Chapter 220 The movie is released
To be honest, Zhou Guowei is not optimistic about the movie made by Zhou Muyan. In Zhou Guowei's opinion, Zhou Muyan is just a scholarly spirit. A boy of eighteen or nineteen always feels that he can do everything and the works he shoots will definitely become a hit. However, Zhou Guowei, who is a veteran, knows that this work will most likely lose all his money.
Zhou Guowei knew what was about in the movie, but it was just a few young people talking about love there. Anyway, this was not attractive to Zhou Guowei.
The cost of being released in mainland China is too high. This not only includes money management, but also interest relations. Zhou Guowei did not involve these aspects before. Once he had a relationship with people in the circle, he might sell Zhou Guowei for face, but the so-called face must be paid back. So compared to these relationships, Zhou Guowei hopes that Zhou Muyan can be released in Xiangjiang and Baodao. Anyway, his son made movies just to make a name for himself. It is not difficult to find some relationships and spend some money in Xiangjiang.
The filming cost of this movie is 2 million. If you want to be released on Xiangjiang Baodao, you will need to spend 3 million yuan on the move, and the total investment is about 5 million yuan.
"Hehe!" Wen Qing painted lipstick in front of the desk and said with a smile: "You know that Yanyan's movie will lose money, so you still spend so much money to release him? It's better to invest in our manor with this money."
"You don't understand, this kid lives a very smooth life. Let him suffer a little and be good for his future development." Zhou Guowei said lightly.
"It's still developing? Five million, you don't feel sorry for money."
"It's not my money." Zhou Guowei doesn't care. It's indeed not his money. All of this money is Zhou Muyan's money. Zhou Muyan's full calculations are only about three million, and there is still a gap of two million.
Zhou Guowei meant that Wen Qing came forward to lend him the money. Didn’t he have real estate? He asked him to mortgage the property.
When Wen Qing heard Zhou Guowei's plan, he couldn't help but complain that Zhou Guowei was an old fox and that his child could use calculations so clearly, but Zhou Guowei was silent and silent.
He has always been this kind of personality, otherwise Zhou Muyan would not have lived so hard in high school. In high school, Zhou Guowei did not give Zhou's mother a penny. Although according to Zhou Guowei's words, Zhou's mother never asked him for it, in fact, he just hoped that Zhou Muyan's mother could take the initiative to surrender to him.
Zhou's mother is still very tough at this point. She never takes Zhou Guowei a penny no matter how hard she lives.
Zhou Muyan felt that it was good to borrow money. Anyway, he was confident in his works and was not afraid of losing money in the movie.
So, in May, the film ended, and it took two months to shoot and review it in Baodao and Xiangjiang for half a month. At this time, Zhou Muyan also spent three million to advertise in Xiangjiang and Baodao. Some bus stops on Baodao were covered with Zhou Muyan and Tang Wan wearing student outfits.
By the way, Zhou Muyan's timeline of choosing to make movies is also very good. In 2010, it happened that the movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan were in disguise. Some old actors gradually grew old, but the new generation of artists could not bear the banner of this. High school students and college students had the ability to consume, but youth films were blank.
At this time, Zhou Muyan, wearing a white shirt and Tang Wan, wearing a pleated skirt, appeared in the pictorial, which made some middle school students look up and see Zhou Muyan when they take the bus. Some girls couldn't help but say, "Wow, who is this boy? He looks so handsome!"
"Huh? This is a promotional film for the movie. Is there a new movie released recently?"
"It's super supreme! Why not go see Guzai's King of Gun King!"
"But they don't want to watch action movies!"
A group of middle school students were chatting and laughing there and boarding the bus. The three million yuan was paid for the purchase, and two million yuan was of advertising fees or some effect. At least Zhou Muyan had attracted the attention of those cute Taiwanese girls because of her handsome appearance. She was used to seeing the works of tough guys in Xiangjiang. Taiwanese girls prefer young new generation handsome guys like Zhou Muyan.
But some boys disagreed and complained that this boy looks as old as us, so he has any acting skills! It must be a bad movie, not even a star.
The release time of Hong Kong and Taiwan is set in June. At the same time, Zhou Muyan took Tang Wan and Xia Xiaoxiao to Xiangjiang for promotion, and even watched the premiere. Xiangjiang is really rich and in every place. After half a month of coming, he spent a little 100,000 yuan. Tang Wan and Xia Xiaoxiao are both more sensible girls and don’t shop much. Zhou Muyan forces them to shop and says they don’t save money for themselves.
