He was so miserable, he pretended to be [Quick Transmigration]

"Huang Yan, what explanation do you have for the sudden release of "The Language of the Burnt Star"?"

At the end of July, it was the hottest time in the imperial capital, and in the towering office building, the air-conditioning in the conference room was frighteningly freezing.

Prosperity Film and Television, the internal directors' decision-making meeting.

Huang Yan looked at the faces of the major shareholders in front of him with livid faces, and shuddered unconsciously.

"Because...we can't release it after "My Hometown is Deep in the Stars", "Huang Li has no arrogance in the past, and is very humble in front of all the real gold master fathers, "I watched "The Stars" in Baicheng Into a piece, really, you guys believe me."

The vice president of public relations sitting on the side folded his arms on his chest, showing disdain: "You can even put your husband in jail, why should we believe you? Do you know how much money has been added to the company to suppress your husband and wife? Trouble?"

"That's right, this time it cost nearly one million to let such a big team go to Baicheng. Xi Bubai's makeup, hair and clothing costs are almost more expensive than the first-line stars! In the end, I sent a few photos and ended it hastily. If it weren't for us After talking with various PR companies for several days, their marketing account has changed the grand opening of "All Stars"!"

The vice president of data wearing glasses shook his head: "Ms. Huang, you have to know that the originally scheduled mid-August schedule was carefully selected for you by dozens of elites based on the data of previous years and the quality analysis of your films." There are a lot of students in the middle of the summer vacation, and it’s the protection month for domestic films, and everyone is going to release them together. For example, if you choose No. 5, 12 films will be released that day. How can we fight?”

Huang Yan looked anxious, and almost knelt down to everyone: "Really, we can't bump into "All Stars", the quality of that film is beyond our expectation! But I want to release it before him, it's just me I don't know that Han Yi will also raise the file..."

"Hehe, how can there be such a coincidence?" The president sitting in the main seat sneered, "You just said that you are going to raise the file, but before our internal staff finished conveying it, Han Yi's movie was moved up ? Did you make any deal in private?"

"Of course not!" Huang Yan was in a hurry, "You should know that I, Xi Bubai, and Zhang Qijie have all signed a gambling agreement with the investors for this film! If the box office is less than 50 billion, let alone it is my own. If we can’t get back the cost, we still have to use our savings to compensate the investors!”

"Are you the only one who signed the VAM agreement? Didn't our company sign it? Before December [-] this year, if we fail to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as scheduled, the company will pay dozens of times the price to get them from the bank." Buy it back with our financing!"

"Do you know what that number is? Billions! If you lose all your family's money, you can't afford it!"

"You also studied finance, don't you understand the truth?" The chief financial officer directly slapped the table, "We have already lost money in the first two quarters, if we can't make money in the third quarter, what should we do with the report? Don’t even think about going public this year! Don’t say that the company has to pay the bank all the profits of previous years, it’s just the few of us who have equity, which one can escape?”

The president got up and said, "I gave you full authority over the short film for the Autumn Olympics before. What happened? My husband went to jail, and Du Xiaobai, a white-eyed wolf, has become popular. Xingqiongyu, the company gave you [-]% support, but you announced the change of schedule without discussing with other high-level executives?"

The rest of the senior executives complained angrily, and then the president looked at Huang Lin with unsatisfied interest: "Huang Lin! You have worked in the company for seventeen or eight years, and we have spent so many bad things together? But this time, You've got all of our heads tied to your waistband, and we're all dead!"

"I……"

Huang Yan only wanted to understand these things on the plane back to China.

Their company is rushing to go public at the end of the year, otherwise it will go bankrupt and lose all the money to the bank, but this year the whole company seems to have been demoted, and the few films released have lost a lot of money.

Now, it can be said that with the strength of the whole company, they are betting on whether "The Language of the Burnt Star" will be a big hit. The various resources given to Huang Lin are all top-notch, and the cost alone is more than 10 billion.

According to industry management, this means that the box office of this film needs to reach 30 billion to pay back, and to meet the listing requirements, it needs at least 50 billion box office.

Huang Yan was so sure before that his film would win awards and hit the box office all over the world.

But these self-confidence, after watching Han Yi's film, were destroyed in one blow.

However, she had already let the media announce the news of the file upgrade that night, and there was absolutely no possibility that the file would be withdrawn after being set twice.

All the savings of the entire company, Huang Yan and others... It can be said that success or failure depends on one action.

Soon, Huang Yan returned to her usual ruthlessness. She leaned on the back of the chair and suddenly relaxed: "Anyway, the schedule has been set, everyone, do we still have to waste time chasing after me?"

"You—!" The vice president in charge of public relations took a few deep breaths before trying to calm down, "Are you sure that our film will... be uncompetitive when it meets the work of that third-rate screenwriter?"

