China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 321 The sexy operation is here, causing a storm in the entertainment industry

"Happy Death Day" and "Go See You Now" were released on the same day?
A head-to-head confrontation between the two leading actresses under Huashang Media?
Boss Li Mu personally promised that whichever of the two new films would have the highest box office in the mainland market would be the first heroine in the company's latest dual-heroine film?The one who still loses is willing to be a green foil?

Netizens are excited. Since ancient times, watching the fun has never been a big deal!

But after just joining in the fun on Weibo, Li Mu quickly regretted it.He just suddenly had such an idea in his mind, and he didn't even have time to think carefully about how feasible it is. For example, as a prize, or as a bait for the movie with two female protagonists, Li Mu actually hasn't Think about it.

When he posted on Weibo, he vaguely had such a movie in mind. It was an American movie, and it was the "Falling" film in the original time and space of 2022.

The movie tells the story of two young hotties who climbed a 610-meter-high abandoned signal tower and were trapped. The plot of the movie has been reversed several times. Although it is not particularly exciting, it is not bad either.

In Li Mu's impression, this movie seems to be a typical low-budget counterattack film. It is said that the cost was only a few million US dollars, but it ended up earning a global box office of up to 7300 million US dollars.

But the problem is that the mainland box office of this film is really not very good, only more than 2600 million US dollars.

This kind of low-budget foreign-batch film with no famous director or actors is actually understandable for its poor box office performance in the mainland. But I don’t know that after replacing the two heroines with Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, who are more familiar to Chinese people, the film will Can it get more recognition and win more box office?

There are some bugs in the plot of "Falling", but it's not a big problem. The company will definitely not let go of a film like this with a small investment and a gimmick, but using it as bait for the infighting between the company's two leading actresses?
It seems that he is still a little unqualified and petty.

After all, Hua Dan does not lack ordinary film resources, but others lack good film resources.

So now Li Mu wants to take it back. However, Yang Mi's "Happy Death Day" and Liu Shishi's "Go See You Now" will be released on the same day. The popularity has soared to this point. How many netizens Even the snacks are ready, and they are just waiting to watch the show. If he withdraws when he says to withdraw, Li Mu can't treat the whole country's audience like monkeys, can he?
However, he still lacks confidence in "Falling". Fortunately, it was just a suggestion from Li Mu himself. He is the boss, but if his artists don't want your role, he can't force them to take it at gunpoint, right?

So he first sent Yang Mi a WeChat message:
"Whoever wins will be the first female lead in a movie with two female protagonists. Actually, I just said it casually. If you just treat it coldly and don't accept the move, netizens will forget about it in a few months."

After a while, Yang Mi replied: "Why do you need to treat it coldly?"

Also ask why?
Li Mu replied: "Tai Gong is too angry, and I don't want to instigate the sisterly relationship between you and Shi Shi."

After a while, Yang Mi sent another OK emoticon.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then sent Liu Shishi a WeChat message with similar content:

"Whoever wins will be the first heroine in a movie with two female protagonists. I just said it casually. You can just treat it coldly and not accept the move. In a few months, netizens will forget about it. I just told Yang Mi that she I also agreed."

This time I waited for a long time, but did not receive a reply. Then Li Mu sent another question mark, and Liu Shishi replied:

"Does the chairman think that I can't play the leading heroine in that dual-heroine movie you mentioned?"

how come?
It's because Li Mu doesn't have a qualified movie with two female protagonists in his mind, right?

"You don't think that since I've already communicated with Yang Mi, I just gave the movie to her privately, right?"

Liu Shishi replied: "No, no, I didn't think so - wait, isn't that really the case?"

"Of course not!" Li Mu added a sweaty expression after finishing his sentence.

Then Liu Shishi replied: "Okay, she has no objection, and I have no objection either."

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. The memory of the Internet is very short. Regardless of the lively commotion among netizens tonight, how many people will still remember this in three to five months?
However, this incident also served as a reminder to Li Mu that in the future, don’t post blindly on Weibo. God knows if you didn’t think carefully enough, you might cause controversy.

……

What Li Mu didn't know was that he had just finished chatting with Yang Mishi, and the two of them had started chatting in private, and neither of them wanted to let it go.

"He said he was afraid of affecting our relationship, so he decided to let it go."

"No matter who loses or wins, no matter who is the green leaf for the two of us, we are still as good as before. Doesn't that count as a feud?"

So regardless of whether it was duplicity or not, the two hit it off immediately. After a while, two messages popped up on Li Mu's WeChat almost at the same time:
"Chairman, Shi Shi (Mimi) and I agree that what you say should count."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he saw the reply, and asked the two of them respectively: "What do you mean?"

"Mimi (Shi Shi) and I unanimously decided to eat the chairman's bait!"

ate?

how to eat?
Are these two going to join forces to rebel?
What do they want to do?
It's okay for the two to accept the challenge, but the key point is that Li Mu really feels that the movie "Falling" is a bit unworthy of the important task of being the bait for two of the company's leading actresses.

