Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 212 [Leave the door open for me at night]

end of June.

"Dear" broke the 3.5 million box office mark.

Han Sanping helped the crew apply for the key to postpone the release of the film, so it can stay in major theaters for another month.

But the box office is basically settled.

With the success of "Tangshan", the box office performance of "Dear" is still acceptable to everyone.

Even so, it still took the lead in this year's box office market.

Some careful people have already discovered that the top two in this year's domestic film box office rankings are both films starring Xu Ming.

It’s so successful at the beginning of the year that many of its peers are jealous.

Did this guy take aphrodisiac?
If this continues, the second bet between the other party and Feng Dapao seems likely to come true.

Of the total box office of 5.7 billion, only million has been completed, which is one quarter.

Before, they thought Xu Ming was a boaster, but after doing the math, they were suddenly shocked.

Especially inside Huayi.

Feng Dapao was pacing back and forth in Wang Zhongjun's office.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll put 1942 aside for now and shoot Big Shot 2 or Cell Phone 2. Anyway, I can't let that kid named Xu go on like this."

His heart ached when he thought about the possibility of him saying "look up and see the Big Dipper" to that guy.

After finally picking up his face, he said he couldn't throw it on the ground again.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning. Xu Ming is just like a monkey who is king when there is no tiger in the mountain. Since the beginning of the year, has there been any big productions?"

"Let's wait for the summer and Lunar New Year movies. These are the places where the competition is fierce. By then, he won't be able to show up."

Wang Zhongjun comforted Feng Dapao, saying that the company's production plan for the year had been planned long ago, so how could it change at any time?
Only five months have passed in this year, and the best is yet to come.

"Ah, it's not that I'm impatient. We've been making movies together for 10 to years. In this industry, momentum is very important. It took him years to build momentum. If he can really build momentum this year..."

Feng Xiaogang paused and spread his hands, "Who can stop it?"

This is a very realistic and true problem.

It would be fine if the relationship between the two parties was good.

But the conflict between Xu Ming and Hua Yi is obvious, and the two sides have been at odds for a long time.

If the former gains momentum, it will deal a heavy blow to the latter.

To put it most intuitively, if Xu Ming's movies perform well at the box office, Huayi's stock price will drop a bit.

Moreover, actors are not like directors who can produce a lot and see quick results.

Xu Ming is still famous for his high productivity.

"I understand what you said. Now is not the right time. Dear is a big hit right now, and the anti-trafficking movement it has created has caught the attention of the higher-ups."

"Also, Dear Home Network has been singled out for praise by many official media outlets. Anyone who has evil intentions towards it right now is blind."

The more Wang Zhongjun spoke, the more shocked he became. Damn, this guy's influence was limited to the film and television industry before, but now it seems to be on the rise.

If we let it go any further, it will eventually become a trend.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I think it's not just our family that is thinking about this. I don't believe that other families don't have any ideas."

"Jun'er, contact other families later. If we want to snipe Xu Ming, we can't just rely on our family."

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had no choice but to accept the fact.

To deal with Xu Ming, his family is not enough, everyone has to work together.

……

Hong Kong.

Xu Ming, who had just finished taking a shot, waved at Cheng Xiaodong.

"Okay, let's take a break before filming again."

The latter immediately understood what it meant and became exhausted.

In order to achieve better effects, most of the fighting scenes were performed by Xu Ming himself, with only a small part given to a stunt double.

This also caused Xu Ming, who is not a professional martial arts actor, to suffer numerous injuries, and the fact that he has persisted until now has already overdrawn his body.

"Do you want a bonesetter to come over and give us a hand?" Xiaojuan came over and asked.

"No, just relax for a while."

Xu Ming shook his head. In his opinion, this was a necessary test.

You could also say he was asking for trouble.

Sometimes when things are too smooth for a person, and he doesn't seek some hardship, his mind becomes unclear.

"By the way, several investors of "Dear" invited you to go back and host a celebration banquet, and several social welfare activities have also sent you invitations." Xiaojuan reported.

"Just ask them to invite Director Zhang and the others. I won't go back. I need to finish the current scene as soon as possible. I have to rush to the next group."

Xu Ming shook his head. He still had three movies on hand and had to finish filming them quickly, otherwise they would not be released before the New Year.

Of course, there was also the reason that I was embarrassed to meet Master Zhang.

Especially when I see the other person's kind face, I feel like I'm nothing.

"As for social welfare activities, don't ask me about such things in the future. Just refuse directly."

This muddy water is much deeper than the entertainment industry. It can drown him, so it is better to stay away from it.

"Okay, now many people on the Internet are discussing your performance in "Dearest", and they think you have made great progress. Mr. Zhuo asked me to ask you if you need to take this opportunity to consolidate your image as an acting talent."

