Comeback [entertainment]

Chinese New Year, the first month.

The whole world seems to be immersed in a joyous atmosphere.Annual leave, reunion dinner, bonus, posting pictures of yourself and your friends and family on social media, or summarizing what you have experienced this year.

On New Year's Eve, "Fatal Pursuit" broke through 20 billion at the box office. This family movie with a relaxed style and rigorous plot was well received by domestic audiences.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the crew of "Fatal Pursuit" released a congratulatory Weibo to celebrate the box office exceeding 20 billion. The audience who had watched the movie liked it very much.

[233333 Congratulations to the film studio for its counterattack. I think it only had a box office of 6000 million when it was first released. This is probably the most capable dark horse in the Lunar New Year file, right? ][Raise your hand, here is an Amway for everyone around you, and finally persuaded all colleagues in the department to choose the tap water of "Deadly Pursuit" at the annual meeting event movie party][Same tap water, same company movie party, when leaving the cinema, "Deadly Pursuit" was nearly unanimously acclaimed.But the "Urban Romance" bought by the director of the next department...provoke, I feel sorry for them] [233333 The minister who bought "Urban Romance" must have collected money. It is said that the box office of this movie has been getting lower and lower for several days. It is also very strong to hang on to the schedule! 】【How much is the box office now?Has it broken [-] million? 】

[It’s broken, but wasn’t it picked up to be faked at the box office some time ago?In order to get the box office sold out at midnight every day, tsk tsk tsk... must have lost everything. 】【Who would have thought of it?Before it was released, there were overwhelming advertisements, and the powerful distribution method of Mingcheng Film and Television could not save this bad film... Anyway, the film's unstoppable quality from actor to director was completely shattered in the eyes of me and my friends. .But Famous City is also strange, in the later period, it didn't even continue to post good reviews. Don't you think it's ugly? 】【Come on, I’m still reading good reviews, Mingcheng is too busy to take care of himself now, how can he be willing to spend money to get this for a bad movie...】Zou Min closed the page, and cut back to the call log to take a look at it in a daze .More than a dozen calls to Song Tian were not answered, and five or six calls to previously interested partners were perfunctory and ended within a few minutes. The disastrous failure of "Urban Romance" cast a haze on her reputation as a "new director".It is said that she has a false name, is not worthy of the name, and has a bad movie, as if the failure of this movie is her fault from beginning to end.

Criticism was like a heavy weight weighing on his heart one by one, making Zou Min breathless.She almost lost confidence, and regretted her previous compromise.This is not the first time she has cooperated with Mingcheng, and she has long been aware of the company's style of work. To be honest, she probably predicted that this movie would not be able to be made well when she knew the crew.It's just that Mingcheng's generous remuneration and the condition of agreeing to arrange an important role for Ren Pingsheng, who has no foundation in the film industry, are too attractive.

It doesn't matter, anyway, it's just one time, if it's not good, it's not good, after all, with such a big investment, such a big lineup, I... I still have so many devoted fans.

She comforted herself like this at that time, and then happily took up this burden, seeing that her lover who had been unable to find suitable resources was finally able to show her ambitions.

Ren Pingsheng's gentle smile dazed her head.

There are even a series of backgrounds of the crew from the start-up compiled by loyal fans of "Fatal Pursuit" on the Internet.The word "poor" of this small production is extremely clear. Except for the two leading actors, there are almost no stars in the whole show who really need to pay for the film. There is no money for publicity and hype, so it is released In terms of popularity, it has been stabilized by the "richly funded" "Urban Romance".

But Zou Min can easily see how expensive the props, costumes and filming lineup are in the sorted out photos of the disgraced Reuters crew members.

She felt very at a loss because the film was blocked, and the director Shang Shu, who went overseas to pursue the path of film with difficulty, quickly rose to become an upstart in the industry after this battle. Hongbozhan, who has entered the film industry, has also spread rumors that many big-name directors are interested in him. It was not long before his debut that his main business has always been singing. Now, with his youthful age Early on, he was dubbed a "strength faction" by the film and television music circle.

