Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years
Chapter 449: The End of "Growing Pain 2"
Lin Miaomiao tilted her head back and said. ඏ🌷 🐸💀
"What's so exciting about this? I used to think being a celebrity was quite interesting. Now I realize it's incredibly exhausting."
"I don't want to continue being a movie star anymore. I'd rather be a TV host back then; it was much simpler and happier."
Upon hearing this, Li Haoyu had an idea. "That's perfect, I'll retire after this movie is over, so why don't you just retire from acting altogether? We can live a quiet life just the two of us."
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Miaomiao sat up in bed.
"Really? You're a big-name film director now, are you really willing to give that up? I heard that actresses are lining up to talk to you about scripts."
Li Haoyu said, "What's there to be reluctant about? Don't underestimate your husband. Fame and fortune are nothing to me..."
"But you have to feed me first."
Lin Miaomiao noticed that Li Haoyu seemed normal at first.
Later, Li Haoyu stared straight at him.
Lin Miaomiao followed Li Haoyu's gaze and looked at herself.
Lin Miaomiao then realized that she had just been excited.
I completely forgot to cover myself with clothes.
How could Li Haoyu tolerate this?
The two then engaged in another passionate struggle on the bed.
……
However, when Li Haoyu and Lin Miaomiao were making out at home...
The box office of "Sweeping Away Black Storm" has been increasing wildly.
Generally speaking, regardless of the type of movie, box office revenue tends to drop in the second week.
However, perhaps due to Li Haoyu's scarcity marketing strategy, the film's box office not only did not drop but actually increased by 8000 million, while the box office of films in the same period dropped by more than 30%!
This demonstrates the powerful box office appeal of "Sweeping Away Black Forces." Furthermore, the film has received excellent ratings and positive audience reviews.
The reviews were mostly positive, and even Douban, which is known for its harsh standards on commercial films, gave it a score of 5, which is quite an achievement for a commercial film.
The most well-known film-related social media account in China, "Poison Tongue Movie," commented on "The Storm of Sweeping Away Organized Crime" as follows:
"An unparalleled film on the theme of cracking down on organized crime, a dark horse film that suddenly appeared during the Spring Festival season."
"No one can deny that the director's first film is so amazing. 'Sweeping the Black Storm' is one of the best works in recent years that portrays the battle between good and evil."
In an era of heavy marketing, how did "The Storm of Anti-Corruption" become a dark horse and quietly amaze everyone? The reason is simple: it respects the intelligence of the audience.
"The secret to data usage: No data usage."
You won't find a single pretty face, nor will you find a charlatan without a representative work. This is in stark contrast to a production team that spends 80% of its budget on actors and only 20% on production.
"The production team of 'Sweeping Away Organized Crime' was truly conscientious. Every actor did their best to understand their role and cooperate with each other. They were an important reason for the success of 'Sweeping Away Organized Crime'."
We're putting on a dramatic show, they're putting on an acting show.
Even after the official interview with Li Haoyu, such a report was issued.
"Sweeping Away Organized Crime": A brand-new model for legal dramas.
"The Storm of Sweeping Away Organized Crime" is very realistic, presenting human nature through details. There is no absolute good or absolute evil. It directly expresses the complexity of human nature, the intertwining of greed and desire.
Li Haoyu naturally saw this comment as well.
As expected of official media, the journalist who wrote the review is clearly very skilled. One sentence is simple, clear, and concise, summarizing the key points and directly addressing the film itself.
This is actually what Li Haoyu is proud of: by portraying characters, recreating scenes, and controlling details, he brings the audience into the movie's plot.
This allows them to instantly immerse themselves in the story and successfully propel the film's plot to its climax.
With the addition of various favorable conditions.
In its third week of release, the box office reached 1.88 billion yuan, continuing to rank first in the Spring Festival box office charts, with almost no rivals.
At this time, Li Haoyu also began to release behind-the-scenes footage of the film and interviews with each actor. Correspondingly, the box office of "Sweeping Black Storm" rose higher and higher every day!
At this point, even Li Haoyu personally took to the front lines to promote the product.
He even appeared on the flagship variety show of his old rival, Hunan TV; after all, there are no permanent enemies. Strictly speaking, Li Haoyu is no longer with Jiangzhou TV.
Not to mention, as a commercial director who has basically secured the top spot at the Spring Festival box office, even Hunan TV has to bow down and support him. Now the two are basically not on the same level anymore.
