My idol is myself

Chapter 177 Follow the trend 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

"At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, half of the friends are scattered, a pot of dirty wine is full of joy, the setting sun is beyond the mountains."

In the white horse train, the three are singing to their heart's content, especially Ma Bonde, played by Ge You, is full of vigor and vigor, dressed in white, like a romantic gentleman.

The three of them are Ma Bangde, the county magistrate who is about to take office, the magistrate's wife, and Mr. Tang. The three of them have been eating hot pot and singing songs.

"Good! Good!"

Mr. Tang put the chopsticks in his hand to his mouth, and clapped his hands non-stop. His appearance was indescribably funny, but obviously Ma Bangde was used to such flattery, so he started to make fun of his master.

"Master Tang, is it delicious or pleasant to hear?"

"It sounds good, it tastes good, it's good, it's good."

The master appeared to be extremely smooth, and he was easy to handle such things as flattery. The rainbow farts were released uninterruptedly, making Ma Bangde laugh out loud.

"Hahahaha, I, Ma, traveled all over the world, relying on my literary and military skills. I am different. I not only eat, drink and have fun, but also need snow, moon and wind."

"The magistrate's demeanor is just like, big ~ the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!"

"fart!"

Facing the flattering words of the master, the county magistrate's wife couldn't help laughing and scolding. Ma Bangde who was on the side didn't seem to understand the multiple meanings in the county magistrate's wife's words, so he blurted out a sentence.

"Liu Bang is a villain!"

"Strengthening the mountain and the air is unparalleled!"

"fart!"

The county magistrate's wife still had a charming smile, which was not embarrassing for the master. Ma Bangde, who was on the side, saw the master was deflated, and began to make fun of him.

"If you want to shoot my horse, you have to pass the madam first, write a poem, write a poem."

"There must be wind, and there must be flesh."

"There must be hot pot, and there must be fog."

"Let there be a beautiful daughter and a donkey."

After saying the request for this poem, the three of them laughed heartily, not even noticing that a group of gangsters were staring at them on the mountain not far away.

The camera quickly turned to the mountain, and under the rapid movement of both hands, gunshots rang out one after another, and then the scene changed, and Zhang Mazi played by Jiang Wen appeared.

He put away his gun, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at the train down the mountain, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and the six children beside him looked at Zhang Mazi beside him in puzzlement.

"Missed?"

"Let the bullet fly for a while."

Before Zhang Mazi finished speaking, the rope connecting the white horse to the train broke. The bandits on the mountain moved in response and began to hunt the train below, and the atmosphere became excited.

After the train rolled over, everyone in the car died, leaving only Mabond and the county magistrate's wife who fell into the water. However, the bandits did not find any money, so they were ready to settle the score with anyone alive.

So Mabondang pretended to be a master in order to survive, so he shied away and said that all the money was used to buy an official position, and he could only have money in Echeng. When Zhang Mazi heard that no one knew what the county magistrate looked like, he hatched a plan and wanted to take him with him The master and his wife pretended to be county magistrates and took office in Goose City.

"Cut! All departments take a break."

The first small plot at the beginning of the film ended here. Following Xu Wenruo's order, the staff also began to take advantage of the break time to rearrange the scene.

Ge You changed into dry clothes. He felt uncomfortable running in the water just now. However, Jiang Wen did not go to rest after the performance, but came to Xu Wenruo carelessly.

"Director Xu, how was my performance just now, do you have any advice?"

If you didn't know better, you would have thought that he was here specifically to provoke Xu Wenruo. Ge You, who had finished changing his clothes, continued to come to the two of them to watch the fun, and seemed to be very concerned about Xu Wenruo and Jiang Wen.

"It's very good, the acting is full of gangsters, but I like Teacher Ge's play, it's very flavorful."

Jiang Wen looked back at Ge You, and then looked at Xu Wenruo with a hint of surprise.

"Award after award, maybe I'm more suitable for this role."

Ge You cupped his hands at Xu Wenruo with an extremely humble expression. He never expected that the topic could be shifted to him when he was just watching the fun from the sidelines.

