Winner in life

Chapter 175 118 I want to be a big star (1/2)

The box office revenue of 2 million on the first day was a good start for this movie with a total investment of only 8 million. The competition for summer vacation this year is not as fierce as last year. In the past two years, so-called big-budget movies have hit the market one after another. It seems that starting from "The Eyes of Moreau" in 2017, such big-budget movies have been on the road to failure, especially Last year, a magical blockbuster called "The God", which claimed to cost 1.2 billion, ended up with a total box office of less than 300 million. It was criticized by netizens as the worst movie of the year. It not only lost money but also lost reputation, which made the current situation of such big-budget movies even worse.

Why is this happening? Some people say it’s the sky-high remuneration that’s responsible. With so much investment, most of it is spent on the remuneration, so what good special effects can be produced? Some people also say that it is a problem with the script. In recent years, all the so-called big-budget commercial films have been badly made. The scripts are not innovative, and no matter how much investment is made, they cannot turn stones into gems. There is also a saying that those movies with huge investment are money laundering. It is definitely impossible to invest so much money, and the numbers on the books are deceiving. This involves a shady secret in the industry. Not many people dare to mention it, and if they do, they will be suppressed.

In short, there is not a single big-budget movie this year, and there is not a single magical or fantasy movie that requires a lot of special effects. There are the most literary and artistic movies like "Goodbye Tanxi". , the studio would be very happy if it could earn two million at the box office on the first day.

This is the second movie starring Rui He. Jiajun Studio and Rui He each invested two million in it. Rui He didn't get paid, so he was counting on box office dividends. The box office on the first day was pretty good, so Fan Junli was naturally happy: "Sister Zhen said, if the movie loses money, I will use my private money to compensate you."

On the day of the premiere, Rui He naturally went to watch it. As he watched, the original person's memory became clearer with the plot. This was the original person's favorite movie. Ruihe watched it carefully and came out with red eyes.

He was wearing a mask and a peaked cap. When he walked out of the screening room, a girl next to him suddenly fell down. He quickly helped him up because of his poor eyesight. The girl quickly apologized to him, her eyes turned red and turned into rabbit eyes: "Thank you." Then she met Ruihe's eyes and said, Suddenly he laughed, "The movie is quite touching, isn't it? My eyes were a little blurry from crying." Ruihe nodded and said softly, "Yes."

After watching the movie, people walked out of the screening room and talked about their experience watching the movie in small groups.

"Tan Xixi is miserable, why didn't they get back together in the end?"

"It's so beautiful. I want my mother to come and see it. She can't spoil my brother like this anymore..."

"This is a mama's boy. People on the Internet say that you should not marry a mama's boy when you marry someone, and you don't want to marry a wife who supports your younger brother..."

"..."

When he returned to Xiaoqin Lake, Ruihe found that the movie's rating had been enabled, and the initial rating from netizens had come out: 9.7 points. This score is artificially high because there are not many netizens participating in the evaluation, and it will gradually decrease in the future.

"I hope that the box office will have a good upward trend in the future." Fan Junli said, "Yesterday, your sister Zhen went to the temple to ask for a peace charm, and by the way, she made a wish for you to be the number one male in the box office with a box office of 100 million."

Ruihe was a little touched: "Sister Zhen always thinks of me."

"It would be great if it really breaks the 100 million mark."

After the movie was released, Ruihe also sent movie tickets to his family, relatives and friends. In order to support the movie, Jiajun Studio bought a batch of tickets and gave them to Ruihe's fans, which was a small contribution to the box office. Fortunately, the movie's box office has really been rising, growing slowly but steadily. It was released for five days and the box office exceeded 10 million. For a movie with an investment of eight million, it will be considered as a return on investment if it has a box office of 25 million in the end. If it exceeds this amount, it will be profitable. At present, it seems that "Goodbye Tan Hee" can return on investment.

However, "Goodbye Tan Hee" is really up to par. After five days, the box office exceeded 30 million, and the highest daily box office reached 6 million one day, which is very gratifying. Discussions about "Goodbye Tan Hee" are increasing every day on the Internet.

This movie focuses on fashionable and classic topics such as "blind date", "old leftover man" and "Mama's boy", etc. It has resonated with many people, and the issue of parental education has triggered a lot of debate and thinking.

Is Tanxi happy? He is naturally happy. His father died when he was young, and his mother raised him like jewels. He grew up without illness or disaster, and bought a house and a car.

But is Tanxi really happy? He lives dependent on his mother, not only in matters of life, but also in spirit.

"Everything my mother said is right." "I have to listen to my mother." "No, my mother won't let me go."

