Chengdu, since the filming of "Wu Shuang" ended, Wan Rongli has been staying in his rental house here without going out.
Come and try it soon.]
He gained a lot from this filming, especially in terms of performance, which was enough to absorb and digest for a while.
Although the remuneration from this filming has greatly alleviated his previous financial difficulties, Wanrongli is no longer the same person who pursued the best in everything materially.
Even in the small rental house I rented before, I was not in a hurry to change it because the rent had not yet expired.
Speaking of which, his biggest feeling during the filming of "Wushuang" was that Xu Ji was different from other directors.
Although he is a director, the other party has extremely rich experience in acting.
There is also the efficient shooting method, which is definitely unique in the entertainment industry.
In addition, there is something special about Tongji Entertainment.
As someone who has entered smallpox, one of the three major universities, he should be an artist who has seen the world.
But there are still some people who don’t quite understand why Tongji Entertainment’s management is so loose.
In addition to the need to listen to director Xu Ji’s requirements when filming and joining the set.
Most of the time, they basically have a high degree of freedom.
Even the agent can be chosen by the artist himself.
Recruitment arranged by the company or independent recruitment from outside is allowed.
When participating in events or any business, artists can choose whether to accept it or not.
Basically, you are responsible for your own career development direction.
Coupled with the fact that there are no liquidated damages, companies outside would never expect that Tongji Entertainment’s artist contract is like this.
After taking notes on all aspects of "Wushuang", Wan Rongli turned on his mobile phone and began to relax.
Ever since he was chased by a bunch of people on the Internet because he lost his temper while drunk, he basically stopped paying attention to hot searches on Weibo and news in the entertainment industry.
His current goal is to become a more pure actor, so naturally there is no need to be exposed to these.
But obviously things are beyond his control.
Not long after contact with the outside world was restored, Wanrongli received greetings from some "old acquaintances".
"Brother Wan, you actually joined Tongji Entertainment?"
"Brother Wan can do it. I didn't expect you to be the leading male lead in Xuji Movies now."
"Rong Li, it's bad, now all the people on Weibo are hating you and boycotting the sequel of the movie "Wushuang"."
......
Wan Rongli automatically ignored those who so-called congratulated him on joining Tongji Entertainment.
He actually doesn't have much friendship with these people.
After something happened to him before, these people didn't even care about him. Now that they are contacting him again, Wanrongli knows very well what he is thinking.
But the last piece of news that worried him made Wan Rongli have to treat it with caution.
At the same time, he had already expected that although Xu Ji boldly used him, when the movie is released, he, a bad actor, is likely to have a big impact on the movie itself.
It was only when Wan Rongli downloaded Weite again that he realized that this matter would be so big.
So many years have passed, so logically speaking there should not be many people who know him.
Even the celebrities who were popular at the time have now become obsolete.
What's more, he is a front-line actor who is not very famous.
And the only person who reminded him this time was also the person I felt most sorry for in Wanrong in all these years.
The other party is also a smallpox sufferer, and she is also a first-line actress.
At that time, the two had a crush on each other, and they were about to break the window and get together.
However, Wanrongli's resources were robbed, and his mentality exploded. Then he started drinking and scandals continued.
In the end, Wan Rongli felt that he had no face to see her again, so he broke off contact with the actress.
After so many years, she is the only one who will eventually worry about herself...
Wanrongli actually doesn’t want to sit like this.
I even thought about posting on Twitter to clarify.
After all, if the box office and reputation of "Wushuang" were affected due to his affairs, he himself would feel very guilty.
But how should he explain it?
After all, those incidents of drunken riots and beatings did indeed happen.
Wan Rongli felt even more guilty when he thought of this.
At this time, Youman called.
......
The news on the Internet that Wan Rongli is starring in Xu Ji's movie is still fermenting.
And at this time, many netizens on the Internet began to boycott "Wushuang" after learning about the original scandal.
But at this time, Wanrongli’s Weibo, which had been dormant for almost six or seven years, was suddenly updated.