Because "Sweeping Away Organized Crime" basically has a monopoly.
Films released during the Spring Festival season have largely abandoned the idea of competing with "Sweeping Black Storm" for first place, and instead have launched a fierce battle for second place.
After all, no matter how strong "Sweeping Away Black Storm" is, it won't steal all the box office revenue. During the special period of the Spring Festival, many people watch at least two movies.
However, in the fourth week, "Sweeping Black Storm" continued to rake in 100 million yuan at the box office, officially bringing its national box office to a high of 2.51235 billion yuan.
This marks its seventh place among the top ten highest-grossing films of all time. It's no exaggeration to say that this is a very significant day for the Chinese film market.
Many film critics and keyboard warriors have started to touting this. They see it as proof that the domestic economy has developed and that ordinary people have money in their pockets.
This represents a comprehensive upgrade from the film market to cinemas, and also symbolizes the improvement of the commercialization of domestic films. "Sweeping Away Black Storm" is just one representative film in this regard.
It could even be said that they were pioneers in the development of commercial films in China.
However, Li Haoyu believes that even without "The Storm of Sweeping Away Black Forces," there would be "XX Storm," or other excellent films. 👍☺ ❻❾𝕤ĤuЖ.𝓒Øм 🌷★
However, this does not negate the significance of the "Anti-Gang Storm" campaign.
Who says audiences only care about big-name directors, big investments, and big-name stars? As long as you put your heart into it, the actors will perform well, and the leaders will support you too.
However, even the most brilliant films can hardly defy objective laws.
After six weeks in theaters, "Sweeping Black Storm" grossed less than five million yuan per day and was pulled from theaters. The film's final box office figure was 3.1467 billion yuan.
It only moved up one spot on the domestic all-time box office chart, squeezing into the top six. It didn't achieve the phenomenal success that audiences expected.
But for the film's producers and distributors, none of them were not beaming with joy.
Even the usually composed Third Master Han couldn't help but praise Li Haoyu.
He praised the future of Chinese films, saying that they need fresh blood like Li Haoyu: only with more and more people like him can the film market stop stagnating.
He was like a raging sardine.
As for the happiest person, it was none other than Ouyang Tai, the director of Jiangzhou TV station. In fact, Ouyang Tai's initial investment in Li Haoyu was not without an element of gambling.
Firstly, he felt that Li Haoyu had unlimited potential.
Even if "Sweeping Away Black Storm" loses money this time, as long as Li Haoyu honestly returns to the fields of TV dramas and variety shows, he won't have to worry about not making back the money he lost.
Secondly, Ouyang Tai felt that there was a high probability that he would not lose money.
Because apart from Best Actor Zhang Ze, the other actors didn't receive much in terms of salary. "The Storm of Anti-Corruption" also didn't have many large-scale scenes.
This cost is quite low for the film industry, and he also used his connections to get China Film Group to distribute it. As long as the film doesn't lose a lot of money in terms of word-of-mouth, it will most likely still make a small profit.
He just hadn't expected Li Haoyu to be so aggressive, and now he was starting to regret it. He'd been too conservative when he invested in Li Haoyu; he actually had some savings left for his funeral.
What a pity!
However, Ouyang Tai couldn't help but calculate the dividends he was about to receive, and he couldn't help but laugh again. This investment alone had earned him at least tens of millions of yuan.
He has basically achieved financial freedom in his life.
However, the person who got the biggest slice of the pie from "Sweeping Away Black Storm" was Li Haoyu.
Because he wasn't just a producer, he was also involved in distribution and promotion. All the money essentially went from one hand to the other, and his company was involved in everything.
Not to mention that two weeks after the release of "Sweeping Away the Black Storm", various film companies were already waving money at him.
Budget: What is that?
The budget for the new movie was never even raised.
Actors: Whether they are Best Actor or Best Actress.
Li Haoyu can choose whatever he wants. Even if Director Li wants to discuss the script with the actresses privately in the hotel, that's perfectly fine.
Division: All are divided in a tiered manner.
The specific profit sharing can be discussed. Li Haoyu can also invest himself.
However, Li Haoyu, who should have been enjoying the adulation and glory of the crowd, has disappeared without a trace. No one can find him; it's as if he vanished into thin air.
Of course, Lin Miaomiao also vanished without a trace.
…………
At this moment, Lin Miaomiao and Li Haoyu.
The two are already vacationing on a beach in Alaska.
