Chapter 98 Draw (2/2)

Running can't be run.

That night, Jiangbei carried a real forty-meter-long knife to press the gambling king Zhang Jiuliang back to the Arcadia community, and had a family meeting with Li Youqing and his family of three.

Conference theme: Is "Mood Inn" a successful movie?

Number of participants in the meeting: Jiangbei, Li Youqing, and Zhang Jiuliang.

Pro-Female Player (Success): Li Youqing.

Opponent player (failed): Jiangbei.

A contestant who doesn’t know the pros and cons: Zhang Jiuliang.

"Are you planning to cheat?" Jiang Bei calmly faced and took the lead in attacking.

"Sigh~"

Li Youqing sucked her lips and sipped her breasts, her face couldn't help but feel proud, and replied: "How could I be fooled? You see, the box office in the first week was 127 million yuan, and the 50 million yuan blockbuster "Ling Jian" was not considered a successful movie?"

"Where is this high box office? Don't you know where the price of beef has come from? If there was no beef price increase and no new airport was established in the embroidery village, then what 'wish wind' could blow?" Jiang Bei frowned and retorted.

"But you haven't seen anyone criticizing my acting skills?" Li Youqing replied with an innocent look on his face.

Although the movie "Mood Inn" is relatively low in Baihua's rating, it is a contrast between the movie "Ling Jian" and the "Wishing Wind" that sucks away most viewers' attention to the quality of the movie, resulting in a relatively gentle evaluation of the movie. Even most movie fans just think that the theme of the movie is too out of the play, and it is a bit like selling dog meat with a sheep's head. On the contrary, the actors' acting skills of this drama are quite recognized.

So this is why Li Youqing refused to admit the failure of the film.

After all, the thoughts of movie fans are deviated by the demonic wind of "Wishing Wind", which adds a lot of metaphysical color to the movie "Mood Inn", and they turned "Mood Inn" into "Wish Inn".

In fact, if there is no "wishing wind" and various coincidences, the box office of this movie will be at most about 20 million. Not to mention winning the movie "Ling Jian", I guess I can't even make the final cost back.

Of course there is no if.

Everything is a foregone conclusion.

Jiang Bei turned his head and looked at Zhang Jiuliang, and sighed silently.

He always feels that the reason why this matter failed to be successfully completed has an unshirkable responsibility.

Liang Liang was sitting in a seat and listening. Seeing his brother staring at him meaningfully, he immediately turned his head and stared at Li Youqing and fired: "Why are you still cheating? A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is a bad movie. You can't force it to treat it as a successful movie because of some inexplicable off-site factors! And you see, the box office on the eighth day has dropped to 8 million. After a few days, the box office will be as high as hundreds of thousands per day. Can't this prove its failure?"

Li Youqing was not angry at all when she heard this. She fiddled with the Wahaha bottle she had already drunk and said, "After all, the movie only has an investment of 8 million, and we cannot have more requirements for it. And compared with "Ling Jian" which is 50 million, I think it is already a very qualified movie."

"Success is also brought by my prophet Zhang Jiuliang. What does it have to do with you, a witch? If you should give up, you should give up. If you should go home and serve your husband, do you not afford to play?"

Li Youqing smiled sly when she heard this, turned her head to look at Jiang Bei and said, "Look, Liangliang says that the movie has been successful, so I shouldn't be considered a failure, right?"

Liang Liang panicked in an instant, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly waved his hand to deny it: "I haven't said it!"

Jiang Bei didn't say anything and frowned.

"Or it would be considered a draw this time." Li Youqing suddenly said.

draw?

Can this thing still draw?

"Although the movie score is low, the box office is high, so we will decide to be a draw after a compromise, and then the following film and television series will be the winner, right?"

This counterattack was something Li Youqing did not expect, and it could also be said that God was favoring her, because of the unexpected coincidences between the film and reality, and his colleagues also raised their hands very hard to reverse the sluggish situation. Otherwise, with the quality of the movie "Mood Inn", it might be really bad.

So if she can get a draw, it will undoubtedly be the best result for her.

The living room was quiet.

Li Youqing seemed to be playing with the empty bottle calmly.

Liang Liang looked down at the pink fluffy shoes with a guilty look.

"Youliang" was thinking about their own affairs in his head.

After a long time, a thick male voice sounded in the room.

"Okay, this time it's a draw."

After pondering for a long time, Jiangbei still chose to agree to this proposal.

The reason is very simple.

This "Mood Inn" is not the key to the final winner.

It was a temporary intention to prevent Li Youqing from receiving other high-quality movies.

It can be said that as long as Li Youqing did not win this time and could continue to maintain their previous agreement, this action would not be a failure.

