The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 71 New Year's Eve: Happy New Year
Saturday, February 2.

New Year's Eve, December 29th, morning.

Fang Mo was awakened by a sudden coldness. In the haze, the charming images from last night's dream vaguely emerged, and the horse ran away.

Speechless, there is no way to stay in bed, get up, wash and change pants, go out for a walk and eat.

……

"Fuck, what rubbish."

"Is this shooting bullshit? A good Chinese mythology was changed into a Western fantasy, fuck..."

"Don't read Legend of the Gods, it's rubbish..."

"Except for the acting skills of a few big names, which are still watchable, the rest are all crotch-shaped, the special effects are distorted, the architectural background is Western and European, and the plot is even more unwatchable."

"What the hell, Lei Zhenzi has become the protagonist throughout the whole drama, isn't he Nezha Yang Jian..."

"Gan, you are trying to sell someone like a sheep. The roles that were heavily promoted before were a few big-name characters, but in the end they were all supporting roles. Who is this Lei Zhenzi? I don't know the actor. Is there any character like Yang Jian that is more popular with the audience?"

"Liar, give me your money back, this is rubbish."

"Just this scrap, fighting for the Spring Festival stalls?"

At lunch time, the first batch of screenings of Legend of the Gods gradually ended. However, the higher the expectations, the higher the disappointment. No matter how good the screening reputation is, it is still one-sided, not to mention that the media critics and screening audiences are all within control.

The true quality and reputation of a film will only emerge after it is truly released nationwide.

While Fang Mo was having lunch, he was reading some short film reviews of the movies released today, focusing especially on the most popular Legend of the Gods. After all, the lineup was strong.

The most promising person to win the box office title during the Spring Festival, the one who aims to exceed 10 billion in box office, ends up with crotch loss?

There are not many complaints about acting skills, but basically everything except acting skills has caused complaints.

There are loopholes and bugs in the plot.

The protagonist of the propaganda is Lei Zhenzi, the Chinese mythology has been changed to a Western European architectural background, the special effects are distorted, the costumes and props are ridiculous, etc.

"Feng Shen, there is a high probability that he will pounce..."

Fang Mo smacked his mouth. After all, the movie had just been released nationwide and it was only the first batch of viewings. He couldn't make a final decision yet, but the signs were already a little bad.

If the word-of-mouth is not stable, let alone the target box office exceeding 10 billion, even whether the Spring Festival championship can be won this time has to be said separately. At least the other two popular movies released today will have good reviews after the first batch. He was criticized and complained about like a god.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. The main reason is that the protagonist is Lei Zhenzi, and the release does not match the publicity. Many people rushed to see Nezha and Yang Jian, but it turns out that they are just supporting roles, plus a Western adaptation?

So just like that, the reputation collapsed.

……

"The box office of Fengshen is really not good..."

"The first day's box office is at least 7 million..."

"The quality is so poor, but the box office is unparalleled. A strong lineup means it has appeal."

"Why don't these people support idols without reading movie reviews? They still support rubbish movies. How stupid..."

"Ahem, the acting skills in Fengshen are passable, and Lei Zhenzi is also considered qualified. It's just that the plot and background special effects are so damn hard to watch."

"Leave a post! I dare to assert that Fengshen will definitely not be able to break 10 billion at the box office this time, absolutely."

"If it can't break 10 million on the first day, don't even think about reaching [-] billion in the end. The quality is too bad."

"Damn, I regret buying tickets in advance."

"Nah, me too, tickets for tomorrow..."

In the afternoon, the three popular movies continued to hit theaters. Although the reputation of the Legend of the Gods is a little bit broken, the leading actors and supporting actors are all big stars. There are too many fans. The box office trend will be absolutely strong for a while, at least today and tomorrow , the box office champion of the day.

The industry is paying attention, the Internet crowd is paying attention, and Fang Mo is also paying attention, waiting to see what happens.

It doesn’t matter whether the Spring Festival movie is profitable or not, as long as there is no super dark horse, and the 10 billion box office record is not taken away, the rest is casual.

