Chapter 255: In a few days, the new king will ascend the throne

"Not only can you see darkness, you can also see light. Wow, that's a great point! Great!"

"Please."

The corners of Bai Youlou's mouth twitched wildly, and he really wanted to pin that woman Liu Manli to the ground and beat her up.

Although she was repeating the same things she said when she was showing off at Yenching University, saying them now, with a hint of sarcasm, made people feel so fucking immature.

It was just like someone reading out in public what you posted on your QQ space when you were a middle school student.
At that time, Bai Youlou didn't feel embarrassed when he was speaking, and neither did the audience.

It's mainly about the atmosphere.

But if you change the occasion or the location, the effect will be completely different.

Of course, Bai Youlou has taken "counterattacks" before, and Liu Manli has said such "disgusting" words before.

But even though Bai Youlou used the same trick, Liu Manli didn't even blink.

There was even a wave of ridicule.

"Tsk tsk, look at this, this is the difference between the directing department and the acting department. Although you have good acting skills, you haven't experienced systematic learning. If you study acting a little more seriously, you won't have this kind of embarrassment."

This is pure nonsense. Bai Youlou didn't feel embarrassed when he was demonstrating it to the actors on the crew.

In fact, this feeling is more similar to native language shyness.

In the field of cultural consumption, to put it simply, for certain works, the same content will feel awkward, too childish, and uncomfortable if spoken in the native language, but it will be much more comfortable if spoken in a foreign language.

A lot of anime and movies are like this.

In this regard, Bai Youlou and Liu Manli had a professional discussion.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Liu Manli felt something was wrong. "Why did we end up talking about this?"

Bai Youlou spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. Our movie queen is too professional. I gained a lot from it!"

"Fuck you~"

Liu Manli, who was not embarrassed just now, felt a little ashamed when Bai Youlou called her "Sister Movie Queen".

Give you a punch!
Yo~
You are rebelling!
Bai Youlou is not the kind of person who would suffer a loss. How could he not fight back when being beaten?
Take my stick!
Soon, the two expanded their discussion to topics such as the embarrassment of one's native language and the embarrassment of meeting acquaintances, and further expanded to acting courses such as liberating one's nature.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

In the hotel room, some suppressed yet cheerful sounds echoed on the ceiling.

Louder and louder.

Don't get me wrong, it's reasonable to liberate your nature and play the roles of various small animals.

Although Bai Youlou's main job is a director, his side job is also an actor. He has won the Cannes Best Actor Award, which is an official certificate.

As an independent actor, it is understandable that he learns some systematic acting knowledge.

Liu Manli is a very good teacher. In addition to her acting talent, she has also learned a lot of systematic acting knowledge!
If I wanted, I could join the film academy as an acting teacher tomorrow.

There is such a "teacher" who sets an example for Bai Youlou.

Logically speaking, he should have reaped a lot of rewards.

Unfortunately, his condition was not very good. When studying, the blood should flow to the brain, but it went in the opposite direction.

At this time, Bai Youlou had no brain left.

However, this has always been his style.

It feels good to have blood flowing into your body, and it feels good to curse people.

The battle of Yenching University, together with the 4 billion box office performance of "Dying to Survive", also topped the hot searches.

The mere topic that Bai Youlou cursed again was enough to attract a large number of onlookers.

After all, our Director Bai hasn’t fired a shot for a while, and everyone even misses him!

There are a small number of internet trolls who want to use this incident to create a negative image for Bai Youlou.

As for why it is a small amount, it is because there are not so many idiots in the entertainment industry.

If Ding Baiyoulou could be capable of such a thing, he would have been killed long ago.

Even with this small number of water army, it is estimated that they are just some random people who are doing something, and they are just trying to make a try regardless of whether there is any result or not.

It’s hard to say which company it is specifically, but it could be any film producer that was released in the same period as “Dying to Survive”.

I guess you're thinking, since I can't beat you in the film market, can't I disgust you a little?
Not disgusting.

This is the case.

Bai Youlou’s “personality” is too bizarre. To a certain extent, the public’s tolerance for him is extremely high!

Unless he suddenly appears on the legal channel one day, ordinary "small things" will not have any impact on him.

