Vol 2 Chapter 711: Spring Festival
Whenever he heard about Tan Yue's news, Qi Kai sometimes hesitated whether he should continue to regard Tan Yue as his life and death enemy.
He really hated Tan Yue, and he even hated the people from Bright Entertainment Company.
But so many encounters with Tan Yue told him that Tan Yue's position is too high now, and he seems to be no longer Tan Yue's opponent.
I hate to admit it, but I can't.
"No, although he is now a top public figure, I'm not helpless."
"It's just that it's really not suitable now. We have to wait for his glory to fade."
"Just watch this movie. If the box office of "The Garland Under the Mountain" is not good, Tan Yue's myth will be broken, and I will still have a chance."
Qi Kai thought to himself.
He really felt that if he just surrendered like this, he would be too useless in his heart. He didn't want to just admit defeat like this, he wanted to give it another go.
Although the top public figures are already among the top few in China Entertainment, Qi Kai feels that he is still not the kind of international superstar who influences several countries, and he has a chance.
The time has come to January, and the Spring Festival this year is February 6th.
There is only one month left before the traditional Chinese New Year in Huaguo.
And the Spring Festival must also be a holiday. Relatives and friends gather together and enjoy working for a year.
Watching movies is a good pastime, which is also the origin of the Spring Festival stalls. After decades of development, the Spring Festival stalls have become the largest movie market in Huaguo, attracting countless people from inside and outside the circle every year.
This year, there are two most discussed movies, one is Tan Yue's "Garland Under the Mountain", and the other is Shen Chenglin's "Moonfall".
"Wreath under the Mountain" appeared suddenly, and it was almost the Spring Festival, so it was revealed that it was going to be released during the Spring Festival. The well-known director Shen Chenglin's "Moonfall" was very popular from the very beginning, and it was scheduled to be released in this year's Spring Festival a few months ago.
Many fans of science fiction and Shen Chenglin have been looking forward to this movie for a long time.
Before, almost many people thought that this year's Spring Festival champion would be Shen Chenglin's "Moonfall".
It's just that Tan Yue suddenly killed him halfway.
With the brilliant achievements of "Wolf Warrior 2", now no one dares to underestimate Tan Yue. Although TV drama directors and film directors are both directors, they are two different fields. Of course, the gap is not that big.
But for the vast majority of directors who have transformed from TV series directors to filmmakers, almost all of their first few films will hit the street.
Because I am used to filming TV dramas, I am not used to the filming method of movies.
When Tan Yue was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", many people were not optimistic about Tan Yue, thinking that Tan Yue would follow the old path of most TV drama directors, at least he had to invest in a few movies before he could find the right path.
But no one thought that Tan Yue, who only made the first movie, would make the movie a hit. The box office performance of "Wolf Warrior 2" once entered the top box office of Huaguo movies.
So for Tan Yue's "A Garland Under the Mountain", most people are in a wait-and-see attitude.
If there is a movie in this year's Spring Festival that will pose a threat to Shen Chenglin's "Moonfall", then there is a high probability that it will be "The Garland Under the Mountain". " has a high probability of becoming the champion of this year's Spring Festival.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a dark horse movie suddenly popped up, and it was not like this happened in previous years.
Beijing, Guangmei Entertainment Company Building.
Great director Shen Chenglin's office.
Shen Chenglin sat behind the desk, crossed his fingers on the table, and looked at the computer in front of him solemnly.
On the computer, there is a report about "Greath under the Mountain".
As one of the top directors in the film industry, Shen Chenglin has always had confidence in himself. Even in the face of old guys like Sun Daohao and Zhang Baihao who have been in the film industry for decades, Shen Chenglin is not afraid at all. He has this arrogance.
Now facing Tan Yue, who came out halfway, Shen Chenglin still has confidence in his movie, but he still attaches great importance to Tan Yue.
The shadow of the tree of life.
Now Tan Yue's popularity, fame, and influence in China are already top-notch, and no one can ignore him.
Moreover, the achievements of Tan Yue's previous works were all heavy and fruitful.
"I thought that this year's Spring Festival would be a relief, but I didn't expect this Tan Yue to come out halfway."
