Chapter 176 Follow the trend [Seeking a monthly ticket]

"At the end of the sky, the corner of the earth, half of my friends fall, a pot of turbid wine will be over, and the sunset will be outside the mountains."

In the train where Baima pulled, the three of them were singing their heart's content, especially Ma Bond, played by Ge You, looked energetic, wearing a white dress, looking like a romantic and elegant man.

The three of them are the upcoming county magistrate Ma Bonde, the county magistrate’s wife and the master Tang. The three of them have been eating hot pot and singing, preparing to become county magistrates, and their future lives are bright.

"Okay! OK!"

Master Tang put the chopsticks in his hand on his mouth and bit them. His hands kept applauding, looking a sense of indescribable funny, but it was obvious that Ma Bond had become used to such flattery, so he began to joke with his master.

"Master Tang, is it delicious or nice?"

"It sounds nice, it tastes nice, it's good, it's good."

The master seemed extremely smooth and was simply aware of the things like flattery. The rainbow fart was released continuously, making Ma Bond laugh happily.

"Hahahaha, I, Ma, traveling around the world, rely on being able to be literary and martial, and being unique. Not only eating, drinking, having fun, but also having snow, moon, and flowers."

"County Ma's demeanor is just like, big ~ the wind blows and clouds fly!"

"fart!"

Facing the master's flattery, the county magistrate's wife couldn't help but laugh and scold. Ma Bond, who was beside him, seemed to have no understanding of the multiple meanings in the county magistrate's wife's words, so she vaguely said.

"Liu Bang is a villain!"

"Strive to drive the mountains and the spirit is vast!"

"fart!"

The county magistrate's wife still looked smirking, and she was not embarrassed by the teacher. Ma Bonde, who was beside him, also began to joke with him.

"If you shoot me a horse, you have to pass the wife's stance first, write a poem, write a poem."

"There must be wind and meat."

“There is hot pot and the fog.”

"You have to have a beautiful daughter, you have a donkey."

After saying his request for this poem, the three of them laughed, not paying any attention. On the mountain not far away, there was a group of bandits staring at them.

The camera quickly turned to the mountain, and saw gunfire sounds one after another under the rapid movement of a pair of hands, and then the picture changed, and Zhang Mazi, played by Jiang Wen, appeared.

He put away his gun, put his hands on his chest, and looked at the train below the mountain. An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. Liuzi, who was beside him, looked at Zhang Mazi beside him in confusion.

"Not hit?"

"Let the bullets fly for a while."

Before Zhang Mazi finished speaking, the connecting rope between the white horse and the train broke down. The bandits on the mountain moved and began to hunt the train below, and the atmosphere became excited.

After the train overturned, the people in the car died, leaving only Ma Bond and the county magistrate's wife who fell into the water survived, but the bandits did not find any money, so they were preparing to settle the accounts with survivors.

So Ma Bonde pretended to be a master and wanted to survive, so he ruthlessly said that all the money was used to buy officials, and he could only be rich when he arrived in Echeng. When Zhang Mazi heard that no one knew what the county magistrate looked like, he came up with a plan and wanted to take the county magistrate with his master and his wife to take office as Echeng.

"Card! All departments have some rest."

The first plot of the film ended here. With Xu Wenruo's order, the staff began to take advantage of the rest time to rearrange the scene.

Ge You changed into dry clothes and was feeling uncomfortable just now in the water. Jiang Wen, who had finished the show, did not go to rest, but came to Xu Wenruo carelessly.

"Director Xu, how did I act just now? Is there any advice?"

If he didn't know, he thought he was here to provoke Xu Wenruo. Ge You, who had changed his clothes, continued to come to the two of them to watch the fun, as if he was very concerned about Xu Wenruo and Jiang Wen.

"It's very good, and I'm very gangster-like, but my role with Teacher Ge is very interesting."

Jiang Wen looked back at Ge You, then looked at Xu Wenruo with a hint of surprise.

"I may be more suitable for this role."

