I'm not a big star

Chapter 513 What's the Use of Regret?

Li Xin and Zhou Xu were slapped in the face.

And this time he was beaten in the face a little bit badly.

"Those Flowers, Those Things" had a box office of 600 million on the first day, while "Youth Without Regrets" had a box office of only 150 million.

This is indeed very unfortunate news for Li Xin...

After switching from Yinghui Media to Yixing, Li Xin was ambitious and wanted to do something in the film industry. In fact, Li Xinpai devoted himself to the filming of "Youth Without Regrets", putting himself The knowledge learned in the college and the experience accumulated during the filming of "Futu" were all integrated into "Youth Without Regrets". A lot of painstaking efforts were made to gamble at the box office, but in the end...

The box office on the first day was only 150 million?

Are you kidding me?
Li Xin was stunned by the box office of "Youth Without Regrets".

"This time it was just an accident. There will be another chance tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Well, let's see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Xu patted Li Xin on the shoulder. Although Zhou Xu was comforting Li Xin, it was obvious that there was a hint of uncertainty in Zhou Xu's eyes. In fact, he himself didn't have much confidence that "Youth Without Regrets" still had something to offer. save……

The box office on the first day was only 150 million!

Only 150!

A completely bottom-of-the-line presence in recent movies...

Is there any help with this result?Not to mention competing with "Those Flowers, Those Things", the box office on the first day was not even a quarter of "Those Flowers, Those Things"...

Of course, Zhou Xu was not completely desperate, he stared at the next day's box office...

Perhaps, there is no miracle?
Wasn't the box office of the premiere of "Naihe Mountain" not very good before, and it only exploded in the next few days?
On June 6, after the baptism of Children's Day, the popularity of major theaters has not decreased but increased. Every day, countless movie fans line up to wait for the movie to start...

In May, "Machinery Demon" is still playing in major theaters in China. Although every show is full of people, the number of shows is gradually decreasing and replaced with "Insomnia" and "Those Flowers, Those Things"...

The box office results on June 6 will come out soon.

"Insomnia" 2000 million, "Those Flowers and Things" 700 million...

These two movies are still popular in China, and they are still making steady progress, and their popularity and reputation are always high, but "Youth Without Regrets"...

what?
100?

Yes, Zhou Xu and Li Xin felt dizzy after seeing the box office the next day and almost fainted.

The box office didn't even have 150 million the next day?Even shrinking directly to 100 million?

Li Xin felt that the situation was not right, and then quickly contacted the theater, but got the news that the two theaters, Brilliant and Luo Neng, gave way. Of course, it was not only "Those Flowers and Things" that gave way, but also the "Lion", which has a terrible reputation.

What does unification mean?
To put it bluntly, the two theaters felt that "No Regrets" and "Lion" really didn't have much potential to explode, so they "appropriately" transferred the film schedule to "Those Flowers, Those Things" and "Insomnia". "This kind of movie has a good box office reputation, so it can make money in a large sense.

Of course, if it weren't for contract restrictions, the two theaters, Luo Neng and Brilliant, planned to draw "Youth Without Regrets" ahead of schedule.

50 box office on the first day?

You are kidding!

If I keep playing it, won't I lose money?
The operation of Luo Neng and Huihuang made Li Xin vomit blood, and even called them on the same day to ask them why they did this!

Luo Neng and Brilliant's answers were straightforward.

"Sorry, we want to make money. We are not philanthropists. We only judge the quality of a movie based on its popularity, word of mouth, and box office. It's a pity..."

Li Xin was speechless for a while after hearing this sentence.

Not a philanthropist?
Want to make money?
Don't my movies make money?
These two things hurt Li Xin's heart, and then Li Xin closed his eyes silently...

Of course, Yixing's executives also discovered this problem, so Yixing's executives also called the executives of the two theaters at the same time.

The communication was not very pleasant. Neither of the two theaters, Luo Neng and Brilliant, would adjust their previous strategies. Instead, they still went their own way to arrange screens and shows for "Those Flowers, Those Things" and "Insomnia".

A few discerning people in Yixing already knew why Luo Neng and Huihuang had such an attitude.

The first is that these two movies are indeed very popular, and the box office is also terrible.

The second is Luo Neng and Yixing. Now the two theaters are basically on the side of Yinghui Media. Since "Naihe Mountain" and "Buddha" tasted the sweetness, the relationship between these two theaters and Yinghui Media has also changed. It's one level closer. On the other hand, look at yourself?Your box office of 150 million on the first day is too good, right?

Because Luo Neng and Brilliant reduced the number of films scheduled, the box office of "Youth Without Regrets" fell below 100 million on the third day, and it hit new lows every day, and finally survived until the seventh day and took a 50. After the box office of [-], draw in advance...

ended?
Yes, "Youth Without Regrets" hit the market. The total box office of the seven days has just broken 500 million. It is not as fierce as the one-day box office of "Those Flowers, Those Things" in seven days...

Damn, playing with wool, I lost money and went to grandma's house.

....................................

