Chapter 1307 1409. Gathering of ugly friends

Currently, the official Weibo of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has officially started to update the stills of the second part, such as the new looks of Joseph and Nina, and of course there are still photos of Li Binbin.

After knowing that they can watch the second part in the new year, all the fans are very excited.

The ending of the first part makes many fans feel that it is really unsatisfying. What kind of storm will the big boss Grindelwald stir up in the second part? Will he become the Dark Lord and make the whole magic world panic like Voldemort?

And whether Jacob's memory has been restored. At the end of the first part, Queenie and Jacob smiled at each other. Are they together?

Of course, there are also countless people who are concerned about whether the male protagonist Newt returned to the United States as agreed and gave the book he wrote to Nina in person?

There are too many pits left in the first part. Nie Wei really understands the hearts of the audience. With so many questions, the box office of the second part will definitely be very ideal after it is released, and it is not even a problem to surpass the first part.

However, many film companies feel very depressed.

The National Day movie in October was completely destroyed by Nie Wei's new movie. Nie Wei's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" accounted for 63% of the total box office revenue of the entire National Day movie.

Even two Hollywood movies were suppressed and couldn't raise their heads.

Of course there are complaints. The bosses of some film companies simply complained on Fanxing Weibo, saying that the poor box office of their movies was mostly due to the scheduling, and begged the theater owners to take care of domestic movies, implicitly defining "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" as a foreign movie.

There are even some people who secretly speak out that Nie Wei's Fanxing Cinema Line takes too much care of its own movies, which is unfair.

However, there is no need for Fanxing to refute these remarks. A large number of netizens began to ridicule below.

"It's just that we give you more screenings. If our own movies are bad, no one will watch them even if we give you all the screens."

"Do you really think we, the audience, are blind? We know which movies are good and which are bad. If you have time to complain, you might as well study how to make a good movie."

"There is another movie released during the National Day this year that has a box office of more than 1 billion. Why can't your movie do well? Don't you know?"

These days, the audience is getting harder and harder to fool. The domestic film market is mature, and a group of mature audiences have been cultivated. Their judgment of movies is no longer based on online information, but they all believe that seeing is believing.

Audiences no longer choose movies based solely on the list of actors or the names of directors, but are more interested in the subject matter and content. It was not like before that the names of big stars or big directors could attract audiences to the cinema.

And traffic artists are getting harder and harder to mix, because the market has proved that high traffic does not necessarily mean good box office. On the contrary, using traffic artists will make many ordinary audiences feel that the protagonist's acting skills are very poor.

Audiences have tinted glasses, and it would be strange if the box office of movies is good.

On the contrary, more and more powerful actors have entered the sight of major film companies and directors. At a time when "traffic cannot be used much", powerful actors are increasingly recognized by the public.

This has also caused many powerful and popular actors to become more and more valuable.

Nie Wei thinks this is very good. The audience has refocused their attention on the film itself and the actors' strength. This is really mature. The blockbuster fever that Director Zhang set off at the beginning also overwhelmed the audience's minds, causing the audience to only recognize the names of directors and actors when watching movies during that period.

Zhang Yimou's, Chen Kaige's, Feng Xiaogang's, these directors' movies have box office no matter how they are shot, even if the reputation is terrible, there is a box office.

Zhang Ziyi's, Liu Dehua's, Zhou Runfa's, Liang Chaowei's, these actors' movies are the same.

Many similar situations have really hurt the hearts of many fans, and also made the Chinese film industry sluggish for a time, because the audience no longer trusts them. They walked into the cinema with expectations of directors or actors, but found that the movies were not what they liked at all.

After repeated heartbreaks, the audiences were finally disappointed. How could they go to the cinema to watch movies? Naturally, the movies would not have box office.

In the end, many big directors were forced to make TV series. Who said that movies don’t make money? Even the most famous directors have to support their families.

This development is definitely abnormal. Fortunately, the Chinese audiences matured quickly. After a few lessons, they grew up quickly. More than ten years have passed. Now the Chinese film market has lost a wave of audiences who only look at the surface, and has a group of fans who pay attention to the true connotation of the movie.