"The master is indeed very good, and I like the master very much, Director Xu, do you think it is appropriate for us to act like this?"

Jiang Wen's tone still seemed a bit aggressive, but Xu Wenruo still looked unconcerned. He looked at the expressionless Jiang Wen and suddenly smiled.

"It's suitable, just act like this, no problem."

Jiang Wen stared at Xu Wenruo, and when he heard his answer, and saw the smile on Xu Wenruo's face, a smile appeared on Jiang Wen's face.

Ge You on the side had a thoughtful look on his face, but he remained calm. After changing his costume, the crew began to record the next scene, but this time it was time to go to the newly built film and television base in the film and television base. Goose City is gone.

While Xu Wenruo was concentrating on making movies, many comedy movies were released during this period, some of which were really good, the creative team worked hard to make jokes, the shots were good, and they made a lot of money at the box office.

But most of the companies are really doing the same thing. They want to make money from comedy movies but they don’t have the heart to make movies at all. They think that it’s the same as before, invite some traffic stars, and then copy two jokes from the Internet to make a good movie.

Any company with such an idea will lose everything. In October, countless comedy movies emerged, but only two or three of them could enter the audience's eyes, and most of them were bad movies. , it's not worth watching at all.

Among them is a movie shot by Xingxun Group. They have high expectations for this movie. As a film and television company, Xingxun Pictures also has experience in making movies before. Coupled with the success of the past two years, many people have The mentality has drifted, so they also came up with a comedy movie.

According to Xu Wenruo's creative ideas, they absorbed the experience of "A Chinese Journey to the West" and focused their attention on Journey to the West. They modified the three dozen bones that Xu Wenruo adapted on variety shows before, and added some jokes to make it into a movie. .

This movie called "A Chinese Journey to the West" even had to be called "A Chinese Journey to the West" on the promotional poster, just to get some buzz in the publicity, and use the name of the sequel of "A Chinese Journey to the West" as a swindle.

Of course, they didn't mention Xu Wenruo's name in it, which is an obvious infringement, but these propaganda departments are professional in how to play a side-ball.

Many marketing accounts and self-media who received the public relations fee of Xingxun Pictures immediately published articles. First, they praised Xu Wenruo's "A Chinese Journey to the West" to trick the audience into it. , Many uninformed viewers thought this movie was a sequel to "A Chinese Journey to the West".

After all, Xingxun Pictures, as the company responsible for publicity and distribution at the beginning, still had their company logo on the movie poster, so after hearing about this movie, many people prepared to go to the cinema to see it. The audience wanted to see it. What I saw was the follow-up story of Zhizunbao and Bai Jingjing, but it was only when I went to the movie theater that I realized that this was not the case at all.

There is no Supreme Treasure and Bai Jingjing at all, only the story of Monkey King and the Bone Demon flirting, and even Tang Seng joined in.

This bad movie immediately aroused heated discussions on the Internet, and Xingxun Pictures was also reviled by many viewers. Their company had a good reputation before. Before cooperating with Xu Wenruo, although they invested and filmed some low-cost movies Although the quality of the movie varies, it is quite thoughtful.

After cooperating with Xu Wenruo, Xingxun Pictures has become a well-known company in the industry. Many viewers also think it is a very conscientious company, but they did not expect to be fooled this time and were tricked into the cinema and fed a piece of shit. .

"Damn, my eyes, what kind of movie is this? My whole body collapsed when I saw half of it."

"Brothers who haven't watched it yet, don't join in the fun. This is an epic, bad movie. It's not a sequel to "Westward Journey" at all. It's just a scam to make money based on its name."

"Xingxun Films, right? I remember you. I thought it was Xu Wenruo's latest movie. I didn't expect to go in and have a look. It has nothing to do with him. That's fine. The key is that the quality of the movie is terrible. It's a pile of shit, I'm about to vomit."

"Friendly reminder, in the past few months, you must choose carefully any comedy movies you see, there are too many bad movies."

