I became famous after I didn't grow tall

"how so?"

In an office at Chengguang headquarters, Chen Yuanhang no longer looked as deep and arrogant as before.

Wei Lan, a director who has only made his debut two years ago, has never even appeared in front of the public.

The low-budget science fiction movie back then was all based on his popularity. It can even be said that it was completely dependent on his "Star Wars" to become popular. It also allowed her to catch up with Teacher's Day, and the controlled Dongfeng created It achieved the unique box office legend two years ago.

It can be said that most of the popularity of "Star Wars" was taken away by Wei Lan. It was obviously their investment, but in the end Wei Lan took most of the dividends. At this time, Chen Yuanhang could not have imagined that "Star Wars" itself would also take the advantage. The bonus was that I didn’t have an interview for Starship Troopers on Wei’s film.

In Chen Yuanhang's view, although the films after Wei Lan are more novel, the scenes are not huge and they all have unique audiences. Generally speaking, they are not on the same level as "Star Wars" and cannot affect him. This return.

Who would have thought that Wei Lan would step up and produce a science fiction film with a large investment. This time it is not like the trick-taking method of the past, but a real head-on battle.

As a rival, Chen Yuanhang did not dare to slack off this time. He quietly watched "New World" on the day it was released. After watching it, he was deeply shocked and had hopes of success at the box office.

Although "New World" has a commercial component, in general, in Chen Yuanhang's view, the independent film content is still very strong. The depressive theme presented, the anti-routine, and the eighteen-year-old viewing restriction were originally all. It is a factor that hinders the box office.

Originally, Chen Yuanhang had a good idea, but according to the weekly box office statistics, he was slapped mercilessly by reality. The finale of "Star Wars" put things right, controversy defeated evil, and the scene was magnificent. It was definitely not inferior to the previous two films, and it was not. It is rated r18, but can be watched by young people over 15 years old. Under such circumstances, why was Wei Lan still successful at the box office?

What happened to the audience?

This is not just a question raised by Chen Yuanhang, but also by many film and television production companies.

The holographic film industry in this world has developed rapidly in recent years. After successful cases, commercial films have also formed some fixed industrial routines. The scripts can be as detailed as when to make the audience laugh and when to make the audience laugh. Cry, and in this case, a weird guy like Wei Lan appeared, breaking the market and redefining the market.

Not to mention the box office myth of "Country Teacher", the clothes worn by several heroines in the movie "The Queen", apart from having the money to buy genuine ones, the biggest source of consumption is a large number of imitation styles on shopping websites. It simply revitalized the garment factories that were about to close down.

The thriller and suspense-themed "Psychic Epidemic"-related peripherals are currently the hottest movie peripherals on the market. Countless viewers are eagerly awaiting the second part. There are dedicated discussion communities, and the topic continues to be popular.

The market is ever-changing, making investment elusive. You never know what the next trend will be.

"New World" is a movie with a depressing and profound meaning. With its unique world view, it has attracted the public's imagination about the future. The art style of cyberpunk has also aroused great popularity. Famous painters in the industry are in the movie. After it was released, almost everyone tried works with this style of painting.

Even because of the advancement of consciousness technology in this world, out-of-school students and scientific research parties have produced many future research ideas about consciousness connection technology due to this movie, and about the ethical issues involved in the civilian use of consciousness connection technology. It caused a lot of social discussion.

This kind of influence, both in terms of depth and breadth, "New World" completely beats "Star Wars". Because upon closer inspection, although Star Wars also has its own unique world view, in general, it is old wine in new bottles and continues the previous work. The audience has suffered a certain amount of aesthetic fatigue from the plot of "New World", so how can it compare with "New World", which is always new?

Chen Yuanhang is completely panicked now. "Star Wars" lost the box office in its first week. You can imagine what will happen next. The issue of repayment of investment is secondary. The point is that if he fails again this time, it will be his last chance. .

When he was going smoothly, he felt that Chengguang's position, where whoever was most effective would take the top position, was very suitable for him. But when he became the one who was ineffective, he suddenly discovered that the speed at which Chengguang was adding insult to injury was the real problem. horrible.

