Chapter 90: Screening(1/3)
I sat for a few minutes.
Ning Luoxia also regained her fighting spirit. She stood up and looked at Lin Yuan and said seriously.
"We need to work hard."
"kindness!"
Lin Yuan nodded heavily and looked at the other party with a firm look and answered.
After the conversation ended, the two of them left the conference room together.
Not long after, Lin Yuan returned home alone.
Sister Xia continued to sit in the company to prepare for publicity.
Now the pressure has come to her and Lin Yuan's shoulders. She can no longer be lazy. She must make good use of the 500,000 promotional fee to accurately help Lin Yuan attract more fans. Only in this way can she breathe a sigh of relief.
With this idea in mind, Sister Xia worked hard directly on this.
Time blinks to March 5th.
During these three days, Lin Yuan basically stayed at home to read the script, mainly reading "One Man's Martial Arts".
In his opinion, Lu Deshui's script is relatively simple, mainly satirizing a certain phenomenon in today's society. If you pass the acting skills, you can make it perfectly. However, "One Man's Martial Arts" is different. This drama not only considers acting skills, but also considers martial arts scenes. After the whole drama, Feng Yuxiu was either fighting or on the road to fighting. For this reason, he has already prepared. Before filming this drama, you must find a way to go to the set of some martial arts scenes and pick up a good wave of attributes.
With his current attributes, he felt that basic body skills were fine, but he was a little unfavorable for other martial arts moves. He could barely pass the audition level, but when the filming was done, he couldn't guarantee that he could shoot the picture the director wanted.
Once the director is dissatisfied, then waiting for his ending is 100% resigned.
With the lineup of this drama, the director will never be ruthless. If he says one thing, he will stay. If he doesn't work, he will get out early. They will also recruit people early.
Therefore, Lin Yuan dared not relax at all. For him, as long as he passed the audition, this is the first time he played with a super first-line actor in his life, and it is also the first time he became a starring actor. Its significance is no longer a matter of pay and box office, but a milestone event in his life.
"Dingling!"
Also while Lin Yuan was immersed in this script, Sister Xia called.
The first sentence that the other party spoke was simple and clear.
"The Embroidered Chun Dao is released. In the past few days, you put down everything you have and keep in touch at any time. Once you have any signs of being popular, I will arrange various reporters to interview you as soon as possible to build momentum for you!"
Upon hearing this news, Lin Yuan nodded quickly. He was immersed in the script and almost forgot about this top priority.
"Okay Sister Xia."
After answering, the two of them didn't talk much and hung up the phone soon.
Originally, Lin Yuan was going to go directly to the cinema to see his debut work after becoming a contracted artist.
But after thinking about it, it was too early and most people who watched the movie went to the evening, so he changed his mind and prepared to go to the cinema to watch his drama at night when the crowds were the most crowded.
Some data can also be seen through the on-site reaction.
Lin Yuan, who maintained this idea, finished breakfast and continued to sit at home and started reading the script. He basically did not waste any time. Maybe he was not the best actor, but he was definitely the most competent actor among the newcomers.
Time is coming to 7:30 pm.
Lin Yuan appeared at the entrance of a cinema in the most prosperous commercial street in Shanghai.
It was almost nine o'clock after watching a scene.
After watching this drama, Lin Yuan left with the driver and assistant.
When he walked into the car, the little assistant said with a smile almost all the way: "Brother Lin, I am convinced of your acting skills. Didn't you laugh when you filmed?"
"No!" Lin Yuan thought for a while, he really didn't laugh. After answering, he continued to add: "But Wang Qianyuan and the others laughed, and later the director drove them away to avoid NG."
“Niu Niu Niu!
!” The assistant couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed, and stretched out his thumb to praise him.
At this time, the driver couldn't help but speak: "Brother Lin, I think you will become popular just by relying on this role. It's not because I'm just bragging you for work, but after I watched the whole movie, I don't remember the other plots very much, but I still remember the scene of you saying the extra money in my mind."
The driver is not praising Lin Yuan, he has a heartfelt view.
The quality of the whole drama is excellent, but he has watched many such stories.
Whether it is similar or Jinyiwei, it is not the first time he has watched it. In addition, except for the character Ding Xiu, the other actors in this movie, perform more step by step. If you have to praise it, you will be good and not let people get out of the show. Apart from that, he can't find any praise.
On the other hand, the role of Ding Xiu played by Lin Yuan did not last long, but every time he appeared, it left a deep impression on the audience, especially the scene that required extra money, which was a scene that was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"I hope so!"
Lin Yuan knew that the driver was sincere, but the too low occupancy rate made him unable to get up to the good mood, so he forced a smile and replied.
After answering again, Lin Yuan was not stingy and took the two of them to have a midnight snack together. This was to celebrate the release of his first drama. For this reason, he specifically asked the two of them to eat with their arms out of their arms and not to be polite to eat whatever they want.
.........
At the same time, Xitian Company.
In Manager Huang's office, she did not leave the company at 8 o'clock in the evening, but was processing company documents and formulating documents on promotional and distribution expenses.
