After the heavy snowfall, there were several more heavy snowfalls in Beijing. Didi Taxi took the opportunity to grow and win a lot of market share. Cheng Wei optimistically estimated that it won’t take long for Didi to become the number one taxi driver in Beijing during the Spring Festival.
Ride-hailing platform.
Then it’s time to expand nationwide.
Financing, burning money, expansion, high-end business wars, listing monopoly, being fined, reaching the pinnacle of life in one fell swoop!
…………
December, cold night.
The already very familiar smog has once again invaded the city. Everyone is hotly discussing PM2.5 and air management. Masks have unknowingly become one of the necessities in winter.
In a few years, the word winter can be removed, and masks will become a necessity, even hard currency.
"Didi!"
A black nanny car parked in front of the Jiahe Cinema flagship store in Chaoyang District. When the door opened, a guy covered tightly with a down jacket, a hat on his head, and a mask on his face, who could barely tell that he was a woman, appeared in front of the car.
Several people gathered and entered the cinema.
She entered the lounge and took off her equipment, revealing a silly and beautiful face.
"Bingbing!"
"Brother Zheng!"
Xu Zheng stepped forward to say hello. This person was none other than Fan Xiaopang, who guest-starred in "囧囧". He came specially to attend the premiere road show today.
"Brother Bo!"
"Baoqiang!"
"Sister Tao Hong!"
Fan Xiaopang greeted them one by one. There were only a few actors in "囧囧", but they were all here. Xiao Tao Hong hugged him, as close as a plastic best friend.
Because at this stage, Fan Xiaopang has a very high profile and is famous all over the Internet. She is the public enemy of all female celebrities. No one wants to be on the same stage with her to avoid being "sexed up".
There is a saying that after she retired, there was no one like her in the world. The red carpet of China Entertainment Entertainment was greatly eclipsed, and ordinary girls came one after another. Anyone who said "overwhelming the whole show" would be treated as a joke.
There are also four popular female believers: Yang Zi, Bai Lu, Zhao Lusi, and Yu Shuxin.
Except Fan Xiaopang and Xiao Taohong, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang all have contracts with 99 Entertainment. Xu Zheng and Baoqiang have not broken up yet and are talking and laughing happily.
While chatting, Yu Jiajia came in and everyone stood up to greet her.
"Sit down, why are you being polite to me?"
Yu Jiajia waved her hands, sat down, and sighed: "Eight of our 11 halls have been given to "Thailand". There are 76 movie theaters in the Jiahe Cinema Line (Wanda has 115), giving you 60
With more than % of the films scheduled, it’s hard to justify if the premiere doesn’t exceed 40 million.”
"Thank you Mr. Yu for your cultivation!"
Xu Zheng quickly expressed his stance.
"Hey, you don't need to thank me, it's because the film is good. It's not easy to make a domestic comedy that makes people laugh. How can a comedy be called a comedy if it doesn't make people laugh? Everyone has been tired for a year, so why are you watching "1942" in a miserable way? Feng Xiaogang
What do you think?"
"Uh, hehe!"
Xu Zheng didn't dare to answer.
On November 29th, "1942", which Feng Xiaogang had been preparing for many years, was released, telling the story of the Great Famine in Henan. The film is a matter of opinion, but at the time it was released, the reputation and box office were mediocre.
Huayi, the big hit theaters expected, did not appear.
Audiences don't want to watch a miserable movie during the Lunar New Year, let's put it simply.
"Hey, Bingbing is here too?"
After Yu Jiajia finished complaining, she seemed to have just noticed Fan Xiaopang's figure. Fan Xiaopang moved forward skillfully, with a pink face, and couldn't wait. Yu Jiajia ducked back, and Yao Yuan said that this was an unworthy thing.
Well, forget it if you don’t live up to expectations.
They were going to appear after the film was screened. They didn't know how the audience would react, so they were quite uneasy. Yu Jiajia called over the on-site surveillance cameras. Yes, even though the theater was dark, there were surveillance cameras inside.