Everyone is making progress, only you are still stagnating.

The failure of her career made her constantly reflect on her eagerness for quick success, and what made her even more unacceptable was...

A figure was reflected on the computer screen, Zou Min turned his head and looked at Ren Pingsheng who was dressed neatly and was about to go out: "Where are you going?"

Ren Pingsheng smiled softly and said, "I have something to do, go see a friend."

Zou Min was no longer easily confused by such a smile. In fact, after the failure of word-of-mouth for "Urban Romance", she realized that Ren Pingsheng was not as aloof from the world as he had shown.

She is more concerned about another question: "What's the matter? Who do you see? Do I know each other? Male or female?"

Ren Pingsheng was stunned, a little puzzled: "...What's the matter with you recently? Why are you suspicious?"

Zou Min did not answer, watching him leave home in silence.

She found that she gradually began to distrust this man who was so obsessed and admired in the past.

*****

Song Tian who didn't answer her calls for several days was also miserable.

What troubled him was not only the loss of movies and the plummeting of stocks, but the introduction of the new law was a menacing bolt from the blue for him.In the past, the major copyright disputes that the company had accumulated for a long time seemed to recover from the permafrost overnight. The victims who were originally delayed and suppressed by the famous city to give up resistance also lined up to turn over old accounts as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. The legal department received more lawyer letters at the end of the year than in all the past few years combined.

Different from turning a blind eye and laughing it away in the past, who dare not take it seriously in the famous city nowadays?It's okay to send a lawyer's letter. Both parties in the dispute can sit down and communicate with each other, but once they go to court, they will definitely end up dead forever.In the previous music copyright lawsuit with Yuanshang, it was ups and downs with only one, which was enough for the management to be overwhelmed. Now, one, two, three, four, five...

Nearly a hundred complaints were filed, and the scale of the famous city was expanded ten times, and it was absolutely impossible to escape from this huge judicial dispute.

In order to avoid this trouble, the only thing the company can do is to apologize and pay compensation, and dare not bargain lightly, everything is just to appease the victim's emotions.After all, the plan has just been promoted, and it is at the cusp of the storm. The major creative industries are outraged, and they are struggling to find a negative benchmark for demonstration.Once the victims directly make the matter unstoppable, the fate of Mingcheng, which has faced the anger accumulated by the market for decades, will probably be extremely tragic.

Lose money, lose money, lose money, lose money...

To open your eyes is to lose money. 100 million, 200 million, 300 million... 1000 million.

The funds were withdrawn from the book one by one like running water, and coupled with the hundreds of millions of losses from "Urban Romance", the year-end report data of Mingcheng Film and Television for the previous year was very good.Liquidity problems inevitably occurred, stocks continued to fall uncontrollably, market value evaporated, internal crises, and thick blood bars were wiped out by more than half when caught off guard.

The company couldn't even pay dividends to shareholders, and employee bonuses were greatly reduced. There were complaints from top to bottom.

"Song Dong really has a problem. Now he pays a sum of money for a sum of money. Isn't it a problem to do the market earlier and not infringe?"

"Yeah, it's almost like stealing chickens and losing rice. How much money was earned at the beginning, but now it's almost all discounted? Tsk tsk tsk, looking at the situation, our company won't just go bankrupt one day, right?"

"I see Xuan, the year-end bonus was only [-] last year... I have a classmate who works in Four Seas, and his position is about the same as ours. He got this amount last year!"

"Huo! That's really amazing! But we can't compare with Four Seas. After the new law was promoted, so many companies have suffered some lawsuits, so Four Seas didn't get out of nothing, right?"

"Hey—in the final analysis, the boss is not good enough, and his vision is too short."

