The straight man of steel in the entertainment industry

A group of girls from the crew gathered together and began to chatter.

"Chen Qingqing, you played Chen Nian really well!"

"Yeah, I'm crying."

"You guys did a good job too. Ruo Bing's Hu Xiaodie is unforgettable, and Ji Yi also did a good job. I'm afraid she's going to become a classic villain."

"Qin Zhensheng, your role as a police officer is not bad either. The struggle between love and law has been staged."

"It's all thanks to Director Lin."

"Hey, when it comes to director Lin Li, his acting skills are amazing."

"Don't talk about it, I want a boy like Director Lin to protect me. I can be a housewife."

"Yeah, Lin Li is really handsome in the movie!"

"What, he's handsome in real life too."

"Hey, Ye Lin, what you said... do you have any thoughts about our Director Lin?"

"Sister Liu Chun, don't talk nonsense, Director Lin doesn't like me."

"Hey, didn't director Lin Li say on stage today, he is someone we will never get, don't think too much."

"But I think Lin Li and Chen Qingqing have a strong sense of CP in the movie, and I'm about to become a CP fan of both of them."

"I think it would have been nice if Hu Xiaodie had met Xiaobei earlier, so she wouldn't have committed suicide."

"That said, it seems that Wu Ruobing and Lin Li are quite a good match, childhood sweethearts, if they really get together, that would be a good story."

…………

Lin Li didn't have time to participate in their topics, so he quietly checked the trending searches on Weibo.

The news of Internet celebrity Ye Zhiyong's suicide is still the top search.

Lin Li was a little surprised. In this age of information development, the attention of netizens will soon be attracted by other fresh events.

Once the discussion rate drops, the number one in the hot search will be replaced.

Generally speaking, unless it is a particularly important event, some ordinary entertainment news and social news, it is not bad to stay at the top of the hot search for two or three hours.

But it's been a long time, and this news is still the first. I really don't know how much Chen Qingqing spent to stabilize this trending search.

However, this trending search is indeed highly discussed on the Internet. Many media and big Vs have begun to discuss it, and even some official media have also spoken.

And as this incident spread, the popularity of the movie "Youth in Youth" also rose.

"Hey, everyone, watch it, several theaters have started to add more shows to our movie!"

Chen Qingqing bought a hot search, so she naturally paid special attention to the reactions from all walks of life brought about by this hot search. While chatting with everyone, she kept holding her mobile phone to check the movie theater schedule.

The matter of Ye Zhiyong’s suicide due to campus bullying has been on the hot search for so long, and it has been so popular on the Internet. It also has a great impact on the popularity of the movie "Youth in Youth". After the premiere, a wave of ticket purchases erupted online.

A lot of tickets for "Youth in Youth" scheduled for tomorrow have been sold out, which has affected the various theaters to add more films to "Youth in Youth".

After hearing what Chen Qingqing said, everyone immediately moved over and looked at it.

In addition to Huaxia Cinemas and Zhuda Cinemas, more than a dozen other theaters have more or less added screenings to the film "Youth in Youth".

"Wow, I watched it in the morning, our schedule was only 10, and now it's over 15!" Wu Ruobing said excitedly.

"It's over 15? That's not bad. After the movie airs tomorrow, word of mouth will ferment, and we can break 20." Liu Chun said.

"The film schedule for "Extinction" has dropped. It was almost 30 this morning, and now it's only 25." Chen Qingqing laughed.

In the "Extinction" movie, there were too many stars, everyone present, except Chen Qingqing and Wu Ruobing, seemed to know that this was very sensitive, so they didn't respond.

"It seems that the two largest theaters didn't give us more shows." Qin Zhensheng said.

"The two largest theater chains are Zhu Da Cinema and Huaxia Cinema. If they add more shows to us, our film schedule can be greatly improved."

"Yeah, I don't understand. Others have seen that our movie is doing well, and they have added more shows for us. Why are they indifferent?"

"The pre-screening of both of them is full, and there are no extra scenes to add, and I heard that "Extinction" gave them 4 extra points, so they will naturally tilt the lineup to "Extinction"." Song Wenjie Said that she had inquired clearly about this aspect.

"4 dots? This... I'm really willing to bleed."

"Yeah, 10 billion box office, 4 million will be distributed!"

Lin Li smiled and said, "Damn them!"

According to the rules of the film industry, the box office of a movie must be more than three times the investment in order to make money, because half of the box office is distributed to the theaters, and there are some taxes.

"Extinction" claims to have an investment of 4 million yuan, even if it is exaggerated, but with such a large number of stars, the investment in the entire movie will not be less than 3 million yuan. According to this calculation, "Extinction" will need at least 10 billion at the box office to make money .

Although "Extinction" has the most luxurious star lineup in the summer, but from Lin Li's point of view, Guo Xiaoshan's movie will take a box office of 10 billion, which is simply a dream.

Don't look at Guo Xiaoshan's first movie with a box office of 25 billion, the second movie with a box office of 265 billion, the third movie with a box office of 42 billion, and the fourth movie with a box office of 45 billion. It seems that one box office is higher than the other, but his first The second film has been filmed for 10 years, and the third and fourth films have only been released in the past two years.

For so long, movie tickets have more than doubled. In other words, the number of people watching Guo Xiaoshan's movies has not increased, and has even been decreasing.

Moreover, none of the ratings of these movies passed the mark. Guo Xiaoshan's reputation has been completely ruined by these movies, and he still wants to use star power to make money, which has long since failed.

The most important thing is that for the movie "Extinction", Lin Li knows that this movie is not worth watching just by watching the trailer. It is mainly a CG movie, but the characters made by the CG effect are too stiff, which is not as good as some excellent domestic cartoons.

The trailer is like this, can you still watch the feature film?

At this time, in order to compete for the film, "Extinction" also took the initiative to give the theaters a share, which could only make them lose more in the end.

In comparison, the investment in "Youth in Youth" is only 5000 million, that is, as long as the box office reaches 15 billion, Lin Li will be able to earn money.

The reason why the investment in "Youth in Youth" is so small is because all the actors gave Lin Li a discounted price, and he and Wu Ruobing starred for free, which saved a lot of money. There was very little post-production work, and there was no publicity. Such a movie can be made with 5000 million yuan.

Although Chen Qingqing also said that she would act for free, Lin Li still paid her the normal market price.

But this hot search lasted for so long, Lin Li guessed that Chen Qingqing also spent all the salary he gave her on it. After all, Chen Qingqing also starred for free, and her money was used for publicity.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Li felt a little sorry. Wu Ruobing was free. After all, she grew up with him and it was her first time making a movie. It's over, if Wu Ruobing needs help, Lin Li has nothing to say.

But Chen Qingqing is different, she doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, and Chen Qingqing spent nearly two months filming this movie, and sacrificed a head of hair, how could Lin Li have the nerve to let her pay nothing?

But if he wants to pay Chen Qingqing again, there is no reason for him.

Chen Qingqing had long said that she bought Hot Search for the sake of justice in her heart, but not for the movie. What reason does Lin Li have to pay her back for the movie?

Seeing Chen Qingqing chatting with a group of actors from a distance, her smile was so bright, her eyes so moving, Lin Li suddenly remembered the words Xiao Bei said in his movie.
