I have to teach the world a lesson.

Chapter 194 People can't be so shameless!
"That Midsummer".

All the filming is finished, and the post-production is in urgent production.

When filming, Ke Zhanchi was only excited.

My mind is full of all kinds of plots, and I vented my talents, emotions, and recklessness that have been held back for a long time in this movie.

Even if I stay up late for several days, I don't feel tired, as if my whole body has inexhaustible energy.

But when the movie is over...

Ke Zhanchi's whole person began to feel wrong.

After returning to Yanjing, he began to feel listless, loss of appetite, and he was inexplicably worried about gains and losses, and occasionally he would talk to the wall to himself.

Sometimes it's to encourage yourself...

Sometimes it's a little frustrating.

His girlfriend Jiang Xiaoyou felt that he had signs of schizophrenia, so she forced him to see a psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist prescribed him a bottle of anti-anxiety medicine without even looking at it, and sent him back after the prescription...

anxiety……

Jiang Xiaoyou seriously wanted to talk to Ke Zhanchi about what was going on with him.

But every time Ke Zhanchi had a piercing smile on his face, he kept saying that he was fine, he only said that he would feel empty in his heart if he suddenly stopped making movies, and he just said that he would just lie down for a few days, and he didn't need to eat these messy antibiotics. Anxiety medicine.

Having been with Ke Zhanchi for so many years...

Jiang Xiaoyou had never seen Ke Zhanchi in such a state of mind.

She became more worried.

But I also know that if I ask forcibly, I will definitely not be able to ask anything.

Ke Zhanchi is paranoid in some aspects, and paranoia is something engraved in his bones.

Wait until December [-]th.

Jiang Xiaoyou vaguely noticed something.

The main theme movie "1949" project officially launched today...

Ke Zhanchi, who should have joined the ranks of directors, did not wear a suit to participate in casting activities as he said a few months ago.

Instead, he lay in bed and slept until twelve o'clock at noon, but he still didn't get up.

Jiang Xiaoyou asked several times, afraid of wasting time, but vaguely heard Ke Zhanchi saying something vaguely.

In the afternoon, she secretly turned on the movie channel on the TV.

The movie channel is showing the casting of "1949".

The seat that Ke Zhanchi was supposed to take was taken by a younger director named Xu Shaohua.

perhaps……

[Starlight Future] lost in this directing dominance.

then……

Ke Zhanchi became an embarrassing victim!
In the evening...

Ke Zhanchi woke up faintly.

After waking up, I went to the company.

When he came back, there was a little light in his depressed eyes.

But when he picked up the small table and ran to the balcony to drink, he began to sigh again.

Jiang Xiaoyou saw it.

But she has nothing to do.

Apart from helping to cook three meals a day, taking care of Ke Zhanchi's daily life and accompanying her, she seems to have no role.

He didn't want to say anything to her.

In this state, wait until ten o'clock in the evening, when there is a knock on the door...

Only then did something change.

Zhang Sheng is here.

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

"Anyway, I'm just a youth-themed director who can't get on the stage..."

Outside the balcony.

Ke Zhanchi was drunk.

He looked at Zhang Sheng.

His eyes turned red.

When he finished filming "That Summer", he was full of confidence.

He fantasizes about the big hit of the movie, fantasizes about being among the ranks of first-class directors, and wants to get a foothold on the list, and make persistent efforts to make the next main theme movie "1949", which has become the focus of attention.

The main theme movie is not a commercial movie. Basically, it is a good one to make money.

But some movies don't measure up commercially.

Being shortlisted in the director group and participating in directing, even if you indirectly acquiesce in your status in this circle, it will make you more visible...

Ke Zhanchi had extremely high expectations for "1949". After filming "That Summer", he devoted himself to this movie.

but……

When he returned to the company, Xu Shengnan regretfully told him that [Starlight Future] had fought for it, but failed in the end.

A meeting was held with film-related leaders.

During the meeting, when the list was finalized, Ke Zhanchi encountered controversy and was eliminated.

Xu Shengnan didn't tell Ke Zhanchi what the controversy was, but Ke Zhanchi learned about the final review stage through some gossip. Some people thought that Ke Zhanchi started out making youth movies...

"1949" is a very serious movie with the main theme, if a youth-themed director is nominated for the director team...

that……

What kind of system?

Youth movie!

Is this thing on the table?
All the shortlisted directors had their opinions. After consideration, the relevant departments finally changed the identity of Ke Zhanchi to director Xu Shaohua.

Xu Shaohua...

Ke Zhanchi checked the director's information, and the more he checked, the more silent he became.
Apart from his graduation work and a literary novel, this director doesn't have any works under his banner at all, so it's obvious that he is a related household.

People are easy to fall for.

Especially seeing that takeoff is about to take off, and then it is suddenly killed by a sap.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Thinking of the various experiences and difficulties of these years, after struggling for more than half a year, I am still dangling at the starting point...

