran used Wu Bi, but asked to "change his face" in the later stage, changing his appearance to Wu Bi, and he couldn't pass through. This technology is very advanced.

He Xiuyi didn't know about this at first, he didn't follow the team all the time, and he didn't even know that Zuo Ran had a substitute.

But... when the two were looking at the sample, He Xiuyi only glanced at it casually, and said stubbornly to Zuo Ran, "This person's body is not yours."

Zuo Ran: "Huh?"

"The figure is very similar to yours, very, very similar, it can be faked, but it's not you."

"..." Zuo Ran felt that, according to the level of sophistication in the studio and the similarity between the two, it would be impossible for parents to find out when they came, but He Xiuyi glanced at it and was so sure.

He Xiuyi said: "Your waist is longer, not much, two fingers. The shoulders are also wider, one finger on each side? And the hips, the length of the arms is different, and the fingers are also different. Hey, everywhere It's all different."

"..." Zuo Ran said, "Xiu Yi."

"Ok?"

"Open your mouth."

"Oh..." As soon as he opened his mouth, the tip of the other party's tongue jumped in, kissing frantically, with a special kind of love.

……

In any case, the studio hustles and hustles, and finally finishes on time.

"Six Kingdoms War" has also been finalized - that is, one month before the end of the "three-year agreement".

Zuo Ran had a month to accumulate box office.

He brought He Xiuyi and two Miaomiao to participate in activities everywhere.

Ever since He Xiuyi was trampled on when he was "expressed", Wang Miaomiao never dared to be next to him again.She had no choice but to stand beside Zuo Ran, but Zuo Ran's legs were too long, she still looked short in the Heantiangao, she was very helpless, there was no guts in the manuscript to shorten Zuo Ran's legs, or make her own The legs are P long.

It is a pity that Long Fei, who was invited by Zuo Ran to play the male third, that is, "the most powerful King of Kingdom B", was unable to attend because he played "I" in "See You Meili Again" very well.

Things are a bit pathetic.

Long Fei, after being recommended by Zuo Ran to Director Li Chaoyin, played the role of a non-commissioned officer of a transportation unit who was injured by a stray bullet and died in "East Look". It jumped up suddenly, and a well-known director publicly praised it on Weibo!In short, after Long Fei was hidden due to the "splashing yogurt" incident, although he became more popular than before through funny jokes and funny videos, but in the end it was just like that. The film "Looking East" made him almost Everyone could recognize his face and knew that it was Li Ming, the "non-commissioned officer".

At this time, Long Fei, who was finally popular by himself after being hidden by the snow for two years, did another impulsive thing like "splashing yogurt", and I don't know if it was "drinking two cups" again.

He publicly criticized the company.

On Weibo, he wrote another story.

The story is that a dragon was repeatedly told "you are a snake, you are a snake", and was pressed into the mud, hoping that he would die.However, the dragon is a dragon, relying on himself, and finally flew into the sky.

The metaphorical meaning is very obvious.

He Xiuyi could also understand.After being suppressed for four years, he tried almost every means, and finally became famous by himself. It is difficult for outsiders to understand all kinds of bitterness and suffering.

It's just that Long Fei believed in "the power of hard work" too much.

I thought that as long as I worked hard, I could succeed.

His Weibo made the company furious.

The company did not "concede softness", but instead spread the word in the industry - the producers and directors who invited Long Fei to join, would never cooperate with them again, it was obvious that they wanted to establish their own authority.There are so many actors in the world, and no one will insist on Long Fei taking part in it—it's not worth offending a big film and television company for him, so the interested teams withdrew their invitations one after another.

Afterwards, the company picked up a few particularly low-level web dramas for Long Fei, who would feel chills just hearing the names, and took up all of his time.Long Fei had just become famous and couldn't afford the liquidated damages, so he had no choice but to act, and his value immediately dropped, like the [-]th line.

Long Fei scolded the company for protecting the director who likes unspoken rules, but the company seriously denied it, and directly sent a lawyer's letter telling him to stop hyping.Long Fei didn't have any evidence, he would lose the lawsuit, so he didn't dare.

He just became popular and was about to flop.

His company taught him a lesson, allowing him to understand the norms of this circle, this human society, and even this planet and this universe - in the face of the power of the strong, the struggle of the weak is just a dying.They are complacent about a little "victory", but they don't know that the other party can make them see a little light at any time.

While He Xiuyi was thinking about Long Fei, he was busy with the release of "Six Kingdoms".

"Six Kingdoms War", you can't rush to the street, otherwise you will lose the bet, "Star Media" will take another 26% of the shares for free, and the total shareholding will increase to 51%, becoming the largest shareholder of "Yiran" film and television company, with absolute voting rights.

For He Xiuyi's anxiety, Zuo Ran found it cute.

"Don't worry." Zuo Ran said, "This number is very easy."

"Is that so..." He Xiuyi thought: Maybe it's because he cares about it that causes chaos.

"Of course." Zuo Ran gently kissed his big baby, "Don't worry, if I'm not sure, I won't gamble."

When I first started, I needed money very much, but Zuo Ran was also very sober.

What's more, the conditions of "Star Media" are not harsh. "Gambling" is to reduce the risk.No investor wants the other party to lose the bet, because in fact, even if the investor wins, it is often a lose-lose, and when the investor loses, it is often a win-win-if the company you don’t want to invest in makes money, of course why? vote?If the performance of the invested company is not good, it is useless to ask for more shares.
