Those Years I Employed Non-Humans as Actors

Chapter 34: old man

Views:

On the sixth day of its release, "Falling House" had a box office of over 100 million that day. At the same time, "The House of Depravity" received overwhelming publicity.

Unlike "Fall House", which was released quietly and promoted in a hurry, "Shou Lu" was promoted before filming started.

From the director to the casting to the filming behind-the-scenes, every update can be found in several hot searches. Many fans have been paying attention to this movie for a long time, and the theaters have not invested much in publicity.

It costs 500 million, a well-known director, a powerful star, full real-life shooting, grand scenes, and an epic level movie. It is the first domestically produced 3D ghost and god movie, and several high-ranking words are posted in "Shou‌" The promotional poster for "Record" made this movie a hit even before it was aired. For a moment, it seemed that all those who love watching movies were surrounded by the promotion of this movie.

In fact, according to the wishes of the director and production team, it is best for this movie to be released during the Spring Festival. Because for them, this publicity period is obviously a lot of haste and not overwhelming enough. However, the investors of "Shou Lu" didn't know what was going on and insisted on releasing it on the eleventh schedule, determined to compete with "Fall House".

To be honest, the film "Fall House" and the production team of "The Record" are still a little bit difficult to bring to the stage.

A layman can see the fun, an expert can see the door. The insider can see that "Fall House" looks very poor at first glance. The setting is just a villa, and the actors are also famous. It can be seen that a little bit of care has been put into it. There are costumes, but they are not worth much. The maximum investment is only 10 million.

On the other hand, the director's shooting techniques are quite interesting, and it's obvious that he is a good talent. Give him time to grow and learn, and he can become an excellent director in the future.

So what if "Fall House" has a high box office now? The box office for six days of release was only 250 million, which was less than half of the investment in "Shou Lu". "Shou ‌ Record" is aiming for 3 billion at the box office. Really, when comparing these two movies together, "Shou ‌ Record" feels like it has lowered itself. grade.

"'Shou'lu' will be released soon. Our film schedule will definitely be greatly reduced, and the box office will drop off a cliff, woohoo." Qian Duoqun said distressedly, clutching his chest.

Luo Huai asked: "Then what will happen to our box office?"

Qian Duoqun opened a certain box office prediction app and said: "According to the prediction above, our box office will reach a peak on the National Day, with a maximum of more than 100 million, and then it will slowly fall back. If "Shou ‌" If the box office of "Record" exceeds 400 million on the first day, our film schedule will definitely be reduced to 10-20%. By then, it will be 30 to 40 million a day, such a small amount of money!"

Luo Huai: "But Director Zhong said we have invested millions. Even if it decreases, we are still making money every day."

Qian Duoqun was barely comforted by Luo Huai's words. He nodded and said, "Yes, we will make a lot of money if the final target is 800 million, and there will be websites that will buy our copyright. There are already several websites. Contact me, I’m thinking about multi-platform play or single platform/play.”

Walking out of the cinema, Shen Leshan heard the conversation between Qian Luo and Qian Luo, and quietly came to Zhong Jiudao and said in a loud voice: "Director Zhong, this won't work. We have to find a way."

"Why can't I go down? Where can I not go down?" Zhong Jiudao looked at this evil ghost full of bad ideas in puzzlement.

Shen Leshan: "If our movies are so good, how can they be squeezed out so quickly. In this way, we 34 ghosts have to work harder. We have to run around in major theaters, and the audience is scared to death. Jiang Fen Can't it be moved between different mobile phones? Let him open the music software and play scary songs when the audience is watching the movie, scare them to death, and ruin the reputation of "Shou‌", so that we can continue to make money."

Zhong Jiudao: "Do you know how many theaters there are in the country? There are only 34 of you. Even if you break your legs, it will be less than one thousandth of the audience. It will have no impact on the entire movie monument. ”

"Then we can slash the salary!" Shen Leshan said, "Let's go find the person who has the final say in this movie, scare him, make him have nightmares, possess him, and force him to withdraw the film!"

"You know how to use the word withdrawal?" Zhong Jiudao said.

Shen Leshan smiled wisely: "I have stopped learning. I have come to a new society, so I naturally have to learn more. I am different from those ghosts who are illiterate and do not want to make progress. I am very pursuing. Recently. "I want to learn some of the reasons for this social change. I heard from Jiang Fen what scientific materialism is? Can Director Zhong pay me some money in advance? I want to buy some books."

