The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

Chapter 364 Online
The publicity team of Yehua Entertainment acted quickly.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the good news about the overseas box office of "All or Nothing" was released.

When netizens saw these data, they were also a little surprised.

[The overseas box office of "All or Nothing" has exceeded 1100 million US dollars. Converted to the domestic box office, it is nearly 7700 million? So high? I am afraid it has broken this year's record? ]

[This year's overseas box office record has indeed been broken by "All or Nothing", and I looked at the movies that are about to be released in China this year, and almost none of them can compete with "All or Nothing", so I feel that not only overseas, but also this year's domestic box office champion will be "All or Nothing". 】

[Fuck, is "All or Nothing" so awesome? ]

[Of course not. The domestic box office of this movie is about to break 38 billion! ]

[Once the National Day holiday is over, the box office of "All or Nothing" is sure to exceed 38 billion, and this number is indeed comparable to that of "All or Nothing" this year. ]

[So from this perspective, isn’t Bai Xingjian quite awesome? Is “All or Nothing” his first movie? ]

[Bai Xingjian is not just a little bit awesome, he is extremely awesome! ]

[I feel it's okay. The 1100 million box office is actually all due to the support of overseas Chinese. Not many foreigners actually watched this movie. ]

[You know this now? ]

[Dude, you really don’t need to argue. Most of the overseas viewers of “All or Nothing” are indeed Chinese, and there are indeed not many real foreigners. ]

[Also, All or Nothing didn’t get very good reviews overseas, with far more criticism than in China, especially in South Korea.]

[Ah? What do you mean? ]

The comments section of the relevant Weibo posts were originally celebrating the excellent performance of "All or Nothing" overseas, but somehow the celebration turned into a science-based discussion, and almost everyone understood the reasons why some domestic films don't perform well at the overseas box office.

Linjiang Normal University, a girls’ dormitory.

Wang Pei Ni looked at these comments and couldn't help but complain: "With our self-castrating censorship mechanism, don't even think about making a bloody and exciting movie. If you make it, it won't pass the censorship. Even if it passes, it will probably be deleted completely."

"Yes, and I don't know what kind of movies those directors have made in recent years. Anyway, there are really not many movies that can attract me to watch. If "All or Nothing" was not directed by Bai Xingjian, I probably wouldn't watch it even if he promoted it well. After all, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years!"

Liu Yue echoed Wang Penny.

In recent years, the domestic film market has continued to be sluggish.

It’s not that the audience doesn’t have money, but the movies made by those directors are really unbearable to watch.

If it weren't for Bai Xingjian's "All or Nothing" that stimulated the market, the sluggish state of the domestic film market would probably have continued.

"I just hope Bai Xingjian won't be blinded by the elegance in front of him. His debut film, All or Nothing, has achieved such results. His next film should not be blinded by the success of All or Nothing and do some operations to gain traffic."

Lai Jie's tone was quite worried. She rested her chin on one hand while sitting on the table in the dormitory and said, "Otherwise, this will just be the same as some other directors and we will never be able to recover from this."

Hearing this, Luo Xi rolled his eyes and asked, "Xiao Jiejie, are you talking about that female director, Yang Shouling?"

"Yes." Lai Jie nodded.

Yang Shouling, a well-known female director.

At the beginning, she made a name for herself in the domestic film market by fighting female boxing.

Some related movie contents have sparked ridicule against some male groups on the Internet, producing some quite bad effects.

However, Yang Shouling's performance was recognized by many audiences, so much so that the movies she made in recent years were even regarded as the Bible by some female audiences.

However, these filmmakers who started out by taking unconventional means will eventually face backlash.

In recent years, perhaps because Yang Shouling's female boxing is too intense, the number of both female and male audiences going to see her movies has dropped sharply.

However, some directors just want to follow the trend of the films directed by Yang Shouling.

Therefore, in the domestic film market, for a long time, the films made have been full of content with sexist ideologies.

