You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

◎The special effects work is progressing steadily, and Yao Bianliang is of course not idle. The vacation time is over, and she has to speed up the progress and finish the next movie. ◎

The special effects work is progressing steadily, and Yao Bianliang is certainly not idle.

The vacation time is over, and she has to speed up the progress and finish the next movie.

So, on a sunny afternoon, she came to the office building of Haitian Building.

"Teacher Yao, are you sure you want to do this?"

In the office, the middle-aged man with glasses was a little puzzled, looking at the documents on the table and thinking.

The man's name is Quan Suyou, and he is an associate professor in the Director Department of B University.

At the same time, he will also be the director of Yao Bianliang's new film.

"Well, the basic outline of the film project has been determined," Yao Bianliang nodded slightly, "I plan to officially start filming in two weeks."

She paused, and tentatively said, "Mr. Quan, there shouldn't be any problem with you, right?"

Quan Suyou is a talent she has carefully selected.

As an associate professor of the Director Department of University B, Quan Suyou has a strong theoretical system and a deep understanding of film shooting.

It is a pity that his shooting standard is very high, but it is difficult to be accepted by the public.

To put it simply, the shooting style is too complicated, the idea is relatively advanced, and it is incompatible with the current market environment.

Yao Bianliang has learned about several movies made by Quan Suyou, all of which are small productions, and the box office is not high.

Even, because the plot is obscure and difficult to understand, the rating of the movie is not ideal.

For this cooperation, Yao Bianliang intends to let Quan Suyou continue the previous consistent style, with a complicated and chaotic timeline and intricate relationships between characters.

In short, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the plot of a movie without watching it two or three times, let alone understand the core of the movie.

Quan Suyou hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I have no problem."

He liked the script provided by Yao Bianliang very much.

The first time he saw this subject, many inspirations flashed in his mind, and he wished to shoot the whole movie immediately.

Quan Suyou had a premonition that even if this movie could not get a high box office, its artistry is beyond doubt.

He is not attached to money and fame, but he likes the feeling of finely crafting and letting the artwork gradually take shape in his hands.

Therefore, even if Yao Bianliang made it clear that there would be no publicity for the film, he had no objection.

"However, Mr. Yao, are you really not planning to sign your name?" Quan Suyou hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Except for you, the other actors are not well-known. Only you can drive the box office of this movie."

Yao Bianliang waved his hand resolutely: "I won't sign it. It doesn't matter how much the box office is. The important thing is not to let other people know that this movie is the work of my Yao Bianliang."

Just kidding, with her name, the popularity of this movie can rise exponentially in minutes.

At that time, the audience will make up their minds after watching it, and they may push this movie to the altar again.

Therefore, not only would Yao Bianliang not be able to sign, but he would also pay a lot of money to hire a makeup artist. In this movie, it is necessary to make her image so that the real mother does not recognize it.

— Just like the "To Our Youth" filmed when she first entered the circle,

Quan Suyou looked puzzled, but still nodded: "Okay, then I will sort out the script and discuss the specific shooting process with you next week."

He paused and looked at the script: "Speaking of which, we haven't decided on a name for this movie yet... Teacher Yao, do you have any ideas?"

The content and ideas of the script were all in Yao Bianliang's thinking. In the process of writing, the screenwriter almost followed Yao Bianliang's idea.

It can be said that Yao Bianliang is half of the screenwriter of this movie.

It is also reasonable for her to come up with the name.

"What's the name of the movie..."

Yao Bianliang pondered for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Let's call it "The Invisible Artist."

This movie is most likely her last system mission.

Take this work as a final farewell.

———

In autumn, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus filled the entire city of B.

Yao Bianliang saw the news from Jiangdongting on this day.

"Sister Liang, the post-production of "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" is basically completed!"

Although it was just a text message, Yao Bianliang could feel his excitement through the screen.

"So... when is our movie coming out?"

Once post-production is complete, all that remains is the approval process.

If the action is fast, it can be released smoothly within a month. But this time is too short, Yao Bianliang doesn't intend to release the movie immediately.

If it is released during this period, it will be in the off-season period just like the original "Floating Life Sigh".

In the off-season, there are not many movies, and after careful calculation, there is not even a single one that can be played.

Although Yao Bianliang has given up hope for "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas", he can still struggle when it is time to struggle.

What if she was so lucky and the movie went straight to the street?

Therefore, the release time must be carefully decided.

"Are there any major international movies going to be released recently?" Yao Bianliang asked.

Jiang Dongting has obviously checked in advance and knows the situation of the competitors well.

He said: "Don't worry, Sister Liang, there have been no international blockbusters these days, not even domestic blockbusters!"

