Chapter 167 The crazy desire to survive

On August 24, not long after midnight, Yang Rui got the box office statistics.

"Those Years" won the championship on the second day without any suspense, with a single-day box office of 49.3528 million, only one step away from the 50 million mark.

This result has made many people jealous, but in Yang Rui's opinion, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

After all, this time he got nearly 27% of the film schedule, ranking first in the same period.

Judging from the ratio of film schedule to box office, the attendance rate is actually not ideal.

But if you think about it carefully, it's actually normal.

After all, movies with this theme are not originally a type that targets all ages, and the audience is limited.

Moreover, yesterday happened to be a Monday, so there were even fewer non-student moviegoers.

But as long as word-of-mouth builds and it continues to rise steadily for ten or eight days, the box office will basically be the same.

Ranked second is "Days of Youth", whose single-day box office dropped sharply to 37.4478 million, falling below the 40 million mark in just one day.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this was a face-to-face PK that was completely smashed, and the box office was directly sucked up by "Those Years".

But...so what?

This film was originally intended to be a hit. For a small-budget film with a shooting period of less than a month, there is no suspense about making back the money, and you can even make a small profit!

The box office trend is gradually becoming clearer, and the reputation of the two companies has begun to take shape.

Even though Jiayun has tried its best to control points and reviews, it is impossible for so many platforms to be airtight, and various complaints began to appear more and more.

The shortcomings are almost common to popular movies - the plot is ridiculous, some of the content is extremely vulgar, the protagonist has no acting skills at all, and there are too many product placements that are annoying...

On the contrary, the prototype of "Those Years" has been quite healthy, with praises pouring in.

In addition to the excellent film itself, there is another incident that has caused heated discussion on the Internet.

Theme song of the same name of the film, lyrics/music: Ruiyang.

"It's him again?!"

"Who the hell is this?"

"Are all my Jinyi guards just doing it for a living? It's been so many days and you still haven't found out this person's background?"

"By the way, this song is really nice, and the lyrics are so poignant."

"Nonsense, how can it not sound good? The brother who sang this song was a little transparent person who had never been found before, but overnight he was on thousands of music newcomer lists!"

"This is pie in the sky!"

"I did some research, and it seems that this singer named Zhu Xia was brought out by Zhang Yadong. Could this Ruiyang be Zhang Yadong's vest?"

"Zhang Langzi has already become famous, and yet he still wears a waistcoat and hangs out in Novice Village. Isn't he mentally ill?"

"Perhaps... he wanted to experiment with some new music types and was afraid of causing criticism, so he used the vest?"

"Like the song "Learning to Meow"?"

"Damn it, this makes sense! I wonder where the great god can control such a variety of styles of songs. It wouldn't be surprising if it was him!"

"So...the case has been solved?"

"pretty close!"

In the big mansion, Zhang Langzi, who was having sex with Da Meiyuan, suddenly found that his Weibo exploded.

"Master, it's so hard for you to hide this from us!"

"Teacher Zhang, why do you need to use a vest? Recording is not popular these days, so we can understand why you can make some extra money."

"Is it embarrassing to write DY songs? Why are you hiding? I just like listening to "Learning to Meow" and "Once Upon a Time"!"

"Master Zhang, please help Sissi write two more songs when you have time. They're so nice!"

"…………"

Zhang Yadong and Gao Yuanyuan were confused. What the hell?

It took them a long time to figure out the whole story.

"These people are so imaginative." Zhang Yadong shook his head and laughed: "They can actually doubt me."

"That's just to put some money on your face, right?" Gao Yuanyuan said unceremoniously: "Let's not talk about making movies. I'm going to give you a thumbs-up when writing songs."

Zhang Yadong's face turned green when he heard this.

Since returning from secretly watching "Those Years" last night, Gao Yuanyuan has not stopped praising Yang Rui. He feels so uncomfortable in his heart!

The feeling is not much different from being fucked.

"Hey, do you think he still remembers me?" Gao Yuanyuan said with a frown, "I heard that there are a lot of actresses waiting to be cast in his roles. I won't be completely forgotten, right?"

"Just forget it." Zhang Yadong snorted: "He is not the only director in the world. Without Butcher Yang, you can only eat pigs with hair on them?"

