MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 140 The first 40 days of being popular
When mentioning the content of Yao Bianliang's movie, the assistant's expression was a little strange.
"According to the information obtained so far, she plans to film... The Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Dong Lu and the two were taken aback.
Shan Hai Jing? This subject is a bottomless pit.
If you want the quality of the whole movie to be good, you need to invest a huge amount of money, not to mention earning box office, maybe even the cost cannot be recovered;
And if the funds are tight and the work is not done well enough, it is very likely that the book of mountains and seas will be ruined.
When the public sees Shan Hai Jing with five cents special effects, why not scold the crew to death?
No matter how you look at it, this is an impossible project.
Lu Yanchen pondered for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Maybe... we can spread this news."
Dong Lu was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to look over, and frowned slightly: "Spread it out?"
Isn't this rushing to help Yao Bianliang promote the new movie!
They and Yao Bianliang are already in an endless situation, and at this time they are helping Yao Bianliang to spread the news of the new movie, that is water in the head.
Lu Yanchen: "The reason why the public is so angry, apart from the scandal of the PK competition of the good drama, is also a large part of the reason is because Yao Bianliang announced his temporary retirement."
"If we let them know that Yao Bianliang's temporary resignation is not because of the Lu Group, but because the filming of new movies is closed...Perhaps, the public opinion will be relieved."
The behavior of Yao Bianliang before, to put it bluntly, was touching porcelain.
In any case, at least, the black material that Yao Bianliang planted on them must be washed away.
Director Lu sneered: "You think it's that simple?"
If it was a few days ago that the black material of the good drama PK match had not been exposed, then they could indeed adopt this method.
This not only cleared the suspicion of the Lu Group, but also diverted the public's attention and successfully survived this crisis.
However, when the matter developed to the present, it was not only the question of Yao Bianliang's temporary retreat.
As the black material of the PK game of the good drama was exposed, the public opinion intensified, and some official media even criticized them by name.
Director Lu has been working **** this matter for the past few days, but with little success.
Maybe it won't be long before the good drama PK match will be suspended or even taken off the shelves, and the Lu Group's stock price will inevitably continue to decline.
In this case, the matter of Yao Bianliang's temporary withdrawal is no longer the core of the incident, but the fuse of the whole incident.
No matter how hard they try to clarify, it won't help!
Director Lu took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Thinking about it... Yao Bianliang has already planned these things from the beginning."
She used her closed filming skills to release smoke bombs, making the public mistakenly think that the Lu Group forced her to quit the circle.
— This method of touching porcelain is indeed very effective, but with Lu's ability, he will definitely be able to quickly investigate the cause and effect.
After they, Mrs. Lu, learned that Yao Bianliang was actually just going to close the shoot, this "touching porcelain" behavior would have no effect.
Can Yao Bianliang not know this?
With her intelligence and talent, she can definitely guess that the Lu Corporation will investigate her.
Therefore, she did not put her chips on the point of "temporarily retiring" from the beginning.
Temporarily retiring from the entertainment industry is just a fuse, a fuse that ignites the scandal of the PK match of a good drama.
When the scandal about the Lu family is completely detonated, the public opinion will inevitably intensify—as for whether Yao Bianliang's temporary retirement is because of the Lu family, it doesn't seem so important anymore!
The plan is linked to each other, drip-tight, and does not give anyone any possibility of counterattack.
At this moment, Dong Lu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Lu Yanchen frowned: "Anyway, at least it's better than sitting still and waiting to die."
"Moreover, the stock price cannot keep falling, but when we recover, it will be time to make a comeback."
Director Lu closed his eyes: "Haven't you seen it? Yao Bianliang also knows that even if the government restricts variety shows and traffic stars, it is impossible for Lu's to go bankrupt so quickly."
"She did it...mainly for Hudi's entertainment."
The Lu family has dominated the entertainment industry for many years, supporting the entire traffic empire. With the reversal of the situation, the dynasty started by the Lu family is now in jeopardy.
But if that's all, it's impossible for Lu's to go bankrupt.
Yao Bianliang also knew that it was impossible for such a giant to fall down so easily. It will take time for Lu's to completely lose the market.
And the Hudi Entertainment Studio is the last gift she prepared for Mr. Lu.
When Hudi Entertainment grows rapidly and gradually encroaches on Lu's domain, then the Lu's Group's fortunes will come to an end!
