Chapter 320 The collapsed "Warring States", who dares to poach Huayi?
Since the premiere of "Warring States", Starlight has once again increased its promotional efforts.
The shadow of this movie is everywhere in the media and in theaters.
Finally, the time has come for the release.
On the portal, a headline appeared very early: ""Warring States" will be officially released today."
"The popular young actress Jingtian plays the role of Tian Xi, a female general who is capable of both literary and military skills in "Warring States"!"
"The special effects of "Warring States" are stunning and not to be missed."
"Tian As the top special effects company in China, Gong Color has provided unparalleled special effects support for "Warring States"..."
.........
The publicity reports on the Internet are very good, which is really attractive. A large number of audiences entered the theater.
Many of the guests who attended the premiere that day were also paying attention to the first-day box office of "Warring States".
After all, this movie does seem a bit hard to describe.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were also curious about the data on the first day.
He heard that the number of films arranged by Wanda was quite high.
The next morning, the box office data of "Warring States" appeared on the portal.
17.5 million!
When seeing this good number, Lin Nan didn't feel surprised, because it was the first day after all.
But the Internet has been completely noisy.
"I have watched "The Promise", "The Golden Armor", "The Night Banquet"...and "Warring States"! Oh my god..."
"What on earth will I do? What the hell?”
"It's indescribable, it's rotten to the core."
"The lines in the script are simply idiotic and disgusting to the extreme..."
"The director has a serious lack of historical knowledge, the screenwriter has not graduated from elementary school, and the actors are all It’s an embarrassing performance..."
"This comedy is actually pretty good..."
…………
A large number of negative reviews and ridicules appeared on the Weibo of "Warring States", and they are increasing rapidly.
The few positive reviews are a bit conspicuous.
“The special effects are not to mention, Director Lin’s heavenly colors try his best, but they can’t carry this movie...”
“Every shot of Jing Tian is beautiful! But Her acting skills are really not up to par with the leading heroine.
And the director and production team she found are really rubbish..."
.........
Lu Zheng was also paying attention to the comments from the outside world at this moment, and his face turned gloomy and dark.
Jing Tian on the side was also panicked and didn't know what to do.
She never thought that she would mess up the movie. Although this cannot be blamed on any one person at all.
“This is only the first day, wait and see in a few more days...”
Lu Zheng glanced at Jing Tian, forced a smile, and comforted him.
The box office dropped by more than 3 million yuan the next day, closing at 14.2 million yuan.
On the third day, it dropped more than 3 million yuan and closed at 10.8 million yuan.
In the outside world, the reputation of "Warring States" is on the verge of collapse.
As a production company, Starlight "explained" several times, to no avail.
Sun Honglei, Jing Tian, Wu Zhenyu, Jiang Wu...
All the leading actors were spared and became the target of scolding.
The wording has no bottom line and dirty words...
Those directors who regretted not seizing the opportunity to direct "Warring States", a few of them, now have the feeling The feeling of surviving a disaster.
…………
As Lin Nan expected, he and Ning Hao were also involved.
“I’m very lucky that Director Lin and Director Ning Hao didn’t take on this play, otherwise...”
“It’s hard to say, if Director Lin had come in person to change the script, the result would have been It’s definitely not like this!”
“Upstairs, we have to replace Liu Yifei as the heroine...”
……
On the fourth day, the box office of "Warring States" dropped directly to 8.44 million.
The entire film industry understands that this, the only big-budget movie in April, is doomed to lose money.
The ridicule and abuse of the movie on the Internet has become more and more intense, and there is even a faint trend of online violence against actors.
At this time, the media began to contact the leading actors for individual interviews and interviews.
Sun Honglei behaved relatively rationally.
"Before it was released, I only watched the sample film, and I gave myself a score of 40. After watching the finished film, I gave myself a score of 20.
Not long after the filming started, I mentioned some of my concerns to the crew. I gave my own opinions and participated in the design of 'Sun Bin' that everyone sees now. Of course, it turns out that I was the one who ruined the character, haha..."
"This is the situation in the movie now, to be honest. , It’s not the fault of anyone.
If I’m really responsible, it’s the entire project’s fault. Maybe the direction was wrong when we started shooting.”
…… …
Wu Zhenyu was also very manly and didn't say anything to blame.
Jing Tian accepted the interview with a haggard spirit. It seemed that he was seriously affected by the voices on the Internet.
Something surprising happened.
Lin Nan never expected that the first actor to have a verbal dispute with the crew would be Jiang Wu.
The latter criticized the director and production team of "Warring States" by name in front of the media.
Frankly speaking, the director cut out a large number of his scenes, including the "best" parts, leaving only indifferent scenes. This is a very stupid behavior!
The director responded immediately and signed a 30-day contract. Jiang Wu only came for 7 days, and came in 5 times. This disrupted the filming rhythm of many other actors...
< br>Less than a week after the movie was released, the crew started fighting among themselves, and it immediately became a big joke in the industry.
The box office on the fifth day was 6.55 million;
The box office on the sixth day was 4.15 million.
So far, "Warring States" has been released for 6 days, and the box office revenue in the first weekend was 61.64 million.
Compared with its huge investment cost, this data is simply a shame.
But even so, the first weekend's score of 61.64 million is still the weekly box office champion in the past two months.
The sluggishness of the film market is evident.
The crew of "Guan Yunchang" is a bit of a thieves, and now they jumped out and stepped on "Warring States".
