Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

After making so many nets for so long, it's time to take them out for fishing.

The movie schedule has always been a very mysterious thing. Choosing a movie schedule is as important as choosing the location of the glass counter for a cake that is going to be sold to people: if you choose a suitable location, you can sell a good one. ; If you choose the wrong position, it is very likely that you will sit on the bench until you are off the shelves.

As for how to choose this position, it is not recognized that the best position is a good position, but you need to combine everything about yourself, fully understand yourself, and then choose the most suitable "position" based on various factors.

After all, it doesn’t mean that a blockbuster movie can be released with a popular schedule. A good movie chooses the wrong schedule and ends up with a mediocre ending. A popcorn movie happens to hit a hot spot and becomes a hit in a certain period. These are all things that happen in the real world. .

For example, Su Yun repeatedly suggested that Spielberg put "Jaws" on a schedule that everyone thought was unpopular at the time, but it was especially suitable for the summer vacation when the whole family gathers to watch movies when they are not traveling. , not only successfully created a phenomenon-level unpopular movie subgenre explosion legend, but also successfully revitalized the new popular golden time of summer vacation.

As the saying goes, small explosions depend on praise, and big explosions depend on fate.

To achieve a phenomenal result, the right time, place and people are indispensable.

Su Yun's "Brewster's Billionaires", which took advantage of the opportunity, is also a typical example of taking advantage of the current situation - firstly, it harvested a large number of ethnic minorities and most of the middle and lower class audience after it was shown in the cinema Afterwards, when the news came out that a Chinese-American senator was running for mayor in Xirui City, California and was successful, it triggered a new wave of movie video sales.

But this time, Su Yun went even further and released two movies in the summer vacation, which can be called completely different styles.

Er Dongxing looked at the two posters on the wall of the cinema, and couldn't help but fell into the contemplation of which one to watch first.

The poster on the left is "The Rooftop Postman", which is very "literary and artistic". The deformed tall buildings and tiny figures complement each other, together with the dusk tone of the sky and the chaotic background, they form a strange and harmonious look. Doomsday will do its best to carry out the carnival-like struggle atmosphere of the future wasteland living in the present, which is most in line with the taste of people like him who like "deep" movies.

And the poster on the right is the background of a college campus like many youth movies. A blonde girl in a pink suit is walking in the center of the picture with a smile on her face. The smile is as bright, warm and sweet as the sun, which is very Templated look of American blonde.

However, from the title of the movie "Legally Blonde", we can know that this is probably a story of a template character who broke the stereotype and succeeded. It is the most typical popcorn movie. You don't even need to use your brain to watch the whole process, just A picture is enough.

It stands to reason that the movie "Sister Demon Slayer" invited by Su Yun is similar to "Legally Blonde". If he wants to know about his next work as soon as possible, he should watch "Legally Blonde" first. is the safest course of action...

Embracing his dreams and hobbies, he had to succumb to the reality first, but when Er Dongxing was about to go to the ticket window to buy a ticket for "Legal Blonde", he suddenly saw a spectator in front of him through the gap in his sunglasses. It looks very familiar with the slightly fat back.

"Miss, help me get two tickets for "Legally Blonde"! Lovers, please!" The chubby figure leaned forward and approached the ticket window. Women with long hair in small curls who love ironing.

As old friends for many years, Er Dongxing confirmed the identities of the former two at once: Wang Zheng, his old friend who has been fighting with each other for many years, and Wang Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang.

It’s a sin to say the least——Wang Zheng, a slightly fat guy with a tendency to develop horizontally, was like him when he was a child, an old neighbor who lived with his parents in the dormitory of Zhao’s studio.

However, because Wang Zheng liked his second brother Jiang Dawei since he was a child, and felt that Jiang Dawei was so handsome in the three movies "Bodyguard", "Boxing" and "Revenge", so he named Jiang Dawei as his boyhood boy. The idol and the male star whom he wants to work with the most when he grows up, often squatting at the door of Jiang Dawei's house, wanting to show his love for him.

However, the second elder brother Jiang Dawei felt that the two had completely different styles of painting, so he didn't want to talk to him at all, so Wang Zheng, who failed to hook up with the second elder brother, "curved to save the country", specifically looking for himself as the younger brother to start a fight, and took it from his elder brother. All the grievances I suffered were spread on my younger brother...

With a brother who is like a benchmark in martial arts movies, Er Dongxing is naturally not a bully, so the two have been fighting against each other since they were young, and they always staged real-life PKs—later when they got older, it was not easy to directly use hands and feet in front of people. , but also took the opportunity to go up and laugh at the other party.

"Are you watching these comedies again? There is no nutrition at all. No wonder what you write and shoot are like this." Er Dongxing saw that Mrs. Wang went to a nearby taxi to buy more snacks and drinks, so she decisively went up and pointed at it. Wang Zheng fired, "I really don't understand that some people, who are obviously capable of making some good things, just don't want to put their heart into it, copy some bad memes, make some bad movies to deceive the audience..."