Finally, something went wrong with his mind.

I thought that no matter how good the filming of "That Summer" was, it was still considered an unpopular work in the eyes of those people...

No matter how powerful the box office is, can it break through [-] million?

"That Summer"...

The treatment in all aspects is not even as good as his Virgo "Youth in the Right Year".

The film's premiere is scheduled for January [-].

Five days before New Year's Eve.

Before the Spring Festival stalls, it is the starting point of the fight between dragons and tigers!

[Shengshi Entertainment] Overseas movies "White Shark" and "Star Lost" have been introduced, and local movies include "Wing Chun" directed by Cui Hao...

[Starlight Future] Although it has suffered heavy losses, it still has a basic set. Among the imported contract films, there are "Avatar", "Robot", and the local film "Racing Car" followed Cui Hao to the ring.

As for other film and television companies...

All of them crowded here, and there were three movies released with "That Summer" just a year ago!
Under such circumstances.

"That Summer" has almost lost its competitiveness!

More than 400 million investment?
Allocated to "That Summer", there are only hundreds of thousands of promotional expenses.

Apart from the original book fan group of "That Summer", what else is there?

The distribution of theaters is also very cheating!
There are a total of 730 mainstream theaters across the country, and they only managed to win 120 for "That Summer"...

It's a state where there are too many monks and too little porridge!
How do they make money?

It's not that [Starlight Future] doesn't pay much attention to this movie, but [Shengshi Entertainment] is taking advantage of [Starlight Future]'s weak period, and is pressing hard to grab various promotional positions. [Starlight Future] only Passive defense can only protect the interests of those blockbusters first...

"That Summer"...

It can only be said that it fends for itself.

During this time, the more Ke Zhanchi thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more anxious he felt.

Vaguely, it seems that this time the filming is at the stage of failure again.

"120! We only won 120 theaters. Even if these theaters lined up the screening halls of the film and all of them are full, the box office is only 30 yuan for one show, and the maximum is 120 million a day... But, is it possible that all the theaters are full? ?”

After Ke Zhanchi watched Zhang Sheng remain silent, he continued to sigh and settled a deal with Zhang Sheng.

The more you count, the more depressed you become...

After Zhang Sheng listened, his expression became serious: "Correct me, we have 120 eight regions in the world, not 120 movie theaters!"

After Ke Zhanchi heard Zhang Sheng say these self-deceiving words, he suddenly felt like laughing.

During this time...

Zhang Sheng has been deceiving himself and others.

What about global releases, what about 120 and eight regions around the world!
It's okay for friends to joke about this kind of thing, but it's really ridiculous to run out and talk nonsense.

The corners of Ke Zhanchi's mouth stiffened...

Finally smiled wryly: "Mr. Zhang, this joke is not funny at all."

"Director Ke, I thought your layout would be bigger, but I didn't expect that your layout is still so small... To be honest, I'm very disappointed!"

After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he sighed faintly.

"Cheating fans, is the pattern big?"

"When did we lie to movie fans?"

"Your global release, the whole world, isn't it China... Besides, there are a total of 120 movie theaters, and you said 120 eight regions. This number doesn't match. Where did the eight regions come from?"

"You forgot, we still have the premiere in Brazil, "That Summer" Brazil, there are eight regions!"

"Which eight? Don't tell me, you counted the premieres in several counties in Brazil, right? In my impression, we didn't expand..." Ke Zhanchi took a deep breath.

The bitterness on his face became more and more bitter, and Zhang Sheng felt like a king of lies who wanted to lead him into a pit!
Is it!

he……

Are you really that stupid?

"Director Ke, that's why I feel that your structure is getting smaller and smaller, and the structure needs to be opened up. Our movie premiered in Rio de Janeiro, the largest region in Brazil!"

"Rosinia slum?" When Ke Zhanchi heard this, he was on the verge of crying.

"Rosinia, not the slums of Rosinia..." Zhang Sheng corrected again: "We are in the city of Rosinia, there are eight open-top cinemas in eight districts! Eight open-top cinemas, plus 120 districts , Isn’t this 120 regions in the world? If there is an international, there will be an international, and if there is a region, there will be a region, how can you say that we are lying to them?”

"..."

Ke Zhanchi was shocked after hearing this.

He originally thought that "That Summer" had expanded to eight counties in Brazil, but he didn't expect...

That turned out to be eight open-top cinemas.

Special!

It sounds like a convertible movie theater.

To put it bluntly, isn't this an open-air cinema?

"Mr. Zhang, people can't, at least not like this..." Ke Zhanchi felt that his face was about to contort.

"Mr. Ke, it's time to cheer up, and you will go public with me tomorrow! You have to zoom in on the situation, don't be depressed all day long, hurry up and get gold, where's the time for depression?"

"I……"

"Okay, Miss You, help Director Ke tidy up his clothes. From tomorrow until the movie is released, I will help Director Ke to open up the layout..."