He couldn't make the decision on his own, no matter how big or small, but he was happy to do so. He hid in his comfort zone, and it wasn't until he failed in blind dates again and again that he started to have some doubts: "Did he really do something wrong?" But Tan's mother swore to the sky that others said he was good or bad because others had no discernment, so he wandered around again. Then take back your wandering thoughts.

Yes, everything mom said is right.

So after a series of ridiculous blind date events, Tan Xi completely became the disliked object of the matchmakers, and no one was willing to introduce him to a partner. The mother and son moved into the new community, but it was the same for only a year, and those enthusiastic aunts The aunts avoided him.

However, there were also enthusiastic mother-in-laws who dared to speak and said to Tan Mu: "Don't tie your son too tightly. A daughter-in-law and a mother are different."

Tan's mother couldn't understand. She had always been here like this, and her children had been raised with difficulty. Why did other people suddenly say that she was wrong? She is not wrong. The son is hers and he should listen to her. Later, Tan Xi unexpectedly fell in love with a girl. The girl was innocent and romantic, and she loved Tan Xi's natural dullness and unvarnished honesty.

It is true that Tan Xi is good-looking, tall and handsome, and can do housework. He is soft-spoken and gentle. The girl, who was only in her early twenties, was immediately fascinated by Tan Xi. Love is crazy, love is also fierce. The girl doesn't think so much, she just thinks that love is everything in the world. With love, she has nothing to fear.

When she was nearly thirty, Tan Xi finally fell in love. After being chased by the girl for a month, Tan's mother quietly inquired about the girl's family background, etc., and agreed, so Tan Xi got a girlfriend. But at the end of the relationship, you still have to face reality. Two years later, the two talked about marriage. In the girl's eyes, the boyfriend who was "so good, so gentle and considerate" showed her another face.

bride price? Listen to my mother. Redecorate the house? My mother refused. Two families meet to discuss marriage? My mother said you can just move here.

Love is awakened by reality, and the girl's heart is broken. She is also a good-tempered girl. She has been in love with Tan Xi for two years. The two have not even argued a few words. They are so in tune and harmonious, as if they are a match made in heaven. Which of her friends does not say that she has I'm so lucky to have found such a good boyfriend.

But the dream was shattered.

Later in the story, Tan Xi's marriage was finally put on hold. Her love was already dissipating when he weakly hid behind Tan's mother, but he still listened to Tan's mother: "A woman is worthless when she is pregnant. She has children." If not, who else can you go with? You tell her to get the certificate in three days, and if she doesn’t get it, we’ll break up!”

Tan Xi felt bad, but Tan's mother glared: "You are my son, could I harm you?!" With just this sentence, Tan Xi did not dare to speak.

"If she loves you, she should listen to you!"

"The request she is making now is just to target me. I have raised you so much, and you just whine at me like this..."

One sentence after another, the glimmer of clarity that Tan Xi gained from his girlfriend was suppressed by years of inertia.

Listen to mom, just listen to mom.

Seeing that her girlfriend's belly is getting bigger and bigger, but her marriage is far away, Tan's mother is very proud. How wonderful it would be to get a daughter-in-law without spending a penny! The money saved can be used to raise a child. The child is four months old, right? Can you check the boy or girl? If it's not a boy, then abort it. Only if she is pregnant with a boy will she be allowed to enter...

Tan's mother was proud and happy, and she was also thinking about it when crossing the road. When the red light came on, she cursed impatiently and continued walking, muttering: "It's great to have a car, and my son also has-" She was used to crossing the road like this, she She's an old lady, shouldn't she have to let those cars go? Are you rushing to reincarnate?

"Bump!" Because someone was crossing the road, the vehicle had to slow down, but there was still a car speeding out around the corner, instantly knocking Tan Mu away.

There was a sudden sound of whistles and screams. Old Mrs. Tan's body fell to the ground, and the vegetable basket in her hand rolled to the side of the road. The vegetables were trampled, crushed and stained with blood, and their original appearance could no longer be seen.

Tan Mu died unexpectedly. Tan Xi lost the sky and the earth in an instant, the world was spinning and he couldn't even stand still. His girlfriend helped organize the aftermath of the car accident and the funeral. She rubbed her belly and looked at the man she had loved for two years. The halo and filter of love had faded away. He was just a man over thirty but without any opinion and As a man.

When the prospective mother-in-law is around, he listens to the prospective mother-in-law.

Now that the man is dead, he can do nothing.

The girlfriend waited for another month with despair. During this month, she tried every means, but Tan Xi was still like Adou who couldn't help him. After three days of insomnia, my girlfriend finally went to the hospital without telling her parents, had the child beaten, and broke up with her. Not only her parents were shocked, but Tan Xi was also shocked.

