Chapter 314 There is more than one choice, "Dream Builder" ended with a box office of 1.6 billion!
What Sui Lingfang said completely relieved Jinli of her worries.
Jinli thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not that I can't drink, but my body has been weak all year round, so I don't drink if I can, and I don't like drinking either.
I thought at the time, if I chose to drink just to make peace, then I would be used as a basis for not drinking when I greeted other directors.
Why didn't you drink before, but you drank after being asked by this director? Isn't this a different treatment? I believe those directors will not be satisfied either.
The other thing is, once I choose to drink, I will keep drinking, endlessly. ”
Jinli said this and sighed softly: "Sister Fang, I don't like unnecessary socializing, it will affect my efficiency."
Sui Lingfang said "Yeah", "That's the truth."
After she sent Jinli back to the apartment, after much deliberation, she called Zhang Guang.
Chenxi Entertainment's number one star at present is Jinli, and its second star is Xi Mengze.
To be honest, it is impossible for the company to do anything to these two celebrities, and the announcements given to them are mainly based on their opinions.
Now that Jinli has done this, she can't say any more hindsight remarks, which will hurt the artist's heart.
But she was far from calm in her heart.
Zhang Guang was delivering the notice for March Tian's run at this time, and he was riding in the same car as March Tian.
He was busy with new people this month, and only took March Tian to make two announcements. Unexpectedly, this second time, he happened to bump into Sui Lingfang calling.
Zhang Guang picked up the phone and asked: "What's the matter?"
Sui Lingfang first asked: "Are you free? I have something to talk to you about."
Zhang Guang raised his eyebrows, intuitively telling him that Sui Lingfang's tone was not right.
He gestured to the group of boys behind him, and the noise of everyone eating barbecue was much quieter.
March Tian and Zhang Guang had a tacit understanding. As soon as they saw Zhang Guang's gesture, they knew there was an important call coming in and asked them to keep quiet.
Chen Lin didn't know what he thought of, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a message in the group chat.
Chen Lin: [I hope Brother Guang won’t give us any more announcements. This month I’ve already made announcements and reached the physiological range! ! ! 】
Luo Yi: [Don’t ask, just ask so we can save for retirement]
Chen Lin: [I think the current bank card balance makes me feel at ease, and I don’t have to save money anymore T^T]
Yan Xingdong: [Silly boy, who would think that there is too much money? 】
Gu Cheng: [Announcements that can make Brother Guang feel valued are not small announcements. Xiao Lin wants to give up a tens of millions of transactions? 】
Chen Lin: [Ah...I...let me think about it again...]
Zhang Guang didn't know the artists' complaints, but March Day's substantial announcement proved in disguise that they have appeal in the industry and are still at the top.
If they knew it, they would probably say the opposite: "You have to be lucky that there are still so many announcements this year. If the number of announcements next year drops, it will prove that you are out of luck!"
When it comes to how to cause artist anxiety, Brother Guang knows a lot about it.
Zhang Guang said to the mobile phone: "You can tell me when you are free."
Sui Lingfang told what happened to Jinli today.
After listening to this, Zhang Guang said with some surprise: "You guys protected Jinli really well. I thought she had encountered this kind of thing before and you had already determined your position."
Sui Lingfang was speechless for a moment.
Chenxi Entertainment is just a small workshop, and it has indeed never encountered these things before.
But if you think about it carefully, it may be because Chenxi Entertainment is a small workshop and has no network resources in the entertainment industry, so it cannot take the initiative to find top notices for Jinli. It is all top notices who take the initiative to find Jinli.
Anyone who comes to her has something to ask for, so Jinli has never been in a situation where she was made difficult by management or directors.
She suddenly thought of something and asked: "From what you say, I have met Yue Yue Tian a long time ago?"
Zhang Guang said calmly: "I met them when they first became famous. They have offended many people since they first debuted.
When it was time to form a group, the management wanted to get a few people to join their team. Tianding thought it was okay, but these guys didn't want to.
If they don't debut together as a team and destroy the integrity, then they won't debut and announce their withdrawal. If the artist is resolute, Tianding will have no choice but to be firm. ”
Sui Lingfang was silent for a while and said hesitantly: "But Jinli's situation is different from March Day's situation."
Zhang Guang said: "There is no difference. Jinli's current situation is actually better than that of March Day.
When March Tianding first debuted, no one believed they could continue their success in variety shows, and Tianding faced even greater pressure.
