This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 867 Xie Nan is really blind (asking for monthly tickets)
Another film produced by Heidou Media has officially finished filming.

It just happened to be the celebration party for "Painted Skin", a movie that grossed 4.2 million yuan in mainland China and over 5 million yuan worldwide.

During the same period, the box office of "Keep Talking" barely broke 5000 million, which was only one-eighth of the box office of "Painted Skin" in mainland China.

Compared with the cost of 4000 million, it is a complete failure.

The decline of Hong Kong films seems to have not yet reached the bottom and is still continuing on a downward slope.

Of course, Heidou Media failed to maintain its undefeated record.

"Wolf Tooth" released by Wu Jing performed mediocrely both in mainland China and Hong Kong, and the total box office will not exceed 1200 million.

Only the guest appearances of Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi added some color.

Otherwise, the box office might not even reach 1000 million.

With an investment of 600 million, and free guest appearances by Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, this result is definitely a loss.

For a while, Wu Jing was ridiculed by many people.

Laugh at him for overestimating his own abilities.

Not everyone can become a director. You can't just join in the fun when you see others making money.

Even Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi can't save you, Wu Jing, you'd better give up.

Who the hell cares about the official announcement of his relationship with Xie Nan? To be honest, I really don’t know who Xie Nan is.

Wu Jing has been a star for many years, that’s enough.

She can only play some supporting roles where people get beaten, and she also imitates others to announce their love affairs. Xie Nan doesn’t know her, but her vision is really not very good.

If Wu Jing can do it, why can't I? I think I can be a director too.

Apart from the fighting scenes, the plot is really bad and the acting is average.

Comparing "Painted Skin" and "Wolf Tooth", you will know what a genius and a fool are. The most frightening thing is being stupid and not knowing it.

I heard that Wu Jing flattered Hao Yun and that’s why Heidou Media paid him, but this is the result?

Wu Jing is really reckless and Xie Nan is really blind.

……

There are a lot of similar negative reviews, and major film critics have also taken action, seemingly cherishing this rare opportunity - the opportunity to complain about Black Bean Media's movies.

Hao Yun sat in the car, looking at the negative reviews that kept popping up online. After thinking about it, he edited a Weibo post and posted it.

Hao Yun V: "Wolf Tooth" does have many flaws, and I don't expect everyone to like it, but from my personal point of view, I am quite satisfied with @吴靖V's directorial debut, and I believe the next one will be better.

After sending it, Hao Yun didn't care about it anymore.

He got out of the car and went straight to knock on the door.

He had been to Wu Jing's house before and knew that Wu Jing was at home at the moment. After all, Wu Jing had just had a drink with Ning Hao, Guo Fan and others last night, and was then sent back by Guo Fan.

I knocked on the door and it was Wu Jing's father.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Uncle, I'm Hao Yun, Wu Jing's buddy." Hao Yun took off his hat and glasses.

"Oh, it's his boss, please come in!"

After taking a closer look at Hao Yun, Father Wu recognized the identity of the person.

"Where is Wu Jing?" Hao Yun glanced at the living room.

"He's still sleeping. He hasn't even had breakfast or lunch." Dad Wu sighed. His son was devastated. Not only did his movie fail at the box office, but he was also ridiculed after he officially announced his relationship. He felt sorry for his girlfriend.

In fact, it is just that the self-esteem of the male chauvinists has been hurt.

"I'll take him out to attend the celebration banquet..." said Hao Yun.

“……” Dad Wu’s mouth twitched.

His son’s box office failure and bruised ego, is there anything to celebrate?

Are you sure it's not because my son paid you compensation that you are here to kill him?

"No!" Wu Jing opened the door.

He had woken up a long time ago, but just lay in bed and didn't want to move.

"This is..." Hao Yun seemed to not recognize Wu Jing. He asked Wu's father with a look of surprise and confusion: "Is this your daughter? She's pretty."

Dad Wu opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

He couldn't even figure out Hao Yun's purpose in coming to his house. It certainly wasn't to take advantage of someone's misfortune.

How can a boss be so stingy?

So, this is the legendary method of provoking someone?

It’s no wonder that this method is extremely effective for people who practice martial arts.

When Wu Jing heard what Hao Yun said, he burst into laughter.

"Fuck, wait five minutes!"

From the sound, he went to pee and brush his teeth.

Hao Yun sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted with Wu's father.

"I'm sorry that you had to pay for the damage." Father Wu first apologized to Hao Yun. According to the traditional Chinese tradition, he should also bear the responsibility for the trouble caused by his son.

