This rich and powerful young master is not right for me [entertainment]

A few days after the new year, Ji Yan returned to City A with big bags and small bags. Ji Qing heard him say that he always bought Fangyu's special products, and prepared a bunch of food and drink for him, and asked him to take them back to the city. Fang Yu and the others divided.

The members of "Wing" have a good relationship and know each other's relatives very well. Fang Yu's mother prepared a lot of Ji Yan's favorite jerky, and Xie Mingxuan and Lu Wei also brought him a lot of snacks.

At this point, Ji Qing didn't want to admit defeat.

"It's okay to be cold at home, why is it still so cold when I come back?" Ji Yan sniffed his nose, "I'm about to catch a cold."

"Before you actually catch a cold, there's still work to be done."

Ji Yan sighed quietly.

Xie Mingxuan and the others can actually return to City A later, but considering that there are still many things to discuss in the new album, everyone will come back at about the same time as Ji Yan.

Ji Yan had no choice but to go back, because "The Lost Intention of Murder" had already been officially finalized, on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

This year's Spring Festival stalls are still fiercely fought, various types of blockbusters are released in turn, and the ticket prices of the Spring Festival stalls are higher than the previous year. Now the Spring Festival stalls are not over yet, but it is already recognized as the Spring Festival with the highest box office data of the year.

Since its release, the number of movies at the top of the box office rankings has reached 38 billion, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks 40 billion.

And even with such a behemoth, the box office results of other movies are still astonishing - during this Spring Festival period, there are two other movies with a total box office of more than 20 billion, and there are several movies that have broken [-] million. In a precious schedule, if the box office exceeds [-] million, it is a failure, and the cost may not be recovered. After all, the Spring Festival file has always been a battleground for military strategists, and there are not a few movies in this schedule whose publicity costs exceed [-] million.

During the finalization period of "The Lost Murder", the Spring Festival file is still hot.

This year's Spring Festival box office champion "Precise Machine" has been released for several weeks, with its size, it is easy to crush such a small-budget film as "The Lost Intention".

But considering that the time during this period is not up or down, and the popularity of the Spring Festival stalls can be somewhat caught up, the crew discussed several times and finally decided on it.

Lu Ming was actually very nervous. After all, this was his first feature-length work, and it was also a stepping stone for him to knock on the entire film market.

Now that you have chosen this industry, who doesn't want to be a successful director?But outsiders can only see the ease with which the director dominates the crew and tunes/teaches well-known actors at will, but in fact, the directors that the audience can see and whose names they can hear are only a small part of the group of directors.

Lu Ming studied directing. He is a major in Beijing Film Director Department. He has the most orthodox background in this industry. Even ordinary audiences know that Beijing Film Academy is a director. Despite this, his career as a director is still stumbling. Many of his classmates have changed careers, some have joined the popular short video industry, and some have returned to their hometown to take the civil service exam. Few of them can persist.

Take the circle as an example, Su Pan, the photographer of "Youth Love Poetry", also directed movies, but in the end he returned to the position of photographer.

As for directors of the level of Li Xiang, Zhu Shuguang, and Luo Yi, they can be described as rare.

Lu Ming prayed that "The Lost Intention" could gain some box office, and make more money without losing money. His film was funded after being screened by the "wing" project. If the first film is completely smashed, I am afraid that no one in the industry dares to invest in him. From the perspective of investment, no one is willing to lose money and make money.

Producers like Lu Yu who will never leave Zhu Shuguang until his death are no different from myths and legends in Lu Ming's view. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are several powerful directors like Li Xiang and Zhu Shuguang in the circle. Surprisingly, with one more producer like Lu Yu, it would definitely be a happy event for all low-budget directors to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

……

It is not easy for "The Lost Intention" to be released successfully.

In terms of schedule, there are not many new films on the [-]th of the first lunar month, and even if there are new films released, the cost will not be too high. After all, the power of the Spring Festival file is still there, and audiences are still more inclined to blockbuster films that have already gained popularity and word of mouth.

Gone is one of four new films opening this week.

On the 2th day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Precise Machine" is still above 2488 million, and "Battle Zone", No. 20 in the box office rankings, also has a daily box office of [-] million. These two movies have good data during the Spring Festival. [-] days after its release, the results are still excellent.

Among the new films this week, the most eye-catching one is "Travel Around the Moon". The total investment of this film is 2.3 million. "Travel" is a film with a little flair. The film is performed by Xiao Yang, a well-known actor in the industry, and Lu Zhizhi, a new actress. The film not only has the romance of space movies, but also attracts fans of the two actors, Xiao Yang and Lu Zhizhi. This schedule is not far from Valentine's Day, and the audience is quite looking forward to watching Xiao Yang and Lu Zhizhi fall in love in the cinema.

