That year Huayu

Since the premiere of "Warring States", Starlight has once again stepped up its promotional efforts.

The shadow of this movie is everywhere in the media and in theaters.

Finally, the time came for the release.

On the portal, a headline appeared very early: ""Warring States" will be officially released today."

"The popular young actress Jingtian plays the role of Tian Xi, a female general who is capable of both literary and military skills in "Warring States"!"

"The special effects of "Warring States" are stunning and not to be missed."

"As the top special effects company in China, Tiangong Colors provided unparalleled special effects support for "Warring States"..."

…………

The publicity reports on the Internet are very good, which really attracts a large number of audiences to the theater.

Many of the guests who attended the premiere that day were also paying attention to the first-day box office of "Warring States".

After all, this movie does seem to be a bit incomprehensible.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were also curious about the data on the first day.

He heard that the number of films arranged by Wanda was quite high.

The next morning, the box office data of "Warring States" appeared on the portal.

17.5 million!

Lin Nan didn't feel surprised when he saw this good number, because it was the first day after all.

But the Internet has been completely noisy.

"I've watched "The Promise", "The Golden Armor", "The Night Banquet"... and "Warring States"! Oh my god..."

"What the hell did I do? Damn it!"

"It's indescribable, it's rotten to the core."

"The lines in the script are simply idiotic and disgusting..."

"The director has a serious lack of historical knowledge, the screenwriter has not graduated from elementary school, and the actors are all awkward..."

"This comedy is actually pretty good..."

…………

A large number of negative reviews and ridicules appeared on the Weibo of "Warring States", and they are increasing rapidly.

The few good reviews are a bit conspicuous.

"There are no special effects to say the least. Director Lin tried his best with his heavenly colors, but he still can't carry this movie..."

"Every scene of Jingtian is beautiful! But her acting skills really can't support the heroine.

And the director and production team we found are really rubbish..."

…………

Lu Zheng was also paying attention to the comments from the outside world at this moment, and his face turned gloomy.

Jing Tian on the side was also panicked and didn't know what to do.

She never thought she would mess up the movie. Although this cannot be blamed on any one person.

"This is just the first day, wait and see in a few more days..."

Lu Zheng glanced at Jing Tian, ​​forced a smile, and comforted her.

The next day's box office dropped by more than three million, to 14.2 million.

On the third day, it dropped another two million yuan and closed at 10.8 million yuan.

Outside the world, the reputation of "Warring States" is on the verge of collapse.

As a production company, Starlight "explained" several times, to no avail.

Sun Honglei, Jing Tian, ​​Wu Zhenyu, Jiang Wu...

All the leading actors were spared and became the targets of scolding.

The wording has no bottom line and dirty language...

A few of those directors who regretted not seizing the opportunity to direct "Warring States" now feel like they are surviving a disaster.

…………

As Lin Nan expected, he and Ning Hao were also involved.

"I'm very lucky that Director Lin and Director Ning Hao didn't take on this drama, otherwise..."

"It's hard to say. If Director Lin came in person and could change the script, the result would definitely not be like this!"

"Upstairs, I have to replace Liu Yifei as the heroine..."

…

On the fourth day, the box office of "Warring States" dropped directly to 8.44 million.

The entire film industry understands that this, the only big-budget movie in April, is doomed to suffer heavy losses.

The ridicule and abuse of the movie on the Internet has become more and more intense, and there is even a faint trend of online violence against individual actors.

At this time, the media began to contact the leading actors for individual interviews and interviews.

Sun Honglei behaved relatively rationally.

"Before it was released, I only watched the sample film, and I gave myself a 40-point score. After watching the finished film, I gave myself a 20-point score.

Not long after the filming started, I gave some of my own opinions to the crew and participated in the design of "Sun Bin" that everyone sees now. Of course, it turned out that I was the one who ruined the role, haha..."

"This is the situation in movies now. To be honest, I can't blame anyone.

If we are really responsible, it's the whole project's fault. Maybe the direction was wrong when we started shooting. "

…………

Wu Zhenyu was also very manly and didn't say anything to blame.

Jing Tian accepted the interview in a haggard state. It seemed that he was seriously affected by the comments on the Internet.

Something surprising happened.

Lin Nan never expected that the first actor to have a verbal dispute with the crew would be Jiang Wu.

The latter criticized the director and production team of "Warring States" by name in front of the media.

Frankly speaking, the director cut out a large number of his scenes, including the "best" parts, leaving only indifferent scenes. This is a very stupid behavior!

The director responded immediately and signed a 30-day contract. Jiang Wu only came for 7 days, and came in 5 times. This disrupted the filming rhythm of many other actors...

Less than a week after the movie was released, the crew started fighting among themselves, and it immediately became a big joke in the industry.

The box office on the fifth day was 6.55 million;

On the sixth day, it closed at 4.15 million.

So far, "Warring States" has been in theaters for 6 days, and the first weekend box office revenue was 61.64 million.

Compared with its huge investment cost, this data is simply a shame.

But even so, the first weekend's score of 61.64 million is still the weekly box office champion in the past two months.

The sluggishness of the film market is evident.

The crew of "Guan Yunchang" is a bit of a thieves, and now they jumped out and stepped on "Warring States".

"Adaptation cannot be without 'sides', the historical blockbuster "Guan Yunchang" is about to be released!"