Especially after staying in Chengguang for the past two years, he also understood a lot of things. This company... is not as simple as it seems from the outside. If things get messed up, it will not be a matter of losing money or reputation, but it may be a matter of personal safety. worry……

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Yuanhang could no longer calm down. His eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes. This was what he had endured in the past two days:

"We, we... increase the amount of publicity and buy black drafts for "New World"! Then buy reviews and increase the ratings on Guangying.com!"

When Qiao Yu heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yuanhang's expression, his eyes were a bit contemptuous and a bit hurtful.

"If buying black press releases or boosting scores would work, the public relations department would have done it long ago. The data analysis department is professional. They have collected relevant data on the two movies and captured search discussions from various platforms. In terms of depth and breadth, the impact of "New World" is greater than that of Star Wars..."

Qiao Yu looked at Chen Yuanhang's face turning gray rapidly and said:

"This kind of influence radiates to many industries, not just the film industry. This is a phenomenal movie! Don't you understand what it represents?"

Chen Yuanhang's bloodless lower lip trembled a few times, and he remembered everything he once had in the Wei family.

He is the front director of the Wei family. Any movie he wants to make, Wei Mingjie, who is the producer, will unconditionally support him. He overcomes investment obstacles and often uses his own money to support him. Even if he does not make any money in the end, he will not What I will say is that the content is not in line with the market.

He was also grateful at first. He was grateful to Mr. Wei for adopting him and treating him like his own son. Wei Mingjie also regarded him as his brother... When did this change begin?

It was he who won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Director for "Under the Wind God". He became a great director in people's mouth. Other shareholders of the Wei family complimented him and wanted to privately invest in his movies. He gradually realized that his Weight', he felt that he was not relying on Wei, but Wei was relying on him.

Wei Mingjie invested in his own business when he was not famous and could not attract investment, just because he had discovered his potential stock early and wanted to make money. He had never experienced other unknown directors who wanted to make movies but could not attract investment. dilemma.

He does have a talent for making movies, but he believes that what he got to this point is entirely due to his talent.

It wasn't until Wei Lan, the true genius, appeared that gave Chen Yuanhang a painful blow.

In the Wei family, even if the movie Chen Yuanhang shot ended up losing money, Wei Mingjie and his son would still support him. They would give him a chance even if he failed. But now in Chengguang, a real pack of hungry wolves, he only Only by achieving great success can we feed them and prevent them from being devoured.

The "Star Wars (Part 2)" filmed in Chengguang was not considered a loss and had a small profit, but it did not meet the investment expectations. And the current "Star Wars (Part 2)" is analyzed from the first week's box office, even if it suffered from "New World" 》Pressure, but judging from the current first week data, it will not be a loss.

But if it's not a huge profit, it's equal to a loss. Due to the previous incident, this time just the box office success of "New World" is enough for Wei's side to make a fuss. Now Chengguang's stock price has begun to fall.

Every decimal point the stock price drops is rapidly shrinking the wealth of those shareholders. The money lost can no longer be compensated by the box office of "Star Wars".

Qiao Yu, a shareholder who originally supported Chen Yuanhang, had to pay the price for the loss of group interests. He had to find a scapegoat——

Naturally, this can only be Chen Yuanhang, who has no effect.

The "Starship Battleship" he brought from the Wei family did not bring the expected effect to Chengguang, and he was defeated by Wei Lan twice. The first time was a trick, but the second time was a head-on confrontation on the battlefield. Although Wei Lan has accumulated a lot of frustration in the past two years, Chen Yuanhang and Star Wars are not without fame. Although they suffered from the theme and theme, they were defeated by Wei Lan. This only shows that Chen Yuanhang is not the one suitable for them. The object of exaltation.

Everyone understands the principle that things can only come in threes.

"I understand, I won't mention it again about joining the shareholders' meeting." Chen Yuanhang frowned, looked deeply at Qiao Yu, and said to him half pleading and half threatening:

"After all, I am also the Best Director of the Golden Tripod Award. Director Zhang has completely retired. Currently, no other director in Chengguang has won this award. I only hope that I can be a director in Chengguang safely in the future. Director Qiao, I will also be quiet and won’t ask for things that don’t belong to me.”

Qiao Yu looked at him for a long time, then said slowly: "Of course, Director Chen, you are the most qualified director in Chengguang, but this time regarding the Star Wars box office issue, you may have to face some pressure from public opinion."

