Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1225 Another Joining in the Fun

"Go! What do you mean?" Lin Qisan said to Zhao Rui dissatisfied, "What is it that you can't pass the audition, and I can't pass it? You mean my acting skills are not good? Bayi said just now, neither of us are acting. problem!"

"No, no!" Zhao Rui said with a smile, "I didn't say that your acting skills are not good, otherwise, how could I agree to play this web drama with two male protagonists with you. Anyway, I just think there is Bayi, and we both have auditions. , Either! It turns out that my hunch is very correct!"

  "What plans do you two have for this time in the future?" Xiao Yao ignored Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, turned around and asked Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiguli, "The husband sings with the wife, do you work on that online drama project with them?"

Although Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiguli also told Xiao Yao that they wanted to play together at the end of the company’s annual meeting, after the script came out, neither of them was interested in any role in the script and did not sign up. Participate in the audition for this project.

   "No!" Zhu Zitong shook his head, "Their web drama is Dan Meixiang, basically there is no female lead, so we won't work on that project with them!"

   "Then you two will make another project with dual heroines?" Xiao Yao asked.

"I'm preparing to act, but I don't need the company to help me start a project, I found one myself." Zhu Zitong said, "A TV series, the producer wants me to act as the second girl! I've seen the script, it's not bad, and I am currently working on it. Let’s talk about it! If it goes well, you may join the group soon!"

"If it goes well? Isn't it determined yet?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile, "Do you need the company to participate in investment to help you increase weight? The box office of "Donkey Deshui" is good, and then the TV station and video website are there. Selling the copyright should be able to sell for a good price. The company will make a large sum of money after a while, and there should not be too much financial pressure!"

  During this time, in addition to being busy with the Golden Dragon Award ceremony and TV series audition, Xiao Yao has also been paying attention to the situation after the movie "Donkey Deshui" was released.

  At present, the movie has been in theaters for more than ten days. If you simply calculate from the number of weeks in theaters, it has reached the third week of theaters. Whether it is box office or word of mouth, the results of this movie can be said to be very good.

  The production cost of this movie is not high, and the cost of publicity is not very high, but the publicity effect is definitely very good.

  Starting from the publicity before the movie was released, the topic of the movie was very high. The first live-action film directed by Xiao Yao independently, Sun Tingting played the first female first in a film and television work for the first time, and sang the theme song of the movie created by Xiao Yao. Coupled with the love relationship between Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting that had been public for a long time, the film attracted enough attention during the initial publicity before the movie was released.

  At the Chinese All-Star Celebrity Game at the beginning of this year on the Gregorian calendar, Xiao Yao's proposal to Sun Tingting during the halftime performance is undoubtedly the biggest breaking news in the entertainment industry this year.

  Xiao Yao is the film’s producer, director, screenwriter, actor, and theme song creator, and Sun Tingting is an actor and theme song singer. In that midtime performance, the show that Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao performed together was the theme song of the movie, so when the news of Xiao Yao’s live proposal dominated the headlines of major entertainment news, this two-person collaboration film was also mentioned. , This movie, which has a lot of enthusiasm for this, has been promoted invisibly.

  It was more than a month before the movie was released. In the next more than a month, Xiao Yao's continuous appearance and many hot searches kept the topicality of the movie very well, and did not let it cool down.

  Time enters February, the biggest hot spot in the entertainment circle is the Spring Festival Gala. Among all the Spring Festival Gala programs, the most talked about programs are undoubtedly the two new songs by Xiao Yao on Yanjing TV Spring Festival Gala.

  At that time, Xiao Yao performed a total of three shows. Before that, there was a movie theme song performance with Sun Tingting. While Xiao Yao’s two new songs are full of topics, the previous two co-operating programs will naturally not be completely ignored. That program is the theme song of the movie, and the name of the movie is naturally mentioned repeatedly in news reports.

  After that, several variety shows that Xiao Yao participated in for the purpose of promoting the film were broadcast successively, which continued to well maintain the popularity of Xiao Yao himself and the movie.

  Xonan Satellite TV’s "Quick Book" and "Everyday Upward" are just regular shows. Xiao Yao took the crew to participate in the show to promote the film. The performance cannot be said to be bad, but it cannot be said to be a surprise. However, after the next few reality shows were broadcast, Xiao Yao was frequently searched.

  Xiao Yao participated in several reality shows, only one "Wild Kitchen" was broadcast before the film was officially released. But just for that show, the topic level is high enough.

With a single show of "Wild Kitchen", Xiao Yao has been hotly searched on topics such as "cheat guests to eat spiders", "now learn to sing in Keno", "two new songs for picking tea", and "cooking hot", if not The program team was scrupulous that Xiao Yao said that it would not necessarily be implemented to help the guide record the Jinuo music album, and he did not know when to do it. If he cut the paragraph out for fear that it would cause Xiao Yao to cause trouble, Xiao Yao relied on this. The number of hot searches on a show can set a record.