"The general public likes things that are lighter. Who wants to spend money to go to the movie theater to find pain after a day's work?" Wang Zheng looked up at him with a smile, "It's not easy for me. Please find someone to help me take care of my daughter, so it is rare to drag my wife out to watch a movie, so naturally I want to watch a lighter and happier movie..."

"It's not like some people who are only shadowy. Even if they want to bow down to five buckets of rice, there is no one to accompany them to explain it. Oh, it's really 'Yin Gong'!" The saying "Yin Gong" actually means "no The ellipsis of the term "Yin Gong" means that the superstitious people in the old days believed that the things that people do when they are alive will go to the underworld after their death, and then record their merits and demerits according to good and bad deeds.

Doing good deeds means "having yin skills", and doing bad things means "not having yin skills". Therefore, the original meaning of the word "no yin skills" is to commit evil. Later, with the evolution of colloquial quotations, it extended the meaning of pitiful and desolate— —However, most of them are now used to insult and ridicule other people's poor status.

Er Dongxing frowned: "What gossip did you hear?"

"There's no need to inquire about this. Mary Sue also invited me to be the director of "Sister Demon Slayer", and your second brother will also bring Dillon to comeo - wow, this lineup, I don't even need the script on the spot Look, I agreed straight away." Wang Zheng approached him like a good brother, "I heard that you have a part to be one of the leading actors in it? I really want to see what achievements you have made over the years... "

"It's none of your business, I haven't agreed to accept this movie yet." Er Dongxing frowned even tighter.

"Oh, that's the best. Actually, I don't really want to take pictures of you. To be honest, it's very difficult to take care of a 'Little Treasure' like you who is particularly insecure." Wang Zheng clapped his hands: Er Dongxing will He wanted to switch from being a first-line student to being a choreographer behind the scenes, because he felt that an actor is a passive character who cannot control himself and can only be manipulated by others, so he prefers a more secure character who can bring the story to a harmonious direction. A behind-the-scenes choreographer whose fate is in his own hands.

The current Er Dongxing is not the strong mouthed king of the Hong Kong circle who can scold his girlfriend and his artists until they cry, so he is too lazy to talk to Wang Zheng, an old enemy who is so willing to make fun of him, and bows his head silently , went to the ticket window and paid for a ticket for "The Rooftop Postman".

"Look more, anyway, you like this tune from the smallest to the most." Wang Zheng put his arms around his wife who had bought two bags of snacks and drinks and came back. He took out a bottle of orange juice, "Here, it's quite suitable for you, take it—'miserable' juice."

In Cantonese, the pronunciation of the word "orange" and the word "miserable" are similar, and there are often people with lazy accents who are quick to mispronounce, but this guy Wang Zheng is a rare college student in this age-so this must be a deliberate mispronunciation to mock his!

"What's so miserable, you're slowly getting enough of it yourself!" Er Dongxing turned back and glared at him, "People like you who stepped into the grave of marriage early don't understand the enthusiasm of us single nobles... "

"Really, then I wish you a warm summer of being a single nobleman every year in the future." Wang Zheng felt that his wife had everything at his fingertips, so he tried his best to ridicule this long-time enemy and single dog.

"You wait, I just don't want to. If I want to, all the girls in Xiangjiang are waiting for me to pick!" Er Dongxing became a little annoyed when he was caught by his friends for many years one after another because he was single.

"Forget it, you didn't get selected to be a judge of Miss Hong Kong, and you still want to have all the girls in Xiangjiang waiting for you to choose..." Wang Zheng waved his hand, "You don't even dare to shoot love scenes!"

"Who said I dare not shoot, just wait, as soon as Marysu comes back, I will go to accept her movie appointment, and then I will specifically fight against you, a vulgar director!" After Er Dongxing said this, he didn't look back. He walked up the stairs of the theater on the second floor.

Seeing Er Dongxing's back rushing upstairs, Wang Zheng found an excuse to let his wife enter the venue, and then went to the public phone booth to make a call: "Hello? Mary? Yes, it's me, Wang Zheng! "

"I followed your instructions and used the provocative method to nearly agitate Xiaobao. After he enters the theater to watch a movie, I will arrange for Miss Zhang to approach him... Dede, it's absolutely fine. Don't worry about my work. They will definitely understand each other's difficulties..."

Su Yun smiled on the other side of the phone: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll talk about the details when I return to Xiangjiang. You first get rid of Er Dongxing and Zhang Wanyu, the pair of 'happy lovers'. I will deal with the other two movie couples." It's arranged."

"No hard work, no hard work, it's rare that you gave me such an opportunity, not only to cooperate with Jiang Dawei, but also to direct a movie of this investment level. I should thank you for switching over!" Wang Zheng said, and said I probed to look at the second floor, and sure enough, I saw Zhang Wanyu, who was released by a friend, holding a movie ticket and walking up the stairs leading to the second floor.
