Disaster Artist

Before the official launch of "The Raid", Blue Whale Pictures released a very formal official press release, announcing that Lu Qian's second work was ready to launch.

At the same time, this is also the first work of Blue Whale Pictures after its establishment. Everyone in the company hopes to make the first shot and have a good start.

However, there was no news media attention at all, and the reposting of social network accounts was still reposting, but there was no special treatment during the "unfriend" period when it became popular, and the discussions and heated discussions caused are naturally different. Strictly speaking, Not too much splash.

Yu Shao was a little worried that the propaganda department of Blue Whale Pictures might not have started operation, so he used his own resources to issue a press release for Lu Qian.

The contact and communication work was naturally done by Shen Yanshu, but at that time, the reporters were not very interested, one or two were perfunctory, and then they began to care about the gossip and lace news, and they were asking Shen Yanshu inside and out. Give some explosive gimmicks to be willing to cooperate.

At that time, Shen Yanshu was thinking, "Unfriending" caused so many waves, but no one paid attention to the start of "raid". Sure enough, the reporters still did not believe that the success of "unfriending" was inevitable - it was just an accident.

But today?

It is precisely because of this that Shen Yanshu's words blurted out, "I thought they didn't care at all."

He just muttered to himself, but he didn't expect that Yu Shao still heard it and replied.

"Sharks smell blood and naturally want to come together. It's just that they don't care about movies, but gossip."

Yu Shao's voice was not too depressed or sad, but with a slight smile——

No matter what the reason is, if the reporters are willing to show up, this is enough; no matter the length and angle of the report, if the reporters are willing to send a press release, the pre-publicity has already started.

Yu Shao knew that the reporters would not be willing to miss such a hot topic. Of course, they did not start a new film because of "unfriending" the director, but because of...other reasons.

In just one month, in addition to the intensive work of the "raid" pre-work, a lot of things actually happened, and there was a lot of uproar.

First of all, the official establishment of Blue Whale Pictures quietly stirred up some ripples. The most important thing is that a young man named Xiu Zhongjun served as the CEO. Starting from Lu Qian and Ji Xu, the entire team of the company has been rejuvenated. It is particularly obvious that such an operation makes people in the industry exclaim that they cannot understand——

Are you sure it's not a kid playing around?

Seriously think about it, anyway, "unfriending" made hundreds of millions, maybe that group of young people just want to mess around.

As a director, Lu Qian still needs more works to prove that the success of "unfriending" is not luck; as a film production company, that is a more difficult thing.

At present, the industry is generally still holding a wait-and-see attitude, and... not giving too much attention, because it is not optimistic, there is no need to follow up.

In particular, the two actions after the establishment of Blue Whale Pictures have made the industry more and more firm in their ideas.

The first action was that Lu Qian officially sold the production rights of "Unfriend 2" to Qiyang Media. Both parties were tight-lipped about the specific transaction price. No one knew the truth, but well-informed people in the industry still heard a few words. I heard that Ji Xu slapped Qiyang Media hard.

Fifteen million.

It is hard for people in the industry to believe that Qiyang Media is willing to pay such a sum of money to buy the production rights of this sequel. Don't forget, they are discussing the most stingy Qiyang Media!

As a result, industry rumors stopped at rumors, and their authenticity was questioned.

However, one thing can be confirmed 100%, the script of "Unfriending 2" continued to be independently created by Lu Qian and received a salary of one million yuan.

As a screenwriter with only one work, Lu Qian can get a salary of one million yuan, and he has been able to rank among the first-line in the industry. It is indeed not easy.

The script, Lu Qian gave it to Qiyang Media. As for whether Qiyang Media is willing to shoot according to the script, or prepare to adapt it, it is their business.

Not to mention the authenticity of the transaction price, but people in the industry still admire Lu Qian's decisiveness——

There are very few people who can maintain such a sense of reason. The first work was a huge success, and then the opportunity to shoot the sequel was resold. This kind of decisiveness is indeed not something ordinary people can have.

As for the correctness of the decision, it is very controversial.

The general opinion still thinks that Lu Qian is rash and impulsive. He should shoot the sequel while the iron is hot. Even if he continues the previous model and produces and distributes himself, the film should be able to achieve good box office results; the current result should be more that Qiyang Media fooled two people. A handful of young people.

Moreover, this view is further supported by the second action of Blue Whale Pictures.

Blue Whale Pictures officially announced that "The Raid" was put into production.

All the people in the industry in Lanchuan are full of question marks: ? ? ?

action movie?

Why?

Is Lu Qian's brain flooded?

Thriller movies are already very niche, and now they still challenge action movies?

It’s not that action movies are niche, in fact, the audience of action movies is much larger than that of thriller movies. Strictly speaking, action movies used to be an important type of summer blockbusters; but the problem is that action movies have been difficult to shoot new ideas. , the audience is becoming more and more critical, which also makes the living space of action movies compressed.

Every time an action movie hits theaters, it goes through a similar curve:

Curious, looking forward to, excited; disappointed, regretful, complaining; then... If you are lucky, the box office will be guaranteed, but if you are unlucky, the box office will fail to the point of underpants.

After the success of "Unfriending", why did Lu Qian choose an action movie? And this is the first work after the establishment of Blue Whale Pictures?

Baffled!

Moreover, Lu Qian still gave up the opportunity of "unfriend 2" and chose "raid"?

This is even more incomprehensible!

It is precisely because of this ~www.novelmt.com~ that the entire industry is full of question marks. Naturally, their judgment on Blue Whale Pictures has this result:

It should be that Ji Xu and Lu Qian wanted to play a house in a whimsical way, so they thought, they wanted to make movies according to their own ideas, and they didn't want to be interfered by others, so they established a utopia of their own, and then made movies recklessly. .

But this is impossible to survive in Lanchuan.

After all the box office dividends of "Unfriending" have been squandered, Blue Whale Pictures should have come to an end.

Obviously, no one is optimistic about the prospects of Blue Whale Pictures, and even followed the "raid", and no one is optimistic about the prospect of "raid".

Having said that, there are still a lot of discussions about Blue Whale Films, but it's just a topic. Every year, you can see a lot of upstarts or rich second generation who want to make a big difference in the film industry. Fan, the results are all disappointed, and now it's just another one.