But Xia Xiaoxiao and Tang Wan both knew that Zhou Muyan actually didn’t have much money on him and didn’t buy anything much. Zhou Muyan had no choice but to pick some clothes for them. Even so, they thought it was too expensive and asked Zhou Muyan to spend less money.
On the eve of the movie's launch, Zhou Muyan's Weibo fans had exceeded 300,000, because some time ago, some classmates from the school said that Zhou Muyan was really shooting a movie, and he also took many photos and posted them online.
This attracted a lot of attention.
Some small media even posted some articles to attract traffic, such as: Are college students actually making movies?
"A young writer from Nanyang University made a movie because he was dissatisfied with his work being remade"
Title articles like this have also attracted a lot of people to watch Zhou Muyan. Currently, Zhou Muyan’s Weibo is asking: “Which step has the movie been filmed?”
"Haha, can you still be released? Young people, do you really think the movie is what you want?"
"I'm waiting to go to the theater to watch your movie."
Among them, there are those who are looking forward to it, and those who are waiting to see jokes.
In June, Zhou Muyan posted a sorry short article saying that because the situation has changed, it can only be released in Hong Kong and Taiwan first. As soon as this was said, it immediately caused ridicule from many people and replied: "I just say it, do you think the movie can be released after it is made? I'm thinking too much. Do you want to find a small theater in Hong Kong and Taiwan to release it? "
"Oh, I guess you will never be able to release it in the mainland in your entire life."
At this time, Zhou Muyan had already taken Tang Wan and the others to the cinema in Xiangjiang. The theater movies in Xiangjiang were mature enough. Many people developed the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies. However, they did not seem to have any interest in the movies of a group of young people wearing school uniforms in the propaganda newspaper. They prefer to watch some police and gangster films or action films. Few people asked about this work directed by Zhou Muyan, and no one even bought tickets.
Zhou Muyan bought three tickets. After entering the screening hall, he found that the attendance rate was almost one-third of the time, and he looked at his dress and dressed up as students.
"Oh! What's so good about such a junk movie? If it weren't for the fact that the King of Gun King had no tickets, I wouldn't have watched such movies!"
"But I think the male lead is very handsome!"
"Tsk~ Is it as handsome as me?"
In the cinema, a young couple chatted there as if no one else. Most of the audiences who chose this work were young, some couples who went out to date, some students who watched the movies on weekends, and some people in their thirties were trying to kill time, but the tickets for the King of Guns of the same period were sold out, so they had to choose this work.
At this time, Tang Wan was actually more nervous than Zhou Muyan because she had no experience in filming, but Zhou Muyan wanted to let her be the heroine. Now that she heard people in the cinema discussing there, Tang Wan couldn't help but clench her fists. She always felt that if this movie failed, it must be because of herself.
She hugged Zhou Muyan's arm and hugged her whole body in Zhou Muyan's arms.
Zhou Muyan knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, believe me, after the movie is broadcast, you will definitely be popular on both sides of the Three Gorges."
"You will comfort me." Tang Wan muttered.
As we were talking, the screening room suddenly became dark, and then the big screen lighted up. Apart from the opening animation, the first picture was in a slightly messy small apartment with a white school uniform full of water pen marks hanging on the balcony.
A fresh music sounded.
Boys have already started yawning in the cinema, but girls like this fresh shooting technique.
Zhou Muyan appeared in the mirror, wearing a tie and leather shoes, with a height of 1.83 meters and a angular face.
At this time, the girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and said to the boy, "Hey, don't you think, this boy is really handsome, what's his name?"
"Tsk~How do I know?" the boy said impatiently.
Most boys in the cinema come to watch the movie with their girlfriends. In fact, they are not interested in this movie. They only think it is a movie with girls' money. However, as the movie goes deeper, they find that the rhythm of each movie seems to attract boys.
Starting from the protagonist's narration, I talked about NBA, slam dunk, and the ridiculous high school era, as well as the familiar best friend.
"Damn!"