This also led to a rapid decline in the number of people going to cinemas to watch movies.

What’s funny is that these film directors who followed Yang Shouling’s lead don’t seem to be aware of this situation yet.

Then the domestic film market entered a vicious cycle, until Yang Shouling was semi-banned a few years ago and her works were taken off the shelves, the situation only improved a lot.

However, there are still movies with such content in the domestic film market, which puzzles many people.

"Bai Xingjian won't make a movie with this kind of content. He is now a traffic saint and has no shortage of exposure. So I think he will be more focused on polishing his work."

Liu Yue crossed her arms across her chest, having strong confidence in Bai Xingjian.

"I think so too! Bai Xingjian is not that kind of person." Wang Peini also nodded heavily.

Lai Jie smiled and said, "Then I hope I'm just worrying too much."

……

Baina Films.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, but there were still many staff members working overtime.

It’s not that these staff members have urgent tasks, but that overtime is their norm.

The office of the director of the Film and Television Department was also brightly lit at this moment.

Director Bi Chengping actually doesn't have much work to do, but he is still staying in the office to set an example for his subordinates.

After all, the superiors are working overtime, so isn't it natural for their subordinates to work overtime as well?

"Fuck! Is the overseas box office of the movie "All or Nothing" so high? Is this going to go against the will of heaven?!"

Bi Chengping was browsing Weibo in front of the computer screen, and then he saw the good news released by Yehua Entertainment and the official account of "All in One", which made him look surprised.

After being surprised for a while, Bi Chengping sighed and said with a frown:
"The domestic box office is already so high, and the overseas box office is still so high. It seems that some film awards this year will be swept by "All or Nothing"."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bi Chengping seemed to have thought of something, picked up his phone and called someone.

……

In a big villa in the Magic City.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking quite gentle was standing on the open-air balcony answering the phone.

“Was the movie ‘All or Nothing’ really written by Bai Xingjian?”

"Have you checked? Is it really written by him? Then I can only say that this movie still has room for improvement."

"The reason why this movie has such a high box office is because of the recent crackdown on northern Myanmar. If it weren't for the hot spot, the box office of All or Nothing would have dropped by at least half."

"But even if the box office drops by half, it's still nearly 2 billion. Why didn't we think of getting involved before? If we did, we would definitely make a lot of money. What a pity."

As he spoke, this rather gentle middle-aged man began to sigh.

But after hearing this, Bi Chengping on the other end of the phone almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

What do you mean, why didn’t we think of getting involved before?
As for the recent reputation of He Xiang and Bai Xingjian, who would dare to get involved? Except for those in the Beijing circle who were willing to give some face to Yehua Entertainment, most people avoided it.

The middle-aged man on the balcony continued to ask, "Besides All or Nothing, does Bai Xingjian have any other big moves this year?"

Bi Chengping shared some of the information he had collected during this period: "They seem to be filming a movie and a TV series, which will most likely be released at the end of the year. In addition to these, Bai Xingjian recently established a company called Phoenix Yufei Group. Their Phoenix Pictures, formerly Yecao Pictures, has also been merged into the Phoenix Yufei Group."

"There's this matter?" The middle-aged man blinked and said with a puzzled look, "Can Qiu Weirui just ignore what Bai Xingjian did?"

Bi Chengping was also quite puzzled about this matter: "Who knows what kind of agreement they reached? Qiu Weirui actually indulged Bai Xingjian so much."

The middle-aged man continued, "I think Bai Xingjian might have some new plan, otherwise they wouldn't have come up with these actions out of thin air. You should keep a close eye on them during this period."

"It's natural."

……

9 month 29 number.

Today is a Monday.

Xiaolin sat at his workstation, looking at the computer screen listlessly.

Because the National Day holiday is coming in a few days, yesterday, Sunday, was used as a day off.

Xiaolin's company does not have a two-day weekend off but a one-day weekend off, so he has to work on Saturday.