"These companies that follow the trend without thinking really have no reputation at all. Seeing that Xu Wenruo has made a lot of money from comedy movies, they flocked in one after another. But if you want to make money, the quality of the films must pass the standard. But what are these films? Do you dare to show this stuff?"

"It's crazy, I watched three movies this month, and all three were bad movies. You know how I spent this month. I miss Xu Wenruo very much now."

"Indeed, many people thought that comedies became popular, so they chose to follow up, but what they didn't think was that Xu Wenruo was really popular. His movies are real comedies. I would like to call them the king of comedies."

Xu Wenruo never imagined that only one month later, the audience would start to miss him because of too many bad movies released recently. Sure enough, the world is so crazy that mice are all cats as bridesmaids.

Facing the abusive voices on the Internet, all members of Xingxun Films were helpless. They were full of confidence in this movie, thinking that they were about to make a lot of money, and some people even boasted that they would break Xu Wenruo's box office record. That's the case with Cinderella's box office record of 48 billion.

But the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny. Their dreams have hit the rocks and sunk before they even set sail. One week after the show, the box office of "Bones" is only [-] million, of which more than [-] million are from the previous two days. At the box office, many viewers were fooled into the movie theater by them and contributed movie tickets in vain.

According to the box office share, they can also receive close to [-] million yuan in revenue. The cost of this movie is less than [-] million yuan. Logically speaking, they still made some money, but no one in Star Information Films can laugh out.

I made a small amount of money, but the reputation of the entire company has collapsed. You must know that for a company as large as Starcom Group, word of mouth is far more important than income. A fund of [-] million or [-] million is just a drop in the bucket for the entire giant of Starcom Group. , but word of mouth is extremely precious.

But now the word-of-mouth of Xingxun Pictures is gone. Originally, they hoped to rely on this movie to make a good comeback and wash away the stereotype that they relied on Xu Wenruo to succeed in one fell swoop, but now everything is gone. It feels like going back to pre-liberation overnight.

But in the face of this situation, the people who had been clamoring before were completely silent. In the departmental meeting of Xingxun Films, everyone looked at Mr. Wang sitting in the middle, hoping that he would come out and come up with an idea.

At this time, they remembered that Mr. Wang is the top leader of Xingxun Films, but they turned a deaf ear to Mr. Wang's suggestion to build a good relationship with Xu Wenruo. Now when they encounter difficulties, they change their faces. Much uglier than imagined.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Mr. Wang at this time has no choice. For some people who suggested to find Xu Wenruo to cooperate again, Mr. Wang wanted to point his nose and scold him: If I knew this, why did you go there? !
Mr. Wang is still aware of Xu Wenruo's recent movements. He knows that Fengqi Studio is cooperating with China Film Group to make a movie recently, and now he has no time and no interest in continuing to cooperate with Xingxun Films.

Thinking of this, a clip flashed through Mr. Wang's mind. It was at the premiere of the movie. He was sitting behind Xu Wenruo and watched the protagonist Zhi Zunbao say that very classic sentence.

"There was once a sincere relationship in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I didn't regret it until I lost it."

Mr. Wang now feels the same way about this sentence. He now understands why "Westward Journey" is a classic movie, but for Xingxun Pictures, the price is too high.

Xu Wenruo didn't know much about the situation of Xingxun Films, but there was one person who had lingering fears after seeing the end of Xingxun Pictures. This person was Lao Liu from Xingxun Video. It is very likely that Ye Ye had a little conflict with Fengqi's studio, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

Lao Liu knew in his heart that Xingxun Films really failed this time. Not only was all the achievements made by Xu Wenruo this year in vain, but even the previous foundation was completely lost. It will definitely not be slowed down in a few years. , this price is too high for a company.

Lao Liu was very sympathetic to what happened to Xingxun Pictures, and at the same time, his thoughts became more firm, that is, we must have a good relationship with Xu Wenruo, and being Xu Wenruo's friend is really important. For the script of "Old Nine Gates", Lao Liu felt much more at ease.
