Cross the road of the director

The National Day war started at the end of August.

"The Legend of the White Fox" is a hard work of Baiyun Film and Television which has been in preparation for three years. After entering the promotion period, it is a matter of course that it has the best resources.

Trending searches on Twitter, variety shows, subway advertisements... The big-budget movie headed by "The Legend of the White Fox" won the advertisements of popular variety shows and subway transportation early on. Middle-aged people who are not interested in the entertainment industry know the existence of "White Fox".

In this way, the first wave of offensive "White Fox" and "Two Heroes" won the next round, "Back to the Past to Save Dad" and "The Unique Him" ​​barely supported, and "The Year of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" was directly eliminated.

"This year's National Day is not the anniversary. "The Year of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" was not promoted as a gift film. It is no wonder that it was eliminated so early. However, because it was a gift film, when it was first released, "The Year of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" had the least number of films scheduled. 10%, it will inevitably squeeze our film schedule.”

"Bai Yun's "The Legend of the White Fox" and Zhao Yu's "Two Heroes" are both big productions, and the promotion is also very careful. It is basically impossible to surpass them before the release. If this is the case, Huanxi Culture's "Hui Hui" "Go to the Past and Save Dad" is our current opponent."

Chen Yipeng had a sullen face, carefully analyzing the current situation, "Qingkong has been established for too short a time, and the signboard is not strong enough. Now if you want to promote it, you have to spend more money to satisfy them. How do you think about the requirements of blogging? They ask for a price It is indeed high, but considering the box office potential during the National Day, it is acceptable."

Sitting next to her, Lu Jue said casually: "Double price? Isn't the asking price on Twitter just high? Is this a scam? Refuse it."

Chen Yipeng opened his mouth to say something, but seeing his partner's expression, he swallowed it back.He pushed his glasses in a concealed manner, and said, "I see, I will reply to them later."

Although Yangchun Baixue is good, it does not do any good for the company's future development.Chen Yipeng thought of the popularity of other houses recently, and felt sour and jealous, wishing to spend money to include all the hot search lists.

"I don't rule out buying hot searches, but only at normal prices."

Lu Jue knew what he was thinking at a glance.He raised his hand to rub his forehead, and sighed: "Don't worry, I remember the propaganda, it will never be worse than them, right?"

"Damn it! "Legend of the White Fox" competes with us for trending searches again!!!"

At this moment, Wei Yuan threw the tablet in his hand and said angrily: "If I remember correctly, this is the third time, right? Once or twice could be accidental, but three times? They definitely did it on purpose. "

Hearing this, Chen Yipeng and Lu Jue's expressions were not very good.

Chen Yipeng frowned, and said irritably: "We didn't have a holiday with Baiyun Film and Television! There are so many movies in the National Day file. Instead of sniping the mighty "Twin Heroes", he is fighting against small movies like ours? Something wrong? Bar?"

Lu Jue: "..."

Among the National Day movies, Bai Yun's "The Legend of the White Fox" has the highest investment and the most promotion. It is under the greatest pressure and the most difficult to make money back.

Zhaoyu Investment's "Two Heroes of the Dark Ages" is a sequel. The previous work received rave reviews and the box office was extremely high.With the support of the previous work, "Double Heroes" has long been highly anticipated by fans as a sequel. Therefore, Zhao Yu's promotion is indeed not as rich and powerful as "Legend of the White Fox", but there are still loyal fans chasing and waiting.

Compared with "Twin Heroes", which already has an audience, "The Unique He" is like weeds on the side of the road, and there is no need to specifically target it.

What made "White Fox" abandon the biggest opponent of "Two Heroes", staring at them and sniping them repeatedly?

Every time Chen Yipeng and the others buy a hot search, "The Legend of the White Fox" can always grab the hot search list with a bigger gimmick, squeezing the promotion opportunities of "The Unique Him".Because of this, Twitter will give 'suggestions' and ask for prices.

A Yuan is right, this is by no means a coincidence.

