After all, "The Blue Fortress" has gone on to be a hit at both the word-of-mouth and box office as it did in its previous life.
On the first day of its release, the box office of "Blue Fortress" including pre-sales exceeded RMB 80 million, ranking first in the box office of Chinese movies that day.
But with a box office of more than 80 million, it was exposed to almost one-sided negative reviews.
According to official Baihua ratings, the rating of "Blue Fortress" dropped directly to 4.8 24 hours after its release, making it a member of the club of inferior films.
The discussion topic about "Blue Fortress" has detonated the entire Internet, reaching the point where no one knows about it.
‘Bad movie’, ‘selling sheep’s meat’, ‘love in the apocalypse’, ‘embarrassing plot’, ‘five-cent special effects’, etc. have all been labeled as “Blue Fortress”.
Many netizens even translated what Ji Yingzi said in a previous interview, ""Blue Fortress" will be the successor to "The Wandering Blue" to carry the banner of Chinese science fiction movies."
And derived from the famous saying ""Wandering Blue" opened the door to Chinese science fiction movies, and "Blue Fortress" closed the door."
Under the influence of many negative public opinions, the movie "Blue Fortress" was naturally affected, and the box office plummeted.
On the second day after its release, the national market reported a box office of 92 million, and "Blue Fortress" earned a box office of 3.69 million, falling directly from the box office champion to the tenth place.
It was impossible to count the box office of "Blue Fortress" until the third day, because the movie's rating fell below 4.0 on the second day of release. According to the rules of the Blue Star movie, movies with a rating below 4.0 will be forced to be downgraded.
No one expected that a movie with an investment of 500 million would be released in theaters two days after its release.
The total box office of the movie was only 85.7 million.
The box office of more than 80 million yuan is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared to the production cost of 500 million yuan, and the investors are destined to lose money to grandma's family.
Especially cultural and creative entertainment and Suixi are deeply involved.
Originally, the business development of Cultural and Creative Entertainment this year was not very smooth. First, it was suppressed by Erjing Film and Television, and then it was meddling by unknown forces, causing the company to be in a state of loss.
Now, a new movie that cost 300 million yuan to invest has been forced to be withdrawn due to low ratings. The 300 million yuan investment is almost equivalent to being wasted. This is undoubtedly a serious blow to Suixi and cultural and creative entertainment.
Of course, this is what Jiangbei wants to see.
Because only if Cultural and Creative Entertainment falls into bankruptcy crisis, he can complete the next step of his plan without exposing himself.
For example, directly acquiring Cultural and Creative Entertainment can not only solve Chen Muhua's desire to suppress his daughter, but also regain control of Li Youqing's contract in his own hands.
So in fact, Jiangbei also played a role in the process of "Blue Fortress" being downgraded due to low ratings.
Like turning into a hater to set the pace online, professional judges analyze the problems in "Blue Fortress".
They even bribed major media outlets to write articles so that the public could learn about this bad movie as soon as possible.
It is precisely because of this that "Blue Fortress" can be known to the audience so quickly and attract huge public opinion.
Old men are really good at doing bad things.
"Actually, I didn't do anything this time. From the moment Ji Yingzi planned to shoot "The Blue Fortress", the outcome of everything was already doomed."
At the fish pond in July, Jiang Bei brought his wife, sister and father-in-law Li Qiangguo here for fishing and outings. He said this with emotion under the pergola.
His father-in-law, Li Qiangguo, was less than five meters away from him. He was fishing with a fishing rod in his hand, with a complicated expression. He sighed: "No matter what, this is a good opportunity. As long as we can sign Youyou over while Cultural and Creative Entertainment is in bankruptcy crisis.
It’s all over.”
According to Li Qiangguo, the current situation of cultural and creative entertainment is that it is short of money and urgently needs cash flow to save the investment business that has just consumed too much. At this time, if other brokerage companies are willing to pay up to buy artists under cultural and creative, cultural and creative entertainment
It's hard to refuse.
Because cultural and creative entertainment is short of money, it is destined to be unable to spend money on artists. At the same time, money is needed to solve the money shortage crisis, so there is no such thing as whether it can be sold or not.
As long as the price offered is high, the company can be acquired.
"Don't worry, Dad, I've asked Liangliang to contact Cultural and Creative Entertainment." Jiang Bei nodded and replied.