But Jinli is already a mature artist. Although the big directors are dissatisfied with her, they can't block her. Just because the director doesn't want to use her doesn't mean the platform doesn't want to use her.
Don’t forget, this is no longer the era when directors dominate the world. If a video platform wants to continue to develop, it must have a high-quality video library and produce several S-level hits every year.
But there are only so many high-quality movies, and every time you compete for them, you have to bleed a lot, and it is impossible for the platform to do business at a loss. Therefore, there are already some platforms that purchase the copyright themselves, hire people to shoot them, and then use their own exclusive channels. ”
Zhang Guang said keenly: "Those film and television platforms will definitely get involved in film production, but unlike the conservative film and television industry, film and television platforms don't care about your rules. Their biggest rule is to have traffic and get out of the industry.
So Jinli rejected them. Of course, she would offend a group of older directors, but at the same time, she already had two popular movies, "Dream Builder" and "No Survivor", and the market had proven her worth.
The film and television platform will not miss the opportunity to cooperate with her. On the contrary, they are probably a little worried about how to invite Jinli to participate in their platform's self-produced drama.
If this matter spreads, the platform will see hope. Your company will definitely receive many invitations for self-produced dramas in the future. ”
What Zhang Guang said was categorical, and he made his judgment based on experience.
Sui Lingfang breathed a sigh of relief.
Her vision is limited and her judgment of the overall situation is inaccurate.
The reason why she supports Jinli is that she personally thinks that Jinli's actions are not wrong, but she is not sure whether her career will not be affected.
After all, those big directors still have a lot of energy in the film and television industry.
Now listening to Zhang Guangyi's analysis, Sui Lingfang no longer felt uneasy, but instead felt a sense of enlightenment.
Oh, the more you want to block me, the more others will be hungry for talents!
Sui Lingfang smiled and said: "The film and television industry where a hundred flowers bloom is still good. Only when one family dominates will people have no choice."
After Zhang Guang hung up the phone, Gu Cheng took the lead and asked, "Brother Guang, I heard you mention Jinli. Did something happen to her?"
Zhang Guangfeng said lightly: "It's not a big deal, she just did it again what you guys did a few years ago."
Gu Cheng frowned slightly. They had done too many things to the management over the years.
Zhang Guang then added: "I just told the director in public that I will not participate in the banquet culture and that I will not drink when socializing in the future." Gu Cheng's brows widened and he said calmly: "So that's what happened. She is a female artist. It’s time to make our attitude clear.”
Chen Lin smiled and said: "Well done, let's see if there is another old guy who forces people to drink. We will never drink when socializing!"
Brother Guang looked up at the rearview mirror and said lightly: "Are you happy? Do you still want to maintain this special status?
Then you have to make more announcements to let everyone see the value of your top-level traffic, otherwise you will be the first to be stepped on by those people.
Jinli is different from you. She became popular too early. She entered a trough long ago, and then recovered from the trough. This kind of person has completely established herself in the industry, and everyone knows her.
Her popularity is her biggest base. No one in capital dares to confront her openly. These people don't cooperate with her, but there are many people who want to cooperate with her. ”
Brother Guang started talking again: "Oh, it would be great if you were as popular as Jinli. I could also enter the retirement life early..."
-
The next day, Jinli looked as usual and continued to participate in the drama road show of "Dream Builders".
She fulfills her promise: when the film will be removed from the shelves, she will stop promoting it.
It is also because Jinli has always been the backbone, so the tickets for the "Dream Builder" road show are sold out within seconds every time.
Director Zhong didn't seem to know about the episode that happened at yesterday's celebration banquet, and he didn't talk to Jinli about it alone.
As for Jinli, he would not take the initiative to talk to Director Zhong about this issue.
Everyone has a certain tacit understanding, or in other words, neither of them takes this matter seriously!
Director Zhong's wife heard the news from nowhere, so she called Director Zhong specifically to ask how Jinli was feeling.
Director Zhong glanced at Jinli, who was preparing to go on stage, and said, "The mood is very stable."
The wife said: "If Jinli is worried, you should talk to her carefully. Actors only need to do their job well, and there is no need to think about other things. I am just her future."
Director Zhong smiled: "Don't worry, she is not a fragile artist, nor does she worry about gains and losses. Since she refused, she will not regret it."
In turn, his wife complained to him: "You are the same. Why did you introduce some random directors to her, which made her reputation in the industry worse? I heard others say that everyone is saying that she is arrogant, domineering and unruly. ! ”
Director Zhong touched his nose embarrassedly, "Each director has a different personality, and I don't know that he will suddenly find trouble with Jinli... But don't worry, everyone has their own sense of discernment, and Jinli's career will be fine. ”
His wife warned him: "But this incident happened on your behalf after all. The child suffered a little loss. If you have any good resources in the future, give her more consideration."