Huang Yan sneered: "Why did he become a so-called third-rate screenwriter? People outside may not be clear, but everyone here still can't be clear?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

The look of superiority before had changed a few times before he managed to hold back.

Two years ago, the company was still in the sprint stage of its first attempt to go public. Facing the failure of "Kill That Daddy Scumbag", it was not only unable to explain to the public, but also unable to explain to the rest of the shareholders.

Several executives are in high positions, and what they are most afraid of is being questioned about their abilities.

That's why he found a "scapegoat" at Huang Yan's suggestion.

Han Yi, who was the cleanest and least supported by the capital, naturally became the first choice.

"Everyone is engaged in capital operations, so let's not mention the truth, goodness and beauty of art." This time, Huang Yan took the lead to change back to his arrogant appearance, "If Huang is not capable of me in the company, then I have nothing to say Say, but if Huang is in the hands of capitalists who are 'soft-hearted', I'm afraid they will be laughed out of their teeth if it spreads!"

Huang Lin's words before going to Baicheng were not his own thoughts, but the creed flowing in the blood of every executive in this company.

"Don't think that there is art behind commercial films, it's all about business."

So, the president tidied up the crooked tie due to excitement, and put on a smiling face: "Then Xiao Huang, what suggestion do you have?"

"First, block the news that "The Stars" has been highly praised in Baicheng; second, send people to keep a close eye on Han Yi, and report any troubles directly. Attacking him is still the biggest murderous intent in our competition; third, we All executives need to work together with me to fight for the filming of "The Burnt Star."

"it is good."

The first two are routine operations. After all, Fanhua Film and Television has become a big business today. Of course, there have been countless mistakes, but every time it relies on the absolute right to speak in various media to save the day.

It doesn't matter what screenwriter, director, or actor is, this is the biggest capital they rely on for a living.

As for the third item, everyone has been immersed in the film and television industry for many years, so they naturally know the importance of film scheduling.No matter how hyped a movie is in the early stage and how much money is spent on marketing, but only a single-digit percentage of the film is scheduled in a popular schedule, the box office must not be much higher.

The only factor that affects film scheduling is the relationship between the producer and each theater chain. As one of the industry leaders, Fanhua Film and Television has a distribution team of nearly [-] people who are responsible for liaising with each theater chain.

On the other hand, Han Yi, even if they can get investment from non-traditional investment companies, they will definitely not be able to get involved with the arrangement of the film.

In the final analysis, it is still a deep-rooted circle culture.

"Okay, colleagues, we don't have time to pursue responsibility, everyone please show your talents," the president finally made a decision, "Whether we can survive this disaster depends on the relationship between you and the theater!"

The evening of August [-]th.

Han Yi clicked on Maowei.com, which is the largest movie data platform, and the real-time "number of people who want to watch" displayed on it was 25.

And "The Language of the Burnt Star" is 3.

Although everyone in their team tried their best to post the news about the Silver Badger Award on social media, but their scarves always seemed to be restricted by some mysterious force, so people who knew it always stayed in the " "fans" among the audience.

Their positioning seems to be understood by a wider audience as "artistic films" rather than "commercial films", so they have only received little attention.

"Burnt Star Sphere" uses more effective viral marketing, subways, bus stop signs, pre-roll ads, variety shows, etc... a two-pronged approach of local push and online, plus the blessing of several traffic niches, In an instant, he caught everyone's attention with his overwhelming posture.

Han Yi lamented that the money is really not enough when it is used up.

Everyone in their production team worked very hard to save money, and even ate only one meat and three vegetables for lunch, and finally set aside nearly ten million from the already insufficient budget for publicity.

But on such a vast soil as Huaguo, this little money is just a drop in the bucket.

Coupled with the combination of Han Yi, Guilty Lamb and Luo Xiaoda, fans of the original book are mostly on the sidelines. After all, no one wants to spend tens of dollars to go to the cinema to watch the white moonlight in their hearts turn into a pile of shit.

"They didn't even dare to do publicity and order screenings. They must have screwed up the filming!"

"Hehe, it's hard to say, the reason why there is some reaction abroad is because there is a scene with a crooked butt in it!"

"I emphasize again, it is really impossible for Han Yi to understand such profound science fiction!"

"I only hope that Han Yi and the benefactor behind him can hit the street together, the worse the better!"

And these schadenfreude remarks suddenly became popular when the hour hand passed 0 o'clock.

Because after 0 o'clock, Maowei.com gave the schedule information of all the films released that day.

Burnt Star: 61%

Piggy Run: 12%

.......

Deep in the stars is my hometown: 2%

Only two percent!

This means that if each theater decides to play 100 shows a day, only 2 of them will be "All Stars"!

And more than half of them will be "The Language of the Burnt Star"!

This made Han Yi's movie really lose at the starting line.

