Perfect Superstar

Capital, Great Wall Guild Hall.

In the capital city where more than half of the domestic entertainment circles are gathered, the Great Wall Guild Hall is quite a special existence.

This clubhouse is considered to be an early private clubhouse in China, but it is basically closed to the public. It adopts an invitation membership system, and only those who are invited are eligible to become members inside, and most of the parties it invites are entertainment, The upper-class people in the media and literary circles, as well as celebrities and stars.

For the famous people in the Beijing entertainment circle, the membership of the Great Wall Clubhouse is the proof of identity, and the Great Wall Clubhouse is also an excellent place for them to socialize and socialize.

And the topics these people talk about are also inseparable from the current film and television entertainment.

"4.92 million..."

In a private room of the Great Wall Clubhouse, a group of people were drinking tea and chatting. Someone quickly mentioned the trilogy that was just released yesterday, and its daily box office results inevitably aroused everyone's interest.

This group of people includes the helm of a film company, the managing director of an entertainment agency, a popular movie star, a well-known freelance writer, and even an executive in the IT industry.

Lu Shengda, the general manager of Marriott Pictures, was one of them. When he heard the other party talking about the daily box office, his bushy eyebrows raised involuntarily, and a glint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

As an insider and a high-level figure, Lu Shengda certainly knew that it was officially released yesterday, but he really didn't want to pay attention to this movie.

Because as a martial arts film, it is too easy to remind him of his major failure a few months ago.

There is a project promoted by Lu Shengda with all his strength, a blockbuster domestic martial arts film, the production cost plus publicity investment is nearly 300 million yuan, the final box office barely exceeds 400 million yuan, basically hopeless to return the cost, which made him lose a lot in the circle Face.

Although relying on Marriott Cinemas, even if the loss is not much, the situation is much better than the two films of the same type released later, but it still poured cold water on the ambitious Lu Shengda.

The failure of this movie has caused his authority in Marriott Pictures to drop a lot, and he has not fully recovered until now. It is also a scar in his heart that cannot be touched.

However, no matter how reluctant Lu Shengda is, he can't stop others from discussing it. After all, when it comes to the current movie, there is absolutely no way to escape it. I don't know how many people in the industry are staring at it.

"Not even 5,000,000?"

The young man sitting next to Lu Shengda sneered and said: "Then Chen Fei Media can recover the cost, it is not bad, if I am Lu Chen, I will stop the filming of the next two films, otherwise the more films are made, the more compensation will be paid! "

This young man is the CEO of a new media company. He and Lu Shengda are family friends. The two parties have a deep cooperative relationship. He is very clear about Lu Shengda's thoughts at this moment.

For a domestic film, the daily box office of nearly 50 million is considered very good, but the investment is hundreds of millions, the publicity is tens of millions, plus the appeal of many superstars such as Lu Chen, such results can be said. It is not an exaggeration to fail.

At the beginning, the daily box office was more than 100 million, but then it fell off a cliff, not even half of it. It would be a strange thing to succeed!

Lu Shengda immediately felt a lot more at ease, thinking that what the other party said was very reasonable, they were all martial arts movies, and there were some examples, how could it be possible to reverse the market?

The daily box office of 4.92 million is the best proof!

Immediately someone echoed: "Yes, the opponent is an action blockbuster from Superstar Pictures. I think Lu Chen is going to have a big fight this time. I heard that his total budget for shooting the trilogy is 500 million, and it's huge." Part of the funds came from Chenfei Media."

The people here are basically insiders and well-informed people. They have a considerable understanding of the situation, so they naturally talk logically.

Lu Shengda sighed: "The subject of martial arts is really not good. Even I was fooled. Now that I think about it, I was too impulsive at that time. I thought I could create a new type of domestic film. Innovation is not so simple..."

He was exposing himself as ugly, but with a foil,

He laughed at himself without much pressure, and was even a little thankful - at least he didn't lose too much.

"Yeah yeah…"

Everyone nodded, talking about the current domestic movies, there are three main types of popular ones, youth idol movies, comedy movies and Ip derivative movies.

Martial arts films can also be included in the category of Ip derivative films. Several of the released films are adapted from popular martial arts films, but they must be new genres, which are relatively risky.

The road to innovation has never been easy. Even Hollywood will never try new types of themes easily, especially blockbuster movies with high investment.

Like the action blockbuster just released, it is completely a product of Hollywood's entertainment pipeline, and the most typical popcorn movie easily crushed at the box office.

Selected to be released on the National Day file, which is relatively less competitive, still cannot avoid the impact from Hollywood movies, and the failure is almost predictable.

"Nobody can succeed forever..."

The young CEO of New Media said: "Lu Chen's undefeated myth should be shattered. I just hope he doesn't lose too badly this time. After all, his talent is still outstanding."

Anyone can hear the schadenfreude in his tone, and those who know the inside story know that this new media company once wanted to cooperate with Chenfei Media, but was rejected by the latter, so... everyone understands.

But he also expressed the thoughts in many people's hearts, and several of them showed knowing smiles.

Yes, no one can succeed forever, and Lu Chen is no exception!

At this moment, someone asked: "Speaking of which, has anyone here seen this movie?"

There was a sudden silence in the private room, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

There are many small circles in the pan-entertainment circle, and their circle is different from the circle of Chen Fei Media, so no one has attended the screening, and they did not go to the cinema yesterday.

This was more or less embarrassing, but someone quickly changed the subject and the atmosphere returned to excitement.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you watch it or not. Could it be that this movie can turn the world upside down?

Lu Shengda didn't believe it, and neither did everyone.