Director Zhong smiled: "Don't worry, I introduced her into the circle just because I am optimistic about her, and I will not change my view of her just because of a trivial matter."
Although what he said now is not so straightforward, he has already introduced Jinli to it, and Jinli will be branded as "Ms. Zhong".
When directors in the industry mentioned Jinli, they all knew that she belonged to their own faction.
He is not as narrow-minded as those directors. In his eyes, it doesn't matter whether the actors drink or not.
On the day the "Dream Builders" movie was released, the total box office was fixed at 1.6 billion!
Unfortunately, it did not exceed the 1.7 billion of "The Dark Side", but it also achieved the second best result in the summer season, and also set a new box office record for Chung Wentai's personal record.
At that time, he told Jinli that if the box office performance was good, he would give Jinli a big red envelope.
At the celebration banquet, Director Zhong did not give any red envelopes, but on the day the film was released, the actors who were still on the set had a meal together, and Director Zhong gave them all a red envelope.
When Director Zhong handed the red envelope to Jinli, he specifically said: "Stick to your heart. Your idea is right. Don't worry about the rumors in the outside world."
Jinli's eyes flashed slightly and she nodded solemnly towards Director Zhong.
After dinner, Sui Lingfang came over to take Jinli to Chenxi Entertainment for a meeting.
This is an old tradition.
Every time Jinli finished a long announcement, she would return to the company for a meeting to hear the company's analysis of her popularity during this period, as well as future planning directions.
In the car, Jinli saw He Yixuan for the rare occasion and was a little surprised: "Long time no see, how are you doing recently?"
He Yixuan looked a little nervous, as if she was surprised that Jinli still had an impression of her, and said quickly: "It's good. I just came back from filming, and Sister Fang took me back to the company."
Jinli asked: "Are you going back for a meeting too?"
He Yixuan shook his head: "No, I live in the dormitory over there in the company."
She lowered her eyes and pinched her fingers.
Currently, the company only holds meetings for Jinli and Xi Mengze. Every time they finish their announcements, they have a meeting. Everyone is envious of them.
Jinli took the initiative and said: "Your new drama is online. Remember to tell me and I will help you forward the promotion."
He Yixuan said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Jinli!"
In her eyes, Jinli was really a kind-hearted person, and if he just wanted to be friends with her, she would be happy with it.
But why do they want to be in the same company?
Before there was only Jinli, but now Xi Mengze is added to the list. With Chenxi’s entertainment ability, I’m afraid he won’t be able to bring out the third one.
He Yixuan took a deep breath and made up her mind again.
When they arrived at the company, He Yixuan separated from them, and Jinli asked Sister Fang about He Yixuan's announcement.
Sui Lingfang said: "It is tepid, and she is still wandering around with three girls and four girls. She is unlucky. The drama with the second female lead that she exchanged with Xinrui Entertainment Resources has been launched, but it has not exploded.
The costume dramas that I acted in later were all the third and fourth female roles. I finally got a role in a youth film last year and played the second female lead, but that movie was to praise the new female lead and the new male lead.
Her character as the second female lead was not good. The youth movie was released this year and was a small hit, but she did not become a hit. ”
Speaking of this, Sui Lingfang felt a little pity.
"She has filmed a lot of movies in the past two years, but she has not had much luck."
Jinli thought for a while and asked, "How are you practicing your acting skills?"
Sui Lingfang: "I asked the acting teacher and she said it was quite satisfactory and not spiritual enough. She still has to polish it."
As a star of the same company whom he met not long after time travel, Jinli still hoped that He Yixuan would become famous.
She knew that He Yixuan worked hard, but this girl's personality didn't suit Sister Fang's taste.
Jinli said: "If it doesn't work out, let's go to a variety show to show off our face first."
Sui Lingfang sighed: "I mentioned to her that she doesn't want to appear in variety shows, she just has to film."
Jinli frowned: "You didn't accept any variety shows this year?"
Sui Lingfang: "Don't talk about this year, I haven't accepted it since last year."
Jinli: "Then why is she going to Tianding Entertainment? Qinglian told me before that she saw her at Tianding Entertainment. Does the company have any film and television cooperation projects with Tianding?"
Sui Lingfang was also stunned: "No!"
Good night