"Brother Fang, Happy New Year..."

"Boss, good luck in the Year of the Snake..."

"Director Fang, new year, new atmosphere..."

Starting from the second half of the afternoon, Fang Mo received some blessing text messages or WeChat messages one after another, as well as in the chat group, but there was no red envelope function, just blessings.I don’t know if the red envelope function will be developed next time during the Chinese New Year, but Fang Mo doesn’t care or worry about it.

When is it available, when is it used.

In fact, even if there is a red envelope function now, Fang Mo can still send out red envelopes to grab them. Although the Crazy Stone box office and online broadcast revenue have not been settled, the three songs "Mistress Goes Overboard and Start Over Again" are represented by Junhong on the Penguin Music platform Go online and earn some pocket money.

Although it is not an album, there is no deliberate development of a music fan support club, just free-range style.

But because the three songs are so popular, there are always some listeners who will choose to download them, and they will get a share of the monthly settlement, which is not too much, but it can be a steady stream.

Therefore, Fang Mo is relatively wealthy right now and can afford bonuses and salary increases for the studio.

And by March next month, the share of the Stone Network broadcast in February will be settled, and the pockets will be even more swollen.

As for Stone's box office share, it's still early.

For movies released at the end of January, theaters will settle accounts with distributor Hongtu every 1-3 months, and Hongtu will settle accounts with Fang Mo and Qin Zisu, which will take 6-6 months at the earliest.

At that time, the filming of "Car Racing" was completed and the movie was being promoted and released, so I didn't think about it for a while.

……

"Crackling"

"Bang bang bang bang"

In the evening, Fang Mo was eating dumplings while looking out the window through the glass. The fireworks were brilliant and the sound of firecrackers faintly reached his ears. During the New Year, he knew he was lonely.

There was only one quick-frozen dumpling for the New Year's Eve dinner, which I bought in the supermarket when I returned in the afternoon, saving worry and effort.

The original person was actually not an orphan.

Although my father's grandparents were killed in a car accident ten years ago, there are still some uncles and aunts who have stopped interacting with each other for a long time. They broke off the relationship when the original mother was still alive because of the dispute over the family property.

It’s intolerable to just divide the inheritance of my grandparents and plan to steal my father’s inheritance.

It doesn't matter if the relationship is broken, it's clean and worry-free.

As for the original mother's natal family, the separation was more clean. It was not about fighting for property or anything, but that Fang's mother's parents divorced when she was a child. Her father started a family again, and her mother helped Fang's mother grow up. Unfortunately, Fang's mother's side A few years after their marriage, my father died of illness.

The old lady did not enjoy a few years of happiness until her death, and her memory of her grandmother was vague.

I have no memory of my grandpa, blank slate.

"Maybe, this is the price."

Fang Mo sighed softly. I won't go into details about how miserable his family was. He was not much better either. He was usually busy with work, but he didn't even have any family members during the holidays. Family ties were completely alien and lonely.

When the soul travels through, it is good or bad that some family bonds are missing. It is completely lonely from home to country, as if it is always reminded of being a misfit and a stowaway.

"It's pretentious, it's just too leisurely."

Suddenly, Fang Mo whispered to himself, he had finished eating the dumplings on the plate, and the sad autumn painting should be over. It was his first year in this world, and he had no girlfriend to understand, but this was the only time.

It is said that after the New Year, we should develop personal relationships, at least we will have a home to go to during the New Year.

My girlfriend’s house is half a family.

"hum, buzz"

Suddenly I got a call on my cell phone, very timely.

"Happy New Year."

After Fang Mo connected, Qin Zisu's charming voice came out, vaguely noisy, "I won't start the video because of the mess. I wish you a Happy New Year and go to bed early at night. I don't have time to play with some relatives and children here. , I’ll meet you when I get back.”

"Okay, it's okay to hang up."

"Well, happy new year to you too."

Fang Mo replied softly and felt better.

Finally, there is someone who remembers him. He can hear his voice after calling him, like a warmth flowing into his heart and lungs. This world is not that lonely.

Love it when it comes, and move forward with your head held high.
