Chapter 244 Box Office Poison - Wang Naien

"Next, please—"

Chen Ronghua paused at this point, and then said loudly, "The most popular actress——Liu Xuan!!!"

"It's her?!" The reporters in the audience exclaimed.

Over the years, Hua Guo has been one of the most popular actresses. Currently, there are very few actresses in Hua Guo who have been nominated for Oscars!

Bai Sitang looked in surprise at this woman who was over 30 years old, but still had a charming face like a 20-year-old girl's, yet she showed intellectual beauty.

He smiled and said, "This lineup is quite luxurious. Liu Xuan's appearance fee should have exceeded 2000 million Chinese dollars."

Yan Xing also paid attention to these, nodded in surprise and praised
"That's right, one of the actresses with the highest performance fees in Huaguo, plus Chen Jie, director Chen Ronghua... the total will exceed 5000 million!"

Lu Tao suddenly said, "So, it shouldn't be simply following the trend." He showed a serious look.

and compare to them...

The audience, who were feeling bored, suddenly saw Liu Xuan's appearance, and instantly cheered up!
This woman, known as the Goddess of the People in Huaguo, has huge popularity in Huaguo. Before Bai Sitang appeared, she was the record holder with the most 5000 million Twitter followers!

After a short self-introduction...

Wu Longji stepped forward again and began to tell some interesting stories about "Extreme Magic", although he never mentioned the production cost.

However, judging from the appearance of these three heavyweights, the production cost of hundreds of millions should be true... but [-] million is also hundreds of millions...

Finally, during the reporter's question session...

A female reporter from Qiandu Video Network bluntly asked
"Excuse me, Mr. Wu, what do you think of 'You Now You See Me'?"

The air at the scene seemed to freeze suddenly... Although the 'Extreme Magic' claimed to be prepared three years ago, no one would believe his words.

After all, it's 'You Now You See Me' that's leading the way, no matter how you look at it, it means to follow suit, although 'You Now You See Me' hasn't started production yet...

When Bai Sitang saw the familiar girl reporter, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, to see how Wu Longji would answer.

Faced with the sudden questioning, Wu Longji remained calm, and replied confidently with a little arrogance:
"'Extreme Magic' has a story that took three years to prepare, plus our Huaguo's most powerful director Chen Ronghua and actor Chen Jie, Huaguo's popular goddess Liu Xuan and Shangxuelang Entertainment's strong strength."

"We are determined to produce a work that will shock the world! What suspense is there in this ending?!"

He didn't mention the word 'You Now You See Me', but boasted about 'Extreme Magic', but judging from his last sentence.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are targeting the 'Sedum Demon Thieves'!
"Hehe——you said the same thing last time..." Bai Sitang said provocatively.

Lu Tao knows that Bai Sitang will talk about the confrontation between "Genesis" and "Doraemon"... Then he said
"That's what he said last time~"

Yan Xing looked helpless on the side, shrugged slightly and said, "A giant beast in the deep sea? I heard that Wang Naien's life is not easy now..."

Wang Naien and Chen Jie are the same age, and entered the showbiz at the same time. For a long time, Chen Jie could only watch Wang Naien's back silently from behind...

Until the appearance of the 'deep sea behemoth'!Wang Naien, who was originally the most popular in China, suddenly encountered Waterloo, and even won the Sour Plum Award...

This is definitely not a good title. It should be said that it is the award that Huaguo actors least expect to get. Getting this means that I have become the worst actor of the year...

Wang Naien, who was in the limelight, faced a sudden blow, eager to reverse the unfavorable situation, and received 2 films hastily.

Hoping to turn things around in one fell swoop...

The result made things even worse. A few years later... Now that Wang Naien is notorious and has become a well-known box office poison in Huaguo, he can only play cameo roles in some low-budget movies.

When Bai Sitang heard Yan Xing suddenly mentioning Wang Naien, his eyes lit up, the image of the hypnotist overlapped with Wang Naien's, and they were strikingly similar.

Moreover, the background story of the hypnotist in the film is also that he fell from a high place to a low point in life...

"Not bad! Thank you for reminding me."

Seeing Bai Sitang's excited expression, Yan Xing suddenly thought of something and wished he could slap himself in the face.

He hurriedly said, "No! Director Bai, Wang Naien is now a well-known box office poison in Huaguo. Many people don't want to go into the theater when they see his name."

Lu Tao also interrupted and said
"Wang Nai'en is really in decline right now, so it's not appropriate to invite him here. Compared with 'Extreme Magic' at that time, I feel very weak."

Hearing the persuasion of the two, Bai Sitang said, "How much is Wang Naien's appearance fee now?"

Although Yan Xing didn't want to answer, but when Bai Sitang asked this question, he couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to say:
"It used to be quite high, at most ten million, but now... he is willing to pay for your name for free. It is estimated that at most one million can be done."

"It's really cheap... It's hard to imagine that such a good actor was given away by Wu Longji. We should give him a chance"

Bai Sitang stroked his chin and said solemnly.

"..." Several people around looked at Bai Sitang speechlessly.

After the 'Extreme Magic' press conference, not only the forum that had just been established was boiling, but fans of Chen Ronghua, Chen Jie, and Liu Xuan were also boiling.

Wu Longji's ability to draw big cakes has obviously reached perfection, and those who understand "extreme magic" have already begun to look forward to it.

Even the 'Now You See Me' forum has many topics related to 'Extreme Magic', but apparently there are many contradictions...

Wu Longji's phrase "what's the suspense about the result?" Chi Guoguo's discrimination against "Now You See Me" aroused their dissatisfaction.

Although Bai Sitang likes to browse forums when he is fine, but it is not today, nor is it now!

Now he needs to do another thing that seems incomprehensible to ordinary people. Although Yan Xing and others try their best to dissuade him, they still haven't convinced him.

Wang Nai'en's image and temperament are indeed in line with the hypnotist he set up.

And...Use an actor who was ruined by Wu Longji to make him rise again!This pleasure is absolutely extreme!

"Hey, brother, I've already inquired about it."

Bai Sitang heard Bai Bing's crisp voice saying, "How is it? Where is he now?"

"Wang Nai-en seems to have terminated the contract with Snow Wolf Entertainment. Some time ago, they had a conflict. I heard that it was because Snow Wolf Entertainment squeezed Wang Nai-en. Wang Nai-en couldn't bear it and finally couldn't mediate and terminate the contract. However, because of Snow Wolf's strength, this matter was suppressed. !"

"Really?!" Bai Sitang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and a few words suddenly appeared in his heart...

【The down-and-out well-known actor was oppressed and forced to leave...Bai Sitang stood up and brought new hope to the down-and-out people! 】