This group of people talked a lot and were full of interest. In the past, they were used to the company's infringements, but now they saw each other more clearly.

"Dong Song..."

The assistant looked at the boss passing by the tea room in fear, Song Tian's gloomy face made him almost have the perception that the other party would tear this place into pieces in the next second.

But after waiting for a long time, Song Tian did not take any action other than being silent.

It took about 5 minutes before the assistant saw from the corner of his eyes that the pair of legs that seemed to be rooted on the ground moved forward again.

Song Tian walked, his steps were still steady, but only he knew how vain the steps were.

Losing money, indemnity, questioning, and insulting, the belief he has always insisted on seems to be subverted overnight.In order to prevent the victims who sent the lawyer's letter from taking the matter to court, he had to apologize to these little people who he looked down upon in the past one by one. Those issues that were once dismissed are now all related to the future of the famous city. life.Over the years, he seems to have made a lot of money, so much that he can easily invest in the amount equivalent to the entire investment of many movies during hype.

But today, the company is on the verge of collapse of the capital chain.

This Spring Festival, which is celebrated by the whole country, his hair on the temples has been whitened amidst the laughter and laughter everywhere, and his whole body has lost the spirit of his bones, and he has aged more than ten years.

"Dong Song."

The assistant knocked on the door and came in. From the expression on his face, he knew that the news he brought back was not good news.

In the content report of another lawyer's letter sent to the company by the other party, he looked at the beaming message on the screen that had blown all the media's news, "Congratulations to "Fatal Pursuit" for breaking through 20 billion at the box office during the Spring Festival." poster.

Song Tian lit the cigar he had been playing with for a long time, and took a deep breath.

Then from the lung cavity to the spleen and stomach, from the inside out, a strange, deep exhaustion permeated from the bones.

******

"cheers!!!!"

The box office breaking through 20 billion before the end of the theatre, filled every participant in the "Fatal Pursuit" production team from top to bottom with a kind of boiling excitement.

Losing everything and getting rich overnight, the film industry is so scary when taken to extremes. The losers are miserable, while the winners are happy. While the famous city international is in danger, Yuanshang is busy holding a private celebration party with Shangshu and the others.

Shang Shu, a transparent director who was unable to attract investment even with a script, now bears the crown of "20 billion directors" and has become the target of frantic competition from various film and television companies and investors.But Shang Shu, who has never been surrounded by so many job invitations, can no longer get lost in the state of responding to everyone. At his age, he has experienced all the ups and downs. Hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, he is a master of the world who pays homage to Buddhist scriptures.

He was also very disdainful when he mentioned the work that several departments visited to invite him a few days ago.

"I don't want to make any big productions. I use these gimmicks to fool me. I know what they are going to shoot when I look at the cast list and script. I don't even look at what "Urban Romance" is like now? This It’s a lesson learned from the past.” After clinking glasses, Shang Shu yelled at Yuanshang drunkenly, “Anyway, I’m working in your studio, and there are so many film and television companies in China, I can trust you alone!”

Hongbozhan is also quite proud. With the success of "Fatal Pursuit", he has established a relationship with a well-known domestic director. The other party admires him quite a lot. He has already talked about a cooperation, which is still unknown. The small role will be officially announced soon.

Yuan Shang made a lot of money, and at the end of the year, he directly awarded generous bonuses to the students and staff in the studio.Because of this, everyone is very active in their work. The students don't have to worry about the future, and they work harder in their studies. Recently, the performance of several outstanding students who have been focusing on observation has also improved by leaps and bounds.

As well as Yuan Shang's own new album, the progress is also exceptionally smooth. In his opinion, the music in this album is even better than the previous "Beginning".

After all, George Lu's lyrics are better than him, and there are many advantages in the arrangement that can complement his shortcomings. The strength of a strong alliance is definitely beyond the reach of a single outstanding individual.