"Grandpa, let me put it this way..." Hao Yun's voice was a little loud, and he talked eloquently: "First of all, investment is risky. No matter what business you do, there is the possibility of losing money. It is impossible to let the employees bear this risk for the boss, don't you think so?" "That's the truth..." Dad Wu nodded.

"Secondly, I won't lose much money. If the box office makes 1200 million, plus sales to TV stations and some discs, I also have a distribution company overseas. Not only will I not lose money, I may even make some money." Hao Yun said half-truthfully.

Discs are becoming less and less valuable nowadays.

In addition to rampant piracy, there are also a large number of online resources. Many people stay up all night online, playing games and watching movies.

Although the so-called gun version has a slightly worse picture quality, it does not affect the plot.

The TV station does not buy all movies, and if the movie does not win an award, the purchase price will be very low.

As for overseas distribution, it is even less worth mentioning.

"So that's how it is." Father Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like there's no need to sell the house.

The old man's original words to comfort Wu Jing were, if you really feel bad, let's sell the house and make up the loss to others.

"Finally, Wu Jing is a new director trained by the company. When training a person, it is impossible not to allow him to make mistakes. Only when he makes mistakes can we know how to shoot the next movie. Don't you think this is the case?"

Hao Yun analyzed the situation.

"That's true, but can my kid really do it?" Dad Wu was still a little nervous.

He always thinks his son is good in every way.

But he also knew himself well, and for the sake of his son he learned to read the reviews on the Internet. How could a movie with sufficient funding and great cameos be so unsuccessful at the box office?

Could it be that his son is not suitable for this job?

"His situation is quite good. Many directors in our company may not have had their previous films released in theaters. They only gradually got the hang of it after shooting two or three films." Hao Yun said this with a dry mouth, so he took a sip of water and continued.

"They said it had damaged your company's reputation..." Father Wu became more relaxed the more he listened.

No matter what the truth is, at least the boss did not shirk responsibility.

A leader who doesn’t shirk responsibility is rarer than a giant panda.

"There is no such thing as an undefeated dynasty. Even dynasties can fall, let alone a company. I have never thought about such a thing."

When Hao Yun comforted Wu's father, he was actually also comforting Wu Jing.

His current situation is that I thought I could do it, but once I started, I found that it was not the case.

Besides, there was no improvement after the official announcement of the relationship, and it was embarrassing in front of his lover.

I immediately started to doubt my life.

Wu Jing was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, and somehow she couldn't stop crying.

Straight men have tears too.

After Wu Jing washed up and changed into a suit, Hao Yun said goodbye to Wu's father.

He came specifically to pick up Wu Jing to attend the celebration banquet.

This celebration banquet was mainly to celebrate the box office success of "Painted Skin" and the completion of "Sword Rain".

"Wolf Tooth" is currently being screened at the same time. You may not celebrate, but you must invite the audience.

Not inviting is a punishment.

But Hao Yun didn't want to be punished just because the movie lost a few dollars.

What a big deal.

Only Wu Jing is too stubborn and doesn't have the broad-mindedness of a tough guy at all.

Of course, it is also possible that Guo Fan painted a pie that was too big for him.

So much so that I can't accept this gap.

There was a simple red carpet at the celebration banquet. I just stood on it and let the media take pictures, and then signed my name on the poster of "Painted Skin".

Hao Yun and Wu Jing appeared on the red carpet together, causing quite a stir.

Hasn’t Hao Gou been locked together with An Xiaoxi all the time?
Why did it become Wu Jing this time?

Besides, didn’t Wu Jing’s new movie flop? The word of mouth is terrible.

Then everyone saw that Hao Yun didn't just walk the red carpet with Wu Jing.

The two of them even put their arms around each other's shoulders and asked people to take pictures.

The intimate posture makes others envious.

Unfortunately, there was no interview arranged at the door, so the two signed their names and went in.

In fact, Wu Jing is also on the poster.

He is the second male lead in "Painted Skin" and his performance in the film is remarkable. His martial arts scenes are superb and his literary scenes are not lagging behind.

Without Hao Yun's company, An Xiaoxi came with Zhou Xun.

Following behind Hao Yun and Wu Jing, An Xiaoxi and Zhou Xun held hands when they saw the two men arm in arm.

I remember there was a joke on the Internet where a wife threatened her husband not to go to prostitutes, saying, "How did you spend this money? I will go out and earn it back for you."

This is called reciprocal retaliation.
