The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

Fang Jun pointed to the stack of documents: "It's all invitations sent in the past two days. The box office of "Idol" is very good, after all."

Gu Yu frowned slightly: "It's all these two days?"

"Hmm." Fang Jun sat next to Gu Yu, gnawing on the pineapple he had peeled before, "These people in the entertainment industry are much better at adapting to the wind than you think, no matter what you say, you can't fight against money, right?" ?”

After the Gaocheng incident, many people in the industry and brands took a wait-and-see attitude towards Gu Yu, but now, the box office success of "Idol Fanatic" proves that Gu Yu has not been abandoned by the audience—since he can maintain his long-term popularity , Those brands that want to get a share of the pie naturally come here again.

So is the screenplay.

Gu Yu glanced briefly: "It's actually another showbiz theme, I remember... There should be very few movies of this type."

"Yeah." Fang Jun nodded, "But you have to know, there are very few heartwarming family movies, and this year's Qingming Festival actually has them."

This is also true. When youth films were popular in the past, the whole circle went all out to make youth films, draining the enthusiasm for the subject matter. Later, comedy became popular, and one by one went to make comedy.

"Do you think I can act in comedy?" Gu Yu asked.

His only attempt at comedy seems to be in "Acting School", playing a role in "The Runaway Girl".

"Emmm..." Fang Jun rested his chin in thought, "Forget it, you seem to be only able to act as a handsome guy with a not-so-sound IQ."

Gu Yu: "Thank you for the definition of the last two words."

Admitting that he is a handsome guy, he is already very satisfied.

Fang Jun: "You're welcome, everyone I meet on the main road calls him handsome."

Gu Yu: "..."

Gu Yu ignored Fang Jun no longer, and focused on reading the script that was handed to him recently. I have to say, probably because he acted in more and more movies, the script that was handed over recently was similar to the themes he had acted in before. Some overlap.

"Police suspense, youthful love, ancient costumes..." Gu Yu scanned briefly, "Let me take a closer look. By the way, what do you recommend?"

"These are a few, the quality of the book is not bad." Fang Jun asked Gu Yu, "Are you interested in commercial blockbusters? Do you want to try it?"

Gu Yu asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly recommend this to me? Is the quality of the book good?"

"Well, it's okay." Fang Jun hesitated for a moment, "But the risk is also great."

Hearing what he said, Gu Yu became interested instead: "Show me."

Fang Jun took out a document from the other corner of the table and handed it to Gu Yu: "This."

A great production of science fiction.

It tells the story of human beings exploring outer space.

This type of theme has been involved in a lot of overseas markets, and the other party is very daring to shoot, and the style is relatively unconstrained. However, many domestic sci-fi movies start from a humanistic point of view, and they advocate that man can conquer nature. This difference is mainly in concept, rather than Pure technology gap.

Gu Yu is not the kind of actor who is superstitious about technology.

"It's said that they're not playing tricks this time, they want to play something serious." Fang Jun told Gu Yu the gossip he heard, "So, they are short of money."

Gu Yu rubbed his temples: "Again?"

He discovered that the movies that come to him have a rule—in a word, they are not favored due to various difficulties in the early stage, and then, they wait for him to make his debut as the protagonist and save the world.

"Because I want to play something real."

Gu Yu: "..."

Fine.

Although he had the idea of ​​making a film without money, Gu Yu still took over the script from Fang Jun.

At present, most of the domestic sci-fi movies, except for the big directors who dare to try, are mostly concentrated in the big online movies.

Rough backgrounds, nonsensical plots, and some ideas that sound so powerful that you think about what you are doing this time, not to mention riding a spaceship and building a rocket, the protagonist goes to outer space and falls in love with aliens.

By the way, the aliens can also speak Chinese, at the tenth level of Chinese.

But wanting to play really, really burns money.

Whether the cost can be recovered is not certain.

But in Gu Yu's eyes, the theme of this sci-fi script is indeed very creative, with adventure and popular science, which can easily arouse the audience's attention to the same theme.

In the current film market, themes such as science fiction are still a vacuum.

Although there is no lack of delicacies cooked by great directors, compared with other themes, this kind of theme is really difficult to imitate. Even if a movie hits the box office, there will be very few works with similar themes in the follow-up.

The most critical reason is to burn money.

After all, the funds that movies can provide are limited, and many outstanding special effects artists have even been poached to work in games. Compared with the exorbitantly high cost, it is unknown whether they can recover the box office.

In this case, directors and actors tend to choose more stable themes.

Gu Yu sighed: "Such a large investment, even if you sell me, it won't help you."

"You are really interested." Fang Jun also sighed, "I didn't want to show it to you, anyway, there is "Tianji", isn't it?"

"Secretary" is also a commercial film.