Hearing the strong sourness in his words, Gao Yuanyuan smiled and poked his forehead, "You are too old to be childish! Do you have a chance to help me?"

Zhang Yadong sighed silently.

I'm afraid this little lover is wild-minded...

In the afternoon of that day, Jing Tian took Liu Shishi, Shen Teng, Shi Xiaolong and others on a road show trip.

Yang Rui did not participate because he had more important things to participate in - the music department of Xingqing Culture, the team has been prepared.

Ding Lan directly recruited two music teams that were on the verge of disbandment, one was a grassroots music team, and the other was a streaming music team that had not received any work in half a year.

Both teams suffered serious attrition due to operating difficulties, so Ding Lan simply mixed them into a team as the basic team of the music department.

There is currently only one singer in this music department, Zhang Liangying, who was just signed recently. For this reason, Ding Lan also invited Professor Han, who is retired at home, to come over as a "special consultant".

Whether the old lady can make a contribution or not is not critical. Ding Lan is targeting the huge resources of disciples behind her.

Those are all high-quality potential stocks!

In addition, since Jing Tian also has a "hobby" of singing, Jing Yong was not stingy at all and directly purchased a sparse recording studio with a check for the use of the music department.

Although it is just a small and unknown recording studio, and the equipment is a bit outdated, it is more than enough to record some online songs.

When we arrived at the recording studio, the new employees in the music department were fawning over Ding Lan.

Seeing Yang Rui appear, a group of new employees came up to greet him, greeting Director Yang one by one.

Until a stunned young man suddenly said: "Director Yang, you are so busy and you came here specifically to invite me to sing?"

Upon hearing this, several others also opened their eyes.

Isn’t it so cool to come here before the official opening?

Yang Rui was dumbfounded on the spot and looked blankly at Ding Lan behind him.

Ding Lan was also amused, "I forgot to introduce him to you, he is not only a director, but in your music circle, he also has a vest named Ruiyang."

"He will temporarily serve as the director of the music department and is considered your direct boss."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience turned to stone.

"Rui... Ruiyang?" The stunned young man seemed to be stuttering, "You, you, you... you are Ruiyang?!"

"Ruiyang...Yang Rui..." Another man with a ponytail said with a wry smile: "I see, that's it!"

"Holy shit, is it really you? Teacher Yang, you're hiding this from us, it's so hard for us!"

"Can you still write songs after making a movie? Teacher Yang, I kneel down for you..."

All the new employees immediately became fans and started to flatter Yang Rui.

It's not false flattery, it's true admiration.

In just a few months, songs such as "Learning to Meow", "Once Upon a Time" and "Wooden Heart" have almost become DY's legendary BGM!

You can say they are low, but they are really profitable!

How can they, a bunch of down-and-out musicians, have the right to complain about being low?

For them, music that makes money is good music.

Isn't this Yang Rui, who has the ability to turn stones into gold, the God of Wealth?

Just flatter him to death!

In the distance, a female musician's eyes were filled with blazing flames of gossip.

No wonder, Liu Yiqian’s songs are all arranged by Ruiyang, that’s it!

Haha, if these two people are not weird, I will broadcast live!

After chatting with these people for a few words, Yang Rui finally solemnly asked them to keep it secret.

His vocal foundation is not yet good enough to meet people, and he doesn't want to take off his vest yet.

Although everyone is a little confused, but...what the boss says is what it is!

After looking around, Yang Rui and Ding Lan left the music department.

Halfway through, Ding Lan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Tomorrow is the 25th, do you remember what day it is?"

Yang Rui's head thumped, and his desire to survive began to run wildly.

Xiao Tiantian’s birthday?

Already passed?

Ding Lan’s own birthday?

It seems to be December?

Anniversary of joining the company?

That’s not right either?

What kind of holiday would that be?

August 25th…

After thinking crazily, Yang Rui asked tentatively: "It seems... National Disability Prevention Day?"

Ding Lan felt as if he had been struck by thunder and was speechless.

After a long while, she glanced at Yang Rui meaningfully.

"If I were her mother, I would definitely beat you to a disability."