Zhong Jiu said: "..."

Shen Leshan wanted to read books on scientific materialism, but he was not afraid to read them and be saved himself!

No wonder this generation can no longer find any decent and capable ghosts. Look at the employees of their company. They are the most chaotic people. They are the products of tragedy and are refined by heavenly masters. Thousands of people were killed. After these sinful evil spirits came to the new generation, they were busy taking the initiative to resolve their grievances and save themselves. In this generation, what use is it to have a heavenly master!

Zhong Jiudao deeply felt that it was time for a reform in the Tianshi world.

"Director Zhong, what do you think? If you agree, I will go to the investor's home and ask him to withdraw the document." Shen Leshan rubbed his gloves and asked expectantly.

Zhong Jiu said: "...you went to his house. In the end, I can't tell whether he withdrew or you lost your mind."

The largest investor in "Shou Lu" is the Zhong family. Even if the Tianshi world is not as good as the previous generation, the Zhong family is a family with a history of more than a thousand years. If Shen Leshan dares to go to the Zhong family to cause trouble, he will probably even be in front of the door. Even the peach trees cannot survive.

The matter has come to an end, and we can take one step at a time.

After watching the movie that night, Qian Duoqun and Pang Xinhao simply checked into the Luohuai hotel and booked a room to rest. As usual, Zhong Jiudao brought the entire company to live with Luohuai.

Back at the hotel, Ji Pan went to Zhong Jiudao's room with his assistant with a pale face, and said very reluctantly: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you gave Qi Wanlian, but since she insists on staying with you ‌Company, I can’t persuade her.

"You can't just let her take on every job like this. Now that "Fall House" is famous, all kinds of cooperation will come to you. These companies are mixed, your company entered the industry late, and you are not interested in things in the industry. If you don’t understand, it’s easy to fall into traps.

"I will ask my assistant to send you a list tomorrow. What kind of cooperation can be accepted? What kind of cooperation can be directly rejected? What kind of cooperation is not easy to mess with? I will tell you the rejection skills one by one, treat her well. "

Ji Pan almost burst into tears at the end of his speech, feeling as sad as handing over his own child to Zhong Jiudao.

Zhong Jiudao saw that she was so frightened in the ghost den just now that her Yanghuo was almost extinguished. He couldn't help but pour a bowl of soup from the thermos pot on the table and handed it to Ji Pan: "You are so kind to me, too." Thanks, let’s have a bowl of soup.”

"I have to stay in shape at night, so I can't eat..." Ji Pan declined politely. The soup didn't look very tasty.

Luo Huai quickly advised: "Panpan, you'd better drink it. This soup is secretly made by Director Zhong. I heard from our former female cast member that if you drink a bowl every day, you won't feel any pain at all. Well, they all rushed to drink it. Director Zhong saw that I was tired from filming, so he made a pot of it every day to replenish my body. "

"Really?" It was hard to resist the warm welcome, and Ji Pan drank the soup with some hesitation, and then went back to his room to rest.

On the second day, "The Record" was released nationwide, with a box office of 100 million in pre-sales alone. Fans of directors, actors, and fans flocked to the theaters for the first time. "Falling House" The box office during the day was very poor, and the box office during the whole day was only 30 million.

But in the evening, the situation suddenly changed. The box office growth of "The Record" became slower and slower, while the box office data of "Falling House" showed a linear growth.

All changes stem from the angry comments on the Internet.

"Shou ‌ Record" lasted two and a half minutes. I fell asleep after watching the beginning, and saw an old man drawing talisman at the beginning. I woke up at the end, and it was the same old man drawing talisman. I missed it. What a wonderful thing. Is the plot over

‌Sleep‌Tell you, ‌Yes.

I shouldn't watch this director's movies. All his movies are in long shots, slow motion, without talking. The two leading actors look at each other quietly, and are paired with beautiful music and unknown voices. The so-called ‌ ending, no matter what the ‌ theme of the ‌ movie, you will feel lonely until the end!

It's not that it has any advantages. The scenery is very beautiful and the effects are also very good. It can be called the best effect among domestic films. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it.

