After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 266 The Fairy Who Wants to Turn the Tables
Using songs to boost movie box office is a good way of publicity and promotion.

In Li Mingyang's impression, the most successful one is "Fleet of Time".

The promotion of the relationship announcement was weak, and the scheduling was almost a suicide pact.

恋爱通告8月12日周四上映，13.14.15是首周末三天，8月16日是七夕节。

There is nothing wrong with this schedule choice. When a movie is released, the highest box office period is the first weekend.

The first weekend box office of many movies accounts for more than 40% of the total box office.

The idea of ​​a five-day rush is a good one.

But Shrek 16 is coming on the 4th! The Expendables is coming on the 20th!

It directly hits Shrek the Monsters 4 and The Expendables. Even Feng Kuzi dared not to do it, but Wang Lihong did it...

"Love Announcement" grossed 820 million on the first day, 650 million on the second day, 430 million on Saturday, and 410 million on Sunday... This box office trend is really ugly.

It wouldn't have been so bad.

Who let the Filipino fans spray the bees and the little lion so hard that they broke the defense? They were beaten to a pulp by the two companies using ticket supplies.

The box office fell instead of rising in the first weekend, and both Wang Lihong and Liu Yifei were extremely anxious.

However, the two distribution companies that are the best at promoting and marketing domestic entertainment are Huayi and Guangxian.

It just so happened that Liu Yifei had offended both of these families.

Plus……

Guangguang and Yinghuang are having a very unhappy relationship and don't bother to care about the relationship announcement.

Wang Lihong wanted to pay for the ticket, but there was no way.

With nothing to do and heartbroken by the plummeting box office, Liu Yifei and Wang Lihong turned to Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang didn't bother to care about their lives, but when he learned that Liu Yifei was not living well, he was still very happy and did not deny it outright.

Just fool the two of them for fun.

He was really just fooling Liu Yifei.

Li Mingyang wanted to trick Wang Lihong into helping him by singing the four songs titled "Your Name".

I really can't think of a new theme song.

Only the original one can be used.

Wang Lihong had originally agreed to help and offered a friendship price of four million, in addition to the singing rights.

This price is really

Not only does he have the song, but he can also be used to promote it later.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Who would have known… On the 16th, Chinese Valentine’s Day, the box office of Love Announcement reached its peak, breaking through 1000 million for the first time, reaching 1100 million.

Then there was no news from Wang Lihong anymore.

He doesn't answer the phone and doesn't reply to text messages.

August 8, Mingyang Entertainment.

"It's true that one movie can't accommodate two kinds of people..."

Li Mingyang shook his head and blocked Wang Lihong.

Your Name has entered the final stage. The editing, special effects, color grading, music, and subtitles have basically been completed. Only some details need to be adjusted.

The most painful thing is that there is still a theme song missing.

It’s really hard to fit the movie scenario and theme of your name while also sounding good.

After being busy for the whole morning and still having no idea what to do, Li Mingyang decided to drive out in the afternoon to find some inspiration.

Just as he was about to leave, his cell phone rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was Liu Yifei calling.

"It's so rare that you actually called me..." Li Mingyang said.

"Eh……"

Liu Yifei sighed softly, feeling terrible.

"You are so young, why are you sighing?"

"The box office is so low, what's there to be happy about..."

"The box office is OK. It took in 3410 million in five days, which is better than Far Cry."

“But the box office of Mimi’s Solitary Island has exceeded 100 million.”

"You also want to break 100 million?"

"Of course."

"You're overthinking. It would be great if it could break 50 million."

"..."

"Is Wang Lihong crazy? He actually chose such a time slot to directly collide with Shrek the Monsters 4 and The Expendables. He is really courting death!"

Liu Yifei was slightly stunned. A few days ago, Li Mingyang praised Wang Lihong for being a good person and helping him sing, saying that there was still hope for her. But today, he directly cursed her and said that she was looking for death. This change in attitude was too fast...

"Does he not want to help you sing anymore?"

"What do you think?" Li Mingyang asked back.

Liu Yifei sighed again, "Their expectation for the movie's box office is 50 million... Now it has almost reached the target."

"After all, they are the Four Heavenly Kings."

"It's better than a secret that can't be told..."

"This is just deceiving yourself. The Secret was one of the top ten domestic films back then."

"Eh..." Liu Yifei sighed again.

"Don't sigh. You'll have more to sigh about later. This is just the beginning."

"I find that you really just can't stand seeing me do any good... Jing Tian's beautiful boss, I also mobilized fans to help her book a theater, but I didn't expect... when my movie was released, I was beaten up by the beautiful boss. Can't you help me get a ticket subsidy? I heard from them that the ticket subsidy was your idea."

"It has nothing to do with me. Don't accuse me. Okay, I'm hanging up now."

"Wait, if he doesn't help you sing, I will."

"Just your singing skills."

"Fix the sound!"

"forget it……"

"You and Director Feng made such a big bet. I can sing the theme song for you and also help you promote the movie. It's like killing two birds with one stone. I have more fans than Mimi. You know I didn't give you any ticket subsidies this time. Otherwise, how could the box office be so low? It would have exceeded 100 million long ago."

"hehe."

Li Mingyang laughed and hung up the phone.

"Over 100 million... Do you really think that ticket subsidies are omnipotent?"

Li Mingyang left Mingyang Entertainment and went to the restaurant opposite the company to eat.

The shops on the entire street opposite Mingyang Entertainment are almost all supported by Mingyang Entertainment. From the original five small restaurants and two small supermarkets, in less than a year, the entire street has been completely transformed, with more than a dozen large restaurants, more than a dozen boutique women's clothing stores, as well as many Internet cafes, supermarkets, coffee shops, and small clinics.