The Internet is actually holding a wait-and-see attitude towards this box office war.

The suspense at the box office of these movies in China is not very big, and there are no box office dark horses in the movies released in June. "Insomnia" has always been the number one, and "Those Flowers and Things" has always maintained No.6...

But Luo Da, the director of "Those Flowers, Those Things", is not Chu Qing.

Chu Qing's words, maybe he doesn't care about Li Xin, just getting a slap in the face at the box office is enough, but Luo Da is quite unhappy with Li Xin's betrayal of Yinghui Media and his attitude of challenging him on the Internet. Now, He felt that it was time for him to beat the dog in the water.

On the second day after the movie "Youth Without Regrets" was released, Luo Da specifically @Li Xin's Weibo and posted a paragraph.

"Half a year ago, you betrayed Yinghui Media and clamored for me, thinking you were great. Half a year later, I asked you, Mr. Li Xin, how much is your 700 million box office loss compared with your tens of millions of investment?" What about it? Hehe, if there are more directors like you in Yixing, then Yixing may collapse." Luo Da did not hide his sarcasm, not only did he not hide it, but even made a very blatant sarcasm.

"Young people should not be too arrogant and keep a low profile if they have a little achievement. Do you know that you have to keep a low profile?"

"Leave a line in life, so we can meet again in the future!" Facing Luo Da's @, Li Xin was furious, but in the end Li Xin suppressed his anger and replied.

"Sorry, see you in the future? I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you in this Jianghu in the future. If you don't believe me, you can read your comments on the Internet. Also, you, Yixing, can still support you to make a second movie Is it?" Luo Da was not angry but happy when faced with Li Xin's words.

At this time, do you want to stage a script in which you are ridiculed and then rise up and slap your face?
Pretend?
I'm sorry, but pretense also requires capital pretense.

If Qingzi, it is true that he can act unscrupulously on the Internet, and even brag that there are fans cheering for him, but you Li Xin?
Sorry, you don't.

When "Youth Without Regrets" hit the street, the Internet was full of criticisms of Li Xin, "ungrateful white-eyed wolf", "three-surname house slave", "traitor and spy", "proud and arrogant to not know who he is" and many other things. And wave after wave...

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Netizens reposted Weibo one after another, and @李辛 one after another...

For a while, Li Xinhuo had to do it, and his fame on the Internet even caught up with Chu Qing...

On the evening of June 6, Li Xin was so angry that he turned off Weibo and lay down on the bed.

However, he suffered from insomnia. All night, his mind was filled with the exuberance he had when he changed jobs and the various scoldings on the Internet after his grades fluttered...

In essence, he is just a young man who has not graduated from university not long ago...

He admitted that he had indeed been lost in the honor that should not have belonged to him.

"Brother Qing, I was wrong, I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

However, it is useless for Li Xin to regret it now.

There is no medicine for regret in this world.

Everything is too late.

In the early morning, Zhou Xu called Li Xin.

Li Xin answered the phone.

"You should rest for a while."

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"After the company meeting decided to let you rest for a while..."

"How long was that?"

"do not know……"

"Then do I have a chance to make a movie?" Li Xin panicked.

"To tell you the truth, "Youth Without Regrets" is too popular, and your reputation on the Internet is too bad. The company decided to hide you for the time being. You should stop thinking about making movies for a short time. Wait until the limelight passes." .”

"When will the limelight pass?" Li Xin's eyes widened.

"I do not know."

"..."

At this moment, he felt what despair is...

After hanging up the phone, Li Xin was a little out of his mind.

Yixing is very realistic.

It is indeed very realistic, you are valuable, and when you are very popular, they will only dig you when they can use you.

They did promise to give you a chance and directed you a big movie with an investment of tens of millions.

But what about your final grades?
Only 700 million box office?
You're not joking like that.

When the sun rose, Li Xin stared at the ceiling, feeling a little silly.

He could have gone to glory, and he was very close to it...

but……

One mistake becomes eternal hatred...

....................................

"Insomnia" has become a hit no matter in China or Europe and the United States.

Chu Qing began to be gradually recognized by movie fans in Europe and America. At the same time, Chu Qing also began to have her own position in Hollywood.

Yes, at least some big directors in Hollywood started to try to get in touch with Chu Qing in private, hoping that Chu Qing can make persistent efforts to take advantage of the heat to make a few more movies, and then promote it by the way, and become the emperor of Hollywood.

Ticket investment?no problem.

script?No problem, you can change it however you want.

condition? OK, as long as you can act, then the conditions are easy to talk about.

In short, they are very warm and sincere.

For these invitations, Chu Qing always showed a very sincere and enthusiastic smile, and then politely declined.

nonsense!

He also has a movie "Night Descent" next. After the filming of "Night Descent", he has to go to Huaxia to deal with some things.

During the time he came to Hollywood, he felt that he had been working all the time, and he was a little bit mentally exhausted.

He wants to relax.

Yes, relax, salty fish.

By the way, he wants to go home and have a look.

Yes, he was homesick.