But last week's Sunday was used as a day off, so Kobayashi has been working for eight consecutive days during this period.

If National Day wasn't coming in two days, Xiao Lin would have lost all his energy.

Although he no longer has any energy and spirit now.

"Go to work, go to work, go to work, I want to slack off!"

Kobayashi cursed the capitalists in his heart, then looked around. After making sure that everything was safe, he manipulated the mouse and clicked on the website where he often slacked off.

——Yuandian Chinese website.

"How can I not read novels while working? If I can't read novels while working, then I might as well not go to work!"

Kobayashi muttered to himself in a low voice, looking up from time to time to be careful not to fail in his attempt to slack off.

The company's Internet speed is good and I was able to quickly access the Yuandian Chinese website.

Then a huge animation effect appeared on Kobayashi's computer screen.

The special effects were gorgeous, but Xiaolin's heart was trembling.

"What the hell! What the hell is Yuan Dian doing? Why is he putting up such a big special effect?"

After a moment of panic, Xiao Lin realized that no one around him noticed him, and his rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down.

His attention was focused on the screen again.

The full-screen effect did not last long and soon shrank back to the normal range on the web page.

At the same time, a line of words appeared on the screen.

[If you lose your humanity, you lose a lot; if you lose your animality, you lose everything.]

——Bai Xingjian, The Three-Body Problem]

"This sentence is quite interesting, and it's pretty good."

Xiao Lin blinked his eyes, revealing a bit of curiosity, "Which platinum master has published a new book? Origin directly created such a big special effect? ​​This special effect seems to have not existed before?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiaolin also noticed the content next to the sentence.

"Bai Xingjian? The Three-Body Problem?"

"Huh? Why does this name look so familiar?"

Kobayashi's eyes became blurry and he now felt extremely distressed.

He clearly felt that the name Bai Xingjian was very familiar, but he couldn't figure out who this person was for a while.

"I'm too lazy to think about it. I'll just click in and see if this novel is good or not."

Kobayashi didn't waste too many brain cells on this and clicked on the book "The Three-Body Problem".

"A new book? 190,000 words updated in one day???"

After entering the details page, Xiao Lin naturally saw some detailed information. "This book shouldn't be a traditional online novel, right? How can an online novel update 190,000 words a day? And this book doesn't even have an introduction. It must be traditional literature."

Xiaolin muttered.

Yuandian Chinese Network is considered one of the largest online novel platforms in China.

Of course, on this platform, in addition to reading online novels, you can also read some traditional literature.

As a bookworm, Kobayashi could tell the difference of "The Three-Body Problem" at a glance.

But at this moment, he had the urge to close this page.

The reason is simple. Xiao Lin likes to read online novels, but doesn't like to read traditional novels very much.

"Yuan Dian gave such a strong recommendation to the novel The Three-Body Problem. I guess he is quite optimistic about it, right? And I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the name Bai Xingjian. I wonder if he is the person who often appeared in textbooks when I was in school? He is already this age, and he still has a new book out. It should still be worth reading, right?"

Kobayashi thought so in his heart and clicked on the reading page.

【Science Frontier】

“Is this book ‘The Three-Body Problem’ a science fiction novel?”

Kobayashi's eyes lit up; he was a science fiction fan.

However, there is basically no "science fiction" in the current novel market. All of them are fantasy novels disguised as "science fiction".

So when Kobayashi saw a new science fiction novel written by a "traditional writer", he became a little excited.

So he just kept watching.

So much so that even the leader who was patrolling the class didn't notice it.

"Oh my god, what is Lin Heng doing? Mr. He has been standing next to him for a while and he didn't even notice."

"Is he learning some hardware softening technology? I must ask him for a license plate number later. He is so fascinated by it."

"But why do I feel like Ms. He is also fascinated by what she is watching? Ms. He is already at this age, she shouldn't be interested in these things, right?"

"Who knows?"