And this is the foundation of the Chinese film industry. With this foundation, Chinese film companies can be encouraged to make good movies.

Because only good movies can have good box office. Nowadays, with box office of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, who would not be tempted?

Although the film companies are depressed, they have no choice but to release the New Year films they made. Of course, many movies have begun to advance the release date temporarily, just to collect some box office before the release of "Fantastic Beasts 2" so as not to be crushed too badly.

According to the box office revenue of the first film, the screening rate of Fantastic Beasts 2 will definitely not be lower than 50%, which is absolutely a terrifying figure during the Lunar New Year holiday. When faced with such a behemoth, even if you are confident in your own movie, you still need to think twice.

Of course, some film companies are eager to try. Nie Wei's films have dominated the film industry for too long. Within two or three years since he became a director, the film industry has become his world. As long as his films are released, the box office champion of the year will belong to Nie Wei.

He is like a lone king, sitting on the throne at the top of the film industry, looking down on everyone.

Everyone has seen Nie Wei's achievements, and they respect and envy him. However, with the emergence of many excellent domestic films in recent years, everyone suddenly feels that Nie Wei's achievements are not out of reach.

Just like the domestic patriotic action movie two years ago, the box office reached 5 billion, which is only one step away from Nie Wei's highest box office record "Interstellar".

There are also many movies with 20 to 30 billion emerging, and the number even exceeds the number of hands. Although there is still a distance from Nie Wei's highest box office record, it is not as far away as before. This makes many film companies or directors see hope, and see the hope that they can also sit on that throne.

Nie Wei certainly knows that many people want to surpass his box office record, but Nie Wei is looking forward to such challengers, and the more the better, because the more such works there are, the more it represents that the Chinese film market is becoming more and more mature, and the more hope there is to surpass Hollywood.

Growing up to now, Nie Wei no longer cares about the results. He cares about the general trend of the entire Chinese film industry. Only when the Chinese film industry is getting better and better, his business, his reputation, and many of his things will also improve.

January 15th, less than a month away from New Year's Eve.

A large studio in Fanxing was decorated by the Wuchao group, with long tables and chairs, delicious food, and ribbons and balloons hanging around to symbolize the festive atmosphere.

Of course, the most obvious thing is the three big characters on the stage, "Jie Chou Peng".

After nearly two weeks, the Wuchao group Jie Chou Peng party is finally about to begin. In fact, it didn't take so long to invite guests. The final combination of Ou Di and Chen Jianzhou only took seven days.

The remaining time is actually because the celebrities who are confirmed to participate have adjusted their schedules. Not every celebrity who is invited to participate is very idle. The end of the year is actually a busy time for celebrities.

Therefore, for the artists who can participate, the program team of the Infinite Challenge Group also specially wrote a thank-you letter. After all, being able to participate in the program in a busy schedule is really a face-saving thing for the Infinite Challenge program team.

Nie Wei also came to the scene, and even brought Yang Di with him, making him the eighth guest of the Infinite Challenge today.

Yang Di's state is obviously a little too excited. It is definitely something worth showing off for Yang Di to be able to mix into the host group this year. Even if it is just this special, it makes him very excited.

Even after receiving the notice from the program team, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for half a night.

Just like many celebrities always like to show off how many big-name friends they have, this seems to be a very boring move, but it is actually meaningful.

Because your friends are big names, your LEVEL will rise accordingly.

This is the reality, and this is why many fans of big stars hate those artists who take advantage of their idols, because they always feel that they are taking advantage, but in fact they are taking advantage.

For example, Zhang Xiaoxiao, the most famous person in the circle, actually gained his fame to a large extent by taking advantage of those popular female stars.

If you mention what he has hosted, I am afraid that many passers-by don’t know, but if you ask passers-by whether this star is close to those big-name artists, I am afraid that passers-by can tell a lot.