Just like this time.

"That's it? I thought Brother Lou didn't curse much, the intensity is too low! The quality needs to be improved."

"This is simply Bai Youlou's most uncivilized insult yet. He only said two dirty words. A prestigious institution like Yanjing University is really awesome. Look at what the kid has done to him. When has he ever insulted someone so unpleasantly?"

"Fighting! So cool! We need someone like Bai Youlou to deal with those public intellectuals! I think "Dying to Survive" is great, so sad. Those people just have bad intentions. If we really shoot it according to their ideas, it will definitely not pass the review."

"You're dancing with shackles on, how can you expect to be as light as a swallow? Some people just like to be the only two or three people sitting in a cinema, admiring themselves and making fun of the dark and cruel. Even if you make fun of the dark and cruel, you can't beat Bai Youlou. Isn't Whiplash cruel enough? I still like to watch it."

"Four billion votes, my goodness, Bai Youlou has really become a god this time. Can any big shot tell me how much money he can make?"

"He didn't invest in the movie alone, so the money was shared by a group of people. But it's definitely worth hundreds of millions."

"The lion's share should be shared by Bai Youlou and Liu Manli. The exact proportion between them is unclear. Bai Youlou should get the lion's share. He may earn more than 1 billion yuan. The movie hasn't even been released yet. And there are also subsequent copyright and other income, which are astronomical figures."

"One billion! One billion! You can't spend it all in a lifetime. No wonder Bai Youlou said he has no interest in money. Damn, money is interesting to him. These are ten small goals~"

"."

Regarding Bai Youlou's "swearing", it is basically a "daily routine" in the entertainment industry and cannot be elevated to any high level.

To put it bluntly, if you lose a fight with a psychopath and you were the one who started the fight, even if you call the police, they won't be able to help you.

This incident added some fun to everyone, and attention soon shifted to how much money Bai Youlou made.

Logically speaking, the box office revenue of a movie has nothing to do with the audience.

Even if the box office revenue increases, the money will not be shared with the audience.

But what can I say about this thing? Some of those people who play games like to pay attention to game revenue and so on.

Each of them can be called a spiritual shareholder and is given the title of "filial son".

Back to the movie box office, it may not be that exaggerated, but it is somewhat similar.

My mentality is probably similar to: The movie I like is so awesome, I’m proud of it.

Even though Bai Youlou didn't give them a penny, there was still a group of people waving flags and shouting slogans, including 5 billion or 6 billion.

Some people who are addicted to it will even swipe their cards more often and buy many more movie tickets.
This can also be considered as fan economy.

It is said that traffic stars engage in fan economy and make money in an ugly way.

But if this happened to many people, would they just feel like they were being taken advantage of? Great! Bai Youlou thought that since he didn’t take the initiative to take advantage of others, a few movie tickets didn’t cost much, so he could just consider them as a reward from fans.

Those who enjoy reading novels will also give rewards in addition to subscribing.

One reason.

He certainly wouldn't ask for it actively, but since someone gave it to him, he just took it and was done with it. There was no way he could return it.

The box office figure of 4 billion has established Bai Youlou as the number one box office in domestic film history.

In a few days, the new king will ascend the throne!
The famous director who originally ranked first in the box office of the movie was very generous to accept the interview of the reporter and congratulated Bai Youlou in advance.

He expressed that the young are formidable, and said some words that could be summarized as "Director Bai is awesome". Finally, he talked about how the current film market is getting better and better, and that our generation of filmmakers is enjoying the good times, blah blah blah.

Yes, yes, yes, the village is distributing gold bars, come back soon.

It's mainly to congratulate, even if it's a little jealous, Bai Youlou won't be so petty.

After this person spoke, seniors and bigwigs in the industry began to express their opinions and views one by one.

Most of them are talking about how the market is and how realistic movies are.

If nothing unexpected happens, many reality-themed film projects will be launched in the future.

If these people made movies to win awards, without mixing in too many outrageous personal opinions or the director's genuine humble opinions, then it would still be fun.

I’m afraid that some people will have to go through the review first, which will be a big hassle. Bai Youlou himself doesn’t want to make reality-themed movies anymore.

