I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 590 "Painted Skin 2" is online!
While He Mei was arguing with Zhang Huan, Xu Wen also started editing "Everything is Fine".

Anyway, there is no substantial progress in the current quarrel, so Xu Wen decided to continue with the work at hand.

Now "Painted Skin 2" has not yet been released, and the audience's evaluation is still unknown.

As long as "Painted Skin 2" is released, we can know whether Zhang Huan's version of "Xiao Wei" is good or bad through the evaluation of the audience.

In Xu Wen's own words, didn't Zhang Huan always boast that the "Xiao Wei" he played was better than He Mei's?

Then let the audience test it out. If it's time for Waterloo, Xu Wen doesn't mind stepping on it a few times.

After all, he is not a saint.

The previous forbearance does not mean that he is afraid or calm down, but just waiting for the follow-up.

Now Zhang Huan is so full of words.

If the eyes are really hot by then, it is estimated that the audience's ridicule can make her drink a pot.

And even if the "Xiao Wei" played by Zhang Huan wins the house, Xu Wen is not afraid, he still has a trump card.

At that time, the copyright of "Painted Skin" was sold to Zhou Pingping.

There is a clause in the contract, that is, Xu Wen also has the right to use this copyright.

At that time, he can use this to check and balance Zhou Pingping.

Even if the copyright cannot be withdrawn, it is still possible to prohibit Zhang Huan from continuing to play "Xiao Wei".

Society has always paid attention to doing things to stay on the front line.

Since Zhang Huan didn't plan to stay on the line, Xu Wen naturally didn't have to abide by this rule.

Since she likes to stand out for Zhou Shi so much, let her stay with Zhou Shi.

Therefore, blindly arguing is not of much use other than talking about it.

It's better to be busy with work.

After all, it's not all smooth sailing for him now.

In front of Zhou Tuo, Xu Wen and Yang Shu joined forces to set him up. He certainly wouldn't be so relieved to watch "Everything is Good" go online.

So Xu Wen doesn't know what other tricks he has at the moment, but what is certain is that he definitely has a backup!
For this reason, Xu Wen also dealt with it very mentally.

Yang Shu also gave Xu Wen a lot of support, and transferred several editors from his company.

Helped edit "Everything is Good".

This also allowed the editing work of "Everything Is Fine" to progress very smoothly.

At the same time, Yang Shu also brought news to Xu Wen, that is, Penguin Films intends to purchase the online broadcasting rights of "Everything is Good".

We are currently discussing specific broadcast matters.

And on television.

Mango TV and Sujiang TV also have ideas for "Everything is Good".

This can't help but make Xu Wen sigh, these days, emotional dramas still sell well.

The editing was not finished, and both the platform and the TV series came to pre-order.

Unlike the costume dramas and period dramas I shot before, these platforms and TV stations were only willing to bid after filming and editing, and after watching a part of the finished film.

It seems that TV dramas with a more sense of substitution have a basis for ratings.

It's no wonder that those dramas about mother-in-law and mother-in-law and marriage-changing-family are the mainstream in the market.

Because the audience loves to watch it, the platform and TV station are naturally pushing it crazily.

A drama like this, even if it's not popular, at least it's not too bad. It's safe to have a foundation here.

Xu Wen also has a deep understanding of this.

The editing work of "Everything is Good" here has just started, and "Painted Skin 2" over there has also entered the final promotion period.

Various variety shows and interviews have become more frequent.

And after Wang Jiawei's reminder, Xu Wen also paid a little attention to the occasions where Zhou Pingping and Zhang Huan appeared at the same time.

It's okay if you don't pay attention to it, but if you pay attention a little bit, you will find a lot of clues.

In a variety show with several crew members collectively.

Zhou Pingping always stood next to Zhang Huan, and Zhou Pingping always sat next to Zhang Huan during the interview.

No matter how the seating chart of other actors changes, the two of them are as if they have taken root, and they have basically never sat across from each other.

And some variety shows only need to have game sessions.

At this time, the unusual relationship between the two became even more obvious.

Because as long as the stage of choosing an opponent is reached, the two will definitely choose each other.

If it's a pk link, I don't want to pk with others.

Looking at each other and smiling from time to time, Xu Wen also got goosebumps all over his body.

He had never thought about this aspect before, so he never paid attention to it.

Now that I have this idea in my mind, I feel tired of everything I look at.

If it was really because of Zhang Huan and Zhou Pingping that there was a gap between him, then Xu Wen had to admire Zhang Huan's methods.

After all, although Zhang Huan's 30 years old is not too old, he still looks a little older in front of the girls in their early 20s in the entertainment industry.

