The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

In any case, "Want to watch" is the audience's self-choice after all. Even if the crew of "Gun God" or "Ancient Sword" want to tamper with the data, the ticket sellers and theaters may not be happy.

After all, the box office results are bought by the audience one ticket at a time, and the audience's choice is approximately equal to the theater's choice.

This is also an area where the few audiences in the entertainment industry choose to replace capital.

Variety shows falsify the number of broadcasts, TV dramas are flooded, and the talent show is "discussed" by major companies and organizers... Although this is not an exception, the audience has had enough of being coerced by capital.

Relatively speaking, movies are more free.

Even if the capital spends a lot of money to invite the most expensive actors, make the coolest special effects, and occupy more than 50% of the film schedule, the final return of the movie still falls on the audience.

If the movie is not good-looking, it can cheat the box office for a day or two at most, but it will still be completely abandoned by the audience in the end.

Gu Yu was also surprised when he saw the number of people who "wanted to see" "1912": "Why are there so many?"

"Because everyone believes in you." Ning Chuan handed Gu Yu a glass of juice, "I ordered it too, and I'll go buy tickets when the pre-sale officially opens."

Gu Yu glanced at him: "I have a few tickets for the premiere, do you want to go see it?"

"Okay." Ning Chuan's eyes lit up, "But I may have a job during the Spring Festival this year, and I'm worried that I won't be able to go there. Tickets for the premiere should be very popular, right?"

Gu Yu nodded: "There are indeed many people who want it."

"I'll ask my agent to help me adjust later, are you going?" Ning Chuan asked the others.

During the promotion period of "1912", Gu Yu rarely had time to relax.

In fact, because the number of people who "wanted to see" "1912" far exceeded expectations, the crew was much more relaxed. When Fei Tao contacted Gu Yu, his tone was not so sad.

"The movies you made before are all good-looking. If it were me, I would choose actors I believe in." Xia Qiyu glanced at Gu Yu, "Isn't this a normal thing?"

Gu Yu shrugged: "I'm more used to being doubted."

"This is the fate of a handsome guy." Xu Le patted Gu Yu on the shoulder, "Look at you, you have filmed so many scenes, and you have won a few Maple Leaf Awards. Don't people still think that you rely on your face?"

"There are a lot of idiots, I've never doubted that." Ning Chuan sighed, "Sometimes I really want to tell them to scold others instead of staring at us."

"It's you, not you." Xu Le corrected him.

"It's you, not you." Xia Qi and Li Xiaozhuan added together.

Not long after New Year's Day, and this year is coming to an end, Gu Yu and his friends don't have much time to get together, just like this time, although everyone made an appointment in advance, Yi Xiao and Liang Yuhuan still didn't come because of work .

Gu Yu herself is getting busier and busier.

Before the end of the year, he could occasionally participate in various activities held by satellite TV and platforms, but in the past two years, he was either filming a film or promoting a movie, and it was difficult to relax during the end of the year.

After all, there are only a few important time points for the release of movies, and they are basically chosen when ordinary people are on vacation. Others can relax, but Gu Yu has to get busy.

"Is this the price of being popular?" Li Xiaozhuan smiled slightly, "This kind of life is not bad, although it is busy, it is simple."

"That's true." Gu Yu took a sip of the soda, the weather was already cold, and it became even colder after drinking it.

As long as Fang Jun pushes away all the messy social activities during filming, during the promotion period of the film, Gu Yu has to obey the crew's arrangement, especially for a movie like "1912" that can pay for death, the crew can't wait to squeeze it out. Gu Yu took the last breath of energy.

Gu Yu still remembers her life in Xingyu.

—doesn't seem to be doing anything, but everything is a mess.

Giving platforms for micro-businesses, exhibitions, performances, calling shows, variety shows... In Gu Yu's career, he rarely does so many things at once.

There are many activities that Gu Yu has never even heard of, and he does not know what the significance of these activities are, it is a waste of time.

So he also understands why some idols are "disqualified".

How can idols themselves like an event that even fans don't like?But if you don't participate in these activities, the only ending is to pick your feet at home, so you might as well have some fun for yourself.

……

Slowly, the temperature in City S dropped below zero, and the Spring Festival was slowly approaching.

Last Spring Festival, Gu Yu spent time on the set of "1912", and saw the sky full of fireworks in S City in the group.

This year, although there is no filming, Gu Yu's Spring Festival is still not free, and he still belongs to the "1912" crew.

The director couldn't take it anymore, he complained to Gu Yu: "If the box office doesn't go up, won't it be a disappointment for my two Spring Festivals?"

"Yeah." Gu Yu sighed, "That's not worth it."

Gu Yu asked Fang Jun to prepare red envelopes and New Year's gifts for the studio's friends in advance, including "1912" theater partners and media reporters... This is an annual practice. As Gu Yu's career continues to rise, The amount of red envelopes he gave was getting bigger and bigger.

Fang Jun received a huge red envelope.

The agent looked puzzled: "Why do you give so much?"

"Then you give me back half of it." Gu Yu said that he refused to admit defeat at all.