Lu Yanchen pursed his lips tightly and his face was terribly dark: "Impossible, Hudi Entertainment's model is impossible to make money! They won't develop for long."
He paused: "Not to mention anything else, the variety show "Actors Training Camp" alone can explain the problem."
"Actors Training Camp" seems to be held in full swing, but in fact, when it comes to profitability, it is not even comparable to the already cold "Good Drama PK Competition".
All of Yao Bianliang's projects have been well received, but no matter how many positive reviews there are, they can't be eaten as food.
If you can't make money, you should go bankrupt or you have to go bankrupt!
"ding dong"
The phone screen lit up, and Dong Lu frowned slightly, realizing that it was a voice call from an executive.
During this period of time, the executive has been trying to contact the people above, calling at this time must be something urgent.
Director Lu did not hesitate, and directly clicked to connect.
What did the person on the other end of the phone say, and Dong Lu's face completely sank.
"What did you say? Because of the scandal of the PK match of a good drama, the authorities have drawn attention... Will all the shooting of variety shows in the future be restricted?"
Lu Yanchen's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling came to his heart.
He immediately turned on his phone to search for the latest news.
The assistant couldn't help but said: "Fans vote on charts, falsify sales data... These behaviors are all not allowed, so which variety show can survive?"
These days, there are only so many ways to make money in variety shows, and there is no variety show in the talent show that can refuse to vote for the list.
In other words, as soon as this rule comes out, all talent show variety shows will be suspended and taken off the shelves. As for those variety shows that are still in preparation, it is even worse, facing the fate of dying.
All the variety shows in the country are going to be cool!
"No, maybe, there is another variety show that can survive..." Lu Yanchen said with an ugly face, "Hudi Entertainment's actor training camp."
…
Within a few days, the restriction order on variety shows finally came out.
It was a blockbuster look, and the entire internet was buzzing about it.
At the same time, the news that Yao Bianliang was filming a new movie in a closed environment also broke out.
[Good job! Voting in variety shows in the draft should have been stopped a long time ago. 】
[Stop the behavior of cutting rice circles and leeks, some capital really don't want face. 】
[So... Sister Liang's temporary retirement from the entertainment industry is not because of the Lu Group's targeting, but because of the new movie? 】
[That's not necessarily the case. I think there are two factors. In order to avoid the Lu Group's targeting, that's why I decided to close the filming. 】
[As long as Sister Liang doesn't quit the circle completely, I'll be at ease! Looking forward to the new movie. 】
[It is said that this time it is also a national style movie, and it is still a big production. I've been looking forward to it. 】
These two heavy news spread not only on the Internet, but also in the circle of industry insiders.
Everyone is talking about Yao Bianliang, Hudi Entertainment Studio, and the future direction of the entertainment industry.
With the introduction of relevant policies and the rise of Hudi Entertainment—there is no doubt that domestic entertainment will undergo a major reshuffle!
Since the environment cannot be changed, it can only be accepted.
Whether it is actors, directors, or other people in the industry, they are all working hard to prepare for the changes that may occur in the future.
…
Hu Yi Investment Studio.
"Everyone, what is vision and pattern? This is called vision and pattern!"
In front of the conference table, the investor Mr. Hu pointed at the words on the PPT with his eyes shining.
"At the beginning, when the actor training camp was broadcast, the industry was not optimistic about this project. The result? This project not only gained excellent reputation, but also exploded in popularity."
"When we all thought that this project could only have a good reputation and not be profitable, it once again achieved a counterattack."
"Now, the Actors Training Camp may become the only variety show left in the country! When they film the second and third seasons, countless advertisers will flock to this variety show—I'll ask everyone, who Do you still feel that this project can’t make money?”
"Similar to this variety show project, Hudi Entertainment Studio is also facing the same situation."
"It's obvious that the higher-ups have paid attention to the chaos of domestic entertainment and decided to take action to rectify it. Just wait, it won't be long, those entertainment companies that rely on traffic stars and bad dramas to make money will not survive long."
"Only Hudi Entertainment Studio, it can always exist - even, in the future, it will usher in a new era for internal entertainment."
Hu Yi's statement was impassioned and his eyes sparkled.
The employees in the audience nodded, but some couldn't help but said, "So? Boss, what does this have to do with us?"
