Chapter 509 Premiere(1/2)
To be honest, when Jing Yu came to this world, he didn't take the Spring Festival seriously.
After all, he is alone in this world, and the Spring Festival is at best a holiday he gave himself forcibly. All his subordinates have gone home, so he has no way to work even if he wants to.
However, the situation was slightly better this year, and Yu Youqing and I still celebrated seriously in the Magic City area.
But after eating in the afternoon, the two of them actually focused on Castle in the Sky, which will be released tomorrow.
Jing Yu participated in this movie, and he also played the villain in it. This can be regarded as one of the few villain roles that Jing Yu has participated in.
"I hope that after it is released tomorrow, your villain will become the most popular character in the entire movie."
Yu Youqing was lying on the bed using her tablet to search for reviews of Jing Yu's drama on film and television forums.
Basically until now, it is difficult to find Hei Jingyu’s posts on film and television forums.
It's not that Jing Yu is a great Zhou coin and everyone loves him, but that there is no room for blackness.
As a cinematographer, screenwriter, and musician, none of the works created by Jing Yu have hit the street, and each one has achieved better results than the last. The only thing that can be criticized by critics is that Jing Yu's appearance is too handsome, which does not complement his acting skills.
Just like Louis Koo in his previous life, he looked too handsome so he went to the awards committee, but the judges said he had no acting skills. After he tanned and looked less handsome, the awards came easily.
But those things, obviously to Jing Yu now, can only be regarded as jokes made by fans after dinner, and few people will take them seriously.
But in fact, Yu Youqing knows very well that once the time is right, for example, a movie like Castle in the Sky with an investment and promotion of more than 300 million, and the box office is not just a hit, but it is not as good as imagined, then these black men will definitely swarm in groups.
The team showed up.
She is actually quite nervous to a certain extent...
But when she saw Jing Yu playing games next to him, she felt helpless.
"In the entire crew of Castle in the Sky, the only one who is still in the mood to play games at this time is you." Yu Youqing sighed.
"How could it be? I don't know how to eat people, and I won't throw the blame away from my subordinates just because I am the chairman. I monitored the whole process of filming this film. I recognized the quality of the film before copying the source and releasing it. The director is great
The degree of performance is limited by me. If the results are not good, I am the first to take the blame. What are they worried about?" Jing Yu said.
"But you have never had bad grades before. If the grades of a certain work are not satisfactory, in fact, there is a high probability that people will not find the reason for you, but the people around you." Yu Youqing said.
"Nowadays, joining the crew of your work may be the fastest way to become famous in the film and television drama industry, but conversely, it may also be the fastest way to lose your reputation."
The relationship with Jing Yu was also established here, Yu Youqing spoke very straightforwardly, and his expression was somewhat cheerful.
"I estimate that the director, the boy who plays Buzz, and the little girl who plays the heroine Hida will not be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner tonight..."
"Why are you gloating about others' misfortune?" Jing Yu glanced at Yu Youqing speechlessly.
"Of course. In the past, Xia Yining and I participated in the most of your works, and we were under the most pressure. What's more, now the outside world expects your work to be at least the top two in the Spring Festival box office.
Once the results are achieved, everyone will be happy, but if the results are not achieved...your haters and fans will definitely start the trolling mode."
Of course, Yu Youqing was not really gloating about his misfortune, he just sympathized with the two young actors who played the male and female roles in Castle in the Sky. If Castle in the Sky did not perform well, Jing Yu would be blackmailed for a few days at most, but with those two young people
Given their qualifications and status in the industry, it is estimated that no crew in the entire Dazhou would dare to use them.
This is actually the only risk in cooperating with Jing Yu in large-scale film and television dramas nowadays, and it is a real double-edged sword.
Regardless of whether there are any problems with Jing Yu's script, you, the actors, will definitely not escape the fate of being hacked.
Jing Yucai didn't bother to care about other people's pressure. If he wanted to become famous, he would definitely have to take the risk.
After being provoked by Yu Youqing into this topic, he also began to research information about tomorrow's competitors.
During this Spring Festival period, there are no real movies with huge investment levels, such as 700, 800, or 100 million movies. It is basically difficult for such movies to make back their money at the box office. They all depend on the sales of peripherals in the later period.
In recent years, Dazhou has not made many movies like that.
During the entire Spring Festival, the movie with the highest investment amount was a war movie called "Battleline", with an investment of 390 million, but it was not a realistic war movie with bitter hatred and bloodshed.
It's a war film similar to Jing Yu's previous life Wolf Warriors that favors personal heroism.
In fact, Jing Yu felt very threatened by this work.
Because there was a hit example of Wolf Warrior 2 in the previous life, Jing Yu became wary when he saw similar works.