"Tsk tsk, there are a lot more twists and turns in winning the championship easily than expected."
"But it doesn't matter. If you easily win the Spring Festival championship, people will think it has no gold content."
"In this case, Tan Yuelai can be used as a stepping stone."
"It's just how is his new movie going? This guy is too low-key. No news has been released. There are only a few promotional posters, and there are no shooting clips or sideshows."
"I hope the boat won't capsize in the gutter and fall on this young man."
Shen Chenglin shook his head.
Perhaps it was because this film was co-produced with the army, and Tan Yue paid great attention to confidentiality. From the beginning of filming "The Garland Under the Mountain" to the upcoming release, there was overwhelming publicity on the Internet, but there was only one poster, not even one promotional clip. No.
This made Shen Chenglin feel uncertain.
If you are not afraid of a strong opponent, you are afraid that you will not be able to figure out your opponent.
Shen Chenglin took a breath and thought to himself, "The score of "Wolf Warrior 2" is too high. Tan Yue's new movie is shrouded in the shadow of "Wolf Warrior 2". Compared with "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Garland Under the Mountain" has a high probability of being a bad movie."
This is not Shen Chenglin's illogical self-comfort, but an inherent law in the entertainment industry.
If a director makes a movie of a certain type popular, if the next one happens to be the same, there is a high probability that he will rush.
This happens too many times.
In the past, Shen Chenglin was also curious about this situation, and asked several directors who had this situation. In the end, even the director didn't know why it happened.
Those directors said that they obviously used the same method of filming, and the same plot was almost copied from the original popular movie to shoot, but the strange thing is like this, one hit, the box office is billions; , the box office failed to exceed 100 million.
Shen Chenglin didn't say that Tan Yue would be in this situation, but he did think so in his heart.
"Wolf Warrior 2" became a hit for a while, which made Tan Yue feel that he could do it, that he could make this type of movie well.
But actually, he can't.
Shen Chenglin slowly raised his hands and stretched.
"No matter how much you think about it now, it's useless to think about it. Wait, it will be clear when the time comes."
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the end of the year was approaching.
Many people who work and work in other places have also returned to their hometowns.
The students also have free time during the holidays.
On the streets of the small town and in milk tea shops, many figures appeared, which is hard to see in normal times.
Movies for the Spring Festival are released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Before the new year, many people start talking about the movies for the Spring Festival.
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, reservations are made to buy tickets for Spring Festival movies.
The film market has a strong taste of Spring Festival stalls.
"Damn it, it's so hard to get a ticket. I just went online, boy, there are no tickets right away. How many night owls are there squatting to grab tickets?"
"Yeah, a group of sixth children, my wife and I grabbed tickets for the first day of the new year together, but we only got three tickets. It was too difficult."
"Huh? Why did you and your wife **** three tickets? Well, I said, why didn't you get the tickets? It turned out that you and your wife were the sixth ones who snatched them away."
"It's not that there are no tickets. Except for "Moonfall" and "Garland Under the Mountain", there are still tickets for other movies."
"I just want to watch "Moonfall" and "Garland Under the Mountain". What's the point of other movies?"
"I don't care, but my girlfriend insists on watching these two movies, which makes me very embarrassed now."
"It's the same with me. My blind date is also pestering me to watch these two movies, and it has to be the first day of the new year. Damn, I don't know each other. Change to another one. It's really a face for her."
"Brother upstairs, it's not impossible. If a girl goes on a blind date with you, can't you make him a little bit tempered? It's fine to coax him, and you should persuade him, even on the second and third day of the new year."
There is a lot of hustle and bustle on the Internet, and there are many discussions about the Spring Festival movie.
Many netizens who did not buy "Moonfall" and "Wreath under the Mountain" are complaining.
Many netizens who grabbed tickets for these two movies posted screenshots of their successful purchases.
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year.
Many people drive to the cinema early in the morning. Although they go earlier, they can also go shopping.
Haizhou, a coffee shop in the urban area.
Shang Xiaoyan was sitting in front of a seat by the window, looking at the smiling couples outside the glass window, she couldn't help feeling sour.
They are all in pairs, only she has already graduated from college, and she doesn't even have a boyfriend yet.