If it goes online during this period, then "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" will stand out from the crowd, and there will be no rivals in the world.

Yao Bianliang frowned slightly.

This is not acceptable.

If there is no strong competitor, wouldn't her movie become popular easily?

"What about New Year's Day?" she asked.

Jiang Dongting: "There are no movies on New Year's Day, only a comedy - it's made by Hudi Entertainment, and the lineup is not bad."

"I have a movie release schedule in the next six months, sister Liang, you can refer to it."

While talking, Jiang Dongting sent a document.

Yao Bianliang opened the schedule to check, and at the same time, she silently rejected the idea of ​​showing it on New Year's Day.

The movies made by Hudi Entertainment may not be competitive enough.

She needs a more threatening opponent.

Yao Bianliang's eyes scanned the titles of the movies one by one, and finally, he slowly stopped on the column of overseas movies.

Director Michaux's latest masterpiece, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Abyss", is expected to be released in mainland China in February.

Yao Bianliang's eyes lit up.

Abyss, this movie is not bad!

The movie was also mentioned in the original novel. "The Abyss" was released in February, and because of this, Yao Xinxin was able to get acquainted with the great Hollywood director Mi Xiu.

Among the Spring Festival movies, "The Abyss" almost occupied all the prime time slots with a crushing attitude, and once set a new record at the box office.

There is no doubt that this is a strong opponent!

If "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" collides with it, maybe it is really possible to hit the street.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yao Bianliang's lips curled up slightly: "The movie release time is not urgent, let's tentatively set the Spring Festival schedule."

Jiang Dongting was taken aback: "Spring Festival stall?"

If it's the Spring Festival, isn't there a high probability of colliding with the Hollywood blockbuster "The Abyss"?

Although Jiang Dongting also has confidence in "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas", if the competitor is an international director, then he has no confidence at all.

"This... the Spring Festival schedule, will it be too crowded?" Jiang Dongting was a little hesitant.

If nothing else, at least avoid the movies directed by Mi Xiu!

Yao Bianliang was quite calm: "Let's just do it during the Spring Festival. It's festive. I think it's very good."

Jiang Dongting: "..."

Is it a hasty decision to schedule the Spring Festival because of the festival?

Jiang Dongting moved his fingers, wanting to type again to persuade him. Halfway through typing, I finally silently deleted it.

Sister Liang dared to make such a decision, probably because she has full confidence in "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas".

Although the competition for the Spring Festival stalls is fierce, at the same time, there are many people watching movies, and the box office is relatively much higher than usual.

Greater risks also mean greater opportunities.

What about Hollywood blockbusters?

Their movie special effects are not lost to Hollywood.

As for the setting of the movie, Jiang Dongting felt that the setting of Huaguo's "Shan Hai Jing" can completely beat Hollywood movies that only know about fighting and killing.

The reason why he felt guilty was because he was overwhelmed by Hollywood's reputation, and he always felt that his side couldn't compare.

But... If you put aside the aura of Hollywood, their movies may not fail to win.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dongting's heart settled down again.

Sister Liang is so calm as the producer of this film, why should he be timid before fighting?

"Okay sister Liang, I understand." He replied.

———

Lu Group, headquarters.

The overall situation of the Lu family is not what it used to be. The working environment reveals a bit of depression everywhere, and everyone is a little absent-minded in the studio.

The originally lush and pleasing green plants have been left unattended for a long time, and the leaves have turned yellow. The rest area is also a bit messy and unattended.

Today's Lu family is not what it used to be.

Executives have left one after another, many subsidiaries have closed down, the company has laid off employees on a large scale, and even employee benefits have been greatly reduced.

Although the group is still holding on, everyone can see that this behemoth is at the end of its strength.

In the office.

"Mr. He, we have already negotiated about this project a long time ago! How can you just withdraw the investment?"

Director Lu sat at his desk with a gloomy expression.

"Director Lu, there is nothing we can do," Mr. He said in a casual tone, "We have also been short of funds recently, and there is really no way to continue to cooperate with you."

Dong Lu gritted his teeth, feeling heavy.

Where is the other party's capital turnover?

Obviously, seeing that the situation of the Lu Group is getting worse and worse, they don't want to have further cooperation with them.

I still remember that in order to hug Lu's thigh, the man surnamed He even took the initiative to reduce the profit and share, just to cooperate with Lu's.

As a result, now, seeing Lu's loss of power, not only took advantage of the danger to ask for an increase in share, but now, they actually want to terminate the cooperation!

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you have any doubts about the share, we can talk about it..."