This time he didn't say it with confidence. After experiencing many previous failures, Jiangbei has been able to perfectly implement the four words of being cautious in words and deeds.
The chat under the greenhouse fell into silence again.
Weng and his son-in-law just looked at the fish pond in the suburbs, sitting on chairs and fishing.
The summer wind blew slightly, blowing up the straw hat on his forehead and blowing a few flying pieces of hair.
Perhaps both Weng and son-in-law could vaguely feel in their hearts that maybe this time the plan would eventually succeed.
No one knows whether there will be an accident, but judging from the current situation, the situation is developing in a good direction.
Suixi and her cultural and creative entertainment company did suffer heavy losses, and the business was affected, making Suixi quite financially strapped.
But a movie queen is a movie queen, and she still hasn't forgotten the agreement she made with Jiang Bei. On the contrary, she took the initiative to come to express her hope that Youyou could sign with Erjing Film and Television.
The reason given is simple.
"Currently, the cultural and creative entertainment, film and television business has been hit hard due to "Blue Fortress", so the original plan for the two-way development of film, television and music may have to be temporarily shelved for a while. We will wait until the company's situation stabilizes before considering it. Youyou's main business
After all, it is a film and television drama. If she stays in Cultural and Creative Entertainment, we may not be able to give her good resources, so Mr. Jiang, when do you think you will transfer Youyou’s contract to your company?"
According to Sui Xi, cultural and creative entertainment currently has no financial resources to support two-way development, so it has no choice but to cut off its film and television business and focus on stabilizing the record market.
Since she only sings, it would be inappropriate for Li Youqing to stay in the cultural and creative industry. After all, her main job is to be an actress.
"There's no problem on my side, but if it's convenient for you, you have to explain it to Youyou. You know, I can't come forward." Jiang Bei thought for a while and said.
The reason for cutting off the cultural and creative entertainment business is very good, that is, it can complete Li Youqing's plan to return to Erjing Film and Television without being doubted by her.
As for the previous conflicts, they are really not worth mentioning.
As a famous saying goes: There are no lifelong enemies in the world.
This sentence is especially true when it comes to business.
Even Li Youqing herself knows this, so after the failure of "Blue Fortress" invested by Cultural and Creative Entertainment, she was worried about whether it would affect the normal operation of the company. Then she recently heard rumors within the company that it might be cut off
After the film and television business, I felt even more chilled.
It wasn't until Sui Xi finally found her to recount the incident that Xiao Nizi couldn't help but sigh softly: "I'm going to separate from Sister Sui Xi so soon..."
"I'm sorry, Youyou. This matter is my responsibility. If you want to hold Cultural and Creative Entertainment accountable, we will also compensate you in accordance with the contract." Sui Xi said apologetically.
In fact, when it comes to this matter, the person who has made the greatest contribution is Li Youqing himself.
At the beginning of the year, Sui Xi used the "emotional card" to force Li Youqing, who originally wanted to choose Erjing Film and Television, to sign a contract with Cultural and Creative Entertainment. For this reason, she also offended Erjing Film and Television, a giant in the entertainment industry today.
But only half a year has passed, and Cultural and Creative Entertainment wants to transfer her to Erjing Film and Television.
On the surface, both Cultural and Creative Entertainment and Erjing Film and Television were happy, but it made her, Li Youqing, seem a bit inhumane.
Fortunately, Xiao Nizi was kind-hearted and knew that Sui Xi did this for her own good, so she quickly shook her head and comforted her: "It's okay, Sister Sui Xi, Erjing Film and Television was the contract company I wanted to choose before. Manager Zuo said
I'm pretty good too. Since Cultural and Creative Entertainment wants to cut off its film and television business, Erjing Film and Television is indeed the best place for me to go next."
Having said this, Xiao Nizi finally couldn't help her doubts and asked: "Sister Sui Xi, is the company canceling the film and television business because of financial problems?"
Sui Xi hesitated for a moment, nodded and replied: "That's true. According to the previous plan, the reason why we want to develop two-way film, television and music is because we feel that the company's investment in "Blue Fortress" can successfully help open up the market. But now you can't
As you can see, on the one hand, we have suffered heavy losses, and on the other hand, the company's film and television drama business has also been hindered and cannot continue, so we can only choose to temporarily abandon the film and television business."
