Chapter 556
In the following days, the sales of "Twin Souls on the Other Shore" continued to increase; although after the first wave of rapid growth, the growth rate became slower and slower, it was still growing after all.
Gradually, it was making a sprint toward becoming the best-selling album on Blue Star.
Forty million copies.
Forty-five million copies...
Every time the album broke a major milestone, it could cause a sensation in China and even globally; there were not a few people in the industry who had been paying attention to this album.
But not many people discussed whether this album counted as a "god-tier album."
Because, it was indisputable!
If an album with such sales and word-of-mouth success doesn't count as a god-tier album, then what does?
Tian Guang Entertainment.
Recently.
The general manager's mood had not been very beautiful.
There was no way around it.
Whoever picked up their phone or computer, no matter what they were doing, could always see good news about their rival—who could still be happy?
"The only plan now is to endure it for the time being." The female secretary sat on Lin Zhi's lap and said thoughtfully.
Lin Zhi nodded, his left hand placed on the female secretary's waist, his right hand tapping the table rhythmically, and he said with a smile: "To deal with them, we have to wait for a good opportunity... well, let's ignore them for now. Tell the operations department that from now on, put all energy and resources into 'Mars Lost,' and launch the publicity with full force! This is a top-tier sci-fi film imported from the United States, directed by the internationally renowned director Max. Whether we can have a good new year depends on whether this movie can achieve high box office results during New Year's Day and January! We must not mess this up!"
Lin Zhi was full of spirit, his face piled with smiles!
He was full of confidence in this movie.
Do you understand the gold content of the thirteen words "Hollywood + Max + Top-tier Special Effects + Sci-fi Film"?
Hollywood, the world's film mecca, produces countless excellent film and television works every year, with big stars and famous directors gathering there, making the global entertainment industry flock to it. At the same time, to a certain extent, it is also the weather vane of the global entertainment industry.
Max, an American, is an internationally renowned director, best at using emotional rendering and large-scale production, and his best film genres are war, sci-fi, mythology, etc. To date, the total global box office of the films he has directed has exceeded 25 billion. At the same time, he is also a screenwriter and cinematographer.
Top-tier special effects—only a complete film industry can produce top-tier special effects, and the importance of film special effects to sci-fi films is self-evident!
Putting these together is a super trump card!
The female secretary held down Lin Zhi's restless hand, frowned, and said: "Yes. However, boss... what if this time, those twins come to compete with us for the box office again?"
She remembered during the summer season this year, Xu Mingyue's "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child" and "Kung Fu Jungle" directly beat the movies invested in by Tian Guang Entertainment into the ground.
Although those two movies eventually recovered their costs, the investors scolded the boss bloody.
Because the gap with the expected returns was huge.
"Hahahaha..." Lin Zhi laughed, his voice echoing in the room: "Would I be afraid of them?"
"Come on this time! Haven't you seen that many movies in the industry have adjusted their schedules? They are afraid of 'Mars Lost'!"
"We couldn't compete with them for the box office in the summer season because the summer season is actually a domestic film protection month, which doesn't allow us to import foreign films. But now, I have a big foreign blockbuster in hand, whoever comes will die!"
"We are specifically hitting domestic films!"
Lin Zhi said, his greasy face leaning toward the female secretary, his eyes looking straight at her, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "Just watch, this time 'Mars Lost' will definitely sell well, and who knows, it might even break their box office record!"
"Xu Mingyue is indeed capable of making movies, but compared to top international directors, they are still too green."
The female secretary blinked, wanting to say something but stopping.
Green?
She dared not agree.
If Xu Mingyue is green, then what is the entire Chinese film and television circle?
And what are the directors and actors of Tian Guang Entertainment who have been repeatedly beaten by them?
This was something the female secretary hid in her heart, and in the end, she didn't say it.
Suddenly.
Lin Zhi yawned, the excitement just now passing, and he became a bit sleepy: "I want to sleep for a while, you go out first."
The female secretary nodded and got up to leave.
Before closing the door, she saw Lin Zhi sitting on the sofa, yawning constantly; she knew that the boss must have other things going on in secret, but she had no curiosity and didn't want to explore.
There are some things that are better left unknown.
Hengdian.
The sky was overcast, as if it were about to rain.
But on the ground, people were like ants, coming and going without stopping.
Looking down from high altitude, one could see various film crews busy filming.
Historical dramas, costume idol dramas, anti-Japanese dramas, fantasy dramas... none were rare.
Only Two Wuxia dramas were extremely rare.
Even though Xu Mingyue, with the power of the twins, raised the popularity of Two Wuxia dramas across the internet and made original Two Wuxia experience a second spring, there were still not many directors or investors filming Two Wuxia dramas.
After all, not everyone has Xu Mingyue's ability to film Two Wuxia, nor does every screenwriter have Xu Mingyue's ability to write Two Wuxia stories, and even fewer directors have their guts, daring to go crazy with the knives, and even kill off the male and female leads!
Admittedly, they were envious, jealous, and hated the achievements and box office they had obtained.
But if you can't compare, you can't compare!
Is it embarrassing not to be able to compete with Xu Mingyue?
When everyone can't compete, is it still embarrassing?
Not embarrassing at all.
[Garbled text]
Not being able to compete with the Involution Emperor is normal.
Once the thought of lying flat arises, the world suddenly feels wide.
In a word, they play their game, we play our own.
People shouldn't compare themselves to immortals for no reason.
But to say there are no original Two Wuxia crews in Hengdian is also inappropriate, for example... the "Wind and Cloud" crew.
Alright.
It's Xu Mingyue again.
At this very moment, in the studio where the "Wind and Cloud" crew was located.
"OK, cut!" Youyue said loudly holding a small megaphone.
At this moment.
Everyone in the crew, whether they were actors, script supervisors, photographers, lighting technicians, or behind-the-scenes workers, all let out a long sigh of relief, joyful smiles appearing on their faces, and then their eyes looked straight at the two sisters sitting in the director's chairs.
Seemingly waiting for some news to be announced.
"Oh... I forgot..." Mingyue and Youyue stood up, Mingyue took the megaphone from Youyue and smiled: "It's a wrap! Everyone go back and pack up first; at noon, I'm treating everyone to a wrap-up banquet!"
The "Wind and Cloud" crew wrapped up; the scene just now was the very last scene of the "Wind and Cloud" crew.