Yang Di sneaked into the host group, and of course he also took advantage of the popularity of the Infinite Challenge Group. Moreover, just this time, the company will definitely add a note to his artist resume. When the team contacts him for commercial performances and other activities, they will definitely promote the fact that he was the host of the Infinite Challenge Group.

Yang Di is not a saint, so he naturally doesn’t think that this way of taking advantage of popularity is shameful. He is very happy to be able to sneak in.

The recording of Infinite Challenge has always been very casual, so casual that many people in the circle feel it is "excessive". Just like today, when Nie Wei arrived at the scene, the camera was already working. Everyone greeted Nie Wei casually when they saw him coming. Yang Di wanted to give his seat to Nie Wei because it was closer to the center.

Nie Wei did not let Yang Di change his seat, and stood casually in the corner. He was not a person who emphasized the camera.

But the program team was not casual at this time. The author wrote on the whiteboard to remind Ma Dong. Soon, after a "deliberate" fight, Nie Wei was pushed to the side of Ma Dong by a group of people.

The director of the program team was very satisfied. The camera lens finally didn't have to scan the corner all the time.

Except for this short accident, the program returned to a casual rhythm. The hosts gathered together, but there was no passionate opening slogan or anything like that. Everyone gathered together and chatted while waiting for the guests.

The main thing was to ask who the other party had invited.

"We invited Chen Qiaoen and Hu Ge, who are confirmed to come. Others like Jia Xiaoliang said they would consider it." Nie Wei replied.

The others also said which ones they were sure would come.

The way a group of people were chatting, they didn't look like the host at all, but rather a group of ordinary people who got together to gossip.

After chatting for a while, the first guest appeared.

There were monitors in the studio, which could be connected to the camera to see the appearance of the guests, but the production team was very tricky and avoided their faces at the beginning, making it difficult for the host to guess who was there.

"It's a male guest."

"Nonsense, do you need to tell me that?"

"I feel like the figure looks familiar, with a good figure and tall."

"I think I guessed it."

"What did you guess? You're totally wrong."

The host was like a guessing audience, watching the monitor screen and guessing non-stop. Some were right and some were wrong. Unknowingly, there were many more guests in the studio.

For example, Hu Ge, who Nie Wei confirmed, was the first to arrive. The young man was a little flustered after coming in, mainly because he didn't often appear on variety shows. Suddenly recording this kind of reality show without a script, he didn't know what to do.

Nie Wei pulled him to his side and took care of him.

There were also people like Mingdao, Wu Xin, Li Weijia, Jia Xiaoliang, Chen Qiaoen, Li Binbin, Ren Quan, etc. Many people who seemed to resist the invitation all came.

The list of artists who agreed to the request was only known by the program team, and Nie Wei didn't know it.

So many artists came to the scene, which surprised Nie Wei, such as Alan who suddenly appeared on the scene.

Seeing Nie Wei's surprised look, Alan was very proud and showed off the Japanese bento she made, which attracted many people's admiration.

When it comes to bento, Chen Qiaoen hid far away.

Because she brought a bento from a restaurant, because she can't cook.

"After this episode is broadcast, will I be even more unmarried?" Chen Qiaoen said to the camera with a sad face.

Mingdao on the side interrupted in a very idol drama way: "It doesn't matter, I will marry you then."

Chen Qiaoen looked shy, and Nie Wei was also very happy to see it. This woman is too good at acting. He knew very well that Chen Qiaoen really didn't mean that to Mingdao.

But when the show is broadcast, this segment will definitely cause many fans who used to be fans of Baodao idol dramas to sigh, and if they don't listen, it will also cause a "really sweet" stalk similar to "really fragrant".

However, this accidental scene also reminded Nie Wei that Chen Qiaoen was actually a very good host before she became an actor.

Or give her a show and let her return to her old job?

After all, in today's entertainment industry, the status of variety shows is no longer as humble as it was in the past. Many actors and singers are crossing over to variety shows. Since Chen Qiaoen has this ability, why can't he also give it a try?
