This Star Wants To Retire

The taste of a mentor is awesome.

………

After Luo Mo finished speaking, Xu Chujing glanced at the TV in the hotel and saw the characters in the movie kissing.

Before she could react, Luo Mo put a little force on her waist with his big hand, forcing her to cling to his chest, then bowed his head and kissed her.

The former star mentor of "Creating Idols", being so dominated by the trainees, was slightly startled at first, and then closed his eyes helplessly.

This suite has two rooms, which is a bit of a waste.

For Luo Mo, even if the battle for the rankings is still undecided, and the two of them's bet officially kicked off tomorrow morning, it is still beautiful to be soft and warm on New Year's Eve.

At this moment, he placed his big hand on Sister Jing's lower back, all the way up.

Luo Mo's original plan was to finally stroke her head during the kiss. As a result, the big hand went all the way up, feeling the curve of her lower back, and finally touched something that felt metallic and slightly cold.

That's the zipper on the back of the dress.

Luo Mo directly pulled it down slightly, then opened his eyes, looking at the mirror on the wall.

The beautiful back came into view like this.

All of a sudden, a dress with a strict back was sexy with a back slit.

But the zipper was only half torn off, and the dress could still be worn on the body.

Because of the two positions in front, the skirt is tightly stuck and held up.

Xu Chujing didn't push Luo Mo away, nor did he stop him, it was because of this unparalleled self-confidence.

Some clothes will fall down when worn on a tablet, but when worn on some people, they will even create a more unique visual effect.

—Let him taste the sweetness.

……..

……..

"Legend" and "Wukong" went viral on New Year's Eve.

The next day, which is New Year's Day, many people in the industry are waiting for [TV Network] to announce the data of the New Year's Eve of various David TVs.

Most of the people are actually people who eat melons, watching the excitement.

I just want to catch the heat when I'm so stuffed.

For David TV, it is like waiting for the school to announce the results after the students finish the exam.

Those who think they have performed well are complacent, waiting for the moment of glory to act aggressively.

As for those who know that their exams are a mess, they feel extremely tormented. This kind of transparent and open form of grades is tantamount to a public execution.

In the same way, when a group of online authors put their new books on the shelves, they also treat the publicity of their first book results in this way.

In the past, Octopus Terrace would not have looked forward to this moment. They're not bad, but they're just below average.

But today, director Xu Guan turned on [TV Network] early in the morning, and muttered several times: "Why hasn't the data been released yet?"

Until 10:09, [TV Network] delayed by 9 minutes before releasing the data.

"The average audience rating ranks fourth." Xu Guan was very satisfied.

Second only to the three David TVs, it's ok.

After all, after Luo Mo's "Wukong" ended, the ratings of Octopus Channel declined steadily and then avalanche.

Xu Guan is most concerned about the peak ratings.

After taking a closer look, sure enough, "Wukong" ranked first, and "Legend" also ranked fourth!

In other words, among all the programs on David TV last night, "Wukong" was the stage with the highest ratings!

Luo Mo once again continued his myth and created a miracle!

——I have nothing to introduce myself, I am simply invincible.

"The next New Year's Eve party, we have to do it well!" Xu Guan is gearing up and preparing to do something drastic this year.

This year, Octopus TV is really going to make a final impact on the three big TVs!

………

………

"Wukong" became the stage with the highest ratings, and after word-of-mouth exploded, many marketing accounts began to quit one after another, writing articles or editing videos one after another.

Some are touting "Wukong" vigorously, and some are comparing "Wukong" with the stage of other traffic stars, relying on the clumsy but tried-and-tested method of "praise one step one" to gain popularity.

For example, it says: "This video makes you feel the difference in singing skills."

Then first a traffic star sang a cover of a song in a lower key, and it was still lip-syncing. Immediately afterwards, there was Luo Mo's invincible stage.

In this era of face-based traffic, the most fearful thing is this kind of person who is more handsome than you and stronger than you.

Although most of these marketing accounts have no good intentions, from a certain point of view, they actually let more people hear the song "Wukong" and let more people pay attention to the movie "The Return of the Great Sage".