"Who is the producer and director of "Legend of the White Fox"?"

Without waiting for others to answer, Lu Jue took the tablet next to her and began to search for information on "The Legend of the White Fox".

Should it be said that it is a big production?Just a random search, and the countdown to the release of "The Legend of the White Fox", links to pre-sale tickets, and various news hot searches recently launched by "The Legend of the White Fox" appeared on Baidu.

Looking at these, Lu Jue smiled coldly, directly entered the Tomato community, and looked through various information of "The Legend of the White Fox".

"As one of the top three, if Bai Yun is not stupid, she should focus on sniping "Two Heroes". But now? Qingkong's three trending searches have been taken away by them. I checked, and they are also on the trending list." Search, "Two Heroes" has never encountered "The Legend of the White Fox". As for weeding out Xiaoyu first, Huanxi Culture is fine."

"Excluding all the impossible, there is only one truth. "Legend of the White Fox" is deliberately aimed at us, or one of us."

"Lu Guangxiong, Liang Xuan, Jiang Xuetong, Li Yixin..."

"Do you have any impression of these people? Leaving aside the investors of "Legend of the White Fox", the director, producer, and starring actors may all be our enemies."

Lu Jue recalled the events of these years and confirmed that he had nothing to do with these people.

At this time, Chen Yipeng's expression changed, his face was pale and ugly.He took a deep breath, tried to adjust his emotions, and said, "I...may know the reason."

In an instant, Lu Jue and Wei Yuan looked at him together.

Wei Yuan urged impatiently: "You know? Now that you know, Old Chen, tell us quickly! Sigh, I have been beaten passively before, and I don't know the reason. I feel so bad."

Facing the eyes of the two, Chen Yipeng organized his words and said, "It's been a long time since this happened, and I just heard about it..."

It turned out that Lu Jue's father, Lu Wenyao, had dealt with Lu Guangxiong many years ago.

In the early years, Lu Guangxiong was depressed and frustrated, and worked together with Lu Wenyao in Dongyuan.As an actor, Lu Wenyao also starred in a movie directed by Lu Guangxiong, and the two are also good friends.

When we first met, Lu Wenyao had a higher status and a calm personality, and he also respected Lu Guangxiong as a director.It's just that after Lu Guangxiong's film won the award, his whole body floated up, and his words and deeds seemed to be a different person.

Those years were Lu Guangxiong's lucky years. One of his films was popular, and he won all the awards. He was also called a great director by others when he went out.

When a director has a work, he can be regarded as having the ability to make a fuss.

When Lu Guangxiong got up, the investor and Dong Yuan valued him very much, but his relationship with Lu Wenyao gradually became distant.

At Lu Guangxiong's celebration banquet, Lu Wenyao was invited to attend.It was a rare occasion for the two to meet again, which was something worth celebrating, but nothing happened.

It turned out that Lu Guangxiong drank too much wine, and when he was happy, he asked the little girl who had just entered the circle to sing to cheer up the fun. It was still a love song.

Sing to celebrate?The little girl is a good actress, she can't sing at all, so how can she sing love songs in front of a group of old men?

To Lu Guangxiong and his group, this was nothing more than a trivial matter, but to the little girl it was an extremely embarrassing request.

So, amidst the booing of the men, Lu Wenyao stopped the matter in a flat tone.

As soon as Lu Wenyao uttered his voice, the others were unwilling to get involved, but Lu Guangxiong felt that he had been humiliated and forced the little girl.Seeing him approaching every step of the way, Lu Wenyao, who has always been good-tempered, lowered his face and cursed a few words.

When everyone saw that the good guy got angry, they all came out to smooth things over, and everyone who had a good relationship with Lu Guangxiong ran to persuade him.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, and everyone didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Lu Guangxiong left Dongyuan at the end of the year and set up his own studio, and never cooperated with Lu Wenyao again.

