The superstar is here

Chapter 764 I'm Not a Great Hero
Du Yanling, a graduate of the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, an alumnus of Li Qiuting, is a signed director of Boyu Film and Television.

Before entering Boyu Film and Television, Du Yanling was an unknown little director who had filmed commercials, MVs and micro movies.

Those works, like Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian who started out as commercials, did not cause any waves. Even compared with Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian back then, Du Yanling is more "well-known".

But there are not many audiences who are familiar with him.

However, since he was discovered by Li Qiuting and joined Boyu Film and Television to direct "Love Apartment", he has since emerged in the director circle and is well known by many audiences.

Recently, he has been troubled.

Boyu Film and Television is booming, so that there are more and more directors now. There are several graduates from the Beijing Film Director Department alone.

Although those people were still in the tempering stage, Du Yanling felt a lot of pressure.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the back waves beat the front waves to death on the beach.

Before, Du Yanling was leisurely, aiming at Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian.

However, the second part of "Love Apartment" has been aired. Needless to say, the ratings, although not as good as the "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" series, are not too far behind.

However, under such circumstances, the company came in several colleagues, he Alexander.

It is said that Mr. Chen's eyesight is very accurate, do all the people who come in have a hang-up?
But I don't have a hanger, what should I do?
Du Yanling was restless.

More people means more competition.

But don't let Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian fail to catch up, he was caught up by the younger brothers and sisters later, and he was slapped to death.

In order to maintain her status, Du Yanling went to Li Qiuting's place when she had nothing to do, and asked when the third part of "Love Apartment" would start the project.

He didn't dare to go to Chen Ziang's place.

According to his thinking, now only directors at the level of Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian can see Chen Ziang often, drink tea and chat with Chen Ziang about work.

Everyone can't find Chen Zi'ang, so Chen Zi'ang would do nothing every day, just meet customers.

Faced with Du Yanling's frequent requests to see her, Li Qiuting also had a headache.

The third part of "Love Apartment"?

May die.

The delay in starting is not because the company cannot spare funds or recruit staff.

It was Zhao Ya who had been preparing for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, and now she even ran away with Li Longji's crew, and went to filming, and there was no schedule at all.

Even if there is a schedule, with Zhao Yana's personality, she definitely doesn't want to continue filming the third part of "Love Apartment".

Making two films is already her limit, she doesn't want to rest on her laurels, she likes challenges.

In addition, the Wang Jun who played the magical role of Guan Gu in "Love Apartment" also has a bit of Zhao Ya's personality, begging Li Qiuting not to shoot anymore, please let him go.

The two important characters either strongly demanded to run away, or cried and begged to be let go. Chen Ziang refused to give the script for a long time. Li Qiuting felt that there might not be a third or fourth part.

So she didn't know how to tell Du Yanling.

This is very shocking.

After all, "Love Apartment" is a popular drama, so why not want to make money when starting a company?
But there are so many problems.

Artists are willful, but bosses are even more willful.

If it was another boss, he would have come out and yelled: Take good photos of everyone, no one is allowed to run away, whoever runs away is a bastard, it doesn't work, get out and make good money for me.

On this day, Du Yanling came to look for Li Qiuting again.

In Li Qiuting's office.

"Yanling, don't worry, I'm working on Mr. Chen's work. You know, he's focusing on movies now, and he basically doesn't care about TV dramas. He doesn't have so much time and energy." Li Qiuting comforted Du Yanling.

"That's it." Du Yanling was very disappointed. He also wanted to make a movie, but there were soldiers chasing after him. Regardless of whether there was a donkey or a horse next to him, he had to go up and run first.

Li Qiuting said again: "However, because Mr. Chen is busy now, I entrust you with an important task, how about it?"

"What task?" Du Yanling's eyes lit up, did she mean to work for Mr. Chen?

It is necessary to work for Mr. Chen.

Maybe it's done, and the third script of "Love Apartment" will come out.

Then Mr. Chen personally issued an order for Zhao Ya and Wang Jun to return.

Du Yanling understood Zhao Ya and Wang Jun's ambitions.

Both are very individual actors. After the food and clothing are settled, these two don't care about money at all, but only read scripts and challenges.

"Mr. Chen's movie, heck, he doesn't have time to promote it, but the crew can't be without a leader." Li Qiuting said with some melancholy.

"Ah?" Du Yanling's head thumped.

