Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 183 The First Cry of Rose Films

Wang Zhongjun heard this,

He felt a stir in his heart, and what Wang Zhonglei said did make some sense.

The purpose of the theme song is to attract traffic to the movie.
Now it seems that Love Story has become a bit too prominent.

Why do bad movies produce great hits?

Isn’t it because the main course of the movie’s content is not as good as the side dish of the theme song?

A large amount of marketing expenses were spent to attract audiences.

The audience only listened to the theme song and left.
Then the movie would be a huge failure.

"What you said makes sense."

Wang Zhongjun nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother, I plan to contact all the media outlets that are familiar with Huayi and ask them to write in this direction to ruin Gu Bei's reputation in China." Wang Zhonglei said hurriedly when he saw this.

"can."

Wang Zhongjun pondered for a moment and agreed.

Because Gu Bei had previously made the conflict between the two parties public during an interview with Xinlang.

As a result, Gu Bei just showed up.
Huayi was immediately criticized by netizens in the country.

Even Huayi has no way to change the netizens' opinions.

There was already a case where Chen Kaige demonstrated a tragic lesson, being nailed to the shelf of the Internet for the rest of his life for people to see.

Therefore, the only option left for them is to discredit Gu Bei.

When everyone is equally black, no one cares.

……

Not a few days.

The Rashomon of Film and Television Promotions: Is the Theme Song's Popularity Honey or Arsenic?

[The music is taking over the main theme, and the box office may be the victim! ]

Several articles have just been published.

It immediately disrupted the original rhythm of the carnival.

"Gu Bei has only been back in North America for a few months, and he's already produced a new movie. Isn't this a crude, shoddy film just for a quick buck?"

"So Love Story is the theme song of a movie. I didn't know that before. This movie's marketing is really off the mark!"

"Hahaha, this movie's marketing was great. The song became popular, the singer became popular, but the movie didn't!"

Gu Bei naturally couldn't see these comments.
But Shu Chang saw it,

Then Liu Yifei knew,
Finally, Gu Bei had to know.

"Gu Bei, it won't be like what the comments say, and I'll be the only one who becomes famous in the end, right?" Liu Yifei was so concerned that she was confused. She wasn't as anxious as she was now when she heard about her own comments.

"There's no connection. You became famous this time simply because you sing so well. There's no other factor that has influenced you."

Gu Bei smiled and said, "Instead of worrying about all these miscellaneous things, you might as well think about what to wear to the hot springs.
This week on Billboard, Love Story has climbed to number 25!

"I definitely won't cheat!"

Liu Yifei bit her teeth lightly.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was lured into this trap set by Gu Bei.

Although, she was the one who made the bet.

But this was started by Gu Beiqi.

How abominable!

After a pause,

Liu Yifei calmed down and said, "Gu Bei, I recently received a commercial performance and I'm struggling with whether to take it or not.

The main issue is that I have to ask for leave from the crew, which will disrupt the filming schedule."

"What commercial performance?"

Gu Bei was a little curious.

I don’t know what kind of commercial performance can make Liu Yifei so conflicted.

"A real estate company called Evergrande asked me to attend a property launch event and specifically asked me to sing Love Story."

"That's a lot, right?"

Gu Bei smiled.

Real estate developers have always been generous.

Liu Yifei said softly, "Two apartments."

"catch!"

Gu Bei couldn't help but sigh, celebrities really do make money, "I know what you're worried about, but China's economy is taking off right now. If someone is attracted to buy a house because of your fame, it's definitely a sure win!"

……

Two weeks later.

Saturday.

Rose Films.

"You have a nice layout here."

Eric, the president of Summit Entertainment, walked onto the rooftop and saw the small tea room that Gu Bei had set up there.

He took the coffee from his assistant Edward, sat down next to Gu Bei, and opened his laptop: "Have you received any box office news on your romantic film?"

"not yet."

Gu Bei shook his head. "Did you receive that horror movie?"

Eric also shook his head.

Yesterday was Friday,
Gu Bei's "500 Days of Summer" and Eric's "Garage Horror (P2)" were released at the same time.
Currently, both of them are anxiously waiting for the box office email from the distribution manager.

Gu Bei simply called Eric over.

If two people wait together, it might not be so difficult.

These two films are very important to Rose Pictures and Summit Entertainment.

For Rose Films,

Summer is the first cry of Rose Films in Hollywood.
Whether it blooms or withers will greatly affect the progress of subsequent projects.

If Summer fails at the box office, at least the investment funds for the artists that Gu Bei and Leonardo DiCaprio are promoting will be greatly affected.

As for Summit Entertainment,
Garage Horror is also their first appearance in the North American market.
Before this, Summit Entertainment was a distributor that mainly engaged in overseas distribution. It had invested in several films but had never been involved in North American distribution.

However, due to many years of working experience,
Eric is still the garage horror, striving for the number of 2131 open galleries.

In comparison, the number of 266 art galleries opened in Samo seems a bit bleak.

"It might be related to the writers' strike that started on the 5th. The entire industry has been impacted by it, so naturally the box office performance is slower."

Eric thought of a possible reason, "By the way, I heard Paramount is looking for you?"

"It was also because of the writers' strike.

You know, if the union decides to strike, all the writers will have to stop working, and the script for Transformers 2 hasn't been completed yet."

Gu Bei nodded, "So Paramount approached me and wanted me to join the crew of Transformers 2.

On the surface, it's the work of a director, but in reality, it's the work of a screenwriter."

Eric glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"reject!"

Gu Bei said without hesitation.

joke,

This kind of scab work,

Gu Bei would never do that.

"You made the right choice."

Eric patted Gu Bei's shoulder appreciatively and said, "You have to be more careful about Paramount in the future. Don't forget where we got the Twilight project from!"

Didn't I pry it from you?
Oh……

After a pause,

Gu Bei just remembered,

Before the Twilight project expired, it belonged to MTV Films, a second-tier label of Paramount Pictures.

He frowned: "Paramount wants to trick me?"

Eric smiled and said, "To be precise, it's Brad Grey, the current chairman of Paramount Pictures."

"Isn't that the one that Entertainment Weekly broke the news about and mocked me at the executive meeting?"

Gu Bei suddenly remembered it from his memory and felt a sudden fear.

If he has greed in his heart,

If you covet Paramount's $1 million reward, you will definitely be stabbed in the back by Paramount in the end.
When the scab issue was exposed, his image in the industry basically collapsed.

at this time,

Eric looked at his laptop and said, "The distribution manager sent me a message saying that the box office figures for Garage Horror yesterday are out, totaling $67!
It is estimated that the box office revenue for the first weekend will exceed 200 million US dollars! "

After a pause, he said to Gu Bei happily, "Bruce, this time, you really should let us, Summit Entertainment, distribute the movie!"
