After Zhang Shuo and Qu Lingbei received the phone call from Lu Chengyu, they could hardly believe their ears. Mr. Lu was able to contact the theater line so quickly, and the other party was the famous Yuhe Cinema in China, which was beyond their expectations. .
"This Mr. Lu is really not a simple character." Qu Lingbei thought of Lu Chengyu's usual behavior. The other party was a very personable and easy-going young man. From the director to the handyman in the crew, he seemed to have a good impression on him. .
Moreover, this person is well aware of the drawbacks of laymen guiding experts. When filming a movie, he never tells them what to do, and he never asks his screenwriter to revise the script just because an actor pleases him. This is really rare in the industry.
In this circle, screenwriters are a bit harsh, except for a few well-known screenwriters, most of them are forced to change the script from time to time, and even the male one becomes the second male, and the female one becomes the third female. They originally thought that Lu Chengyu wanted to play tickets by himself, that's why he did this. But in fact, this guy doesn't have much interest in filming, and even playing a small supporting role is for the sake of a suitable image and cost savings.
"Capacity is ability, but as long as I look at his face, I will unconsciously regard him as a college student who has just graduated," Zhang Shuo scratched his head, "Then let's send things over now?"
"If you don't send it, why don't you keep it for yourself to play?" He remembered that Mr. Lu designed the promotional poster, and the person who made the poster was also the person Mr. Lu contacted. "Hurry up and move things to the car."
The two moved the brochures and posters to the somewhat broken van, and drove all the way to Yuhe Film and Television City. When they arrived at the destination, they saw that Lu Chengyu was already waiting for them at the gate.
"You two have worked hard," Lu Chengyu walked to the two of them and helped carry a box of things, "I've already contacted Brother Su, we'll go up now."
Zhang Shuo followed him nervously. After entering the elevator, he asked very anxiously, "Mr. Lu, how many games will the owner of the movie city arrange for us every day?"
"Very worried?" Lu Chengyu turned his head and saw Zhang Shuo and Qu Lingbei were both nervous, so he smiled, "I believe in you, even if they arranged fewer seats at the beginning, they would definitely add more seats later."
Zhang Shuo and Qu Lingbei blushed a little when they heard this, but they felt that Mr. Lu's words were sincere, and it didn't seem like he was comforting them at all.
When the three came outside Su Yu's office, they saw that the door of the office was not closed, and Su Yu was talking on the phone.
Lu Chengyu took the two back a few steps. After Su Yu hung up the phone, he stepped forward and knocked on the door frame twice, and said from the door, "Brother Su, are you still busy?"
"Little Lu?" Seeing Lu Chengyu, Yu Yu let the three of them in with a smile. After a few words, he led the conversation to the main topic and began to talk about the issue of sharing and publicity.
Now that the theater chain doesn't get much money, Yu Yu has no intention of competing with Lu Chengyu in this area. Because Yuhe has many of its own cinemas, the main content of his discussion with Lu Chengyu is the division of cinemas.
Zhang Shuo and Qu Lingbei watched as Su Yu and Lu Chengyu called each other their brothers, while laughing and talking about the division. The scene was obviously very mild, but they felt a certain kind of confrontation.
"Okay, that's it, Brother Xi helped me this time, and I'm very grateful," Lu Chengyu sighed, "It's really hard to invest in movies now, I can get the box office income for the expenses of going out. If it is more than 35%, it is not bad.”
"There is no way to do this. The investment and construction of this cinema is not easy. It will cost tens of millions to build a small cinema, plus large and small projection equipment and other facilities." Yu Yu also sighed, "It's not easy for us, and it's just for the sake of eating."
Lu Chengyu nodded along with him, looking like he was a fallen person from the end of the world.
Zhang Shuo: "..."
Quling North: "… "
Did these two really consider their feelings when they said this
On the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which is also the 30th day of the Gregorian calendar, at eleven o'clock in the evening, "Flying Birds" was released silently. It's something that you haven't heard of, but because the posters are very eye-catching and the quality is good, some couples who have already started vacations bought tickets for this drama with a dispensable mentality. But despite this, the attendance rate was less than 20%, which seemed very deserted.
However, from the beginning to the end of the movie, almost none of the audience left the venue early, and they burst into laughter from time to time. The atmosphere was so warm that it didn't look like a show with a low attendance rate.
Halfway through the movie, someone started to post on Weibo, talking about the hilarity and wit of the film "Flying Birds", but because few people posted on Weibo, it didn't cause any reaction. When the movie was played in the second half, the content about the movie began to increase on Weibo, "Lulu Lulu: I'm going, it must be the wrong way of watching the movie, I seem to have seen a very popular movie some time ago. The grass-level scholar of the Q university appeared in the movie, the male god wearing glasses, he almost made the old lady cry. This drama is so funny, and tomorrow I will call my friends to watch it again. "
Lulu Lulu is also a well-known Weibo account. After she posted this Weibo, some people said that her Weibo was a marketing Weibo, and some people became interested in this drama, and asked who it was under Weibo. filming.
On the third day, "Flying Birds" has become a hot topic on Weibo, and some people even started to make pictures of the male protagonist in the play and the image of Gao Fushuai played by Lu Chengyu to make fun of Diaosi and Gao Fushuai.
But no matter what, the picture of Lu Chengyu wearing gold-rimmed glasses in the play and pushing the glasses with his right index finger has gone crazy on Weibo.
