World-class directors in the entertainment industry

[A certain male star appeared at the Ming Tombs in the morning and at the aquarium in the afternoon...]

[A certain female star appeared in Chaoyang Park to exercise in the morning and in the Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park in the afternoon...]

[So-and-so...World Flower Grand View Garden...Temple of Heaven...]

In the next two days, foreign celebrities were divided into different groups and appeared in various scenic spots in Kyoto every day. Reporters from each media company were overwhelmed and had to transfer people from various branches. Otherwise, there would be too many celebrities

Going to different scenic spots separately and following reporters is not enough.

...

BJ time.

December 23, 2012.

Evening, seven o'clock.

Kyoto Grand Auditorium.

"Taylor...goddess, I want to give birth to a child..."

"Nice soup... nice soup... I love you..."

"Black Widow...Scarlett..."

"Iron Man...look here..."

"Ka...ka...ka..."

In front of the auditorium, reporters were busy, cameras in their hands clicking.

The crowd cheered from time to time.

Never before has so many fans come to a premiere.

Movie fans from all over the world, and even many people from other countries came here.

The red carpet is normally only a few dozen meters long, but this time it was directly over a hundred meters long. There were security guards every few meters on the edge of the red carpet facing the crowd outside the railings.

Not only that, even traffic police and policemen came in large numbers to maintain law and order and prevent harassment.

In the afternoon, hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the auditorium. In the evening, as the time got closer and closer to seven o'clock, more and more movie fans showed up. Who knows whether they were thousands or tens of thousands.

Even the road near the auditorium was closed to prevent unexpected disturbances.

This kind of battle is basically invisible in Kyoto except during national events.

"Nicole...the ageless goddess..."

"AA...I love you..."

After seven o'clock, cheers broke out every few minutes.

As stars appeared one after another, the cheers of thousands of people on both sides of the red carpet could be heard clearly by people miles away.

"Chairman, you have so many connections that I was embarrassed to stay on the red carpet just now. I usually get a lot of cheers, but now there are very few..."

Inside the auditorium.

Wang Baobao laughed at himself and spoke to Qin Dong.

Normally, he is considered a well-known star. He can attend various ceremonies and get a lot of cheers as long as he walks on the red carpet. Even if he is not an idol and he is not handsome, he is famous enough.

.

But this time, every loud cheer was given to the foreign stars who followed Qin Dong.

When Wang Baobao walked on the red carpet just now, he clearly felt the "go away, you're blocking the way" looks from the movie fans on both sides of the red carpet.

He had to speed up and walk through the red carpet quickly. After entering, he immediately found Qin Dong to complain.

"You are not the first person to tell me this. I can only say that the environment in our industry still needs to be improved, and our artists also need more good works..."

Qin Dong smiled and patted Wang Baobao on the shoulder and comforted him.

As a film director at the premiere, Qin Dong didn't make any mistakes this time and walked on the red carpet, but today's star group was too big.

The total number of actors, directors, singers, and industry workers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places plus foreign actors, directors, singers, and industry workers is not 300, but more than 200.

With so many people, Qin Dong, who was supposed to be the finale, didn't have the patience to be the first to walk on the red carpet. This time, Sisi, Xianxian, and Mimi walked on the red carpet together.

Among the celebrities who came in later, many mainland celebrities who were familiar with Qin Dong came to Qin Dong and said this.

Maybe it's to get closer, maybe I really want to complain and feel the feeling of being suddenly left out by movie fans, who knows.

"In just over a month, the first part of [Chinatown Detective] starring me will be released. Chairman, you personally wrote this movie. How much box office do you think it can get?"

Wang Baobao also knows that he cannot compare with foreign stars. Everyone in the entertainment industry understands many things here. It is just that the publicity system is too different and everyone understands it.

So I didn't say much and talked about other topics with a smile.

"It's not easy to predict the box office. However, our economy is developing faster and faster, our compatriots are getting richer and richer, and the number of movie screens is also increasing rapidly every year. You are regarded as a representative of comedy stars in people's minds, so you are still worthy of ten

Hundreds of millions at least.”

Of course, Qin Dong wouldn't say the numbers directly. He just blew it off and thought of the box office numbers of this movie in his previous life, and casually added a few hundred million.