  Although these hotly searched topics have little to do with movies, but these topics are hotly searched, and the number of Internet hits for this program is naturally not small. Xiao Yao's last episode was to promote the movie. With Wang Yuan's help, he blatantly advertised the movie several times. This effect was naturally leveraged.

  Sufficient publicity effects ensure the box office and theater schedule of the film at the beginning of its release. After the film is released, the audience’s word-of-mouth and evaluation begins to take effect.

After the premiere of   , film reviews from related media have come out one after another. Xiao Yao likes to place the movie premiere at midnight before the movie is released, which is the same as the midnight time of some theaters. Therefore, when the media's film reviews came out, the ratings of the movies by ordinary viewers on the rating website also appeared. Compared with the media's film reviews, Xiao Yao pays more attention to the evaluation of ordinary audiences.

  This is a comedy with black humor. First of all, just look at the comedy. The burden of the comedy is pretty good. Especially Xiao Yao, who has experience as a foreign exchange student, has always been known for his good English. At the beginning, most of the people who performed the original English voice dubbing in "Sound on the Scene" actually talked about that kind of **** English in the movie, even more so. There is a special bonus effect.

  From the character image, the two characters played by Xiao Yao and He Ying are quite subversive, especially He Ying, which is not recognized by many people. Although Sun Tingting's character image is beautiful, it is far from her original image. The charm beyond her age really surprised many audiences.

  The subversion of the character image proves the acting skills of several actors from the side. When it comes to acting, the actors in the whole movie perform very well. On the whole, this is a group show. In the eyes of the audience, the acting skills of all the main actors are online. Even the young, little-known girl who played "Sun Jia", Guan Jing, who is said to be still a school student and played "Zhou Tienan", who used to give the audience the impression that he was more inclined towards small fresh meat, felt like acting well. They are all pretty good.

  The most important thing is that in such a movie wrapped in a comedy shell, it actually has a very deep theme. The phrase "Tell a joke, don't cry" in the slogan is not an exaggeration. Many viewers felt a kind of anger and helplessness when they saw the back. It is hard to say whether they cry at the scene, but they feel uncomfortable. .

   Xiao Yao’s title of evildoer has been called for many years, and his performance in filming and acting has always been good, but he is still a very young young man after all. Although his film scores are good, in terms of movie themes, whether it is an animated movie with a science fiction love comedy theme or a parkour movie with a sports theme, they are still in line with Xiao Yao's age.

  The audience never thought that Xiao Yao would come across such a subject that touched on social realities, and he shot so well. Even knowing that Xiao Yao is an evildoer, this is beyond the expectation of many viewers. In addition to being surprised, this also added a lot of viewers' favor towards Xiao Yao.

  So, generally speaking, whether it is the media or the general audience, the ratings and evaluations of this movie are very high.

  Don't talk about the media, after all, there will be soft articles that take money to do things. On the rating website, the initial rating after the movie was released was around 8.5 points, and now it has stabilized at around eight points. It is estimated that the fluctuation will not be too great later. Although this score is slightly lower than that of the original movie in the previous life on Douban, it is already a very high score in horizontal comparison.

  Among several movies released in March, this movie has the highest rating. Even if you add the previous New Year's Day and Spring Festival films, this movie ranks second among all the movies released in the first three months of this year. Considering that this is the first live-action film independently directed by Xiao Yao, this result can definitely be said to be very eye-catching.

  The initial box office was good, and the evaluations given by the media and the audience were very good. The box office trend of this movie is naturally very good. Generally speaking, the best box office of a movie is in the first week of its release, and then the box office of a single day will go down. Different movies only have a different rate of drop in the box office of a single day.

During the two weeks since the movie was released, Xiao Yao participated in several reality shows such as "The Voice of Dream", "Instant Electronic Music", "Actor's Character" and other reality shows. There was a wave of publicity. Some viewers who didn't know or were not interested in this movie knew from these programs that Xiao Yao had a new movie to be released, and they would naturally become interested when they look at the ratings and reviews. Some viewers who had seen it before, after watching Xiao Yao's performance in the show, it is not uncommon for them to go to the theater to do the second show.

  The initial box office of this movie is good, and the word-of-mouth is good. This single-day box office decline is already relatively low. Coupled with the publicity after several programs were broadcast during the release period, this decline was even lower. On the weekend of the second week and the first two days of the third week, the single-day box office even achieved a reverse decline compared to the previous few days and the same period of the previous week.

  Currently, the movie's release date is only about half, and the total box office has exceeded 500 million. After the Spring Festival, this relatively weak movie market has almost booked the box office champion in March.

  According to the proportion, the box office of 500 million, the producer can allocate more than 100 million, and the movie has not been released yet, the box office will increase later, and it is very possible that the producer’s share will reach more than 200 million. The production cost of this film is less than 20 million. Even if it is released now, it is already several times the income, which can be said to be a big profit.

  After the movie is released, there will be TV stations and video websites to buy the copyrights for TV and network broadcasts. The higher the box office of a movie, the higher the copyright in this area will naturally be sold.

