That night, Jiang Bei carried a real 40-meter-long knife and held down the gambling king Zhang Jiuliang back to Arcadia Community, and had a family meeting with Li Youqing's family of three.
Conference topic: Is "Mood Inn" a successful movie?
Number of participants in the meeting: Jiang Bei, Li Youqing, Zhang Jiuliang.
The square player (successful): Li Youqing.
Opposition player (failed): Jiangbei.
Players who don’t know the pros and cons: Zhang Jiuliang.
"Are you planning to cheat?" Jiang Bei had a calm face and took the lead in attacking.
"呲流~"
Li Youqing pursed her lips and took a sip of milk. She couldn't help but feel proud on her face, and replied: "How could I be cheating? You see, the box office in the first week was 127 million. With an investment of 8 million, it completely blew up the 50 million blockbusters.
Isn't "The Sword" a successful movie?"
"Don't you know where such high box office comes from? If there is no increase in beef prices and no new airport is built in Embroidery Village, then what kind of 'wishing wind' can blow?" Jiang Bei frowned and retorted.
"But you haven't seen anyone criticizing my acting skills?" Li Youqing replied with an innocent look.
Although the movie "Mood Inn" has a relatively low score in Baihua, because it is set off by its counterpart "The Sword" and the "wishing wind" is blowing, it has absorbed most of the audience's attention to the quality of the movie.
, resulting in relatively mild reviews for this movie. Even most fans just think that the movie’s fusion of themes is too dramatic, and it’s a bit of a trick. On the contrary, the evaluation of the actors’ acting skills in this drama is quite positive.
So this is the reason why Li Youqing refused to admit the failure of the film.
After all, the minds of movie fans have been biased by the evil wind of "Wishing Wind", which has added a lot of metaphysical color to the movie "Mood Inn", and they have suddenly turned "Mood Inn" into "Wishing Inn"
.
In fact, if there were no "Wishing Wind" and various coincidences, the box office of this movie would be around 20 million at most. Let alone beat "The Sword", the final cost is estimated to be
There is no way to earn it back.
Of course there is no if.
Everything is a foregone conclusion.
Jiang Bei turned his head and glanced at Zhang Jiuliang, sighing silently.
He always felt that the gambling king had an unshirkable responsibility for why this matter could not be completed satisfactorily.
Liangliang was sitting in his seat and listening obediently. When he saw his brother staring at her meaningfully, he immediately turned to glare at Li Youqing and said, "Why are you still cheating? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is a bad movie.
film, you can't do it because of some mo
The inexplicable off-site factors force it to be regarded as a successful movie! And if you look at the box office on the eighth day, it has dropped to 8 million. When the popularity subsides in a few days, the daily box office will be hundreds of thousands at most. Is this true?
Still can’t prove its failure?”
Li Youqing was not angry at all when he heard this. He fiddled with the finished Wahaha bottle and said: "After all, the movie only has an investment of 8 million, and we can't ask for more from it. And compared to the 50 million "Ling Jian"
”, I think it is already a very qualified movie.”
"Success was also brought about by my prophet Zhang Jiuliang. What does it have to do with you, a witch? When you should admit defeat, when you should go home and serve your husband, you should serve your husband. Can't you afford it?"
Li Youqing smiled slyly when he heard this, turned to look at Jiangbei and said, "Look, Liangliang said the movie was a success, so I shouldn't be considered a failure, right?"
Liangliang panicked for a moment, realized she had said the wrong thing, and quickly waved her hands to deny: "I didn't say that!"
Jiang Bei said nothing and frowned.
"Otherwise, let's count it as a draw this time." Li Youqing suddenly said.
draw?
Can this thing even be a draw?
"Although the film's rating is low, it is a fact that the box office is high, so we will make a compromise and judge it as a tie, and then we will decide the winner in the next film and television drama, okay?"
This counterattack was something Li Youqing did not expect. It can also be said that God was favoring her. Because of the inexplicable coincidence between the film and reality, and the help of colleagues, she was able to reverse the sluggish situation.
.Otherwise, given the quality of the movie "Mood Inn", it might really be a waste.
So if there is 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 her pink velvet shoes with a guilty look.
‘Youliang’ is thinking about his own things in his head.
After a long time, a rich male voice sounded in the room.
"Okay, let's count it as a draw this time."
After pondering for a long time, Jiangbei decided to agree to the proposal.
The reason is simple.
This "Mood Inn" is not the key to determining the final winner.
It was a temporary purpose to prevent Li Youqing from receiving other high-quality film substitutes.
It can be said that as long as Li Youqing does not win this time and can continue to maintain their previous agreement, then this operation will not be considered a failure.
In fact, there is nothing she can do if she doesn't agree. Li Youqing herself is unwilling to quit the entertainment industry. Unless the movie is a hit at both the word-of-mouth and box office and is unanimously criticized by fans, it will be difficult for her to give up.