However, "The Lost Intention" adopts the method of on-demand screening, and audiences have few movie theaters to choose from. Generally speaking, at least in the first few days after its release, the movie's box office is not too good.

——Although the credits of the film have attracted many fans.

The word "killing intent" sounds exciting.

From the trailer, the audience can see that a group of well-dressed characters are locked in a hotel. The changes in the eyes of different characters, the interaction between the characters, and the scene where the quiet atmosphere of the previous moment is broken by the instant murder are all very impressive. curious.

Ji Yan's fans are very concerned about his role in the movie——

"Teacher Ji is actually playing the only local dog among a group of glamorous characters. I guess the character he plays is a murderer."

"Looking forward to the new film!! It looks very exciting!"

"The production cost of this movie is actually less than 2000 million??? In other words, the production cost of movies has been rising steadily in the past few years. I feel that there are no movies with a cost of 2000 million now, and they are all easily hundreds of millions."

After the release date is confirmed, fans will naturally buy tickets in advance to support "The Lost Intention of Murder". As a result, there are too few theaters where the movie is shown, and many fans have not bought movie tickets at all.

This is also related to the theater's expectations for "The Disappearing Murder".

At present, "Precise Machine" and "Battle Zone" are still in theaters for the Spring Festival. The cost of these films has already been recovered. An extra day in theaters is an extra day's money. Except for a little box office appeal, the popularity of other actors is almost zero.

But even so, Ji Yan's best result is only the 1.8 million box office of "Youth Love Poetry", and "Precise Machine" can earn a few more days.

The theaters have never been charitable. Only when a movie has demonstrated its due value will its schedule and screenings increase. Before that, the theaters will not crowd out profitable movies. For movies that don't make money.

In a sense, this is the Matthew effect in the film market. Super-sized blockbusters can often dry up the market, and theaters are willing to provide them with enough film schedules. Blockbusters can also invest more money in publicity. However, low-budget films are inherently deficient, and they cannot compare to blockbuster films in terms of publicity. Naturally, it is difficult to turn over based on quality.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, but the film that can turn over is definitely not "The Lost Murder" with a cost of tens of millions. The conditions for turning over often have to go through the right time, place and people. Hundreds of films are released in a year There are but only one or two of them.

……

Before the release of "The Lost Murder", Ji Yan attended the screening held by the crew, but there were very few supporters. In terms of professional media, only "Movie Over Flowers", which has always been optimistic about him, sent reporters. Most of the other media paid attention to " Travel Around the Moon".

The enthusiasm for the Spring Festival file has not dissipated for the time being. Reporters also have a lot to write about the topic of the Spring Festival file, such as the behind-the-scenes footage of "Precise Machine", such as the efforts of the actors during the filming process. In contrast, " The only thing worthy of attention in "The Disappearing Murder Intent" is probably the turmoil between Ji Yan and Song Jing, but during the promotion period of the film, the crew deliberately avoided this topic. Only Ji Yan participated in the promotion throughout the film, and the other protagonist Song Jing didn't even show her face once.

However, Song Jing still forwarded the promotional video of "The Lost Murder Intention" sourly.

The protracted progress of the film caused him to lose several variety show contracts. By now, the filming of the film has already been finished. Even if he still pointed at Ji Yan, the two of them didn't even meet each other, and no one would buy him if he insisted .

In terms of Xianyin Entertainment, even the first brother Zhou Xingyuan suffered from Ji Yan's side, so the company naturally didn't expect Song Jing to play hard.

For Song Jing today, "The Lost Intention of Murder" that he dislikes has even become his only possibility to turn around.

Xianyin Entertainment did not start properly. Of course, it is impossible for such a company to have true feelings for Song Jing. Anyway, there are so many actors who want to enter the entertainment industry. .

In the current entertainment industry, it is very simple to promote a newcomer. Many companies only pick good-looking faces and send them to the talent show. When they are hot enough, they start cutting leeks and stuffing them into variety shows. Arrange dozens of endorsements every year, even if the newcomers are hardened into wooden piles in front of the camera when they are filming, as long as they can make money, it will be fine. For entertainment companies, this is more comfortable than cultivating newcomers and slowly waiting for the newcomers to improve their acting skills too much.

The new people themselves are not willing to endure hardships, so they naturally agree to this arrangement.

Ji Yan cooperated with the big director a lot, and the big director usually has strict management on the crew, but he also heard from He Qing that in a crew, there are actors and actresses.

There are martial substitutes in martial arts, and literary substitutes in literary operas.

Those with unsightly hands have hands, those with unsightly feet have feet, and those who are afraid of revealing their privacy have breasts.

Only the audience has never heard of it, and no crew dared to replace it.

Ji Yan deeply felt that he did not have such a blessing.

He Qing glanced at him: "It's best not to have this kind of blessing. Of course it doesn't matter when you are 2 or 30 years old. What about when you are older?"