"No need," the other party interrupted him directly, "Director Lu, this project is not up to me... I have to think about the company too. Let's get in touch later when we have time."

The voice fell, and the other party hung up the call directly.

Holding the receiver, Lu Dong was stunned for a long time before slowly putting it down.

The weather was a bit cold, and the heating was not turned on in the office. He slumped on the back of the chair, completely missing the vigor and vigor when he was in power.

"Tu Tuk" came two knocks on the door, and then Lu Yanchen pushed the door open and entered.

"Eddie Audio Studio's funds are tight, and the software under development is also short of funds, so the development has been temporarily stopped..."

He paused, then looked at Director Lu with a slumped face: "These two projects...do you want to give up?"

Lu Dong's lips trembled, but he didn't speak.

Although it hasn't been long, but now, he seems to be ten years older than before.

Once there is a gap in funds, it is like opening a Pandora's box, and all kinds of bad news come out one after another.

However, Hudi Entertainment has no intention of stopping its expansion, whether it is actors, singers, or film and television dramas, radio dramas, and animations, it has to dabble in something.

The Lu family's territory has been continuously compressed, and now, there is almost no room for them in the entertainment industry.

Lu Yanchen was silent, and finally said slowly: "It's better, let's stop in time..."

All the projects that are still under development should be stopped immediately, and those companies should be sold as soon as possible, so that the Lu family can get out sooner.

Although they will lose their power and status, no matter what, this huge amount of wealth will allow them to live comfortably for several lifetimes.

And if the company goes bankrupt, then they will not only lose their power and status, but even... will bear huge debts.

"Enough!" Lu Dong said with a gloomy face, "Stop talking, it's impossible."

They haven't come to a desperate situation yet, as long as they get through this crisis, the Lu family will still be a wealthy family, and they can still retain their current wealth status.

Under such circumstances, how could he willingly choose to let go?

"Ada, Sound, Sky Technology... These projects are all suspended," Director Lu took a deep breath, and said slowly, "In the next time, we will fully invest in the film and television sector."

The Lu Group's initial fortune was based on investing in film and television works.

After successively investing in many TV dramas and movies, all of which were successful, the company accumulated funds and began to cultivate its own artist team.

Now, isn't it just going back to the original situation?

They haven't lost yet, Lu's still has a chance.

Lu Yanchen was silent for a moment, and finally he could only nod his head: "Okay, I understand."

In fact, it's not just Lu Dong who is unwilling, but Lu Yanchen is equally unwilling.

Obviously before he met Yao Bianliang, he was still a wealthy young master, a casual sentence could decide the life or death of an artist.

But now, a gigantic giant like the Lu Group is going straight to destruction because of Yao Bianliang, a little star with no background...

It's such a shame.

Every time he thinks of this, Lu Yanchen suffers in his heart.

"By the way, Hudi Entertainment, is there any new news recently?" Dong Lu calmed down and spoke slowly.

Hearing the name Hudi Entertainment, a flash of hatred and ridicule flashed in Lu Yanchen's eyes.

"It's nothing else, but Yao Bianliang's new movie is about to be released—according to the current situation, there is a high probability that it will be scheduled for the Spring Festival."

Director Lu was taken aback: "Yao Bianliang's new movie?"

Time has passed so long, he has almost forgotten what movie Yao Bianliang is preparing for recently. After a little recollection, I remembered it.

That's right, the "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" with an investment of nearly two billion.

Lu Dong's fingers tightened slightly, and a strong unwillingness rose in his heart.

The Lu Corporation is now in turmoil, but Yao Bianliang has returned with a big-budget movie.

But now, the Lu Group is powerless to stop her, let alone block her like it did back then.

They can only watch her climb to the top of the entertainment industry and start a new era with Hudi Entertainment.

How could this make him happy?

Lu Yanchen added: "However, having said that... the Hollywood blockbuster directed by Mi Xiu will also be released in the mainland during the Spring Festival."

He paused, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yao Bianliang and the others had thousands of choices, but they chose this schedule."

Dong Lu's eyes moved slightly.

Yao Bianliang's new movie coincides with a movie directed by Mi Xiu?

I don't know whether it is really powerful, or there are ignorant people who are fearless.

Lu Yanchen sat down on the chair slowly: "You know, Hollywood international blockbusters are not comparable to those domestic movies."

When he said this, there was a flash of hostility in his eyes.

I don't know if it's because the overall quality of domestic film and television works is worrying, which gives Yao Bianliang an inexplicable confidence that he can compete with Hollywood blockbusters.

He would like to see if Yao Bianliang's hugely invested movie can return its original cost after colliding with the movie directed by Mi Xiu!
