This Emperor is Only An Actor

"Director Wu, do you still remember the assist given to you by "The Nine-story Demon Tower" that you played before the release of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon?"

In the time period of the previous life, these two movies were actually released in the second half of this year.

But in this world ahead of schedule.

If there is no reason, asking is the parallel world, and asking again is quantum mechanics.

Wu Ershan understood Yueguan's meaning in seconds, and his expression became a little subtle in an instant: "You mean "Legend of the Conferred Gods" will be the same bad movie as "Nine-story Demon Tower"?"

Yes, bad movies.

In private, Wu Ershan doesn't mind telling the truth.

"Nine-story Demon Tower" must be a bad movie.

Lu Chuan, the director of "Nine-story Demon Tower", publicly expressed his contempt for the original author of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" in an interview, saying that he is willing to make a movie based on this novel. It is an honor for the novel "Ghost Blowing Lantern".

Then he also said that when a novel is adapted into a movie, it actually has nothing to do with the original work, nor does it have much to do with the original author. It should be up to him, the director, to decide what to make.

Then he shot "Nine-story Demon Tower".

And Wu Ershan invited the original author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to be the screenwriter of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon", and directly played "Nine-story Demon Tower" in all directions and 360° without dead ends.

After "Nine-story Demon Tower", Lu Chuan was basically completely abandoned by capital.

After all, a director who can't make money for capital is also an iron waste in the eyes of capital. And Wu Ershan invited the original author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to be the screenwriter of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon", and directly played "Nine Dragons" in all directions and 360° without dead ends.

And Wu Ershan invited the original author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to be the screenwriter of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon", and directly performed all-round 360° without dead ends.

After all, a director who can't make money for capital is also an iron waste in the eyes of capital.

I have given him many opportunities to prove himself, but every time he pulls his hips, he cannot always do good deeds with his capital.

In fact, Wu Ershan was also very grateful for Lu Chuan.

If there is no string for comparison, he may not have the current status in the industry.

Again, it all depends on peers.

Hearing Yue Guan compare "Legend of the Conferred Gods" and "Nine-story Demon Tower", Wu Ershan couldn't believe it: "No matter in terms of investment or lineup, these two films should not be of the same level."

Yue Guan shook his head: "I feel, just feel, the movie "Legend of Gods" may not be here to make money."

"What's the meaning?"

"Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Li Lianjie, Gu Tianle, Liang Jiahui... all said to the outside world that what they want is the price of favor. Is it so valuable? If you don't give enough money, you don't want to maintain the relationship later? For my son's movie, if you invite a big star to be a green leaf, don't you give him enough money?"

Yue Guan smiled: "That's not how favors are done. I don't think the two brothers of Xiang's family are so popular that they would repay them with kindness. Friendship is only when there is reciprocity. One-sided oppression is short-sighted."

"You mean..." Wu Ershan somewhat understood what Yue Guan didn't say: "Didn't they deal with this kind of thing last time? How dare they..."

After "Things in the Entertainment Industry" was exposed, the chaos in the entertainment industry was noticed by the higher-ups, and they vigorously rectified it.

Sister Bayi has to thank Yueguan. If Yueguan hadn't broken the trap in advance, she would not have made up so much money.

It's not long since that turmoil, but Wu Ershan heard the subtext in Yueguan's words, and he was a little frightened.

Yue Guan was very calm: "When Xiangcheng's movies were at their peak, weren't movies just used to launder money? Even now, such things are not uncommon."

"It shouldn't be that serious. Judging from this lineup, I feel that they still want to hit the box office." Mo Xiangwan said: "Otherwise, there is no need to deploy so many big names, and even if they are rushing to support their son, the movie will not be too expensive." The hotter the better, otherwise my son won't be able to support it."

"That's true. After all, no one thinks they have a lot of money." Yue Guan nodded: "However, there is often a big gap between ideals and reality. Let's put it this way, historical movies, theme movies, science fiction movies, mythological movies, sweet and sour. The director of the city can't make it."

Yueguan fired a map cannon.

There is no geographical discrimination involved.

Yue Guan just expressed his true inner thoughts.

After so many years, no Xiangcheng director has ever slapped him in the face.

Both Wu Ershan and Mo Xiangwan thought about it seriously, and found that Yueguan's words really couldn't be refuted.

There really isn't a single positive example.

Sometimes you have to admit that the Hong Kong police and gangster films are better than the Central Plains films of the same period. There are genres they are good at, and there are genres they are not good at.

And the subject matter of "Fengshen" happened to be something they were not good at.

Wu Ershan was more convinced by Yueguan's reasoning than Jiang Darin.

Wu Ershan began to look forward to it.

"If "Legend of the Conferred Gods" is really as bad as "The Nine-story Demon Tower", it will be a huge benefit for our "Conferred Gods" II. We don't need to do too well, as long as we are better than it. Being outstanding is enough," Wu Ershan said.

Yue Guan thought about the reputation of "Legend of the Gods" in his previous life, and then blinked.

"Director Wu, what if "Legend of the Conferred Gods" is worse than "Nine-story Demon Tower"?"

Wu Ershan's tone was very firm: "Then we'll just wait and win. Let's put it this way, if the word-of-mouth of "Legend of the Gods" does not break 5, we can earn 100 million. If it does not break 4, we will be safe Lie down and earn 200 million."

"What if it doesn't break 3?"

"300 million is definitely stable, and it is very likely to trigger retaliatory movie viewing. But this kind of investment of several hundred million, with a star-studded lineup, it is too difficult to keep the reputation of 3." Wu Ershan shook Shake your head.

He does not entertain such delusions.

Yueguan: "╰(￣▽￣)╭"

He remembered very clearly that the score of "Legend of the Gods" in his previous life was 2.9 points.

Li Ruotong has been listening in, and when she heard this, she didn't understand: "Yueguan, didn't you say that the ratings can't be trusted?"

"That's a premise. High scores depend on yourself, but those with scores below 6 basically don't slip through the net." Yue Guan said.

People's preferences may vary.

But the points that the public hates are basically the same.

And those with a score lower than 3 don't need to think about it, they are definitely credible bad movies.

Looking at the confident Yueguan, Li Ruotong always had an ominous premonition.

"Yueguan, I don't think we should be blindly optimistic. Before we see the quality of "Legend of the Gods", we can't take it lightly. You are so confident now, but it's all your own guesses without any basis. I think you It's a bit too conceited, Darlene dared to order "Legend of the Gods" in advance, because she must have confidence in "Legend of the Gods."

Hearing what Li Ruotong said, Wu Ershan subconsciously nodded.

Then he saw Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan smiling and high-fiving.

"It's stable now."

"I was quite worried at first, Ruotong, but luckily you stepped forward."

Mo Xiangwan felt that she might not believe what Yueguan said.

But what Li Ruotong said, she firmly believed.

This is friendship.
