Entertainment Empire

In the second week after "Partners" was released, the movie's popularity continued unabated, with a box office of over 100 million, bringing the total box office of the movie to a gratifying 300 million——

It's definitely not comparable to the first week.

But the first week is indeed when word-of-mouth explodes the most, and the audience is most interested in watching the movie. And the second week is already the eighth day of the Spring Festival, which means that many people have gone to work, and naturally there are no longer so many Time to watch movies.

So it's relative.

Several movies in the same period also encountered a similar situation. The box office in the second week was almost halved. However, adding up the total box office of several movies still seems very bluffing. This makes people in the industry think that the current domestic movie market is The plate expanded.

If I put it before...

If so many big movies collide in the same schedule, it will inevitably end in a bloody blow. In most cases, no one will be lucky. Unlike now, the plate is bigger and the moviegoers are more, so Even if there were four blockbusters, the market barely digested them, and there was no suggestion that any of the films was such a failure that no one cared about them.

Also with the arrival of the second week.

The authoritative magazine "Entertainment Citizen" in the industry interviewed Luo Xun and wanted to do a special feature on the behind-the-scenes story of Luo Xun's filming. At the same time, the first cover of the new year naturally became Luo Xun's bag.

Not just "Entertainment Citizen."

Three of the five major domestic magazines chose Luo Xun as their cover star for the 2010 opening magazines, and most of the magazine interviews triggered a standard that has been hotly discussed in the industry recently -

"The Billion Club."

It was Luo Xun's personal box office exceeding 1 billion that made this concept popular. No one had specifically counted this thing before, but now it has indeed become a new standard for measuring the success of an actor: "The era of big data is coming , the box office says it all.”

Except Luo Xun.

Chen Kexin also accepted an interview, and she praised Luo Xun: "The role he was initially cast for was Meng Xiaojun, but later for some reasons he was cast as Dongqing. Like you, I am not sure whether Luo Xun can interpret it." A country bumpkin felt suspicious. After all, he was so handsome and seemed to be the center of attention by nature. Unlike Cheng Dongqing, he was a country bumpkin, a boy who was a bit cowardly and had low self-esteem. Although he later grew up a lot, at the beginning of the movie, he was indeed For such a person, Luo Xun surprised everyone, including me as a director.”

The reporter was very thoughtful and asked at the right time: "Do you think Luo Xun will be one of the best young actors in the mainland in the future? What heights can he reach in the future?"

"The best actor in the Mainland?"

Chen Kexin said with a smile: "You should say that he is now the best young actor in the country. As far as I know, in Xiangjiang where talent is close to falling apart, there are few people in the younger generation who can compare with Luo Xun. Gu Tianle and others Not bad, but it is indeed much bigger than Luo Xun. Of course, there are many reasons for this situation. I don’t want to go into too much detail about this aspect. As for the future, I think it is better to leave it in suspense. "

"Then what do you want to say about Luo Xun entering the billion club?"

"Luo Xun is a lucky star at the box office. "Kung Fu" and "Slaying the Wolf 2" are all Hong Kong movies, and Luo Xun's roles are all supporting roles. But with him as a supporting role in the movie, it seems that it will easily become a hit, haha. Of course, I will do it again in the future. It’s not easy to find Luo Xun to play a supporting role. Maybe I started it and I can never go back.”

The reporter laughs.

After the interview came out, there were more compliments surrounding Luo Xun. Faced with all kinds of rainbow farts, Luo Xun deeply realized why many actors make mistakes during their peak years——

This feeling is so inflated.

Previously, "Slaying the Wolf 2" soared higher, but no matter how brilliant Luo Xun was in that movie, it could not change the fact that he was just a supporting role, so the feeling was not that obvious, but this time it was too obvious.

People will expand!

Cameron said that he was the "King of the World" after becoming a god in the movie. It was so inflated, but people really praised him. Luo Xun felt that he had not reached the point of inflating yet, so when he faced the flowers and praises from all directions, he said over and over again Remind yourself to calm down, you still have a long way to go——

Pour cold water on yourself.

The effect was good. He actually calmed down. Not only was he not bloated, but he was feeling depressed because the Spring Festival holiday was over and the employees of the company returned to work. There was a lot of official work piled up during the holiday that had to be handled by the boss Luo Xun. , I have no intention of thinking about anything else.

It took three days.

After finally solving the piled-up official duties, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Kong Shuang entered the office and told him that the company had two TV series ready to be filmed, one was "Celebrating More Than Years" and the other was "Tomb Raiders Notes".

Luo Xun nodded.

Then Kong Shuang said again: "Recently, there have been more and more movie appointments for you, so I have raised the bar. From now on, your salary for making movies will be 10 million. Unless you personally like it very much and are willing to lower yourself, otherwise this is This will be our standard in the future.”

"Ten million..."

Luo Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Then ten million. As for the TV series, just block it for me first. I also have an official drama appointment, so I have to make time for it."

"OK."

Kong Shuang kept his responsibility as an agent in mind and talked about the third thing: "This time "Partners" is a big hit, more advertisers are looking for you. I suggest you fill up the remaining spots. What do you think?"

"Then take it."

The so-called remaining quota is the rule Luo Xun set for himself before. He can only have ten endorsements at the same time. On this basis, he will never accept the eleventh endorsement. If a new brand comes to him, he can only Queuing up behind——

Luo Xun wants to ensure its brand value.

It is precisely because of Luo Xun's method that he is now the most valuable male artist in Chinese advertising. His influence in the brand circle can be said to be second to none, and almost no one can match it. Otherwise, the five major magazines would not follow him frequently. He made appointments for covers and stuff like that.

The top five magazines select candidates based on more than just celebrity popularity.

If compared with his influence in the fashion circle, Luo Xun lags behind other male stars, although it is ironic that Luo Xun does not know where his fashion lies.

"One last thing."

Kong Shuang smiled and said: "'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate' will definitely be released in this summer's season. Mr. Xu wants to take advantage of your popularity and ask you to repost the movie trailer on Weibo tonight."

"The trailer is out?"

"No way, it's just some behind-the-scenes footage and some already formed shots. It's said that it took two weeks to piece together in the post-production process. It's all because you're popular, so I want to take advantage of your limelight."

"OK."

Luo Xun nodded.

The entertainment industry is like this. When it becomes popular, it will trigger various chain reactions. If you want to take advantage of your popularity in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", let him take advantage of it. After all, it is also your own movie, and besides, you are the second male lead in this movie. .
