City People [Rebirth]

Chapter 84 Chapter 84

The crew of "A House" chose to shoot in the forest in the northeast of Huaguo.The background of the original script was the cold winter, and the season was just right at this time. Director Lu Song wanted to hurry up and shoot the movie before the winter passed.He likes to pay attention to reality and close to the script in filming. If he can not shoot green screen or simulate indoors, he doesn't like to watch actors wearing cotton jackets to act in winter in summer. He feels uncomfortable watching them.

The cast of "A House" is well assembled, and the scenes are also concentrated. Whether it is props or sets, it is easy to make. Lu Song estimates that as long as these actors do not make mistakes, the filming can be completed in three months.After "One House" announced its launch, Youyu Media Company also held a press conference at the right time, announcing that the newly purchased novel IP will be launched soon.

When Lu Jia heard the news, he knew that You Yu was going to fight against him.

It's a pity that the film project they planned to use to confront each other was a big hole dug for them by Lu Jia.

Because Lu Jia's affairs are on the right track, Lu Jia follows up and pays attention to the progress of Youyu Company with great interest.Probably because of Lu Li's company's "One House" internal audition, Youyu Company's audition this time was also conducted internally.Youyu Company held many auditions in the early years, and now they have started a live broadcast. Many of them have transformed from auditions and live broadcasts into artists. In the end, after the list of actors they decided was announced, it was exactly as Lu Jia remembered. The fans celebrated enthusiastically.

This ip was originally a novel serialized on Wenwen.com. It belonged to the first batch of novels that became popular seven or eight years ago, before online novels became popular. Because of the abusive and sweet plot, how many people have earned enough money? Tears are so popular that whenever there is a tweet, you have to push it. Even after several years, it still has a high status in the online literary world. Unfortunately, many readers say that the novels that the author will write in the future are far from Not as good as the first one.

The copyright of this novel called "Destruction of the Demon World" was very popular two or three years ago, but although it was very popular and there were many companies that expressed their intention to buy it, the original author did not let go. Ken is willing to sell the film and television adaptation rights, until a while ago, it seemed that something happened to the original author's family and he was short of money, so it was revealed that he wanted to sell it.

Under Lu Jia's instruction, the copyright department of Lu Li's company was naturally the first to approach him.With such a hot ip, other companies have been eyeing it for a long time. Even if Youyu Company didn't want to compete with Lu Li Company, they would come forward and ask, but they won't be as firm as they are now.What the original author wants now is money, and whoever bids the most will sell it to whichever company. In the end, Youyu Company will become the ultimate winner.

Because of the subject matter, adapting it into a TV series is not as profitable as adapting it into a movie, so Youyu Company plans to release the movie version first, so that it can save a lot of money by inviting their own Xiaohuadan Xiaosheng.They were intensively filming, and they made up their minds to release it at the same time as Lu Li's "A House" to crowd out its box office.

Yuyu Company's calculations are very good. Lu Song, the director of "A House", mainly earns word-of-mouth and awards. The schedules he can get for his films are generally not satisfactory. If the box office can pay off, the production company will be satisfied. "Destruction of the Demon Realm" is different. It combines fantasy, love, special effects and other hot elements, and it is going to be released in the prime time of May Day. But Youyu Company found out that "A House" will also be released at this time.When the time comes, the schedule will crush the schedule, and the box office will crush the box office. You can add as much bets as you can.

In terms of business, Yuyu itself is also very optimistic about the box office of "Shattering the Demon World".After the premiere and media screening, the feedback from both the media and fans was very good, so although the production team of "Destroy the Demon World" was still a little apprehensive, they still waited for the [-] o'clock with confidence. Box office analysis structure Passed over the first day box office.

After twelve o'clock, Lu Jia's phone vibrated.Lu Jia opened his eyes, let go of Zhou Heyi who was in his arms, and took out the phone with one hand.The sudden brightness of the screen made him squint his eyes, but even so, he operated the phone to open the box office list, found the data of "Shattering the Demon World" and read it.

There is no difference from the previous life, so the people from Youyu Company must not be able to sleep well tonight.

Lu Jia threw away the phone and hugged Zhou Heyi again.Zhou Heyi muttered in shock, but she didn't wake up, and put her hand on Lu Jia's shoulder again.

As his eyes gradually adapted to the dark night, Lu Jia could see the outlines of objects before his eyes.Although the face of the big baby in his arms could not be seen clearly, he must have slept soundly.Lu Jia kissed his forehead and fell asleep again.

……

"What, only 3000 million!"

The director of "Destroy the Demon World" turned pale.