Ge You bowed to Xu Wenruo with an extremely modest expression. He never expected that he was just watching the fun, and the topic could be transferred to him.

"The master is really good, I also like the master very much. Director Xu, do you think we act like this?"

Jiang Wen's tone still seemed a little aggressive, but Xu Wenruo still looked indifferent. He looked at Jiang Wen with a blank expression and suddenly smiled slightly.

"It's right, just act like this, no problem."

Jiang Wen stared at Xu Wenruo. When he heard his answer, he saw the smile on Xu Wenruo's face, and then a smile appeared on Jiang Wen's face.

Ge You, who was beside him, had a thoughtful look on his face, but he still looked calm. After changing his outfit, the crew began to record the next scene, but this time he would go to the newly built Goose City in the film and television base.

Just when Xu Wenruo was concentrating on filming movies, many comedy movies were released during this period. Some of them were indeed good. The creative team carefully produced jokes, and they made good shots and made a lot of money at the box office.

However, most companies do take pictures of themselves. They want to make money from comedy movies but they don’t have the heart to make movies. They thought that just like before, they would invite some traffic stars and copy two jokes from the Internet to make a good movie.

All companies with this idea lost all their money. In October, countless comedy movies emerged, but only two or three of them could come into view. Most of them were bad movies and were not worth watching.

Among them are the movies shot by Xingxun Group, which are highly anticipated for this movie. As a film and television company, Xingxun Pictures has had experience in making movies. In addition, the success of the past two years has made many people's mentality fade, so they have also created a comedy movie.

According to Xu Wenruo's creative ideas, they learned from "A Chinese Odyssey" and focused on Journey to the West. They modified the clips of the Three-Destiny White Bone Demon adapted by Xu Wenruo on a variety show, and added some jokes to make a movie.

This movie, called "The Legend of the Bone Demon", even has to be named "The Legend of the World" for the promotional poster, in order to gain some popularity in publicity, and cheat on the sequel to "The Legend of the World".

Of course they did not mention Xu Wenruo's name in it, which was considered an obvious infringement, but for how to play the edge, these publicity departments are professional.

Many marketing accounts and self-media that received public relations fees from Xingxun Pictures immediately published articles, first praising Xu Wenruo's "A Chinese Odyssey" and tricking the audience into it. Then, after a change of voice, they began to introduce the movie "A Chinese Odyssey". Many uninformed viewers thought that this movie was a sequel to "A Chinese Odyssey".

After all, Xingxun Pictures, as the company that was responsible for promotion and distribution, had their company icons hanging on the movie posters. So many people were going to go to the cinema after hearing about this movie. What the audience wanted to see was the follow-up story of Supreme Bao and Bai Jingjing, but when they arrived at the cinema, they found that this was not the case at all.

There is no story about Supreme Treasure and Bai Jingjing, only Sun Wukong and the White Bone Spirit. Even Tang Seng joined in. The master and apprentice turned against each other and became enemies and the love rivals. The three fights against the White Bone Spirit turned into love triangles, which made the audience entering the cinema very light.

This bad movie instantly caused heated discussions on the Internet, and Xingxun Pictures was also criticized by many viewers. Their company had a good reputation before. Before they cooperated with Xu Wenruo, although they invested in and shot some low-cost movies, although the quality was uneven, they were still very attentive.

After cooperating with Xu Wenruo, Xingxun Pictures has also become a well-known company in the industry. Many viewers also think that this is a very conscientious company, but they didn't expect that they were fooled this time and were deceived into the cinema and fed a piece of shit.

"Damn, my eyes, what kind of movie is this? I was completely broken when I saw it."

"Brothers who haven't watched it, don't join in the fun. This is an epic movie. It's not a sequel to "A Chinese Odyssey" at all. It's a famous trick to cheat money."

"Starxun Pictures, right? I remember you. I thought this was Xu Wenruo's latest movie, but I didn't expect that when I went in, I had nothing to do with him. That's all, but the key is that the quality of the movie is so bad that it's like a piece of shit, and I'm going to vomit."