Xiaojuan took note of it silently and continued.

Good acting skills?
Does this need to be consolidated?
I am the Hundred Flowers Award winner, haven’t I always been?

Xu Ming was intoxicated in his heart, but he was very honest: "Don't do that. Not only can it not be consolidated, but we have to ask our people to help get rid of this label."

"It's enough to grab a little marketing. I'm just a 22-year-old new actor. I act very seriously and work hard. I want to convey my youthfulness and attitude towards acting, and not to flaunt my acting skills."

He has a clear self-awareness that his performance is at best between 75 and 80 points. With more preparation, he can get it around 85, which is close to the excellent line.

This score is very high for a young actor.

But it's common for an actor with good acting skills.

Obviously, the audience's standards for different actors will be different.

He would rather let the audience lower their expectations of himself, so that they can feel a sense of unexpected gain when they see his performance in the theater.

I don’t want to be labeled as an acting talent.

Because he really has acting skills, just not much.

Unlike some actors who have no acting skills at all, if they don't fool the audience and brainwash their fans, they won't be able to sell movie tickets at all.

Of course, it’s okay now, everyone generally has some dignity left.

18 years later, all the so-called traffic actors have performed terribly, but they still have to praise themselves on short video platforms.

"Okay, then there is only one thing left. Sister Xiaoyuan has already secured Yang Yang's contract. She asked me to tell you, there is nothing else." Xiaojuan said.

"Well, now that the contract is signed, we will quickly arrange work for the young man. We can start adapting the TV versions of So Young and So Young."

Xu Ming attaches great importance to this cash cow seedling. As long as he can cultivate it to the level of the other party in his previous life, one person can support the entire company.

After saying that, he stood up, waved to Cheng Xiaodong and said, "I'm almost done with my rest, let's continue."

Perhaps it was due to his rebirth or the old turtle soup, but his body recovered exceptionally quickly.

After hesitating for a moment, he sent a text message to Xiao Songjia who was in group B.

【Leave the door open for me at night. 】

……

It’s just May.

An inconspicuous piece of news was revealed in the corner of the entertainment section.

[Rongxinda newcomer Yang Yang confirmed to switch to Qiming Entertainment]

Not many people paid attention to it, not even people in the circle cared.

As an artist, it is normal to change employers.

What's more, he is a relatively unknown new actor. I guess Rong Xinda doesn't even remember that there is such a signed artist.

However, on the same day, Rong Xinda Chairman Li Xiaowan suddenly posted a message on Weibo, which instantly pushed the news to the climax of public opinion.

[Li Xiaowan: I have been in and out of companies, and my relationships have ended and ended. I have always been very generous, but can some unscrupulous companies that do not follow the rules stop challenging my bottom line again and again?]

[It’s fine if you poached one person, but you poached a second one. Do you have any shame? The atmosphere in the circle is corrupted by latecomers like you. Disgusting!!!]

The three exclamation marks perfectly reflect Li Xiaowan’s resentment.

It wasn’t enough to send one message, so I immediately sent another one.

[Li Xiaowan: Don’t think this is the end. Wait for the lawsuit. I will fight you to the end and will never compromise.]

She didn't care about Yang Yang, but that didn't mean she would allow him to be poached.

I would rather let it rot in my own field than let it be sold cheaply to others.

Not to mention, with the precedent of Yang Mi, Da Mimi's commercial value has soared after "Startling by Each Step" and the special marketing plan made by Qiming Network.

The endorsement offers and event announcement fees that were exposed made Li Xiaowan feel like she was being fleeced.

In her opinion, she should have had a share of those things.

One stone caused a thousand waves.

For a time, countless people flocked to Weibo.

Looking forward to the response from Qiming Entertainment and Xu Ming.

Even though Li Xiaowan didn't mention any names, everyone knew which company she was scolding.

On the other hand, Wang Feng, who had just issued a joint statement with Xu Ri Yang Gang, finally made it to the hot search list, but before he could even warm up his mood, he was squeezed off.

There was no big news in May, and everyone was waiting for something fun.

Xu Ming also has a group of netizens following his Weibo.

[Lu Lu Lu Ming: When I heard about the gossip, I rushed over immediately. As expected, it turned out to be my old friend Xu Ming.]

[Xingxingxinghe: I am crying my ass off. This guy is awesome. He makes some noise every now and then, just to make sure everyone is not bored.]

[A passerby said: Wait, I don’t understand, who is to blame this time? ]

[General Heipi: In conclusion, Qiming poached Rong Xinda’s people, and Li Xiaowan was not happy.]

The last comment was liked by countless people.