Until the moment when Tang Wan was wearing a school uniform and long skirt came out, all the boys finally couldn't help but start watching movies seriously. I have to say that Zhou Muyan is still very good at taking pictures of Tang Wan's beauty. Only Zhou Muyan can take pictures of Tang Wan so beautifully. The camera is pulled away and shot from bottom to top. The moment Tang Wan was wearing a backpack and entering the classroom with a long skirt and uniform, the sun shone on her from behind.
Tang Wan smiled.
Every boy has his own white moonlight in high school, and Tang Wan's appearance really satisfy everyone's imagination of white moonlight.
The boys began to watch movies seriously and became excited.
But the girls were a little disdainful and said absent-mindedly that they were crazy.
Xia Xiaoxiao finally knew why Zhou Muyan wanted Tang Wan to be the starring actor, and she said that Tang Wan could act without acting skills.
"This is your high school age, right?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked in a muffled voice.
"What a joke, is I so low in high school?" Zhou Muyan chuckled.
In the movie, Zhou Muyan plays the protagonist, who is ignorant and ignorant. He reads comics and spoofs the teacher during class, but in short, he just doesn't study.
Tang Wan is a good student who only knows how to learn.
The teacher was so sorry for Zhou Muyan that in order to educate the male protagonist, he did not hesitate to assign the female protagonist to the male protagonist's role behind him, and instructed the female protagonist to supervise the male protagonist's study.
Such a miserable life of the male protagonist has officially begun.
In fact, it is not unreasonable that this movie will become popular. On the one hand, it is because of the gap in the film industry's youth area, and on the other hand, every clip of the movie is something that everyone experiences.
The class is funny, annoying, and the anxiety of parents about the future, as well as the ordinary family, and at this stage, countless students actually want to be ambitious, but basically they think about studying at night, forget everything during the day, and think about starting tomorrow.
In the movie, all these are fully displayed, with some funny plots, including some dirty jokes unique to adolescence. The part where the male protagonist works hard can make everyone substitute and study hard for the people they like.
The heroine supervises the hero and pokes the hero's back with her ballpoint pen every day as soon as class begins.
The male protagonist silently gave his homework to the female protagonist for examination.
Day after day, the male protagonist's grades are getting better and better, and the heart of the female protagonist is gradually getting closer.
This is completely the ideal state of an ordinary boy. He lives in a decadent life in his first and second year of high school. He worked hard for the heroine in his third year and finally got into his ideal university.
At this time, the boys in the cinema had completely applied. Fuck, this was so exciting. They were directly reaching the peak of their lives. Just as the audience was united and waiting to reach the peak of their lives with the male protagonist, the movie suddenly gave them a knife.
Damn, everyone knows that the male protagonist and the female protagonist will definitely be together, and the two of them have no setbacks at all, okay?
As a result, the male protagonist committed the second crime.
Is this a fucking idiot?
Be sure to prove yourself.
"Can you not be so naive!"
"Yes! I will keep chasing you!"
"Then it's over!"
"It's over!"
It rained heavily that night, and Tang Wan's role in the movie made people cry, making everyone in the cinema scold the male lead for being idiots. In fact, when filming this scene, Tang Wan really couldn't get the desired result.
In order to make Tang Wan feel sad, Zhou Muyan even raped Tang Wan. Tang Wan was not afraid of anything, just because Zhou Muyan was afraid of being raped by herself. At that time, Zhou Muyan said, can you shoot? Can you do this little thing well?
This seemingly light sentence is actually very hurtful. Now that I think about it, Tang Wan feels a little uncomfortable, so Tang Wan cried at that time, and she really cried.
In many scenes since then, it seems that Tang Wan is not in a high mood.
Seeing this scene, Tang Wan thought of Zhou Muyan's fierceness when she was so angry that she couldn't help but lie in Zhou Muyan's arms, pouted and said, "You said that day, if I can't take a good photo, you don't want me. I was really uncomfortable at that time."
Zhou Muyan hugged Tang Wan and kissed him again and again, coaxed him and said, "Didn't I tell you? It's for the sake of the movie effect, why do you still remember it?"
"I just remember, I will remember it for the rest of my life, a bad guy!" Tang Wan was angry as she thought, and couldn't help but want to bite Zhou Muyan.
Zhou Muyan lowered his head and said, "Come on, I'll bite you."
As he said that, Zhou Muyan kissed Tang Wan's little mouth, and then the two of them ignored Xia Xiaoxiao next to him and kissed him as if no one else was around.
Chapter completed!