It is the most prosperous area nearby.

Li Mingyang wanted to eat hotpot today, so he went to a hotpot restaurant. When the boss saw him, he enthusiastically took him to a special private room.

Soon, the red and white double-boiled hotpot arrived, along with a dozen of his favorite beef and mutton, vegetables, and ice jelly.

It is really comfortable to eat hot pot, enjoy the air conditioning and drink cold beer in the summer.

After eating and drinking, Li Mingyang picked up his mobile phone to see if anyone had sent him a message.

I don’t have any text messages, but I have a lot of QQ messages. I only reply to important people and not to unimportant ones.

After replying to the message, when Li Mingyang was about to leave, Liu Yifei called again.

"what happened again?"

"I'm in KTV. I'll sing a few songs for you. I sing pretty well."

"You sing."

Li Mingyang asked Liu Yifei to sing, but he never considered Liu Yifei. As for female singers, he had already found one he liked.

In fact, he didn't find it.

But it was Yao Beina who was recommended by Zheng Dalong.

Liu Yifei’s best friend and good sister.

Yao's father and Liu's mother were colleagues at the opera house, so the two families had close contacts and the two girls also played together.

Although Yao Beina is not very good-looking, her singing ability is far better than Liu Yifei.

She sang many songs in Legend of Zhen Huan.

Li Mingyang put his mobile phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone. The first song Liu Yifei sang was a difficult one, "My Heart Will Go On" by Big Ship.

The second song is also an English song, Taylor Swift’s famous song Love Story.

"How was my singing? Was it good?"

"Forehead……"

To be fair, it’s okay.

The singing is pretty good among the actresses.

Better than Mimi.

"Is it okay or not?" Liu Yifei asked coquettishly.

Li Mingyang was thinking about how to refuse when he suddenly heard a new song coming from the other side. At first it was just background music, but after a while, there was suddenly sound.

Another English song.

But it is different from the lyrical English songs, My Heart Will Go On and Love Story.

This is a divine electronic music song.

TiK ToK means Douyin.

Who is this? So strong, he even sings like an electronic song!

The melody of the electronic music echoed in my mind, and the English lyrics lingered in my ears. Suddenly, it seemed like something was opened.

Li Mingyang closed his eyes and began to think.

Suddenly he opened his eyes, and he finally found the theme song that was very suitable for Your Name.

Liu Yifei didn't hear Li Mingyang's reply for a long time, and suddenly turned around to look at Yao Beina who was singing happily.

"Are you listening to her sing?"

"Yeah, I sing much better than you."

"Would you like me to introduce her to you? She's a great singer." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"No, that's it."

beep...

"Hang up just now?" Liu Yifei widened her eyes. They were chatting just now, but he hung up the phone suddenly. She felt something was wrong, as if she had seen it before.

"Sissi, are you still going to sing?"

Liu Yifei looked up at Yao Beina and said, "I don't want to sing anymore. I'm not in the mood."

"What's wrong? Who made our Sissi angry?"

"Who else could it be... What bad luck..."

"Li Mingyang? You just talked to Li Mingyang on the phone? Oh my god, he actually answered your call!" Yao Beina said in shock.

When Liu Yifei heard this, she immediately became angry and gave Yao Beina a cold look.

"Xixi, that's not what I meant. I just felt it was quite something..." Yao Beina made things worse.

"You said that I was already in a bad mood, and you rubbed salt into my wounds."

"Okay, okay, no more talking."

Yao Beina chose another song, Hiroshima Mon Amour, and handed the microphone to Liu Yifei, wanting to sing a love song with her.

Liu Yifei sang a few lines, then suddenly put down the microphone and grabbed Yao Beina's hand, "Sister Yao, can you do me a favor and take me to Hengdian?"

"It's no big deal, just go."

"My mother won't let me!"

Yao Beina was about to agree when she suddenly felt something vibrating under her butt. She stood up and saw that it was her cell phone. She picked it up and saw more than a dozen missed calls, all from Li Mingyang.

"Xixi, let's talk later. I'll make a call first." Yao Beina said as she dialed the phone and walked out.

Liu Yifei hummed and stood up happily. "When Sister Yao comes back, we will go to Hengdian together. I am so sincere in sending him off, he should be a little touched... Oh, and let Shu Chang bring Juan Juan with her. Juan Juan is a child so it will be easier for her to speak."

Liu Yifei wants to use the tickets to make a comeback.

Yinghuang and Guangxian are having a falling out, and now only Li Mingyang can help to open up this gap. She doesn't ask for much, as long as she can invest 10 million.

As long as they can issue tickets to fill the gap, Wang Lihong said that 50 million is enough, but if it can exceed 100 million, who doesn't want to exceed 100 million?

The more Liu Yifei thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. She even figured out where to get the money from and sell tickets to make up for it.

click!
The door of the private room opened, and Yao Beina said apologetically, "Xixi, I have to leave right away. Li Mingyang asked me to go back to record a song."

Liu Yifei was stunned. "Li Mingyang asked you to record a song? Do you know Li Mingyang?"

"Yes, I know him! Director Zheng Dalong introduced me to him. I won't say more. I have to go back quickly. I've already bought the bill. Don't run around. Go back to the hotel early. Other aunties will be worried." Yao Beina picked up her bag and said while waving goodbye.

"..."

Liu Yifei was speechless. Seeing Yao Beina leave, she felt like crying but had no tears...

She has thought of everything...

The only thing I didn’t expect was that Yao Beina and Li Mingyang had known each other for a long time.