He thought of something, and was so excited that he almost couldn't breathe.

Li Qiuting could see the change in Du Yanling's expression, and said with a smile: "You may have guessed it, that's right, Mr. Chen wants you to be named as one of the directors, and take us out to promote and appear on the show."

After being excited, Du Yanling asked nervously, "This, sister Qiu Ting, can I do it?"

Li Qiuting waved her hand: "There are scripts for publicity and shows, so don't worry."

Du Yanling was still a little nervous, she could take anyone with her, but there was Li Qiuting inside.

Li Qiuting is not only his nobleman, but also one of his bosses.

Movie promotion has always been the director's biggest job, and the other actors are just foils.

That is to say, the leading role, actor and actress level, can barely keep pace with the director.

"That's right." Before Du Yanling finished digesting it, Li Qiuting threw out a major task: "Be mentally prepared, we don't need to arrange people by ourselves, there will definitely be reporters asking for box office forecasts. You will say..."

Du Yanling pricked up his ears, but when Li Qiuting said the number, his heart constricted severely.

"Start with one billion!" Li Qiuting said the number calmly.

Du Yanling collapsed.

What the hell, it really isn't a good task.

Is this the position to take the blame?

billion?

Even though Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian both entered the one billion box office club, they thought it was easy to get one billion box office.

In the entire Chinese film market, not counting foreign imports, it is already a great success for the Chinese local film market to produce a local film with a box office of one billion yuan a year.

In the movie market, 80.00% of movies are losing money.

Only 20.00% is not losing money or making money.

It's a big profit, less than [-]%.

Chen Ziang's film is said to have an investment of 7000 million. This is because Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting counted dividends and 0 remuneration, so they only spent such a small cost.

If Li Qiuting was invited to play the role according to the market price, she alone would not be able to escape the 2000 million salary.

7000 million investment, one billion votes, this is a huge profit.

And how many probabilities of this kind of big profit have been made throughout the ages?

"Uh, sister Qiu Ting, how about...?" Du Yanling couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to say, "Is it okay to brag like this", but in the end he didn't dare to say so.

Bie Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian both succeeded, and Mr. Chen also thinks he will succeed.

It's not that the people around you are academic masters, but you must also be academic masters.

There is a top student who was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but his deskmate couldn't even pass the second exam.

There are reporters from all walks of life when it comes to movie promotion, and there will definitely be questions like box office forecasts.

But usually many directors or actors will not answer directly, they will only say that of course they hope that the higher the better.

At the most, he said that he was confident that the box office would be better than the previous one, and he said how many or hundreds of millions of box office. The directors who answered this way were very rare, not one in a few years.

There is a director who was slapped in the face. It was predicted that there would be a box office of one billion yuan, but after the painting was released, it was less than [-] million yuan, and he was ashamed to throw it at his grandma's house.

A man needs a face, and a tree needs its bark.

"Very good, you don't have confidence in Mr. Chen?" Li Qiuting smiled.

In fact, Du Yanling didn't know that Chen Ziang originally asked Li Qiuting to answer this question.

In the end, well, this junior came to bother her every day, and happened to hit the gun. Li Qiuting felt a little sorry for herself if she didn't dump the blame on Du Yanling.

"Uh, no, I have confidence in Mr. Chen." Du Yanling said bravely.

How can you say that you don't have confidence in the big boss? Isn't that courting death? Do you still want to mess around?
"Mr. Chen is very busy. If you have nothing to do, don't go to him. If you have anything to do, you can come to me." Li Qiuting told Du Yanling, afraid that he would rush to ask Chen Ziang in a daze, do you really want to start with a billion box office?
Then she's screwed.

Chop first and play later, and cook the rice until it is cooked.

At this juncture, Li Qiuting didn't want Chen Ziang to know, he insisted on asking her what to do?
Although she has seen the finished product of this movie, she thinks that one billion should not be a big problem.

As long as the publicity and distribution are normal, the pressure is not too great.

But not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

She didn't want to take the risk.

If one billion starts to be thrown out, the entire movie circle must be boiling.

Although there is suspicion of hype, but the quality of the movie is not good, so it is a bit crazy to hype.

a few days later.

Sure enough, after Du Yanling, one of the named directors, helped Chen Ziang lead the crew to the press conference, a reporter immediately asked about the box office forecast.

"I think one billion should be fine, um, one billion starts." When Du Yanling said this, cold sweat broke out behind her back.