Soon Li Mu knew what the two of them wanted to do. After a while, the two of them expressed on Weibo that they accepted the challenge and that no matter what the outcome was, it would never affect their relationship. The two also separated. They liked each other on Weibo and even added emoticons of sisterly love.

Then the Internet went crazy:

"Although it looks like a well-prepared hype by Hua Shang, but how can I put it - two movies starring Hua Dan are competing in the same schedule. The winner will be the first female lead in Hua Shang's new movie, and the loser will be willing to be the co-star. This is very exciting. Feeling good?"

"Even if it's hype, even if it's careful planning, I'm sure I'll get it! At least it's more real than "The Voice," right? At least it's really us netizens who decide who loses and who wins, right? No matter how awesome Hua Shang is, is it possible? Can you still decide whether Yang Mi's "Happy Death Day" has the highest box office or Shi Shi's "Go See You Now"? In the final analysis, the winner or loser of this time is decided by us, the melon-eaters!"

"Don't talk about betting on the first heroine of a Huashang new movie. Others just told me that they wanted to bet on 'If you win, you will be great', and I would go all out to do it!"

For a time, the respective fan groups of Liu Shishi and Yang Mi became even more motivated.

"Sisters, this is the only time so far that fans can decide whether their idols can get good resources and opportunities. I will say this, everyone can follow their conscience!"

"I heard that "I'm Going to Meet You Now" ("Happy Death Day") was well filmed. This time, as long as we help idols promote more and mobilize relatives and friends - to put it more bluntly, if you buy more tickets, then idols will be better Can you get a very good resource, and also have Yang Mi (Liu Shishi) as a partner? This is great, sisters, work hard!"

"Whether it will affect the relationship between sisters is the idol's own business. Whether the idol can win is our business!"

"Come on, sisters, it's really up to us this time!"

……

In the next few days, things began to get worse, and even "Xiu Chun Dao" and "Tiny Times 3", which had nothing to do with winning or losing, were affected. The single-day box office of the two films fell sharply almost at the same time. of grand occasion.

The heroine of "Xiu Chun Knife" is Liu Shishi, and the heroine of "Tiny Times 3" happens to be Yang Mi. Next, on September 9, the two will star in "I'm Going to See You Now" and "Happy Death Day" respectively. The winner is about to be decided, so why not use "Xiu Chun Dao" and "Tiny Times 12" now to test the mobilization ability and cohesion of the fans here?
Well, the fans of the two companies have already made a tacit understanding and fired up in advance. Even Mr. Zhao of CCT Media personally contacted Li Mu to express his admiration. Li Mu's operation of "Tiny Times 3" produced by CCT has also Borrowed the light.

Seeing that things were getting worse, Li Mu had no choice but to seriously evaluate how much box office the "Falling" project could bring. However, what he didn't expect was that the fans of the two companies were at odds again.

First, some people started guessing on the Internet which movie with two female protagonists Li Mu was talking about.

You know, although Li Mu has a lot of film and television resources in his mind, it is impossible for him and his Hua Shang to shoot them all in time. He doesn't have that much time, but it would be a pity not to shoot some movies, so Li Mu has to start from scratch. At the end, great attention was paid to seizing the pit in advance.For example, for very outstanding films, Li Mu would of course take advantage of them in his own name, but for ordinary outstanding films, Li Mu would often write an outline himself and then hand it over to the company's screenwriting department to complete it.

Some of them are exploited in the form of scripts, and some are exploited in the name of novels. This has resulted in many very best-selling novels under Huashang. The author may be a screenwriter in the screenwriting department, but the copyright is completely In the hands of Huashang Company.

So, could the so-called dual-heroine movie that Li Mu mentioned be in these published Huashang novels?

"very possible!"

"Everyone, go read it and guess which novel Li Mu is talking about!"

Hua Shang's novels are often very popular, and many people in the entertainment industry are watching them. These are very good resources.

"It won't be "Assassination Novelist", right?"

"Definitely not. I said it was a two-heroine movie."

"How about "My Girlhood"?"

"Isn't this a two-heroine movie?"

"But don't you think this novel is really suitable for our Shi Shilai to act in?"

"It's really suitable. This novel has sold hundreds of thousands nationwide. Counting piracy, the fan base of this book is already very impressive. Moreover, Shi Shi plays the heroine Lin Zhenxin, and Yang Mi plays the school beauty Tao Minmin - it's simply too suitable!"

"Why do I suddenly feel like you've guessed it right? It's true that the heroine of "My Girlhood" is Lin Tianzhen, but Tao Minmin definitely has a lot of roles. There's nothing wrong with calling it a dual-heroine movie!"

"After what you said, I really feel that Shi Shi is indeed very suitable. I'm afraid that what Li Mu is talking about is not actually this film."

