MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 146 The first forty-six days of being popular

#米瑟Director's latest masterpiece "Deep Sea Giant Abyss", shockingly released on January 20#

As the winter vacation approached, this news almost killed the entertainment movie channel.

"The Abyss" is the third continuation of the Hollywood fantasy blockbuster. The first two works were about forests and snowfields respectively, and both received good reviews.

Especially the first one, whether it is special effects or plot, is the pinnacle of the same genre, attracting countless fans.

Therefore, even though the second part is slightly inferior to the first part, everyone is still full of expectations for "The Abyss".

【Ahhh, I've been looking forward to it. 】

[The third part is finally out, I have been waiting for this for five years. I'll be watching this drama this spring. 】

[It is said that the whole drama was filmed in the sea, and there will be a giant whale appearing, and the protagonists fight on the back of the giant whale! 】

[So in this movie, is the hero's wife really dead? Please don't use the knife. 】

[It is said that the special effects and fighting scenes are very exciting! Even if the fare is a bit more expensive, I am willing to pay. 】

It has been five years since the second film was released.

After five years of hard work, the total investment is close to 300 million US dollars. Everyone can't help but look forward to such a sincere work.

What's more, according to the comments on the Internet, the score of "The Abyss" is considered to be at an upper-middle level. As long as the special effects don't pull the hips and add exciting fights, then the viewing value of this movie will not be low.

Although it is not as good as the pinnacle of the first work, it can be regarded as a very sincere work.

With the arrival of the winter vacation, more and more people come to the cinema to watch movies. The revenue of movie theaters has also doubled.

"Everyone, if there are no accidents, this Spring Festival market must belong to "Deep Sea Abyss"!"

Manager Huang put a stack of documents on the table, his eyes lit up: "Whether it is a fan of director Mi Xiu or an ordinary passer-by, they all have a strong desire to watch this movie."

He paused, and glanced at everyone: "Give this movie a higher screening rate, believe me, you will never lose money."

They have already conducted a questionnaire survey, and according to the survey results, the box office of "Abyss" can exceed at least 3 billion.

If all goes well, breaking through 4 billion is not impossible.

Several supervisors next to him also nodded, but there was no objection.

There are many movies in the Spring Festival file, but none of them can reach the great influence of "The Abyss".

There is no doubt that if you bet on Director Mi Xiu, you will never lose money.

"But...Yao Bianliang's new movie will also be released on that day."

At this time, a voice sounded slowly, and the few people present were stunned.

Manager Cao leaned back in his chair and said earnestly: "Everyone knows Yao Bianliang's strength. Moreover, the investment of this new movie is close to 2 billion, and the overall investment is even higher than that of "Abyss."

Yao Bianliang had disappeared from the entertainment circle for a long time, now, newcomers would pop up from time to time in the entertainment circle, and they all had to forget Yao Bianliang, who was once top class.

At this time, when they suddenly heard her name, most of the people reacted for a while before recalling it.

"Yao Bianliang..." Manager Huang looked through the materials in his hand, and finally found the name of "Jiuzhou Shanhaiji".

"I remember the movie, it was good quality...we gave her a 12% screening rate, which is pretty high," he said.

Other film directors will pay a certain amount of fees in order to get a high-ranked film, and even compete to bid for the prime time, no expense spared.

On Yao Bianliang's side, there was no intention to pay for the film arrangement from the beginning to the end.

Under such circumstances, it is the result of the theater's careful consideration that it can still give her 12% of the film schedule during the Spring Festival.

Manager Cao frowned slightly: "12% must be less."

You know, Yao Bianliang's "Floating Life" counterattacked all the way, and the screening rate was once as high as 60%.

Manager Cao doesn't believe that Yao Bianliang's "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas", which Yao Bianliang has prepared for so long, will be worse than the original "Floating Sigh".

Of course, Manager Huang understood what the other party meant, but he also had his own considerations.

"Brother Cao, Yao Bianliang's "Sigh of Floating Life" did set a precedent, but how long ago was that old calendar? Now, when everyone mentions stars in the entertainment industry, how many people can think of the three words Yao Bianliang? Woolen cloth."

Manager Cao opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Although the words are not pleasant, what Manager Huang said is the truth.

Among the artists of Hudi Entertainment, there are newcomers coming out in large numbers, and the era of Yao Bianliang has passed. What's more, the theme of "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" has never been filmed before.

This is a brand-new attempt with great risks.

Manager Cao is very optimistic about this movie, but his personal taste does not represent the taste of the public. When theater managers judge movies, they can only objectively analyze market data, which is a basic professional quality.

Manager Huang continued: "Besides, being able to act in an excellent song and dance movie does not mean that you can make other movies well."

"If there is no movie "Deep Sea Abyss" this time, we can certainly give Yao Bianliang a higher ranking. But now, with Hollywood blockbusters, we have no reason to bet on a domestic movie!"

Manager Cao sighed and stopped insisting: "All right, that's all for the time being."

So in the end, "The Abyss" achieved a super-high screening rate in all major theaters—the lowest was 50%, and the highest even reached 60%.

This is only the data set at the beginning. If the follow-up income is good, the film scheduling rate will continue to rise.

And when "Deep Sea Abyss" was hotly discussed on the Internet, few people noticed that another domestic film with a huge investment-"Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" was also launched at the same time.

…

1.19, early in the evening.

In the movie theater, everyone gathered in twos and threes, some lined up to buy movie tickets, and some sat in the waiting area chatting, the scene was very lively.