You are the one who should write this novel.

The news quickly spread to Qiming Entertainment, and then from the company to Xu Ming's ears in Hong Kong.

Even the latter was the first to receive the news, and it was Xiao Songjia who conveyed it.

This guy spends his free time holding a cell phone and browsing Weibo.

"Didn't Xiaoyuan say that she had secured Yang Yang's contract?" Xu Ming frowned.

"We've paid the penalty for breach of contract. No matter morally or legally, Yang Yang is ours now," Xiaojuan explained.

Xu Ming suddenly realized, no wonder Li Xiaowan was so resentful.

The so-called payment of liquidated damages means that Rong Xinda was unwilling, but Qiming forcibly took the person away.

This is tantamount to a slap in the face.

In terms of the rules of the circle, his own doings were indeed not fair, but the digging had already been done, and he had arranged it personally, so he couldn't take back his decision.

"What are the chances of winning the lawsuit against Rong Xinda?" Xu Ming asked.

"The company has hired a new legal officer named Yan Xu. According to him, the winning rate is over 99%." Xiaojuan said.

That's a lawsuit that's sure to win.

Xu Ming had a clue in his mind, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me a pen and paper. Bah, bring me a cell phone."

The times are advancing, and we need to find more technologically advanced ways to show off.

"By the way, remember to ask people in the company to forward the Weibo post I'm going to post later."

"Also, no one in the company should respond to Li Xiaowan. No matter what Rong Xinda says, ignore it."

Xu Ming added that he would not give the other side any footage.

For today's Qiming Entertainment, Rong Xinda's size is nothing to be taken seriously, and the two parties are not on the same level at all.

In terms of seniority, Qiming may not be as good as Rong Xinda.

In terms of performance, whether it is a TV series or a movie, they are both better than the other.

The other party's glory only exists in the past.

After half an hour.

Under the expectant eyes of netizens.

During the filming of "A Man's Martial Arts", Xu Ming, who had not updated his Weibo for a long time, posted a new blog post for the first time.

[Xu Dadadaming: There is a new guy in the company, and he is said to be as handsome as me. After looking at his photo, I feel a little pressured. He is a post-90s guy who is less than 20 years old. I feel very complicated.]

[But Director Yu Zheng decided to cast him in his new drama "To Youth" to play the role of Chen Xiaozheng, who I played before. I quite agree with this. After all, it's rare to have a male actor who is younger than me and can put pressure on me in terms of appearance @杨阳. ]

The blog post was accompanied by two photos, individual photos of him and Yang Yang respectively.

By the way, a vote was launched - [Who is more handsome, Xu Ming or Yang Yang? ]

To everyone's surprise, the entire blog post did not contain any response to Li Xiaowan.

Based on their understanding of Xu Ming, they originally thought that there would be a bloody storm.

I didn't expect this guy to become so kind.

In other words, he didn't take Li Xiaowan seriously.

Then everyone shifted their attention to the words voting and appearance.

[A passerby: If you don’t understand, just ask, what does appearance mean? 】

Within a minute, Xu Ming himself responded.

[Xu Dada Dada Ming: The value of appearance]

Hey, that word has some meaning.

The netizens who were watching realized that they were once again witnessing the birth of a popular Internet word.

Getting more and more excited.

Compare the photos of the two people carefully.

For nose, Xu Ming gets one extra point. Don’t ask why. A big nose is a plus point.

In terms of eyes, Yang Yang gets one extra point; his single eyelid willow-shaped eyes are quite distinctive in the entertainment industry.

Many netizens who were originally not interested in Yang Yang will inevitably become interested in this newcomer during the comparison process.

Following Xu Ming’s tag, I found the other party’s Weibo.

A small number of them clicked to follow.

Especially female fans.

For them, it is normal to pay attention to Yang Yang while paying attention to Xu Ming.

Besides, how can supporting an idol’s artists not be considered supporting the idol’s career?

Other artists under Qiming also reposted the message.

Yang Mi welcomed her junior brother, while Sun Yizhou said that as the second most handsome man in the company, he had to step down and let others take over.

Even Jing Tian, who was not a Qiming artist, joined in the fun and voted for Xu Ming.

After the release of "Warring States", this girl was criticized so badly that she hasn't dared to be active on the Internet for a long time.

With this novel way of promotion, Yang Yang's Weibo fans instantly soared from 32,000 to 1.25 million.

And the number is still rising, and it seems likely that it will break two million followers one day.

This rate of increasing followers also attracted more netizens who wanted to watch the fun, forming a virtuous circle.

So many artists felt as if they had eaten lemons when they saw Yang Yang, who became famous just after changing jobs.

It's possible for us to jump into this trough.