"Let's go and ask Li Mu on Weibo!"

Fans of Liu Shishi here have fallen in love with the IP "My Girlhood", and fans of Yang Mi over there also have a special liking for this novel:
"The person next door has already gone to Li Mu's Weibo to ask if it is "My Girlhood"."

"I really like this novel, and Damimi's performance as Lin Tianzhen is absolutely stunning, and Liu Shishi's performance as the school beauty is also quite appropriate."

"Three years ago I said that Hua Shang should let Damimi play the role in "My Girlhood", but I didn't expect that I was right!"

"It's so funny. Liu Shishi's fans are like they are destined to win. In fact, who doesn't know that Hua Shang obviously pays more attention to Mimi's "Happy Death Day" than "Go See You Now"? Mimi This new film should have certain international market potential."

"Let's go and ask on Li Mu's Weibo to see if he is talking about the novel we guessed!"

"If you ask me, we don't care which work Li Mu started talking about, just ask him to decide on this one!"

……

Li Mu has also been a little confused these days. He was studying the market potential of "Falling" with Liu Siying and Chen Zhixi. Suddenly, his Weibo was invaded by fans of Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, who asked him about his previous After all, the questions and likes for "My Girlhood" are counted in hundreds of thousands.

He didn't even turn this corner for a moment - what does "My Girlhood" have to do with a movie with two heroines?
The box office of this movie was about the same as "20 Again". Li Mu even copied "20 Again", so naturally he would not let this movie go, so he sent out the outline early and asked a girl from the screenwriting department to write it. novel.

I remember that there was some plagiarism controversy when the movie was released in the original time and space, so of course the sooner the novel is published, the better, so as not to cause trouble in the future. Otherwise, Hua Shang can just write the script and be careful to release it before the original movie. Well, it was because this story was a bit controversial later and the sooner it became known to the outside world, the better. This is why the novel version of "My Girlhood" was born a few years early.

Nowadays, "My Girlhood" has many domestic fans. Many book fans have discussed which celebrities are suitable to star in this IP. Fans of many celebrities have also fantasized about their idols starring in the heroine Lin Tianzhen in the novel, so Yang Only fans of Mi and Liu Shishi came to Weibo to ask if it was this book.

So what should Li Mu do?
To clarify to the public that what he was talking about was actually a video that no one had ever heard of, of two girls climbing a 610-meter abandoned iron tower to commit suicide?

Obviously this will be an answer that no one will be satisfied with.

On the other side, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi became excited after learning that the so-called dual-heroine movie Li Mu mentioned was probably "My Girlhood".

As mentioned before, this novel is very popular in the Mainland, so both Yang Mi and Liu Shishi have actually read the original work, and both of them were moved by the novel to the point of bursting into laughter.

A novel that I once cried after reading, a popular IP with countless fans, is now in front of the two of them. As long as the film starring the two of them beats the other in the mainland film market, then they can get this movie that they have already known. The heroine of a dream novel!

When I didn't know the stakes, I wanted to win, but I didn't have to win, but now I feel like I have to go all out.

But before that, it's best to find out whether it is what Li Mu is talking about.

"Is it "My Girls' Generation"? Can you give me an accurate confirmation?" This is the most popular comment on Li Mu's latest Weibo.

Liu Shishi and Yang Mi also sent WeChat to ask Li Mu. Li Mu thought about it after seeing it, then silently eliminated the option of "Falling" and replied to them on WeChat:

"Originally I wanted to leave some suspense, but I didn't expect that netizens were so resourceful and actually guessed it."

After replying to the two of them, Li Mu posted a new Weibo post:
"Netizens are so awesome, they can even guess this one!"

With a buzz, netizens immediately exploded!

"It is indeed it! I'll just say it!"

"Liu Shishi's performance as Lin Tianzhen is absolutely amazing. Forget about Yang Mi, she is so different from the character!"

"Am I the only one who thinks it's too hasty to decide on the heroine so easily? I really like the book "My Girlhood", and I hope the crew can choose the most suitable actor, rather than who will win the leading actress at the box office. to whom!"

"In order for me, Da Mimi, to win the role of Lin Tianzhen, sisters, let's fight!"

Well, this matter has become so popular that it has confused other companies and actors in the entertainment industry - can casting still be done like this?Also, is this the pre-release promotion for "Happy Death Day" and "Going to Meet You Now" or the casting method for "My Girlhood"?

Some netizens said:
"Isn't it just the promotion of the two movies "Happy Death Day" and "I'm Going to Meet You Now"? I haven't seen that the currently popular "Xiu Chun Dao" and "Tiny Times 3" also experienced significant box office reversals because the two fans tested the cohesion. Growth?”

"Is this a way to promote at least five movies?"

"What do you think?"

"Fuck, this operation is so sexy, I almost missed my waist!"
