This Star Wants To Retire

In recent years, the entertainment industry has made great strides in making money.

But under certain circumstances, we can often see the former industry giants suddenly fall.

Needless to say, the music scene, if Luo Mo hadn't turned out in the past few years, it can be said that it would be completely regressing.

In the film and television drama industry, there are many IP dramas with extremely high investment costs, and in the end they are all lost.

Although the film industry frequently produces high-grossing works, and the total national box office data is also soaring every year, the investment cost of films is also getting higher and higher.

In addition, it is not difficult to find that many movies with a strong cast, or with the words "special effects blockbuster", often lose all their underwear.

Wang Shisong's pineapple empire was indeed in full bloom.

In the music scene, his banner originally included [Ordinary King] Zhao Xueqin, [Queen's Goalkeeper] Chun Xiao, and several first-line singers.

Although it is not considered to be the top force in the music world, it is also one of the top four in the music world.

Huang Xishan, the former music director, is one of the top lyricists in the industry.

In the field of online dramas and variety shows, Pineapple has also developed very well in the past few years.

In terms of movies, the performance is average, but they have been making money.

What a full bloom!

Until Luo Mo's birth, Mr. Wang made a wrong decision.

Originally, he could use a good contract to retain talents, but he wanted to play the game of squeezing newcomers in the entertainment industry.

If the rookie is popular, it is time to suck our blood for another two years, and then give you a normal contract.

In fact, this set can be seen not only in the entertainment industry, but in many industries.

After being "arrogantly" rejected by Luo Mo, he even threatened to block him.

Boy, are you scared?

Unfortunately, the Xiaomengxin he met was actually a jerk.

And he has a very good mentality, either I will be messed up and retire early at a young age, or I will fuck you until you go out of business and retire.

The result is - I also want to retire, but my strength does not allow it.

After Huang Xishan retired, Pineapple has been going downhill in the music scene.

Even Chunxiao, the former Pineapple first sister, terminated the contract and wanted to go to Bao Luomo's thigh.

In terms of online dramas, their [Theatre of Suspense] was directly smashed by the [Theatre of Mist].

The pineapple with the most commercial value right now is Xiao Xianrou Zhong Feifan.

He was originally a star with good traffic in Pineapple, but hasn't the Dangai drama been very popular in the past few years, but before this type of drama became popular, there were no big names willing to condescend to act in this kind of Dangai of.

Even if this person is really a 0 or 1, he will not take the initiative to act.

After Zhong Feifan received the company's task, he was actually very resistant at first.

But who ever thought, the drama exploded!

The trend of delaying changes has begun to sweep the industry.

He also transformed himself and became Pineapple's only cash cow this year.

But the blow brought by "Modu Fortress" was too great.

This is not just a matter of film losing money.

Zhong Feifan's commercial value will also be directly cut in half!

Even he will become the laughing stock of the film industry for a long time, and become the target of ridicule by netizens. A hot joke can last for several years!

If you want to stand up again, it will be very difficult.

Pineapple is putting all its eggs in one basket in "Magic City Fortress".

As I said before, what Wang Shisong will face next will be either persecution from creditors or persecution from celebrities and young models.

Undoubtedly, what he faces now will be the former.

To be honest, Luo Mo was also very confused.

He is indeed deliberately nibbling away at the pineapple entertainment market step by step.

But who would have thought that the final fatal blow would actually be—self-destruct!

I didn't target you this time, I was just engaging in popular domestic science fiction.

It's just that our fire and your self-immolation fire don't seem to be the same kind of fire...

Luo Mo guessed that there would be a group of demons dancing in the field of domestic science fiction in the future.

When Technician Luo was pushing Xu Tianhou that day, he had this conversation.

But he didn't expect that Pineapple would shoot a romance film with a sci-fi skin by such a coincidence.

In fact, other capital tycoons in the industry have asked themselves: "If I were Wang Shisong, would I do the same thing?"

The result is - great possibility!

The temptation ahead is too great.

It's a pity that Wang Shisong's ending in the past few years is: "Seeing you build tall buildings, seeing you entertain guests, seeing you build tall buildings again, seeing you entertain guests again....seeing my building collapse."

Luo Mo made science fiction popular, but you think that standing on the air vent, pigs can fly, isn't this like a roast suckling pig?

Pineapples—no more!

……..

……..

Time moved backward two days.

The ratings of "Magic City Fortress" on major platforms still have room to decline.

Netizens rushed to say that they would go to the theater to watch "The Wandering Earth" again to wash their eyes.

After making the comparison, everyone also understands more and more how precious it is to have a "Wandering Earth" appear in this chaotic environment in China.

What's even more outrageous is that the door of science fiction has been opened, and you are still rushing to close the door!