But just like this, she can still hold Zhou Pingping firmly.

Xu Wen wouldn't believe it if he didn't have any special skills.

Could it be that the Eiffel Tower turned upside down?
I don't know if any reporters have noticed the unusual relationship between the two of them. If there is a revelation at this time.

Not to mention the box office of "Painted Skin 2", it is estimated that the entertainment circle will be shaken.

After all, Zhou Pingping's marriage contract with his current wife is already a second marriage.

At this time, if it is reported that he has an affair with a female artist outside, it will definitely be a blow to his career.

It's just that such thoughts flashed in Xu Wen's mind.

Such methods are disgraceful, and there is no need to involve private life in the fair competition of movies.

Although the grievances with myself in the previous week were of a personal nature.

However, Zhou Shi's current situation also proved that using disgraceful means will bring retribution to him sooner or later.

Besides, Xu Wen wasn't Zhou Shi either, so he didn't intend to use this trick either.

But if someone else uses it, Xu Wen will not do anything good to stop it.

He can control himself, but he doesn't want to control others.

The intensive publicity work of "Painted Skin 2" has been going on for about a week.

The premiere was also over, and Xu Wen was not invited this time, not surprisingly.

It seems that Zhou Pingping is too lazy to do it out of face.

I don't know how much Zhou Pingping spent. The media who were invited to watch the premiere gave "Painted Skin 2" a score of about 8.5.

It is even higher than the comprehensive score of 1 given by the media at the premiere of "Painted Skin 8.2".

Generally speaking, the sequel is worse than the first episode, because the production of the sequel is because of the excellence of the first episode.

And the first one is excellent, if the sequel can't surpass this point, then the audience won't buy it.

But it is clear that Zhou Pingping is very confident in "Painted Skin 2" directed by himself.

Not only did it say that the box office of "Painted Skin 2" is definitely higher than that of "Painted Skin 1", but it also expressed its confidence to hit the three gold awards.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Wen felt embarrassed for Zhou Pingping.

You must know that the "Painted Skin" series was originally a purely commercial film.

The bulk of commercial films are the box office, and awards are basically as difficult as skyrocketing.

Generally speaking, if commercial films want to win the three gold medals, either the quality of the film is surprisingly high.

Either the connotation of the computer has a thought-provoking meaning.

Even a film like "Painted Skin 1" has not won three gold medals so far.

It was only nominated for best soundtrack and best screenwriter in the awards announced last year.

And it's the lowest voice.

Even Xu Wen didn't think "Painted Skin 1" would win an award, so he didn't go to the awards ceremony.

And the result did not meet Xu Wen's expectations, it was really nothing.

So even a movie like "Painted Skin 1" that made a lot of money only got two nominations.

Zhou Pingping has the confidence to go for the three gold medals.

I don't know if it's the courage Liang Jingru gave him.

However, Zhou Pingping's words attracted a lot of attention.

In the pre-sale box office lists of major movie theaters, "Painted Skin 2" is basically in the top two positions.

Moreover, the cinema is also very confident in "Painted Skin 2", and there are quite a lot of film schedules given.

At this time, basically everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.

There is publicity, there is momentum for public opinion, and there is heat.

It's just about to be released.

The day of the release came quickly.

On this day, Xu Wen was still directing the editors in the editing room to edit "Everything is Fine".

Zhang Min called in as soon as he called.

"Where are you? How can I send you a message without replying?"

"Oh, I was editing "Everything Is Good" in the editing room, and I didn't look at my phone much."

"Today is the release date of "Painted Skin 2". I bought a few tickets. Let's go and see it together. It's a spy on the enemy."

Xu Wen couldn't help but smile with a hint of evil in Zhang Min's words.

"I didn't even notice that "Painted Skin 2" was released today, okay, I'll drive here."

"Don't drive. I'll just arrange for the driver to go downstairs to pick you up at the company. Well, just go downstairs in 10 minutes."

After speaking, Zhang Min hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Xu Wen saw Zhang Min and the man beside her in the movie theater.

"Yo, now that you're a celebrity, you still have to wear a hat and a mask when you go out to the movies."

The first time he saw Xu Wen, Zhang Min couldn't help teasing Xu Wen.

Xu Wen also smiled and did not explain.

Before, he also thought that he could travel normally, after all, he was a director, not an artist.

Don't be so taboo.

But obviously he still underestimated the piercing eyes of passers-by.

Recognized him once when he was crossing the street, surrounded him for autographs.

As a result, he was reprimanded by the traffic police uncle.

For this reason, it was widely reported by some marketing accounts, saying that he deliberately disrupted traffic.

This caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.