The previous film "Chinatown Detective" was released three years later and made more than 800 million at the box office.

But now, three years ahead of time, it should have been lower than 800 million. After all, the number of screens in cinemas is much lower than it was three years later.

But in the current movie, one of the two protagonists, Wang Baobao, has not changed, but the other protagonist has changed. The other protagonist in the previous movie was basically not famous in 2015, and the movie mainly relied on Wang Baobao to compete at the box office.

Now the protagonist has been replaced by Xu Wenfeng, the number one idol in the mainland whom Qin Dong personally supported and the new generation star with the most fans.

Therefore, even if the movie was released three years earlier, and even if the number of cinema screens is much less than three years later, Qin Dong still believes that the box office of this movie must be the number of the previous life, plus at least a few hundred million, otherwise it will not be able to live up to the fame of the two protagonists.

ah.

"More than a billion? If that's true, that would be great. But Chairman, I heard that the latest movie directed by Zhou Xingxing will also be released during the Spring Festival. I don't know if it will have an impact on our company's movies...

"

Hearing this box office, Wang Baobao's face was filled with joy and he was satisfied.

Looking at the entire mainland, there are only a few movies of this kind at the box office, and they are basically all made by the chairman in front of me.

I just thought that among the films that the company saw about the Spring Festival movies released in mainland China, there was one that people had to be wary of. I looked at Qin Dong with an expression of worry and expectation, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Look at what use I have. The company has also invested in director Zhou's movie. Unless someone changes gears in these two movies, they will inevitably collide... However, both movies are excellent. If the other movies in the Spring Festival period are not completed,

Okay, I guess you will be beaten. Then you will seize the box office of other movies. There is a high probability that you don’t need to worry too much.”

Looking at Wang Baobao's eyes and listening to the other party's words, Qin Dong understood. This was to ask his opinion. After all, Qin Dong's reputation and talent were well known, and his eyes were so accurate.

Qin Dong muttered angrily, but he didn't want to undermine the confidence of the company's artists, so he casually revealed something.

This is also what Qin Dong thinks in his heart.

Whether it's the company's "Chinatown Detective" or Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", they are all wonderful movies, starring Xu Wenfeng. It must be like Mars hitting the earth.

Moreover, both of these movies are considered comedies, but the latter may be a bit scary. Children need to be careful to avoid being scared, but adults still seem very happy.

Two outstanding movies appear during the Spring Festival, the most festive time of the year, and they are both comedies, which are perfect for watching in the New Year atmosphere.

If other movies released at the same time are not outstanding, or if the gap is large, there is a 80% chance that they will become cannon fodder, and it will probably be difficult to get back the money by then.

"If the chairman says so, then I can rest assured. The chairman's vision is obvious to all."

Wang Baobao immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

The box office figures of the movies he stars in are a sign of his worth. If the box office is good, his salary will be high.

Even if you don't appear in other companies' movies, even if you appear in your own company's movies, you must be offered a salary that is in line with Wang Baobao's worth. It is impossible to offer a salary that is lower than the artist's worth just because his own company's artists are. This approach is not in line with the market and is purely unfair.

No stupid entertainment company would destroy its own foundation.

Except for one situation, that is only possible if the artist is a shareholder of the company.

"Go away, don't mess with my character. This thing is equivalent to word of mouth. It is easy to collapse. Being in the spotlight, it is too difficult to maintain it for decades. 90% of artists cannot maintain it."

Qin Dong patted Wang Baobao on the shoulder and lectured him.

In the future, with the advent of a day when everyone has a smartphone, including the elderly, they will read news and watch movies on their mobile phones every day.

At that time, the Internet was developed, and the entertainment industry had artists whose personalities and reputations were ruined. Not every year, it should be said that there were artists every month. They were a constant source of food, and people who watched the news were tired of it.

It's like eating melon every month, but it's still rotten melon. Who can stand this?

In the future entertainment industry, part-time jobs will be a mess. More and more people understand one thing: on the surface, the entertainment industry is a white lotus, but underneath it is...

So the comments that appeared on the Internet started from the beginning: shocked, how could it be possible, it must be fake.

Later: Hey, oh, this star has collapsed, I know, it’s so normal.
