Compared with the previous vigorous publicity, Huang Wenchuan's new movie was released this time a bit quietly. In the past, Huang Wenchuan would arrange an advance screening, but this time Huang Wenchuan did not. Not only that, the theater chain gave Huang Wenchuan

The film placement rate is not very high either.

Huang Wenchuan originally planned to make this drama with a low budget. The total investment was less than 10 million, all of which Huang Wenchuan paid out of his own pocket. The main reason why he chose to make a youth romance film in his hometown was because of the low cost.

Low budget.

Huang Wenchuan has been in the film and television industry for so many years, and he has never been short of money for filming. Basically, he can get investment if he wants to film, and basically every film is making money.

Directors like Huang Wenchuan are obviously the most popular among capitalists, but Huang Wenchuan doesn't like the feeling of being controlled by others. In every movie in the past, as long as there was capital participation, Huang Wenchuan had to consider the sponsor's father more or less.

Feel.

Bringing capital into a group is a normal operation, and Huang Wenchuan has seen even more outrageous ones. That is to say, his director is famous enough and has a bigger say. But even so, it is very tiring to deal with capitalist Huang Wenchuan every time.

Huang Wenchuan was thinking, after all, he had been making movies for more than ten years, so he should try to go it alone, so Huang Wenchuan got excited and directly found a few old friends to set up a film and television company.

This movie is Huang Wenchuan's first work after becoming his own boss. The script is a bit conservative, but it conforms to the plot trend of a classic love story. As long as the actors' acting skills are in place and the director's level is sufficient, the film will not be ugly at all.

, and even earn a handful of tears from the audience.

Huang Wenchuan has already made this kind of love movie, and has even made a new one. He knows what the audience likes and wants to see. The only problem is that he has limited resources now, and the publicity is completely different from before. Can he let it go?

The public knows that it’s hard to tell when their new movie is released.

After all, the investment in this movie itself is very small. Most of the cost is invested in the venue and equipment. The actors hired are not even stars, they are all young talents selected from major film and television academies. After all, this is a can

The cheapest actor I've found, and his acting skills are pretty good.

Huang Wenchuan would not dare to invite even a slightly famous star. If someone really took a fancy to his fame and came over, then Huang Wenchuan would have to owe them a big favor. The higher the status of people, the more favors they have.

I find it troublesome and difficult to pay it back. Huang Wenchuan would not do it if it was not a last resort.

Because of this, when the theme song issue had not been properly resolved, Huang Wenchuan was not too embarrassed to ask Li Changle if he could help him write the theme song, except that Li Changle had previously refused his cooperation.

Also, because Li Changle is so well-known now, asking him to pay to write a song would blow the budget of the crew.

If we talk about the exchange of favors, Huang Wenchuan feels that Li Changle and Wang Siyi have no need for him at all now, and it will always be very cheap for him to join in. As a well-known director in the industry, Huang Wenchuan still takes face very seriously.

In the end, Li Changle contacted him directly. Huang Wenchuan did not expect that Li Changle would directly give him the newly written song to make the theme song. Li Changle did not even discuss remuneration with him.

Huang Wenchuan has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years. In this big dyeing vat where interests and resource replacement are always important, Li Changle is like a breath of fresh air. Even Huang Wenchuan, a big man, is a little touched.

Not everyone in the industry knew that he was going to be the sole proprietor of a new movie, but no one was even willing to congratulate Huang Wenchuan. Most of them just wanted to watch the fun and see how badly Huang Wenchuan's movie failed.

The inner thought of most people is that no matter what age it is, if you still want to achieve results by yourself, isn't it fanciful?

Without money, it is basically impossible to move forward. This sentence is vividly reflected in the entertainment industry where capital is rampant. From the filming of Huang Wenchuan's new movie to the release, Huang Wenchuan almost broke his leg back and forth before finally convincing the theater to release his movie online. Movie.

Although the theater chain agreed to release this movie, the scheduling rate and number of screenings provided by the theater chain were not very friendly to the movie. Most of the screenings were at midnight and 8 o'clock in the morning. There were only three screenings a day, and one more would be a waste. No.

"It will be released tomorrow. Whether it will live or die depends on the week's data of the movie's release."

Huang Wenchuan sighed. It was really difficult. With this film schedule, Huang Wenchuan even started to give up on treatment.