Shang Xiaoyan is not ugly, even she used to be a class flower in the class, but she focused on her studies when she was in school, and she didn't like ordinary boys, she had a high vision, so slowly, she kept stay single.
"Xiaoyan."
Suddenly, a voice pulled Shang Xiaoyan back from her trance.
Shang Xiaoyan turned her head and saw a young man with a crew cut walking towards him with a smile.
The young man's name is Wang Chao, and he is Shang Xiaoyan's elementary school, junior high school, and high school classmates. Because they have been classmates for too long, the relationship between the two is also very good.
Every time Shang Xiaoyan goes back to her hometown, Wang Chao, who has stayed in a middle school in Haizhou's hometown as a math teacher, will invite Shang Xiaoyan to play together.
"Wang Chao, why are you so slow this time? I have been waiting for you for ten minutes." Shang Xiaoyan looked down at the time and complained to Wang Chao.
If it was an ordinary friend, Shang Xiaoyan would not say that, but the two have known each other for more than ten years, and Wang Chao can be said to be Shang Xiaoyan's boyfriend. Super will not be angry.
Sure enough, Wang Chao scratched his head, sat across from Shang Xiaoyan, and said, "When I came out, a neighbor came to our house and talked for a while, otherwise I would have arrived long ago."
Before the two came out, Wang Chao was waiting for Shang Xiaoyan.
Shang Xiaoyan smiled, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Wang Chao, you called me out on the first day of the new year. What's the fun? If there is no fun, I can't forgive you."
In fact, Shang Xiaoyan also knew something. Wang Chao liked her, and he had used the opportunity of getting drunk to show his intentions to her before, but Shang Xiaoyan declined them all.
It's okay to be friends, and it's okay to be good friends, but Shang Xiaoyan really doesn't want to be together.
One reason is because Shang Xiaoyan is working in the capital now, and Wang Chao has been admitted to her family's school and has a stable job. Shang Xiaoyan doesn't want to come back, and Wang Chao won't have a good job if he goes to the capital.
Of course, a more important reason is that Shang Xiaoyan did not call Wang Chao.
Wang Chao listened to Shang Xiaoyan's words, thought for a while, and said, "How about we go to the beach?"
Hearing Wang Chao's suggestion, Shang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes violently, unable to laugh or cry: "Mr. Wang Chao, you want to take me to the beach in such a cold day? Tell me, do you sincerely want me to catch a cold? You know I always Afraid of the cold, you still want to take me to the beach, with bad intentions."
Wang Chao giggled, a little embarrassed, he just said that suggestion casually.
Shang Xiaoyan rested her chin on her hands, turned her head to look at the couples outside, she was so envious.
At this moment, Wang Chao said, "Why don't we go to the movies?"
Shang Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows, still a little listless, and said, "Watch a movie? This is a good suggestion, but I don't like watching other movies, it's a waste of time and boring."
Wang Chao asked, "Which movie do you want to watch?"
Shang Xiaoyan said: "I want to watch "Moonfall", but as far as I ~ This sci-fi movie directed by Shen Chenglin is very popular, and the movie tickets for the first day of the new year have long been sold out. , Forget it, Id better go back to the capital to have a look.
After Shang Xiaoyan finished speaking, Wang Chao's face froze.
Wang Chao grinned and said, "Xiaoyan, do you want to watch "Garland Under the Mountain"? This movie is also very good, and the movie tickets are harder to get than "Moonfall", and the director of this show is Tan Yue, you should know about the "Wolf Warrior 2" he filmed before, it was so popular! The actors in this movie are all old actors, so it's worth watching!"
Shang Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "I don't want to watch it. I don't like military movies. They are too boring. I haven't even watched "Wolf Warrior 2"."
After finishing speaking, Shang Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows, looked at Wang Chao with some surprise, and asked in doubt: "Mr. Wang Chao, have you bought the ticket for "The Garland Under the Mountain"?"
Listening to Wang Chao's tone, Shang Xiaoyan seemed to be encouraging her to watch "The Garland Under the Mountain".
Shang Xiaoyan's scrutinizing eyes fell on Wang Chao, causing Wang Chao to show an embarrassed yet polite smile.