The box office of 3000 million on the first day cannot be said to be bad, but the investment in this movie must be too low.The original author was extremely short of money, and the copyright of the film was bundled with the copyright of the TV series, which sold a total of 500 million yuan. And because the background of the original drama took place in the demon world where passers-by are all good-looking, the producer wanted to attract a lot of beautiful people. Fan, in this movie, even a passer-by has a good appearance, and the male and female leading actors are the most popular actors in Youyu Media Company. The cost of special effects, the box office of 3000 million on the first day is not a good start at all.

When the chairman of Youyu Company knew about it the next day, he was also unsightly.The failure of a movie is nothing to him, but the key is that the IP was snatched from Lu Li's company. He felt that at this moment, the young president of Lu Li's company was probably laughing at him.

That's right, Lu Jia was laughing at him. The box office of "Destroying the Demon World" was not eye-catching in the first week, and the subsequent box office continued to drop, which failed the good schedule specially arranged by Youyu Company.Not only did they fail at the box office, but their word of mouth also failed. Even fans who rushed to watch the movie with their idols couldn't comfort themselves that it was a good movie.

"They thought it wrong. The original book was the most popular seven or eight years ago. At that time, the subject matter was the most novel. But now, even old fans can't read it again. Youyu only cares about evaluating IP. value and potential audience, without considering the actual content of the script. As a result, the film produced has an old-fashioned plot, awkward dialogue, and even special effects that look like five-cent special effects. Some of the actors they selected with good looks are still The vase stuffed by investors, this performance on the big screen is really embarrassing."

Lu Jia said to Zhou Heyi.Lu Jia came back to express his thoughts after going to see the movie.He originally wanted to go with Zhou Heyi, but Zhou Heyi first found the original novel to read, and after reading a few pages, he was overwhelmed by Su. He couldn't stand this kind of plot of "you are the most beautiful and everyone loves you".

Lu Jia had no choice but to go to the cinema lonely and force himself to eat the movie.When he went, it was still the first week of the film's release, and the cinema hall was still half full.Lu Jia couldn't sit still looking at it, couldn't help but observe others, only to see that even girls couldn't help frowning, especially the white lotus heroine who always said "I'm sorry" to the male partner, but she just didn't When rejecting others but hanging on, the sneer of the girls in the front row came to the back.

How should I put it, the box office failure of "Destruction of the Demon World" is also multi-factorial, but the most important point is that the screenwriter and adaptation did not grasp the balance between the original drama and the current popular selling point.Seven or eight years ago, the popular white lotus heroine, with a weak and kind personality, always did wrong things to provoke the heroine and all the supporting actors to wipe their butts, but now the white lotus has a different meaning. When the master is put on the big screen, the audience below can only wish to beat her to death.

The original novel is a heroine novel, in which the heroine and all the supporting actors love her, and when reading the novel, she can substitute herself into the heroine, and feel complacent, but it will be different when it is put on the big screen. The heroine who is useless to cause trouble, let the handsome guys including her own idol break her body and mind, and she is not good. The heroine is happy, but the idol is dead!These fans came here because of idols. As for the heroine, she is a newcomer. I heard that she has something to do with the investor. She has a pure face, but during the filming period, there were many bad rumors about her.

The acting skills of the male actors are not outstanding enough, it is difficult for fans to really regard them as the characters in the play, so they were so aggrieved after watching this movie, so many outstanding handsome guys fell in love with a silly, white and sweet female lead, and finally died For the most part, this anger has been suppressed all the time, and they only burst out after watching the movie.

"The female lead is brainless, the male lead is blind, the screenwriter is going to die, take my idol away, and cry!"

"I hate scum the most in my life. I didn't feel it when I read novels before. Why do I hate the heroine so much now!"

"True fans, please don't watch this movie! You will be pissed off after watching it! What did the screenwriter think? Our family xx is so good, how could he let him be so miserable! The key point is that I can't sympathize with my family xx after watching it Now, I didn't want xx to fall in love before, but now I just want to say, don't find someone like the heroine, do whatever else you want!"

"..."

Comments like these quickly flooded social networking sites and movie review sites.Various marketing accounts also began to write jokes and make videos, summarizing the essence, and then other people watched it, thinking that just watching this clip would make them angry, so of course they would not dare to go to the movie to seek guilt.Therefore, the later the trend of "Shattering the Demon World" became more and more uncomfortable for the crew, they had to end the screening early.

At the same time, due to editing reasons, the film "A House", which was finally scheduled for June [-]st, also held its premiere and media screening at the same time.

The author has something to say: The presence of the male lead in these chapters is relatively low, I don’t know if you mind or not~