The next day, the movie was released at 12 o'clock in the morning as usual. Counting another show at 9 o'clock in the morning, there were two shows in total, neither of which was good.

Moreover, after the movie was released, there was not enough enthusiasm to discuss the movie on the Internet. In the end, the box office was very few in the whole day, which can be regarded as a new low in Huang Wenchuan's career as a director.

Huang Wenchuan looked at the box office data that had just come out and looked a little sad. Even though he was mentally prepared for the worst, he never expected that the box office on the first day was less than one million.

Cinemas regularly adjust their film schedules and screening times based on the box office. It is for this reason that Huang Wenchuan initially felt that he had a chance to counterattack even in the two worst shows. After all, he truly believed that his works were not bad. .

However, the box office results on the first day almost made Huang Wenchuan lose his temper. The box office on the first day was less than 1 million. This was achieved even though he had used publicity resources, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter, Director Huang, it's normal for the box office to be low at the beginning. After all, our movie has no publicity and no film schedule, but it doesn't matter. I have seen many movies that had a low box office at the beginning, and then the reputation of the movie continued to grow. Let's observe it for another day." The assistant director Yan Zeqi next to him saw Huang Wenchuan's sad face and comforted him.

However, even Yan Zeqi himself felt a little unconfident in saying this, purely out of his own deception. After so many years of working with Huang Wenchuan on movies, this was the first time he saw such an unconfident look on Huang Wenchuan's face.

Huang Wenchuan glanced at Yan Zeqi and smiled bitterly: "Hey, what you said is a bit unconfident, Zeqi. But what you said makes sense. Let's see again. Maybe things will get better tomorrow."

On the second day after the movie was released, Huang Wenchuan felt even more depressed when he saw the box office data given by the theater chain. This data was only the same as yesterday, and there was no upward trend.

If this trend continues, if the box office does not increase after a week, it is estimated that there will not even be two screenings in the film schedule, and only one screening will be retained.

Huang Wenchuan silently looked at the box office data. Yan Zeqi was watching from the side. He wanted to say something to comfort him but didn't know how to say it. Although this movie did not have any big production, the shooting and production of the movie were better than any previous big productions.

All must be attentive.

After all, this is a work they directed and performed themselves, just like their own children. Now that the box office is so low and the number of screenings is reduced, Yan Zeqi is also very depressed.

Huang Wenchuan said solemnly: "The box office has not dropped, which means that the audience still recognizes the movie, but there are too few people who know about it, and the show is too biased, so it is difficult for the audience to buy it."

Thinking of this, Huang Wenchuan felt a little unwilling. It was not because his work was not good at the box office, but because of the poor performance due to off-site factors such as the film schedule, which made him somewhat unconvinced.

"Hurry up, get milk tea, popcorn, and a big bucket." Wang Siyi muttered to Li Changle who was collecting tickets.

"Don't worry, the tickets haven't been picked up yet." Li Changle responded while picking up the tickets. Li Changle said a little helplessly. He didn't know why Wang Siyi was so angry that he had to come out to watch a movie at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Li Changle has been sleeping more regularly these days, and obviously cannot accept going out to watch movies in the middle of the night.

After picking up the tickets, Li Changle couldn't help but yawn, and started to feel a little sleepy, so he complained: "It's so late at night, what kind of movie are you watching..."

Wang Siyi seemed very energetic, and even with a mask on, Wang Siyi's happy mood could be felt: "That's because there is only this movie, and if I don't watch it tonight, I won't have time to watch it, and I will be very busy in the next few days.

"

Li Changle took the milk tea from the front desk of the theater and handed it to Wang Siyi. He also held a bucket of popcorn before holding Wang Siyi's hand and entering the theater.

Looking at the empty theater, Li Changle looked around curiously, made sure there was no one there, and then said with a smile: "Hey, we have reserved the theater today."

But then Li Changle said in confusion: "It shouldn't be. Isn't this a movie made by director Huang Wenchuan? Why is it so lacking in box office appeal this time?"

"Watch a movie first. It's about to start. This is my first time to experience the feeling of booking a movie." Wang Siyi pulled Li Changle to sit down.

Huang Wenchuan's movie is called The World Is So Big and I Still Want to Love You. The plot mainly tells the story of the male protagonist and the female protagonist finally coming together after a series of separations and reunions.