When the official blog of Fanhua Film and Television released a microblog thanking the theater colleagues for their support, more and more people discovered this exaggerated gap.

"Bad movies should be boycotted!"

This comment was quickly topped the list of hot reviews, and a ten thousand-story building was built underground. From traditional film and television capital to marketing accounts to passers-by, everyone clapped their hands and cheered.

Han Yi turned off the computer, unwilling to read it any more.

He has to wait, he can only wait.

He had already expected the current result, and what he lacked was a gust of wind to win this turnaround.

drip-

He got a text message.

This was not the news he was waiting for, but he was very pleasantly surprised, so he rushed out the door immediately.

In the evening of the next day, while "Speaking of the Burnt Star" created a miracle in the film market that won a box office of [-] million on the first day, a revelation first released by Bagua Dahao also suddenly climbed into the trending searches.

As soon as it was on the list, it was suffixed with the word "explosive".

#Box office failure Han Yi night meeting gold master emotional breakdown#

"I'm a baby gossip: As we all know, Han Yi's movie "My Hometown Is My Hometown" only earned a box office of more than [-] yuan on the first day of its release. He drove alone to a five-star hotel to have a private meeting with the patron, but he did not know what kind of torture he suffered. When he came out in the morning, his eyes were red and swollen. He seemed to have cried all night, and even lost his strength. He almost fell to his knees and couldn’t drive. , I don’t know if you have broken with the gold master?”

In the accompanying video, Han Yi walked out of the hotel alone under the morning light. His body was still thin, but his walking was not as steady as before, and his eyes were red and swollen.

"It was blamed by the gold master, did you cry all night?"

"Who knows, it won't be Ace's love, right?"

"How anxious the benefactor must be, he must see Han Yi at this time hahahaha."

"If I lose so much money, I will die of anger!"

Because the image of Han Yi in the video is indeed too different from his previous high-spirited image, netizens really can't help but speculate in strange directions.

As usual, Han Yi did not respond for a long time.

Mensan is a big V who specializes in movie reviews. August 8th happened to be a weekend, so he asked his girlfriend to go to the theater with him, intending to watch the recently popular "The Burnt Star".

"Honey, why don't we read "The Stars"?" Xiao Ke held Men San's arm, "I've been chasing this book for a long time! I'm still looking forward to it. I heard that it has won awards internationally!"

"What award? It's just the opening film! And I guess it's for the sake of Shi Ran's producer!" Men Thirty was very disdainful, "Otherwise, why didn't the film crew use this to hype it up? It’s all shot, do you still need this little money?”

"Oh...that's great." Xiao Ke blinked, "But "The Burnt Star" has never been scored, and the comments are all controlled by fans. My friends who read it think it is average!"

"That's better than Han Yi's film, isn't "The Stars" also scored? Oh boy, it's hard for us to go out on a date, listen to me, I have to write a studio to shoot a video to catch the popularity of "The Burnt Star" Woolen cloth!"

Compared with people like Men San who believe in their own opinions and make a living by exporting their opinions, Xiao Ke doesn't have any opinions, and often just follows the trend. That's all.

The two walked to the cinema in this way, and suddenly found a banner hanging above it.

[Xibubai. Fans reserve the venue to support "The Language of the Burnt Star"! ]

"Hello?" An ominous premonition arose in Mensan's heart, and he stopped a theater staff, "May I ask Xibubai's fans to take care of everything here?"

"No, there is another hall. The two of you came just in time, and the next show will be broadcast in 10 minutes!"

Mensan let out a long sigh of relief.

He and Xiao Ke usually live one in the east of the city and the other in the west of the city. Although they are both in the imperial capital, it is no different from a long-distance relationship. This time it was hard to meet each other on the weekend, and he didn't want to let the date go to waste.

"Give us two tickets!"

"no problem."

It wasn't until he walked into the theater and sat down that Mensan remembered to look at the title on the movie ticket, and was instantly stunned.

Good guy, he forgot to ask just now. He didn't expect that only 2% of the films were showing "All Stars" in this hall!

How unlucky it is to be bumped into by him in only two out of a hundred games! ?

The two turned their heads, and the big theater was empty except for the two of them.

"Why don't you just watch this, I don't want to go to other theaters anymore," Xiao Ke tentatively asked, "Besides, I think that Luo Xiaoda's acting is quite clever, didn't you like him at that time, said Xia Heng's fans are so clueless that they can even think of such an excuse, and they have been aggrieved for a long time!"

"Eh—" Men San scratched his head, he had high requirements for the film, and he really didn't want to waste time on it.

"Hey, sisters, there's no one here!"

"Hurry up, let's come in quietly!"

"I'll go, there are too many people next door, the aisle is full, it's better to relax here..."

Before Men San could reply, three girls holding support banners suddenly came in from the side door.

