billion box office tycoon

Chapter 72 Meeting an Old Friend

The topic of Weibo controversy about the box office comparison between "Song Manting" and "Wuxiangshan" continued to ferment, and finally triggered a large-scale betting by netizens. As long as it is a related topic, this kind of comment pattern can be seen everywhere: "Song Manting" box office does not exceed X [-] million, I live eat Xiang Xiang/live eat keyboard/live break up with girlfriend/live confession/live class LOL... Wait, compared to the alternative affirmation of "Song" by netizens, the topic of "Wuxiangshan" is much more bleak, Even the po owner who had previously talked about stealing tickets was silenced because he was quickly slapped in the face.

This wave of controversy at the box office is undoubtedly a second publicity for "Song Manting", which has been released for nearly a week, making the box office, which has fallen slightly, hit a new high in an instant. , In the estimated ten days or so, it was extended for nearly a week.

And "Song Manting" lived up to expectations, and successfully broke through one billion box office before it was released, saving countless netizens from a catastrophe such as eating flying/eating keyboards/breaking up...etc.

Of course, the biggest winner is Xingyu Century. The investment project that was not valued at first not only won a heavyweight award, but also won a huge box office. This transaction can be said to be the most successful example of Xingyu's operation of movies in recent years. .

Ye Weilin, who is the main hero, declined all receptions and celebrations at this moment, and went to an invitation from an acquaintance in a coffee shop in a hidden location.

"It's been a long time." The man opposite took off his sunglasses and hat, revealing a very familiar face.

Slightly pale complexion, eyes full of smiles, but also revealing a look of tiredness that cannot be concealed, the iconic long hair has long since disappeared, replaced by a neat short hair.

Ye Weilin looked at the other party with some surprise. He had only been away from Fu Qi for a year, but at this moment, it was as if he hadn't seen him for many years, and he had changed completely.

"Your way of greeting is a bit too outlandish." Ye Weilin hesitated for a while before replying.

Fu Qi smiled and said: "You who said such a thing, don't you see it?"

The slightly tit-for-tat words seemed to open a floodgate, and finally made the two of them find some old feelings.

"Which one of us is with whom? Let's stop talking nonsense. Brother, I'll get straight to the point." After Fu Qi said this, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly lowered his low-pitched voice: "You ...Have you heard of Jiang Lan?"

"Jiang Lan?" Ye Weilin read the name once and felt familiar, but didn't have much impression.

"She..." After Fu Qi said a word, he paused, as if he hesitated to say a thousand words but couldn't say it. After a long time, he said softly: "She is an actress, very talented, and has a good character. .”

"So?" Ye Weilin couldn't help but interjected, still searching for the familiar name in his mind.

"I love her very much." Fu Qi said solemnly, with a firm yet gentle look in his eyes, "Weilin, I'm really sorry, I haven't told you about her since we've known each other for so long."

Under Fu Qi's explanation, Ye Weilin also probably understood why the other party suddenly left without saying goodbye, and why he came back to him after less than a year.

Jiang Lan and Fu Qi are a pair of childhood sweethearts. They are not only neighbors, but both parents have business contacts. They grew up together and have a deep relationship. If there is no accident, the lovers will eventually get married.

Unfortunately, when Jiang Lan was 15 years old, her parents were involved in a high-ranking official corruption case with wide-ranging social influence. Jiang's father died of a heart attack during the interrogation, followed by Jiang's mother in a car accident. Relatives and friends were afraid that the case would be involved. My own family avoided Jiang Lan, and was finally adopted by the Fu family.

From then on, Fu Qi realized that his feelings for Jiang Lan were no longer the hazy feelings he had when he was a child, but a clear love.

"...I am one year younger than her. In other people's eyes, fourteen or fifteen years old must not be able to distinguish what is liking and what is love, including my parents. They know my feelings for Jiang Lan, but they don't know. be opposed to."

As Fu Qi said, he suddenly showed a strange expression that seemed to be laughing and crying, "I'm so stupid, I should have realized at that time that their non-support is opposition..."

Ye Weilin didn't speak, but just listened quietly, he knew that what Fu Qi said next was the key point.

"Jiang Lan may have also seen my parents' indifference to her. She is such a strong person who values ​​self-esteem more than anything else. When I went abroad to participate in a photography exhibition, she left without saying goodbye."

"You also know that I have a bad temper." Fu Qi shook his head with a wry smile, and continued: "As soon as I came back, I frantically looked for her. When I finally found her, she had already dropped out of school and signed a contract with Feng Teng. He is an artist ready to debut."