The direction of the story is similar to the movie Li Changle watched with Wang Siyi in the cinema last time. Li Changle still remembered that the movie was called Our Love.

What's interesting is that the theme song of that movie is called Hongdou, and it was also sung by Wang Siyi, and it was really because of this song that Wang Siyi became famous again. It can be said that Huang Wenchuan was kind to Wang Siyi.

The stories of the movies are all the same, but there are still many differences in the plot design of the movies. Otherwise, if Huang Wenchuan came up with a template drama to perfunctory the public, he would probably be directly criticized by the fans.

The whole movie lasts for almost an hour and a half. Li Changle was quite sleepy at the beginning and kept yawning while watching the movie. Every time the male protagonist and the female protagonist clarify their hearts, there will always be force majeure factors or other factors that prompt the two to watch the movie.

People separate.

Every time a scene like this occurs, Wang Siyi can't help but grab Li Changle's wrist, and he grabs it quite hard. Li Changle instantly becomes more energetic. He has no choice but to follow Wang Siyi to watch the movie seriously, without thinking about what will happen next.

The more I look at it, the more I look up to it.

The movie ends slowly with the male protagonist wearing a suit and the female protagonist wearing a wedding dress running together on the beach and chasing each other. Along with this scene, the song "So Many People in the World" played at the right time.

Li Changle and Wang Siyi were sitting in the cinema. The last scene of the movie had ended, but the singing was still going on.

It wasn't until he finished listening to the song "So Many People in the World" that Li Changle turned to look at Wang Siyi beside him and signaled Wang Siyi to get up and go back: "The movie is over, go back."

Wang Siyi stood up silently, but did not leave immediately, but directly hugged Li Changle. The plot of the movie just now clearly made Wang Siyi fall in love with the scene.

In the play, the male and female protagonists separated more than once, and family reasons accounted for many factors. Wang Siyi thought of what his father looked like when he first met Li Changle.

At that time, Li Changle was not her boyfriend, but she didn't know why she just didn't want to be separated from him.

If I hadn't been brave enough, maybe I would have been separated from him forever. Life is not like in movies, where two people can always meet again by chance.

Li Changle was stunned for a moment when Wang Siyi took the initiative to hug him, but then he realized that Wang Siyi had most likely felt the same way because of the plot in the movie.

Wang Siyi is a very emotional person, which Li Changle discovered a long time ago. At this time, all Li Changle can do is to put his hands on Wang Siyi's back and embrace her.

After a while, the cleaning aunt came to clean the movie theater as usual. As soon as she came in, she saw a young couple hugging each other. However, the aunt had seen this kind of scene many times, so she was not panicked at all.

I looked around for a while, and it seemed like these two young people were the only ones in the entire theater. Their work tonight was very easy. It seemed that another movie had failed at the box office. The cleaning aunt came to a conclusion in her heart.

Wang Siyi was still immersed in the huge sense of security when he was hugged by Li Changle, but suddenly he heard a dry cough. Wang Siyi was so frightened that he quickly pushed Li Changle away, and then pulled Li Changle with a red face.

He quickly walked out of the theater.

Startled, he quickly separated from Li Changle, picked up the milk tea and popcorn buckets on his seat, and pulled Li Changle out of the theater quickly.

The cleaning aunt nodded with satisfaction when she saw that her cough had taken effect. If she didn't have to clean the garbage, she could let the young couple hold her until tomorrow morning and they would be fine.

However, when I wrote that Wang Siyi did not forget to take away his trash when he left, my affection for these two young people skyrocketed.

Wang Siyi took over the job first. He felt a little sorry for the young couple. He seemed to have disturbed their romance. If he had known better, he should have let them hold him till dawn.

…

"Hey... why are you so close?" Li Changle looked at the blushing Wang Siyi with some humor. He was obviously very thin-skinned, so how could he dare to hug him in public? Now he was fine.

I feel ashamed when I bump into someone.

Wang Siyi patted Li Changle angrily and said fiercely: "It's all your fault. Why didn't you remind me when someone came..."

Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi, blinked and said, "I didn't see it either. When I hug you, I always give you an immersive hug. I can't feel the movement outside."

Wang Siyi sighed. Wang Siyi, who didn't want to bring up this topic anymore, blushed and quickly changed the topic.