Obviously, they wanted to go to the next door to watch a movie, but they stumbled into here by mistake.

"Hello?" A girl with a round face asked Mensan, "Are you also Xibubai's fans?"

Xiao Ke just wanted to answer that you went wrong, but was held down by Men San.

Men San raised his eyebrows at her, showed a smirk, and then shouted back, "That's right, we are sister Xi's fans!"

"Xi Bubai. Fans were tricked into watching "My Hometown Deep in the Stars" reaction award!"

Men San instantly thought of the title of the new self-media video in his mind.

really!God does not deceive me, there is a reason why I was so unlucky to bump into this scene!

Men San suppressed the excitement in his heart, and shouted to the three little sisters: "My leg hurts a little. Since everyone is a fan of Xi Da, can I trouble you to buy us two bottles of water? There are still 5 minutes in the movie." Just started!"

"Oh... no problem!"

The three little sisters had just left the theater when the lights went out.

The movie starts.

Adjust the position of the door and set up the camera.

Xiao Ke tugged at his cuff: "Honey, can you tell me about it if you lie to my little sister like this, but taking pictures of their reactions would infringe the right of portrait right?"

"I have to record the most real reaction first, just like those foreign programs that trick passers-by," Mensan talked about his career, and immediately changed into a serious expression, "And if they don't want to broadcast it later, I will delete them all, trust my professional ethics!"

"Okay..."

Five minutes later, when the three of them came back, they had already missed the opening title and the title, and the picture happened to be a vast universe.

The three looked excitedly, but their expressions became more and more wrong——

"Hey, why is the protagonist called 'Hua'?"

"Maybe the name was changed for the release!"

"Isn't Xida's original work about the construction of an interstellar base? Why does this mean that the planet exploded?"

"Emmmm...Maybe some adjustments have been made?"

"Wait! Isn't this crazy villain the marshal? Isn't this "The Burnt Star" or "The Stars"?"

"Damn, I was cheated, what a bad luck!"

The three fans woke up like a dream, and the subtle expressions of "I was tricked into watching the opposite movie" and "I'm so angry but the front is actually pretty good" were accurately recorded in Mensan's camera.

Men San snickered, he almost didn't watch the first 10 minutes of the movie, he just stared at the camera, and this material is too perfect, it will definitely become a blockbuster!

The three fans have already decided to get up and leave, and Mensan intends to catch up and explain one or two.

Unexpectedly, suddenly, the entire theater was pitch black.

Just when Men San wondered if the screen was broken, the whole screen suddenly showed a dreamy pink-purple color. This pink-purple color was so aggressive that it quickly enveloped the entire cinema hall.

Lightning, thunderstorms, karmic fire... several quick montages flashed by.

——As if enlightened by miracles, what people see at the beginning of life.

The four were instantly attracted by the tension in the rhythm of the shot, and stopped to watch.

In the next second, a dark blue pupil broke the so-called "fourth wall" and looked at all the audience in the theater.

The camera is pulled out, and the owner of the pupil is floating on the brown rocks, like an angel born in troubled times.

And his long blue hair fluttered in the wind, and he gradually came back to his senses, looking at his body.

Following his perspective, the audience also looks at his body.

Not only does it not have the slightest astringency, but it is somewhat sacred.

It wasn't until he gradually accepted and began to breathe that Mensan took a sharp breath.

It turned out that just like the character, he forgot to breathe!

"Is this Luo Xiaoda?" Xiao Ke murmured, "Oh my God, I only knew he was good-looking before, but I didn't expect it to look so amazing now..."

Men San didn't refute Xiao Ke's opinion, but he knew that it was definitely not due to Luo Xiaoda's appearance. Han Yi's choice of shooting angles, lighting arrangement, and even every rippling of the breeze were all to show that the AI ​​summoned the newly obtained body. The holy texture adds too much effect.

This person... this film... is not simple!

So he sat down slowly.

To his surprise, the three behind Xibubai fans who were arguing to leave also sat down.

For the remaining two hours or so, the five of them didn't make a sound, they just watched quietly.

If the quality of the film is excellent, it's okay to say, but when Men San finished watching the subtitles, he was completely stunned.

The tens of thousands of words in the staff list are all handwritten.

He never thought that Han Yi, such a notorious screenwriter, could have such correct and serious handwriting!

The old man always said "writing is like a person", this is not wrong!

And regardless of the handwriting, his behavior of copying every staff member by hand is obviously taking all the staff involved in his heart.Although he is a veteran movie fan, he has never seen any director do this before.

In particular, there is a long row of IDs. It seems that all the people who tipped this work at the beginning flew very quickly because of the large number. He didn't count them in detail, but there were no fewer than tens of thousands!

The surprise Han Yi gave him was too great.

He must post this video tomorrow... no, it must be posted tonight!