The reason is simple - he won the Maple Leaf Award this year, and the studio hired more assistants for him. Even though he has been on the set all year round, he knows that this year's workload will inevitably be much more than in previous years, let alone "Lame" That sort of thing.

Gu Yu is not short of money, and he doesn't want to treat those who have been helping him badly.

The agent looked at the numbers on the bank card and showed a happy expression: "One for you, one for Yan Xiu, plus this year's year-end bonus, it's enough for me to buy another house."

Gu Yu: "...Why do I think you make more money than me?"

He knew that the agent had a lot of houses under his name, and Gu Yu was not very interested in these, but occasionally he would listen to the agent's bragging.

But the year-end bonus plus the year-end red envelope can buy a house in a place like S City where every inch of land is expensive. Fang Jun's annual income still far exceeds Gu Yu's expectations.

"Our studio is already very profitable, okay?" Fang Jun frowned, "What misunderstanding do you have about our income?"

Needless to say, Zhao Hang, Yan Xiu's performances in the past two years are not as good as before, but his net worth has not dropped, and he also has a lot of endorsements. The other party still has some investments outside, and his income is more than that of Gu Yu.

Gu Yu's main reason is that the salary share is relatively high. Several movies he acted in have exploded. If the film salary is divided into models, he can get a share of it.

Fang Jun was busy in front of the computer for a while, and after a while, he handed Gu Yu a few pieces of paper: "Look at your income this year, I didn't count some of it."

When Gu Yu participated in the activities organized by the government, the government would also give some symbolic remuneration, but it was not high. There were also some human relations activities, and the quotations from the other party were also very low.

For example, the remuneration of "Warm Day" and the variety shows that Gu Yu participated in during the promotion period of "1912", the remuneration quoted by the guests of the program will naturally not be low, but the purpose of those programs is to promote "1912". The crew knew it well, it was good for the crew not to pay, and it was even more impossible for the crew to open their mouths.

Fang Jun didn't count these incomes, and Gu Yu's income was still two yuan - one was the film salary, and the other was the endorsement.

"The Maple Leaf Award also has a bonus, and I'll count it in for you." Fang Jun smiled slightly, "That can be regarded as your best income this year."

— although the bonus itself is also negligible.

Gu Yu's salary this year is mainly "1912", the second part of "Tianji" and Yan Xiu's new film. The latter is a symbolic income. If the box office is good, Gu Yu's income can increase a lot.

The salary of "1912" is the big one, and the second part of "Tianji" is also a model of split plus salary, and the crew also paid a lot.

In terms of endorsements, Gu Yu didn't add many new endorsements this year, but he renewed his contract with several brands, and the renewal fee increased a little.

Gu Yu glanced at the final figure, Fang Jun gave him a record of more than 7000 million, deducting a part of the studio and a part for the agent, looking at the entire entertainment industry, Gu Yu is actually considered a high-income group.

Popular stars who have more business and more popular searches than him, a large part of their income from opening a studio is to provide the operating costs of the studio, and there are not many circles that pay more than him.

What Gu Yu was referring to was the group who really depended on their salary for a living.

Those who don't rely on paychecks are rich everywhere. Some celebrities can accept double-digit variety shows a year. Even if they only pay 1000 million for a show, it is enough to make the other party's worth far surpass Gu Yu.

But Gu Yu didn't intend to compare with the other party in this respect.

If he is willing to participate in variety shows, the show crew will offer him a high price, but Gu Yu is not happy.

Variety shows are not his job after all, and it is okay to participate occasionally, but it is meaningless to regard it as the main business.

He also wants to continue to expand his territory in the film industry, accept more good scripts, and play more good roles.

——He is the one who wants to leave his name in film history.

The most important thing is that Gu Yu doesn't know how to spend so much money, he doesn't have so many desires, and he doesn't have many hobbies, so there are only a few expenses.

He feels that he is in the best state now, he can pick up good notebooks, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have good notebooks, if he is really short of money someday, among other things, his Maple Leaf Award trophy will definitely be exchanged for money.

"Should I also buy a suite?" Gu Yu asked Fang Jun, "Or invest in a movie?"

"You really want to buy it, I'll help you find it later." The agent glanced at Gu Yu, "Movie investment is not that easy, and the possibility of being scammed is high."

"I know." Gu Yu sighed leisurely, "Forget it, let's deposit it in the bank."

Fang Jun: "...Is this the lifestyle of the elderly?"

"Then what can I do? Buy a car?" Gu Yu counted on his fingers, "Buy luxury goods?"

"It's better to exchange this money for a vacation." Fang Jun frowned, "When "1912" is released, I guess the second part of "Tianji" will also be released, so you can choose the script carefully, and rest if there is no suitable one. .”

Gu Yu: "You won't let me make money?"

"Don't you think it's a bit too much this year? It's best not to have more than three films a year, it's too depressing to join the group seamlessly." Fang Jun stared at Gu Yu, "This is my suggestion to you, don't you Must accept."

"I accept!" Gu Yu said with a smile, "How can you not want something like a holiday?"

My own agent is simply too caring.