So in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, he simply listed hats and masks as necessary for going out.

"Let me introduce you, this is my husband."

"Hello."

"Hi Director Xu, thank you for helping my wife with her work."

Zhang Min's husband is a very kind person.

Facing Xu Wen, he was also very humble and polite.

In Zhang Min's words, before she came out from the TV station.

Both of them are hard-working workers.

The salary is decent, but it's eaten up by mortgages, car payments, and kids going to school.

Basically, I don’t use it much and I have to continue to invest in making money.

And since he came out to work alone with Xu Wen, Zhang Min's income alone can support everyone, and it's more than enough.

Since then, her husband has also lived a life of soft food.

Maybe some men feel ashamed of being supported by their wives.

But her husband is a resilient person.

Life is not shabby!
So his husband also had a very happy life, taking care of the children every day, and freeing up some of his hobbies.

The relationship between husband and wife is more harmonious, and the family is more harmonious.

This is also a way of life.

Unlike him and Hu Xiaoqing.

Both of them are workaholics and both are very busy.

The money is getting more and more, but the time to meet is getting less and less.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Hu Xiaoqing for a long time, huh?

"Do you think I came out alone with you?"

At this moment, Zhang Min interrupted Xu Wen's thoughts with a smile.

Xu Wen was taken aback for a moment, and Zhang Min continued.

"Don't think about it. If I come out alone with you, I don't know what others will say. If a reporter or something comes, it will be even more difficult to explain."

"I didn't think about it at all. I mainly wanted to see how "Painted Skin 2" was shot."

Xu Wen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

Did Zhang Min, the co-author, bring him out to give her husband a sense of security?
Zhang Min's expression paused, and then he felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, don't stand here and talk, let's go, let's start soon."

Zhang Min greeted, and several people followed him in.

Sitting in the movie theater, Xu Wen took a special look at the flow of people in his scene.

The seats are basically two-thirds full.

It is also a good attendance rate.

As the lights dimmed, Xu Wen also restrained his thoughts and began to concentrate on watching the movie.

Two hours later, when Xu Wen walked out of the cinema, his face was filled with an indescribable expression.

Zhang Min held her husband's hand, walked out and asked.

"Xu Wen, what do you think?"

"Let's not talk about my opinion. I want to ask your husband's opinion. He is not from the film and television industry. I really want to know his opinion."

Xu Wen looked at Zhang Min's husband.

Zhang Min's husband paused and said.

"Well, how should I put it, if I had to choose, I probably wouldn't finish this movie."

"It seems that heroes see the same thing."

Xu Wen laughed out loud.

If you compare "Painted Skin" to a skyscraper.

Then "Painted Skin 1" is the foundation and facade of this building, and "Painted Skin 2" is the interior decoration.

The foundations are well established and the façade has attractive elements.

And when the audience walks into this skyscraper, they will find out why it is a non-mainstream style.

"Xiao Wei" in "Painted Skin 1" fell in love with "Wang Sheng".

When I realized that the love of a human is different from that of a demon.

Then "Painted Skin 2" can completely expand on this basis.

Or, like "Xiao Wei" in "Painted Skin 2" in the previous life, she changed from being in love with someone in the first film to wanting to become a human being.

You can even make a prequel, just say that "Xiao Wei" first fell in love with the demon.

Later, I found that Yao's love is very single and animalistic, so I started to pursue my lover.

This can also connect to the plot of the first part.

But in this "Painted Skin 2", Zhou Pingping insisted on going the same way.

"Xiao Wei" went back to her old job and fell in love with another man.

What she fell in love with was the reincarnation of "Wang Sheng", and this time "Pei Rong" was also reincarnated as a monster.

Neither of them would give in to the other on the way to compete for "Wang Sheng".

In the end, it was "Xiao Wei" who sacrificed the demon spirit that he had cultivated for thousands of years to rescue the two of them.

It's as if "Xiao Wei" is a tool man from beginning to end.

Her appearance is to make the relationship between "Wang Sheng" and "Pei Rong" more stable.

Her demon spirit is just like the one given for nothing, and she will take it out to save people.

Such a setting made Xu Wen quite speechless.

Even complaining about the plot made him not pay attention to "Xiao Wei" played by Zhang Huan.

Of course, it may also be the reason why Zhang Huan's performance this time was not brilliant.

In short, after reading it, Xu Wen was quite disappointed with Zhou Pingping.

He now understands why their company does not allow Zhou Pingping to make movies.

I know Zhou Pingping very well in terms of feelings.

In short, "Painted Skin 2" only scored 5 points from Xu Wen, and the next step is to look at the market's evaluation of this movie.