Yuanshang cherishes this future partner who is even better than he imagined. After all, what the Chinese music scene lacks most nowadays is an old musician with outstanding strength and rich experience like the other party.The litigation process with Universal Music Production Company was quickly put on his agenda. The lawyers of the Four Seas Group are very good, and together with George Lu's well-preserved evidence, with the help of the current new law to promote However, the possibility of winning the lawsuit through judicial procedures is still quite high.

During these days of waiting for his official appearance, George Lu's state became visibly more stable day by day, probably because he finally saw the dawn of his long-cherished wish for many years, and he suddenly calmed down from body to heart.He didn't leave the door, and he didn't ask where the progress of the legal team was. He only devoted himself to arranging the melody of Yuan Shang's new album, and produced one after another old and outstanding masterpieces.

There were demos of a few songs from the new album playing in the music on the earphones. After drinking for three rounds, Yuanshang was immersed in it and shook his head. Qin Huo, who came to pick him up, pulled him into the nanny car and drove away from the commercial street where he had dinner.

The lanes on this road are narrow, so the driver must drive slowly and be cautious.

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the commercial street is full of greenery, and the restaurants hidden in the greenery are full of customers, very lively.

Yuanshang leaned his head against the car window, and suddenly caught sight of a figure from the corner of his eye, subconsciously sat up straight, and looked over there.

By the sidewalk, Ren Pingsheng stepped down from a luxury car, neatly dressed, with clear eyebrows, gentle and soft demeanor, and his signature smile.

Getting out of the driver's seat was a middle-aged woman who looked not young. She could not be called beautiful, but she had the majesty of a superior person in her demeanor.

The two stood together talking, not knowing what the topic was, Ren Pingsheng suddenly showed a bright smile, which made the eyes of the middle-aged woman almost straighten.

The car drove forward slowly, Yuanshang's gaze stayed on that point, and he turned his body slightly as the direction changed, but suddenly caught Zou Min's sharp face from a passing car.

Zou Min's eyes were as bright as torches, and he went straight in the direction of Ren Pingsheng.

Looking at this scene, Yuanshang couldn't help laughing, unlike the clean and pure young man in the past, after so many years, he couldn't figure out what Ren Pingsheng was thinking.

In my memory, the other party seems to be a homosexual through and through, the kind who is more completely bent than myself.

Wouldn't he be in pain now?

Qin Huo leaned forward: "What are you looking at?"

The lover's warm breath sprayed into his ears, and Yuanshang's heart was slightly turbulent and throbbing. He was not interested in the pictures over there, and he didn't really want a cutie like Qin Huo to see those indecent things. , stretched out his hand to support Qin Huo's face and kissed it lovingly, then took off his earphone on one side and stuffed it into the other's ear.

"It's nothing." Yuanshang asked him, "Is the new song nice?"

Qin Huo immersed himself in his sea-like pampering from body to heart, with a little smile in his cold eyes: "It sounds good."

The two of them were head to head, shoulders to shoulders, half of their buttocks left their seats, and half of their bodies were desperately moving towards each other's position.

The wooden assistant who was driving was expressionless listening to the small voices behind him——

Qin Huo: "Wine?"

Yuanshang: "Sweet or not?"

Qin Huo: "Sweet."

Yuan Shang: "Then I will kiss you again."

Me, me, me, tsk tsk tsk...

There was a slight sound of water.

He began to numb fiercely from head to toe, his eyes were fixed, and his heart was bitter.

The days are getting more and more difficult, and he is blinded by various pictures every day.

Recalling the scene when I was pushed away every time I asked my girlfriend for a kiss, and scolded, "Get out of here and make trouble".

He roared ferociously in his heart——

If it wasn't for the generous bonus, do you believe that I would have resigned long ago? !ah? !I resigned a long time ago! !

Then, while roaring, he slowly lowered the curtain of the car window.

Qin Huo nodded in his heart, well, the dog leg is in place, and this month he can raise another five hundred.