In fact, there is no way to disagree. Li Youqing herself is unwilling to withdraw from the entertainment industry. Unless the movie has a bad reputation and box office, it is difficult for her to give up unless the movie is unanimously criticized by movie fans.

Promise to a draw is also a step for each other and a chance to start the competition again.

Li Youqing also breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a charming look.

Jiang Bei's heart moved. This girl has become more and more presumptuous recently and has to find an opportunity to fight back.

"Then will you make movies next?"

Since this time it was a draw, he must know whether Li Youqing would have plans for a new film and television drama.

Li Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, threw the empty bottle into the trash can, shook her head and said, "I don't plan to take on new movies this year. As for next year, it depends on the situation."

This sentence seems to mean a little bit of a desire to quit the movie.

Jiangbei and Liangliang looked at each other, with joy and confusion in their eyes.

The surprise is that if Li Youqing does not take on new films and TV series during the next period of "Blue Fortress", the judgment criteria will fall on the movie "Blue Fortress".

This is undoubtedly the result he most hopes to see.

What is puzzled is that this stage is Li Youqing's development period, especially after the movie "Mood Inn", the popular film and television companies in the circle are probably not limited, and there are various resources.

So logically speaking, she should take on new films as soon as possible and continue to improve her fame. There is no reason why she suddenly stops taking on film and television dramas.

In fact, Li Youqing had no choice but to do this. After escaping from death this time, she realized that if it weren't for the luck of the movie, she might have fulfilled her promise to quit the entertainment industry today.

In order not to repeat the same mistakes and not to leave fate to luck, she decided to suspend filming new movies and wait until the movie "The Wandering Blue" was released, and then she won the bet with Jiangbei and then seek development.

Only by being steady and seeking victory can you last for a long time.

But in this way, the couple placed their hopes on the science fiction movie being produced.

But it’s unknown who will laugh to the end.

...

At the end of November.

The popularity brought by "Wishing Inn" has quickly dissipated. In addition to the few netizens on the Internet who would make jokes about "Prophet" with a few jokes, "Wishing Wind" has gradually been forgotten by netizens.

After all, the "Wishing Wind" just exploded with the coincidence of the movie events that reflected reality.

Netizens do not think that making a wish can succeed by making a real wish. It is just that they express their entrustedness to the future beauty in this way, which will form such a "wishing wind effect".

The "Wishing Wind Effect" has faded, and the box office of the movie "Mood Inn" has also entered a sluggish stage, with a total box office of 172 million in 20 days, and the next two weeks have only won 35 million in total.

Recently, the box office in a single day has only been hundreds of thousands, and it is expected that there will not be much increase until the movie is finished.

The only pity that the overall situation has been determined. The box office in Mood Inn is sluggish in the later period cannot change it and become the final winner.

Because the movie "Ling Jian" is worse than "Mood Inn".

"Ling Jian" has accumulated a cumulative box office of 112 million in 20 days of its release, with a single-day box office of less than 200,000. Although Baihua's rating has not continued to decline, the 5.3 rating also makes it a joke for the first "fusion style" film in China.

"Youth Invincible" is not very good. Its cumulative box office was only 109 million in 20 days of release, and the Baihua score dropped to 5.8.

The decline in the rating of "Youth Invincible" means that none of the three movies released this year's beginning of winter have exceeded 6.0 and are still wiped out.

However, compared with "Ling Jian" and "Youth Invincible" two movies whose investments are more than 50 million yuan, "Mood Inn" is the only movie that reaps costs and makes a lot of money.

An investment of 8 million yuan and a box office of over 100 million yuan can be regarded as a counterattack by a dark horse.

Sometimes Jiang Bei even thought that if his peers could give him some effort, it would not have been a complete victory for such a movie that relies on making a wish to gain popularity.

"A Dou, after all, can't help." Squatting on the path opposite the Mood Inn, Jiangbei looked at the inn where tourists entered and exited, sighing.

The wishing style not only brought the movie a while of popularity and box office. As the filming location of the movie, the Embroidery Village and the Mood Inn have also become tourist attractions for citizens of the Blue City and some foreign tourists.

Nowadays, the flow of people in Xiuhua Village is several thousand every day. Even Bus No. 11 has set up stop signs at the entrance of Xiuhua Village to facilitate tourists to travel.

Not to mention the Mood Inn, there are endless guests going in to eat and take photos with the Prophet's House every day. The gambling king Zhang Jiuliang made a lot of money because he has inn shares.

Even Li Youqing couldn't help but forcefully took away Jiangbei's shares and came to the Mood Inn every day to help.

During the day, my sister-in-law and sister-in-law welcomed tourists who came to have dinner and took photos with guests. At night, she gathered around the table to count the money and shared the spoils in front of him.

Looking at Liangliang and his wife's close cooperation, Jiang Bei finally realized that this friendly army might be leaving him.
Chapter completed!