Lin Miaomiao looked at Li Haoyu lying on the beach chair.
She really couldn't hold back anymore.
Lin Miaomiao lifted the straw hat that Li Haoyu was using to shield himself from the sun. "Is this really a good thing for us? We've run off on vacation without telling anyone."
"Aren't we going too far?"
Li Haoyu waved his hand and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Why should we care about other people's opinions when we're only living once? Besides, the movie is almost over."
"Whether we are here or not has little impact on us anymore."
Lin Miaomiao lowered her head and thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
Lin Miaomiao stopped worrying and snuggled into Li Haoyu's arms to enjoy the vast, unobstructed coastline and bright sunshine together.
Li Haoyu glanced at Lin Miaomiao and couldn't help himself.
Lin Miaomiao really has a big heart.
How could I believe something so absurd?
Actually, there was another reason why Li Haoyu did this that he couldn't tell Lin Miaomiao. In fact, during the second week of the release of "Sweeping Away the Black Storm," Li Haoyu received a notification sound from the simulator.
"Host, the side quests are complete. Both main and side quests are finished. Do you wish to return to your original world immediately?"
At that time, Li Haoyu was actually quite desperate.
After all, his return to the world of "Nothing But Thirty" was forced; he wasn't given a choice. After a dizzying experience, he was forcibly sent back to the real world.
So when Li Haoyu asked about the simulator this time...
I didn't have any expectations.
Fortunately, the movie "Sweeping Away the Black Storm" was a great success, and even if he returns to the real world, Lin Miaomiao will be able to live a life of comfort and ease.
But to Li Haoyu's surprise, the simulator gave him an unexpected answer.
"The host has requested that growth remain in the film and television world."
"Your global influence has reached the required level, so you can stay in the film and television world for an additional period of time. However, you cannot continue to influence the world line during your stay, and your evaluation after returning will be lowered."
"Do you wish to end your stay in the film and television world and return to the real world immediately?"
Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard the answer was "simulator".
It seems there's still a lot to explore regarding the simulator's rules.
As for the simulator's statement that it does not allow the world line to continue to change, it is actually easy for him to understand.
If Li Haoyu continues to plagiarize classic works from the original world and becomes a plagiarist of entertainment literature, he could easily become an entertainment godfather in just a few years.
If Li Haoyu wanted to go a step further, building an entertainment empire and then expanding into other industries to become a hidden mastermind behind the scenes wouldn't be too difficult.
It seems that Li Haoyu can only enjoy life quietly now, and can no longer cause trouble everywhere. He can only be content with being an ordinary person in solitude.
The only difference is that he might have a few hundred million more money than an ordinary person.
At that moment, Lin Miaomiao's smiling face flashed through Li Haoyu's mind again. Without hesitation, Li Haoyu said, "I choose to stay in the 'Growing Pain 2' world. I don't care about the lower rating or anything."
With Li Haoyu's reply.
The emulator's sound also disappeared completely.
Lin Miaomiao seemed to sense something at this moment, "Honey, what's wrong? Quickly help me apply some sunscreen, otherwise I'll get a tan."
Li Haoyu couldn't resist when he heard Lin Miaomiao's request.
What kind of request is this...? Let me handle it!
The outcome of such an outrageous request is predictable.
Li Haoyu couldn't resist starting to gank relentlessly in the jungle and on the lanes.
Lin Miaomiao slapped Li Haoyu's hand away and said, "Be careful when you touch my belly, there are already two little ones of yours inside."
Li Haoyu was taken aback at first, then said with some confusion.
"What little guy?"
Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Li Haoyu and said, "You're usually so clever, but why are you so clumsy when it comes to yourself? What I mean is, you're going to be the father of twins."
Li Haoyu couldn't help but say smugly, "It has to be me!"
"It's a double-yolk egg. Miracles really do happen with great force."
Lin Miaomiao noticed that Li Haoyu's focus had become very strange again.
She couldn't help but say, "Alright, keep applying sunscreen to me." Li Haoyu nodded repeatedly, but this time his movements were excessively gentle.
Even Lin Miaomiao couldn't stand it anymore.
"I'm only a little pregnant, my belly isn't showing yet. It's okay if you apply the sunscreen a little harder, do you hear me?"
Li Haoyu scratched the back of his head and said, "Aren't these twins? We need to be extra careful. I also wanted to ask if your appetite has doubled recently."
"Get out of here!"
The two were making playful noises.
They lingered on the beach.