There is also a funny movie called "The Fool" with an investment of 260 million. The protagonist goes to the tombs of some well-known celebrities and is unconsciously affected by the memory of the deceased. For example, he unconsciously creates ancient masterpieces.
The second half of the famous work, I went to the calligrapher's tomb and wrote it down. It's really a top book by a famous historical figure.
French calligraphy and painting are sold as fake and old, and are still regarded as authentic masterpieces by future generations. After learning the truth about some bloody conspiracies in history, they make a lot of money, and then embark on a series of funny journeys, which can be called receiving the last words of a dead person.
Device... Judging from the trailer, Jing Yu personally finds it quite interesting.
Comedy, comedy, and war themes can easily become hits. Even if the investment amount is average, once it takes off, it's hard to predict.
Comparatively speaking, Jing Yu really didn't pay too much attention to other love-themed and workplace-themed movies.
It’s difficult to lose money on movies with those themes, but it’s actually even harder to make big profits.
...
One night passed...
The next day.
On the first day after the Spring Festival, the whole week fell into a lively atmosphere.
The streets were covered in silver and blood was flying everywhere, but people were also dressed very festively.
For many industries, the Spring Festival is a great opportunity to make money, and the same is true for movie theaters.
As soon as you enter the cinema, you can basically see promotional posters for movies such as Castle in the Sky, The Fool, Battleline, and Love. At ten o'clock in the morning, the cinema is crowded with people, and the queues are very long.
The situation is similar to that in the past. Today, Jing Yu's fans in the theater are still the most eye-catching group in the theater.
There are so many works by Jing Yu, including the cosplay of Kenshin, the cosplay of Phoenix Garden Fierce, the cosplay of Zuo Wei, the cosplay of Artoria, and even...
There are also Ultraman ones.
That's right, Jing Yu's work has not even been broadcast, but it is based on the character pictures released on the Internet.
Although there is no copyright, no merchant dares to make peripheral products for sale, but they can't stand up to those fans who are very capable!
To be honest, Ultraman's leather case is not a very high-tech item. The fan-made version is indeed a bit ugly...
But in the theater, those ugly leather-clad actors were indeed the most handsome in the theater.
"I've finally waited for this day, it's not easy!"
"Although it is not clear whether Lao Zei's "Castle in the Sky" can still rank first at the box office during the Spring Festival, at least in terms of the personality of the fans of the work, we Lao Zei fans would say second, who dares to say first?"
"But to be honest, the brother who played Artoria in front of me shocked me. I can accept a woman doing role-playing. Why can a man do this too?"
"Didn't you see that his girlfriend was still wearing a shining suit of armor and flirting with Gilgamesh? This is what young couples like!"
"But Artoria isn't a couple with Shirou Emiya? Why is she acting as a couple with Gilgamesh?"
"What else? Don't underestimate the popularity of King Da Mao and Jin Shining. Among the fan base, this pair is very popular."
.....
In the long queue, almost all Sky City fans are familiar with each other. Many people will smile heartily when they see each other's costumes, understanding that they are compatriots, and chatting enthusiastically.
At ten o'clock sharp...
The first movie on the first day of the new year officially started.
In the theater, everyone's restless mood gradually calmed down and they stared at the screen, waiting for the movie "Dai" to start.
In fact, for the work "Castle in the Sky", compared to its original animation in its previous life, I am afraid that for many people, its theme song of the same name is more famous.
In Jingyu's previous life, Huaguo City, it was actually easy for you to find someone who had never seen the movie Castle in the Sky, but it was really difficult for you to find someone who had never heard the music of Castle in the Sky.
Regarding this, Jing Yu could only say yyds about Hisaishi Joe. In his previous life, Japan itself was a region with top-notch film and television soundtracks, and Hisaishi Joe was a great figure among them.
As soon as the movie opened, there was the usual scene of Hida being attacked by air pirates and then falling from the airship. Immediately after this scene, a wave of music bathed the people in the theater.
Of course, Jing Yu also shamelessly filled in his name in the column of composer and lyricist.
But what needs to be said here is that there is actually no such tool as airships in the history of the Great Zhou plane. In Jingyu's previous life, airships were replaced by airplanes because of a certain accident in history that resulted in the death of a lot of people.
People in the theater also sighed when they saw this thing for the first time with a short text explaining its working principle.
"This theme song..."
"Sounds good...."
"The old thief is really awesome."
"In a movie, there's something like an airship coming out?"
“Looking at the introduction, I feel like it really has that flavor, it’s not just some imaginary means of transportation!”
"Large enclosed hot air balloon boat?"
"Xida is also very beautiful! Is this actor newly signed by the old bandit company?"
.......
There was a low-pitched discussion in the theater, but gradually, as the theme song of Castle in the Sky played, and the heroine Xida fell from the sky, the luminous stone on her chest used magical power to drag her body, and finally
Caught by the male protagonist Bas...
The music ends...
To be continued...