"So in fact, as long as the company can produce a successful film and television drama, it's fine, right?" Li Youqing asked again.
Sui Xi didn't know why she asked this, so she thought for a while and said: "A successful film and television drama can indeed help the company's business gain a foothold, but no one knows whether it will succeed. And... to be honest
The company's current financial situation is not very good, and it cannot even invest in a film and television series worth tens of millions."
This statement makes it obvious that all reasons are caused by lack of money.
Hearing this, Li Youqing tilted her little head and thought, turning her two white and clean fingers back and forth, and whispered: "Sister Sui Xi, do you mind if I invest some money and become a small shareholder?"
"ah?"
...
Jiangbei is very happy recently. As the plan is about to come to an end and his wife is about to leave the entertainment industry, he is in an extremely excited state every day.
The things studied are also all kinds of strange.
For example, he searched online for which place in the world would be suitable for a honeymoon for two people. This was his first plan after Li Youqing retired from the entertainment industry.
Another example is paying attention to some knowledge related to pregnant women, and even covering parenting content.
Even the catering plan that has been stalled for more than two years is still being considered. If nothing happens, the well-connected Anseong gambling king will be asked to investigate what people's favorite foods are in today's society.
All in all, the old man is already making plans for his future life.
It is worth mentioning that I learned from Liang Liang that because "Blue Fortress" was scrapped, Chen Muhua was very pleased, and vaguely revealed that he would give Erjing Film and Television a benefit within the scope of the policy, which can be regarded as a thank you.
Erjing Film and Television helped him in this matter.
Not to mention what the benefit is, it is not a big deal to be able to help the elderly man fulfill his wish without offending this top boss in the entertainment industry.
Speaking of which, Jiangbei also believed that it was too late to get married at the age of thirty-three, and some compulsory measures must be taken.
"It's a pity that our Liangliang is a girl, otherwise Suixi would be a good choice." Looking at the gambling king squatting on the ground peeling potatoes, Jiang Bei couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother, I'm not happy with what you said. If I were a man, could you have picked me up from under the overpass?" Liang Liang curled her lips and peeled off half of the potato's flesh with a strong hand.
Why do these words sound so uncomfortable?
"Let's make one thing clear. You were trying to trick me into buying antiques, and then I found out."
"I'm not lying to you. Didn't you say that the bronze bowl has been authenticated?" Liangliang smiled, put the potatoes that were about to be peeled into the basket, picked up one and continued to peel it.
"Actually, you can't blame me. Who would have thought that the bowl in a homeless man's hand would be an antique." Jiangbei couldn't help but smile when he said this, as if he was remembering the scene when he met Liangliang under the overpass.
"That's true, I didn't expect it either." Liangliang whispered.
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
"Beibei!"
At this time, Li Youqing, who had finished his day's activities, ran to the kitchen after returning home, looking very excited, as if he had encountered something happy.
"Did you win the lottery?" Jiang Bei glanced at his wife and asked casually.
"No, hehe." Li Youqing walked to the side and picked up the vegetables in the sink to help wash them. With a smile on his face, he said, "Beibei, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What happened?"
I don't know why, Jiang Bei always feels that something is not going well.
"It's nothing. I just made a little money in the past two years, right? I think our family doesn't need anything at the moment, so I think it's okay to save it, or just invest it." Li
You said while washing the dishes.
"Investment? This is a good thing." Jiang Bei felt relieved and said.
In fact, he doesn't object to investment. After all, the family still has some spare money. Proper investment can make money meaningful and prevent it from slowly depreciating.
"That's good, I thought you wouldn't support it." Li Youqing smiled happily.
"Sister-in-law, you don't want to use my brother's 200 million demolition money to invest, do you? I tell you that is not possible. My brother said that when the property is divided in the future, I will have half of it, but you can't let it happen.
Oops." Liangliang, who was squatting on the ground peeling potatoes, stood up with a basket and said seriously.
Damn Zhang Jiuliang, why does it feel like he is being cursed to death?
"It's okay. If you want to invest those 200 million, you can invest it. It doesn't matter if you fail, just think of it as accumulated experience." Jiang Bei had an encouraging attitude.
Li Youqing shook his head and refused: "You can't touch the demolition money, it's the money you want to use to start a business. By the way, Beibei, when do you plan to start a business? I don't mean to blame you, you are idle at home.