Agreeing to a draw can be regarded as a step forward for each other and an opportunity to restart the competition.
Li Youqing also breathed a sigh of relief and winked at him.
Jiang Bei's heart moved. This girl has become more and more unruly recently. She must find an opportunity to fight back.
"Then will you make movies next?"
Since it was a draw this time, he must know whether Li Youqing has plans for a new film or television series.
Li Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, threw the empty bottle into the trash can, shook his head and said, "I don't plan to take on any new movies this year. As for next year, it depends on the situation."
This sentence seems to mean that he wants to stop the shadow.
Jiang Bei and Liang Liang looked at each other, with joy and confusion in their eyes.
What is surprising is that if Li Youqing does not take on new film and television dramas during the period of "The Blue Fortress", then the judging criteria will fall on the movie "The Blue Fortress".
This is undoubtedly the result he most hopes to see.
What's puzzling is that this is Li Youqing's development period, especially after the movie "Mood Inn", there are probably not a few film and television companies that are optimistic about it in the industry, and various resources are constantly available.
Therefore, it stands to reason that she should take on new movies as soon as possible and continue to enhance her reputation. There is no reason to suddenly stop filming movies and TV series.
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 good luck in the movie, she might have fulfilled her promise and quit the entertainment industry today.
In order not to repeat the same mistakes and leave her fate to luck, she decided to stop filming new movies and wait until the movie "Wandering Blue" is released to win the bet with Jiang Bei and then seek development.
Only by being steady and striving to win can you survive for a long time.
But in this way, the young couple pinned their hopes on the science fiction movie that was being produced.
It's just unclear who will have the last laugh.
…
End of November.
The popularity brought by "Wishing Inn" has quickly dissipated. Except for a few netizens on the Internet who will make fun of "Prophet", "Wishing Wind" has gradually been forgotten by netizens.
After all, "Wishing Wind" only exploded in popularity for a period of time due to the coincidence of movie events reflecting reality.
Netizens do not think that making a wish will actually lead to success. They just express their hope for a better future in such a way, which creates such a "wishing wind effect".
The "Wishing Wind Effect" has subsided, and the box office of the "Mood Inn" movie has also entered a sluggish stage. The total box office in twenty days was 172 million, and the total box office in the following two weeks was only 35 million.
Recently, the single-day box office is only a few hundred thousand, and it is expected that there will not be much increase until the movie is released.
The only pity is that the overall situation is set for "Mood Inn", and the box office slump in the later period cannot change it from becoming the final winner.
Because the movie "Ling Jian" is worse than "Mood Inn".
The cumulative box office of "Ling Sword" reached 112 million in the 20 days after its release, and the single-day box office was less than 200,000. Although Baihua's score did not continue to decline, the 5.3 score also made it a joke for the first "fusion style" movie in China.
The situation of "Invincible Youth" is not very good either. The cumulative box office in the 20 days after its release was only 109 million, and the Baihua score dropped to 5.8.
The drop in the ratings of "Invincible Youth" means that among the three movies released at the beginning of winter this year, none of them exceeded 6.0, and they were still completely wiped out.
However, compared to "Ling Jian" and "Invincible Youth", two movies with an investment of more than 50 million, "Mood Inn" is the only movie that has recovered its costs and made a lot of money.
With an investment of 8 million and a box office of over 100 million, it can be said to be a dark horse counterattack.
Sometimes Jiang Bei even thinks that if his colleagues could give a little more effort, it wouldn't be possible for a movie like this that relies on making a wish to become a huge success.
"After all, I still can't help you, Adou." Squatting on the path opposite the Mood Inn, Jiang Bei sighed as he watched the tourists coming in and out of the inn.
The Wishing Wind not only brought a period of popularity and box office to the movie. As the filming locations of the movie, Embroidery Village and Mood Inn have also become tourist attractions for the citizens of Azure City and some foreign tourists.
Nowadays, there are thousands of people visiting Xiuhua Village every day. Even the No. 11 bus has set up a stop sign at the entrance of Xiuhua Village to make it convenient for tourists to come and go.
Not to mention the Mood Inn, where there is an endless stream of customers who come in every day to eat and take pictures with the prophet. The gambling king Zhang Jiuliang makes a lot of money because he owns shares in the inn.
Even Li Youqing couldn't bear it and took Jiangbei's shares by force, and came to Mood Inn every day to help.
During the day, my sister-in-law entertained the tourists who came to eat and took photos with them. At night, she gathered around the table and counted money and divided the spoils in front of him.
Seeing the close and cooperative relationship between Liangliang and his wife, Jiang Bei finally realized that this ally might be leaving him.
Perhaps on this road of preventing my wife from entering the entertainment industry, she is destined to be lonely...