This sudden extra slogan is a naked statement about the most criticized criticism of "Warring States", which is "ignoring history and making random changes."

The scolding of Jing Tian on the Internet has not decreased, but has increased. There are all kinds of unpleasant content...

This reminded Liu Yifei again of her past experiences, the rumors and gossip about herself.

"She's a bit like me back then."

"It was much worse than this at that time! But it's okay, you know how to give yourself chicken soup, haha..."

Lin Nan ignored Liu Yifei's eye roll and said with a smile.

Jing Tian just had a backlash because of the strong support of Lu Zheng for a movie.

Liu Yifei blocked the way of many actresses at that time, and people were everywhere slandering her and spreading rumors about her. Now I can understand the same feeling.

"You are the only one who talks a lot! At that time, you were just like a piece of wood. You didn't know how to call me to comfort me."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei suddenly remembered something and said angrily, glaring at her boyfriend.

"A boy calls his underage daughter all day long, and my mother is not sure what to think of me.

Besides, don’t I often send text messages to chat with you? And I called many times and was answered by my aunt..."

Before Lin Nan could finish speaking, Liu Yifei burst into laughter.

She recalled that at that time, she often hid in bed and secretly called Lin Nan, but she was often caught by her own mother, as if she was being watched.

…………

This is Zhao Liying's last visit to Huayi Brokerage Company.

Even if you have said that you will not renew the contract, there are still some necessary formalities that need to be processed and signed.

"Liying, do you really want to leave?"

Some young artists who happened to be in the company also asked curiously after seeing Zhao Liying.

In the past, everyone was a competitor, competing for small roles. But since everyone else is leaving, there is no competition.

"Yes, I have stayed in the company for five years and want to change my career path."

Zhao Liying nodded, said with a smile, and then walked to Li Chong's office.

Although Li Bingbing left Huayi and opened his own studio. But her sister is still the boss and actual manager of Huayi Brokerage Company.

The fate of all artists must pass through Li Chong's hands in the end.

"Why does she look different?" someone asked in confusion.

"What's different? Don't you still look the same?"

Zhao Liying was originally the champion of Feng Xiaogang's group on "Yahoo Star Search". Logically speaking, if she had some relationship with this great director, she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state!

But this is Huayi, and the company's habit is to let newcomers go around without paying much attention, let alone rural girls with no background and non-scientific background.

"There seems to be a slight change. I used to be very introverted when I met people, but this time I'm actually very generous?!"

Li Chong's office.

There are two young artists whose contracts with the company have expired recently and have not been renewed.

When the agent below came up with the report, Li Qian took a serious look at it.

The one who came here today, how should I put it, has also acted in several TV series. He is quite cute, but he is not active.

In her opinion, this kind of appearance still has a future. Of course, a better chance may be needed.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Chong shouted to come in.

The moment Zhao Liying came in, she was still a little nervous. After all, it was almost impossible for a young artist to have the opportunity to enter Li Xie's office.

But the next moment, Zhao Liying returned to her normal state of mind because she remembered Yue Jun's words.

"Mr. Li, my contract has expired. I will handle the formalities."

Li Cong took a closer look at Zhao Liying. He didn't pay much attention to these young artists before, but now he looked at her and found that she was indeed quite well-behaved.

"Have you thought about it? Huayi is a top company in the industry. After leaving, it will be difficult to come back."

Li Cong reminded him casually, giving the girl in front of him the last chance.

"I have already made up my mind not to renew my contract."

Zhao Liying is very firm and decisive.

"Um?"

Li Cong frowned, and then a subtle sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Li Cong had a new conclusion about Zhao Liying. This kind of young actor who has no emotional intelligence and no appreciation will have no future.

"Then sign this 'contract expiration document'. You can't use Huayi's name to receive announcements outside in the future..."

In less than five minutes, Zhao Liying left Huayi Brokerage Company with her own document.

"Go and delete her information from the official website."

"Mr. Li, do you need to make another announcement?"

"No, for a little-known artist, if you make an announcement, wouldn't it be advertising for her..."

…………

As soon as Zhao Liying walked out of the door of Huayi Brokerage Company, a bright smile appeared on her face.

She couldn't wait to make a phone call.

"Director Yue, I have completed the procedures at Huayi."

"good."

…………

In the afternoon, Zhao Liying posted a Weibo message.

"Today the five-year contract with Huayi Brokerage Company expired and we broke up peacefully...".

There were not many likes, most of them were little actors who were more inconspicuous than her, but there were still a few celebrities in the industry.

For example, Jiang Yanrou, Xu Zheng...

In the afternoon of the same day, Raytheon announced the final casting list for "Four Famous Catchers".

There is only one on the list!

"In "Four Famous Catchers", the female lead: Ruthless will be played by actress: Zhao Liying."

As soon as the news about the Rays was announced, it attracted the attention of the industry.

Most actresses and agencies have never heard of this name. I really don’t know where the connections came from!

Only the Huayi Brokerage Company was instantly lively.

When the people below told Li Chong about this, the latter looked like he had seen a ghost.

"This is obviously because the contract has not expired, so we have contacted the next buyer! Who dares to poach Huayi?"

"I'm going to the film and television company. I have to talk to Mr. Wang. Haha..."

The next chapter will be a little later.