When Ye Weilin heard the word "Feng Teng", he finally remembered who Jiang Lan was.

Ye Weilin couldn't help but change his face after thinking about it.

Jiang Lan, a notorious female artist under Fengteng Pictures.

The notoriety of male artists is often reflected in aspects such as "derailment/poisoning/domestic violence/taking advantage of actresses", while the notoriety of female artists is almost always related to "sex". Promiscuity and more.

Jiang Lan is exactly such an actress who gives people a bad impression.

What's worse, compared to other actresses who were caught by the media and took a few photos to arouse suspicion, Jiang Lan has a solid hammer!

It is true that as long as the word "Jiang Lan" is typed in the search engine, the page will automatically list down words such as "Jiang Lan HD□□X spot photos" and "Jiang Lan group P video resources". , although the picture must have undergone key mosaic processing to preserve it, anyone can tell who the heroine is at a glance.

Not long after the explosive pornographic photos, it was rumored that Jiang Lan was kidnapped and raped by her enemies, and then it was rumored that she was gang raped... Regardless of the truth of the matter, Jiang Lan's reputation was completely ruined.

"...It's not that I help her, she is really the most talented actor I have ever seen," Fu Qi didn't notice Ye Weilin's change, and said after a pause: "Well, before meeting Yin Lan, she was indeed The most talented actor I've ever seen."

"But, she has no acting now." Fu Qi frowned, looked at Ye Weilin, and emphasized his tone as if emphasizing: "She has no acting..."

"So, you thought of me?" Ye Weilin also frowned, and he began to worry about the mental state of his friend.

"A year ago, she suffered from depression." Fu Qi's voice dropped, his eyes finally moved away from Ye Weilin, and looked at an unknown place outside the window.

"I accompanied her abroad for treatment for a long time, but there was no improvement, until one day, I took her to the cinema and watched "Song Manting"."

"She said a word, she said she wanted to come back and wanted to film."

"Before that, she didn't speak to me for nearly a month."

……

"So help me." Fu Qi said, finally fixed his eyes on his face again, and solemnly took out a neatly bound script with the word "Happy Face" on the cover. After reading a few pages, it took a while to look up and say with certainty: "You must have written this script."

Fu Qi just smiled when he heard this, "You know me too well."

"You created the script with such care, why didn't you shoot it yourself?" Ye Weilin asked with some doubts. Of course, he knew that Fu Qi's personal assets were not enough to make a movie, but his grandfather was a well-known Fu Jinliang in the industry. Who would dare not sell Mr. Fu? face?When I was filming "The Dream Butterfly" and "The Phantom of Hometown" with him before, in order to prove my own strength, it made sense not to use family resources, but at this juncture, Ye Weilin believed that Fu Qi would definitely use all resources at this juncture, just to help A loved one fulfills a wish.

"My family... still can't accept Jiang Lan. It's fine to make a movie, and we will break up after the filming." Fu Qi replied indifferently, and then showed a sad look, "Weilin, only you can help her... no, It's helping me."

Ever since Ye Weilin knew Fu Qi, he had never seen him show such a fragile side. In Ye Weilin's impression, Fu Qi was born with arrogance. Even in front of the closest people, he always maintained his pride and never bickered with others. Subdued once, let alone begging for help in a low voice like today?

Ye Weilin felt very sad. He turned his face away, not wanting to see the other party's distressed appearance at the moment, so he just nodded and said in a low voice, "I will try my best."

Since "Song Man Ting" won a Best Actress Award and was nominated for Best Picture in Cannes, the number of scripts sent to Ye Weilin increased sharply. After being screened by the company and assistants, there were only less than ten scripts left.

Originally, Ye Weilin planned to rest for a while before starting to plan the shooting of the new movie, but the original plan was disrupted by Fu Qi's arrival, and the shooting of the new movie was forced to advance to the schedule.

The script of the new movie has not yet been established, and he is hesitating between the script sent by the company and Fu Qi's script.

Indeed, as Fu Qi's best friend, he had to help out because of emotion and reason.But he must be responsible to everyone. If it is just out of sympathy and pity, to establish Fu Qi's script as a new movie without saying a word, not only violates the principle, but also may not be able to make a good movie. busy.

Taking a step back, even if he took a fancy to Fu Qi's script, the inspiration and ideas embodied in it, like a real picture, can't get out of his mind, let him make a decision immediately, but the actor's aspect is not necessarily the same. Jiang Lan is the most suitable.

Therefore, he wanted to help with this favor, but he might not be able to.That's why...he said he was doing his best, not good.