This is a somewhat long apology.
In fact, Wanrongli has issued an apology countless times in the past.
But not many people paid attention to it, and the previous apologies seemed too public-relative in nature, making it difficult for people to empathize.
This time is different. Although it is said to be an apology letter, Wan Rongli has written down the entire process and his mentality of why he fell from a promising first-line actor to what he is now.
It has to be said that although Wan Rongli has not acted in recent years, he has watched a lot of various movies and TV dramas, and he has the habit of taking notes and writing his thoughts after watching them.
Wan Rongli’s current writing style is really not bad.
Especially when his own resources were robbed, he became self-defeating.
There are also all kinds of things that ended before the love affair with an actress whose name was not mentioned began, which is even more sincere to write.
Counting the days of painful abstinence, the pain of trying to redeem myself many times but failing.
Many netizens actually know that Wanrongli once beat people while drunk, and also made trouble and acted drunkenly.
But the very detailed process is not clear.
After Wan Rongli's article was published, many people fell in love with him even though they couldn't even talk about it, but many people suddenly felt that they could understand him.
And the most powerful thing about this article in Vang Vieng is the pictures and texts.
Because I already have the habit of recording.
So he has some evidence that can prove what he has experienced over the years.
It also indirectly silenced some people who might question the authenticity of Wan Rongli’s words.
"Well, after all, he is just a poor person. His resources were robbed and targeted in various ways. He then thought that drinking alcohol could solve his sorrows, but unexpectedly he ruined his great future."
"The entertainment industry is actually like this. Wanrongli is already very lucky, and there are more ordinary people who have never been successful."
"I originally thought it was ridiculous that Wan Rongli would send an apology letter at this time, but after reading it, I suddenly realized that maybe this apology letter was not written to us, but to himself and his former friends.
, his deceased mother..."
"The best way to clear one's name now is to write essays, but I have to say that Wan Rongli's essay writing skills are the best among the celebrities I have seen so far. Personally, I have succeeded in clearing my name.
”
......
Less than two hours after Wan Rongli’s article was published, the direction of public opinion completely changed.
This is indeed a difficult thing for many people to understand.
Is it really just a small essay that solved this public opinion crisis?
Some are too outrageous.
Even Wan Rongli himself didn’t dare to believe it.
Youman called him before and asked him to post an apology on Weibo.
And it is required to write clearly what happened at the beginning, without hiding it.
The most important thing is that it must be sincere.
Wan Rongli did as he was told, and then achieved results that no one expected at all.
Of course, Youman was not very surprised.
It can even be said that everything was as she expected.
You must know that when Wan Rongli planned to join Tongji Entertainment, he not only came to Chengdu several times in person.
The most important thing is the content of the email written by the other party, which really moved Youman.
Otherwise, Youman wouldn't be able to tell Xu Ji about Wanrongli, and he would directly refuse.
......
"Is this resolved?"
Phoenix Entertainment, Li Borui looked in disbelief.
Li Bokai also frowned.
This opportunity suddenly appeared, so Phoenix Entertainment hired a special navy to lead the rhythm.
I thought the victory was already decided.
But I didn't expect that things would change so quickly.
Tongji Entertainment actually solved the public opinion crisis with just a simple apology article?
This is not common sense!
Forget it, I just wanted to take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Although it is a bit regretful that it failed now, it does not affect the overall situation.
"By the way, how's it going at Station G?"
Li Bokai asked.
Upon hearing his elder brother's question, Li Borui took the initiative to answer:
"I don't know yet. It seems that Chi Jiang replied that they are still negotiating."
After hearing this, Li Bokai couldn't help but cursed:
"Negotiation is nothing!"
"Chi Jiang and those old foxes at Station G!"
"Obviously I don't want to agree, I'm just stalling for time!"
"Contact those producers and stop the dramas they are planning to buy the rights to."
"To be honest, I really thought we were joking with them!"
......
At the same time, the article in Wanrongli became more and more popular on Weibo.
On the contrary, smallpox fell into the condemnation of netizens.