The scene of the press conference immediately boiled.

"Start with one billion?"

The reporters almost yelled.

This is big news.

Regardless of whether it is hype or not, it is big news for journalists and the media.

If it explodes, it will definitely cause an uproar on the Internet.

Li Kai and Wang Jun attended the press conference together.

Zhao Ya is not here, her role is not important, besides, she is also busy filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" with Li Longji, so she has no time.

Hearing Du Yanling's nonsense, Li Kai and Wang Jun opened their mouths.

What the hell.

The two of them didn't know that Du Yanling came with the task of starting with a billion.

"So fierce?" Li Kai is just an important character, not from Boyu Film and Television, let alone Li Qiuting's level, so he is not qualified to see the finished film.

He didn't know what the film would look like after it was edited.

With so many shots he took, he felt that it would be great if he could use one-third of them.

Wang Jun also had a dazed look on his face, I'm sorry, he really can't be judged by his appearance, why couldn't he see that Du Yanling, who was usually quite low-key before, was so arrogant at the press conference.

Li Kai and Wang Jun looked at Li Qiuting.

what is this?
Conference accident?

"Is it really starting with one billion?" A reporter stood up and asked himself.

Many reporters also pointed their cameras at Du Yanling, waiting for his confirmation.

"Yes, I have great confidence in this movie. I followed Director Chen from beginning to end, including post-production." Du Yanling affirmed.

Wang Jun and Li Kai wanted to vomit blood, it's a ghost from the beginning to the end, we never saw you on the set, okay?
It doesn't matter if he is famous, but he is still a good actor.

"Wow~"

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar, this was a blockbuster.

It really started with one billion, and the manuscript has to be written when I go back.

At this time.

"Director Du, did you have a drink before coming to the press conference?" Li Qiuting asked Du Yanling with a smile.

Du Yanling wanted to cry, big sister, why is there still an impromptu performance?

I'm really not an actor.

How to act?
"No, it's a kind of respect for reporters and colleagues." Du Yanling improvised, not knowing whether his performance was good or not, he secretly observed Li Qiuting's reaction.

"Well, then I hope Director Cheng Du's auspicious words will lead us to hit a billion box office." Li Qiuting laughed.

The press conference ended after one and a half hours in the form of reporters asking questions and the director and leading actors answering.

Afterwards, the Internet became lively, and it could even be said to blow up.

Because journalists write truthfully.

"Du Yanling, one of the directors of "I'm Not a Big Hero", predicts that its box office will start at one billion!"

""I'm Not a Big Hero" held a press conference, and the box office is predicted to be astonishing."

"..."

"I'm Not a Great Hero" is the name of Chen Ziang's movie.

Of course, it is a modified name.

He didn't use the name of the movie in his previous life.

"Fuck, really?"

The insiders were the first to hear the news.

A group of directors, actors, and filmmakers were surprised.

"Did Chen Ziang say that?"

"No, it was his assistant and one of the directors, Du Yanling, who said it."

"Who is Du Yanling?"

"Uh, the director of "Love Apartment". It's normal for no one in the industry to know him before, but now there aren't many people who don't know him, right?"

"I'm going, I haven't seen such a hyped movie for a long time."

"This kind of big talk, since there are still people who dare to say it."

"After "Love Apartment", this Du Yanling is a little swollen."

"Haha, does Chen Ziang know what Du Yanling said?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I didn't see Chen Ziang at the press conference."

"Sure enough, it's that Chen Ziang who is still very independent and doesn't even go to the press conference."

"It's too arrogant. It's even more arrogant than Du Yanling's one billion box office start."

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to the release of this movie."

"Look at the box office results. If it's less than [-] million yuan, and it's a blood loss, then all the jokes of this year and next year will be taken care of by him alone, haha"

"..."

People in the movie circle suddenly became interested, the movie circle hadn't been this lively for a long time.

At the beginning, Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian stood out as dark horses one by one, and the circle was not so lively.

Chen Ziang's movie was about to be released, and the press conference did not disappoint.

In the eyes of insiders, Chen Ziang is not a master who can settle down.

billion?

This prediction is really a bit crazy.

The big directors in the movie industry, the most famous ones, often have movies with a box office of less than [-] million.

One billion box office has always been a goal for great directors.

Even if I have a movie with a box office of more than one billion, or even 15 billion.

But making movies is actually not that different from gambling in nature.