"...Thinking about it now, Lu Guangxiong must have had a grudge before he left. If I remember correctly, Dong Yuan was indeed more inclined to Lu Wenyao at the time, and he probably thought so too, so he left."

"I didn't expect that after so many years, he still remembered it."

When Chen Yipeng said this, he also sighed.

Wei Yuan was astonished, and asked in disbelief: "Just because of such a trivial matter? He came to attack us? I'll go, isn't this Lu Guangxiong too narrow-minded?"

Lu Jue frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Small things? For us, this is indeed a small matter, but for some people, small things have been held in for a long time, so don't they just keep thinking about them?" After a pause, " Who was the little girl at that time?"

Chen Yipeng was startled, and said, "Bai Yao."

"What? The hottest acting school in the past two years? Isn't she famously arrogant? Has she ever encountered such a thing?"

Wei Yuan gasped, feeling bad all over.

Lu Jue didn't say a word, but tapped his knee with the fingers of his right hand, obviously thinking about something.

"If I remember correctly, "The Legend of the White Fox" originally wanted to invite Bai Yao to play the role. There was a lot of trouble at the time, but it ended up falling into Jiang Xuetong's hands."

"Now that "To Live" is nominated again, Bai Yao is already the queen of the movie. With this work now, she has more confidence. As for Lu Guangxiong, "To Live" is too noisy, and Bai Yao's star path is smooth, which inevitably makes her He recalled the bad past. And I, the son of Lu Wenyao, chose the National Day file without knowing the sky and the earth. Adding fuel to the fire, it's no wonder he wants to snipe our movie."

Lu Jue went over the matter and vaguely guessed the truth.

Chen Yipeng took off his glasses, washed them and wiped them, and said, "Lu Guangxiong once suppressed Bai Yao, and when Bai Yao got up, he was always lukewarm towards Lu Guangxiong. Even Lu Guangxiong didn't want to accept the olive branch. Accepted "Alive". People outside don't know, but at a certain event, Bai Yao said in front of Lu Guangxiong that she was only suitable for playing ugly and pretending to be weird, not worthy of playing "The Legend of the White Fox."

Wei Yuan: "...Hiss! Are you so rigid?"

Chen Yipeng: "Interestingly, the phrase 'only suitable for pretending to be ugly' is exactly what Lu Guangxiong said."

Wei Yuan: "Hey! So fierce, isn't she afraid of Lu Guangxiong's suppression? Anyway, Lu Guangxiong is also a great director. If he is really good, Bai Yao will definitely suffer, right?"

Chen Yipeng: "If people dare to say it, they must have the guts."

Lu Jue: "Bai Yao has a backstage, right?"

Chen Yipeng was noncommittal, but both of them understood what he meant.

"Okay, this is all in the past, and it's meaningless for us to discuss it. Now we should focus on how to promote the film. Alas, Lu Guangxiong...he has been famous for many years and has his own circle. We can't do anything about him! "

As Chen Yipeng spoke, he frowned and thought hard, hoping to find Lu Guangxiong's weakness.Suddenly, he looked at Lu Jue, and tentatively said, "Why don't you ask brother Yao to help?"

Lu Jue glanced at him calmly, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.After a long while, Lu Jue said, "I made the movie, and it has nothing to do with my dad. Besides, Director Lu has been thinking about it for so long, so how can he solve it in a sentence or two? Instead of thinking about how to let Director Lu let us go, why not let us go?" Think about how to beat him."

Chen Yipeng sighed: "...Since you have said so."

Compared to his pessimism, Wei Yuan said cheerfully: "Lu Guangxiong is so narrow-minded, begging him is a waste of time. Hehehe, Ah Jue, if you dare to say that, is there any way..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Jue's cell phone rang.

He looked at the 'Dad' on the call note, sighed, and connected the phone.As expected, as soon as the phone was connected, Lu Wenyao hurriedly asked about Qing Kong's situation.

With this attitude, it seems that Dad has contacted Lu Guangxiong?