Audience: No! I don't allow it!

The theaters arrange films according to the direction of the wind.

"Magic City Fortress" is so rotten that the super high screening rate originally given to it is naturally now distributed to other released movies.

"The Wandering Earth", which is being postponed in [Key], has also regained a lot of film production.

This also makes everyone pay more attention to how much "The Wandering Earth" can rise in the [Global Movie Box Office List].

Someone made an estimate, and since the gap is not too big, there should be another 5 places guaranteed!

Who would have thought that Luo Mohao would end up earning a lot of money after throwing so much money into domestic science fiction.

All filmmakers are envious.

But they asked themselves, would they dare to do this?

The answer is undoubtedly not.

Therefore, apart from envy, there is more admiration, even awe!

As for Wang Shisong, everyone is—grateful!

Many people want to spend money to follow suit and cast sci-fi movies.

The example of "Magic City Fortress" is here to let everyone understand that it is useless to just cover it with a sci-fi skin.

If you can't make a good movie, whoever touches it will die!

Okay, save us money!

"Come, come, let's raise a glass for Mr. Wang!"

"Mr. Wang, you are a good man!"

"I will remember this kindness forever!"

"Luo Mo, the guiding light of the industry. Wang Shisong, the guiding light of the industry."

"By all means, Mr. Wang may have saved the entire film industry billions!"

"If you don't lose, you earn. Mr. Wang is going well!"

Although Pineapple and Wang Shisong are gone, everyone has built a monument to him in their hearts.

Now, Luo Mo is also full of emotions.

Xu Chujing felt that Luo Mo was really accurate in judging people and things.

The development of the situation seemed to be within his expectations.

This made the Queen of Heaven a little bit of adoration because of this incident.

As the whole incident intensified, many netizens and the media started a very serious discussion.

Even within the audit department, a special meeting was held to discuss a topic on the Internet.

——Movies like "The Wandering Earth" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", or movies like "The Fortress of the Devil", which one is more significant to Chinese movies?

Whether it's netizens, the media, or even the audit department, they all insist on their own opinions.

Some people think: Then there is no need to think about it, of course these films by Luo Mo have directly affected the entire industry!

But some people think: "Magic City Fortress" has a huge warning effect!

Everyone was arguing, which caused the heat of this topic to continue to soar.

In the end, there was a very unanimous idea - go and invite Luo Mo!

Let's ask what Luo Mo thinks.

Luo Mo was quite busy at first, he had to prepare for the next new film, and also made plans for his wedding with Xu Chujing.

But even a lot of media of a special nature were mobilized, and Mrs. Zhong Lin also made a special phone call and suggested that he accept an interview, but Luo Mo couldn't refuse.

On the phone, Mrs. Zhong Lin's meaning was clear - He Ping'an had been upset for a long time watching the chaos in the Chinese movie circle.

This is tantamount to hinting at Luo Mo.

Although she knew very well that even if Luo Mo had no one to back him up, he would still die violently...

In the afternoon, Luo Mo met the editor-in-chief of a media company with a Beijing character in its name.

This is an ordinary-looking woman with half-rimmed glasses and short hair. She looks a bit aggressive.

Her surname is Wang, and her name is Wang Yueting.

Wang Yueting's manuscripts are always sharp.

Under normal circumstances, she will not be dispatched.

Before coming to interview Luo Mo, Wang Yueting guessed in his heart: "Luo Mo will say that his film is more meaningful."

"In his personal style, he's never overly self-effacing."

"On the contrary, sometimes, he will act a little fart."

"But his stinky fart is not arrogant, and it won't make people feel unpleasant."

When meeting Luo Mo, Wang Yueting immediately understood why he has so many fans, and why many people said: "Only when you meet Luo Mo himself can you understand how handsome he is!"

He was wearing a pure white T-shirt without any texture, and a pair of black straight-leg pants that were slightly loose underneath.

But looks, figure, temperament... are all great!

Wang Yueting knows that the media in the mainland is still a little more serious.

But the Hong Kong and Taiwan media are full of tricks.

She had heard that there was a media outlet on Hong Kong Island that published an outrageous list called—Ranking Actors Most Wanted by Rich Women.

Luo Mo won the first place.

On this list, Hong Kong Island on Earth has also played.

Nicholas Tse ranked second.

When the media interviewed him, he pretended to be upset and asked provocatively who was number one!

Depend on! It actually put me down.

The media said it was Goo Jai.

After Wang Yueting exchanged simple greetings with Luo Mo, he began to interview Luo Mo.

Luo Mo's answer was straightforward: "Personally, I think "Magic City Fortress" is more meaningful to Chinese films than any of my current films."

"Huh? Why?" Wang Yueting was slightly taken aback.