  Although the box office share has not yet arrived, and the broadcast copyright of TV stations and video websites has not yet begun to discuss, these benefits can be predicted, so Xiao Yao is now full of confidence.

"No!" Zhu Zitong smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to do things like keeping the money for our own projects and bringing funds into the team! I have a lot of advertising endorsements, even if I want to bring funds into the team, I am too. Find those advertisers to invest, and I won’t let the company use investment to help me change roles!"

"Do you really think that August 1st will use investment to help you change roles?" Zhao Rui said to Zhu Zitong, "He is showing off the box office of the movie that shows him and Doer! Okay, know you are great, you two Amazing, another hit!"

   "Thank you for the compliment!" Xiao Yao chuckled, "But I am not just showing off, I really have this meaning!"

"In this way," Xiao Yao said to Zhu Zitong, "You don't need company investment to help you fight for your role. I agree. I believe you can take down the role by yourself. But, after all, this is a project of another family. You don't bring capital. Entering the group will not mess with the crew, but there is no guarantee that other actors who bring money into the group will mess with the crew. Let’s not bully others, nor let others bully!”

"What do you mean? I will be bullied when I play the second female role?" Zhu Zitong said, "The actors in this drama are all actors with good acting skills and reputation, and they won't bring money. Entering the group is not the kind of person who bullies newcomers."

"It's not new for leading actors to bring capital into the group," Xiao Yao smiled. "Don't you know that many supporting roles are stuffed into the group by the gold master? Because it is not the protagonist, those actors who bring capital into the group are more likely to be chaotic. Come on. A few days ago, there was a gossip media report saying that some actor brought money into the group. Relying on the sponsor behind him, he randomly asked for the addition of a drama in the crew to change the role of a female fourth. After the second female, the filming cycle of the crew was prolonged for more than a month, not to mention, the female one had to make up dozens of scenes later!"

   "You said..." Zhu Zitong said.

  Although it was gossip news, some people came forward to clarify it later, but as insiders, they naturally knew what was going on.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I was very upset at the time, but we can't care about other people's affairs. We can't stretch our hands too long, so as not to offend people for no reason. But if there are our people in the crew, the situation will be fine. It's different!"

"What I want to say is," Xiao Yao continued, "If you encounter such a situation, don't swallow your grievances. It is a bad idea to resign and leave to pay the penalty. After all, you have paid for the role. In this case, you should make it clear to the production team that they should kick the Hu Lai actor. Isn’t it just money? Our company will make up for the big deal! A nonsense supporting role, and a female second for the sake of the crew. Under the same funding conditions, the crew can definitely make the right choice, right?"

   "The same goes for other people!" Xiao Yao looked at the other people again, "Anyone of us in the crew encounters such a situation, we do the same!"

   "Okay! I agree!" Lin Qisan nodded first, "The environment is like this, we don't care about other people's affairs, but as long as it is related to our own people, we must not be bullied!"

   "Okay!" Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong also nodded.

"The next play of a few of us will be led by our own company. Doer will not encounter this situation if she wants to participate in a variety show. Except for Zi Tong, only Nina is left." Xiao Yao watched Said to Nina, "Nina, do you have any plans during this time? Do you want to go outside to pick up the show like Zitong or participate in the company's project?"

   "I didn't plan to take the show this time!" Nina Ayiguli smiled, "I'm going to participate in a dance reality show!"

  "Dancing reality show?" Xiao Yao was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Sun Tingting, "Could it be?"

   "That's right!" Nina Aiguli smiled and hugged Sun Tingting beside her, "It's the one that Duoer participated in!"

   "Another one to join in the fun?" Xiao Yao said speechlessly, turning his head to look at Sun Tingting.

"I didn't take Nina to go with me." Sun Tingting understood Xiao Yao's meaning and said with a smile, "But she did know that I was going to participate in that show, and then she said she would also go to that show. "

"I was good at dancing, and that was a dance show again." Nina Aiguli smiled, "When Duo'er said that she was going to participate in that show, I want to go there too. Anyway, I can be a company with Duo'er. Well!"

   "Partners? You should be competitors in the show." Xiao Yao smiled, "If you really want to be companions, Duoer already has a lot of partners in that show."

   "I know that there is your American friend named Jin!" Nina smiled, "Duoer told me! But Jin is an American, and I have to be with Doer if she really wants to be a company!"

  "Not only Jin, but also Cheng Xi!" Xiao Yao said, "Has Cheng Xi not told you? She wants to participate in that show too!"

  After Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng, Cheng Xi had notified him not to audition for the role of Anna in "Pretty Sister". She decided to participate in the reality dance show on Donghai TV.

   "What, Sister Cheng Xi is also going to participate?" Sun Tingting and Nina were surprised.

   "Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded, and said to Sun Tingting, "Did she not tell you?"

   "No!" Sun Tingting shook her head.

  "Maybe I haven’t had time to tell you!" Xiao Yao thought for a while, sighed and smiled, "The female guests of the show are very strong this season, and the competition must be fierce! I suddenly looked forward to this season’s show!"