Moreover, many directors in the entertainment industry are not completely out of touch with the masses when it comes to the so-called reality, but having a vague understanding of it may be a good way to position themselves.

Otherwise, how could there be such jokes as deliverymen in first-tier cities renting high-end apartments and living a petty-bourgeois life?

Bai Youlou had watched a TV series before, in which there was even an outrageous plot where several girls worked hard and teamed up to buy a courtyard house.

What kind of job is this?

Even if I sell this thing, I won't make any money even if I grind it out.

Similar outrageous operations appear in many TV dramas and slightly less in movies, but they are really only a few.
-
Early August.

It has been a little over a month since the premiere of "Dying to Survive", and the box office has now reached 4.6 billion.

The 5 billion mark is just around the corner.

But the market is not something that can make people's wishes come true. Bai Youlou hopes that tomorrow he can break through the 5 billion mark and then rush towards 6 billion.

Unrealistic.

After being released for so long, the daily box office curve has been going down.

Every day is much less than the day before.

Of course, the growth rate of the movie box office was very fast at the beginning, almost beyond everyone's imagination.

After breaking 7 million in four hours on the first day of its release and breaking 8 million in 9 hours, it successively set box office records of breaking 10 million, million, million, and billion yuan in the fastest time.

During the most powerful period, box office change posters were updated almost once an hour, with each change being in billions.

Half a month after its release, the film’s screening schedule was still over 60%.

No other movie can get this kind of treatment, except for some super mainstream movies.

Such an achievement is certainly a phenomenal movie, and it has also become a cultural event with the participation of the entire nation.

The heat of July is a testament to this.

Oh yes, in fact, the film market in the first half of this year was very bleak. There was only one movie that slightly sparked a small wave of movie-watching, but unfortunately its reputation failed and it was weak in the later stages.

At this time, the sudden emergence of "Dying to Survive" almost absorbed the existing market and brought unprecedented vitality.

In every aspect, Bai Youlou got a great deal.

Oh yes, there is also a domestic film protection month.

Otherwise, how can we say that we have the best of time, place and people?

After counting all the favorable conditions, Bai Youlou realized belatedly that it would be strange if his movie didn't make over 4 billion.

It’s exactly the same treatment as “Wolf Warrior 2” in the previous life.

Before, everyone was discussing medical insurance, but now they are discussing another topic.

Can it represent the capacity of the Chinese film market?

No one can give an answer to this question for the time being.

But "Dying to Survive" can probably make people see where the box office ceiling of the domestic market is.

The significance of this movie to the industry is that it has created huge imagination for the consumption capacity of the entire film market!
In the past, a movie that grossed over 1 billion or 2 billion was considered a very high box office.

The previous one worth 4 billion was really the best of the best, which raised the expectations.

This is very important!

After "Dying to Survive", various investors will have greater confidence in the film market.

Of course, the most popular person is still Bai Youlou himself.

He shattered the original ceiling with his own hands and set a new record.

And this record is still being refreshed every day.

To tell you an outrageous thing, Bai Youlou got the delayed key again.

There is a high probability that "Dying to Survive" will continue to be released until National Day.

It will not be released until then.

Of course, the screening schedule is bound to decline. Even if Bai Youlou is the father of all the major cinema chains, it is impossible for him to always have such a high screening schedule.

In the end, the box office may be better than nothing.

But mosquito legs are also meat!

Bai Youlou himself couldn’t get the movie taken down because so many people were watching him.

I just hope that the box office of this movie will be higher and higher.

As the first person who can touch the 5 billion mark, it is like letting a wild horse run free. Where this horse will run to and when it will stop is no longer something Bai Youlou can decide.

It will take a few more days to climb!
Well, so Bai Youlou’s roadshow finally came to an end.

Although the roadshow has ended, the promotion is still going on.

In fact, spending money on publicity at this moment would be like losing money to gain publicity.

Fortunately, publicity is free nowadays.

I don’t know how many people want to pass the microphone to Bai Youlou, but they still have to queue up.

Looking at the pile of invitations from Lao Zhou, and then at the 15 kilograms of weight he had lost after more than a month of roadshows, Bai Youlou suddenly realized something.

Money is earned endless.