She said directly: ""The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha" have brought domestic animation films into a stage of prosperity."

"Your first live-action film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" also let the film industry know that as long as the film is well shot, even this realistic theme can be a hit."

"These are of great benefit to the Chinese film industry."

Luo Mo shook his head, and said, "Let's say it first, I'm not boasting. I personally don't judge the movies I make, whether they are good movies or not."

"It's just the current market feedback and the audience's ratings. These movies are all classified as good movies."

——I don't boast, but I accept all your compliments!

Luo Mo looked at Wang Yueting, and said something very seriously: "A good movie in the eyes of the audience and the market can definitely make money. This is common sense."

Who doesn't know that making a good movie can definitely make money?

It's just a question of earning more and earning less.

Luo Mo continued: "Capital is smart. Filmmakers have their own goals in making movies. For example, for profit, that is to make money, or for fame, that is to win awards."

"Everyone knows that good movies can make money, but why don't many people make good movies? Why do so many projects get investment easily, but in the end they suck?"

"Because [good] is not an indicator that can be quantified and easily analyzed."

"Film is an art. Art is a bit uncertain. It can't be summed up in one word. Investing in making a good movie still has unavoidable risks. What you think is good, but the audience may not think so."

"Risk is what capital hates."

When Wang Yueting heard this, he originally thought that you would win all of them in the end?

But if you think about it carefully, would others dare to take the risks he took along the way?

When the box office record of domestic animated films was only over 100 million, he directly used 100 million as the cost!

Not to mention "The Wandering Earth" this time.

Luo Mo continued: "But movies like "Magic City Fortress" are different."

"Or it's not just the film industry, but now the entire entertainment industry, everyone is playing the traffic economy."

"Good or bad, it's hard to judge."

"However, traffic flow, hype, and packaging... These sets of things are now very mature."

"And in the past few years, many people have made easy money."

"Playing the fan economy is very stable and profitable."

"That's how everyone came all the way."

"When most of the pop stars' songs, dramas, and movies end up making money, everyone's pursuit will become more pathological."

"The success of my films cannot reverse this situation."

Wang Yueting nodded, understanding Luo Mo's words.

His films are definitely effective, and will make those who make films more confident and have more opportunities.

But capital's obsession with flow will not change.

Cutting leeks is so cool!

The smoky chaos will not change.

"So, "Magic Capital Fortress" appeared at this time." Wang Yueting said.

Luo Mo nodded.

"The grievances of the audience have been deep, and they have been unhappy about it for a long time. Now it is actually ushering in a big explosion." Luo Mo said.

Many people are upset at first, but it doesn't matter, because once I see people like Zhong Feifan starring, I won't watch it.

Unless he proves himself, then I will consider it in the next one.

But what happened?

They make false propaganda, rely on science fiction to deceive us, and deceive us of money!

All of a sudden, the grievances broke out ahead of schedule.

A law of the new era that is different from the common sense of "good movies can make money" has emerged-"Pure traffic movies are not worthy of making money!"

Aren’t you always enjoying it? Don’t you have to feed the audience shit? Don’t you even think that the entire market will be traffic-oriented in the future, so that everyone can only find relatively good shit in the shit?

Well, we'll let you die!

The determination of the audience to give low scores, the turbulent criticism from the entire network, and the tragic loss of capital have reached an unprecedented peak!

The fans are a bit afraid to support it. On the contrary, many rational fans know very well that the overall situation has been settled. The more you resist now, the more you recruit black people. It is better to hide and wait for the limelight to pass.

"Anyway, my brother got his salary!"

But those who invest money, those who play traffic, are different.

This is not killing chickens to scare monkeys.

What's the use of killing a chicken in front of a group of monkeys?

Pineapple was originally a member of the monkey group, but now it was like being in front of the monkey group, and the monkey's brain exploded.

I want you to see how your kind died!

Luo Mo said: "It is not enough to point out a sunny avenue to some people, it is even more necessary to break the single-plank bridge they are proud of."

The bridge is broken, and in front of you is the raging river, see if you dare to jump down.

——Pure traffic movies, never to die again!

In this regard, "Magic City Fortress" has exceeded the mission entrusted to it by the times. As the end of a crazy gold-fishing era where traffic is paramount, it has great historical significance.

Mr. Wang's crime lies in the present, and his merits lie in the future!

Mr. Wang is wise!

In the end, Luo Mo also said something cool:

"I just did what a filmmaker should do, and I also made money, so I don't need praise."

The next day, this interview was quickly published on the Internet.

On the other hand, Luo Mo embarked on the journey of filming "Infernal Affairs".

I come, I see, I conquer.

"It's time for Hong Kong movies to understand this common sense!"