Kissing, touching, eating bananas, etc., the staff knew everything about it.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
I couldn't see the exact expression on his face, but the burst of laughter that came out every few minutes infected everyone in the lounge, which invisibly added to their confidence.
Finally, when the scene was coming to an end, Yu Jiajia called a few people out.
Waiting furtively in the passage.
When the credits appeared on the big screen, the lights did not come on. The audience packed up and prepared to leave, but saw several shadows walking onto the stage and lining up.
brush!
As the lights came on, cheers suddenly sounded, followed by waves of applause.
"Wow!"
Huang Bo stirred up the atmosphere, pointed the microphone at the audience, and asked loudly: "Do you like "Thailand"?"
"like!"
"Is "囧" funny?"
"funny!"
"Am I handsome?"
"Hahaha!"
What follows is the normal road show process, with the creators talking about their experiences and hardships, and the audience asking questions.
Xu Zheng is always worried about gains and losses. This one scene does not represent everyone. In the end, it still depends on the box office. He is 40 years old this year. The filming of "囧囧" means a transformation. In the future, he will open a company, be the boss, or even become a capital.
Now that capital has invaded the entertainment industry, smart people are already looking for ways to plan.
Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming were the first two people to come ashore. Zhao Wei later disappeared, which is actually quite interesting. When a star disappears from the entertainment industry for too long, everyone will really forget about it.
Then occasionally I mentioned, Zhao Wei, Fan Xiaopang?
First reaction, who is that?
Then it suddenly dawned on me, oh, it's her, who was so popular before.
…………
at the same time.
In the VIP hall of another movie theater, the small hall that can accommodate 50 people only sat Yao Yuan, Yin Yin, plus Xiao Mo and two waiters.
"Hahaha!"
Yinyin was also amused and enjoyed the movie-watching experience, saying: "It feels like I haven't seen such a pure comedy in a long time."
"What is purity?"
"Comedy is all about laughing. If you can't make the audience laugh, what else is it called comedy? Don't say that the core of comedy is tragedy. That's called the core, not the form.
Stephen Chow's films are made to laugh from beginning to end, and they never deliberately make people cry. Everyone can only appreciate the flavor after savoring them carefully.
Although "囧" is tasteless, it is very pure in terms of making people laugh and does not deliberately sensationalize."
"Wow!"
Yao Yuanqi asked: "Why are you becoming more and more like a film critic?"
"Am I wrong?"
"This is one aspect..."
Yao Yuan thought for a while and said: "It is true that some people show off their sensationalism, which is awkward and blunt. It seems that if they don't add some emotion to the comedy, there will be no connotation.
From a creative perspective, I think it’s because their creativity is low and they can’t write so much baggage that it’s not enough to support a movie, so they have no choice but to make it awkward.”
"Hey, I like what you said."
Yinyin agreed very much and said with a smile: "That's why Ning Hao is very precious."
"Yes, Ning Hao is precious, one of the few directors who can combine comedy and life."
Yao Yuan has always been very fond of Ning Hao, not because he is bragging, but because there are really too few directors like him.
A common problem with later generations of domestic comedies is that they are not funny.
Buy a ticket and go in. It's either Shen Teng or Jia Ling, it's either Qiao Shan or Dapeng. Those faces are going back and forth, which makes the comedy fatigued.
I finished watching "囧".
The two of them left the cinema, and there was a fine snow falling outside.
They stood on the steps at the door and watched the night view for a few seconds. Yao Yuan said: "I may not be able to come back during the New Year. There are many things going on in the United States."
"Then I'll go there on New Year's Day."
"Yeah, that's okay."
"Hey, you won't be attending the New Year's Eve party?"
"There's nothing I can do. I really can't come back. I'll take a video."
Yao Yuan looked at the hazy street lights in the fine snow and sighed with emotion, saying: "In fact, the New Year's Eve party was first prepared for the community, but now it has become a stage for video UP hosts.