In fact, although the few films that Gu Yu acted in, "Graduation Season" and "Jianghu" are not commercial films in the traditional sense, but the box office results of the films are not inferior to some blockbuster films. From this point of view , Gu Yu does not need to deliberately pursue the so-called big production.

The final box office of those big-budget movies may not be comparable to "Graduation Season".

"Put it here for now. I don't know if I will take it or not." Gu Yu put the script aside, and went to look at the other documents Fang Jun brought: "Any other jobs?"

"There's a lot, but I don't want to bother you too much during the promotional period of the movie." Fang Jun glared at Gu Yu, and stretched out his hand to him, "Congratulations, the box office of "Idol Fanatic."

Gu Yu bumped his fists with his manager: "I'm really lucky."

"Keep it up."

As Gu Yu's manager, although he complained about the other party in various ways, Fang Jun couldn't find fault with the other party only in terms of acting.

Gu Yu thought it was his luck, but Fang Jun didn't think so.

If the other party hadn't honed his acting skills in a down-to-earth manner and performed every role to the best, he would not have gained the trust of the audience.

Regardless of whether it is the director's work "Surprised Magpie" or Zhang Hui's "Graduation Season", Gu Yu has completed everything meticulously, and will not ignore his own strict requirements for performance because of the configuration.

The opponent's success may be due to luck, but it's not just because of luck.

Every actor is like this.

It is precisely because he is not the proud son of heaven who became famous in a movie, that he should cherish every work of his career even more.

"Why is it a party again?" Gu Yu sighed, "I'd better join the filming group earlier, I don't really want to participate in these parties anymore."

"It's also work." The agent smiled bitterly, "Just like my job is to wipe your ass."

Gu Yu: "Is 10% okay?"

Fang Jun finally put on a kind smile: "In the world, the most important thing is to meet someone who understands you..."

Gu Yu: "..."

Yes, he was [-] percent sure, there might be something wrong with his agent.

……

The popularity of "Idol Fanatic" is higher than Gu Yu imagined.

Some viewers like Xu Zhen's new life after despair, some viewers like his spirit of never giving up, and many young fans are attracted to Xu Zhen's last stage.

So among the invitations that Fang Jun handed over, many of them specified that Gu Yu would perform the last part of "Idol Fanatic".

Moreover, the asking prices for these programs are very high, between 20 and 50 for a performance, which is already a top price in the idol industry, after all, it is just a stage performance.

Gu Yu didn't pick it up. Before "Idol Fanatic" was released, he had to keep this mystery, so as not to destroy the freshness of the audience who had never been to a movie theater.

Gu Yu took on quite a few non-stage performance jobs, and he couldn't miss some official events.

All in all, the days of not filming in the crew are no easier than filming, and even more tiring.

When he was alone at home, Gu Yu didn't even bother to wash his face, but when he went out, he had to change into different outfits according to the scene, and he had to make up properly. After a day of boredom, Gu Yu felt that his face was oily.

But with the popularity of "Idol", this kind of life will probably last for a long time.

"Idol" was released for a week, and the box office exceeded 6 million. After the Qingming holiday, the daily box office of the movie did not exceed [-] million, but it was still tens of millions, which is quite a good result.

Director Jian Yin didn't even think that the movie would be a hit at the box office. She gave the impression that she was a director with a literary temperament. The word making money is often not related to her, but this time, with "Idol Fanatical", Jian Yin has become He became a gold medal director sought after by everyone in the circle.

In any case, there should be no problem with the movie box office exceeding 10 billion.

Limited to the subject matter, this movie will definitely not be as popular as "Graduation Season", but such results are already very good, and now the box office alone has exceeded the cost by more than ten times.

According to Jiang Chuan, the price for her writing a script now is more than five times higher than the price in a few months. Even so, the scripts she wrote before but were not sold have been snatched up by major film companies. .

"This is what it feels like for a poor man to become rich." Jiang Chuan said with emotion, "I was really panicked at first, but I have recovered recently. I am already at this age. Instead of thinking about making quick money, it is better to train yourself I have honed my skills, and "Idol" is not my end after all."

Gu Yu smiled: "Director Jian thinks so too."

"Sister Yin and I coincidentally?" Jiang Chuan smiled on the phone, "Sister Yin should understand better than me. This is all life experience."

"Yes." Gu Yu agreed.

"Don't follow me, yeah, it sounds like an old monster who has lived two lifetimes, how old are you, what do you know?"

Gu Yu: "..."

In fact, he is an old monster who lived two lifetimes.

Although the two lifetimes are not that old.

"By the way, I didn't come to you this time to talk about "Crazy Idol". My friend has a notebook and sent it to you. Can you see if you are interested?"

"Okay, you can send it to me." Gu Yu agreed.

Jiang Chuan hung up the phone and sent the script.

Gu Yu: "..."

What a coincidence, the script introduced to him by the other party was the sci-fi masterpiece that Fang Jun showed him before.
