Disaster Artist

…"Here we come", "Keep quiet", "Shhh"!

Xiu Zhongjun pushed open the door of the office, there was a rustle of restlessness, and then he could see the scene of everyone sitting and busy working. It was a normal Monday without any abnormalities.

However, the gaze wandering inadvertently, unable to bear to explore but had to control his tense shoulders, obviously concentrating on work but the computer screen is blank, just staring and busying there...

There was a wave of uneasiness in the air, and there was a feeling that the building was about to collapse.

"President Xiu."

"Mr. Xiu, good morning."

One or two greeted Xiu Zhongjun politely, and watched Xiu Zhongjun go to the office. He could vaguely notice that he was observing Xiu Zhongjun's expression from the corner of his eyes. There was no way to tell what he was thinking.

Seeing that Xiu Zhongjun was about to enter the office, he could feel that the staff on the entire floor were holding their breath, as if shooting a movie, with a comic effect, but Xiu Zhongjun retreated back again.

Swishling, the gaze gathered on Xiu Zhongjun quickly retracted, like coal **** fleeing around after being alarmed in "Spirited Away", there was a burst of chaos, and a faint restlessness surged in the air.

One or two pretended to be busy, but they couldn't concentrate at all. The more they tried to cover up, the more flustered they became. The beating heart almost rushed out of the throat, and the stomach began to churn.

Snapped.

Xiu Zhongjun directly pressed the phone on the landline, and at a glance he saw that there was no one on the other end of the phone of the staff who was pretending to be on the phone.

Then, Xiu Zhongjun grabbed the newspaper that was hidden under a thick pile of documents on the desktop but still exposed a corner. It was the latest issue of "Lanchuan Daily", and he could even feel the smell of ink.

"Lu Qian, a genius, or a lunatic?

——The success of "City of Falling Stars" was a failure for Lu Qian"

The headlines on the front page, the huge and eye-catching fonts have a strong visual impact, uncover the tip of the iceberg, and spy on the controversy surrounding Lu Qian in the Lanchuan industry.

Perhaps, the opening weekend box office of "Starfall City" is far from a failure, but it is not a success either. At this time, it can be seen that countless people in Lanchuan are waiting for Lu Qian's failure, raising their hands We are looking forward to the stumble of this mighty young director.

Whether it's jealousy or hatred, they just want to see how Lu Qian hits a wall.

It's not just a theater alliance.

"President Xiu!"

The staff member panicked, and called out with a slightly trembling voice, trying to take back the newspaper, but didn't dare to **** it from Xiu Zhongjun's hand, and called out pitifully, almost crying.

Xiu Zhongjun didn't speak, and quickly scanned some articles on the front page with lowered eyes—

You have to turn to the sixth page to read the full version, and the one on the front page is just the first part.

There was a faint commotion on the floor, and then the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Qu Yushi walked out quickly with a nervous face, and raised his voice to call out.

As a result, Xiu Zhongjun raised his head and glanced at Qu Yushi, who immediately swallowed all of Qu Yushi's words, and even stopped in his footsteps.

Qu Yushi's stop made the air on the entire floor slowly condense, and the figures in the conference room who wanted to come out retreated back one after another.

Suddenly, Xiu Zhongjun raised his head, turned around to look at the whole floor, held up the newspaper in his hand, everyone averted his gaze, and fell down in a blink of an eye, without a sound.

"Aren't you so foolish as to think that only you can see the news and I am kept in the dark? Even if I hide it now, I will know it in the end. What are you trying to hide here?"

"Still, you follow the trend in the same ignorance as these media, saying that wind is rain, not to mention that our premiere box office data is very good, even if it does not meet expectations, you should have some confidence."

"You should read these media reports, and you should also listen to those industry rumors, and then you will know how ridiculous and sad they are."

"We took 400 million box office at the opening weekend, and we won the Golden Kite Award. Now we have completely refreshed the box office records of the award-winning works of the three major film festivals. From any angle, we have won a big victory. There is nothing to worry about. Lost, but they couldn't wait to celebrate."

"Why?"

"Because of our strength, because their rotten old guys are starting to be afraid, they even need to celebrate such a small victory, because they know that this is the best result."

"The five major theaters sanctioned us, and so many competitors competed in the market at the same time, but we still handed in a perfect answer sheet. This is what they call the best result that sanctions can get."

"Those celebrations and these articles just show that they are all scared."

"So, we don't need to panic, and we don't need to keep a low profile, blame ourselves, or worry. Everything shows our success."

Crackling, gusts of wind and rain, Xiu Zhongjun's words swept the audience like this, and it was obvious that the dark clouds over the office were dissipating bit by bit, and he regained his confidence.

However, there is still hesitation in their eyes—

Really?

Is it really that simple?

Blue Whale Films is now besieged on all sides, from the sanction of the theater alliance to the encirclement and suppression of competitors to the crowding out of the competition during the awards season, it can be felt that the barriers are being closed bit by bit.

】

Indeed, as Xiu Zhongjun said, from any point of view, it cannot be said that "City of Starfall" has failed, but such "success" is not enough for them to break through the siege.

What they need now is a "Deadpool"-style victory to break through the encirclement, but the performance of 400 million in the opening weekend is far from enough.

This is the first time that UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has been in such a predicament in the years since Blue Whale Films was founded.

One step at a time, the sense of crisis pervades the entire office building, and different departments and levels can deeply feel the storm.

Although Xiu Zhongjun's words made everyone jump out of their own positions and switch perspectives, and felt a little comforted in their hearts; but from another perspective, does it mean that Xiu Zhongjun's rare public speech also means that he feels pressure?

In the capital game of Lanchuan, Blue Whale Pictures still has too few bargaining chips. Seeing that "City of Starfall" has been suppressed and failed to create a miracle, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future, so what should we do next?

Should Blue Whale Films bow to the theater alliance and abandon the plan of simultaneous streaming and theater releases?

Next, does this mean that their strategy of developing a streaming media platform has encountered a frontal sniper, and all previous foreshadowing and efforts have encountered a wall, so that their overall deployment may be invalidated, and may even trigger a domino effect?

Once they start to back down, will it be the beginning of losing ground?