While she was working, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
"Dongdongdong!"
"Please come in!" Manager Huang replied without raising his head.
There are still many people who have not left this company. As a newly opened company, this phenomenon is also common.
The door opened and a young girl in her twenties walked in.
As soon as she came in, she said, "Manager Huang, what you asked me to do is complete."
Manager Huang put down his work the next second, looked up at the little girl, and then asked, "What do you mean?"
The little girl did not waste her time and whispered to Manager Huang about her work.
"At 6 o'clock in the evening, I went to the cinema with the largest traffic in the city and watched the movie "Embroidered Chun Dao". The attendance rate is not high and the number of films is not large. According to my personal estimate, this movie will not be very popular, and it will be difficult for the box office to exceed 100 million!"
The little girl is a subordinate of Manager Huang. As soon as the Xiuchundao was released, Manager Huang sent her to watch the movie on site. The purpose of asking her to do this is very simple. It is to judge whether Lin Yuan's movie will become popular based on the on-site screening volume, attendance rate, and film quality.
Although she compromised during the meeting a few days ago, she still had some objections, so she was the one who was most concerned about the other party's box office besides the parties involved, because if the other party is really popular, she would also have to find a way to deal with it.
It is normal for her to have this idea, and there have been many people in the entertainment industry who have become gods.
For example, the grassroots movie emperor Baby, he became a god with his own film "Blind Well", and was later selected into the crew of "The World Without Thieves", and then became completely popular.
In the case of previous cases, Manager Huang naturally dared not underestimate it.
If "The Embroidered Spring Sword" really made Lin Yuan a god, she would definitely try her best to remedy it. In these days, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!
But now after hearing the report from her subordinates, she felt relieved.
"Yeah, I get it."
With her subordinates’ work experience, she can say that the estimated box office is no more than 100 million, which proves that the movie will not be much better. Therefore, Manager Huang nodded and didn’t want to worry about this matter.
But at this moment, the little girl who was reporting on the work did not leave, but stood there and looked at Manager Huang stammering, looking a little reluctant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Manager Huang asked with a frown.
"Manager Huang, I don't know if I can say anything." The little girl thought about it and finally asked.
"You said!" Manager Huang asked curiously.
"This is just my personal opinion. Manager Huang. The overall production of this movie is well-made and the quality is also very good. At least it is much better than the martial arts films released in recent years. The reason why the filming is not high is that most of the time it is because of their team's zero promotion and promotion."
"According to my understanding of the movie, if the movie is properly promoted and distributed, the box office may be at least 300 million. Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that after I watched the whole movie, I don't know why. In short, I only remember the clips of the role of Lin Yuan. To be honest, the acting was very good, and there was also a famous scene. Should we pay attention to this?"
When the little girl finished speaking.
Manager Huang's expression also changed from doubt to speechlessness.
A movie that can’t even make a 100 million box office, so what if Lin Yuan performs well? As for famous scenes? Which movie doesn’t have one or two famous scenes? If every famous scene is remembered by the audience, then won’t domestic actors be on the top-tier level per capita?
As for only remembering Lin Yuan's clips, she thought that this was the reason why her subordinates had preconceived ideas. It was precisely because she asked the other party to observe carefully that she stared at Lin Yuan with all her concentration. After the end of the film, naturally there were only clips about Lin Yuan in her mind.
"It's okay, don't worry. After you finish your work, go back and rest first." Manager Huang didn't take the other party's words in his heart. He simply replied and issued the order to expel the guest.
"Yeah." The little girl was just a person who was doing business. She could only give objective analysis. The final decision had nothing to do with her. So when she heard the manager's words, she left the office obediently and gently closed the office door.
After his subordinates left, Manager Huang casually made the documents, then shook his head and said softly: "Hey, I think I am the protagonist, but where are there so many protagonists in this world?"
.........
In the office not far from Manager Huang.
Ning Luoxia also arranged professional film and television analysts to watch the movie.
At this moment, the person she arranged also walked into the office to report.
As the two chatted, Ning Luoxia's expression became more and more solidified.
The film and television analyst did not care about her expression and seriously said his analysis: "Objectively speaking, this movie will not be very popular, and even a high probability of failing. The only thing worth mentioning is that your artist performed very well in this drama...but...but the overall box office is not high, and no matter how outstanding it is, it is just redundant. The box office is greater than everything this year."
"Okay, I get it."
Ning Luoxia's face was already so gloomy that it was about to drip out of water. The meeting to apply for publicity fees a few days ago was still vivid in my mind. After this incident, the company soon came to all kinds of unpleasant public opinion. It can be said that except for the boss, all other agents wanted to watch the two of them fall to the ground, because only in this way can they relieve their discomfort.
Therefore, these days are very painful for Ning Luoxia. She always looks forward to the release of the movie, hoping that Lin Yuan can become popular with this movie, and then eliminate all rumors in the company. But now after listening to the film and television analysts, she knows that it’s cold and everything is cold.
I will definitely become the hottest person in the company for the next period of time.
To be continued...