Although Wanrongli did not mention specific companies and artists.
But everyone knows that Wanrongli was a victim of smallpox before.
That is to say, the resources that Wanrongli experienced were robbed, and there were also a lot of things that people deliberately targeted, all of which happened at Smallpox Entertainment.
Although there are still some people who don’t feel that Wangrongli should be forgiven at all.
But if everyone agrees, Smallpox Entertainment must also give a reasonable explanation.
In particular, who are the artists who are grabbing resources and the high-level officials who are targeting them has become a matter of concern to many netizens.
"Explanation?"
"What do we have to explain to them?"
"How ridiculous!"
At Smallpox Entertainment, a certain senior executive was obviously not very calm at this time.
In fact, the reason why Wanrongli is what it is now has a lot to do with him.
After all, there are many factions in Smallpox Entertainment, and no one wants to have an uncontrollable artist under their control.
Either find an opportunity to eliminate such people, or leave them to others as favors.
Obviously Wanrongli is the kind of disobedient artist.
Moreover, the emotional intelligence is still very low, let alone giving gifts and so on, even ordinary greetings seem very perfunctory.
It is normal for someone with such a personality to be targeted by senior management.
Even though Wan Rongli had just won an award and his future was bright, some crews even approached him to be the male lead.
He is likely to be a movie star in the future, but being uncontrollable is the most unacceptable thing in a big company.
"This Xuji is really annoying!"
"Didn't the superiors ask us to help Phoenix Entertainment step in when we have the chance?"
"Maybe now is your chance!"
......
""The Record of Demons of the Song Dynasty" is scheduled to be released on July 6th, and the summer box office king is here!"
"Officially announced, "Song of the Song Dynasty" starring actor Lan Xueming, actress Gao Yijia and others has finally been released."
"After the official announcement of the release date of "Wushuang", "The Record of Demons of the Song Dynasty" was released on the same day. Is it because Xu Ji was deliberately targeted?"
......
While we were still discussing various unspoken rules about smallpox, suddenly a piece of heavy news was announced, which caught everyone by surprise.
That is, "The Legend of the Demons of the Song Dynasty" with an investment of 320 million from Tianhua Entertainment and a luxurious lineup has suddenly been scheduled.
When this large-scale production, titled as an ancient fantasy drama, was initially proposed, it attracted a lot of attention.
Due to various unknown reasons, the schedule was changed several times.
After more than a year, it was finally finalized.
But the scheduled release time is actually the same day as "Wushuang", which has to arouse some associations.
After all, although July 6th is the earliest time period of the summer vacation, this day is actually not that special.
But the other party still deliberately chose this day to show it.
It can only be said that the person who came here is not kind.
In fact, the investment in "Wu Shuang" is not low. Xu Ji adheres to high-quality requirements throughout the filming process, and the money spent on all aspects is generous.
The announced basic investment for the entire film has reached about 170 million.
Including various publicity expenses in the later period, it is almost 200 million.
Of course, the most critical thing is that Wei Yifa’s salary was discounted.
Moreover, the salaries of some other actors are not high, including Wan Rongli, who plays the protagonist Li Wen.
And there is still some moisture in it. For example, as a director and screenwriter, Xu Ji will definitely need considerable expenses.
But Xu Ji is the boss of the company, so the money comes from his own pocket.
After careful calculation, the actual investment in the film was approximately 150 million.
Of course, for "The Record of Demons of the Song Dynasty", which claims to have an investment of 320 million, there is definitely some moisture in it.
After all, the investor of this drama is Smallpox, and many of the important positions of the director and actors are also owned by Smallpox.
It is very common to increase investment costs for publicity purposes.
But even if there is water, judging from the released trailer, a lot of money was spent on special effects.
It is estimated that no matter how low the cost is, it will definitely be upwards of 250 million.
Originally, there weren’t many opponents that people could take seriously in the summer season.
But at this time, the sudden release of "The Record of Demons of the Song Dynasty" posed a real threat to Xu Ji's "Wushuang".