"Fang'er, why are you so stupid! If your mother is gone, won't you be able to live a good life? A five-month-old baby!"

Tan Xi looked at her dully: "Fang'er, I, I..." He was still immersed in the grief of losing his mother. He was pushed away by his girlfriend like a puppet, and he finished the funeral in a daze. At night, he hugged the photo at home and cried: "Mom, you saw it, Fang'er is such a good girl. I have decided that I will have a good life with her, so don't make any more choices..."

In the blink of an eye, his girlfriend had an abortion and said they were breaking up, but he didn't react at all.

Her girlfriend Fang'er was very determined. She looked at Tan Xi with disappointment: "You haven't figured it out at all. I don't want to be your mother, I don't want to take over your mother's responsibilities, and I have to bear the responsibility of being your wife and the mother of your children." I will go crazy if you take on all the responsibilities. Can you set a good example for your children? No, you can’t take on any responsibilities. If we get married, I will be able to coax the older one and take care of the younger one at a glance. —" She shook in fear as she spoke, her eyes gradually becoming firmer, "In the end, I will be arrested at home and outside the house, and I will become like your mother, and finally it will happen to my child. I don't want this!"

The girlfriend left.

Tan Xi, who lost his biological mother, girlfriend and unborn child, lives alone. Without a fucking plan, he wouldn't go on a blind date by himself. After what happened with his ex-girlfriend, and the weird things about his family that everyone in the neighborhood knew about, who would introduce it to him? Some ignorant girls were attracted to his skin, but their parents severely stopped them.

There is no longer a naive and simple girl who has just entered society to fall in love with him. His weakness and escaping personality broke a girl's heart, and that girl turned into a mature woman. She got married on a blind date two years later, gave birth to a child a year later, and lived a simple and happy life.

Tan Xi has never been married. Later, when the factory laid off employees, he had nowhere to go, and with no one to help him, he could hardly find a new path. He successively worked as a construction site worker, a takeout delivery person, and a fast food delivery person. His character is very problematic. If his life and work are stable, it won't be obvious. But once things get turbulent, he has no courage, no guts, let alone courage. He is submissive, bullied by his colleagues, bullied by his colleagues, and bullied by his colleagues.

When his career was not going well, he did not dare to resist. He only missed his late mother terribly in the dead of night.

If Tan Mu was here, she would go to the store to scold him, and she would protect him.

In the end, Tan Xi's life was so ordinary. When he was old, his neighbors still commented on him: He is honest, so honest! I think it's a pity that he's not married. He obviously has such a good character and good people are so popular. It's a pity. Few people remember the grievances of those years, and no one knows that a girl who was pregnant with Liujia cut off the deep friendship of her first love with her own hands because of her fiancé's inaction and weakness.

"Mom, look at that grandpa, he's looking at you." An old lady held her grandson's hand and passed by the gate of a certain community. The old lady looked at her grandson's fingers, then shook her head: "I don't recognize him, let's go. Your mother said she made dumplings for you."

Tan Xi wiped his glasses, moved the small stool and went home: "It's time to cook, cook."

*

People who have watched the movie think Tan Xi is hateful and pitiful. The more topics discussed, the more heated it becomes. The publicity and distribution expenses for "Goodbye Tan Hee" were not high. Ruihe only went on road shows in seven cities and recorded a variety show. The publicity and distribution expenses were really too small. He even bought a central poster advertising space in a movie theater. I can't afford it. The promotional poster has always been in the middle of the summer movie posters. Even the promotional trailer video is at the end and is short.

Therefore, Fan Junli spent a full two million on a marketing company to help promote "Goodbye Tanxi". There is no way to reimburse this part of the money. After all, it is a spontaneous act of the actor's agency. Rui He was the male protagonist, and the company invested money. Fan Junli was determined to invest money. On the sixth day of the movie's release, Junyi Film and Television Culture Company, which he had worked with, began to guide online comments and accurately position it, making it famous. There are several topics of discussion. The "Mama's Boy" and "Blind Date" mentioned earlier were all created by Jun Yi.

Just like in the original memory, more and more moviegoers are attracted by the theme of the movie. Only if the movie is close to the reality of people's lives will it not be like a castle in the air and fail to penetrate people's hearts.

Ten days after its release, the box office of "Goodbye Tanxi" exceeded 100 million. Twenty days after its release, the box office exceeded 300 million, which shocked many people's eyes. No one could have imagined, including Fan Junli, who invested two million in marketing, that this movie would have such great stamina!
