Chapter 497: The first cold encounter
If he really dared to talk about being a hooligan, she would definitely teach him a lesson!
It had to be said that the threat from his girlfriend was quite intimidating to Song Mian. Song Mian replied with a straight face. “The topic I want to discuss with you is life.”
Yun Xiangxiang raised her hand to cover her eyes.
Life was such a philosophical and profound word!
Under such circumstances, even if Song Mian said it out in such a serious manner, it would still be difficult for her to look at it.
Yun Xiangxiang could not continue the conversation. She thought about it and placed her thumb on the button to cut off the video call. “Mr. Song, Congratulations. You have successfully cut off our conversation today. Rest early and have a good night.”
After saying that, before Yun Xiangxiang could even think about it, she received a call from her phone. Before Song Mian could reply, she hung up the video and answered the call.
“Brother Wei, what’s the matter?” The call was from He Wei.
“Yes, there are many more.” He Wei did not beat around the bush. “First love will be released in France on Christmas Day. Millers means that if you can’t make it in time to promote it, he won’t force you.
“But we also need to appeal to our compatriots in France, so you record a few promotional videos and send them to him. I’ve arranged the documents for the promotional spots they are going to. You can decide how to record it yourself.”
“Okay, I got it. I’ll think about it carefully,” Yun Xiangxiang agreed.
“The second thing is the release date of nine colors.” When He Wei said this, it was almost inaudible as he sighed. “We originally wanted to fight for the spring festival, but we haven’t won it yet.”
Although ‘nine colors’ was shot later than Wei Shanshan’s ‘Heavenly Fate’ , it finished shooting before ‘Heavenly Fate’ .
But now that the TV series ‘Heavenly Fate’ had finished broadcasting, the movie ‘nine colors’ had yet to be released. In fact, the company had always wanted to fight for the spring festival.
But now that the movie was booming, the spring festival was already the most popular season. Everyone was eyeing this fat piece of meat.
“They don’t think highly of ‘nine colors. ‘” Yun Xiangxiang about it, and his first reaction was this.
‘nine colors’ was the theme of the Republic of China, and it was a very unpopular theme. Even the television dramas of the Republic of China were unlikely to be popular, let alone the movie.
Take for example the last popular Republic of China movie, ‘holding the lantern, ‘ which only took 500 million at the box office, and it was already called a blockbuster.
One could imagine how unpopular this theme was. Therefore, it was a risk for ‘nine colors’ to occupy the best season of the year.
The reason why “Care” was able to be released during the spring festival was because it occupied the time slot.
Two years ago, there was almost no such thing as the spring festival slot. From that year to last year’s ferment, the ability of the spring festival slot to attract money attracted the attention of the industry. Now, the competition for the spring festival slot had reached an unprecedented height.
With the current economic development and the momentum of the film industry, Yun Xiangxiang felt that the competition for the slot slot slot would become more and more intense.
“The company has a weakness in the cinema and cinema chain,” He Wei said to Yun Xiangxiang.
In fact, two years ago, he had proposed to increase the investment in the cinema and cinema chain, but most of the shareholders rejected it.
They thought that it was best for the company to focus on the existing field. After all, there was still the age of stars eyeing them, and they were more optimistic about the earnings of TV dramas than movies.
Two years ago, there were very few movies that earned one billion at the box office. In these two years, their growth was really fast. One billion was no longer a difficult figure.
They had missed the opportunity. Now, their own movies could only suffer losses.
“My influence is still not enough.”
This was the first time Yun Xiangxiang realized that although he seemed to be doing well, in the industry, even with the title of the highest-grossing actress, he was still not fully recognized.
“Love” was her debut work. It did not have any appeal at all. It was purely a plot that hit the audience.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the success of “Love” came from the movie and had little to do with the lead actor.
Then there was “College Dream” , which was the most successful personal masterpiece of “College Dream” .
In fact, the content was really cold, and “Nine colors” might as well give way, but it exploded because “College dream” took the opportunity.
If it weren’t for Yun Xiangxiang’s explosive results in the college entrance exam that year, even Yun Xiangxiang and Han Jing knew that “College Dream” wouldn’t have succeeded.
Then came “Selfless justice,” which really tested Yun Xiangxiang’s appeal. Although the results weren’t bad, they weren’t good either.
Next came “Wang Mou.” Wang Mou was indeed very successful, but his success was partly due to Yun Xiangxiang, not because of Yun Xiangxiang.
The most important thing was that although Yun Xiangxiang had won a lot of awards, the only award that truly recognized one’s ability was the university film festival.
And this award was just like Yun Xiangxiang’s modest explanation. Many people thought that Yun Xiangxiang was able to win because of his home field.
It was inevitable for Yun Xiangxiang to be excellent, and it was also certain that he had a bright future. However, cinema was not an investment, but a reality.
Now that they had rejected Yun Xiangxiang to think, it could only mean that they were not optimistic about the movie and were not optimistic about Yun Xiangxiang to think’s influence.
It was not their problem. In the future, when Yun Xiangxiang to think reached a higher level, as long as there were still movies to be screened, it would still be a collaboration.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. The subject matter of ‘nine colors’ is a little risky, and there are quite a number of movies that are favored this year.” He Wei was worried that Yun Xiangxiang to think of her first cold reception would hurt her confidence.
Actually, if it weren’t for the fact that there were too many movies that wanted to compete for the spring festival, ‘nine colors’ wouldn’t have been rejected.
Or rather, with Yun Xiangxiang’s current appeal, if ‘nine colors’ didn’t have such a subject matter, even if there were still so much competition, it wouldn’t have been rejected.
This would result in such an awkward situation. Firstly, their company’s cinema line was short, secondly, Yun Xiangxiang’s personal influence wasn’t that great, and ‘nine colors’ was a big female lead movie. Thirdly, the subject matter of ‘nine colors’ was too unpopular.
Yun Xiangxiang smiled. “It doesn’t matter. I will work harder. One day, I will let them hear the words “Yun Xiangxiang” and ignore everything else. They will fight over it.”
“You are ambitious. I am also waiting for this day.” He Wei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was very pleased.
“If the spring festival is not good, when will it be released?” Yun Xiangxiang thought about it and returned to the main topic.
“There are two choices. One is New Year’s Day, and the other is Lantern Festival.” He Wei was here to discuss with Yun Xiangxiang.
“It’s already December, and there’s still a slot for us on New Year’s Day?” Yun Xiangxiang in surprise.
“When the news of the New Year release came out last month, without us, you would have been injured at that time, so I don’t plan to tell you for the time being. The company will set the release date for the Lantern Festival. After you finish filming ‘Flying Apsaras, ‘ We will arrange for the promotion.”
He Wei thought for a moment to explain the reason to Yun Xiangxiang. “But we were lucky. There was a movie set for the New Year’s festival. The main actor committed a crime and was removed from the film. It was easy for us to compete for this slot.”