"Adaptation cannot be without 'edges'. The historical blockbuster "Guan Yunchang" is about to be released!" This sudden additional slogan is nakedly talking about the most criticized criticism of "Warring States", "ignoring history and making random changes." .
The scolding of Jing Tian on the Internet has not decreased, but has increased. There are all kinds of unpleasant content...
This reminds Liu Yifei of her past experience again. , those rumors against me back then.
“She looks a bit like me back then.”
"You were much worse than this back then! But it's okay, you know how to give yourself chicken soup, haha..."
Lin Nan ignored Liu Yifei's eye roll and said with a smile.
Jing Tian only had backlash because of the strong support of Lu Zheng for a movie.
Liu Yifei blocked the way of a lot of actresses at that time. People were slandering her and making rumors about her everywhere. Now I can understand her feelings.
“You are the only one who talks a lot! At that time, you were just like a piece of wood, and you didn’t know how to call me to comfort me.”
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei suddenly remembered something and said angrily, glaring at her boyfriend.
“A boy calls his underage daughter all day long. My mother is not sure what to think of me.
Besides, don’t I often send text messages to chat with you? And I called many times and was answered by my aunt..."
Before Lin Nan finished speaking, Liu Yifei burst into laughter.
She recalled that at that time, she often hid in bed and secretly called Lin Nan, but she was often caught by her mother, as if she was being watched.
…………
This is Zhao Liying’s last visit to Huayi Brokerage Company.
Even if you have said you will not renew the contract, there are still some necessary formalities that you still have to go through and sign.
"Liying, do you really want to leave?"
Some young artists who happened to be in the company also asked curiously after seeing Zhao Liying.
In the past, everyone was a competitor, competing for some small roles. But since everyone else is leaving, there is no competition.
"Yes, I have been in the company for five years and want to change my career."
Zhao Liying nodded, said with a smile, and then walked to Li Xie's office.
Although Li Bingbing left Huayi and opened his own studio. But her sister is still the boss and actual manager of Huayi Brokerage Company.
The fate of all artists must pass through Li Chong's hands in the end.
"Why does she look different?" someone asked doubtfully.
"What's different? Don't you still look the same?"
Zhao Liying was originally the champion of Feng Xiaogang's group on "Yahoo Star Search". It stands to reason that she has something to do with this great director. What's going on? He wouldn’t be in such a miserable state!
But this is Huayi, and the company's habit is to let newcomers go around without paying much attention, let alone rural girls with no background and non-scientific background.
“There seems to be a slight change. I used to be very introverted when I met people, but this time I was so generous?!”
Li Chong's office.
There are two young artists whose contracts with the company have expired recently and have not renewed their contracts.
When the broker’s report came up, Li Qie took a serious look at it.
The one who came here today, how should I put it, has also acted in several TV series. He is quite cute, but he is not active.
In her opinion, this kind of appearance still has a future. Of course, a better chance may be needed.
There was a knock on the door, and Li Chong shouted to come in.
The moment Zhao Liying came in, she was a little nervous. After all, it was almost impossible for a young artist to have the opportunity to enter Li Xie's office.
But the next moment, Zhao Liying returned to her normal state of mind because she remembered Yue Jun's words.
"Mr. Li, my contract has expired, I will handle the formalities."
Li Qie looked at Zhao Liying carefully. He didn't pay much attention to these young artists before, but now At first glance, he looks really good.
"Have you thought about it? Huayi is a top company in the industry. After leaving, it will be difficult to come back."
Li Cong reminded him casually, giving the girl in front of him the last chance.
“I have already made up my mind not to renew the contract.”
Zhao Liying is very firm and decisive.
“Huh?”
Li Cong frowned, and then a subtle sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Li Jie had a new conclusion about Zhao Liying. This kind of young actor who has no emotional intelligence and no appreciation will have no future.
"Then sign this 'contract expiration document'. From now on, you can't use Huayi's name to answer announcements outside..."
In less than five minutes, Zhao Liying brought My own document left Huayi Brokerage Company.
“Go and delete her information from the official website.”
"Mr. Li, do you need to make another announcement?"
"No, for a little-known artist, wouldn't making an announcement also serve as an advertisement for her..."
... ...
As soon as Zhao Liying walked out of the door of Huayi Brokerage Company, a bright smile appeared on her face.
She couldn't wait to make a phone call.
"Director Yue, I have completed the procedures at Huayi."
"Okay."
…………
In the afternoon, Zhao Liying sent an external message Weibo.
"Today the five-year contract with Huayi Brokerage Company expired, and we broke up peacefully...".
There were not many likes, most of them were little actors who were more inconspicuous than her, but there were still a few celebrities in the industry.
For example, Jiang Yanrou, Xu Zheng...
In the afternoon of the same day, Guangguang announced the final casting list for "Four Famous Catchers".
On the list, there is only one!
"The female lead in "The Four Famous Catchers": Ruthless will be played by actress: Zhao Liying."
As soon as the news about the Rays was announced, it attracted the attention of the industry.
Most actresses and agencies have never heard of this name. I really don’t know where the connections came from!
Only the Huayi Brokerage Company was instantly lively.
When the people below told Li Chong about this, the latter looked like he had seen a ghost.
“This is obviously because the contract has not expired, so we have contacted the next buyer! Who dares to poach Huayi?”
"I'm going to the film and television company. I have to talk to Mr. Wang. Haha..."