This small-budget movie was stunned at a time when the blockbusters were gathering, and the original attendance rate was less than 20%. But despite this, some people complained on Weibo that they went to line up to buy tickets at one o'clock in the afternoon, but only bought the 12 o'clock in the evening, and then expressed the hope that the movie theater will continue to add more shows for this movie, which shows how popular this movie is. .
Some media people joked that "Flying Bird" was a black bird killed in the film circle this year, some experts came out to study why the film was so popular, and some people said that this kind of low-level comedy film is just a box of fast food, it seems interesting , actually has no nutrition.
However, this statement was quickly pushed back, and even ridiculed that the expert criticized for the sake of criticism, and maybe even did not even watch the movie. Because even ordinary people can see that the director and screenwriter borrowed this comedy film to film the spirit and helplessness of the bottom-level characters, as well as the protagonist's optimistic attitude towards life and satire on certain social behaviors. Therefore, this is a good movie that conveys a positive spirit from beginning to end. It is humorous and witty, witty but full of spirit.
"This kind of film that conveys the spirit and is witty and relaxed is obviously a very good work, but in the eyes of some people it becomes worthless garbage. Maybe in the eyes of some people, the investment in the film is not over 100 million yuan, and the actors are not big names. If the style is not literary and artistic, it is not a good film. I wonder if the experts and professors who have this view are pathetic in the film industry or black humor?" This is what a folk film critic said on Weibo, which quickly attracted a lot of attention. People's forwarding and thinking.
On the fourth day of the movie's release, some people began to reveal that the total investment of "Flying Birds" was less than 3 million. In order to save costs, from the director to the crew's handymen, they all played various passers-by in the play.
Gao Boyang, the leading actor, joked on Weibo that the most valuable thing in the whole group is the sports car driven by Gao Fushuai. If there is a problem with the car, you will not be able to pay for everything that the crew sells.
Someone asked him on Weibo how the crew was so poor, how did they find this limited edition sports car
Gao Boyang replied that the investor asked a friend to borrow it, but he did not mention who the investor was, nor who the person who borrowed the car was, but the fans were not interested in the investor either. Anyway, in their impression, most of the investors' looks can be automatically marked with mosaics. Even if there is a better-looking uncle, they are all people from a family background, and no one will care about this.
The most popular characters in this movie are not the male and female protagonists, but the rich and handsome who have few male protagonists and cameras. I have to say that in this realistic face-seeing society, having a handsome face is still very cheap.
The number of Lu Chengyu's Weibo fans has risen to several million in just a few days, and the enthusiastic sisters call him a male god. However, some male movie fans don't seem to be so polite to him. They just praise him for his good performance. Those who like to ridicule and hate the rich call him a tall, rich and handsome guy who should be burned to death.
However, since most of his followers on Weibo are cute and sturdy girls, most of the time, these male compatriots will be hit by the girls' strong and rich language skills to the point of no scum.
Therefore, Lu Chengyu's favorite thing to do in recent days is to swipe the comments on Weibo below. However, it is also because of the strong fighting power of the sisters that he made up his mind that he must be as warm as the spring breeze in the future for his female compatriots, otherwise it will be a tragedy when the female compatriots become bone-shattering cold winds.
"It's great, my big sister from the Heavenly Dynasty!" He sighed for a while, so he posted such a Weibo with a cheap hand, and then sadly found that his wretched factor had unknowingly spread out because of this Weibo. But fortunately, most people thought he was thanking the female fans for helping him speak, so many sisters praised him for his cuteness under this Weibo.
However, even so, some unknown creatures will still appear under Weibo.
Three hours after the Weibo was posted, he accidentally saw a message. The message was supposed to be a man. The other party meant that Lu Chengyu was deliberately trying to please women. He also said how superficial Chinese women are, they only look at their looks and look at each other. Having money or not is not as virtuous and virtuous as a woman in a certain country, and even uses words such as female cousin to describe women.
Although he is a man, most of the girls around him are very good, and his mother is also a very good person. For those men who look down on women and even curse their mothers, the first thing I am sorry for is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him. This kind of person Success is a failure in the future.
"More than every year: I like to please people since I was a child. I liked my parents when I was a child, I liked my teachers when I was studying, and I liked my boss and colleagues after graduation ╮(╯_╰)╭. But please remember those who curse, think about parenting before you speak. People who have passed themselves, cursing will not make you look tall, it will only make you look ugly. For me, to please is respect and cherish, because only if you respect others, others will respect you. "
This sentence, which is similar to self-mockery and exhortation, has caused many people to forward it, and many compatriots are also on his side.
There was a male Duanzishou who had ridiculed him a day ago, and also reposted this Weibo, and wrote this sentence when reposting: Male god, I also want to please you.
These words, of course, attracted a group of people's well-meaning ridicule, and the status of Lu Chengyu's male god was officially decided.
And some male fans who didn't like him originally saw his past Weibo posts and found that there was no show of wealth, no self-promotion, and no petty bourgeois remarks on Weibo. Instead, they posted some professionally interesting comments. The theory of , and the food in some places, and these places are almost not high-consumption venues, but roadside stalls or small restaurants.
As a result, many male fans also have a good impression of him, and the title of pretending to be a man is gradually not called by many people. Of course, there are a few deliberate exceptions.
He looked under the lively Weibo, smiled and closed Weibo.
He opened the largest public forum in the country and posted what he had prepared before. The good shows in the movie have already been released, and some good shows just need to start.