Tonight is the day of the premiere of "The Abyss".

Therefore, even though it was very late, the movie theater did not look deserted.

"By the way... don't we really need to reserve the venue?" Mo Youqian was wearing a mask, and then looked at Yao Bianliang who was wearing a mask, magic mirror and fully armed, feeling a little helpless.

He really didn't expect that there would be so many people in the cinema in the early morning.

They walked into the theater like this, what if they were recognized?

It didn't matter to him, but Yao Bianliang was a well-known star after all, if he was recognized by others, he would inevitably have a lot of trouble.

Yao Bianliang lowered the brim of his peaked cap, looked around, and after confirming that he was safe, he turned to look at Mo Youqian.

"You don't understand this, do you? Only by watching the movie with everyone can you feel the atmosphere of the scene and get first-hand information."

"The theater is dimly lit, no one can notice us. Besides..."

Speaking of this, Yao Bianliang paused slightly, and raised his finger to the poster on the wall.

The huge poster of a sci-fi blockbuster is very eye-catching, with the words "Deep Sea Abyss" in the middle, giving people a mysterious and exciting look.

"What's more, we are watching a movie directed by Mi Xiu this time, and my fans will not appear in this theater."

You know, "Jiuzhou Mountain and Sea Chronicle" starring Yao Bianliang is in the theater next door, and it premiered at the same time as "Abyss".

However, any true fan of Yao Bianliang would not watch the premiere of "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" and watch Hollywood movies instead!

As for why Yao Bianliang wanted to watch the movie directed by Mi Xiu, there was also a reason.

She already knows "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" like the back of her hand. However, she has no clear concept of what the competitor's works are like.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles. Therefore, it is necessary to come to the theater to watch each other's movies.

Mo Youqian could only nod his head: "That's fine. I'll queue up to buy popcorn. What would you like to eat?"

Yao Bianliang thought for a while: "Have a bucket of popcorn and shrimp crackers, and a glass of iced Coke."

She doesn't need to be filming recently, so she can also be a little presumptuous and eat some high-calorie food.

"Deep Sea Abyss" is a sincere work of director Mi Xiu after five years of precipitation, and the quality must be very good. At that time, she can enjoy the exciting and exciting plot while eating popcorn!

"Speaking of which, 80% of those who are still in the cinema are here for "Abyss", right?"

After everything was ready, Yao Bianliang and Mo Yougan walked to the theater together. She looked at the flow of people in front of her and muttered softly.

Mo Youqian also spoke briskly: "It seems that the movie directed by Mi Xiu is really popular."

Cinema No. 9 is just adjacent to Cinema No. 10.

The former is the screening hall of "The Great Abyss", while the latter is playing "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas".

Compared to the lively scene in the No. 9 cinema hall, the No. 10 screening hall is much deserted. The screening time is almost up, and there are still not many audiences setting foot here.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Yao Bianliang's lips rose slightly, and his mood became more and more cheerful.

Look, this is the strong opponent she carefully selected, and it really is very reliable!

…

The opening chapter of "The Abyss" is a sea.

The male protagonist washes his hands in the golden basin, and becomes a fisherman who fishes by the seaside incognito.

However, an unexpected letter broke his peaceful life...

At 20 minutes into the film, Yao Bianliang sat up straight and became interested.

The hero is facing a difficult choice. If he wants to achieve the best of both worlds, he must face an almost impossible challenge.

Huge waves rolled up on the sea, and in the violent storm, the tsunami rolled up a huge cruise ship.

In the vast sea, this cruise ship is like a drop in the ocean, pitifully small.

"This special effect is really well done..." Yao Bianliang became more and more interested.

One hour into the plot, the hero meets a villain who is several times stronger than him.

In the narrow escape situation, the male protagonist cleverly took advantage of the opponent's weakness, launched an exciting chase, and finally escaped from death.

The whole process is exciting, running, racing, fighting... In short, all the wonderful fighting scenes you can think of are here.

After the male protagonist escaped from birth, he searched for his former little partner all the way, and everyone embarked on the road to save the world together.

The story is still old-fashioned heroism, but the special effects and fighting scenes are a must.

Hollywood blockbusters are almost in this tone. It is not easy to achieve this level.

Yao Bianliang looked down happily while eating popcorn.

The ending part of the movie is even more exciting.

In order to maintain the peace of the world, the protagonist group and the villain launched a desperate struggle, and in the process, the deep-sea giant whale that had been sleeping for many years was finally awakened.

The situation became complicated, and the difficulty of the battle escalated rapidly.

In the end, the hero, relying on his extraordinary courage and force, cleverly used the characteristics of the giant whale to kill people with a knife, and finally overthrew the villain.

The sea waves, giant whales, and the struggle between people are all fully demonstrated in the final battle.

When the lights of the movie theater came on, Yao Bianliang looked at the time on his watch—a total of 3 hours, just right.

Other audience members in the cinema also stood up in twos and threes.

"The special effects are quite enjoyable to watch."

"No, the last battle was too exciting."

"It's just that the plot is a bit boring and procrastinating, but the flaws do not hide the advantages."

"Sure enough, if you want to watch this kind of thrilling blockbuster, you still have to watch Hollywood."

Everyone was discussing, and walked out of the theater in twos and threes.

She also followed the flow of people and walked forward together with Mo Youqian.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Look, as expected of an international director, this ability is really beyond words.

Her system mission this time might really hope to be completed!
