......
Similar topics began to appear on Weibo, Douyin, and other platforms.
Furthermore, the moment it appeared, it was immediately pushed onto the trending searches!
Cao Ping's willingness to spend money was one of the reasons.
But more importantly, Lin Gu's acting skills had indeed conquered the audience!
After watching the premiere, most of the audience would subconsciously search for related topics on these platforms.
Among them, Lin Gu was the one who was searched the most!
no way
Handsome, newcomer, director's support
These words were very eye-catching.
In addition to the classic scenes that Lin Gu had contributed in " Blazing Sun," it was no wonder that the audience was not interested in him.
Of course, the topic had not completely exploded yet.
Because a lot of viewers chose the second swipe
The movie Blazing Sun Enlightening the Heart was worth watching a second time.
There were all kinds of twists, foreshadowing, and details. Even if the ending was already known, watching it again would give one a feeling of being 'brand-new!'
All of this would obviously take some time to ferment.
......
After attending the premiere.
Lin Gu was invited by Yang Hanlin, a high-ranking official of Huayi Entertainment, to a private room for a discussion. Cao Ping was also with him.
" Blazing Sun Clearing the Heart " was his first film, so Lin Gu had high expectations for it.
Judging from the situation at the scene today, it was obvious that there would not be much of a problem.
After the three of them sat down.
Yang Hanlin was the first to speak.
"Lin Gu, the younger generation is indeed formidable!"
"You really gave me and Huayi Entertainment a surprise with this movie!”
"Hehe, speaking of which, although you're a signed artist of Huayi Entertainment, you haven't received any resources from Huayi Entertainment, right? I'll find someone to talk to you about this later.”
"We're all family. We have to use the resources that should be used!”
The moment he spoke, Yang Hanlin was expressing his goodwill.
As a veteran who had been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, he could tell that with Lin Gu's exaggerated acting skills, as long as there were no major problems in other aspects, he would definitely become popular.
The Best Actor Award was perhaps the end point of most actors 'acting career.
However, for Lin Gu, it was an honor that he could get in a year or two.
If he didn't rope in such a newcomer, who else could he rope in?
Hearing Yang Hanlin's words, Lin Gu nodded and smiled.
"Alright, thank you, President Yang."
Yang Hanlin nodded slightly and looked at Cao Ping with a smile.
"Director Cao, Lin Gu is here anyway. I'll make it clear about the next film. How about it?”
Cao Ping's eyes lit up as he nodded.
"Alright, President Yang said."
"I've read the script for 'I'm Not the Drug God'. The theme is too sensitive. Huayi definitely won't be able to take it.”
"However,'Blazing Sun Enlightening the Mind' has given me a lot of confidence. I feel that as long as Lin Gu can participate in it,'I'm Not the Drug God' will not fail.”
"Under this premise, I want to say two things.”
Yang Hanlin paused for a moment before continuing in a deep voice.
" Firstly, I will apply to the higher-ups to make this cake bigger. Although it will be distributed to the other entertainment companies, there will be less resistance."
"The company will have to make a lot of concessions because of this, so Director Cao, you will also lose some of your power and profits.”
"Of course, the main director will still be you. The company will still not take away the right to choose people, but other companies may try to squeeze people in. In this situation, Huayi will try to stop you if they can, but if they can't, Cao Ping, you have to be mentally prepared.”
Cao Ping hesitated.
What he hated the most was that there were all kinds of connections in the production team.
However, the theme of 'I'm Not the Drug God' was indeed sensitive.
Without more help, it was impossible to pass the trial.
After a while, he looked at Lin Gu and said in a deep voice.
"Lin Gu, are you interested in helping me?”
"I only want 'I'm not the Drug God' to be a success. I don't want it to fail.”
Cao Ping had experienced Lin Gu's guidance to other actors.
Including the scene where Yang Zidao was seriously injured and treated himself, Lin Gu was the one who personally went on stage.
This made Cao Ping understand that Lin Gu was still an exaggerated genius when it came to instructing others in acting!
Lin Gu agreed without hesitation.
After all, he also wanted to become a director in the future.
In the system, he hadn't used his Advanced Director skill yet.
He could use this movie to gain more knowledge.
Seeing Lin Gu agree, Cao Ping's expression relaxed a little. He looked at Yang Hanlin and smiled.
"I agree to this point, but President Yang, I still have the same sentence."
"The theme of this movie is sensitive, so the actors can't have any problems with their acting skills. I hope the company can make this clear to the other entertainment companies. Even if they want to hire people, they shouldn't hire young hunks with no acting skills.”
"Okay, I'll tell the company."
Yang Hanlin nodded and continued.
"Secondly, I want a military pledge!”
" I'm not the Drug God. The investment you want is 70 million. That's not a small sum."
"Under the premise that there are other companies entering, I want at least this number at the box office!”
Yang Hanlin stretched out his hands and spread his fingers!
One billion!
If a movie wanted to recoup its costs, the box office sales would have to be at least three times higher.
And Yang Hanlin directly asked for more than ten times the cost
Obviously, this was the price Huayi had to pay for the resources they had spent to help 'I am not the Drug God' screen!
He saw Yang Hanlin's actions.
Cao Ping's breathing quickened for a moment!
One billion was a record that had never been seen in the history of Chinese movies!
Previously, the box office record was only 800 million yuan.
Seeing Cao Ping's hesitation, Yang Hanlin said in a deep voice.
"Director Cao, you can think of this as a gambling agreement."
"However, the bet is not about money, but the resources you will have next.”
"The box office earnings of 'Blazing Sun Clearing the Heart' should not be low. It should be enough as a stepping stone.”
"This is also the reason why I am willing to take this risk and support you in filming 'I am not the Drug God'.”
"If I'm not the Drug God's box office sales don't reach one billion in the end, then I might not be able to explain myself to the company. Do you understand?”
Cao Ping understood.
In the end, this number was not Huayi's bottom line, but Yang Hanlin's expectations!
Cao Ping wanted to use this movie to take off, but how could Yang Hanlin not want to use this movie to gain a greater say in Huayi?
Everyone took what they needed.
If Cao Ping refused, then there was no need to mention this matter.
After all, Yang Hanlin also had to bear a lot of responsibility.
Just as Cao Ping was in a dilemma.
Lin Gu suddenly said calmly.
"Director Cao, I think a billion yuan box office earnings shouldn't be a problem.”
The reason was simple.
In his previous life, this movie had finally earned three billion yuan at the box office!
Even if it was 18/19 years ago and it was only 14 years now.
However, Lin Gu still felt that this movie would at least earn more than one billion yuan at the box office.
And the guarantee was his Advanced Director skill.