No matter how much money Yao Bianliang made, it belonged to others, and it was impossible for the money to fall into their pockets.
As for learning...
Forget it then.
Yao Bianliang can take a slanted sword every time, this method is only suitable for a chosen daughter like her. As for ordinary people, it is impossible to learn at all.
Hu took a look at him and rolled his eyes: "Why doesn't it matter? It's a big deal!"
"Brothers, this is an outlet and an excellent opportunity for us to invest."
He looked at everyone: "Do you think that Yao Bianliang's project can become popular every time, is it really all due to luck?"
The others were taken aback when they heard the words, and then shook their heads.
Nonsense, but any normal person knows that this kind of thing can no longer be explained by the word "luck".
Obviously, Yao Bianliang has a very unique vision both in terms of project quality and business.
From TV dramas, movies, to variety shows, to entertainment companies—
Yao Bianliang's every step was beyond everyone's expectation, but she happened to succeed time and time again.
This must be such a powerful courage, a decisive wrist, and a sinister vision.
Mr. Hu glanced at everyone's expressions, and showed a smile: "Obviously, Yao Bianliang's project has never lost money. Follow Yao Bianliang, and you will have meat to eat!"
"And now, Yao Bianliang is preparing a big new movie..."
When everyone heard the words, their eyes finally lit up.
Yes, if you invest in Yao Bianliang's project, you can make money 99% of the time.
Their company originally specialized in investing in entertainment projects and had extensive connections.
As long as the contacts match up and find the crew of Yao Bianliang's new movie, wouldn't they be able to invest?
At that time, they will be able to lie down and make money with Yao Bianliang!
"It's just that Yao Bianliang is currently undergoing closed filming, how can we contact her?" Someone hesitated.
Yao Bianliang has always been very low-key in the circle, and rarely attends parties. Actually, not many people know her.
It was even more difficult to contact her.
Vice President Huang, who was sitting on the other side, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I have some friendship with Assistant Chen from Hudi Entertainment. Let me ask about the situation first."
Hu Yi's studio was the first to start looking for news, but it won't be the only one.
It is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity for internal entertainment to start to reshuffle.
Some people will plummet because of this, and they will never be able to stand up again; but some people can take advantage of this opportunity to ride the wind and reach new heights.
Now is the time to compete in vision and strength.
…
The external situation is changing, and the entire domestic society is in turmoil.
However, the crew of "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" far away in the jungle knew nothing about the outside world at this time, and the crew was peaceful.
After finishing the day's shooting, everyone sat on the floor in twos and threes, eating boxed lunches.
"Oh, I can finally rest today."
"It's been such a tough life without the internet, I don't think I can take it anymore."
"Be patient, it's just like filming in the wild mountains and forests, it's no different from being isolated from the world."
Everyone chatted while eating.
The work of shooting in the wild is very hard. For them, only cooking can make people feel relaxed and happy for a long time.
Yao Bianliang was also cooking, and besides that, she also watched the recent new scenes.
The filming of the scene went smoothly, but because there is no post-production, the current behind-the-scenes footage is simply unwatchable.
As for what can be done after post-production, Yao Bianliang is actually not very clear.
but…
They don't have enough money, and in this case, post-production will definitely be stretched.
Yao Bianliang reckoned that the final effect would definitely be better than the domestic 50 cents special effects, but compared with international blockbusters, there must still be a big gap.
In this way, the possibility of completing the task is very high.
The system couldn't help but said: "Host, how are you sure that the total investment is only one billion yuan? What if the post-production funds are not enough, and the crew brings in new investment?"
Yao Bianliang didn't care.
"System, you don't think it's easy to attract investment, do you?" She was a little helpless, "Most investors keep a respectful distance from the subject of Shan Hai Jing."
"When we finish filming in two years, my reputation will definitely drop a lot. At that time, no investors will be willing to take a look at it."
If you want to improve the quality of the entire movie, you need at least several hundred million in investment.
However, no one knows whether "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" will become popular or rush.
Which investor has the guts to pour hundreds of millions into a project with an uncertain future?
not to mention...
They are now hiding in the deep mountains and forests to shoot secretly. There is no surveillance, no network, no signal. People in the entertainment industry don't even know that there is such a movie.
In this case, it is impossible for a bunch of investments to fall from the sky, right?