"Friendly reminder that in recent months, you must choose carefully when you see any comedy movie. There are too many bad movies."

"These brainless companies really don't have any taste. Seeing Xu Wenruo make a lot of money from comedy movies, they flocked in. But if you want to make money, the quality of the film must be passed, but what kind of thing is it filmed, and you dare to take it out and release it?"

"It's so bad. I've watched three movies this month, and all three of them are bad movies. Do you know how I'm living this month? I miss Xu Wenruo so much now."

"Indeed, many people thought that comedy became popular, so they chose to follow up, but what they didn't expect was Xu Wenruo, his movies were the real comedy, and I would like to call it the king of comedy."

Xu Wenruo never expected that just one month later, because there were so many bad movies released recently, the audience began to miss him. As expected, this world is too crazy, and rats are all used as bridesmaids for cats.

Xingxun Pictures was helpless about the insulting voices on the Internet. They were already full of confidence in this movie, thinking that they were about to make a lot of money, and some even spoke out loudly that they wanted to break Xu Wenruo's box office record. The box office record of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was just that.

But ideals are full and reality is skinny. Their dreams have already sunk before they even set sail. A week after the show, the box office of "The Legend of the White Bone Demon" was only 500 million, of which more than 300 million were the box offices of the previous two days. Many viewers were fooled by them into the cinema and contributed their movie tickets in vain.

According to box office share, they can also receive nearly 200 million yuan in revenue, and the cost of this movie is less than 100 million yuan. Logically speaking, they have made some money, but no one in Xingxun Pictures can laugh.

I made a little money, but the reputation of the entire company collapsed. You should know that for a company as big as Xingxun Group, reputation is far more important than profit. One or two billion yuan of funds is a drop in the bucket for the entire behemoth of Xingxun Group, but reputation is extremely precious.

But now Xingxun Pictures has lost its reputation. They originally hoped to rely on this movie to make a beautiful turnaround, and to wash away the stereotypes that the outside world questioned that they could succeed by relying on Xu Wenruo, but now everything is gone. This feeling is like returning to the pre-liberation overnight.

However, in the face of this situation, the person who had been clamoring before was completely speechless. During the department meeting of Xingxun Film, everyone looked at Mr. Wang sitting in the middle, hoping that he could come out and come up with ideas.

At this time, they remembered that Mr. Wang was the top leader of Xingxun Film, but they turned a deaf ear to Mr. Wang's previous suggestion that he had a good relationship with Xu Wenruo. Now when he encounters difficulties, he changes his face. Sometimes human nature is much ugly than he imagined.

Facing everyone's eyes, Mr. Wang had no choice at this time. Regarding the statement that some people suggested to cooperate with Xu Wenruo again, Mr. Wang wanted to point at his nose and scold: If I had known this, what would you do in the past!

Mr. Wang still understands Xu Wenruo’s recent trends. He knows that Fengqi Studio is working with China Film Group to make a movie recently. Now there is no time and no interest in continuing to cooperate with Xingxun Pictures.

Thinking of this, a clip flashed through Mr. Wang's mind. It was at the premiere of the movie. He sat behind Xu Wenruo and watched the protagonist Supreme Bao in the movie say that very classic sentence.

"I once had a sincere feeling before me, and I didn't cherish it. I didn't regret it until I lost it."

Mr. Wang now empathizes with this sentence. He now understands why "American Journey" is a classic movie, but for Xingxun Pictures, the price is too high.

Xu Wenruo didn't know much about the situation of Xingxun Pictures, but after seeing the fate of Xingxun Pictures, one person felt lingering fear. This person was Lao Liu from Xingxun Video. Although he guessed that Xingxun Pictures might have had a little conflict with Fengqi Studio, he did not expect the consequences to be so serious.

Old Liu knew in his heart that Xingxun Pictures really failed this year. Not only did the achievements made by Xu Wenruo this year have been wasted, but even the foundation he had made before was completely lost. It would definitely not be able to slow down in a few years. This price is too high for a company.