The implication is that Chen Yuanhang and "Star Wars" have to explain to investors the fall in stock prices. His current role for Cheng Guangwei is to increase his qualifications. Unless there are other circumstances in the future, don't think like before. The resources to obtain Chengguang were tilted, and he was already a complete abandonment.

After leaving Qiao Yu's office, Chen Yuanhang took out his mobile phone, opened the contact, and found the words Wei Mingjie in it.

His hand hovered over the call button, and after half a minute, he still didn't press it.

Finally, he put the phone back into his pocket.

This is his last pride.

…

When Chen Yuanhang became Chengguang's complete abandonment, Wei Lan, the winner of this sci-fi feast, stepped on the status of this veteran director and ascended to the throne of 'big director'.

The box office momentum of "New World" did not decrease at all in the second week. From all angles, the industry was deeply fermented, and the impact spread to everyone. The box office of this movie did not decrease but increased in the second week, reaching an even more astonishing 9.4 100 million!

"Jiyuekan" is a comprehensive news publication. Every time it appears on the cover, it is a very influential figure in the industry. The tasks it has published include scientists who made major discoveries, experts who proposed important bills, legendary movie stars, etc... …

In other words, when it is published in "Daily Monthly", it means that this object has made a very dazzling and eye-catching achievement in a certain field.

In the latest issue of Dai Monthly, there is a straight black and white panda cub.

The title is: ‘The youngest director, welcome to join the tens of billions club. ’

In the two years since Wei Lan's debut, the four movies have not only earned box office during the release period, but also received subsequent on-demand revenue from the holographic channel. Even including the share, it is a considerable amount of revenue. Although it is still close to tens of billions, it has been accumulated so far. However, "New World" has only been released for two weeks. Taking into account the box office expectations of "New World", Wei Lan's total box office revenue after the movie is released has steadily exceeded 10 billion.

In Wei's office on the top floor, Wei Mingjie and Wei Sijia were looking through this issue of Dai Monthly.

Wei Sijia's period as a member of the girl group is coming to an end. She has just participated in a variety show announcement under the Wei Family. After the filming, she went to the top floor to wait for Wei Mingjie to get off work, and went home with her father in the evening.

The inside page contains an interview with Wei Lan and a summary at the end.

"This science fiction feast, I would like to call it the transition of old and new directors. Wei Lan took the microphone from Director Chen with an absolute gesture and told everyone that now is the generation of young directors." ’

This interviewer seems to be a "Lanchui", and he doesn't spare any praise when he praises him.

Wei Mingjie couldn't help but shake his head after watching it, and complained to Wei Sijia: "The matchmaker is opening his mouth... In the past, when our Wei Films and Chengguang encountered each other, we suffered losses, and when Chengguang made profits, they also said that it was the replacement of the old with the new. It's just that We are old and Chengguang is new.”

Wei Sijia looked at her father's grin that reached the back of his head, and rolled her eyes speechlessly: "What they are saying now is good things about us."

"Hehe... It's true that these matchmakers are always like this." Wei Mingjie said with a smile.

While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary's voice sounded outside: "Mr. Wei, the Public Relations Department said that Minister Wang still insists on you..."

"Harm." Wei Mingjie shook his head and said to Wei Sijia: "Jiajia, just wait here for me to meet you. It shouldn't take long."

"Well, dad, let me play with my phone."

After Wei Mingjie left, Wei Sijia sat on the sofa and played with her mobile phone, waiting for him.

After a while, the phone suddenly rang somewhere on Wei Mingjie's desk.

Wei Sijia ignored it because she was afraid it was her father's work call. She couldn't answer it randomly. She could just answer her father's call when he came.

However, after the phone rang once, it kept ringing again. Wei Sijia couldn't stand it anymore. She walked to the table and saw that it was Wei Mingjie's personal phone ringing.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Wei Sijia frowned, and said that her father's phone number was divided into two, and it was not like he had many work acquaintances on private phone calls.

After the phone stopped ringing several times, it continued to ring. Wei Sijia thought about it and picked it up.

"Hello?" There was a male voice on the phone.

Wei Sijia: "Hello, my father is not here right now. Who are you? I'll tell him something later."

As a result, the other side of the phone was silent for a while, and then suddenly the voice became excited:

"Scarlett? Wei Sijia? I, I, I am your uncle, your biological uncle!"