It is conceivable that in the next one or two months, there will be many follow-up people, and they will start to produce some songs that incorporate opera elements.

Or even start directly with the theme of Journey to the West.

What kind of canopy, Tang Seng, they can all sing!

On this side, the singing world has become accustomed to Luo Mo's invincible posture. The film world, on the other hand, was a little dumbfounded.

Luo Mo's operation made many people in the film industry stunned.

The joining of Huang Lun made this movie popular before it was broadcast, and we recognized it.

After all, he is a master, a national treasure master.

But you rely on a New Year's Eve stage and a song to make a movie so popular, it's really outrageous.

Yes, there have been examples of songs that became popular first, and then movies became popular.

But it's not that exaggerated!

"Simply unheard of!"

"This kind of propaganda method, the return is too high!"

"I feel that throwing 10 million yuan out for publicity may not necessarily have such a terrible effect."

Overnight, the number of people [wanting to watch] "The Return of the Great Sage" in the major ticketing apps doubled again.

As for the more experienced and keen filmmakers, they have discovered the root of this.

"Good singing is one aspect, and his popularity in the music scene is another aspect."

"But there is one more special thing, and that is—feelings!"

Many filmmakers calmed down and discussed it, just like the films that rely on songs to drive the box office in the past, what are most of the themes?

——mainly youth films.

Or just a romance.

This kind of thing that can resonate emotionally and trigger memories will have a much better effect.

In the song "Wukong", feelings and emotions resonate, which can be said to be a two-pronged approach.

This kind of resistance and refusal to admit defeat is already very touching.

Coupled with the fact that he is the Monkey King, it immediately becomes different.

"No wonder he is so ambitious and wants to make something famous during the Spring Festival." Many people thought in their hearts.

"He didn't just jump right into the movie business and screw around."

"Obviously, he came prepared!"

As I said before, although the domestic animation industry has not yet reached the stage of explosive development, there are already some people with investment vision who are staring at it.

For example, Shen Shaoqiu, the boss of Xinyu, is more optimistic about it, so he bought He Yuanguang's Tongguang studio, and then started a series of cooperation between Luo Mo and He Yuanguang.

Although most people still don't believe that a major animation movie can break 500 million at the box office, and then make the 150 million investment return. However, many people already feel that Luo Mo is not burning money.

Maybe he has some plan that we don't understand!

………

………

The popularity of "Wukong" and the soaring popularity of "The Return of the Great Sage" have caused headaches for major theaters.

"It's a bit difficult to arrange the amount of films."

The filming of "Bear Bear Fight" has been squeezed out of shape.

As for the other four major productions, no one's schedule is good.....

Today is New Year's Day, the first day of the new year, Luo Mo has thrown us a big problem.

According to Bluestar's cinema schedule rules, before the movie is released, the number of movies scheduled for the first three days will be determined. This is fixed and a contract will be signed.

After three days, whether to increase or reduce the number of films will be determined purely by the theaters based on the movie's box office and word of mouth, so it is more flexible.

Your movie has great potential, and the theaters think they can get more box office, so they will naturally add more movies to you.

Your film has little potential, or the reputation is ridiculously poor, and it is obvious that it is going to fall off a cliff, and the theaters will reduce your film schedule.

For the operation here, the theater chain has its own indicators and will follow the standards.

Now, the main reason why the theaters have such a headache is because of one thing - the low ticket price of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Movie tickets for the Spring Festival stalls will be slightly more expensive than usual.

But the duration of "The Return of the Great Sage" is only 95 minutes.

On earth, due to insufficient funds, it is not even 90 minutes, only 89 minutes, and many places that need to burn money have been removed.

Luo Mo was willing to spend money, and made a good job of some big scenes that he thought were too fast, or some big scenes that he was reluctant to spend too much money on.

But the duration of 95 minutes is actually not too long. To be precise, about 90 minutes is basically the "bottom line" of a movie, and it is difficult to make it shorter.

The shorter the duration, the lower the fare.

Although "The Return of the Great Sage" is a 3D movie, but now Blue Star is in the era when 3D is prevalent, and many movies that don't need to be made into 3D are forced to be made into 3D to make money, so as to increase the ticket price.