Lu Jue spoke slowly, calming Lu Wenyao's emotions, and at the same time gave Wei Yuan and the others a wink and left the meeting room.He found a quiet place and said, "...Dad, I can take care of Director Lu, so don't worry about it."

Lu Wenyao: "...you know?"

Lu Jue: "Well, I heard something. Dad, Director Lu has been thinking about it for so long. It's a rare opportunity to vent his anger. How could he let it go so easily?"

Lu Wenyao: "..."

Lu Jue: "Dad, he didn't bully you, did he?"

Hearing this, Lu Wenyao's voice was a little hoarse, and he coughed twice before recovering: "You child, what are you talking about? Your father is such a big man, why is he still being bullied?"

There is no bullying, but there are still some yin and yang words.But you don't have to tell your kids that.

Lu's father didn't say anything, but Lu Jue guessed two points.

He didn't continue to ask, but repeatedly emphasized that he would not let his father contact Lu Guangxiong.To show his determination, he even said that as long as he found out that his father bowed to Lu Guangxiong again, he would donate all the box office this time.

Lu Wenyao: "..."

The son has said so, what else can he do?

After that, he briefly talked about some family affairs, and then hung up the phone with satisfaction.

"How about it?"

As soon as Lu Wenyao entered the room, he was questioned by Xiang Xia.He glanced at his wife, tried his best to maintain the majesty of his parents, and said: "You brat won't let me help, and if you talk to Guangxiong again, he will donate all the box office. Really, how old are you, and you are still so self-willed... ..."

He didn't know that when he said this, the corners of his mouth were rising wildly.

"...Look at your virtue."

Xiang Xia rolled her eyes and said, "Since A Jue said so, you should stop contacting Lu Guangxiong." After a pause, "What did Lu Guangxiong say just now? Did you lower your head? Did he laugh at you?"

Lu Wenyao was stunned, and said with a complicated mood: "No." Xiang Xia had always called him Guangxiong in the past, but now he called him by his name, obviously really annoyed.

"... After all, I haven't contacted for many years. After the call was connected, I originally wanted to chat with him first, but he was impatient to listen to this, and said directly that he would not make way for the eldest nephew. Although the tone was joking , but this is not a joke. After hearing this, I will stop entangled with him. "

"Oh, it's my fault. If I had known that he would be thinking about it for so long, my tone should have been better at that time."

Speaking of this, Lu Wenyao's tone was also full of embarrassment.

Xiang Xia gave him a displeased look and said, "If you want me to say, he doesn't really regard you as a friend. Outsiders say that you are popular and have a lot of friends. If you want me to say, it's not all because of your good temper, no A 'friend' who only cares about others? It's good that Lu Guangxiong's matter can give you a better understanding, and you should pay more attention to it in the future..." After a pause, "In short, A Jue said so, even if we want to help, we can't talk to Lu Guangxiong. Get involved over there."

Faced with his daughter-in-law's nagging, Lu Wenyao didn't dare to say a word, and nodded repeatedly.After a while, he asked, "By the way, your script hasn't been sold yet?"

Xiang Xia: "..."

Xiang Xia's expression proved everything.

script?

Since the appearance of "Meng Hui Da Zhou", the adaptation of the novel has become a hit.This year, these adaptations came out one after another, and while attracting a lot of attention, various film and television companies and investors also turned their attention to the adaptations.

When "Meng Hui Da Zhou" became popular, Xiang Xia guessed that there would be changes in the screenwriting industry, but she never expected that the industry would blindly pursue novel adaptations and despise original scripts.

Therefore, how can her original script still sell?According to this trend, in the next two years, the market will be full of screen adaptations.

Thinking of the recent invitation to adapt a screenplay, Xiang Xia was in such a bad mood that she couldn't help worrying that the screenplay would continue to be popular.

By then, do original screenplays have a future?

The author has something to say: There is one thing to say, the National Day file is getting hotter every year, and the weekly box office is even more frighteningly high.Because of this, the competition is super fierce, and A Jue will be in trouble this time~