What about the story? Who can tell me what the entire film is about? It starts with an old man reciting a poem. It is not a poem that we are familiar with. It is said to be a secret that is not passed down by the Celestial Master family. The general outline starts with the Celestial Master's five thousand years in the middle. The ending calls for the inheritance of ancient culture. I am Do you want to join the Maoshan sect? Let me see this!

It sounds like a documentary with beautiful images and well-made production.

Even if you say it is a documentary, you can watch it. Have you ever seen any documentary that is divided into sections? This movie often gives me the feeling that I missed watching it for more than ten minutes, but I didn’t miss watching it at all! What the hell is going on? How could the screenwriter come up with something so incoherent

The screenwriter may not know what the other screenwriters are like. I checked online and found that there are more than ten screenwriters for this movie.

Didn’t it mean that there were several movie kings and movie queens starring in it? Isn't it okay even if they are in town

If you are talking about those famous actors who were bloody, broken, with their intestines hanging from their heads, and were slapped to death by the old man at the beginning, then I'm sorry, but it really won't have any effect.

I originally thought it was a special effects film. From your description, I thought it was a documentary. But now it seems like it is a thriller

If it's a thriller that makes people sick to watch, then it is. It is indeed a thriller.

"Fall House" is also a thriller, but there are very few disgusting scenes! Even the scene of Sister Qi licking ketchup is shuddering with a hint of coquettishness. The most terrifying thing is that there is a bead in the bowl. The rest is based on sound effects and the acting skills of the actors. There are so many Intestines running all over the floor and bloody scenes!

"Fall House" is a rated movie and requires real-name authentication. Children under 16 are not allowed to enter at all. Those aged 16-18 need to be accompanied by an adult. The viewing experience is very good. Even in the most terrifying places, the audience can't bear it. cry. "The Watch" was so gory that it was not rated yet. When I watched the movie, more than a dozen children in the audience burst into tears. The viewing experience was terrible.

Judging from your description, luckily I fell asleep and the old man was still very handsome.

You guys have been talking about the old man, the old man, who plays the role of the old man? Is he the protagonist of a movie

The old man is indeed the protagonist, and he looks like a fairy. ‌I checked the cast list and found out that he was not an actor. I just named Mr. Zhong and I didn’t know where the actor was hired.

In order to know himself and the enemy, and to learn the shooting techniques of other directors, Zhong Jiudao also bought a ticket to watch this movie. Director Zhong was shocked at the beginning of the movie because the protagonist of this movie is his famous actor. My father.

Zhong Jiu said: "..."

The head of the Zhong family not only personally invested and supervised the formation, but also starred in the movie. In order to combat him and let him go home, and also to let the world understand the mysterious Tianshi world, his father had really good intentions.

It's a pity that things did not develop according to the plan of the master of the Zhong family.

"Shou" recorded a box office of 200 million before 18:00 on the first day. The production team has already begun preparations to celebrate. It is supposed to be the night with the highest traffic of the day. During the period from 18:00 to 24:00, ‌ It has a box office of 50 million.

During the day, "Fall House" only had a box office of 30 million, but after 18 o'clock, it actually received a box office of 100 million!

On the second day of the 11th slot, the theater schedule was slightly adjusted. The schedule of "Falling House" was appropriately reduced, and the number of screenings was increased for a cartoon that performed well in the 11th slot.

However, despite the fact that the film schedule has been reduced, the box office of "Fall House" exceeded 200 million the next day, which did not decrease but increased, and "The Record" exceeded 100 million.

On the third day, the day Luo Huai finally finished filming, the box office of "Falling House" was 230 million and "The Record" was 40 million.

On the fourth day of theaters, the number of shows has been scheduled, and the number of shows for "The Record" has plummeted by half. This is a signal that theaters are ready to give up on this movie.

Various box office prediction websites have also updated their data. "The Record" is expected to have a box office of 800 million and "Fall House" is expected to have a box office of 3 billion.

Luo Huai happily packed his luggage and prepared to start his itinerary tomorrow. Zhong Jiudao received a call from his cousin Zhong Hongyan.

"First of all, I congratulate you on the success of your movie," Zhong Hongyan said. "I want to tell you another news. The head of the family just vomited blood and fainted. If you have time recently, you'd better go home and visit your old father."