Therefore, the entire Spring Festival file is full of 3D movies, even "Bear Bear"!

As for the length of the movie, it is about two hours. There isn't even a movie that lasts 100 minutes!

This also makes "The Return of the Great Sage", which has the shortest duration, the lowest ticket price in the entire Spring Festival stalls, a few yuan lower than the ticket price of "Bear Bear".

This has become the biggest obstacle to increasing the array.

Luo Mo also mentioned this when he held a small meeting with He Yuanguang and Shen Shaoqiu.

Although he is very confident that he can expand the influence and popularity of the film before its release, he is still not very optimistic about the film schedule in theaters, and feels that "The Return of the Great Sage" will not get much.

"The reason is very simple. For the blockbuster movies in the Spring Festival, there is no need to worry about attendance a few days ago." Luo Mo said.

Looking at all the bad movies on the planet, many of them exploded at the box office a few days ago, and then went to the street because of factors such as word of mouth.

Before a movie is officially released, everyone can only rely on the director, cast, publicity and other aspects to predict whether the movie will be good or not.

But whether it is good or not, you always have to read it to know.

Everyone should know the virtues of the movie theater on the first day of the new year, and it was really full of seats.

If you buy a ticket temporarily, you may not be able to buy a ticket!

It takes time for a good movie to gain a good reputation.

It also takes time for the reputation of bad movies to plummet.

Since every theater is basically full at the beginning of the year, why should we take risks for your big anime movie with a lower ticket price?

"This is a very simple arithmetic problem." Luo Mo spread his hands, feeling a little helpless.

He felt that the number of film schedules could increase a bit, but the increase was limited.

He Yuanguang and Shen Shaoqiu nodded slightly when they heard the words. They also knew the way here.

Theaters only care about making money, and they only want to squeeze out all the remaining value of a movie.

They are not investors, they just care about the box office.

On the contrary, many people even think that it is a good thing that a movie that has been highly anticipated by many people but turned out to be a bad movie has a higher number of movies a few days before its release.

In this way, more people will come in to see it!

Wait until it's powerless to follow up, can't it just be lowered when arranging films for it?

But if it is a good word-of-mouth work, many new viewers will come in when word of mouth spreads.

Even if the film arrangement is low at the beginning, it will be fine to increase the film arrangement later, and the value can be maximized!

Good things don't worry about no one buying them, but it's better to harvest bad ones as soon as possible.

In this regard, Luo Mo is quite relaxed, and there is not much pressure.

Friends, have you ever heard of….hunger marketing?

There are few films in the lineup, which means that you may not be able to buy a ticket if you want to watch it, which is a very uncomfortable thing.

"The Return of the Great Sage" on Earth looked like this from the beginning.

The venue is full, but the film rank is too low.

Yes, it stands to reason that some people feel uncomfortable not being able to buy a ticket, and want to watch it even more. But some people, because they can't buy tickets, will gradually forget about this movie, or it will lose its character.

It's like a novel, if you stop it for a day or two, you'll have to wait a lot, but if you stop it for a few months, you'll be in limbo.

However, "The Return of the Great Sage" has a very special place!

——It is the kind of movie that will refresh the screen on your Moments, Weibo and other social platforms!

It's strange that after watching some movies, the audience may not necessarily post a post on Moments and share the ticket stubs.

But "The Return of the Great Sage" is different!

It's still the same reason - [feelings]!

It will continue to appear before your eyes, and it will continue to appear before your eyes.

That's scary.

People, there is always a little bit of herd mentality.

Therefore, there are many reasons why "The Return of the Great Sage" became the first phenomenon-level animation work on earth, and the box office record of this category was raised several times in one breath.

That's why Luo Mo chose it instead of other animation movies.

The Great Sage is the most suitable existence to make a world-shaking event!

——Irreplaceable!

For Luo Mo, the release of "The Return of the Great Sage" is a psychological battle with everyone.

He wants to... the devil who sees through people's hearts!

(ps: I feel a little uncomfortable today, so there are only 4000 words in one chapter.)
